THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Siren wailing ] Esme: Come in. Drew, hey. Hey, hey. I heard the dna test came back, so come on. Well, it’s official. I’m trina’s father. What?!

[ Chuckles ] Congratulations, man. Thank you. Wow, that is the best thing in the whole world. How do you feel? Man, I —

[ Exhales deeply ] She’s a gem. I hit the jackpot, right? Yeah. I got goose bumps. Look at that. I do. I do. I mean, trina’s just such an amazing young woman. Yeah, you know… I do have my regrets about all the time we had apart. Well… but, hey, I’m looking forward to future. That is the curtis that I know right there. Are you — is that why you’re here right now? Am I barging in on some daughter time right — no, no, trina’s staying with josslyn at carly’S. Okay. Okay. So she’s not ready to come back home yet? No, but I am. I moved my things in.

Really? Why you sound so surprised? Well — well, because last time we talked, you said — you said that you were kind of conflicted about your feelings. So does that mean you got everything figured out? I’m zeke. Jordan. But like I said — no, no, no. I heard you loud and clear. I’m just gonna get my drink, and I’ll go.

If that’s still what you want. A tequila soda and a lime. You’re awfully sure of yourself, aren’t you? I’ve always had my way with people. Only child? Uh, no, I have a sister. Why? Hmm. Well, it’s been my experience that many overconfident people have grown up as the sole focus of their parents. Hmm. Well, my confidence and i will leave you alone. Enjoy your drink.

[ Monitors beeping ]

[ Door opens ] Good evening, willow. How are you holding up? I just started my shift, but I wanted to check in on my very favorite patient. You doing okay? Yes, clara, I… I don’t think I can be anything other than absolutely grateful. Grateful is good, but a bone marrow transplant is a very difficult procedure. It’s okay to say you’re in pain.

[ Sighs ] Okay, then, uh… it hurts way more than I expected. I just can’t find a comfortable position to sit in. Well, if it’s any comfort, that’s a common reaction.

[ Exhales deeply ] Now, we just have to find some ways to distract you.

[ Chuckles weakly ] Would you like it if I had your mom come in? My mom? Yes. She’s been camped out here 24/7, barely left your side. I’m sure she would love to see you, if you’re up to it. Laura: Hey. Hey. Got a minute? Of course. What’s up? I need to talk to you about something. As opposed to in about 30 minutes, when I get home from work? Yeah. Yeah, it’s that important. Okay. What is it? Oh, it’s — it’s that important.

[ Chuckles ] I’ve made a decision about something. Um, I know you’re gonna try to talk me out of it, but I’m not gonna change my mind. Okay. Hit me. I’m going to look for nikolas. Or more specifically, I am going to russia to look for nikolas.


Can’t believe chase has been gone for so long. And you know what? He isn’t your waiter. We can’t talk around him. Then why not wait till we’re home? I was going to pull you aside tonight, but then I saw you lounging here by the pool, getting absolutely nothing constructive done. And you haven’t brought me anything yet on the deceptor patent. I’m sorry. Don’t apologize. Don’t make excuses. Fine. Oh, is it chase? Is what chase? Is he too much of a distraction? Because I can tell him that it was me who made the phone call to get him reinstated. Shh! Keep your voice down, okay? Yes, you are the one who called the ccrb to have them look at his case, but chase got himself reinstated. He’s not gonna like it either way. And by the way, brook lynn, really, a policeman? He’s a detective. Uh-huh. Those law-and-order types are so hung up on the rules. Yeah, imagine that. You just need to do your job, okay? And do it fast. I’m just — I’m worried. About what? You. Whatever you have planned. Look, maxie, sasha, and lucy are my friends, and I’m not gonna do anything to hurt them. Hey. Hey, hey, hey. Are you reading the report that I just finished reading? Uh, with the initial numbers for the sales of the deceptor? It almost seems too good to be true. Oh! Too good to be true? Oh, pooh. Come on. That deceptor is flying off the shelves because it’s a fantastic product, and we marketed it, we promoted the heck out of it, and so we deserve to celebrate. What, without brook lynn and sasha? Yeah, just us for now, but then we can celebrate again tomorrow. Maybe mimosas in the morning and champagne for sunset. And, you know, taking that product, the phenomenon that it is, back to home & hearth, that was such a genius idea. Whose idea was it? Oh, that’s right. It was mine.

[ Cork pops ] Ahh!

[ Both laughing ] So, what brings you in today? Um, I have a really sore throat, and my whole body aches, and so I just wanted to make sure that it’s not strep, both for my baby’s sake and so that I don’t spread it at work. Work, huh? Yeah. I, um, got a job at the invader. At least, I think I still have a job. Things didn’t exactly go very well my first day.

[ Chuckles ] And spreading an infection to the whole staff of the paper might be the last straw? Exactly. Okay, um… let’s take a look at you, then. Already working, huh?

[ Thermometer beeps ] Uh, yeah. I wish I didn’t have to. I hate the idea of leaving ace. Well, do you? I mean, do you have to work? I mean, ace is a cassadine. Well, I mean, ace is my son, and I want to make sure that spencer can’t take him away from me by claiming I’m unfit or lacking the resources to raise him. Well, that’s exactly my point. I mean, you do have resources. In the eyes of the law, anyway. W-what do you mean? I can’t give up. I need to at least try to work things out with my wife. I think moving back in, that’s a great first step. Baby step. I’m still in the guest room. Okay. Okay, nothing wrong with taking things slow. Yeah. It just sounds so weird, taking things slow with my wife. I think it sounds smart, man. I’m happy for you. Yeah, well, I just wish everybody felt that way. Oh. Jordan? Yeah. Portia had told her that I moved back home before I got to break the news to her. Aw, really? Yeah. Man, I sure hated for her to find out that way. Yeah, I know you did. That’s not good. I’m sorry, man. So jordan was really upset?

[ Sighs ] She accused me of using her to sort out my feelings. I gotta be honest, I can’t even be mad at her, because that’s valid. Yeah, but not what happened? Not at all, man. I would never intentionally hurt jordan like that. Sometimes, in order to do what’s right, you gotta — you gotta hurt the people that you love. Honey, are you okay? Did I say something to upset you? No. No, I-I — I-I just, um… I have been working double shifts. Whether I come in at dawn or midnight, your mom is always here looking after you. Really? Is that so hard to believe? Do you two not get along?

[ Chuckles weakly ] The thing is…

[ Grunts ] Last year, I found out that the woman who raised me my entire life, the woman I called “mom,” turned out she wasn’t my biological mother after all. Oh, honey, I’m so sorry. That must have come as quite a shock. It did. The woman who I thought was my mom, harmony, I think it’s safe to say that she was a very damaged human being, lost and looking for guidance. She was easily manipulated, easily fell prey to the wrong people. She wasn’t always the protector a good mom should be. I think she tried, but, still, somehow… she was your mom and you loved her. Yeah, I did, even though she let me down over and over again, and even after I found out she wasn’t really my mom. It’s crazy. I — I… my first instinct is to always defend her. Nikolas has been missing for months. Why the sudden push to try and find him now? I think something is wrong, and I think he may need my help. And I found out that there’s a property that the cassadines own in chechnya. He may very well be there. Well, there may be a cassadine property in russia, but that doesn’t mean nikolas is living there.

[ Chuckles ] I know that. I do. It’s just that it’s the only lead that I’ve got. I just don’t believe that my son would completely abandon both of his sons. I — I think that either he is being held against his will or that maybe he’s fallen into some kind of a deep depression. Either way, he needs help. I’m his mother. I’m gonna help him. Yes, you are, and you should.


Okay, to… worldwide domination. Ooh, I like that. Okay, and cruelty-free cosmetics. Oh, I like that, too. Okay. To the deceptor.

[ Glasses clink ]

[ Both laugh ] Really? I mean, that’s it? You’re not gonna fight me on this? You’re not gonna tell me how dangerous chechnya is? You already know how dangerous it is, and I know that once you’ve made up your mind, there’s no point in trying to talk you out of it. Thank you for understanding. I understand all too well. That’s why I’m going with you. Rumor has it that the feds are gonna be offering carly a deal if she gives them sonny. But they haven’t approached her yet? No, it doesn’t even matter. Anybody that knows carly knows that she would never do that to sonny anyway. I mean, they’ve — they’ve been through a lot together, but when it comes to protecting their family, nothing trumps that. So, if giving up sonny is not an option, what is? They will likely pit carly and me against each other. No prison time if you testify against carly, and vice versa. Damn. Only one of you can make that deal. And I think carly might be considering it. Oh, thank you. I’m sorry if I was rude. No, don’t apologize. I appreciate a woman who’s direct. Most men say that, and then… then what? Someone do you wrong? My mood is my own fault. I did something stupid. That doesn’t sound like you. You don’t even know me. Convince me I’m wrong. I kissed my ex. Ah. And then he promptly went back to his new wife. Ooh. Yeah, so…

[ Laughs ] Like I said, stupid. But you know what? What? I told myself I wouldn’t waste another minute, so — and I know you just got one, but… can I buy you a drink? I’m a mom. Three blessings. And on our best days, we can do spectacular things — get everyone fed, off to school, hold down a job, stop the pain from hurting. But we’re only human.

[ Sighs ] And on our best days, we just do what we can. But when we have those rough days, those days when that little voice is screaming in our heads to just run away, we have to forgive ourselves for not being perfect and just know that’s what we can do as moms. I don’t know this harmony, but I can tell that you still love her.

[ Chuckles ] Now, maybe she didn’t have great parents. Maybe when she got you, she thought she’d improve on what she was taught as a little girl. That’s the best we can do as moms — strive to do better for our little ones, not repeat our mother’s mistakes, because we don’t want to make those same mistakes again. So we just strive to do our best so that we can leave things better for the next generation of moms.


why is that? I knew this was a solid concept, but I never dreamed deception would be so successful. Maxie jones, you need to dream bigger. And if you don’t mind me saying so, you really do need a bigger house. What? Come on, we gotta move you on up. Okay, okay, I know. I’m living with three kids in a two-bedroom apartment. That’s insane. But it takes time to find a new place to live, time that I do not have. Okay, that’s why they made computers, though. You know, I don’t do much realtor work these days, not with all this, but I do have access to the fabulous real-estate website still. Why don’t we take a deep dive and scoop you up a dream house?

[ Both laugh ] Okay. You’re acting like I want you to murder someone. As if that’s out of the realm of possibility. Brook lynn, this is just business. Well, maxie, sasha, and lucy are great bosses, and deception’s doing really well. Well, all that’s gonna change, and soon. What just happened? I thought you might need some water. Willow: Thank you. I don’t mean to be nosy… but I have to assume that the woman who’s been here every day looking after you, making sure you get your pain meds the minute they’re due to be given, is your biological mom. How did you find her? Oh. No. [ Laughs ] She’s not my mom. She’s my mother-in-law. Really? As devoted as she is, I could have sworn she was your mom. Well, that’s carly, and I love her dearly. And she has a really big heart. Well, good for you. I never got along with my mother-in-law. That’s too bad. I’m so thankful to have carly in my life. Well, I’m sure she’s thankful to have you in her life. It’s just a shame that your biological mom died without you getting to know her. My biological mom is alive and living right here in port charles, but I want nothing to do with her. Well, drew, I get that carly wants to put the kids first, but you’re my guy. I know you, and I know you feel the same way. Absolutely. Are you kidding me? I’ve missed out on so much of scout’s life already. The last thing — the last thing — I want to do is miss out on more. Is there some scenario where you and carly could beat the charges together? Yeah, well, I’m working on it. Nothing concrete yet. Alright, well, just know that my offer to help still stands. I know that, and I appreciate it. But it does seem so extreme. What does? Well, the merger between aurora and elq never happened, so nobody made any money. Just the opposite, actually. Okay, so is this one of those slap-on-the-wrist deals where you do community service or pay a fine and then everybody’s on their way?

[ Exhales deeply ] Not likely. Not if the us attorney’s office wants carly to flip on sonny. Okay, let me get a big “ahh.” Ahh. Good. Okay. Accepting financial support from your baby’s father, it doesn’t make you unfit.

[ Sighs ] I’m just terrified that I’ll lose ace. You have rights, esme. But, anyway, as far as your throat, it does look irritated. I don’t think it’s strep, though. But we’re going to do a culture just to make sure, okay? A-and what about the muscle aches? You endured a horrible ordeal when ace was kidnapped, right? Well, so did you. Yeah. Yeah, I did. And I had trouble sleeping. I had trouble eating. Did the same thing happen for you? It was awful. I mean, my baby coming home was all I could think about. I think you’re under a lot of stress right now. I did have a panic attack at work yesterday. How are things going at home? I’d imagine living with spencer and laura is pretty tense, right? I mean, it’s not the best situation, no. Um… I actually tried to leave the other day. Have they threatened to cut you off if you decide to leave town? Uh, just the opposite. Spencer says he’ll follow me wherever I go.


You want to go with me to chechnya? What about your job? What about your job? I got jordan ashford to agree to take on the job of deputy mayor, so the city is left in very good hands. And besides, there’s e-mail and there’s zoom if there’s any kind of an emergency. Well, I have plenty of vacation time banked.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Wait a minute. What about esme and spencer? Don’t we think they need a little bit of supervision? That’s really more like refereeing, and they are adults. They have to learn how to figure things out sooner or later. They can’t just keep coming to you or me to do it for them. Do you really want to leave spencer and esme to their own devices? Yeah. How about I see if alexis and her daughters are okay with being on spencer watch? Oh, I like that. Okay. I can always ask sonny to keep an eye out, too. Then it’s settled. We’re going to chechnya.

[ Laughs ] It looks like it is. Okay. Okay. We’ve got to find somebody who can speak the language and who knows how things work in that part of the world. Right, um… where do you think one would find such a person? I know who to ask. Oh, look at this one. Look at that three-car garage. It’s got a beautiful patio off the master suite. Giant pool. Gorgeous, sexy jacuzzi. Beautiful. What — look at the chandelier. Look at the — you could throw the most beautiful parties. It is gorgeous. And look at that kitchen! Wow. Wow! But, lucy, why are you showing me mcmansions? I can’t afford any of these. And besides, who has an outdoor pool in upstate new york? It’s so impractical. You say impractical, I say necessary. You know, swimming is very, very good exercise. Lucy. Okay, maybe it’s a little extravagant. I have three kids. Extravagant for me is not eating their leftovers for dinner. Very cute. Okay. Didn’t we just agree, though, that you’re gonna dream bigger, think bigger? That’s what I’m trying to get you to do. Come on, dream bigger. Okay, I need a bigger house… mm-hmm. …So that all of my kids can have their own rooms. Georgie will be over the moon, and james, he’ll finally stop bugging me. Wait a minute. Wait for it.

[ Gasps ] Okay, look at this one. Look at it. Oh, tree-lined neighborhood. It says “good schools,” excellent schools. Big backyard. Wow. Four bedrooms, three baths, and walk-in closet. Did you say three bathrooms? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay, talk about the lap of luxury. I am in love. And, look, it even has a little white picket fence. Ohh. Aww!

[ Both laugh ] When did I start liking white picket fences? Does that mean I’m a grown-up now? I think you become a grown-up when you became a mother. But you know, you do you. You get to do whatever you want and what you think is right.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Gasps ] Wow! I love it. So, the mechanic tells me, “a rabbit ate your engine.”

[ Both laugh ] Not possible. Actually, it happens a lot more than you think, especially in the snow. The engine is still warm, and the rabbit is looking for a source of heat, so it curls its way up by the engine and starts chewing on the hoses. Oh.

[ Chuckles ] When they popped that hood, rabbit fur everywhere.

[ Laughs ] So not a fan of bunnies, huh? Uh, no. Not anymore. Where are you from? How do you know I’m an out-of-towner? I’d remember if I’d seen you before. Alright, well, you got me. I’m new to port charles. This place is starting to look better by the minute. Wow! Nina reeves is your mother? I read crimson religiously. Oh, it’s a shame she didn’t get a chance to raise you. I mean, I’m not sure it’S… really a bad thing. Harmony had her faults, but nina…

[ Sighs ] …Is a train wreck. Oh, honey, I don’t believe anyone’s all bad — or all good, for that matter. We’re all flawed and imperfect. Some of us give in to our good instincts. Some of us give in to the bad ones. Life is complicated. But it sounds to me like the universe wants you in each other’s orbits. Nina’s aunt liesl saved your life with the bone marrow transplant. I think the universe wants you in each other’s lives. No, no. Nina’s made too many mistakes that every time I give her an inch, she takes a mile. Yet you forgave harmony for her mistakes.

[ Sighs ] Is nina really that unforgivable? Yes. Yes, that’s — that’s exactly what I’m saying. So, if you were to get a call saying that nina had died in an unexpected car accident, how would you feel?


This house, it does seem perfect for me. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, an amazing kitchen, good schools. But, lucy, can I really afford it?

[ Sighs ] Come on. Look around you. Think about what an amazingly successful year we’ve had here at deception together. Right, but what about next year and the year after that, and the year after that? Okay, okay, okay. That’s a valid point. But all we’re going to have to do is come up with more and more products, new and better products, and we can do that together, as long as we just put our minds to it. Come on, maxie. Live for today. To living for today. Mm-hmm. And to deception. To deception.

[ Laughs ]

[ Glasses clink ] I hope you don’t mind that I got your phone number from brook lynn, but I have a problem with something, and you were the perfect person to talk to about it. Oh, no, no, no. It’s not official city business. No, it’s personal. Uh, my son has been missing for a few months now, and I have reason to believe that he might be in a home in chechnya. And the thing is, my husband and I don’t speak russian, and we have never been to that part of the world, so we were sort of hoping that you might know someone who could act both as a translator and as a guide. So, would you happen to know anyone who would fit that bill? Uh, well, kevin and I would like to leave as soon as we can. In my opinion, you need to do what’s best for you and that baby. I agree, but laura does have a good point. I mean, I can’t take care of ace all by myself, and if I leave town, then I’ll have to get a full-time job. But maybe not. People need money to eat and to buy clothes and put a roof over their head. Yes, of course, but do you honestly think that spencer would let his baby brother go hungry? I don’t want to be dependent on anyone. I respect that, I really do. But maybe moving out of port charles with your baby would be better for you. Sounds to me like you’d be more comfortable without ace’s family watching your every move. The situation is just so untenable. You know, at some point, something’s gotta give. And thank you for talking this out. I know that you have enough on your plate, so I really appreciate it. Well, it is awkward being in my own house and staying in the guest room. Yeah, I — I bet it is. But I owe it to myself and to portia to hang in there, make it work. I’m proud of you. And that kiss, man, it just confused everything and it brought up feelings that were better off buried.


and the truth came out about who she it was just a question.

[ Monitors beep ] You don’t play fair, do you? It was just a question.

[ Sighs ] When harmony died and the truth came out about who she really was and all the bad things she’d done, I still miss her, and I never stopped loving her. And, yes, I wish she were still alive. Your biological mom isn’t dead. No, she’s not, and she very badly wants to be in my life and my kids’ lives. And if nina were to die tomorrow…

[ Sighs ] …I think I would feel another loss, like I did with harmony. But with nina, it’s — it’s so much more complicated. Does it have to be? My relationship with my mother wasn’t perfect, but I would do anything to see her again.

[ Pager beeping ] Oh. Oh. I gotta go. I’ll see you later, sweetheart. Thank you, yuri. What? Did yuri say he can’t help us? Just the opposite. He’s between jobs. He said he’d love to help us. That’s excellent. For the first time in weeks now, I-I actually believe there’s a chance that I will see my son again. Someone is gonna call you with the result of your throat culture. And in the meantime, here’s a prescription. It’s gonna help you manage your pain. Thank you. So just, you know, eat healthy, fluids and nutrient-rich foods. Okay. So, take care of yourself and that baby. Will do. And, um, I’ll think about what you said. I really hope that things work out with you and portia, man. I really do. Well, time will tell. Drew, let me know if you need anything. Only if you do the same. You got it. See you, man.

[ Sighs ] Hey, it’s drew cain. Um… we gotta move up the meeting regarding the sec. I… I want to talk about a deal. Where’s tracy? Gone. More pté for us. Ugh, I hate pté. Really? Me too.

[ Both chuckle ] So, uh, what’s going on with you and your grandmother? I wish I knew.

[ Sighs ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

It’s actually really good. Yeah. Mm-hmm. You got some mad skills, Mr. Cook? Well, if I say so myself, it does pair rather nicely with the champagne. I’m sure it does. You know the French stole the idea for champagne from the Scotts Champagne. There’s no way That’s true. It’s absolutely true. Ah, Scottish people invented all kinds of tasty things.

We invented hamburgers, pizza, okay, you’re literally just making things up. Now. Why would I do that? Scottish or famous inventor as, what else did we come up with there? Zippers, hoverboards. Kissing. Kissing. The Scott’s invented. Kissing. Well, maybe we just. Perfecting it.

Oh, I’m just glad this time you didn’t slap me,

yo. I just wanna make sure that all units know unequivocally, this is our top priority. It’s all hands on deck situation. Okay, well keep me posted.

Oh, well, how’d the arraignment go? I may bail. Yeah. Good. Yeah. Well, your sister will be relieved. Yeah. Well, it helped that Talia expressed great remorse for her actions, and I assured the judge that she will testify against Colin. Right. Well, unfortunately that will all be moot if we can’t find him. What do you mean if you can’t find him?

Call and escaped.

Wait. You can’t just put me in jail. I’m an innocent civilian. I didn’t do anything wrong. You had contact with a known fugitive and you failed to report him to the police. I was scared. Okay. I was shook. Look, look at what he did to my phone. I was worried he would do the same thing to me if I ratted him out to the fuzz.

You sure you weren’t keeping quiet so you could write about this in your column? You know, clout chasing as they say. What? No, no, I wasn’t chasing any clout. Detective, please do not put me in jail. I am not suited for it. It won’t come to that Leo just so long as you tell me every detail about your encounter with Colin Bedford.

Thank you. Yes, I am more than happy to help, but is there any way you can leave my name out of it? I do not need another target on my back. Another one. Believe it or not, Colin Bedford is not the only evil European dreamboat who might be out to get me. A couple of summers ago, I incurred the wrath of one of Salem’s, shall we say, newer bad boys, Dimitri Von Weisner.

Sorry, me. I’m gonna have to side with your boy on this. I’m gearing up for a custody fight and showing up in court with my nephew on my arm is not likely to win many brownie points with the judge. Pathetic. Oh, relaxed mother. Plenty of fish in the sea. Yes, but most of them are not suitable for you to marry Dimitri.

If we’re not gonna keep it in the family, then we have to be very careful finding you an incredibly special woman to marry. Yahoo. Anyone home The door was open. I’m looking for Dimitri Vonner. I’m Dimitri. And you might be Gwen first check editor in chief at the Spectator. Ah-ha. So you’re a reporter. Mm.

And also my friend, but I take it you’re here on business. Yes, I am. I’m, um, actually hoping to get the scoop on your nephew. He’s, uh, was in quite the stir and um, I’m sure that our loyal readers would love to know a bit more about Mr. Tall, dark, and Handsome. Well then it seems that you’ve come to the right place.

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

sister. Hmm? You have yet to introduce me to your charming friend here. Oh. Oh. Well forgive me. Um, Gwen, this is my sister, Megan Damara. Megan Gwen, pleasure to meet you. Likewise. So how do you two know each other? Um, but you like to tell her or shall I? Oh dear. Um, well, Uh, Kristen blackmailed me into helping her escape police custody.

Such a good friend, good friend that I am. I returned the favor helping Gwen out of a jammer too, including obtaining her, pardon when we were at Statesville together, which I am still very grateful for. And, uh, forgive me if I’m being too intrusive, but what brought you to prison?

Well, um, my sister Abigail, your Uncle Chad’s. Deceased wife was being a bit of trouble, and I mean that with absolutely no disrespect at all. She was a wonderful woman. I still grew her loss actually, but being at a very vulnerable time and place in my life, I perceived her to be quite a threat. Um, so sort of shipped her off to a deserted island,

but, um, she was eventually rescued, wasn’t she? Um, yeah, but when she found out that I was responsible for shipping her to said island, well, you get the picture. Sure. Yeah. It sounds like, um, Well, it sounds like it was a trying time for you. Yeah, it was more trying for Abigail actually. It’s something I will always regret doing to her, but anyway, enough about me.

How about you? I have been following your story, Dimitri. I find it quite fascinating and I would really love to get an interview with you. Sorry. But I’m not interested in doing press.

Let’s not be so hasty.

What happened after he destroyed your phone? He just walked away. The creep. Do you remember in which direction? West? No, east up left. I’m, I’m directionally challenged. Needless to say, I didn’t follow him since he was the one with the gun. Okay. Uh, is there anything else that I should know? That’s everything.

I swear you’re well then. Thank you for your time, Mr. Stark. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait, wait. I answered all of your questions. So, in the interest of reciprocity, I think it’s only fair, you answered some of mine bad. What? Your sister, Talia Hunter.

Wait, Colin took the mayor hostage. Well, we don’t know that for sure, but it’s, it’s a hell of a coincidence. This is all . Yeah. I mean, Chanel and Paulina must be so freaked out. Are there any leads, Jane’s questioning a potential witness as we speak?

Just when I’m starting to forget what that felt like. I can’t believe you slapped me again and I can’t believe you kissed me again. And Gwen’s not even here to witness it. So it’s not for her benefit. No, it wasn’t. It was for your benefit. For mine, I meant for our benefit wasn’t a performance. I meant it.

I, oh, no, Chloe, I just, I’ve been feeling kind of a vibe between us and I thought you were feeling it too. Was I wrong

actually, if I’m being honest, you weren’t completely off base.

So I, I wasn’t imagining it. You, you did feel a spark too, right? Maybe.

Okay. Yes. I, I did feel it. And not just tonight. Ever since you and I moved in here together, I’ve sensed that there’s, you know, something between us. Yeah. See, I’m just happy to know. I’m not going mad. You don’t seem too thrilled. It’s because I’m not Well, why is that? I mean, I mean, you said you were moving on from Brady and that that ship has sailed, so That’s true.

Brady and I don’t have a future together. What’s the problem? The problem is, ugh. I hate that I’m attracted to you.

Listen, Talia, I just want you to know that Colin’s escape has absolutely no bearing on your situation. Okay? Your bail’s been granted and you’re free to go. You just need to be very careful. Yeah. I just can’t believe all this is happening. Like what was Colin thinking? Hopefully the police will find him and they will come back.

Safe and sound. Pray to God that you’re right. Listen, I, I have to go home, but, um, do you have any questions? No, seriously, just thank you so much for all of your help. Yeah, of course. You have my number. Don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything. Okay.

Anywhere? No, not yet. So you don’t have any idea where Colin might have gone? No. I, I mean, I suppose he might be going back to New York, but then again he doesn’t have many friends there to speak up. Right. Okay. Well, you think on it, if anything comes to mind, he let me know, right? Yeah, of course. All right.

Wait, before you leave, um, I owe you an apology.

What questions do you have about my sister? Well, how are things looking for her? I do know she was arrested for being Colin Bedford’s partner in crime. She wasn’t his partner. No. From what I hear, they were regular Bonnie and Clyde, and I don’t mean Lockhart in Weston. Or maybe I do. Those who both did go to prison for killing people.

My sister didn’t kill anyone, but she did trash Paulina’s office and drug those biscuits. I wouldn’t say her hands are exactly clean in all this. Well, that’s because Colin was extremely manipulative and she was naive. She didn’t know. Well, it’s not like she didn’t have a choice. You didn’t have a gun to her head.

Well, that’s easy to say if you’re not being abused. Okay. Are you saying Talia was trapped in an abusive relationship? Can I quote you on that?

Mother, please. I’m suffering from some serious jet lag, and the last thing I need right now is to be grilled by the fourth estate jet lag to meet Tri Dira. We do jet lag. After all. This isn’t just any reporter, Ms. Rice, check risk check. Yes, that’s what I said. Is a friend of your aunt, I’m sure she doesn’t have a malicious agenda.

No. No, of course not. Honestly, I, I just want to get your story out there and there are already some quite, uh, uncharitable rumors floating about. I would just like to give you the opportunity to clear them up. Okay. Well, the thing is, I don’t give a damn what people think. So let the rumor mill churn. Are you sure that’s wise?

Would you like to just give it a thing? Thank you so much for the opportunity, but my answer is no. My son. Can we please have a private word together

if we must?

We.

Listen to me, Dimitri, you do not want to miss this golden opportunity. What do we hear, what people say about us? This is not about pr. This is about making that reporter the future. Mrs. Von Leischner.

Congratulations on your immunity deal, Kristin. Very impressive. How you managed to keep pulling rabbits out of your hat. Ah, well, I am no magician. It’s, oh, thanks to my sister this time. So you made an ally, have you? Mm-hmm. Maybe you don’t trust her. Of course not. She is a dememer. Yes, as is her son.

Obviously. He seems to be feisty. I guess that’s a word for it. Yeah. Well, I’m quite feisty myself too, if you haven’t noticed, and, uh, I’m very determined to get that interview. I’m going to do everything in my power to make that happen.

You can be serious. You want me to marry that? That rice checks woman Riz check. And you rejected my other idea. So, because I won’t marry my own aunt, now I have to marry the next stranger that walks in off the street. She’s hardly a stranger. She and your aunt were prison mates. So she’s a fall mother.

This is, this is even worse, Dolly. Her crimes are child’s play compared to what you and I have done. That is not the point. The point is, oh, wouldn’t you want me to be. In love with the person I’m going to marry. That is a luxury that we don’t have time for. If you want to inherit the enlo or forcing, you have to be married by the time you are 40, which is fast approaching.

So forget about love and go in there and convince Lois Lane to marry you as soon as possible. I’m sorry, Lois Lane, but this interview is over. Actually, I’m more of a Clark Kent. Okay, fine. Maybe I am a Lois Lane. Well, besides, don’t you want your sister’s side of the story to be told, especially since you know she was being abused?

I shouldn’t have told you that. Look, I get it. I know people don’t like talking about that stuff, but I can relate. My father was physically abusive. Well, this was more like emotional abuse. See, I can relate to that too. My mother was the queen concert of all forms of emotional manipulation in blackmail.

If you ask me or my therapist, a woman should wear a crown. Look, I, I appreciate your empathy, Leo. I do. But I can’t continue this conversation with you right now. I need to focus on finding Mayor Carver and Mr. Bedford. Sure. Of course. And I don’t mean to sound insensitive, but I do have a journalistic responsibility to print what you’ve already given me.

I understand I can’t stop you from printing what you’re going to print, but as someone who’s been abused yourself, I would hope that you would have some idea of what my sister is going through, so hopefully there’s a, a heart in there somewhere and you keep my sister’s name out of your call.

And why do you feel it’s, you owe me in apology? I don’t know. I mean, for one, you went to the hospital because of me. Hmm. And I don’t know, you just, you spent so much time and energy looking for the person responsible. And if I would’ve just said something sooner, you know, if, if minute my guilt, things wouldn’t have gotten as bad.

So I, I just wanna say that I’m, I’m really, I’m really, really sorry. Okay. I appreciate your apology. I respect you taking responsibility for your actions. I just wish I could say the same thing about Colin. Yeah. You know, all this time I thought he was the victim, you know, because of like what happened to his parents, and that’s how I kept rationalizing.

What he was asking me to do for him, but I swear, I, I swear I never thought that he was this dangerous. Okay. I, I never genuinely thought that he was gonna hurt anybody.

Well, something tells me that he hit it pretty well. Yeah. Obviously I just feel really bad that I dragged my sister into all of this. I know. This is like a really bad look for her that I’m caught up in like this huge scandal. Yeah. Well, Jada doesn’t care about that. She cares about you. She loves you. Why?

She hired the best damn lawyer that she could find. Now my advice, I wanna make things up to your sister. You do whatever the hell bell tells you to do. Okay?

Oh my God. What the heck? Howdy, howdy, howdy. Sean, you’re home. Why didn’t you tell me you were flying back? I’m sorry. It just, you know, things, uh, just all happened very quickly. Have you been drinking? Uh, yes. And if you ask me, not nearly enough,

Sean, what’s going on? Did something happen with your dad? Nope. He’s uh, Still in a coma. Nothing’s changed. It’s all quiet on the Western front. So then why are you guzzling all this beer? Um, be, that’s a good question. Let me, um, hold, let me think about that one. Um, Maybe it’s because I shot my dad and I put him in a coma.

Okay, come on Sean. Listen, I’m gonna say this to you for the umpteenth time. It was an accident and everyone knows that, and everyone has tried over and over to get you to know that, so you’ll stop torturing us. Accident or no accident Bell, my old man is hanging on by a thread, not to mention my wreck of a mom who can, who’s just doing everything that she can just to try to stay positive.

Okay. Every day goes by, I gotta sit there and I gotta see her suffering, knowing that there’s nothing that I can do to help her. In fact, you know what? I think that, I think that I just made things worse. So that’s the reason why I came home. Sean, your mom does not blame you for what happened? Yeah, maybe not consciously.

Okay. In any case, After we got my dad situated, I just felt that it was best to, to make myself scarce. Well, from what you’ve told me, he’s got a, a team of world-class doctors and, you know, maybe they’re gonna find a way to bring him back to us. I just, I hope, I hope that Megan doesn’t find out where he is at.

Oh, come, my mom, she’s, she’s got enough on her plate as it is. Uh, yeah. About Megan. Um, EJ told me that she’s actually back in Salem. Wait, what? Yeah, she’s staying at the Damir mansion.

No. No. Where are you going? Where do you think I’m going? I’m gonna go give that bitch a piece of my mind. Yes, mother. I am well aware that there is a time crunch, but I’m not turning 40 tomorrow. I’d like to, you know, explore my options. What options. You’re not seeing anyone. And the last romantic encounter you had with Billy Reid was all an act.

Am I correct? You really don’t see how crazy this is, do you? Well, maybe a little crazy is what we need in this fortuitous situation, Dimitri, that inheritance money is rightfully yours. And let me let you in on honorable secret. I have big. Plans. Plans that require significant funding. So you need to put a ring on her finger, but why this woman, mother?

I mean, I’ve only known her for two minutes. I don’t know anything about her. Well, let me bring you up to speed. She is successful, she’s smart, she’s beautiful, but she has a delightful accent. That’ll be a wonder to wake up to every morning. What more do you need to know? Oh, I don’t know off the top of my head.

Uh, do you have a priest in mind for the ceremony or maybe we go with an Elvis impersonator? Oh, and you know what be helpful is, uh, knowing whether or not the bride to be is, uh, single. I did not see anything on her finger, but nail polished. So as far as I’m concerned, she’s fair gain. Now go in there and sweep that woman off her feet.

Well, you are taking this whole reporter thing very seriously. Yes. Well, I, I think I do have quite knack for it. I think I get that from my dad. Oh yeah. It’s too bad that you couldn’t bond with him over it. I mean, considering you did steal the paper from him and my friend Jennifer, my dad and your friend Jennifer, do have another paper in Boston that they’re running and they’re just fine.

Thank you for asking. Not that you cared. So you have a knack for being a reporter. I mean, good for you. How is it working with your, uh, ex? It’s the least enjoyable part. Especially considering the fact that he’s insisted that he bring on his little bird. He must mean Chloe Lane. Mm. The boring third rate singer, which my precociously perceptive child calls the evil one.

How do you know? Well, my Precociously Sharp eye daughter, uh, told me that Chloe and Zander were playing house together. Oh. Oh. And then I saw them yesterday and uh, they were kind of cussing up together. Oh.

You know, Zander says that there’s nothing romantic going on between them, but. To be honest, I think it’s just a matter of time before they have a romp in the hay. 10. Well, selfishly, I am relieved that that human barnacle has finally detached herself from Brady. I am sorry for you. They’d have to deal with her.

Oh. But if you want, I could, um, give you some pro tips on how to disappear the love, some pitch. I mean, if that is, if you wanna get back with Sander. I really appreciate that, Kristen, but that is literally the last thing I want. Oh, I said so yes, I’ve decided that it’s time for me to hop off the Zander.

Merry go round. Since he’s not really serving me anymore, given his very fickle nature, I need to put the rate behind me and move on with my life. Maybe even find someone new.

I don’t understand. Like why would you be upset about having feelings for me? Because you are you I clears it, right? Huh? Oh, come on, Xander. Like you can’t figure it out. You left me in the clutches of a Mexican drug. Lord, you, you shot Brady. You locked Nicole in a shark cage and, and you’re the literal clown who kidnapped Susan and Bonnie.

Well, that seems all your PowerPoint presentations missing is the slides. Look, if I’m so bloody awful, why do you have feelings for me? Because I’ve, I’ve seen another side of you. I’ve been sneaking peeks at me in the shower. Have you?

No, boy, just mean I’ve seen another side of you as a human being. You know, when you confessed your remorse about Susan’s death, I could tell that you really meant it. I guess there is a little heart. In there and you’ve gone to bat for me with Gwen and getting me that job at the paper, and you’ve just, you’ve been really kind to me and ugh.

And then you go and make me this beautiful dinner.

Are you saying that you might actually like me after all clothing? Like, like, like me, Todd, help me. Well, if that’s the case, I have a suggestion. Stop fighting your feelings cause that’s always a losing battle. Put down your harpoon and just

give into what your heart desires.

Ah, this, this is a really bad idea. We, we would live together. We work together. This could get really complicated, really fast. We’d have to commit to anything, Chloe, but we just take it day by day, see where it goes. Yeah. Especially since you’re still getting over Brady. And what about you? Are you really over Sarah?

Mm-hmm. And I told you I was, look, it’s like what you were saying to me about you and Brady still have feelings for her, but I know that ship is sail. Speaking of ships, I just realized that I’ve been involved with like half of your male relatives, Brady, Phillip, Damos, Victor’s godson, Daniel, sorry. So I should learn from my past mistakes and just swear off all Kiki men since it never seems to work out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m the best in the whole bunch and you’ve never been with me. Seriously, Chloe, I think we should stop overthinking this. I say we try that kiss again and this time. Don’t focus on what you should or should not feel, and then you’ll have your answer. Are you sure you wanna risk getting slapped again?

I’m willing to take my chances

at this point. Dear Reader. You probably believe you’ve heard everything there is to know about Colin Bedford and Talia Hunter’s sorted tale of revenge, but you would be mistaken for lady whistleblower. Half uncovered the latest, greatest juiciest new bombshell to date. According to Talia’s sister, detective Jada, hunter Talia has been the victim of emotional abuse inflicted upon her by Mr.

Bedford. Talk about a twisted relationship.

Select all.

Delete. Oh, I hate having a conscience. Damn you, detective. Oh my God. I am so happy that you may be, I heard about Colin, um, was Leah Stark? Give any hope. Ah, not really. When Leo ran into call and he was still wearing Officer Henshaw’s uniform. Hmm. And there was no sign of Mayor Carver. Great. So we’re back to square one.

Oh, I’m, I’m so sorry guys. Don’t, don’t worry about it. We’re not gonna stop until we find them. Yeah. I mean, is, is there anything I can do to help or, yeah. Yeah, you can go home, lock your door, and then let the police handle this. Yeah. You know Ray’s right. Colin is probably very upset with you about turning on him.

You need to be very careful, Talia. I’ll have one of my officers give you a left home. Okay? Thank you so much. Yeah, listen, if you hear anything from Colin, call me right away. Okay? Yeah.

We’re so sorry for the delay, but have wonderful news. After a brief but uplifting pow wow. My son has decided to do the interview. Isn’t that right? Mere? Yes, that is correct. But like I said, I’m pretty worn out for my travel. So if we could please schedule Liz for some other time. Yes, yes, of course.

Whatever is convenient for you. What about tomorrow? You too can have a nice chat over dinner. Um, could we perhaps make it lunch? I’m, I’m quite anxious to get this story out before the intruder descends, you know? Well, either way, we’ll gather your contact information from Kristen and we’ll send along the details.

Right. Okay. Brilliant, brilliant. Um, I look forward to hearing your story. Mr. Honner. Please call Dimitri.

I am so glad that this worked out. Something tells me that this lunch is gonna be an exciting opportunity for both of you.

Sean, no. Give me the keys. Well give you, give you my keys. What? What are you, are you the valet now or something fell. You’re in no condition to drive and confronting Megan right now is not gonna change anything. Be Listen to me. My dad. My dad is fighting for his life because of that bitch. Right. She messed with his head and she, she kept him from his family.

You think that she doesn’t deserve to, to answer for that? Of course I do, but there’s nothing that we can do right now, so just give me the keys.

You know, I suppose that as much as I’d like to, I, I, I can’t, I can’t place the blames squarely on Megan’s shoulders because, Because I’m the one that pulled the trigger.

Sean, just, why don’t you put that down and come to bed? Why? Hmm. I got two beers left, and you know what they say? No soldier left behind Sean. I really think that you’ll feel better if you get some sleep. I said, no Bell now will just leave me the hell alone.

What’s the verdict? He was nice. Nice, nice. Hmm. Now I was kind of hoping for steamy or lovely or Please. And to whisk me away to Paris. Okay. You’re gonna have to settle for Nice for now. Okay. Okay. Nice. It is. Please. I didn’t get slapped this time. That’s progress, isn’t it? No, don’t push it. Okay. Well, in the name of not pushing it, I am not gonna kiss you again, even though I really wanna, so, um, what should we do?

Any ideas?

I think that we should. Get back to that dinner.

Look, I’m, I’m sorry that I snapped at you. Okay. I’m sorry, but look, I just, I want to be left alone. Well, you’re drunk. And you’re not thinking straight, and the last thing you need is to be alone. Listen, I’m fine. I’m fine. You’ve got my keys. You know I’m not going anywhere. I’m gonna be right here. Okay. So just, just please, just go to bed.

Okay. I’ll wait up for you.

I love you.

So Kristen, do you have any ideas where Dimitri and Gwen can dine together tomorrow? Why not Should leave that one detail up to me mother. What about shenanigans? Is that place still open? No, it went under years ago. Rather fitting though. Considering what you two are plotting, whatever do you mean? Ah, my Spidey sins tell me that you believe that you found Deri here.

A wife subtlety was never my mother’s strong suit. That’s very discerning of you, Kristin. Yes. I believe that Gwen, what’s her name, will be a pseudo means to an end. Oh, how romantic quote from Wordsworth. What’s most important to me and Dimitri is that he inherits what’s rightfully his, and if it turns out to be a love match between he and this charming British woman so much, the better.

There you are. Here I am. So how did it go with z Yvonne Leischner? Did you get lost in his eyes and have trouble finding your way home? Even better. He offered to give me an exclusive interview at lunch tomorrow. You lucky double. How did you manage to score such a hot story with an even hotter hunt? Some gwenny magic, I suppose.

Meanwhile, I’m over here with Bks for my column tomorrow. Oh dear. No big scoops for Mattie. I had one, a great one. In fact, it was, but someone had to go and guilt me out of it. God, why would I say anything to that idiot? Much less that TA was in an abusive relationship. Oh, look, I, Leo Stark is relentless and provocative and.

You were obviously upset. Thanks for trying to make me feel better. But we both know that he’s going to print every word that I said. I mean, it’s, it’s Leo Stark, right? Yeah, that’s Leo Stark. Listen, if what you said ends up in his column, we’ll deal with it. Okay? Thanks. Yeah, and listen, if you wanna go be with your sister, I understand.

No, I, I’ll go later. Right now the best way to help my sister is by finding Colin and Abe. Otherwise, she can take the fall for everything that Colin made her do. Well, that is not gonna happen, I promise. Well, let’s find that bastard.

Thank you so much for sending me home officer.

God, I could use a long hot shower.

Officer Shaun.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ridge: All right, everyone just take a breath. Why are we fighting here? What’s going on?

Brooke: Taylor has been playing me for months.

Taylor: Stop it, brooke! That is not true!

Brooke: Oh, god!

Taylor: That is not true!

Brooke: It is true. She broke our pact, ridge. She destroyed our friendship. She used me, and the only reason she did that was to get to you.

[ Restaurant chatter ]

Hope: Hey, hello again.

Deacon: Hey.

Hope: Hey, dad.

Deacon: Hi, hope.

Hope: You okay? You seemed a million miles away.

Deacon: Yeah, I wish. Uh, I don’t suppose you have a space shuttle I can borrow?

Hope: [ Laughs ] Uh, no? Why, what’s going on?

Deacon: It’s about your mother.

Thomas: All right. This is the one I was telling you about. What do you think?

Steffy: I think it’s stunning.

Thomas: Well, I’ve kind of changed up everything. The– the color, I revamped the bodice, and it was all last minute, but I just had to go with my gut.

Steffy: Well, it’s paying off. Look at it now.

Savannah: It’s one of my all-time favorites, thomas.

Thomas: Thank you. Yeah, I, um– I kind of decided to do the floral thing.

Thomas: You know, I was gonna go with a solid color, but I feel–

Steffy: No, no, you can’t go wrong with florals. Hope’s gonna love it.

Savannah: Hope loves everything thomas does.

[ Thomas chuckles ]

Savannah: You and hope work great together. So in sync, almost as if you were a couple.

Steffy: Okay, well, thank you, savannah. Uh, thomas and I, we actually have a meeting, so, if you don’t mind, um…

Thomas: Can you let alterations know this is a go?

Savannah: Of course. No problem.

Thomas: Yeah, thank you so much for your help.

[ Steffy sighs ]

[ Door shuts ] Don’t freak out.

Steffy: Don’t freak out?

Thomas: Yeah, savannah was just making a harmless remark.

Steffy: So, she’s not sensing a vibe with you and hope?

Thomas: There’s no vibe to pick up on, okay? What she said was just completely random. There’s nothing to worry about when it comes to hope and me.

Hope: Okay, so, what do you mean by that? Why is there an issue with mom?

Deacon: Well, I guess you’re gonna find out eventually.

Hope: Find out what?

Deacon: I tried to get with your mom. I– you know, I asked her if there was a chance of us having a future together.

Hope: You did?

Deacon: Yeah. And she shut me down very nicely.

Hope: I’m sorry, dad.

[ Deacon scoffs ]

Deacon: I just– it was stupid.

Hope: No, it’s– it’s not– it wasn’t stupid. You two shared a very special bond once upon a time.

Deacon: A long time ago. But you know what? I got the very best gift possible out of it. I got you. I should know by now that your mother doesn’t want anything besides friendship, and I– I never would have even reached out to brooke if I hadn’t listened to…

Hope: Uh, uh, listened to who?

Deacon: Taylor.

Taylor: No, no, no, she is– she is– she’s making– do you– you– you are making…

Brooke: So ridiculous.

Taylor: …Things up, brooke. What you’re saying isn’t even true.

Brooke: No, no, no. You know what? I know exactly who you are. Okay? She was pretending to have a friendship with me when all she really wanted, ridge, was you.

Taylor: Stop it, just stop! None of that is true.

Brooke: Taylor, you are not digging yourself out of this one.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: You know what she’s doing, ridge? She is setting me up with other men, so that she could have a clear path to you.

[ Exhales in frustration ] Your hair is damaged,

Steffy: Thomas, I have heard those words before.

Thomas: Okay, nothing is going to happen.

Steffy: I know you believe that.

Thomas: It’s not even a thought in my head.

Steffy: Yeah, maybe not in your head.

Thomas: Okay, look, hope and i are too focused on the line, uh, to care about anything else. We’ve got italy coming up, and– and douglas and anything besides that, not on our minds. But you can be as paranoid as you want.

Steffy: Oh, okay. So, as– as co-ceo of a multibillion-dollar company, I’m just being paranoid? Gotcha.

Thomas: I get it. I get it. You– look, we– we all have a lot going on, and with rome coming up, we’ve got the fashion preview and press events.

Steffy: Yeah, it’s a lot. There’s a lot on the line, thomas. And not just financially. Durability, reputation. Your reputation.

Thomas: I understand what’s at stake as much as anyone, okay? But I’m not gonna do anything to jeopardize hope’s line or her marriage.

Hope: That’s shady. Oh, taylor trying to set up mom with you or hollis so she could go snag ridge. That is…

Deacon: Just ’cause it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck…

Hope: Okay, dad…

Deacon: Smells like a duck…

Hope: I mean, I know a little more about taylor than you do, and I know that playbook, and this is certainly a page straight out of it.

Deacon: I just hate to think the worst of her, I mean, I’m not trying to throw her to the wolves here, okay? But, I mean, taylor definitely broke your mother’s trust.

Hope: No, they had a pact, and– and mom was loyal to that agreement.

Deacon: Oh, I don’t know, I– I don’t think the two of them are gonna be agreeing on much of anything in the near future.

Hope: No kidding. I mean, do you think taylor was ever mom’s friend to begin with or, like, has she been planning this the entire time? I don’T…

Deacon: I– you know, I– who knows? I– I– I don’t think so.

Hope: This is wild. I mean, does mom know? Someone has to tell mom.

Deacon: Oh, don’t you worry your pretty little head. Yep. She knows.

Hope: You told her?

Deacon: No. No, no, no. She figured it out by herself.

Hope: That’s sad. That’s sad. It’s like, one step forward, 10 steps back.

Deacon: I think, probably, right now, as we’re speaking, taylor and brooke are duking it out.

[ Whispers indistinctly ]

Taylor: I don’t wanna fight with you, brooke.

Brooke: Mm-hmm. You should have thought of that before you double-crossed me.

Taylor: Oh. Oh, okay. That is not what I was doing.

Brooke: [ Laughs ] Oh, really? What would you call it then?

Taylor: I would call it “retaliating,” because I knew that you didn’t keep your side of the pact.

Brooke: Will you stop?

Taylor: No.

Brooke: Stop with all your excuses, okay?

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Brooke: You’ve been scheming this for months. All those lunches at il giardino.

Taylor: Oh, come on, brooke. It’s the hottest restaurant in la, we love the food.

Brooke: You were trying to set me up with hollis. And when I told you that that just wasn’t gonna happen, then you went to deacon, and suddenly, deacon is calling me out of the blue trying to make a move on me.

Ridge: Why would deacon think he had a– a shot at you? I don’t understand.

Brooke: Oh, well, because of things that taylor said to him. I mean, she urged him to go after me. She said that, “this is your chance. This is your opportunity to be with brooke since ridge is off limits.”

Taylor: That is true. But that didn’t all happen at once. Brooke, I spent so much time with you and deacon when we would go to the restaurant. That’s how that started, and I actually saw a connection, so don’t start trying to make this into something that it’s not.

Brooke: Just stop already. You set deacon up for heartache, and you sold me down the river, all because you wanted to clear your future with ridge. Clear the path to ridge. That’s what you wanted. Why don’t you just admit it already? Admit it, taylor. You already confessed to me. So? Ridge is here. Why didn’t you tell ridge what happened?

Ridge: Is it true? If you’re making a to-do list today… 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, available now at walmart.

Thomas: Come on, steff, we’ve talked about this so many times.

Steffy: You think I want to be focused on you and hope?

Thomas: Then stop. What have I done to make you question my integrity?

Steffy: I am not pointing the finger at you, thomas.

Thomas: Kind of feels like you are.

Steffy: You know I love you. You know I’m proud of you, and I recognize all the dedication to the line as a designer, as a fatheR…

Thomas: Then what more do I have to prove to make you believe in me?

Steffy: I do believe in you. But that doesn’t mean I still don’t have concerns about you and hope spending so much time together.

Hope: Well, this is a disappointing development.

Deacon: Hmm.

Hope: Mom must be really upset.

Deacon: She’s definitely hurt and she feels betrayed by taylor.

Hope: Well, she should. I mean, a world-renowned psychiatrist. Please. I mean, pushing two people together, knowing that you have a soft spot for mom, and she not only used mom, but she used you.

Deacon: All right, wait, hang on a second, I didn’t get used, I’m a big boy, I knew what I was doing, all right? I figured, “what the hell, why not give it another shot? I got nothing to lose.”

Hope: No, that family is beyond frustrating. I mean, taylor and steffy, they’re hypocrites. They are. They always give me and mom a hard time about being logans when taylor went and betrayed mom. Please, I hope this entire thing blows up in her face.

Taylor: Okay. I– I know that this doesn’t look good for me right now, and I get that. But what I did was not all… manipulative and shady.

Brooke: Yeah. Keep telling yourself that.

Taylor: Yeah, brooke, I will. You know, maybe, with a little bit of time… once you’re not so angry… maybe, you can see this, um, from a different perspective. I– I– I trusted you and our friendship, too. But it’s over now, right?

Brooke: Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much seems that way.

Taylor: It does.

Brooke: I mean, when you had deacon call me to come over to il giardino, you were here talking with ridge and trying to secure your future with him.

Taylor: Uh-huh.

Brooke: Isn’t that right?

Taylor: Well–

Brooke: I mean, I happened to overhear some of your conversation, ridge, to…

[ Chuckles ] So much for vowing to not fight over ridge, right?

Taylor: Well, yeah, you have your part in that, too, but yes, that is– that is true. I hate this.

Brooke: I hate this, too. I mean, we’ve made peace, taylor. We vowed to be friends. I just never expected this from you.

Taylor: Oh, god.

Brooke: My friend, taylor.

Taylor: My friend, brooke.

Ridge: Can I talk to, uh, brooke in private for a minute?

Taylor: Okay, that’s a good idea, but don’t let all the stuff she’s saying make you think worse of me.

[ Brooke laughs sarcastically ]

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: You haven’t heard both sides.

Ridge: We’ll talk later.

Taylor: Okay.

Ridge: I can see how hurt you are.

Brooke: I am hurt. I mean, I… I just feel so gullible, and so blindsided.

[ Brooke scoffs ] I don’t know, I– I don’t want to talk about taylor and how she– how she, uh, broke my trust.

Ridge: Okay.

Brooke: But I would like to talk about… you and me. And what our future looks like from here. When it comes to your hair, ingredients matter.

Thomas: We are heading to italy. So, this should be an exciting time for the family, for the company, and for hope for the future.

Steffy: It is. Rome is a magical place, and I have watched people get swept up in the beauty and romance of it all.

Thomas: Okay, but not hope and me, right? Because we are just colleagues. We– we work together, and that’s it. Strictly professional.

Steffy: Yeah, I know that’s your intention.

Thomas: I promise to you that nothing’s going to happen, and I’ll back it up. If something ever did happen, I’ll buy you a new car.

[ Steffy chuckles ] I’ll buy you a new house. That’s how confident I am nothing’s going to happen. I promise there will be no drama in italy.

Niente.

Steffy: I– I can’t help, but be apprehensive, and I’m not trying to rain on your parade or anything.

Thomas: Okay. Rome is going to be awesome. We are the talk of the town, right? Why can’t you just have some faith, and know that everything’s gonna be okay?

Steffy: Hope you’re right.

[ Door clicks open ]

Thomas: Mom.

Taylor: Hi.

Thomas: Perfect timing, actually. I have some sketches I want to show you.

Taylor: Oh, good. I– I wanna see the sketches.

Steffy: What’s going on with you? You seem upset.

Taylor: No. No, I– I don’t want to… I– I just– I don’t want to–

Thomas: Mom, obviously, something’s going on, what’s up?

Steffy: Tell us.

Taylor: Brooke and i got in a fight.

Steffy: Like, physical?

Taylor: Yeah. Well, kind of. Yeah, um, then, your– your dad walked in on it.

Thomas: Okay, what were you fighting about?

Steffy: Yeah, I thought you two were super close.

Taylor: Me, too. Um, she thinks that I broke the pack, and I think it was the other way around. It’s complicated, uh… but I did end up forcefully suggesting to deacon that he reach out to brooke and, uh, try to make a life with her. Which initially, was– was because they’re– they’re cute together, and I thought it would be a good idea, but anyway, uh, long story short, um… brooke is accusing me of– of scheming.

Steffy: Wait, but hope is trying to… she’s been trying to get her parents back together for years. What’s the difference?

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Timing. And because it’s coming from me. So, brooke found out, and she’s accusing me of trying to get her out of the way, so that… I can be with your dad.

Thomas: Okay, so, um, what does this mean? Does this mean that your pact with brooke is over?

Taylor: Over. It’s– it’s done.

Steffy: And does that mean you now wanna… be with dad again?

Taylor: I have never not wanted your dad.

Brooke: Oh, god! The nerve of her! You have every reason to be upset. But I gotta tell you, I find it really hard to think that taylor is as calculating as you think she is.

Brooke: Yeah, yeah, well…

[ Laughs ] Oh, ridge. There is so much going through my head right now. I– I can’t even begin to tell you. But I– I don’t wanna waste any more time thinking about taylor. I want to focus on you and me and our future together. I never thought that this would be a possibility again. But I want you to know… that I never stopped thinking about you. Never stopped wanting you. Longing for you. Wanting you back home with me. I can’t believe it. I, uh– I chose myself, and I chose a friendship– a friendship with taylor… over the man that… the man, you. Over you, a man that I’ve loved most of my life.

Ridge: Yes, we’ve been through a lot. And we’re here. But honestly, do you… you really still believe in eternal love? Because I don’T.

Brooke: I do believe in eternal love. And I still believe in our destiny.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nick: All right, I’ll make you some tea, you can go and check on faith.

[ Lock clicking ]

Sharon: Nick.

Nick: Just got to make sure everything’s locked up.

Sharon: Nick.

Nick: You know, we can’t get comfortable, because if we do, that’ll be the opportunity that cameron needs.

Sharon: Okay, nick–

Nick: Hey, this bolt is loose. I’m gonna have to fix that. You should close these curtains. What about the guest room?

Sharon: Nicholas!

Nick: What?

Sharon: Calm down.

Nick: Sharon, we have to be proactive.

Sharon: I know, we will. And I’m going to go and check on faith, but I am not going to alarm her.

Nick: Yeah. It’s probably best. What about the tea, is that too much?

Sharon: I think that’s an excellent idea. Listen, we are not going to freak out about cameron. We can’T. We are going to remain calm and rational. I’m not gonna make the same mistakes I made with him last time. And I’m not gonna let you do that either.

[ Door slamming ]

Tucker: You still seem agitated.

Ashley: Well, I am.

Tucker: Even after?

Ashley: After what?

Tucker: Mind-blowing sex, man.

Ashley: Oh, that.

[ Chuckles ]

Tucker: I’m in my happy place. You should join me.

Ashley: I can’t, not while diane jenkins is–

Tucker: Oh, diane jenkins, diane jenkins!

Ashley: Easy, easy.

Tucker: I got an idea. Right now, we go to the airport, you and me, and we fly anywhere in the world. Vacation. Take you away from all this diane jenkins stress.

Ashley: I can’T. Not while this stress wants to marry my brother, and destroy my family. Not a chance.

Tucker: Mm. Worth a shot.

Ashley: [ Sighs ] You don’t honestly think that I’m gonna walk away from this fight, do you?

Tucker: All right, so you’re not afraid of diane. Congratulations. I am. And if you’re not careful, you’re gonna strangle her.

[ Chuckles ] You’re gonna be fitted with your own ankle monitor.

Jack: It’s been a very full day. May I take you home?

Diane: Yes, you may. But not yet. I never want this day to end.

Jack: Then I will hold you in my arms as long as you want.

Kyle: What the hell is phyllis doing here?

Summer: Kyle, you followed me here?

Kyle: I was worried.

Phyllis: I can explain.

Kyle: I don’t give a damn about your explanations. We are going to the police station right now, and you are turning yourself in. Strong enamel is your best defense

Additional sponsorship provided by…

Summer: I know that this is a huge shock.

Kyle: You think?

Summer: I mean, it is for all of us, I– I’m still getting used to it myself. Seeing my mom in the flesh like this, it’s amazing.

Kyle: That’s one word for it. How long has phyllis been here?

Summer: Daniel, could you please wait in the hallway? In case somebody else comes, you could head them off.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Kyle. Well, I’m– I’m sure you have a lot to say to me, right?

Kyle: Damn right, I do! Summer was broken because of you. My mother was facing life in prison because of you.

Phyllis: Aw, your mom is so innocent. Isn’t she? She’s never committed a crime, she’s never hurt anybody or put anybody through pain, right?

Summer: Mom, please.

Phyllis: Uh– it’s okay, babe. I’m sorry. Kyle, I’m sorry. I really am. Please, believe me. Oh, god. I’m sorry, I– my head’s spinning. I– I– this is so hard for me. I know I put a lot of people through pain, and one of those people is your mother, and I am so sorry. Kyle, please believe me. That’s why I’m back. That’s why I’m here. I want to make amends. I want to make things right.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Love won, jack. We won, because of you. You made this possible. Your love, your compassion, your patience. You let me back into your life when everyone was telling you to run the other way. And I saw you struggle, I saw– I saw how hard it was for you to trust me, and I– I just wanted to be worthy of that trust.

Jack: I have never loved you more.

[ Diane chuckles ] And I couldn’t be more excited about our future.

Diane: When we were dancing, I was thinking about how I could have never had this kind of day as the person I was before. But I’m free of the past, of– of so much bitterness. Falling in love with you again, seeing your grace, your generosity of spirit, learning from you… I’ve found a compassion of my own. Even for phyllis. As angry as I am with her, I also pity her.

Jack: I thought we weren’t gonna talk about phyllis tonight.

Diane: You’re right. Let’s talk about you some more.

Jack: No, I got a better topic. You said earlier you can’t wait to get married.

Diane: That’s right.

Jack: So, when? When can we be pronounced husband and wife?

Ashley: Diane is unfinished business for me.

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: I can’t focus on anything else until I handle that, which is why I need your help.

Tucker: A very wise woman once forced me to become a better man in spite of myself. And, uh, I kind of like who I’ve become. Feels very good. This, however, feels very… aggressive.

Ashley: Are you not hearing anything I’m saying to you? I’m doing this for the right reason. I want to save my family, and the abbott legacy, which, by the way, used to be jack’s reason for existing until diane hijacked his brain.

Tucker: Do you really believe that diane is after jabot?

Ashley: Yes. She’s not marrying jack because she loves him, she wants access to respectability, to money, to power.

Tucker: And jabot is her ticket?

Ashley: Yes, she will convince jack to give her her position that she’s not qualified for, and she’ll use it to claw her way to the top, which is why I– you know, as I told you, I spoke to the board.

Tucker: So, your idea is to weaponize the board against jack in order to save jack?

[ Ashley sighs ] I don’t like that word, “weaponize,” but…

Tucker: Whatever.

Ashley: Yeah, it’s the only way.

Nick: How’s our girl?

Sharon: She’s awake, and, um, on high alert. She’s snuggling with borgnine, I think he makes her feel a little safer. But now that we’re back home, she’s gonna try to get some sleep.

Nick: This is crazy. It makes me want to hunt down this creep and run him out of town myself.

Sharon: Nick.

Nick: I know, I know. Calm and reasonable.

[ Sighs ] Calm and reasonable, but it is getting harder and harder to be rational about this. This madman is on the loose. We don’t know why he’s here or what he’s planning on doing.

Sharon: Maybe, it’s time we let victor and nikki know what’s happening. Why give your family just any eggs

Nick: I’ve already alerted ranch security. If we bring my dad in on this, it’s gonna turn into a whole different situation, and I’m not sure I’m ready for that.

Sharon: Well… your dad does have resources that we don’t have access to.

Nick: I know, but if we ask for his help, he’s gonna want something in return.

Sharon: Well, his family is in danger. He would do whatever it takes to protect them.

Nick: He absolutely will, but I’m telling you, he will use it as leverage to get something he wants from me, like… make me work with adam at mccall, which he’s already tried to do and it’s never gonna happen.

Sharon: Oh, I think you’re overreacting.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Am I? He hates my relationship with sally. We already have the police on this, sharon.

Sharon: Well, you said yourself, they’ve come up with nothing on cameron so far.

Nick: I do hate the waiting.

Sharon: Yeah, I know. You’re horrible at it. Nick. If you take matters into your own hands, I don’t know if we will be so lucky as we were last time. It’s a miracle that we’re actually still here after what went down in that plane.

Nick: I know.

Sharon: We should have worked with victor from the start last time, instead of waiting until I was framed for frank’s murder. This time, we know who cameron is, we know what he’s capable of, and we need to be reaching out for all the support we can get. We need your father.

Tucker: If I’m gonna ride shotgun on this thing, we need to analyze every angle.

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: Like, when things don’t go according to plan. ‘Cause jack, if nothing else, is beloved by all. Yes, he is.

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: And it’s gonna take real artistry to convince the board that he’s unfit. And billy’s on his side. And traci, well, she just wants to get along with everyone. What about kyle? I don’t see us getting his vote. And do you want to bring abby through the ringer?

Ashley: Okay, okay, you’re right. I know, there’s parts of this plan that require some serious finessing, but nobody finesses better than you. Right?

Tucker: Mm-hmm. But if you– if you come at the king and you miss… jack would be lionized, he’d be untouchable, and diane would be right there with him. And you would’ve lost your family in the process.

Ashley: I’m not going to fail. Period. It won’t happen.

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: And then, diane will lose, you know, her access to respectability, power, and money, and she will lose interest in jack. And she’ll move on to the next jeremy stark, and jack will be sadder, but he’ll be wiser.

Tucker: Thanks to you.

Ashley: Yes. Thanks to me. I’ll save my brother, I’ll save my family.

Tucker: Mm.

Ashley: Oh, and by the way, diane will get a long overdue karmic kick in her ass.

Tucker: Hmm.

Ashley: Don’t you want to be along for the ride, baby?

Tucker: All right. I’m in.

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: But if we’re going in full throttle like this, I have a suggestion.

Ashley: Of course.

Tucker: We get married immediately.

Diane: Okay. Before we set an actual date, there’s just a few details I wanna run by you.

Jack: Okay, but I pre-agree to almost everything.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Good idea. Okay, I’d like it to be small, yet elegant. After our big announcement at the gala, I’m a little gun shy about grand gestures.

Jack: Understandably. Small and intimate is ideal.

Diane: Good. And I’d like harrison to be our ring bearer.

Jack: That would be my choice, too. He will steal the show, you know that, don’t you–

Diane: Oh, oh, I– I hope so. And normally, I would ask kyle to walk me down the aisle, but I’m assuming that you’re going to want him to be your best man, so…

[ Sighs ] …I would love it if we walked down together. Because that’s how we’ve done everything since you let me back into your life.

Jack: I love that. I would like nothing better.

Diane: Good. And… mm. I do have one more idea.

[ Sighs ] If she’ll accept, I would like summer to be my matron of honor.

Jack: Summer? You’re certain?

Diane: Yeah, our family means everything to me, jack, and I want our wedding to reflect that. And since phyllis pulled this horrible stunt, summer’s been– well, she’s been lost to us. I want her to know that she’s important, that she’s loved, and I want our wedding day to prove that phyllis has no power over our family.

Kyle: If you’re so damn remorseful, and want to make amends, and do the right thing, turn yourself in!

Summer: Kyle, that isn’t the answer.

Phyllis: No, it’s okay, summer. I know how kyle feels.

Kyle: No, you have no idea how I feel.

Phyllis: You’re right, you’re right, I have no idea how you feel. [ Sighs ] I should be punished for what I did. I realize that. I will accept punishment, but please, kyle, no police. No police, not until I clear my name.

Kyle: And there it is. You just made it about saving your own ass.

Summer: Kyle, please.

Phyllis: That’s okay. I know I was wrong, and I am so sorry. In a million ways, I am sorry. But that’s why I’m back. To do the right thing, kyle. Just like your mom did. I’m here to take responsibility, and have accountability. And I’m gonna start by admitting that I resented your mother.

Kyle: Oh, that’s an understatement.

Phyllis: I did. Because she had everything I wanted. She had a family, she had a son who loved her. And my kids wanted nothing to do with me. And I was alone. I was completely alone. And then, jeremy stark started whispering in my ear, and I tried to push him away, but he kept coming back. And I am ashamed to say that I wanted your mother hurt. And so I gave in to jeremy’s plan.

Kyle: So, you’re a victim?

Phyllis: Yeah. Just like your mom. Because jeremy took advantage of your mom when she was weak and vulnerable, just like he did me. But then, I realized…

[ Sighs ] …I was in too deep, and the only way to save myself… was by– was by hurting jeremy.

Kyle: By killing him.

Phyllis: Yes. But it wasn’t murder, kyle. It was self-defense.

Kyle: Your word against a dead man’s?

Phyllis: But it’s true. It was self-defense, and that’s why I need more time. I need to find a way to clear my name. Kyle, please. [ Gasping ] For my family, my life. I mean, it’s in your hands right now. Hey, dad. I got an a on my book report.

Kyle: How do you plan to clear your name? And how do you expect to stay hidden? Because the gcac isn’t exactly in the middle of nowhere.

Phyllis: Hey, listen, it wasn’t the smartest thing to do, but I couldn’t stay away. Um… I couldn’t be away from my babies, so…

[ Phyllis sighs ] You know the idea that– that daniel is just on another floor, and– and that, you know, summer might come here to have a meal at the restaurant, it just– it gave me comfort.

Summer: Kyle, I can’t lose my mom again. I know that you understand how that feels.

Phyllis: Hey, um… let’s look at this, um, rationally.

Kyle: Rational? You?

Phyllis: You remember when your mother came back, right? Back from the dead? And you were so angry at her. Like you are at me right now. And it took some time, kyle, but you forgave her, and the two of you have built this amazing relationship, and, oh, my gosh, it’s so beautiful to watch. It truly is. And all I’m asking for is just time.

Kyle: No, it’s totally different.

Phyllis: How’s it different? Uh, well, I mean, your mom was gone for years and years, so, in that sense, yeah, ’cause, for me, it’s just been A… but these are the similarities. Your mother was unhappy and the idea of a brand new life seemed very, very appealing and I completely understand that. But we couldn’t be away from our babies, so we had to come back. And you see, that is the same. You see that, right?

[ Chuckles ] Kyle, I need time.

Kyle: No.

Phyllis: I will make this right, I just–

Kyle: No, no, no. Stop. Stop. I watched summer cry herself to sleep. I watched her retreat into her grief to a point I didn’t know if she could ever return. You did that. And then you magically reappear with all your tears and your victimhood and your apologies, and you expect summer to risk it all to help you avoid a punishment you deserve.

Phyllis: I would never put my daughter in harm’s way.

Kyle: It has already happened. I feel guilty even being in this room. It makes us all complicit. And you don’t even give a damn because all you think about is yourself.

Phyllis: That’s not true.

Kyle: Hmm? Aiding and abetting. Obstruction of justice. Collusion. We could all go to jail for being in this room, and then what happens to harrison? Have either of you thought about that?

Nikki: It’s late, is everything all right? Is faith home?

Sharon: Uh, yeah, she’s upstairs asleep, hopefully.

Victor: So, what is going on?

Nick: It’s cameron kirsten.

Nikki: What about him?

Sharon: He’s back in genoa city.

Nikki: What?

Victor: They let that slimeball out of prison?

Nick: Yeah. He’s definitely here.

Nikki: Oh, no!

Sharon: For a few weeks now I’ve been receiving these mysterious gifts. Um, a champagne bottle that apparently has blood on it, uh, a postcard from denver, colorado, and then a cigar box with a matchbook inside from the southside hotel, and that was delivered here despite security.

Victor: But have you seen him?

Sharon: Yes. Tonight at the coffeehouse, nick was helping me close up. Mostly he just taunted us and then he left, but the scary thing is, he approached faith when she was in chancellor park and pretended to be an old friend.

Victor: Have you called the cops?

Nick: Yeah. We brought chance in on this. He, uh– he told us what cameron’s been up to. Apparently, he got out of prison, moved out to la. He got a new girlfriend, one that looks eerily similar to sharon. He then beat her up, ended up back in prison, did more time, but now he’s out again. Back to playing his old sick mind games.

Sharon: Chance has the police looking for cameron, but so far, nothing.

Nikki: Maybe we should put additional guards at the gate and a patrol around the perimeter?

Victor: That’ll be done before we get back to the house. This is unbelievable.

Nikki: Well, I would feel much more comfortable if sharon and faith stayed at our house for the night.

Sharon: Oh, that is so nice of you. Thank you. That’s really up to faith. She can be a little bit stubborn, but thank you so much for the offer.

Victor: I promise you, I’ll do everything I can to keep you safe, okay? Join me in the

“The young and the restless” will continue.

Summer: No, I– I wouldn’t do anything to hurt harrison ever.

Kyle: No, no, no, it has already happened. If this goes on any longer and the cops catch you, how do we explain mommy’s in jail?

> Summer: It’s not fair!

Kyle: It’s the reality, summer.

Summer: Kyle, we get it. My mom has made huge mistakes. I know. And she’s willing to accept the consequences, but she deserves a fighting chance. Kyle, if we don’t help her find a way to clear her of killing stark, then she’s gonna be at the mercy of christine, and that’s not justice!

Kyle: Maybe she should have thought about the consequences before she framed my mother for murder, killed stark, dragged you into this mess. I will never forgive you for this.

Phyllis: Kyle, I’m gonna make this right. I swear to you. I swear to you, I’m gonna make this right. I just need time, just a little bit of time, and only you can give that to me.

Kyle: Oh, you are relentless.

Summer: Please. Kyle, please.

Kyle: No cops… for now.

[ Summer sighs ]

Phyllis: Okay, uh, go. Go ahead.

[ Daniel whistles sharply ]

Daniel: Not what you had planned, huh?

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] No. Not at all.

Jack: You know I love summer and I would like nothing more than to see her stand up for you, but I– I don’t think she will accept and I don’t want to see you get your feelings hurt.

Diane: Well, I have to at least try. Just like I have been trying with her.

Jack: I know, I know.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Okay, so when you asked me to marry you at the cabin, I kind of– kind of had a little day dream about what our wedding day would look like.

Jack: Uh-huh.

Diane: And that included having summer accept me as part of her family. And I’m not ready to give up on that. I have my life back, jack, and I want to do what my heart says is right. And that includes being there for summer.

Jack: And I say, by all means, follow your heart.

Diane: You know what else my heart is saying?

Jack: No, what?

Diane: That it’s time to go home and make love to my husband-to-be.

Jack: I like that idea. In fact, I wish that had been my idea.

[ Diane chuckles ]

Ashley: I gotta tell you, it’s kind of strange that you’re so laser-focused on getting married.

Tucker: Hmm. I just– I want… validation. Affirmation of… I want the ring on my finger also to– to say to the world, “ladies, I’m spoken for. I am out of circulation.”

Ashley: Oh, that ring really stopped you from circulating before, didn’t it?

Tucker: Yeah, I know. I know what it’s like to lose you now so I’m not gonna let that happen. And when you set the date, I’ll know you’re finally ready to let me into your life, and when you say the vows, they’ll come from your heart, and they will be forever.

Ashley: Hmm. Well, then. You think you know me so well.

Tucker: I do know you so well. You wanna know the kicker? Not only will marrying you be a dream come true for me, but it will give me the legal maneuverability to take over jabot. Totally throw jack and diane off their game. If you had a bladder accident today,

Phyllis: How you doing? Really?

Daniel: [ Laughs ] You know, kyle just tore out of here, he might be ready to set a match to your future, and you’re worried about me?

Phyllis: Well, of course I’m worried about you. I’m a mom, that’s what we do, we worry, all the time.

[ Laughs nervously] I’m a mom, even though you think that I am a vindictive psychopath most of the time.

[ Daniel laughs ]

Daniel: You know, when I saw you on the floor at the gala, when stark said that the two of you were married, I– you know I attacked the guy, right?

[ Phyllis chuckles ] I hated myself, because of all the things that were left unsaid between the two of us, and I– I hated the world because you weren’t in it anymore. But you were. You were there. You were there at your memorial and you saw me in pain, you saw me grieving, and you just– you just let me feel that.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Um… I did. And I’m sorry. I’m lucky you’re talking to me. I know that. And I know I put you through pain– it kills me. But I’ll let you talk about it as long as you want, even if it takes years.

Daniel: You know I love you, mom. And I’m so glad that you’re back, but forgiving you? I can’t believe that you would do the things you did to your own children.

[ Door slamming ]

Summer: That was a shock, right? Seeing my mom like that?

Kyle: You didn’t seem shocked.

Summer: I don’t understand.

Kyle: You came face to face for the first time with the mother you mourned for months and you were so calm. You were rational. Might sound crazy, but it’s almost as if you were more surprised to see me than phyllis.

Summer: That does sound crazy.

Kyle: Yeah? Because I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the first time you’d seen phyllis, was it? How long have you known phyllis was alive?

Victor: I want security outside this door 24/7, patrolling the perimeter of the ranch at all times. Clear? Thank you.

Sharon: Thank you so much, victor.

Nick: I talked to your head of security. They’ve got an entire team tracking cameron’s whereabouts. Hopefully, they hear something soon.

Victor: Sometimes I’ve the feeling that our security is more effective than the cops are.

Nick: That is exactly what I’m counting on.

Victor: How’s faith?

Nikki: Well, sharon, you were right. She wouldn’t budge. When I asked her to sleep up at the main house tonight, she said nobody is going to scare her out of her own home.

Nick: That’s my girl. As stubborn as her grandpa.

Nikki: Well, I guess if a guard is here, I can live with that.

Victor: Yes. It’s all taken care of, okay?

Sharon: Thank you so much, victor. I really do feel a lot better just knowing that we are actively doing something to protect faith and to find cameron.

Victor: Sharon, I want you and faith to get some sleep now. I will make certain that someone is watching this house at all times, all right?

[ Nick sighs ]

[ Door creaks open]

[ Bag rustling ] Somedays, I cover up because of my moderate

Phyllis: Well, I will tell you something. Um… I don’t really understand… why I do some of the things I do myself. I do know that I hurt the two people that I love most in the world… and I put myself in my own personal hell, you know?

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, you kind of dragged us along with you.

Phyllis: And I’m gonna make it up to you. I just can’t do it in a prison cell. I can’t go to prison. Daniel, I can’t go. I can’t go. But I am done running. I will never run again, and I will never, ever be separated from my family again. Do you understand? Do you believe me?

[ Door clicks open ]

Kyle: Well?

Summer: Kyle, I don’t know what you’re talking–

[ Jack and diane chattering ]

Jack: Oh. Hi, there.

Kyle: Hi.

Diane: Hi. Uh, gosh, summer, I know this must be hard for you, watching us celebrate my freedom when your mother is out there somewhere, and I’m– I’m sure you’re really worried about her. But I have a feeling everything will work out for phyllis. She’ll come back, she’ll get the support she needs for whatever’s ahead, and she should. For you and daniel. And I’m– I’m just so glad that you have kyle to lean on, because as long as you continue to keep letting each other in, love and trust can move mountains.

Jack: That is absolutely true.

Diane: Yeah.

[ Door clicks open ]

[ Ashley and tucker laughing ]

Ashley: Oh, this is fantastic, you’re all here!

Tucker: Hey!

Jack: Uh, we were just headed up.

Ashley: Oh, no, no, no, no. Please just stay for a second.

Jack: You know what, it– it’s kinda late–

Tucker: No, no, no, no, it’s– it’s not too late because we have to celebrate. We have to toast to the fact that this– this miracle of a woman has decided to marry me yet again!

Ashley: [ Cheering ] Yay!

Tucker: And as soon as humanly possible.

Ashley: Ooh, okay. Mm. Mm. Mm.

Tucker: Yeah.

Sharon: Hey, whatever happened to the tea you were gonna make me?

Nick: I’ll do it right now.

Sharon: No, no, I’m– I’m just kidding. Really, all I want is to just tuck myself in bed.

Nick: I don’t know how you can be so calm, I mean, just knowing cameron’s out there is making my skin crawl.

Sharon: Well, I just keep telling myself that we can handle this, you know? We know him, we know he’s dangerous, diabolical, we know he’s not afraid of going back to prison. And we have got victor’s entire security team and the police on our side. He doesn’t stand a chance.

[ Phone pinging ] What is it?

Nick: It’s from my dad. One of his security team was found tied up, drugged, and stuffed into a closet at newman tower.

Sharon: Oh, no.

Nick: And his uniform was missing.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Brook Lynn: You want some? Wow. It’s delicious. What flavor is it? I could care less. You’re special. Once-in-a-lifetime. And the thought of losing you, it — it scares me because… ’cause I’m in love with you, joss. So now it’s my turn to ask… is this too much for you?

[ Scoffs lightly ]

[ Giggles ]

Built our love and we built this house from the ground up thirty seconds went by before I could recognize we went down we went down with our heads down with our heads down we went down we went down to the ground oh, we tried, oh [ Vocalizing ] Finally. Esme will be held accountable for what she did to us. And once she’s charged, you should have no problem getting custody of your baby brother. Yeah. Except ace went with esme to spring ridge. And who’s to say that that’s not going to happen again? First of all, pentonville is on a whole other level of what’s appropriate for a baby. And, second, ace isn’t fresh out of the hospital this time around. He’s settled into your grandmother’s place. Diane can argue that it isn’t best to disrupt his life. And she would be right. I just never thought I’d be grateful for your uncle victor. But he really came through for you, spencer, uncovered evidence that the pcpd missed. Okay. What — what are we waiting for? Let’s go to the pcpd! No, I’m sorry — I’m sorry, trina. Uh… you can’t do that. You’re too late. Any connections I had to the jeromes or the family business died twice — once with my father and then again with my brother julian. We were impressed by your pedigree. The fact that you’re a jerome certainly did get our attention. Great. Well, take your request down route 31 to pentonville and talk to my sister olivia. Alas, olivia jerome can’t help me. Okay, so, mason gets off on playing mind games with people ’cause he’s never really figured out what to do with his life. I, on the other hand, have rounds coming up, so maybe we could move this along. Mason, just please, just — just tell us what it is that you want. When I refer to ava’s family, I’m not talking about the jeromes… or even the cassadines, what’s left of them. I’m talking about the father of your daughter, ava. The biggest value you hold for us… is your connection to sonny corinthos. Margarita on the rocks. No salt. I hope you find what you’re searching for here, curtis. And I hope you and portia can be happy, whether it’s together or apart. And you? I have to truly let go. Finally. Two years was too long to put my life on hold. I can’t wait a minute more. The fact that this footage exists is dangerous for your father. Have you shown this to anyone else? Yeah. Willow’s seen it.

[ Breathes deeply ] Willow knows that you’re working against your father? I only showed her recently. What did she say?

[ Scoffs ] Well, she asked me to get rid of the footage. She’s right, michael. You have to destroy this flash drive.


Why are you looking at me like that? Like what? Like that. It’s the only way I know how to look at you. Do you want me to stop? Don’t you dare. So how was your day? It was great.

[ Chuckles ] Well, what’s new in detective land? Actually, we caught the guy that was robbing all the shops on charles street. That must have felt good. It really did.

[ Chuckles ] I am gonna go get an other beer. Do you want anything? Everything I want is right here. Tracy: Whew! How sweet! Would you run and get me a singapore sling?

[ Indistinct conversations ] I’m finished with mr. Han. When’s my next appointment? Ten minutes.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

[ Sighs ] I haven’t run the clinic in so long. I’m not used to this many walk-ins. Man: Oh, a doctor’s work is never done! Zeke! Oh, my gosh! Hey. Good to see you! How are you? Ohh! Ow! What is — is that any way to greet your little brother? What are you doing in port charles?! And why didn’t you tell me that you were coming? Why can’t we go to the pcpd?

[ Chuckling ] No, I only meant that I’ll go. You don’t have to be involved. That’s a joke, right? Not only was I esme’s original target, but I was here when you opened this thing! I’m in it, spencer! Yes, yes, yes. But the police do not have to know that, trina. All I’m saying is that I’ll take care of this. You’re acting shady.

[Chuckling] No, I’m not. Yes, you are. No, I’m not. Yes, you are. Why would you shut me out on this, of all things?! Because if the police ask you where this evidence came from, you’re gonna tell them the truth. Did you mean it? That I’m in love with you? Yes.

[ Chuckles ] You probably noticed that I didn’t say it back. I don’t care. I mean, I care, obviously. Mm. Mm-hmm. But… I didn’t tell you that I love you because I needed a response. I told you because I just — I just wanted you to know how I feel. You don’t have to say anything, joss. I know. But I want to. The only way to ensure this footage can’t be used against sonny is to make sure it doesn’t exist. Mom, this footage is a way for you to stay out of prison without having to testify against dad. That’s just semantics, michael. I won’t have to turn against your father in public, but he’ll be behind bars because of me. And what about josslyn? What about josslyn? Dex works for sonny. Any government investigation lands dex in prison right next to him! You have — you have an issue with that? Josslyn would have an issue with that. If dex goes to prison, josslyn’s gonna be devastated! Look, I-I know that you guys are butting heads right now, but I can’t imagine you want that for your sister.

[ Sighs ] Dex will come out of it okay. How can you say that? He just would. What’s going on, michael? What do you know that I don’t know?


Brook lynn. I’m surprised to see you here. Why? Where’s my drink? Granny. G-grandmother. It is coming right up. Singapore sling. Copy that. Would you like anything? Just for you to come right back. What the hell are you doing? Commissioner! Hi. Detective. Enjoying a rare afternoon off? Yes. Are you? Yeah. Hey. Can I get another, uh, el rey sol and a singapore sling, please? Thanks. You sure you’re okay? Look, I don’t know what your problem is — the problem is, how can you be my eyes and ears at deception if you’re here sunning yourself by the pool? “A,” it’s after 5:00. And, “b,” it’s june. Haven’t you heard of summer? Ohh! Your boss has cut back on office hours in the summertime. They give leeway. And maxie, sasha, and lucy actually care that their employees are happy. What kind of business plan is that? Okay. That’s enough. Why are you so interested in deception? Obviously I’d tell the police the truth. Are you saying you wouldn’t? I think that we should downplay where the evidence came from, yeah. Why? And what would you even say? I don’t know, which is exactly why we can’t go to the cops right now because I need time to think. Okay. This makes no sense. The police are going to be be suspicious of anything that is connected to victor cassadine, including and especially evidence that they themselves failed to uncover during all that time that they were investigating. Trina — I mean, yes, they are going to be a little embarrassed. A little embarrassed?! But that’s no reason to lie about it! Trina, I’m not talking about this right now. Spencer, what is wrong with you? Nothing! Nothing is wrong with me! Obviously you know something I don’T. Trina, the only thing that I know is that involving my uncle in this is going to complicate things significantly. They’re gonna hold this evidence under a microscope.

[ Scoffs ] And?! Wouldn’t they do that anyway?! Okay. What happens when esme’s lawyer, uh, decides to use victor’s crimes to discredit this evidence or get it thrown out entirely? She’s gonna walk. We get one shot at this, trina. If she’s found not guilty, we can’t try her again for the same crime. I don’t buy a word you’re saying. Tell me what you’re keeping from me… or I’m out. I’m not hesitating because I’m unsure of how I feel about you. Just telling someone I love them makes me nervous ’cause I’ve only said that twice. And I really meant it both times, but neither love lasted. With cam, we just outgrew each other. And with oscar… who knows? We — we probably would have, too. You weren’t given the chance to find out. I mean, we both knew that he was dying when we said, “I love you.” That is incredibly brave, to open your heart like that, knowing that there was no future for you two. Yeah. I don’t regret it. What I had with oscar was really special and… sorry. This is so weird that I’m talking about that right now. No, no, I want you to feel like you can tell me anything. That goes both ways. And I know that I shouldn’t let my past come between us. That’s not how I see it. We are both who we are because of our experiences. I am grateful for your past, josslyn. I’m grateful for you. Josslyn told me that dex had a plan, that he wasn’t gonna be working for sonny forever. And I just thought it was wishful thinking, but josslyn was adamant that dex didn’t want to be part of the business. Yeah, mom — and here you are armed with footage of sonny trafficking illegal weapons. And, shockingly, it won’t implicate dex. The night dex was shot, he was found on the quartermaine grounds. He was there to see you. Dex is working for you.

[ Sighs ]


S business. No, but you’re in a good position to find out. You co-parent your daughter, avery, successfully, and you’re on good terms with his fiancée, nina reeves. Alright. This is how that would go. “Heya, sonny. How’s your business?” “What’s it to you, ava? Butt out.” Okay, y-you’re essentially asking ava to hang a target on her own back. We’re only asking her to maintain a rapport with her bestie and baby daddy. The information will come. And somehow I don’t think that would be the end of it. Oh, you’re right. There’s a small task we need now, but then you’ll be perfectly placed to receive your marching orders. I don’t take orders. Not from you, not from anybody. There’s a lot of dangerous “anybodies” in the world. I haven’t seen anything to back up your threats, so how do I know this great and powerful oz isn’t some hillbilly behind a curtain? You don’t know. But austin does. Don’t you, cuz? I’ve had enough of this. A-ava, hold on. Just, um… please just — you need to hear him out. I got tired of you telling me that everything was fine, so I decided to come see for myself.

[ Chuckles ] Portia:

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I wasn’t more forthcoming. But, honestly, I didn’t want to face you. I don’t want you to see the mess I’ve made with my life. Because you’re a fool. Okay, easy. No. I mean, come on. On what planet did you think I would judge you? You’re my sister. I love you. No matter what? No matter what. Unless you switch from 49ers fan to bills fan. Then all bets are off. I actually root for the patriots now. Yeah. Bye. No, I’m kidding!

[ Laughs ] Hey. You better be.

[ Both laugh ] Oh, my goodness. Thank you. Thank you for coming all this way and… for teasing me, making me feel normal again. Everything is normal. Between us anyway. Like, what’s — how are things with trina? They’re improving, I guess. Yeah? Slowly but surely.

[ Sighs ] But I’m determined to give her space, you know, even though the distance is — is killing me. I swear, zeke, the whole thing with spencer and getting caught up in the mess with the cassadines… ah. I’ve never been so terrified in my life. I knew that spencer kid was trouble when I met him at the reception. Yeah, he’s a real vibe, right? That’s one way of putting it. Spencer has caused trina nothing but pain. Then I don’t get it. Like, why is she with him? Well, it’s my fault. No. Come on. Come on. Not fully, but the rift between trina and me certainly didn’t help. As in, it made her turn to spencer? And cling to him even tighter. But now… uh-oh. What are you planning? Yeah, yeah. You are here. Mm-hmm. Trina’s here. Mm-hmm. Maybe you can talk some sense into her. You promised you would never lie to me again! I haven’t! You’re keeping something from me. I want nothing to do with that kind of relationship! I really should have come here alone. Oh, so that it’d be easier to keep me in the dark? No, that’s not what I’m saying! God! I’m bad at this. Okay. Here. Let me lay it out for you. Tell me the truth right now… or I’m gone. I’m not playing with you, spencer! My uncle may have falsified this evidence. “May have falsified.” Probably falsified. In fact, I would be shocked if he didn’t falsify it. Okay. Tell me — tell me why you think that. Because a few months ago, I asked him for help getting custody of ace. What kind of help? He implied that he was going to kill esme. And I said no because I want esme out of ace’s life, not dead. That’s insane. Uh — so, what he suggested or, rather, said… was that he was going to “find” new evidence. So all this evidence is definitely fake. Most likely, yeah.

[ Scoffs ] Which is why — hey. Which is why I need to be the one who brings it in. Spencer! You are not bringing this “evidence” anywhere! Yes. Yes, dex is my mole in sonny’s organization. How long? From the beginning. I planted him. So dex is only working for sonny — to gather evidence against him. Dex, he’s not — he’s not a criminal. He’s ex-military. Oh, my god. I hired him from a private security company.

[ Sighs ] Does josslyn know? Well, not at first. When they first met, josslyn just thought he was one of sonny’s guys. I told him to stay away from her. He’s a great listener. Yeah. You know your sister. She’s not gonna give up on something. Yeah, then at some point, without consulting me, he told josslyn the truth. Does she know about the footage? Yeah. That’s what we were arguing about at the hospital. Josslyn helped me realize that this footage will give you the best deal with the feds.

[ Scoffs ] No!Mom, the most important thing is keeping you out of prison. Listen to me! I will not sacrifice your father to save myself! Then do it to save your family.


I’m fine. Are you sure? Just decompressing. That’s all. Yeah, so was I — until brook lynn’s grandmother showed up. You know, you never did come out and tell me why you want me working at deception. Yes, I did. I want information on the patent for the deceptor. That’s it? And everything else you know about the new product line coming out. There’s a new product line? Cool! Oh. [ Scoffs ] You’re utterly useless!

[ Scoffs ] We know that esme is guilty. She filmed that video of joss and cam. She framed you. She nearly killed that oz guy. Does it really matter how she’s brought to justice, trina? Hold on. Let me think about it. Yes! If you really feel that way, then go. I mean it. I mean it. You forget everything that you saw here. I’ll be the one to take this on. Okay? You people have no idea the strides that sonny and I have made to be able to co-parent our daughter successfully! And I’m not gonna blow that just to help with whatever grand ambitions your cousin and his puppet master have in mind! You get her under control. Okay — hey! Excuse me! Okay! Just like — let’s take a second, alright? Ava, please, I just need you to just hear him out. That’s all. Why? You just said it yourself — that — that crossing sonny could put me at risk. Yeah, but you’re more at risk if you don’t do what they’re asking. Please. I’m — I’m just trying to help you out. You got to trust me on this one. I’m looking out for you. Okay, so, you said that you have something that we both need to do. So far, it sounds like it’s only me. Austin’s job is to keep you on task.

[ Chuckles ] Lucky you. Oh. Even if I were to agree, you have no idea the history between sonny and me. We know all about it. It’s a tall order. I know. But we have faith in you. Start by cultivating a greater role in his life. To what end? Let’s just take it step-by-step, shall we? Get him to confide in you. He won’T. Then you make him… and bring back anything you hear about his association with a company named pikeman.

[ Sighs ] Oh, my god. Have you seen my shoe? Got it. Oh. Great. Thank you. You know, I did offer to leave town with you. Yeah, I remember. The fact that you were willing to do that… and I still would. If it was our only option. Look, joss, we’ve talked about this. I know. I don’t want you to have to leave your family and your friends and your career. I know. And I don’t want that either. But I would. If it meant being with you. We have been through a lot together, huh? More than most couples in their entire life. Who are you? What? What’s your name? You know mine. What’s yours? Dex: Dex heller. Who’s the hottie?

Time flies by in a moment with you are you gonna help me or not?

Every second you’re near oh! Jossly n:Sonny wrecks people… and I don’t want you to be one of those people. You know me, can’t help but get involved. Yeah, well… it’s nice to know that there’s still decent people in the world. Never really got the chance to thank you for rescuing me, did I? Oh, my god. You’re bleeding. I don’t want you involved in this, joss. It’s a little late for that. I know it’s too late, and I-I know I messed up, but the less you know, the better.

I can’t help falling in ’cause every time we laugh, every time we cry every time I look in your eyes I’ve seen you in action, I know you’re tough in a crisis, but it is okay to be scared. I’m fine. No, you’re not. Okay? And that is okay. Just let go, joss. If there’s anywhere you’re safe, it’s with me. You are the wish that fell from the stars here. When my tears were like coins in a well you know… if I want you to take your clothes off, you’ll know. Yeah? How so? Finally, I can tell and all I ever wanted to feel is rushing through me right now ’cause I am lost in the moment josslyn: What are you thinking? How much I like waking up next to you. And I can’t help falling in I don’t want to ask for too much too soon, but… my feelings for you are not casual at all. I’ve never felt like this before. All over again and I don’t want it to stop. Look. I don’t want anything to come between us. Not sonny. Not the feds. Not my own fears. Dex… yes? I love you.


Pikeman? What kind of business is that? No more questions. If you need to know more, I’ll tell you. Just keep your ears open. Anything you hear, report it to austin. Austin will contact me. And I know that austin will keep you on task for both your sakes. And, ava, I know you think I’m, like, an ignorant hayseed, but remember I know a lot of things many people don’t, like where nikolas cassadine really is. And his mother, the pcpd, and his son would be very interested to hear from me. You’ve made your point. Yeah, I really think it’s time for — yeah. Sure. I would hate to outstay my welcome. One thing. If either of you is thinking of doling out the same fate that befell ava’s husband, I’m not the one in charge. So, as austin well knows, you disappear me, you’ll end up with much more heat than you could ever handle.

[ Door opens ] Yes, I will help you with trina in any way I can. Oh, good! [ Laughs ] We can talk about it when we get home, okay? Cool. Cool. And I’m staying at the metro court, by the way. No. No, no. You’re not. Yes. Yes. No! Zeke! Yes, I am. No, no, no, no. Y-you got enough on your plate, and I’m doing some business down in port charles with no end date. I don’t want to overstay my welcome. First off, that’s impossible. And, second, you have a client in new york? Yeah. Random, I know. So exciting! But, yes. When I heard where he was located, I got excited and I jumped on it. Any excuse to see you and trina. Aww. Starting tonight, hopefully. Will the two of you join me for dinner? Sorry to interrupt, dr. Robinson. Your next patient is waiting in the exam room. Oh. Thank you. Ohh. Ah. I should have known better than to try and surprise a doctor. Um, how about lunch tomorrow? Perfect. Okay. And maybe you can tell trina that I’m in town. You’re playing peacemaker already. I’m so grateful. Annoyed? No! I’m grateful. Okay. Okay. Good. And bottom line — neither you nor trina will be happy until the relationship gets repaired. It feels so good to have someone on my side. Always. Come on. Aww. I got you, sis. Spencer, I just — I-I can’t just unsee this. Sure you can. Just hear me out. I know how tempting it is to use this evidence. I really do. We don’t know for sure that the evidence is fake. I don’t want esme raising ace, either. But this isn’t the way. I-it’s just wrong! Oh, and also illegal. If the cops discover that any of this evidence isn’t legit… you’re the one that’s going to go to prison. Then what’s gonna happen to ace? Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. That’s gonna be happening a lot, fyi. Okay. Noted. So we agree that… we’re going to destroy all this evidence? Yes. Yes, yes. Of course.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Breathes sharply ] I forgot I have to meet my dad for dinner. Taggert. I knew what you meant. I don’t think I’m ready to call curtis “dad” yet. What? You said “yet.” Does that mean… maybe someday? Mom, you’re the glue that holds this family together! Michael — what about donna? Donna — it’s gonna kill me to be away from her, but she will be okay. Without her mother? She’ll have sonny! Come on. You and I both know that’s not the same thing. And then there’s wiley. There’s amelia. They need their grandmother. I mean, josslyn needs you.

I need you. You’re not playing fair, michael. Maybe not. Maybe not. But everything I’m saying is true. Mom, for all of our sakes, just please give this footage to the us attorney’s office.


I’m taking things with curtis one step at a time. I think that’s a good plan. It helps that my dad is so supportive. You want to know what else I think? What? I think that everything is going to work out. You know what? I’m starting to believe so, too. Get out of here. Excuse me? I’ll, uh, get rid of the evidence and give the key back to the bank.

[ Sighs ] Okay. I’ll see you later? Oh, definitely.

[ Chuckles ] Were you just going along with mason to get him to leave? Ava. Do you really think that I would entertain… please, I am begging you — …spying on sonny corinthos for that cretin? Don’t push mason. Okay? He’s a very dangerous guy. I’ve dealt with a lot worse than him. Yeah, but he’s just the messenger. He’s not the person in charge. Clearly you know who is. I just — I think it would be better, you know, if — if we just dealt with mason on this one. Just — just —

[ Chuckles ] I want to know. Tell me. Who is this big bad boss calling the shots? Ava, stop. Stop. Stop! Sorry. Ava, I’m — I’m serious. You already know too much.

[ Door closes ] Just in case.

[ Brook lynn sighs ] Brook lynn, we have been over this. Yes, you’ve told me you want me working at deception. What you haven’t told me is why. It’s clearly not because you have an interest in makeup or fashion, for that matter. I’m not gonna dignify that with a response. -Of course you’re not. -One singapore sling. What she means to say is “thank you.” I hope you’re off duty. Oh. I am. Chase actually caught those guys who broke into logan’s today. That’s nice. Would you get me some pté? Oh, uh, they actually only serve that in the main dining room. And? Oh. Okay. Uh…bye. Man: Is this seat taken? It’s all yours. And for the record… I won’t be very good company. Think I’ll take my chances. You don’t have to say it just because I did. I know. But it’s true. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you, too.

[ Chuckles ] I want you in my life. I’m here. We need to keep it that way. We will. How? I don’t know. But we’ll figure it out together. Okay. Together. If I take that flash drive to the us attorney, which proves that sonny violated the national security act, he will go to federal prison for the rest of his life. Then what? What happens here in port charles? What happens to sonny’s territory? There is no jason to step in. I certainly can’t do it. Is there anyone else in sonny’s organization who can take over? No. No. So it leaves a vacuum, michael, and other players will rush in — the wu’s and everyone else — and they’re all gonna want to prove that sonny’s finished, that he no longer has power, including power to protect his family. If sonny goes to prison, we all become targets, especially me because I know most about the business. You’re making a lot of assumptions here. Oh, my god! Michael! This is exactly what happened two years ago when sonny disappeared! Jason and I risked our lives to keep the organization together! And if we hadn’t done that, someone else would have taken over and they would have killed us. Look at me! Every single one of us! With sonny in prison, we’re all vulnerable, and I’m not gonna let that happen. Yeah, mom. I don’t see it that way. I see this as your best chance to stay out of prison, to save yourself! You want your father to go to prison?

[ Stammers ] Do you?!

[ Voice breaking ] I know he has disappointed you, michael. He’s disappointed me. So badly. But destroying him isn’t gonna heal us. And someone will die!

[ Sighing ] In case you change your mind. It’s encrypted, so it’s — keep it’s safe. It’s your choice what you want to do with it. And I’ll respect whatever decision you make. I love you. I love you.

[ Door opens and closes ]

Taylor: A back-stabbing traitor, me? Listen to me, brooke–

Brooke: You betrayed me. All this time, you pretended you wanted to be friends and bury the past.

Taylor: I did.

Brooke: All this time you were really just manipulating me. You were biding your time, waiting ’til I fully trusted you, just to stab me in the back. How could you? Really, how could you be so deceitful? Setting me up with deacon so that you– you could be with ridge.

Hollis: Alec just called, he’s not gonna be able to make his shift. His wife’s in labor. What do you want to do? Boss?

Deacon: What? What? Huh?

Hollis: I just said we’re down a waiter and you didn’t hear a word I said. What’s going on with you?

Deacon: I think I might have started something.

Ridge: Through all these years, you still haven’t lost your touch. These are amazing.

Eric: Thank you, my boy. I appreciate that. But that’s not the only reason I asked you in here. Like how are things with– with brooke and taylor? How’s that going?

Eric: You know how much I love having you staying at the house with me. You know that. I’m enjoying that.

Ridge: I’m enjoying it also.

Eric: Yeah, but I’m thinking that maybe it’s almost time for you to move on with your life–

Ridge: We had this conversation. It’s not all up to me–

Eric: I know. It’s all about this thing between brooke and taylor. I understand. So, what’s going on with that? Has anything changed?

Taylor: I think about

falling asleep in your arms

and waking up next to you.

I just miss the little things,

the simple things.

I miss you.

Ridge: Actually…

Eric: Act– actually what?

Ridge: One of the ladies came out and told me how she really feels.

Eric: Brooke.

Ridge: So close, taylor.

Hollis: You think you started something?

Deacon: Yeah, brooke was in here before.

Hollis: Yeah, I saw her head out.

Deacon: After I told her how I felt about her, again. I asked her if there was a chance that we could have a life together.

Hollis: Well– well what did she say?

Deacon: Don’t worry. She shot me down, nicely.

Hollis: Join the club.

Deacon: We’re getting t-shirts made.

Hollis: We should.

Deacon: I just don’t know why, I don’t know why I listened to her.

Hollis: To brooke?

Deacon: No, to taylor.

Taylor: There was a build-up of things that happened, brooke. And if you would hear me out, you would understand. Exactly why I—

Brooke: No, no, no no! Stop it! I don’t want to hear your excuse.

Taylor: Of course you don’T.

Brooke: I heard what you said to ridge. Damn it, taylor. God, I thought we were on a new path. I thought we were doing something different. Showing our children that rivalries can be overcome and something beautiful and wonderful and fulfilling can come out of that. Like our friendship. But obviously, I was wrong. You didn’t put any of that past you. All you were doing was biding your time, waiting for a chance to make a move on ridge.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Just admit it already. Admit it that you sent deacon in my direction so that it would clear your path to ridge.

Taylor: Hold on a second. Just– just, ho– [ Grunts ] Because you’ve been so honest and so transparent, right? Okay, I’ll do the same. You know what I simply, uh, pointed out that you and deacon share a history together. Something that maybe the two of you could consider.

Brooke: Oh, god, right. I don’t believe for a second that you were looking out for my best interest. You went to ridge behind my back. You went to him and you poured your heart out to win him back. You set me up with deacon so that it would clear your way to ridge. Hey! It’s your dry skin.

Eric: Taylor came to you. You didn’t encourage her in any way, did you?

Ridge: No, no, no, dad. I didn’t encourage her. They– they… said that their friendship was a priority and i wasn’t gonna interfere with that. Then taylor came to me out of the blue.

Eric: What exactly did she say to you?

Ridge: What didn’t she say? She– she said she misses our family and– and how proud she is of thomas and steffy. And she may have pitched the idea of her going to rome with us.

Eric: So she wants you back?

Hollis: Taylor? What does she have to do with this?

Deacon: Everything. I– look, a little while back, brooke and taylor, they’re in here. So, you know, I go over to the table and I start chit-chatting with them. You know, I’m being my usual devastatingly charming self. And taylor is just like watching me and brooke. You know, the easy way that we relate to each other, bonding over hope, but it wasn’t until brooke left that taylor started talking.

Hollis: About what?

Deacon: Just, you know, the– the bond that brooke and I have, hope, you know, our past love, how it’s always gonna connect us. I didn’t get it at first either. I didn’t get it at first until taylor said that I should go for brooke.

Taylor: Okay. Um, are you just gonna keep talking and talking or are you going to hear me out?

Brooke: Why should I? So you can justify what you’ve done?

Taylor: What I did, I did because… oh my god, I– I was– I was just trying to help.

Brooke: Help? Who, me, you or deacon? Because, you know, I spoke with him.

Taylor: Yes, I know that you spoke with him and… you– you misunderstood what I said to deacon.

Brooke: No, your intentions were crystal clear.

Taylor: I’m telling you, brooke, um, it’s not what you think, okay? Look… I value you.

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Taylor: And our friendship.

[ Brooke laughs ]

Brooke: That’s funny.

Taylor: Is it– is it funny? I– I– I, I would never do anything to intentionally jeopardize that.

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: I felt very hurt and very ruffled, I guess, whenever you– uh, you– you didn’t tell me about your concerns for your daughter. And you were making my son the villain in your story, still.

Brooke: What are you talking about? That had nothing to do with ridge–

Taylor: Oh no, wait for it. Because… see, I– I kept thinking if– if brooke is not being honest and transparent with me about this, what else is she hiding from me? And that has everything to do with ridge?

Brooke: Oh, wow. Okay. Um, this is crazy. I valued our friendship, taylor, but what you did, how you went to hollis to come after me and then you sent deacon in my direction. I mean, how– how? Oh, I don’t know how foolish I was to even listen to you.

Taylor: I was just trying to help. That’s all I was trying to do.

Brooke: You weren’t trying to help.

Taylor: Well–

Brooke: You were actually just trying to help yourself. You see, I let my guard down and I trusted you 100% and you took advantage of that. So, I don’t know why I actually trusted you. I mean, I never thought that my B.F.F. Would do something like this to hurt me and deceive me this way, but that is exactly what you did, taylor.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: No and it’s–

Taylor: Okay. All right, you’re– you’re gonna do this. All right. No, it’s– that’s not how it happened.

Brooke: I’ve been hurt by people before in the past. People that I trusted, but nothing felt quite like this. I thought that we were doing something different. I really did. I thought that we had a pact. We chose ourselves and we wanted to do better for our children, for our lives and I never ever imagined for one second that you would take our friendship and just toss it aside like it was garbage! My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Hollis: Taylor made her pitch and you– and you ran with it?

Deacon: I mean, you know, not at first. You know, deacon sharpe wasn’t born yesterday. I could see what she was up to.

Hollis: Yeah, but you still went along with it.

Deacon: I– I just, you know, I talked to brooke, I laid it out. Suffice it to say that we won’t be riding off into the sunset anytime soon.

Hollis: Sorry, boss.

Deacon: Thanks. I appreciate that.

Hollis: Me too.

Deacon: You know, but look, we will always be hope’s parents and brooke will always be in my life.

Hollis: Yeah. But you gotta wonder though, what got into taylor? I mean, first, she pushed me off onto brooke and now she’s pushing you onto brooke. But what’s that about?

Deacon: Oh, I’d say that’s easy. She wants ridge all to herself.

Eric: Son, you know how I feel about taylor. She’s given you beautiful children and a family of which you’re both very, very proud. But–

Ridge: Here it comes.

Eric: Taylor is not the love of your life, ridge. The love of your life is brooke logan and she always will be.

Brooke: Oh, god, taylor. Look, just– just be honest with me, okay? Just tell me, you want ridge. Just stop pretending for god’s sakes that you don’t, okay?

Taylor: Okay. Um, yeah, I– I want ridge. I do. You’re right. We deserve each other.

Brooke: And he and I don’t?

Taylor: You know, brooke, I– I– I don’t think you’re right for ridge, you know? I don’t think he’s right for you either. The two of you have caused each other so much pain over the years, you know. I don’t think you’re good for him. And, you know, I don’t think you ever have been.

Brooke: I honestly can’t believe this right now. I– I can’t believe this. I mean, I can’t believe those words are coming out of your mouth. We’re like– we’re right back where we started, taylor.

Taylor: You know what? Things are different now. They really arE. You, um, you have a chance at a life with someone other than ridge, remember?

Brooke: Who? Who? Hollis? The first guy that you tried to set me up with? Obviously, you had ulterior motives then too.

Taylor: Oh, god, hollis was just fun, brooke. You know that. Not to mention young, very attractive, and sexy. Those are your words. Now, when it comes to deacon, you guys, you have a history. You have hope.

Brooke: I don’t need a dating service.

Taylor: Yeah, maybe not. I was just– I was just trying to be a friend.

Brooke: Well, why don’t you just stop trying to sugarcoat things? You broke our pact, you destroyed our friendship… all because you want to be with ridge. (Buzz) are you guys telling secrets?

Ridge: All right. It’s time for me to get going. Got a press event I got put together, a preview. I’m going to rome. I don’t know if I told you–

Eric: Oh, yes. Yeah. Well. Keep me in the loop, will you? I’ve done rome a few times.

Ridge: Oh? I’m gonna stay in here and work. It’s quieter in here. You know, there’s too many people in my office all the time. And you, you and steffy behind my desk are one thing but katie and carter and– and hope and zende. If I ever catch charlie behind my desk, I’m gonna shoot him with his own water pistol. Anyway, I’m gonna be in here, all right? You need any help, here’s where I’ll be.

Ridge: I always need your help. That’s something you gotta remember. You are forrester creations. Everyone loves you, respects you. No one more than me.

Eric: Thanks for that. And thanks for being the son I can always be proud of. I don’t tell you that enough.

Ridge: You do, every day, in 100 different ways.

Eric: Come here.

Ridge: I love you.

Eric: I love you too, buddy. One of the only things I still want in this life is your happiness. And I think the one person who can bring that to you and to really fulfill your life, that’s brooke.

Deacon: I don’t know, hollis. Taylor says she’s acting in good faith. I mean…

Hollis: What? By pushing me and then you to brooke so that taylor could have a clear shot at ridge?

Deacon: I’m not even sure she was looking at it like that. I mean, do you really think taylor’s capable of being that calculating?

Hollis: I don’t know. I don’t know the lady that well.

Deacon: You know, come to think of it, neither do I. I mean, not really. The one thing that’s clear is that she’s hung up on her ex.

Hollis: Just like brooke.

Deacon: Yeah, they’ve got that in common. I mean, they’re more alike than they realize or want to admit. Unfortunately, now that brooke knows what taylor did, their friendship’s about to blow up.

Brooke: You think that I’m all wrong for ridge, but what about you? What about your behavior? What about thomas’s behavior?

Taylor: My behavior. Thomas’s behavioR. You mean when I was in a wedding gown? When ridge and I were almost married?

Brooke: Under false pretences. You could have gone to ridge and told him the truth, but you didn’t because you knew what it would cost you.

Taylor: You know, it was much more complicated than that.

Brooke: It was complicated for you because you knew what you stood to lose.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Brooke: You said ridge was all yours and only yours. I mean, my god, taylor, how sanctimonious is that? But you know what? That is team taylor, and I know what you think about me. I know what you think about my daughter. We are just the logan girls, just sluts from the valley.

Taylor: Those were stephanie’s words about you.

Brooke: Yeah, well, you feel the same way.

Taylor: You have had chance after chance with ridge over the years and each time you have let him down. He deserves to be with someone who’s not gonna upend his world every chance she gets. I mean, come on, the list of men goes on and on.

Brooke: Enough, taylor.

Taylor: No, only it was never enough, was it? Not for you. Really wasn’T. You know, come to think of it, you– you had a child with deacon while he was married to your daughter. Your daughter, brooke! That’s disgusting. Who– who does that? You don’t have any love inside of you. How could you possibly give it to ridge?

Brooke: We had an agreement. Do you know that?

Taylor: Uh, yeah, I do. Do you?

Brooke: We had a solemn vow.

Taylor: Yes, we did.

Brooke: And I trusted you, taylor, I trusted you and you just stabbed me in the back. You broke our friendship all because you wanted to get to ridge.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Brooke: How dare you? How dare you? You know what? I am gonna go to ridge and I’m gonna tell him exactly what you’ve done and tell him the kind of person that you really are. Everything about saint taylor.

Taylor: Uh, stop it, grow up, brooke. Grow up, stop it. Stay here and talk to me.

Brooke: Don’t lay your hands on me.

Taylor: Don’t lay your hands on me either.

Ridge: Hey, hey, easy, easy. What’s going on here? All right. All right.

Taylor: She’s being dramatic.

Brooke: She– she stabbed in the back, ridge.

Ridge: What?

Taylor: I did not stab you in the back.

Brooke: Yes, you did. You played me for a fool.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: You didn’t want to be friends with me, taylor. Not at all. You just used me. You used me to get to him. That’s what she wanted ridge. So, you know what? Our little pact is over.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, I did try to catch a few winks here and there, but the guy sitting next to me was a real chatter box. Yeah. No, actually I just, uh, walked in the door. Hey, how’s Bo doing? You too. Settled into that new rehab facility. Oh, that’s good. Good. And hope. Remember, if you need anything at all, you just let me know and I’ll take care of it, okay?

No, no. Don’t worry about Megan Hathaway. There’s no way she’s gonna find you. Okay? Uh, listen, I gotta run, but just know that Kayla and I are praying for Bo and we’re there with all of you in spirit. Okay? Okay, baby. I’ll talk to you soon. Love you too.

Well, look who’s here. Commander Michaels.

Well, it looks like it’s five o’clock somewhere and that somewhere is here. This, Megan, I know that you spent the last God note how many years off the grid and then in Statesville that a girl’s gotta take the edge off somehow. You wanna join me for a tip? Who love a celebratory drink? Two fingers neat, please.

And. What exactly are we celebrating? What is this all about? We just refer the servants didn’t. Over here.

Over here, well, plotting the demise of our dear brother ej.

Now you are darling.

I missed you.

Two. When did you get back? Oh, a little while ago. I looked all over for you, but I couldn’t find you. Where have you been? I found the office and they said you weren’t there. I, um, I left the office early to go to the hospital. The hospital, Nicole, is everything. All right?

So Nicole told you she’s pregnant and the child might be yours. Actually, Sloan did. It’s a long story, but Nicole just confirmed she’s at the hospital running a paternity test as we speak. Hey, we’re gonna find out. I’m the father. Everything is all right. Yes. But you were at the hospital. Why? I was giving Kayla a blood sample.

To follow up on the perimenopause treatment? No. Ej, I’m not entering into menopause. Oh, well then I, I don’t understand. How could Kayla make such an error? She didn’t. I lied to you. What? I, I, I didn’t miss my period because I’m going into menopause. I miss my period because. I am pregnant,

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

What are you doing here? Michaels? Is it all right if I come in?

Thank you. So listen, um, here’s no, no, no. Here’s the reason. You can save the explanation. Sean already told me that you were planning to follow us to Salem, so you could keep an eye on Megan Hathaway. Uh, yes, that’s true. So, well, the thing is, there are a whole lot of people already doing that job. John, me, you know, we’re PIs, we’re qualified to keep an eye on people.

So your help is not needed here. Just give me one more person that I don’t trust that I have to keep my eye on. If you really want to help you turn around and get outta Salem.

The demise of each. A Dara, well, not literally. Yeah, sorry to get your hopes up. Think of it more as a, uh, Consequential fall from Grace. Mm. So you too need our help in ousting, our brother from Dera Enterprises. I think that the reasonable question here is what’s in it for us. Well, we expected you to ask that, so we are in full agreement that you both will play major and noteworthy roles in the company’s future.

In fact, we have a couple of ideas we’d like to share. Oh,

well now it all makes sense. What? It makes sense why Nicole lied about there being a viral outbreak at the hospital on the 10th floor. Those cheek swabs were not for the virus they were to help determine paternity.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Hmm. How does Sloan find out? She saw Nicole’s prenatal vitamins. Apparently she dropped them when she ran into the Sloan at the hospital. Nicole begged her slow, not to say a word. I mean, she knew that Nicole and I,

Sloan was hoping the baby wasn’t mine. So she agreed to help Nicole get a DNA swab without me knowing about it. Hmm. Wasn’t Nicole ever gonna tell you the truth? She was kind of hoping that she would get the results of the paternity test before she said anything to EJ or me. So EJ doesn’t know that the Nicole’s pregnant As far as I know, ejs still in the dark.

Oh my God. Nicole, you are pregnant. Yes. Well, I, I, I, I don’t understand. Why wouldn’t you tell me that you’re having my,

because it’s not mine, is it?

You have every reason not to trust me. I know that. That’s why you were my first stop in Salem. Interesting choice for first stop. Well, Steve, I respect you. I do. But I’m not going anywhere. I’ve said my . I’ve helped you guys find Kate. I think I can be useful here. I mean, I’m from Salem. I went to Salem High.

This place is, it’s the closest thing I know to home. And we’re on the same side. Like we don’t, we don’t have to be friends, but I think we can put aside our differences work together to make sure Megan does not hurt hope again, can’t we?

So as you can see, once we vote EJ out, you’ll both take on very prominent roles at the company. Details are a little vague to me. Well, we want you to have the agency to choose whatever peaks your interest the most. You know, I’m just concerned that the um, 30 year employment gap on my resume. Might be of some concern to the board.

It smacks a bit of nepotism. No, even So didn’t you bring back four people from the dead? I mean, not a skillset everyone can brag about. No. Oh, I think I brought back a few more than that, which is precisely why we need both of you, your miracle workers. You too. Oh, so then it’s not because you need our votes.

Well, there is that too. But your determination in your ruthlessness, no, no bounds. You’re also very skilled at coloring outside the lines. Oh, I get it. So while you’re skimming through a chicken soup for the shareholder’s soul sheen, I’ll be doing the dirty work. No, that’s not what we’re saying at all.

Listen, take a look. Read the proposal, offer your input. We’ll see what happens. We’ll take it under advisement. All right, for killing me. Get you. Maybe we’ll see you ladies later for night cap. Oh, we’ll be here.

So what do you make of this?

Got a match? Is it Nicole? Is it my baby or Carrie?

I don’t know if it is or not,

because it might be Eric’s,

so first you don’t tell me that you slept with Eric during. Biscuit gate and then after apologizing profusely assuring me that you would never lie to me again. You didn’t tell me that you were pregnant. In fact, you went to great lengths to concoct in alternate reality. I’m, I’m so sorry I would’ve told you sooner, but I, I, I couldn’t get a paternity test until I was seven weeks along.

And I didn’t want you to hear the news the way you’re hearing the news now. So why am I hearing it now?

Because he, Eric found out

you said Sloan is hoping this baby isn’t yours. Yeah. I mean, of course we’re in a committed relationship. Mm-hmm. And what about you? What do you mean about me? How do you feel about all this?

On the news, it’s all of a sudden, I, I just haven’t even had time to process this. I mean, we don’t even know if the baby’s mine or if Nicole can even carry the pregnancy to term and ej, my God, how is he gonna respond if he finds out he’s not the father? It’s just, it’s just a complicated situation. I mean, obviously, Yes.

Well, it certainly is complicated and we do know how EJ would react, but you didn’t answer my question. How do you feel about the idea of a call carrying your child?

I’m being honest with myself.

I guess a part of me is hoping that that baby’s mine.

Alright, well soon you get the test results back. Let me know. Okay. Hey, hey. Sweet mess. Come here. You tell me you were coming back today. I know I wanted to surprise you. Hello, Kayla. Hello Harris. Uh, commander Michaels here was just telling me that he’s moving back to Salem. And he wants to help keep an eye on Megan Hathaway.

Huh? But I told him that we’re good. We have more than enough cops and detectives and spies in the family. Actually, I think we need all the help we can get.

It just feels wrong saying that, and I want this baby to be mine. I wasn’t no right or wrong about that. This is about your feelings. You gotta respect those, especially after what happened with Jada. Now, I just shouldn’t be thinking it.

I’ve been Sloan, everything that she’s been through with her brother, this is the last thing that she needs to hear. That I’m having a baby with another woman. Well, it’s not exactly another woman, it’s a woman pro. You still have some feelings. Am I right?

I, I, I can’t believe I didn’t realize what was going on sooner. That’s why you didn’t drink any champagne. That’s why when I got down on one knee and asked you to be my wife, you looked at me and said The timing was bad. I told you I loved you, and you couldn’t even say back. I felt guilty for not telling you the truth, not to mention that you knew you might be carrying another man’s baby.

You want to keep your options open. Keep my options open in case Eric is the father. Then the last thing you would want is to be betrothed to me. No, that is not because you would want him back. Wouldn’t you?

All right. You ready for the finishing touch? Uh, the finishing touch? Yeah. Is it less intense than that toe bending thing you were doing? All right. So you gently, you take the left side of the foot and pull. Why you take the right side and push and twist. Oh, that feels there. It’s amazing. I needed that. Oh, nothing better than that.

You know, I’ve been thinking. If Megan can cure disease and raise the dead, do you think that there’s a way she could invent some sort of comfortable stiletto technology for Gabby Sheik? Oh, if only, I mean, we’ve tried everything under the sun, right? Only we can offer a foot massage with every purchase.

Maybe that was nice. That’s not a bad idea, but seriously, we’ve gotta come up with some sort of idea, something for those two women to do that both helps ’em feeling useful and keeps ’em out of our way. You know, I gotta say, I feel like Megan was kinda lukewarm about her proposal. I think she’s gonna be a tough nut to crack.

I’m a fine way. What about Kristen? Kristen’s too preoccupied with getting her little family back to fall out of line. But Megan. Megan’s got nothing but an obsession with someone who’s comatose another continent. And even though she may be power hungry, I can’t imagine the board’s gonna be okay with her just waltzing in and trying to run things.

I mean, you have to have working knowledge of technology at least. Post walk, man. Am I right? But you my love, you are going to be the best CEO this company has ever seen. I you that also, on top of all that, we have the backing of the staff and the management, as you know. So Megan is not gonna be charged.

There’s no way in hell yeah. Well both agree on that. But you know, Megan, she’s got an ego on her bigger than all outdoors and, and not to mention her cold heart that is, What I, I’m thinking is set on world domination. I, I’m just wondering how she’s gonna take it. Do they honestly think that we’re gonna put our leverage behind them for a couple of measly jobs at Gabby Sheik?

What a waste of considerable talent. Yeah, I agree with you. We should be running Damara, not our baby brothers, and certainly not that little low life operator. Gabby Hernandez. My ambitions extend far beyond running Dara. Oh, and how far do they extend across oceans, across continents. I want no. I deserve more.

So much more. Can you be a little more specific? Father was a grand papa buster. The whole town of Salem feared Stephan o Damara. The world feared him and all of his other offspring have had their shot at emulating him. Now it’s my turn. Oh, okay. So now you want to be your father’s daughter, do you? I am my father’s daughter, and just as the Phoenix making Tamara is rising again.

To state the painfully obvious, Megan Hathaway doesn’t hold a candle to you. My stunning cunning wife to be. I love it when you say those words. Stunning, cunning, uh, wife. To be,

I can’t wait till we drop those final two words. You have no idea how long I’ve been dreaming about this. Yeah. What Running Gabby Sheik vacations in Hawaii sipping champagne in for his class. All of that is fun. Yes. But what, what truly matters is that we’re together again, how lucky we are and we can have it all.

You and I, all of it. I mean, think about it. We’re gonna be Salem’s Power Couple you formidable on your own, US Unstoppable as a team. Oh yeah. And what a team we are. My husband’s fee.

So in a nutshell, you are aspiring to take over the world. Have I got that right? I am not being delusional or grandiose. Kristin, I’m dead serious. I’ll start with sailor one bite out of the corporate pie at a time. Okay. You know, this is a very expensive undertaking and unlike father, you don’t hold the purse strings to damara.

Oh, must you wanna slide into Jeff Bezos, whose uh, dms. Cute. But no, I won’t be needing to bear money. I have another plan.

Abes missing. Yeah. And the psychopath that attacked him, Colin Bedford, apparently he escaped from police custody and he’s out there somewhere impersonating a cop. Do the police think that Abe’s attackers the one who took them? Well, that’s their leading theory at the moment. They have nothing else to go on.

What can I do to help? Well, I, you know, I think that the police need more manpower. Jada is just pulled in, well, a lot of different directions. How so? Well, her sister, for one, was arrested. For being in cahoots with this Bedford guy in cahoots. How? Look, I don’t know all the details. All I know is that we want Abe found.

I mean, he is relatively stable, but he had a serious head injury and I’m just worried that he’s not gonna get the care that he needs. I take it, mayor Carver’s a good friend of yours. He’s more than just a friend. He’s really family. You look tired. You need to get something to eat. I will. But you know, I, I, I, I hate to say I have to leave, but I just came here to pick up a couple things.

I need to get back to the hospital and brief the board. Sorry, one second. Oh, and the test results I’ve been waiting for rn, so hey. Hey. Are you okay? Yeah, I now that

I told son, I loved her. That means she said it first and then next thing you know, I set it back. Well, you, you wouldn’t have said it if you didn’t mean it. I did mean it in the moment. Well, maybe you didn’t mean it was an undying kind of love.

Oh, honey, I know you, I know how much you want a family. And when that happened, you’re gonna be a spectacular father.

But if this baby is yours, do you think you want to raise it with Nicole while she’s still with ej? Or are, are you thinking that maybe the two of you will, I don’t know, reunite and raise the baby together?

Ej, this is not about me wanting to go back to Eric or, or, or keeping my options open then. Then, what is it about? I was so desperately hoping to tell you that we were having a baby together, so then you wouldn’t have to deal with this uncertainty and anxiety. That has pretty much consumed me for the last few weeks.

Especially since there’s a good chance that I, I might not be able to carry this pregnancy to term.

Have you, have you spoken to a doctor yet? I mean, surely there have been some medical advances. When you were last pregnant? Yeah, I, I know I have been, and now I, I haven’t made an appointment with a specialist because I’ve, I’ve just been taking everything. One step at a time,

and I am curious, but how did Eric find out?

Sloane Peterson told him. Sloane knows she found out by accident. Ugh. Who else? Nicole. Who else knew before itis? I confided in Anna and she accidentally told Tony,

oh God, I feel like such a fool. No, AJ it was only gonna be for one more day. I’m, I’m seven weeks along now, and I, I had the test run and we’re gonna find out the results really soon. And how is that possible? Don’t you need a sample from me and Eric? No, just one of you. I was gonna swab your cheek while you were sleeping, but you went outta town.

So Sloane got a sample from Eric.

Nicole, Kayla. Hi. I have your test results.

You know what I wanna do in our honeymoon? What’s that? This, I just wanna be in bed with you all day.

Love the way your mind works. I can’t believe we’re actually gonna have a honeymoon this time and wedding cake, more than two guests in attendance. Right. How long do you think it’ll take, by the way, I mean, to plan the wedding that you’ve always dreamt of? I mean, it’s already been four years and that has been enough waiting for me.

Right. Yeah. Me too. But, hmm. And you really think we could afford to get away from Dara right now? I mean, yeah, taking over Dara is important to me, but marrying you, it’s everything. The most important.

What are you thinking?

I’m just, we don’t even have the divorce degree yet. The papers are signed. Have it day now. Yeah, day. Why don’t we get the feeling that you’re looking for reasons to put off the way.

Oh, I love a good get rich, quick scheme, just like the next person. So share. Megan, what do you have on your mind? You’ll find out soon enough. Wait, you don’t trust me. I trust you more than just about anyone. Ah, which means not very much am I right. You’ll have all the necessary details, my dear. When the time is right, I want to make sure that everything is in place first for when Bo regains consciousness father called Marlene, his Queen of the night.

Beau is going to be my queen, and together we are going to, okay, just time out. Time out. I mean, I’m sorry to interrupt your little fairytale, but what is my role in all of this? It is a vital one, of course. Oh, a vital one is, is that all you can say? I mean, that’s just as much as good as the proposal that you threw into the fire.

I am not trying to appease you, Kristin. You and I both know that you are not gonna have the time or the dedication to devote to this project as I do, given the fact that you have a young child that said, I very much need you. You are paramount to all of this. You’re damn right. I am. And I’m gonna make something clear.

I will not be sidelined, duly noted. And also, I’m gonna want something from you in return.

Well, can we come meet you now please? Yes, I’m on my way to the hospital and I have the next 30 minutes free. I’ll be there.

Why she couldn’t give you the results over the phone. What about checking the patient portal? I was actually hoping you’d come with me, hear the results. When? When I do.

I’ve been agonizing over this for weeks and now that you finally know I was, I was hoping we could go through this together no matter what.

I know that I’ve been rather harsh with you over all this, me not having known sooner.

But I want to be clear with you, Nicole,

nothing would make me happier than having a child with you.

Thank you.

That means so much to me.

Show me, ah, there’s, there’s just. One thing I have to do first, what is the point of all these hypothetical questions? It won’t mean anything if I’m not the baby’s father. I disagree. I think you need to be honest about your feelings regardless of what the test shows. And darling, if you’re still harboring some ideas that you and Nicole will get back together.

I think you need to look at that.

It’s Nicole.

She wants me to meet her at the hospital.

Guess this is the moment of truth.

Of course. No, of course. I wanna marry you as soon as possible. Okay, then what’s going on? I guess I’m a little gun shy after my last wedding turned into a farce, after, you know, 30 minutes. Okay, look at me this time. It’s gonna be perfect. All I know is I’m grateful every single day for the second chance,

first wedding, when a was. Marrying us downstairs. That was on July 31st. So if we pick that same day, we’ll only have one anniversary to remember. Oh, July 31st, huh? That’s um, mm-hmm. That’s eight weeks away. I know. You sure? That’s enough time. Of course. It’s enough time. Come on, I’m gonna make this an event to remember and for.

All the right reasons this time. I hope so

very well, Kristen. Tell me what this one condition is. Well, as you know, Brady has full custody of Rachel and he is held bent on keeping her away from me at all costs. Now, I asked several lawyers to revisit the case. They all refused me and I’m just sick and tired of hearing the word no. So I want these nefarious plans of yours to include my getting full custody of Rachel.

For good this time custody that is so pedestrian. Have you considered kidnapping her? Please Look, I know you have moved heaven and earth to be with your son, right? Yes, I have.

What’s on your mind? I’m just a bit concerned about Dimitri after he made sure that our. Immunity was included in his immunity deal. He was meant to come straight back to Salem. Haven’t heard from him. It was under the impression that he unitized everywhere. My son is an ex I s A agent. He’s an imposter.

Or be that as it may, if he doesn’t want to be found, he won’t be. Why would he not wanna be found? Well, I know for a fact the Alama family were desperate to get him back into custody, and I just hope that they haven’t intercepted him somehow. Call your jet’s mother. Your son’s right here.

Well, it’s like old home week here in Salem. All the villains passed and present co convening to make trouble. So I don’t have any more time to chew the fat with you, Michaels. I’ve really gotta get ahold of my partner, John, so we can get out there and find Abe. I’d really like to help if I can. Thanks. But we’re good.

Are you sure about that? Because if you’re out there looking for Abe, who can keep an eye on Megan 24 7. We got this. Michaels. Okay. Message heard loud and clear. I’ll go,

but, uh, see if, if you change your mind. My offer still stands,

ej are, are you okay? I don’t understand why you felt it necessary to summon Eric. Because I promise I would tell him when the results came in, and I wanna do this one time and then have it over with.

Well, uh, nothing yet. Kayla’s gonna meet us here in a few minutes. Well, I’m not in any suspense actually. Odds are strong. You want the father given that you only had sex when Nicole Once recently. Yeah. Well recently is what counts in this case, wouldn’t it? And since Nicole and I are now living together and enjoying each other for quite some time now, well stop it.

Just stop.

This is not some sick competition. Okay? This is about a, a child, a life. So I need you two to be kind to each other and to me

it breaks my heart that something that I’ve been longing for for so long, something that is such a blessing and a miracle could end. Fraught and painful. So I need you to help me through this. Whatever the results, whoever the father of this baby is. Okay. Can you do that for me please?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, well, it has been a long, long winter. But it was well worth the wait, let me tell you. Yeah. You know, I don’t care if we were wearing parkas. Parkas? As long as I get to spend some alone time with you. Well, I agree with the alone time. Uh, it’s nice to have the sun on the skin. Right?

[ Laughs ] Um, I would — I would like a little spritzer, though, if you don’t mind. Is that a hint? Want me to go… trek over there and get if for you? Yeah. Yeah? Whatever you wish. Thank you, babe. I’m so sorry you’re hurting. But if there’s one thing I know, it’s that curtis ashford is strong enough to weather whatever comes his way. And he won’t have to go through it alone. You have so many people who love you, and they’ll be right by your side no matter what. Hi. Jordan. You’re probably wondering how I knew you were here. So you came to see me? Yes. Your wife told me where to find you. Everything is in order, mr. Cassadine. Per instructions of the late mr. Victor cassadine, the contents of this box now belong to you. I’m sorry for your loss. Thank you.

[ Door closes ] It’s not too late. Spencer. I mean it. We can leave this box locked. We can walk out of here. I know my uncle victor, and there’s 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? Hey, dr. Gh. Hi. Um, can I ask you a question? Absolutely. Uh, it’s about my — my post-op recovery. Oh. In private, if that’s okay. Yeah, you bet. If we’re gonna discuss your post-op recovery, we should probably do it in my office. Don’t you think? We got a problem. Hey, perfect timing. I just made brownies. Well, not so perfect. They are still really hot. What brings you by? Look, mom has to defend herself against the insider trading charges. And now that you’ve left dex hanging out to dry, she can. Look, joss, nothing is official. We don’t even know if the justice department is even going to make her an offer. Well, why does she have to wait? She can bring the offer to them. She could save herself and drew. Once, you know, you give her the smoking gun. Josslyn, I had my reasons for not wanting to use that footage against sonny. And how do those reasons compare to our mother going to prison? Something that you have the power to stop. Oh, no. It’s not bad news, is it?

[ Lock clicks ] Okay, we’re here. We’re in private. Nobody can listen to us. Can you please just e-mail me the video of sonny taking the shipment from pikeman? I don’t have it.

[ Chuckles ] You’re not here for the sun, I guess. Not today. Yeah. Have — have you seen nina around? Nina? No. I’ve been too busy paying attention to that pretty thing over there.

[ Chuckles ] Looks like you guys are in a good place. That’s what it’s all about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I can’t complain. Well, you seem lighter. Well, maybe it has something to do with, uh, nina and me. We…got engaged. You got engaged? That’s amazing. That’s — that’s amazing. Congratulations. That’s awesome news.

[ Laughs ] That’s awesome news. Things are looking up in your world, then, yeah? Not everything. Be overwhelming.

Gives meget the brands you want, excuse me. What’s going on with sonny? I don’t know. Did you know that he and nina got engaged? Uh, well, I just… overheard him tell you that. Um, but I-I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I mean, this means he and carly have truly moved on. Is willow okay? Yeah. No, no. She’s — she’s — she’s fine. I checked on her this morning. So far, so good. She, um — she asked about you. She’s — she’s worried. We both are. I do not want willow worrying about me. She’s got to focus on herself. Will you please tell her I’m fine? No, you and I both know, mom, that you’re not fine. From what you told me, it does not sound like you have many options. Well, I will take my chances in court or I’ll go for a deal, okay? Which would mean offering up drew or dad to the feds. Yeah. It’s not much of a choice, but… so you’re gonna take your chance in court? I don’t know. But it’s my decision to make, michael. And that’s why I don’t want you and josslyn fighting over this, okay? This is my problem. Can’t you see, mom? What affects you affects us. I know that. So whatever decision I make, it will be what’s best for this family. And what decision will that be, mom? You don’t have the footage? I gave the only copy to michael. Why? Because it’s his property. Michael paid me. I delivered the footage. End of story. No, no, it’s not the end of story, because that video’s the one shot my mom has at not going to prison. Then she needs to get it from michael. I can’t believe that you risked your life to get this video and you don’t keep a copy for insurance. That’s not how I work. I provide a service, joss. Okay? Look, it’s like when I was in the military. I-I was given a mission, an objective, and I completed it. I didn’t take ownership of it. It’s the exact same thing now, okay? Michael hired me. The footage belongs to him. Even if I had a copy, which I don’t, I couldn’t give it to you. No need to get in my face, sonny. I got no beef with you. Only with carly, ratting her out to the sec? That’s low, even for a quartermaine, ned. I don’t owe you any explanations. I’m here to see my wife. No, you’re not going anywhere until I’m done with you. Nikolas inherited property in the chechen republic, and now laura thinks that’s where he’s been hiding out. Why? The theory is that — that victor hid him there once before. Now laura wants to fly to chechnya, find him, and bring him home. Oh, ava. You said we have a problem. Come on, if — if laura wants to go to chechnya to look for nikolas, she’s never gonna find him. Let her go. Let her try. It’s dangerous. She — she could be hurt or worse. No, w-we have to stop her. Um, yeah, I’m — I’m — I’m gonna push back on that just a — just, like, a little bit. If you go to laura and you say, “hey, don’t go to chechnya to look for your long-lost son,” she’s gonna want to know why not, right? So you’re worried. I-I-I get that. I totally understand. But you can’t say anything to laura. You can’t do anything to raise suspicion. But I-I can’t have any more blood on my hands. Especially not laura’S. You spoke with portia about me? Don’t worry. I didn’t tell her what happened with us at the savoy. Aren’t you gonna invite me in? Yeah, absolutely. It really is lovely here. So when were you gonna tell me you moved back home? Well, actually, I was on my way to come find you right now. Opened the door, and there you were. It’s like I’m always here when you need me. Except I’m not sure it works the other way around. You’re angry. You can add hurt to that. Definitely confused. After we kissed, we agreed that I would wait. And while I was waiting, you reconciled with your new wife. You know, if pandora had left that box closed, the world would have been spared all its evils. Hope also came out of that box. Stop stalling. Is that what I think it is? What fresh hell?


There’s no juice. Maybe it’s a sign. Or it just needs a fresh charge. Good thing your girl always comes prepared. My dad has a rule that I should never be without a charge. Oh. Well, remind me to thank him the next time that I see him, then. Let’s see what’s in this. Is that a receipt? Mm-hmm. From an online pharmacy. This is a prescription filled by esme. For what? For the same drug that almost killed oz haggerty. And poisoned me. Michael, I’m not selling anybody out. Maybe you shouldn’t look at it that way, mom. How else am i supposed to see it? I either turn against the man I love or the man I used to love, who happens to be the father of my kids. Come on. But you — you told sonny that you wouldn’t double-cross him. While that’s admirable, from where I’m standing, he hasn’t exactly extended the same courtesy to you or this family. That’s not true. He offered to give me information that I could offer the feds, something that he could defend himself against. I turned him down. I don’t want to open that door, michael. Okay. What if you had something that sonny can’t defend himself against? Let me save us both some time. If I don’t pull strings and stop the sec investigation into drew and carly, you’ll make me pay? Is that the gist of it? Oh, yeah. You’re gonna pay. Worse than carly and drew, ned. You may want to do something about this. You’re threatening me, sonny? I don’t threaten people. I get even. I thought we had mutual respect, until you went after the mother of my kids. I had nothing to do withthe sec investigation! You always have nothing to do with it! You’ll have to find someone else to threaten, sonny. Always. Yeah. Okay, step back. Step back. I’m not the one who started this. I’ll be happy to finish it. Is that what you want? What the hell is going on here? I’m a mother, too. And I understand what laura is going through. I just can’t risk anything happening to her while she searches for nikolas, especially because it’s my fault that he’s gone in the first place. Fine. That’s — yeah, let’s do it. Let’s — let’s, uh — let’s figure out a way to stop laura. Thank you. Yeah, no problem. I-I — I’d like to propose some terms, though. I — if — terms like what? Well, I don’t — I don’t see any reason to rush any of this, right? I mean, it’s probably really hard for anybody to go to chechnya, let alone an american. And it’s not gonna be easy for laura to get out of chechnya, either. That’s not a piece of cake, probably. So whatever plan laura’s gonna come up with has to be well-thought-out and considered. And hopefully that’ll give us some time to really think about how to stop her.


Jordan, I would never play a, a, it’s not reconciliation. It’s just a first step. Does portia know that? I’m staying in the guest room.

[ Scoffs ] Even so, what gives, curtis? Were you ever considering reviving what we had together? Or was I just there to help you sort out your feelings for your wife? Jordan, I would never play you like that, okay? What happened between us was — it was spontaneous. It was impulsive.

[ Scoffs ] But it was completely organic. Maybe this is on me. I got wrapped up in a single kiss. I misread the situation, didn’t I? I wasn’t sure if you knew that esme drugged you that night at the cabin. My mom and curtis suspected it. It made the most sense. I barely even drank that night, not enough to make me feel so out of it! How’d you know? Did esme tell you? I found pills. I was going through all of esme’s things, trying to find something that would clear you in court, trina. I brought one of the pills to britt, and she told me that it was an opioid analgesic, something that, when mixed with alcohol, could cause a person to lose consciousness. It sure did that to me. I know. I’m so sorry, trina. Yeah. So am I. Look. Okay. Listen to me. I mean, I’m so sorry that I didn’t tell you about this sooner, but things just kept happening. It was one thing on top of another on top of another. And I guess it just got buried. And I’m sorry. I know. It’s okay. It’s been a lot. But it sure comes back up, though. It was such a violation. And it started the whole revenge-porn case. At least I didn’t end up like oz haggerty in a coma. I wanted to be the one to save you. But I didn’t have any actual proof. Until now. Thank you. You’re welcome. I feel so much better. It really helps me that I have someone to share this with. Literally anytime. You know, ava, when —

[ Chuckles ] When you said there was a problem, I thought — I thought you might have heard from mason. Oh. Have you? No. No. N-not a peep. That’s great. I mean, that’s great… and also really weird ’cause usually, you know, when he has his hooks in somebody, he’s not inclined to let go. Well, small favors, right? Right? Dare we hope that — that mason has given up? Given up on you two? Never. Go ahead. Look for yourself. No, I’m not gonna look through it. If you tell me it’s not there, then I believe you. I have to, because if you’re lying, then we got nothing. Look, I spent months telling you half-truths and keeping secrets. I won’t do that again. Really? Even if it’s your job? Just like it was your job to get this video for michael and — and not keep a copy and not give it to me? To me, honesty and evidence are two different things. I can tell you what I’m doing, but I can’t make you a part of it. Sonny and I are just having a friendly chat, one where I shut up and listen. In case you’ve forgotten, this is my place of business. So I can’t have a conversation in your hotel? Is that what you’re saying, olivia? I think maybe you should do it somewhere privately. Yeah, you know, like, not at a patio with a pool full of witnesses. To be continued. Sonny, I get that you’re pissed. And had I done what you’re accusing me of doing, you’d have every right to threaten me. But god as my witness, it wasn’t me. At least sonny and I are in agreement about one thing. We both don’t want you to go to prison. Michael, I know you have huge issues with your dad. Yeah, I do. Despite everything that happened, it’s still not easy to come to grips with wanting to save your mother at the expense of your father. Well, it’s a good thing you don’t have to. Mom… joss is worried about you, and so am I. If it came down to the choice of saving you or sonny… I’m not going to sacrifice sonny to save my own skin, michael. I won’t do that. Okay. Then what if I do it instead? How did this receipt end up here? Is there something else in the envelope? It’s a letter. “Dear maggie. I need your advice. I may be in a lot of trouble.” That’s esme’s nanny. “A sleazy bartender I met has been harassing me. Tonight I met with him, hoping to convince him to leave me alone, and things got out of control. I slipped him something so I could get away, and I may have seriously hurt him.” Spencer, do you realize what this is? Evidence. Oo like a genie? So you can change it less often. That’s got to be esme’s handwriting. It looks like it. Isn’t that just like esme — trying to slant things to make herself look like the victim when she’s the one who purposely drugged oz haggerty? You can never induce that girl to tell the truth. Total amnesia could. Right?

[ Chuckles ] This is amazing. This is amazing. A receipt proving that esme bought the drugs that she used to incapacitate two people. And a written confession! What else do we need? Do you think that’s charged enough? Only one way to find out. Jordan, you didn’t misread anything. My feelings for you are real, and me moving back in here doesn’t change that. And how real are your feelings for portia? I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have real feelings for portia, as well.

[ Scoffs ] I’m out of here. Jordan, you accused me of not giving our marriage the chance it needed. And you were right. When you wanted to work on things, I walked away because I wasn’t ready to handle the pain at that time. And now I’m trying to learn from my mistake. It wouldn’t be fair to you and portia if I walked away from my marriage before I sorted out my feelings. And how do you plan on doing that? By not avoiding portia. By committing to having the hard conversation. By — [ Sighs ] By doing what I didn’t do with you. That’s putting in the hard work. That’s admirable and great news for portia, but where does that leave me? You’re right, sonny. Our families have had an ugly history. But we share a family member, and we both prioritize family. And, granted, the quartermaines don’t always show it, but when push comes to shove, we’re loyal and we pull together. And when I threatened drew, I was angry, but that’s where it ended. And carly — carly I consider family. Not just because she’s michael’s mother, but she’s olivia’s best friend and loved by my son, leo. I would never hurt her. Alright. Well, you know, let’s not pretend that you would never act in your own self-interest. Your family loyalty took a vacation when you threw in with valentin. And that’s the reason, olivia, that carly lost half of her hotel. And I regret that. Which is why I would never kick her while she’s down. Sonny, you and I go way back. Which is why I am not asking you to believe ned. I’m asking you to believe me. My husband didn’t do this. Don’t you guys look comfortable? All cozy and at ease. Did you miss me?

[ Chuckles ] Sorry I’ve been gone for so long. I was out of town on important business. But worry not. I didn’t forget about you. -I’ve been keeping tabs. -How? Anybody ever tell you you worry too much, cuz? You know, you should be more like our girl ava here. She’s been living her life, carrying on without a care in the world. It’s almost as if she doesn’t even miss her husband. I’m sorry. For what? You’re scared for your mom, and you came to me thinking that I could help you save her, and I can’T. I feel like I’m failing you. Look. I came up with a plan that couldn’t work. I thought that you could give me something that you literally don’t have. So, you know, it’s not your fault. None of this is your fault. Because it’s my family’s mess. And I don’t know how to fix it. Because if my mom doesn’t turn in that evidence against sonny and she goes to prison, then donna has nobody except for sonny and nina. And she needs her mom. She’ll have you.

[ Scoffs ] I think you might need your mom, too. Yeah, but I’m grown and… I shouldn’t need her as much as I do. We always need the people that care about us the most. I can’t sit here and do nothing. I have to find a way to help her. Maybe start by trusting her. Michael, the feds have been circling this family for years, and I haven’t talked. And I’m not gonna start now, even for a deal. Yeah. True. You could — you could probably send sonny away with what you already know. But there’s a way to ensure that you never have to open your mouth.

[ Sighs ] What is on this flash drive is irrefutable evidence that sonny violated the national security act. You just give me the word, and I’ll make sure that the relevant parties see it, and your hands will be clean. What is on that flash drive? Video footage of sonny and his crew finalizing a deal to export a dangerous weapon. How do you know this? How did you even get that flash drive? Because I commissioned it.


Oh then you take me by the hand I feel better again oh I feel better now because of olivia, this is over. But if I hear that you had any part of this… you won’T. Sonny… see you around. Okay? I’m gonna go get that spritzer and grab you a beer. Thank you. What — what the hell was that? From what I know, ned had something to do with carly’s problems with the sec. What do you expect me to do? Well, not that. I mean, you want to go to bat for the mother of your children? That’s fine, but don’t go at ned in a public place like this. What do you think happens? He has an accident or something like that. Who do you think I then have to come and talk to? You. You really want both of donna’s parents behind bars? You paid someone to spy on sonny? I needed proof of criminal liability that would send sonny to prison for the rest of his life. Oh, my god. And this was more than I could have asked for. What were you thinking? What’s on that drive could destroy our family! Yes, I know. Willow — willow told me the same thing. That’s why after we got married I decided I wasn’t gonna try and take sonny down anymore. But you still held onto it! Yes, and it’s a good thing that I did because, mom, this could be the one thing that’s standing between you and a federal prison! You can’t tell her how to handle this any more than she can tell you how to handle your life. Well, she definitely has opinions. Yeah, about me. About you being with me. Hey. I told you, she just doesn’t want to see me get hurt. She never directly told me to not be with you. She knows that I would not listen. Would’ve just solved all her problems if I did what michael wanted and left port charles. Not really. Because I offered to go with you. And I meant it. I know. And the fact that you were willing to do that, it — it terrified me. You creep! Okay. [ Stammers ] You know, ’cause… ouch. Ava! Is that really what you think of me? After everything I’ve done for you? Need I remind you, refresh your memories, what would have happened if I didn’t step in and get rid of your little problem? What? You don’t like sunshine and fresh air? Because I guess I could go to the pcpd right now, and I guarantee you’ll never feel either of those again. What’s your point, mason? Is there one? Do you have a purpose or are you just here to torment us? Don’t rush me, cuz, though I do appreciate the go-getter attitude. You’re gonna need it. See, it’s time for the two of you to show poor old mason a little appreciation. -Is that — -that’s esme with the bartender. This looks like a still from a security camera on the docks. What are they doing? Yeah. That’s a hand-off. Spencer… is this proof that esme paid for a burner phone? The same one that she filmed joss and cam with? It sure looks like it.

[ Chuckles ] All this time, we thought esme could cover up her tracks so well. I guess there’s no such thing as a perfect crime. No.

[ Chuckles ] At least not where my uncle victor is concerned. Jordan, I understand this is uncomfortable for you. And despite my best efforts, it’s probably still unfair. But I never would have asked you to wait if I thought you were some consolation prize.

[ Scoffs ] Does portia know I’m the other half of this equation? As much as you hate dishonesty, don’t you think you should be fully transparent with both women in your life? I do. There’s just… more at play here. Yeah. Portia told me the news. You are trina’s father. I am. Congratulations. Thanks. You are navigating so much. Is there really room in your life for another complication? Jordan, you’re much more than that. Just took me too long to realize it. Can you give me just a little bit more time?


If it wasn’t for me, you would both be behind bars. Mason, why don’t you just tell us what it is you have in mind? I have something I need you to do. Oh, I’d be happy to buy you a bus ticket out of town. You don’t even have to ask. Sense of humor will come in handy, as well as your charisma and fearlessness. Ava’s got all the charisma we need. Your needs are not my problem. And my ample charisma is none of your damn business. So feisty. She is. Mason, why don’t you just explain to ava exactly what you want from her?

We want you to work your very specific connections. “We”? We who? And what connections are you talking about? I’m a gallerista, for crying out loud. You want a deal on a piece of art? It’s not about your art, ava. It’s about your family. I have so many questions. I mean, how did your uncle obtain all this evidence and how long was he sitting on it for? And if he hadn’t died, would you had ever known? Yeah, those are all valid questions. This safety deposit box contains a smoking gun. This is exactly what I was hoping for. Okay, look, let’s get everything together and let’s go to the pcpd. Spencer, this is it. You got everything you need to get custody of your baby brother. I’ve been living in limbo since our divorce. And while you reunited with portia, fell in love, and…

[ Sighs ] …Proposed… I found myself buried in work, even resisting going out on dates. I never wanted that for you. And I’m not blaming you. It was my choice not to move on. Maybe subconsciously I was holding out for hope. Jordan, I don’t want to keep you waiting. That’s exactly why we’re having this conversation, so I can find out where I stand with portia, and then I can find out where I stand with you. I know where we stand, curtis. What does that mean? I hope you find what you’re searching for here, curtis. And I hope you and portia can be happy, whether it’s together or apart. And you? I have to truly let go. Finally. Two years was too long to put my life on hold. I can’t wait a minute more. Ned, I’m sorry. I don’t blame you. I’ve let you down before. But you’ve also been there for me before, like with leo. I’m sorry. I should never have doubted you. Can you forgive me? Maybe. Can you remind me what you said to sonny again? “My husband didn’t do this”? One more time. “My husband did not do this.” I get it. This is just too much. What started off as a casual thing just got way too intense. We’ve never put a label on our relationship. In the beginning, I was just excited to spend time with you, even if usually you were tearing into me for working for sonny. Then you — you rescued me from a meat hook and you patched me up when I was shot. You even covered for me when I took a shot at that killer on the docks. Anyone would have done that. Nobody would have gone to the lengths for me that you have. Donna shouldn’t have to lose time with her mother in jail. You know what I mean? Okay. But carly’s actions bear some responsibility, no? She didn’t do it on purpose. But whoever pointed the sec towards carly and drew, they sure as hell did. There’s an agenda, is what I’m trying to say! Alright, well, you say that like you have someone in mind other than ned. Thank you. The tip to the sec was anonymous. Yeah, I mean, anybody could be trying to get to carly… or use carly to get to me. Oh, my god. Look, I-I had decided that this footage would never serve a good purpose, but now I realize that it could save you. So, mom, you — do you want to use it or do you want me to? I would prefer that it didn’t exist, michael. Okay. I respect that. You know, if you — if you change your mind… I won’T. This footage can never see the light of day. Who else knows about this? You have defended me to your mom, gone to bat for me with your brother. You’ve even pleaded my case to sonny. You are special. Once-in-a-lifetime. And the thought of losing you, it… it scares me because… ’cause I’m in love with you, josslyn. So now it’s my turn to ask. Is this too much for you?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: Dizzy reece, “soundin’ off.” First van gelder mono, factory sealed and vinyl. My friend neil would go crazy over this. So? You can’t find these, I’m tellin’ ya.

Diane: This must be our lucky night.

Jack: Oh, in more ways than one. Thank you for suggesting mo’S.

Diane: Well, it’s your favorite record store, and tonight, we’re going to do all of our favorite things.

Jack: Everything I do with you is my new favorite thing.

[ Diane laughing ] I am sorry that tucker and ashley spoiled our time at society.

Diane: Nope! Already forgotten because this night is not over.

Jack: Oh, other plans?

Diane: Yes. Drinks first.

Jack: Oh! Well, let me get you something at the bar, all right?

Diane: No, no, no! No, no. No, no. I got this. Two martinis, one dirty, one with extra olives, and I can’t wait to chat up the bartender or mixologist or whatever he wants to be called, because I am dying for small talk with strangers. Like, what kind of gin does he prefer, and how we both know that it should be stirred, not shaken because gin is so much more delicate than vodka.

Jack: You are an absolute wonder.

Diane: Hmm. I’ve just gotten my life back for the second time since coming home to genoa city and I plan on soaking up every minute of it.

Summer: Oh my, god, mom, you’ve got to let this go.

Kyle: Hey.

Summer: Oh. Wow, that looks… festive?

Kyle: Yeah. I want it to be perfectly chill by the time my parents get home. We can finally toast to my mom’s freedom.

Phyllis: Hey. Summer, I’m getting desperate. Please, please, answer me.

Daniel: Well, we cut the drop off pretty close. I’m glad you made it to your gate in time. I love you, too, luce. You have a safe flight. Oh, um, and… text me when you land. I don’t care what time it is, okay? ‘Kay. Bye.

[ Phone chiming ] Who’s this?

Sharon: You’re right, nikki. Cameron started causing problems for me the minute he got to town. He… wanted me. And he made it evident that if his deal was gonna happen with nicholas, I was gonna have to chip in a little on the side.

Nikki: And you never told your husband about this ugly game this guy was playing with you?

Sharon: How could I tell him?

Nikki: How could you not? This guy was comin’ after you. Do you think for a moment that nicholas wouldn’t have supported you?

Sharon: Oh, my god. Oh, it’s you.

Nick: Sorry. You okay?

Sharon: Yeah, I’m just a little jumpy.

Nick: Yeah, you need to start locking the doors, sharon.

Sharon: Good idea.

Nick: All right, if you’re done here, let’s go. I’ll take you home.

Sharon: You don’t have to drive me.

Nick: Sorry. You don’t get a say in that.

Sharon: Well, you already beefed up security.

Nick: Well, you can never be too safe. And until kirsten is out of our lives, you’re gonna have to deal with it.

Sharon: You know, every time I hear a noise or I get a delivery, or my phone rings, I’m afraid. I know, it’s silly.

Nick: No. It’s not silly at all. Not with a monster like that on the loose.

Cameron: Not bad. Not bad at all. I won’t let me moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Diane: Here you go.

Jack: Oh.

Diane: The reason there’s an odd number of olives is because an even number is bad luck.

Jack: Well, I think luck’s gotta be a big part of our evening.

Diane: Mmm.

Jack: So, um… where’s your drink?

Diane: In all the excitement of interacting with the outside world, I forgot my martini.

Jack: Kyle is forever forgetting his phone these days. I hope it isn’t inherited.

Diane: I would hate to think I passed down that trait.

Jack: Now, wait a minute. Where’d you just go now?

Diane: It’s– it’s nothing. I was just thinking that the night of the gala, kyle lost his phone in here, and that set off the whole chain of events that became a nightmare.

Jack: I’m sorry, I did not mean to bring all that up. That is over now. Good fortune is on our side from here on out.

Diane: And, I– I know, and I– I– I do feel fortunate. But jack, I just worry about what this has done to kyle and summer. I mean, I– I watch them, I listen, and they don’t seem to be connected. It’s like they’re living separate lives.

Jack: None of this has been easy for either of them. None of this has been easy for us. What with phyllis alive, and you out from under these charges, I’m hoping that life can get back to some semblance of normal. All of the stress will start to slowly go away and that will be better for everyone. Summer and kyle included. And we will be there for them, but until then, tonight, this is about you. About your courage, about your strength. It’s a celebration of you. So, where do we go now?

Diane: I think I’m going back to the bar to get my drink. I’ll be right back.

Summer: Oh, hey!

Kyle: Hey.

Summer: Let me help you with that. I was about to come find you.

Kyle: Yeah. Harrison and the nanny are out catching fireflies by the pool house.

Summer: Mmm.

Kyle: So nice seeing him excited and carefree and laughing. It’s almost as if the kid notices a burden has been lifted off of this house. Oh, uh, look, I’m sorry. I know it must be hard for you, celebrating a homecoming of sorts, knowing your mother’s still out there.

Summer: I need to go out.

Kyle: Again?

Summer: Yeah, I need to talk to daniel.

Kyle: Okay, can’t it wait ’til morning?

Summer: No, he just dropped off lucy at the airport, so he’s got time right now.

Kyle: Summer, it’s late. My parents will be home soon.

Summer: Look, things have been a mess between me and daniel. I mean, you’ve seen it. We’re so angry at each other and I know that my mom would hate that, so I just feel like while we’re waiting to see her, it’s– it’s one of the only things that we can do, is clear up the animosity between us. I mean, you can understand that, right?

Kyle: Look, I’m all for you resolving your issues with daniel.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: I’m sorry, I know that I’ve hurt you. The way that I’ve shut down and shut you out, and… I really am so sorry, I know… I believe that you’re on my side, even if I don’t deserve it.

Kyle: Why would you say that? Of course you do.

Summer: I love you.

Kyle: I love you, too. And I will always be on your side. And I will be waiting here when you get back. Unless you want me to come with you.

Summer: No! Uh… I mean you should– you should stay here and celebrate with your folks. I mean, your family is healing, and the least I can do is try to do the same for mine.

Sharon: I’m sure you have enough going on without babysitting me. You missed all those calls from sally. Is she okay?

Nick: Yeah, uh… news isn’t great. Apparently, sally’s at risk for pre-eclampsia.

Sharon: Nick, that’s serious.

Nick: I know. So she’s gonna scale back her work, and, uh, try and take it easy. A lot more rest. Get on the meds, and uh… lot of monitoring.

Sharon: Maybe you should go and be with her right now.

Nick: Ah, she’s home. She’s safe now. I’ll feel a lot better when I get you home. You know, with cameron kirsten on the loose, we all have to be on defcon one right now.

Sharon: Still can’t believe he approached faith, and it’s totally my fault.

Nick: Why would you say that?

Sharon: Because when cameron delivered that cigar box to the front porch, faith was there. I could have warned her, right then, what was going on, to be careful. Maybe then, she would have run the other direction when cameron approached her in the park. I thought that I was protecting her. I was… leaving her to be vulnerable.

Nick: Well, she knows now.

Sharon: I told her about everything that happened with cameron after you and chance left.

Nick: Well, I’m sure that wasn’t easy, but faith needed to know. She needed the truth. We all have to have our eyes wide open right now.

Sharon: Every time I open the door, I’m afraid I’m gonna run into another one of cameron’s sick gifts. And I have a feeling his head games are just getting started.

Diane: Thank you.

Cameron: Shouldn’t leave your drink unattended like that.

Diane: Excuse me?

Cameron: Your martini. It’s been sitting there for a while. You shouldn’t do that. Any kind of creep could come along, drop something in it. No one would notice. You got no idea what some people will do.

Diane: I think it’s okay.

Cameron: Just saying. You can’t trust anybody.

Diane: Well, I– I think I can trust anyone here. I come here all the time, with– with my husband, and between the two of us, we know everyone in this room.

Cameron: Do you know me?

Diane: Excuse me, I’m going back to the table with my husband.

[ Diane sighing ] Do you mind mixing another one of these for me?

Cameron: Smart move. Family is just very important.

Jack: So, you think this guy touched your drink?

Diane: Well, I– I don’t know, it was just kind of disturbing.

Jack: You didn’t recognize him at all?

Diane: Well, he looked familiar.

Jack: Incoming.

Diane: Mm-hmm.

Victor: How’d you do it?

Nikki: Yes, how did you do it, diane? I mean, michael is a good attorney, but even he can’t get you off on murder charges. You must’ve lied through your teeth to convince them to let you free.

Diane: Didn’t need to lie, nikki. I’m innocent.

[ Nikki scoffing ]

Jack: Summer!

Diane: What’s she doing here?

Victor: Join us, sweetheart.

Daniel: Thank you.

Summer: I know where she is.

Daniel: How is she?

Summer: She’s not turning herself in. I know that much. Not until we can be sure that she can get her life back.

Daniel: Okay. Okay, so, wh– what’s the plan? What do we do?

Summer: There’s no “we,” daniel. I told you that she’s safe. That’s all that you need to know. I’m handling this on my own, without your special brand of help.

Daniel: Is this you, mom?

Nick: The idea of that creep, cameron, being anywhere near faith, or you?

Sharon: Nick, promise me that you won’t do anything.

Nick: You mean like throw his ass out of an airplane again?

Sharon: You know I… blocked all those memories out, for years, but… lately, they’ve been coming back to me. I know that I was young and stupid, but I’m still ashamed of what I did.

Nick: You were confused. And hurt.

Sharon: My choices brought that madman into our lives. If you hadn’t saved me from cameron’s plane that night…

Nick: It all worked out. And we’re gonna beat him this time, too.

Sharon: I was terrified. I was afraid of you finding out what cameron did. I was afraid of going to the police, and it just made everything so much worse.

Nick: Yeah. When I found out what he did to you… I wanted to break him in half. But not this time. I’m so much smarter now, so we’re gonna– we’re gonna let the police handle it. Along with chance, they will make sure he ends up back in prison. Speaking of which, have you heard from chance?

Sharon: Uh, no.

Nick: Well, you know cameron’s not who he was either. He may have all his millions, but he’s got a record now. That means he’s not untouchable.

Sharon: You know what scares me?

Nick: What?

Sharon: I don’t think he cares. For copd, ask your doctor about breztri. 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, available now at walmart. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Diane: Are you meeting kyle here?

Summer: No, I’m here to see daniel. Diane, I… heard the news.

Victor: Well, this must be hell of a shock to you. Diane jenkins, allowed to go free?

Nikki: As if you weren’t grieving enough. But don’t worry, it’s only a matter of time before the authorities realize they made a mistake and she’ll be back in that ankle monitor.

Victor: What is that look all about?

Summer: Everyone’s gonna find out anyway.

Nikki: Find out what, darling?

Summer: My mom’s alive.

Nikki: What?

Victor: What do you mean, your mom’s alive?

Summer: She’s alive. She contacted daniel. She told him everything, that she was in this really vulnerable place and stark manipulated her into marrying him and then faking her death to frame diane for murder.

Nikki: Oh! Well, of course he did. He’s a very evil man.

Diane: Oh, really?

Victor: Where’s phyllis now?

Summer: I don’t know. She’s on the run. She’s the one that killed stark.

Nikki: My god!

Summer: It was self-defense! It was, I mean, mom realized what a huge mistake she mad and she wanted to come home, but stark, he wouldn’t let her. He attacked her and she had to– and now she’s just– she’s terrified. She’s afraid of the charges that she might be facing.

Nikki: This is unbelievable. I– I’m so sorry you have to go through this.

Summer: I have to hold on to the fact that my mom’s alive, you know? And for the rest of it, that’s why I’m here to see daniel. We’ve gotta figure out what– what comes next.

Victor: What comes next? So, the woman has the guts to come face you and your brother, and then face the music, the consequence of her actions.

Summer: Grandpa, it’s– it’s really complicated. I– look, I gotta go. I gotta go meet daniel, I’m sorry.

Nikki: Darling, if there’s anything that we can do, please call.

Victor: Okay, sweetheart.

Summer: Thank you. Thanks.

Nikki: Oh, poor summer.

Diane: Mmm.

Victor: This is stunning. Always alive, while letting her children think that she’s dead. They mourn over her. Who the hell would do that?

Nikki: I’m sure I wouldn’t know, but that is diane’s area of expertise. Are you pleased with yourself? You pushed phyllis to the edge, and this is the outcome.

Diane: You think this is my fault?

Nikki: It wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t come back to town–

Jack: Nikki, truth and justice won here.

Diane: You know, it’s kind of ironic. Phyllis tried to frame me for murder, and yet, she actually committed one.

Jack: I’m sure you both came here for a peaceful drink together?

Victor: You bet.

Jack: Good. Have a good evening.

Diane: Get your card. Good. Good night.

Phyllis: Ah, there you are. Come in.

Summer: How did you know that I was out there?

Phyllis: Finally! I’ve been waiting for hours, summer.

Summer: No, you have not been waiting for hours, and mom, I thought that we agreed that you wouldn’t text me when I would be with kyle.

Phyllis: Well, there are more important things than tiptoeing around kyle, summer–

Summer: Oh, because everything is about you right now?

Phyllis: No, it’s about you and your brother, actually.

Summer: It’s not about me and my brother. This is about you wanting to see daniel, right? But mom, we already had this conversation. I already told you. And I told you why you can’t see daniel, because if he saw you, if he knew where you were, he would go straight to the police, because he is all about the truth, and you would go to jail, so no, you can’t see daniel!

Phyllis: About that…

[ Knocking on door ]

Summer: Oh, my god, are you serious right now?

Phyllis: Might be too late.

Daniel: Hello?

Phyllis: Oh.

Summer: No, you’ve gotta be kidding me.

Phyllis: Okay, I didn’t want to make things worse.

Summer: How could it get any worse than it is right now?

Phyllis: You and your brother are at odds. This is my fault, summer. I had to take matters into my own hands.

Daniel: Hello?

Summer: I guess I’ll get it.

Daniel: Summer. What are you doing here? Wha– what the hell is going on? Did you send me this weird text?

Phyllis: I did.

Nick: You know what? I don’t want to talk about cameron anymore. In fact, I’m going to proclaim this a cameron-free zone. So, let’s clean up this place, and then I will take you home. So what else can I do to speed up this process?

Sharon: Um, how about… sugar duty?

Nick: Sugar duty. Does that mean I get first pick of the day-old muffins?

Sharon: You know the drill. RefillS.

Nick: Right. It’s like riding a bike. If I was the sugar, where would I be?

Sharon: In the back. Top shelf, left.

Nick: Top shelf, left.

Sharon: And I am going to grab the sugar containers from the patio.

Nick: All right. She found it. Dealdash.Com the fair and honest bidding site. This kitchenaid mixer sold for less than $26. This I-pad sold for less than $43. And this playstation 5 sold for less than a dollar. Go to dealdash.Com right now and see how much you can save.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Jack: This is it. The room where your future changed in an instant.

Diane: I was so happy that night, the… happiest I’d ever been. I was engaged and loved. Dancing in your arms. Excited about our future, and then… then jeremy bumped into you, and phyllis collapsed and just… everything changed.

[ Diane exhaling ]

Jack: You’ve done the work. You came here, you faced your past. Now, let me take you outta here, huh?

Diane: Dance with me.

[ Piano playing]

Daniel: Mom.

Phyllis: Oh, my god. God. Shh. Shh. My son. Oh, daniel. Are you okay?

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Are you all right?

Daniel: Yeah.

Phyllis: Okay.

Daniel: Yeah, I mean, you know, knowing you were alive was one thing, but… seeing you…

Phyllis: See, this is good. This is good. Okay? I was right to do this, summer. Everything’s gonna be okay.

Summer: On what planet, mom?

Phyllis: Okay, listen. I’m gonna tell you what I told your sister, okay? I am so sorry for what I did to you, and I promise you, I’m gonna spend the rest of my life making it up to you, every single day.

Daniel: You could have ended this weeks ago at the memorial service, but instead, you let us grieve? You chose to walk away, you chose revenge over your family.

Phyllis: No. No, I was confused.

Daniel: No, the choice seems pretty clear to me.

Phyllis: Okay, listen. I admitted I’m wrong, okay? And I am. And you know what? The memorial service, that made me see how wrong I was, and I saw how important I was to you and your sister. And you drew that beautiful portrait of me. That gorgeous portrait of me just showed how much you love me.

Daniel: I painted that portrait memory because that was my way of trying to keep you alive. I mean, you were– you were there the whole time.

Phyllis: I know. I loved that portrait. But you know what it did for me? It made me realize how much you love me and it gave me strength. And you know what, babe? You know what? That’s why I couldn’t throw it away.

Summer: You did throw it away, though. And chance found it. That’s how he got your dna. There’s an apb out for you. The murder charges against diane have been dropped.

Cameron: I didn’t mean to startle you.

Sharon: We’re closed. And you’re not welcome.

Cameron: I’ve imagined this moment so many times.

Sharon: If you want to have a conversation, try tomorrow at the police station. I will meet you there. Or not. Now, go.

Cameron: All that fire. God, you still burn bright, don’t you?

Sharon: You need to leave, cameron. I mean it.

Cameron: I miss the way you say my name. Come on. We had some good times, didn’t we?

Sharon: No. We did not. Now, get out.

Cameron: I’ve never forgotten one single thing about you, sharon. Your mind. That mouth on you. The way you knew how to use it. God knows I tried to forget. I prayed to forget, but it was impossiblE.

Sharon: Why are you here? Want a smarter way to mop?

Nikki: As angry as I am at phyllis for what she’s put daniel and summer through, diane is right up there. Her insufferable gloating.

Victor: Oh, uh–

Nikki: And now she’s free to wreak havoc on the town again.

Victor: Well, now, that’s jack abbott’s problem, so just… ignore her.

Nikki: Nope, I can’t do that. And she has jack so besotted, he doesn’t know which way is up. I’ll tell you this. Once they are married, we all better watch out because she will use jack’s name to open as many doors as she can and begin her reign of terror.

[ Piano playing ]

Jack: Hey. You okay?

Diane: Very.

Phyllis: Wow. Diane got out from under the charges. Amazing. Well, she got away with it again.

Daniel: She’s innocent. I mean, the person that she supposedly killed is very much alive. I’m– I’m standing here looking at her.

Phyllis: Diane is looking at a fairytale life and I am looking at a huge mess.

Daniel: A mess you created, mom.

Phyllis: I told you, I regret it.

Daniel: Do you regret it because what you did was wrong, or because your plan fell apart?

Summer: Daniel, can you just stop? We need to focus on what we do to get out of this that doesn’t involve telling the police that we know where mom is.

Daniel: Okay, no, no, no, no. The sneaking around needs to end.

Summer: Not with mom behind bars.

Daniel: So what do we do? We just don’t say anything?

Summer: Yes, for now.

Daniel: What about kyle?

Summer: My god, can you just leave him out of this?

Daniel: No, I can’t leave him out of this, summer. He’s your husband, and he loves you, and he’s worried about you. He deserves to know.

Summer: He will know. When the time is right.

Daniel: Oh, when the time is right. What’s that timetable look like, huh? Do you think that your marriage is gonna survive it?

Summer: It’s better than just telling the police to help themselves to our mom!

Phyllis: Stop it! Stop it, I mean it. Stop. I won’t have this. Look what I’ve done to our family. We should not be at odds. We love each other, we fight, but we protect each other. Listen, I can’t put you guys through this. I have to take care of this on my own. Seriously. I mean, just disappear and take care of it on my own.

Summer: No, I’m not gonna let you do that!

Daniel: No. No, no, no.

Phyllis: I– I have to. Look what I’ve done to you. Now, you’re accessories to a crime? You could get into a lot of trouble!

Summer: Protect our loved ones at all costs. That’s what you taught me, mom, so that is what we’re gonna do. Right?

Daniel: Whatever it takes.

Phyllis: Really? Are you sure?

Daniel: I love you, mom.

Summer: I love you.

[ Phyllis exhaling ]

Phyllis: I love you. Want a hug? Or you have boundaries, I know.

Cameron: That’s it? That’s your only question, why am I here? Aren’t you a little curious about, I don’t know, maybe, um… how I’ve been, where I’ve been, what I’ve been doin’ 24 hours a day, day in, day out for the last 20 years? ‘Cause I’ve sure as hell been curious about you. Maybe that’s why I’m here. Curiosity. Look, I know we had our problems, but nobody ever touched me the way you did. What we shared… come on, that connection was real. And I know you felt it. I liked it.

Nick: Hey! You get away from her. You stay away from everyone in my family. That’s me before dawn powerwash.

[ Piano playing ]

Jack: I have never seen you more beautiful more radiant and more alive.

Diane: That’s because I’m about to spend the rest of my life with the love of my life.

Jack: I promised you the wedding of your dreams. Have you made any decisions? Destination wedding, something closer to home? Barefoot on the beach? Five stars, the whole works?

Diane: I don’t care if we have fireworks and a parade or we just go down to the justice of the peace. I just want to be your wife, jack. The sooner, the better.

Phyllis: So, christine put out an apb on me. Wow, she must be loving this. You know, she’s not gonna be happy until she sees me in handcuffs, walking into that police station with the cameras rolling.

Daniel: Well, you were pretty horrible to her back in the day.

Phyllis: I wasn’T.

Summer: Can we focus? We have another situation.

Phyllis: What is it?

Summer: I told grandma and grandpa that you’re alive, and about stark.

Phyllis: Summer! Victor and nikki? Why’d you do that?

Summer: Because they were downstairs in the dining room, and jack and diane were there.

Phyllis: Oh, really? Was diane having a victory meal? Was she– I mean, I shouldn’t feel bad because she’s living her life free and clear, blah, blah, blah, right?

Daniel: So you told them, but you didn’t tell kyle?

Summer: Daniel, you’re the one that already told everyone, so yeah, I just– I would rather them hear it from me.

Phyllis: So you know what this means, huh? I mean, victor is gonna get his personal security on me. I mean, they’ll find me immediately. I– I should just turn myself in.

Daniel: That would be the right thing to do.

Summer: Oh, my god, stop with the whole “right thing.” The right thing is to protect our mom until we can clear her of stark’s murder.

Phyllis: I agree with summer on that, daniel.

Daniel: Cool. Great. You agree with summer on that. Do you have a plan, then?

Phyllis: I actually do. So, I hacked in to all of stark’s personal records and accounts. I just need to find a paper trail to show what a horrible person he was. He was gonna keep me as a prisoner in that room, daniel. He was gonna keep me as a prisoner. Honestly, it was his life or mine!

Daniel: Did you have any luck with it?

Phyllis: I need to find the emt. His name is carson. That’s why we need all the help we can get.

Summer: Unless your conscience is gonna be a problem, daniel?

Daniel: Okay, look. Things are moving fast, so we need to get out ahead of them. First order of business, finding you a different place to hide. We need some place isolated, and some place that’s a hell of a lot safer than here. Summer. Any ideas?

Summer: I need to sleep on it. I’ve been gone for way too long, and you know what? I gotta go. I don’t want kyle to worry about me, so I’m gonna check in with you both in the morning.

Kyle: What the hell?

Cameron: Hey, slick. Long time, no see. I’m guessing you haven’t missed me about as much as I haven’t missed you.

Nick: You better get outta here before I tear you apart.

Sharon: Nick…

Cameron: Always a hothead. Hey. Nothin’ to see here, boss. Just stopped in to say hi. Hi. Hi. Oh. You know, I ran into your daughter, faith.

Nick: Now, you watch your mouth.

Cameron: Polite little girl. And such a little beauty. Just like her mama.

Nick: You don’t talk about her, you don’t even say her name.

Cameron: No, I come in peace, man. You’re threatenin’ violence?

Nick: Oh, that’s not a threat. That’s a promise.

[ Cameron whistling ]

Cameron: You really hold a grudge.

Nick: What do you want?

Cameron: Oh. That’s for another time, nicholas. Y’all have a nice night. Hmm.

[ Sharon sobbing ]

Announcer: Next week, on the young and the restless.

Kyle: How long have you known phyllis was alive?

Victor: You realize that a move like that would put you in direct competition with newman media?

Adam: Exactly.

Sharon: Stay close, and be careful.

Faith: I will.

[ Dramatic music ]

Deacon: Is it really that farfetched? You and me back together again? I mean, think about it. Remember in the beginning, how much passion there was? Hell, it was chemical. That’s how hope got here.

Brooke: I’m aware.

Deacon: Maybe this is our time, our chance to be a real family.

Brooke: You and I have a very special friendship and we share a remarkable daughter. And I really am flattered that you want to see where this could go, but where is all of this coming from?

Taylor: What if– what if

everything works out

and you have a future with

brooke and hope has her family

back together?

You’re the key to breaking us

out of this terrible,

toxic cycle.

Ridge: What is– what is happening right now?

Taylor: I don’t knoW.

Ridge: I don’t know either. Are you– are you happy? Are you sad? Are you–

Taylor: I am– I am happy and sad. It’s everything that we were just talking about. The– the life we shared, our kids. It just got to me.

Ridge: Okay.

Hope: Oh.

Rj: Oh, I’m so sorry. I totally– I thought I locked that.

Hope: Yeah, sure. I bet you were hoping it would be one of the modelS.

Rj: Well, I was just upstairs using the gym. I don’t know, I thought I’d pick out a clean shirt.

Hope: Yeah. You know, you gotta keep fit for all those likes.

Rj: Oh, yeah. Can you tell?

Hope: Okay. All right. Pick out a shirt.

Rj: I mean, I’ve been really trying to live a healthy lifestyle. Go to the gym all the time. I mean, I feel like I have to if I’m gonna be in front of the camera.

Hope: YeaH. No, I– I get it. You know, you’re in the public eye. Perception is everything, right or wrong. Uh, first impressions do matter.

Rj: Yeah, I mean, image is important, but you already knew that, miss hope for the future. I actually wanted to talk to you. I’m glad I ran into you. I wanna talk about something.

Hope: Yeah. Sure. What’s up?

Rj: I know that mom and taylor are friends now and that’s great. I– I support it, obviously. But, how do you think mom’s really doing?

Brooke: I am touched, really. And this isn’t the first time that you’ve expressed these feelings, interested in sharing a future together. And I’m just curious why you think it’s a real possibility now. Is it because ridge is living with eric?

Deacon: You know what– you know what? Just– just forget it. The last thing I wanted to do was make you feel uncomfortable.

Brooke: No, I’m not feeling uncomfortable. I mean, like I said, I am touched. It’s just–

Deacon: No, brooke. Look, you’re all about ridge, you always will be and I know that, and I know you. I was stupid for listening to someone else.

Brooke: What are you saying? Did somebody put you up to this?

Taylor: Everything is going so wonderful for our family. Steffy and finn and the grandkids are all happy and healthy and thomas is just living his best life.

Ridge: Thomas is on fire right now. His collection’s amazing. And he’s taking it to italy.

Taylor: That’s so exciting. I love– I love that you guys– I– I wish that I could go.

Ridge: You could go to rome?

Taylor: I, well, I mean, for thomas, you know, it’s such a– such a big moment for him and I’d love to be there to support thomas and steffy and… and you.

[Stomach growling]

Hope: You’re a good son.

Rj: Where did that come from?

Hope: I don’t know. It’s just the way you’re concerned about mom.

Rj: I don’t know. I mean, she’s been through so much recently and if something is wrong, I just, you know, I wanna help her if I can.

Hope: Well, i don’t think there’s any reason to worry. I mean, I know I’ve been preoccupied with the relaunch in rome, but I think I would know if something was off.

Rj: Does she spend like a lot of time with taylor or…

Hope: They’ve become really close.

Rj: That’s so crazy to me. It’s gonna take me so long to get used to that. I’m still waiting for like the punch line.

Hope: I– I get it. I get it.

Rj: Can I ask you something? Do you think this whole truce is actually gonna hold up?

Hope: I think mom and taylor are really committed to the pact that they made. And I think they enjoy each other’s company. I think they actually have a lot of fun together. So, if I were a betting woman, I– I would say that this friendship might actually last.

Rj: Well, that’s good. I mean, I’m glad mom has a friend.

Hope: But?

Rj: But is that enough?

Hope: Meaning?

Rj: All the feelings that my mom’s had for my dad? I mean, is she gonna be okay without him?

Ridge: It almost seems like someone is angling for a free trip to rome.

Taylor: No, I just– I mean, I happen to know some people with a private jet.

Ridge: Well…

Taylor: It’s no, it, I– I mean, I would take– I would take any opportunity to go to rome. I– I love it there, but this is such a– such a big moment for our son, you know? Hope for the future is gonna be the– his crowning achievement. I mean, I– I, of course, I want to go there and support him and– and– and be there.

Ridge: I get it. I think it would mean a lot to him.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, I’ve always– I’ve always thought of rome as this, just really happy place that’s just filled with love. Kind of like our family.

Brooke: Did somebody encourage you to reach out to me? Somebody that wants to see us together?

Deacon: I did not say that.

Brooke: Well, you kind of did. I said that you shouldn’t listen to anybody about me.

Deacon: I was projecting into the future, like if somebody were at some point to give me advice.

Brooke: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Good one. Yeah. But I don’t buy it. I think you’re protecting somebody and I know who it is. So, do you want to say her name or should I? It was hope. I’m right, aren’t I? Don’t worry, I’m gonna have a chat with our daughter.

Deacon: Please. Brooke. You got this all wrong.

Brooke: No, I don’T. No, it’s cute, actuallY. It’s cute that she wants her parents together. It’s just a little bit misguided. I mean, she is a grown woman. She has a life of her own. She’s very busy. She needs to focus on her line right now, not on our love life. So, don’t worry, I am– I’m gonna set her straight.

Deacon: Brooke, stop. Look, stop. It’s not hope.

Brooke: If it’s not hope, who is it? Tell me, deacon. If you’re taking an antidepressant

Hope: Have you ever considered that mom might actually enjoy being single? I mean, relationships can be a lot of work, and this– this might be easier. I mean, becoming friends with taylor, keeping their distance from ridge. I mean, it actually might be a healthy change of pace for everyone.

Rj: Yeah. No, it’s definitely a lot different than when we were growing up.

Hope: It certainly was an emotional roller coaster for all of us, but it was especially hard for mom.

Rj: I remember dad would just build her up and make her feel on top of the world and then just break her heart into a million pieces. I tried to close myself off from all of that and stay away from it all the best I could. It was– it was hard. But hey, you know what? It is what it is and you do what you gotta do. And luckily, I had you to normalize everything because without you, that would’ve been very difficult and I hope I’ve expressed to you how much that meant to me, right?

Hope: Oh, you just did.

Rj: You know what? Maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m overthinking all of this. I mean, maybe– maybe mom’s just, she’s ready to be alone and she’s just had enough. It’s just, there’s something– something just doesn’t sit right with me, with her choosing a friendship with taylor over spending the rest of her life with my dad.

Ridge: You, steffy, thomas, you mean the world to me. You know that, right? My beautiful little family.

Taylor: We did good.

Ridge: We did good. We did better than good. We did great.

Taylor: Yeah. We have– we have been through it, haven’t we? Seriously, ridge. We have– we have been on such a journey. And I– I don’t really regret much of it. I– I really don’t, especially the early years that we were together.

Ridge: Hm.

Taylor: I miss us. I– I miss– I miss the times that we shared. I– damn it. I hate that I do, but I– I miss it. And I can’t help but– but– but wonder and think could we– could we ever share those– those things again?

Brooke: Somebody encouraged you to reach out to me. And if it wasn’t hope…

Deacon: It wasn’T.

Brooke: Hm. Well, then who could it be? Okay, this is kind of random, but maybe it’s hollis? ‘Cause you know, I had that date with him. But I pretty much told him it wasn’t gonna go anywhere. But you’re his boss and you’re his friend, he probably just wanted to step aside and clear the path for you.

Deacon: It wasn’t hollis.

Brooke: No? So, if it wasn’t hope and it wasn’t hollis.

Deacon: I’m sorry to cut this short, but duty calls. I gotta get back to the kitchen. It’s always great to see you, but could you do me a favor and just– just forget this? Just– just wipe it, okay.

Brooke: Deacon, wait. This person that wanted to see us together… it– it couldn’t be, it wouldn’t be taylor, right? Oh, my god. Taylor did this? Taylor? Sweet pillows of softness! getting this? Water doesn’t have to be boring. With over 40 delicious flavors, cirkul starts a party for your tastebuds. No sugar, no calories and no artificial flavors. Just good times. Try cirkul, available now at walmart. I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Brooke: So, taylor asked you to come to me and express your feelings and see if we could have a future together.

Deacon: She thought she was helping me.

Brooke: Helping you? I trusted taylor to keep her word. We made a pact, deacon.

Taylor: We will never

fight over ridge again.

Cheers.

Brooke: And I thought our friendship meant as much to her as it did to me.

Deacon: Hey, hey, I know for a fact that’s true.

Brooke: Oh, really? And when did she share that with you? In between pushing us together?

Deacon: Brooke, it wasn’t like that.

Brooke: Well, then what was it like? Really, I’m curious. And when did you two get so close where she can feel like she’s comfortable enough to share love advice with you?

Deacon: First of all, it wasn’t advice. It was more like a suggestion. You know, just telling me that I should put my cards on the table, again. And secondly, we’re not close. She came into the restaurant. We just started talking.

Brooke: Okay, so she came here for a meal?

Deacon: No.

Brooke: No. She came here specifically to talk to you and I know why. And that really hurts because we made a pact and it was about us. We chose ourselves, we chose each other. We chose our friendship, that we weren’t gonna fight over ridge anymore. And now, look, it’s happening all over again, deacon.

Deacon: I’m so sorry about this. Hey, your friendship with her is amazing. Please don’t– don’t let it end over a stupid misunderstanding.

Brooke: Don’T. We both know why taylor’s doing this. I gotta go. It’s time for me to unfriend a friend.

Hope: Here’s what I think. I think you can reach a point in your relationship where the old patterns and the old way of doing things, they just– they don’t work anymore. But, I think a part of mom will always love ridge.

Deacon: I warned you, taylor.

Taylor: I miss the little things. I miss the way that you– you look through me, right into my soul.

Ridge: But I thought you’d–

Taylor: I– I have stayed away, ridge. I have stayed away with false bravado, convincing myself I was done.

Ridge: And your friendship with brooke?

Taylor: Yes, the vow that we made, friendship first. But I don’t think that brooke has held up her end of the bargain very well when it comes to you. But I don’t know. Maybe, you know, neither one of us can pretend that the– the heart doesn’t want what it wants and I think about you all the time. I– I– I think about falling asleep in your arms and waking up next to you. I just miss the little things, the simple things. I miss you. But I’ve stayed away. I have been so committed to this stupid bestie pact, but brooke hasn’T. She’s been doing the same thing that she’s always done. She’s breaking vows. No honesty, no integrity. She hasn’t changed, ridge. She’s doing the same thing that she’s done before. She’s the same person. Don’t fall for it. Not again.

[ Intercom buzzes ]

Ridge: Yes.

Eric: Ridge, I need to see

you, right away.

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: This is awkward. Just– just go ridge.

Ridge: I’ll be back.

[ Door slamming ]

Brooke: How could you do this, taylor? How could you do this? We made a pact. A pact. I have never felt more betrayed in my life. You– you are a traitor. You are a backstabbing traitor.

[ Sally exhaling sharply ]

[ Sally sighing ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Sally: Oh, nick. Oh, finally.

Chloe: So, I’ve put together a set of cad drawings from our sketches. I’ve got fabric swatches, paint chips. You know, I just think it’s really important to get lily and devon’s eyes on this asap.

Sally: Chloe–

Chloe: So we can get a sense of what they’re– I know what you’re going to say. That they hired us to define their new style for chancellor-winters, but I just think it’s really smart to involve them early on because then we can help guide them to what we are envisioning. What? What’s wrong?

Nick: I want extra guards stationed here and regular checks of the grounds. You see anything suspicious, you let me know. All right. Thanks. All right. Security’s beefed up just in case cameron tries to do something stupid, like come back to genoa city.

Sharon: Thank you.

Nick: I’ll let my dad know too.

Sharon: Well, that makes me feel better, but I don’t– I don’t wanna overreact.

Nick: Sharon, when cameron kirsten’s involved, there’s no such thing as overreacting.

Sharon: I can’t help thinking about those creepy packages. Now, I’m convinced that was blood that we saw on the champagne bottle. And he is trying to send a message with that motel matchbook.

Nick: Try not to let him get in your head.

Sharon: How could I not? They were hand delivered.

Nick: He could have paid someone to do that.

Sharon: Or it could mean cameron’s already here.

Cameron: You okay?

Faith: It was me. I’m an idiot. My boyfriend is always on me not to walk and text.

Cameron: Don’t you hate it when your significant other is right?

Faith: Totally. But I am sorry.

Cameron: No harm, no foul. Let’s just chalk it up to, um, a cautionary lesson.

Faith: I will never multitask while texting again.

Cameron: Yeah. I don’t believe you, but, uh, I appreciate the promise. Hey, are you– are you faith newman?

Faith: I am. Do I know you?

Cameron: This is a small world. I’m an old friend of your parents.

Tucker: Hey.

Ashley: Hi.

Tucker: Ooh, I like your hair that way.

Ashley: [ Laughs ] Thank you. I was just about to text you. I thought you were standing me up.

Tucker: Yeah, I almost did. For our grandson.

Ashley: I thought dominic’s music class was over an hour ago.

Tucker: We had a little jam session afterwards.

Ashley: The two of you?

Tucker: Yes. Him on drums, me on xylophone.

Ashley: Sorry I missed that. I’m sure it was pretty cute.

Tucker: It was. I’m telling you, man, he is a prodigy. And, uh, if our fake engagement becomes in a legit wedding, then I think he– he needs a better gig than ring bearer. He should be, uh, you know, the headliner of the band.

Ashley: Duly noted. Oh, my god. What the hell is she doing here? This is unbelievable. I mean, she’s supposed to be under house arrest. Does she always have to push the limits?

Tucker: What are you doing?

Ashley: I’m gonna call the police. She has to go back to jail. As someone living with type 2 diabetes,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Sally: I was in the park earlier and I had an episode.

Chloe: What does that mean?

Sally: I just felt wobbly. Some double vision.

Chloe: Sally!

Sally: It passed.

Chloe: Well, I hope you checked in with your doctor.

Sally: Yeah, adam took me. She says that I am at risk for preeclampsia.

Chloe: Oh, honey. I’m so sorry.

Sally: I hate this. But my doctor told me that I really need to take it easy for a while.

Chloe: Yeah, of course. Of course. Whatever you need.

Sally: What if it’s everything?

Chloe: No, no. It’s okay. We’ve got this.

Sally: I know, but it’s just when we landed our first client and there is so much to do. I– if we do not impress chancellor-winters, our company is dead in the water. So, I really hate to put this on you, but I’m really gonna need you to take the lead on this for now.

Chloe: Of course. We’re gonna figure this out. Okay? I’ll– I’ll bring the swatches and the paint chips to you. You’ll sign off on all the samples and, you know, you’ll still be involved. Just– just from here.

Sally: I mean, it’s too much.

Chloe: It’s fine. It’s fine, okay? I– I’ll drive everything. I’ll do the in-person meetings until you get the all clear. I just want you to take care of yourself. I don’t want you to risk anything, okay? And I promise, you can trust me to keep this job on track.

Sally: I’m just terrified.

Faith: I’m sorry. Have we met?

Cameron: No, I– I– I did some work with your dad and newman enterprises years ago. And your mom and I, well, we– we go way back. I’m sorry. I’m being rude. I’m– I’m ck. Nice to meet you.

Faith: You too.

Cameron: So, your mom and dad are good?

Faith: Yep. They’re doing great.

Cameron: That’s great. That’s great. Please give ’em my best. Hey, can you do me a favor? I’m– I’m terrible at directions and my phone is dead. So, uh, I have to do this the old fashioned way. Can you point me to that address?

Tucker: Hold on a second. Wait, wait.

Ashley: Why?

Tucker: Well–

Ashley: She’s clearly in violation of her bail restrictions.

Tucker: No, I understand. It’s very suspicious. But in my experience, it’s best to collect all the facts before you–

Ashley: Okay. All the facts are that she’s supposed to be under house arrest. So what else do we need to know?

Tucker: Just humor me a second and let’s consider the consequences of calling the cops.

Ashley: I call the cops. They come, they take her away, and then we don’t have to live with her under the same roof anymore.

Tucker: Okay. The devil’s advocate here. Will diane really be that foolish and brazen?

Ashley: Yes. She faked her death and disappeared for years. So, yes.

Tucker: Why?

Ashley: I don’t know. Maybe she’s going stir crazy. She couldn’t take it anymore. She knows jack will do anything and everything she wants. She’s a very resourceful person. She could have figured out a way to get rid of her ankle monitor and she wouldn’t get caught.

Tucker: Why don’t we go and see what she has to say for herself? Put the screws to her a little bit before we call the cops.

Ashley: Fine. What the hell are you doing here?

Diane: Oh, I imagine the same thing you are. I’m here to enjoy a good meal.

Tucker: I see you took my advice and figured out how to remove the ankle bracelet. Of course, in my scenario, you were meant to disappear.

Ashley: I told you. She thinks she can get away with anything.

Diane: Oh, no. You caught me. What am I gonna do now?

Ashley: Go back to jail where you belong.

Diane: Are you seriously calling the police? Go ahead.

Jack: Don’t even think about it. Overactive bladder? I’ve been there.

Ashley: What the hell is going on? Have you lost your mind?

Jack: You’re the one who’s lost control, ashley. Let it go.

Diane: Oh, jack, you’re spoiling my fun. I wanted to see ashley trying to explain her outrage when the police arrived.

Tucker: So, what’s the joke?

Jack: Christine has dropped all charges. Diane is a free woman.

Ashley: Oh, okay. So what technicality did michael dig up to get you off?

Diane: No technicality. I’ve been innocent all along.

Tucker: The only way they would let you free is if phyllis’s real killer confessed.

Jack: There was no killer.

Diane: Phyllis is alive.

[ Tucker chuckling ]

Nick: Yeah, it was hand delivered, sharon, but I don’t think even cameron’s bold enough to knock on your door, leave that cigar box with all of us inside here.

Sharon: I wish I could agree, but I remember all too well what that monster is capable of. He’s not easily intimidated, nick.

[ Door clicking open ] Oh, my god, that must be faith. Listen, I don’t wanna alarm her unless we know for sure that there is something to worry about.

Nick: Hey.

Faith: Well, I toured all of my regular spots and I can report that not much has changed in genoa city since I’ve been at college.

Sharon: Well, that’s reassuring.

Faith: I’m gonna go grab a snack. Oh, I ran into an old friend of yours. Like, literally nearly knocked the poor guy over. [ Chuckles ]

Nick: What old friend?

Faith: He recognized me somehow, but I had never met him. Uh, he goes by his initials. C something maybe.

Sharon: Ck?

Faith: Yeah, that’s it. Nice guy.

Chloe: Okay. Well, this is a no stress zone for you starting now.

[ Sally sighing ]

[ Sally scoffing ]

Sally: Thank you.

Chloe: And I know what you’re going through. You know, when I was pregnant the first time with delia, um, I fell off a ladder and I thought I was gonna lose her. And then after we got through all of that… um, my little angel decided to come into this world during a snowstorm so far away from any hospital.

Sally: What’d you do?

Chloe: I did what any mom to be does in a crisis. I fought with everything I had to keep her safe. I did. I did that time. At least I did.

Sally: Look, I’m so sorry. I did not mean to bring up any hard memories. I know that you were an amazing mom to her.

Chloe: And I know that you have the same fight in you. So, you just need to grab onto that inner superhero because I promise you that will not be the only crisis you ever deal with in your little girl’s life.

Sally: I really appreciate your support.

Chloe: You know, I gotta say, I was a little surprised that you called adam instead of nick.

Sally: I did call nick, but he didn’t answer. So i– I just tried adam and he came right away.

Chloe: Well, that doesn’t sound like nick.

Sally: Yeah. No, not at all. And I still haven’t heard from him, so I’m really hoping that everything’s okay.

[ Knocking on door ]

Chloe: Ah. Well, look at that. Right on cue. I’m sure that’s him. Oh.

Adam: I, um, I had to come back. (Wheezing)

Sally: I said I was okay.

Adam: Well, if you’re going to stay put, you’re gonna need some snacks and not any old kind. I, uh, checked in with a doctor friend who recommended salt-free and healthy options and bottled water.

Sally: That’s considerate.

Adam: Not really. It was just an excuse to check back in on you, but I see you are in good hands. How is she doing?

Sally: Well, she’s right here and doing fine.

Chloe: And under strict orders from me. Do not stress and not think about work because I’ve got us covered. Which reminds me, I need to get to that meeting at the office furniture showroom. Um, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but, um, I’m happy that you’re here so I can pass the baton.

Adam: Uh, baton accepted.

Chloe: And I heard you stepped up today. So, um, you know, I’m– I’m glad that you’re doing the right thing.

Adam: I’m– I’m glad sally felt that way.

Chloe: Okay. Um, listen, do not stress out. You call me if you need anything and that is an order.

Sally: Thank you.

Adam: Well, you might change your mind once you try the, uh, salt free options.

Sally: I mean, for coming back.

Sharon: Here. Is this him?

Faith: That’s him. But this article says that he was arrested. What’s going on and why did you call chance when I mentioned his name?

Nick: That man is extremely dangerous, faith.

Sharon: If you see him again, you steer clear. You understand me?

Nick: And then you call us immediately and then chance.

Faith: Now, you’re freaking me out.

[ Knocking on door ]

Nick: Hey, thanks for getting here so quickly.

Chance: Yeah, I got your message. Faith saw this guy? Oh, hey. You wanna tell me exactly what happened?

Sharon: Yeah. Go ahead, sweetheart.

Faith: It was nothing really. It seemed like no big deal. I was texting and walking and bumped into him. We laughed about it. He recognized me, which I guess was weird since we’ve never met.

Chance: Anything else? Or was that it?

Faith: He asked how my mom and dad were. Then he needed directions. Uh, said his phone had died. So, I looked up the address for him and told him how to get there. Some bar. Hold on.

Chance: All right, give me a second. Hey, it’s chancellor. I need you to send an officer over to a bar on the south side of town. I’m gonna text you over a name, address, and a picture of this guy we’re looking for. I think he might be there. All right, thank you.

Sharon: That’s near the motel where–

Nick: There’s no way he’s there. He’s just sending another one of his sick messages.

Sharon: Okay. Well, this time, he used our daughter to do it.

Chance: We’ve gotta follow up on this lead. See if he was there and see if he talked to anybody. It’s the only thing we have to go on right now.

Faith: Will someone please tell me what’s going on?

Jack: And chance was able to prove daniel’s story that he saw phyllis and that she was alive.

Diane: They found a program from phyllis’s memorial at the motel.

Jack: And they pulled dna and fingerprint evidence from it to prove that phyllis was alive after her own memorial.

Diane: Which means that I didn’t kill phyllis the night of the gala, which I’ve been telling everyone all along.

Ashley: Why are you looking at me like that?

Diane: Well, because if I was someone who thought the worst of everyone, like you do, I might think that this was a plan hatched by the coven.

Ashley: The what?

Diane: The coven. You, nikki and phyllis have been out to get me since I came back to town.

Ashley: Okay.

Diane: I wouldn’t have put it past the three of you to try to frame me for phyllis’s murder.

Ashley: Moving on, it’s– it’s a wonderful thing that phyllis is alive. I mean, for daniel, for summer. It’s a miracle, really.

Diane: Yeah. It is. Well, of course, I hate that summer has been thinking the worst of me too when it was her mother that was clearly in on this with jeremy stark. She admitted as much to her son.

Ashley: Right. Well, maybe you can explain why phyllis would be driven to do such a thing since you did the same thing yourself.

Jack: Enough, you have been hurling accusations at her for weeks now. All of it has been proven false. You can’t cut her a break?

Tucker: You know, you really gotta hand it to phyllis. I mean, it was almost the perfect revenge play.

Jack: Oh, phyllis is definitely going to be punished. She’s not getting away with this.

Diane: No, but right now, it’s about celebrating. Would you care to join us for some champagne?

Ashley: No, thank you.

Diane: Oh, well, we can toast at home.

Ashley: This day has just gotten a lot worse.

Tucker: Yeah. Let’s look on the bright side.

Ashley: What bright side?

Tucker: We’re not living with a murderer.

Ashley: Yeah. The way I see it though, this nightmare with diane has just begun. Febreze!

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Sharon: I’m not trying to hide anything from you.

Faith: Okay. Then tell me who ck is.

Sharon: He is a painful part of my past. It’s very difficult to talk about.

Faith: You’re obviously upset and I don’t wanna make you feel worse, but you guys have me worried.

Nick: I’ll tell you what. Let’s give your mom some time. Can you please, for now, just accept the fact that ck is a very dangerous person, and he needs to be avoided at all costs?

Faith: Of course. But I hope that you talk to me about it at some point. I’m not a kid anymore.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Chance: Okay, I just got a confirmation that cameron is not at the bar. And according to the bartender, he hasn’t been there all day.

Sharon: Then nick was right. It was just another tactic to get to me and it worked.

Nick: Do you have enough now? Clearly, this run-in with our daughter was planned. He’s not hiding out. He is taunting sharon. Can you at least find out where he’s staying?

Chance: Nick. You wanna put this guy away for good, right? Then, we have to play this by the book. I do not have enough to arrest him. I don’t even have enough to question the guy. So, I’m gonna get some units to canvas the hotels and motels in the area. Let’s get some eyes on him, and we’ll go from there.

Nick: All right. I’m gonna get my dad’s security team on this toO. Oh, when did I miss this?

Sharon: What is it?

Nick: Sally’s trying to get ahold of me.

Sharon: Oh, well, I hope everything is okay.

Nick: Hey, it’s, uh– it’s me. Sorry I missed your call. Um, call me back, okay? All right, bye. Went to voicemail.

Sharon: All right, well, maybe, you should go. Uh, we’re fine here, and you have alerted ranch security, chance is here.

Nick: Okay. Okay, I will come back by here after I check in with her, okay?

[ Door clicks closed ]

Ashley: I mean, obviously, I’m thrilled that phyllis is alive. That goes without saying. But I’m worried that it’s gonna make diane think that she’s invincible.

Tucker: She’s not wasting any time rubbing our noses in it, that’s for sure.

Ashley: I was worried about this from the very beginning, because she’s gonna convince jack that she deserves some kind of a reward for everything that she’s gone through.

Tucker: Yeah, and jack is doubling down on his defense of her obviously.

Ashley: Yes, and… she’s gonna use that to get her claws into jabot. I’ve gotta protect my family.

Tucker: How do you plan to do that?

Ashley: You. Yeah, you. If I’m gonna protect my family right from her greedy hands, I need a support system. I need an ally and a partner.

Tucker: Uh-oh. [ Laughs ]

Ashley: What?

Tucker: I can just see that brilliant brain of yours working away.

Ashley: Mm, I gotta do something that just stops diane in her tracks before she marries my brother and has even more power.

Adam: Our little girl’s gonna be strong, fierce. From what I know about the spectra women, uh, our little girl already has a lot going on for her. And my mother, hope, she– she had a lot of strength too. Hardy farm stock, as they used to say in kansas.

Sally: [ Laughs ] I’m sorry. I just still find it hard to believe that you grew up on a farm.

Adam: Says the carnival gypsy?

Sally: Hey, my background makes a lot of sense for who I am. I’m tough, adventurous, itinerant. So, I’m really trying to change that, ’cause I want stability for this child. But you on the other hand, nothing about adam newman says, I grew up shoveling manure.

[ Adam laughing ]

Adam: Hey, I will have you know that I once birthed a calf.

Sally: Get out.

Adam: I will spare you the details, but just suffice it to say I would be a rock in the delivery room.

Sally: Look, I know you’re busy at mccall, so I– I don’t wanna keep you.

Adam: No, I mean… nothing is more important than being here with you.

[ Knocking on the door ]

Nick: Sally, it’s nick. I got your messages.

[ Adam clears throat ] Adam? What’s going on? What happened?

If you, like many people,

Adam: Nick, glad you could make it. Um, I’ll let you take over from here. Enjoy the snacks. Check back in with you later?

Sally: Thank you for everything. It meant a lot.

Adam: Take care of her.

Nick: Yeah. Always. What’s going on?

Sally: I had a scare. I just felt a little dizzy. Some double vision. Anyway, long story short, the doctor says that I’m at risk for preeclampsia.

[ Nick sighing ] And has ordered me to take it easy.

Nick: I’m so sorry, I– I got your messages. I tried to call back, it went straight to voicemail. I took a chance that you’d be here.

Sally: Yeah. Chloe turned off my phone so I could rest. I’m just really glad you’re here.

Nick: Well, I guess, I owe adam a big thank you.

Sally: He was really great, to be honest.

[ Sally sighing ] And I admit, it was scary. I’m still worried.

Nick: Yeah, well, you just– you gotta do what your doctor said. Sally, you gotta take it easy.

Sally: Yeah, no, I’m– I’m following all the orders, I– chloe put this blanket on me. Adam got me some snacks. I am– I’m doing all the right things.

[ Nick chuckles softly ]

Nick: I feel awful. It’s awful that I wasn’t here for you.

Sally: Yeah, I admit, I was starting to worry. Why did it take you so long to get my messages? You’re normally, really responsive. Is everything okay?

Jack: To you. To your indomitable spirits, to your courage to keep going, to keep fighting when others would’ve given up.

Diane: To you. To the man who gave me that courage. Who kept me going. To the man that I will be forever grateful to and for.

Ashley: Oh, god, I just find them both so nauseating. It just makes me wanna focus that much harder on my plan.

Tucker: Do you care to fill me in?

Ashley: I think that our fake engagement, we could actually use it to our benefit ’cause it’s the perfect distraction to make a move against diane.

Tucker: Uh-huh. What move is that?

Ashley: Okay, well, I– I know that it was billy who told jack, right? I know. But that’s okay, I figured he would, and I can work around him, right? ‘Cause I’ve already reached out to the board, so I know what we can do.

Tucker: Yeah, you– you keep saying “we,” but you’ve only mentioned things you’re doing.

Ashley: I want you to come work with me at jabot.

[ Tucker laughs ] What? Strike the numbers.

Tucker: Oh, honey. I love how your mind works, you know that, but… I think you should consider the possibility that you are taking this whole thing way too seriously and putting way too much energy into it. You are talking about the possibility of alienating both of your brothers. Where’s the rest of the family gonna fall if you– if you draw these battle lines?

Ashley: Well, I have to make them realize that the cost is gonna be huge if we let diane get what she wants.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. What if… you just let jack and diane have their happiness?

Ashley: No. Absolutely not. That would give– that would give diane a stronghold at jabot.

Tucker: What if you let her?

Ashley: Why would I do that?

Tucker: Because you don’t need jabot. Hell, you don’t even need the abbott family, for that matter. You know, you and i could build something that would tower over jabot.

Chelsea: Hey. I’m glad I ran into you. Um, I need to talk to you about connor.

Adam: Um, is– there’s something wrong?

Chelsea: Well, that’s what has me concerned. Have you noticed he’s been on edge lately?

[ Adam clears throat ] I feel like his moods are all over the place.

Adam: Uh, it’s probably– it’s just a phase.

Chelsea: Well, do you think it’s like a pre-teen thing or something we should be concerned about? I just hope he goes back to his normal self before the baby’s born, adam, because it’s gonna be a huge adjustment for him.

Adam: What do you want from me? W– w– do you wanna ask me something?

Chelsea: Excuse me? Forget it, adam. Forget I said anything.

Adam: No, look, I’m sorry. Chelsea, I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t mean to snap at you. Of course, I care about what’s going on with connor. I just–

[ Adam sighing ] There’s just– there’s something bothering me.

Chelsea: What is it?

Adam: There might be a problem with the baby. Type 2 diabetes? I got this mountain bike for only $11. Dealdash.Com the fair and honest bidding site. This kitchenaid mixer sold for less than $26. This I-pad sold for less than $43. And this playstation 5 sold for less than a dollar. I won these bluetooth headphones for $20. I got these three suitcases for less than $40. And shipping is always free. Go to dealdash.Com right now and see how much you can save. Want a smarter way to mop?

Chelsea: Oh, adam. I’m really sorry. Must be very difficult watching nick and sally together. I imagine you feel like a bit of an outsider.

Adam: You know, I was able to be there for her today because she couldn’t reach nick. It just– it stings that I wasn’t her first call. I’m the baby’s father. But I get why it might be confusing for connor. I mean, maybe, that’s what’s going on with him. I know it’s not, uh, an ideal way to bring a baby into a family.

Chelsea: Well, you can’t beat yourself up because of that. From where I’m standing, you’re doing everything you can to support sally, while also not getting into it with nick.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: I mean… what else can you do?

Adam: Well, I’m supposed to be focused on work. Fixing this wreck of a company that victor entrusted me to. And I– I just– I can’t think about mccall at all. All I can think about is sally and the baby.

Nick: It’s nothing to worry about. I was just dealing with some family stuff.

Sally: Well, baby girl and i are a part of that family now, right?

Nick: Of course, you are.

Sally: So tell me.

Nick: It’s just a boring newman business. And you’re not supposed to have any negative thoughts in your head, just positive stuff. So, how about if I put some of those in instead?

Sally: What did you have in mind?

Nick: Come on.

Sally: I am supposed to keep my heart rate down.

Nick: I know. I’m just gonna activate my superhuman spooning skills.

[ Sally chuckling ]

Sally: You are brilliant at making me feel like everything’s gonna be okay.

Nick: Good. I promise you it is. Come on.

[ Sally sighing ]

Tucker: Just think of it. You making all the sound business decisions, laying waste to our competitors. We’d be unstoppable.

Ashley: You make it sound a little enticing.

Tucker: What’s stopping us?

Ashley: Me. Clearly, I’m not as enlightened as you are. I just don’t want diane to win, sorry.

Tucker: Terrible reason.

Ashley: It’s a good reason.

Tucker: Oh, no, no. Look, I got all this cash from the sale of mccall. You can have jack buy you out at jabot. Huh? Think of what we could do. You could pursue all those innovations you dreamed of. No board, no ceo to deal with.

Ashley: Very sexy.

Tucker: Yeah?

Ashley: I’m not sure if this is a pitch or a seduction.

Tucker: Maybe, it’s both, baby.

[ Ashley chuckling ] No, but really. Not only would it be the best business decision you’ve ever made, but it would be a ball. Am I wrong? You and me in sync? We forget all about what’s her name over there?

Ashley: Hm. What’s her name? Maybe, um– maybe, you should, uh, continue to make your case someplace a little bit more private.

Tucker: Now, you see, that’s the kind of million dollar idea that I’m talking about.

Ashley: Okay.

Jack: Okay, why do I get the feeling those two are up to something?

Diane: Oh, who cares? I’m having too much fun with you to let them spoil my mood. In fact… [ Clicks tongue ] Let’s keep the celebration going.

Jack: Oh, I like this idea. So, what’s next?

Diane: Hm.

Chance: Are you sure you’re okay?

Sharon: Um, we’ll be fine. You need to get to work.

Chance: All right, well, I spoke with ranch security. They’re on top of it. I checked all the windows and the back doors. Everything’s sealed shut. I want you to lock this door after I leave and just stay on high alert, okay? And call me if you need anything.

Sharon: We will. Thank you.

[ Sharon sighing ] Okay. I know you have questions.

Faith: A few, but if you’re not ready to talk about it…

Sharon: No. You deserve to know what we’re dealing with. I’ll tell you exactly who this monster is.

[ Cameron sighing ]

Sharon: Nicholas newman is my husband.

Cameron: [ Chuckles ] Well, this small world just got a little smaller.

Sharon: Actually, when I– when I saw you in nick’s office, I was hoping that you wouldn’t remember.

Cameron: Yeah, I bet you were. But I do remember.

Sharon: Please, won’t you listen to me? I am not the woman you met in denver.

Cameron: Yeah, you are.

Sharon: No, I was not myself then, I was–

Cameron: You are the same woman now as you were then. And you are very hot.

Sharon: Are you gonna tell nick?

[ Cameron clicks tongue ]

Cameron: That depends. See, I live my life the way I do business. A good deal is where everybody gets something… and everybody gives up something. The night that we met in the motel, I thought we were gonna hook it up, but, uh, well, then, you decided to hit me over the head with that bottle.

Sharon: You were trying to rape me.

Cameron: You know what? I– I– I still– I can’t believe how strong you were. The way you could drag me down all those steps. I didn’t think a little girl like you could do that, huh?

Sharon: I thought you were dead.

Cameron: Yeah. Obviously. When I came to a couple hours later behind that dumpster, covered in snow, frozen… I don’t think I have ever been angrier in my life.

Sharon: And that’s when you decided to destroy me.

Cameron: What are you talking about, destroy you? Honey, you’re my dream girl. You just weren’t being that cooperative. So, I need to talk to gabe about frank’s demise. All right. You know what? That’s all in our past. You are here now. I’m here. We’re together. And I love you.

[ Cameron sighing ]

Sharon: The vineyard just sounds so familiar to me, and yet, I can’t place it.

Adam: Well, what did the card say?

Sharon: Said, “memories are what life is made of.”

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

spencer: Finally. Do you have an y idea how hard I had to work to defend your chaises — the dirty looks that I’ve gotten, the oh-so-polite questions from the staff about when the rest of my party will be joining me? Well, I-I-I’m sure it was a hideous strain, but thank you for enduring it on our behalf. How can we ever repay you? For you? I’ll think of something. Joss doesn’t owe me anything. She doesn’t? No, I wasn’t saving the chaise for her, but I knew that she would be with you and that you’d want her to have one. Spencer. Don’t worry. I still get a chaise out of it.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, my god. Are you two gonna do this all day? Possibly. Just like old times. Before the dna test results.

[ Laughing ] Before the sec charges. Before greenland. Okay, I’m gonna get a towel.

[ Sighs ] Only one missing is cameron. Can you not make this weird? I won’t make this weird. He might, though. Oh. Hey. Oh.

[ Chuckles ] There’s a fresh pot of coffee on. And I got some fresh fruit. There’s eggs in the fridge if you want them. It’s not — I’m not a houseguest. I can make my own breakfast. Yeah. I-I guess I’m just adjusting to you being back home. I really wasn’t sure that you would come back home after learning that, um, trina is your biological daughter. May I ask what made you decide to stay?

[ Doorbell rings ] Good morning. Mom. Thanks. I needed this. Clearly, you do. Mm. You forgot we were meeting for coffee.

[ Sighs ] I-I’m sorry. It’S… it’s been a rough morning. It completely slipped my mind. Molly spent the night at her mom’s house. Did something happen? Mom, I really messed up.

[ Knock on door ] Hello, laura. Valentin. I believe you have something that belongs to me. Why am I under arrest?

[ Door closes ] Do you read the sun? I don’t read that rag. You should. The wsb got wind last night that you made the front page. Agent devane, any idea who would have blown your cover? Victor…


Quite a welcome. Well, I’m excited to see you. I didn’t think you’d show up. Well, I can’t say no to you, but I’m not sure your plan’s gonna work. Spencer hates my guts, and I don’t see that changing. Doesn’t he have some crimes to commit? Kneecaps to break? Suckers to punch? Joss invited him. Uh-huh. And when is she gonna realize that he’s a dead-end loser and dump him? Dex is important to her, and we’re all spending time together, unless you want to lose josslyn as your friend. It wouldn’t be the first friend that I’ve lost to dex. Cameron got a soccer scholarship at stanford. Dex’s relationship with josslyn didn’t force him to leave. No, but it certainly made things easier, didn’t it? Look, I know that if push came to shove, josslyn would choose me over dex.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, yeah. Josslyn is definitely dumping dex to stay friends with you.

[ Laughs ] Whatever. Look, josslyn may forget about cameron, but I won’T. Spencer. No hard feelings? Stella. Please — please, come in. I was just heading off to work. Stella: Oh. Is marshall here? I just came by for his gumbo recipe. Oh, he’s out. But I can tell him that you stopped by. Is that why you came by, auntie? To chat about gumbo? Marshall called me last night, and he told me about trina’s paternity. I thought it was time for you and I to clear the air. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to open a vein. Feel free to unload on me anytime. What’s going on with you and molly? Or is it none of my business? You know molly and i have been talking about starting a family? We met with dr. Navarro. We’re having some fertility issues. Oh. Honey, I’m so sorry. Things got really tense between us. I said some things that I-I shouldn’t have. Molly raced out of the apartment and went to her mom’S. I spent the night pacing. I… I just want her to come home. She will. You and molly have the kind of partnership everyone dreams about. You’ll get through this. I hope you’re right. I feel like, just when she needed me the most, I pushed her away. You sure about that? You missed the reading of your father’s will. Uh, no, I didn’T. Martin grey filled me in on the details. Oh. So you received your inheritance, then? What, the finger? Yeah, that was cute. I laughed myself silly. Too bad the man’s still dead. Yeah. He managed to get his point across even from the grave, didn’t he? Uh, did you see what he left for anna? He said that he left her the truth, which didn’t make any sense, until I got up and read the morning paper. Yeah, I saw that, too. Anna’s been arrested by the wsb. I didn’t know that. A source of mine at the bureau says that victor obviously stole a copy of anna’s personal file before going missing all those years ago, and he made arrangements to have it made public in the event of his untimely death. The paper claimed to have obtained classified documents from the wsb. Yeah. Well, it’s obvious that my father’s not done ruining people’s lives. Luckily, he won’t have any influence on the younger generation of cassadines. Anyway, I digress. You said that he left something else for me, aside from the finger. It’s not for you. This is for charlotte. I don’t need to read any more of that. It’s my life, after all. Your cover is blown. There is nothing in that article the bureau didn’t know about already. Don’t go any further. We’re doing this by the book. What are we doing? Bring him in. What’s happening? What the — what are you doing here, martin? Valentin called me late last night after he heard you were arrested. You’re gonna have to forgive my appearance. Bureau kept me waiting for hours. So, this arrest is a mistake. Someone overreacted without talking to the higher-ups. On the contrary, agent devane. You’re being accused of a crime against the state. What crime? Treason.


Even though it’s meant for charlotte, I thought it was best to give it to you. The cassadine crest? Yeah. I hate that thing. I can’t say I blame you. I kept mine in a box for a lot of years, waiting until I came forward to claim what I thought was my rightful inheritance before I put it on my finger. My first instinct was to throw that thing into the harbor. I mean, it represents everything I loathe about the cassadines, everything that i don’t want my grandchild to be, but, I mean [Sighs] It belongs to charlotte. And you’re her father, so you get to decide. Well, I don’t know that throwing it in the harbor will make charlotte any less a cassadine. And my father’s gone, and with him, his influence and his expectations. So it’s my hope that charlotte can create a new legacy for her family. You know, maybe I could move things around at work and stay. No. Thank you, portia. But this conversation between curtis and me is long overdue. I’m the one who’s responsible for the tension between the two of you. Maybe I should stay and be a part of this. Do I wish you had been honest from the beginning? We both know the answer to that. But you’re not entirely to blame. Curtis is a man that wants the truth, and there are some hard truths that I need to tell him. So go on. We’ll be fine. Okay.

[ Door closes ] Okay. So, aunt stella… thank you. So, now that we know that trina is my daughter, do you want to finally explain why you kept that information to yourself? So very glad you could join us. Um, me, too. Can I get anyone any snacks, any drinks? Orange juice. Thanks. Make that two. You got it. I can’t believe that I’m being forced to spend time with that thug. I’m only gonna say this once more — let…it…go. Heller is the one who punched me. I did let it go. I shook the man’s hand, didn’t I? Like he was diseased or something. Okay. I spent enough time taking care of my little brother. Don’t you think that I deserve one single morning with my friends? Maybe you should think about your brother. You are the one that took the first swing at dex, right? Yes. So? If you start another fight, it could possibly blow up into something even worse. You think a judge would be happy to know that you got in trouble again? Is that what a responsible guardian would do? Treason? Are you insane? Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Agent hursley, listen. Now I’m finally in the room, would you mind giving us some time alone? I’d like to speak to my client in private. Of course.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] What is going on? The media. And you’re officially a sitting duck. They’re particularly interested in one aspect of that file victor had released, namely your history as a double agent. The bureau knew about this already. Yeah, well, maybe they did, but the public didn’T. And now the sun’s got hold of it, your name — hell, your entire history — is about to be splashed across the front page of every newspaper, website, cable news broadcast in the entire country. This is bad, anna. Somebody knew how to poke that bear just right. Public’s gonna want answers. They’re gonna think they want justice. How am I supposed to defend myself against accusations that are true?


Coffee? Thank you. You’re welcome. Um, you know, I-I was wondering if you might be able to help me with something. Have you by any chance seen the cassadine property in chechnya? On the terek river? Yes, I have. Several years ago. I had to see it for myself. It’s been in the family for 200 years at least. I’m a little surprised that the soviets didn’t confiscate it, and why it isn’t in the possession of the current government. Well, it seems that victor has left it to nikolas. I think this may be where victor took nikolas to recuperate from… …from when you shot him. That was in self-defense, laura. Let’s not revisit it. Okay. You think that nikolas is at the terek property? I don’t know. It could just be wishful thinking. Well, anything’s possible. But if he is there, given the current political climate, it would be tough for him to leave the country without raising red flags. That’s assuming he wants to leave. Well, I’m sure that he doesn’t, but I have to find him and bring him home. Fine. I will play nice with that, um, dex, but I’m not gonna forgive him for what he did to cameron. We may never know exactly what happened between joss and cam, but everyone could see that it wasn’t working at the end. But now cam has a scholarship at stanford, and joss and dex, they seem really happy together. Dex: Thank you. Doesn’t joss deserve that? Aww, thank you. Josslyn: Here you go. Thank you. I’m sorry about the punch yesterday. I’m sorry I hit you in the face. Yeah. Yeah, you got me pretty good. You don’t seem to have a mark on you, though. Well, I can teach you how to block. Never mind. No, go ahead. Dex: It’s like, when you swung the way you did, right? You shoot this gap here… josslyn: Oh! …Then if you throw up here, you can block that, too. And then your right… spencer: Oh, I see. Molly. It’s been a while. I know. It’s been too long. We have to put something on the calendar. I’ll text you with some dates. And, if you’ll excuse me, I, uh, need to check in with the station. Be good. I’ll try. Did you get a good night’s sleep at your mom’s? I tossed and turned all night. What about you? Same. Spending the night apart is not fun. I’m sorry I spent the night away. I-I just needed some time to think. You have nothing to apologize for. I was the one who was totally inconsiderate. My words came out wrong. I don’t blame you. I never would. Can you forgive me? No word from the wsb on anna devane’s arrest? Let me know if you hear anything. Thanks. I hope I’m not interrupting anything. No, not at all. What’s on your mind? I was just wondering if you had spoken with — with taggert at all recently? No. Why? Because he might need a friend right about now.

[ Sighs ] The dna results came back. And curtis is trina’s father. Yeah. Why didn’t I tell you that I suspected trina might be your daughter? Fair question. One I have been asking myself lately. Were you able to find the answer? I’m — I’m — I’m just trying to get back to the day of your wedding and why I couldn’t officiate at your wedding. You said something about your conscience. Yeah. I couldn’t — I couldn’t in good conscience marry you and portia, knowing that portia hadn’t told you that you might be trina’s father. And I didn’t feel like I could be the one to tell you. I convinced myself of that, that I shouldn’t interfere because… you and portia just seemed so happy, and I didn’t want to get in the way of that. Okay. So, what changed? Why now? Ultimately, I caused more pain and heartache by keeping silent. And I’m sorry. I hope you can forgive me. Early in my career, you know I was compromised by the dvx, specifically cesar faison.

[ Sighs ] I thought I could outwit him, but I couldn’T. And so I ended up leaving here for a bit, and, uh… and then I came back, eventually. And I gave them full disclosure. I told them everything. And I was reinstated. And I have had a clean record ever since. The bureau has trusted me for decades. And none of that’s gonna make any difference to the general public. Anna, that article does a good job painting you as a total judas. Trusted agent, somebody with clearance, access to privileged information — somebody who turned around and betrayed her own agency. This is all ancient history. The only difference now is the media spotlight, and the fact that frisco has been replaced as director, yeah. And now the bureau wants to distance themselves from my actions. They’re charging me with treason to cover their own asses. Exactly. That is exactly what they’re doing. Which is why valentin was right to call me. It’s time for me to protect you. This isn’t cloak and dagger. It’s public. It’s federal. And that story is not going away.


Do you want to go to chechnya to look for nikolas? Didn’t we do that for charlotte? No. Charlotte was in a boarding school in switzerland, not exactly a war-torn country, and charlotte wanted to come home. We don’t know what nikolas would want. Yeah, well, I-I’m not that concerned about what my son wants. He is needed here. Oh, he’s certainly wanted by the pcpd. And I’m sure that he’s going to face some very unpleasant consequences for his behavior. He held a pregnant woman in a tower at wyndemere. At least he’ll be back in port charles. He’ll be near his sons. Okay. What about the people in port charles who need you? That’s not a very safe part of the world. What happens if you don’t come home safely? You know, I just can’t think about that. I feel like… I feel like a part of me is missing. I need to find that part, just to… just to be whole again. Okay, I understand. And if you’re not gonna worry about your safety, then somebody has to. So if you’re going to go to chechnya, I insist I go with you. You understand — I know. I know. You said you were gonna do this. Alright, you gotta hear me out. Just hear me out. Alright? Please. We have different rules and procedures here. Listen to me. Listen to me. I’m sure you do, and right now, I really don’t care. I’ve been sitting out there growing old, drinking bad coffee, waiting to do my job, and you’re going to let me do it.

[ Scoffs ] I don’t know a whole lot about the inner workings… you don’t know anything about how it works here. But I know you need legal representation. Valentin was crystal clear. I’m sure he was. Now, you’re not the only person in the world who’s good at their job. I’m already on retainer to valentin. He’s ordered me to protect you, and I will comply. Fine. Fine. We’re ready for you.

[ Door closes ] Agent devane, I trust your lawyer has brought you up to speed? Yes. That the bureau is hanging me out to dry. Yep, I’m aware. Agent hursley, there’s something I don’t understand. Perhaps you can help me out. Now, she’s been perfectly honest about her history with the dvx for years now, and since that time, she’s proven over and over again that she’s shrewd, loyal, courageous — hell, she’s a solid-gold asset to the bureau. Why, all of a sudden, is her dedication being called into question? It doesn’t matter that we appreciate agent devane’s work. Our hands are tied. Her entire dossier has been released, and the public knows that she’s never been held accountable for her crimes. Not until now. Don’t dunk me. Don’t splash me or immerse any part of my body. Is that the trina robinson pool rules? Set in stone, my friend. Set in stone. Thank you for what you did before. Getting trina an orange juice? No, not punching spencer. Mm. Mm-hmm. He’s not so bad. He’s crazy about her. I think they might actually be in love. For spencer, that means showing off, which is counterproductive, because trina hates when he does that. But he knows you’re ex-military, and I think he just wanted to prove that he was tougher than you and couldn’t, so he’s embarrassed. Well, I figured. But look, we’re gonna be spending a lot of time together, hopefully poolside, and I want your friends to like me. I like you. The feeling is mutual. I was surprised you wanted to do this today. I thought you’d want to be at the hospital. No, um, there is something that I have to talk to you about, though. With willow? Is she okay? No, no, no. She’s great… considering everything. Her doctors are super optimistic. It’s about michael. Things are pretty bad between us right now. Because of me? No, because of everything. Everything’s just gotten spun out of proportion. I’m really sorry. How can I help? We should… go somewhere private. To talk. Thank you. For what? For making an effort. I know it wasn’t easy. Well, as long as we don’t have to hang out all the time. Probably not. But I know joss appreciates it. So do I. Joss? No, no. I’m doing this for you. Thank you. With everything else going on in my life, I don’t want to worry about my friendships. Yeah. I didn’t want to pry, but if you want to talk, I’m here. I honestly don’t know what to say or how to feel. I knew that it could be a possibility that curtis could be my father. But now I know the truth, and it makes me wonder if I should have even asked the question in the first place. It’s been a huge shock for everyone. But taggert, I can’t imagine how he’s feeling right now. Like, he lost his daughter. Not that he would ever, ever say anything like that. Well, taggert doesn’t care about dna. He only cares about trina. Still, I’m really worried about him. I mean, his relationship with trina is just — it’s just so special. I just think that he could really use someone to talk to right now, and I’m so glad that he has a friend in you. Sure. I’ll talk to taggert. Okay. Not to intrude, but… how is curtis handling the news? Auntie, of course I forgive you, but I’m not trying to sit here and listen to a lecture about family. I know. Not right now. Okay. I know we have a lot of issues to work through, and I’m gonna do everything I can to make things right between us again. But right now, I need you to know how much I care about you. You just had life-changing news, and you need the support of your family. Because it’s not only about you. You are a father. You have a daughter now. And believe me when I say that changes everything.


you’re talking about alleged crimes that are decades old. That’s not who she is, and you know it. What about the — the valor, the bravery she displayed in the last two weeks alone. She got out of a hospital bed to take on victor cassadine, stopped him from deploying a pathogen that might have wiped out millions. Martin, just stop. Just stop. You’re wasting your breath. The new head of the wsb can no longer turn a blind eye to the agency’s past. If agent devane chooses to dispute the charges, the bureau might need to take a closer look at robert scorpio or annie donely or any other colleagues who might be stained by her misdeeds. Just hang on a minute. If I’m being asked to do what I think I’m being asked to do, then I need assurance. Well, no — no, no, no. We’re not in the business of negotiating with double agents. Oh, really? That’s a shame. Because what if my file is incomplete? Suppose there are other missions I undertook — other black ops that didn’t make it into my dossier, didn’t make it into the wsb official books. Suppose I have evidence of these hypothetical ops hidden in some secure location — evidence of activities that would seriously embarrass the wsb far more than whatever news is being tallied around. Is that a threat? Oh, no. I think what anna’s saying is — what I’m saying is if anything happens to robert or annie or anyone else I care about, I am taking the bureau down with me! Okay, so my mom has the chance to avoid these insider trading charges if she gives evidence against sonny. Would she do it? No, of course not. She won’t even consider it. But she doesn’t have to, because I can do it for her. Do you regret taking the dna test? No. Not at all. I just miss my family the way they were. Mm. Well, you’ll find your way back to them. It’ll be different, but the bottom line is that you and your mother have always had a great relationship. You know I’ve always been jealous of it. Yeah. I mean, it could be way worse. At least everyone’s healthy and safe and relatively sane. Spencer. Hm? Where’d you go? I’m sorry. I was just thinking about something that my uncle victor told me in his will. He said… he said something about having to safeguard my family, but all he left me was a key to a safety deposit box. Have you opened the box yet? No. No, come on. Not when I don’t know what I’m gonna find in there, considering everything that he did when he was still alive. Safeguard your family. He meant ace, right? I think so. So the next question is… safeguard your family from whom? Of course I can forgive you, but I understand why you were so confused. I’ve been all over the place. With good reason. I hate that you’ve been in pain and that you went undiagnosed. I should have pushed it with that old ob/gyn. That’s the doctor’s responsibility. I should have listened to your experience, asked for details. That’s the first thing they teach you in med school — you listen to your patient. You respect them. That didn’t happen for you. It’s been a long time since I’ve thought about it. Yes, it was isolating — scary, even — to be told that your pain was all in your head. I’m so sorry. Molly, I promise you, I never have and I never will say that to anyone under my care. I know. That’s why I love you so much. I thought I had to deal with this diagnosis on my own, like always. But now that I’ve told you and my mom and my sisters, I know that that’s not true, because I’m not alone. And if I’m not alone, anything is possible. Trina and I are making progress, but it is not easy. I can’t imagine it would be. So I am just trying to take it slow and make it abundantly clear that I am not trying to replace taggert. And I trust that trina and i can one day develop our own special relationship. You will. May I ask you about ho[ Sighs ] I’m not sure, auntie. I am not sure. But you moved back in. I mean, that’s progress, right? It’s possible. Well, what made you move back? A situation arose between jordan and me. Jordan? Yeah. We had been spending some time together. She was helping me through all of this, and, um, it happened. Oh, my goodness. Auntie, I quickly realized that, uh — that I needed — that i wanted to give my marriage to portia a chance. So I came back home. I’m glad to hear that. I truly am. How did jordan take it? Honestly, I don’t know how curtis is doing either. We knew that he could be trina’s biological father, but now that it’s been confirmed, now that we know the truth, I just… at least stella stopped by. So I’m hoping maybe he’ll be able to talk things out with her. Stella is back in town? Yeah. Yeah. She came back to check on trina after everything that happened in greenland. So I’m hoping that when I get home from work, that maybe curtis and stella will have made some progress. Uh, I’m sorry. I’m a little confused. What do you mean, home? I’m sorry. I’m not being clear. I’m all over the place. It’s the one good thing that has given me some hope. Curtis decided to move back home.


You want to go to chechnya with me? Do I want to? No, of course not. But if you are determined to go, I’m not gonna let you go alone. Besides, I know a little russian. I honestly don’t know what to say. Thank you. You don’t have to say anything. Just say you want to do this incredibly dangerous thing and then let me know when we’re leaving. I haven’t spoken to jordan yet. Jordan doesn’t know that you moved back in with portia? It’s not — there’s a lot of moving pieces, auntie. Look, I-I’m in no position to tell you what to do, but, curtis, please don’t wait. You need to talk to jordan, and you need to do it now. Curtis moved back in? Yeah. Yeah. We both decided that it’s the only way to really make our marriage work. What do you mean, “anything is possible”? Well, if you’re open to it, there’s more than one way to start a family. What’s it gonna be? Because unlike the wsb, I do not make idle threats. Your friends are safe. What the hell just happened? Is he gonna go ahead with the charges or not? Not. Why? What was all this about? What did he want? He didn’t want anything. I don’t even think the bureau did. This is all just victor. He wanted my resignation. I’m no longer an agent. Nor will I ever be again. You taking off? We’re going to the bank. What? We need to see who victor thinks is the biggest threat to your family. No, forget it. I don’t exactly trust my not-so-dearly departed uncle. Who would victor see as the biggest threat to your baby brother? How do you expect me to know that? By opening the deposit box now. You’re not gonna take no for an answer, are you? What do you think? Your mom doesn’t want to make a deal with the feds, so you’re going to make one for her? All you have to do is give me the evidence of sonny working with pikeman, and I’ll do what my mom can’t, and I’ll turn sonny in, once and for all.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Don’t worry, mama. I’m sure as soon as Abe sees you, it’ll all come rushing back. Oh. Oh, oh my, my God. Well, where is he? Where the hell is my husband? He’s not here. Oh my God. Chanel mama. Take it easy. Oh my. He just, God’s is. I’m sure they just took him for some tests. You wait here, I’ll go check. Huh.

These elevators are so darn slow. But don’t you worry, Abraham. I’m gonna get you out of here. Oh, man. Yes. That’s me, your loving wife, and I’m gonna get you far, far away from this hospital and away from anyone who wants to hurt you.

Who the hell are you? Officer Hetra Salem pd. And where the hell is my brother? You mean the suspect? He got away.

Officer. Officer, please. I need your help.

Hello, Kayla. Hi. Hi. I was just, uh, checking on my brother and Kate. Great minds. I was about to do the same thing. Oh, I know that they’d like that. Oh. But right when I was leaving, uh, will called, so I think Kate’s in a video chat with him right now. Oh, okay. Will some other time. No, I, I don’t, I don’t think that you’ll be long.

I got a minute. You wanna have a little coffee with you? Anytime. How about here? How about here? Um, I, I was gonna ask you about the, um, viral outbreak at the hospital. What? Talking about, well, um, um, Eric wanted to come and, and see Abe, and then he called me to make sure that. Visitors were allowed because of the outbreak on the 10th floor.

Well, if that was the case, I would be the first to know. So I think wherever Eric got his information, they were misinformed. Yes. Well, that was from Nicole. So either she’s misinformed or she lied about it, and I can’t think why she would do that,

Eric. What are you doing here, Nicole? We need to talk. Well, now it’s not a good time. I was on my way out so she could give you this.

Nicole, I know you’re pregnant.

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

What are you talking about? Why would you say that? I’m pregnant? Oh, please stop lying to my face.

I confronted Sloan. She told me what the swab was for. She told me everything.

Damn her. I knew your snick of a girlfriend couldn’t keep this secret.

You had one job, one simple job, and you screwed it up. Did you catch him? Did you catch my brother? Not yet. They’re clothes outside so you can get dressed, so then we can go and try and find the prisoner that you let get away. Go, honey. How could you let this happen? Huh? I mean, I knew the Salem PD was in net, but this, I mean, how could you even call yourselves cops?

Your psycho brother is the one who turned the gun on one of my officers to begin with. Not to mention the fact that you could have stopped this a long time ago. So cut the crop. Has he contacted you? No, he hasn’t. Is that the truth or are you lying to me again? Because you said that last time when you said that you were trying to protect him.

Absolutely not. Your brother is out there. He’s alone and he is desperate. And every cop in Salem is hunting him down. Yes, I know that. Yeah. Well then you should know that he is gonna need some help. And there are two people in this town that he’s gonna contact, one of which is being arraigned for her part in all of this.

The other. Is you. For the last time, Colin has not contacted me because he knows if he did, I would turn him in immediately. The last thing that I want is my brother running around Salem loose.

That seems to be the problem. We, the problem is that somebody stole my phone. I’m sorry, I don’t have time for that. No, no. You don’t understand. This isn’t just a phone we’re talking about. It’s my livelihood. It has my, my contacts, my anonymous sources. Photos of me that I don’t want getting into the wrong hands.

Okay. Well, I’m kind of in a rush. Okay. Uh, hang on, hang on. I just realized who you are. You are a very naughty boy.

Where are we going? Well, I told you sweetheart. The man who attacked you is nearby, and we’ve got to get you out of here finally.

Hi, babe. Where the hell are you?

Oh. Oh. Mm-hmm. Don’t you cry? Don’t you cry, Paul, Lena, you hold it together. Oh, your, your man needs you to be strong for him right now.

I just spoke to the nurses. Abe wasn’t scheduled for any tests, so he should be here in his room. Well, obviously he is not. Where is he?

What strange thing to lie about a, a viral outbreak. Hmm. And you say that, uh, Nicole told Eric about it? Yeah, well, he bumped into her, uh, coming into the hospital and she was carrying one of those. Rapid test kits. Um, and she said that everybody had to have, have, have a negative test result in order to come in to the hospital.

So she said if he wants to see aap, he’s going to have to, well get a cheek swab. Well, in order to perform the test, I’m gonna need a blood sample from you and a cheek swab from the potential father. So if there’s a, a viral outbreak at the hospital, you’d be the first to know about it, right? Yeah. Yeah, I would.

Oh, and it must not be happening. I wonder why Nicole would make up such a crazy story. Well, slums defense, I found out about your boast story from my mother. Oh my God. Marlena knows. No, not that you’re pregnant. Well, then how is she involved in this? Because I called my mother this morning. I needed to find out if I needed a test before I visited Abe.

She had no idea what I was talking about. So I confronted Sloan. She told me about the little bogus story that you two cooked up at the hospital. Mm-hmm. And I bet she couldn’t wait to spill the beans. No, Nicole. I had to pull it out of her. She said, you begged her not to tell me. Sloane should have never known to begin with.

It was a total fluke that she found out. Oh no. Haven’t you, you’ve been making up stories for weeks. What are you talking about there? You were outside of the pub. You just hung up the phone with Kayla. This is the test you were talking about a paternity test. You told me you were in early menopause. I thought I was in menopause and I took a blood test and I found out I was pregnant.

Needless to say, it, it, it was shocking and overwhelming and But why didn’t you just tell me, I promised you you could trust me and you lied right to my face.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I lied to EJ too.

He doesn’t know that I’m pregnant or that I, I don’t know which one of you is the father.

Listen, we don’t know each other, bud. I think you have me mixed up with someone else. Oh, no, I don’t. I may be terrible with names, but I never forget a face, especially not when as pretty as yours. I know exactly who you are. Well, I need the entire hospital staff working with my officers to get this hospital locked down.

Suspect’s name is Colin Bedford. Have already sent a photo. Now be advised he’s stolen officer’s uniformed and is armed and dangerous. Anyone spots him? You contact me immediately, one of your trigger. Happy cop. Hurts my brother. Oh don’t you. Don’t you threaten me Sloane. He could have cooperated instead.

He chose to do this. Okay. Made things much worse. Ra rape. We need to talk to you please. All right now. Okay. It’s gonna have to wait. Oh, the hell And Will Abraham is missing.

Here we are. My love home. Sweet home.

Um, a viral outbreak. Well, maybe he talked to Nicole about that. Hmm. I wonder if it has anything to do with her. Secret. Secret About what? I don’t know. I was nervous station the other day and Nicole. Was talking to Sloan of all people. Really? I didn’t know they were friends. They’re not friends. In fact, when Sloan walked away, Nicole said she couldn’t stand her.

And I had also overheard Sloan say that she would keep Nicole’s script.

I should have known that Sloan would tell you, or that the secret would come out some other way because that’s what secrets do. And. No one knows that better than me. But this one, I just, I thought if I could control it, then I could minimize the damage because the last thing I wanna do is hurt anyone I know.

I’m sorry, I, I’m sorry. If I have said to you, why are you apologizing? You have every right to be angry. You don’t need to be nice to me. And I’m, I’m not upset because of what you said. I’m, I’m upset because once again, my life is a giant hot mess.

I told you, you do not need to be nice to me.

Thank you.

We, we slept together once when, when our,

we were drugged out of our minds and we didn’t know what we were doing, and we agreed that it was a mistake.

So why would I tell you that I’m pregnant? Cause I might be a father, but you might not be. So I didn’t see the point in telling you or AJ until I was sure. And I don’t need you to hovering over me or or worse trying to kill each other, most likely scenarios.

I know how badly you wanna be a father, and of course you are so incredible with Holly. But having a child of your own, I know that’s been a dream of yours and I am. I saw how devastated you were with Sarah and, and Jada, and I just, I don’t wanna put you through that again.

I don’t wanna get your hopes up for you to find out that you’re not the father. I don’t wanna break your heart, but the truth is, I, I still might. What do you mean? You know, the chances of me carrying this baby to term are practically zero. And if you are the father and I miscarry again, I will be making you experience the agony of yet another loss.

Nicole, having a miscarriage would not be your fault, and I would never blame you for it. You know, I know that in all this time, I’m sure there’s been enough medical advances to help you eliminate the risk.

You know what, and even Kayla, she can recommend a fertility doctor to help you map out whatever you need to do.

It’s just, I, I, I just can’t think about any of that right now. I, I, I can’t think about planning this pregnancy until I know who got me pregnant.

It’s enough.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m such a rig.

Don’t apologize. I’m your friend that many of you are friends, right?

Of course.

May I ask us friend?

What’s next? Uh, um, well, I, uh, I needed to be seven weeks alone, which I am today, um, in order to have a paternity test done, but I, I couldn’t get a swab from ej. Yeah, but you have mine. Well, assuming I could use it, Kayla will take my blood and compare your DNA n a to the babies and then we’ll, we’ll know if, if it’s ejs,

bring any bells. Not a clue. This is where we live. Yes, sir. It’s our little love nest. I, I, I know it’s not much, but it’s where we’ve made our home.

Paulina. Yes, she did. What? What’s with all the cats? Oh. You poor dear. You don’t remember our babies? Oh, I’m sorry. I’m, I’m afraid not. Well, unfortunately, I’m terribly allergic to real kitties, and so I’m a crazy stuffed cat lady. And you are crazy stuffed cat man. Oh, well that definitely does not ring a bell.

Oh. Maybe you need to be reintroduced. Okay, Abraham, this is Tasha, Maha and Sasha. They’re triplets and they’re such little rascals, aren’t you? Yes you are. Yes you are. And this is cheesecake. You named him. Remember? I’m sorry. I don’t Oh, well. Okay. Maybe if you hold him. There he is. Go ahead. Can’t tell Cheese King how much you missed him.

You? Pardon? Tell him how much you missed him while you were gone.

I, uh, I’m guessing that you’re not allergic to dust. I think, I think cheesecake could use the bath Abraham. When you were attacked, I was by your bedside around the clock. I didn’t have time to come home and clean, and besides Whitley’s, not much of a housekeeper anyway. Who’s Whitley? I don’t care. Whatever else you have going on, you need to find my husband.

Paulina, please, could you please just calm down? Okay. If Abe is not in his room, he’s probably, when they probably pulled him out for some tests. I already talked to the nurses. He’s not scheduled for any tests. You hear that Commissioner Abraham is missing? I’m going to go look for my husband and you had best do the same.

Oh, you again outta my way. I need to speak with faith about my brother. All right, Pauline, there’s something that you need to know about Colin. Oh, I, I already know I was standing right there when you sent that cop to his room. Now, I assume you have that animal locked up in a cage by now. Well, actually we don’t.

What? You don’t what the hell? We had him in custody and then, He escaped. Oh, honey, I definitely recognize you and I know why you prefer I didn’t. Yeah. Why is that? Well, I don’t think the commissioner would approve of your side hustle pulling double duty as an adult entertainer. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Oh, come on. I saw you at my friend ATT End’s bachelor party a couple of weeks ago. You gave the groom to be a lap dance, and then you showed everybody your night stick. I thought you were wearing a cop costume, but now that I know that was real, makes the whole thing that much hotter. Listen, I wasn’t at any party.

As I said, you have me mixed up with someone else. Okay, fine. Maybe it wasn’t you that gave that arresting performance, but I definitely know you from somewhere, the gym at the Salem in you were having esteem post-workout, Sam’s help. Wrong again. Okay, fine. Maybe I do occasionally forget a face, but I never forget a nice stick.

We’re done here. Oh, come on. Hang on, hang on, hang on. Get your bloody hands off me. My car. No. What the hell? Well, what’s with the limey accent?

Oh, mg, that’s who you are.

Oh, you know Whitley, she’s the girl that we have come in clean for us once a month.

I don’t remember either. Oh, darling, you have to give yourself a break. You’ve been through a terrible ordeal, and there’s a long road ahead towards your recovery. Now I’m gonna get you into bed and get you some rest, and everything’s gonna be just like I, I I, I, I don’t want any rest. I, I got to figure out what’s happening.

It’s very simple. I’m your wife. I’m a nurse, and when Nurse Paulina says rest is best, you would be wise to listen. Okay. My love. Okay. Uh, but shouldn’t we call Chanel first? Chanel you. Let Colin get away that lunar ticket loose. Well, we’re checking security cameras. We’re going to find him. Okay. And what about Abe?

Oh, wait, wait a minute. They both went missing from the same place at the same time. That can’t be a coincidence. What if that that evil man took my husband? Well, it is. That is possible. Oh, but. My God, if you, if you have anything to do with that. I didn’t. I swear. I just want help the police find my brother.

Now. We don’t need your help of any kind of miserable witch. Okay? Hold on a second. Now, just listen, if Colin does have a, it’s not gonna be a problem. Uhuh, there’s no ifs, no ands, no butts. Colin Bedford is a homicidal maniac, and anyone who’s with him is in terrible danger.

You’re Colin Bedford, Sloan, Peterson’s brother. Would he been your guy? Oh, I’m late for an appointment. Wouldn’t be with the police, would he? Telling him, you run into me. Heaven’s no. No. I wouldn’t say a word. Word, but you could. You could say plenty of words. Sorry. It’s funny, I’m a reporter, but I’d never paid attention to the real news.

I talk about boring, although the other day, my boss, AK and my bestie, who also happens to be from across the pond just like you, she was talking about you and immediately my ears perked up because you are one fascinating man. And now you have a chance to tell your side of the story. You can give me an exclusive interview.

And I give you a chance to be heard, to say things you’ve been wanting to say for years about Chanel, Paulina, all of it. And I promise you people will listen. Yeah. You really think so? Oh, I know. So you hit Abe Carver over the head with a rolling pin. I can see the headline already. The British banger.

That’s you mashes mayor than dishes to Lady W. What did he say?

This baby is mine. Eric, I don’t wanna talk about it.

I am with EJ now. And you are with Sloan and we have moved on and there is no reason to talk about this until we know that there is anything to talk about.

Will you me, as you get the results?

Of course, I.

Thank you for this.

Brown. I guess I shouldn’t tret about it. Regardless of how I feel about Sloan, Eric is committed to seeing where this relationship goes, and I am, I’m committed to supporting him. Yeah. Oh, sorry.

Dr. Johnson. Ah, Kayla. Hi. It’s, it’s Nicole. I have. The sample you need to do the paternity test. Great. I can meet you at the hospital now if you like. Yes, please. I, I would appreciate that. Okay. See you soon.

Did you say Chanel? I’m the one supposed to have the memory problems. Your daughter, my stepdaughter? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course I know who Chanel is. I know who Chanel is. I just wanna know why you wanna talk to her now. What? She was with me when I woke up and I didn’t recognize her or you and I know.

That, that upset her a great deal. So I, I would like to reassure her the, we left the hospital before I had a chance. Hmm. You’re right. I should call Chanel. I’m gonna call her right now.

Hey, baby girl, Chanel. It’s Paul, your mama? Yeah. Oh, I’m sorry. I’m just getting around to call you. It’s been a crazy day and I’m finally getting a chance to catch my breath. Mm-hmm. Yes.

Breathe, mama. Breathe. How can I just lie in this bed when my husband is in the clutches of my monster? Why am I in this bed any damn way? Because your blood pressure and heart weight are way up. So they, they wanna admit you so that they can make sure that you’re, you’re okay. Oh dear. Hey, remember what I said?

We don’t even know for sure that Colin has Abe, right? The name’s tough. He’s strong. He’s gonna fight. He just had brain surgery. How’s he supposed to fight? Mama, listen to me. Abe loves you so much and that love is gonna make him strong and he will do whatever it takes to get back to you. There’s not a doubt in my mind.

Oh baby, I hope you are right, but this is the second head injury Avis had in the past year and I’m, I’m not even sure he knows where. Why would you say that? When a woke up, he didn’t recognize me or mama. He didn’t know where he was. He didn’t even remember that he’d been attacked.

It’s possible. Abe doesn’t even know he’s in danger. Yeah. Yes. Chanel Abe is back home with me. Yes, yes. Everything is fine. Uhhuh. Oh, no, no, no. He’s too tired to talk. Mm-hmm. No, no. He’s too tired to talk. No, he’s fine though. No nurse. Paul has got this. We’re gonna make sure he’s just fine. Yes. Alright. No, no, no, no.

There’s absolutely no need for you to come over. I got this. All right, baby girl. All right. I love you too. All right. Bye-bye. Okay. Chanel’s not angry with me. Oh no, not at all. She was glad that I called to put her mind at rest. Yeah, we were all just so worried that that awful, Mr. Bedford was gonna come and hurt you again.

Let me just grab my notebook so I can write down everything. Ah, look, I found my phone. I guess it wasn’t stolen after all. I’m here with Colin Bedford, ak, the British banger. Is it okay if I call you Colin? Collins, how do you respond to allegations that you’re an unhinged psychopath?

I can confirm that. Tell me again, Mr. Stark.

Hey, Sono was about to call you. Yeah, I just got an alert that your brother broke out of the hospital. I know. I just came from there. What happened? He overpowered the cop that was assigned to help him with his transfer, and now he’s gone. He couldn’t gotten him far. Right. I don’t know. I just hope that they catch him soon before someone else gets hurt.

Anyway, so what’d you end up doing with that swab? I gave Nicole a sample of my dna n. She’s bringing it to Kayla. Then we’ll all know.

Kayla, thank you so much for, for meeting me. Of course, you know how anxious you are for answers yes. You go, uh, I never thought I would be in this position, this stage of my life. I mean, not only pregnant, but not knowing who father is. So, um, will this, will this take a while or No, it shouldn’t. I’ll draw your blood and take that and this DMA sample to lab for comparison and then I’ll get back to you as soon as I know something and then the waiting will finally be over.

Thank God. Sorry.

Hey Peterson, what do you want? A comment on your brother’s escape from police custody. Do you get the news alert on your phone? No, I got it in my face. What are you talking about? Colin was just here dressed as a cop. Well, where did he go? How the hell should I know? I’m just glad he’s gone. That dude is seriously scary.

I was lucky to escape with my life. Oh, and by the way, your brother owes me a phone. Thank you. Oh, hey. Hey Rick. Hey. I just got off the phone from the head of security. They said the hospital’s on lunch phone. Yeah. Colin Bedford’s escaped and Abe’s gone missing. Oh my God. Did you say Colin kidnapped him?

Well, we don’t know for sure, bud. It’s possible. Babe is so vulnerable right now. Listen, what can I do? How can I help? I’ll just be ready when we find him, which we will once we rescue him from a certifiable psychopath.

Positive thoughts. Ooh, positive thoughts. Ooh, mama, you’re cold. I’m here for you and I will be here too very soon.

So what is this? He’s your favorite. Do you remember his name? Elvis? No. It’s Katz Domino. Ah, right. Better. Oh baby. Do you always make things better for me? Yeah. After I make them worse. Oh, you stop that right now? I don’t want you blaming yourself any of this. We have to be strong and brave and optimistic.

You’re right. Mm-hmm. Abe is okay and man, he just has to be, that’s all there is to it. Well, I wish I could say this looks familiar or that any of this looks familiar, but it doesn’t. Oh, oh, Abraham, don’t you, Fred? Everything will come back to you and in time and until then, Pauline is gonna take good care of you.

Well, hi honey. Hi. I just came from seeing your dad and Kate. Are they doing all right? They’re, they’re doing better than All right. They’re sort of making up for lost time. Um, you have a minute to talk. For you. Of course. Anytime. What’s up? Well, I have some news actually. It may be big news. I just found out Nicole’s pregnant.

It could be mine.

Now you are darling.

I missed you. I’ve missed you too.

When did you get back? Oh, a little while ago. I looked all over for you, but I couldn’t find you. Where have you?

[ Relaxing music ]

Deacon: You know, I– I probably loved brooke since the minute I saw her.

Taylor: I mean, that’s– that’s something nice that you could– you could tell her.

Deacon: I’m pretty sure she knows how I feel.

Taylor: Right. It doesn’t hurt to say it again and again.

Deacon: I have, and it does hurt.

Taylor: I don’t know, what if– what if I’m right? You know, what– what if… [ Deacon chuckling ] What if– what if everything works out, and you have a future with brooke and– and hope has her family back together and you’re the key to breaking us out of this terrible, toxic cycle.

Deacon: Hmm. Yeah.

Taylor: Because if anyone can do it, deacon, it’s you.

[ Deacon sighing ]

[ Brooke laughing ]

Ridge: So, that’s really clever.

Brooke: No, that is– that is more than clever, that is great. That is so funny. And he’s– he has such great stage presence. Look at rj. He’S… wow.

Ridge: He’s good. So what do– what do we do? We– we like it or heart it?

Brooke: You got to heart it.

Ridge: I don’t know. You do it.

Brooke: Okay, heart it, and then, you should add a comment.

Ridge: Like, what? I don’t want to embarrass the kid. What do you say?

Brooke: No, you say, “this is a cool video and I’m proud of you.” That’s not embarrassing.

Ridge: No, I have a better idea, how about this? “Uh, this is a cool video.”

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: “I’m proud of you.”

Brooke: [ Laughing ] Okay.

Ridge: Do that.

Brooke: That’s what I said, but yeah. [ Laughs ] Okay. Oh, so nice having him home, you know? I missed him so much. It’s a good feeling. Having our family back together again.

[ Both moaning ]

Carter: Can I just say that nobody wraps up a meeting quite like you?

Katie: Well, I believe it was on the agenda, end things with a hot and heavy kiss, you know? I like to follow the rules.

Carter: I’m not complaining.

[ Both chuckling ]

Katie: Lot of buzz around here with hope for the future going to italy.

Carter: Yes. Yes. The roma news is very exciting. Should be huge for hope and her line.

Katie: Oh, yeah, definitely. But, you know, rome’s one of the most romantic cities in the world. Might just be huge for brooke and ridge too.

Brooke: Oh, here you go. What?

Ridge: Hmm?

Brooke: I saw that look. What are you thinking?

Ridge: I– I’m– I’m just thinking it’s nice to not have to worry about sheila anymore.

Brooke: Hmm.

Ridge: So, I’m thinking about other stuff.

Brooke: Like work, you mean?

Ridge: Sure. Work.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Listen, I learned something when I was gone. I learned that being away from you is– is– is hard, and I don’t ever want to do that again. Ever.

[ Sighs ] I know you have this pact with taylor, I want to respect that, I just– and I am respecting it, I just wanted to, uh– to say that I– I really miss you.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Taylor: What?

Deacon: So– so that’s– that’s your professional opinion? That I should just go for it with brooke. You know, again and again…

Taylor: Ah, it’s not really a professional opinion, but– but I will say that, I don’t know, life– life is short.

Deacon: I’m right there. I mean, do you really think that I’d have a shot with brooke?

Taylor: Deacon, you won’t know unless you try.

Deacon: All right, what about forrester, right? I mean, lest either of us forget ridge and brooke are each other’s destiny.

[ Taylor sighing ] I don’t feel my age. Why should my skin?

Carter: Okay, you’re right. It is highly likely that ridge and brooke will end up going to rome.

Katie: Which means it’s highly likely that there might be some sort of reconnection?

Carter: Stranger things have happened. But I don’t know. I don’t know. Taylor and brooke’s friendship, it feels pretty legit.

Katie: It is. I– I think it’s great, and I love this independent side of brooke, but that doesn’t mean her love life has to come to a screeching halt. You know, if ridge is ready to commit to her, I mean, fully commit without one eye lingering on taylor, then why shouldn’t she go for it? I’m sure taylor would do the same in a similar situation.

Carter: Okay. But is ridge ready?

Katie: Maybe not. But after a few days with brooke in one of the most romantic cities in the world, I think he will be.

Ridge: I gotta say my time in the penalty box has not been easy.

Brooke: Yeah? Is that how it feels? Like you’re in trouble? Well, taylor and i aren’t doing this to punish you in any way, or make you feel bad–

Ridge: I know. I know that. And listen, I– I– I get what you’re doing with your friendship, and I admire that. That you guys are close now after, you know, fighting for so long.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: That’s putting it mildly. I mean, we’ve actually been at war with each other for so many years and… I– I almost thought it was gonna happen again.

Ridge: Why would you think that?

Brooke: Oh, I didn’t, just… yeah. No big deal. I mean, something happened, and… [ Sighs ] In the past, I think it would have gone into a full-blown fight, but we didn’t let it go there. We just kind of worked it out.

Ridge: So, what were you arguing about? Was it– was it something I said, something I did?

Brooke: No, we don’t argue about you anymore, ridge. And I know that’s probably a blow to your ego, but–

Ridge: Probably? It absolutely is, yes.

Brooke: No.

Ridge: So, if you weren’t fighting about me, what were you fighting about?

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Our children.

Ridge: Children, of course.

Brooke: If we’re not gonna let you come between our friendship, we’re certainly not gonna let the kids. And I– I know that you’re happy about our friendship, but I know there’s downsides too. And I have every intention of keeping my pact with taylor. But… I really do miss you.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Taylor: Destiny. So sick of hearing that word.

Deacon: Hey, tell me about it, 100%. I mean, but, you know, when you think about it, there is some truth to it.

Taylor: Truth to destiny? Okay, if destiny means breaking up, and getting back together a million times. How many times has it been? It’s been a lot. It’s been a lot. I really do think that you could be the one to help break this vicious cycle.

Deacon: Benefiting us both.

Taylor: What are you implying?

Deacon: I’m not implying– well, I guess I am. I’m implying that you are not exactly objective. You– you say you wanna– you wanna help me, you wanna help brooke, you wanna help yourself, right? That way, you can spend the rest of your days as mrs. Ridge forrester.

Taylor: Deacon, don’t, just… listen, I– I’m not gonna deny my feelings for ridge, even though I’ve been trying to deny my feelings for ridge. You know, it wasn’t that long ago that I was all dressed up in a wedding dress, getting ready to marry him, and then… well, you know how that turned out. I will always love ridge, just like you will always love brooke, but there’s a difference between us, right? I am– or have been, trying to push away my feelings for ridge because of this pact with brooke. But you don’t have anything keeping you from going after brooke. You know? Think about it, you know? You’ve spent a lot of your life kind of being the villain, right? What would it be like to… be a hero? Come on, deacon. Do it, do it. Just– just call her. Call her, tell her how you feel. Just see what happens, deacon. Do it. Do it today. One prilosec otc each morning blocks

[ Carter speaking italian ]

Carter: Ciao.

Katie: I’m sorry, you speak italian?

Carter: Well, I can get by.

Katie: Wow. I think that makes you even sexier than you already were.

Carter: Really?

Katie: I know. You know what I– I– I really think that you should, um, you know– you should use some of that later on.

Carter: Hmm.

Katie: When we’re together. You know, just whisper a few phrases here and there. It might earn you some real brownie points.

Carter: I think I can make that happen.

[ Both moaning ]

[ Carter chuckling ]

Katie: Uh, italy. That’s such an amazing place. Rome is like, my favorite city in the whole world. I could totally be an expat there.

[ Carter laughing ] Imagine how wonderful it would be for brooke and ridge if they end up there together.

Carter: You’re not pushing this reunion at all.

Katie: I’m not, I’m a totally neutral party.

[ Carter laughing ] Oh, come oN. I mean, just think about it. Like, I just want my sister to be happy and she’s never more happy than when she’s with ridge.

Carter: I can’t argue. If they had their reunion in rome, it would be an epic moment.

Katie: It would.

Carter: The most romantic time in their lives, but if it were to actually happen, think about what they’d come home to. They can’t stay in italy forever. They’d come back to L.A., And, you know damn well taylor will have something to say about it.

Katie: Hmm.

Taylor: Oh, hey.

Ridge: Hey. If you’re looking for steffy, she is in a financial meeting that is probably the most boring meeting of the year and I was very lucky to get out of it.

Taylor: Okay. And if you’re looking for your bff, she is somewhere that I would not want to be.

Taylor: What? Where– where’s brooke?

Ridge: Il giardino, talking to deacon.

Taylor: Really?

Ridge: Yeah, he called, said it was very important.

Taylor: Well, maybe, he finally, cracked the code for the best pizza sauce in the world or something.

Ridge: Maybe he did. I don’t know, I don’t think it was that important. I think it was probably about hope. I mean, why else would he call brooke?

Deacon: Was I right about the chardonnay?

Woman: Yes, thank you.

Deacon: Okay. Enjoy.

When it comes down to it,

there’s really

only three questions

worth asking, brooke.

“What’s worth living for?”

“What’s worth dying for?”

And “what’s worth fighting for?

Answer is the same

to all of them.

Love.

Brooke: [ Laughing ] Hi.

Deacon: Hi.

Brooke: So, you wanted to see me?

Deacon: Yeah, uh, thank you for coming. Uh– uh, let’s, um– let’s– let’s sit down. Uh, did you want coffee or, uh, iced tea?

Brooke: Iced tea would be good.

Deacon: Hey, sam, do me a favor. Can we get a quick iced tea? Thanks. Um…

Brooke: You seem a little nervous. What’s going on? Is it hope?

Deacon: No, no, no, she’s doing great. I mean, she is good, right? Everything’s good?

Brooke: Uh…

Deacon: She came in earlier, she was telling me about rome. That’s– that’s exciting, right?

Brooke: Right, oh, yes, that is very exciting. It gives her a chance to showcase her line.

Deacon: Right, I tell you, I’m just– I’m blown away by everything that she’s– she’s accomplishing. Everything she’s doing. Honestly, it’s– it’s kind of hard to believe that she came from us. Not you, me. I mean, just, um, you know, she’s just– she’s so dynamic. She’s so… I don’t know, she’s so kind just, I guess, that maybe, that is part of the reason that I asked you to come here.

Brooke: Because of hope?

Deacon: Because of what we shared, once. I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Taylor: So, she is with deacon. I mean, it– it could be about hope. Could be about a number of things.

Ridge: Yes, it could be about a number of things, but if it’s about money, if he’s asking for a loan, we’re gonna have a problem.

Taylor: Oh, I don’t– come on, don’t be silly. Il giardino is doing just fine.

Ridge: As far as we know.

Taylor: Yes.

Ridge: Why else would he be calling her? For what?

Taylor: I don’t know. Why are you making a big deal about it? They have a kid together, so.

Ridge: Yeah, deacon and brooke, that was, uh, not her finest hour.

[ Taylor chuckling ]

Taylor: That was scandalous for sure, but something good came out of it. They made hope.

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: And, you know, that really bonds most people together, having kids.

Ridge: Always about the kids, isn’t it? Always about those crazy kids.

Taylor: And you, it’s also about you. I mean, you have been a really important part of my life for a long time. I mean, before the kids came along. We share a lot of beautiful memories. We really do.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Wow. [ Laughs ] Okay. Somebody wants to take a trip down memory lane, I’m guessing.

Deacon: Would that be so bad?

Brooke: No, no. I mean, some memories are worth remembering and smiling about, and others…

Deacon: Brooke, I’m sorry for any pain that I caused you.

Brooke: No.

Deacon: No, this captivating woman who I– you know how I feel about you, how I’ll always feel about you.

Brooke: I do.

Deacon: I’m just so thankful to have you in my life and I’m so sorry for the way that it started. For the person that I was all those years ago. But I’ve been thinking about it and I– I believe that people come into each other’s lives for a reason, and I think maybe, you came into my life to help me change. You inspire me to be a better man. To be someone. I mean, if a woman as extraordinary as you can see potential in me, someone so smart, so breathtakingly gorgeous.

[ Brooke chuckling ] I mean, do you have any idea the influence that you’ve had in my life? Take the restaurant, for example. I’ve wasted so much time, and now, it’s like I’ve got this fire in my belly. You know, I just– I just want to succeed.

Brooke: Yes.

Deacon: And I want to prove to you and hope that– that I can do this. You’re two of the most important women in my life.

Brooke: Wow. Okay. Um, I mean, it makes me feel good to hear you say these things. I’m just a little confused. I’m not sure where you’re going with all of this.

Deacon: I know that you and taylor have vowed not to pursue ridge.

Brooke: Right?

Deacon: And, I mean, that doesn’t mean that you’ve sworn off all men, right? I– I– I know this– I know this is crazy, but maybe, it’s our time. Maybe, it’s our chance, I… brooke, I have worked so damn hard to put my life back together, and it’s working, and this is just the beginning. I’m making better choices, and the best choice that I could think of is being with you. Doing everything I can to– to show you and hope the man that I am now. Do you think that there’s a chance that we could find our way back to each other? That we could be a family for hope, for our grandchildren? I know I’ve said this before. Since you and ridge are separated, I’m gonna say it again. I love you. I love you more than anyone or anything. Please, come back to me.

Kyle: It looks like I’ve interrupted something. What are you two talking about?

Summer: Kyle, chance was just here. He told us the news that, um, he found proof that our mom is alive.

Daniel: No more doubts. No more questions. It’s undeniable. Chance is absolutely sure.

Summer: That means that the charges against diane are gonna be dropped. You believed that your mom was innocent this whole time. You were right. I’m sorry that I blamed her for a murder that didn’t even happen.

Kyle: You were racked with grief. I know how hard it is to face a pain like that.

Summer: And you know exactly what it feels like to find out that it was all lie.

Kyle: Of course, I do.

Summer: I’m so sorry. I hope that you can forgive me.

Kyle: Of course, I can. You were in pain and needed answers. All the clues pointed to my mom because that’s what stark wanted. I’m just glad he can never hurt anyone ever again.

Summer: So hasst that happened yet? Has she been formally released?

Kyle: It’s true. My mom is free.

Lucy: Thanks for letting me hang out at your offices today.

Lily: Of course.

Lucy: Those coders were so cool. I mean, it’s a totally different crore than my mom’s office friends.

Lily: Yeah. I know. Well, of course. And they have amazing fashion sense. They definitely keep our offices on trend.

Lucy: I didn’t see a single blue suit, which is basically my mom’s entire office uniform.

Lily: Well, I mean, lawyers are really cool too, in their own way.

Lucy: Um… lily…

Lily: Yeah? Lucy, whatever it is, I promise you can ask me.

Lucy: Is it true that you and my dad were married when you guys were basically kids?

[ Sally sighing ]

[ Sally panting ]

Sally: What is going on? Oh, did you feel that too?

Faith: Mariah, you don’t have to stay to help clean up. I’ve got this.

Mariah: Oh, no, you– you just got home. You can go unpack or hang out with dorm cat.

Faith: His name is borgnine, as you know. And he’s probably still sleeping. So, I’m on cleanup duty. And you know just how much I love washing dirty dishes.

Mariah: I know that. So, I’m gonna let you wash and I will dry.

Faith: Thanks. How kind of you.

Mariah: Well, I gave you a chance to escape, but you sort of blew it, so.

Nick: I mean, will you look at these pictures? The greatest collection of women who’ve ever been assembled. The photographer’s obviously very talented. He crushed it.

Faith: Poor dad. You can’t actually take credit for all of our fabulousness. All you did was take the picture.

Nick: That’s a skill, faith. I mean, you can’t just aim and shoot, all right? The framing, the lighting, it’s all perfect. I mean, ask your mom. She’s impressed.

Faith: Mom?

Sharon: Huh? Yeah. Uh, you’re all wonderful and– and talented.

Mariah: Uh, sort of out of nowhere, but I will take it.

Faith: What’s going on? What’s got you so distracted? Ma ma ma ma

[Clears throut]

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Mariah: Is it all the mom and grandma overload? It’s too much joy all at once?

Sharon: Yes. That’s exactly what I was thinking about, our family and how lucky I am to have all of you. But it is time for you two to go. There’s no reason for you to hang out. Nick can help me clean up.

Faith: We don’t mind. Really.

Sharon: No, no. Faith, you just got home. Why don’t you go and visit your friends or visit family. I know that victor and nikki are dying to see you.

Faith: I did promise granddad I’d be by to lose at chess.

Mariah: Wow. That’s the fighting spirit.

Faith: Guess the dirty dishes are on you, dad.

Nick: It is my welcome home gift to you, kiddo.

Sharon: Have fun.

Faith: Bye. Maybe we can go to the tack house first so I can video chat moses and show him the new baby.

Mariah: Perfect. I mean, if she’s asleep, she will not be for long. Trust me. Bye, guys.

Nick: Bye.

Sharon: Bye.

Nick: You did a great job covering. What was in the box that was delivered?

Sharon: Okay.

Nick: This is the motel where cameron attacked you. The son of a bitch has a twisted sense of humor.

Sharon: Makes me sick to my stomach to think about it. But, he’s in prison, right?

Nick: I mean, he certainly should be. There’s no way this lunatic should be out in the streets ever again.

Sharon: Cameron is up to something. Sending me all of these little packages and gifts. What can he possibly want? What message is he trying to send?

[ Door knocking ]

Chance: Hey.

Nick: Hey.

Chance: I got news about kirsten. It’s not great.

Cameron: Miss? Hey, I– I don’t mean to bother you, but, um, are you okay?

Sally: Yeah, I’m– I’m fine. I just– I had a little double vision. It’s just making me dizzy.

Cameron: Yeah. Well, look in– in your condition that’s– that’s nothing to mess around with, uh. Can I– can I call somebody for you?

Daniel: Well, you must be relieved, kyle. Your mom’s been vindicated. What our mother put you and the rest of your family through was brutal. Still can’t believe she would do such a thing.

Summer: But it wasn’t mom’s fault. You know, it was stark. He was the one that lured her in, manipulated her, threatened to kill her when she didn’t do what he wanted. I mean, that’s what she told you, right?

Daniel: Right. And, you know, I’m sure stark didn’t expect to wind up dead.

Summer: If stark had it his way, then mom would be the one that was dead right now. Both mom and diane are stark’s victim.

Daniel: Exactly. Just let your mom know how happy I am that this part of the nightmare is over for her and I’m sorry that I couldn’t do something to clear her sooner.

Kyle: I’ll certainly pass along your message. And we’ll always owe you a debt of gratitude for coming forward after hearing about phyllis.

Daniel: It was the only right thing to do.

Kyle: Even so, you could have kept phyllis’s secret. I know you wanted to protect her at all costs, but you didn’T. You came forward and set my mom free.

Daniel: Well, I can never stay quiet when someone’s entire future is at stake. I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself otherwise.

Kyle: I– I realize the emotions are complicated for both of you, but the good news is your mother is alive. It’s like a miracle you secretly hope for, but never out loud. I get it. And when phyllis comes forward and explains why she did what she did, christine, the police, they’ll listen. They’ll try to be fair. I know you’re worried about the repercussions, but phyllis is tough as hell. She’ll get through it.

Summer: There shouldn’t be any repercussions. Anything criminal my mom did was in self-defense. She’s not a murderer. She’s just not. The D.A. Is gonna see that. She has to. (Vo) nature valley is committed to protecting our national parks.

Lily: Um, who told you that your dad and I were married?

Lucy: So, it’s true.

Lily: Well, it was a very long time ago.

Lucy: Wow. That’s a yes.

Lily: Okay. Have you talked to your dad about this?

Lucy: No, not– not yet. But– but I can if you’re not comfortable talking about it. I mean, dad will tell me the truth no matter what, even if it’s that awful.

Lily: Well, no, no, no, no. It– it wasn’t awful. I mean, that’s definitely an overstatement.

Lucy: How old were you guys?

Lily: Uh, we were not old enough to be married, that’s for sure.

Lucy: This is crazy. I mean, you’re literally my dad’s ex-wife and you guys just act like your old friends.

Lily: Okay, listen. I do not condone what we did at such a young age. I do not.

Lucy: Okay. Okay. I get it. I won’t run off and marry some kid from homeroom. Tell me everything.

Lily: Oh, gosh. Um…

[ Laughs ] Well, we were married for almost a year, but you know, we were just way too young and, you know, couldn’t handle the responsibility that came our way.

Lucy: I mean, you guys said vows and there– there must have been a marriage license and then a divorce? I mean, just think about all the teasing I can get off of my dad. And wait, doesn’t that make you guys each other’s first loves? Wow. How romantic is that? Now you guys are together again. I mean, that’s a book I’d totally read.

Lily: Okay, hold on.

Lucy: Wait. And if my dad ever tells me that I’m too young to know what love is, I can just point at you guys. I mean, star crossed lovers destined to finally be together.

Lily: Okay, listen.

[ Lily laughing ] We were way too young to handle what was coming our way, okay? The only thing we were destined for was failure. That’s it.

Lucy: Weren’t you guys in love?

Lily: Of course. Yeah, we were very much in love and–

Lucy: Good. Then, you can–

Lily: Hello?

Daniel: Hi.

Lily: Hi.

Daniel: These two little rays of sunshine. What did I miss?

Lucy and lily: Nothing.

[ Lily laughing ]

Sharon: I’m sick to my stomach already.

Nick: What’d you find out?

Chance: So, cameron kirsten was released after serving his original sentence.

Sharon: Oh, no.

Chance: And then he relocated to los angeles.

Sharon: Is he still in L.A.?

Chance: Well, he was arrested there for assaulting his girlfriend.

Nick: That’s his thing. This coward, he goes after women.

Sharon: Same thing he did to me.

Chance: Look at this.

Sharon: That’s his girlfriend?

Chance: Yeah. She looks just like you. I doubt that’s a coincidence.

Nick: Well, do you know where he is now?

Chance: No. He was released six months ago and his whereabouts are unknown.

Nick: Doesn’t he have like a parole officer keeping tabs on him or something?

Chance: I read the report and I’ll admit, it’s kinda sketchy. So, what’s the deal with this guy? I mean, clearly he’s dangerous and outta control. Why don’t you fill me in on what cameron kirsten is capable of?

Cameron: Look, miss, I– I– I don’t wanna crowd you or disturb you or anything like that, but I don’t feel right just leaving you here like this. Are you sure you don’t need medical attention?

Sally: Yeah, I’m– I’m okay. Really. There’s someone else I can call.

[ Sally sighing ]

Adam: Sally?

Sally: Adam, I– I really hate to do this, but can you come get me?

Adam: Um, a– absolutely. What– what’s wrong?

Sally: I– I think I should go see my ob.

Adam: Okay. Um, I’m on my way. Where are you?

Sally: I’m in the park.

Adam: Okay. I– I’ll be there soon and we can get you both looked at, okay? Sally?

Sally: Yeah.

Adam: It’s gonna be okay.

Sally: Right. Yeah. Yeah. It’s– it’s probably nothing.

Adam: Just sit tight.

Cameron: Well, sounds like your hero’s on the way. (Wheezing) 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, available now at walmart. And now please welcome ana montoya.

Sharon: I met cameron when I was in denver and I made a terrible mistake. Nick and I were together at the time, but our marriage was in trouble. I tried to drown my troubles in alcohol, and cameron took advantage of that. I trusted him and he became violent.

Chance: He assaulted you.

Sharon: I didn’t want nick to find out what cameron had done to me. I was just going through so much at the time. So, I kept quiet and I never went to the police. I just hid out in denver and waited for my wounds to heal. It was a really hard time in my life. I just wanted to forget that it had ever happened, but I didn’t have a choice when cameron showed up in genoa city. You have to realize that when you saw me in denver, I was a different person.

Cameron: Oh, oh yeah? When– when exactly was that? When you were sitting on that bar stool pretty as a picture slamming tequila shots?

Sharon: I was in a very down, a very down time. I was running away from my own life.

Cameron: But now you’re back.

Sharon: And, um, in a way, you– you did me a favor. Beating me to a pulp like that I realized that I needed my family back.

Cameron: I never beat you. We had a lovely time together.

Sharon: All right. You– you– you believe whatever you wanna believe. I know what my face looked like after you were finished with it.

Nick: If I had known what that bastard had done to you.

Sharon: I was too ashamed. I didn’t want you to know. And cameron exploited that. He blackmailed me into meeting him one night. Made my skin crawl every moment that I was with him. But I just, I still kept telling myself that I can handle this myself. I can handle him. Cameron, I’m begging you. Okay? I’m married. I– I have children. Will you please, please just leave me alone.

Cameron: You were married and you had children when I met you in denver, and you still slept with me.

Sharon: No, no. I– I told you why that happened. Look, I– I was drunk. I– I was horribly depressed and my life was a total disaster.

Cameron: You’re the sexiest woman I’ve ever been with.

Sharon: I was out of my mind, damn it! Do you honestly think that if I had known what I was doing, if I had known what kind of man you are, I would let you take me back to that hotel room?

Cameron: You think I’m a monster? Am I a monster? Look, I don’t know why it happened that way in denver, but I know this. It doesn’t have to be that way this time.

Sharon: Oh, meaning this time you won’t beat me up. Now, there’s an offer I can’t refuse.

Cameron: Don’t– don’t– don’t you do that. Don’t get smart with me.

Sharon: Why are you doing this?

Cameron: I want you like I haven’t wanted a woman in a very, very long time.

Sharon: Too bad.

Cameron: Come on, sharon. I can be anything you want me to be. I can be anything you want me to be. I can be gentle. I can be tender. I can be a little rough if that’s what you want. You tell me.

Sharon: You just don’t get it. I want you out of my life.

Cameron: Yeah? Guess what honey? We don’t always get what we want. Where are you going? You’re not going anywhere. Not yet.

Sharon: Get– get– get off of me!

Cameron: I don’t think so. I have waited too long for this.

[ Cameron shushing ] I promise you. I promise you, you’ll like this.

[ Sharon grunting ] Sit down! You wanna play it this way, huh? Huh? Take off your dress. Get that dress off. Do it. Take it off. Take off that dress now! Don’t make me ask you again.

Sharon: I would rather die.

Cameron: You little whore.

[ Both grunting ]

[ Grunting ] Ah, you bitch!

Sharon: I thought he was dead. I thought that I killed him. I hid his body. I tried to just move on with my life. I thought that the nightmare was over, but it was only just the beginning.

Adam: Here you are. I’m glad that you called me.

Sally: Oh, thank you for coming.

Adam: Of course. Of course. You can call me anytime. Always. Um, do you think that you’re okay to walk? The car’s just right over there.

Sally: I’m– I’m so sorry for interrupting your day. Really. I feel so silly. I just, I had double vision and it passed after I sat down for a little bit, so.

Adam: Well, that’s good, but I still think that we should go to the doctor anyway. I don’t think it would hurt to get you checked out, okay?

Sally: Yeah, no, you’re probably right.

[ Sally panting ]

Adam: What is it? Did you forget something?

Sally: No. There was a guy that was really helpful and he wouldn’t leave until I was okay. I don’t know. I was gonna thank him, but I guess he’s gone.

Adam: Well, I’m glad that somebody was here for you, but come on. I really wanna get you outta here and I wanna get you to the doctor.

Lucy: Dad, your tech team is on fire. The things they were creating were– were amazing. I mean, I just can’t wait to see the animation when it’s all finished.

Daniel: I’m glad you were so impressed.

Lucy: Princess louisa is gonna slay.

Lily: [ Laughing ] I mean, she was so enthralled she didn’t wanna leave.

Daniel: Oh, sounds like we have a hit in the making.

Lucy: And to think, I inspired it all.

Daniel: Best muse ever. Hey, uh, listen. Best muse ever, why don’t you head over to the bar and order some of that pie that you’re so obsessed with.

Lucy: At the bar?

Daniel: Yes, at the bar.

Lucy: And then I assume I’m supposed to eat it there too, so that you two can talk?

[ Lily laughing ]

Daniel: Well, that’s a great idea.

Lucy: Subtle. Seriously.

Daniel: Thank you. I try.

Lily and daniel: I have news.

Lily: Okay.

Kyle: Well, my parents aren’t upstairs.

Summer: They’re not out back or in the kitchen either.

Kyle: Guess mom couldn’t wait to get back out in the world. So much of rushing home to celebrate. I guess they were in a hurry too.

Summer: Who can blame them? You know, they must be over the moon. Nobody thought that it would happen this quickly. You too. I’m really happy for you.

Kyle: Yeah. Well, the relief is intense and I imagine it will only get better. But to be honest, I was terrified in certain moments, just like I know you are with phyllis right now, but I promise you, summer, we will find her and we will bring her home.

Summer: You’re so loving thinking about me and my worries right now.

Kyle: Hey, what else would I be thinking about? You know, we’re a team. I love you, summer. You’ve gotta know that.

Summer: I love you too. I gotta go.

Kyle: What? Where?

Summer: I, um, I’ve got an errand that I need to run and since nobody’s here to celebrate anyway–

Kyle: You’re leaving now? Just like that? Looking for a smarter way to mop?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

[]

Daniel: You go first.

Lily: No, you go first.

Daniel: Okay. Um, well, it’s huge. I mean, chance found proof that mom’s still alive and the charges against diane are being dropped.

Lily: That’s great. That’s amazing. See, wasn’t it worth it coming forward with the news about your mom? You did the right thing and it paid off.

Daniel: It does feel like a big weight’s been lifted.

Lily: So what’s gonna happen to phyllis?

Daniel: I have no idea how things are gonna turn out for her. And I highly doubt that she’s gonna suddenly come out of hiding and face the consequences for what she did.

Lily: Why do you think that?

Daniel: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe ’cause of who she is and what she’s done so far. Honestly, I’m not really sure of anything anymore. Except one thing.

Lily: What?

Daniel: Summer definitely knows where mom is, but she’s not gonna tell me. It’s driving me crazy. You know, thinking that she could be close by somewhere and I can’t see her. I can’t talk to her. I would give anything just to be able to hug her and just tell her that I love her and tell her how much I miss her.

Lily: I’m sorry. I know that’s really hard knowing that she’s close by and you can’t reach her. But listen, no matter what, you set something very important in motion and that’s diane’s freedom. So no matter what happens with your sister, you did the right thing.

Daniel: Summer would disagree, but it was a good thing. It was the right thing. I needed to be reminded of that. What was it you wanted to say?

Lily: Oh, uh, lucy knows that we used to be married.

Daniel: Who told her that?

Lily: I don’t know.

Daniel: Okay. How’d she take the news?

Lily: She was thrilled because she now feels like we’re star-crossed lovers who were destined to be together again.

Nick: If kirsten has a nerve to show his face in this town again after what he did, thinking he could weasel his way back into sharon’s life again–

Sharon: We don’t know that’s the case.

Nick: But he was obsessed with you, sharon, and he clearly still is. He’s deranged. The things he did to you, sharon thought he was dead and gone.

Chance: Meaning what?

Sharon: He made every moment a loving hell for me. He started all of that by haunting me outside of a window, somewhere in the shadows, so I could never get a moment away from my crime or my shame. It’s just all pain. Hold me tight. I was on edge, I was unraveling. And then one day, cameron showed up. He was alive and well. He said that he had been away on some island or something. He was acting as if nothing had ever happened. But this time he didn’t want me, just me. He wanted revenge. He wanted me to suffer.

Nick: He framed sharon for murder, then took her hostage.

Sharon: If it weren’t for nick, I wouldn’t be here right now telling you this. Nick, be careful. You’re gonna kill him.

Cameron: We’re both dead already.

Nick: Just like frank barrett, huh? I got the whole thing on tape. You’re going down, bitch. And this is for frank.

Pilot: Mr. Kirsten, everything all right back there?

Sharon: Nick, we are gonna parachute out of the airplane?

Nick: Babe, this may be our last chance to get out of this alive.

Sharon: God! Have you ever done this before?

Nick: Yeah. A couple times. It’s no sweat. Now listen to me. You jump out of the plane. You count to three, you pull this, all right?

Sharon: Okay.

Nick: Count to three. Pull that.

Sharon: Okay.

Nick: And we’re taking him with us.

Sharon: Nick, I’m so scared.

Nick: Don’t be. We’re gonna be fine. Now, come on. You’re gonna be fine. Count to three and pull. Let’s go. Get down there. Babe, when I open this door, you gotta hang on.

Sharon: Okay.

[ Door opening ]

Nick: I don’t care if you do it or not, but in three seconds, you might wanna pull that cord. Come on, babe. You turn. Come on. You can do this. You can do this. I love you. In three seconds, pull it.

Sharon: Okay.

Nick: Three seconds, okay?

Sharon: Okay.

Cameron: You are so sure that you’ve won.

Nick: We have won. Look at you. You’re pathetic and you’re gonna wish you were dead when all this is over.

Cameron: Then, you better kill me now, slick, ’cause if I walk outta here, you are dead.

Sharon: It was supposed to be over then. He was arrested, convicted.

Nick: He still needs to be in a cell.

Chance: Well, unfortunately that’s not the case.

Nick: But you understand what we’re dealing with.

Sharon: He’s relentless, vicious, and I will never let him terrorize me like that again.

Summer: I’m sorry, kyle. I– I’ll be back soon and we’ll all toast to your mom and her freedom. I– I promise you. It’s just– I– I have some things that I need to check on at the office.

Kyle: Now? Can’t you make a few calls and handle it from here?

Summer: I won’t be long. Please understand, okay? I’m not gonna be long. Ladies…

[ Sally sighing ]

Adam: Oh, false alarm. Just like we hoped. You and the baby are gonna be just fine.

Sally: It’s not that simple.

Adam: No, I know. You’re right. But your new medication is gonna be delivered soon. The doc is taking care of things. You’re gonna take the meds, you’re gonna ease up on stress and anxiety. And like she said, smaller, more frequent meals, okay? This is very doable. We got this. Look, everything is going to be alright.

Sally: You can’t be sure of that. I’ve been so careful. I have done everything that the doctor said. I’ve been eating well, I’ve been getting sleep, I’ve been taking my vitamins. How can I be at risk for preeclampsia when I’ve been doing all the right things?

Adam: I don’t know. It’s– it’s one of life’s mysteries. But now we know, so we’re gonna follow the doctor’s orders.

Sally: Yeah, but it’s not we. It’s me.

[ Voice breaks ] And I did something wrong.

Adam: No, you did something very right. That is why you called your ob exactly when you needed to.

[ Sally sniffling ]

Sally: Chloe and i really need to dive in to this assignment for chancellor-winters. Taking it easy is not on the agenda right now.

Adam: I’m sure that chloe would love the chance to shine. I mean, this could be her chance to show everybody how brilliantly talented she is. Why not ease up on the work and let her do more of it? I know that she could dazzle chancellor-winters. She could knock their socks off if she had the chance.

Sally: You really think so?

Adam: As a friend and a colleague, let her show what she’s got. Just– just delegate. That’ll give you more time to rest.

Sally: Since when did you become so calm and reasonable?

Kyle: Summer.

Summer: Kyle. What are you doing here? Did you follow me?

Kyle: Actually, I did. But only because you left the house without your tablet. I figured you would need it since you were going to the office, but I was surprised when you didn’t go to marchetti. What are you doing here?

Chance: I’m sorry to make you go through all that again. This guy is clearly a dirt bag. I appreciate you sharing that with me.

Nick: What good is it gonna do? You can’t do anything until this guy crosses the line and he knows that. He’s smart. He hasn’t made his way to genoa city, but I’m sure it’s on the agenda.

Chance: Look, I– I get it’s frustrating, but know the guy’s on my radar now, all right? He is a known perp contacting a former victim. That’s a dangerous combination. So, here’s what I think we do. If you guys get any more mysterious messages, keep sending them to me. I’m gonna see if I can find out where he’s been since he got outta L.A.

Nick: I do not want this guy anywhere near sharon or the girls.

Chance: I understand that. One step at a time, brother, okay?

Sharon: Thank you, chance. Just find out where cameron is and what he’s up to. We’ll decide what to do from there. (Bridget) with thyroid eye disease

Summer: I– I just came here to pick up a spa gift certificate for diane.

Kyle: That’s thoughtful of you, but you could have told me about it.

Summer: I know. I know. It’s just, you know, I’m feeling my way here ’cause things have been so ugly and difficult.

Kyle: Yeah, it has been for everyone. And I appreciate you doing everything you can to try to get past what’s happened. Well, I guess I better get back to the house in case my parents have gone back. Um, don’t forget your tablet for the office.

Summer: Kyle, wait. Hey, we can both go home together.

Kyle: You sure? What about the gift card and the office?

Summer: Well, I can get the gift card online and the office, it can wait ’til tomorrow. I would much rather be with you right now.

Kyle: Well, I’d much rather be with you too.

Summer: Hey, why don’t we pick up some bubbly on the way home so we can celebrate with your folks. And some balloons. Think that harrison might like that?

Kyle: Oh, champagne for the grownups, a balloon for the boy. Now, it’s a party. Come on.

Daniel: Yeah. I really wish you didn’t have to leave so soon.

Lucy: Yeah, I know. I’m meeting mom back in savannah. We have a few parties and some friends we’re meeting up with. I’ve missed them a lot.

Lily: Aw, I’m sure they miss you too. So, back to europe?

Lucy: Yeah. Mom’s got work to go back to. The blue suit gang.

Lily: Ah, the blue suit gang.

[ Lily and lucy laughing ]

Daniel: I’m sorry, the who?

Lucy: Inside joke.

Lily: Yeah, we have those now.

Adam: Me? Calm and reasonable? Hm.

Sally: It’s pretty shocking, huh?

[ Adam laughing ]

Adam: Uh, well if I’m acting that way, it’s only ’cause I’m– I’m putting you and the baby first. And in order to do that, I have to be calm and reasonable, no matter how much it goes against my nature

Sally: And boy, does it ever. But just so you know, I– I really appreciate it.

Adam: Can I tell you something?

Sally: Sure.

Adam: I’m just glad that– that you called me instead of nick. Oh, you– you– you did call nick, didn’t you? You– you– you called him first. Okay. I mean that makes sense. I get it. Um, I’m fine with that.

Sally: Really?

Adam: Really. Really. Uh, but you need to get your rest, so, um, I can, uh, I can stay or I can go. It’s your call.

Sally: Um, actually I would really appreciate it if you stayed. Maybe just for a little longer.

Sharon: Chance will have an update on cameron’s whereabouts as soon as he can.

Nick: Not if cameron doesn’t wanna be found.

Sharon: He’s screaming for attention. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent me the champagne and the postcard and the cigar box. Maybe that’s all it will be. Some creepy deliveries. He’s already been in prison twice before. Is he really gonna risk a third?

Nick: Who knows what he’s gonna do? He’s incapable of rational thought. Seriously, what is to stop him from making his way back to genoa city again?

Faith: Oh, my gosh. I’m so sorry. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.

Cameron: No problem at all.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

what’s in the box? Is it ticking? Digital detonators don’T. Yikes. I was just kidding. Even still, it is…light. Spencer, after everything we’ve been through with your uncle, you don’t need to open that. Mom, please. Call diane. Make the deal and testify against sonny. Josslyn, I don’t know how much of the conversation you heard — oh, my god. I heard enough. It’s a no-brainer. You don’t belong in prison. But sonny does. No, it’s just — I just wish you were here. You should be here, you know, with your daughter. Sonny, it’s very kind of you to say that. It’s true. Well, don’t worry. I’m not giving up. I’m gonna do whatever it takes to be with the people I love.

[ Breathing heavily ] I’m so gonna get fired! It’s not that bad. No, no, no, no. A-a-and on my first day. I — just — just take a breath. Take a breath.

[ Breathing heavily ] What is going on? Thank you. I’ll go get your lab results.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Taggert: Trina? Dna results? For trina? Trina decided that she wanted to know who her biological father was, so she had her dna tested against marcus’… and curtis’. And now the results are in. Marshall: What y’all waiting on? Get your butts over there to the hospital. Go ahead and be with trina. Come on. You’re right. I should get going. Sorry about dinner, dad. Oh, don’t worry about dinner. I’ll save you a bowl. Don’t worry about it. Just go. I can’t believe it. In minutes, I’ll find out if I’m gonna be a father.


Thanks for getting here so fast.You call and I come. That’s the way it is, and that’s the way it’s always gonna be. And besides, I wanted to have a little you and me time. Well, I only called curtis a few minutes ago, and the nurse just went to get the dna test results, so we should be good. How are you feeling?

[ Sighs ] I’m all over the place. Relieved that the wait is over. Terrified that the results won’t be what I was hoping. I hear that. Mostly, I’m worried about the future. I know we said nothing was gonna change — nothing is gonna change. Not between us. Yeah, I want — I want to believe that, but… it happens all the time. People think nothing’s gonna change, and then in a heartbeat, everything’s different. That’s people, not us. That’s what I keep telling myself, too. But it’s just not realistic. And the truth is, those results could change everything. Curtis, I just want you to know, no matter what those results say, we all love you, and we’re here for you. A-and your father and i would be happy to come with you if — if you want the support. Thank you, aunt stella. I appreciate it. Portia and i will be fine. Oh, I-I don’t think that trina would want me there. She’s your daughter. This is a potentially life-changing day for her. And whose fault is that? Trina called you. She didn’t call me. I-I think that speaks for itself, so I — portia, I know the two of you have some things you need to work through. But one day, trust me, she’s gonna look back and she’s gonna be glad her mama was there for her. Okay. And if — if either of you need anything — stella, stella, we’re gonna be here holding down the fort, just a phone call away.

[ Door closes ] Yes, sonny hurt me. He hurt all of us. And I’m not saying we forgive and we forget, but we move past it. We move on. What I won’t do, what I definitely won’t do is have someone else pay for my mistakes. I’m sorry to interrupt. Uh, I got to — I got to be somewhere. Can you tell willow that I’ll see her tomorrow? Will do. Alright. You gonna go see nina? Uh, yeah. Take care of yourself. See, he’s, uh — he’s still choosing nina over his own family. Okay. You know what? It’s his fiancéE. Mom, if you don’t make this deal and you actually go to prison, he gets donna full-time with nina. Why are you sacrificing yourself for him after everything he’s done? Alright, josslyn, josslyn, enough. This is mom’s choice, okay? We have to respect that. Oh, and you’d know all about making choices that hurt innocent people, wouldn’t you? I’m so sorry. I-I-I so screwed up. It’s hardly a disaster. Can one of you please tell me what’s going on? This is all my fau– not you. I-I just got like 5 million text messages in the last half-hour. What happened, and — and why are you here? I’m here because I was made aware of a minor snafu, and I thought I might be able to help put out some fires. Fires? Plural? It — it seems esme, uh, inadvertently forwarded an e-mail from a source to the global address book.

[ Gasps ] Opening us up to being scooped? Making our source vulnerable? It — it — it — it was an accident. I thought I was just gonna be answering phones. I’m trying to do everything that’s expected of me, but all I can think about is how ace is staying with people who are trying to take him from me, and I — as you can see, esme was already pretty frazzled by the time that e-mail came in. How bad is it? I worked with the staff to blunt the damage. Now everything’s handled. It’s all fine. Really. Really? Really? Really. Esme. I need to be able to count on you to handle sensitive information responsibly. Mm-hmm. But it’s your first day, so I’m going to trust that you can and that you will learn from your mistakes. Wait, so I’m not fired? Not today. But you never know what tomorrow will bring. Clock out. Clock out! Yes. Thank you. I’m so sorry. I promise you won’t regret this. Um, at least not more than you already do. Um… think she’ll show tomorrow? I’m calling a temp agency. I feel like I should at least know what it is. Everyone else’s gifts were innocuous enough. Ava: Open it or don’t, spencer. But whatever it is, don’t keep it. It’s up to you.

[ Knock on door ] Anna, you made it. Please. Hi. Yes. Come on in.Sorry. I got held up at G.H. That’s alright. Uh, this is victor’s executor. Anna devane. Jb brown, esquire. Oh, mr. Brown. Yes. I saw your name on the invitation to this — whatever — get-together. Do I even want to know what I missed? Uh, victor has found a way to be present from beyond the grave. Please take a seat. Thank you. Hi. I’ll open this later. Let’S…get this over with. Mr. Brown: Shall we continue? Please.

[ Computer beeps ]

And now for my other nephew, nikolas cassadine.


Victor: Or should I say…

Was nikolas invited to this? Does victor know where my son is?

…Prince nikolas mikhail stavrosovich cassadine. I’ll never forget how you came to my aid when I needed you. While your family mourned your death, we helped each other build new lives. Sadly, hard times have finally caught up with you. But when the going gets tough, you need a — a home away from home. I trust spencer will take good care of my gift to you until you return.

[ Computer beeps ]

[ Computer beeps ]

I’ve left perhaps the greatest gift of all to my formidable opponent, special agent anna devane. Oh, my dear anna, we’ve both been in this business long enough to know that eventually, our sins catch up with us. So I leave you… the truth. So, you think everything’s gonna change? Why? The only way nothing’s gonna change is if that test says you’re my biological father. And if not, I’m still your father. You’re still my daughter. I mean, there’s no test gonna tell us how we feel about each other. It’s not about what the test says. It’s about what blood says. I know we’re not gonna stop loving each other, but we’re both gonna have to live with the fact that I have another father, one who I’ve missed out on 20 years of getting to know. Oh. So, um, do you regret spending all of that time with me instead? Of course not. Then what’s the problem? If it turns out that curtis and I… I’m concerned the more I get to know curtis and his relatives and the closer I get with them… …the more I’ll hurt you. Okay. Can you explain to me what really happened with that e-mail that she sent to the entire planet? And — and what are we gonna do about the fallout? How did you manage that?

[ Sighs ] The editors were divided about the best way to handle the leak. So while the staff tried to reach you, and they did try… I was at my genocidal uncle’s will reading. I couldn’t take any calls. …I have had some experience with sources in the past. Fortunately, this one was communicating to us through an anonymous e-mail account, so… and we refused comment to anyone who called to follow up and, uh, legal watchdogged everything to ensure there was minimal damage to the invader. All in all, great way to spend an evening.

[ Sighs ] I appreciate that you came in to handle it. My pleasure. I must admit that I’m a little surprised to see you, in that you’ve been ghosting me. It’s very kind of you to come keep me company. Well, I thought that you would be, you know, worrying about willow, so here I am. Thank you. Yeah, I am. But I just keep thinking, if I stay away now, then I might be able to get her back later. But I don’t want to talk about this subject anymore. I want to talk about something happier. What do you have in mind? I do have something in mind, and that’s a little bit of a clue. I think I know what this is about. Yeah, so I have some ideas about our wedding, and I’d love to share them with you. Well, I’d be happy to look at them. I know you don’t really care about that. Well — grooms usually don’t care about things like this. You know what I care about? Spending my life with you. And knowing you care about that… is what keeps me going. What the hell is going on? Why don’t you go ahead and tell her, michael? Look, mom’s got enough on her plate right now that we can figure this out on our own, okay? Or you could just tell me.

[ Cellphone rings ] It’s pilar. I have to take this. If this isn’t over when I come back, I want to know. Look, josslyn, you can be as pissed off at me as you want. Oh, well, thank you, but I don’t need your permission. And I don’t want to be mad at you. But you — I know what I did. I’m just saying leave mom out of it. She’s got enough to worry about. She doesn’t need to be taking on anything else right now. Michael, I don’t want to drag mom into what you’re doing to dex, either. You know, maybe it’s a good thing you didn’t turn sonny in.


I’m sorry about going radio silent. I thought about reaching out, many times, actually. Why didn’t you?

[ Sighs ] When I was diagnosed with als, I-I — all I could think about was not wanting to be a burden to anyone. Even though you urged me to tell the truth, by telling you, I felt like I had dumped this massive burden on you. And then when I didn’t hear from you, I assumed I was right about that — that I scared you off. That is, until I got that last text message you sent. Gregory, the reason I didn’t contact you is because I was a-afraid that you would think I was disregarding your boundaries. And then I-I talked to my daughter. I didn’t tell her anything. No details. I — but she told me there’s a big difference between inserting yourself into someone’s life when you’re not wanted and — and just simply reaching out to let you know that I’m thinking about you. I convinced myself that I could go it alone. But then your text helped me realize I was wrong about that. And how much I need a friend. Eat this gumbo before it get cold.

[ Sighs ] I can’t even think about food right now. Don’t think. Just eat. As we speak, curtis, portia, and trina are going through something momentous, and they need the support of their family. We are supporting them, stella. W-w-we’re supporting them by giving them the room they need to deal with this issue, regardless of what happens. Then — then they gonna come back to us. Come to you. Curtis might come to you, but [Scoffs] My nephew wants nothing to do with me. He’s still upset that I ran away from his wedding. Ah, you may have — you may have run and hid, but at least you came back. Took you long enough. And here you are, letting my gumbo get cold. I-I appreciate what you’re trying to do. And I know you think curtis will forgive me. But I wasn’t there for him when he needed me the most. And I’m just afraid that I’ve — I’ve lost him forever. When I look at you, I see that little baby I used to hold in my hands and sing to sleep at night. I see that girl who demanded I take her training wheels off her bike and the same little girl whose skinned knee I was patching up when she crashed not even moments later.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] When I look at, um, you, I see your whole life. The good, the bad. I see parts of your life that I wasn’t even a part of. Because you’re gonna be here. ‘Cause you’re always gonna be a part of my life, and I’m always gonna be a part of yours. So if, um — whew. Um… if you end up being another — part of another family, it doesn’t mean you’re not mine. Oh, come here. Anna: Alright, so that’s it? Victor wanted to taunt me one last time? Are we finished? Not quite.

[ Computer beeps ] Victor: Finally, to our illustrious mayor, laura collins. Oh, my dear, dear laura. If you’re watching this, it means you’ve won. You are the sole survivor of the great game we began all those decades ago. So I leave you… to live the rest of your life in peace with my respect and admiration, knowing that you were indeed a worthy adversary. Congratulations.

[ Computer beeps ] That concludes the reading of victor cassadine’s last will and testament. I leave you to your grief.

[ Coughs ] Thank you for everything, mr. Brown, and thank you again for coming to the apartment. I appreciate that a lot.

[ Sighs ] I’ll get the door for you. Bye-bye. So… so, spencer, what’s in the envelope? Oh, this? Yeah. This is a, uh… private family matter, and you’re no longer — spencer, I’d like to know what’s in it, too. Okay.

[ Clears throat ]

[ Sighs ] Well, it’s in russian. So, anybody? I think anna can speak russian. Anna. What?Can you read russian? Uh, yeah, a little. Why? Okay. Let me see. Oh, I-I don’t know. It’s like a deed to a property. Uh, right here — right here’s the address. See? I mean, I-I can’t — sorry, I — sorry I can’t be of much more help. Thank you, anna. Uh, could i get you something? I mean, I think we could all use a stiff drink at this point. I’m sorry, no, I — I have to get going, really. So, what do you think this, um, is about? This truth that you’ve inherited? Oh, I don’t know. It’s just a mind game, really, isn’t it? Victor’s attempt to get me to obsess about something, drive me to distraction? Whatever. Oh. That old song. I know it well. I’m not worried about it. Still, I don’t think any of us should take a gift from victor at face value, right? Yes, we know better. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Excuse me. Thank you. Thank you for coming. Oh, thank you, laura. Yeah. Bye. Take it easy, now. Yes. Okay, so why would victor leave nikolas property? Look, mom has to defend herself against the insider trading charges. And now that you’ve left dex hanging out to dry, she can. Look, joss, nothing is official. We don’t even know if the justice department is even going to make her an offer. Well, why does she have to wait? She can bring the offer to them. She could save herself and drew. Once, you know, you give her the smoking gun. Oh, come on, joss, you don’t mean — yes, I do mean the recording that dex risked his life to make. The one that makes sure sonny goes to prison for the rest of his life.


I’d like to set the date far enough away to give willow a chance to recover, just in case she wants to go. I know it’s a long shot. Whatever you want, we will do. Uh, that’s — I’ll be right back. Yeah? Oh. Hi. Anna, good to see you. Yeah. Nice to see you. You, too. I know you just got back from answering questions about greenland. We — we need to catch up. Yeah, I would like that. I’m sorry. I just — I have to do this. Oh. Oh, okay. You — you risked your life to save my aunt so she could save my daughter. And for that, I will be grateful to you forever. It — it was nothing. That’s — anna, it was everything. I had my reasons for not wanting to use that footage against sonny. Mm-hmm, and how do those reasons compare to our mother going to prison? Something that you have the power to stop. Give the video to mom and tell her to take it to the feds. Guys, look who I found. Tj: I was just coming to find you. I have an update about willow. Well, is the transplant finished? I looked up the address. It’s in chechnya.

[ Sighs ] Well, the cassadines are originally from russia, so maybe it’s an old home of theirs?

[ Sighs ] Is the will reading over? We just finished. Okay. What is this doing here? This is ace’s favorite blanket. Why — why doesn’t he have it? Where is he? He’s asleep, esme. You put him down without his blankie? God, I can’t leave him alone for a second. Can you believe her? You know, she just got ace back, and then she had to leave him again for work. Uh, it’s just hard on a mother. Anyway, victor said that nikolas had helped him. And we know that nikolas gave him shelter, and then victor returned that favor. Well, I got wyndemere in the divorce, so maybe victor is using this as a replacement? In chechnya? Well, it would guarantee I wouldn’t visit. I don’t know. He said, “when the going gets tough, you need a home away from home.” What are you thinking? I’m wondering if this is where nikolas has gone to hide. We’re still waiting. I hope it’s okay that — that I’m here. I can leave if you want. No, no, you — you should stay. I’m sorry. I should have — I should have called you. It’s okay. I was with curtis when you called. I know. I moved my things back in tonight. So have you two worked things out? One day at a time. Miss robinson. Here you are. Thank you. I guess it’s now or never.


It says that curtis is my biological father. Hey, you know what? Um, it’s okay, baby. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. I wanted to know the truth. And now I do. But, um, I want to make one thing clear. I care about you, curtis. I do. And I know we’re gonna need to figure out where we go from here. Whatever our relationship is, whatever — wherever it goes from here… …I just need you to know that I’m not looking for a replacement father. And I hope that you can accept that. Stella, you raised him to be loving and — and trusting and to have faith in his opinions and to hold himself and others to high standards. But you know what else you did? You raised him to be forgiving. As upset as he was with portia, he still decided to move back in here so he could work on his marriage. And it was her secret that you were holding. You were also holding my secret. Now, if he could forgive me and portia, he definitely can forgive you. You really think so? Oh, shoot, girl, I know so. Thank you for admitting that you need a friend. I need a friend. And I’m glad for friends. It’s mutual. And I promise that I’ll follow your lead regarding your illness. And I hope that you’ll just let me be a part of it while you’re going through it. Deal. Deal.

[ Chuckles ] Awesome. Thank you. And also thank you for stepping in to handle esmegate.

[ Scoffs ] It’s nice to feel useful. You miss it. Of course I do. Oh. I was expecting a little pushback, but go on. I-I really enjoyed volunteering here. Yeah, it was exciting and — and gave me some purpose. I missed it. And…you. Can I make an observation? Has my objection ever stopped you?

[ Chuckles ] I know you wanted this job, and you didn’t take it because you didn’t want people to know you were sick. Because if they did, they would think you wouldn’t be able to handle it. Tell me if I’m wrong. If victor had nikolas safely tucked away in chechnya, why mention it here? But if nikolas was aware of the place already, maybe he went there without victor knowing. Ace is sleeping soundly, with his blanket. If you’ll excuse me, grandmother. Esme, sit down. Um, no, thank you. I’ve been sitting all day, and it wasn’t exactly a very good day to begin with, so… okay. Whatever it is, please just tell me. We might know where nikolas is. W-where? Is he in port charles? No. No, no, not in port charles. But if this information is what I think it is, then it’s possible that nikolas is holed up in some remote part of chechnya. Or not. Laura, there’s no proof at all that he’s there. But it’s the best lead we’ve got. I mean, maybe we can find him and finally bring him home. Yes, willow’s bone marrow transplant is complete. Oh.

[ Laughs ] Thank god. So, uh — so what are the next steps? So, willow will remain in the hospital to give the donated bone marrow cells time to create new cells in her body. Now, that process is called engraftment, and it can take some time. How long? Every patient is unique. Sometimes as little as two weeks. On the outside, maybe six or more. Now, once engraftment has occurred, willow can go home, but we’ll still want to track her recovery in case complications arise. What kind of complications? Willow’s body is essentially rebuilding its immune system, so she’ll be highly susceptible to infection. We want to monitor that. Another possible major complication is graft-versus-host disease, which is when the patient’s body rejects the donated cells. Wow. That’s — that’s a lot to take in. Try not to worry. Willow is getting excellent care, and we’re optimistic that she’ll make a full recovery. Okay. How is willow? Receiving her bone marrow transplant thanks — thanks to you. I’m happy to hear that. You okay? Probably not. Agent anna devane. Anna: Yes. Can I help you? You…are under arrest.


I understand how you feel, laura. And even though things ended badly between us, I want nikolas back with his family. But you can’t go on some wild goose chase to chechnya. It’s dangerous. I’ve been worse places. You know that nikolas has managed to vanish more than once before. He would hide someplace where nobody would think to look, not on some old family property, right? I just don’t want you to set yourself up to be disappointed or shocked. Well, I appreciate that, ava, but, uh, I can’t just sit around here wondering, you know? I have to see for myself. If there’s even a chance that I can find nikolas, I have to take it. The doves I was gonna give to trina. Uncle victor saved them for me. But why? It’s true. I was afraid to take you up on the editorial board position. I didn’t want anyone to find out I was sick. Well, I didn’t tell anyone, and I’m not gonna tell anyone, so we’re over that hurdle. And…

[ Sighs ] …I wasn’t sure I was up to the job. Are you kidding me? You just proved to me and to the entire staff that you are more than capable of — of getting in the thick of things. And more importantly, you proved it to yourself. So… is that position on the board still open? It’s funny you should ask, because as luck would have it, I never got around to filling it. You know curtis means everything to me. I do. Thank you for being there for my sons when I couldn’t be. And I want to thank you for stepping up… when I wasn’t strong enough to face curtis myself. That’s what a family does. We help each other out. Yeah. When we’re at our best. And when we’re at our worst. That’s when we need the most help, right? Yeah. What I need right now is some of your gumbo. Ooh.

[ Laughs ] ‘Cause I’m hungry and it smells good. You ain’t said nothing there! Let’s partake. Let’S… why don’t you say it, stella? Come on. Oh, dear lord, thank you for our family. I understand. And I want you to know the last thing I would ever try to do is take your father’s place. I care about you a lot, trina, okay? So from here on out, I’ll just take your lead. I appreciate that. You could, um, do worse, having two dads. Especially one as good of a man as curtis. So, um, I’m — I’m just gonna leave you guys to — to work this out, okay?

[ Crying ] Okay, wait…

[ Elevator bell dings ]

[ Crying ] Tj, thank you so much. I’m just happy to finally deliver some good news. Uh, can I — can I see her? Of course. And if you need anything, let me know. Thank you. Thank you. Did you hear that? Yeah. Full recovery.

[ Laughs ] We have to be, you know, still careful, but — we will. We will. We’re gonna follow all the guidelines. And at the end of it, willow is gonna be okay. So whatever’s going on between you guys, just end it, okay? Because nothing’s more important than being here for each other as a family. You’re absolutely right, mom. We’re — we’re gonna do what’s best for the family. Right, michael? Anna: What is this about? I can’t say more until we’re in a secure location. Well, I have a right to know why I’m being arrested. Or I’m not going with you until I find out. I’m sure you’ve clocked the agents in position in this room. Yeah. I expect there’s a lot more of them stationed around the hotel to prevent any escape. And all of this is for me? I’m flattered. It would be best if you came voluntarily. But if not, we can do this the hard way. Anna, you want me to call diane for you? No. Thanks, I’m good. Well, I look forward to finding out whatever the truth is. You have the right to remain silent — I know my rights. Then by all means. .

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I brought you some painkillers. Oh, thanks. I’m fine.

How’s Mayor Carver? He’s still in the hospital. He’s recovering from surgery and it looks like he’ll be okay. Thank God. Please, Colin will be charged with murder. Now

you bitch, you’re doing. I beg your pardon? I’m sorry. I, I know you’re pulling a price

and I thought. Waiting for the doctors to finish. Operating was bad. Sitting here seeing you like this.

Come on, Abraham. You’ve been outta surgery for hours now. Biggest time that you opened those big, beautiful eyes and came back to us. Can you do that for my love? Please

wake up. Well, you heard what Taylor said, mama. He suffered a serious head trauma and then there was a long surgery. His body needs time to recover. He should come around soon. Oh damn. Colored Bedford. Whacking my sweetheart in the head like that. Oh, that son of a bitch is pure evil. Yeah. Told you too. She played a big part in this.

Oh. Oh, you don Oh, I can’t take it anymore. I’m gonna, I’m gonna go have to find, okay. I’ll stay here with you. Okay. Thanks baby.

Nicole. Hey, why haven’t you called me? You said you got the swab right? That’s in my hand as we speak. Can you meet me at the park in an hour? That, um, little area near the rec center. I’ll be there. And Sloan, I, I’m. I am really grateful that you got the sample from Eric. Yeah, well, like I said, I have a vested interest.

I’m just hoping to hell. His DNA is not a match for that baby you’re carrying.

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

Nicole, Anna. Hi. So how did it go last night? Were you able to get a, a DNA sample from each a. Unfortunately, no. No, but that sleeping pill should have knocked him out like a light. I, I’m sure it would’ve if he had taken it, but he got called away on business before he could. Oh no. Darn it. Well, when do you expect him back?

I don’t know, but, uh, it doesn’t matter. What are you talking about? How will you get a sample now? I don’t have to. Sloane did she got one from Eric last night.

Oh, that was fast. Helps when you know the owner, I got us an egg sandwich with cheese and a black coffee for you. Ah, that’s so sweet of you. Yeah. Do you mind if I just take it to go though? I kind of wanna get to the hospital and check on Colin. Yeah. Well, you need to take a test first, right? Test. Yeah. The virus outbreak that you and Nicole went on and on about, on the 10th floor.

Remember you even said you had to prove it to the hospital that you weren’t carrying the virus before they let you visit. Oh, right. Actually, I just called the hospital. They said apparently, I don’t know, they contained the virus. So I don’t have to take the test today. Great. Truth is you never had to take a test, did you?

So you think I’m pulling a price? Huh? What? Do all black women look alike to you? No. No, no. I just, I only seen you from the back and a little on edge, as you can imagine. Yeah. On edge and nasty and rude here. This is some medicine to ease your pain. Although you don’t really deserve it, do you for all the pain that you caused our beloved mayor, no full story.

All right. Uh, maybe I should just ask to assign another nurse. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Mr. Bedford, I am your nurse whether you like it or not, and I will do my professional best to heal your body, but you are gonna have to heal your own soul. You hear me? Young man, it’s gonna take prayer and, and humility and repenting for your sins and.

If you believe this with your whole heart, maybe the good Lord will see fit to allow you entry into the kingdom of heaven.

You’re seriously worried about that monster at a time like this. Have you forgotten where you are and what you did to aid? And I bet that son of a bitch, the only person that you need to worry about right now is Talia. Look, okay. I know this is bad, okay? But I mean, this is my first defense. They can’t go that hard on me.

Right? Wrong. I just had a visit with Da Trask and she intends to throw the fuck at you. Wait, what? You can’t be surprised. She was one of your victims. She ended up in the hospital thanks to your poisoned biscuits. She could have died, although as as tragic as I would’ve been. I mean, that would’ve been better for you because now you have a pissed off.

A very pissed off district attorney who is gunning for you. Love you. Why Talia? What the hell were you thinking?

You don’t deserve to be lying in this bed. You wouldn’t be If I hadn’t gotten involved in Nathan Bedford all those years ago. Everyone keeps saying that it, it isn’t my fault that he was in a position of power and he, he took advantage of me, but I can’t help feeling responsible for what happened to you.

Colin wanted Mama and me to pay, and now you’re stuck suffering the consequences. And for that I am so, so sorry.

Oh my God.

Oh, oh, I got you. You’re awake. I I wait until I’m gonna get back. Actually, I’m gonna, I’m gonna text her. I’m gonna text her right now. Where,

where am I? Oh, um, you’re, you’re in the hospital. Do you remember what happened?

Well, um, you were attacked, you were hit over the head and then you had to get brain surgery, but now you’re awake and you’re gonna be okay. Thank God. Thank God.

Who are you?

Colin Bedford. I’m Commissioner Hernandez. As you know, you’re under arrest. I just wanted you to know that you’re gonna be facing a long list of charges. Attempted murder, kidnapping, false imprisonment. Is that it? Well, I’ve probably forgotten about a few, but, uh, well, there’s plenty of time for that. In fact, your doctors tell me that you’re all enough to be discharged.

So I got a detail on its way down here to take you to the station. Well, you’ll be booked, officially charged, and then, uh, taken to a holding cell. What about Talia? What about Talia? Anyone should be charged with attempted murder.

Help me understand this. Okay. You graduated at the top of your med school class. You had your pick of residencies all across the country. You were on track to star what was sure to be an amazing career. But instead you, you threw that all away. To what? To come to Salem. To what? To terrorize two people that you didn’t even know.

I didn’t terrorize them then, what would you call it, Talia, you trash polling in’s office. You, you tried to ruin Chanel’s business by poisoning half the town. People were seriously hurt because of you. Okay. I get it. Okay. I feel bad enough as it is. I get it.

Oh, I don’t think that you do, and I wasn’t kidding earlier. You are incredibly lucky that no one suffered permanent damage or worse. Why Talia? Why in God’s name would you wanna hurt so many people that you don’t even know? I mean, especially Paul and Chanel. I did it for Colin, but that’s what I don’t understand.

What kinda spell did the sick bastard have you under? Why would you do it? What would make you do this?

Sloan got a DNA sample from Eric. You mean that woman that Eric has been seeing? Yes, she found out that I was pregnant through an unhappy accident, although maybe not so unhappy because she agreed to help me get the samples for the paternity test, and she got a swab from Eric last night. Okay. Well that’s good, but don’t you need to get a swab from EJ as well?

Well, only if this was a legal case and hopefully it will never go there. But Kayla said she only needs one sample for comparison. And if she does have a swab from Eric and the d n A doesn’t match, then, then the baby must be ejs.

Listen, I, I have to go, I’m, I’m meeting Sloan at the park and she’s gonna give me the swab. Okay. Okay. But Nicole, there is one thing I’ve been meaning to ask you. Okay. What is it, Anna? Well, I know I did ask you before if, if you wanted this baby to be Eric’s and you didn’t answer me, so, um, maybe if I ask you a different question, if you find out that this baby is Eric’s, what does that mean for you and ej?

Honestly, I, I’ve been so stressed out about who this baby belongs to. I, I haven’t even thought about it. Well, I can only assume he will be fairly upset. Yeah. Especially since he just told me he loves me. He did right after he proposed,

Eric, what are you talking about? Why wouldn’t I have to take a test? I talked to my mother. I was checking on Abe to see how he was doing or if I could visit him today. Or if the hospital still had restrictions on visitors because of the virus. She had no idea what I was talking about. Okay. Well, maybe she just wasn’t aware.

I mean, Eric, your mother’s been slow. Stop. I know you were lying. You lied to me yesterday. You and Nicole didn’t have to take some test for some non-existent virus. What was that test for?

You’re clearly keeping something from me. I want to know what you gonna call are up to, and you’re gonna tell me right now.

Okay, fine. We are keeping something from you

close pregnant.

Pregnant? Yes.

When were you gonna tell me? She begged me not to.

She’s not sure. She doesn’t even know when she conceived. She doesn’t know if it was. With EJ or the night the two of you got high on those biscuits,

that explains the swab.

Yeah.

I just don’t understand. How did you get involved in this?

I found out Nicole was pregnant because she dropped her prenatal vitamins in front of me, and then I just happened to run into her again after Kayla had given her a paternity test kit. Yeah, she didn’t know how she was gonna get the DNA n a samples from you or EJ without one of you knowing. So I told her I could get one from you, which I did.

BJ proposed. When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me? Well, because I turned him down. I, I didn’t feel like it was a sincere proposal. Not sincere. Let’s just say EJ started caving to peer pressure. We found out that Stephan. Proposed to Gabby. So EJ started to get worried and soon they would be a couple and it would look like that Stefan had the advantage and you know, more people in the rinks, so to speak.

So EJ thought if he proposed to me, there would be another dememer on his side. At least that’s how I saw it. And you told him that’s how you saw it? Oh yes. I was very blunt. Yeah. Well, I can’t imagine that he reacted well to that.

Actually, that’s when he told me he loved me. Oh, I almost forgot that part. That very important part. So how did you react to that? Do you love ej? Nicole? Look, I told you why I did it. Colin convinced me of how awful Paulina and Chante were and that justified C committed crimes against them because that sick bastard decided that they needed to be punished.

Look, it’s not like I said yes right away. I was against it at first.

But then I saw how much it meant to him, and he said If I truly loved him, then I would do whatever he wanted. Dear God, look, I was afraid of losing him, so you did whatever this guy said because you were afraid that he would leave you. I was in love, Gina. Okay, and when you’re in love, I don’t know. You, you do things that make that person happy, not illegal.

Criminal cruel things. Talia, you’re smarter than that. You are a better person than that. Yeah. Well, apparently not. Jayna. I tried, I I tried to talk him out of it. I swear I did, I promise. But every single time I tried to convince him that what we were doing were wrong and that Paulina and Chanel were actually cut decent people.

I don’t know. He, he would just get mad and I would, I would just drop him. What do you mean? He would get mad. He had a temper and he would accuse me of not caring enough of being a coward. Did he ever get violent with you? Talia? Did he ever hurt you? Answer me, Talia.

That double crossing bitch pushed me off the very Oh, that’s lovely. Double crossing, bitch. That’s how you describe your girlfriend. Huh? I would, just so you know, she’s also been arrested for her. Pardon? Your crimes? My crimes. She’s the one who Tres pointing his office. Who poisoned the biz? Yeah. Well, from what I understand, you’re the one who put her up to all of it.

Is that what she said? I swear I never held a gun to her head. She’s a grown woman and she can make her own decisions. I. Never ever forced her to do a damn thing that she didn’t want to do. Uhhuh. Right. Well, I guess that’s something that two of you can discuss with your lawyers, but uh, right now you got a date with the jail cell.

So, uh, few. Excuse me. I’m gonna see what’s keeping your transfer.

Hey, it’s me, Chanel.

Yeah. Yeah. I I’m your stepdaughter. Uh, you married my mom last year. Paulina Paulina Price. She’s your wife. Look, look, I’ll show you a picture

here. The ceremony was last Juneteenth. It was in the park, and it was such a wonderful ceremony and so full of love surrounded with family and friends. See, there’s mama. She’s beautiful, isn’t she? You remember her now, don’t you?

That woman.

You don’t recognize my mother, your wife. Sorry, I, I, I don’t, and you don’t recognize me either.

Okay. You know what? I am gonna go grab the doctors and I’m gonna tell them you’re awake cuz this might just be effects from the anesthesia. Are gonna leave me alone, Chantel. Chanel and I will be right back.

What? No, Colin never hit me. Well, you just said that he would get mad at you. And, and that’s why you would do the things that he asked of you. Yes. That, that’s true. Colin has a temper. I mean, he’ll even tell you that, but you have to know it’s because his parents died in the most awful way possible. Okay.

And he’s, he’s never recovered from that. So yes, he gets upset when things don’t go his way, and when he did get mad at me, it’s like he was sorry. Almost immediately. He would literally go out of his way to make it up to me, to show me how much he loved me. Like he’d, he’d go get me little presents. He would tell me how beautiful I was to him and how special I was to him.

My God. Snap outta it. Talia, can you please not be mad at me too? Oh God, I’m sorry. Okay. I’m sorry I’m not, I’m not mad at you. I am mad at this situation. I’m mad that I was oblivious to any of this going on. I’m, I’m sad heartbroken. Really? How could I have not known that you have been in an abusive relationship?

Wait, no. I, I literally just told you, Colin never hit me. Like not even once, Talia, you and I both know that there are other kinds of abuse.

Bedford’s discharge papers have been processed and he’s ready to be taken to the station. Oh, Ray Frank. Well, I’m glad you’re here. Yeah. The prisoners in room 10 14. I’ll be there in a few minutes. Yeah. What’s up, Paulina? Wait, is Abe okay? No, then that’s the problem and he, he still hasn’t woken up from his surgery and I, I can’t find Kayla anywhere.

Okay, well, hold on. I’m sure that Kayla is with the patient. Someone here can probably help you find her. Well, even if I do find her, you, uh, I’m almost too scared to even ask about Abe’s condition, you know, almost lost 10 months before, and now with them taking so long to come back to me. Well, I’m just a You don’t, worried I don’t, I’m, I don’t, I don’t.

Paulina. Hi, Paulina. Breathe. Okay. Okay. There you go. Hey. Hey. Keep breathing. All right, Uhhuh. Okay. Better help’s helping. Okay. Good. Okay. Is this help? Oh, yeah, that does. It does. It helps. It does help. Oh, I’m sorry. This happening here too. No, I love that man. I hate that this has happened to him. Listen, no, listen.

The best way that we can help babe. It’s by helping ourselves. Okay. But take care of yourself. Yes. Yes. Okay. Yes, yes, you’re right. I, I do know that. Okay, good. You know, good. And I know the best way that I can help Abe is by finding the bastard that did this to him and making him pay. Yes. All right. So he’s, find someone who can tell you what Kayla is and I’m gonna go do my job.

Okay. All right. Okay. Good. All. Hey, hey. And remember you help babe by taking care of yourself, okay? Yes. All right, babe. Forbes sake.

Hello, you. You are awake. How are you feeling,

Pauline? Excuse me. I know. I don’t know who you are. You’re my wife.

You took a swab of my DNA without me knowing.

How,

what do you think? Come on. You know, you sleep like a rock

now.

Supposed to go deliver this to Nicole? No, don’t. Don’t you have a brother to go see?

But what about Nicole? I can take it from here.

Oh, come on Nicole. Do you love ej? Or am I just being too nosy as usual? No, no. Anna, you are not being nosy. I know you’re only asking because, you know, you’re concerned for me and, and for ej, but it, it’s just, it’s, it’s complicated. Mm-hmm. EJ and I haven’t been back together that long and, and, and like I said, I.

I do care for him and we do have a long history and it obviously, I loved him enough at one time to, to marry him not long ago. And

I’m just, I’m just confused. That’s Holland. I really, I really need to know who this baby’s father is because if, if it is ejs, And Eric’s no longer in the picture then, oh, come on, honey. Honey, why don’t I put the question in another way and maybe it’ll be easier for you to answer. Hmm. Is it Eric that you love?

Oh, sweetie. I’m not trying to put you on the spot, and I hope you know that no matter what I am on your side. I do, I do know that, Anna, but please, can you, can you stop? Asking me questions and, and giving me advice because I just can’t deal with it right now. Oh, I understand. I understand. I, I, I really do need to be going.

Of course, of course. Honey, you are going to be strong. Because you know, no matter what happens, you’re gonna take care of things because you have to, right For the baby.

Thank you. What are you gonna do with that?

My guy said I’ll handle it. You have enough to worry about with your brother?

Yeah. So how to get to the hospital then,

Eric? Yeah. If this child does turn out to be yours,

I really hope it doesn’t change anything between us.

Talia. You know very well that emotional abuse is a real thing, and it sounds to me like that’s how Colin was abusing you.

Based on what? Based on what, how could you ask that this guy had you committing crimes for him and you told me that he had a temper? Uh, I’m not naive. Okay. Like, yes, I know that Colin has done some terrible things, but I mean, he didn’t just do them for no reason. Say that he had a hard life. You know, I believe we had a conversation about this sometime before Natalia, and I believe that I pointed out that a lot of people have had a hard life and they don’t resort to trying to murder people.

In fact, I know a lot of people who have had a hard life, and you know what? It’s made them stronger because they had to fight. They had to be resilient. I mean, Talia, how can you just sit here and be okay and give this man a pass because he had a hard life. So you’re telling me that anything Colin Bedford does is justified?

No, of course not. He could have killed Mayor Carver. He could have killed Paulina and Chanel. Hell, he could have killed me. Look, I know that. Okay. Why do you think that I pushed him off the roof. That is why I was trying to save you. I was trying to save Chanel. I was trying to save Paulina, and I know that I’ve made a lot of excuses for Colin before.

When I saw him point that gun at Chanel Jay, I know she knew I had to do something. I couldn’t just let him shoot her. I could not let her. Mama. Oh, what? Oh, sweetheart, I thought you were staying with Abe. Abe was awake. What? He woke up a few minutes ago. Oh, thank the Lord. Oh, oh, oh. I have to go see him. Okay.

Wait, wait, wait. Before you do, there’s something you need to know. Oh, okay. What is it? Uh, well, when he woke up, he didn’t recognize me. What? Oh, no, honey. Oh, please. Now I’m sure he, he, he’s just confused now. Come on now, let. Here. Let’s go see him together. He didn’t recognize you either. I, I, I showed him your picture and he said he’d never seen you before in his life.

What? No, no, no, no. I’m sure that’s just the drugs talking. Come on, you take me to him right now. Okay.

You’re asking if I’m your wife. Yes.

Now I, I, I’m. I’m not sure. I, I’m sorry. I, I just, oh, I just can’t seem to remember anything.

I, uh, except, except that there was a,

there is a young woman. And, uh, she said, uh, she said that she was your daughter, Chanel. Mm-hmm. Chanel. She, she, she was just in here, just in here,

and she showed me a. She showed me a picture of our wedding. She said we were married a year ago and, and, but she didn’t, she didn’t mention you were a nurse. Oh.

So you don’t remember anything at all? No, not much. Not much. Anyway, I. But your daughter Chanel,

she said I was attacked. Yes, yes, yes, that is correct. You were attacked by a horrible and despicable man, and I don’t see how anyone could hurt anyone As Sweden and kind as you are. Gentle. And the worst part of all is that you’re still in danger. Danger. Why? Because that horrible man is in this hospital right now as we speak.

Oh my darling. Sweet, sweet, Abraham, you are not safe.

Okay.

Listen, let’s just forget about calling Bedford for now. Huh? We need to get you arraign. I hired Bere to represent you. Wait, you got me a lawyer? Of course. What’d you think? I’d abandon you?

You’re my sister. I love you.

I love you too, Jada. And I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry about everything.

Shaw. What the hell happened? I went to unlock the guy and got the better of me. What? So, so pet got away. Oh my god.

Don’t worry, mama. I’m, I’m sure as soon as eight sees you, it all come rushing back. Oh, oh my God. Where is he? Where’s my husband? Where is he?

Don’t you worry my sweet Abraham, you are. Safe with me now.

Okay, little one. It’s time to find out who your father is.

[ Relaxing music ]

Carter: Katie’s handling the italian media.

Ridge: Look at you putting together an advanced team. Good for you, carter.

Carter: Thank you. All from international. Steffy wants them handling all the logistics in rome.

Ridge: All right, I gotta ask a question. Can anyone think of a more perfect place than rome in spring?

Eric: No. It’s a beautiful place. You’re right. But look, hope and thomas have been working really well together, but this is gonna be an intense experience for them. Is there any reason for us to worry about them working together?

Brooke: Steffy should have kept her concerns to herself.

Taylor: Steffy was just defending her brother.

Brooke: No. Steffy was accusing hope of having feelings for thomas, and she was getting liam to not trust his wife’s commitment. Come on, taylor, please. As my friend, just step up and help me. Go to your daughter, talk to her, and don’t allow her to do anything that’s gonna come between hope and liam.

Deacon: We’ve got some fantastic new chardonnays in the wine list. I’m gonna send victoria over now. Okay, great. Victoria, do me a favor, bring the new wine and serve it at table three, okay?

Victoria: Yes, deacon.

Hope: Ahem!

Deacon: Oh, look at this. It’s my favorite customer.

Hope: It is… busy today. Do you, um, have a table for me?

Deacon: You have a res? Uh, of course, I do. Best seat in the house. Bar side, up front with your old man.

Hope: Sounds great.

Deacon: So, what are you in the mood for?

Hope: Mm. Not really sure. I just, uh, needed to see a friendly face.

Deacon: Uh-oh. What’s going on, hope? Oh, god. Let me guess. This has to do with thomas, doesn’t it?

Hope: Ugh! Is it okay if we don’t talk about thomas?

Deacon: Honey, if he’s causing problems or– or if he’s done something, you can talk to me.

Hope: Dad, it’s not what you think, okay? It’s not what anyone thinks. I mean, everyone is so worried about thomas and me when there’s no reason to be, all right? And I’m– I’m tired of people not believing me, okay? I have the situation under control.

Deacon: What situation? Hope, please talk to me.

Eric: Thomas and hope have been working really well together, but an event like this can be very challenging.

Carter: They’re ready for it.

Eric: Any concerns, ridge?

Ridge: No, I think their work speaks for itself.

Eric: Well, it’s all about collaboration and teamwork, so.

Carter: It really is. And I’m– I’m so impressed with hope. Allowing thomas to rejoin the line. She knew what they could accomplish if she gave him a chance.

Ridge: So obviously, thomas’s past didn’t turn out to be the problem everybody thought it was gonna be.

Taylor: You know, steffy made it clear to liam and hope that she wasn’t trying to cause any trouble at all. She was just defending her brother.

Brooke: But you could imagine how liam reacted.

Taylor: Yes. Yes. Yes, I can. And what I would hope is that it would prompt a conversation between liam and hope because if your daughter is having feelings for my son–

Brooke: Well, hope doesn’t have feelings for thomas, so you don’t have to worry about that.

Taylor: Okay. Well, normally I– I probably wouldn’t worry about that, but I don’t know. You, um, you didn’t listen to me when I was saying the same things about thomas.

Brooke: Well, I couldn’t just forget about his past.

Taylor: Okay. Well, I guess I can’t forget that hope has logan blood in her.

[ Brooke scoffing ] When you have chronic kidney disease.

Ridge: All right. Carter, what else?

Carter: Uh, actually I wanna run this by you. I reached out to our associates in milano. Thomas and hope, they’re very excited about doing press, so they wanna set up some social engagements.

Eric: The more exposure, the better.

Ridge: Yeah. Okay. Uh, but they need to focus on what they’re doing, right? Let’s not have them run around having their picture taken.

Eric: Eh, that’s part of the fun, isn’t it? I mean, every time you and brooke went over there, you were front page news. Is– is brooke going with you?

Ridge: Is brooke go– why?

Eric: Well, hope for the future is her daughter’s line. Shouldn’t she go?

Ridge: You know what, dad? You’re not as subtle as you think you are. Thomas is lead designer, so should taylor go as well? Or what do you think?

Carter: I love this. I like this a lot. I like when we veer from the meeting and we explore your love life.

Ridge: My love life?

Carter: Yeah.

Ridge: There’s no love life. Those two women, they’ve sworn off of me for whatever reason.

[ Carter laughing ]

Hope: I’m telling you, dad, there’s nothing wrong. I mean, that is the problem. But I’m tired of everybody worrying about me constantly.

Deacon: Should I be worried? I– I mean, am I falling down at the job here?

Hope: No.

Deacon: Hope, listen, you can come to me anytime you want. You know that, right? If you wanna talk. Is that what this is about?

Hope: No, I don’t wanna talk about this, okay? Liam has already been concerned about thomas and me working together for a while now.

Deacon: Can’t say I blame the guy.

Hope: Except there’s no reason to be anymore, dad. I mean, it’s like I keep trying to reassure him and everybody else that thomas is fine now and no matter how hard I try, no one believes me.

Deacon: Define fine.

Hope: He’s better.

Deacon: Better– better than how crazy he was five minutes ago, better? I mean, it’s a pretty low bar, hope.

Hope: He is a professional. He has been a gentleman. He’s a better father to douglas now and let’s not forget, he is a very, very valuable part of my team.

Deacon: Okay. All right.

Hope: Okay.

Deacon: Great. I– I’m honestly happy to hear that, you know? I mean, look, I trust you not to put yourself in a tough situation, all right? You– you get your best qualities from your mother, but you get your street smarts from me, all right? You know your own feelings. I mean, look, if thomas isn’t setting off alarm bells, you know, you’re not getting that weird twisty feeling in your gut, I’m gonna say that you probably don’t have to stress about it. I mean, you know, you’re closer than anyone. Seeing him with new eyes, I guess. I’ll be right back.

Brooke: Hope has logan blood in her? What is that supposed to mean?

Taylor: Let’s see if I can clarify it. Honestly, it just means that hope has logan blood in her.

Brooke: Oh, my god.

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: Seriously?

Taylor: Seriously.

Brooke: Seriously, you’re gonna go there?

Taylor: Come on, brooke. I’m not– I’m not trying to fight or anything. No. But I will always defend my family and thomas has changed. He’s doing so well. You have nothing to worry about when it comes to him working with hope, unless…

Brooke: Unless what?

Taylor: Well, unless hope is the one having inappropriate feelings for my son.

Brooke: Oh, my god. I– I thought we were friends.

Taylor: Well, friends can disagree.

Brooke: Respectfully.

Taylor: Right.

Brooke: Right.

Taylor: See, I have been very respectful about the way that you feel about my son. I don’t understand why– why is it wrong for me to share my feelings with you?

Brooke: It’s not the same thing, taylor.

Taylor: Oh, okay. Okay.

Brooke: You know what? You know what? Our pact meant a lot to me and I don’t want anything to happen to our friendship here, so I’m gonna do the right thing and I’m gonna take myself out before I say something that I’m gonna regret.

Taylor: Well, it’s too late for that.

[ Door closes ] (Wheezing)

Deacon: Don’t wanna take you away

Hope: I knew I came to the right place.

Deacon: Any time, kiddo.

Hope: Well, I, uh, don’t wanna take you away from your customers.

Deacon: Are you kidding me? Look, if my daughter wants to come in and talk to me, there’s nothing more important.

Hope: Well, I actually didn’t, uh, just come for pep talk or delicious food. I– I do have some news.

Deacon: Give.

Hope: My big press event.

Deacon: Uh-huh.

Hope: It’s happening in rome.

Deacon: Oh, you’ve gotta be kidding me. That is so fantastic.

Hope: I know.

Deacon: It’s fantastic. You know how much I love italy.

Hope: Absolutely. And– and it is just so exciting to me. The planning and the preparation. I mean, the whole office is buzzing.

Deacon: I would say that you’re buzzing.

Hope: Yeah. Well, you know, I’ve done business overseas in the past, but something about this time, it just feels different.

Deacon: Yeah. You’re launching a new collection. I mean, you gotta do it up big. I know you’re gonna kill it.

Hope: Thanks, dad.

Deacon: I just want you to know, I’m so proud of everything that you’re doing, all your accomplishments. More than anything, I’m just proud of who you are. Can’t believe you came from me.

Hope: Um, what was that you were saying a little bit ago about, uh, street smarts?

Deacon: Just wish that I’d been around to watch you grow up, you know, watch you grow into this incredible person.

Hope: Yeah. Hey, you’re here now.

Deacon: Damn straight. I’m not going anywhere. I know I messed up a lot in the past, but that part of my life is finished. The best thing that I have ever done with a little help from brooke is make a remarkable woman like you.

Ridge: That’s good. Just a couple of things you need to check on.

Charlie: Yeah. I’ll make sure we photograph all the locked items. And, you know, uh, by the by, I just want you to know I have this phrase book almost totally memorized. Just, you know, in case you need me at the last, uh, at the last, uh… momento.

Ridge: No, that’s– that’s great. If we have any frogs that need lipstick, we’ll give you a call.

Charlie: Oh, sure. Well, yeah. Yeah. Well, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, fosse, uh, uh, possibilimente, huh?

Ridge: Sure.

Charlie: Yeah.

Ridge: Okay.

Charlie: Are you okay? Well, uh, ciao, ciao.

Ridge: Ciao.

Charlie: Ciao [Indistinct].

Ridge: Okay. No, it’s good. I’ll look at the thing. All right. Almost there.

Eric: All right. Good. It’s good we have a moment alone together.

Ridge: What’s up?

Eric: Look… you know how much I love having family around. I love that you’re staying at the house.

Ridge: You’re throwing me out right now, aren’t you?

Eric: I am not throwing you out right now.

Ridge: You are politely asking me to get out.

Eric: No, there’s not a polite way to ask somebody to get out and that’s not what I’m doing. You can stay as long as you want. I’m just surprised that you feel you still need to and that the situation hasn’t resolved itself by now.

Ridge: Dad…

Eric: Look, you and brooke are capable of making your own decision by yourselves.

Ridge: She’s made her decision.

Eric: Yeah. And you know where I stand on that. You and brooke belong together. You always have and you always will.

Brooke: Oh, glad you’re both here. I need to confirm some details for the preview.

Eric: Uh-huh.

Brooke: If I’m not interrupting.

Eric: No, you’re not. In fact, it’s perfect timing. I have some things I have to do and I’m sure the two of you can sort things out on your own. You’re perfectly capable.

[ Ridge laughing ]

Brooke: Uh, okay. What is that supposed to mean?

Ridge: Oh, I don’t know. I’m not sure. It’s dad. He, um, you know how he feels about us.

Deacon: Hey, forget something?

Taylor: Um, yeah. Ironically, I– I did. Um, I forgot that brooke logan is brooke logan. I brought in ensure max protein with 30g of protein.

Brooke: Eric’s always been very supportive, very encouraging.

Ridge: Mm-hmm. Yeah. But he did give me a bit of a kick in the pants today, which I wasn’t expecting. He, um, he doesn’t wanna be my landlord anymore.

Brooke: Well, that’s not true. He misses you when you’re not around.

Ridge: Maybe. But, uh, I think he’d rather have me live somewhere else.

Brooke: Oh, so he thinks that we should work things out.

Ridge: Mm-hmm. He’s not subtle about it.

Brooke: No.

Ridge: You know him. He’s got an opinion, it’ll just– it– it’ll come out. He’ll tell everybody. His kids, grandkids. He’s always been your champion.

Brooke: Yeah, he’s always had my back.

Ridge: And why wouldn’t he? Look at you. You’re so beautiful, talented, great mom.

Brooke: Okay. Keep going. I could use all the compliments I could get today.

Ridge: You’re kind, you’re caring. You– you’re great.

Brooke: I’m kidding.

Ridge: Okay. You’re fun at a party. Even more fun after the party.

Brooke: Oh, my god. Okay.

Ridge: I miss you.

Brooke: I miss you.

Deacon: Do I need to remind you that you and brooke are supposed to be friends now?

Taylor: Yes, I know. Do you think maybe you could remind brooke that we are?

Deacon: Okay. Maybe I was getting mixed signals here, but it seemed to me like you were trying to get me and brooke together so that you’d have a clear path to ridge.

Taylor: No. That– that is not what I was doing. No, that– that’s not what I was doing. I– I was just– I was trying to do what was best for everyone at that point. I– you know, deacon, you’ve loved brooke for a long time. You– you have a child together. Your feelings for her have never changed.

Deacon: Pretty sure she doesn’t have the same ones.

Taylor: Well, but I– I was just saying, hey, give it a chance. You never know. You gotta go for it. And how great would it be if hope had her family together?

Deacon: Taylor, come on. Knock it off. You didn’t come all the way down here to tell me that hope wants to see her parents reunited. What’s going on with you? Just talk to me.

Taylor: Something’s going on. I– I– I’m not trusting brooke. I’m not trusting our pact. I’m not trusting anything right now. We had some words.

Deacon: Okay. Look, if the– the gloves are coming off, maybe I wanna take cover.

Taylor: But deacon, I– I wasn’t, and I’m not trying to manipulate brooke or stab her in the back. I just really believe that– well, you are a catch, you know. You’re– you’re handsome and you’re successful and charming and–

Deacon: All right. I– I– I– stop, dr. Freud. You’re gonna overinflate my ego. It doesn’t need any help.

Taylor: No, I’m serious, deacon. I just wish you could see what I see.

Deacon: Well, you really are good at what you do, aren’t you? ‘Cause you have got a knack for making people feel good about themselves.

Taylor: Yes. Well, that is why I get paid the big bucks.

Deacon: And because you’re a world renowned psychiatrist.

Taylor: That’s right. And don’t you forget it.

Deacon: How could I?

Taylor: Deacon, after today, I… oh, I don’t know. I, um… I think you might be able to help.

Deacon: Okay.

Taylor: You might just be the key, deacon.

Deacon: Me?

Taylor: To ending this toxic, destructive cycle that’s been going on for so long. You need to call brooke. You need to do it, deacon. Do it now.

Jack: Have you seen your mother?

Kyle: No, but I’m sure she’s around here somewhere. House arrest humor.

Jack: Not funny. And don’t let your mother hear you joking like that.

Kyle: Have you seen summer this morning by chance?

Jack: No. Have you tried texting her?

Kyle: I was hoping I wouldn’t have to. Last night, it felt like we were reconnecting. She apologized for being distant and pulling away, but she’s left without a word to me. Again, I wish it didn’t get to me, but it does.

Jack: Well, we’re all under a pressure cooker. There’s no telling how anyone’s going to react.

Diane: Oh, the conquering hero has returned.

Jack: Well, I don’t know about hero, but I got a book.

Diane: Yes, from a bookstore. So, you spoke to people. Thank you.

Jack: When you are a free woman, I will take you anywhere you want to go.

[ Diane exhaling ]

Diane: You know what? Let’s just go now, okay? Come with me, jack. Let’s just get out of here.

Michael: There she is, my favorite district attorney. Beautiful morning, isn’t it? I assume, since you picked the restaurant, I’m gonna pay.

Christine: Always a pleasure, michael.

Michael: Oh, oh, and you’re gonna offer, um, an insulting plea bargain, I’m gonna let you know right now that my client will most assuredly decline it, in the light of the fact that her supposed victim is, um, wait for it, still alive. Boom.

Christine: No deal.

Michael: And if I’m not paying, then why are you wasting my time?

Christine: There’s been a development.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: Getting coffee?

Daniel: No. I’m picking up something for lucy.

Summer: Let me guess, cinnamon bun?

Daniel: How do you know that?

Summer: We’re a family of cinnamon lovers.

Daniel: Must’ve skipped me.

Summer: Like so many other traits.

Daniel: Hm?

Summer: Let’s just skip it.

Daniel: Good idea. How are you doing?

Summer: I don’t know. My mom is in exile, jack and kyle just want to drag her back so she can be arrested and diane is dying to be my bestie, so I’m pretty much living a nightmare.

Daniel: Well, I know one thing that can make all your worries just disappear.

Summer: Magic?

Daniel: Mom comes home. No matter the consequences. Just like that.

Summer: Just like that? I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

Daniel: You know, when I talked this through with lily earlier, she made a lot of good points about accepting responsibility and earning forgiveness.

Summer: You told lily? All of it? Wow. Daniel, are you seriously incapable in keeping a secret? What’s wrong with you?

Daniel: I’m sorry, because I want our mother to come home? Yes, how dare I?

Summer: She’s not home if she’s in a prison cell. That part doesn’t seem to bother you at all, does it? But, there’s still time. Our special guest hasn’t arrived yet.

Nick: I’m gonna stop by later. I’m, uh, really calling about cameron. Have you talked to chance? Does he know anything about cameron’s location?

Sharon: Not yet. But on the bright side, I haven’t received anymore creepy postcards or bloody souvenirs.

Nick: Well, let’s hope it stays that way.

Sharon: You know, maybe this is all a misunderstanding and cameron’s still in prison. The twisted gifts are the last desperate acts of a man who’s locked away from society.

Nick: But why reach out now? You know, after all this time?

Sharon: I’m trying to set this aside for today.

Nick: Yeah, I hear you, sharon, but until we hear from chance though, we have to err on the side of caution. If cameron has been released, you have to protect yourself and you can’t do that until you know for sure.

Nikki: Nicholas?

Nick: I gotta run. Call me if you learn anything, okay?

Sharon: I will. Bye.

[ Footsteps ] Hello?

[ Door opening ]

Faith: That’s how you welcome your daughter? What are you doing?

Sharon: Um, I’m cleaning up. Come in. You’re here. You’re home. You made it.

Faith: Oh, mom. It’s so good to see you.

Sharon: Let me look at you, my sweet girl.

Faith: Wait. I brought someone home from school. He didn’t have anywhere to go. I really hope you don’t mind.

Nick: We should be ready to close that deal once we get the paperwork back from legal.

Nikki: To hell with the paperwork. Cameron’s been released? Where is that monster now?

[ Cameron sighing ]

Cameron: Ah.

[ Cameron sighing ] Oh. Oh.

[ Cameron sighing ] Oh, hey there, you handsome devil. And since no one’s told you yet, welcome back to genoa city. It is been way too long. Febreze!

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Nick: We don’t know if cameron’s been released. It’s just speculation at this point.

Nikki: Well, how did this issue even come up?

Nick: It’s just curiosity. Nothing more.

Nikki: Because if he has been released–

Nick: Mom, we will be all over it. I promise you, if anything changes, I will tell you.

Nikki: Please do. Because we can’t have a repeat of that situation. How’s everything else?

Nick: Well, I’m glad you asked. We need to talk.

Nikki: Okay, if it’s about the abu dhabi deal–

Nick: It’s not. It’s about vic and nate. What’s your opinion about that? Actually, let me give you mine first. It is a disaster waiting to happen.

Summer: Do you even… do you even know what loyalty is? Or– or how to keep a secret?

Daniel: Yeah, you might be used to this level of chaos and deception. I am not.

Summer: Right. Your life is perfect and righteous. I forgot.

Daniel: Yeah, I needed one person to talk to. Someone who wasn’t going to condemn me. Someone who could maybe see my side of things. That person happened to be lily and you just can’t accept it. You gotta turn it into this huge betrayal.

Summer: Fine. Have a friend, but you better hope that she is better at keeping a secret than you are. I’m so stupid. Like, why did I even tell you any of this?

Daniel: It doesn’t matter. Mom called me too. She may not have spoken on the phone, but I knew it was her. So, I would’ve figured it out eventually.

Summer: You know what, daniel? You need to be careful. Because if other people start finding out about this. I don’t know, people who… own media companies, then you are putting our mom in serious danger.

Daniel: You seem to be the one with all the knowledge. So, what do you suggest we do?

Summer: She stays hidden. Until we can prove that the situation she was in was kill or be killed. I don’t know, maybe we– we try to find the emt. Stark must’ve paid him off to do what he did.

Daniel: That’s a good point.

Summer: So, we find him, we get him to corroborate mom’s story–

Daniel: We can’t put all our trust in one guy though. Especially when his whereabouts are unknown.

Summer: Well, what else are we gonna do? We can’t just do nothing.

Daniel: What about kyle?

Summer: What about kyle?

Daniel: You know that this is upsetting him. You know he doesn’t like seeing his mother suffer like this.

Summer: Yeah, living in the lap of luxury, surrounded by her family. Poor diane.

Daniel: Mom started this. She’s the one who chose this path.

Summer: People make mistakes, daniel. Chance. Hi.

Chance: Hey.

Daniel: What’s up, man?

Chance: A lot, actually. I have some news.

Summer: How bad is it?

Chance: Depends on how you look at it.

Kyle: Uh, can I get you anything?

Diane: Yeah, yeah. A night at the movies. A day at the park. Feeding the ducks at the pond with harrison.

Jack: We will have all of that if we just show patience and a little bit of faith.

Diane: I’m trying.

Jack: I know.

Kyle: I was worried you were gonna bolt. Set off the alarm bells.

Diane: No. I’m not running anywhere. I have too much to stay for. But phyllis, on the other hand, she’s probably off on some island, sunning herself.

Jack: I know it’s frustrating, but we’re not giving up, are we?

Kyle: Someone will find her, the charges will be dropped, and we’ll all go back to our normal lives.

Diane: But time is running out.

Jack: Wait, why do you say that?

Diane: Because the longer it takes to find her, the farther away she can get. She can change her name. She can meet all the right people who will help her do all the wrong things. Trust me, trust me. I know how easy it is for a motivated person to disappear.

Kyle: They are going to find her.

Diane: I don’t know. By then, I may be rotting away in some prison cell. I think– I think we all just need to come to terms with it. It is what it is.

[ Doorbell ringing ]

Kyle: Hi. Um, come in.

Christine: Sorry to barge in like this.

Michael: But this is one of those times where you, um, don’t wanna kill the messenger.

Jack: Has something happened?

Michael: I wanna see the look on diane’s face when she gets the news.

Christine: We’re dropping the charges.

Diane: What?

Kyle: Yes! I knew it.

Jack: Some prayers are answered. Wow.

Diane: Wait. It– it’s true? This is real? It’s over?

Christine: It’s really over.

Diane: Oh, god. Kayaking is my thing.

Sharon: You– you brought a friend home?

Faith: I hope it’s not a big deal. I told him it wouldn’t be.

Sharon: Well, it’s not moses, is it?

Faith: No, but moses loves him too. I’ll be right back.

Sharon: You know, if you’d told me that you were bringing someone, I would’ve straightened up the guest room.

Faith: He can fall asleep anywhere. You’ll love him. Everybody does. Mom, borgnine. Borgnine, mom. He’s a cat.

Sharon: Yeah. Well, welcome borgnine. As long as you’re here, you’re family.

Faith: Speaking of family, when do I get to meet my new niece? I can’t wait to cuddle something that doesn’t shed on me.

Tessa: Did we hear someone asking about a niece?

Sharon: Hey! Come on in. Come in. Ah, I love having a full house. Everybody please, take a seat.

Mariah: What is going on here?

Sharon: Um, this is a cat.

Mariah: Oh.

Sharon: Who is staying in faith’s room, right now. Just a sec.

Mariah: Wow.

Faith: Is this our bundle of love?

Mariah: Oh, yes. Aria, I’m so glad you’re awake because you are about to meet somebody very important.

Tessa: See, this beautiful young woman is your aunt faith.

Faith: Hello, aria. I’m so happy to finally meet you. I have waited for this moment for such a long time. Normally, I would tell you that I’ll be the one to take you for your first tattoo or concert, but since your moms came pre-loaded with that stuff, I’m pretty sure it won’t be a problem.

Tessa: Well, that will be a long way off.

Mariah: Thank you.

[ Mariah and faith laughing ]

[ Faith sighing ]

Faith: She’s so beautiful. I love her already. Welcome to the family, aria.

Nikki: Well, it’s a shame that elena had to be hurt in this. She’s a lovely young woman. But victoria seems very happy.

Nick: Oh yeah, she was real happy about ashton too. And we know how that turned out.

Nikki: Yes. But, there was no way she could have known that he was the monster he turned out to be and anyway, we all welcomed him into the family.

Nick: No, not all of us.

Nikki: All right. The thing is, victoria does not need a chaperone.

Nick: We’ll agree to disagree on that.

Nikki: What do you have against nate? I mean, we’ve known him forever.

Nick: He was different then. Now, I don’t know. It’s like he can’t operate, so now he’s just stabbing everybody in the back. This isn’t gonna end well. Not for any of us.

Nate: Latte delivery.

Audra: You’re a mind reader. Thanks. Come in. Tell me everything I need to know.

Nate: What? About the streaming deal?

Audra: You said that you had some updated numbers that we can plug in.

Nate: Ah, yes. I meant to bring that printout, but I got distracted by something else.

Audra: Something… important?

Nate: Breakfast with victor.

Audra: What did he want? And how bad did it get?

Nate: Oh, it was going great. And then, we started talking about his daughter. And my future.

Diane: No murder charge? No– no trial? It’s all just wiped away?

Christine: The lead detective found evidence that phyllis was alive at the time of her memorial.

Michael: No body, no murder, no crime.

Diane: This is unbelievable.

Kyle: But how?

Christine: Well, chance followed up on the strand of hair that you found at the motel, which led him to finding a program from phyllis’ memorial.

Michael: Yeah. The lab examined the evidence, they found phyllis’ fingerprints as well as her dna, which proved that she was very much alive after she was declared dead.

Jack: There it is. What did I tell you? The proof we’ve been hoping for.

Kyle: You made it, mom. You’re free.

Christine: So, on behalf of the prosecutor’s office, and myself, I just, want to apologize. These were extraordinary circumstances.

Diane: So, what happens now? Now that you know that phyllis is alive? What happens to phyllis?

Chance: So, the lab ran some tests on evidence I found and they just called me back with the results.

Daniel: Is it a match to our mom?

Chance: You were right to believe your brother. Phyllis is alive. And you did see her, like you said.

Summer: So everything daniel said is true.

Daniel: I would imagine that this means D.A. Will drop the charges against diane.

Chance: Yeah. They’re telling her right now.

Summer: Oh, she must be thrilled. I’m sure you are too, right? Is this what you hoped? Diane is free. But what about my mom? What’s gonna happen to her?

Chance: Look, it’s out of my hands at this point. All I know is that when we find phyllis, she will be facing charges.

Summer: If you find her.

Chance: Oh, we’ll find her. Christine is not gonna let her get away with this. I guarantee, she’ll call a press conference and have a perp walk when we find her.

Summer: Christine has always had a grudge against my mom.

Chance: Well, after the money, the man hours, and the embarrassment, phyllis is now the poster girl for what happens to the rich and powerful when they bend the law. Christine wants her to pay.

[ Summer exhaling ] I won’t let me moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

Faith: Is it possible that aria’s even cuter when she’s asleep?

Tessa: No, that’s what I’ve been saying.

Faith: You can wake her up and do a comparison.

Tessa: Don’t you dare.

Mariah: I will kill you.

Faith: I’m kidding. I would never.

Mariah: We have house rules.

Tessa: You wake her up, you put her back.

[ Faith laughing ]

Faith: I want to know everything. Every time that mom calls, she’s always too busy to asking me about myself to tell me what I’m missing.

Sharon: Well, some things you need to hear about in person.

Mariah: I mean, you know about the gala. And phyllis.

Faith: It’s awful. Poor summer. I’ve called and texted but she never answers.

Sharon: Don’t take that personally. She needs time.

Faith: How’s dad?

Sharon: You will see for yourself soon.

Faith: And how about new motherhood to the world’s cutest baby?

Tessa: It’s the hardest job we’ll ever love.

Faith: I love that. Anything else I’m missing?

Sharon: Um, I’m just happy to have all my ladies here with me. Other than that, um, nothing unusual.

Cameron: Money doesn’t have much of a conscience.

Sharon: Yeah. Well, what about you, mr. Kirsten?

Cameron: Well, my conscience is, um, is kind of like my lawyer, my accountant. I can consult it, but, uh I don’t always follow its advice.

Sharon: If you ever, ever, mention to my husband having met me before, I will make sure that the whole world knows what a sicko you are.

Cameron: Don’t threaten me. Because you know what? I got nothing to hide. Now you, on the other hand, you seem to feel you have quite a bit to lose.

Sharon: My children are young, okay? They need me. Now, what possible pleasure could you get out of harming them? Well, that was a stupid question, wasn’t it?

Cameron: Not at all. I like that you came looking for me. So, we can discuss this privately.

Sharon: Please tell nicholas that you can’t make this dinner.

Cameron: Let me ask you something. Do I get a, uh, a little something in return?

[ Cameron sighing ]

Christine: At the very least, phyllis is guilty of fraud and obstruction of justice. On the other end of the spectrum, we have the murder of jeremy stark.

Michael: Which was reportedly self-defense.

Diane: Yeah.

Christine: Once they can track down how the ambulance crash was staged and how the bodies were switched out, that list is gonna get longer and longer.

Jack: It finally happened. Kyle, what do you think?

Kyle: It’s great. I mean, we can pick back up where we left off, wherever that was.

[ Laughing ] I need to find summer. She has to hear this from me.

Daniel: I’m just glad that diane can be back with her family, for good. We both are.

Summer: Right. Yeah. Of course.

Daniel: I just wish we could do the same for mom.

Chance: Well, look. Everything’s up in the air until we get a statement. I gotta run, but I’ll be in touch with any updates.

Summer: Wait, chance. That can’t be it. You must’ve found something else in the motel. Evidence to prove that it was self-defense?

Chance: The room wasn’t even preserved a crime scene. I was lucky to find what I did. Any sign of struggle, it was long gone somewhere.

Summer: Well, how am I supposed to help my mom?

Chance: You know I can’t advise you on that.

Summer: But she is innocent until proven guilty, right? All I’m asking for is that she’s able to come home without an extended prison stay. Look, any guidance that you can give me.

Chance: I’ll do what I can. Within the bounds of the law, okay?

Summer: Of course. I wouldn’t expect anything else.

Chance: First of all, phyllis needs to come home and she needs to make a statement. We all need to hear this from her lips. (Wheezing)

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Audra: You went toe-to-toe with victor newman himself and lived to talk about it.

Nate: It wasn’t toe-to-toe. It was a friendly conversation.

Audra: Does victor do friendly? He was trying to get a read on you, which basically determines your entire future. So, tell me all the details.

Nate: Well first, we started talking about my past as a physician. All the while, I’m trying to figure out what this meeting was about. Then, he brought up victoria.

Audra: Nothing like a little fatherly interference.

Nate: That’s when I knew that the only way out was being totally honest.

Audra: And that’s when you lost your job.

Nate: Will you please let me finish the story? He mentioned a time I did him a favor, that almost led to me losing my job. I was his personal physician for a while, and it almost cost me my medical license. Boy, was I furious, for a while. But, I understand him and his family better now.

Audra: I mean, it sounds like he trusts you. That’s worth a lot to men like him. You impressed an actual legend. That’s pretty huge. And now you’re seeing his daughter, and it sounds like you have his blessing.

Nate: But there’s this one problem.

Audra: Name it.

Nate: Nick.

[ Girls laughing ]

Mariah: Hey.

Nick: There she is.

Faith: Hello.

Nick: Look at that. We sent away a little girl, they sent back a scholar.

Faith: Oh, it’s so good to be home.

Nick: Hey, don’t stay away so long next time. I mean, noah got tired of waiting and he just took off.

Faith: Untrue.

Nick: Okay, that’s probably right.

Faith: It is so not my fault. He opened up a glam club in the uk.

Sharon: He’s back in his old stomping grounds.

Mariah: And it’s safe to travel there now because his ex lives here.

Faith: And allie’s learning the ropes at the jabot lab in paris?

Sharon: Oh, did he tell you? It is the sweetest thing. Each weekend, one of them takes the train to visit the other. Or, they both spend a few days in some other country in europe.

Faith: Poor kids. Their lives are so empty.

Nick: Yeah, their passports are probably junked up with a bunch of stamps from exotic locations.

Tessa: Yeah. Like, why couldn’t they just do something romantic instead?

Mariah: Like come babysit.

Tessa: Yeah.

Faith: As gorgeous and time consuming as aria is, it’s no excuse to put your music on hold, tessa. Next on my road to building my business portfolio? I think I should start guiding your music career.

Tessa: Can we bring the baby on tour?

Mariah: I mean, I can work remotely for jabot.

[ Doorbell ringing ]

Nick: Are you expecting anyone else?

Diane: Right now, I am thinking about the one person who can give me what I want.

Michael: Don’t look at me, I’ve done all the tricks I know.

Christine: Oh, I think I know who she’s looking for. Oh.

Michael: Ah.

Christine: Right on cue.

Chance: Morning.

Diane: Good morning.

Christine: And on that note, my work is done here.

Jack: Christine. Thank you.

Diane: Yes, thank you so much.

Christine: All right, she’s all yours.

Chance: All right.

Diane: And I cannot wait another second.

Chance: It’ll be quick. I promise.

Kyle: Chance, we owe you our thanks, and probably a few apologies.

Jack: Absolutely. I wasn’t always my best self in all of this and I know that.

Chance: Well, work usually starts with the worst day of someone’s life, so I get it. No apologies needed. All right. You are free to go. Or stay here because you live here.

Diane: I am free to come and go.

Kyle: You can live your life again. How do you feel?

Diane: I feel fantastic. Thank you. Thank all of you for everything. You’ve– you’ve given me my life back.

Daniel: I just hope that wherever mom is, she is staying safe.

Summer: You’re the one that put her in danger. Now, you’re worried about her? That’s really rich.

Daniel: I know, it’s all my fault. You did nothing wrong. She did nothing wrong.

Summer: Daniel, I told you that she was alive in confidence. And look at what you’ve done?

Daniel: God, I am so sorry that I have a conscience.

Summer: There’s a full-blown manhunt for our mom.

Daniel: I know.

Summer: All she wanted was to get her ducks in a row. Was that really too much to ask?

Daniel: Diane might disagree.

Summer: Yeah, well diane has her own family that is worried about her. Mom is supposed to be our family. I mean, you heard chance. Christine is out for blood.

Daniel: Do you wanna keep going off on me? Or do you wanna actually try and maybe work together and figure out a way that we can help mom.

[ Summer exhaling ] Okay, look, have you left anymore messages for her on that number that she called you from?

Summer: No.

Daniel: Maybe we need to change tactics. Maybe, I should call her, I leave her a message, tell her that the police are looking for her, beg her to come home.

Summer: Absolutely not. You do that and she’s gonna run and she’s never gonna look back. Not for her own sake, but for us. All she cares about right now is protecting us.

Daniel: Why does it sound like you have inside information? Like you know what’s going on inside mom’s head?

Summer: Because we think alike.

Daniel: Have you been in touch? Have you seen her again? Summer, do you know where she is? We’re done.

Audra: How is nick a problem for you?

Nate: He’s had it out for me at least since victoria gave me sally spectra’s job. And now, he sees I have the chops for this job he didn’t think I deserved. I’ve watched him over the years.

Audra: What’s your read?

Nate: Tenacious. And that’s when he doesn’t even give a damn. But this is about me and his sister. He didn’t trust ashland and he was right to do so, but now he thinks he’s victoria’s noble protector. And he’s not giving up.

Audra: What will you do?

Nate: Handle the problem.

Audra: Well, he’s a newman. Handling him is going to be a delicate operation.

Nate: And that’s where you come in.

Nick: Did that wake up the baby?

Tessa: No, I don’t think so.

Nick: I thought I heard her fussing a little.

Faith: I didn’t hear anything.

Nick: Well, that’s because you don’t have supersonic parent hearing like we do, faith. I mean, even while she’s asleep, she’s adorable.

Tessa: I just could not agree more.

Mariah: I mean, sometimes we’ll just look at her at home for hours and hours. It’s very, very hypnotizing.

Nick: What about you, faith? Are you hypnotized by your niece?

Faith: She’s great. But when will she start doing… stuff?

Mariah: Well faith, that is a very good question. You know the child development books say that around six months, she starts doing stuff.

Faith: I didn’t mean it like that.

Mariah: Is my child boring to you? She’s boring you.

Faith: No. I love her. I could just use some feedback.

Mariah: Oh, I’ll give you some feedback, college girl.

Faith: Oh, what’s in the box?

Mariah: I wish it was pizza.

Tessa: In the morning?

Mariah: What? I’m hungry.

Faith: I thought it might be cat food for borgnine. I placed an order before I came home.

Nick: What? You have a cat?

Faith: Yeah.

Nick: A live one?

Faith: Yeah.

Tessa: Cute.

Nick: Where is it?

Mariah: It’s in her room.

Tessa: When do we get to see him?

Faith: I know. I have to show you.

Jack: It feels like christmas.

Diane: We have so much celebrating to do.

Jack: Kyle said this day would come.

Kyle: Yeah, I just wish summer was here.

Jack: You know this isn’t gonna be easy for her. Great that phyllis is alive, but–

Kyle: She’s gotta wonder where she is, worry about what’s next for her legally. Not to mention all the guilt. Knowing her mother was so hell-bent on revenge, she was willing to go to–

Diane: Nothing from summer yet?

Kyle: She’s not answering my texts.

Diane: Oh, I saw her this morning. She was taking a big bag of things to the clothing drive at the women’s center.

Kyle: She didn’t mention anything about that to me. I’ll see if I can catch up with her. Let you two get reacquainted.

Diane: But before you go. Kyle I– I don’t know what I would’ve done without your love and your faith in me.

Jack: Hey, he wasn’t alone.

[ Diane laughing ]

Diane: Okay. Both of you. No, seriously, I will never forget what you did for me and um, I will spend the rest of forever showing you how much you mean to me.

Jack: Get over here.

Kyle: Aw.

Summer: I know what mom’s thinking because I know how she thinks.

Daniel: If you know where she is and you’re not telling me–

Summer: Then I’d have a very good reason, wouldn’t I?

Daniel: Oh, come on, summer. Is she okay? Will you at least tell me that? I mean, I deserve to know that. Is there something that I can do to help?

Summer: Our mom is a survivor. She can take care of herself.

Daniel: Yeah. Yeah, you’re right, summer. You and mom, you are just two of a kind. But you know, as tough as you are, sometimes you need some help. You can’t just fix this on your own.

Summer: You’ve done enough already. So thanks, but no thanks.

Daniel: If you wanna blame me, fine, blame me, but at least give me the chance to help turn things around and help with this. We need each other right now whether you want to admit it or not. Mom knows that too.

Summer: I know where she is.

Daniel: How is she?

Summer: She is not turning herself in, I know that much. Not until we can be sure that she can get her life back.

Daniel: Okay. Okay, so what’s the plan? What do we do?

Summer: There’s no we, daniel. I told you that she’s safe. That’s all that you need to know. I’m handling this on my own, without your special brand of help.

Jack: So what do you wanna do first?

Diane: Oh, I know exactly what I wanna do.

Jack: Name it.

Diane: I have been dreaming about it for weeks.

Jack: Name it, it’s yours.

Diane: I wanna go out. I wanna go over the threshold and down the street.

Jack: And that’s it?

Diane: No, of course not. And then, I wanna put on a really nice dress, one that shows off my ankles that are monitor-free.

[ Diane laughing ]

Jack: Then what?

Diane: I wanna go out on the town.

Jack: Yeah? Any place in particular?

Diane: Oh, I wanna go to every place in particular. And then, maybe we can talk about our wedding?

Jack: Oh, I like that.

Daniel: You can’t do this on your own.

Summer: Watch me.

Daniel: Is this like a loyalty test? Did mom put you up to this?

Summer: It’s my choice.

Daniel: I can help.

Summer: Not if I can’t trust you.

Daniel: Summer, this is a mistake. This is too big. It is too risky for you to do on your own. You need to let me in.

Summer: I can’t do that. Not with mom’s freedom at stake.

Daniel: So you’re just gonna cut me out? Just like that? Even though I can help.

Summer: You know what you can do to help? You can back off. I’m the one that’s helping her. And I swear to you, daniel, if you tell anyone else about this.

Daniel: Hey, kyle.

Kyle: Yeah, what’s this? It looked intense. What are you two talking about?

Chance: Detective chancellor. Yeah, yeah, I was the one who left that message. Did you get that information I was asking you about? That’s right, the name is cameron kirsten. You don’t say.

[ Cameron clearing his throat ]

Faith: If I had to sum up borgnine, I’d say he’s complex.

Nick: Well, I just can’t shake the feeling that this cat is gonna be nothing but trouble.

Faith: He is just a little kitty, how much trouble could he be?

Nick: Famous last words.

Faith: You’re gonna love him. I mean it.

Nick: Faith, your roommates stuck you with a cat for the summer. They clearly know who the sucker is.

Faith: It just means I have a big heart.

Nick: Well, now you are back where you belong. You and borgnine.

[ Girls laughing ]

Tessa: We missed you so much.

Faith: It’s so good to be home.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I hope that you’re okay with me picking you up a little bit early from daycare at the invader. Yeah, i know. You probably miss your mom, but today’s her first day on the job, and she has to stay a little bit late. You understand? You get this. I think what’s most important for you to remember, though, is that this is your home and as long as i need to remind you that our guests will be arriving soon. Yeah. Oh for uncle victor’s will. Reading? Yes. Well, i guess that means that we should probably put ace down, huh? We should. I think that you don’t need to hear anything about uncle victor being abducted and then dragged on to the haunted stars. Enough to last you a lifetime. I think so, too. Fortunately you’re not going to remember any of that, right. How oh.

[ Chuckles ] Come on. Okay. What do you think? More cayenne? Oh, my goodness. It’s perfect. Don’t touch it. Mmm! Where’d you learn to make gumbo that good? Mmm! Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. See, that’s one of the benefits of being a musician in new orleans. Now, the locals say, you go on and give them the blues, they gonna give you cooking lessons. Okay.

[ Both laugh ] Mmm. Hey. Hey. Hmm? Man. That was a happy day, wasn’t it?

[ Chuckles ] It was until it wasn’T. Aww. I’m still waiting for my happy ending. Hey.

[ Door opens, keys jingle ]

[ Door closes ] Carly, it’s me. I, um… I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you and I wish I could be with you right now. But I know the best thing for me to do is to stick to our plan to find some way to pressure ned to get the government to drop the charges against us. I know that. I’m on it.

[ Sighs ] I’ll check in with you soon, okay? And please let me know if there’s any updates on willow. Okay. Bye.

[ Sam chuckles ] Dad!

[ Chuckling ] Hi! Oh, man. Hi. Sam: You know your daughter. Once I told her there was a sleepover at daddy’s, there was no stopping her. Mm. Are you sure it’s a good night? Of course it is. Right, dad? Every night that I’m with you is a good night, and I will never take one for granted. Never. Yeah. Diane. I was just thinking about you. Really? So, you think that the feds have been monitoring you and those close to you and saw carly mess up and pointed the sec in her direction in order to try and pressure her to flip on you? Find out how and why the feds got involved. Sonny — anything you can come up with, just let me — I have pretty much exhausted all of my sources. What about the D.A.? I was just thinking about you, as well. That’s not fair. The feds can’t use carly against her own husband. Ex-husband. Th-that’s even worse. She’s not protected by spousal privilege now. I am sure that the feds think that carly’s got all sorts of incriminating information about sonny. And — and they would be right, by the way.

[ Sighs ] There’s got to be a way to keep sonny from taking the fall. Oh, olivia. I hope you’re right. Michael, how’s willow doing? Uh, she just started the procedure. The bone marrow transplant’s going to work. And willow’s gonna be with us for a very long time. We were outside her room a few minutes ago, and she was being really brave. You know, willow’s gonna need a lot of support. And I think we should put everything aside and — and stick together for willow’s sake. Can we all agree on that? If only we were still this happy. I need a consultation, dr. Robinson. Oh, come on. Okay what do you think? Okay. Oh my goodness. It’s perfect. Don’t touch it. Mhm. Where did you learn to make gumbo that good? Hm mhm. Mm hm. See, that’s one of the benefits of being a musician in new orleans is now the locals say you only give them the blues. They going to give you cooking


Of course we can put everything aside. ‘Cause what matters right now is willow. Speaking of which, I don’t think I can just stand here. I’m gonna go see how the procedure is progressing.

[ Sighs ] So, any word on willow is gonna happen soon, you think?

[ Cellphone chimes ] I don’t know. Probably not. Uh, mom, trina just texted me. She’s downstairs. Okay. Go, go. I’ll text you if anything happens. Okay. Okay. They could not get away from me soon enough. Diane: It’s very ironic that you and i run into each other. If the, uh, rumors are true and it’s sonny that the government really wants, then carly is just the means to that end. Now I feel terrible for arguing with carly about this. I mean, if we hadn’t, we maybe could have put our heads together and figured a way out of this whole insider trading mess. Yeah. I-it must be painful knowing that your friend and ex-business partner thinks you’re fooling yourself about your husband. Yeah, well, maybe I overshared with you a little bit about that. Carly understands that my loyalty is to ned. She just — she can’t figure it out. She’s — she’s convinced that he’s the one that blew the whistle on her and drew. Well, carly’s always convinced of carly’s point of view, as if there’s never a possibility for another. I’m sorry. I don’T… I know that you guys are friends, and I respect that. I do. I do. And I agree with you, despite their divorce. And despite that rock on your finger. Yeah. Carly is a proud woman. She cares about her kids. She — she does. She cares about sonny. She’s never gonna send him to prison. But on the other hand, I do believe that someone’s gonna go down for this. And if it’s not sonny — it won’t be sonny. So, that means it’s either carly or drew, and you’re really, really good friends with both of them. Do you think that there’s a chance that one of them will turn against the other to save themselves? Alright. What do you got there? It’s my workbook from school. Ooh. Oh, I think that’s her subtle way of saying, “I hope daddy helps me with my homework.”

[ Chuckles ] Can you believe there’s only a few weeks left before summer vacation? By the way, I heard the metro court pool is opening soon, so we can get in there and we can start working on your swimming strokes, okay? “Working on –” no, no, no. She already swims like a seal. And I think she gets it from you. Hmm. I’m a mermaid, not a seal. I’m so sorry. That’s right. Yeah. Don’t — don’t forget.

[ Chuckles ] Yes. And on that note, mermaids love music, right? This was… this was your brother oscar’S. Wow. Oscar sure did love music, didn’t he? Yeah. And, scout… I think that oscar would have loved for you to have that. What do you think about that, scout? I love you, daddy. Aww. I love you, too. I’m gonna take this upstairs. Oh, could you put it in the guest room, please? You’re right on time, curtis. To celebrate your homecoming, I-I whipped up my world-famous gumbo ya-ya.

[ Chuckles ] I love it, dad. When do we eat? Oh, not we — you. I’m just the cook. This a meal for two. Welcome home. Hey. Any news? Any news? They just started the transplant. It’s a lot like a blood transfusion, so willow is gonna get dr. Obrecht’s bone marrow, and that takes as long as it takes. We just have to wait and pray that the new marrow starts producing healthy cells. I’m sorry. My little problem hardly seems to matter when willow’s life is at stake. Oh, stop it. Of course it matters. I mean, your life could change with these dna results. I’m not gonna let it. Marcus is always gonna be my dad, and curtis is always gonna be curtis, a man that I’ve grown to love and respect. And what about your mom? My mom is always gonna be my mom, even if I never trust her the same way again. I thought you guys patched things up.

[ Sighs ] Have you ever tried to fix a flat tire with a patch? It’s not a permanent fix. Yeah. And, uh, when’s the last time you changed a tire? Okay. Never. Mm-hmm. I’ve never had to change a tire. But I could if I had to. I’m sure you could. After everything you did in greenland with spencer, you guys can do anything. You can, too. Which is why we make the best roommates. I know, I know, but we only have two more days in the dorm, remember? I know. But now I need a place to stay for the summer. Any suggestions? You don’t want to move back home? How’s trina? Grandmother, were you eavesdropping on me? I didn’t have to. I could tell by the smile on your face who it was. That could have been, uh, molly or alexis. You know, I smile when other people call me, too. Not the same smile.

[ Knock on door ] Excuse me. Ava, alexis, please come in. Hi. Thanks. Hi, laura. Thank you. I’ve been dreading this ordeal since I got my invitation. Hello, nephew. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Expecting to inherit something, ava? No, no, no. I don’t care about any bequests. It’s just that, after the hell that that man put me through, I can’t hear often enough that victor cassadine is truly and most sincerely dead.

[ Clears throat ] Oh, dear. I’m so sorry I didn’t see you there. Please come in. I don’t think that we’ve met. I’m laura collins. That’s mayor laura collins. And you are? Jb brown, esquire. Brown, brown, & whitlow. Victor cassadine’s attorney and executor of his estate. You may have seen my letterhead on the invitation we sent regarding this will reading. So, you can go ahead and go, and I’ll — I’ll just stay here until I get word about willow. I can stay.

[ Sighs ] Have you heard from the sec? Not so far. Haven’t heard from the justice department, either. I think you’re gonna hear from them real soon.


Thanks, spencer. Uh, mr. Brown, thank you so much for being willing to do the reading here at my apartment. It saved all of us a trip to your office. Happy to accommodate. The late mr. Cassadine didn’t stipulate where he wanted his will read, only the parties he wanted in attendance. Mm.

[ Knock on door ] Excuse me. Mm. I know, I know. Hey, martin! Forgive me, baby sister. I’m sorry I’m late. It’s fine. Had a minor crisis at the… well, look at this.

[ Chuckles ] Jb. I should have known you’d be here. Huh. You two know each other? Know him? This man is a legend in his own time. Graduate of princeton, oxford,

and yale law school. That’s victor’s lawyer, alright. Only the very best for the absolute worst. Martin. Hello. What are you doing here? Well, seeing as how my client, valentin cassadine, couldn’t make it, he’s asked me to stand proxy in his stead. Are you anna’s proxy, too? No. No. Anna’s on her way. She may be running late. I’m afraid my schedule’s rather tight. I don’t have time to wait for ms. Devane’s late arrival. Uh, well, I can certainly fill anna in. Everyone, why don’t we make ourselves comfortable so that we can get started? Well? Shall we begin?

[ Locks disengage ]

[ Sighs ] I’m just so comfortable living in the dorms. I don’t know why we can’t live there in the summer. Really? Come on. Would it be that bad to move back in with your mom? I don’t know. Things are a little better with my mom, and I don’t know if I’m ready to be part of a family, especially with the dna results hanging over our heads. Well, if you don’t want to go home, I have another option. How’s trina? Good. S-she’s good. I mean, the spring semester is ending soon, and so far, she hasn’t made any plans to come home, but, um… well, maybe when the dna results come in. Yeah. I don’t know about that.

[ Sighs ] Depending on the results, it might be harder for trina to think of this as her home. Well, um… I came home, didn’t I? I guess you heard the news. Of course. Um, I’m sorry you got it secondhand. I wanted to be the one to give it to you in person. I don’t understand. Why was it up to you to tell me? Well, my complicated life just became a little less complicated. Um… w-what are you talking about? Holly’s left town. Uh…what are you talking about? Um… no, I-I don’t believe that carly and drew would ever turn on each other. I mean, d-drew just risked everything to go bring your aunt liesl back to save willow’s life, and the whole time he was gone, carly could not stand the suspense of knowing if he was safe or not. No, no. Those two are completely in love. Yeah, but if the rumors are true — and maybe the rumors are just that — they’re rumors. Well, there’s only one way to find out. Diane: I’m gonna tell you what I’m gonna do this time.

[ Sighs ] We can’t be sure that the feds are gonna take my case from the sec and offer me a deal if I give evidence against you. Not that I would take it if they did. Well, I appreciate that, but like I told you before, I’m not gonna let donna grow up with a mother behind bars. I think we’re worrying about nothing. Like I said, no one from the justice department has approached me. Yet. They haven’t approached you yet. Alright, look, I, uh — I had diane work robert scorpio. He has contacts in D.C., And it’s pretty well known he hates my guts. So, if the feds are gonna make an offer, he’s gonna know about it. That puts diane in an awkward position. You know what? For what I pay diane, she can be in an awkward position, especially when it comes to you. You’re way too important. Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you for what?


Willow? The transplant’s still in progress, but so far, so good. Okay. But again, what were you thanking sonny for? Um… come on. You have so much on your plate right now. You don’t have to worry about your parents. So, in other words, there is something to worry about? Look, there’s something that I want to talk to you about. And I-I wanted you to hear it in person so you don’t hear it from anybody else. Hear what? Nina and I just got engaged to be married. You and robert are friends, right? Yeah, but I would never — impose on that friendship. Yeah, I totally get it. Totally. But robert is the D.A., And if anyone knows what the U.S. Attorney is doing, it’s — it’s robert. But why would he tell me? Because, olivia, your — your husband’s reputation, not to mention your marriage, are suffering because of these rumors of backdoor deals swirling around. You know, no one knows what’s really true. I think you would be doing everyone a service if you would… go over there, find out what’s going on. Clear the air. Never mind what I was talking about. Why on earth would holly leave town? Her son’s in trouble, so she’s gone to the rescue. Oh. Well, good for her. I’m assuming when all that’s over, she will come back to port charles. Yeah, but I don’t think I’m a factor in that decision. I’m sorry, robert. Don’t be. Ah, good. You two are, uh, talking shop. So you won’t mind telling me if it’s true. If what’s true, liv? Um, I can take a little powder room break if you guys want to talk in private — not necessary. Diane, I believe you are already involved in this. Involved in what? The deal that would make carly give up sonny.

[ Harmonica playing ]

[ Chuckles ] Aww. That is so good. Good. Right? You know, honey, it’s such a nice day out. Why don’t you go practice for the birds? Do you think they’ll sing along with me? I think there’s only one way to find out. Aww.

[ Birds chirping ] You know, I think she’s probably gonna sleep with that harmonica under her pillow. Mm. Well, it’s her harmonica now, so that’s — that’s up to her. It’s funny, isn’t it, how precious the little things can be? You’re not gonna lose her. I don’t know. I mean, if those insider trading charges stick, then… then what? I mean, isn’t there any way to fix this? Well, that depends on the whistleblower. I mean, ned’s got the clout. Ned’s got the contacts to make this whole thing go away. But he’s not gonna do that. The less you know, the better. Are you — are you kidding me? If you want to dig up leverage on ned, that’s what I do. It’s in my wheelhouse. All you have to do is ask. You did come back home.

[ Chuckles ] And I’m beyond grateful. I just hope that you’re back for good. The ashford/robinson party, right this way, please.

[ Both chuckle ]

[ Doorbell rings ] Oh, my goodness. You don’t think that… maybe trina thinks of this as her home after all. I know! I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before. You can move in with me. There’s plenty of room. Shouldn’t we ask your mom first? Why? She’ll love the idea. Are you sure, joss? What about spencer? What about him? I was thinking maybe the worst is over and I have nothing to worry about with this will reading, and then I remembered what a monster victor was. Well, go ahead and worry. I’m going to enjoy this. Mm. Everyone, it’s time to let my client speak for himself.

[ Computer beeps ]

Hello, everyone. And welcome to the reading of my will.


If you’re watching this video, congratulations. You survived. And sadly, my attempt to make the world a better place has failed. His warped view of the world. The shame is that you’re going to have to carry on for the rest of your lives in an overpopulated, under-resourced planet. But hopefully my bequests will help provide a little comfort to you as civilization continues to crumble all around you. Ava, my dear, until my nephew nikolas returns — if ever — to rekindle your romance, I bequeath to you a rendering of your first true love.

[ Computer beeps ]

[ Light laughter ]

Ava: Oh! Eh. Maybe I can donate it and get a tax write-off. [ Laughs ]

[ Computer beeps ]

Alexis, my dear niece, I’ll never forget the kindness that you extended to me, inviting me into your home for that thanksgiving. This matryoshka doll dates back to the romanovs. Inside are ever-smaller versions of itself, each one representing your daughters. This is actually nice. And to one daughter in particular, samantha, I bequeath this deck of very rare tarot cards. Who knows? Maybe one day she’ll use them to make herself lucky in love [Chuckles] For once. And there it is. Victor the monster. I know you and spencer aren’t as close as you used to be. Hey, he is always welcome to come by and see you. He can even bring ace, just as long as esme is not a part of the equation. And what about dex? What about him? Oh, come on, joss. Dex and spencer hate each other, and you know it. Surprise!

[ Chuckles ] I take it tj didn’t let anyone know I was back in town. Tj does work extremely long hours at G.H., So — I-I know. I… and I know he has a lot on his mind now, so… I took it upon myself to — oh. Is this a bad time? Really, I’m — okay. I’ll just text, and I’ll contact you guys later. Stella, stella, you’re not going anywhere. Is she, curtis? Aunt stella’s always welcome. Am I really? I wouldn’t blame either of you if — curtis is absolutely right, stella. You are always welcome here. Then why are we standing around like strangers? Stella, girl, you look great! Come on here and give me a hug. Come on, now.

[ Laughs ] I’m glad to see you two are together, in spite of me. Olivia, where did you hear that there is a deal on the table regarding carly? I heard that carly can get out of these insider trading charges if she gives up sonny. Is there any truth to that, district attorney? Now, look, you two are not playing by the rules here. I care because, “a,” sonny is dante’s father, “b,” carly is my best friend, and, “c,” my husband is suspected of being the one that blew the whistle on drew and carly. And, “d,” diane is sonny’s attorney, so I assume that she is very interested in this, too. So, why don’t you stop stalling and just answer the question? Okay. Let me make it easy for you. If you stay silent, that’s all the confirmation we will need. What I can say is, um…

[ Sighs ]

[ Clears throat ] You got your answer? Michael: It’s no surprise that you and nina would eventually take the next step. But our agreement still applies. It’s always gonna be willow’s decision whether she wants nina in her life or your children’s life. The — my engagement doesn’t change that. Glad to hear it. Alright, well, I got to go. I got to make a call. Um… look after your mother. Always do. You knew? I-I did. I happened to be at the metro court last night when nina couldn’t wait to, uh, announce that they were toasting their engagement. And then sonny stopped by the house today so he could tell donna. And that’s why you were thanking him for being so up-front about it? Or, um, is it something else?


victor: And now to other family members. To my darling granddaughter charlotte, I bequeath this necklace and pendant engraved with the cassadine crest in the hopes that it will remind you of who you are and who you will one day become. As for your father, the rotten apple of my eye, valentin cassadine, to you, my son, and to all of those who have betrayed me, I make this bequest. In this satchel, you will find a rare piece of antiquity. It was unearthed on cassadine island in greece. It’s the last surviving piece of a once-majestic statue of the sun god, apollo.

[ Laughter ]

Whenever you look at it, I do hope you remember me.

[ Light laughter ] Hey, sonny. Uh, hi. How is she? The transplant is still in progress. Everything seems to be going well.

How are you holding up? Well, um, I’m not gonna lie and say that I’m not worried ’cause obviously I am. I’m just trying to stay positive and believe everything is gonna get better. Hey, sailor. Buy a girl a drink? Hey, the drinks are on you.

[ Chuckling ] Okay. Well, I deserve that. Just so you know, though, I was only doing my job. Corinthos still paying your retainer? He is entitled to legal representation, as well. Or — or have they totally dropped the sixth amendment? Come on. Why do you always got to be so right? Because I am always right. Actually, I’m not. Take that back. For instance, I thought you and holly were meant for each other. So did I. Come on, trina. When we move out of the dorms, move in with me, at least just short term.

[ Sighs ] And what about the fact that our boyfriends can’t stand each other? Let’s not worry about them. So, dex didn’t tell you? Tell me what? At the gym the other day, spencer took a swing at dex. What?! I saw dex that day. He was fine. You saw him, too. Because dex blocked the punch and landed one of his own. Spencer’s lip is cut. Oh.

[ Chuckles ] You don’t seem overcome with concern. Okay. To be fair, spencer punched dex first, remember? In kelly’s right before christmas? And dex didn’t even fight back. Spencer probably thought that he wouldn’t or couldn’t, but dex knows how to defend himself, and it’s about time spencer realized that. I would love to think that spencer learned his lesson, but most likely, he’ll keep antagonizing dex. He just can’t seem to help himself. Okay, well, trust me, dex has a lot more to worry about than getting along with spencer. What does that mean? I — you know, he’s really busy. And working for sonny isn’t exactly a low-pressure job. Uh, I have to get back to my family. Okay. I love you. And I-I hope you get those test results soon. And I hope that willow comes through with flying colors. Thank you. Me too. See ya.

[ Cellphone chimes ] It was a beautiful wedding, wasn’t it? It was. Yeah. It absolutely was. And, um, laura — she did a phenomenal job filling in for you, stella. I’m sure she did. I…only wish… you’re not the only one who wished things had been done differently. Yeah. Hey, what kind of homecoming is this, huh? What kind of — you know what I’m gonna do? Forget the table for two. I’m setting two more plates. There’s plenty of gumbo to go around.

[ Chuckles ] Well, aunt stella, might as well settle in. When he sets his mind, you got two choices — either give up or give in. I did not come all this way just to give up. And neither should the two of you. Like I said to tj, love is always worth fighting for. I don’t want to add to your worries today of all days. Let’s just wait and make sure that the bone marrow transplant worked successfully — h-hold on a second. Y-you’re actually worrying me more trying to dodge. Just tell me — why are you so grateful to sonny? Okay, hold on. You came in at the tail end of that conversation. So fill me in on the rest. There’s a rumor that the justice department is gonna offer me a deal. They will forget about the insider trading charges if I give them evidence against your father.


Oh, darn. I have to go. Crisis. Too bad. Here. Enjoy. Good luck, everyone. See ya. I think I’ve done my part for my client… bye-bye, alexis. …So, uh, I’ve had enough. Unless, of course, my sister needs me to stay. Oh, no, not at all. I am just fine. I’ll walk you out. Well, all that’s left is you, kid. Mr. Brown: Mayor collins?

[ Door closes ] Yes, yes. Please.

[ Computer beeps ] Victor: As for you, spencer, oh, we’ve had many discussions about safeguarding your family. I may not be there in person to explain this to you, but I trust you’ll know what to do with my bequest. Dinner is ready.

[ Cellphone rings ] Mm-hmm. Y’all better come on. Hello, trina. Curtis. I hope I’m not interrupting if you’re at the club. No, no, no. I’m at home here with your mom. Is everything okay? Okay. Bye. Curtis? What is it?

[ Chuckles ] It’s trina. She’s at the hospital. What? W-what do you mean? Is — is she okay? What happened? She’s fine. She’s fine. The dna results are in. What ultimately happened with holly? Life happened. What was it you said to her? You said, um… if we couldn’t make it work for all those years, why do we think we can make it work now? I’m sorry, robert. I really am. Next time you want to pump me for information, have your office call my office and let’s put it on the books. Drew: I just wanted to thank you for offering to dig up dirt on ned. That means a lot, but… I’m gonna really need you to stay out of this one. Because… what? …If I do go to prison, if I do, scout is gonna need one of us to stick around.

[ Chuckling ] Hey! Look who was giving a concert out in the garden. There she is. Hi. Baby, I’m gonna leave. I love you, sweet dreams, and have so much fun. I’ll see you in the morning, okay? See you in the morning. Okay. Bye. Bye. Thank you. Bye. See ya. You know what? I think that there is a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie in the kitchen with your name on it! Oh, man! What do you think? There she goes. Look at that. Hey, I thought you had a meeting. I did. Lucky for you. Because that little girl is gonna need her daddy. Sam and I were just talking about that. Yeah, well, if you want to stick around for scout, I got some information you need. Did you tell michael about our engagement? Yeah. Um… he wasn’t thrilled, but he wasn’t hostile. And now that it looks like there’s a future for both of us, maybe we can have hope that willow will recover and find room in her heart for you. At this point, it’s only a rumor. Sonny has diane looking into it to see if there’s any truth to it. Well, if there is… will you take it? You know better. Mom, I — [ Sighs ] I’ve watched you protect sonny my whole life. Now maybe — maybe you should think about protecting yourself instead. Michael — if — if this government deal is legit and all you have to do is give them sonny and you’ll go free, then… what — what are you waiting for? Mom, take the deal.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Hope: I can’t believe that you would tell liam that I have feelings for thomas. I mean, your perception of my working relationship with your brother is–

Steffy: That’s the thing. Thomas has his head on straight. He isn’t the problem.

Hope: OH. And I am?

Steffy: Well, it isn’t thomas, so that’s why I felt it was a need to protect him. All the progress he’s made.

Hope: Thomas doesn’t need protection, especially not from me. Can you just do me a favor and stay out of my business?

Ridge: So this is for me?

Taylor: Yes, it is. Burrata and pesto. Your favorite.

Ridge: That is my favorite. Why don’t you stay, eat it with me?

Taylor: Uh, well, I already ate.

Ridge: Oh, okay. So, I gotta do everything on my own. Fantastic.

Taylor: Yes. You have to do everything on your own. I just came from ii giardino with brooke.

Ridge: I see. So, you can eat with her, but you can’t eat with me.

Taylor: Well, I mean, I could, as long as it’s not a date.

Ridge: A date?

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: What is a date? Really, I’ve forgotten. I’ve been in exile for so long.

Taylor: Okay. Well, a date is finishing dinner, and then getting lost in eye contact, minds racing, hearts pounding and then you… pay for dinner. That’s a date.

Ridge: Okay.

Steffy: I was never trying to sabotage your relationship.

Hope: Oh, well, it sure feels that way.

Steffy: Someone had to stick up for my brother.

Hope: Oh, okay. By throwing me under the bus in the process.

Steffy: That was never my intention, hope.

Hope: Of course, it was, steffy. That’s exactly what you were doing by going to liam. You knew that he would be upset, but you’re wrong, okay. You’re dead wrong. I am fully committed to my husband.

Steffy: Okay. Fine. Then, there shouldn’t be a problem then, right? Okay.

Ridge: So that almost kiss was the closest I’ve got to getting any action since you guys put me in the timeout.

Taylor: Oh, stop. Stop. There are– there are tons of women out there for you.

Ridge: Why are you trying to hand me off to another woman?

Taylor: I don’t think I would ever do that.

Ridge: Because it sounds like you’re done with me.

Taylor: I am. That doesn’t mean that I– I don’t think about you and all the wonderful times we shared.

Brooke: Hi, honey. I got your text.

Hope: Yeah.

Brooke: What happened? You seem upset.

Hope: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Upset doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface, so.

Brooke: What’s going on?

Hope: It was just steffy. It’s steffy. She’s up to her old tricks again.

Brooke: What did she do?

Hope: Oh, you know, just interfering in my marriage.

Your heart

is the beat of life.

Ridge: You know, I’ve got a real spring in my steps and I think it’s because of you. Thank you.

Taylor: Really? Because of the pizza I brought you?

Ridge: Yeah. Yeah. Pizza. And, uh, what you said earlier.

Taylor: What did I say earlier?

Ridge: That you think about me sometimes.

Taylor: I think about you all the time. I mean, you know, I– I see you and our kids every day. I’m so proud of steffy and thomas. I’m– I’m proud of us too. You know, as– as their parents.

Ridge: Yeah, me too. I’m– I’m proud of us.

Taylor: We’re doing good. Like, we’re all doing so good. I just wish–

Ridge: You wish what?

Taylor: No, I– I don’t think I wanna–

Ridge: No, you started, so you’ll finish. What is it?

Taylor: No, no. It– just all this talk about me and brooke and our– and our friendship.

Ridge: Did something happen or?

Taylor: We had a disagreement and, uh, it just kinda opened my eyes a little. I’m not sure if brooke has been honest and transparent with me when it comes to you. You know, we have this pact. Has she broken that? Has she done anything to go against it? ‘Cause, you know, you– you’ve had dinners, you’ve– you’ve hung out. Is there anything that I should know about?

Ridge: Doc, I–

Taylor: Okay. You don’t need to say anything. I– I get it. I was right.

Ridge: No, no.

Taylor: It’s okay. No, it’s– I just wish–

Charlie: Hiya, boss.

Ridge: Oh.

Charlie: I, uh… oh, dr. Hayes. I’m sorry. I– I didn’t know you two were having this session.

Taylor: We’re not having a session.

Ridge: What do you need, charlie?

Charlie: Well, I heard we were going to rome, and so I got my italian phrase book and– and I got my passport renewed. And– and– and I, uh, look, I– I– I know it’s mostly for the– the hope for the future crew, but… you know, you’ve seen

the godfather. I mean, you might need me.

Ridge: I think we’ll be okay. I– I appreciate you offering, but we could really use you here. Inventory.

Charlie: Right. Okay. I’m– yeah, I’m on it.

Ridge: Okay.

Charlie: Oh, oh, oh. Uh, dr. Hayes, listen, I’ve been having these dreams.

Taylor: What are they about, charlie?

Ridge: Oh, no. Absolutely not. It’s all we have time for today. Thank you. I’ll see you soon.

Charlie: Good.

[ Speaking italian poorly ]

Steffy: Your frog wears lipstick?

Charlie: What? Is that what I said? But wait, I gotta– I gotta fix it. I just–

Steffy: Okay.

Taylor: Hi, baby.

Ridge: Why would you–

Taylor: I was just– I– how is our– how is our favorite co-ceo?

Steffy: I am not great.

Ridge: Come on.

Steffy: I– I don’t– I really don’t wanna get into it. I really don’T.

Taylor: You always feel better when you talk to us.

Steffy: Hope’s upset.

Ridge: She’s upset. Why?

Steffy: You know how thomas always gets accused of being infatuated with hope? What if I told you it was the other way round? I think hope has feelings for thomas.

Brooke: I really can’t believe this. I mean, what would drive steffy to go to liam?

Hope: Mm. I don’t know. She has some nerve, though, insinuating herself into my marriage like this. I mean– actually no, no. Wait. This isn’t the first time, right? So, I shouldn’t be surprised. It’s just what she does.

Brooke: Just to be clear, steffy is mistaken.

Hope: Oh, yes. Obviously. Yes.

Brooke: Okay. Okay. I’m just trying to get things straight here. I mean, this really is very surprising.

Hope: Well, yeah. I mean, it would be– it would be one thing if she just came to me, right? And asked me these questions and brought up these concerns, but it’s another thing to go behind my back and gossip to my husband and plant seeds of doubt.

Brooke: I’m sure liam was upset.

Hope: I mean, he was blindsided. I mean, how could he not be hearing that his wife has feelings for another man, let alone thomas, after all the things that he’s done? I mean, it’s– it is ridiculous, but, um, you know, liam, I think he– he realizes that now, and– and he– he understands, but it took some persuading.

Brooke: So what do you think could have prompted steffy?

Hope: Oh, to attack me like this? Yeah. I, uh, asked her point blank, and she said that it was one particular incident in this office. Yeah. Except that’s not at all how it happened. Thomas and I were excited. The numbers were good. We got caught up in a celebratory moment, taking pride in our work. But, you know steffy. Suddenly, it becomes intimate. And thomas and I are caressing each other’s hands, and I’m gazing into his eyes and it’s just…

[ Laughing ] Just– just gimme a break.

Brooke: Uh, okay. Look, please don’t take this the wrong way, but I really have to ask again. Is there any validity to this?

Hope: Mom!

Brooke: I need you to be honest with yourself and with me. Is steffy right? Have you developed feelings for thomas? Martial arts is my passion.

Taylor: I’m glad you stood up for your brother.

Steffy: Yeah, I had to. Liam kept going on and on about not being able to trust thomas when hope is the one that should be called into question.

Taylor: Yeah. Well, I mean, I understand where you’re coming from. I’m– I’m sick and tired of hearing the same messages about thomas too. That– that he’s reckless and unhinged.

Steffy: Liam has some serious reservations about hope and thomas working together and we all kind of dismissed him because we thought thomas changed.

Ridge: He has changed.

Steffy: No, you’re right. Absolutely. But maybe liam was right about some vibe between them.

Taylor: Yeah. But he didn’t realize that the vibe was actually coming from hope.

Steffy: But hope likes to say, this is all in my head.

Taylor: Of course. Yeah.

Ridge: Well, whatever it is, it’s getting a little messy.

Steffy: Look, I know hope loves liam and she doesn’t wanna lose him. I’m sure she wasn’t trying to find someone else to be attracted to, let alone liam’s worst nightmare. I was just looking out for him. I’m not trying to make trouble in their marriage.

Taylor: Of course, you’re not. You– you did the right thing. You know, you weren’t trying to be hurtful. We all know that. Whatever happens now is up to hope.

Hope: We’ve already gone over this.

Brooke: You never gave me a clear answer.

Hope: There’s nothing to worry about, okay?

Brooke: Okay, so you can say unequivocally, that you don’t have feelings for thomas.

Hope: I don’T. I– I don’t want anything from thomas more than– than to be co-parents, to be coworkers and– and to be friends. So wrong to admit that I– that I am human?

Brooke: What does that mean?

Hope: It’s– I– I have eyes. Okay, mom. So yes, I can appreciate that thomas happens to be good looking and he’s funny. And yes, we just happen to spend 10 to 14 hours working together in a day. That’s all.

Brooke: And what does that mean? Hope, come on. You’ve gotta be honest here.

Hope: I am. That’s what I’m doing here. I am being honest, okay? I– I– I might have felt a little something.

Brooke: For thomas?

Hope: Yeah. Yeah. But it’s fine, mom. It’s fine. I can handle it, okay? It’s nothing

Brooke: Oh, my god. No. No. It’s not nothing. You have to be upfront.

Hope: I am, okay? And– and– and– that’s normal, right? Isn’t that normal for people to just sometimes have thoughts and desires? And– and this is okay as long as you don’t act on them, right?

Brooke: If you’re having thoughts and desires, that could lead to something else and that would be dangerous.

Hope: But this not– that’s not for me, okay? ‘Cause I– I wouldn’t do that. I wouldn’t cross the line. I am in control of myself, okay? So, you don’t have to worry about that when it comes to me. What I just had wished was that steffy would’ve kept her big mouth shut because liam has had issues with thomas and me collaborating already and now, I have her gossiping. And it’s just… my relationship means everything to me and I’m not going to let anything or anyone, including myself, destroy that. I love liam. I love him. He’s my husband. He’s my daughter’s father. Liam is the love of my life. When you have chronic kidney disease.

Ridge: Too bad your mom had to go back to the office.

Steffy: I hope I didn’t bring the mood down when I walked in.

Ridge: What? You? Stop it. You are a ray of sunshine. Everyone’s been so happy around here. I just hope that this is not a disruption.

Steffy: Yeah, let’s hope not.

Ridge: Couldn’t come at a worst time.

Steffy: Tell me about it.

Ridge: We got previews. We got all kinds of stuff–

Steffy: Traveling to rome.

Ridge: Of course.

Steffy: Most romantic place in the world. Hope and thomas working even longer hours.

Ridge: And you think everything between them is strictly professional?

Steffy: I– I’m certain that’s the case for thomas.

Ridge: What about her?

Steffy: I wanna believe hope. That she’s not interested in thomas. I’m just not convinced.

Steffy: I’m just trying

to make sense of all of this.

Steffy: So, are you lying?

Are you attracted to thomas?

Liam: Hey, this is liam.

I can’t come to the phone

right now. I’ll call you back

as soon as I can.

Hope: Liam, hey, it’s, um, it’s me. Um, I know that things have been a bit challenging lately, but I just, uh, wanted you to know how much I love you, how much I love our life together. Um, okay. Yeah. I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you. Okay. I will see you at the house later tonight. Bye.

Brooke: Oh, it’s okay. I’m sure dr. Hayes won’t mind.

Taylor: Hello, brooke. Gosh, I didn’t see you on my schedule.

Brooke: Have you spoken to your daughter today?

Taylor: Yes. Yes, I have.

Brooke: Well, it was kinda strange the things that she said to liam, to hope’s husband.

Taylor: Okay. Well, she was just defending her brother. He’s worked very hard to get to where he is right now.

Brooke: Okay. So, that’s all that it was. There’s no other motivation.

Taylor: What other motivation could there be?

Brooke: I don’t know. Steffy knows that it’s a very volatile situation. Thomas and hope working together. She knows that liam doesn’t like it, that he’s very uncomfortable with it.

Taylor: I– I think that steffy was just being a protective little sister. That’s all.

Brooke: Really? Okay. She was pointing fingers and she was getting liam to not trust his wife. It seemed like she was actually trying to tear apart their marriage.

Taylor: Okay. That’s enough. Steffy wouldn’t do that. I don’t know– that– that is just unfair what you’re saying.

Brooke: Doesn’t matter anyway because hope would never cheat on liam.

Taylor: Oh, okay. Oh, no one was saying that she would.

Brooke: We’re friends, right, taylor?

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: Are we? Because I know we worked really hard on this friendship. We worked really hard to get where we are and right now, I am asking you to step up as a friend and help me. Go to your daughter, insist that she take back every word that she said to liam because that wasn’t fair. My daughter has a family. A family that she loves very much and I sure as hell, I’m not gonna let your daughter step in between hope and liam.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What do you want? I’m busy and in a swell mood. I see. Yes. Well, I’m working, so if this doesn’t have to do with work, then it does have to do with work, as does your foul mood. I bet. You’re upset because Carl Gottle handed in his resignation. Your Elon Musk managerial style blew up in your face, and now you’re scrambling to fix the mess you made.

Aren’t you? The mess I made, I didn’t bloody sack him. The whiny little tosser quit because you treated him like an incompetent temp. I merely suggested that he and his team work a little bit harder to secure more digital ad buys this quarter. Mm. You cursed him out in front of his entire team. So he walked and now we don’t have an ad sales director.

Look, he was looking for an excuse to quit. He saw my father as walking on water and he saw me as the bitch who shoved him off of his own paper. You are the bitch. You shop jack off his own paper. I did that for you.

Now, as I said, I’m very busy, so if you don’t mind, just get the hell out of here so I can pull a new sales manager out of a out of a hat. You don’t have to. I already found one. What? Who? Chloe Lane. Dead.

Hey. Hey, yourself. I’m sorry for not calling. Before showing up. Well, if you’re here to tell me that, Kristen’s out of prison. I already had the pleasure of running into her. It was a really nice surprise. Uh, did she threaten you or anything? No, it was fine. Okay. Okay, good. I’m sure she’ll be leaving you alone now that we’re no longer together.

Yeah. As always, Kristen got what she wanted. Well, I don’t wanna talk about Kristen. Listen, I uh, I have a proposition for you.

Thank you. Mm-hmm. You know, looking on the bright side like I always do, there’s a real upside to unemployment. Mm. And that would be, I don’t have to worry about keeping a clear head in the morning, cuz even hungover, I can still work the remote. Mm. Well, I still think you need to give Maggie some time to cool down and to see that Titan needs you.

Yeah. Well, I’m not gonna hold my breath screwing up that deal from Maggie. That was the last straw. Sad fact is my career at Titan is over.

Hi. Welcome home. It’s scared to be home. Victor’s, uh, he’s resting. He didn’t sleep at all on the plane. Yeah. I was surprised when I heard you were coming home. I thought you’d wanna stay on in Greece with Bo The doctors are moving him to a long-term care facility, so he’s still in a coma. Mm-hmm. We’re not giving up hope, though.

Of course not. You know, there’s just really nothing we could do there. And the thing is, for Victor not being able to do something was hell. I know that. So I finally convinced him to come home. Sing Bo like that. Hmm. It was hard on him. I understand. Family is everything. So what are you doing here?

Henderson told me that you and Bonnie were going to Chicago to see Mimi and, and Emily. Yes. Uh, Bonnie went. But um, when I heard you were coming home, I decided to stay here. You didn’t need to do that. Yes, I did because I needed to ask you why the hell you fired my son from the family business.

Surprise. Hello buddy. How I would’ve called, but I didn’t want You have to come up with an excuse, huh? So you, yeah. Well, I’m up to see Mimi and Emily and Mimi. Tell me tonight was your night with Emily and what were you doing just now You look like you’re about to audition to replace Captain America. I’m just working out.

Huh, soon as to be working for you. Well enough about you. Where’s Emily? Oh, let me get my sweet grand baby. I know. I’m so sorry. It’s late and she’s already asleep. Oh, darn it. Yeah. So, um, sorry you wasted the trip. Well, can, can I, can I just take a peek at her please? I won’t wake her up. Please listen. Okay.

Okay. I just. A peak, Ken’s first bedroom on your right. Oh, you’re a adult. Thank you. Thank you. Thank

about Grand Central Station.

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

Sarah wasn’t expecting you. I, I’m so sorry to show up like this, but I have news and I just, I had to tell you one person. Yeah, I have some news too, so, okay, so when you left, One of our patients in our clinical trial had a breakthrough. His immune system is responding just as we predicted it would. Really?

Yes. I ran the test three times and we did it. We did it. Oh my God, that’s so great. But listen, you, you have this, this is gonna change the way that we treat infectious diseases, Sarah. Bonnie’s here. Sarah Horton. Is that you?

Over my dead body. Come on Gwen. You’re desperate. We have to replace got bay s a desperate, not so desperate, to the point where we resort to hiring your girlfriend. Chloe’s not my girlfriend. We’re just roommates. Yeah, right. Well, you’re so interested in what’s going on with me and Chloe. I thought you were busy shagging Alex all the time.

Wow. Well that’s over now. He ended it. He indeed. Yeah. Something about. Wanting to be a better person or something. I don’t know. It’s all about the impossible dream. Look, if we can just go back to talking about what we were talking about. We need a qualified, seasoned sales professional to replace Gotley, not some outer work, bloody lounge singer.

Close an opera singer. Oh yeah. That changes everything, doesn’t it? Singing La Traviata isn’t exactly an MBA in three years experience like we are looking for, Chloe ran a successful restaurant and she’s had important jobs at Basic Black and Amara Enterprises. She’s more than qualified. Oh, brilliant. Well then she can get a job elsewhere, can’t she?

Because we are not hiring her at the Spectator. And that’s final.

Do you mind if I come in so we can talk about this? Do you wanna come in to talk about things or do you wanna come and check things out? How many times do I have to tell you? Xander and I are just, we’re all close. I don’t wanna talk about Xander. I don’t care about Xander. Okay. I have a business proposition for you.

I want you to come back to Basic Black.

I understand you’re upset with me. But you have no right to use that tone with me. What tone should I use? You canned my son over the phone because he didn’t follow direct orders, and as a result we lost a multimillion dollar deal, a deal that was already negotiated and all he had to do was close it. But what he did in reality was scare the client off.

Alex didn’t scare him off the deal. Did there were problems in that deal from the start? Really? Well, I guess that’s Alex’s version of what happened. He’s very good at coming up with excuses. It’s the other part of the job that he’s having trouble with. Hmm. So that’s your call, right? You’ve been a corporate mogul for all of what, five minutes.

Who are you to say that Alex isn’t qualified? Hmm. And there it is. That’s it, isn’t it? You don’t think I’m qualified? Well, the fact is, Victor die. And by the way, Justin, he agrees with me about Alex. Alex, you’re being too hard on yourself. You had no idea how the client was gonna behave at that meeting.

Maggie completely overreacted by firing you. He really thinks so. Yeah, I do. I think she might have a point here. You’re impossible. Do you want another beer? Yes, please. Thank you, and I’m sorry for being such a rotten company. Maybe uh, maybe you can talk to Dr. Evans about that. Yeah, I’ll get it.

Hi honey, I’m home.

Chad, you’re back. Hey. Yeah. I got in a couple hours ago. I talked to the kids and uh, came straight here.

I really missed you. Same. Tell me everything. I was worried. Uh, first Alex to, uh, what do we owe? The pleasure.

You want me to come back to work at Basic Block? I do. Look, Nicole is working with EJ at Damara. All right. And I’m all alone over there. And, I need you, Brady. I’m not sure. Wait, I promise if you come back, we’ll keep everything strictly professional. That’s easier said than done. You have my word on it. Look, it’s not, look, it’s not the same over there without you.

You know that we work well together. And you know that I respect your work and your work ethic and what you do over there at the base of black office. So come on, just please tell, say you will, Brady. I’m, I’m sorry, I can’t, if if it’s Kristen, don’t worry about it. I’ll beef up security. No, it’s not. Kristen, what’s the problem then?

It isn’t a problem. It’s just that I was offered a new job. I’ll be working at the spectator.

What is Xander?

Uh, the way I understand it. We run the spectators as a partnership. You don’t get to just make unilateral staffing decisions. You know what? You are absolutely right. We do run this business together, don’t we? And so that means I assume that we both want the most qualified candidate for the job. Is that right?

Right, right. So perfect. Then you and I can put a job notice up and then together we will choose the most qualified. Candidate for sales marketing director and Chloe is more than welcome to apply. It’s actually kind of sad. What is your jealousy? Just the thought of seeing Chloe and I working together is making you greener with envy than she hawk, isn’t it?

Oh God. For God’s sake, I am not jealous. Especially jealous of Chloe Bloody lane. Yeah, just keep telling yourself that,

Sarah. Aren’t you gonna turn around and say hi? Oh. Funny. Frankton told you were here. You didn’t let me. Oh, what are you doing in Chicago? Well, I came up to see Mimi and Emily and I’m sorry, but that handbag isn’t fooling anyone. One, there’s no luggage picking up to hide the fact that you’re knocked up, sweetie.

And like I said, I was at the meeting so I know that Alex was doing everything he could to save the deal. Yeah, I don’t think he really cares for stuff. Oh, man. No, no. I, uh, I realized that getting kicked out of the family business, man, it sucks, but damn What I mean, getting fired by Maggie. And they’d be like getting canned by, uh, Glen to the good witch.

It’s not funny. No, it’s not. It’s actually, that’s the worst part about it, is it’s just, it must have been so damn humiliating. You know, I’m gonna let you guys, uh, have a little alone time. Uh, thank you again. Stuff for the beer, Alex. Appreciate it. No, no, no. You know. No, you know what? He’s right. He’s, he’s right.

Maggie is just about the nicest person I’ve ever known. Yes. I just feel horrible about letting him down.

Okay. Did you really have to kick the guy while he is down? Okay. He’ll be fine. Trust me. What? Okay. Look, I’m sorry, I just, I just got back from Greece where Kate was almost killed, or your father was shot and Bob Brady is still in Tacoma. So, you know, I’m, I’m, I’m sorry if I don’t have the patience to come in here and, and see Alex pretending to cry in his beer over a job that, quite honestly, he never should have had in the first place.

He was a guest in my home. Why? I’m Stephanie. How can you forgive him after what he did to you?

Justin, I’m running a business letting Alex go. What’s a business decision? He asked me to give him a chance. I gave it to him regretfully, but he didn’t deliver. I don’t think it’s fair of you. To make this a family issue, to make it personal. This is a family business, Maggie. It’s all personal. Okay. Look, I understand that I can be a little protective of Alex.

Adrian and I did our best to keep things steady for him at home. But Angelica would swoop in and swoop out and I mean it’s, it’s no wonder that he seems to struggle in his relationships with women. In his personal life and in the workplace he’s in therapy. I’m sure you’re aware of that. Yes, he told me, but it doesn’t change the fact that I left him specific instructions on how to handle this meeting and he went rogue.

Okay, Maggie, look, I understand that Alex blew this deal by going rogue as you put it. But what’s killing him? It’s not that he lost the job, it’s letting you down. So isn’t there just some way that you can just give him one more chance?

Remind me to never play poker with Maggie. She sure knows how to keep her cards close to her. Vesta had no idea you were expecting, sweetie. Yeah, that’s cuz uh, she. Doesn’t know no one in Salem does. Oh, why not? You don’t have to answer that. You don’t want anyone to know because it’s Santa’s baby, isn’t it?

That’s what you wanna think. Isn’t it because it would already feed your huge ego to think that I’m jealous of Chloe la, which I am not. I don’t wanna hire that bloody dullard of a woman because she’s not qualified for the bloody job. And yet when I showed up here, you were desperate to get some anyone.

In place. I guess she just meant anyone but Chloe. Huh? Anyone who is qualified. She has qualified and she can start work immediately. Gwen, we don’t have time to recruit and screen candidates. I’m putting my foot down. I offer Chloe the job. It’s hers. End off

fine. Hire her. But when this turns out to be an absolutely unmitigated disaster, it’s coming outta your half of the profits. Agreed. You know, it is a pleasure as always, hashing things out with you partner. I’ll go tell Chloe the good news. Run along. Do that.

Bonnie, you’re way off face here. Oh, I don’t think so. Look how fast you left town after you found out Xander was up to his old tricks. You wanted him out of your life and out of your baby’s life too. No, you, you don’t understand, you know, you couldn’t trust him when there’s a baby. And you know how Kira, cuz men are, their children are everything to them.

And Xander would never leave you alone. Bonnie. She doesn’t need this right now. Okay? Trust me, honey. I know what you’re going through better than anyone. My ex-husband was a complete piece of work. But listen, I really truly believe that Xander has changed this time, the better. And if I could forgive him for kidnapping, me and Susan, this has nothing to do with Xander.

Yes, it does. Honey, he has every right to know that he’s the father of this baby. There’s nothing to do with Xander because he’s not the father. I.

You’re the father. Mm-hmm. Yes I am. Mimi didn’t tell me you too. Were back together because we’re not. So you had a one night stand? Um, Bonnie. Do you remember when I found out that Xander had hooked up with Gwen Right after I told him that our marriage was over? Yeah. Well, um, I slept with Rex on the rebound and I ended up pregnant.

We didn’t find out until we moved to Chicago and yeah, we, we tried dating, but it didn’t work. Oh, okay. So Forex as the father, why keep it a secret, especially from Maggie? Especially from her. I said I didn’t want her to judge me or tell me that I was making a mistake. You know how my mom can be. Yeah.

Forgiving and open-minded and sweet as the day is long. Sounds like you don’t believe us because I don’t, cuz I know you two are lying through your teeth,

John. My mom is back. Marlena is back. Kate is alive and safe. Is Alex really what we wanna talk about? No. Okay, so then can we please just rewind, I don’t want to talk about Alex anymore. It’s not like there’s nothing else that we can talk about.

You saved Kate, and I understand that you have a new relative, Dimitri Von Leischner, isn’t it? Yeah, he’s a very fun guy. He’s a lot like his, his mother, um, sociopathic . Him and his mom are, uh, They, like James Vaughn owns Mm, I don’t really want to talk about them either. Mm. In what the, uh, stock market, the Cubs,

uh, I don’t really want to talk about any that stuff. I, um,

Hey Glen. Hey. How yourself, oh, you think maybe you could hold up a minute? I was actually on my way to see you. Oh. You, um, rethinking all of that better person rubbish. Hmm. No, but I did hear a rumor that your ad director quit. And the thing is, I happen to now be looking for a job. A job. Mm-hmm. You have a job, you have a dream job.

Why would you ever leave Tyson? Well, I didn’t leave Titan. I got fired. Oh. Oh, that’s unfortunate. It is unfortunate. But as you know, I do have experience in marketing and I’m a damn good salesman. So yeah. Maybe Alex, I’m so sorry, but we’ve just hired a new ad director already. Yeah, it’s a shame too, because you would’ve been, you would’ve been quite good.

But, um, Zander’s forced me into hiring his roommate. Turns out he wants to spend even more time with her. You don’t really seem too happy about that? Well, aside from the fact that the person in question is unqualified inci and absolutely makes my skin crawl, no. Yeah, I’m thrilled. Hmm. Well, it sounds like you’re knight and is going just about as well as mine is.

Yeah. Sounds like.

Uh, maybe, maybe you and I could, I dunno, help each other get our minds off of our troubles.

So Xander offered you a job at Jack and Jennifer’s paper. It’s Xander and Gwen’s paper now. Yeah. Yeah, because they stole it. How does Gwen feel about all this? Gwen, she’s, she’s fine with it. Is this really what you want? I mean, you really want to be living with him and working with him. I’m not saying it’s ideal.

Ideal, Chloe, my God. I mean, Xander’s Ale, but he’s nothing compared to Gwen. I mean, you might want to consider hiring a food taster if you go to work for her. I heard she’s pretty rough on women who rub her the wrong way. Oh my God. Why are you doing this? And what business is it of yours where I’m working, Chloe?

They’re not only horrible people. They know nothing about running a newspaper. It’s not gonna be long before they tank the spectator, and I don’t want to see you get hurt in the fall out. Tell us how you really feely.

Sounds like you don’t believe us because it doesn’t make any sense. You two are doctors. You do know where babies come from. Even doctors have accidents. See, I don’t think it was an accident. I think you wanted to have a baby. Sanders’s baby, and I think you got pregnant with Sanders before you found out he was running around town kidnapping people in a damn clown city.

All you enough, this is none of your damn business.

Thank you for.

It’s not gonna work.

You’re right. Okay. The baby is.

Hello Xander. Guess I better go. Oh, no, no. Stick around. I get the feeling. You’re just getting started. You know Brady. Brady don’t. Okay. Okay. Um, Good luck with your new job. I have a feeling you’re gonna need it pop by anytime. It’s always a pleasure. Was that really necessary? What? Come home to find him talking crap about me in my living room.

I’m just supposed to take it. The maturing thing would’ve been to ignore him. Trudy’s never been my strong point. Has it? Yeah. I’ve noticed. Speaking of mature and rational people, how did Gwen take you? Offering me a job? Well, I think you should be more careful how you speak about one of your new employers.

Are you serious? What did I tell you? You’ve got the job,

Gwen. Um, I don’t know. Yeah, I forgot. You’ve turned a new leaf, haven’t you? No more random shags. How’s that working out for you? By the way? Are you down the road now to becoming the new and improved Alex Kakkis? It’s going well. Actually, Dr. Evans is helping me out a lot. That’s good. I’m glad. Mm. Well, thank you.

Now all I need now is somebody to help me get my career back on track. Yeah, well good luck with that and I will see you around or not. You’ll see me around.

Did I hear somebody say they needed to get their career back on track? Oh, there he is. It’s up. Brady, I didn’t hear you coming in. I wasn’t. He was dropping. But um, if you need a job, I may have something for you. Nicole left. I’m swamped at basic plaque. You want me to come work for you? Yeah. I mean, why not?

Look, it was your idea, right? To put Eric and Nicole on that cover to launch our new collection and that thing flew off the shelves. I think you, you got a natural knack for marketing. Well, I don’t know if Uncle Vic and Auntie Mag would agree with that. I’ll tell you about Grandpa Vic. For 30 years, he has dangled that c e o Titan position over all of us.

Hmm, I get carry on a stick. The best thing I ever did is get off that treadmill. Why don’t you declare your independence and why don’t you come work with me?

Justin, I’ve given Alex so many chances. I know, but this time. Will be different because I personally am gonna be watching him like a hawk. Becky. He really needs this. Ah, you carry us men. You just don’t give up until you get what you want. It’s in our dna. N So you’ll think about this? No, no, no. Okay. You win.

He can start tomorrow. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This is his last chance. I swear, absolutely. You’ll not regret this. Oh, I hope not For all of our.

Thirsty. Oh, am I parched?

So tell me about this Dimitri guy. Well, thank you. He got here. He, um, he definitely has damara blooding him. He, uh, he managed to burn hostages from Unity, not only for himself, but for him and his mother. Who’s your half sister, right? Megan Hathaway. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Apparently my, uh, my father never wore protection.

So back to this Dimitri guy, maybe he got immunity, but he’s still on the issa’s radar. It’s only a matter of time before he commits a crime somewhere out there. And yeah. And then he loses his immunity. No, no, no. Not out there. He’s coming here to Salem. What? Oh yeah. I didn’t tell you that. Yeah, he wanted to fly on the same plane back here.

He thinks we’re gonna be best friends, but why? What’s there in Salem? He could want, I know. Family. At least that’s what he says. I mean, you didn’t take him in his word. No, I didn’t. No, I don’t, I don’t think he’s here to be a part of the family. I think he’s, uh, coming here to destroy it.

Dad thought you’re going to Chicago. What’s going on? Well, we have some good news, Maggie and I just. Had a long conversation and she has agreed to give you your job back. Really? Wow. That’s all you can say. Nothing like, thanks and Maggie, that’s so nice of you. Well, I’m sorry dad. It’s just been kind of a weird night.

It took me by surprise. When it rains and pours. Hey Alex. I just spent the better part of an hour trying to convince Maggie that you’re not a flake. So for me, can you just try not to act like one? Right.

Well, auntie Mag, I can’t tell you how happy it makes me that you think you can trust me again, but I’m not gonna be able to take back the job. What? Why not? Well, this just happened, but I have another job. Brady wants me to work for him at Basic Black

Minute. Hey, you have a minute. No, not after the way you talked to me the last time I had the pleasure. I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were that fragile. That was uncalled for. Sorry. Sorry. Cut. Go Gwen. Please. Please. I need to talk to you about a mutual problem that we have that only you can solve. Go on. I know you know that Xander offered Chloe a job at The Spectator, and my guess is you think that’s a terrible idea just like I do.

Yes, I do. Good. Then I can count on you to stop it from happening. Yeah. Sorry mate. That ship has sailed. I gave Zander permission to hire her. Oh my. Why did you do that? I dunno. You have to pick and choose your battles, both in life and in business, you know? So it turns out our exes are gonna be spending even more time with each other.

So Gwen is really okay with me coming to work at the Spectator. Well, she’s not exactly thrilled about it, but she gave the green light and she’ll come around when she sees how amazing you’re gonna be at the job. Plus, the only alternative is you go back to working with Brady and we can’t have that, can we?

I suppose we can’t. So welcome aboard Ms. Lang.

Sarah, what are you doing?

She’s onto us and there’s no sense in keeping of a lie.

You’re right. I did want a baby with Xander.

But that was before I found out what he did to you and Susan and before I found out that he was mixed up with Gwen Riz check again. I don’t wanna be married to a man like that, and I sure as hell don’t want him around an innocent child, Sarah. No, but nothing. Bonnie, this isn’t your news to tell. You have to promise me no one in Salem can find out that Xander is the father of my baby.

No one.

Previously on Ride, you don’t like the fact that Misty and I are getting close.

There’s Abel, you got all that memorabilia and it could be put to good use. We need to find an investor who believes in the possibilities like we do. How did you know? My husband? You don’t wanna know. Did he cheat on me? You are more than good enough. You took him from me. I just wanna know why

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Lily: Hello. The only thing you’re gonna find at the bottom of that coffee cup is a case of the jitters.

[ Lily laughing ] Are you still not sleeping?

Daniel: Is it that obvious?

Lily: Well, only to the trained eye.

Daniel: Do you want a cup?

Lily: Um, no, I’m good. I’m gonna be charged and centered.

Daniel: Yoga?

Lily: Yeah. You wanna join me?

[ Daniel chuckling ] No? Okay.

[ Lily laughing ] You know you can always call me, right? Even if it’s the middle of the night. I really wish there was something I could do to help you.

Daniel: Would you, um, would you actually come up to my room for a minute? I gotta tell you something.

Phyllis: Every slug leaves a trail. Where’s your trail, stark? And will it help clear my name?

[ Phyllis sighing ]

Diane: Summer, where are you sneaking off to and what’s in all the bags?

Victor: Good morning, detective.

Chance: Morning.

Victor: How are you?

Chance: I’m all right. How’re you doing?

Victor: All right. You know, I often thought about our last few conversations and I now have a deep understanding of what happened between you and abby. So, if I said things to you that were hurtful, I apologize. You got every reason to raise a fist against me.

Chance: At you? I’d be foolish to try.

[ Victor chuckling ]

Victor: Anyway, I think you’re a good man. You do well. All right?

Chance: I appreciate that.

Victor: Okay. Before you go, let me ask you something else. The accusations against diane jenkins regarding the murder of phyllis summers, are they true?

Chance: I know this is not what you wanna hear, victor, but I am not at liberty to divulge any information about an open investigation.

Victor: So, this is your polite way of saying you won’t keep me in the loop?

Chance: It’s exactly what I’m saying.

Victor: All right. Have a good day.

Chance: You too.

Victor: Nate. Very good. Have a seat, old boy.

Nate: Thank you.

Victor: What a beautiful day outside. Now, I’m starving. What are you having?

Nate: Uh, just curious as to why I’m here. Is this a meeting about newman media or is this a barbecue and I’m what’s on the grill?

Victoria: Good morning, billy.

Billy: Ooh, la, la! What do we have here? Who the heck are you?

Victoria: Same me I’ve always been.

Billy: No, this is a decidedly different ms. Newman than I’ve seen in a very long time. You got a little pep in your step.

Victoria: Well, it could be the shoes. I had them flown in from milan.

Billy: I noticed the shoes. It’s not your shoes. No, this is–

Victoria: A woman on the top of her game. So, how’s everything going at jabot?

Billy: You’re trying to change the subject and I can’t let that happen because it’s me.

Victoria: You know, I was having such a lovely morning until I ran into you.

[ Billy chuckling ]

Billy: Just tell me what I wanna know and I’ll go away.

Victoria: Quietly?

Billy: You know me too well, just like I know you. So, this pep in your step, when do I get to meet the guy? I used to wait to run my dishwasher

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Victoria: All right. As a matter of fact, yes, I am seeing someone.

Billy: Well, now, look at you. That’s great. I’m very happy to hear that.

Victoria: Thank you.

Billy: Look, you went through hell with he-who-shall-not-be-named. Those shenanigans are enough to put anyone off of love and romance. So, who is the guy?

Victoria: It’s nate hastings.

Billy: That’s funny. Same name as the guy who’s living with elena dawson.

Victoria: He’s not anymore.

Billy: I should hope not.

Victoria: And before you say anything, billy, I have no intention of introducing him to the kids in the near future, so.

Billy: I hadn’t even gotten there yet, vic.

Victoria: Well, what happened to all of your support? The “way to go, victoria?” Am I about to get a ticket from the billy abbott morality police?

Summer: Oh, um, I was just getting donations together for the clothing drive at the women’s center.

Diane: Oh, how charitable of you? I– I wish I would’ve known. I’m sure there’s a few things I could have added.

Summer: Well, they do it a few times a year, so. Uh, and this one actually is just for kids’ clothes, so.

Diane: Oh, I see.

Summer: I’ll let you know next time.

Diane: Oh, please do. You know, I wish I could go with you and help out. I’m going crazy stuck in this house.

Summer: It’s just as well, because I– I think I’m gonna go for a long drive afterwards to clear my head, you know.

Diane: Of course. Summer, I don’t mean to keep you.

Summer: What’s up?

Diane: I’m sorry. I’m sure you’re wondering what I’m apologizing for, but I’m sorry that my situation is causing so much stress between you and kyle.

Summer: Kyle and I are gonna be fine.

Diane: Well, just know that I want this case resolved as much as you do. More even.

Summer: I’m sure that you do, diane.

Diane: Yeah. And while I have my own issues with your mother and the horrible position that she’s put us all in, especially you, I want you to know that I– I do still care for you. And I am here for you and kyle, whatever you need, just let me know.

Summer: Thanks.

Daniel: Thank you for giving me a minute. I don’t even know how to say this.

Lily: That’s okay. Is it about lucy?

Daniel: No, she couldn’t be better.

Lily: Okay. Good. Is it work? And I’m– I’m asking as your friend, not your boss.

Daniel: We are on schedule and under budget.

Lily: Okay. Good. I love hearing that.

[ Lily laughing ] It’s about your mom?

Daniel: That’s the one. Yeah. That whole general area right there.

Lily: Yeah. What’s going on?

Daniel: Did you notice that I haven’t been grieving as much as I was when we first heard about what happened?

Lily: Well, I mean, everyone grieves differently. That’s natural.

Daniel: No, there is nothing natural about it and that’s the whole point. There are things that have happened that I had no control over, but I did not do something and I regret it.

Lily: What did you not do?

Daniel: I did not tell you the truth. And it’s only because I was sworn to secrecy and I don’t know. The whole thing is just driving me crazy.

Lily: Okay, daniel, what’s going on? What happened?

Daniel: My mother is alive.

Daniel: So that’s, um, that’s the whole story for now. Can you say something please?

[ Lily exhaling ]

Lily: I– I don’t think I can, ’cause I think if I do, you’re gonna end up hating me.

Daniel: No, never.

Lily: Daniel, like what? Like what– what world does your mother think it’s okay to fake her own death?

Daniel: I mean, in her defense–

Lily: Are you– are you being serious right now?

Daniel: She wanted to end the charade, but stark stopped her. I mean, he tried to kill her, so she had to stop him first.

Lily: Sorry. Stop him how?

Daniel: It was self-defense.

Lily: Wait, are you telling me that she killed jeremy stark?

Daniel: He attacked her first. He attacked her first.

Lily: I– I– I– I– I don’t even know what to say. Nope. Not gonna say anything. It’s your mother. You thought she was gone and you’re happy she’s back and that’s your priority.

Daniel: Listen, I brought you here because I wanna hear what you have to say.

Lily: Daniel, this is not what a mother does. A mother protects her children and behaves in a way to show her children how to behave in the world, whether you’re an adult or a child. She let you think that she was dead. She let you grieve and then she kills jeremy’s stark? She frames diane. She won’t come home to clear diane until she’s sure that she’s off scot-free. I am sorry, but your mother is selfish and she’s a coward.

Victor: Now, this is not a grilling, it’s a friendly catch up. It’s been a while.

Nate: It has.

Victor: You’ve seen our family go through ups and downs. We have known you for a while.

Nate: Things were, uh, complicated then.

Victor: Yeah, that’s putting it mildly. So, you’ve learned how our family operates.

Nate: I’m gonna take a stab in the dark. I’m here because nick is opposed to me on every level. Not only does he want me out of newman media because of sally, now, he’s questioning my character.

Victor: I form my own opinion about people, nate.

Nate: I appreciate that about you.

Victor: So, it’s no secret that your relationship with my daughter, victoria, has gone beyond the professional.

Nate: This is true.

Victor: But as her father, you can imagine that I would like to know a bit more about you personally. What do you think?

Nate: I like that very much.

Billy: So, I’m a hypocrite for having an opinion about nate?

Victoria: Oh, having it is one thing, but sharing it with me, that’s another thing.

Billy: Okay, fair enough. The view from my glasshouse is legendary. So, how about this? I’ll put down my sticks and stones if you do the same thing. No talk of romance or relationships or any of that. We’ll talk about the kids. How about them kids, huh?

Victoria: Let’s talk about the kids, yeah. You know, johnny, he, um, he’s been going on and on about this big family dinner that you had the other night.

Billy: Yeah. Crazy times.

Victoria: Yeah. You wanna remind me of that eclectic guest list again? It was your ex and her current and your girlfriend and johnny and connor and daniel’s daughter.

Billy: All came out of the blue.

Victoria: Yeah. Well, I can’t see anybody wanting to plan that on purpose.

Billy: It was the spur of the moment and we went with it.

Victoria: That’s nice.

Billy: You actually sound like you mean that.

Victoria: I do. I’ve heard lucy’s name mentioned around the house a few times, so i guess she’s made a real impression on our son.

Billy: Yeah. Felt like there was a little something in the air. How about that? We’re all following our hearts, as it should be. ‘Cause you never know who life is gonna throw your way.

Victoria: Yeah, that’s true. God knows I didn’t– I didn’t see this coming–

Billy: Careful. This is a risky conversation. But since you brought it up, are you happy?

Victoria: I’m very happy.

Billy: Then, I’m happy for you.

Victoria: Thank you. Because at this point I would hate to have to hide anything in my life. And work and family and personal, it just– it keeps getting better and better.

Chance: What’s new in the lab? Please tell me you’re calling about that miracle I asked you to work? Yeah. What do you got? Walk me through it. Okay. Yeah. What do you know? Okay. Yeah. Thank you. I, uh, I owe you big time. Dinner it is. Absolutely. Yeah. You’re the best. We’ll see you.

Phyllis: Everybody leaves breadcrumbs, stark. Everyone. There’s gotta be some sketchy search or some email you forgot to encrypt. Something that gives me proof that I did the right thing by defending myself. I’ll find it.

[ Door knob jiggling ] Oh, it’s you. Good, good, good. Oh, my gosh. I missed you. Not just because I’m starting to talk to myself and I am really starting to talk to myself, just so you know. Are you okay?

Summer: Yeah, I’ve been better.

Phyllis: Oh, all right. Good. I’m glad you’re okay. So, so…

[ Summer exhaling ] Did anyone see you in the lobby?

Summer: No, I took the stairs.

Phyllis: Okay, good.

Summer: What have you found out?

Phyllis: Um, I’m trying to find out something about that emt guy.

Summer: The one that stark paid off?

Phyllis: Yeah, his name is carson.

Summer: Oh, I’m sure that stark paid really well. He’s probably living on a tropical island by now.

Phyllis: Well, I mean, it’s not a lost cause. We can still find some proof.

[ Laughs ] So, um, talk to me about, you know, your monster in-law. I mean, is she just in all her glory wrecking me over the coals because she knows I’m alive?

Summer: She restrains herself.

Phyllis: Hm. Does she? There are other ways to be awful. Trust me. What about christine? She still doesn’t buy daniel’s story that I’m alive?

Summer: Oh, my god, daniel. I–

Phyllis: Oh, my god, daniel what?

Summer: I don’t wanna talk about him, okay? He opened his big mouth to the wrong people.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, I mean, I understand what you’re saying and I have a problem with him doing that too. I mean, I would’ve loved to have more time to come up with a plaN.

Summer: What we needed was an ironclad justification for what you did. That was supposed to be step one.

Phyllis: Let’s look at things from daniel’s perspective, okay? Let’s just–

Summer: No. I don’t wanna look at it from daniel’s perspective. I don’t– I don’t understand his perspective and I’m never going to. Ultomiris is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis

Phyllis: All right. Sorry. I don’t wanna tell you how to think or feel. You’re an adult. I just hate it that my kids are at odds, that’s all.

Summer: I just don’t– I don’t understand why he’s so infuriating. I– I literally asked him to do the simplest thing.

Phyllis: Well, it’s because he’s danny’s son. And danny has a moral compass that’s just stuck at do the right thing.

Summer: What does that say about ours?

Phyllis: Well, our moral compass is sort of like, uh, you know, do what you have to do. Do what’s necessary to get the job done. Listen, if you both had been raised by me, daniel would be, you know, more like us. You know, more shoot from the hip, more flexible.

Summer: Didn’t turn out that way, did it?

Phyllis: No. But you know what? We’re a family. We are a family, summer. And sometimes we disagree and we fight and we do the wrong thing, but we make up. I mean, look at me. I came back from the dead. Anything can happen, so.

Summer: Mom, I sincerely hope that you have a backup plan.

Phyllis: Obviously, I have a backup plan.

Summer: One that doesn’t involve you disappearing if things don’t go your way?

Phyllis: Yeah. You know what I wanna do? I wanna repair what’s been broken. I did this. I ruined the relationship between you and your brother, okay? I wanna repair that. I mean, I cannot believe that I’ve put you guys in this position, all right?

Summer: Mom, what you need to do is focus on clearing your name so that you can come back to us for real. My relationship with him, it’s not a priority.

Lily: Look, I’m sorry. That came out a lot harsher than I meant it to.

Daniel: No. No. I mean, if we can’t be honest with each other, why even bother, right?

Lily: Look, I understand your mom’s instinct to wanna run away from what’s coming for her, but at some point, you have to face your fears. And what she’s doing is she’s taking the easy way out.

Daniel: She’s not gonna stay gone forever.

Lily: No. Just until she faces zero consequences.

Daniel: She’s coming back one way or the other.

Lily: Really? Are you sure?

Daniel: Yeah. I have to be sure because, you know, the alternative is… it’s unthinkable.

Lily: God, I– I hate what her choices are doing to you.

Daniel: What was it like for you? After the accident with hilary. Going to prison.

Lily: It was awful, you know. I didn’t wanna go, but I knew that I wouldn’t be able to look at myself or look devon in the eyes again if I didn’t pay for what I did. Like someone died because of my actions. There has to be consequences to that.

Daniel: Prison must have been brutal.

Lily: Yeah, of course, but, you know, there’s a silver lining to everything. And I met a lot of amazing women. You know, I got to help a few and– and I came out stronger for it.

Daniel: Not many people would’ve done what you did.

Lily: I don’t think that’s true, daniel.

Daniel: Look at my mother. I mean, she’s willing to frame an innocent woman and let her go to prison for murder, and summer, summer’s not much better. She’s following right behind mom in her footsteps.

Lily: Absolutely. I agree with you. And I do not respect their choices, but I support you and I know that you love them.

Daniel: Yeah, I do love them, but I don’t know if that’s enough anymore. I mean, how the heck are we supposed to ever be a family again?

Victor: If I hadn’t seen that with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Nate: That is an incredible story.

Victor: I know, right? Another example of how life can surprise you when you least expect it, you know?

Nate: Truer words were never spoken.

Victor: That’s right.

Nate: You know, um, I know you’ve heard this a thousand times, but you’re the reason I enrolled in business courses in college.

Victor: You serious?

Nate: Yes. I– I picked up a copy of your biography, man and myth.

Victor: That was from another lifetime.

Nate: I wanted to learn more about the company and the man that meant so much to neil.

Victor: Yeah, well, neil was one of the few men I trusted, you know?

Nate: Yeah.

Victor: He was a good friend.

Nate: Yeah. Deeply missed. And, uh, as I got deeper and learned more about your life, what struck me was how you managed to create so much, build so many companies from practically nothing

Victor: Got lucky.

Nate: [ Laughs ] I’d say it’s more than that. But I admire your modesty, as well as the way you’ve nurtured and raised your daughter.

Victor: So, just cut to the chase, nate. What are your plans for my daughter?

Christine: Hey, I got your message. You said you had news?

Chance: I just got off the phone with the lab.

Christine: So, the results are in? Okay. Break it to me gently. How bad is it?

Chance: You might wanna sit down for this. Hi.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. Hi.

Nate: You’re, uh, asking my intention vis a vis victoria?

Victor: You’ve known her for years. In fact, you were best man at her wedding to ashland locke.

Nate: I wish I’d known then what I know now.

Victor: Don’t we all?

Nate: I know a few ceos and even fewer surgeons who are shrinking violets. I think what led me to medicine was my mother. I wanted to follow the example she set, so when I learned I couldn’t operate anymore, um, I felt I needed a new outlet.

Victor: Ah. Let me ask you, doing surgery must be incredibly stressful.

Nate: Indeed, it was. Yeah. But I– I lost that gift and found I had another in business.

Victor: Uh-huh.

Nate: And victoria has been a big part of that. Her support, her faith in me. She accepts me for who I am and where I am. It’s been, um, it’s been a hard road lately. I’m not sure how much you’ve heard.

Victor: Some.

Nate: Mm-hmm. When your family turns their backs on you, when they revile you, say you’re bringing shame to the name that you’re different.

Victor: And you feel less than appreciated.

Nate: [ Laughs ] Exactly. So, it’s reassuring to be appreciated so fearlessly.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Nate: I need people like her in my life.

Victor: Now, you know what she had to endure during her marriage with ashland locke.

Nate: Oh, I would never undermine her or the company in any way. Hell, she’d never allow it, neither would you.

Lily: Forget about my feelings about phyllis and summer and what they did, okay? What matters is you helping your sister get your mom back here to clear diane, okay? Do it for diane. Do it for yourselves. It’s the only way to move forward.

Daniel: Yeah. What mom did–

Lily: Let a judge and jury decide what should happen.

Daniel: There’s no way summer or mom are gonna let that happen.

Lily: Well, you know what? You’re not responsible for their choices. You’re responsible for your own. And that includes you mending things with your sister.

Daniel: Summer doesn’t want anything to do with me.

Lily: Why not?

Daniel: Because I opened the vault. I told everyone that mom was alive.

Lily: Yeah. You were just doing what you thought was best for your mom.

Daniel: Exactly. I mean, I thought michael could come up with a solid self-defense case while diane was being cleared of the charges against her.

Lily: Okay. Look, just let michael deal with the legal stuff. All that matters right now is you fixing things between the three of you. You will never regret giving someone forgiveness and grace because that’s who you are.

Summer: You know what? There’s a lot that I would do for you, a lot. Because you’re my mom and I love you, but I’m– I’m sorry you don’t get to dictate how I feel about your other child.

Phyllis: My other child? Seriously? You won’t even say his name? Summer, what is this? This is not nothing.

Summer: What we need to focus on right now is this mess that you’ve created.

Phyllis: That jeremy stark created. I was manipulated.

Summer: Yeah. Your husband.

Phyllis: Summer, I made a mistake.

Summer: Mom, this mistake– this mistake is gonna land you in prison if we don’t get this right.

Phyllis: That laptop right there, that’s gonna bolster my case.

Summer: Okay. Well, I would hope that you’d be doing more than online shopping on this thing, so it’s good.

Phyllis: I got that at a pawn shop.

[ Chuckles ] Ask me about the wisconsin penal code. I know it by heart, by the way.

Summer: Is there anything in there that would help you?

Phyllis: Well, I haven’t come up with anything yet, but I’m doing research on, you know, jeremy stark’s emails. I’m doing a deep dive.

Summer: Okay. Anything there that would prove your case?

Phyllis: To support my claim of self-defense? That’s what you mean, right?

Summer: Yes.

Phyllis: No, I haven’t found anything yet. Summer, I will. Summer, you gotta trust me. And we gotta think smarter. You know why?

Summer: Tell me.

Phyllis: Because the two of us together are way smarter than jeremy stark ever was. And there is something out there that will get me off the hook for this. I know it and we will find it.

Chance: The program from phyllis’s memorial was covered in prints. And miracle of all miracles, we managed to get dna results from the tear stains.

Christine: And what did they tell you?

Chance: Everything is a match for the deceased.

[ Diane sighing ]

Billy: Hi.

Diane: Hey.

Billy: How you doing?

Diane: I’m good. How about you?

Billy: Good. Good. Is, uh, is the man of the manor home?

Diane: Oh, no, no, no. He went off on an adventure.

Billy: An adventure? For what?

Diane: Oh, precious treasure. He’s buying me a book.

[ Laughs ] Can you imagine the sites he’s going to see today? People on the street enjoying their day, cars passing by. Bits of conversation that have nothing to do with my court case.

Billy: Sounds like you need to get out more.

Diane: Yeah. Tell it to my ankle monitor. So, what brings you by?

Billy: I just wanted to talk to jack, little bit of jabot business.

Diane: Oh. Well, tell me everything. How’s it going for you there?

Billy: Sounds like you’re running outta ways to spend your time, huh? You know, I have a whole list of podcasts you can listen to.

Diane: Oh, true crime? Not my thing f or obvious reasons.

Billy: That’s good. You’re still working on your gallows humor.

Diane: Yeah, it comes with the territory, you know?

Billy: So, what’s going on there? Any new developments?

Diane: Same old, same old. I am still innocent and I can’t wait for everyone else to know that too.

Billy: Well, how do we make that happen? Because if you don’t rise up out of this as a free woman, it could very well destroy my brother and quite possibly my entire family.

Victor: Well, nate, this has been edifying. Thank you for your candor.

Nate: It’s been my pleasure. I always enjoy spending time with you, victor, with the icon and with the man.

Victor: I’m sure we’ll see each other soon again?

Nate: Count on it.

Victor: All right.

Victoria: What did I miss?

Victor: What do you mean? What did– were you spying on us? You could have joined us.

Victoria: No, I wasn’T. I was walking back to the office and I saw the two of you talking. I didn’t wanna intrude. It looked important.

Victor: It was.

Victoria: Well, are you gonna tell me anything else about the results of your grilling?

Victor: Why do you always assume that I grill people? Can’t I just have a normal conversation with someone?

Victoria: [ Laughs ] No, not that I know of. So?

Victor: He’s all right. He’s a good guy.

Victoria: Yeah, he’s driven. He’s very ambitious.

Victor: Well, now those are qualities that I really appreciate, unlike your brother.

Victoria: But do you approve of us, daddy?

Victor: You don’t need my approval. Yes, I do.

Chance: So, they matched the dna from the tear stains to the blood sample that was recovered from the crash. And as for the prints–

Christine: Yeah. Well, for all the time she’s been brought up on charges, her fingerprints are definitely in the system.

Chance: A match.

Christine: So, what’s the rest of the bad news?

Chance: Since the programs from the memorial were printed after her death–

Christine: It can only mean one thing. Phyllis is alive. Oh, how I would love to get my hands on phyllis summers. Don’t you quote me on that.

Chance: Didn’t hear a thing.

Christine: I– I’m glad she’s alive, but I’ve never wanted to kill someone as much as I wanna murder her right now.

Chance: It was a lot simpler when she was dead. This is off the record, by the way.

Christine: Damn it, phyllis. This was supposed to be my great return to the prosecutor’s office, and she engineered this whole thing. What in the hell was she thinking? And now you’re telling me she did actually show up at her memorial? Think about that. She watched her family grieve and give their eulogies and cried. I mean, what kind of narcissistic, self-absorbed, twisted personality does such a thing?

Chance: She could have got the programs from stark.

Christine: Oh, and cried afterwards? Why? Because she was so moved by the type setting?

Chance: Maybe her conscience was getting to her after she thought about what she did.

Christine: I mean, think about it. She did all of this, all of it to make one woman suffer. It was vindictive. It was vicious. And if she went to all this trouble to fake her death, you can be damn sure she went to that memorial. She watched it play out. God, I wish I had thought and believed that phyllis was alive.

Chance: And the plan was for me to keep eyes on the suspect. I didn’t know I was supposed to watch out for the victim too.

Christine: You know what really gets me? All these big fish in the small pond, bending the law to fit their needs, they want us to protect them and give them resources when a crime is committed against them, but when they’re the ones that cross the line, no, they want us to look the other way. Well, forget it. I am gonna make sure they all get the justice they deserve.

Daniel: There is, uh, something that we haven’t discussed.

Lily: What is it?

Daniel: How good are you at keeping secrets?

Lily: Daniel, I’m not gonna say anything to anyone. I promise you.

Daniel: You have this quality that makes me wanna tell you things. I’m just wondering if I should ignore that voice in the back of my head.

Lily: Look, I am here to support you, but from what you told me, I’m not the only one who knows about this. So when it goes public, there will be fallout.

Daniel: Yeah, I know. I thought about that. No one’s gonna come out at this looking good, including me.

Lily: Look, I’m here for you, okay? I know who you are.

Phyllis: This is all extraordinary. All of these snacks.

[ Phyllis laughing ]

Summer: Guess everything tastes better when you’re in hiding.

Phyllis: Well, you know what? I was right when I called you my secret weapon. You are. You know all the foods that I love, even the products I love.

Summer: Mom, those are your products that you left at the grand phoenix when, you know.

Phyllis: Oh, when diane poisoned me and I died? Okay. Listen, I’m not trying to make a joke. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what I did. And I want you to know I’m going to spend the rest of my very long life trying to make it up to you and your brother.

Summer: Focus on clearing your name so you actually can come back to life, okay? I didn’t do all of this just so you could go to prison.

Phyllis: All right. I’ll do my best.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: But for the time being, this room, this is your prison cell, okay? Until further notice. I– I’m serious, mom. Don’t leave this room for any reason.

Phyllis: You don’t trust me?

Summer: No. Stay put.

Diane: She who laughs last laughs loudest. Just wait and see.

Billy: Do you have a judge in your pocket?

Diane: Better. I have truth on my side.

Billy: I’m sure half of the people in prison say the same thing, so… what is it? Do you know something that your lawyers don’t?

Diane: Just this, I have no intention of going to prison for phyllis’s murder. They’ll clear my name. They have to. My future with jack depends on it.

Christine: Phyllis and stark did all of this. They fabricated and planted the evidence that directed us right to diane.

Chance: Yeah, a lot of work went into this plan.

Christine: They had the entire town grieving. They exploited the services of the emergency medical team. And don’t even get me started on the storm they created at the morgue. It’s reprehensible and chance, it’s just the beginning.

Chance: Does this mean you’re buying the evidence?

Christine: I can’t ignore the obvious. Phyllis is alive and she has no idea what she’s unleashed.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

This seat taken cowboy? Yes. I’m waiting on my dates. Oh, Wilson. She or he or they isn’t or aren’t here yet. Perhaps you’d like to give Lady Whistleblower the inside scoop on your recent family drama. What recent drama haven’t you heard? You’re indefatigable, auntie Kristen. I think that’s the appropriate adjective.

Bit of a mouthful. But anyway, she was released from prison. What again? What did, did she get another pardon? Mm-hmm. Immunity. It’s like a revolving door with her, isn’t it? One minute she’s in. The next minute she’s out. But that is boring. Boring and old news. I am way more interested in your other Aunt Megan Hathaway.

I think it’s long overdue that I take the family name. After all, I’m not a half the way. The purpose of that name was served long ago. I am now claiming to be a dememer completely and entirely,

uh, here, here. To Megan Dira. Cheers. Cheers. Thank you both for your lovely words on behalf of the family and now ej. That is something I’d like to say to you.

Well, fine. You figured it out. You’re a genius. Okay, but please, Tony. You can’t tell a soul. No. Tony, I can’t let you do this.

Hey, you. How you doing here? It’s nice to see you. Yeah, you too. I knew you’d be tending to your brother most of the day, so I thought I’d stop by and see if you needed anything. That’s very sweet of you, but I’m okay. And Collin is, he’s fine too. Good. So what are you two up to? Hmm? What do you mean? Well, when I came around the corner, I found the two of you with your heads together that seemed to be very interested in that box.

So what’s in it? It’s a medical test kit. A a test for what?

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

A test for a virus. A a virus. Yes. There was an outbreak on the 10th floor. I mean, it’s contained now, but to protect all the other patients from getting it, the visitors for the next 24 hours have to test negative before they let ’em in. Wow. That’s crazy. Yeah. So I, I was gonna share one of my tests with Sloan.

You know, since the hospital is low on supply, otherwise she wouldn’t. Be able to see your brother and as generous as Nicole’s offer is. I, I have to decline because I, I really think you should. No, you should have that test, Eric. Me. Why? Because me carver’s a family friend. I mean, despite my own feelings about his family, I’m sure you’d like to visit him.

What do you think, Nicole? Yeah, I, I think it makes sense. Yeah. You know what, Eric, why don’t you take a test right now and I’ll bring it straight to the lab.

Anna Wooden Gold’s name is wrong with you. I think she’s been guzzling too much wine at the bar again, excuse you. I am perfectly sober. My husband, on the other hand, obviously knocked back one too many at the bistro. What I’ve seen so sober as a judge to me. Well, that’s because I am, well, Kristin, you don’t know him like I do.

He’s obviously. Sous love Billy’s sake, and when he gets like this, he makes unwise decisions and I wouldn’t want him to say anything that he will regret later. Damn it, Anna. Anna, I think it’s adorable that you’re so protective of Tony, but we’re all family here and we should feel free to say whatever we want to each other.

Absolutely. You have the floor brother.

So tell me about Auntie May. I heard everyone thought she kicked the bucket in a hot tub incident back in the eighties. You’re asking the wrong guy. I’ve, I’ve never even met the woman. Hey, sorry, I’m looking for this slate. Hey, that’s okay. Wait a minute. Your Johnny’s date. Yes. Why?

I just assumed it would be Chanel Dupree.

What the hell, man? Like I told you before, there is nothing going on between Chanel and me. It’s history. Well, history has a way of repeating itself, so the engagement is definitely off. Oh, for God’s sake, it was never on. All right. I’m dating Wendy. Okay. My mistake. It is just so hard to keep up with things around here.

People change partners the way they change underwear. And speaking of flip flopping shin, did you really believe Johnny’s? I was high on Biscuit story. Well, Johnny wouldn’t lie to me, so yes I did. Not that it’s any of your business. So you believe he only has eyes for you? She believes it because it’s true.

Oh, that is so sweet. Too bad my shin doesn’t feel the same way. What the hell? What are you squawking on about now? My spies. Uh, Sources tell me that Ms. Shin ran off to Seattle to be with Trip Johnson, but since you’re back here now back to knock him back with this fine chap, does that mean that you’ve dumped the Good Doctor?

Was his bedside manner lacking? Oh my God, no. Of course not. Okay, so it’s double your pleasure. Double your fun. You little makes.

Well, what is it you wanted to tell me, Tony?

To be perfectly honest, I thought you deserved a toast in your honor as well, Jay, A toast or a roast, because I completely agree on the roast. I, I’ll get it started. I said a toast. Over the last seven months. Ejs done a tremendous job as c e o. You mean as Co c o Stefan, we all know that you’ve been promoted recently, but I’m talking before that.

EJ was doing very nicely on his own. As a matter of fact, under his leadership, Demer Enterprises has attained tremendous heights. Ah, you are right, Anna. He’s completely wasted. Sorry, just Megan, you haven’t been around to witness the ups and downs of Demira over the years, but trust me when I say that ej.

Is best suited for the job and it would be wise of you to wholeheartedly support him. You as well, Kristin, quite an endorsement. Indeed. Perhaps it would be prudent to just skip the actual toast. You’ve made your point, Tony. Ej. Artie thinks she’s the second coming. Tony, darling. Now that you’ve said your peace, may I have a word with you in private, why make a.

Come darling.

Well, I can see that Anna is still quite the drama queen. Tony, what were you thinking? I asked you not to tell EJ about Nicole’s pregnancy, and yet you were ready to blab that news in front of everyone. Oh, heaven’s sake. I’m just gonna do nothing in the sort. Oh, don’t play innocent with me. I’m just glad I got you to back down.

And thank God you came up with that cover story, Anna. You know, if you would just calm down and listen to me for a change. It was not a cover story. I said what I intended to say in the first place. Oh, you did? Did you? Yes. There’s a power struggle going on in there between EJ and Steph. I’m fine for my sister’s votes.

I just wanted to make it clear that I support ej. Really? Yes. Really. So you were not planning to expose Nicole’s secret? No, I was not. But you almost did that on your own.

Yeah. Thank you. But no, it wouldn’t be right. I. Tests seem to be scarce, so I’d much rather slow down it. Oh look, I was with my brother earlier. Really? I can’t wait to see him, but you shouldn’t have to as much as I’d like to see am I think it’s more important that you’d be with your family. Okay. If you insist.

I, I do listen. How about I just meet you back at your place? Great. Okay. I’ll see you too later.

Damn. Well it was a good idea I that it failed miserably and now we’re back to the same problem. This is not a problem. It’s. It’s impossibility. Try getting a cheek swab from someone without explaining to them why. Look, Sloan Moon is forcing you to help me. You can still back out. No, no. I’ve invested interest in this too.

Obviously, since my boyfriend can be your baby daddy.

I pray to God he’s not

okay. I am sorry. I doubted you sweetheart. There’s nothing new there. Oh, come on. Give me a break. I mean, when we were at the bistro, you seem to be on the fence about it and I had just promised Nicole that I wouldn’t tell a soul that she would, you know, in the family way. I still don’t feel right about this, and I’m still on the fence as you put it.

EJ has a right to know, a right to know what.

Look, you’re making Wendy very uncomfortable. Okay? Oh, come on. I’m just having fun with her. No, you are making fun of me. There’s a big difference, sweetie. Relax. Everybody loves a good love triangle. Just ask Olivia Wild. She hasn’t been this relevant since well ever. Okay. Can you make him go away please? So tell me, did you serve your special salad dressing to trip Johnny?

Both. I don’t know what that means, but if you print a word of this, I will hack into all of your accounts and make your life a living hell. Good thing I make a point to always delete my search history. Oh, good thing. Nothing on a computer is ever really deleted. There’s no need to get Tessie. Honey. I am on your side.

On my side. Well, how the hell are you on my side? Because I sympathize with your conundrum. God, I love that word. Anyway, I understand why you are torn between these two men. They are both super hot, although I would say that trip probably has a slight advantage. No, just shut up. Okay. He’s a successful doctor.

Good with his hands. Valuable member of society. Where’s Johnny here? I mean, even though he is swimming in Dir, money is basically just in. Out of work, Dante. Oh, okay. Well that’s, it looks like I lost, struck the nerve now. Okay. Hey, I heard that Gabby and your brother filed for divorce. Please feel free to give Lee my number.

And is it true that Gabby and Stephan are already engaged?

I said I wouldn’t trust a word. Tony says, uh, not only does he have a screw loose, he’s completely biased. It’s basically e j’s lap dog. Yeah, I mean, have you seen the way these two fawn over each other? It’s nauseating. I mean, it’s like, come on, get a room. It’s a big crass considering they’re brothers. I didn’t mean it literally, they’re not related by blood.

By the way, let’s not forget that Tony’s the gardener son, not to mention he’s hooked up with one of his siblings. You mean Renee? Actually, I was talking about Kristen, you and Tony. Relax it, uh, was more or less an arranged marriage set up by father, and the man that I married turned out to be Andre. Kevin, eventually you did marry Tony when you were pretending to be Nicole, and as I recall, you use that marriage of convenience to seize control at Dera.

But that’s fine. That’s forgiven and forgotten. Well, obviously not forgotten. However, we would love to work with you two very impressive sisters to ensure our family and the company’s very bright future. But to do that, we need to have Stephan solely in charge of Dara because, because he is more in tune with the.

Today’s modern world in either one of his brothers, so trust us. If you want Damara to thrive for decades to come, you need to back my brilliant fiance

out with you two. What is it that I have a right to know? Well, Anna thought that my speech before was somewhat impolitic in that I seem to be stirring the flames of your rivalry with Stephan. Oh, come now. That ship was sailed. He’s had his sight set on ousting me from the moment he returned to the land of the living.

My lover of was what I was trying to argue and that it was important that. I was proud to say that I am firmly in your corner and I sincerely appreciate that Tony and this family full of liars and vultures. It’s good to know that you’ve always hurt my back.

I am all for whatever is best for the company, but I do have to ask, what is it that you two can do for me? First off, we’ll welcome you back into this family where you belong with open arms. Make you feel at home. You’re not gonna get that from me, Jay. Believe me, he’s only looking out for himself. He won’t sacrifice a damn thing for you, not the way that Stephanie and I will.

Oh, that is simply not true. Gabby, I’m sure Megan sees through your malicious spin on my relationship with my family and this company. Furthermore, I’m sure she knows that I am more than happy to do whatever it takes to make our beloved sister feel welcomed and valued. In fact, Megan, in regard to the former, I’m willing to turn over my master suite to you after being locked up in Statesville.

I think you deserve the largest room in the house, which also boasts the best of you.

I was locked up in Stayville too, you know? Ah, yes. But Megan has seen your. Otherwise, I would’ve of course offered you the room, Krista. Mm-hmm. Of course, of course. Don’t sweat at Elvis. I wouldn’t accept your offer anyway. Not after you stabbed me in the back.

I just hated lying to eat. J just now. Oh darling, that’s because you are a kind and decent man, which is what I love about you. But darling, despite your bleeding heart, we do have to be. Careful and just keep this between us. I mean, it means that we have to be very careful and not chat about this, you know, unless we know we’re all alone and no one else is around.

I mean, if someone overheard us talking about Nicole’s pregnancy, like EJ almost did Anna, what the hell?

Hey, I am so sorry about everything Leo just said. He’s just trying to stir up drama as usual, but you know, nothing’s changed. All right, snow and I are just friends, not Johnny. You don’t have to keep telling me. Okay. I totally believe you. Good. And I know Leo was wrong about the two of you, but. He wasn’t exactly wrong about me and Tripp.

I know that. And Johnny, if it’s ever too weird or uncomfortable, I’ll understand you. Kidding me. Afraid of a little competition. No,

I’m not giving up on you without a fight.

I was wondering when we were going to get to all the demerit trauma that I’ve so sorely missed. So tell me, Kristen, how did EJ stab you in the back? Can we not go to that please? He and I were once very, very close. For God’s sake, what’s the point? I helped save his life when he was shot, and I put mine on hold as I supervised his rehabilitation.

And then a few years later when I had legal trouble, he refused to represent me for good reason. Well, whatever the reason, it doesn’t sound very brotherly. As C E O I, regrettably had to distance myself from Kristen. It was what was best for business at the time. Sadly, he shunned me again, even more hurtful.

Hey, uh, He barred me from attending the funeral of my dear friend Susan, a dear friend who happened to be my mother, whom you tortured Musclely much like you’re torturing me now. You know, I must concur. EJ does have a knack for back stabbing, especially when it comes to his siblings. And I’m not just talking about Christian here.

I’m talking about me, Chad. Ah forbid he’s saying it. And how can you be sure he won’t do the same thing to you? Just saying, and I’m just saying the bottom line, E j’s loyalty to this family is pretty much non-existent. So he might wanna think twice about taking his so-called offer

and Nicole. I, I, I didn’t, I didn’t mean to tell Tony it, it was an accident, I swear. And EJ almost overheard. Was that an accident too? Yes. That EJ is still in the dark and Tony managed to cover, so we’re all good. You know, Nicole, I still don’t feel good about this. I think my brother has the right to know if you might be carrying his child.

Look, um, I’m doing a paternity test in a few days, and as soon as I find out who the father is, I will deliver the news. But until then, I, I need you to keep this under wraps. Can you do that, please? Of course, of course. I promise. We promise, right, Tony? Fine. Thank you. Well, while I have you here, maybe you could help me speed things up, gimme some advice.

Of course. So for the paternity test, I need to swab e j’s cheek without him knowing and, and it would be easiest if he was sleeping, but he is such a light sleeper. I, I don’t, oh. No worries. I have the perfect solution.

Give him one of these. What’s this? It is a sleeping pill. Whenever I have insomnia, I just popped one. It’ll knock EJ right out and he will sleep deeply for hours and hours. Believe me.

Hey there. Hey there to you. What are you doing? Well, I saw all these towels in the dryer, so I thought I’d fold them. Oh, how very domestic. Yeah. Well, I know you got a lot going on. Hmm. So I just wanted to see what I could do to help. Thanks. I appreciate that. By the way, what are you doing home? I thought you were gonna be with your brother for a while.

Oh yeah. Well, the hospital, they canceled the visiting hours until tomorrow because of the virus? Yeah, I guess they just wanted to be safe. Yeah. And um, Eric, thank you for being so understanding about all of this, especially considering you probably think my brother is a monster and I don’t blame you one bit, but I can’t turn my back on him.

I mean, he’s in some serious trouble and Well, I should probably let you know that, um, I agree to defend him in court. I know I overheard you telling him yesterday and you’re okay with it. Well, I’m appalled by what he did, but I know you are too. My sister Sammy, she’s done a lot of terrible things over the years and I too struggled to defend her, but I stood by her to the best that I could and I admire and wanting to do the same for him.

I mean so much. Hmm. With everything going on, I really, I couldn’t stand with Lucy. You won’t. I’m here. I’m here for you. I’m not going anywhere. You know that. Right.

You know, as much as I hate to admit it, Leo was right about one thing, one time. Well, when he called me an out of work diante, I wanted to kick him in the, you know what? But he did have a point. Ah, I need to hurry up and jumpstart my film career. Okay. Well, you sound like you have a lot of family drama to mind from.

Maybe you could do a documentary about them. Not a bad idea, although. It didn’t go very well the last time I tried to tell my family’s story, so maybe I could tell yours. Mine. Mm-hmm. Thought that would be very interesting. Kidding me. Let me tell you about Wendy Shin. Bright and ambitious. Her sexist family relegates her to the wilds of Alaska, sorely underestimating our Wiley heroin.

She comes to Salem guns blazing, demanding a seat at the table. She also finds herself investigating a plot involving a mad evil scientist risking her own life. To uncover the truth along the way. She falls in love with a dashing and super hot filmmaker. Oh, super hot. Well, that’s lady whistleblowers, or it’s not mine.

Hmm. Wendy briefly finds herself torn between two guys. Before realizing that there is only one man for her. Really? Mm-hmm. And which guy was that? Well, you have to buy a ticket to find out.

Megan, I assure you that I am offering you my room as a sincere gesture of goodwill and not asking for anything in. Accept to vote my shares in your favor. Well, in that regard, I’m no different to Stephan than am I. Well, in order to avoid choosing sides of this early juncture, I think I’ll choose a different bedroom.

I’m sure there are plenty to choose from in this house. Oh, definitely Megan. I would take a look at the east wing. The sunlight in the morning is breathtaking. You know what? Come on sis. We’re gonna take a look at all the wings and uh, we’ll find a place to crash. So this will gimme a chance to give you a tour of the family homestead.

Hello? Hello there, Nicole. Kristen, you’re out of prison again? Yes. My resourceful sister got me immunity sister. Mm-hmm. Oh, Megan, this is ejs on again, off again, girlfriend Nicole Walker. Pleasure to meet you. Oh, likewise. Well yeah, stay in chat. We need to find our. Bedrooms, or should I say suites? Oh my God.

You’re gonna be living here. Of course we’re damira is darling. Where else would we live? Well, I’ll be into, mm-hmm.

I am impressed with you Eric. Grading. Yeah, because I’m folding your towels. No, because you could have cut and run. A long time ago when the whole tile thought that I was a stalker. You stood by me. You defended me to, and Abe, your sister fell. I can’t tell you how much that means to me.

You know what? Don’t gimme too much credit. I’ve had my own share of doubts as you know, but ultimately I got another person that you were, you are, and I know you aren’t capable of committing the crimes that your brother did. God, I still cannot believe he terrorized Paul and Chanel. Tried to kill them. I mean, I was angry too, but my God, I just wish I knew how broken he was, how troubled he was.

I mean, he was good at hiding things, obviously. No, still I should have been there for him, but instead I moved here to Salem to ex exact, my own revenge. Setting a bad example for him. I mean, even though I’m gonna fight like hell for him, the truth is that Colin’s probably going away to prison for a long, long time.

With both my parents gone.

You won’t be alone. Hey, you have me.

The funny thing is that for so long I was so scared of opening up my heart to anybody, letting anybody in. I’m so glad I.

I’m glad you did too.

Yeah. I love you. It’s out. Yeah. Don’t feel obligated to say it back. Don’t.

Truth is

I.

Let me guess. This is about the Sanderson sisters. I just ran into them downstairs. The Sanderson sisters, the witches from Hocus Pocus. Oh, ugh. Why are you letting those two nightmares move in here? For the simple reason that Kristin is a shareholder and soon Megan will be too. I see. And you need their votes to maintain power.

Right. And so far I am doing a miserable job getting them on my side. Dammit. I feel like my head is about to explode. I can imagine.

Oh, so do you think you’ll be able to sleep? Oh, I don’t think so. I’m too wound up. Well, in that case, um, Maybe Ha, you could, you could try one of these. What’s that? It, it’s just a sleeping pill. I don’t normally take them, just, you know, when I’m feeling anxiety or when my head is gonna explode and it’s not addictive.

It’s a mild. Instead it did to just help you sleep well through the night, and then you can wake up and you can form a plan of attack with a clear head,

fine. Sure. Sounds like a plan.

In spite of that jerk Leo turning up. I have a really nice time tonight. No, just doesn mean I’m winning. Okay. I wish you wouldn’t put it like that. I mean, it’s not a contest, it’s just me being conflicted. Then indecisive, which I do tend to be by nature or wish I weren’t, but hey, it’s okay. However indecisive you might be.

I think you’re great. And though we are not calling it a contest, Since it’s a choice that you have to make, hopefully this will, I dunno. Hope you decide.

That’ll definitely go in your column. That’s what I was hoping.

Good night.

You think we should go back downstairs? Keep working. Your sisters. Ah. Now let’s quit while we’re ahead. Best not to overplay our hand. You’re right. I mean, good thing we’ve stopped EJ from, uh, making any inroads, Megan. Hmm. And for now, Christian seems to be on our side. Yeah. Well if we keep that up, then we’ll have enough folks to ask your brother, and then we’re gonna be in control, baby.

Mm-hmm. You know, I never would’ve guessed my sister’s getting out of prison would’ve been such a major win for us. An answer to our prayers.

It’s very satisfying that our brothers are working overtime to win our allegiance A bit demeaning. If one had thin skin, how do you mean? Well, it is obviously chauvinistic of them to assume that our only option. Is for one of them to run the company. Hmm. You’re right. Huh? How the boys had their turn at the top.

Perhaps it’s time for the girls to take charge. You catch on fast? Yes. Let’s hear it for the girls.

I’m not one to take sleeping pills, but as I said, I’m so worked up right now. But you need to sleep, AJ, and honestly, it’s just one pill. It’s not gonna hurt you. Right. One second. Ah, damn. It’s where Shin at this hour. Hello, Mr. Shim. What I thought you said it was a done deal.

Of course. No, no. I, I understand. I’ll take care of it.

A potential investor is getting cold feet and need to take the jet to Chicago, talk ’em off the ledge. What you don’t mean tonight, I do. It’s too important to let it wait, especially with Steph and nipping on my heels. Look at every and any opportunity to gain the upper hand. So unfortunately, I need to depart.

I’ll see you tomorrow. Okay. Well, good luck.

Hello, it’s me. How are things going with ej? Total Bus. He just left for an urgent business trip, so obviously I won’t be able to get a sample from him. It’s all up to you now. Well, actually that’s why I’m calling Mission accomplished. I’ve got Eric’s sample in my hot little hands. Oh, thank God.

I’ll be in touch. Okay,

well, it won’t be long now. Now, soon we’ll know whether your daddy is ej. Oh, Eric.

[ Relaxing music ]

Deacon: Oh, hey, victoria. Uh, don’t forget to tell him about the cherry scones. Look at this. I can’t believe it. Two beautiful, exquisite women in my humble establishment again. To be so lucky.

Brooke: Always the charmer.

Taylor: Yes, he is.

Deacon: Look, I’ve said it before, I just cannot get over the two of you calling a truce after all these years. It’S…

Brooke: Well, it’s more than a truce. It’s like A… it’s a friendship. One that we value and will continue to put first.

Deacon: Much to good old ridge’s dismay, I’m sure.

Brooke: Hm.

Taylor: Brooke and I have

sworn off of ridge.

She might be into trying

an old favorite again.

Could be really great

for both of you.

Eric: So, it’s rome, huh?

Ridge: Uh-huh. Got a few things to figure out, but looks like it’s a go.

Steffy: Hope for the future is already doing so well, but with rome as a backdrop, it’s gonna be chef’s kiss. It’ll be great. Hope for the future, it’s great. You know, with the designs–

Eric: It’s going to be wonderful, you’re right.

Rj: Hey. So, what’s this I hear? Is, uh, hope’s line is actually going to go to rome?

Steffy: Going to the most beautiful place on earth. Yes.

Rj: Well, I mean, I love rome obviously, but…

Ridge: But what?

Rj: If hope and thomas are going together, how’s liam gonna feel about that?

Steffy: Thomas isn’t the

problem. I’m sorry, liam.

I don’t want to hurt you,

but I think your wife has

feelings for thomas.

Liam: Hi.

Hope: Hey, you’re still home.

Liam: Yeah, I’m, um, just answering a few emails before I head in. How was drop off?

Hope: Well, uh, first in line three days in a row.

Liam: That’s a new record. Good.

Hope: Are we… good? Liam, you know I love you more than anything else.

Hope: Okay, I just, um… I want to be sure that we’re on the same page before we go to work.

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: Thomas and I, we strictly have a professional relationship and I understand that we’ve been working a lot of long hours, but–

Liam: Hope, I know.

Hope: Our focus is on saving the line. Liam… our life, our marriage, our family, it means everything to me and I– I would never want to risk that. So, steffy can say what she wants to say and she saw what she saw, but she’s wrong.

Ridge: That’s a valid point, son, but I do feel that everything is going to be worked out between thomas and hope before we leave for italy.

Rj: You really think that liam’s just gonna be chill with it by then?

Eric: He’s always been supportive of hope before. I don’t see why this would be any different.

Rj: Come on, steffy. You agree with this?

Steffy: Yeah, I do agree. I think it’s an amazing opportunity. Hope for the future was on its way out and then thomas came in and started–

Rj: Yeah, I know, thomas. Thomas to the rescue.

Ridge: Hey, don’t do that. He did come to the rescue. He turned this thing around. He’s talented, just like you, just like you, and I’m glad you’re here. We’re all together again. And I know I said there wasn’t gonna be any family drama, and I– I do think that. I think we’re at the end of it.

Rj: That go for you, too? How’s the whole situation with, you know, you and mom and taylor going?

Deacon: So, that’s how I see initially scaling it. I mean, what do you– what do you guys think? Is it too ambitious?

Brooke: No! No, that’s exciting!

Taylor: Yeah, it really is. It is. It– it’s, um, it’s a roadmap to the future, a very successful future. One that you and– and everyone you know can be proud of.

Deacon: I mean, you know, as a businessman, you have to have goals, right? I don’t wanna get ahead of myself, but I wanna, you know, increase the visibility of the brand and maybe, I don’t know, strategically open up a couple of new restaurants. And I’m going full in on the frozen pizza.

Brooke: Oh.

Deacon: It’s very exciting.

Brooke: That is, that’s very impressive.

Taylor: Yeah, it really is. Especially when you think about how– how you got here. You know, you– you saw something you wanted and you put your heart into it, and then look at this place! It’s a huge success. You’ve really come a long way, deacon, don’t you think, brooke?

Brooke: Yes, of course. Absolutely. And now please welcome ana montoya.

Hope: Steffy misinterpreted what she saw and as your wife, I would hope that you would listen to me and take my word for it instead of your ex-wife’S.

Liam: The last thing I want to believe is that you have feelings for thomas.

Hope: Well, then don’t believe it. Don’t, liam, because it’s not… it’s not true. I swear.

Liam: Yeah. Um, all right. I’m, uh, I’m gonna head to the office because I’m kind of late as it is.

Hope: Um, yeah. I mean, I– I need to get going to forrester as well, so.

Liam: Okay. All right.

Hope: I love you.

Liam: Yeah, me too.

Ridge: Why does it feel like I’m on the hot seat once again?

Rj: Oh, we’re sorry. You know, we really don’t mean to make you feel that way.

Steffy: No, not at all. We just want to know what your intentions are where our mothers are concerned.

Ridge: What my– what my intentions are?

Rj: Yeah. I just wanna know where, you know, things stand between you and my mom.

Steffy: And mine.

Eric: Well, I think the two of them have made their intentions very, very clear.

Ridge: Yes, they have.

Eric: Yes, they have, but it’s also very clear to me that those two are the loves of your life. You share children and grandchildren with them.

Ridge: I know that. I know that, but part of history is the choice that they made. They put their friendship first.

Rj: Their friendship, but that doesn’t mean that mom doesn’t still love you.

Ridge: And that’s nice and I realize that.

Steffy: Well, that must mean you also realize that mom still loves you, too.

Ridge: I am aware of that also. Yes.

Eric: Look, we all admire and respect what the two of them are doing, but I have to say–

Rj: But how much longer before one of them is sharing their life with you?

Taylor: You know what’s really, really cool about this whole thing is that you have become one of L.A.’S most eligible bachelors.

Brooke: Ooh.

Taylor: Yes!

Deacon: Uh, according to who?

Taylor: According to everyone.

Deacon: Ah.

Taylor: Yeah. Just don’t be modest.

Deacon: Deacon sharpe, modest? That’d be a first.

Taylor: You know what I mean.

Deacon: Oh, I do.

Taylor: Glad you do. I’m– I’m sure brooke would agree.

Brooke: Hm? Oh, yes, of course. I mean, deacon knows that I want nothing but the best for him. I gotta go back to work. Sorry, but this was wonderful. Thank you for suggesting it and we’re gonna do it again soon, right? Oh, here, let me give you some–

Taylor: Stop. I got it.

Brooke: Okay. Thanks. Bye.

Taylor: We’ll talk later.

Brooke: Bye.

Deacon: Uh, laying it on kind of thick there, weren’t you?

Taylor: Was I?

Deacon: L.A.’S most eligible bachelor?

Taylor: Well, you are. You really are and it doesn’t hurt to remind brooke.

Steffy: We’re excited too. Rome’s the perfect location for what we have in mind. All right, I’ll keep you posted. Ciao.

[ Door slamming ]

Hope: You just had to do it, didn’t you? You just had to interfere in my marriage. Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Rj: Hey, dad, look at this. Check it out.

Ridge: What am I looking at?

Rj: It’s– it’s a video I posted yesterday and it blew up overnight.

Ridge: It blew up and that’s a good thing?

Rj: Well, yeah! I mean, I– I got a ton of followers from it. Come on, it’s pretty awesome, right?

Ridge: I’m sure it’s awesome.

Rj: Yeah, it’s not as awesome as if I were designing here at forrester, right?

Ridge: Hey, don’t do that. I told you I’d love for you to work here with me. I think it’d be great, but the most important thing is for you to be happy, and if that means blowing things up on the world wide web, then do that. Come here.

Rj: Thanks.

Brooke: Aw. I love walking in and seeing two of my most favorite men in the world.

Ridge: I thought you were gonna be here earlier.

Brooke: Yeah, I, uh, lost track of time. I was catching up with taylor.

Deacon: Laying it on a little thick there, weren’t you?

Taylor: Hm? What do you mean?

Deacon: What do you mean, what do I mean? Come on. It wasn’t that long ago that you were urging me to take a shot with brooke and obviously, you haven’t gotten over that idea.

Taylor: Right. Right. I just– I just happened to think that it was a good opportunity. You know, now that brooke’s sworn off ridge, right? This could be your opportunity, deacon.

Deacon: What if I told you that I didn’t want another chance with brooke?

Taylor: Oh, well, I would say you are a big fat liar ’cause brooke has always been the one for you.

Deacon: Just like ridge has always been the one for you. What– what’s going on with you?

Taylor: No, no, no, no, no, no, we are not– we are not talking about ridge and me. We’re talking about you and brooke.

Deacon: Which has me wondering.

Taylor: What does it have you wondering?

Deacon: It has me wondering if you’re using me so that you can reunite with forrester.

Steffy: So, if you have

any concerns about hope

and thomas, if you have

any suspicions, it’s not

because of thomas.

I think it’s hope.

Steffy: Obviously, liam spoke to you about what I said.

Hope: About your ridiculous suspicions. Yes, he did. I mean, how dare you, steffy? How dare you go out of your way to tell my husband that I have feelings for thomas. I mean, it’s pathetic.

Steffy: Is it, though?

Hope: Yes. What you thought you saw in this office couldn’t have been further from the truth. I wasn’t coming on to thomas. I told you we got caught up in that moment and– and yet, you insist on believing otherwise. It’s almost like you’re trying to undermine my marriage.

Steffy: Of course not. Though I have to wonder… are you?

Hope: How could you even ask me that? You of all people should know how much liam means to me.

Steffy: And you should know how much thomas means to me. So, are you lying? Are you attracted to thomas? If you think you, a child in your care,

Brooke: Oh, I– I realize I keep saying this, but I am so excited to have our wonderful talented son back here in los angeles.

Rj: Oh, mom.

Brooke: Well, it’s true. And when did you grow up and become an adult and carve this amazing career out for yourself? Oh, I love you so much.

Rj: I love you too, mom.

Ridge: See, that’s what it’s all about, right? Us being back together. Everything’s fine now that you’re home. Come here.

Brooke: It’s true.

Taylor: Do I want ridge back?

Deacon: That’s the question.

Taylor: I mean, I will always love ridge. You know, our love story was hijacked all those years ago and I–

Deacon: And that’s something that you still blame brooke for. Look, I get it. You guys have your little gal pal pact and everything’s supposed to be forgotten from the past, but my question to you, taylor, is, can it be? Really? I mean, if ridge is still in both your lives?

Taylor: Look, ridge is always gonna be in both our lives. We– we both have families with him and you are right, ridge has been in brooke’s orbit longer than mine.

Deacon: And now with rj back, I mean, that just reaffirms that brooke and ridge, they’re family.

[ Phone ringing ] Sorry. [Indistinct] Hello.

Guard: Deacon sharpe, please

Deacon: Yeah, you got him. Who’s this?

Guard: I’m with the lundberg

correctional facility.

We have a collect call

for you from inmate

sheila carter. Will you

accept the charges?

Deacon: Yeah, I’m sorry, I’m not going to be able to talk right now. What?

Taylor: I don’t know, that call.

Deacon: What about it?

Taylor: I don’t know. You seem a little flustered. It sounded mysterious.

Deacon: You know–

Taylor: Is that someone that you’re dating?

Deacon: You–

Taylor: Is that someone that you’re dating? Is that–

Deacon: You need to stop and be careful because your– your matchmaking is becoming very obvious. Let’s get back to you now. So, um, what happened to this, this gal pal pact the two of you had? Oh, no, there’s trouble in paradise, isn’t there?

Taylor: You’ve kept how

you feel about thomas from me

because, brooke, I–

I thought that we had a–

a– a real friendship.

Brooke: We do.

Taylor: Is there anything

else I deserve to know?

Anything happen with ridge? I am– I am– I’m not trusting our pact so much right now. Um, long story short, um, she doesn’t– she doesn’t trust thomas. She’s not being honest. So, our pact was about honesty and transparency across the board, especially when it comes to ridge and I… I think I’m just, I’m– I’m trying to do what’s right for everyone. Especially you, deacon.

Deacon: And yourself.

Hope: The answer is no,

liam. I love you.

My commitment is to you.

Our relationship is nothing

but professional.

My heart

is here with you, always.

Hope: This is my life you’re messing with. My marriage, my family. Yes, I care about your brother. I care about thomas. I am so grateful that he’s become a good father to douglas. I am grateful that he’s working on the line, but there is nothing more than that.

Steffy: But if you’re totally honest with yourself–

Hope: Can you just stop for a second, please, and listen to me? Liam knows how much I love him. I told him that he is the only man for me. He’s the only man that I want to spend the rest of my life with. And thomas? I’m not interested in him. I never have been interested in him. I never will be interested in him. Liam and I have been through too much. We have faced our fair share of challenges, and some of those were because of you, by the way.

[ Steffy scoffing ] So, we deserve to be happy. So, could you maybe try to not ruin that for once? Keep your comments to yourself. Stay out of my marriage.
