THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

, Guinevere, tell me you’ve come to your census. If you mean, am I going to be Trey Zer by cooperating with the Salem pd, my answer is still no. I will not help send him to prison. Better him than us. Look, I know how much you care about that big, sexy Scottish lug, but you know my motto. Always look out for number one.

You sure as hell abide by that? Don’t you

sound asleep. Finally. Poor little guy. He’s so rounded. I think that’s because he senses that you are and it affects him.

Ali, I’m sorry for everything you’re going through. I keep looking at pictures of them. Grandma Kate holding Henry when he was a little baby and I have this selfie of me and Kayla and she’s just smiling her beautiful smile, . I just can’t believe that they’re gone, you know? And now I have to worry about my grandma, Marlena.

I can’t lose her. I can’t lose her too. I just can’t found me. I wish I could take the pain away.

I’m sorry. Just having you by my side. I’m so grateful always, but especially now, I’m so grateful.

Chad, Stephanie shouldn’t blame herself for not being there when Kayla died. It wasn’t her fault. I tried telling her that, but she won’t stop beating herself up for turning off her phone about that. Um, she didn’t. What do you mean she didn’t, Stephanie wasn’t the one who turned off her phone.

Tell me the truth. Are you the reason I didn’t get to say goodbye to my mother,

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

Uh, yes. Thank you so much for the time and consideration and I look forward to speaking with you soon. Bye-bye.

Matt, you are getting weird by the minute, Wilhelmina, you’re back. I thought you had returned to the land of direct to streaming movie making and I thought Sunny would’ve seen through your Reform Griffin Act. No. Guests we’re both wrong. I hope you’re not upset with Sonny for letting me crash here a little while longer upset.

I mean, just because I can’t stand the side of you. And I think Sonny’s being incredibly naive to give you the benefit of the doubt, much less a place to stay. Or maybe he’s just a big hearted, generous and forgiving person who is helping a friend in need. You don’t have to explain my husband’s motivations to me.

I know he is a good guy. Unfortunately, that also makes him an easy target for people like you. You know, um, guys who always look out for number one. Oh, that I was finishing up a job interview when you walked in. The employee’s HR rep is. Recruiting for a position on a rather aggressive sales team, and I wanted to be sure I had the killer instinct, a job interview.

You really expect me to believe that that’s what it was. Hmm. Well, I don’t have time for this. I just came by to drop off my luggage. If you see Sunny, please tell ’em I’m at the hospital visiting my grandmother. Oh. I’ll be sure to give him the message verbatim.

I think you would be nice. You rude little queen.

You can’t give up hope. Now your grandmother is strong and brave and she’s battled Satan twice and lived to tell the toe Grandma, Caton and Kayla, they were strong and brave too, and now they’re gone. I have to go to the hospital. Okay. I need to see my grandma Marlena. Okay, then go. Well, I, I have to stay here and watch Little Henry, but I wish I could go with you.

Thank you. I love you.

Call me if there’s any change. I will.

Did you forget your key? Hello? But you forgot to ask. He was at the door.

I don’t get it. How can you be so sure that Stephanie didn’t turn off her own phone? Just trust me on this all sunny. You’re supposed to be best friends. What are you not telling me?

Okay, fine. I’m, I’m sure Stephanie didn’t turn off her phone.

My brother did.

Chad called me multiple times. He left messages about my mom being gravely ill that I didn’t get, and I don’t remember turning my phone off. So the only possible explanation is that you did. So I’ll ask you. Alex, the night my mother died. Did you turn off my phone?

Yes, Steph, I did.

Oh, will. Oh my God. Will. Hi. I’m so happy that you’re here. When did you get in? Um, playing planning about an hour ago. Have you talked to mom? Yeah. Um, she says she’s doing everything she possibly can to get here. Okay, good. Any update on Grandma Marlene’s condition? Um, The doctors are doing everything they can, but it’s not looking great.

Um, well I want to see her. Yeah, me too. But, um, grandpa John and Uncle Eric are in there right now and then, and, um, they’re restricting our visitors, so we’re gonna have to wait out here. Just wait out here and pray. Yeah.

I’m really glad that you’re here. Now we can wait and pray together.

I am sorry. I had to hang up so abruptly before Will Forton showed up for a surprise visit to drop off his luggage and treat me like dirt. He didn’t overhear your conversation, did he? Well part of it, Matt, no girl, relax. He only overheard the part where I told you that my motto is to look out for numero uno.

But I convinced him the call was a job interview. Covered my tracks. Very cleverly as always. As always as some of the time, yes. Well, I should bloody well, hope so. Oh, I know. So no way that nosy aging twink will find out I had anything to do with Xander’s coverup. Yes. Because if he did, I know, I know. He would go running to Sunny so fast, I would lose the only true friend I’ve ever.

Did you actually just say that aside from you, my darling, gw, aside from you,

I don’t get it. Why would Alex turn off Stephanie’s phone? I guess he didn’t want to be interrupted. I see. So your brother admitted to you that he turned off Stephanie’s phone without her knowledge because he didn’t want someone to interrupt their alone time. Not, not someone.

I think you better explain yourself and fast. It happened when he went to the bathroom to change. The phone started ringing. I looked the screen and it was Chad calling again. And so instead of telling me that he called you, decided to turn off my phone. Steph, I didn’t know why he was calling. Why does it matter, Alex?

It was none of your damn business. I know that and that’s why I’m so sorry. Yeah. Well, sorry. Doesn’t cut it. How dare you police my phone calls Steph. I only did it because. We had been wanting to be alone for a long time and we had a beautiful, fun night, and then Chad starts calling and I figured that it was probably about work again, or the kids and the, the guy just interrupted us at Christmas time and I figured, you know what?

No matter what this call is right now, I assumed incorrectly that it would be okay for it to wait this time. That wasn’t your decision to make. But because you had the audacity, the gall, to make it. Anyway, I didn’t find out my mom was dying until it was too late to say goodbye to her. You robbed me of that, and I will never forgive you for it.

Oh hell. Look, this is a bad time. Okay. I’m dealing with a family crisis right now. You mean like the crisis that you put my family in when you seduced my father and killed my mother? Okay. I realize that it is pointless for me to keep trying to explain this to you, but your mother’s death was an accident.

I feel horrible for what happened to her and to your father and to you for that matter. Yeah. You’re. It is pointless to, uh, keep telling me that, look, Sloan, the courts in the UK declined to pursue extradition or press charges. So don’t you think it’s time that we both get on with our lives? It really is that easy for you, isn’t it?

You can just destroy my family’s life and go right back into baking those overpriced pastries and making out with your little girlfriend. Well, that’s over. So I hope you enjoyed it while it lasted. See, I made a promise to make you pay for what you did to my family, and I’m gonna do exactly that.

So, how was the flight? Um, I mean, terrible. I, I couldn’t sleep or eat cause I was worried I wouldn’t get here. Yeah, well you did. Thank God Grandma Melina’s hanging on. But where’s Sunny? I don’t know. Actually he wasn’t in the house. Um, but. Unfortunately, his house guest from Hell was there to grieve me. Why don’t we get back to what we were discussing before, will Debe so rudely interrupted us?

Ah Mattie, if you have come over here yet again to try to convince me to Rat Alexander, you have wasted a trip. But QUni, the cops already know you helped him by coming up with that fake company he claimed to be working for. Yes, but they don’t have a shred of proof linking me to any crimes. Not yet. But they will not stop digging until they find something that leads them right to.

Oh, I see what this is. Okay. You are not worried about me going down for helping Zander. You are just trying to save your own hide. Sweetie. I don’t want either of our gorgeous hides being skinned alive for the likes of Zander Cook. He kidnapped those two women, not us. We don’t know that the police can prove any of it, do we?

Um, hello? They already know that his accomplice was wearing a muscled up bodysuit one that fits me perfectly. Once they figure that out, my goose is cooked. No, I’m sorry, Massie. I just, I can’t tie my back on Zand. So then you are prepared for your father to turn his back on you. That won’t happen. I contrary, GU, when Jack finds out that you help Xander, he will disown you maybe permanently.

This time

you have worked so hard to regain his trust. You’re living in his wife’s house, you’re working for their newspaper. All of that goes away. If Jack and Jennifer find out that you weren’t accomplice to that Scottish scoundrel with the bo that won’t quit, who lacks an ounce of moral fiber, unlike you, you mean?

Um, my body is pretty Okay. Thank you very much. I’m talking about moral fiber. Okay, fine. I will not throw stones at poor Xander unless you think me a hypocrite. But I urge you, will you at least agree to, to, to meeting with a lawyer so we can figure out what our options. Fine. Do you have anyone specific in mind?

As a matter of fact, I do. Wait, wait. No. So stop. Please stop. Please relax. What did you think? I had a weapon. I’m not the one here with homicidal tendencies. Normally I’d have a process server deliver this, but I just couldn’t help. I wanted the satisfaction of seeing the look on your face.

You’re suing me for wrongful death. And naming Paulina Price, aka your mom as the co-defendant for her role in helping you cover up the crime of my mother’s murder. Your mother’s death was an accident. Do you know how tired I am appearing? You say that, just, just lie. You keep repeating over and over again making it sound like you are the victim here.

I may not see my day in criminal court, but I can still make you bitches pay and when I, when I’m done with this civil court. How you can bet your money that the only thing left of Paulina price’s fortune will be the crumbs from that pathetic little bakery of yours.

So Alex turned off Stephanie’s phone because he was afraid I was going to interrupt their romantic evening together. Yes. And it was not a cool thing of him to do. And, and in fact it was. selfish thing to do, but he had no idea. You were calling about Kayla. Yeah. But so your brother can’t handle my friendship with Stephanie, so she doesn’t get to see her mom before she died.

Yeah. And he feels terrible about, he should feel terrible about it. She’s been torturing herself because she didn’t get to say goodbye to her mother before she died if she’s in agony, because she could have been there and she wasn’t. Chad, like I said, because your brother was afraid I was gonna interrupt his.

Conquest. He didn’t know what you were calling about. I don’t care. It wasn’t his place to turn off her phone and now I have to be the one to break her heart. Chad, you don’t have to do that. Why? Gimme one reason not to, because Alex is already telling Stephanie himself. Steph, instead of I had any idea why Chad was calling.

It doesn’t matter why he was calling. You had no right to turn off my phone. I know that. I know that, and I, I just, I just, I wanted to be alone with you. Yeah. Well, you got your wish. So instead of being with my mother while she was dying, instead of being able to tell her that I loved her. You and I were having sex.

Do you have any idea how disgusted that makes me feel?

Yeah, I do and I get why it would, and that is why I would do anything to go back in time and change what I did, Steph, but you can’t.

And now my mother is gone.

And so are any feelings that I had for you. I never wanna see you again.

Leo Stark living under the same roof as your husband, , he owns. God, that must be driving you crazy. Yeah. You have no idea. He’s like a, he’s, he’s a parasite that leeched onto Sunny’s goodwill. Mm-hmm. , you actually convinced him that he’s a, he’s a changed person. I take it. You don’t believe that? No, not for a second.

People like Leo don’t change. They just become more adept at being devious and figuring out ways to prey on their victims. Unfortunately, I think you’re right and I’m surprised Sonny of all people wants anything to do with him after what he put the both of you. Me too, but a, a again, it, that’s in his nature.

You know, he prides himself on being forgiving and, and giving people second chances. Mm-hmm. , well, I guess you have to admire him for that, right? That he sees the good in everyone. Uh, I mean, I, I would normally, um, if the person in question was worthy of forgiveness of second chances, but I mean, at this point it’s just gullible.

There is no good in. He does not deserve Sonny’s forgiveness, and he sure as hell doesn’t deserve his friendship.

Let me guess, you had to convince your brother to, uh, to come clean. I may have. Strongly suggested it. Sure. But, but then he, he agreed. Wow. Very big of him. He’s not a bad guy, Chad. He messed up and he wants to make amends. You know, the, uh, you know the expression, timing is everything. Your brother should have grown a conscience before he took it upon himself to shut off her phone without her knowledge, because of his own selfish reasons before he robbed Stephanie of being able to say goodbye to her dying mother.

Why are you still here? I said, I never wanted to see you again.

Steph. Come on. You don’t, you don’t mean that. Don’t tell me what I mean. See, this has been the problem with you from day one. You only hear what you want to, Alex. It’s not true. Steph, what you talking about? I, I’m coming here admitting to you that I made a mistake. No, no, no. You don’t get to trivialize this to make it sound like it was some innocent mistake.

You purposely turned off my phone because you’re envious of my friendship with Chad. Your pathetic insecurities are the reason why I couldn’t be with my mother when she needed me the most,

and you know, the worst part, if I hadn’t figured it. You are never even going to tell me. Who are you?

There she is. Salem’s Top Legal Eagle, Sloan, Peterson, Esquire. Save it Stark. I had a good mind to not show up here when you called, considering you don’t like to pay your legal bills in a timely manner. Oh, please. You got your money and then some and then. Really? Do you not recall that? When I opened that safe in Paulina Price’s office, you stole that file with dirt on my ex-boss and her daughter.

Correction. I stole it back, which you wouldn’t have had an opportunity to do if it weren’t for me, so you’re welcome. Well, since the file was mine in the first place, the only thing I’m gonna thank you for as being careless enough to not catch me in the. and speaking of damaging information on the disgraced almost governor and her homicidal child, I still don’t understand why Ms.

Recheck here wouldn’t publish it in her daddy’s dying newspaper. I had my reasons. Oh, don’t you know, you missed out in the scoop of the decade. Oh. As I’ve been led to believe any charges here and abroad against Paul enter price and Chanel du Priya not being pursued. So that means that your scoop of a decade is just a nothing burger wrong, just because they managed skirt justice doesn’t make their innocent.

Anyway, I’m growing bored of this conversation. Why am I here? Star, we need legal advice, but before we talk, we need to make sure that this is going to remain strictly confidential. Another crime, Ms. Risk check wants to sweep under the rug. Why am I not surprised? Do we have attorney client privilege or not?

That kind of confidentiality is gonna require a, uh, retainer right now. No deferments. What are you waiting for? Gwenny? The woman,

mama. Oh, thank God you’re here. Well, I rush right over as soon as I got your message. Chanel baby. What? What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Is it Marlena? No. No. Dr. Evans is still hanging on. Oh, well that’s good. That’s good news. I’m, I’ve been praying for her. And so has your aunt Tammy. Well, if it isn’t about Allie’s, grandmother, then what’s the matter?

Sloane Peterson was just here. Sloane Peterson. What the hell is she want? Oh, did she hurt you? Cuz if he did, I swear. God, no, no, no. She didn’t hurt me. At least not yet. What? What are you talking about? This, the woman is still very much hell bent on hurting us both.

Okay. Lemme see if I have this straight Xandra cook, kidnapped Egypt, Dara’s mother, and you helped cover it up and then she roped you in. The police already know you were involved and now you’re worried it’s only a matter of time before you are implicated as well. That’s the gist of it. So what are our options?

Options? So aiding and abetting, kidnapping. Falsifying evidence. Yeah. You think you have options? , well, sorry, kids. I mean you guys are pretty much.

Julie. Oh, Halle. Oh, well, my darlings. Hey, please tell me what, what’s Marla’s condition now? She is still in the icu, but from what we hear, it’s it not looking great. Oh, no. Oh, I’m so sorry.

Um, and Kate and Kayla too. I’m so sorry. That’s okay. Um, so what is, uh, what’s all this? I went to Julie’s place and had some sandwiches made up. The, those of of prayer visioning going on. Eric is leading it in the chapel. It’s, it’s for family and friends and, and Doug is actually already there. Oh no. God, what is it?

I forgot my rosary.

I’m not proud of what my brother did. Then why do you keep making excuses for him? I’m not making excuses. It sounds like you are. I know my. . All right. He might be arrogant and a little full of himself, but he’s got a really good heart. Mm-hmm. He knows that he messed up and he, he’s gonna do whatever it takes to, to what?

To, to what? Son. Make it up to Stephanie. How do you make up to someone that you kept from saying their final goodbye to someone they loved, not just someone they loved their mother. You can make that up, son. You’re right. And even if Alex was stupid enough to try, I doubt he will ever get the chance.

I know you have no reason to trust me right now, but I came here. To tell you the truth myself, quite frankly, because I am riddled with guilt and I have never regretted anything more in my life. Steph, so what you want me to feel? Sorry for you. I’m just doing my best to be honest. I came here today on my own accord to not only tell you the truth, but to tell you that I am sorry for what I did and I’m sorry about your mom.

And if you don’t believe me, you can ask my brother. I don’t need to ask Sonny anything. I know all I’ll ever need to know about the kind of man you are.

Steph, I am begging you. I am begging you. Look, look, look at me. Look at me. I know you were upset with me. And I know you are hurt. You are grieving, but please do not throw away what we had. What? I didn’t Throw it away. Alex, you did. When you invaded my privacy, when you disrespected and lied to me, and like I said, I am gonna be regretting that until the day I die.

I just, I wanted us to have a, a romantic, beautiful evening alone together. And instead I made this this stupid thoughtless mistake in which I have learned from, and I swear to God’s you, I swear to God’s you. I will never, I will never do anything like that again in what that’s supposed to make me feel better.

What the hell do I care that you learned from it? I will never have another chance to say goodbye to my mother. Do you not get that? I get that, Steph. I get that. But I know that we can get past this if you allow it. If you allow me to do this for you, if you allow me to make this up to you, please. There is nothing you can.

Every time I look at you, all I see is my mother lying in that hospital room. Cold,

dead.

You know what your problem is, son? No, but I’m guessing you’re about to tell me. Yeah, I am because I’m your best friend and if your best friend can’t give it to you straight, then who? All right. Done in life, man. The problem is you spend too much time seeing the best in people. This again, is that a bad trait?

You know what? Call me naive, but I, I happen to think that’s a great attribute. In fact, my mother, God rest her soul always encouraged me and my brothers to do just that. Yeah. But there has to be exceptions. Some people are irredeemable. No, but I, I happen to disagree. I mean, do do you really think it’s more honorable to believe that deep down everyone is devious and, and and cruel and that even if they say they’re gonna change, you shouldn’t believe them?

I mean, is that really the kind of cynicism that you subscribe to? No, I don’t, I don’t think it is more honorable to mistrust everyone. I think it is sure as hell more self-protective. Take Leo for example. Leo is gonna cause you problems. Maybe not now, but in the near distant future, he is gonna let you down because that is who he is and that is what he does.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. There has to be something you can do. I mean, this is small potatoes compared to getting me off on a murder rep. A murder that you didn’t commit. This is very d. The two of you actually did help cook in committing these crimes, and if anyone can get us off, it’s you. Look, I know we’ve only worked together once before, but I have to say you are quite the impressive lady litigator better than Annalise’s Keating and Ally McNeil combined.

Okay? Those are TV lawyers based on real people. I think maybe one day they’ll name a TV show after you better call Sloan. It’s got a nice ring to it, right? Qu, okay. Look, as much as I appreciate the flattery, it’s a pipe dream as much as getting the two of you out of this very dicey situation, UNS. Look, my best advice would be, let me see if I can cut a deal or you will testify against Cook before a grand jury.

See, I told you we should turn on him. Mattie will have you over this. She doesn’t wanna hang Xander out to dry. She’s in love with him. Fancies herself, a Bonita who’s Clyde. Have you seen the way that story ends? Oh heaven’s sake. I do not fancy myself as anything but Zander’s friend. And for the last time, it doesn’t matter what either of you do or say, I am not selling Xander out.

So if, if, if there’s nothing more, I’m going, you can show yourselves out.

What’s that? They say you can lead a criminal conspirator to a potential plea deal, but you can’t make them take the deal. That’s it. I’m out too.

I have a proposition for you.

I was just rushing. So to get here for the prayer vi, I, I forgot to pack the rosary. Where did you leave it? Oh, it’s on, it’s on the top of my dresser in my bedroom. Wow. I’ll go get in. Oh, no darling. I can’t ask that of you. You need to be here for your grandma. No, I was actually just telling Will that they’re restricting Grandma Marlene’s visitors right now.

Wh which means I, I can’t even see her right now anyway, so I, I’ll, I’ll go to your house and grab the rosary. You really don’t mind. Not at all. Not at all. I’ll, I’ll. Soon. Cute. Thank you darling.

Oh, Allie, I know how much you love your grandmother, Marlena. I know how hard this is for you. It’s your strong lady, just like Marlena, just like your mother for that matter. You’ll get through this, sweetheart. Yeah, I have to. I need to be strong for my son. Henry needs me to be. Yes. He needs you. And when our children need us, all the people we love, he need us.

That’s what we’re put on earth for darling. And that’s what keeps us strong. Yeah, it is. And thank God for it. Yes, you. Oh, yes.

I’ll really hit the spot. Good. Let me guess. Is that the first time you’ve eaten today? I had a banana for breakfast. Well, half a banana. I split it with Henry and um, a bite of cookie from the venue machine. Ah-huh Alice, Caroline, I know you’re worried about your grand. But you’ve got to take care of yourself.

You sound like Chanel right now. This whole week she’s been trying to get me to eat more and sleep more. How are things going with you too? Chanel’s been amazing through all of this. I mean, she’s really been my rock, even though she’s been also dealing with her own family drama. I thought things were better for Paulina and Chanel after those awful murder charges were dropped.

Well, they have been. I am just worried that Sloan Peterson is going to continue to cause trouble. That woman is bound and determined to get revenge,

so she’s suing us in civil court. Two. Huh? Little, little heifer. She doesn’t know when to quit. This is bad mom. She isn’t going to stop until we have nothing left. Oh, no, no. Calm down. Calm down. Now it’s not the end of the world. I thought you’d be more upset. Yeah, I am. I am. I’m furious. But I step there. She come over here and try to threaten my daughter.

No, I meant about the lawsuit. Oh, well honey, you know. Well, wouldn’t you have as much money as I do? Frivolous lawsuits, they come with the territory, but my attorneys, they will make myths. Meet the Sloan Peterson. It’s just you. Wait, you have another proposition? I’m listening. What if we. Leave Gwen out of the plea deal.

I could testify against Sandra alone. I’ll say he was the one who hired me to wear the padded clown suit. Knock Gwen. But that’s a boldfaced lie. You have a problem with that? Not necessarily. Good. The only thing is I need to testify anonymously. Oh, you don’t want your little bestie finding out that you drop the dime on Cook.

I’m pretty sure she’ll find out. I’m not worried about Gwen. I am constantly saving her from herself. It’s this thing we do. And sure she’ll be pissed at first, but at least we’ll both be free. Okay. So if you’re not worried about Glen finding out, then what’s the point of having an anonymous testimony because of Sonny, Alex’s brother, or what does he have to do with this?

He’s my friend. He believed in me when nobody else would. Sonny thinks I’ve changed. I can’t have him knowing I was involved in something like this.

Okay, so, so is, is that how you see me? I’m just a pathetic tool. Stumbling around with a, with a, a take advantage of me. Shout out, you know, that’s not what I meant. I just meant you, you know, you, you, you’re too trusting, son. Well, look, I choose to give people like Leo and Alex, the benefit of the doubt, because we could all use a little redemption from time to time.

You know, even me, even you. Just about everyone on this planet. Sure. Yeah. Redemption once in a while is something that we all need, but in this case, what Alex did, he deprived your cousin of Alaska by to her mother. I doubt Stephanie’s gonna be as forgiving as you are.

I am sorry for robbing. Of your last moments with your mom,

but I will spend the rest of my life trying to make up for it. If you let me, you can spend two lifetimes, three lifetimes. Hell, you can spend eternity trying to make it up to me. Nothing you ever say or do will give me back what you took from me, Steph. No, I’m done. I want you to leave Steph. The least you can do is respect my wishes.

Go, Stephanie, please. Just no, Alex now.

Sarah Honey. Hi Bonnie. Hi Justin. We were just about to grab dinner. Um, we’d love for you to join us unless you have other plants. No, I, I don’t, um, I’d actually love to join you. Just, I’m afraid I won’t be much company. I’m kind of wiped out. Oh yeah. I’m sure you’ve been working all out lately. Yeah. Just kinda nonstop trying to find that cure from Elena.

Any luck? No, unfortunately. And without that orchid we can’t do much. But we are gonna keep trying though. Well, we’re all praying for her. Yeah. It’s all my, actually Justin, um, I’m really glad I ran into you. There’s, um, something I would like to discuss. What’s that?

I wanna divorce and I was wondering if you could help me.

[ Relaxing music ]

Steffy: Mom, don’t do it. Don’t confess anything to the police.

Taylor: That is the only way to take away bill’s power and you know it. He’s blackmailing us, steffy! He’s threatening to– to turn me in for shooting him years ago. I can’t live under that kind of threat! And even worse, sheila walking free? No. No, I can not let that happen. I will sacrifice my own freedom and– and– and– and my own safety before I– I sacrifice yours and my grandchildren’S. I will. Zero regrets.

Sheila: So, how’s it feel to have someone… forever in debt to you, hm? I’m a free woman, all charges have been dropped and it’s all because of you. Of course, you know that is going to ruffle some feathers. I mean, when they find out about us, are you ready for the mob that’s going to come knocking at your door? I mean, katie and– and brooke?

Bill: They both turned me down again and again.

Sheila: So, if either is upset by this, it’s just… too bad? It’s their own fault anyway.

Brooke: This can’t be real. I mean, there is no way a judge would let sheila go.

Katie: Especially after hearing from steffy and finn. I mean, you can’t tell me they didn’t make extremely credible witnesses.

Carter: I’m sure they did, but my contact was certain. It’s not some rumor he heard, it’s fact. Sheila carter was released.

Brooke: Ah, what?

Katie: Maybe the judge ruled that sheila was mentally unfit to stand trial. I mean, I could see that as a possibility. Maybe she’s in some kind of institution?

Carter: No, she was set free.

Brooke: How is that even possible? What the hell happened?

Carter: Well, maybe someone came forward with some new evidence? A way to justify her actions?

Brooke: Wait. You think that there’s somebody out there that’s willing to defend sheila?

Carter: There must be. Otherwise, she’d still be in prison. Someone’s responsible for this.

Katie: Question is who?

Bill: I probably burned every bridge I had siding with you.

Sheila: Bridges to people that always let you down. Unlike me, now I– I’m gonna be someone you can always count on. I promise. So if you excuse me, I am gonna go freshen up for the rest of our evening together.

Steffy: Say you go to the police. Say you make this huge sacrifice, it doesn’t guarantee that sheila will be arrested. Bill will do everything in his power to keep her out of prison. He’s lost his way, mom.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: Clearly lost his mind.

Taylor: Clearly, clearly, but it frees you up to testify.

Finn: To a corrupt judge? Taylor, what’s the point?

Steffy: Bill has the judge bought and sold. Who knows who else is on his payroll? If you expose yourself, you’ll go to prison. I’m not letting that happen.

Taylor: All right. All right, I– I won’t go to police.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Thank you so much, mom. I couldn’t handle the thought of you going. I can’t lose you. I can’T.

Taylor: Oh, I love you so much. I… I am so– I am so happy that I get to be here with you guys. I– I– this house, your family that you made. It’s so filled with love. You know, coming back to L.A. Was probably the– the best decision I’ve ever made. Being here with you guys, my grandbabies, it’s– it’s been– it’s been so healing for me.

Steffy: For all of us.

Taylor: Yeah. I’m just sorry that I was away for so long.

Steffy: You’re here now. That’s all that matters.

Taylor: But I’m here now at the mercy of bill Spencer and he can take that away whenever he wants. My god. Do you think he has any idea how dangerous this is?

Steffy: No. Not until we figure out a way to get through to him, there’s really nothing we can do.

Taylor: You leave that to me. Ever leave your clothes in the dryer

Brooke: Even if somebody came forward on sheila’s behalf, if there was some kind of new evidence. Wait, what am I talking about? How could there be new evidence? Everybody knows what happened. There’s no denying that.

Katie: She claims that shooting finn was an accident, so maybe it has something to do with that? There was no intent to harm?

Carter: But there was intent to cause steffy harm. Just because finn jumped in front of a bullet doesn’t make the shooting an accident. And then, sheila turns her gun to steffy and shoots her too. No, it’s clearly intentional.

Brooke: Okay, well that’s what finn and steffy were doing. They were testifying to the judge and you’re saying a judge heard that, but they still let sheila go?

[ Katie sighing ]

Steffy: I can’t believe my mother even considered turning herself in.

Finn: She wants to protect you and the kids. Keep sheila away. I can understand. But hey, you got through to her. You don’t have to worry.

Steffy: But we have to worry about sheila for the rest of our lives. And bill. I mean, my mom is right. Bill has the power.

Finn: What do you think she meant? Leave it to her?

Steffy: Oh, no.

Finn: What?

Steffy: My mother said she’s not going to the police. Because she’s going somewhere else instead. Bill’S.

[ Taylor panting ]

Taylor: Where is she? Where is sheila?

Bill: Upstairs.

Taylor: Why are you doing this, bill? Why? Why are you standing behind her? Why are you trying to keep a psychopath out of prison? That’s what she is, you know? She is manipulative. She is dangerous. She has terrorized my family for years. Are you forgetting how dangerous sheila is? Are you forgetting what she’s done? What she’s done to my family? And to yours too. Your granddaughter. Sheila almost left kelly motherless with no remorse. Not a second thought. Come on, bill. Think about what sheila did to steffy and finn. The trauma that she caused. What she put them through. If you can think about that and still tell me that you don’t think that sheila should be in prison… you can’t! And I can’t allow it!

Sheila: Allow what? Hello, taylor. I brought in ensure max protein

Katie: Word about this is gonna spread fast.

Carter: Yeah. Sheila’s set free. You bet it will.

Katie: Okay, time for me to get to work. The press is gonna want a statement from forrester. I need to pay steffy a visit so we can all get on the same page, work out a game plan.

Carter: Can I go? Might be good to have a lawyer with you.

Katie: Ah, you just read my mind. I was just about to ask you.

Brooke: Is there anything I can do?

Carter: Warn everyone. Let security know about our new reality. Sheila’s not going to prison after all.

Katie: Let’s go find out why.

Steffy: Straight to voicemail.

Finn: Hey, look, maybe she’s with a patient, okay? Or she’s just–

Steffy: Or confronting bill.

Finn: Why don’t you look up her location, huh? Maybe that’ll give you some peace of mind.

Steffy: I hope she’s heading home. Oh, my god.

Finn: What?

Steffy: Her location is blocked. She never does that.

Finn: Okay, then just go. I get it. You gotta be with your mom. Just be safe, please.

Steffy: I will.

Finn: Okay?

Steffy: If bill provokes her, or worse, sheila. Oh, my gosh. My mom’s gonna call the cops and turn herself in. I gotta go.

Finn: Yeah, well just don’t let that happen.

Sheila: You know, it’s lovely to see you, taylor, but I’m sorry. What you not going to allow?

Taylor: You. Your freedom.

Sheila: You know, you should look at yourself. You’re so angry, you’re almost shaking and that’s not good for you.

Taylor: Oh, sheila, don’T. Don’t pretend that you care what’s good for me.

Sheila: But I do. I still want us to be friends.

Taylor: Oh, really? Because you’re trying to send me to prison. It’s not very friendly.

Sheila: It’s a simple understanding. Steffy’s silence for ours. You know, I understand you’re upset and there are a lot of people that are going to be–

Taylor: Upset? Sheila, I– I am disgusted that anyone would allow this.

Sheila: Wait a minute, you can’t blame bill for this because he finally found somebody that– that– that understands him, that’s going to put his needs first?

Taylor: No, no, bill. Come on. You are not this desperate.

Sheila: The heart wants what it wants. Not everyone is gonna understand that.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Are you gonna let her talk for you?

Sheila: Maybe bill is tired of talking, taylor. He finally found a woman that’s willing to step up and look out for him for a change. I will always have his back.

Taylor: Yeah. A murderous psychopath. That’s who you want by your side, bill? She shouldn’t be here right now, she should be in prison.

Sheila: The judge doesn’t think so.

Taylor: The judge was bought. At least, that’s my understanding and I’m pretty sure I’m right. Otherwise, you wouldn’t get away with trying to kill steffy and finn.

Sheila: You know what? We have been through this before. What happened was a terrible accident. I never meant to harm anyone.

Taylor: Yes, you did. Yes, you did. Do you hear her, bill? She’s trying to be the victim.

Sheila: Maybe because I am. I know that you don’t want to believe that. No. You don’t want to believe anything that you and the forresters have put me through. The misunderstandings. The way you have shunned me. You cast me aside. You haven’t even given me a chance. No one’s given me a chance. Until now. Until bill. Kids can change minds…

[ Door banging ]

Finn: It’s open, amelia.

Katie: Finn? Hey.

Finn: Katie? Carter. What are you– you guys heard.

Katie: Yeah.

Carter: A friend from the courthouse tipped me off.

Katie: Is steffy here? I need to know how to handle the press.

Finn: No, she’s not. And um… uh, honestly, she probably doesn’t want to speak to reporters right now. She’s, you know, still in shock.

Katie: Yeah, we all are. How the hell was sheila set free?

Finn: Well, you can thank your ex-husband.

Katie: Bill?

Taylor: Bill, you’re just… you’re going through a crisis right now. That’s what this is. You just– you need someone to talk to and I–

Sheila: Please don’t diagnose him. He’s fine. We both are.

Taylor: No. No, you’re not.

Sheila: Oh, no. Of course. That’s right because it can’t be true. I mean, no one is allowed to appreciate me or to find the good in me or care about me. Until bill.

Taylor: She’s using you.

Sheila: No, you know what? I know why this is difficult for you to understand because this did happen so suddenly. We– we– we know that. But don’t question if this is true because it is. I know how difficult this must be for you because let’s just face it, ridge never put you first. You’ve never had what I have and I really do wish that for you though, taylor. That you find a connection and– and this kind of love.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Shut up, sheila.

Sheila: I love bill and I have never felt this way about any man my entire life.

Taylor: Come on, this isn’t– I– I don’t believe you. I don’t believe this.

Sheila: Why can’t we just get on with our lives, huh? Why can’t we just accept this and both live in– in peace? You accepted me before. You gave me a chance. I think you can find that in your heart to do that again.

Taylor: You know what? I did. I did. I did accept you. I– I believed in you. I really did. And then you put a bullet in my daughter and left her for dead, lied about it and played the victim, so yeah, you’re gonna have to forgive me if your happiness isn’t something I particularly care about. I don’t give a damn about your happiness. I just want to see you behind bars.

Sheila: You know what? That’s the difference between us. Because I don’t wish that for you. I don’t want you to say or do anything that will keep you in prison for the rest of your life. Keep you away from your grandchildren and your children.

Taylor: Bill, what I did to you, in this very room all those years ago, it was awful. It was really awful. But so is blackmailing me and my daughter to keep this pathological criminal on the streets. Look, she says that she has feelings for you, but honestly, I don’t think she’s capable of having feelings, but she can sure manipulate you into feeling sorry for her. I know she did with me. Come on, bill. She has hurt so many people. She has destroyed so many lives. You are smarter than this. I know you are. Stop this. Tell her! Tell her this is all a lie!

Bill: Taylor wants the truth. And I’m sure you do as well.

Sheila: I do.

Bill: The truth is I… thought I knew what it felt like to commit myself and to have the complete and utter devotion of a woman in return, but I was wrong. Meeting you, the time we spent together… I finally know what that’s supposed to feel like. I love you, sheila.

Sheila: You love me? That’s all I ever dreamed of. That’s all I’ve ever wanted. Is to be loved.

Chelsea: Billy?

Billy: Hey.

Chelsea: Are you okay?

Billy: Yeah. I’m fine.

Chelsea: Come inside. Come inside.

Chelsea: What’s wrong? Is it lily? Billy. What happened?

Billy: It’s over.

Daniel: Lily. Whoa. Sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.

Lily: No, it’s fine.

Daniel: Oh, man. Still beautiful, huh? You know, when I lived in genoa city before, I used to come up here all the time. It’s one of my favorite spots in the city. It always gave me that inspiration that I needed. I was just working on omega sphere, and, well, i needed a little creative stimulation, so [Sniffs] Let’s hope this does the trick. Hmm? [ Chuckles ] Opens up those floodgates, gets the creative juices flowing again. I’m really glad they haven’t turned this place into condos yet.

[ Chuckles ] Hey. What’s going on? Do you, uh — do you want to be left alone? Or maybe you’d like some company?

Nick: Son, when are we gonna start meeting someplace a little more happening? Clearly, this place isn’t taking off the way you’d hoped.

Noah: Alright, well, maybe not for a happening guy like you, but I seem to be satisfying all my other patrons. You know, besides, this place is my life now. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Nick: I’m as content as you are.

Noah: Okay, I’m gonna ask you something. Fair warning — you might not want to answer it right now.

Nick: [ Laughs ] Well, now I’m curious. What’s up?

Noah: This whole sally thing. I’m interested to know how serious it is.

Sally: Look at page 3. I think our organization chart needs a little streamlining. Chloe? What do you think?

Chloe: Um…you know, we’ve been at this for hours, going over and over every detail. I think we’ve got it all covered.

Chloe: But what I have to know is — how are you feeling?

Sally: I feel great. Why?

Chloe: Okay, I — I don’t want to push, but the clock is ticking. You need to start making some decisions.

Sally: What are you talking about? I’ve been making tons of decisions, like what kind of charts and graphics should be added to our pitch document and how to sharpen our opening statement, how far to push the budget. I’m focused on, you know, getting our presentation ready for jill tomorrow.

Chloe: Okay, sally, there is, like, a huge elephant in the room, and I’m not going to let you ignore it another second. I’m not playing this denial game with you. You know exactly what I’m asking. You need to start making decisions about your pregnancy.

provided by…

Sally: Chloe, this is hardly the time to be discussing that.

Chloe: Okay. If not now, when?

Sally: I don’t know. Sometime after the pitch. We’ve got to get prepared for tomorrow.

Chloe: I’m not playing this avoidance game with you. I was here with you when you took the pregnancy test. I know it was positive.

Sally: Okay, but what do you expect me to do about that right now? Tomorrow we have one of the biggest presentations of our professional careers, and we cannot afford to blow it. And one positive at-home pregnancy test is not gonna change that.

Chloe: I disagree. This pregnancy could change everything. And you may want to pretend like it isn’t happening, but I know for a fact that it is. So…that’s why I brought these. They’re prenatal vitamins. I took them when I was pregnant with miles, and I think you should start doing the same.

Chelsea: Tell me what happened. Do you want to talk about it?

Billy: No, I don’t, really, not right now. I mean, I’ll tell you at some point, just not right now.

Chelsea: Okay. Yeah, I understand. I get it.

[ Sighs ] For the record, I’m really sorry, especially if I had anything to do with what happened between you and lily.

Billy: Chelsea, this is 100% on me.

Chelsea: You know, sometimes things don’t work out. Sometimes it’s — it’s not anybody’s fault and — you know what? You said you don’t want to talk about it, so I’m gonna stop.

Billy: Yeah, can I just — can I just sit here for a minute?

Chelsea: Yeah. We can just sit. Or — or what’s better than sitting? Movie time.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] Don’t think I’m up for that right now.

Chelsea: Well, I think you could use a little escapism right now and, um — and maybe a snack. You know, popcorn, soda, candy, a little sweet, little salty.

Billy: I think you should probably save that for connor.

Chelsea: It looks like you need it a lot more than connor right now. Plus — plus, I have the perfect film we could watch. It was recently voted the dumbest movie of all time. I figure we can be the judge of that.

Billy: Yeah. Sure. Let’s do that.

Lily: Yeah, company is nice, but I just feel a little talked out at this point.

Daniel: Yeah. Look, that’s cool. I mean, I get it. If you want silence, that’s exactly what I’ll be — silent company.

Lily: I just feel like today has been the longest day of my life. I feel like my whole world has been turned upside down. I spoke with billy about how our relationship is over… talked to devon about how he wants to dissolve our chancellor-winters partnership. And I have no idea how that’s gonna affect our relationship going forward. So, yeah, I think silence is good because I’m at a point right now where I feel like if you and I keep talking, you’re gonna tell me that you don’t want to be my friend anymore. I just feel like everything in my life has fallen apart at once. Vegas heat?

Sally: Look, put those away, chloe. I don’t need them, alright?

Chloe: Based on what I know, you do.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: Unless you think you got a false positive or — did you get your period or something?

Sally: Oh, my god. Really, chloe? Why is my menstrual cycle a topic of discussion right now? We have so much on our plate of much more immediate importance. Can we just focus on that?

Chloe: Okay. You know, you can play this however you want to play it, but things are going to get real serious real fast, and you need to start making some plans, starting with taking some supplements. Unless you don’t trust the home test, and in that case, you should make an appointment with your ob-gyn and get an official one.

Sally: I already went, okay? It was positive.

[ Keys clacking ]

Chloe: [ Sighs ] Sally. Sally, this is happening. You can’t avoid it.

Sally: I just can’t handle facing all of this right now, okay?

Chloe: I know that this is a really scary time. It’s a scary time, and it’s something that you might not want to face, but no one ever said that you have to do it alone. Okay. I’m here. I’m here to support you. I have been through this before. I will be there for you every step of the way. And you have the baby’s father’s support, too, right?

Nick: How serious is the sally thing? I don’t know, man. How serious is the allie thing?

Noah: She’s amazing. We love spending time together. We support one another, and i appreciate her more and more every day.

Nick: Same.

Noah: Ah, it’s just — it’s that type of love I could really be grateful for, especially after all the audra stuff. Every day I wake up and I am excited to nourish our relationship and watch it grow.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] You sound like a self-help guru.

Noah: What can I say? It’s special. She offers support and stability, consistency. It’s just — it’s really nice.

Nick: Well, I am happy for you. I remember the feeling of that kind of love. Sally and I are not in that place. At least, not yet. But cheers to you for truly having it all.

Daniel: Is it okay if I speak now?

Lily: [ Sighs ]

[ Sniffles ] Yeah, it’s fine. As long as you don’t say something like, “what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger,” or, “it’s the darkest before the dawn.” I just can’t really handle generic platitudes right now.

Daniel: [ Exhales sharply ] Look…I promise I had no intentions of saying any of those things. But you know what I will say? I will say that you never have to worry about me telling you that we’re no longer gonna be friends. You’re not gonna get rid of me that easily.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Thanks. I needed to hear that.

Daniel: What’s happening with you — it sucks. It really, really sucks. It’s not fair, and you deserve so much more, so much better, especially from the people who claim to be in your corner.

Lily: [ Scoffs, sniffles ] Yeah, I don’t really know what i deserve. I mean, I’m dealing with the consequences of my own actions, right? Like, I chose to be with billy. I chose to partner with devon. And now I’ve failed in both my personal and professional lives.

Daniel: No. No. No, see, I’m not gonna let you go there. None of this is your fault. You didn’t fail. I — I mean, if anything, you chose to see the best in billy. You know, you were willing to believe that he was capable of this level of growth and maturity that he himself was trying to achieve.

Lily: And I was wrong.

Daniel: You’re an amazing businesswoman. It was an incredible idea to merge your company with devon’S. You didn’t do anything wrong. It’s not your fault if other people can’t see the bigger, better picture.

Lily: [ Sighs ] It’s just so frustrating that i can’t fix this. ‘Cause, like, that’s who I am. Like, there’s a problem, and then I want to find a solution and fix it, you know? It’s like I — it’s like I want to have control or something. And it’s an illusion because in reality, I don’t have control over anything.

Billy: Ohh.

[ Both chuckle ]

[ Both laughing ] Kids can change minds…

Noah: Not yet love with sally or not ever?

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Look, I know you’re not a fan of my involvement with her, but we enjoy each other’s company. That’s where we’re at. We’re happy. Neither one of us feels the need to push her to find this any faster than we’re ready, okay?

Noah: Okay. Okay. I get it.

Nick: Good. Because sally and I are in complete agreement. We’re not gonna make this any more complicated than it needs to be.

Noah: For now. But you know as well as anyone that things can change in the blink of an eye, whether you want them to or not.

Nick: Oh, well, thank you for your sage wisdom, old man, but i think I know a little bit more about complicated relationships than you do. And, trust me, this is not one of them.

Sally: Nick and I have been very clear about taking things slow. I mean, we’re not even in a serious relationship yet.

Chloe: Well, for two people who aren’t in a serious relationship, you sure do spend a lot of time together.

Sally: Regardless of how it may seem to everyone else, nick and I have been very clear with each other. And, trust me, my being pregnant is definitely not in the plan. And the last thing that I want is for nick to feel like I’m trying to trap him into anything by springing this on him.

Chloe: I know nick. I don’t think that he would react that way. He loves being a father. He’s been through this before. He knows that things can sometimes happen. And I bet if you just sit down with him and tell him the truth, he will want to figure this out as a team.

Sally: No. I’m not ready yet. I’m sorry. I need more time.

Chloe: Sally… you don’t have time. Pregnancies don’t work that way. And if you wait too long, they’ll tell the world for you.

Daniel: You know, I know what it’s like to feel powerless. I mean, come on. I lived it. And what I’ve come to realize — control is an illusion. You know, you can’t control other people. The only thing you can control is you and your response to all the things that are happening around you.

Lily: I know. I mean, I keep telling myself that I’ve gotten through worse, but [Sighs] It doesn’t make me feel any better. I still feel horrible.

Daniel: Well, I promise you, you’re gonna feel less horrible as time passes. Look, you’re gonna start to recognize the other things in life that bring you joy, or at least contentment, you know? And inevitably things will get better, even if it doesn’t seem that way right now.

Lily: Is that what happened to you when heather left?

Daniel: Hardly.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, no. I, uh… well, I crashed and burned, and, you know, I was wallowing in my own self-pity and misery. First I tanked my career, then my relationship. You know, if you want a checklist of what not to do, I’m your guy. I got you covered.

Lily: Well, how long is your list? ‘Cause I may have checked off a few of those items already.

Daniel: I doubt it. You’re just in stage one, you know, the — the hurt.

[ Chuckles ] I was punishing heather and lucy for all the things that i thought had gone wrong in my life or weren’t going the way that they were supposed to, even though none of it had anything to do with either of them. Instead of focusing on the joy of my family, I — I chose to lean into the misery and i dragged them down into it with me. Ultimately, I drove them away.

Billy: Chelsea. No!

Chelsea: Billy. Billy, y-you were having a nightmare. I — whatever it was about, though, it’s over now.

Billy: Yeah, no, I’m — I’m not sure what that was.

Chelsea: You, um — you called out my name. If you don’t want to talk about lily, I understand, but this — this you can talk to me about because I have a feeling that awful nightmare has something to do with that night on the roof.

Billy: [ Breathes deeply ] Hi, I’m angela.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Billy: Thank you.

Chelsea: That night was the most horrible experience of my life. And we’ve talked about that. But we never discussed what it was like for you.

Billy: It doesn’t matter how I’m feeling. It’s — it’s about you. You’re the one that’s healing.

Chelsea: That’s not true. That’s not true. We’re all on the mend. Life is hard for all of us. So, even if your feelings don’t matter to other people, they matter to me.

Billy: Well, thank you for saying that, but I don’t want to burden you with my emotional baggage. You got enough going on.

Chelsea: To be honest with you, at first, I didn’t think about it. I was so caught up in my own situation, it never occurred to me what you had to go through. But then when I could finally think straight, it hit me. And I was too afraid to bring it up to you. But now it’s out in the open, and I want you to be able to talk to me about it because the only burden I’ve been feeling lately, honestly, is not knowing how this has affected you. We’re the only two people in the world who really know what happened on the rooftop that night. So, please…talk to me.

Lily: I’m really sorry. I can only imagine what a wake-up call it was when heather and lucy left.

Daniel: No. No, not at first, anyway.

[ Chuckles ] I mean, don’t forget I’m your poster child for the checklist of what not to do, remember? No, no, no, I-I — I went a little crazy, found myself in my own little self-destruct binge. I was on it for a while, too.

Lily: I think you’re being too hard on yourself.

Daniel: Nope, I’m not. Trust me. But you know what? Now I’m on a mission to try and make things better in my life. Maybe one day better for my daughter’s life, too. Look, lily, you’re — you’re already a good person, you know?

Lily: Yeah.

Daniel: You are. You’re strong. You’re kind. You’re fair.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Daniel: You didn’t let anyone down. Billy failed you. And devon — you know, by choosing to dissolve your chancellor-winters partnership, he failed everyone.

Sally: [ Sighs heavily ] Look, please, chloe, can we just table this whole baby discussion for right now, okay? Nothing needs to be figured out right this second. And I think we’re about as prepared as we can be for our presentation tomorrow, so maybe we should just call it a night.

Chloe: Oh, um…okay, you don’t want to work on our statement a little bit more?

Sally: I know that we said we needed to prepare more, but i changed my mind. I think we’re good. You know, we want it to be spontaneous. We don’t want it to seem rehearsed. And besides, nick is gonna come down from the club and we’re gonna go do dinner and drinks.

Chloe: How are you going to explain to nick that you’re suddenly on the wagon and that you can’t have a drop of alcohol enter your system?

Sally: I-I… I’m just gonna remind him that I’ve had an upset stomach.

Chloe: Okay. You’re still dodging reality. You’re still in denial. You know that that excuse is only going to work for a short while. Soon you have to face the facts.

For your most brilliant smile,

crest has you covered.

Lily: What do you mean that devon failed everyone?

Daniel: Well, you know, it’s obvious how he failed you. I mean, he was supposed to be committed to family and building something together, but, you know, by choosing to walk away from your partnership, he not only let you down. He failed himself.

Lily: How do you figure that?

Daniel: Imagine how much better he could be with you by his side. You know, with your business acumen [Chuckles] — Think about it — the two of you, you could rule the world. Devon failed himself more than he could have ever failed you. And now — now he won’t have your brilliant mind working side by side with him.

Lily: Well, I do appreciate your high opinion of me. But with everything in flux at chancellor-winters, I still feel like the biggest loser. And, look, I — I really hope that things work out. But I can’t really make any guarantees as to what will or won’t make it through to the next stage.

Sally: Enough, chloe. Really, okay? I’ll figure something out. I’ve got this.

[ Knock on door ]

Nick: Hey.

Sally: Hi.

Nick: Hey, chloe. I didn’t know you were here. Am I interrupting something? Do you guys want me to wait out in the hallway while you finish working whatever it is you’re working on?

Sally: No. We’ve just been working on our pitch all day, so I’m sure chloe’s just tired.

Nick: Oh, that’s right. That is tomorrow. I’m sure you want to get some rest. So, if you want a rain check, that’s okay.

Sally: No way. I need some time to unwind, and you are just the person I want to do it with.

Nick: How about you, chloe? You got to be starving after all your hard work. Do you want to come and join us?

Chloe: I would love to, but i really got to get back to the kids.

Nick: Okay.

Sally: Alright. Well, it is settled then. But you’re right. I’m starving. So, let’s go.

Nick: Let me help you with that.

Sally: Thank you.

Billy: [ Sighs ] When I walked out onto that rooftop and I saw you… standing up on the ledge… I mean, I just — I froze. You were just staring off into the oblivion, and you weren’t taking in the skyline. And from that moment on, everything was instinct, trying to say the right thing, anticipating your moves.

Chelsea: I’m so sorry. That must’ve been terrifying.

Billy: Well, I definitely felt fear. Felt a lot of guilt.

Chelsea: Wh-why would you feel guilt?

Billy: ‘Cause I’m the one that showed you that spot…

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Billy: …As a place to, you know, release your negative thoughts. I never in a million years thought that you’d be back up there to… but there you were. And if I hadn’t said the right things, if I didn’t make the right moves, it was gonna happen all over again.

Chelsea: What do you mean, again?

Billy: [ Breathes deeply ] Delia. And I wasn’t able to save my daughter and…

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I — i never — I never made that connection.

Billy: [ Sighs ] You know, in a way, this has been like a do-over, you know? It’s like I had an opportunity to — to do the right thing or to screw up and to live with another horrific loss that would stay with me for the rest of my life.

Chelsea: [ Voice breaking ] I’m so sorry. Even in that moment, that would be the last thing I would ever want.

Billy: I know. I know that. And fortunately, it was different, okay?

Chelsea: [ Sniffles ]

Billy: I was able to get you off the ledge, and I was able to persuade you to not give up. But still…the what-ifs — they’re still with me. And I dream almost every night i don’t get there in time and I — I don’t say the right things.

[ Voice breaking ] And it’s like it —

[ Breathes deeply ] It plays out in slow motion. And it’s like my heart is just wrapped in a fist.

Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ] When you’re through with powering through,

Sally: [ Sighs ] I don’t know how I’m gonna decide. All these specials look amazing. I just realized I have been so busy that I haven’t eaten all day. I guess I did not realize how hungry I actually was until i saw all these delicious things on the menu. I don’t want to hear any comments or complaints about how much I’m about to order.

Nick: I wouldn’t dream of it. I’m just glad your stomach’s feeling better and you got your appetite back. So, get whatever you want. In fact, why don’t you order one of everything?

Sally: Well, I might take you up on that.

Nick: Let’s do it. But first, let’s get some drinks so we can toast your inevitable success. What do you feel like? How about a glass of wine? Or maybe a spicy martini?

Chelsea: I knew what happened had an effect on you, but i never imagined it was so strong.

Billy: I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything to you.

Chelsea: No. You had to. You had to tell me this. My actions put you in a horrible position, billy, because you were just there because you cared. I hate that you had to witness that.

Billy: Well, I don’T. Look, whether I made it there on time or not, if I would have lost you, the pain would still be the same, chelsea. We’ve known each other for a long time. We’ve been through a lot. And here we are.

Chelsea: Standing strong.

Billy: And the world is a better place with you in it. It’s more interesting. It’s a lot more fun. It’s deep, and it’s — it’s real. And you are a bright spot in my day right now, and I wouldn’t change that for anything. You understand?

Chelsea: I do. And for the record, the world is a lot better with you in it, too.

Daniel: Penny for your thoughts?

Lily: [ Chuckles ] No, thanks to you, I do feel a little bit better. I mean, I know I’ve been through worse than this, you know? And I have always come out stronger for it on the other side.

Daniel: Ooh. That is starting to sound an awful lot like “darkest before the dawn” talk.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Should I, um, get out my book of clichés? You know, I do carry one with me at all times, you know, for special occasions such as this.

Lily: Ha, ha.

Daniel: [ Laughs ]

Lily: Thanks for being such a good friend and helping me process another one of life’s struggles.

Daniel: That’s what friends are for.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Daniel: Come on. Allow me at least one cliché. You had one!

Lily: Okay, fine, fine. Just one. Just one.

Daniel: Good.

Lily: I want you to know that I think you’re gonna be a success. And not just with omega sphere, but with anything that you set your mind to. And, look, I can’t guarantee what the future will hold at chancellor-winters, but what i can guarantee is that I will do everything in my power to bring your dream to fruition.

Daniel: Thank you. That’s all I could possibly ask for.

Lily: And I really hope heather and lucy notice ’cause i know that’s why you’re doing this — to show them how much you love them and want to fix things.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] You really do know me, don’t you?

Lily: You’re doing something special, and I hope they see that.

Daniel: Me too. I do have my doubts, though.

Lily: Look, it’s fine. You got off track. But I have faith in you and in your endeavor. And, you know [Scoffs] I may be the last one standing at chancellor-winters, but if my vote counts for anything, I am 100% behind you and your project.

Daniel: [ Breathes deeply ] Well, I guess we can’t fail, can we?

Lily: No.

[ Laughs ]

Daniel: [ Breathes deeply ] I never get tired of this.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Mom. Hey. Hey. Hey. Oh, my god. I’m so glad to see you. Thank you so much for calling me. Uh, is willow okay? My god. I don’t know. We just got here. There’s someone who might know. Tj, is willow okay? Think you missed a spot. Mom, what are you doing here? Wondering why I had to track you down at work to find out what’s going on with you. And don’t say, “nothing.” I’m your mom. I know when something’s bothering you. Gregory? Alexis. I wasn’t expecting to see you here. You weren’t expecting to see me in my own office? No, I-I spoke to your assistant. She said that you had some family matter come up, so I didn’t think you’d be back here tonight. I didn’t think you would’ve made yourself at home in my office. Why don’t you tell me what’s going on? See, I told you it was a great idea to raid the kitchen. The quartermaines literally have everything, and I got to give this biscotti another try once I soak it in some wine. I wonder where chase and brook lynn went. Michael said that they had to rush willow to the hospital, that he was forced to leave wiley with nina. Wiley is clinging to nina’s side. Michael would not like that. What should we do? The most important thing is to keep wiley happy. You don’t have to kick nina out. Just thank her for watching wiley, but you can take over. I’m just hoping nina plays along. Nina: [ Sighs ] Wiley: What’s wrong with my mommy? Oh, sweetheart, your… your mommy’s gonna be okay. Your daddy’s gonna make sure that she’s being taken care of, okay? That’s why those men took her to the hospital. The doctors — the doctors there are gonna make her all better. And my baby sister, too? And your baby sister, too. Boy, nina is really taking advantage of this crisis to get closer to wiley. This is the last thing willow would want. We have to put a stop to this. You’re right. We just have to hope that if we’re calm and upbeat, nina will play along, too. Right. Calm and upbeat. I can do that. I think. Don’t leave me, willow.

[ Sighs ] Come on. Fight for us. Fight for our family.

[ Monitor beeping ] Everything’s okay.

[ Car alarm chirps ] Yeah, I’m — I’M… I’m on my way. (Music throughout) get the royal treatment. Join the millions playing royal match today. Download now. When cold symptoms keep you up,try vicks nyquil severe. Just one dose starts to relieve 9 of your worst cold and flu symptoms, to help take you from 9 to none. For max-strength nighttime relief, nyquil severe. I’m not the best personto hand out information, because I just got to G.H., But I will make sure someone updates you soon. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] They have to be fine. Willow and the baby have to be fine. Okay. Hey, hey. Look, we’re all playing catch-up with willow’s illness, alright? Willow is going to be fine. And the baby, too.

[ Sniffles ] What can I say? You set a very high standard. And I always want to impress you. So I was here double-checking. Diligence and proper documentation are a way to my heart. I would imagine that’s especially true on a big-news day like today — the return of esme prince, the tragic demise of dr. Westbourne. I figured it was all hands on deck. Which is why I needed your help. Because I knew that after I got that call. Well , lucky for me, I was therewhen you got the call. One of those “right place, right time” kind of things. Not that I don’t enjoy your company or your instinct, but you have gone above and beyond. The way I see it, I owe you one, and I always repay my debts. How do you owe me? The night you talked my son off the proverbial ledge. You got through to finn when I couldn’T. So if I pitch in, give you a helping hand, it’s the least I can do. Plus the added benefit of spending more time with you. Hm. Consider us even. You know, you don’t have to stick around if you don’t want to. Here’s your hat. What’s your hurry? No, because if you’re gonna stick around, you’re gonna tell me why you want to stick around. So sit down and spill, professor. Okay. [ Sighs ] After all these years of teaching journalism in colleges, I find that the actual work is invigorating. Being here when a big story breaks, telling the truth in a strong narrative, separating fact from speculation. I’m really enjoying being in the thick of things. That’s because this is your first time. Tell me about it again a month from now. Are you telling me you’re not feeling any of the adrenaline rush that I am? Yes, I am. Okay, look, nothing is up with me, mom. I just wanted to take a couple extra shifts at kelly’s so I can pay for a new guitar amp. Cameron, I know when something’s wrong. Is it because esme’s back in town? I’m sure it was a shock to find out that she had been found. I know i was shocked. You know what? I don’t care if esme is pregnant or has memory loss. I hope she goes away for a long time after what she did to me and joss. You certainly have every right to be angry. She did unspeakable things to you and your friends. And to you. Esme attacked you. Eh, I wouldn’t really call it an attack. She went for my phone, and I fell down. It was more like an accident. Nothing esme has ever done has been an accident. Everything she has done has been deliberate. From the revenge porn to framing trina, setting ava’s car on fire. I hope that she gets what she deserves, and I hope they take that baby far away from her. Cameron, this does not sound like you. Please tell me what’s going on. Carly: Hi. How’s willow? And how’s the baby? Willow is stable, and the baby seems fine. Dr. Navarro is doing an ultrasound…

[ Exhales deeply ] …As a precaution right now. How did you even know we were here? Nina called me. Right. Right. Yeah. She said that she would call you and watch wiley until someone from the main house had come home. Sorry. I’ve just been so, you know, focused on willow that everything else is a blur to me right now. The only thing nina said was that willow collapsed. So what happened? It’s okay, michael. It’s not a secret anymore. I told carly about the leukemia. And sonny told me. Wait, sonny? H-how’d he know? I don’t know. I asked. He didn’t say. Okay, doesn’t matter because we all know, and we’re here. So what can we do for you? What do you need? You know, I promise you, I’ll explain everything. I just — right now, I just got to take care of something. Wiley, look who’s here! Grandpa! I told you I’d be here in no time. Get over here. Grandpa’s here. Everything’s gonna be okay.

Sonny, what are you doing here? Well, I called sonny to tell him what was going on, and I thought wiley would love to see his grandpa. I rushed over here. W-what are you doing here? Well, michael texted. He wanted me to check up on wiley. I’m okay.

[ Chuckles ] Do either of you know what’s going on with willow? Wiley, sweetie, why don’t you go brush your teeth and get ready for bed? I already did. Uh, do it again, and I’ll give you five bucks. Deal!

[ Chuckles ] What do you think? Should we tell them? Yes, you should tell us. Willow’s baby is my family. Is there a problem with the baby? I mean, it’s too early for her to go into labor, right? I haven’t heard anything since they were at the hospital, but there’s a lot more going on than just willow being pregnant. Um… she has leukemia. What? I had no idea. Oh, my god. Poor willow. Poor michael. He must be going crazy. I don’t think anyone else in the family knows about this. Yeah, we just found out. Leukemia? But, I mean, she’s gonna be treated, right? She’s gonna be okay. Well, we don’t know the details, but from what we can tell… …willow’s leukemia is in stage iv. I’m fine, mom. Really. Well, my mother’s instincts are telling me differently. Okay, maybe I’m not fine, but there’s nothing that you can do about it. There’s nothing that anyone can do. Well, then, just talk to me. Whatever it is, we can figure it out. Josslyn broke up with me.

[ Sighs ] I am so sorry. And it is all esme’s fault. Her plan to send trina to jail failed, but she certainly succeeded at ruining my life. We never got back to where we were before that video was posted. Everywhere we went, it was like people were just staring at us, talking behind our backs, laughing at us. I mean, eventually, it all died down, but that — the feeling between us, it stayed between me and joss. Is that what she said? Still no word from chase? No, nothing since he texted that they were at the gatehouse and michel and willow went to the hospital.

[ Sighs ] I hope that willow and the baby are gonna be okay. I’m sure everything will work out. Um, where do you think ned would keep the good wine? Supposedly, biscotti’s better if you dip it in there. Is this even the type of room where you’d keep wine? W-w-what kind of a room do they call this? I believe michael told me they call it the solarium.

[ Chuckles ] Rich people and their fancy names. Well, in that case, sasha,

[Posh accent] Would you care to join me for some biscotti in the solarium? First of all, you are very good at distracting people from their worries. Secondly, I would love some biscotti. Thank you. Hey. Willow and nina deserve to know the truth, carly. If willow has taken a turn — okay, okay, please keep your voice down. I’m not gonna go in there and tell her right now. Willow’s unconscious. Besides, you said they found a match for a bone — you still have to tell her! I know that, okay? I know that. I’m just not gonna do it right now. It’s not the right time. There’s never gonna be a right time, carly. And let me be really clear about this.

I am not gonna sit on this secret forever. I don’t expect you to. Right now, can we just pray for willow and the baby? Because willow making it through is all that matters. I brushed my teeth again. Now, where’s my five bucks? Oh, a promise is a promise, my friend. Thanks, brook lynn.

[ Chuckles ] Alright, hey, listen, I got to go to general hospital because I got to see michael, even though he doesn’t want to see me. But he’s my son. I want to be there for him. Of course. I-I’ll go with you. Thank you. Hey, buddy, come over here, and give me a big, big hug. Yes. Bye, grandpa. Bye, buddy. You want to say bye? Bye, grandma nina. Bye, sweetheart. Listen, I want you to remember this. Even if you don’t see me for a while, I’m always with you, okay? I love you so much. Give me a hug. Bye-bye, wiley.

[ Sighs ]

You’re a naturalat this — this type of work. I hope so. I taught it long enough. Nice to know I can actually put some of the skills I teach into practice. Why have you always taught journalism and not gone out into the field? I mean, your wife was a journalist.

[ Sighs ] It’s just the path I took. I felt the adrenaline rush a couple times helping jackie with her stories, but we were raising chase, and one of us had to have a more grounded job. Right, but that was the past. You’re certainly not raising chase now. Have you thought about giving up the lecture hall and then becoming a reporter? Does it sound exciting? Of course. But I think boots-to-the-ground reporting is more a young person’s job. These days, I’m better suited to watching from the sidelines. I think that’s bull. I do. I-I think you’re being self-deprecating, and I’m not sure you really believe that. And you’re talking to someone who found a second act. I mean, didn’t have any choice. I blew up my first act, and that’s a whole other story.

[ Chuckling ] Point taken. I mean, if you want to teach, teach, but if you want a change, go for it. Go for the second act, third act. You can go for as many acts as you want. I’m just trying to say that I-I think you’re really good at this, and I would hate to see you write off possibilities for your future without ever having gone there. You’ve definitely given me something to think about. Good. If you’re gonna stay here, you’re gonna work. So can you come over here and take a look at these layouts and tell me what you think? Yeah. Wiley, you’ve been through a lot tonight, haven’t you, buddy? Talk to me. Why did mommy say grandma nina was bad? Your mommy actually said that? I love grandma nina. Is she bad? Your grandma nina, well, she’s made some mistakes. But that doesn’t mean that she’s bad. She and mommy just want what’s best for you. Even though she might mess up sometimes. I miss mommy. She misses you, too. And she’s doing everything she can to get back to you right now. I have an idea. Why don’t you make a get-well card for mommy? Yay! Yay. You still haven’t told me why you were at the quartermaines’. Well, I was worried about wiley when we heard about willow’s diagnosis, and, unfortunately, I had words with michael. I know, I know. Sonny, I know. I should’ve stayed away. Hey. Alright, we just wanted to give you an update. Dr. Navarro: The baby is fine. Oh, thank god. And we’re gonna keep monitoring her, along with working with dr. Randolph on willow’s treatment. Josslyn: And willow? Willow is critical but in stable condition. I’m going to look into some clinical trials for her, but we’re running out of options. I wish I had better news.

[ Cellphone beeping ] Excuse me. I know that you’re only focused on willow right now, but I’m — I’m here if you need anything or if she needs anything, okay? Willow and the baby are gonna be alright. We have to believe that. Why is terry looking into clinical trials? I thought willow already had a match for a bone-marrow donor. She, uh… she did. We found out at her last appointment that the donor is not healthy enough to go through with the transplant.

So, you lost your baby, you were entered into a guardianship, and then you lost your husband. Man, I thought

i had some problems. Sorry. That — that — was that insensitive? Pretty much. But also weirdly refreshing. I’ve gotten so used to people treating me with kid gloves. It’s kind of nice to know that I won’t fall apart if someone says something off. I don’t know. You look pretty tough to me. I’m guessing you don’t watch the home & heart shopping network. I have never heard of it. I went on it to plug products for deception, but they spontaneously tried to add me to the next segment about a papoose-style baby carrier, and I wound up having a nervous breakdown on live television. I’m guessing that’s where the guardianship came in. Yeah. Originally, it was brando. But when he died, his mother, gladys, took over. Wait, your — your mother-in-law’s name is gladys? Why? Well, it’s just, I-I know a woman named gladys, but she’s — she’s probably not your mother-in-law, though. You would know if you met her. She’s pretty memorable. Your mommy’s gonna love this picture. It’s just what she needs to brighten up her hospital room and be reminded of how much you love her. Wiley: All done. Uncle chase, will you read me a story? Well, sure thing. Go pick one out. Oh. [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] What? You’re really good with him. So are you. The kid loves you. I mean, we shouldn’t be surprised, really. This feel familiar to you? Wasn’t all that long ago that we were living together, taking care of bailey. We make a good team. Chase, you don’t have to stay.

[ Jar slams ] It doesn’t matter what joss said, alright? That sex tape is when all our problems started. Okay, can we stop calling it that? It makes it sound like you guys willingly made one. Yeah, you’re right. We didn’T. It’s revenge porn, which is a crime, and esme should rot in jail for it. Everything was perfect before that. Okay, you’re right in that I can’t fix this for you, but you know that I’ve had my fair share of experience with heartbreak, right? And I’m not gonna pretend to know how things were with you and joss. Maybe everything was perfect before that video came out. But, in my experience, rarely is it just one thing that breaks up a couple. Josslyn: I don’t understand. Why would someone put themselves on a bone-marrow transplant list if you can’t go through with it? They must’ve had a condition they weren’t aware of when they signed up. What does this mean for willow and the baby? Willow needs a bone-marrow transplant, period. All the doctors can do right now is just buy her enough time until — until we can find another match. I got to take a walk. I think I’m gonna go to the chapel, say a prayer for willow. Let’s go. I’ll go with you. We need to put an end to this madness now. I know what I have to do.

[ Sighs ] How you doing? Yeah. It must be pretty devastating for you to know what michael’s going through. It’s never easy watching your kids suffer. And now that, you know, michael and I are estranged, it’s like, I want to give him a hug. He d– he don’t want — he don’t want it. Well — but you know what? Listen. [ Sighs ] We got to just concentrate on — on willow. We care about her so much, right? And they’re good together. I ju– I’m just feeling like I d– I don’t know what to do. Well, you’re — you’re gonna be there for them, and that’s enough. That’s a lot. I just feel like I-I just can’t abandon my son. I need to let him know that. Well, I will be here for you. And as much as they don’t want it… for michael and willow, too. You’re the one who called me over here with last-minute changes to a song that I’m supposed to sing tomorrow, and you’re kicking me out? That makes perfect sense. Oh, come on, chase. I wasn’t born yesterday. I know the only reason why you came over here was because you were worried about willow and wanted more information. And now that we know she has leukemia, I know you want to go to G.H. And see her.

[ Sighs ] Look, when nina and sonny told us the news, yes, my initial reaction was to rush over to the hospital. But is that what’s best for michael and willow? No. It’s already got to be really awkward over there because of the way michael feels about sonny. Not to mention how carly and joss feel about sonny and nina. Do they really want willow’s ex-husband in the mix? I don’t think so. Chase, it’s me you’re talking to, okay? I know how much you care about willow, and you, michael, and — and willow, you’re friends-ish again, right? Yeah, something like that. So your mind just must be going crazy with worry. Go be with them. Both of them. Really. I can take care of wiley by myself, and I can cancel tomorrow’s performance. Won’t linc throw a fit? Let me handle linc, okay? You need to do what you need to do. If I go to G.H., I’m only gonna be in the way. If the best way for me to help michael and willow is to help you keep wiley happy, then that’s what I’m gonna do. Maybe it’s just easier to blame the breakup all on esme. I mean, god knows she played a big role, so it must feel like she is responsible for everything. And it’s — it’s easy to look at one catastrophic event and be like, “yeah, that was it.” Trust me, I’ve been there. But you will only drive yourself crazy if you keep asking yourself, “what if this had never happened?” If esme didn’t make the revenge porn, if trina never went to trial, if none of those things ever happened, I am certain that josslyn and I would still be together.

[ Sighs ] But, cameron, if you — you really think about it, there were other issues, too. Like, didn’t you keep spencer’s secret that he was only pretending to believe esme, and you didn’t tell josslyn? Regardless of the reasoning, that hurt the communication between the two of you. Maybe. Still doesn’t make it hurt any less. I know. I know, I know. She was your first girlfriend. She was your first love. It’s gonna hurt. But I also know that, one day, you’ll be able to look back at the time you had with her and instead of feeling all this pain, you’ll feel grateful for what you did have. Michael. Thanks for being here. Where else would I be?

[ Sighs ] Why didn’t you tell us? Well, first of all, because willow didn’t tell me. Oh, michael. Chemo is dangerous for a baby in the first trimester, so she decided to wait.

[ Sighs ] And she didn’t want me to worry, so she didn’t tell me. And by the time she told me, she was safe to start chemo, but the leukemia had already advanced. I’m so sorry. I just… it’s willow’s fight. It’s her fight, so she can do this the way that she — she has to, but…

[ Sighs ] I mean, even after she told me, she — she didn’t want anyone else to know. Why? She thought it was the best way to protect wiley. She didn’t want him to be afraid. And, uh, he’s reaching that age now where he’s more perceptive, so she thought that if you or mom or anyone would’ve looked at her with worry that, you know… that wiley would’ve picked up on it and realized that something was wrong. I guess that makes sense. I mean, he’s a smart little boy.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Cameron? No. Uh, no, it’s someone else. Listen, is there anything I can do? I know that that feels like an empty gesture, but, really, I would do anything. Just, uh… just be here with me. It’s done.

[ Monitor beeping ] Hey. How is she? Her vitals are stable, but we’re not sure when she’s going to wake up. She’d appreciate you being here either way.

[ Beeping continues ] Willow. I need you to wake up. Oh, god. I’m so sorry. If I had known… I-I never intended anything like this to happen. You have to know that I love you like you’re my own daughter. Please wake up so I can tell you what I need to say. It may save your life. Willow?

Willow. If you can hear the sound of my voice, it’s carly.

[ Monitor beeping ] Please, please wake up.

[ Sighing ] Willow’s still sleeping. You know, I tried to wake her up, but… well, you can tell her later. We’re way past that. Will you stay with michael? Yeah, of course. Thank you. Will you tell him? Will you tell him I’m so sorry? Please. Wait, where are you going? To do what I have to do. “All you need is confidence in yourself. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. True courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty.” Good night, wiley. Good night, brook lynn. Don’t worry. I’ll stand watch. Thanks for the talk, mom. Even if you didn’t like what I had to say? You were just telling me the truth. If I continue to blame esme for josslyn breaking up with me, it’s just gonna fuel my anger. But now that I’m realizing that josslyn and i both played parts in us ending… it just makes me sad. I’m so sorry. Alright, mom, I got to finish up here. Okay. Wait, wait. Before you go, I wanted to remind you that I love you and I’m always here for you. Hey, mom. I love you, too. I read in the invader that britt died because she stepped in to rescue someone from the hook. She actually saved a life, and not just by being a doctor but being a kick-ass hero.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. And that was — that was just a week after she delivered a miracle baby on christmas right here in the quartermaine house. Brando died protecting someone, too. He was following josslyn jacks to make sure she was safe. Well, it sounds like he was a hero, also. I’m grateful that britt was in my life, even if it was for such a short time. Brando and I survived a whole lot of problems, but I still loved my life with him. Even knowing how it ended, I would do it again in a heartbeat. You know what? To britt and brando. To britt and brando. There. Finished. I’ll get out of your hair. Listen, thank you for your help. I couldn’t have done it without you.

[ Chuckles ] Now who’s being falsely modest? Okay, I could have done it without you. And I’m glad I didn’t have to.

[ Sighs ] It was a pleasure. I like spending time with you. This was fun. Have a good night. You, too.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Taylor: Because of me?

Steffy: Mom, we didn’t have a choice. If we told the judge that sheila shot us, then bill would tell the cops that you shot him all those years ago.

Taylor: Why? Why? He promised he would never say anything.

Steffy: Now, he won’T.

Taylor: What?

Steffy: Remember the night with the storm?

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: Sheila showed up here.

Finn: We were about to call the police when bill appeared and stopped us.

Steffy: Yeah. Bill told us to let her go, and when we refused, he blackmailed us. He tied sheila’s freedom to yours.

Taylor: My god. Why? Why would he do this?

Steffy: You’re not gonna believe this, mom, but something’s going on between sheila and bill.

Sheila: I’ve been hiding for so long, I almost forgot what freedom felt like. I could– I could just scream with relief, joy and gratitude. I– I knew you said that you would get me off… I believed it. I just, there was a part of me that was– I was still scared. When I finally heard the judge say those words, “you are free to go,” I just– I couldn’t believe it. Yes. Look at me. Here I am. A free woman again.

Bill: Freedom looks good on you. A lot better than that disguise.

Sheila: Thank you. I appreciate it. And you are the reason why I am a free woman.

Katie: So, I’m assuming someone is keeping ridge in the loop?

Brooke: Steffy talks to him the most.

Katie: But you’ve heard from him too, right?

Brooke: Yeah. A few times. He’s still travelling. I think this time away has been really good for him.

Katie: For you as well. I don’t remember the last time I’ve seen you so at ease. I really admire the way you’ve handled this, brooke.

Brooke: Why, thank you. Taylor and I were just talking about what a difference it’s made.

Katie: Yeah, well, you’re talking. You’re not smearing paint and cake all over each other.

Brooke: Oh, yeah. It’s amazing. For so long, we’ve been adversaries, and then we just took ridge out of the occasion and I could see how much we actually have in common. We love our kids, we’re so devoted to them, to our careers. We’re fiercely protective of our families.

Katie: Well, you’ve had to be with sheila carter around. But today, that’s all going to change after steffy and finn give their testimony to the judge, sheila won’t be a threat ever again.

Brooke: Thank god.

Sheila: I– I’m never going to forget the look on steffy’s face when the judge dropped all the charges. I really think she and finn thought he would keep me locked up.

Bill: If they testified, he would have.

Sheila: Yeah, but you made sure that they didn’T.

Bill: They thought he’d keep you in custody anyway.

Sheila: For what? Breaking out of jail? Mike changed his story. He forced me out of there and the judge said that he even had video evidence or was that just the way he was supposed to interpret it? This is unbelievable. Everyone thought that my case was going to be open and shut, but there was no real evidence. I mean, there’s no video footage of the shooting. No forensics. And the only eye witness chose to not testify against me. And that was because of you. My hero. You really are my hero.

Taylor: So, something is going on between bill and sheila? Did you mean like… romantically?

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: No, no, no. Bill called the police on sheila. He’s– he’s a hero. He turned her in.

Steffy: After making sure we would testify against her. They planned the whole thing.

Taylor: Okay, okay. So, bill’s loyalty is to sheila carter, the woman who almost killed you both? Kids can change minds…

Katie: Gosh, I didn’t realize how stressed out I was about sheila until she was caught.

Brooke: Oh, I know. The feeling is incredible.

Katie: Taylor and her family must feel the same way.

Brooke: I’m sure they’ll feel even better once finn and steffy give their testimony. Sheila will be locked away for good.

Katie: Thank god.

Brooke: Then, you can go back to focusing on your love life.

Katie: I’m just trying not to overthink it.

Brooke: Well, this gorgeous, intelligent, luscious c-o-o of ours has been thinking about you.

Katie: Has carter said something to you?

Brooke: Well, maybe you should ask him yourself. Oh.

Katie: Oh, hi.

Brooke: Hi there. We were just talking about you.

Katie: What is it? What’s wrong?

Carter: I have some shocking news.

Katie: What?

Carter: Sheila carter has been released from jail.

Sheila: And you’re happy for me, aren’t you?

Bill: Of course I am. I can see how relieved you are.

Sheila: It’s– it’s unbelievable. I mean, to think that I could walk out that door and there’s nothing that anyone can do to me? That I don’t need a disguise or– or to fear being caught? I’m no longer a fugitive. I’m also not a monster. I know I’ve made mistakes. I’ve realized that. Big ones. But I did it out of fear. I hurt the ones that I love, but it wasn’t intentional and I am not evil. You know that. And you looked into my eyes, into my heart and you understand the woman that I truly am. And you didn’T… you didn’t hold my past against me. Or my terrible reputation. You understood me and that strength and that… and that intense passion that we share. You never looked at me like I was a villain. You gave me another chance and for that, I am going to be forever grateful.

Taylor: Okay, so– so sheila’s a free woman because of bill spencer?

Finn: We’re as sad and sickened as you are.

Taylor: Oh, my god. This can’t be happening! She left you in an alley to die. She held you hostage! She almost killed li and now she’s free to walk? She’s free to go on with her life?

Steffy: We didn’t think that was a possibility, mom. There were other charges.

Taylor: Exactly! Yes! There were! She– she escaped from jail. The judge doesn’t need your testimony to hold her for that.

Finn: Except she didn’t break out.

Taylor: Yes, she did!

Finn: N– not if you believe the story that was concocted claiming that mike guthrie forced her to leave with him.

Taylor: Mike guthrie, her accomplice.

Steffy: Based on a sworn affidavit, it was his idea to bust her out. Sheila was kidnapped.

Taylor: Now, they’re making her the victim?

Finn: Apparently, there’s security footage.

Steffy: The whole thing is bogus, mom. Bill is behind all of it. He has the judge bought and paid for. He orchestrated the whole thing.

Taylor: What is he thinking? He’s kelly’s grandfather! Does he have any idea how dangerous this is for all of us?

Steffy: Bill’s clearly lost his mind, mom. And he will do whatever he can to protect sheila.

Taylor: You and my grandbabies are the ones that need protecting. Hayes! You know she’s gonna try and go after him. You know she is! There’s gotta be another way to make her pay for what she’s done. There’s only one way that I can think of and we both know what that is. Hi, I’m jason and I’ve lost 202 pounds on golo.

Brooke: There is no way. It can’t be true.

Carter: I didn’t believe it either.

Katie: Sheila attempted murder.

Brooke: She needs to be locked up. She was.

Carter: Now, she isn’T.

Katie: How do you know this?

Carter: I got a call from a colleague at the courthouse.

Katie: I– I don’t understand what’s going on.

Brooke: Okay, wait. Finn and steffy were just there. They were going to give their testimony to the judge about sheila shooting them.

Katie: Not only that, she escaped from prison. She faked her own death. They can’t just let her go.

Brooke: She is a dangerous criminal. She needs to be behind bars.

Carter: I agree, but that’s not what happened. Sheila was released. She walked out of that courthouse totally free.

Sheila: So, how long before they start showing up with pitchforks and torches?

Bill: I don’t know and I don’t care. I told security to let them through. Get it out of the way.

Sheila: Yeah, but you know that they’re not just coming for me. Bill, once they find out I’m here, you’re gonna be in for it too. You realize I didn’t want it to be like this, not for any of us. What happened in the alley that night really was a terrible, terrible accident. I love my son. He’s my flesh and blood. I love steffy too. Just really wish things could’ve been different.

Steffy: No. N– no. No. I’m not listening to this. What’s done is done.

Taylor: Yes, but steffy, I can undo it.

Steffy: No, you can’t! I won’t let you.

Taylor: Listen, I know that you are just trying to protect me and I love you so much for that, but I am not going to put my family in danger.

Steffy: No, you aren’t, mom. Sheila is the danger.

Taylor: Yes! Yes, she is and she needs to be in prison. Finn, I am so sorry that you had to learn what happened that night. I gave into my– my darkest, most uh– most violent instincts and I… I committed a horrible crime.

Finn: And I know why.

Steffy: Mom, you weren’t yourself when you shot bill.

Taylor: No. I know that wasn’t me. I just– I– I can’t believe that bill is– is blackmailing you to stay quiet so you won’t testify. It doesn’t make any sense. So much for him keeping his word about what happened that night and it’s all to defend sheila carter, a literal psychopath. My god. I can’t let that happen. I can’T. I will confess. I will confess to– to shooting bill and he’ll have nothing to hold against you. You– you can tell the judge exactly what happened in the alley that night and then sheila will spend the rest of her life rotting behind bars, where she belongs. Having diabetes can raise a lot of questions.

Sheila: I really was hoping I could get through to finn and steffy and show them that we really could co-exist regardless of our past. Finn is my son and I… I love him. He’s of my blood and hayes is my grandson and we’re connected and nothing is ever gonna change that. I don’t know. Maybe I was just hoping for too much. You know, I was just being naive.

Bill: It’s hard to give up on family.

Sheila: Yeah, but that’s all I ever wanted. Even– even that night in the alley, I– I begged steffy to– to try and accept me. Not turn my son against me and now, all I want is to be forgiven. Now, I just think that that day is probably never going to come.

[ Bill sighing ]

Bill: I can’t promise you that you will be part of finn and steffy’s lives, but I give you my word, you’ll never have to worry about your freedom. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect you, keep you out of prison.

Sheila: You are an incredibly generous man, bill spencer. And what you’ve done for me is more than money could ever, ever buy. You’ve given me my freedom and my future. I owe you my life.

Taylor: Sheila and bill will not get away with this.

Steffy: They already are. Sheila’s out. She’s roaming free.

Taylor: Okay, not for long.

Steffy: Mom, you weren’t there. You didn’t hear the things bill was saying about sheila.

Taylor: No, but I can– I can hear the fear in your voice. I can see it on your husband’s face. Knowing that sheila is out there, wondering when she’s gonna snap again, what she can do to my children and grandchildren?

Finn: I won’t let that happen.

Taylor: No, I’m going to make sure that it never happens. I am going to go baker, I’m going to tell him exactly what happened the night bill spencer was shot. That I was in a maternal rage. Every– everything inside of me, I just– I just lost it. All I could think about in that moment was– was wanting bill out of our lives for– permanently. I have tried for so many years to just try and make some kind of peace for what I did, but I can’T. I have to come forward. I have to say what I did. I do.

Steffy: No, no, no, no.

Taylor: For everybody.

Steffy: I know you. You wanna do the right thing, but what you’re suggesting might not even help. We told you. Bill owns the judge. Mom, if you confess, you could go to prison and sheila, she still might be free. How is that protecting our family?

Finn: Look, if you want to keep your grandkids safe, help us keep sheila away.

Taylor: No, I want her to be away forever. I– I want her to go to jail.

Steffy: Mom, you are a good person. We need you. Kelly and hayes need you. Douglas needs you. We can’t lose you. You can’t– you can’t say anything. Promise me you won’t say anything about shooting bill. Your future, your freedom, is not worth putting sheila away.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Lucas Rex?

It’s good to see you.

Hold on just a second.

Jen. Hi. I’m sorry for showing up without calling. I just wanted to see how you were doing. I’m, uh, doing, um,

honestly, I don’t, I don’t really know how to answer that,

of course.

Now losing someone you love so suddenly you understand all too well. I know that.

Is there anything I can do to help? No, but I appreciate you asking. My dad is, um, taking care of most of the arrange.

Well, I just wanted to stop by and see if he needed anything.

Hey, . Hey, um, how’s, how’s Dad doing? He’s pretty broken up about Kayla, but Bonnie’s been really great with him, I have to say. Yeah, I’m sure. I, I just, I can’t believe this, this wonderful woman is gone just because, you know, some evil bastard wanted to get a little even or something. I’m sorry man. I just feel so bad for our kids.

Stephanie trip, Joey. I mean, I, I, I know what it’s like to lose a mother. Oh my God, my uncle Steve. I just, I, I can’t even imagine what he’s going through.

Oh, sweetness.

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

No touching. Come on. Cut us a break. Our mom just died. You were on thin nights after what happened? Withs yesterday. Don’t make me tell you again.

What’s she talking about? Nothing doesn’t sound.

After you told me about what happened to mom, I was upset. I was really upset about what Orpheus did, so I attacked him. Don’t worry, he’s, he’s okay. He’s fine.

But after Orpheus found out what happened to mom, he, uh, He decided to express his sympathy about the whole thing. And, uh, he gave me this, you know, you know, he’s the pain,

so we able to get a flight back. Yeah, he, uh, he nabbed the first seat on standby. Good. So then he’ll be here soon. Let’s hope. I mean, you’re, him is saying goodbye to his grandma Kate. We’re all hoping that Grandma Marlene is gonna pull through, but God forbid he doesn’t. I’m just hoping he gets back in time to say goodbye to her.

Well, I get that. Hey, um, did Stephanie. I mean, was she able to be there with her mother? Did she at least get to say goodbye? No, she didn’t.

This was so sweet of the kids

last night, I told them that their great-aunt Kayla went to Heaven and explained to them that she was your mom. And they wanted to make that for you.

After my mom died, my dad read me some of the Lenic books and it made me feel less sad. If you want, you and I can read them together sometime. They’re really funny. Especially the bad mood and the stick. Love Thomas. What a sweetheart. Charlotte wanted to write something so I had to help her a little bit.

I’m sorry, your mommy died. Mine died too.

I miss my mommy.

My love,

this still doesn’t seem real.

You were so tough. You fought that virus with everything you had. I really thought you were gonna, you were gonna beat it. I really did.

When I woke up this morning, I turned toward you like I always do.

I expected to see you there lying next to me.

I mean, even now, I still expect you to walk through the.

Why the hell would or excuse that to you? He’s trying to get me to fall off the wagon. But I didn’t touch it. I didn’t even open it. I didn’t take a trial. Okay, so then why not just get rid of it? Because it sucks in here. That’s why. And I am tempting. You have no idea what it’s like. I, I’m sure it sucks, and I can only imagine how much you wanted, all the pain.

But Lucas, this, this is, I know, I know. I won’t, I won’t let Lord swear. I promise you. I’ll try my best. I will try to stay strong. Okay. You know what? If not for you, do it for mom. You need the bottle. Lucas, this is the last thing that you’ve won. Hey, you two. Oh, Roman. Oh. Such a terrible, terrible tragedy. Oh, honey, our hearts go out to you.

Hey buddy. Right? I’m sorry. Oh, I’m so sorry. How can we help? I’m sure there are 1,000,001 things that need to be taken care of. Wait. Whatever you need. Well, uh, you know, I appreciate the offer, but, uh, Steve’s he’s taken care of. Kayla’s arrangements and Kate’s well, there’s not a whole lot to help with there either.

Uh, Kate didn’t want a funeral. Oh, then what did she want? This

Jayla. I’m sorry, I should have not. No, it’s not necessary. Come on in.

I hope I’m not bothering you. Steph told me that you were here at the. Yeah, I had to come here and sign some papers so they could release Kayla’s body to the funeral home, and I just wandered in here. I have, I had a feeling that this is where I find you,

all the things are here, just the way she.

Silly, silly, colorful reading glasses she always wore.

Got her water bottle here.

Oh,

Stephanie made this for her mom, her second grade, I think.

Kayla told me that she liked having pieces of us here

cuz it reminded her that her patients had families too. People who loved them just as much as she loved us.

She, she always did everything she could to send them home to their families

so they wouldn’t have to go through.

I’m so sorry. Sorry, what do you mean? Sorry? Why? Well, it’s just after everything that you’ve been through, I don’t, you don’t need to see me falling apart like this. No. Listen to me. What I, what I need to do. Is be here for you, helping you comforting you a little. If I can,

it’ll help my heart. I’m doing this for purely selfish reasons. You’re being very kind.

And your mom. She was a wonderful woman.

Anytime I was around her, she, she lifted my spirit.

Abby loved her. I loved her.

Everybody loved your mom. She loved Abigail too, and

it’s just the hardest thing about it right now is that I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. Joey and Tripp, they got to talk to her on the phone and they’re all the way in Seattle. I’m right here in town and not even five minutes from the hospital. I’m sorry,

you finally had gone to the hospital just a little bit sooner. I could have held her in my arms one last time, and I could have told her how much I loved her and I, what a great mom she was. Look at me.

She knew.

I can’t believe I missed your messages. I, I can’t believe I missed your calls.

Stephanie came over here last night with me and we slept together for the first time. Then Chad showed up. He told her that her mother was dying. That’s my fault that she didn’t get there in time. Alex, come on. It’s not your fu there, there’s um, a million reasons why Chad wouldn’t have been able to reach her.

She, uh, Stephanie could have been doing anything. She could have been at dinner, at a movie. She could have been asleep. You, you can’t blame yourself just cuz you were, you know, making them off. Oh, Sonny, that’s not, that’s not why I blame myself. And then why else? I blame myself because Chad was trying to. I turned her phone off.

I’m so sorry you didn’t get my calls when you didn’t answer your phone. I, I did everything I could to find you. I, I had remembered that you and Alex were going to the bistro, so I went to the Bist. It was closed and then I just, I took a gamble and um, went to his house, which is where I was obviously.

And what’s driving me crazy is that you were kind enough to try to call me multiple times, and I never even heard the damn phone ring.

Must have just turned it.

I must have. It’s the only possible explanation. It’s just I don’t remember doing it. You turned her phone off, son. It’s not like I knew Chad was calling to tell her that her mother was dying. Okay. Fun. Why would you turn her phone off in the first place? Because I didn’t, I didn’t want him to be interrupting us.

A again, what do you mean again? It happened on Christmas two, sunny Stephanie and I, we were about to make love for the first time, and then Chad shows up upset and then Stephanie feels for him and lets him stay. Okay. I, I, I see why that could be frustrating. Oh, it’s more than frustrating, man. What was supposed to turn out is this romantic evening.

Really ends up just being the three of us playing video games. And I understand that he’s your best friend at all. I get it. I get it. But he’s the definition of a third wheel. Alex cut the guy a brake. He just lost his wife in the worst way possible. He probably just doesn’t wanna be alone. That I know that.

And I get it, and I feel for him. I really do. But like I said, this is getting ridiculous, man. I, I, I, I just had a meeting scheduled with Stephanie yesterday. Instead, she goes ice skating with, with, with Chad and the. It’s like every time I turn around, this guy’s there and, and, and, and

I, I don’t know. I don’t know. I, I, I saw him calling and Anthony, you turned her phone off without her now. Yes. Without her knowing, obviously. I thought maybe it was just the kids calling to say goodnight. I thought it was harmless. Sunny that maybe she. Call him back, man. I had no idea that she wouldn’t be able to say goodbye to her mom.

I’m sorry. No, no. Don’t be sorry. I should be the one. Sorry, I, I didn’t mean to intrude. I can come back. No, no. Fine. Really? You sure? I’m sure. I’m good now. So tell me, what do you got? Well, unfortunately not much at the moment. If Kristen is telling the truth, we’re gonna track down whoever stole that orchid ray working on it right now.

He’s a team at the Damaris. We are searching every inch of that secret room. I sure hope you find that orchid. It may be too late for Mike, Kayla and Kate. But I sure do hope Marlena can be spared.

Yeah. Was Kate’s express wishes to be cremated? So, uh, here she is. Well not her obviously, but, uh, it’s still very comforting to have this close to me. Of course, it. Yeah, I mean, you know, I always thought it was strange, you know, I am carrying around that room with Tony’s Ices and, uh, talking to it like he was still here, but, uh, kind of get it now, kind of understand whatever helps buddy.

Except, uh, I’m not sure it is helping, you know, I did say that it. Very comforting cabinet here with me, but uh, actually I just, uh, I am numb right now. Jesus doesn’t, doesn’t feel real. And I guess that’s what they call. Denial, right? Yes, of course. Of course. You’re in denial losing your, your wife and your sister.

It is too much. You’re right, Paul. It is. It’s way too much.

It’s alright.

Fine. Take it. Thank you. Thank you for saving me for myself. Hey, you’re my brother. We have to be there for each other, especially now.

Speak bitch. Have you told Billy and Austin yet? I, I spoke with Austin yesterday and he’s trying to get in touch with Billy. On an assignment somewhere, and oh, Cassie spoke with Cassie and now everyone knows not everybody. What, who, who else is there? You gotta tell Phillip. It’s Phillip, Philip. He’s been missing for a year.

Lucas, I, I didn’t wanna believe it, but I just, That he died. Rex, my brother Phillip is very much alive.

Phillip is in a mental institution. How do you know this? Listen to me. Remember when we thought the Brady stabbed Phillip? Yeah. Phillip Framed. What? Yeah, he, he was outta control man. He was in a complete jealous rage over Chloe. He lost it. He had a breakdown, and, and if anyone knew about that, he’d, he’d probably be in here with me.

And mom was okay with this. Mom didn’t think that Philip could handle prisons. Shane Victor said him away, you know, somewhere where he could get better, hopefully. But, She wanted to do the same thing for me, but I wouldn’t let her,

doesn’t surprise me. This is vintage mom, right? ? Yep. Even when the chips were down. She was always looking out for her kids.

Oh, oh, oh honey. It’s more than you should have to bear losing your, your wife and your sister one night after the other. Oh, such wonderful women, and you are your beautiful sister, Kayla. Well, I didn’t know her too well, but she always made me feel welcome here in.

Oh, and Kate. Well, she and I, we knew each other a little bit better. She was direct, honest. Ah, you did not have to guess what that woman was thinking about . It was like someone else I knew. Right. That’s why she and I ended up with a really good connect. Because when we got to talking, really talking, we found we had a a lot in common.

We both been through some bad times with bad men. We, we survived. We got stronger for it. Yeah, no. Talking to Kate that day, I felt like I’d met a kendred spirit. I was, I was lucky to know her.

I remember when I was, Uh, my father would speak very highly of Kayla. He would say how wonderful she was and how, how lucky you were to have found her. Yeah, my old buddy Marcus sure was right about that. And just living in Salem these past few months, I’ve really got to see how amazing Kayla was. She was thought.

Caring. She was. She gave her all, and not just to her friends and family, to her patients. It was really important to her, but her patients felt respected.

But the kids and. We were the lucky ones as we had her. Love Steve. You still do. She lives on through your kids

and her love. Her love will always stay with you te it’s here in your heart.

So you don’t remember turn off your phone? No, but I know it was off because this morning when I went to check my emails, I had to turn it back on. I must have turned it off when I was with Alex.

Maybe he just didn’t wanna be disturbed. I guess

I remember we were in his room and then I went into the bathroom to change. It’s probably when he did it, I guess, but I just, I don’t remember doing it. Damn, man. If I could go back in time, I would give. Anything not to have turned that damn phone off. I’m sure you’re not the only one. As soon as Chad got there, we raced over to the hospital, but it was too late.

My God, if we just got there a little bit sooner, should would’ve been able to see her mom one last time, that now she’s beating herself. She didn’t get there. She didn’t get a chance to say goodbye,

so whatcha you gonna do? I don’t think there’s anything I can do. Sonny. I obviously can’t fix this. No, you can’t. Five. Or what? You can tell Stephanie the truth, come clean about what really happened.

Getting a little misty in here. I better go fix my makeup.

You. A really good one. I know. And I appreciate all the good things she said about, uh, Kate Kayla.

Yeah, but she, she meant every word. She, uh, she was fond of both women and. Buddy, how close I was to both Kate and Kayla and, uh, love Kayla almost as if she were my own sister. Yeah, Kate. Well, we, we had our issues over the years, but we ended up being very good friends.

She did Dad, she did drive me crazy sometimes though. you, me both part. Oh, that’s because she was, well, the woman, she was a force to be reckoned with. Oh. Oh. That she was , you know, when she wanted something. When she wanted something for herself or for. Somebody else. She, she made sure she got it.

you have to go to the sanitarium. You have to tell Philip what happened. Where is he? Roman can give you the details for, my dad knows about this too. Mom wasn’t gonna lie to him. She told him everything. Trust me, he’ll be able to point you in the right.

Okay. Okay. I’ll go. Thank you. I, I know you’ll break the news to him, Jim. Of course, I will. Look, I don’t wanna make his life any worse or more difficult than it already is, besides, now that mom’s gone, we siblings have to stick together.

You know, I understand why you can’t stop replaying what happened last. Trying to figure out why you, why you didn’t get the messages.

Marlena told me,

she told me that, um, thinking that you could change the outcome is just a, a way to feel like you still have some control. Yeah. That sounds about right.

When Abby died,

I kept thinking that, you know, if I just hadn’t taken the kids to see a movie, or, you know, if we had gone to Boston that night that things would be different.

It took me a long time to realize that it wasn’t my.

There was no way that I could’ve known what was gonna happen. No one ever knows. No. No one ever knows.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry to keep harping on this, but Chad, I hardly ever turn my phone off, so for it to be off. Just when I needed it more in my entire life to be reachable.

I’m sorry that, that, that’s making this so much harder for you. It is. Because when I saw that you called, I just wanted to, I just wanted to turn back time and answer the phone so that you could tell me about mom and then I would’ve run to the hospital to. And I would’ve held her in my arms and I would’ve told her what a great mom she was.

I can’t tell Stephanie the truth, son. Are you kidding me? She’ll hate me. Besides, it’s not like it’s gonna change anything now anyway. No, it’s not gonna change what happened last night, but it can change what happens from now. I mean, do, do you really wanna start your relationship with this, this huge secret hanging over your head?

That’s the whole point we just started. If I tell her this, that’s it. We’re done. Okay. But if you don’t, what kind of relationship are you gonna have? Listen, you said that you really care about Stephanie. I do. Then you’re comfortable lying to her about something this important.

Okay, your standing lunch order, I made sure the cheese on your panini is melted, just the way you like it. Thanks. But I didn’t come here just for lunch. No. You know, with everything going on, I haven’t had a moment to tell you how sorry I am about Kayla and Kate. Thank you, Jay. That means a lot. I mean, I’m sure it goes without saying how I felt about Kayla, but I wanted you to know how kind Kate was to me.

Well, I know she liked you a lot and uh, she was a good person to have in your corner.

I sure was lucky to have her and Mar visiting. I was over. I was just gonna leave.

Thanks for coming. Thank you for everything. Of course, man, Lord. Take care of yourself, okay? Not just for your sake. The sake of everyone who cares about you, including me, right?

You tell your buddy Orpheus to stop pushing booze on my brother or I will talk to your warden and I will have you fired. Kate Roberts kids stick together. All right.

Hey. Yeah, come in. I’m sure I am. Come on.

I ran into Jada at the pub. Oh, and she told you where you could find me. Huh? . I appreciate you checking up on me, man. But, uh, I’m, I’m fine. I just had to come down and make some arrangements. Can I help you with anything? No, I can handle it, but thanks Steve. Um, I, I, I know you, you know, the K was one of my closest friends.

Yeah. I was far from the only one. Your wife. She, well, she touched so many lives. And for those of us who, who loved her and would love to by her, what we want to do, what would make her happy? And right now, right now, that means looking after you.

Thanks buddy. Thank you.

Thank you for coming by and saying all the right things. Yeah. I don’t know if I didn’t.

I’m around if you want to talk. Thank you. I appreciate that. And please thank Thomas and Charlotte for my card. Yeah, I will. I love it. They’re crazy about you. You know.

Don’t hesitate to call me. Okay. Day, night, doesn’t matter. I’ll be here. I won’t. Thank you.

Of course I’m not comfortable lying to Steph. I wasn’t trying to hurt her, Sonny. I just made a mistake. Yeah, I know. But this mistake is eating you up inside and, and the longer that you keep her in the dark, the longer you’re gonna be haunted by it. And what, what if she figures the truth out on her own then?

I wish you figured that out. I don’t know, but it, it sure is how possible. And then she’ll know that you didn’t just turn off her phone, but you lied about it too. So wouldn’t it be better if she just found out the truth from you?

Hey son. Hey dad. I just came from seeing Lucas. How is he holding up? As best he can. He also told me about. Yeah, I am really sure about that. You know what, I am really the one that should have told you. No, no. Look, you, you just were doing what you thought was best for him. He wants me to go to the sanitarium.

Tell Philip about mom. I think you should. Okay. I’ve you sure? I don’t wanna leave you alone right now, pres. I appreciate your concern, but I’ll manage. Okay. I want you to go correct. All right. Phil needs to know what happened and you are the best person to tell him. You’re sure about that? Yes, I am sure.

And not only that, which mom would find, okay.

Oh, big track. Hey, sunny. Um, Look, I’m, I’m sorry about Kate. Thank you. And I’m sorry about your Aunt Kayla. I just saw Steph. How’s she doing? It’s a stupid question. She’s, she’s in a lot of grief. She know I’m obsessing about not getting my call to tell her about her mom, which is, which is why she didn’t get to say goodbye to her last night.

That’s, that’s gotta be tougher. She’s in a lot of pain, beating herself up for turning off her phone.

I’m go freshen up. I’ll be right.

Hey, I just stopped by to check on you.

I’m. Because there’s something I have to ask you. Okay,

Alex, last night. When I went into the bathroom to change, did you turn my phone off?

Chelsea: I’m sorry. Did you say reschedule? Well, isn’t there any way dr. Malone can fit me in after — okay. Um, I understand.

[ Knock on door ] Can you just hold on one second? Thanks.

Victor: This a bad time?

Lily: Hey. This is a surprise.

Billy: Yeah, well, when i woke up in the guest room this morning, I thought I would give you a little bit of space, given where we left things.

Lily: So, what are you doing here now?

Billy: Play a game with me.

Lily: Um…a game?

Billy: Come on. Pick one. For old time’s sake.

Lily: Um…that one.

Billy: Hmm? Do you remember?

Lily: Valentine’s day, 2022.

Billy: Yes. That’s right. You remember. It took a lot to find the exact one that I gave you last year.

Lily: Yeah, I remember you filled my desk with them. It was very special.

Billy: Yes, it was. I don’t want to give up on us, lily. That little piece of sweetness is a reminder the millions of incredible things that we’ve shared and the possibility of millions more. I don’t want to walk away from this. Do you?

Sharon: I brewed this pot especially for you.

Chance: Oh, wow. Thank you. What do I, uh — what do i detect, a hint of?

Cardamom, peppercorns, clove, and cinnamon.

Chance: Oh, wow. That’s why it smells so incredible.

Sharon: Well, I was inspired to add a little spice after our first supper club dinner.

Chance: That was fun.

Sharon: Yeah. I even decided to do a little research and take a look at what other types of cuisines we might be tempted by.

Chance: Great minds.

Sharon: Oh. You too?

Chance: Yep, and I got one question for you. How far off the beaten path are you willing to go?

Sharon: That’s a really good question. Hmm. Let me think. I’d be willing to try anything and everything.

Chance: You serious?

Sharon: Yeah, absolutely. Life is short. You got to use all of your taste buds, live on the edge. No more solo dinner ruts.

Chance: Ah, well, alright. Bring on the world, then.

Sharon: Why don’t you try that moroccan spiced coffee? It was the first time I ever made it, and I’m not sure how it turned out.

Chance: [ Chuckles ] Well, thank you. I appreciate the warning. Ooh, yeah. Not bad.

Victor: Someone waiting on the phone?

Chelsea: Oh, um… uh, I’m gonna have to get back to you. Thanks. Come on in.

Victor: Thank you. I hope it wasn’t important.

Chelsea: No, no, it’s nothing that can’t wait. Um…

[ Door closes ] Have a seat. Would you like a cup of coffee or something?

Victor: No. No, thank you.

Chelsea: Okay. You know, I meant to tell you, connor really loves that soccer video game you got him.

Victor: Really?

Chelsea: Mm-hmm.

Victor: That’s nice.

Chelsea: Yeah. And recently adam told — told him how you were the first person to get him a soccer ball.

Victor: So, he remembered?

Chelsea: Yeah. Yeah. Fondly.

Victor: That’s so nice. I think it — it made connor feel important, you know, like he’s part of a family tradition.

Victor: He is. And you know how important family is to me.

Chelsea: I witnessed that firsthand on christmas.

Victor: [ Breathes deeply ] Do you have any idea why I’m here?

Chelsea: Well, I know you’re not one for small talk, so

[Sighs] I assume I’m about to find out. Only daisy cottage cheese will do

Devon: Lily. Hey. I’m working from home today, taking care of dominic. But I just wanted to make sure that you had some free time to meet with me later ’cause I have something important to discuss with you and I want to make sure you hear it from me first. So, I’ll talk to you soon.

[ Sighs ] I have a feeling your great grandmother is probably pretty disappointed in me right now. And I’m worried that when lily hears the news, things are gonna get even worse.

Lily: What if I had chosen your other hand?

[ Chuckles ] I wish our relationship were that easy to rig. But we can’t go back, billy.

Billy: No. We can’T. But we know where we’re coming from. And, look, that first couples counseling session was a disaster, okay? But that was 45 minutes with someone that doesn’t know us. But I agree that we need to put more effort in. I need to put more effort in since I acknowledge that I’m the problem here.

Lily: We would still wind up in the same place. The things that we said during that session — I’ve been feeling that way for months. And I know you have, too. You just don’t want to admit it.

Billy: Lily, we love each other. Those feelings don’t just vanish into thin air.

Lily: Billy, I loved you every single day, and we still drifted apart. I mean, it’s clear to me that you are dissatisfied with your life. You’re dissatisfied with our relationship.

Billy: No, that’s just simply not true.

Lily: Okay, then the alternative is worse then. I mean, are you happy with being in this place where we’re barely even roommates?

Billy: This is just a moment. And we’ll get past it.

Lily: Billy, after that session, I realized that relationships should not hurt this much.

Chelsea: Victor newman popping by for a visit. I’m trying to decide between fight or flight mode.

Victor: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. I come here in peace.

Chelsea: I’m sure you can understand why I’d be a bit reticent.

Victor: Because of recent events?

Chelsea: Yeah. Um… I’m just — I’m not sure how much you’ve been told?

Victor: Well, I’m victoria’s father and johnny’s grandfather.

Chelsea: Right. So, this is about me telling johnny I’m his biological mom.

Victor: And by the way, i want you to know that that is fine with me, okay? And I also am very, very happy that johnny and connor are growing closer together as brothers.

Chelsea: Yeah. It’s heartwarming, isn’t it? They’ve gotten so close.

Victor: Very heartwarming. And I want it to stay that way.

Chelsea: Did something happen?

Victor: Well… over the holidays, you spent christmas with us, and i remember how adam and victoria were paying particularly close attention to you.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Oh. Um, well, you know, it’s the holidays. Everyone’s nicer around the holidays. I wouldn’t — I wouldn’t read too much into it.

Victor: Chelsea, I hate to bring up recent memories, but you do remember how I prevented them from charging you for the attempted murder of rey rosales, right?

Chelsea: How could I forget? What’s your point?

Victor: I’m here to help you again, if you need it.

Chance: You know what we should do? We should get a huge map and some darts.

Sharon: Hmm. Well, if you mean leave it all up to fate, I’ll say —

Abby: Chance. Sharon, hi.

Sharon: Hi. Abby! Um, can I interest you in some moroccan spiced coffee?

Abby: I’m good. Thank you, though.

Sharon: Alright. Uh, let us know if you need anything.

Abby: Thanks.

> Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

Chance: Sure.

Abby: Out there.

Chance: Yeah.

Abby: [ Sighs ] You know, when I walked in and I saw you smiling, I almost didn’t recognize you. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you look that happy.

Chance: Is everything alright with dom?

Abby: Yeah. He’s fine.

Chance: Is there a problem? You need something?

Abby: I just wanted to tell you that I’ve come to a decision. 3, 4

Chance: You do realize you don’t have to check in with me about your life decisions anymore, right?

Abby: This decision involves you.

Chance: Okay. What is it?

Abby: I’m thinking about moving out.

Chance: I — I hope you don’t feel like I’ve hinted at that or expect you to just pack up and leave. That’s not the case.

Abby: No, I know. You’ve been very gracious in that respect. I just think it’s time.

Chance: Okay. Well, I guess this can mean only one thing — that you’re ready to move in and move on with devon.

Abby: [ Sighing ]

Billy: I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I’ve caused you so much pain.

Lily: I’m not blaming you for anything. I’m not. I’m just emotionally exhausted. And now I have this nightmare brewing with the ipo, and i can’t talk to you about it.

Billy: Well, yeah, you can. You can talk to me about anything. Look, I know I don’t work here anymore, but I still care.

Lily: I can’T. It’s classified. I have a meeting with devon. I have a call with jill scheduled.

Billy: Okay, so, what are you saying? My time with you is up? Is that it? Is that how this ends, like a bad business meeting that you just want to move on from?

Lily: Billy, this is not easy for me. You might think that I’m the one ending things, but you walked away from us a long time ago. And I understand your need of wanting to find where you belong, but clearly the path you’re taking does not lead towards me. And I really want you to be happy. I do. But I can’t sit back any longer just waiting for that to happen. And what we had — it was beautiful.

[ Voice breaking ] It was. But not every relationship is meant to last forever.

Billy: Well, I thought we could.

Lily: I will always be grateful to you for being a loving partner. After my marriage ended, you helped me find missing pieces of myself. After cane, after prison, after losing my father.

Billy: And now you’re strong enough to go about it on your own.

Lily: And I loved working with you. I loved building chanccomm, building chancellor, merging into chancellor-winters I loved it all. It was so special. And all of the romantic dinners after hours, the chocolates, the being tangled up in each other at night. We were perfect. Until we weren’T. And now it’s over.

Chelsea: I appreciate your offer to help, but it really isn’t necessary.

Victor: I want you to know that my only concern is the welfare of my grandson, okay?

Chelsea: Connor’s doing fine. There’s nothing for you to worry about.

Victor: But he’s a growing boy now, and I don’t want him to be burdened with the problems of the adults around him.

Chelsea: How could you even imagine I would let that happen?

Victor: Something is troubling you. And I want you to know that I’ll be here to help you if you need that help. You’re a part of our family now. And when someone in my family falls down, the rest of us come and help them get up, okay? You know, nikki and I love that boy. We really do. And being a grandparent is like being a parent. One is only as happy as the unhappiest child.

Chelsea: That’s true, but connor is — he’s the happiest kid I know.

Victor: And we want him to stay that way.

Chelsea: Yeah. Well, I’m glad we’re on the same page, and I will let you know if we need anything, but, truly, connor’s thriving.

Victor: Okay. Just remember, if you want to take a break, if you want to get away for a while, nikki and I — we’ll be there. We’ll step in, alright? We’ll take care of the boy, okay?

Chelsea: Okay.

[ Knock on door ]

Adam: Hey, chelsea. It’s me. Hi.

Chelsea: Hey. Good to see you.

Adam: Yeah.

Victor: Hey, son.

Adam: What the hell is he doing here?

Victor: I’m having a conversation with the mother of my grandson. That an issue for you?

Adam: Yes, as a matter of fact, it is. When you can barely smell your plug-in,

Adam: If you have something to discuss regarding connor, come to me.

Victor: Son, I talk to whoever and whenever I want to, alright? And obviously you’re incapable of telling me what’s troubling chelsea.

Adam: Because her life is none of your business, okay? She’s not gonna say this, so I’m gonna say it for her. Consider her off limits.

Victor: Are you truly alright, chelsea?

Adam: Listen, if there is anything for you to worry about, I’ll let you know.

Victor: Just know that you can come to me anytime, alright? And once again, nikki and i love your boy. So, whenever you need us, you call us.

[ Door closes ]

Adam: [ Sighs ] I am so sorry that he did that. Are you alright?

Chelsea: I’m fine.

Adam: He doesn’t have the slightest idea about what boundaries are.

Chelsea: I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I think victor newman just helped me see things more clearly.

Billy: You know, even though it feels like my heart’s being pushed through a meat grinder right now, this is the most adult breakup I’ve ever had.

Lily: [ Chuckling ] Yeah. I guess we’re growing up.

Billy: It’s about time, huh?

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I really hope you find what you’re looking for.

Billy: I wish I was as strong as you.

Lily: [ Sighs ] You are.

[ Cellphone ringing ] That’s probably jill. I won’t say anything about the break-up ’cause we have enough to deal with right now.

Billy: Yeah.

[ Sniffles ] That’s probably a good idea. Good luck.

Lily: Thanks. You too.

[ Sighs, sniffles ] Jill, hi. Uh, no, I’m fine. What’s going on?

[ Sniffles, exhales heavily ] I’m sorry. I think I-I misunderstood you. He did what?

Victor: Hi, my baby.

Nikki: Mm.

Victor: Hi, my baby.

Nikki: Hello.

Victor: [ Smooching ] You know, it’s uncanny.

Nikki: What is?

Victor: Every time I see you, you look more beautiful.

Nikki: Hmm. Well, I am still amazed that you think you can cover your mood by giving me a compliment, as if i would be so distracted by that I — I won’t see that something is off.

Victor: Is it that obvious? Anyway, um… you know me so well.

Nikki: Yes, I do. So, spill it, handsome.

Victor: I paid a visit to chelsea.

Nikki: Ohh. Well, I hope you didn’t push too hard to find out what this big mystery is.

Victor: No, but, uh… something is afoot. Did victoria say anything about her?

Nikki: No, not since the holidays, when she said that chelsea was in a bad place. But it was odd that she didn’t elaborate.

Victor: Could she be suffering from some illness? I mean, that might explain why both adam and victoria were so attentive to her at the christmas party.

Nikki: Oh, I don’t think so. I mean, after everything we went through with ashland and his lies about having cancer, victoria would have told me that immediately. But something is definitely going on.

Victor: Yeah. And we need to find out what it is.

Nikki: Yes, especially since we know what chelsea is capable of when things aren’t going her way.

Victor: And I’m concerned about johnny. Kids can change minds…

“The young and the restless”

will continue. For people who are a little intense about hydration.

Adam: Oh, this I have to hear. How in the world did my father make you see anything more clearly? I mean, were you guys talking about stocks or corporate takeovers? Manipulating his children? Because outside of those topics, he’s a wasteland.

Chelsea: No, yeah, he said he could tell something’s been going on with me lately. And he’s concerned — not just about connor. It actually seemed like he cared about me, too. I mean, should I have told him the truth?

Adam: While I understand your impulse to do that, I’m not sure how he would react. I mean, of course you’re free to decide, but I don’t think telling him what happened just because he’s needlessly worried about connor…

Chelsea: Well, he spoke a lot about connor and all he’s had to go through because of my struggles.

Adam: Yeah. And mine.

Chelsea: He talked about how important connor is to him and the family, and then he started talking about our history, how he helped me avoid the legal repercussions when I poisoned rey.

Adam: Is he still holding that over your head?

Chelsea: No. Actually, he made me feel differently about it. You know, back then, my therapist was working for victor. But now I have dr. Malone. She’s helping me. She’s working for me, and she’s making me realize if I had just gotten the help I needed back then, maybe I would have been better, I wouldn’t have tried to play the system.

Adam: Well, you had a lot going on, with the aneurysm and the paralysis.

Chelsea: My body healed, but my head didn’T. I’m seeing so much of it differently now, adam. I’m starting to see where all the darkness came from and how dark it got and what led me up to that rooftop that night. I was in so much pain and i honestly thought that everyone would be better off if I wasn’t here. And I didn’t even think about all the pain I would have caused people. I mean, connor is the best thing that ever happened to me, and i just think — [Gasps] I just think — [Sighs] I just think that night I…

[ Breathes deeply, sniffles ]

Adam: Chelsea, what happened that night was one moment, one terrible moment in time. You have been working on getting better, and you’re looking out for connor at every step. You have always made sure that our son is taken care of. I have never, ever worried about that. So, you should not worry about that, either, okay? Little impromptu visits from my father — they always make people question something. I may or may not speak from experience.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Listen, why don’t we get out of here? Why don’t we get some fresh air? Why don’t we get some change of scenery, go get some food?

Chelsea: Oh, thanks. No. I’m — I, um… I’m still working on my relationship with the outdoors and — and my place in it.

Adam: Okay. I didn’t mean to push. We could — we could just stay here.

Chelsea: I think I’d rather just be alone for a little bit, if you don’t mind.

Adam: Not at all. Not at all. Uh [Clears throat] Well, I — I’ll get out of your hair. But if you need anything or change your mind…

Chelsea: Thank you.

Adam: …I’m just a text away.

Chelsea: Okay. And, honestly, you’ve been great these past few weeks. It really means a lot.

Adam: Mm. “You’re great, but, uh, please leave.”

Chelsea: [ Laughs ] No, i just —

Adam: I’m kidding. I — I got it. I’m going. Take care, okay?

[ Door closes ]

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Abby: Moving out of the chancellor house doesn’t mean I’m moving in with devon. I hadn’t even considered that.

Chance: Why you want to leave then?

Abby: Because it’s your family’s home, not mine. And there’s just too many memories, too much space.

Chance: Look, dominic’s spent most of his life there. Do you really want to turn his world upside down again?

Abby: Yeah, it’ll be difficult for a while, but what hasn’t been?

Chance: That’s exactly my point. So, why don’t we make it as easy as we can for him?

Abby: We could stay, as long as you don’t feel awkward.

Chance: I’m fine with it. So, it’s settled?

Abby: We will stay put for now.

Chance: Okay. Good. Well, if that’s it, I’m gonna go.

Abby: Chance. Look, I understand that I hurt you and I did something terrible. But for you to think that i would just move in with devon before the ink on our divorce papers is even dry, that I could just move on and slide into another relationship so quickly? Is that the kind of person that you think I am?

Chance: Abby, I’m not sure who the hell you are because i don’t know how you feel. I used to know you. I used to know you through and through. At least, I thought I did. But now all I am clear on is the facts, okay? You had sex with devon. I walked in on you half-naked with the guy, remember? Hell, you spent christmas with him, too. And now I’m aware that you have full access to his penthouse because you took me there. So, you want to know what I do know, abby? If that wasn’t a mistake and you’re actually sorry about what happened, you wouldn’t feel the need to spend every waking moment with the guy that ruined our marriage.

Abby: [ Scoffs ]

Devon: Hey.

Lily: You’re dissolving our partnership? You’re taking back control of hamilton-winters?

Devon: So, you’ve spoken to jill.

Lily: Yeah, I spoke to jill. Why wouldn’t you come talk to me first?

Devon: I was coming to talk to you today. I was on my way.

Lily: Yeah, after you gave jill your ultimatum. You’re threatening to go public with your opposition of the ipo if you don’t get your way?

Devon: Can we — can we talk about this calmly?

Lily: Yeah, sure. Let’s have a civilized conversation about how you’re stabbing me in the back. How far are you willing to go to fight your own sister to get what you want? Your heart is the beat of life.

Chance: Sharon. I don’t know where to start, but I just want to apologize for that outburst. I’m sorry that you had to witness that, and I’m very sorry that it happened here.

Sharon: No! No, no apologies necessary. Um, you know, you’ve been bottling up a lot of emotions lately, and it’s not healthy.

Chance: Well, chastising my soon-to-be ex-wife in public — that’s not a good look.

Sharon: But you needed to get that off your chest.

Chance: Abby might disagree.

Sharon: Well, you are absolutely entitled. You’re human. It’s one thing to be the strong, silent type, but to not talk about what you’re going through, what you’re feeling, that — that can potentially slow down your healing process.

Chance: You know what they say about icebergs? How you can see, like, only 10% of the whole thing?

Sharon: Yeah.

Chance: Well, uh, all that — that was the tip of the iceberg. Am I angry? Yeah. Confused? Definitely. But it’s the other 90% that’s really killing me. I just — I have this enormous sense of failure that I just can’t shake.

Nikki: So, what did chelsea say for herself?

Victor: Not much. I asked how she was doing. She said she was doing fine.

Nikki: But you don’t believe her?

Victor: Mnh-mnh. She was about to open up, but we got a visitor.

Nikki: Who?

Victor: Adam.

Nikki: I can only imagine.

Victor: Immediately went on the offensive, accusing me of all kinds of nefarious things.

Nikki: Oh, speak of the devil. Hello, adam.

Victor: Hey, son. Care to join us?

Adam: I’m here with a warning. Stop trying to control my family, okay? Our lives — they belong to us. So back off. We do not and we will never live under your thumb.

Devon: I don’t want to fight with you, okay?

Lily: Right. Yeah. So, you just want to pull the pin out of the grenade and walk away without any consequence, without having a conversation?

Devon: I — we’re having a conversation right now, right?

Lily: Yeah, after you made the decision. That’s not a conversation. I have to — what? I have to just roll over and give up everything that we have worked so hard for?

Devon: I’m not asking you to give up anything, lily. I’m saying you go back to your company, I go back to my company.

Lily: Oh, yeah, devon, like it’s so easy.

Devon: It can be easy. It certainly can be. You ran the company before without me involved, and you did it successfully. You can go back to doing the same thing, and I can go back to running my company exactly the way I want to.

Lily: Devon, we can find a way to give you more autonomy without splitting up.

Devon: How you gonna do that if you take the company public? It’s impossible. And you know the only reason i wanted to join our companies together is so we could work together as a family, a cohesive family unit, and create a legacy to leave behind, right?

Lily: Yes, and we still can.

Devon: I disagree. I’ve made too many mistakes so far because of not listening to my own instincts, and I’m not gonna keep doing that. I’m sorry.

Lily: You know, jill thinks that you’re doing this just because of what happened with abby.

Devon: Let her think that if she wants to. It’s not the case. This is not an emotional decision. It’s been a long time coming. I’ve never truly felt comfortable with this merger. And I apologize to you for not being honest about that sooner and not being honest with myself about it. But I’m coming to you now, as your brother, and I’m asking if you will allow me to take a step back from this partnership. That’s it.

Lily: Really? You want to pull the brother card, asking me for a favor? And the way that you deal with getting burned is by burning me?

Devon: I’m not trying to burn you, lily. I’m trying to do what’s best for you and for me.

Lily: Devon, we were a team. We were working together to honor our father. And just because you couldn’t convince me and jill to cancel the ipo, you try and sabotage it. How are you any different from nate? I’m not a doctor.

Devon: I know you’re angry, and I get why you are, but how are you gonna compare what I’m asking for to what nate tried to do to us?

Lily: How is it different?

Devon: What are you talking about, how’s it different? I haven’t been secretly plotting to try and take your company from you and hand it over to someone who’s not even in the family. All I’ve ever done is try and protect and preserve hamilton-winters and neil’s legacy that goes along with it.

Lily: Oh, I’m sorry. Are you trying to protect our father’s legacy from me?

Devon: No. From shareholders or a takeover or anyone else who doesn’t know him or didn’t know him or didn’t respect him. And I realize I can’t do that without complete autonomy. And I’m also trying to look out for chancellor, whether you think so or not. I don’t think you guys should take that company public, either.

Lily: Do you actually believe what you’re saying? Do you? Because you are hurting me. You are damaging my company, all because you want control. You know what? Forget the comparison to nate. You sound exactly like victor newman and nothing like neil winters.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Sharon: I don’t think you should view the end of your marriage as your fault.

Chance: I can’t be certain of that.

Sharon: But you aren’t the one who cheated.

Chance: You know what I keep asking myself? Was I wrong for taking that assignment in spain? For leaving abby here all alone to handle the surrogacy and pregnancy?

Sharon: You were doing your duty.

Chance: Oh, maybe I made too many mistakes when I got back. I think I got lost in my job a bit. Trying to always be the protector. Maybe I just forgot how to be a man. That’s why she turned to somebody else. All my problems seem to stem from who I am, which is tied to what I do. It’s my job. I think I’ve put it above everything else too many times. Was that the biggest mistake that I made? And yet, without it, who the hell am I?

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hey.

Devon: You don’t know how happy I am to see your face. Are you okay?

Abby: Are you really happy to see me? Or are you just saying that? ‘Cause I feel like I just run to you every time something is bothering me.

Devon: First of all, I will never not be happy to see your face. And second, I always want you to come to me for any reason, any time.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Chelsea: Billy.

Victor: Son, I’d watch your tone if I were you.

Adam: Okay, just spare me your advice.

Victor: It’s telling, though, isn’t it? Although you involve me as a villain in any of your stories, you always come crawling back when you need me, don’t you? And that time will come again soon. I promise you.

Adam: You really are insufferable. You know, with an ego as big as his, I’m shocked that there’s room enough for you at the table or enough oxygen for you to breathe. I’ve had enough.

Nikki: This is just what he does. I mean, he has some kind of turmoil going on in his life, and he tries to whip everybody up into a frenzy. Darling, you just need to find a way to let it roll off your back.

Victor: No, maybe I’ll try something else.

Nikki: Well, what else can you do?

Victor: Give him a wake-up call. He needs to hit rock bottom, experience a massive failure, before he realizes where he belongs. That boy’s getting out of line. And I’ve had it.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Relaxing music plays ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Ooh.

[ Breathes sharply ] I’m telling you, I think it’s a really strong —

[ Grunting softly ] Now, that is some hot yoga.

[ Playing mid-tempo music ] Ugh! That’s not right.

[ Clears throat ] Ugh! Why is this so hard?! Don’t do it. Do not call chase. You got this.

[ Discordant notes play ] Ohh!

[ Singsong voice ] Sounding pretty good in here. Ha ha. What are you doing in the main house? I found leo in the barn with thor. Huh? The — the new foal. Oh. Got it. Yeah. He was, uh —

[ Chuckles ] He had a blanket and everything. He was all ready to sleep in the stables. That’s cute. Yeah. It was. It was cute.

[ Laughs ] But I figured I should probably get the kid to bed. And, uh, plus, I found these in the kitchen on the way in.

[ Crunches ] Hmm. They’re a little dry.

[ Crunching ] Don’t tell mama q I said that, though. You’re supposed to dip them into coffee. Or wine, in the old country. They’re supposed to be dry. Wine? That’s — that’s a good tip.

[ Chuckles ] So, whatcha doing? Just working on a new love song for chase and blaze.

[ Clears throat ] Not going so well? At the moment, I am singing the blues. Nina is willow’s birth mother? Yes. And she could be a perfect match. I’ve got to call michael and willow. No, no, w-willow already has a match. She does? Yeah, I wa– I was — I was there when — when they got the call. The — the — the donor registry came through. Oh, thank god!

[ Breathes deeply ] Can we just back up for a second, please? You did a dna teston nina and willow and… …you said it came back negative. That’s what I told you. The results were actually positive. So you lied to me. Again. Before you say anything, I have a few things to say about the way I choose to live my life and how it’s none of your damn business. Josslyn, I didn’t ask you over here to lecture you about your life. You didn’t? Look, I know michael must be going through a hard time right now. I’m sure that you are, too. I just wanted to see if you can make michael understand that, if him and willow need anything, I’m here. I just — I d– I don’t want his pride to stand in the way if he needs help. Help with what? This is not a good time, nina. I understand that, michael, and I know you don’t want me here, so I will make it quick. I need to talk about my grandson. You remember the visitation hearing, the one you forced us to have? Yeah, the court ruled that you have no right to see wiley. Yes. You found a way to shut me out of wiley’s life, for the unforgivable crime of me wanting wiley to know about his biological mother. Do not drag up nelle. Yeah, because I can’t even speak her name because wiley must believe that willow is his one and only mother. And now she put her life at risk so you, michael, can have another baby. Where does that leave wiley if willow dies?

[ Coughing/sneezing ]

[ Door knocking ] Dude, you coming?

Hey. Are you coming or going? I’m sorry? Um, are you about to take class or did you just finish?

[ Laughs ] We just got here. How’ve you been? Good. You? Oh, sasha is great and deserves congratulations. -[ L aughs ] -Oh, yeah? Yeah. We — we have a buyer for brando’s garage. -That’s amazing. -Mm. Gladys, we haven’t accepted the offer yet. Oh, sure, sure. We’re going to play hardball, do the whole counter thing, but — but it’s good news. Don’t — don’t you think it’s good news? Yeah, I do, if sasha thinks it is. Well, of course she thinks that.

[ Down-tempo music plays ] Did you lose an earring?

[ Scoffs ] Like I would wear those to yoga.

[ Laughs ] She — she got me — sasha got me the most beautiful diamond studs for christmas. Nice!

[ Sighs ] I’m so glad you like them. Water. I forgot my water. I’ll be right back.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

[ Chuckles ] Everything good between you and gladys? Yeah, everything’s great. Why? So, she’s not pushing you to, uh, sell the garage? I mean, yeah,[Laughing] She’s pushing, but that’s just gladys. You know, technically, she does not even need me to agree, since she’s in charge of my finances. But gladys would never do that. I trust her. Cody: You want this? No, thanks. I can’t just let it go to waste. Could return it to the kitchen. Too far.

[ Laughing ]

[ Crunching ] So…

[ Crunching ] …I heard through the grapevine that you and chase broke up. Oh, you heard through one little grape, and his name is leo. Correct.

[ Scoffs ] But to be fair, what he actually said was he’s happy that you and chase aren’t going to be kissing anymore.

[ Scoffs ] That makes one of us. I’m sorry. No, don’t be, you know? Chase and I might just be singer and manager right now, but I’m — I’m hopeful things will change. So, he’s still willing to work with you. That’s the kind of guy chase is, you know? He honors his commitments, even when he doesn’t want to. Hmm. What’s that like? Beats me.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ] You can use this, though, you know? Your working relationship? I could. So, you’ve thought about it.

[ Laughs ] I, uh — chase and blaze, they have this radio performance tomorrow. I may have concocted a plan to get chase over here tonight. So you can remind him how good you guys are together? Something like that. Chase is huge on honesty, though. I-I can’t use lies to get him back. Says who?[ Crunches ] How dare you. I da– I dare because I am wiley’s grandmother and I have to look out for him, his emotional needs, michael. I…

[ Sighs ] I know that willow has stage iv leukemia.

[ Suspenseful music plays ] How the hell do you know that? Because I read a memo that was mixed up in britt’s paperwork. And I am so sorry. What willow is going through, it’s — it’s horrible, but I — I also know that willow’s an adult and she chose to delay her treatment? Was that in the memo, the memo you shouldn’t have even read? It just wound up in my living room, and I admit I read it. So that is how I know that months passed from the time that she got diagnosed to the time where she received her first chemo treatment, months where her leukemia just progressed and her chance of survival got worse —

months when you and willow put the future of your unborn baby before wiley. His needs, his happiness, his security. And now, that little boy may lose the one and only mother that he has ever known. That you allowed him to know, michael! And that’s selfish! Get the hell out of my house. No! First, you have to explain it to me. Willow found out that she had leukemia in her first trimester. Why didn’t she get chemo immediately? That’s none of your business!

Wiley makes it my business! I appreciate your loyalty, but you’re not — you’re not b-betraying michael’s trust by talking to me. I know — I know what’s going on with willow. And it must be — I mean — it must be very difficult for them with the leukemia and then being pregnant. It’s — hold on, hold on. Leukemia? We just had this whole conversation about lying, and — and you made it seem like everything was solid, and yet… you were still holding back. I’m sorry. I didn’t think it mattered. I — you didn’t think it mattered?! You were — how — how is nina being willow’s mother, how does that not matter?! Because I didn’t know willow had cancer! And that’s a secret you kept from me, by the way! That is not the same thing, and you know it. Willow swore me to secrecy. I’m going to ask you a question, and I can’t — I can’t even believe I’m going to say this, but I need you to be honest with me.

[ Voice breaking ] Of course! Were you ever going to tell willow that nina was her mother? No.

I’m glad we ran into each other. Yeah? Yeah, I’ve been meaning to reach out since we talked last. I’m good, chase. You — [ Laughs ] You don’t have to worry about me. I’m fine. Well, I wasn’t worried about you, but I am now.

[ Chuckling ] What’s going on? Uh, it’s nothing specific,really.

[ Breathes deeply ] Or maybe it is. I don’t know. It’s like I — I was braced for the holidays, you know? I-I knew that they would be hard, so I went into them prepared and all my friends and family were on high alert, too. You had a ton of distractions and a lot of people looking out for you. Yeah. You know, the holidays are over, and it’s just me now. No brando, no liam. And, of course, I knew that. But you we ren’t as preparedas you were before christmas.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] You know, it was —

[Sighs] It was nice having a goal, you know? “Just make it through to new year’s day” — I could handle that. But “make it through the rest of your life”?

[ Sighs ] That sounds daunting. It is.

[ Chuckles ] I know I’ll figure it out, but I’m just… feeling a little adrift right now. I get that. And, for what it’s worth, I think you’re coping really well.

[ Chuckles ] The past few months, I’ve definitely felt a lot stronger, more stable. Maybe gladys won’t have to be your guardian much longer. Maybe. [ Chuckles ] Some days, I am so ready to march in and demand that the judge re-evaluate my case. And other days?

[ Sighs ] Nights are hard. After gladys goes to bed, the apartment is just so quiet.

[ Crying ] I’ll find myself listening for brando’s humming while he’s brushing his teeth. Or I’ll go to bed hoping that I’ll dream about him, so I can touch his face again. So that’s not really facing reality.

[ Sighs ] I think that you are doing what every grieving widow would do. You miss your husband, sasha. You imagine him in the room next to you. Who wouldn’t?

[ Breathes deeply ] I’m just afraid that, if I let myself pretend, I’ll get lost in the fantasy. Like I did when I thought I was holding liam.

[ Dreamy music plays ]

[ Laughing ] Oh! I know all parents say this, but she is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Our child is perfect. Just like her mother. Oh, stop. You can’t fault me for speaking the truth.

[ Chuckles ] We did it. You did it. You beat cancer and protected our child in the process. I love you so much. I love you, too.

[ Laughs ]

[ Kiss echoes ]

[ Dreamy music plays ]

[ Laugh echoes ] Josslyn: Willow has cancer? I’m sorry. I-I didn’t — uh — I thought michael and willow would have said something to the family. Michael hasn’t said anything.

[ Breathes sharply ] How do you know this? It doesn’t matter. Does my mom know? I don’t know. I don’t know.

[ Crying ] No. No. If she knew, she would’ve told me. But then again, I thought michael would’ve, too. Oh, my god.

[ Sniffles ] Wiley.

[ Sniffles ] The baby! You know what? -Does this affect the pregnancy? -No. Um — nina did some research, and, apparently, when you’re pregnant, you can still have chemo. It — it doesn’t hurt the baby. This sounds so scary and complicated. Listen, michael and willow, they’re going to get the best treatment possible. You know that, right?

[ Knock on door ] Everything okay?

[ Crying ] Yeah, she’s just heard some bad news. Listen — I have to — I have to go. I’ll see to it she gets home safe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you.

[ Door closes ] Are you okay?

[ Sobs ] You hate nina. I do. She’s done awful things to you. She has. And then you get handed this perfect opportunity to get back at her. That’s not what this is about. -No? -No, no.

[ Suspenseful music plays ] This was about willow! By the time I had that dna test ran, willow and nina’s relationship was toxic. Willow couldn’t stand nina. She looked me in the face and told me she didn’t want to find out who her birth mother was because she could turn out to be someone like nina. “I’d rather not know,” I believe, were her exact words, so how do I tell her that this woman that she hates, who she doesn’t want anywhere near her son, was her mother? So you lied? I lied! You’re damn right I lied! Because I knew the truthwould hurt willow, and I wanted to spare her that pain! This is what I don’t understand. If you’re so sure that you were in the right — what?! Why’d you lie to me? Why — why — why’d you lie to me about the dna results? Because I didn’twant to put you… why didn’t you bring me in on it?! …In the position! This is what I think! I think you didn’t tell me because you knew I wouldn’t go along with it because you knew… you’re wrong.

That you’re worriedabout losing touch with reality makes me feel like you won’T.

[ Vehicles passing in distance ]

[ Sighs ] I hope that’s true. And, the next time you’re feeling adrift, just call me. It’s usually in the middle of the night. So? My phone’s always on. It’s an old habit from being a cop.

[ Cellphone ringing ] See?

[ Breathes sharply ]

[ Ringing continues ]

[ Ringing continues ] Don’t not answer on my account.

[ Ringing continues ] Brook lynn! Chase! I’m so glad you answered. Um, I fixed it. Fixed what? The song. Uh, great. We can discuss it at the radio station tomorrow. That’s the song that I fixed, the one that you and blaze are singing tomorrow. Your verse, I always thought, was missing something, and I found it. Wait. You want to change the song that I’m singing in, what, 12 hours? I’m not just talking about it. It’s happening. And you’re going to like it way better. Can you come over to learn it? What, right now? Yeah. It — it won’t take too long. Why — are you busy? N-no, but —

great! I’ll see you when you get here. How was that? Perfection.

[ Laughs ]

[ Breathes deeply ] Does wiley know that willow is sick, that she m-may die? It’s too soon for that. Yeah, because you don’t want to frighten him until it’s absolutely necessary. Of course we don’T. But if willow would have done the responsible thing and gotten chemo during her first trimester, it wouldn’t have been necessary! You know, what — what gives you the right to judge? I understand. If you lost your little baby, it would’ve been devastating, and you and willow would have grieved. But it’s better for both of you to grieve than a 4-year-old boy grieving for his mother the rest of his life!

[ Footsteps approach ] I can’t hear any more of this. Wiley: Grandma! Oh! Wiley! Come here, buddy! Wiley. Hey.

[ Laughs ] Hi.

[ Sniffles ] I missed you! Oh! I missed you, too. Hey. Shouldn’t you be asleep? Will you play with me? Mommy’s too tired, and daddy’s too busy taking care of mommy. Do you want to talk about it?

[ Horn honks in distance ]

[ Crying ] I don’t even know what to say, honestly.

[ Sniffles ] Well, I’m guessing by the fact that sonny didn’t take my head off that you didn’t tell him about us. No.

[ Sniffles ] Thank you.

[ Sighs ] I would be in serious trouble if sonny thought we were involved. Yeah, well, sonny has bigger things on his mind right now.

[ Down-tempo music plays ] We all do.

[ Sniffles ] Is that the — the bad news sonny was talking about?

[ Crying ] My family’s falling apart, and I don’t know what I’m going to do about it. Keeping the truth about willow and nina to yourself isn’t sparing me the burden of lying to willow. This is about maintaining control. No, no. If you didn’t tell me, then you don’t risk the possibility of me telling willow. It wasn’t like that. Really? It wasn’T. Because, from where I’m standing, if you are the only one that knew, then you are ensuring that this plays out exactly the way that you want it to. How? You’re talking like I’m some puppet master and I just wanted to carry this secret. You did carry it! You carried it for months! I mean, my god, how long did you know?

[ Stammers ] May! Yeah. Of last year! Pretty eventful time, if I recall. Yes, willow was going through a lot. Harmony was dying, learning that she wasn’t her birth mother and that harmony was actually killing people to keep that secret. So you understand. Why you didn’t tell willow right away, yes, but you had months to come clean! Months where willow was telling me she didn’t want to know. She didn’t change her mind till the end of november! Which is when you started sabotaging my search. Because I didn’t know why you were searching. I didn’t know that willow was sick! I know that you would never intentionally hurt willow.

[ Voice breaking ] No. I know that. Thank you. But intentional or not, carly, do you see that keeping this secret almost cost willow her life?! Hi. I keep my home fresh with febreze fade defy plug.And I use this. Febreze uses a microchip to digitally control how much scent is released so it doesn’t fade. Ooh. Does mine have a microchip? – Uh-uh. – Oh. Febreze stays first-day fresh for 50 days. That is a shockingly long time. Febreze also has a refill reminder light… it even reminds you to refill it? So I never miss a day of freshness… your home is so fresh! Upgrade to febreze plug. Family is just very important. She’s my sister and we depend on each other a lot. She’s the rock of the fami ly. She’s the person who holds everything together. It’s a battle, you know. I’m going to be there.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ] Yeah. You have a visitor. Sonny, it’s me! Let her in. Hi, cuz. You going to the gym? Oh, uh, sasha and i were supposed to do yoga, but then something came up.

[ Clears throat ] What — what came — what do you mean? What’s — how’s sasha? That’s why I’m here. My daughter-in-law needs your help.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Better? Chase won’t be able to resist you.

[ Sighs ] From your lips.

[ Doorbell rings ] That’s him. Thanks for everything, cody.

[ British accent ] Oh. Oh, I see. I’m — I’m dismissed, then. Basically, yeah. Well, um, I’ll — I’ll let master chase in on my way out.

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughing ] Okay.

[ Normal voice ] Hey, good luck. Thanks.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Sighs ] Okay. Ugh! What am I doing? Just act normal, brook lynn.

[ Breathes deeply ] Hi. Hi. Thanks for coming. Well, you didn’t give me much of a choice. Well, that’s pretty on-brand, right?

[ Breathes deeply ] Sasha. Hi. Hi!

[ Sniffles ] What can I do?

[ Vehicles passing ] Nothing.

[ Breathes deeply ] That’s the worst part — there’s nothing any of us can do. You can talk about it, to me. Whatever it is, I’ll listen.

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Voice breaking ] Willow has leukemia. Oh. Yeah. Oh, did she just find out?

[ Breathes deeply ] Sonny thought I already knew, so…I guess not.

[ Breathes deeply ] Shocking that nobody told me, considering my reaction. No. It is scary to find out someone you love is sick. You are allowed to feel however you feel.

[ Down-tempo music plays ] My first serious boyfriend had cancer. And he died. I’m so sorry, joss. What was his name? Oscar. He had a brain tumor. We found out in september, and, eight months later, he was gone. How old? 16. And I know… that, you know, this is different.

[ Sniffles ] Willow’s cancer’s different. Everything’s different, really. I just — I really don’t want this for michael. You two are really close, huh?

[ Sniffles ] If the donor registry hadn’t found a donor for willow, then we wouldn’t have known that nina was a match until it was too late. I know. All of that is terrifying. Thank god it didn’t come to that. No, it didn’T. Do they know if the transplant’s going to affect the baby?

[ Exhales sharply ] I’m not sure. I got to call michael and willow first thing in the morning. I —

[ Hand thumps ]

[ Crying ] I can’t believe michael didn’t tell me. I mean, what the hell was he thinking?! I — I could have helped him, you know. Maybe he takes after his mother in that way, thinking he can… shoulder everything alone. It’s my mo, right? Handle everything on my own, so I don’t need other people.

[ Sighs ] Is that what I am — other people? No. Could have fooled me.

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

My baby girl.

I love you so much.

Wiley! Come meet your baby sister. What are you doing? Sweetie, sweetie, come here. Come here. Get out of our house. I am so sorry, willow, but you’ve gotten too weak to take care of wiley. [ Gasps ] [ Breathing quickly ] No! I am not weak. I’m not — [ Breathing sharply ] What is happening? Oh, gee, you’re fading fast, willow. And michael has his hands full with work, so… I should probably take the baby, as well. [ Gasping ] Michael… you can’t let her do that. [ Chuckling ] Oh! Michael! No! Oh! [ Sobbing ] No! Time to go, wiley. [ Crying ] Please, no. Please, no. Oh, please stay. Stay with mommy, please. Stay with mommy.

[ Baby crying ]

Aww, how is my new little baby girl? My second chance.

[ Gasps ]

How do you like the name nelle?

No!!

[ Gasps ]

[ Gasping ]

Michael is more than a brother.

[ Vehicles passing ] He’s one of my best friends.

[ Breathes sharply ] He’s a rock. But that bodes well for him, don’t you think? In a situation like this? Except I know what it’s like.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Crying ] I know what it’s like to sit at someone’s bedside and watch them fight as hard as they can. And all you can do is love them and be there for them. But you can’t change anything. You can’t fix anything. You can’t fight the battle for them. And it’s the most helpless feeling. And michael doesn’t deserve that. You didn’t deserve it, either, joss. Ohh. It’s like…

[ Crying ] …I hear “cancer,” and I’m — I’m right back in it. I’m sitting next to oscar, and I’m reading to him.

[ Sniffles ] You read to him? Yeah. To help with the pain. You keep saying that there was nothing you could do.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Smooches ] Sounds like you did a whole lot. I hope it’s okay I tagged along. Of course. Were you guys, uh, together when I called? You said it wouldn’t take long, so I invited sasha to come with. Great. Are you hungry? Oh, I’m sorry. Cody, sasha. Sasha, cody. No, we– we’ve met. Sasha: Christmas day. Pregnant virgin mary giving birth. Right. Duh. Oh, that is a story I need to hear. Remind me to tell you.

[ Laughs ] Right. Uh, so, w-what do you say you and I raid the kitchen and, uh, we can let these two do their thing? Ah, I am skipping my workout. Might as well go all-in. That’s a yes? Sure.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

[ Sighs ] Thank you for coming. You already said that. I did, didn’t I? Do you have the sheet music? Huh? So I can see the changes to the song. Oh, yes, um, they’re right here. Now, come sit.

[ Bench scrapes ]

[ Clears throat ] Alright. Ah, let’s see. Can’t read a word I wrote, can you? [ Laughs ] Here, move over. Let’s, uh, get to work. We have an offer on the garage, and sasha’s on the fence about taking it. What’s the offer? $300,000. Cash. No. She’s right not taking it. It’s — it’s worth a lot more than that.

[ Scoffs ] We can’t wait. Why? I mean, it’s not likesasha needs money, right? Oh, it’s — it’s not about the money.

[ Scoffs ] Then what is it — what’s it about? I-it — it’s about sasha! Hanging on to brando’s things… I think it’s keeping her from moving forward. But you know what? Last time I spoke to sasha, she was — she was doing good. I think it helped her that we built brando’s motorcycle. I mean, I know it helped me. Brando would’ve loved seeing you and sasha working together like that. Okay, so… what’s the issue, if it’s — if it’s not money? Is there something going on that I don’t know about, like — what’s going on with sasha? Is she alright?

[ Stammers ] Nothing specific.

[ Scoffs ] Here, listen to me. It’s going to be okay. We got to look after each other. Deal? Deal.

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Chuckles ] Wiley, it’s, uh, it’s bedtime, not playtime, okay? Wiley. But grandma’s here! Wiley!

[ Chuckling ] Hi! Yeah, it’s been a long time since I’ve, um, come to visit, and I’m — I’m really sorry about that, wiley. Wish I could play with you until the sun comes up. But your daddy is right, you know — you should be in dreamland right now. Oh! I want to stay with you. Get away from my son! Willow, willow, willow, hold on. Get away! Mommy? No, it’s okay. It’s okay, wiley. Let’s go back upstairs. Let’s go back upstairs. No. I am not dead. Mommy? I am not dead! Do you hear me? You cannot have my children! You can’t!

[ Sobbing ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ] I hated lying to you. But you still did it. Fo r what I truly believewere the right reasons. I know how this works. I know you. I know how you operate. It’s not like… this should come as a huge surprise. But it does.

[ Down-tempo music plays ] I was just — I was starting to trust you. Starting to? You know what I mean. Not as friends, as… …as us, as a couple. I was — I was opening my heart to you. And to find out that you were lying to me this whole time… drew — …actively working against me, I just — I re ally thought we hadsomething deeper than that. And it’s — it’s a wake-up call to find out that we don’T.

[ Gasping ] Stay…away… from…my kids. Willow, I would never take your kids away from you!

[ Sobbing ] Mommy, what’s wrong?! It’s okay. It’s nothing we can’t fix, sweetheart.

[ Sniffles ] See, nina’s a bad person, and I don’t want her talking to you. Why not? I’ll explain upstairs, okay? I’m going.

[ Thud ] Wiley: Mommy!

[ Suspenseful music plays ] Willow? Willow. Willow! Thank you for being here. And for not pushing and…

[ Vehicles passing ] …Just thanks. Any time.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Shudders ] Are you cold? Mm. Just a few more minutes? As long as you want.

[ Sniffles ] So, you want to add a key change at “I can’t forget your lies”? Eyes — “I can’t forget your eyes.” Oh, sorry. No, no. It’s an understandable mistake, considering.

[ Breathes sharply ] Considering… your handwriting is illegible?

[ Scoffs ] It’s not that bad. Oh, you’re so dramatic. Look — “I can’t forget your eyes, no matter how… tired and high.” No, that’s not it. Oh, you can’t even read your own handwriting. Well, just give me a second! Take all the time you need. “No matter how hard I try.” Boo-yah! Okay. And I’m dramatic.

[ Laughs ] Chase, I —

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Sighs ] Thanks.

[ Siren wailing in distance ] Michael, what’s up? What?! Oh, my god.

[ Siren continues wailing ] Brick, hey. Can you do me a favor? Can you — can you find the best oncologist in the country? Not — no, it’s not — it’s for willow. That’s it? You know, one mistake and I’m out, huh? Would you really classify this as one mistake? You paid a woman to lie to me. You — you — you — you hid a photo that you knew that I was looking for, that you knew that was important to me and important to willow. Because I was trying — because you were trying to protect her. I understand that. But that excuse only goes so far, carly. Secrets and lies! That’s not the kind of relationship that I want. It’s not what i want. But now that everything’s out of the open, it doesn’t have to be that way.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Ringing continues ] You should probably answer this.

[ Ringing continues ] Hello. Carly, please don’t hang up.

[ Suspenseful music plays ] It’s willow. What about willow?

Carly, she collapsed. Michael called an ambulance. They’re on their way to the er. I’m on my way. I’ll drive. Okay.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

know where Dr. Rolf is? Yeah. He’s in Jakarta. Jakarta as in Indonesia. Yes. What’s he doing there? Lee Shin set him up with a secret lab. Ugh. I guess Lee thought no one would find him on the other side of the world. Yeah, but I found him. With the Elise own sister,

please. I’m glad I found you here. Why? What’s going on? My life is falling apart. I need your help.

Look, what are you doing here?

I just spoke to my nephew, Johnny. Apparently he and Wendy. Went to Jakarta back in November and found Dr. Rolf November. Yeah. He told them the same thing he told you, which is that Lee and my sister Kristen made him brainwash me to turn me against you. Does that mean that you believe me now?

I do.

What do you mean you are coming home? Well, you have a room and I need a place to sleep. Aren’t you staying with your baby daddy at John o Malina’s? I did until my baby daddy threw me out. Not surprising. Considering what you did to him, what exactly have you. Johnny just spoke with Allie, so I suppose you could say, I know everything, which is why I don’t want you living in this house.

Kristen forced you to break up with me. How would she do that? I guess she would call it extortion, but what was she holding over your. The lives of people that I love. Kristin played God, Chloe, and now two women are dead.

I heard about Kayla. I’m so sorry.

Thank you. How’s your mom doing? She’s an icu. She’s not, she’s not doing well. I don’t know what to say. It’s, it’s awful. I was gonna reach out to you before, so you know what, I should get going. Well, Eric, wait, what?

You just lost your. And now your mom is, yeah. This is so much more important than what’s going on between us. And could you just talk to me please?

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

I can’t believe it. Kate and Kayla. Oh my God. Marlena. Is she, Marlena is, uh, she’s, she’s barely, barely hanging on Chloe. She’s, she’s at the hospital and it’s all because of Kristen. All three women had a relapse from the virus that Orpheus infected them with. Oh my God. That is, that is horrible. I thought they were out of the woods.

We all did. I don’t understand. What does Kristen have to do with. Kristen had the orchid. She was the one that provided the serum in the first place, and the only reason she was willing to turn it over was if I agreed to end my relationship with you. I cannot believe you’ve been holding those women’s lives over Brady’s head for months.

Oh my God. Just stop clutching your. You would’ve done the same thing to win over the person you love . All of this was so that he would break up with Chloe Lang. Well, like you said, Brady’s my baby daddy, and Rachel wanted us to be a family and I wanted to give that to her. So it was about Rachel. Yes, and Bri and I belong.

Well, as warm and fuzzy as that sounds, we need to talk about the fact that two women are dead and there could be a third. I had every intention of giving all those three women their doses. If someone stole the orchid, that is not my fault. Well, that’s debatable, and Brady clearly doesn’t see it that way.

Now he’s furious. That’s why he kicked me out the door.

So now you’ve come crawling back here with your tail between your legs. No, I came because this has always been my home. And you, my loving, wonderful brother are gonna welcome me with open. And why would I do that? Because if you don’t, I’m gonna tell our brother, Stefan exactly what you did to him. Hmm. Oh my God.

It it happened. You, you believe what I’ve been saying this whole time, that, that Rolf messed with your head, that he made you hate me. . Yeah. And, and Wendy knew about this since November and she just told you now, protecting her big brother, I guess she was by maid of honor. We were, we were gonna be sisters.

How could she just stand there and let me marry a man who would do something this horrible? Well, from what Johnny said, she hated what Lee did, but couldn’t bring herself to betray him. Oh. So she betrayed me instead. Well, now we know what they did. Now we know what they all. Stephan to keep you and me apart.

I just wanted to see Gabby. I begged her for another chance. How’d she react? She threw her wedding cookies at me. She said she hates me, that our marriage is over, that were done forever and I’m so sorry. I appreciate your sympathy, Jing. But that’s not what I need from you right now. What is it that you need?

You must talk to Gabby and change her mind.

So Kristen said that she would withhold the serum unless you agree to break up with me. And then she forced me to move her in. And, and, and if I didn’t, she would let all three women die. She wasn’t bluffing either, cuz I, I’ve watched the women get weaker and weaker.

What did you tell me, Brady? I could have kept quiet. I could have helped you. Just, you, you, you, no idea how much I wanted to tell you. I wanted to be honest with you. I wanted to tell you the truth. I almost did. I almost slipped a couple times, but I was, I was, she was threatening me, Chloe. I was nervous that if, that, if I told you and somehow she found out that I told you or anyone, those three women would’ve died.

But once they got the treatment and they recovered, oh, she, she, she claimed that they needed supplemental doses in order to stay healthy. That is how she kept me on the hook. Oh my God. And you didn’t tell anyone Very, my pinpoint. I eventually confided in Eric and we came up with a plan to get the orchid.

So Kristen was blackmailing Brady this whole time, and that’s why he broke up with Chloe. It’s the only way to save my mom, Caitlin and Kate. But he couldn’t tell Chloe well, I just came from seeing her, and then Brady showed up and said that he wanted to talk to her alone because he’s finally telling her the truth.

Wow. That’s gonna be a shock. I mean, he broke her heart. Hopeful. Only one good thing comes of this Brady will be free. He’ll be what? The person he loves, the one he belongs to.

So Christian led Brady to this orchid and it wasn’t there. What happened to it? She claims that it was stolen. John. He wouldn’t leave my mom’s bed. But he has his people looking everywhere for, well, hopefully he’ll find it soon. Yeah. If only we just come up with our plans sooner to force Kristen and turn it over.

What plan and how are you gonna force her? My kidnapping, Rachel,

I have no idea what you think I do to Stephan. Oh, , let’s stop playing games. I’ve had a very, very long day. Ready kicked me out. My daughter was kidnapped and former father Eric pointed a gun at me. Hmm. You’re lucky he didn’t pull the trigger given what you did to his mother, you seem disappointed. I have no ill will toward you despite the fact that you betrayed me and voted to keep dira in Gabby’s hands.

God bygones, right? Sure. But I don’t want your drama or machinations in this house. Oh, you only want your drama and machinations in this house. I didn’t do anything to Stephanie . Oh God. Did Ralph inject you with something to make you forget? Huh cuz I will be clearly happy to refresh your memory. My memory’s just fine.

Okay. Then you should remember, um, that you’ve known about Stephan’s brainwashing for quite some time yet you chose to keep it a secret. So, so I also kept it a secret until now and we both know how fast that could change. All right. I just sent you the address. Look, I know it’s outta your jurisdiction. I know it’s it’s way outta your jurisdiction, but is there any way you can get anyone to Ralph’s lap?

Oh yeah. I’ve got contacts on the State Department over there. I’m sure I can get in touch with someone, right? If we gotta hurry. All right. Finding Ralph is, is the only way we’re gonna find the serum that could save Grandma Marlena’s life. You and Wendy were in that lab Yeah, back in November. Do you remember seeing an orchid there?

No. But that doesn’t mean it’s not there. The Goun, Kayla Kate. They’re already gone. Grandma Marlene is fading fast. Please pray if this is our only hope. I understand. Listen, I promise you we are gonna do everything that we can to find Dr. Rolf and net zero. I promise

you think anything I say to Gabby will make her take you back. She’s very fond of you. She said she liked you from the moment she met you. I, I liked her too. Li but come on, this is a lost cause. The hell it is. We both know I’m better for Gabby than s Stephan Damara. Look at how he treated her because you had Dr.

Ralph condition his brain to hate her. Even so, even so. No, no, no. How does there, and even so, you made sure the guy not only didn’t love Gabby anymore, you made him repulsed by her. I know that. Just hear me out.

I love Gabby in a way. Stephan never could. We are good together. You said it yourself. It’s not up to me, but you can help. Please, please, Jing win. Just talk to her. She’ll. She’ll listen to you. I know she will. That little hypocrite pretended to be on my side. She even drove me to the airport to come see you and the whole time she was covering for her.

We’ve both been lied to whole hell of a lot. You know, I’m gonna deal with Wendy later. But what matters now is that you, you know the truth. You know, I thought I lost you forever, but then you, then you came back and you couldn’t stand the side of me. But now you understand why you, you know the truth, which is why you came back here.

Because if it wasn’t for Rolfe, we’d be together. Right? You know that this changes everything for us.

No, it doesn’t.

So when Kristen finally led me to the place where she was keeping the orchid, it was gone. She claims that she has no idea what happened to it, and you believe her. She would never willingly give up her leverage on me because now, now she has nothing to hold over my hand, and that’s why you kicked her out.

Chloe, I kicked her ass out of there as soon as I could, and I came right here because I wanted to let you know, baby, I’ve never stopped loving you. I was forced to do what I did and I knew that I would find my way back.

You are not saying anything. I just wish I know. I baby. I know, I know. No, no. You don’t understand. I, I wish I would’ve known all of this before I slept with Stephan.

How could you say this doesn’t change anything between us? Are you forgetting you’re married to someone else? Someone that I know despise? I, I need to call a voy and try to figure out how to file for a divorce or an annulment, anything to get away from the son of a bitch. I mean, how could I wanna be with this person after what they did to me?

To you? His lies ripped our lives apart. Yes, Gabby. They did. And now that I know the truth, I feel horrible for how badly you’ve been hurt and all this. And I am so sorry for the way I treated you. No, that none of that was your fault. That was all. And me maybe. But I’m the one who said the words, Gabby, you loved me and I still love you.

I know you do,

but I don’t still love you. Well, that’s because Rolf turned you against me. He pushed you into Chloe’s arms. However, it happened, Gabby, my feelings for Chloe are real,

and there’s really no way to say this next part that won’t sound. But well just say it. I know in my head that I used to love you, but as I stand here and I look at you,

I only feel terrible for how much you’ve been.

I don’t feel any attraction toward you. That’s because Rolf has conditioned your brain. The fact that it’s it’s still working shows how successful Rolf was at programming you to hate mete. You. You don’t hate me, Stephen. You love me jammy. No, listen. You just have to answer one question. Do you wanna be with Chloe, somebody that someone else forced you to love?

Or do you wanna be with a person that you chose to love me, Lee, what you’re asking of me, I’m asking you to do the right thing. Have you seen Stephan with. , it’s clear they belong together and I belong with Gabby. No. How is it clear? How is it clear? She, she wants nothing to do with you. She’s furious with you.

She’s just hurt. Okay. She can get past the betrayal and remember how good it was. Go help her. Remember. Tell her how sorry I am. Yes, you vote. Listen, then make her listen. You could do this for me. Okay? I believe in you

Johnny. Hey,

I’m so sorry about your aunt. Thank you. Uh, how’s your grandmother doing? Uh, you know, we’re, uh, we’re holding out hope that she’ll beat this thing, but with, you know, with what happened with, uh, Kate, not Kayla, Johnny, I, I’m, I’m very sorry about all of this, but Wendy really needs to get going. God, please.

Can’t you see how upset he’s right now? Look, if you, if you’ve got something important to do, I don’t wanna keep No, it can wait. No, it can’t. Lee wants me to convince Gabby that he deserves another chance. Oh. Uh, well in that case, Wendy, I should tell you that I, uh, I told Ste. That we knew about the brainwashing before the wedding, and I just, I, I, I thought it was only right that, that he know that Gabby was telling the truth.

Oh, all the more reason for Wendy to get over there and talk to Gabby before Stephan does. Jing, when this is my life, I need you.

I’ll call you later.

Oh, good luck, Lee. Before you go, oh, we need to have a learn.

It’s always so refreshing when we can be honest with each other, don’t you? You want to talk? Honestly, it wasn’t that long ago that you stood in this very room and told me how sorry you were, that my mother was dead. I offered to accompany you to the funeral, but you turned me down ej. You didn’t want my sympathy.

So this is payback for that slack? No, it’s called desperation. See, I need a place where I can regroup and, uh, figure out my next move on winning Brady back.

Here’s an idea. Maybe you could have Rolf fill around in his brain so he falls back in love with you. If I could find Rolf, I, it was a. Hilarious. Can we just stick to the subject at hand? Can I stay or do I need to go find Stephan and tell him how you betrayed him? Are you forgetting your role in our brother’s ordeal?

You were a part of it long before I was. So what? I’m not running the company, so I have nothing to lose. And besides Lee Shannon and. What we did was for a higher moral purpose, . Oh, and what was that about? Love. Yeah. We did it for true. Love you, . You kept a secret to hold onto power. Power, which you could lose if Stephan learns about your complicity.

What? Huh? Oh, no. Witty retort for that one. Yeah. Brother, why don’t you. Be a deer and grab my bag. I think I’m gonna stay in the guest room in the west Wing. I’m in the sunsets on the balcony. So striking this time of year, or would you rather I tell everyone what I know. Know about what

you kidnapped Rachel. It wasn’t a real kidnapping. It was a ruse to pressure, Kristen to turn it over. She’s just a child. She must have been traumatized. She was, and you know how dangerous Kristen is? Used pawn in this game. She was safe. I’m telling you. She was safe the entire time. Really? Really? Where did you keep her?

I left her with Sloan. Sloan, your shady hookup buddy. She’s someone I totally trust. Why do you have a problem with that? I have a problem with it. The question is, why don’t you have a problem with it?

I, oh my God, Eric, that woman is a menace. It’s not my place to judge her. Oh, . Oh, really? Oh, but you have no problem judging me. Here we go again. Oh, here we go again. In, you know what Sloane did to Chanel and Paulina? She blackmailed them. She threatened to send them to prison. She tried to ruin their lives.

Is this really about Chanel and Paulina? Are you just jealous that Sloane and I are sleeping together?

Sorry to interrupt. You know Harold’s let me in. I’ll be sure to have a word with him about that. Is there something we can help you with? I hope so. Were you two just discussing the missing orchid? You mean the stolen orchid, right? Stolen, yes. Perhaps it’s been, um, recovered. I assure you, commissioner, if I knew anything about the whereabouts of that, I wouldn’t keep it to myself.

Are you sure about that? Marna is my son’s grandmother. Losing her, especially after having just lost his other grandmother would break his heart. I never want that to happen. Right. What about you, Kristen? How would you feel if Marlena didn’t survive?

I should, uh, I, I should get to the hospital to check on my grandma. Then I won’t keep you. I just have one question before you leave. Okay. When you were being so honest with your Uncle Stephan, did you happen to tell him your father’s role in all this? Did you inform s Stephan that his brother EJ knew what Dr.

Rolf had done and decided to keep his mouth shut? No. No, I, I didn’t mention to him that my father knew that. Had Ralph brainwash him. It’s nice to see you Tamara’s all stick together. But you have no problem throwing me under the bus.

I’m not asking you how you feel right now. No. You’re asking me who I want to love. Stephen, don’t you wanna take back your free will even if it means losing. Okay, that is Helen. It’s you, Javi. Can we please talk? Look, I understand that you’re upset with me, but I’m here because yes, Stephen just told me how you knew all about what your brother did to us and you kept it a secret.

So yes, I do wanna talk.

You slept with Stephan

on New Year’s Eve, right before Gabby burst into our hotel room. I was, I, I was afraid that’s where the two of you were headed. I just wish I would’ve known any of this. Chloe. Chloe.

It hurts, but it’s not your fault, not your fault. I, I, I put you in this position and at at least you know that Stephan’s feelings for you aren’t real. I understand that, but the thing is, my feelings for him. They are real.

When you ended things between us, I was devastated. It felt like not only had I lost you, but that I had lost solid ground in. Because when we were in the same room together, it felt like you still loved me. Yes, I did. Which is why it made no sense why it was so hard to process, and I, I, I, I, I’m, I’m so sorry that I put you through that, Chloe, and I know, I know, I know that you weren’t trying to hurt me, that you had to sacrifice your own happiness to save someone else that you loved.

And the, wow, the worst part about it was that I, I saw how much pain it was causing you.

I’m not gonna pretend that it wasn’t awful. Then I didn’t cry myself to sleep almost every night. Okay. But then Stefan was there at my lowest moments. He was there for me, and he helped me heal. We got close, and I would’ve never slept with him if my feelings were him weren’t strong and real because they were.

And they are.

I thought we were friends. Wendy, almost sisters. We were. Well then how could you keep this from me? Believe me, it’s not something I’m proud of. Is that supposed to make it better? No. I just, I came here to say I’m sorry and my brother Lee, he, he, all right, lemme save your breath and tell you what I told your big.

I hate him for what he did to me and I hate him for what he did to Stephan. And that’s not gonna change even if Roth straps me to a table and tries to brainwash me. Just please, Wendy. Bye-bye. See you around.

My brother and I were just stating the obvious actually. That losing Marlena would be a tragedy just as Kate’s St. Kayla’s death was a tragedy. Yeah, I don’t think so. Do you know what I think? I think the two of you were conspiring about something when I walked in. Do you wanna share? My sister and I were discussing a family mag, which doesn’t concern you.

Okay, fair enough. But. Speaking of family, I thought you might want to know that your family doctor is, uh, about to be arrested in Jakarta. Dr. Wilhelm Rolf, he found Rolf. I also called in some favors, so as soon as he’s arrested, he will be extradited to Salem where he will have to answer for his crimes in case you’re about to make an accusation.

Lee was the one who stashed the way, the good doctor. We had nothing to do with that. Well, thank you for the clarification and um, since you’re being so cooperative, I’m sure you won’t mind if I have a forensics team come search the, uh, secret room in the tunnels for leads. Why do we still call it a secret room?

And everyone knows about it. , you don’t, right ahead. You have nothing to hide. Oh, that’s, Fantastic. I’m also gonna need to review these security tapes for the past week. Mm-hmm. To start, we want the Orchid fan just as much as you do. Joni has already lost one grandmother, and I will do everything I can to make sure he doesn’t lose another.

Just so we’re clear on this, my father had no idea what you had Ralph do to Stephan until after the fact. I’m sure s Stephan would be delighted to hear that look. I am not excusing what my dad did. Okay. But he’s not the one who had Ralph dig around into Stephan’s brain, rip him away from the woman he loves.

He’s also not the one who pulled the plug on my uncle. No, that was you. I had my reasons. Sure you did. And listen, while we’re having this little, uh, heart to heart, let me just say you sending Wendy over there to talk to Gabby, that’s weak. Wendy is being a good sister. But you pressured her into it. See, you’ve put her into yet another impossible position.

Again, I just want Gabby to understand how much I love her. Sure. But like you said, Damara stick together. So I’m hoping that Gabby makes it explicitly clear to Wendy that she’s not going to take you back because she loves. She always will.

This is not about jealousy. You know, A is like family to me and I am protective of anyone who is in his family. Chanel and Paulina, hardly innocent in this situation. Oh my God, I cannot believe you are defending that woman. You don’t even know her. I know. Sloan lost her mother under terrible circumstances, and I’m afraid I’m about to relate to that.

Very sweet. Sorry, this is not the appropriate time to be arguing about Sloan. Why? I’m very happy to have this conversation and why we’re at it. Why don’t we talk about who you are shacking up with now? No point. I am not pretending that EJ is a saint and neither am I, but when we end our marriage, Decided that we were too different to make it work.

I was too much of a sinner and you were too much of a choir boy. But now I don’t know anymore. Eric, what kind of man are you?

I did what I did because I was protecting my family. You slept with Sloan to protect your family. I’m talking about the kidnapping I call my mother could die. I get that. So you don’t like the way I acted because I allowed Rachel to be babysat by someone you don’t approve of babysat. Okay. My soul is not questionable.

Maybe what I did because I was trying to protect my mother, but let’s talk about. And how you acted to end the life of my child,

Brady, as much as I wish I could, you can’t expect me to just come back to you and act as if nothing has changed. Chloe. Chloe, nothing’s, nothing has changed for me, Brady. I thought that you didn’t want me and that you chose to be with Kristen, and that was devastating, so I had to protect myself. I had to force myself to get over you.

The folks from the forensics lab are on their way. I assume you won’t give them any trouble. I’ll even offer them snacks. Wow. What a guy, huh? Oh, and Kristen? Yes. Eric Brady was in my office earlier demanding that I arrest. Arrest me for what? Just withholding the orchid that could save his mother’s life.

And you haven’t complied with his demand? Yeah. Well, I don’t have the facts to back up an arrest yet, but I’m sure as soon as I get my hands on Dr. Rolf, I can get him to flip on you and Lee and anybody else who might be involved. I’ll be in touch. Have a great day.

I can’t believe that Lee sent his little sister to try to change my mind about him, especially since she’d been keeping a secret. Clearly not a winning strategy. Yeah, but nobody could change my mind about how I feel about you.

I wish that you would say something,

Gabby, I know that you want to be with me and I feel horrible for how badly you’ve been hurt. Through all this, but it’s not gonna happen. Look, I know it’s hard to imagine, but if we could just find and have him undo what he did, when do you think I’m just gonna fall back in love with you? I don’t know. I mean, maybe you’ll still go on hitting me.

Maybe you still left. But don’t you wanna be yourself fully? Again, don’t you wanna make your own choices? Don’t you want your free will back?

How’s it going down there? Race team is descended upon the not so seeker room and the tunnels. Well, are they going to find anything? Unlikely. Well then it’s a good thing you welcome to him. I know. Hmm. Well, the next big question is, are you gonna do the same for your sister as if you’ve given me a choice?

At a boy you can stay for now. You better pray for Marlene’s sake and for yours if they find that orchid

look. Um,

I know I can’t just ask you to flip switch and go back to where things were before, but you need to know that I didn’t have a choice when it came to being with Kristen and, and, and you, you have a choice.

I under. I understand that, but I just, I can’t make that choice in this.

I, um, I’ll give you all the time you need and I’ll wait for as long as I have to.

I, I, I better go back to the hospital and check on, check on my dad. I’ll give him and Marlene on my best. Yeah. I, I will.

I love you

and when you are done figuring this whole thing out, I hope you’ll come to realize that you love me too.

Do you know how cruel it is to blame me over and over again for Jada’s choice? Jada’s choice? It is unfair. You know what? I’ve said this before, but I’m gonna say it again cuz maybe this time you’ll actually hear. I did not talk your ex-girlfriend into not having your baby. The way you go on and on accusing me.

It’s as if I dragged her to the abortion clinic myself. Oh, damn. Why you helped her make a choice. . You painted a total negative picture of what motherhood would be. If Jada wanted the baby, if she wanted to be a mother, then nothing I said or anyone said would’ve made a damn bit of difference. I totally disagree.

Of course you do. Oh, you know what? I no longer care if you agree or disagree, or if you think I’m the one who deprived you of your dreams of being a father. So how about this? How about we don’t discuss it anymore? Okay. Does that work for you? Dad works great for me. Oh, great. Now this sin is gonna go pray for your mother.

And you know what, while I’m at it, I’m gonna go pray for you too.

Did you talk to Gabby?

I did, but Stephan was there when I arrived. See your act. You got to her first. Lee. If we, if we hadn’t waited, if you hadn’t fought with me, please stop. Okay. I know how much you wanna be with Gabby, but this, this is over. No. Yes. She hates you for what you did. It is time to face reality and accept that she never wants to be with you again.

Okay. Let me know if you hear something Gabby. Hey, um, hey, we need your help. We need to find, we’ll roll. Why I now believe that that quack brainwashed me. Yeah. So Stephan’s agreed to have the mad doctor undo whatever it is he did. And after that, we’ll see where that leaves us. Uhhuh. Johnny thinks he knows where he is.

Yeah. Well, I’m sorry about, I got some bad news. I just got off the phone with the Jakarta police. They raided Ross lab, but he wasn’t there. He’s gone. Disappeared without a trace.

Judge craig: Case dismissed.

[ Gavel bangs ]

Judge craig: That’s it for today. Please remove ms. Carter’s handcuffs. Escort her from my chamber. She’s free to go.

Steffy: No, no, no. This is– this is wrong.

Finn: Your honor.

Steffy: This is wrong. She– sheila’s dangerous. She– she faked her own death. She hid from the police. This is wrong. She can’t be free. No, you have to do something. No! You can’t do this.

[ Inaudible ]

Steffy: Sheila’s free to go?

Finn: You’re just gonna let her walk out of here?

Judge craig: You won’t testify. There’s no other physical evidence that links Ms. Carter to the crime scene. No other witnesses, just the two of you who’ve decided not to press charges. And like I told you, as far as the escape goes, there’s new evidence that’s been brought to light that clearly implicates mr. Guthrie in forcibly removing her from custody. And with no other claims being brought forth, I have no choice. All charges are dropped.

Attorney: Thank you, your honor.

Judge craig: Ms. Carter will be in her cell awaiting official release.

Steffy: No!

Finn: Look, you can’t just– you can’t do this.

Steffy: No, you can’t let her go.

Judge craig: That’s all for today.

[ Sighs ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Judge craig: Come in.

Bill: Your honor.

Judge craig: Bill.

[ Birds chirping ]

Taylor: Yeah, I can see you again tomorrow at 10:00. Does that work? I know. Don’t forget you’ve survived a hundred percent of your worst days. Today is no different. Okay. See you then. Bye. Hi.

Eric: Hi, taylor.

Taylor: Ah, look at me taking over your office. I’m sorry, I had to– I had to call a patient. My lunch with brooke went a little longer than expected.

Eric: Wait, wait, wait. You had lunch with brooke?

Taylor: I did. And it was really fun.

Eric: I’m delighted to hear that.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, today is just a– it’s just a good day all around. You know what? I bet sheila is in front of the judge right now as we speak. And after all this is done, she’s gonna be back in prison where she belongs. All thanks to steffy and finn.

Eric: A judge called a preliminary meeting about all this?

Taylor: Yeah. Yes. It’s just protocol. I– I don’t know. But it’s kind of poetic justice that steffy and finn are gonna be the ones to bring sheila carter down.

Eric: Yeah. Well, it’s about time. She’s caused enough trouble for both of our families.

Taylor: Yes. It’s gonna feel so good to know that we don’t have to worry about her, ever again.

[ Door buzzing ]

Officer: Make yourself comfortable. I’ll get your personal effects. Once the paperwork is done, you’ll be free to go.

Sheila: Oh my god, I am really getting out of this dump.

Officer: Won’t be long now.

[ Sheila laughing ]

[ Door buzzing ]

Sheila: Mike. Oh, you came to say goodbye?

Mike: So, it’s true? You’re going free? I’m stuck in this place and you’re getting out?

Bill: It’s good to see you in person, craig. Trust that julie and audrey are well?

Judge craig: Still reaping the benefits of those two weeks on your yacht. The stella maris is just– it’s magnificent, bill. That’s the best vacation my family ever had. The mcmullens will always be indebted to you.

Bill: It was my pleasure. And by the way, I hired a new chef. She is magnificent. Please take the family out again, anytime.

Judge craig: Well, your continued generosity, uh, is appreciated.

Bill: You can count on it. As I’m sure I can count on yours.

Judge craig: I’ll have julie call and arrange the night when we can have you over for dinner. What do you say?

Bill: Sounds good. And thanks again for today.

Judge craig: Well, with the evidence you provided, what other choice did I have? I’ve got a hearing.

Bill: You mind if I make a phone call before I go?

Judge bill: No, make yourself at home.

Eric: Taylor, when I first came in, you were on the phone with a patient. Do you need to do more of that? ‘Cause you can use the office across the way.

Taylor: Oh, thank you. No, I am done. I can’t wait to get back to steffy and finn’s and get the official word that sheila is finally out of our lives.

Mike: So, you’re sailing off into the sunset and I’m stuck in this place.

Sheila: I thought you’d be happy for me.

Mike: Well, at least I’ll have my memories of our time together. Get me through the long nights in here.

Sheila: Oh, mike, you are so sweet.

Mike: Of course I’m happy for you. You shouldn’t be locked up. I sure am gonna miss you.

Sheila: Yeah, well, we do have a way of running into each other, don’t we? Maybe that’ll still hold true.

Mike: Hell of a move, by the way, getting bill spencer in your corner.

Sheila: That just– that just happened.

Mike: I know you, sheila. You made it happen and it was genius. Hey, just come see me every once in a while. Oh, no, listen, that’s probably too much to ask. Why would you voluntarily ever come back into this place? But it sure would mean a lot to me.

Sheila: I’ll try. Just depends on where my life is taking me at the time.

Mike: Well, wherever that is, think about me, in the yard, in my cell, loving you always. I never stopped having feelings for you, sheila. Can I ask you something?

Sheila: Sure.

Mike: One more thing.

Sheila: What?

[ Slapping ] You bad boy.

Mike: Yes, I am.

[ Sheila laughing ]

[ Door opens ]

Officer: You’re free to go.

Sheila: I guess this is it. I really thank you for everything, mike. I really mean that.

Mike: I love you, sheila. I’ll wait a lifetime for you.

Bill: That’s good to hear. I’ll have my people send over the contract. Yeah, you, too.

Steffy: You. You! I should have known.

Finn: Whoa, whoa, hey, hey.

Steffy: Oh, my god. You were the one. You’re behind guthrie’s affidavit. The compelling evidence of him forcing sheila out of jail.

Finn: You own the judge.

Steffy: You somehow got him assigned to sheila’s trial.

Bill: You did the right thing not testifying, not pressing charges.

Steffy: Oh, my god. I can’t believe you’re doing this, bill. The length you’re going to. For once in your life, can you just not lie? Tell me the truth. Are– is– is sheila blackmailing you? Is she threatening someone that you love?

Finn: Look, you bought a judge to free sheila!

Bill: There’s no point in fighting this. You will lose. More importantly, taylor will lose.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Bill: Sheila is a free woman.

Steffy: Oh, my…

Bill: So, your mother will maintain her freedom as well.

Steffy: I’m begging you, can you just come to your senses and realize what you are doing is wrong? Sheila is using you. We can work together. We can– we can call the judge and– and we’ll find a way to get this dangerous psychopath off of the streets. Oh. You obviously don’t care about me. Or finn. Or your granddaughters. Do you realize if sheila is free, kelly and beth are in harm’s way. They are not safe. And– and sheila is not above using them to get to hayes and finn.

Bill: I give you my word. My word. You’ll have nothing to fear from sheila.

Steffy: Your– your word? I hate you, bill. I am never gonna forgive you for this. Never! Do you hear me? Never!

[ Steffy sobbing ] I’m jonathan lawson

[ Gate clanging ]

Officer: Might as well get used to it. You’re gonna be hearing that sound for a good long time, guthrie.

Mike: Yeah, I know. May not have my freedom, but… at least I’ll always have my memories of that very special lady.

[ Inaudible ]

[ Whirring ]

Sheila: I like you, mike.

Don’t stop being my friend.

Because you should know better

than anyone what happens

to my enemies.

Mike: Okay! Okay!

I get the point.

Sheila: Just wanna make sure

of it.

Mike: Sheila.

[ Dog growling ]

Sheila: Welcome to

forrester creations, mike!

Just this once.

Mike: Fine by me.

[ Sighing ]

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Door opening ]

Sheila: I– I could barely– I could barely breathe in the car. I– I ke– I kept waiting for flashing lights and sirens, uh, and for someone to pull us over and say that they were taking me back in– into custody. I just… I don’t know how I’m ever gonna thank you. You really came through for me, bill.

Bill: You’re worth it.

Sheila: There– there aren’t too many people that would agree with that.

Bill: Most people don’t know you the way I do.

Sheila: I just– it feels amazing to be fully seen. I’m– that– I’m out of that– that hell hole. It’s– and it’s because of you. Your plan, it– it– it worked. You– you got your judge onto my case and– and– and finn and steffy, they didn’t testify against me. It… you are one hell of a man, bill spencer.

Finn: So, what the hell just happened? Sheila’s free?

Steffy: Because of bill. What was he thinking? He knows sheila. He knows her murderous history.

Finn: Well, obviously, he doesn’t care. Seems to make her more his type.

Steffy: Oh, god. He said he was gonna use my mother’s name as his shooter. He swore he wasn’t gonna do that.

Finn: Yeah, so you trusted him.

Steffy: I– yeah, I did. I mean, I know, I know bill can be ruthless and he’s not above using something as leverage to get what he wants, but not against us. For sheila? That is unthinkable. Look, I am– I’m just– I’m so sorry I put you in this position. This is all my fault.

Finn: No, hey. It’s okay. All right, your problems are my problems. We’re a team. And we never lose sight of that.

Steffy: It killed me to watch sheila walk away. All I had to do was just be honest. Tell them what happened and she would’ve been locked up forever. But it was too risky. I really believe that bill would’ve turned my mother in.

Finn: Look, he gave us a terrible choice, but we made the right one. Okay? It was the only one. But the question now is, how do we explain not testifying?

Steffy: Oh, god.

Finn: And dropping these charges, especially to taylor?

Steffy: I can’t think about that right now. I’m still spiraling after everything that happened.

[ Door opening, taylor gasping]

Taylor: There they are. The heroes of the day!

[ Taylor giggling ] Okay. How does it feel to know that because of you, sheila will spend the rest of her life behind bars?

Hey! Did you hear?

Sheila: It’s finally happened. I’m free. I’m– I’m free. I– I kept warning people not to count me out. And they kept saying that I– I didn’t stand a chance. I would never see the light of day. That there would– there would be no way back. But there’s always a way back. All of this was possible because of– of your kindness and your support. And I am so grateful. So lucky. You inspire me, just watching you work. The way you blackmailed steffy and– and finn into not saying anything about the shooting, and the way you masterfully manipulated your own judge onto my case.

Bill: I put a lot on the line for you.

Sheila: I’m aware.

Bill: I need to know that I’m not going to regret it. That you will never let me down.

Sheila: You don’t need to worry about that. I will always be your partner. For life.

Taylor: Come on, guys. Don’t keep me in suspense. Please, please. I– I– I wanna feel like I was there. I wanna feel like I was watching sheila’s face as you guys testified. Oh, my god, the satisfaction you must be feeling right now. Right? Come on, guys. Justice was served!

Steffy: About that. There’s something you need to know, mom.

Taylor: Okay? I’ve been waiting all day for this. What?

Finn: It doesn’t have the ending you’re expecting.

Taylor: What does that mean?

Steffy: She’s free. All the charges have been dropped.

Taylor: What? That doesn’t make sense. Okay. Hold on a second. The judge just let her walk after you guys testified that she shot you?

Steffy: Finn and I never pressed charges, mom.

Taylor: Uh, you both want sheila to go to prison, right?

Finn: Yeah. Yeah.

Taylor: But you didn’t give a testimony? I don’t understand. Guys, stop looking at each other, look at me. Tell me what’s going on. Why isn’t sheila in prison right now?

Steffy: Bill said he, uh–

Taylor: Bill? Bill spencer? What does he have to do with you pressing charges?

Finn: He’s got everything to do with us not pressing charges.

Steffy: Bill said if we testify against sheila, he’ll let it be known that he was shot, too. By you, mom. By you.

Kyle: Here you go, babe.

Summer: Mm, you really are the best husband.

Kyle: Oh, bringing you coffee’s a pretty low bar, but I’ll take it.

Summer: You know what I mean. Thank you for getting on board with me taking harrison to the textile show in paris. I cannot wait to show him the little boats that kids play with at the tuileries gardens. Oh, and I already know he’s gonna love the crepes.

Kyle: Well, you’re making me jealous I’m gonna miss all of it. You have to send me a ton of pictures.

Summer: Of course we will. We’re not gonna be gone for that long, though I hope it’s long enough for this whole thing with diane and stark to get resolved. I just want him out of our lives for good without any more drama or danger.

Kyle: I know. I know. I wish I’d never even heard that guy’s name.

Jeremy: Thank you.

Diane: Good morning. You’re up and at it early.

Jeremy: Being incarcerated has given me a new appreciation for life. I don’t like to waste time.

Diane: Is that the tie I gave you all those years ago?

Jeremy: Mm. I’m flattered you remembered.

Diane: Ooh, I like your style, which is why I am carefully planning how to surprise you with my act of good faith.

Jeremy: Sounds like you’re enjoying your assignment.

Diane: Maybe a little. It’s been lovely being back in genoa city playing mother and grandmother, but I am a woman with wants and needs.

Jeremy: Hmm. Yes, you are. Please sit down and catch me up on this plan of yours. I am dying to know all the details.

[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Mug thuds ]

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hi. Sorry. I probably should have texted you before just stopping by, but I just dropped off dominic and louise at a play date, and i thought maybe we could go grab a coffee.

Devon: Mm.

Abby: Or I could just leave. I can tell that you’re not in the mood. What’s wrong? Can I help?

Phyllis: Hey. Um, I’m glad I ran into you.

Tucker: Yeah? Why’s that?

Phyllis: Did you mean what you said…when you said you wanted to burn it all down?

Tucker: Deadly serious. But you blew me off when I asked the question, so deal’s off the table.

Phyllis: No. I just… I’m sorry. I cut you off too soon. I want to continue this conversation.

Tucker: Having second thoughts?

Ashley: And we’re getting ready to ship the gift boxes to the stores in time for valentine’s day.

Jack: Everything going smoothly?

Ashley: Pretty much. We have a new head of distribution. I’m just gonna keep my eye on him.

Jack: Is that really necessary?

Ashley: I don’t know. But I’m not in the mood for any surprises, so I’ll just keep a tight rein.

Jack: Well, I respect your judgment.

Ashley: Good.

Jack: You were home late last night.

Ashley: I wasn’t aware I had a curfew.

Jack: I was only saying, i was in the living room reading a book when you blew by, and you seemed pretty upset. If this is about our latest dust-up over diane, I thought maybe we —

Ashley: No. Stop right there. Not diane. Tucker.

Jack: What’s he done now?

Ashley: Um, I found out that chancellor-winters’ ipo adviser audra charles was actually feeding tucker information, presumably to take over the company.

Jack: And how did you learn about that?

Ashley: Well, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time, jack. I saw devon basically cut tucker out of his life. And I found some evidence. It looks like tucker came to genoa city to go after jabot. So, all the claims he made about wanting devon and me back in his life were just lies… like we thought. To you, it may just be an elevator.

Additional sponsorship

provided by… my blood pressure is borderline.

Phyllis: I realize I should have been more generous with my time. I mean, not necessarily to join you in some scheme you have to burn it all down. You need a reality check. You come in here. You’re throwing your money around. Your private jets. People are onto you. People here are smart.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: You’re never gonna be one of us.

Tucker: Really?

[ Clears throat ] But you’ve been here for decades, haven’t you? And from what I’ve observed, you’re still an outsider.

Phyllis: I have family here.

Tucker: Yeah. So do I. Devon, dominic. Big reason why I came back.

Phyllis: You’re not here fighting for your family. Uh, there’s also something else you should know about me. When it comes to my family, I fix what’s broken.

Tucker: From what I hear, everyone’s angry at you for taking your vendetta with diane too far.

Phyllis: Oh, who cares? I ran into a difficult patch. I’ll fix it. I always do. You’re running into your first headwind, and you’re unraveling. So, if you really care about your family, go fix it with them. Or get in your private jet and leave. Or stay…and burn all down. That’s your option.

Jack: What kind of evidence did you find?

Ashley: Um, jabot’s financial information.

Jack: Oh, geez.

Ashley: You know, the same reports that diane was supposed to get for him.

Jack: Diane said that never took place. She never passed on any intel. He confirmed it.

Ashley: I don’t care, okay? They’re both pathological liars. Let’s just leave it there.

Jack: You okay?

Ashley: I’m fine.

Jack: I can’t help but wonder if a part of you wishes you were wrong about tucker’s motives. I know the two of you have spent a lot of time together. Is it possible that in trying to win his trust, maybe he succeeded in winning back some of yours?

Ashley: I was always in control, jack. I knew what I was doing, and I still do. You are the one that’s being fooled by a manipulative ex.

Jack: And there it is — the hostility toward diane that colors your whole life.

Ashley: And you are colorblind.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs heavily ]

[ Door closes ]

Jack: So, have you decided exactly what you’re going to procure as your act of loyalty?

Diane: You’ll know soon enough. You can’t rush these things.

Jeremy: That sounds like a stall tactic. I’m thinking that perhaps you need a deadline to prove that you’re up to the task and able to work under pressure.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Jack: I can’t risk getting back in business with you if you’re not able to act swiftly and decisively.

Diane: Sounds like you’re giving me an order.

Jeremy: How astute. I am.

Diane: Jeremy, if this partnership is going to work, it needs to be a little different than last time. I can’t be left in the dark like I was for so long. This needs to be a game of equals.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] That is a bold request.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Well, I’m a lot bolder than i was when we first met. And you’re in my town now, so I’m the one calling the shots. Besides, if I want to take my time to get this proof, prolong the fun, then I don’t see why you’re opposed to that. Isn’t that where the thrill lies — in the anticipation of the score?

Jeremy: You are really coming into your own. But I’m not budging. You have until tomorrow. The abcs of ckd

Kyle: I don’t like the idea that you’re fleeing with harrison to get away from my mother and whatever threat stark poses. I wish he’d never come back into her life, but the fact is, he is here and he needs to be dealt with.

Summer: Come here.

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Summer: I love you so much, and I know that you would much rather be in paris with us. But I promise you, we are gonna video-chat you every day.

Kyle: Thank you for trying to reassure me, but part of what’s so upsetting is that you think I’m putting my mother first. I love her, and I need to help her through this latest threat, but you and harrison are my world. You know that, right?

Summer: I do. And we’re gonna get through this, just like we’ve gotten through everything else.

[ Knock on door ]

Kyle: Mm. Hold that thought.

Phyllis: I’d like to speak with summer.

Tucker: Hey.

Jack: What the hell are you doing here?

Tucker: I’m looking for ashley.

Jack: Ashley wants nothing to do with you.

Tucker: She tell you that?

Jack: In so many words. She also told me you came to town targeting jabot, conspiring with chancellor-winters’ ipo consultant to make a move on them, as well. On top of that, you’re blackmailing diane, deceiving and manipulating ashley. You’ve been a busy fellow. I’m amazed you have the nerve to show your face around here.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: You’re very welcome.

Abby: Okay, what has you so riled up?

Devon: Um…tucker. Tucker does. I — I had someone to look into whether or not there was a connection between him and this woman that we hired to help us with the ipo named audra.

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Devon: And of course there was, dating back years. And after I confronted her and fired her, I went to tucker’s hotel suite, which you should know your mom was at.

Abby: Well, this is about you right now. Um, what happened?

Devon: I just — I went off on him and I told him what i know. But the frustrating thing is that the truth has been in front of my face this entire time if i would have just looked hard enough because we were all suspicious when tucker showed up to town. I asked him straight out if he has any interest in chancellor-winter, and he swore to me he didn’T. He said he was here to reconnect with me and to meet dominic. And I bought that. And I let him get close to our son, which I want to apologize to you for because you’ve never not been wrong about him.

Abby: No, I bought in, too, at least to the idea of dominic knowing his grandfather.

Devon: The grandfather that dominic deserves is not here anymore — ’cause neil was somebody that you could trust and you could admire. Tucker is just a sack of lies, pretending to care about his family so he can get what he wants in business. It’s — it’s sick. I look around, and I feel like my family is disappearing.

Abby: No. No.

[ Mug thuds ] Don’t say that.

Devon: Well…

Abby: You have a son, a little boy who’s on a play date right now who thinks you hung the moon. You have family that is never gonna disappear.

Nate: This candidate is bold, outside-the-box thinker who has an aggressive approach to growth and innovation.

Victoria: Well, that sounds like the perfect fit for us.

Nate: Yeah, I think so. She’s definitely the kind of visionary I’d like to have by my side here at newman media.

Victoria: Who is this woman? She sounds too good to be true.

Nate: Well, she’s new to genoa city, but she’s worked internationally and consulted for large corporations and conglomerates similar to newman.

Victoria: Huh. And her name is? You want to hire audra charles?

Victoria: I thought that audra was working with chancellor-winters on their ipo. What happened with that?

Nate: Uh, from my understanding, the ipo is on course, but audra’s work is done and she’s ready for a new challenge. She was actually ready to leave town, but I convinced her to stick around and come talk to me about the opportunity here.

Victoria: Well, I have to admit I do find the idea intriguing.

Nate: I thought it was at least worth exploring.

Victoria: Yeah. Well, I would like to meet with her, as well, if that’s alright with you. We crossed paths before, but i didn’t really get a good sense of her.

Nate: Okay. Well, let’s change that. If your next block of time is free, she’ll be here shortly.

Abby: I understand how upsetting it must be to have found out about tucker and this audra woman.

Devon: Oh, yeah. And I’ll tell you, she — she didn’t leave without getting in one last dig, too. She pointed out how, as a ceo, i was mistaken about her and nate

and tucker. And I didn’t like hearing that. That didn’t make me feel good at all. It kept me up all night thinking about how I could have misjudged so many things and how I missed so many signs and just how I let everything get as bad as it’s gotten.

Abby: Stop. Don’t blame yourself, okay? Audra is the one who’s wrong. You did question her. And you’ve been suspicious of tucker since he came to town. And nate — I mean, you knew he was spinning out and that he was unreliable. You told me all of these things.

Devon: I know.

Abby: You were right.

Devon: I know I did, but think about how long it took me to figure all this stuff out. Ultimately, I still went against my instincts, and I still let myself get swayed by other people and their agendas. That’s the real mistake. And that’s gonna stop right now.

Abby: What are you gonna do?

Devon: I will show you. Jill, this is devon. I’d like for you to give me a call back as soon as possible because I need to meet with you today. Thanks.

Phyllis: Hey, kyle, can i have a minute alone with summer?

Kyle: Normally I would say yes, but I think I should stick around, just in case.

Phyllis: In case of what?

Summer: It’s okay. Maybe you could get started packing for harrison?

Kyle: You sure?

Summer: Yeah.

[ Sighs ] What’s so important, mom?

Phyllis: Where’s harrison going that he needs luggage?

Summer: I’m taking him with me to a textile show in paris. I thought we could make a little vacation out of it.

Phyllis: Ah. You’re trying to get away from diane, aren’t you?

Summer: [ Sighs ] I wouldn’t mind putting some distance between us and the danger she’s facing, so…

Phyllis: Is kyle going with you?

Summer: He feels like he needs to stay here.

Phyllis: Hmm. Is there something going on between you and kyle?

Summer: No. Kyle and I are fine. What — what — what was it that you needed to talk to me about so urgently, mom?

Phyllis: Hey, you know what? I have a great idea. Let me go to paris with you.

Summer: You and I have been barely speaking, and now you want to crash our mother/son trip?

Phyllis: Crash? Listen, uh…I want to fix whatever’s going on between us. That’s all I want to do.

Summer: [ Scoffs ] You said that I broke your heart by not telling you the truth about diane. What’s changed?

Tucker: Okay, I’m just gonna tell you exactly what I told ashley. My interest in going after jabot — and chancellor-winters, for that matter — is old news. It was the plan that brought me to town, yes. So, you gonna judge a fellow business mogul for his ambitions?

Jack: I judge you for plotting a hostile takeover, yeah.

Tucker: Yeah, well, that all went away as soon as I started spending time with ashley. And even then, my only interest in jabot was helping her get the control that she deserves at this place.

Jack: Oh, you don’t have to concern yourself with ashley’s position in this company. She has total autonomy.

Tucker: Over the piece of the pie that you sliced for her. You undervalue her, jack. Which is why I realized what she actually needs, what she deserves is freedom, her own place to shine. So I offered her a path towards independence — her own company. Mm-hmm. She tell you that? That’s me before dawn powerwash.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. We’re here today to set the record

Jack: Hard to imagine ashley working alongside you after what she’s just learned. If you think that’s still a possibility, you’re deluded.

Tucker: Regardless of what ultimately happens, I know for certain she needs to get away from this place and you. It’S…

[ Scoffs ] In fact, she should have never come back from paris. She deserves so much more than being relegated to your shadow and being sidelined at a lab.

Jack: You don’t even have a right to an opinion about what is best for ashley. After all the pain you’ve put her through? I want you gone. If ashley wants to talk to you, well, she’ll let you know. In the meantime, you’re not welcome here.

Phyllis: I hate that you’re caught between kyle and diane.

Summer: Really?

Phyllis: Yeah. Really. It must be very difficult for you.

Summer: Uh…I’m not buying this.

Phyllis: You’re not buying what?

Summer: Oh, you talked to daniel, didn’t you? Oh, my god. I told him specifically not to say anything to you about our conversation.

Phyllis: Wait, what are you talking about? I don’t know what you mean.

Summer: Yes, you do. Mom, I know how stubborn you are. You wouldn’t have marched over here to confront me if nothing had changed.

Phyllis: Summer, I had a realization.

Summer: Because of what daniel told you, right? Oh, you don’t want to admit it? Fine. You know what? I’ll — I’ll call him. Let’s see what he has to say.

Phyllis: Oh, don’t call daniel. Don’t call daniel.

Nate: Audra.

Audra: Hello.

Nate: Come in. Ah. Allow me.

Audra: Thank you. Oh! Uh, I didn’t realize I was gonna be meeting with the ceo of all of newman, as well. I might have prepared a little differently.

Victoria: No, no, not at all. This is nate’s meeting. I just thought I’d sit in.

Audra: Well, I appreciate you taking the time.

Victoria: I’m actually surprised that you left chancellor-winters. I would think that you would have wanted to see the ipo through to the end.

Audra: Unfortunately, I can’t discuss any private business regarding my consulting clients. But I will say that I always see things through and would never leave an assignment prematurely.

Victoria: Well, that is very good to know. And of course, nate has spoken very highly of you, and we’re just pleased that we’re able to speak with you.

Audra: The pleasure is mine. Um, I am excited to pick your brains regarding newman media’s place in the market.

Nate: I know you haven’t had a lot of time to research the company since I just found out about your availability. So, no pressure on that front.

Audra: I did some reading. I mean, most of the night, if I’m being honest. When I dive into something, I go headfirst, all-in. So, shall we get started? I have some questions and thoughts.

Jill: I can’t believe we’re having this call again.

Devon: Oh, neither can I, jill. I assume you’ve heard about audra?

Jill: Yes. Lily told me last night.

Devon: Before we get into why and how that happened —

Jill: I’m not blaming you. This is on me. I brought that woman on board, and, believe me, I am furious at myself because the last thing we need is to be utterly humiliated in the public eye because we were conned by her. And, of course, we have to put the ipo on hold one more time so we can thoroughly check out her prep to make sure that we were not sabotaged by her. Should we have lily in on this call?

Devon: No, we don’t need to get lily on the call because i actually didn’t call to talk about the ipo.

Jill: Really? What could be more important?

Devon: I wanted to discuss our partnership in general.

Jill: Alright.

Devon: I’ve come to realize, jill, that merging chancellor and hamilton-winters has been a mistake. And I think that the idea of this epic legacy for myself and for lily and for nate has, you know, in all honesty, been a disaster.

Jill: What are you saying?

Devon: I’m saying that I want to buy back hamilton-winters. I’m jonathan lawson

Diane: Do you have a minute?

Jack: Sure. What’s up?

Diane: [ Sighs ] I saw jeremy at society this morning, and I think I’ve convinced him that I’m sincere about getting physical proof of my loyalty without giving any details.

Jack: Good.

Devon: Yes, but now the clock is ticking on the next phase of our agenda — to draw him into an illegal activity and get him arrested.

Jack: I know we all want to move this along as quickly as possible, but we have to proceed cautiously, make sure that it’s all well thought out.

Diane: It is thought out. We’re stealing something from nikki.

Jack: We don’t want to be sloppy or rush into something that could backfire.

Diane: Alright, alright, that’s good in theory, but we don’t have time. Jeremy gave me a deadline — tomorrow.

Abby: Okay, great. We’ll see you then. Bye.

Ashley: Hi!

Abby: Mom, hi! Are you here for breakfast?

Ashley: No. Actually, I want to talk to you.

Abby: Okay. Um, I think I know what this is about.

[ Chuckles ] Devon told me what happened.

Ashley: Oh.

Abby: Yeah, he said when he walked in, he saw you and tucker together?

Ashley: Yeah. I feel stupid. I think I thought because I knew he was trying to manipulate me that I — I couldn’t be manipulated.

Abby: But he still got to you?

Ashley: A little bit. He did. He got to me. Yeah. He’s good. He, uh, offered to finance my own cosmetics company that i would run.

Abby: Wait, were you actually thinking of leaving jabot?

Ashley: I don’t know. I mean, it’s a nice thought, getting away from this whole diana and jack situation. And tucker made it very appealing, but, eh…

Abby: Well, trust me — no one knows what it’s like to want to venture out on your own more than me.

Ashley: Right. I think my brain kept telling me that I shouldn’t trust tucker, but my heart just couldn’t help giving him the benefit of the doubt, you know, just a little bit.

[ Voice breaking ] A little bit.

Jill: I understand you’re not a fan of the ipo, but this is a very extreme reaction.

Devon: I disagree, jill. I think it’s actually a very logical solution to the issues we’ve been having. And I also think that there’s some truth to some of the stuff that nate said to me.

Jill: About what?

Devon: Just about how protective I am over what neil and I created and about how i don’t want anybody on the outside to influence his legacy. I certainly don’t want to lose more control. So I want hamilton-winters back. And you know that I have the money to get it.

Jill: Oh, I don’t doubt that, but I’m telling you, this is a huge mistake. What does lily have to say about it?

Devon: I haven’t said anything to lily yet because i wanted to give you the respect to tell you first. But I will say that if you or lily prevent me from getting the company back, I will not have a problem with being public about my lack of support for this ipo.

Audra: My main focus would be on growth, but with a clearly defined mission.

Nate: We’re on board with that.

Audra: Great. So, I guess my last question would be, do you think you have a strong grasp on what newman media’s long-term strategy is? Or is that something I can help define?

Nate: Another good question.

[ Chuckles ]

Audra: I hope I didn’t bombard you with too many.

Nate: Uh, no, no, not at all. From the discussions victoria and I had, I think you have similar thoughts to ours. You already seem to have a pretty good understanding of what newman media’s strong points are, as well as where we can grow and improve. As far as specifics go, I think we would come up with those together.

Victoria: I agree. I really like what you’ve brought to the table so far. And I enjoy being challenged by a fresh perspective. And I think that some of your thoughts on international media are incredible.

Audra: Those are just my preliminary thoughts. I would have a lot more ideas if I had the chance to really dig in.

Nate: Well, you have given us a lot to think about. Thank you for coming in, audra.

Audra: Yeah. Look, I know we’re all busy, so I’ll be clear. I like the company, and I like your leadership style. I’m pretty instinctive, and i know what I want, so I’ll just say it. I’d be ready to give this a shot if you’ll have me.

Jack: Stark wants you to steal something by tomorrow? That’s impossible.

Diane: Well, we have to make it possible. And to impress jeremy, whatever I take from nikki has to be of great value and hard to get. Now, I’ve been thinking about the ranch, and I’m sure that security is tight. So, what do you think? Maybe I should ask michael for help since he works for —

Jack: No, no, definitely not. That’s too risky.

Diane: [ Sighs ] You’re probably right. But it’s not like I’m an experienced thief.

Jack: I know.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I mean, should we involve nikki and — and get her help? Not that she would ever want to help me because she hates me.

Jack: I don’t think you have any chance of getting onto the ranch, so you don’t have to worry about that. And nikki can’t be involved.

Diane: So, where does that leave us?

Jack: I think I have another idea.

Without the right start

to your day…

Phyllis: Um, alright, listen.

[ Sighs ] Daniel may have told me a couple things that you relayed to him.

Summer: Hmm.

Phyllis: He’s upset. It’s killing him, this rift between us.

Summer: [ Scoffs ] “Rift”? Mom, that’s putting it really nicely. You’ve been blaming me for not taking your side in an untenable situation.

Phyllis: I know. I know I have. I mean, daniel got me to see that I was putting you in a horrible position, making you choose between your husband and your mother. I should never do that.

[ Chuckles ] Ever, ever. I mean, I let my animosity for diane get the best of me. I am so sorry. Summer, I am so sorry. I just didn’t realize I was doing that to you. Hey, baby, you mean the world to me. I never want to put you in a bad position. So, hey, come on. Let’s go to paris. Let’s go to paris now with harrison. How much fun, right? Or — I don’t know — you could stay. You could stay, and we could fix this.

Summer: Mom, don’t give me that look.

Phyllis: What look? What look? The look that a mother gives a daughter when, you know, she wants her to do something?

Summer: [ Scoffs ] Look, I… I’ll discuss it with kyle, but there are reasons that I want harrison out of town. So, if the situation doesn’t change, then we will be going.

Abby: Our stupid hearts, making life more complicated.

Ashley: Yeah, I’ll say. Like he said, I was with tucker in his suite, you know? Yeah. And while I was there, um, i happened to find some of jabot’s financial data stashed in his desk.

Abby: That bastard. What did he have to say for himself?

Ashley: Just more lies and more excuses, as usual.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Ashley: So, honey, needless to say, I could use a little distance, you know, from diane and tucker and even jack. He and I have been fighting so much, it’s ridiculous. I have to try to salvage that relationship somehow.

Abby: What are you saying?

Ashley: I know you’re going through a tough time, but I want you to know that I’m always here for you, 24/7. I just think it’s best if i leave genoa city, just for a while.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Jill: How dare you threaten me like this? You know if you publicly say that you don’t support the ipo, it’s gonna make chancellor look incredibly weak.

Devon: And I don’t want it to come to that, jill, but I also don’t want to keep going to work feeling the way I do, okay? That’s how important it is to get my company back.

Jill: This is all so out of the blue.

Devon: Is it really, though? ‘Cause I don’t think that anything has gone to plan for our companies since, I mean, starting at the launch party. And I don’t see things getting better. And if you and lily — if you guys want to take chancellor public, that should be your call. I shouldn’t be the one to hold you back from doing that. So, I would love if we can just end things peacefully and quickly and if you could understand where I’m coming from.

Jill: Look, I am aware that you have been having some personal conflicts lately. And I know it’s not my place to discuss them or to offer opinions, but please, please take some time and let’s revisit this.

Devon: I don’t think that time is gonna fix anything, jill. I assumed that you and lily would reconsider this ipo, especially after what just happened with audra. But you guys haven’T. So I don’t really have another choice.

Jill: I’m very sorry this is your decision. I have to discuss it with lily. But I still hope there’s a chance you’ll change your mind.

Devon: Not this time. I know what I’m doing is right, and my decision is final.

Victoria: I admire your moxie, and I’ve enjoyed our talk, but it appears that you think that you’re the one interviewing us rather than the other way around.

Audra: What can I say? I am who I am. There’s no use in hiding it because you’d find out soon enough. So, we might as well decide now if you think I’m a fit.

Victoria: Fair enough.

Audra: I’m not interested in working somewhere that doesn’t want to hear my ideas or give me the necessary support to implement them. That said, I’m very much a team player. And I think the best ideas come from open dialogue between leadership and staff.

Victoria: You took a risk. And it worked. I like your style. I have another meeting that i need to get to, so I will leave the decision up to you.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

[ Footsteps departing ]

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] That could have gone the other way.

Audra: Yeah. Go big or go home. Are we doing this or what?

Nate: We’re doing this.

Jack: Victor and nikki have a pied–terre in chicago. I used to go there with nikki. I know the alarm entry code, if they haven’t changed that. I also know the secret compartment where nikki keeps her prized jewelry.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Look, I don’t know what’s there right now, but she usually keeps a few things there for when they’re in town.

Diane: Okay. Wow. That sounds like a plan. And worst-case scenario, if the building security stops me, I’ll just talk my way out of it.

Jack: No, I’m not sure about that. The security team there has been there for a very long time. They know everybody that goes in and out. That’s why maybe I should go there.

Diane: No. No. That’s not an option. I’m not going to allow you to implicate yourself like that.

Jack: Well, given stark’s deadline, we don’t really have a choice. I have a better chance of getting into the apartment than you. I know the building. The staff there knows me from years ago. I’ll get in. I’ll get out. I’ll bring a piece of nikki’s dazzling jewelry back, hand it to you, you give it to stark as if you stole it, and he’ll have what he wants — proof that you will go to great lengths to be back in with him. The deadline is looming.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

ooh, what a treat! Dessert is exactly what the doctor ordered. Thank you. Doctor told you to have dessert? No. It’s just something that people say, bud. Thank you. Why do they say it? Well, in this case, it means that I can’t think of anything better than family time — just the three of us. When my little sister’s born, there’s gonna be four of us. Four! That’s a lot! Carly: Hey! Right on time. Hi. Uh… what’s going on? Is everything okay? I just would, um — I’d feel like an ass if I kissed you and then I ambushed you with a question. Oh. Okay. Ask me the question. Why don’t you want to find willow’s birth mother? Where did these papers come from? Well, aunt liesl, she cleaned out britt’s office, including some G.H. Papers that she shouldn’t have. I was gonna sort through it and return the papers that belong to the h– why? See for yourself.

[ Exhales sharply ] Willow’s getting chemotherapy.

[ Knock on door ] Joss. Can I come in? Of course. I can’t stop thinking about britt. If she hadn’t held off the hook, I would be dead right now! Joss, stop. No, no, no. No! Listen to me. I couldn’t have held her off on my own. And by the time you got to the pier, it would have been too late. Britt got cut saving me. The hook was after me. This all happened because of me! Joss, stop, stop. Take a breath. What you’re feeling is called “survivor’s guilt.” And if you’re not careful, it can really mess you up.

[ Monitor beeping ] Can I ask you a question? I don’t know if I’ll be able to answer it, but sure. Do you think my lawyer is any good? I mean, I-I’m being accused of these terrible things that I don’t remember doing. And mr. Grey says that if I can find out where I’ve been hiding, then I-I would have an alibi. Spencer. Grandmother, thank you for meeting me here. I wanted to see you. Maybe you don’t approve of me moving in with uncle sonny, but I did have to get out of wyndemere. No, no, I’m happy that you’re with sonny. I just wanted to see for myself how you were doing. Truthfully? I’m heartbroken that britt is dead. And if esme killed her, if she is the hook, then she needs to be held accountable. Are we waiting for a warrant or what? If robert can get the judge to sign in the next 10 minutes. Otherwise, we’ll ask mr. Cassadine to cooperate. I wouldn’t hold your breath on that. When I questioned him this morning, the only thing he would tell me is that he was the father of esme’s baby. Did the lab turn up anything in her personal effects? The only thing that really stood out was the christmas ornament. Are we sure she had it on her? Yeah. Yeah, she definitely did. I asked the doctor. She had it on her. Okay. Can we trace it? It wasn’t mass-produced. Apparently it’s from poland, and it’s been hand-painted. So if we find out who painted it, then we can find out maybe who they sold it to. Apparent ly there was a firein the north tower bedroom. Seems a christmas tree went up in flames. Which begs the question, who would put a christmas tree in an unoccupied bedroom? You want to know

my guess? Same person that put toiletries in the bathroom or clothes in the closet. Oh, nothing fancy — just some sweats and the like, you know, loose-fitting, you know, suitable for a pregnant woman. You’ve been keeping esme prisoner, haven’t you? Right under my nose.

this is really personal medical information. Maybe we shouldn’t be looking at this. Nina, do you think this is a violation of your ethics? Look at it this way. I found it. You didn’T.

[ Sighs ] What are you gonna do with this information? Willow is wiley’s mother. She’s carrying my grandchild. I don’t care what’s going on as far as the fighting and all that stuff. She’s still family. So I’m gonna do everything I can to find out about her condition. Those are my ethics. From now on, I don’t care about right or wrong. I only want to help willow. What’s my sister’s name? Actually, your mom and I haven’t chosen one yet. What do you think it should be? Annabelle the third!

[ Chuckles ] Okay. It might be a little confusing for the baby and the dog to have the exact same name, so any other ideas? Ashoka! My sister could be a jedi padawan! Ashoka? That is —

[ Chuckles ] That is — that’s — that’s interesting. We’ll have to think about that one, okay, bud? What do you — what do you — what do you think, mommy? Oh, whatever you two decide.

[ Chuckles ] You didn’t like your cookie? Um, I-I think my eyes were bigger than my stomach. I’m gonna save it for a late-night treat. Speaking of late night, it’s almost your bedtime. Okay? So let’s get upstairs, get you in your pjs, and read a bedtime story. Night, mommy! Night, my love. Oh, sweet dreams.

[ Chuckles ] Night, ashoka. Take good care of mommy. So what story should we read? “My truck is stuck!” And “goodnight moon.” Michael: Oh. Two? Alright.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sobbing ] Ever since I told you that I was searching for willow’s birth parents, I just… I’ve felt resistance. Like, w-when I told you I tracked down a source, you questioned their credibility. And then I mentioned that I had some great information, and you were — you were opposed… telling willow. You think I was wrong? Well, at the time, the reason seemed to make sense to me. Once we told her willow that her birth mother was dead, why get her hopes up when we found out that that was a lie? Why stress her out by saying that she might have been kidnapped and stolen from her birth parents? But then… I took a step back. And there was a pattern there, and the pattern became very clear. You don’t want willow’s birth parents to be found. No. I don’T. It is one thing to be grateful to britt. I’m grateful, too. I don’t even want to think about how I would be feeling if you had gotten killed. But there’s only one person who is responsible for britt’s death, and that is the hook. And, look, I am sorrier that I can ever say that I’m not a better shot and I didn’t kill the hook when I had the chance. I’m sorry, too. I mean, the world would be a much safer and… happier place. But even if you had shot the hook, there’s no guarantee that britt would have survived. There was poison in her system. She didn’t even know it. Do you think that it would have made a difference? We took off, and we left britt to cover for us. Does that make us partly responsible for her death? Esme: Mr. Grey seems very competent. He seems like he cares about defending me, but…

[ Monitor beeping ] I’m not paying him. He’s defending me for free. How do I know that I can trust him or his strategy? He says that if I can get an alibi — but I have no idea where I’ve been for the past few months — or my whole life, for that matter. I don’t know how I got here. I don’t know who got me pregnant. You’ll remember. What if I don’t? Traumatic memory loss isn’t uncommon. Permanent memory loss does happen, but it’s extremely rare, so the chances that you’ll remember are good. But to answer your question, mr. Grey is a great attorney. I think you can trust him. Spencer: If esme is the hook, then britt is dead because of me because I brought esme to port charles. No. We have talked about this. You are not responsible for anything that esme does. And if esme is the hook, that hasn’t been proven yet. Look, she’s in her third trimester of her pregnancy. I think it’s highly unlikely that she’d have the physical strength to attack britt with a hook. You do not know esme like I do. She can do a lot of damage when she wants. Alright, but… there isn’t just esme to consider now. There is also her baby. Did you have a plan, an end game, or were you just winging it, keeping her prisoner because, I don’t know, you couldn’t think of anything else to do? Esme turned up alive and pregnant with my child. I had every reason to believe that she was the hook. I couldn’t allow her to harm anyone else. I couldn’t turn her over to the police and risk her giving birth to my unborn child while incarcerated. So you lured her to wyndemere.No, esme was already here. She was stealing money from my safe. I took her to a tower bedroom. I locked her in. I enlisted demetrius to take care of her, and that was my mistake. Esme was able to manipulate demetrius. Esme manipulated you, nikolas! She fooled you into keeping her somewhere she could easily escape from, which she did — very successfully, I might add. She is cunning, creative, and she keeps a cool head. Qualities, my dear nephew, that I’m afraid you sadly lack. Wait a second! I have been protecting you for the sake of this family. Perhaps the cassadines would be better off if they cut their losses.

[ Doorbell rings ] Shouldn’t you answer that?

[ Sighs ]

[ Doorbell rings ] Mr. Cassadine, we’d like to ask you a few more questions about esme prince.

Long after willow learnedthe truth about harmony, she made the decision not to search for her birth parents. And I have to say, I was relieved. Why? I’m confused. You and I both grew up without our biological family, and — and we both went searching for answers. I mean, unlike me, you found your mother right away. I waited years to connect with the quartermaines. Okay. What’s the point? The point is, is that you and bobbie have a strong, loving relationship. Why wouldn’t you want that for willow? Because willow was afraid that her birth mother would turn out to be someone like nina. And the truth is, not all reunions turn out to be happy. Okay? Some of them are awful. They are. And willow has had so much loss and pain, I just wanted to spare her any more. That wasn’t your call to make! Well, the case notes said that she was originally diagnosed with leukemia in late august, but she didn’t start her first round of chemotherapy until late november. Why the delay? Well, when she was first diagnosed, her leukemia was in stage two. Mm-hmm. By the time she received treatment… it was stage four. Well, t-the doctors must have warned her. I mean, you don’t get diagnosed with leukemia and then wait three months to get treatment. You do if you’re pregnant. Once again, “goodnight moon” does the trick. Bedtime’s best friend.

[ Chuckles ] Hey. What happened? What happened? Chemo isn’t working. And my marrow donor can’t donate. What happened is I can barely be a mother to wiley. I can’t join in the conversation or ask about his day or even eat a damn cookie. Hey, look, willow. Willow. Willow? Wiley’s going to be okay. He’s not okay. He knows something is wrong. He’s scared. And it’s all my fault. This whole thing… is my fault. You were willing to stay and talk to the police. I was the one who asked britt to cover. I didn’t want to explain the gun. So our leaving is on me.

[ Scoffs ] You didn’t drag me. I left with you willingly. And, yeah, britt told us that she had it covered. And there was no reason not to believe her. But… I still feel like I’m alive at her expense. Maybe there’s another way to look at this. Britt saved your life. So don’t you owe it to her to live the best life you can? Nikolas: You know, I already sat through one pointless investigation at the pcpd, so if you want to ask more questions, you can call my lawyer. Nonsense! Please, do come in. Now, how can we be of help? Well, uh, esme prince showed up on the haunted star in the early morning hours of january 1st. She was soaking wet and suffering from hypothermia. Which, nikolas, you’re aware of because you showed up at the hospital with elizabeth. Oh, is it — is it a crime to show concern?

[ Chuckles ] So, the last time she was seen — esme — before that was back in november on pier 55, near the haunted star, which is coincidentally near where the boat from wyndemere docks, yeah? And seeing as she used to live at wyndemere, we’re thinking maybe she was either hiding out somewhere on spoon island or… maybe right here in this house.

That baby is innocent. Britt is gone. There’s nothing you can do to bring her back. But you can do something to make sure that esme’s baby is born safely. What? Don’t confront esme. Okay? Don’t interrogate her about britt or anything else, spencer. What if esme is lying about the…memory loss? Okay, but she is not lying about the pregnancy. And the priority right now should be the health and safety of that baby. And that means allowing esme to rest and recover.

[ Door opens ] Spencer: Is she awake? Awake and alert. I’d like to see her. You can tell commissioner ashford that I’ve okayed this visit. Thank you.

[ Knocking ] Esme: Yes?

[ Monitor beeping ] Do I know you? I think I would know if esme were living in my house. It’s a big house. There must be plenty of rooms that go unused. Esme could have taken refuge in any one of them, and you’d never know. Which is why we’d like to search the premises. Absolutely not. Dante: Come on. Nikolas, we search the house, we find out esme was never here, and we can move on with our investigation, yeah? Well, if you want to search my home, get a warrant. And for that, you’re gonna need to show probable cause, which there isn’t any. Jordan: D.A. Scorpio found plenty of evidence and was able to get judge winters to sign off on a warrant, but I thought I’d spare us all the time and trouble by giving you the option to voluntarily agree to the search. What evidence did the district attorney find? We do appreciate the courtesy, commissioner ashford, but as my nephew made clear, we have nothing to hide, so please feel free to search the house. That would take hours. Then best get started. Why don’t you accompany the detective and his officers, nikolas, so they don’t get lost? The way I give thanks for my life is I live it. Maybe you could try it. Yeah, maybe I could. Well, apparently the danger chemo poses to the fetus is higher during the first trimester because the organs are still, um, developing. It’s safer for the baby to c-chemotherapy in the second or third trimester. It’s safe for the baby, but not for willow. Is that what you’re saying? I have no idea how she is getting through this. To find out that she is pregnant and then to be diagnosed with a life-threatening illness? To have to choose between your own health… and the health of your unborn baby? What’s wrong? It’s not fair to lean on you. Willow, hey. You agreed to marry me. That’s what married people do. They lean on each other. Why aren’t you angry with me? What? When I got diagnosed, I didn’t share it with you. I didn’t include you in my decision-making. I didn’t give you a vote. I-I gambled with my life, with wiley’s security and future, with everything you and I planned together. And now… it looks like I’ve lost. You fight like hell when someone tries to make choices for you, so I-I’m confused. What gives you the right to decide what willow could and couldn’t know about her own family? Because for so long willow didn’t want to know! Yeah, but she reconsidered! She decided that she wants to track down her family. And not only that, she asked me — me — to search for them. I get that, but willow is having a really hard pregnancy, and the last thing she needs is stress. And I thought it was best not to open the door to total strangers with whom she shares biology and nothing else! You denied willow her own family! She has a family! She has michael and wiley, and she has you and me and a whole houseful of quartermaines! Enough! Carly, enough excuses! Enough, okay?! Willow’s biological family can give her things that none of us can!

of my many, manyclashes with michael and willow, I went to track them down, and they were at… the hospital. And I found them in dr. Terry randolph’s office. The chief of staff at general hospital. And an oncologist, sonny. I didn’t think much about it then, but, hey… dr. Terry randolph was treating willow. Hey. Listen. Willow and michael probably wanted to keep it quiet because the family didn’t say anything to me. Yeah. They probably do. And they don’t want to upset wile– you know, willow, by delaying treatment, she’s risking leaving wiley without a mother, the only mother that he has ever known. This must be so difficult for her. You know, I wonder how much influence michael has on her decision to delay this cancer treatment. We know michael. He’s very selfish. Yeah. He’s — he’s very focused. He’s single-minded in getting what he wants. Nina, this family infighting has to stop. We have to pull together for willow. Look, drew. I get it. Willow’s pregnant, and she wants her medical history to be complete as possible for her child’s sake. I understand that, but I felt… that the emotional consideration outweighed that, so, yes… I obstructed your efforts. Pretty considerably. Wha– describe “considerably.” Okay. When you tracked down denise makenzie, the firefighter who was on the colorado commune with harmony? I intercepted her before her meeting with you, and I paid her to back harmony’s original story about getting willow from some mythical “joan.” Then when denise recanted her story, I paid her off for not giving me up. When you went out after denise to “give her her glove back.” And then… most recently… I found the information on the commune leader, josiah, and I took it and I hid it so you couldn’t follow up on him. So the whole time that we were supposed to be working together, you were actually sabotaging me. I understand that you’re disappointed and frustrated. I am, too. Willow, we found one bone-marrow match, right? We can find another. There’s still time. There’s a lot less time than there was when I was first diagnosed, when I made the choice not to tell you, not to include you in my decision to wait. Which is the exact opposite of how you’ve always treated me. You didn’t have to include me in wiley’s life, much less let me adopt him. But you trusted me with your son. You made wiley our son. And now I may be leaving you both. At the very moment when I should have shared with you, I shut you out. Why don’t you hate me for that? How does esme seem to you? If this is your way of asking if she’s faking the memory loss, the answer is, I don’t know.

[ Sighs ] You know, kevin had started to assess her, and then my brother came and threw him out of the room. And he would never violate patient privacy, so he hasn’t said anything, but I have the feeling… that he believes her, you know? And he got to see her in all of her manipulative glory when she was living with us, so I think that he’d know if she was lying. Maybe we’ll get lucky and she’ll never remember. Why would that be a good thing? I’m spencer cassadine. My friend trina robinson and i are the ones who brought you to the hospital. Oh, um, thank you for that. How are you feeling? I, um, see-saw between numb and total panic. They say I could be charged with everything from revenge porn to… attempted murder, which is really scary. I don’t suppose you know where I’ve been hiding out the past few months. Apparently, that’s the only thing that could exonerate me. How much contact did you have with esme prince? Oh, minimal, really. I was staying at the metro court until recently. Esme and I never lived at wyndemere at the same time. And your paths never crossed? Well, occasionally. While esme was dating spencer. But our interactions were, oh, superficial at best. And what about nikolas? How would you characterize your nephew’s interactions with esme prince? What’s in here? It’s a bedroom. Anyone using it? I can’t say with certainty. It’s possible that one of the staff is staying there. The staff? You have the staff staying in the house with you? I thought they’d be out on the grounds. As the commissioner pointed out, it is a big house. If, for whatever reason, one of the staff members needed to stay the night, I don’t see the harm. I’d like to check this room out. Well, it’s locked. I’d probably have to grab — it’s just —

I am so sorry for misleading you. For lying to me. I made the choice to protect willow long before we got together. There’s no contract, carly. There’s no “pre-existing condition” clause here. This is about us trusting each other. I let you in on an investigation, and you took advantage of my trust to undermine it. I was protecting willow! Do you understand?! You knew damn well that willow was the one who asked me to do the search. And… I get that willow was initially resistant to finding, to tracking down her birth mother, but then once you know that she reconsidered, didn’t that change your calculations? Yes. I was conflicted. I was conflicted. But then I decided that willow was better off not knowing. God, carly, if you knew the complete information about her health situation, you would’ve acted differently! Why? What are you talking about? What information? Is there something wrong with willow? She’s got leukemia. I could never hate you, willow. Never. And, yes, while I wish you would have shared your diagnosis with me from the start, I understand why you didn’T. I’ll never forget the pain of losing jonah. And I know… I know you won’t, either. You chose to protect the life you were carrying the way that seemed best to you, okay? And I’m — I’m good with that. I was selfish. You are the least selfish person that I know. I did what I wanted, and if I chose wrong, you and wiley will be left alone. That’s not gonna happen. Hey. Willow, we’re not gonna lose you. You can’t promise that. I can promise you this much… I will never regret — regret any — any day that I’ve spent with you. Making you wiley’s mother. I’ll never regret the love that you’ve given him and the place that you have in his life. And even if — even if wiley has to grow up without you — hey, even if wiley has to grow up without you, your love will sustain him. Even if he can’t consciously remember. Because I will remember. I’ll remember all of it. Everything. I will love you for the rest of my life. This wasn’t the plan. I know. Do you regret it? No. Good. ‘Cause if I haven’t made myself clear, I don’t want this to be a one- or two-time thing. Neither do I. I don’t know what I feel for you… but I know that it’s strong. Me too.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Okay. Okay. I’m sorry. But that might be my mom, and she’s gonna freak out if I don’t answer her right away.

[ Scoffs ] Unbelievable. What? Sonny. “Need to see you. My office. Important.” I mean, how dare he summon me like that. He doesn’t have the right to do that. Who does he think he is? Where are you going? Well, I’m gonna go to his office and I’m gonna tell him that I can see whoever I want to see, and it’s none of his damn business. Well, if I were esme, I’d want to forget everything, too — all the crimes, all the mistakes. I can almost wish that for my own life. Not really, of course. I would never want to forget my kids or the people I love. But it would be nice to forget all the ways I’ve messed up. Would this have anything to do with, uh, whatever it is that’s going on between you and nikolas? Sorry. I don’t have an alibi for you.

[ Monitor beeping ] I suppose you never laid eyes on me before you and your friend brought me to the hospital. That’s not true.

[ Inhales sharply ] I know you. Better than anyone else in port charles.

[ Stammers ] You know me? How? From where? D-do you know why I’m in port charles? Do you really think I did all this crazy stuff?

You’ve finished the search already? Lang and mendez are still searching, but nikolas was kind enough to show me the north wing. And? No, please — don’t keep us in suspense. You know what? We checked out that room at the top there. No sign of esme. I said this was a waste of time. Due diligence is never a waste of time. If our officers find anything of interest, detective falconeri and i may need to return and search further. We’ll be sure to bring a warrant. I’ll show you out. Jordan: Thank you for your time. Well? That top tower room had been cleaned and painted. Could smell the cleaning agents, could smell the paint. Probably in the last few hours. They’ve definitely been hiding something or someone up there. Why the hell did you agree to the search?! Because there was nothing to find. Oh, I had demetrius do a thorough cleaning job of the room and then put everything in storage. Storage? No, I kept everything. Ample evidence of esme’s imprisonment. Just in case I need to ensure your future cooperation. I don’t really know what’s going on between me and nikolas. He’s my oldest friend. We have a lot of history. He knows me like nobody else does. But I know him, too. I know he can be selfish and reckless and make really, really foolish choices. But I also know him to be generous and loving. And, for the most part, he has good intentions. You have always been loyal to my son and you’ve seen the good in him, and thank you for that. You know, I treasure you. And not just because you’re the mother of my grandchildren. I have known you for most of your life. And I think of you as another daughter. That means a lot to me. And I am very worried right now. I feel like nikolas has backed himself into a corner and that he is in a very dark place. We went to boarding school together, in france. Ecole internationale

de chtel. Doesn’t ring a bell. I have family here in port charles. When I graduated from boarding school, I came back here and I brought you with me. Brought me along as a buddy? We were dating. You were my girlfriend, and we broke up… for many reasons. Uh, how long ago did we break up? Is this your baby? Possibly. Call me. We’ve got a problem. Look. Before you start in, I have a few things to say about the way I choose to live my life and how it’s none of your damn business. Thank you. And don’t let me sleep too late. I want to see wiley get off to school. And maybe we can all have breakfast together in the morning. Yeah. We’ll figure it out. Just, uh — just get some rest, okay? I love you. I love you, too.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Knock on door ] Now is not a good time. I realize that, michael. And I know that you don’t want me here, but I’ll make it quick. I need to talk about my grandson. Willow has leukemia? Stage four. Oh, my god. That’s why she’s so pale and…weak. It’s why she fainted… and why michael’s been hovering and… oh, my god. Why didn’t I see it?! Willow has been going out of her way to keep it a secret, okay? Michael didn’t even know until willow was in her second trimester. I just found out a few weeks ago. How? How? How did you find out? Well, at first, willow was saying that the whole search was for medical history, but I knew there was more to it, and she admitted that… she needs a bone-marrow transplant. And the best chance for a match is from a family member. That’s why I stepped up the search. You don’t need to search. Nina is willow’s birth mother.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, breakfast in bed again, . It’s uh, Harold’s morning off. Oh, even so that’s lovely of you. Uh oh. There’s no paper there. Harold always brings me a paper with breakfast. I know. Okay, well, I’ll let it slide. Just this once.

Let’s find on with you this morning, Nicole. I have some sad news and I wanted to break it to you myself,

Callie. I’m, uh, I am so sorry about Kate. Yeah, yeah, of course. Um, I will, uh, I’ll meet you at the hospital as soon as visiting hours start.

I love you too.

Uh, uncle Stephan, you’re. You’re finally back. Yeah. Sheer pan and moaning at the airport. I’m telling you, every single flight delayed or canceled, it’s a miracle. I even made it back from Miami, although I probably wouldn’t have minded another couple extra days in paradise with Chloe. So you uh, you had a good time.

Yeah. We rang in the new year on the dance floor at the hottest club in South Beach. No, uh, I don’t un unforeseen. Interruptions or Ah, you know about Gabby? Yeah. Yeah, I know about Gabby. I drove over to the airport. So she found you on New Year’s Eve? Yeah, she found me. It was a little bit after midnight, but yeah, she found me, told me everything.

Hey, welcome back. How’d it go? Did you.

Oh no, that doesn’t look good. Are you okay? I’m sorry,

Gabby. I,

Hey. I know, I know. It’s

Abby if you only knew. Damn it.

Hello, Lee Chloe. Hello. You’re. Did, uh, did um, Gabby just stop right there. I’m not really interested in answering your questions. Be damn well. Better answer mine.

Ugh. Rachel’s lunch. I knew we forgot something.

I hope. Eric,

I just came from seeing my phone. How is he doing? How is he doing? His wife just died and soon did his sister, my mother, she could be next.

Or maybe you beat her to it,

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

Then when I finally arrived in Miami, Stephen, who was in bed with Chloe, it was awful. Ra It was just, they just, Ugh. But, but you told him, right? You told him what Ralph did, that he planted those negative feelings about you that made him fall in love with Chloe? Yeah, I told him, I told him everything, but he says that, that, that, that doesn’t matter at all.

That he doesn’t care at all.

When you say Gabby told you everything, I mean that she told me everything. The whole alleged conspiracy theory, the brainwashing Lee pulling the plug, Rolfe and Lee playing God with me on the slab. All of it. Okay. I’m, I’m, I’m sorry, but you seem pretty blase about all this. You’re not upset. Did Rolf turned you against a woman that you love?

I mean, she married somebody else because you pushed her away. How am I supposed to believe any of that? Huh? What do you mean? Gabby tracked Ro down a couple of weeks ago before he left Salem. He swore up and down according. He swore up and down that he did nothing to manipulate my feelings for her and she believed him.

Now, all of a sudden, what? She changes her story and says the opposite. How am I supposed to know what story to believe?

I know. You know what? I know that Ralph brainwashed you. How do you know that? Because I heard it straight from the source. Himself,

Kate and Kayla, are they gone?

They um, They had a relapse of that rare disease they had months ago.

A relapse. May I, I, I don’t get it. I, I thought they, I mean that, that anonymous vial, right. They all, they all took it. I know. We all thought they were cur. They’ve been perfectly healthy all this time, but now,

oh my God.

What about Marlina? I mean, she had a too. Yes,

apparently she’s been similarly afflicted. She’s very ill, but. She’s still holding off. Hello?

Oh my God.

Poor Eric.

So you want revenge. Is that it Eric? You’re not a murderer. You are a priest. For God’s sake, Bible says hi for. Isn’t that a metaphor for, uh, shop hell up? Not a king. And I’m not a coward, apparently. You think I am kidnapped your daughter, didn’t I? Oh, yes, yes you did. I mean, it’s more of a glorified play date.

I mean, what you watched minions pop some popcorn put on makeup? I know you wouldn’t hurt Rachel. Just like, you’re not gonna hurt me. Hurt you is what you.

I didn’t think so. You hand over that a woo kid. We’re both about to find out what I’m capable of.

Well, he threw me out. He told me that he wanted to stay with Chloe and he threw me out. He didn’t even believe. I’m so sorry, Gabby. What we need to do is find Rolf. Okay. Maybe that sick bastard can undo what he did. If he still can, if Stephan will let him. Believe me, I am doing everything that I possibly can to try and find Rolf.

We need to get him to corroborate your story to, to pack it up. That that Lee and Kristen masterminding this whole mess. Yeah. Right. But I did have to release them from custody. What? I just don’t have the evidence to hold them, but believe me, I am going to get it. They are not gonna get away with what they did to you and Stephan.

Well, I’m not sure what you’ve heard, but I know everything, Lee. I was with Stephan when Gabby crashed our New Year’s in Miami. She told us everything. How you ordered Ralph to brainwash Stephan to keep him away from Gabby. He only did that because you knew you couldn’t compete. You played Godly with Stephan’s life.

With Gabby’s life, the woman that you claim to love. I do love Gabby very much who you have won hell of a wave showing. She hates you now, and not only did you tinker with s Stephan’s mind and manipulate Gabby, you got me involved in this nightmare. Why did you drag me into this? Lee

Ralph told you about this when, when overheard her brother having a conversation about Ralph and you, she got worried. You know, he might have gotten in over his head somehow. So she and I, we, uh, we, uh,

Jakarta, we took the company jet to Indonesia to find Rolf. It wasn’t some joy right? To impress Wendy. Okay. We, we were on a mission and you found him there, and Wendy tricked him into. Everything okay. Brainwashing you. All this stuff with Gabby and Roth got the upper hand on us and tried to inject us with some drug that would make us forget everything, just like he did to Gabby when she confronted him.

Right before he fled Salem. So Gabby was really drugged.

That’s why she was convinced he was innocent. Yeah. Oh my God. And when the drug wore off, she blew up her whole wedding. Expose the truth, God, on a plane to Miami to find you, to tell you everything.

Okay, well this is all very uh, Enlightening, but there’s just one piece missing for me. You said that you went to Jakarta weeks ago. Why am I just now hearing about this

Eric’s aunt and his stepmother and now possibly his mother? I mean, just like that. Oh my God, it’s an unspeakable tragedy.

Eric’s already in a bad place and after everything he’s been through, I mean, being kicked out of the priesthood and, and then there’s Jada thinking he was gonna be a father and having that taken away from him and. Whatever the hell he’s doing with Sloan, hateful woman.

And then of course there’s me. You didn’t do anything. Nicole. Look at me. He turned his back on you for no goodies.

Whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. I just, I wanna be there for him and I am sure I am. The last person he wants to see.

I’m afraid. Might be right about that,

Eric. If I knew where that orchid was, I would tell you, I swear. But how am I supposed to convince you that I’m telling the truth when you’ve got a gun pointed at me? Why would I believe anything you say? You have been a liar, not to mention a murder rapist. You now I’m not. Well, you love it. My mother died.

That is not true. Eric, shut up. I know you’re, you convinced Brady, you found ready to give up that orchid when poof, magically disappeared when we needed the most. No. I swear to you, I watched, I said shut the hell up.

It’s too convenient for all this to be a coincidence.

You’ve planned all this, but now your game is super

cause I got the gun.

You’re gonna to where that or is?

What the hell are you doing?

I’m so sorry, Nicole. Thank you. Yeah, but I, I, uh, I played my part in this. And you say, Eric pushed me away for no good reason and. Disagree because you’re too hard on yourself. It’s kind of you to say, but I think it’s the opposite. I think I am not hard enough on myself. Don’t say that, Nicole. You are a good person.

Hmm. And speaking for myself, having you stay here with me, to put it quite simply, it’s been very good to have you around your great company.

Well, I’m glad someone thinks so.

Um, before I forget,

think this belongs to you. I, uh, you know, I must have come off when I am. I ripped your shirt off the other.

Listen, I, I know it seems crazy that I am not ready to move on from Eric, especially when he hates my guts.

Look, you know what feels right. I will impress you.

Did I not pour to your liking?

No. No. It’s just this, this stupid. New Year’s resolution of mine. It just seems trivial now. No, I’m trying to, to quit caffeine and I’ve already failed.

I’ll be sure to add decaf after the shopping. Thanks. You know, but after the year, I’ve had, uh, no offense. But I’m thinking I’m gonna give up men instead.

What a fool. I was a trust shin. Right now I’m actually married to the creep way. We can be divorced buddies. I just got my papers from Nicole. Oh, we, I’m sorry. No, no. Hey, that’s for the best. . Oh my God. I gotta get to work. You gonna be okay? Oh yeah. Huh? Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, of course. Hey, my unsolicited advice, don’t give up on Steph, me.

Mm-hmm. give up. Come on. You know me better than that, I will never ever give up on the man I love. Dang. See. That’s what I like to hear. Okay.

See, you and Wendy flew halfway around the.

She risked her job and you risked, well, nothing really except maybe a stern talking to from your father, and you come back after having learned the truth. And you lie to my face.

I don’t get it.

If you tell him, not only could I lose Dira Enterprises, but I could also go back to prison for my complicity, please. I just lost my mother. Please don’t take anything else away from me, Johnny.

What are you not telling me?

Stephan, you’re back.

What’s going on here?

When Stephan woke up or came back to life, however you wanna put it, he not only hated Gabby, but he was fixated on. , why made no sense. We’d broken up way before he supposedly died, and I was with Brady then. So why, maybe you should ask yourself, who would stand to benefit from driving a wedge between you and Brady?

Are you saying that Kristen had a hand of this? Well, I’m not saying. But you happen to draw your own conclusions. No, no, no, no, no. You son of a bitch. You cannot screw around with people’s lives and then not own up to it. When you get caught, take some sort of responsibility. But no, you can’t do that can you?

Cuz you’re a disgusting excuse for a human being. Have you forgotten something? Uh, what to tell you to go to? No, but you work for me. Hmm. Not anymore. I quit.

Eric, she doesn’t know where the orchid is. Gimme, gimme the gun, man. Why are you doing this? Why you do everything she says or believe anything she says. Eric, Eric. Eric. She swore on our daughter’s life, okay? She has no reason to lie. She has every reason to manipulate you. Eric. Your mother needs you, brother.

We are running outta time. Gimme the. Please,

I’m playing your game.

If anything happens to a mother, she dies.

Thank you. I didn’t do it for you. I did it for my brother. Now that he’s gone, will you kindly go pack with bags and get out of this house?

Hey, I heard s Stephen was home, so I figured you were back too. Hey, I’m so happy to see you. Same here. I’m assuming you heard about that disaster in Miami? No, no. Actually, I, I, I didn’t even talk to s Stephan, but Chloe, listen, I’m, I’m so sorry. I really am. I mean, after what happened at Gabby’s wedding, I just felt that she should know where Stefan was.

No, it’s, it’s okay. Really? Honestly, I wish someone would’ve told her sooner. What do you mean? I mean, s Stephan and I rang in the new year by sleeping together. Okay. Yeah, I mean, I almost didn’t go through with it. When we got to Miami. I couldn’t stop thinking about Brady and I didn’t think I was ready.

But then I just thought, I deserve to be happy and I deserve to feel good. Yes, of course you do. So I went through with it and it really was wonderful. But then we were lying there together in each other’s arms, and Gabby comes bursting into our hotel room and she tells us everything that. Wolf had brainwashed Stephan into hating Gabby and fixating on me.

Oh, Chloe, I, I just feel so stupid. I mean, the only reason Stephan wanted me was because Wolf had engineered those feelings. No, I am sure. That is not the only reason. I don’t know. Nicole Stephan says he still hates Gabby and that his feelings for me are real no matter what Ralph did or didn’t do. But can I really believe.

You were just talking about what Ralph did. It’s Uncle Stephan. Yes. Johnny just informed me that he’s known all about this and he was just about to attempt to explain himself. Right. Um, well really, I, I kept quiet because of someone I care. Who?

Wendy. Wendy, um, yeah. She and I, she and I had gotten really close and her brother begged her not to expose him. She agreed. So I felt that I had to keep my mouth shut too for her. And that’s the whole story, huh? That’s the whole story.

Go away.

I said go away. I have nothing to say to you. Please, you, you don’t have to say anything. Just, just hear. Why should I, and all you’ve done is lie to me. You knew Stefan wasn’t alive and you didn’t tell me anything. Ke there was nothing to be done. He had no heart and all I had was a vague promise from a mad scientist who said, said there was a possibility he might wake up someday.

My interest in Stefan had nothing to do with you. It was about what resurrecting him might do for dam. Oh, okay. Who’s business over pleasure. Is that it, Gabby? No. Don’t Gabby me because you chose business over me, Lee over me. The the woman that you supposedly loved. If you just let me put this all in context, Gabby, in, in context, in in what context could, you’re lying to me.

You’re manipulating my feelings. Ever make it forgivable? Okay, let’s get things straight. Second was on a slab heartless, and that was on a need to know basis because of business reasons. And then he gets a heart, Jake’s heart. So what was the business reason for you trying to pull the plug? Could you please put that in context for me?

But Dave, you know what? Don’t worry because Rolf. Explained everything. The, the, the brainwashing, the plug pulling, the whole thing. And then he drug me, which I’m sure you knew about, didn’t you, Gabby? I was desperate. I was deeply in love with you. I, I didn’t wanna lose you. Okay. Well now because you, you’re a lying bastard with zero integrity.

You have lost me forever.

We need access to Dara’s records. Proof they financed Ralph’s experiments and his relocation in Indonesia. Okay, well, we’ll figure out as soon as we get the warrant. All right, just call me as soon as you get it. Thanks. Uh, the mirror, the mirror’s enough about liars cover up the truth and they don’t tell you what you need to know until people you love are gonna die.

You know, I’m really sorry for what you’re going through, and I wish to hell that there was something I could do. There is, I’m gonna arrest Kristen right now.

You want me to go? Don’t, don’t, don’t act surprise. You know, the only reason you were living here was because you were holding that orchid over my head. Now two women are dead and a third may not make it, and you lost the only thing that could save her life. So, yeah, I want you Al What about Rachel? How is she gonna feel when she comes home from school and I’m not here?

Kristen. Rachel, we’ll be fine cuz she’s, And she will eventually understand why you cannot be a part of her life. You know, who’s not okay? Is Marlena. Marlena, my dad’s wife, she’s in the I C U dying, fighting for her life. And I don’t want my dad coming through that door seeing your face as a widower. So get, get out of here.

Now. I have nowhere else to go. How in the hell is that my problem?

Look, I know what I did was wrong. Are you really that arrogant, that diluted, that you think you’re just gonna say, whoops, I, I made a mistake, and then all is forgiven, Gabby, you know damn well what it’s like to cross the line when it comes to love. You and I are the same. We’re not afraid to take drastic measures when something’s truly worth the.

And you were worth it. Stefan’s not like us. He gave up on you. And that’s something that I will never do. He didn’t give up, Lee. He was, he was brainwashed by you. He didn’t have a choice. If he loved you enough, no amount of brainwashing could have stopped him. Face it, Gabby. Stephan never loved you the way I do, and he never will.

You have every right to to be mad at me, to judge me harshly, but deep down, you know why I did it? Because you would’ve done it too, proving that we are the same. We belong together and you.

Oh, you

obviously, we all thought it was strange when Stephan started showing up at my door with flowers and wooing me , especially when we all thought he was. Well and how much in love he was with Gabby, and I wasn’t interested in him. I only had eyes for Brady, but then Brady walked out on me and he went back to Kristen, and then there was Stephan.

There was Stephan literally knocking on my door, treating me like I was the best thing that had ever happened to him,

and lying there next to him in Miami for the first time in a long time, I stopped hurting and I was happy. Even just that moment. And then Gabby comes crashing in and she ruins that too. Chloe, I am so sorry. This is is such a mess. But even though that I’m here for you, I know. Thanks for listening. Always enough about me.

How was your New Year’s? Oh, ah.

Con Stephan, I’m sorry.

One would hope that family loyalty would trump your burgeoning relationship with Wendy, but hey, what’s done is done Right kid.

Now, no. Excuse me.

Thank you, Johnny. It’s one thing for Stefan to believe you are involved in the coverup, but I’m his brother. And he’s boss, well kept the secret this long. No reason to let it out now.

He didn’t really seem to care. It’s like, bro, you know, I don’t know. Maybe a that’ll change with time. The, uh, shock of knowing the truth will wear off. Uh, you know what, that’s Allie. I gotta take this AFI about Grandma Marlina. Allie. Hey, well, what, what’s happening? I, I was just about to.

What

Kristen claims she doesn’t know who could have stolen New York. If she’s playing dumb, she knows more than she’s letting on. I’m sure it so go and haul her ass in there and get it out of her. Eric, I don’t have any basis. I know you blame me for what happened between me and Nicole. Eric, I’m sorry. I really.

But don’t let my mother suffer because you’re angry with me.

I’m so sorry about Kayla, and, and please, please, please don’t tell Tate about Marlene yet. Thank you, Teresa. I’ll talk to you soon.

You don’t need to do this. Rachel’s gonna need her mother more than ever. Right? Because, uh, she might lose her grandmother cuz of.

You have nothing to say. You know what? I don’t. I don’t know why I let you get away with this for as long as you did. I was really worried that if I confided in someone that you would let them die, and here we are happened anyway.

Maybe if I put the screws in you a little harder. In the beginning we would’ve had the orchid and Kate and Caleb might still be here. I don’t want you to blame yourself for this. I don’t. Kristin, I blame you. I’ve made that abundantly clear.

Tell Rachel I. Love her.

Are you, are you kidding me? You think I’m supposed to say no harm, no foul and bygones and all that? You’ve tried to kill the man that I loved Lee, and then, and then you married me. Knowing what you’ve done. And you just want me to ride off to the sunset with you? No, th that’s not exactly what I’m Okay, stop.

Because you’re, apparently, you’re not getting the hint, so I’m gonna be blunt. Get the hell out. I’ll kick you out Gabby.

Allie just finished talking to Brady. Apparently Kristin’s been hiding an orchid here in the mansion. What? Yeah. Yeah. Down in the secret passages for months. And now that it’s needed to make a serum for grandma, it’s missing. Of course. Kristin, what the hell have you done? Yeah, she, uh, she swears she doesn’t know where it is.

The clock is ticking, right? Grandma’s getting worse by the minute. Nobody knows how much longer she has. We need that serum like now , there’s gotta be a way we can make more of it, right? Maybe Dr. Wolf would know.

Yeah, I need to go see break right now.

Eric, I underst. That you are worried about your mother and not just worried. You are desperate to save her, and I feel terrible for what you are going through. But please, no more plan. Amateur detective, next time you come to me, excuse me, for trying to get medical help from my critically new mother. I will follow up on every lead, but right now you are wasting my.

So if you really want me to help your mother, the best thing that you can do right now is leave.

I spent New Year’s with ej. Nothing happened. Not really. Anyway, so Eric, he’s sleeping with Sloan Peterson. . What? Yeah, I know. It’s, it’s insane. And we’re fairly speaking to each other. I just wish I could reach out to him with everything that’s going on with his family. What do you mean? Oh, th that’s right.

You just got back. You haven’t heard about Kate and Kayla and Marlena. Wait, what’s going on? What’s happening with them? Oh, uh, hold that thought,

Brady. Hey, uh, what are you doing here?

Oh, hey man. I heard about . I’m so sorry if there’s anything that I can do. Yeah, I, I, uh, I, I just found out from my sister that she’s in desperate need of this medication that comes from a rare orchid. It’s gone missing, but it’s possible. Dr. Roth could make more, we’re actually looking for him regarding another case, but, It’s tough going.

I know that’s why I came. Your search is over. I know where he is.

Can I talk to you alone? Alone? If, if, Yes, Freddie. Actually, I was, I was just leaving. Oh, Chloe, listen. Call me anytime. Okay? I mean it.

So, Brady, what do you want? I, uh, wanted to tell you the reason why I broke up with you. It had nothing to do with Rachel. Kristen had forced me to do it.

Christ, what the hell are you doing here? What the hell does it look like? I’m coming home.

Due to increases in the overseas third quarter market contraction, the commodities markets took a tumble finishing up only 10 points above last year’s market record low with treasury bills becoming more in demand due to European volatility, the Treasury Department has suspended trading on 10 year T-bills until opening up trading.

So that interest rates. Serena

Serena’s seven 20 and you’re not here, can you please call me and let me know that you’re on your way? I’ve left checks for the girls’ new school uniforms on the table and the new backpacks from the front hall closet. Alright, thank you Harry. Caitlin. Girls have a wake up. Come on, wake up. Um, it’s summer.

Ah, I know, but Serena’s late and I have an early work meeting, so I’m gonna have to drop you off at Daddy’s, but it’s not Daddy’s weekend. Yes, I know, but I have a breakfast meeting.

[ Upbeat music ]

Taylor: Hey, thanks for treating me to lunch.

Brooke: Of course. My pleasure.

[ Brooke sighing ] Steffy and finn meeting with the judge has me a little bit anxious.

Taylor: Yeah, me too. But the good thing is sheila’s been caught. She is going down. There is no way she’s going to walk free again.

Brooke: Maybe it’ll be good for steffy and finn. They’ll have some sort of closure. They’ll be able to go on record and talk about the pain and suffering that sheila inflicted on them.

Taylor: Yeah. I hope it’s cathartic for both of them. I really do. Once the judge has their testimony, it’s the end of the road for poor, misunderstood sheila carter.

[ Taylor chuckling ]

Mcmullen: I’ve called you all here today to reaffirm the charges that have been brought forth against ms. Carter. This is a– a highly unusual case and I just want to make sure everything is in order.

So, dr. Finnegan,

what say you?

Are you prepared to provide

testimony and move forward

with the case?

Taylor: Mm. Mm-hm.

Brooke: Mm-hm?

Taylor: Mm-hm. Who would’ve ever thought taylor hayes and brooke logan spending an afternoon together?

Brooke: Not because we have to, but because we want to.

Taylor: That’s right.

Brooke: You know, all that anger we had directed at each other, now we can put that somewhere else. Into sheila.

Taylor: Yes! Into sheila because she’s the actual villain, right? We were just– we were just caught in a toxic cycle and lots of family drama.

Brooke: Mm-hm. The attack was coming from the outside. Sheila carter was the threat to our safety and our happiness.

Taylor: Yeah, and you know what? Now, we can finally celebrate because we will never be victims of sheila carter ever again.

Mcmullen: You may proceed, dr. Finnegan.

Bill: The terms of my

deal remain the same:

Sheila’s freedom for

taylor’s freedom.

Mcmullen: We’re waiting, dr. Finnegan. Is there a problem?

Finn: Uh, your honor, I… have nothing to say.

Bill: Atta boy. Why give your family just any eggs

Brooke: We are a family of survivors.

Taylor: Yes, we are.

Brooke: We are.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: We’ve survived a lot. We’ve survived sheila, we’ve survived years of going back and forth with ridge.

Taylor: How are you really doing with all of that? You know, I mean, I know that you’re used to having someone in your life.

Brooke: Hm. Yeah, that is true. I look back at certain phases and I think, “why was I so needy?”

Taylor: Hm.

Brooke: I’ve come to realize I’m happier putting myself first and whatever that may look like from here on out.

Taylor: We really are redefining ourselves.

Brooke: We are. Redefining, evolving, maturing.

[ Taylor chuckling ]

Taylor: Yeah, we’re– we’re really evolving. It feels so good, you know? Kind of going through a growth spurt.

Brooke: Mm-hm. So, you’re really not thinking about ridge, waiting for him to come back?

Taylor: Oh, um, he left me at the altar for the last time. Oh, gosh, you know. I get that he had to go away and process, but man, you know, it left a mark, it really did. It’s what? A couple weeks later and it still stings.

Brooke: I’m sure it was painful.

Taylor: It was a painful situation all around.

Brooke: It was hard on ridge too.

Taylor: I’m just glad that he’s doing some soul searching.

Brooke: Yeah, it’s about time.

Taylor: Yes, it’s about time.

[ Both laughing ]

Brooke: I think that we’re all taking a step back and reevaluating our lives.

Taylor: Yeah. So, what is next on the horizon for you, brooke logan?

Brooke: Oh, uh…

Taylor: Like, you know, dating?

Brooke: Dating? No, no.

Taylor: Bill spencer maybe. I don’t know. He’s– he’s always had such a thing for you and you guys were good together, you know. I mean, he– he seems like he’s like this lone wolf kind of guy, but he always likes to have a woman in his life.

Brooke: Oh, well, it certainly isn’t me and it certainly isn’t katie. And if there is a woman in bill’s life, I certainly don’t know who it is.

Mcmullen: You have nothing to say?

Finn: No.

Mcmullen: Am I to understand that you are no longer willing to testify?

Finn: That’s correct.

Mcmullen: Are– are you no longer seeking to press charges against the defendant? You changed your mind?

Finn: Yes.

Mcmullen: Well, all right then. It’s time for ms. Forrester–

Sheila: If I could have a moment, please, to say a few words, your honor.

Attorney: As your attorney, I strongly advise–

Sheila: I would only take a few minutes, please.

Mcmullen: Counsel?

Attorney: My client would

like to address you directly.

Mcmullen: All right. I’ll allow it. Go ahead, ms. Carter.

Sheila: Thank you. Judge mcmullen, we all know why we’re here today. It’s because of me. My actions, my mistakes and I– I never meant to hurt you, finn or steffy. I love you more than anything, finn, and I am so proud of the man that you have become and the father that you are to my beautiful grandson, hayes. Finn, I… I know how much you adore steffy, and steffy, I– I see the joy and the– the love that you have brought to my son’s life and I am forever indebted to you for that. And the beautiful grandson that you gave me. I am your mother-in-law. I am and always will be family. I know how close you are and how loyal you are to your mother, and I know what a great role model taylor has been for you all these years. She’s an incredible woman a woman with an immaculate reputation. When I first came to los angeles, she’s the one person that gave me a chance. She– she gave me the opportunity to show you that I deserved a place in this family, and I will never forget that. All I want is for you and finn and your family to be happy. I just want the best for you. That’s it, I’m– thank you for allowing me to say a few words today, your honor.

Mcmullen: Ms. Forrester, are you ready? #1 isn’t a status earned overnight.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: Oh, wow.

Taylor: Hold on, can you get this?

Brooke: Oh, nice.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh. A forrester original.

Brooke: Thank you for being my fit model.

Taylor: No, you’re welcome. This is beautiful.

Brooke: Woo, woo!

Taylor: Wheesh. Yes?

[ Both laughing ]

Brooke: You look flawless, taylor.

Taylor: Thank you.

Brooke: You always do.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh. Thank you. I definitely have my fair share of sweatpants moments too.

Brooke: Oh, I’m sure you look amazing in your sweatpants. It’s– it’s so annoying.

Taylor: Oh, stop. Says the quintessential california woman. Every man’s dream.

Brooke: Well, not every man’S.

Taylor: Mm. Listen, ridge should be lucky to have either of us.

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: I guess we should both be proud of everything we’ve accomplished.

Taylor: Yes. And there’s more to come. I can feel it.

Brooke: Okay, I just need more of that energy.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: Which is hard to drum up sometimes.

Taylor: I know, but you know what? With age comes wisdom. And back aches. Listen, I– I know that we’re doing the right thing by– by just choosing ourselves, but that’s also going to mean time alone.

Brooke: Yeah, okay. Well, speaking of time alone.

Taylor: Mm-hm.

Brooke: How about we have a girls’ night? Just bring over popcorn and whatever else and we’ll just binge watch some shows.

Taylor: That sounds amazing. I am in. Yes.

Brooke: Okay.

Taylor: I’d love that.

Brooke: I know I said this before, but I am happy that you came over today.

Taylor: I am too. You know, it’s nice to have you here with me, on this journey, and especially everything that’s going on with sheila, I think you might be the only one who understands what a liability she’s been.

Brooke: I really wonder what’s going on over there at the courthouse.

Taylor: Oh, I bet it’s a celebration for one side. With steffy and finn’s testimony, this case is a slam dunk.

Brooke: Oh, yes!

Mcmullen: Ms. Forrester.

Bill: Come on.

Steffy: Your honor… you say you’re sorry for hurting us, you claim to love us, that we’re family. That’s something I try to wipe from my mind every single day. You’re not my mother-in-law. You’re not a friend. You have no idea the pain you caused me and my family.

You say you respect and

admire my mother.

Sheila: And I do, steffy.

I want taylor’s happiness

and I know you do too.

Attorney: Your honor, this is highly unorthodox.

Mcmullen: Ms. Forrester, I am waiting.

Steffy: Um… by being here today, I was, um… I was hoping to gain some closure. To finally feel that justice would be served. I’m still hoping that’s the case. Whether sheila is in prison because of finn and me or not. But as long as sheila is alive, she will always haunt us and my memories. But you will play no part in my future. None whatsoever, whether you pay for your crimes or not. No words have the power to erase what you’ve done to us. None. That’s all I have to say.

Mcmullen: That’s it? No testimony, no… nothing in regards to the charges that have been brought forth on ms. Carter? Nothing?

Steffy: No. I have nothing else to say. I am no longer pressing charges.

Finn: You did the right thing.

Steffy: It’s fine. Our charges aren’t the only ones necessary to convict her. We have enough evidence to put her behind bars for many years to come.

[Sfx: Stomach gurgling]

Taylor: Thank you again for a lovely lunch.

Brooke: Oh, of course. I’m already looking forwards to our girls’ night.

Taylor: I am too. And I am free anytime, by the way. My schedule is wide open.

Brooke: I think mine’s pretty clear too.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh. I need to check on a patient.

Brooke: Oh, okay.

Taylor: I’ve been here for a while, and then I’m going to race over to steffy and finn’s to congratulate them on their triumph today! The nightmare of sheila carter is finally over.

Brooke: Oh, yes! I am so happy for you and your family. Oh.

Taylor: Thank you.

Mcmullen: I just want

to be certain that both

ms. Forrester and

dr. Finnegan are choosing

not to testify and further rescinding the charges that were previously brought against ms. Carter. Is that correct?

Finn: Yes, your honor.

Steffy: Yes. But there are other charges against sheila. Major charges. I’m confident she won’t be a free woman for a very long time.

Mcmullen: Actually, there’s been some new evidence that has been brought to my attention recently. Some really compelling evidence. Ms. Carter was previously suspected of escaping custody. However, I have a sworn affidavit from a former corrections officer who was on duty that day, a mr. Mike guthrie.

Mr. Guthrie has stated

that he coerced ms. Carter

and removed her from her

jail cell against her will.

Finn: What?

Steffy: Wait, you’re saying that sheila was kidnapped by mike guthrie?

Mcmullen: That is correct.

Finn: With all due respect, you– how does someone get kidnapped out of prison?

Mcmullen: I had the same question, but there’s indisputable video footage which corroborates mr. Guthrie’s story. So, unfortunately, this is just a failure of our penal system.

Steffy: What– what are you talking about? I don’t understand what that means.

Mcmullen: Since there was no further charges brought forward and both of you refused to testify, along with dropping your own charges, which I will notify the state about, I have no other choice but to release ms. Carter.

Finn: Release?

Steffy: You can’t do that.

Mcmullen: Case dismissed. That’s it for today.

Please remove ms. Carter’s

handcuffs and escort her

from my chambers.

She’s free to go.

Steffy: No, no, no, no. This is– this is wrong.

Finn: Your honor.

Steffy: She– sheila’s dangerous, she faked her own death, she hid from the police. This is wrong! She can’t be free! No, you have to do something, no! You can’t do this.

Sorry, Chad, my man. You aren’t interrupting us this time. Uh, Steph, it’s Chad. You, um, you gotta get to the hospital right away. It’s your mom.

Come on Steph. You don’t have much.

Thank

How you? I just went 10 rounds with a Leo. Oh, you look very beautiful to me.

You know, nothing should surprise us about Kristen, but I can’t believe that she would knowingly put three people’s lives at risk because of her obsession with Brady. Don’t worry about Kristen. Okay. What I need you to do is focus all your energy on beating this thing, getting better. I wish I had your.

If we don’t get a hold of that orchid, Sue,

don’t say it. Look at me

please.

You need to keep the faith we have.

So Breeze searching for the orchid. Yeah. Yeah. In fact, he’s out there right now with a couple of black patch investigators.

It’s already thought that maybe Kristen is lying. Is the A being stolen? I wouldn’t put that pastor, you know, doc, as a general rule, I don’t put anything past Kristen, but I think she’s on the time.

Have to hope to find it before it’s too late.

You’s got, you’ve done everything medically possible Do. She’s gone. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. She’s God. The hope

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

How many times have we overcome obstacles that we didn’t think were possible to overcome all these years? How did we do that? Huh? I’ll tell you our love.

No, you don’t.

Listen,

Doc, I have a theory. About who could have taken an or

I love you.

Forget it. I’ll come back later. Don’t leave on my account.

Was that your lovely mother I saw here earlier? I’d watch what you say about my mother. What? I’m just about to pay her a compliment. I gotta say Kate Usher looking well. No thanks to you. Excuse me. I know all about it. I know how you tried to kill my mom and her friends, Kayla and Marlena. Alright, take it easy.

You know there’s another way of looking at this. Even if I had, for the sake of argument, poisoned kitty cat, Kate, obviously it didn’t take, your mother is still alive. Like I say, well,

oh my love.

Oh, I wish I hadn’t wasted so much time. When are you from far? I am so sorry, Katie. I am so sorry that

I waited so long. To tell you how I felt, and I am so sorry that I couldn’t protect you

from Morpheus and Kristen. I hope that they just suffer in help forever for they did to you.

Okay. I love you so much. I loved you so much, and I will, I will forever. You will be in my heart and in my soul every minute of every day for the rest of my life. Oh my God, I, I will miss you so much. I will miss you so much.

Hey, man. Um, it’s my, it’s my mom. She, uh, She’s gone.

What’s wrong? Oh. If you’re worried about protection, don’t be Is this time, oh, I came prepared. Wow. Mm-hmm. . Well then that makes two of us. So it’s not the protection. What’s the problem?

I just really wanna make sure that you’re ready. I am definitely, are you Stephanie Johnson? I have been ready since the first moment I set eyes on you in the square.

I guess that’s. I guess so

a good check on Roman. I gotta go give my brothers and sisters a call, so thanks. Just take care of dad.

Chad, I’m so sorry, buddy. I know Kate loved you, loved you so much. She was always there for me. Were you able to reach Stephanie? I called her several times. I left messages. I, I haven’t been able to, to, to, she hasn’t called me back. No. I need her here. You go be with Roman and um, I’ll go find her. Do you even know where she is?

I think I have an idea. Yeah. Like, don’t worry, I’ll get her here.

Come in.

Hey, I had a puppy send over some chicken noodle soup for you. Thanks. I’ll try to get some down a little later on.

How are you feeling?

I’m better now that you’re here. But I’m worried.

Riley, I know you took Kristen’s daughter

and we all know how volatile she can be when she’s provoked, and wondering if you thought about that.

No. Maybe I should have, I guess. You know, was anybody that, that’s like playing with fire. I know. Okay. You know what? You’re right as always, and I know I should have be, especially since you have more experience dealing with psychopaths than anyone in this town. Hmm, you bet. And speaking of people that are unbalanced, John went to Statesville.

See? Yeah, he told me. Hopefully he has better luck getting through that am bastard about telling us where the orchid is than I had with Kristen.

You better be glad they found that serum in time to save my mom and her friends. And what was the drunken black sheep of the Horton family gonna do if they hadn? Pee on my shoes, like the pathetic wino. You are wino. Hey, knock it off. Just relax. Just having a bit of fun with Bill Horton’s bastard. Screw you.

En relax. Not with not worth it. John, what are you doing here? Well, isn’t it obvious he came to see his ex son-in-law, the Booz Hound, who kidnapped his stepdaughter? You know, John, I, I get that you’re applying for sainthood, but I gotta figure the man upstairs will cut you some slack if you let the village idiot rot in here.

Figure you got it wrong again, Mylo not here for Lucas, in your view.

Hey Roman, buddy. Hey, I’m so sorry.

You know, Kate and I had our differences. I know one thing we had in common was our love and respect for you. I know how good you two were for each other. I know how happy she made you. She did. Yeah, she did. I hope I made her happy too. Of course she’s okay. She’s hanging in there. Steve, she’s gotta make it.

I’m praying for her. And Mar and I know Katie would be doing the very same.

You’re here for me. Well hot. Color me both surprised and flattered to what do I owe this unexpected? Cut the crap. Well, you got the orchid. Where is it? The orchid. I don’t have it, John. Nor do I have the foggiest idea where it might be. You need another orchid? Why? What’s going on? Your mother, Kayla, and doctor sick again.

Apparently they needed additional shots from the original antigo, but the organ needed for the serum has come up missing. I gotta go to the corner. Wow. Well, I guess Christmas came late around here because you, John Black are definitely the bearer of good tidings.

You feeling any better? Hmm, that’s enough. I’m, I’m feeling about the same as the last. 10 times you asked me in the last 20 times, John asked me,

I wanna talk about you and your life. I wanna know what’s happened since, since the love of my life convinced the mother of my unborn child to have an abortion. Oh, Eric, I know. I know. That’s not exactly the trees. Jane insists that not going through the pregnancy was her decision, and somehow you’re blaming Nicole.

I just wish she hadn’t gotten involved after all. Well, and then what you’ve been doing is getting involved with. Bar room bras and planning kid nuggets. No crawling. I know how much you wanna have a family, and I, I know that you will have, I promise you, I just, I don’t want what’s happening with these two women in your life.

To that beautiful golden heart of yours,

hello. Yeah. Alex have the charges. Rex Lucas. I just saw John Lucas. Hey, um, I was just gonna call you Ja. John told me Mom’s sick again. What’s going on, Lucas? Stop. Listen please. I wish that I had better news and I wish to, I didn’t have to tell you this over the phone. Tell me what, over the phone, what’s going on?

It’s mom.

She’s.

Ask Kate.

What? I’m sorry baby. I’m so sorry. Oh, oh my, my brother and uh, and he children and Steve. Yeah. I need to see our kids we’re, Stephanie, Chad went to find, he’s pretty

Okay.

Steph, look, it’s Chad. I’m, I’m at the square right now. I’m at, and uh, I thought that you and Alex would be at the bistro.

Look, I, I, I didn’t wanna have to leave this voicemail, but I, I, I can’t find you anywhere and you’re not picking up the phone.

Kate’s dead. Oh. Just a little while ago. And your mom is really sick. So I need you to call me back, or I need you to get to the hospital right away. Okay.

My beautiful sister.

I am so sorry about it. Listen, I’m gonna go outside and make some calls, see if I can reach Jill and Trip, okay?

I asked Stu, Steve call her kids. I need to see them. I’ll see my brother. I’m so glad you’re here. So my heart just goes out for you. Lucy, Kate, I, I know how much you loved her. She made it easy. Not always. You’ve heard about that? Not always, but you know what, sis? Just time around. Let’s time around. Katie and I, we were able.

To appreciate each other more than ever, not take each other God. And I’m so grateful for that. And that our son was there with us, has been just been such a comfort. He’s gotta get through this because he has you as.

Well, I know about that, but what I do know, Kay, you couldn’t beat us,

Kay. I just lost my wife. I’ll be to him if I lose my baby sister too.

Do you understand him?

So let me get this straight. Kristen used the orchid to blackmail your dimmed son into playing house with her under your roof. And then she couldn’t even produce the damn thing because you saw from the Dard mansion where she had it hidden bastar. What is your problem? I’m gonna kill you. I’m gonna kill you.

Just like you kill my mother. Kate Crisis Sock DirectX is gone. She’s gone. And I’m gonna make you bang. Look at dirty. Hey. Not, not here. You saw that right? This attacked me not lawn. You are lawn horn. You wanna spend time with solitary? Hey, just take it easy on me. Just find out he lost his mother. I’m sorry, Katie.

I’m sorry man. I’m sorry. Can’t It’s ok. You try to get a chance and get a chance to say goodbye. No, no, no. Listen to me. She knew how much you loved you and I know for a fact how much she loved you, her kids, her grandkids, most important element in her life. Hold onto that. Okay? Alright.

But I wasn’t here. I didn’t get to say goodbye, didn’t get to tell her how much I loved her.

She.

Stephanie, she was too.

Transcript proofread and provided by Suzanne

Nina: [ Sniffles ]

[ Keys jingle, door opens ]

Nina: Hey.

Ava: Hey. What do you have there?

Nina: [ Sighs ]

Willow: I used to feel such dread when I came here for chemo. Today I have a bone marrow donor. I can actually believe this nightmare is finally coming to an end.

Michael: You are a fighter, willow. And I am — I am so amazed by you.

Willow: I couldn’t have done any of this without you by my side. I’m so excited for what the future holds for our family.

Martin: Excuse me! Commissioner Ashford, Detective, I’m afraid I can’t let you go in there.

[ Scoffs ]

Elizabeth: Terry. Hey, how you doing?

Terry: I’ m ready to throw my phone in a medical waste bin.

Elizabeth: Sorry. I can’t imagine how chaotic it’s been.

Martin: Dr. Terry Randolph! As Chief of Staff of this facility, I must insist that you intercede before the commissioner here, Detective Falconeri, can do unnecessary and intentional harm to one of your patients.

Alexis: I know. I won’t be able to, uh, make it back to the office this afternoon. Something came up… …with my family.

Nikolas: I’ll be quick. I just need a few minutes to grab my things. The less time I spend here, the better.

Victor: Spencer, where are you off to?

Sonny: Spencer’s coming home with me.

Victor: [ Scoffs ] Like hell he is.

Sonny: He can make his own decision whether he wants to stay in this pit.

Victor: I’ll be damned if I allow you to put my great-nephew’s future in jeopardy.

Nikolas: I appreciate you looking out for me, Uncle Victor, but the condition of my release was that I was to remain in your care until the date that my original sentence ended. And it’s past that date. So I’m free to do whatever I want.

Victor: Very well, of course you are. But you’ve just lost your friend Dr. Westbourne. I-isn’t this a time to be with family?

Nikolas: I will be with family.

Victor: [ Sighs ] I know you’ve suffered a dreadful loss. I-I’m truly, deeply sorry. So please stay here. Let me help you through this —

Nikolas: If it was just you, Uncle Victor, I would consider it. But the sooner that I get away from my father, the better.

Victor: Yeah, I heard Esme turned up last night. It was all over the news. I know you and Nikolas were always at odds over that troubled woman.

Nikolas: It’s more than that. Esme is pregnant with my father’s baby. So do you really think that he’s the best person to console me in my time of need?

Jordan: There’s no need for theatrics, Mr. Grey. I already spoke to Miss Prince’s neurologist, and he said she was capable of answering questions.

Terry: If her doctor signed off on it, I see no reason to stop the commissioner and Detective Falconeri from questioning Miss Prince.

Martin: No reason? My client is pregnant, fragile, can’t remember a single, solitary thing about her life. What could the police possibly hope to achieve by harassing her?

Terry: Dr. Finn. Can you please double check that Esme Prince is strong enough at the present moment to talk to the police and monitor her while they ask their questions?

Finn: Of course.

Terry: Thank you. If you see any reason for concern, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Finn: Will do. Please follow me.

Elizabeth: Want to talk about it?

Terry: It’s just been one thing after another, and I’m having to catch up on everything that Britt was taking care of. We were at her party last night, you know? She was dancing and singing. How is she just gone?

Nikolas: Thanks for meeting me on such short notice.

Alexis: It was no small feat given today’s news cycle. They found Esme — pregnant, no memory. Britt’s — Britt’s death. How is Spencer handling it?

Nikolas: Uh, Spencer isn’t exactly talking to me these days.

Alexis: He came over at Christmas. He told me about some of your issues.

Nikolas: Not surprised. Actually, I didn’t ask to meet to discuss Spencer. I’m in trouble. I need legal advice.

Alexis: Nikolas, how many times do I have tell you… I just… …I’m not an attorney?

Nikolas: …Need advice, Aunt Alexis, even if in an unofficial capacity.

Alexis: Don’t you have an uncle who’s a lawyer?

Nikolas: Yeah. He’s busy defending Esme on criminal prosecution.

Alexis: Good luck with that. That’s gonna be almost an impossible defense to mount.

Nikolas: All the more reason that she needs a good lawyer.

Alexis: I don’t care about Esme’s legal trouble. What I care about is why you care about it.

Nikolas: I’m the father of her baby. I need your help protecting my unborn child.

Willow: I know Terry will get to us as soon as she can, but it’s hard to wait.

Michael: Well, you know what? At least we’re waiting for good news.

Willow: Exactly. And I will only admit this to you. But… I’m impatient.

Michael: No. You? No, never.

[ Both chuckle ]

Willow: I want to have this transplant as soon as possible. I want to be able to tell your family that I have leukemia. But I have a donor, and my prognosis is good.

Michael: Is that why you haven’t told them to this point?

Willow: Partly. Of course, the main reason is Wiley. I know he’d pick up on everyone’s concern, and I don’t want him to be frightened. But some of it is self-protection… not wanting to see the fear in their eyes not wanting them to have to strain to be normal around me.

Michael: You don’t want to tell them about the problem until the problem’s solved.

Willow: Gee, who does that sound like?

Michael: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. No, I — I-I do that, too. Look, I-if… if keeping your diagnosis a secret from my family helped you, then I’d be all for it. I just don’t want you to think that you have to protect them. My mom, my sisters, the Quartermaines — they all love you. They’re your family, too.

Willow: Even your father?

Nina: Uh, this is just, uh, a — a blank laboratory report. You know, when Aunt Liesl cleaned out Britt’s office she just took a lot of these, um — these sensitive documents, you know? What I’m gonna do is I’m just gonna sort through all this and I’m gonna separate Britt’s personal documents and then return the documents that belong to G.H., but, um…

Ava: Nina, surely you don’t have to do that now.

Nina: Aunt Liesl — she’s a wreck. She won’t eat. She’s — she’s napping in my room. I just want to do whatever I can do, you know, to try to ease her grief.

Ava: Well, I think it’s admirable that you want to help. But losing Britt, it’s –it’s hard on you, too, right? Don’t you want to take at least a minute?

Nina: Yeah. You know, it was really nice reconnecting with Britt when she came back to Port Charles this time. I can’t believe that she’s gone.

Willow: Look, Sonny can be your family if you want. What do you want?

Michael: [ Chuckles ] What I want is for people that I love to stop pressuring me to reconcile with him.

Willow: Ouch.

Michael: No, it’s not just you. It’s — it’s — it’s Dante. It’s Kristina. It’s Olivia. It’s Brook Lynn. And I hate disappointing them. Most importantly, I hate disappointing you, but I’m — like, I’m not — I am not in a position to reconcile with — with Sonny right now.

Willow: Why not?

Michael: Because I would be lying… …faking respect for a man that I don’t have. The man that I grew up with, the man I grew up loving — he never came back from Nixon Falls. This man is a hypocrite. And he can’t stand being around my mom because when she looks at him, she sees him for what he’s not. And so do I.

Willow: That must be really painful for your dad… …to feel he’s not the man he once was, to know that you and your mom, the people he respects the most, don’t respect him. I’m sure that’s why he’s so infatuated with Nina, because she reflects back to him what he wants to see and tells him what he wants to hear.

Michael: Yeah, well, I hope they’re really happy together, then.

Willow: [ Inhales deeply ] Your father won’t be. He needs you, Michael. Sonny needs you to believe that he can be who he was again.

Michael: Sonny is convinced he’s — he’s perfect just the way that he is.

Willow: But you know better. And maybe for the sake of the father you loved, you can have some compassion for the man he’s turned out to be.

Alexis: You slept with Esme? Not only is she crazy, she’s your son’s girlfriend. What the hell’s wrong with you?! Oh, my god, Nikolas.

Nikolas: I know. It was wrong. It was stupid. It was selfish.

Alexis: You think?

Nikolas: Please, just spare me the lecture. I’ve already heard it all from my mother.

Alexis: Does Ava know?

Nikolas: And Sonny.

Alexis: Well, I don’t know what you think I’m gonna add to this.[ Sighs ] Let’s just move on. Why don’t you tell me why you want me to protect your baby?

Nikolas: Martin is making sure that Esme is safe from jail and the police during the last few weeks of pregnancy. I’m concerned about after. I want full custody of my child.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Finn: You can question her.

Jordan: Miss Prince, you are a person of interest in some ongoing cases.

Esme: I know — murders and porn.

Jordan: I understand you can’t remember anything, but Detective Falconeri and i were hoping we may be able to jog your memory.

Martin: However, you do not have to answer their questions.

Esme: It’s okay. I want to.

Elizabeth: I’m really sorry about Britt.

Terry: We made a really good team. The hospital won’t be the same without her.

Elizabeth: God knows, I had my issues with her, but she really stepped up and became a good co-chief of staff.

Terry: Yeah. Professional respect turned to friendship. I’m really gonna miss Britt, you know?

Elizabeth: I know.

[ Cellphone beeps ]

Elizabeth: I’m here if you need anything.

Terry: Yeah. Gotta go. My next appointment is here.

Elizabeth: Okay.

Terry: Thank you for being a good friend.

Spencer: I already told you that things between me and my father were damaged beyond repair. And Esme being pregnant with his kid makes that even worse. I’m not gonna be in the same house as him. Please, Uncle Victor, I need you to understand.

Victor: [ Sighs ] Get your things.

Spencer: Thank you.

Victor: [ Sighs ] Sonny, take a seat.

Sonny: No, that’s fine. Thank you, though.

Victor: We both care about Spencer’s future. I think we can help each other.

Sonny: Not even when hell freezes over.

Victor: This is as difficult for me as it is for you. But I’m prepared to put my pride aside for Spencer’s sake. Now, the big question is — are you?

Nina: Well, Britt, you know, she had the kind of light inside of her that you always expect would keep burning. You should have seen her at her party that she threw for her birthday on New Year’s Eve. You never would have guessed that…

Ava: What? Guessed what?

Nina: Well, I guess there’s no harm in telling you now. Britt had Huntington’s Disease.

Ava: That’s a neurological disorder, isn’t it?

Nina: Yeah, it’s a really serious one. It’s genetic. Eventually, it would have killed her.

Ava: I’m so sorry. So that’s — that’s why she had her big party, huh?

Nina: Yeah. It was a goodbye of sorts, wasn’t it? I just wish I knew so I could have told her how much I loved her. But at least she got the big birthday party that she always wanted, right?

Ava: Yeah.

Nina: And it’s a small consolation that Esme is in police custody.

Ava: Oh, Esme. She’s full of surprises. Turns out that she’s pregnant… with Nikolas’ baby.

Nina: What?

Ava: Mm-hmm.

Nina: Oh… what?! I have no idea how you must be feeling.

Ava: But we’re not — we’re not talking about me. We’re talking about you right now.

Nina: Hey, hey, hey. We’re both going through something right now. This is what we can do for each other. We can support each other.

Ava: The truth is, I am so mad. I am so angry with Nikolas. I don’t even think there’s a word to describe how mad I am.

Nina: Well, what are you gonna do?

Ava: I’m gonna take your advice. I’m gonna get this divorce over with as quickly as possible.

Nina: Yeah. Good. Good for you.

Ava: [ Chuckles ]

Nina: So you’ve given up this idea of revenge?

Ava: No. No. [ Laughs ] No, not exactly. No. And if I pull off this coup as expected, there’s gonna be a little reward in it for you, too.

Willow: I’m so sorry about Dr. Westbourne. She was an excellent doctor — caring, compassionate.

Michael: Yeah, so it must be especially hard on you.

Terry: Britt was always focused on her patients. So I know that if she were still here, she’d tell me to get down to business. Let’s start with your recent bloodwork. [ Exhales sharply ] Alright. Unfortunately… your numbers aren’t where we want them. Your blast percentage has increased and your red blood cell count is actually a bit lower than before you began chemo.

Michael: What’s — w-w-what does that mean?

Terry: The chemo has not had the effect we hoped.

Willow: What about the baby?

Terry: I transferred your case to Dr. Navarro. According to your latest labs and ultrasound, your baby’s healthy. Your daughter is strong. But she’ll have to be for what’s next. You all will. Are you ready?

Nina: How does your revenge on Nikolas reward me?

Ava: I’m moving out.

Nina: Why?

Ava: I had a very productive meeting with Victor last night.

Nina: Productive for Victor, I’m sure.

Ava: And it turns out, he can give me exactly what I want.

Nina: Which is what?

Ava: Wyndemere. Spoon Island. The whole enchilada.

Nina: Good for you. You’re gonna take Nikolas’ home?

Ava: Well, it’s my home, too. And after all that loverboy has done, I’m gonna get my pound of flesh, every single acre of it.

Nina: So what makes you think that Victor or Nikolas will agree to that?

Ava: Well, I don’t know what recourse they have, considering my leverage — infidelities and — and children out of wedlock, and…

Nikolas: I, Nikolas Cassadine, of sound mind and body do hereby acknowledge and confess that I, and I alone, am responsible for the disappearance of Esme Prince. I know this because I killed her.

Ava: I am gonna get Wyndemere.

Nina: So you’re leaving?

Ava: Yeah. I thought you’d be happy to get rid of me.

Nina: Yeah. [ Chuckles ] I’ve sort of gotten used to having you around.

Ava: Nina Reeves. Are you gonna miss me?

Nina: God help me.

Ava: [ Chuckles ]

Nina: I think I am.

Ava: [ Laughs ] Oh, you know something? If someone had told me sometime ago that I would hear you say those words, I would never have believed it. And if they told me that I would feel exactly the same way, I would have slapped them silly. But here we are.

Sonny: This has nothing to do with pride. Only reason I’m here is because of Spencer. So go ahead. You — you need to say something? Say it.

Victor: I came back to Port Charles with one goal — to reunite my family. As a family man yourself, you must understand how important it was for me to strengthen my family against all threats. Now, I’ve done everything I can to bridge this chasm between Nikolas and Spencer, to try to show them how important it is for them to have a good father-son relationship. But…I’m just hoping that where I failed you — you might succeed. Spencer looks up to you. He listens to you. Use your influence with him to convince him that it’s in his best interest to r-repair his relationship with his father.

Sonny: You’re asking me for a favor after what you’ve done, Victor?

Victor: Oh, no, no. I’m not asking you to do me a favor, Sonny. This is for Spencer.

Sonny: Do you think it’s in Spencer’s best interest to be around his father? I don’t know if you know this, but there was a time where I was disappointed in Spencer. He was stalking Ava. But you know what? He was a kid. He was angry. He was hurt. He lashed out. Nikolas does not have an excuse. He has had every opportunity to be a — a father to his son. And he hasn’t done it, Victor!

Victor: I don’t disagree with you. Nikolas seems incapable of — of repairing the trust of his son. But I do know Nikolas loves Spencer. Now, sh– does he deserve to be cut out of his life? Can you honestly endorse that, given the state of affairs between you and your own son?

Sonny: Okay, this is where you — you gotta — you gotta watch yourself, okay? You keep my family out of your mouth. Or that will be the last time you ever say anything.

Alexis: I’m not gonna be a part of taking away a child from its mother. It’s wrong.

Nikolas: You would leave my child at the tender mercies of Esme Prince because of your principles?

Alexis: Okay, I’m gonna tell you the truth. Sam was taken away from me by my father, and I am not about to help another Cassadine take away a child from its mother, no matter who she is.

Nikolas: But Esme isn’t —

Alexis: I know she’s awful. I don’t care. She’s still the mother.

Nikolas: The baby is mine, too. She can’t have any part in raising it.

Alexis: You know, Nikolas, it’s not like you have a record of being a sterling parent.

Nikolas: I know I’m far from perfect. Okay? I failed Spencer on every level, but I know what my mistakes are, and I won’t make them again as long as I don’t have to deal with Esme’s poisonous influence. She can’t have any part in raising our child.

Alexis: This isn’t about protecting an unborn child. This is about you wanting to atone for your mistakes.

Dante: That’s Cameron Webber. That’s Josslyn Jacks. They were the victims of the revenge porn. That’s Trina Robinson. She was framed for the revenge porn. That guy there, that’s Oz Haggerty. He accused you of drugging him. He’s also one of the victims in The Hook attacks.

Esme: I-I don’t recognize any of these people, and I don’t know why I would have done such horrible things. I-I’m not a murderer, at least I don’t think I am. Just — I can’t look at any more photos. Take that away.

Martin: That’s alright. Just remember, she is a young, pregnant woman with traumatic memory loss. Unless you’re gonna charge her with any of these heinous crimes, I’m afraid I’m gonna have to pull the plug on this interrogation. Right now.

[ Monitor beeping ]

Jordan: Miss Prince, Mr. Grey, we’ll be in touch.

[ Door closes ]

Martin: Hey. Not to worry. I know how to set you free.

Dante: If she’s faking it, she’s putting on a hell of a performance.

Jordan: And if she’s not?

Dante: It doesn’t really change anything. We still have evidence and witness testimony tying her to the revenge porn and the drugging and attempted murder of Oz Haggerty. Right, just ’cause she doesn’t remember doing it doesn’t mean she’s innocent.

Jordan: And The Hook attacks?

Dante: I don’t think it’s her.

Finn: I was just, uh, picking up a chart.

Elizabeth: I could tell Terry really appreciated you stepping in to help with the Esme situation.

Finn: How are you doing? I can imagine how difficult this is seeing Esme again.

Elizabeth: It was certainly a shock.

Finn: Yeah, especially, since she’s pregnant with, uh, Nik’s baby after you recently miscarried.

Elizabeth: You don’t have to do this.

Finn: Do what?

Elizabeth: Pretend like you care.

Finn: I’m not pretending. I-I would never do that with you. You’ll always be Violet’s aunt, and I’ll always care about you. Just ’cause we didn’t work out, that doesn’t change how I feel.

Elizabeth: Finn, wait. There’s something I have to tell you… about Esme.

Jordan: It’s too soon to drop Esme as a suspect in the hook attacks.

Dante: I-I know, I know, I understand. But — but let’s — you know, it’s getting less and less likely, right? So you have the victims — Ava, Diane, Oz Haggerty — all ties to Trina, right? The two outliers being Brando Corbin and the exotic animal dealer. And Brando was only killed ’cause he followed Josslyn out into the alleyway and he was attacked.

Jordan: Yeah. Well, wrong place, wrong time.

Dante: Right. And then you got the exotic animal dealer probably hooking the killer up with — with the venom.

Jordan: So he was killed to shut him up.

Dante: Right. And Esme in her condition… I mean, do you really think she could have killed that guy and jumped out the window when she heard me coming in the room? I just don’t see it.

Jordan: Well, who else would be targeting the people around Trina Robinson?

Dante: Well, why don’t we look at it a different way? Maybe we can eliminate Esme as a suspect by figuring out where she’s been hiding out the last few months.

Michael: We always knew that the bone marrow transplant was Willow’s best chance, so, um, we’re ready to do whatever it takes to help her beat this.

Terry: The match comes at a good time. Given Willow’s labs, I want to schedule this transplant as soon as possible.

Willow: Isn’t it possible the procedure could harm the baby?

Terry: Complications can arise with bone marrow transplant. Given that you’re eight months pregnant and how healthy the baby is, my preference would be for you to deliver before the procedure.

Willow: But couldn’t a premature birth harm the baby?

Terry: Dr. Navarro will add her opinion, but plenty of babies are born prematurely safely and without complications. I think you have every reason to expect a positive outcome. As soon as you’re ready after delivering… we’ll do the transplant. I’ll give you some time to discuss.

Michael: Okay, alright. So — so the chemo results weren’t exactly what we were hoping for, but we’re blessed to have found a donor.

Willow: I’m not so sure I can go through with it.

Nina: Uh, I don’t have much family, and it seems to be getting smaller every day. Britt and Nelle and J and then… not being able to see Wiley. Didn’t we start to team up when I was on the brink of losing the family that I found with Valentin and Charlotte? We have been through a lot, haven’t we? I’ve really come to depend on you.

Ava: I’ve lost my fair share of family, too, haven’t I? And Nikolas was my family. Oh, that’s why it hurt so much when our marriage fell apart. But you were there for me. Gave me a place to stay… [ Chuckles ] …So I wouldn’t be alone, a place where I had a friend I could confide in. [ Voice breaking ] It means so much to me.

Nina: I hope you get everything you want. You go get ’em. And just so you know… your room’s not going anywhere.

Nikolas: Spencer’s the one that gave up on me. I don’t blame him. I mean, I made mistake after mistake. I-I betrayed him in all of the worst ways.

Alexis: I’ll say. You slept with his girlfriend. [ Sighs ] But you are still his father.

Nikolas: Doesn’t matter. No. Spencer looks at me, he sees a cautionary tale. I’m not the kind of man that he wants to be. In his eyes, the only way to prevent that is to sever all ties. I don’t even think he’s wrong. But I have a responsibility to my unborn child to rectify the mistakes of my past, to give my baby, the unborn baby, the life that I could never give Spencer.

Alexis: What about your responsibility to Spencer? You keep talking and focusing on this unborn baby. Have you just given up your relationship with Spencer, the son you already have?

Finn: Elizabeth, what about Esme?

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ]

Jordan: Nurse Baldwin? A few minutes?

Elizabeth: Uh, can you give me a second?

Jordan: This won’t take long.

Elizabeth: Yes. What do you need?

Jordan: A statement… about you and Esme Prince.

Victor: I, uh, remember the news surrounding a — a rather contentious visitation battle between your son and your… well, Nina Reeves. I also know that you and your father overcame your own differences towards the end of his life, and I’m asking you to use that experience to help give Spencer the same chance with his father as you had with yours.

Sonny: In a relationship… both people have to want it and be willing to work at it. Nikolas doesn’t want to work at it, and I don’t even think Spencer wants it anyway. So if he changes his mind, it’s not gonna be because of me.

Victor: Well, we never have as much time as we want.

Sonny: What does that mean?

Spencer: I’m ready.

Sonny: That’s all you got?

Spencer: Uh, yeah. I bumped into Demetrius on his way up to the north tower. He said he’d be happy to send the rest of my things.

Victor: Well, the north tower’s closed.

Spencer: I guess not anymore. He went right up the stairs after I finished talking to him.

Victor: Ah, well, I’ll make sure the rest of your things are sent out to you.

Spencer: Thank you for understanding, Uncle Victor. I’ll still see you around, I hope.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Just try to get rid of me.

Spencer: I don’t care what everyone says about you. I’m glad that you’re here.

Victor: So am I.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Elizabeth: I don’t understand. I already gave you my statement after Esme attacked me on the pier.

Dante: Right. Uh, do you remember — do you remember if she was pregnant at all?

Elizabeth: I was actually just about to tell Finn that I was surprised when I found out she was pregnant, so, no, I didn’t notice that night. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

Dante: No, no, I mean — I mean, all the surviving victims, not one of them have mentioned that their attacker was pregnant, and she would have been showing at the time.

Elizabeth: Yeah, well, it was dark and she was wearing all black. It happened really fast. And I hit my head, things just went…fuzzy. Is she still a prime suspect in the attacks?

Jordan: She’s still a person of interest, but we have reason to think she may not be the killer. I reviewed the statement Britt Westbourne gave to Detective Bennet. Dr. Westbourne fought with the hook for several minutes, but she was also an OB. It seems likely that she would have noticed if she was pregnant, but she made no mention of it. Still, we can’t rule Esme out as a suspect.

Dante: The real question is, where has Esme been hiding and why?

Finn: I don’t know the why, but I got an idea about the where. You might want to start with Wyndemere.

Nikolas: Spencer’s a grown man. He’s made his decision. Of course, I’m gonna be here for him if he changes his mind and he wants a relationship with me.

Alexis: And meanwhile, you get a do-over with this unborn baby? No, that’s not how it works. And what are you gonna do when the baby grows up and wants to know where his brother is? You’re gonna say, “I gave up on him”? You don’t get to do that. A parent takes care of all of their children. That’s your job. It might be impossible sometimes, but that’s your job, Nikolas.

Nikolas: I hear you. [ Sighs ] But right now, I can’t do anything for Spencer, so I’m gonna do everything I can for my unborn baby. And that includes protecting it from Esme. She’s dangerous. Can you — can you honestly say that it’s in that child’s best interest to have Esme Prince in its life? I love this baby, and I want to do right by it.

Alexis: I will find you another attorney that can handle difficult custody cases.

Nikolas: Thank you.

Alexis: Thank me by taking my advice. Do not give up on Spencer.

Michael: Well, hey, hey, isn’t this good news? I mean, the baby is gonna be here sooner than we expected. You’re gonna get a bone marrow transplant and… [ Exhales sharply ] …You’ll recover from leukemia.

Willow: I’m afraid of giving birth early. What if something goes wrong?

Michael: You heard Terry. She wouldn’t have recommended early labor if — if she thought it would harm the baby.

[ Door opens ]

Terry: Unfortunately, I have some bad news.

Ava: Well , you’re not gonna be completely alone after I leave. You’ll still have Sonny.

Nina: True. So what are you gonna do on that big pile of rocks all by yourself?

Ava: Well, I have Avery. And I’m assuming that you’re gonna pop in from time to time.

Nina: Yeah, I’ll tag along when Sonny comes to pick up and drop off Avery. [ Laughs ] What?

Ava: I, uh… I just… [ Chuckles ] I just never imagined that you would end up dating the father of my daughter. It’s just weird.

Nina: It is weird. Life is funny, isn’t it?

[ Both laugh ]

[ Door opens ]

Nina: Hey!

Sonny: [ Chuckles ] Hey.

Ava: Hey. Hi. You have a key, huh?

Sonny: Yeah, I guess I’m special.

Nina: Yeah. You’re very, very special. Where — where’s Spencer?

Ava: Spencer?

Sonny: He’s going to be living with me for a little while. I just dropped him off at the penthouse.

Nina: How’s he doing?

Sonny: Well, between, you know, losing Britt and cutting ties with his father, he’s not having the greatest day.

Ava: Well, I’m glad he has you.

Sonny: Yeah, well, I-I never thought I’d see the day that you would, you know, feel bad for Spencer.

Ava: You know, he apologized to me. He did. A real sincere apology.

Sonny: Well, good for him. Yeah.

Ava: Yeah. And that’s one less person that I have to evict from Wyndemere. I’m taking it from Nikolas in the divorce.

Sonny: [ Laughs ] Congratulations.

Ava: Mm-hmm. Oh, that reminds me.

Sonny: What?

Ava: I have to call my lawyer. So… excuse me.

Sonny: Alright. So, uh… …how you holding up?

Nina: Not great. Not great. Spencer’s not the only one having a rough time of it.

Sonny: Yeah?

Nina: Yeah.

Sonny: Would you like me to take care you?

Nina: I do want you to take care of me.

Sonny: Okay.

Nina: Hold me. Take care of me. But before we do all that, how about… two hot ciders? I’ve got those cinnamon sticks.

Sonny: Mm. Okay.

Nina: Okay. I’ll be right back.

Sonny: Alright. [ Sighs ]

Willow: Whatever the news, tells us. We can handle it.

Terry: All bone marrow donors have to undergo a physical exam before donating. Your donor’s doctor didn’t clear her for the procedure.

Nina: As promised, two hot ciders with cinnamon sticks. Hey. Is everything okay? Sonny?

Sonny: No.

Willow: But how can that be?

Terry: Sometimes potential donors have medical conditions that make them unable to donate that they weren’t aware they had before they entered the registry. That’s why we do the physicals.

Michael: Where do we go from here?

Terry:We keep looking for a match.

Michael: I know — I know you’re doing everything you can.

Willow: And I wasn’t sure I wanted to go through early labor.

Terry:Given your lab numbers, I’d like us to prioritize this.

Michael: What — what about, um — what about other treatments?

Terry:We have to consider them, of course. Anything to give us time to find a new donor.

Michael: Okay? Uh, just — just let me know how I can help. Any resources you need, don’t hesitate to ask. We will do everything in our power to give Willow… the time that she needs. We’re still in this fight.

Terry:Absolutely.

Esme: How can you set me free? The cops seem so sure that I’ve done all of these terrible things.

Martin: Hey. Now, the only evidence that ties you to that revenge porn or drugging the bartender is testimony of a dead man. As for the murders, the police got a theory that links you from a motivational standpoint, but some of the victims don’t fit the pattern. And not to be too indelicate about it, but you are very pregnant and that casts serious doubt on whether or not you would even be capable of attacking somebody like that with a hook.

Esme: Do you know how condescending you sound?

Martin: Yeah. But don’t take it out on me. I’m a feminist. I’m just telling you what I know.

Esme: [ Exhales sharply ] So… what does all of this mean?

Martin: One thing is for sure. If you had an alibi, I might be able to… persuade the PCPD not to charge you. So, it’s vital we figure out before they do where you’ve been hiding all this time.

Esme: Then I would have an alibi?

Martin: Key to your freedom.

Jordan: We searched Wyndemere for Esme once before, after Oz Haggerty’s testimony at Trina’s trial.

inn: Yeah, you know, I just think she’s been hiding out on the island. Maybe not the house, but, you know, every time she’s been seen, it’s been near the pier where the launch departs from, you know, and of all the places in Port Charles where Esme spent time, she spent most of it on Spoon Island. Seems like that’d be the best place to make it difficult for her to be detected, alright? Especially if everybody was focused on Wyndemere.

Dante: They did find her on The Haunted Star soaking wet. Maybe she was going to or from Wyndemere and… fell in the water?

Jordan: It’s certainly worth searching Wyndemere again for evidence of her presence on the island.

Victor: Ah, just the person I wanted to see.

Nikolas: I know we have a lot to discuss —

Victor: Oh, indeed we do. Starting with what’s been going on in the north tower.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Laura (to Elizabeth): Why would that be a good thing?

Spencer: She needs to be held accountable.

Esme: You really think I did all those crazy things?

Victor (to Nikolas): The Cassadines would be better off if they cut their losses.

Dex (to Josslyn): If you’re not careful, it can really mess you up.

Willow (to Michael): Why don’t you hate me for this?

Sonny: This in-fighting has to stop.

Devon: No, I appreciate you digging into this so quickly. Were you able to find out if there was a connection between audra and tucker? Okay. Hang on a second. What was the name of that llc you just said? That’s what I thought. No, that’s okay. Um, can you — can you send me this report by tonight? That’s great. Alright. Thank you very much.

[ Knock on door ]

Tucker: Alright, alright!

[ Clears throat ]

Audra: Uh, sorry. It’s just me. Hope you’re not too disappointed.

Tucker: I wasn’t expecting you at this hour.

Audra: Well, you’ve been ignoring my texts, so I had to come talk to you in person. What the hell is up with that? You know, if I did that to you, you’d be furious.

Tucker: Well, first of all, I’m in charge here of our little operation, so I can do whatever I please. And secondly, you know I have other priorities besides our business together, so I think you can take it down a notch.

Audra: Don’t try and handle me. But I think you’re gonna feel differently when you hear what I’ve been trying to tell you. Thanks in no small part to me, lily realized that she and jill could no longer be slowed down by devon. Chancellor-winters’ ipo is imminent. So, if you plan to make a move, we need to strategize.

Tucker: Okay. Thank you for the information. I’ll think about it, and I’ll be in touch.

Audra: [ Chuckling ] What? That’s it? You’re just gonna blow me off after all the work I’ve put into this? I mean, what’s happening here? Are you getting cold feet?

Tucker: Like I said, I will be in touch with you when I know how to proceed. So, if you’ll excuse me…

Audra: Why are you hustling me off? Are you expecting someone?

Tucker: Like I said, I am going to contemplate what you told me. That requires privacy. So, unless you’d like to wait in the bathroom again…

Audra: Fine. Hopefully by the time you get back to me, you’ll be in a better mood.

Tucker: Bye.

[ Door closes ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Audra: [ Sighs ]

Daniel: So, our number-one priority at omega sphere needs to be assembling a great tech team. I don’t want just good coders. You know, I want passion. I want people who are inspired by our mission. So, you know, don’t just be looking over résuméS. I want you to be meeting with these people face-to-face, really getting to know them, you know? And I want to — I want to build a loyal and committed team from the ground up.

Phyllis: Totally.

Daniel: ‘Cause you know, our division is only gonna be as good as the people that are in it.

Phyllis: Totally.

Daniel: And if anyone is giving you the vibes that you’re giving me right now, totally don’t hire them.

Phyllis: What vibes?

Daniel: Yeah, the vibes. No, you are lucky you already have this job. I mean, if this was an interview, it would be over by now. I mean, your lack of focus — it’s exactly what we don’t want.

Phyllis: What are you ta–

Daniel: No, we don’t want. You need to set the tone.

Phyllis: I’m setting the tone. I’m focused. I know what you want.

Daniel: Mm-hmm?

Phyllis: You want passion and loyalty and commitment. I mean, those are the things that I wanted when I was hiring. I know what you mean, okay? I get it. I’m glad you get it.

Daniel: Of course I get it.

Phyllis: Yeah. Too bad your sister doesn’t get it.

Daniel: What do you mean?

Phyllis: Your sister. She didn’t even fight to keep me at marchetti. I mean, what kind of loyalty did she show to me, her own mother?

Daniel: [ Exhales sharply ] Look, mom, I am really sorry about whatever happened with you and summer, but you need to move on. You need to move on to your new job with me. I mean, I am your boss.

[ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: I know that. Maybe my problem is I shouldn’t be working with my kids. That’s — [ Laughs ] That’s a joke.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, no, it’s not funny.

Phyllis: Oh.

Daniel: No. We’ve got a long road ahead, and I need you focused.

Phyllis: I’m very focused.

Daniel: Good. And, you know, maybe don’t make it so clear that I’m your second choice.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I’m having second thoughts about stealing from nikki.

Jack: Why? I thought we agreed. She is the perfect victim. No, she’s a known enemy, no one that stark would think we would be colluding with. You pull this off, you will convince him you are ready to do business with him again.

Diane: Yeah, but nikki is nikki. She’s formidable. And I — I don’t want to run the risk of re-igniting her anger towards me when she has finally backed off.

Jack: Okay. I am not thrilled with any of the risk involved in this whole thing, but given our options and, you know, and we’re talking about grand larceny, nikki is a suitable target. Look, she — I will explain things to her later. I will try to smooth things over.

Ashley: Oh, just what I love to see when I walk in the room, the two of you conspiring together. I don’t even want to know what the details are, but if you think you’re gonna smooth something over with me, you’re dead wrong.

In a world, where dry

Jack: Diane and I were just discussing her safety now that you and your co-conspirators have put her in jeopardy.

Ashley: Okay, just save it, please. I don’t want to have this conversation again. Why is she here? Why? All the time.

Jack: You are being extremely rude right now. You were right about one thing. This is our house. Diane is my guest. She came here to hear my concerns about her safety, which you put at risk.

Ashley: Oh, god.

Diane: I don’t want to create problems between the two of you.

Ashley: [ Laughs ] Sure you don’T.

[ Door opens ]

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

Phyllis: You’re right. You’re right, okay? Listen, I didn’t mean to get into the summer thing. I apologize. I am so excited to work with you. I am so excited to be part of this new venture of yours. So, let’s go, alright?

Daniel: I hope you mean that.

Phyllis: I do. I do mean it. Really. I am — I’m so excited to be in charge of the tech team at omega sphere.

Daniel: Good. No. Good, good. Great.

Phyllis: Okay.

Daniel: Well, let’s — let’s go get that talent then.

Phyllis: Alright. Good.

Daniel: Did you get any good candidates from the résumés i sent over, uh, anyone in there that you’re just dying to meet?

Phyllis: Mnh. I — I’ll — I’ll look at the résumés, okay? Sorry. I’m — daniel, please believe in me. I’m gonna put together the best tech team ever. Really. I promise you. And I’m not gonna let you down the way that summer let me down.

Daniel: Oh, my god. Ugh.

[ Laughs ] See? You were on point there for a minute, and now you’re just gone again.

Phyllis: Okay. I’m sorry. I’m just tired. That’s all. I’m just so tired. And this is nothing that a good night’s sleep won’t fix, okay? So, can we just circle back in the morning?

Daniel: Yeah. Yes. That’s fine. But, you know, is this — is this really — is this really — you know, are you exhausted? Are you tired? But —

Phyllis: Yeah.

Daniel: Or is it summer?

Phyllis: I think my feelings are just hurt because… she chose diane over me. That’s all.

Devon: Hey.

Lily: Hey.

Devon: Thank you for meeting me in person.

Lily: Yeah, no, it’s fine. I was actually already here. I didn’t really want to go home.

Devon: Why not? Is billy not there?

Lily: Well, I mean, it doesn’t really matter. Even when he is there, I feel alone.

Devon: What makes you say that? What’s going on with you guys?

Lily: Um, I don’t really want to talk about it. Um, what’s going on? Why did you want to meet here in person?

Devon: Well, I will tell you.

Audra: Hi.

Devon: Hello.

Lily: Hi. Um, is this about the ipo? ‘Cause I told you it’s happening.

Devon: It is. It’s absolutely about the ipo and how risky it is, given some new information that’s come to light.

Audra: I’ve done all the due diligence. Everything’s in order. I-I saw to every detail. So we’re in the clear from any threat from nate.

Devon: Well, guess what. I’m not worried about nate anymore. I’m worried about a completely different threat.

Lily: What are you talking about?

Devon: We have a new traitor at the company.

[ Pounding on door ]

Tucker: [ Sighs ] Popular guy.

[ Sniffs ] Ahh. Now, this is a welcome surprise.

Ashley: I am so sorry to show up unannounced.

Tucker: Well, come in.

Ashley: But, honestly, I felt like I had no place else to go. I mean, really. I mean, diane is always at my house, morning, noon, and night.

Tucker: Well, you’ve come to the right place. I had a feeling I should keep my schedule open tonight.

Ashley: Oh, yeah?

Tucker: Yeah.

Ashley: You had one of your mystical vibes that I was gonna barge in with a bottle of wine?

Tucker: Yeah. You’ve been on my mind, of course, so I think I manifested this.

Ashley: Oh, great. Listen. You know what? Diane has infected my entire family like a virus. It’s unbelievable. All the things that she’s done to jack, she’s also managed to turn my brother into a sucker. Were you aware that she’s working at a division in jabot? Did you know that? And not just that, but she’s at my house constantly, so there’s no escaping her. Diane is everywhere, and every day I wake up in a new, fresh diane hell. There’s diane again! There’s diane again!

[ Sighs ]

Tucker: Yes. I’m sorry.

[ Laughs ] I… I’m sorry that you’re so upset. But I just have to tell you, for me, this is heavenly.

One role of a lifetime…

one sore throat.

Diane: I feel terrible about this rift I’ve caused between you and ashley.

Jack: No, no.

Diane: It’s totally my fault.

Jack: I’m not gonna have you blaming yourself. Ashley is being unreasonable, and I’m not gonna stand for it.

Diane: Well, thank you for defending me.

Jack: I am just stating the facts. However, she did manage to interrupt our conversation.

Diane: Yeah.

Jack: And maybe it is better we drop the subject of stark for the time being. I don’t want anybody walking in and overhearing us. And, besides, it’s getting kind of late.

Diane: Yeah, that’s probably for the best, and, um, I should be going. But before I do, um, there’s something else I’d like to discuss if you have a minute.

Jack: Sure. What’s on your mind?

Diane: I think we should talk about the desire I have to kiss you again.

Lily: Sorry. Who do you think is a traitor?

Devon: Well, earlier today i was tipped off that our lovely audra here has been in direct contact with tucker, in the past and recently.

Lily: Wait. How do you know this?

Devon: My first clue was that they both have the exact same text tone for each other.

Audra: Tons of people have alerts on their phone for calls from certain people.

Devon: Right, yeah, but yours is pretty distinctive. And it concerned me enough to wonder, why is the person who is spearheading our ipo contacting my dad, the person who i originally thought was going after the company? So, I had someone look into it, and it turns out that audra’s business degree was pretty damn expensive and she racked up quite a bit of debt.

Audra: Like most grad students do.

Devon: Yeah.

Audra: Mbas are not cheap, and i was not born into money.

Devon: Well, you must have been just thrilled when all of your debt was paid off in one lump sum by an llc.

Audra: It was paid by a company I worked for, as a bonus.

Devon: Mm.

Audra: As far as I’m concerned, I earned that money.

Devon: I’m sure you did. The company had a really unique name. Do you remember it?

Audra: No, I don’t remember.

Devon: You don’t? The company that paid for your future? It was called only eyes for you.

Audra: Okay. I —

Devon: Well, that just so happens to be the name of the very first song that tucker ever produced.

Audra: Hmm. I had no idea.

Devon: And the fact that the name of the company and the name of the song are exactly the same is just a little too much of a coincidence not to mean something, and that something is pretty damn clear to me. Tucker paid for your student loans, and then both of you showed up in town at the exact same time. So, why don’t you tell us — what should we make of that?

Lily: Have you been working with tucker all along?

Ashley: You find my angst heavenly?

Tucker: [ Laughs ]

Ashley: I hope you don’t mean that the way it sounds. Otherwise, I’m gonna have to put you on my enemy list.

Tucker: Yeah. I got it.

Ashley: Thank you.

Tucker: No, like I said, I’m sorry you’re so upset, but this is the ashley that I remember so well — calm, cool, and collected one moment and then wild and fiery the next.

Ashley: Huh. Well, um, I’m glad that you find my torment humorous.

Tucker: No, don’t get me wrong. I’m — I’m sympathizing with you. You’re in an untenable situation with jack and diane. But, uh, this situation has seemed to awaken something in you that I love — your spark.

Ashley: Mm. It’s more than just a spark, though. It’s more like a wildfire.

Tucker: Mm. Of anger or excitement?

Ashley: Little bit of both.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. Yeah. And you know what else I love? You come here and you feel comfortable with me, you let your guard down and you allow yourself to be real and messy and complicated. There’s nothing sexier to me.

Ashley: Really?

Tucker: Mnh-mnh.

[ Glass thuds ]

Ashley: What are you gonna do about it?

[ Glass thuds ]

Tucker: That depends on you. Somedays, you just need it.

Ashley: [ Laughs ]

Tucker: Ah, there it is.

Ashley: Hmm?

Tucker: That was fire. That’s what I remember and missed so much. Don’t tell me you don’T.

Ashley: That would be showing my hand.

Tucker: Ah, I think you already did.

Ashley: Mm, don’t be so sure.

Tucker: You see it, though, right? That together we’re stronger than whatever kept us apart.

Ashley: I love this. I hate this.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ]

Ashley: I hate that I love this.

Tucker: But you love it the most, right?

Ashley: You do realize that this is just a smaller part of a bigger picture. There’s no evidence that we actually work.

Tucker: Well, maybe we should continue to test my hypothesis.

Ashley: Do you understand that I’m an actual scientist? And you can’t talk me into anything by misusing, you know, scientific terminology. It won’t work with me.

Tucker: Are you saying you’re smarter than me?

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: Congratulations.

Ashley: And I’m too smart to fall for you again.

Tucker: [ Laughing ] Oh, really?

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: And yet here you are. What do you know? So I guess being with me is a smart choice.

Ashley: Mm. Um, you know, what happened here isn’t an indication of where our relationship is headed, though.

Tucker: Oh, god. Okay. I should have just kept my mouth shut…

Ashley: Sorry.

Tucker: …And enjoyed the moment.

[ Clears throat ] I’ll leave you, uh, a little space and go take a shower. You’ll be here when I’m done?

Ashley: Do you mind? I’m kind of enjoying the fact that diane’s not here. She’s not here, is she?

[ Both laugh ]

Tucker: Probably is. No, I’m enjoying it, too. Not that I’m reveling in your misery for my benefit.

Ashley: That’s okay. I’ll allow it this one time.

Tucker: And you can stay as long as you want. You know, I can clear some space in the closet. Right. [ Clicks tongue ] Don’t push it.

Ashley: Mnh-mnh.

Tucker: Hey —

Ashley: Wow!

Tucker: What?

Ashley: You are capable of listening. That’s — that’s good to know about you.

Tucker: Order some room service, some late-night snacks?

Ashley: Okay.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] I can’t believe I’m telling you this.

Phyllis: [ Clears throat ]

Daniel: Summer does blame diane, alright? She hates the danger that she’s brought into all with our lives. She doesn’t trust her. She doesn’t think it’s fair that everyone’s trying to protect her and that you’re being vilified. Look, her eyes are very much open to diane’s manipulations.

Phyllis: Then why is she making the choices she’s making?

Daniel: Because she feels this immense pressure to make nice with kyle.

Phyllis: Uh, if this is true and she told you this, well, why is she making these choices? I mean, why doesn’t she have my back? Why is she not sticking up for me?

Daniel: I think it’s just a case where you need to get out of your own head. You need to try and see this from summer’s point of view. I mean, she’s stuck between her husband and her mother. She feels like she has to be civil to diane, you know, for harrison’s sake. But she needs you. She needs your support right now. So just — I don’t know — give her a break already. Be the bigger person before whatever this is between the two of you spirals even further.

Audra: Yes, I do know tucker from my time in london, okay? But that has nothing to do with the work I’ve done at chancellor-winters.

Devon: Mm. Can you prove that at all?

Audra: I have prepared the company well for the ipo. And jill still wants to move forward with it, so it makes no sense to let the fact that i have ties to tucker disrupt the momentum. If we pause, it will get around, make us look unstable. Do we really want another embarrassing disruption so close to the announcement? Tucker poses no threat to you. Neither do I.

Lily: Why would we believe anything that you say?

[ Scoffs ] Oh, my god. I can’t deal with this right now. You’re fired. You’re fired! Have security escort her out of the building.

Audra: I’ll go… if you feel the same way.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Ashley: Ashley abbott beauty incorporated?

[ Folders rustling ] Jabot. Bingo. Jabot comps, evaluations. All the reports. He was targeting us. He was definitely —

Tucker: I doubt there’s anything in there you don’t already know. Who says you can’t go for bold

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Not flossing well?

Devon: So, you want to make your case for staying on board? Be my guest.

Audra: I can still be an asset to you.

Devon: Mm. How?

Audra: I know some things about tucker’s business and his goals, especially regarding you.

Devon: What kind of goals does my father have for me?

Audra: Let’s just say you weren’t wrong to think that he came in town with an interest in chancellor-winters.

Devon: Well, I mean, hell, i figured that out myself. Is this your plan? To betray his trust to win me over? ‘Cause how would I ever know what side you’re on?

Audra: It would be stupid for me to try and play both sides at this point.

Devon: Right. So, I’m just supposed to trust you then?

Audra: You don’t have to trust me. If I continue to work here, i assume I would have eyes on me at all times.

Devon: Yeah, you assume right. So, what’s your point?

Audra: That I already know a lot about this company. And I’m the kind of person you want on your side rather than your competition.

Devon: Really? So, you’re threatening me now? Well, let me remind you that you signed an nda when you started working here. So if you say anything to anyone about this company, you will be in court by the end of the day, with a lawsuit that will drag out for a very long time. And you’ll probably have to ask my dad for some more money.

Audra: I’m getting the sense this is the end of our working relationship.

Devon: I’m getting that sense, too. How about you get your things and you leave this building quietly so I don’t have to call security? Your services are no longer needed.

Audra: It’s your loss. You know, but I will say this. You’re not a very good judge of character, are you? You keep letting foxes into the henhouse — you know, your cousin, your father, and now me? You’ve been played a lot. Hmm. It makes me wonder how you’ve made it as far as you have.

Jack: You’re uncomfortable with things getting physical between us and you — you want it to stop?

Diane: No. No, not at all.

Jack: Then what did you want to discuss?

Diane: [ Sighs ] I want you to know that my feelings for you aren’t a holdover from the past or gratitude because of how wonderful you’ve been to me since I’ve come back to town. What I’m feeling is — is different. And I’m different. And for the first time in my life, I — I feel something that’s based on real friendship and not because I believe I need a man to take care of me.

Jack: That’s all good to know. But why are you telling me this now?

Diane: Because I’m just worried that it’s another problem with our plan. I mean, how can I even pretend to tolerate stark when I care so much about you?

Phyllis: Daniel, of course i want to be there for summer. Are you kidding me? Of course. I’m just trying to protect her. That’s all I’ve been trying to do. I just don’t understand why she told you this information instead of me.

Daniel: Well, it doesn’t matter. Now you know. And you cannot tell her that i told you any of this. I’m serious. You cannot tell her. And I know this is gonna be hard for you, but be subtle. Maybe apologize. Tell her that you were wrong to judge her so harshly and — i don’t know — let her know that you see, like, what a tough spot that she was put in. Just empathize with her.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Ah. Interesting. Who’s distracted now?

Daniel: Um…I don’t know what you mean.

[ Clears throat ]

Phyllis: Don’t you?

Daniel: Mnh-mnh.

Phyllis: Huh. Uh, okay. Well, hey, listen. Thank you for telling me that. I’m gonna go find summer and talk to her.

Daniel: Good.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Daniel: Hey, I’m serious. No ratting me out.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Hey. Are you alright?

Lily: Hey. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. No, I’m fine. I just, um, found out about another work crisis that I did not see coming.

Daniel: It’s not something that’s gonna affect omega sphere, is it?

Ashley: So, why do you have jabot’s financials?

Tucker: Uh [Clears throat] It was exploratory. It was a way of making a connection with you before i decided to move back to town. You know I told you I asked diane to get her hands on them for me.

Ashley: Those came from her?

Tucker: Mm. But I, uh — I changed my mind about going after jabot since spending some time with you. I want our connection to be untainted. But, uh, that information did help me devise the alternate idea for the two of us. Do you see what you’re capable of? You have such sway over me. You have completely altered my agenda.

Ashley: Right.

Tucker: Hey. Do you not — hey, look at me. After what just happened, are you gonna tell me you don’t feel the power between us? I mean, you can goad me and play hard to get all you like. I know you know what’s happening between us is real.

[ Pounding on door ]

Devon: Tucker, open the door. Having diabetes can raise a lot of questions.

Lily: No, no, no, no. There is nothing for you to worry about. We are all behind omega sphere.

Daniel: Um, look, I don’t mean to make this all about me.

Lily: No.

Daniel: Do you want to talk about whatever the problem is?

Lily: I don’t, um — I don’t really want to talk about it.

Daniel: Okay. Sure. Um, probably want to get home and get some rest, right?

Lily: Well, I probably should do that, but I feel like if I go home, I’m just gonna… you know what? Why don’t we just sit here and talk about things that don’t matter?

[ Chuckles ]

Daniel: I’m in.

Lily: Okay. [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Are you sure you’re not using stark as an excuse to maybe find out what’s going on between us?

Diane: I promise you that wasn’t my intention. But maybe you’re right. Maybe we should talk about it. I mean, given the stakes of what we’re dealing with, it might be a good idea for us to clarify how we’re feeling — or, actually, for you to tell me how you feel because I’ve already told you how I feel.

Jack: Okay, stop, stop. Stop talking. I care a lot about you. Of course I do. You have to know that.

Nate: Audra. Hey.

Audra: What a lovely surprise. Um, and perfect timing.

[ Clears throat ] I’m here to celebrate. Would you like to join me?

Nate: Of course. Who am I to turn down an offer like that? And I’d love to hear this good news.

Audra: Ah, then it calls for a toast.

Nate: Okay. Excuse me. What are you having?

Audra: A vodka tonic.

Nate: And another scotch. On my tab, please. So, what are we celebrating?

Audra: Um, I’ve moved on from chancellor-winters.

Nate: Really? How’s that possible? They haven’t gone public yet.

Audra: Yeah, everything is in order, and they don’t need me for what comes next. So it’s off to my next adventure.

Nate: Ah. Does that mean you’re leaving genoa city?

Audra: Yeah. I mean, that’s the plan. I’m the kind of person that needs a challenge to keep me engaged.

Nate: I get it. I’m the same way. You know, if you’d ever consider sticking around, I might have just the opportunity for someone like you.

Audra: Really? I’m intrigued.

Tucker: Hey. What’s going on? You okay?

Ashley: Hi.

Tucker: Hi, ashley. I apologize for this.

[ Door closes ] It’s over, tucker.

Tucker: What’s over?

Devon: You and me, whatever relationship you think we have. It’s done. I know about your collusion with audra, and I know that you’re using her to try and scoop up controlling interest of the company after we take it public.

Tucker: If that were the case, why would I encourage you to trust your instincts that the ipo was a bad idea?

Devon: I don’t know. Maybe you were trying to throw me off track. I bet it was tough for you not to laugh, though, every time i talked about nate betraying us since he and victoria were just doing you a favor by distracting us and opening up a clear path for you and audra to screw over chancellor-winters.

Tucker: I don’t know what went down between you and audra.

Devon: You don’t know? You haven’t talked to her today yet? You should check your messages ’cause she’s been fired, meaning she no longer has access to anything chancellor-winters, which means that you no longer have access to it — or to me or to my son.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Whatever you think is going on here, you’re wrong about it.

Devon: Mm.

Tucker: Because I’ve never had any ill intentions towards you or your company. My only interest in your business is helping you.

Devon: Is that right?

Tucker: Yeah. And supporting you.

Devon: Okay. If that were the truth, then why did you come to town claiming that you wanted to connect with me and your grandson when you were really just using that relationship so you can stick a damn plant in my company to try and take it over? In my family’s company, the only real family I’ve ever had in my life, half thanks to you ’cause you never been there for me. And you obviously never will be.

Tucker: Uh…devon, let me explain something to you.

Devon: I don’t want to hear anything you have to say to me because I’m not gonna believe a word of it. Your talk is B.S. It’s B.S. On top of B.S. I don’t even know how you keep it all together in your head. And I really don’t know how I or anyone else believed your story about discovering yourself and the meaning of life ’cause the only meaning you ever find in anything is your own self-interest and greed. Because you will clearly — you’ll sacrifice your family to get your hands on the next shiny thing that you want.

Tucker: Hey, you are misunderstanding the circumstances, and you’re getting dangerously close to crossing the line with me.

Devon: And what the hell is that supposed to mean? There’s a line now that I’m getting close to crossing? You know something, tucker? You should leave genoa city tonight ’cause I’m gonna make it my mission to make for sure there’s no one left in this town who will ever defend you for the rest of your life.

[ Door slams ] If you have copd, ask your doctor about breztri.

Tucker: I’m sorry you had to hear that. You have to know that what he was accusing me of is just not true.

Ashley: Yeah, well, you know, I never trusted you anyway, so you couldn’t really sink any lower in my book.

Tucker: What are you talking about?

Ashley: Oh, well, all this — you know, all of this was just, um… you know, it was just an act so that I could get to the truth, you know? And because I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time…

Tucker: Okay —

Ashley: …Mission accomplished, you know? So…

Tucker: Hold on.

Ashley: Bye, tucker.

Tucker: Wait a minute, ashley.

[ Door slams ]

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s my cue to go to my hotel…alone.

Jack: I wasn’t suggesting otherwise.

Diane: That’s too bad.

Jack: I could, uh, give you a ride maybe.

Diane: Oh, no, I’m — I’m fine. I have my car.

Jack: Hey, I know we’re facing some serious challenges here. We’ll handle this together.

Audra: So, what kind of opportunity are you proposing?

Nate: I’m looking for a coo for newman media.

Audra: Hmm. Interesting.

Nate: If you really think so, you should throw your hat in the ring. I can’t promise you anything, but I believe you’d be a great candidate for this position.

Audra: I don’t disagree.

Nate: It would dovetail with your skill set while offering you a change from what you’ve been doing. And if it all works out, we’ll have plenty more to drink to.

Audra: Who am I to say no to that?

[ Laughs ]

Nate: Yeah?

Audra: Consider my hat tossed.

Tucker: [ Groans ] You look how I feel.

Phyllis: How do I look? How do you feel?

Tucker: So, you ready yet?

Phyllis: For what?

Tucker: Burn it all down.

Taylor: Yeah, well today is the big day, we’re finally going to be rid of sheila forever. What time are you meeting with the judge?

Steffy: Um, ah, it’s later than we thought. We’re going to leave right after you.

Taylor: Okay, I’ll get out of here. But don’t forget what baker said. Your testimony’s are going to be crucial in sheila being put away forever. You know, I am so proud of you. I’m so proud of both of you. I know this isn’t easy. I know, but it’s necessary. Justice will be served and sheila will be locked up where she belongs.

Bill: So, we’re all set then? Good.

Sheila: I’m confused though, my attorney didn’t say anything about a meeting before the hearing today. Why does he want to see me?

Guard 1: It’s not your attorney who wants an audience with your majesty.

[ Buzzing ]Th

Deacon: I would’ve been here sooner but I just got back from out of town. We can talk about that later.

Guards 1: Sit. Now, you both know the rules. No touching or it’s back to your cell.

[ Buzzing ]

Deacon: God, I hate to see you in here, back behind bars, handcuffed. Sheila, I’m so sorry.

Sheila: You don’t need to be sorry. And this had nothing to do with you.

Deacon: Yeah, I know, but it’s like all the times that I told you that this is where you’d wind up, that it was only a matter of time. I got to admit, there was a– there was a little part of me that was betting that you were going to beat the odds.

Sheila: Maybe I have.

Deacon: Sweetheart, take a look around. This place is locked up tighter than fort knox. Houdini, on his best day, couldn’t escape.

Sheila: Yeah, I’m aware.

Deacon: So what? That means that you’ve just accepted the fact that you’re going to be in prison for a long time?

Taylor: Hey there, did you miss me?

Brooke: Taylor, you’re back.

Taylor: I just got in last night. How are you?

Brooke: Happy to see you.

Taylor: Happy to see you, too. Uh, a lot has changed since I’ve been gone.

Brooke: Oh, yes. If you’re talking about sheila.

Taylor: Yeah, I was– I was so happy when steffy called me and told me about sheila’s arrest.

Brooke: I feel the same.

Taylor: You know, I– I wasn’t sure that this day would ever come, ever. But here we are. Today is the day. Sheila is in custody, and she’s finally going to pay for all the terrible things she’s done.

Sheila: I want to thank you for coming to see me. I know this isn’t your favorite place to be.

Deacon: Yeah well, that’s true. I’ve been thinking about you a lot, you know, since you were arrested. By the way, thanks for not ratting me out.

Sheila: After everything you did for me, I really, I– I’m never going to be able to repay you.

Deacon: You already have by not saying anything. So, how they treating you in here?

Sheila: Like royalty.

Deacon: It’s good to see you haven’t lost your sense of humor. But I’m worried about you.

Sheila: That’s sweet. I’m gonna be okay.

Deacon: Still hoping for a miracle, huh?

Sheila: Yeah, well, you never know.

Deacon: Wow, you know, I expected to come here and find you down in the dumps, and you’re not. Unless this is all an act for my benefit.

Sheila: No. No, it’s not an act.

Deacon: Okay, then I’d like to ask you a question. What the hell were you doing going to spencer’s house that night? You knew the minute that he saw you, he’d call the cops.

Finn: You okay?

Steffy: Are you?

Finn: Well, neither one of us got much sleep last night.

Steffy: For good reason. If we don’t go along with bill, my mom goes to jail. And if we do, sheila’s free. It’s– it’s unthinkable.

Finn: I just still will never understand. Like, how did sheila get to bill in this way?

Steffy: I don’t know. And I honestly, I don’t care if– if bill feels abandoned and hurt. To allow someone like sheila carter into his life. I mean, you heard my mom, she is so excited about her future. My god, all this could be taken away if we agree to testify against sheila today.

Without the right start

to your day…

Taylor: I mean, of all the possible scenarios, bill was the one that apprehended sheila.

Brooke: I know, but then bill does love playing the hero.

[ Laughing ]

Taylor: Well, you know, he wasn’t really playing this time because sheila showed up at his house and he immediately turned her in. In my book, that’s a real hero.

Brooke: Mine, too.

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: You know, katie went over to see him and to tell him how grateful we all are for what he did.

Taylor: Oh, that’s sweet. I’m sure he appreciated that.

Brooke: Yeah, you’d think so.

Taylor: But he didn’t?

Brooke: Katie said he seemed genuinely surprised that she was there to thank him. Almost like he’s an afterthought. Like, we really don’t care about him. Which is not true.

Taylor: Oh, of course not. I’m sorry about that, I– I’m not close with bill spencer, you know, given our complicated history and all. But, you know, I hope whatever it is, I hope it works out. You know, it’s because of bill that– that sheila’s going to be out of our lives, especially after steffy and finn talk to the judge today.

Steffy: It’s my dad. He wants to be there with us today.

Finn: What did you tell him?

Steffy: Not to come. He’s been traveling, doing some soul searching, especially after what happened with my mom and brooke. Besides, he should not be here. Bill hates my dad, and if he is here it’s just going to incite bill to–

Finn: No, that’s– that’s the last thing we need.

Steffy: Yeah, exactly.

Finn: Do you think he’s just going to do as you ask?

Steffy: You know my dad. He supports his family, but since he thinks he already knows what we’re going to say, he’s not pushing to be here.

Finn: Well, do we know what we’re going to say? Because I’ve got to tell you, steffy, as much as I love you and your mother, the thought of caving to spencer, not testifying to make sure sheila remains behind bars. That’s what I’m struggling with here.

Steffy: I know, I am so sorry I put you in this position.

Finn: No, they… you didn’t put me in this position. Spencer did. He can call it whatever he wants, but it’s still blackmail and blackmailing my wife, threatening to throw her mother in jail. That’s– I don’t know how I’ll ever look like that guy without total contempt, no matter what we say today.

Steffy: I know and we should, uh, we should get going. I know this is wishful thinking, but there’s still some time for bill to come to his senses and realize what he’s doing is wrong. No one deserves to get justice served more than sheila carter.

Deacon: Seriously, what were you thinking? Hightailing it to bill spencer’s place, asking him for help? I mean, did you honestly think there was a snowball’s chance in hell that that would even happen? All right, look, it doesn’t matter. All right, what’s done is done. What matters is– is what happens going forward, right? I hear you’re going to see the judge later today.

Sheila: Yes.

Deacon: You gotta to be dreading that. Oh, come on sheila, you don’t have to put on a brave face for me. Finn and steffy, they’re going to make you out to be hannibal lecter’s spawn. They are going to detail every horrible thing that you did to their families. I just want you to know that you’re not alone. I’m not going to abandon you, even if everyone else has. I mean, there’s not much that I can do with you in here. Come visit you, you know. I’ll keep you up on what’s going on in the outside, and we’ll have to do it on the down low, but… I know that you said that– that this isn’t over. That the best was yet to come. But, I’m afraid this is the end of the line. Postmenopausal women with hr+ her2-

Sheila: I can see and hear your concern. And it’s– it’s sweet. But it’s like I said before, deacon. Everyone has always underestimated me.

Deacon: Yeah, including yours truly, at first. But sheila, I mean, you’re back behind bars. You’re going to be seeing the judge in a few. And look… I don’t wanna– I don’t want to make things more difficult. Okay, that’s not why I came.

Sheila: But then, why– why don’t you tell me. Why did you come?

Deacon: I had to see you. I had to tell you that I– I really enjoyed our time together. And I care about you.

Sheila: I care about you, too. Who knows, I mean, if– if things had been different. Maybe we would’ve had a chance.

Guard 1: Okay, you two, got to wrap it up.

Deacon: Listen, despite this brave facade, I know you’ve got to be scared. I know because I’ve been where you are. I’ve been locked up. I’ve been away from the people that I love, I know. Look, I’m gonna come visit you so you don’t feel so alone. Sheila, I’m never gonna turn my back on you, I promise.

Guard 1: Rise.

[ Buzzing ]

Sheila: Bye.

Deacon: Bye.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Finn: Look, the judge is on his way. What are we gonna do?

Steffy: I know what I want to do. I want sheila in jail for the rest of her life. But how can I make this happen? How can I risk my mother’s freedom? My god, if she knew what bill was doing right now…

Finn: By blackmailing us?

Steffy: My mom would sacrifice herself. She would go straight to the police. She would confess what she did to bill all those years ago. Bill, what are you doing here?

Bill: Hoping to put this behind us. Remind you of our deal.

Finn: Yeah, that’s all we’ve been thinking about for days.

Steffy: We hate that you’re putting us in this position.

Bill: Please keep your voices down and watch what you’re saying.

Finn: Look, even if steffy and I do what you want. What about my mother? Sheila terrorized her, ran her off the road, tried to kill her. She can just come forward–

Bill: Lee is going to have to be kept quiet. Now let’s not forget that she did sneak you out of a hospital and falsify medical records. That could have a negative impact on her career, not to mention jeopardizing her freedom.

Finn: So now you’re threatening my mother, too.

Steffy: Have you forgotten that sheila escaped prison? One way or the other she’s going to do the time.

Bill: All I’m telling you is I don’t want to hear a word out of you and finn today.

Steffy: You think you can handle this? This is impossible.

Bill: We should leave before the judge gets here. Remember, sheila’s freedom for your mother’s freedom. Do you like…

Taylor: I– I wish today was open to the public.

Brooke: I know.

Taylor: You know, I just– I just want to see sheila’s face. I want to see her face when they haul her away.

Brooke: Me, too. When I think of the immense heartache and suffering that she’s brought to all of our families, the fear, the fear that we’ve had to live with. I mean, I’m surprised we survived it all.

Taylor: Yeah, you know, I’ve– I’ve seen a lot of patients with varying degrees of challenges through my career, but, you know, I’ve treated them all successfully. Some who are even labeled untreatable. But sheila carter is– she actually is untreatable because she doesn’t think she needs to be treated. She doesn’t think anything’s wrong with her. I’m just really glad that she’s going to be locked away for the rest of her life, you know. Maybe she’ll get some help there. Just feels good to know that she’ll be– she’ll be put away securely, away from all of us. All thanks to steffy and finn.

Finn: Look, it’s almost time. We have to decide what we’re going to do.

Steffy: You heard bill. He’s not budging. Either we do what he wants, or… oh, my god, the man has lost it. He wants us to do unthinkable things. I mean, my mom made one mistake and she regrets it. But it pales in comparison to all the evil things sheila has done.

Sheila: Hello finn. Hello, steffy. Not even a hi?

Counsellor: Miss carter, I would advise you to keep your comments to yourself.

Sheila: We were asked to review my case before trial. I just hope you do what’s best for everyone, you both know why.

Judge: Sorry to keep everyone waiting. I apologize. Please be seated. I’m judge mcmillan. As I’m sure you’re all aware that we’re here today in this closed session to gather testimony and information regarding the case pertaining to a miss sheila carter. Does the counselor have any opening remarks?

Counsellor: No, your honor.

Judge: Very well, then. Um… thank you for being here today, dr. Finnegan. Ms. Forrester. Your testimony, along with your statements today will prove very crucial in this case. I’d like to begin with you, dr. Finnegan. From what I understand, ms. Carter, is your biological mother, a fact that you were unaware of until a year or so ago. Is that correct?

Finn: Uh, yes.

Judge: All right. Let’s get started doctor. Are you ready to proceed with the case regarding miss sheila carter?

Billy: It’s chilly.

Lily: Yeah. Yeah. Looks like it might snow.

Billy: Do you want to get to something to eat?

Lily: Um… I’m not really hungry.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Maybe we’ll just start with a drink, huh? What do you think?

Lily: That was really hard.

Billy: Yeah. Yeah, I did not expect our first therapy session to be that bad.

Lily: I think maybe going out tonight was a mistake.

Billy: It’s just dinner.

Lily: Yeah, well, we can’t just sit here and pretend like we didn’t have our first therapy session and it was brutal.

[ Knock on door ]

Nick: Sally? It’s me. You okay?

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, I’ll be right there.

Nick: There you are. Glad you answered. Thought maybe you were ghosting me. I just couldn’t figure out why. That harri

Summer: I’m happy to report that harrison has settled in with a movie. Even though he has seen it a million times, it still somehow captivates him.

Kyle: Glad he’s content, because I’m not, after that bomb dropped on me at the office.

Summer: Look, I know that my timing wasn’t great. I totally forgot that you had that big meeting scheduled. I didn’t realize that you’d have to go before we could finish our conversation.

Kyle: Well, meeting’s over now, so we can pick back up right where we left off. Let’s talk about this plan of yours. Do you really want to take our son out of the country?

Sharon: Hey, jack. Jack, hello?

Jack: Oh, I’m sorry. I’m just distracted. I’m sorry.

Sharon: Oh, well, I hope everything’s okay. Do you need anything?

Jack: No. You know what? It’s nothing worth getting into. I just… I’m worried about a friend.

Sharon: Okay, well, you looked a little upset, and, by the look on your face, I can tell it’s about somebody very close to you.

Jeremy: Diane, you look lovely. Reminds me how chic you used to look every time we used to go out.

Diane: Charming as ever. You always knew just what to say to make me feel beautiful.

Jeremy: Just stating the obvious. Sit.

Diane: Oh, and thoughtful, too. I see you’ve already ordered my favorite champagne.

Jeremy: Only the best for you.

Diane: Well, I’m hoping this means we have something to celebrate.

Jeremy: Let’s see where the evening takes us.

Diane: I was just about to say the same thing. The abcs of ckd

Chance: Hey.

Sharon: Oh, hey.

Chance: What’s going on?

Sharon: Well, you caught me. I was hoping if I stared at my phone long enough, I could will it to ring.

Chance: Well, I gather that hasn’t worked yet.

Sharon: Not yet. Mariah and tessa are meeting with the birth mother of a baby they’re hoping to adopt, and I’m just dying to know how it’s going.

Chance: Wow, that’s huge that they’re this far in the process.

Sharon: Yeah, it’s really exciting. But I’m trying to stay cautious and not get my hopes up too much. I realize that a lot of different things could happen that would change the outcome, but if it’s meant to be, is meant to be, right?

Chance: I’ve been telling myself that a lot lately.

Sharon: How about you? How are you doing?

Chance: Oh, you know how it is. Crime doesn’t sleep. Wrap up a case, and another one rears its ugly head.

Sharon: Well, I wasn’t talking about your work. I was talking about you.

Summer: You said that like you think that I plan on permanently leaving the country, moving back to milan with harrison. No, I’m just talking about a short trip to the textile show in paris.

Kyle: No, it’s pretty obvious this is more than just a business jaunt. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be planning on taking harrison.

Summer: Yeah, with everything going on, I’d like for our son to be far away from any potential danger.

Kyle: Hey, hey, I know you don’t love the way my mother’s chaos with stark has taken over our lives, but I hope you realize everything we’re doing right now is necessary given the circumstances.

Summer: No, kyle, I really don’T. It seems like, every day, things are just spinning further and further out of control, and we’re getting dug in deeper. A new plot, a new plan. What’s next?

Jeremy: I am certainly impressed that you chose this spot to meet. It reminds me of that club in ibiza.

Diane: I remember it well. I think I had more than the usual amount of cash hidden in my luggage for that trip.

Jeremy: I was fond of that very profitable excursion. I mean, the dance music, the 24-hour party scene.

Diane: It was wild.

Jeremy: But if I were to accept your proposition, reuniting and using our particular skill set, we couldn’t go back to our old method of doing business together, and certainly not through our favorite party spots. And the feds would be on us the minute we stepped on a private plane headed out of the country.

Diane: Well, you’re probably right, but between the two of us, we’re pretty clever. I’m sure we could put our heads together and come up with the perfect plan.

Jeremy: We do make a terrific team. Maybe we could travel separately. Then you can go alone and make the transactions. Since you don’t have any parole officers tracking you.

Diane: Or maybe we don’t have to leave the country at all. That would certainly eliminate some of the risks for you. I mean, there are plenty of opportunities right here in genoa city.

Jeremy: Mm. I like the way you’re thinking.

Diane: Good. So if we’re going to stay here, we need to decide on a new target. I have a few ideas of my own.

Jeremy: As do I. Take this spot. This would be the perfect money-laundering venue. And then we wouldn’t raise suspicions of us leaving the country. I could definitely see myself having a piece of this place. Huh.

Sally: Believe me, ghosting you is the last thing on my mind.

Nick: What’s that?

Sally: What?

Nick: What you just threw away.

Sally: Oh, those are just drafts of the pitch that chloe and I are working on for jill and chancellor-winters.

Nick: Why don’t you let me take a look at it. I know jill very well. I might be able to give you some insight on how to win her over.

Sally: Uh, no, no. Really, the drafts are not worth looking at, but I might take you up on your offer once we figure everything out. Did you really think that I was trying to blow you off?

Nick: Nah, I wouldn’t be here if I did. I was just thinking about you. A lot. I was just wondering how you’re doing. I’m hoping the stomach bug didn’t come back to bite you. Are you still feeling better?

Sally: Yeah. Yep, I’m fine.

Nick: You sure? A healthier heartcould

Billy: You know, I got to be honest. I did not expect our first therapy session to go the way that it — that it did.

Lily: Well, how did you think it was going to go?

Billy: I — I don’t know. I guess it was — I just thought it would be a little bit more conversational, you know, like, “how long have you been together?” “Where did you meet?” “Do you have friends in common?” But the guy was just — he was hard and… I mean, he didn’t even chuckle when I tried to lighten the mood with a joke.

Lily: I know. He didn’t even give a polite smile.

[ Sniffles ]

Billy: You know, maybe — maybe we need a new therapist. We can try somebody different.

Lily: Well, did you disagree with anything that he said?

Billy: No. Unfortunately, he was on point.

Lily: Right, so would you want someone to sugarcoat things and lie to us?

Billy: [ Sighs ] No, I think brutally honest is the way to go.

[ Sighs ] I think I’m just trying to process this.

Lily: Yeah. Me, too. I think, though, that a lot of what we talked about, we kind of already knew. You know, we’ve been going in opposite directions for a while now.

Billy: Yeah, some of the questions that he asked and the way that we answered them…

Lily: I know. It’s like we have so little common ground that we were destined to end up like this.

Chance: There are far more interesting things to talk about than me. Trust me.

Sharon: Look, I know you’ve been going through a rough time. I genuinely want to know how you’re doing through all of it.

Chance: Yeah, alright. Um… well, honestly, life’s just kind of weird right now. You know, all of a sudden, I feel like I have to establish new habits. You know, like, even little things that used to get the day started are different. I mean, the — the anticipation of seeing dom in the morning, that used to give me an bed.

Sharon: I understand exactly how you feel. I felt the same way when rey died and my daughter moved out. You know, with faith away at college, I realized how long it’s been since I’ve had dinner alone. Now it’s almost every night.

Chance: That’s exactly what I’m talking about. I mean, it’s little things like that that just hits home a little harder, right? I mean, suddenly I’ll look up and it’s late, and I haven’t eaten because dinner’s just about food now. Used to be about family time, you know, talking over our days, going over dom’s latest achievements, getting him fed before bedtime.

Sharon: Yeah, the joys of family, right? Hey, I have an idea.

Summer: Let’s face it, there’s no guarantee that this is going to get rid of stark. Bribes and threats were not enough to send him packing. Your mom’s fake disappearance didn’t fool him into walking away. So what makes you so sure that this is going to be the end?

Kyle: Because she knows him very well. She knows how to handle him.

Summer: And what happens when stark figures out that diane is setting him up to take the fall? What happens when he feels trapped or provoked? Kyle, this is serious.

Kyle: She is risking her own safety for all of us.

Summer: It’s not just her own safety she’s risking.

Kyle: Just believe me, summer. I would never, ever let danger come anywhere close to you or harrison. I hope you know me better than that.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Diane: You need to look elsewhere for a base of operations. This club would not be a good fit.

Jeremy: [ Scoffs ] Whatever happened to living life on the edge? Huh? Thought you missed it. Don’t tell me you’re getting cold feet before I even agree to join forces with you.

Diane: No, no, I’m just — I’m just looking out for you. This club is owned by noah newman, as in victor newman’s grandson. And the space is leased from the owners of the grand phoenix, chancellor-winters, which is owned by two more power families in this town. Just trust me. Trust me, you don’t want to cross them.

Jeremy: Sounds like you’re making excuses.

Diane: [ Sighs ] No, but as your former and hopefully soon-to-be accomplice, you need to listen to me. I know this town and the people in it better than most. And I remember that you like stirring up all kinds of trouble, but this is one headache you don’t need.

Jeremy: Okay. I’ll take your lead on this one.

Diane: I will say, I am encouraged by your current train of thought. You know, it sounds like you’re coming up with a new way to do your business, making plans, and hopefully accepting my offer. It would be nice to officially be on the same side with you.

Jeremy: Not so fast. You still have to pass my loyalty test. Only daisy cottage cheese will do

Sally: Yeah, my stomach issues must’ve just been something that I ate ’cause i am back in full fighting mode now, and if I seem a little off at all, it must just be this proposal that I’m struggling with.

Nick: Okay, well, I won’t be pushy and try to help again, but may I offer an alternate suggestion?

Sally: Like what?

Nick: When I’m at work and I hit a roadblock, I think the best thing I can do is actually take a break, go outside, clear my head. Then when I get right back to it, all the ideas just start flowing, and it may work for you. So what do you say we go get some dinner?

Sally: Well, I am starving, but, I don’t know, I feel like if I keep working, I can figure out this pitch.

Nick: Okay. How about some takeout, then?

Sally: I would like that very much.

Nick: I’ll be back.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Kyle: Just tell me what I can do to help you feel more comfortable.

Summer: I don’t think that there’s anything that will help except for leaving. It just feels like it’s one conflict after another, and there’s no end in sight. I just — I need some relief. For me and for harrison.

Kyle: We have all taken pains to make sure harrison has no idea what’s going on.

Summer: I know that nobody’s told him about the impending danger, but he’s smart. He can tell that there’s been a change in our attitudes, that we’re on guard all the time.

Kyle: And a sudden trip to france won’t seem odd to him?

Summer: Look, I will do everything to put him at ease. I’m going to make this seem like a fun, new adventure. He’s just in preschool. He can miss a few days. It’s not a big deal. And you know what? I’ll bring the nanny along. It’ll help to make things seem more normal. I promise you, I will stay on top of business, and maybe I’ll even get more done without being constantly distracted by all of this craziness.

[ Sighs ]

Kyle: All good points. I hear you. I really do. And, to be honest, I’m scared, too.

Summer: Then come with us. Me, you, and harrison. Let’s go to paris, the three of us.

Kyle: I can’t leave my mom. Not now. And my fear is different than yours. It’s not about any potential danger to you or harrison. What scares me the most is this situation is starting to come between us, and that’s not something I can bear.

Diane: Why would I turn on you if I’m willing to launder money for you?

Jeremy: Well, the point is, I won’t be played for a sucker, especially from you. I just don’t feel I can trust you…yet.

Diane: Well, I don’t see why not.

Jeremy: Well, you disappeared from me once. Who says you won’t do it again?

Diane: I told you, I ran on impulse, and then I thought about it, and I came back, totally knowing that you would be waiting for me.

Jeremy: I don’t even know where you’re staying now. Are you settled comfortably at the abbott estate?

Diane: No, no, no. Jack has had it with me. I was renting an apartment, but now I’m back at our hotel.

Jeremy: Hm, we’re neighbors.

Diane: Yeah.

Jeremy: Perhaps it’d be more cost-effective if we shared a suite.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Jeremy, we are going to make so much money with our new partnership that you will rebuild your fortune and then some.

Jeremy: Hm. I don’t remember you being quite so confident during our previous alliance.

Diane: Well, that’s because I was constantly living in fear that my true identity would be exposed.

Jeremy: Now you have nothing to hide except for the criminal enterprise you’re preparing to launch.

Diane: Precisely. And as for this test, I really don’t see why I need to at this point. Just so you know, jack told kyle all about the fight that we had in front of you.

Jeremy: You can’t be surprised by that. I mean, you had to know that he was going to make your son fully aware of your latest betrayal.

Diane: Well, now I’ve officially put my relationship with my family on the line for you. They are furious at me for getting back with you.

Jeremy: Yeah, well, I don’t doubt that you’ll be able to win them over again.

Diane: Well, that’s easy for you to say.

Jeremy: Look, I have to look out for myself, given I’m the one with the criminal record that just got out of prison. So I would be the one that would be risking the most if I got back in the game. So any partnership I make with you would definitely require an act of loyalty on your part.

Diane: Alright. I’m up for the challenge. What exactly do you have in mind?

Jeremy: Something outrageous and dangerous, something that would prove that you would go to the limit for me…and then some. (Dog barking) we love our pets.

Diane: I see. You want me to compromise myself, prove that I have some skin in the game.

Jeremy: It’s only fair, no? I’m only looking for a goodwill offering, something that would land you in the same unpleasant place I just came from.

Diane: Ideally not, though.

Jeremy: Of course not. You’d be no use to me locked up.

Diane: Nor you to me.

Jeremy: I know you. I know you can get away with anything. I mean, you got away with your own murder. That conniving survivor is still in you, deep in your soul.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] You know me so well.

Jeremy: You said you wanted to live life on the edge. Well, this is your chance to prove it. And once you do, we’ll see how committed you are. Then we can get back to our activities.

Diane: What do I have to do?

Jeremy: Surprise me.

Billy: Thank you very much.

[ Clears throat ] You know, let’s not sink too far into despair, okay, over the worst-case scenario.

Lily: No, I know, you’re right. I mean, it was only our first session.

Billy: Yeah, it was our first session. Let’s just try and salvage the night, spend some time together, enjoy ourselves, and maybe just share one of these specials.

Lily: Uh, I mean, I’m not hungry, but you can go ahead.

Billy: Maybe we’ll just start with a drink.

Chance: This was a great idea, sharon. The two of us, eating together.

Sharon: Well, it’s not home cooking, but it’ll do.

Chance: Oh, it’s going to do more than that. Trust me.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] I hope you’re right. I have never tried ethiopian food before.

Chance: Oh, well, I am so pumped you let me pick the restaurant. I’m telling you, it’s music for your taste buds. The spices are unforgettable. Besides, just like you said, dinner is about more than just food, right? Not only am I out of the house, but I have some very lovely company to share it with.

Sharon: Aww, I feel the same way. And thanks for encouraging me to try something new. Hopefully, this will be a fun, little adventure.

Chance: Well, I promise you, I will not steer you wrong.

Summer: The last thing I want is for anything to come between us. I have been trying so hard to prevent that.

Kyle: I get it. Things are tense here and at the office, not to mention the added stress with the holidays, but it’s not your fault. You’re being pulled in way too many directions, and one of the strongest pulls is your mother.

Summer: Wait a minute.

Kyle: No, I know that you’re so upset, partly because phyllis is so upset.

Summer: Don’t you dare make this about her. This is about diane’s never-ending chaos.

Jack: Thank god you’re here. I was worried sick about you. I was on my way to the club, despite your telling me not to.

Diane: Well, I appreciate your concern, but I’m glad you didn’t show up. It wouldn’t have helped. It might’ve made jeremy suspicious. Turns out, he still doesn’t completely trust me.

Jack: I don’t like the sound of that. You feel like you’re in any more danger?

Diane: No, no, things actually went okay. His greed and arrogance are overshadowing his doubts, just as I thought, and he is falling right into my trap. But before we spring it on him, we need to do one more thing.

Jack: Oh, what’s that?

Diane: We need to find a crime for me to commit.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Nick: Hope you’re hungry. Got one of everything, including the requisite extra guacamole. What’s that look?

Sally: I just can’t help but marvel in how amazing you are. I mean, you bring me soup and ginger ale when I’m sick and nachos and guacamole when I am hungry.

Nick: You know, they have apps that will do this for you, right?

Sally: Don’t be so modest. You are the perfect man. You’re reassuring and thoughtful and sexy. And no app on earth can do this.

Sharon: The good news is, i made it through all the spices, and I actually really enjoyed my first foray into ethiopian food.

Chance: See? I told you I wouldn’t steer you wrong.

Sharon: Oh, thanks for the tip, though, on that one dish. The heat level in that, it could’ve blown my head off.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: And, um, thanks for taking care of me, too. I guess I owe you one now.

Chance: Oh, that’s not necessary. It’s my treat.

Sharon: Well, I’ve got to pay you back. How about, uh, next week? We could start our own private supper club.

Chance: [ Chuckles ] You don’t have to do that for me. I can, uh — I can handle solo dinners. Trust me, had to do it all the time when I was working undercover. Just got to get used to it again. I’ll be okay.

Sharon: Yeah, I don’t doubt that, but, you know, you’re a friend, and I enjoy talking with you. You know, maybe we can even venture into another new cuisine. How do you feel about peruvian or turkish?

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Sharon: Okay, I — I won’t press the issue. I’ll just leave it up to you.

Chance: Okay. Next week it is.

Kyle: I don’t want to be insensitive, but I have to remind you, phyllis is the one who invited chaos to town.

Summer: I’m really not sure how my mother became solely responsible for diane’s criminal ex-boyfriend. Don’t you think he would’ve eventually tracked her down all on his own?

Kyle: Seriously, summer, are you defending your mother’s actions right now?

Summer: You know what? We need to stop. We just — we can’t keep going over the same ground when nothing changes.

Kyle: Okay. You’re right. This is exactly what I didn’t want to happen.

Summer: Okay, well, then, will you at least just think about harrison and I going to paris? I think it would be good for both of us. Look, if you’re dead set against it, I’ll drop it. Okay? But if not, then, I want to start packing.

Kyle: I love you so much. I just — I hate all of this.

Summer: I hate it, too.

Jack: Stark wants you to commit a crime. Why?

Diane: As a loyalty test. So that he knows that I’m willing to risk jail time for him.

Jack: Oh, I am not crazy about the sound of this.

Diane: Well, neither am I, but I’ve been thinking about it, and I think I can pull this off without risking harm to anyone.

Jack: You are playing with fire, diane.

Diane: All I have to do is get past this hurdle, and then jeremy will be putty in my hands. He will commit a crime, one that we orchestrate, one that will send him right back to prison. Jack, we are so close to having this bastard out of our lives.

Jack: So exactly what crime are you considering?

Diane: Well, I’ve ruled out any kind of violence, obviously.

Jack: Well, thank god for that.

Diane: Yeah, so I think the way to impress and flatter jeremy is if I steal something of considerable value.

Jack: Well, if that’s all it takes, we can open the safe at the house and give him a couple of those things.

Diane: No, no, no. That won’t work.

Jack: Well, couldn’t be easier.

Diane: Of course. That’s why. It’d be too easy, too obvious. Jeremy would see right through it. And if he asks any questions about why I took something from my family and demands to know the details, he’ll suspect a setup, and he will figure out that we’re all in cahoots.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, so who do you intend to rob?

Diane: Well, my victim has to be someone who would never, ever, under any circumstance, help me out. Steal from phyllis? Don’t tempt me. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Lily: Um…

[ Clears throat, sniffles ] I just — I think I need some air.

Billy: I’ll get the bill, then we can walk out.

Lily: Um, I just… I need some time. Is that okay?

Billy: Yeah. Of course. Lily. We’re going to be alright. Okay? We will work on this, continue to go to therapy. We’ll do whatever it takes.

Lily: Billy, let’s just be honest. I mean, this has been going on for months. And we don’t need to keep doing this. Right? I mean… we can’t keep doing this.

[ Cellphone dings ]

Sally: So… do you still have any concerns about me ghosting you?

Nick: Sally, if this is your version of ghosting, I’m all for it. In fact, why don’t you come and ghost me in the shower now?

Sally: I am going to have to take a rain check because I’m starving, and that is your fault. But I’m going to go unpack the goodies, and I will set up a feast while you go shower.

Nick: Okay.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Sighs ]

Kyle: I wish none of this had happened. I wish I could shield you from everything that’s gone on with stark, the issues with our mothers, all of it.

Summer: I want to protect you as much as you want to protect me.

Jack: Tempting as it might be to target her, I think it would be a big mistake to steal from phyllis. She’s too much of a wild card.

Diane: You’re probably right. Using her to dupe jeremy would be karmic justice, but the last thing we need is her going on a rampage and ruining our plan.

Jack: I don’t even want to contemplate what she would do.

Diane: [ Sighs ] And even though I have easy access to ashley’s belongings because she’s in the same house as kyle and harrison, she is still your sister, so it’d make it seem less credible.

Jack: Yeah, not to mention her growing anger at the two of us becoming closer. No, she could be every bit as dangerous to our plan as phyllis.

Diane: So I guess that only leaves one remaining member of the coven, and given that she’s partially responsible for bringing jeremy stark to town, maybe nikki deserves a little larceny coming her way.

Next Week on “The Young and The Restless”:

Chelsea: What happened?

Billy: It’s over.

Tucker: That’s what I remember and missed so much. Don’t tell me you don’t.

Devon: I’m not worried about Nate any more. I’m worried about a completely different threat.

Lily: What are you talking about?

Devon: We have a new traitor at the company.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

The second half was interrupted by news, so we’ll have to get it from On Demand.

Nina: Britt. Look at you, so beautiful. Turbulent. Doctor of the year. Everything you did to help people… everything you still could have done and… it’s not fair.

[ Sighs ]

[ Horse whinnies softly ] I want to stay with thor. Uh, we’ll go back. We just, uh, need to take a minute. ‘Cause mommy’s tired? No, it’s just — it’s — it’s cold outside. We just need to warm up.

[ Horse whinnies ]

[ Shivering ] I’m not cold. What? You’re freezing. Your nose is about to fall off. It is not! Oh, yeah? Okay. Then, uh, what do you call, uh — what do you call this? That’s your thumb. Are you sure? You better check. When my little sister comes, I’m gonna guard her nose, and she’s gonna guard mine. Oh, is that right? I can’t wait for her to be here.

[ Chuckles ] Neither can we.

[ Horse whinnies ] I understand that clairborne county, colorado, is a very rural area, but I do not understand how, in this digital age, there could be still three josiahs out there that you can’t find addresses for. That is a great idea. Please keep on it, and remember that a woman’s life could depend on this. Josslyn: Mom? In the kitchen. I barely slept.

[ Breathes sharply ] Wow. You look like how I feel. Yeah, I worked late last night. Wasn’t supposed to come in this morning, but someone called in sick, so here I am. I’m on my break, though, so, coffee? Espresso — double.

[ Chuckles ] Just kidding. Yeah, coffee’s fine. Thank you. Coming right up. Some night, huh?

[ Sighs ] The good news is esme’s in custody. The bad news is… she’s pregnant. I’m sorry. I’m gonna need you to say that again one more time, so I heard you correctly. They found esme? Yeah. And she’s pregnant? Yes. Which brings me to my question, um — do you have any tips for how to be a good big brother?

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Monitor beeping ] I can’t sleep. Can you give me something stronger?

[ Beeping continues ] Yes, I can arrange that. You’re sure the baby’s okay? I already told you, the baby’s heart pattern looks good. There are no signs of distress. I still can’t believe esme jumped. I mean, it’s a miracle. Right? That she and the baby are okay? Yeah, she’s one lucky girl. I’m glad martin agreed to take her case. I just — I wish I could get in there and talk to esme. Nikolas. What? I’m just saying. That’s not gonna happen. Esme: Who are you?

[ Monitor beeping ] I’m glad you asked, esme. I am a mother whose daughter has been taken from her. And what do you want? My pound of flesh.

Nikolas, listen to me — you need to stay as far away from esme as possible. Listen, if esme is faking her amnesia, I’m gonna know. Why would she? She has all the leverage if she remembers, and seeing you could bring back those memories. Do you — do you want to risk that? Of course not, but if I — then stay out of her room. Hey, you went in there, and she didn’t “remember you.” Well, I’m not the father of her baby, and my face isn’t the last one she saw before she chucked herself off the parapet. I want to see esme myself. Too bad. The longer it takes to remember, the better for us. It buys us time. For what, I have no idea. But I don’t want to think about that right now. Hey. It’s gonna be okay, elizabeth. No, listen to me. As we speak, demetrius is cleaning every trace of evidence that esme was in the north tower, and once he’s done, it is gonna be esme’s word against ours. Great. Until then, stay away from her. Drew: Hey, guys. I just came by to see if I could take comet out for a little ride.

[ Breathes sharply ] Uncle drew, did you meet thor? I did not. In the paddock. Did he bring his hammer? Actually, uh — uh, thor is what wiley named the new foal. Oh, right. Of course. I mean, I saw him out there — I just didn’t know he had a new name. Can I take uncle drew out to meet thor? Please? Wiley’s so excited about the new horse, we can’t keep up with him.

[ Chuckles ] Mommy and daddy are too cold.

[ Laughs ] Well, I would love it if you took me out to introduce me to the one and only thor. Yay!

[ Mouths words ]

[ Horse whinnies ] Come on.

[ Chuckles ] Show me the way. Is he strong? I just need a minute.

[ Door closes ] You got it. Dex. What are you doing here? I-I needed to talk to you. Did you hear about dr. Westbourne? No. What about her? There was another hook attack last night. Oh, god. That’s awful. Why would the hook attack britt? Well, the way I understand it, the hook was after someone else, britt intervened, and the intended victim got away. Well, that’s good. I mean, no one got hurt, right? Britt’s okay, isn’t she?

[ Whispers ] Uh, come here. Come here. No, she’s not. Britt died. But she — britt was fine. She’s fine. Well, according to the invader, britt suffered a scratch. The hook had poison on it, and britt collapsed about an hour later. Was she alone? No, she was with her mom. Oh, my god.

[ Breathes deeply ] I know it’s terrible. It’s awful. It’s — this happened because of me. So, did you know? Esme and your father… I found out right before I went to pentonville. That is rough. I knew that my father had slept with esme, but I did not know that esme was pregnant until last night. A-and your father, how long has he known? No idea. But I definitely got the impression that he knew before last night. Mm, and did esme admit to attacking people with the hook? No. Of course not. Can you imagine esme admitting to anything, ever?

[ Sighs ] She said she can’t remember a thing. Nina. Hi. Hey, thank you for meeting me here. You know, there are reporters all around the metro court hoping to get a quote about britt. I — you know, I had the security try to — what? They’re vultures, okay? Yeah, I hope that they don’t get ahold of aunt liesl ’cause that will not be pretty. Is this all you got here, one box? Yeah. Just one box. That’s all she had. Alright. Frank, can you take this to nina’s car? Yes, sir. Hey. Hey. Yeah? How are you doing otherwise? Well, I’m not great. I’m really worried about aunt liesl. You know, I talked to scott this morning, and she is broken. She’s grieving. She lost a child. There’s no greater pain.

[ Whispers ] Yeah, I know. You know, she doesn’t handle grief well. I mean, who does? But she was supposed to be here. She packed that box. Where do you think she is? Did — did liesl know that esme prince is in this hospital? I d– sonny. No. “A pound of flesh”? Shakespeare, right?

[ Monitor beeping ] Perhaps you’ll recognize another quote from his scottish tragedy in which a certain lady says, “look like th’innocent flower, but be the serpent under’T.” Look, I-I-I-I — I-I don’t know what happened to your daughter, but whatever did, I-I-I-I don’t remember. Is that supposed to invoke my mercy? No, look — that the taking of my daughter’s life was forgettable? Look, I’m sorry. Whatever happened to your daughter, I didn’t do it! How do you know if you don’t remember? You do not deserve the peace I’m about to bestow upon you, but the world does. Now, you owe my daughter an explanation. And you’d better think of one fast because you’re about to see her.

[ Muffled shouting ]

Schweigen! Another peep, and I will make this exquisitely painful. You scratched her with that infernal hook. She died in my arms. Now it’s your turn.

[ Muffled ] Don’t! Please! My baby! You need to accept that nothing you say right now matters. The only thing that matters is dr. Britta westbourne. My daughter — murdered, poisoned, taken by you.

Was ist das? You’re pregnant? Cameron: Do you think that esme might be faking her amnesia to avoid being charged as the hook? She is capable of anything.

[ Sighs ] On the other hand, she’s got a baby bump out to here, so… for her to be running around stabbing people, it seems unlikely. But if esme isn’t the hook, that means that somebody else is out there targeting trina and the rest of us. But who else besides esme would be targeting trina? I don’t know. But I do think that you and me and trina and josslyn, we should all get together and figure out what’s next. Yeah, you know what? You guys might have to meet without me. Just let me know what you decide. Why are you acting so weird? Is — is this about our parents or…? W– what? I do– I don’t know what you mean. No, um, what is it? What’s going on? Joss and I broke up. Josslyn, this is not your fault. There is only one person who is responsible for this, and it sure as hell isn’t you. Yeah. But if we had stayed… stayed where? What are you talking about? I was the intended victim.

[ Breathes sharply ] Britt interfered with me. I got away. What? Josslyn, oh, my god. Are you okay? Yeah, I’m fine. Thanks to britt and dex. Was it esme? I don’t know. I — [ Sobs ] The attacker was wearing a mask. I-I couldn’t see their face. All I saw was this hook swinging around. Why didn’t you wait for the police? I-I was — I was so freaked out. I just — I wanted to get out of there, and I didn’t have anything helpful to tell them. So you left britt alone? Well, she said it was okay.

[ Breathes sharply ] She — she said she was fine. She told us to go. She had it handled. You spoke to britt? Yes. She wasn’t wounded. Nothing was wrong. I didn’t know she was injured. That — that — that’s not what I mean. I don’t think she knew. Josslyn, that’s not what I’m asking. Why did britt tell the police that she didn’t know the identity of the person being attacked? Because of me. Everything seems fine. Yeah, I’m gonna go try to find aunt liesl, okay?

[ Indistinct conversations ] Elizabeth. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt. Have — have you — have you seen liesl obrecht? No, not since last night.

[ Cellphone beeps ] Sorry… no, that’s okay. Sonny. What do you want? Have you spoken to spencer? Not today. Why? Well, as you recall, he and britt were pretty close. I’m concerned about how he’s taking the news of her death. Why don’t you try talking to him? Because he’s not taking any of my phone calls or texts. What did you do now? Oh, you’re gonna find out soon enough. As you heard, uh, esme is in the hospital. Yeah, she’s right in that room. That’s right. Yeah. Right. Turns out she’s pregnant. Are you telling me that spencer’s gonna be a father? It’s not spencer’s baby. It’s mine.

[ Suspenseful music plays ] You sick —

[ Grunts ]

[ Punch lands ] Out, out, brief candle!

[ Sobbing ] Your end will be far more merciful than the one you gave my daughter.

[ Door opens ] Oh, my god! Aunt liesl, stop!

[ Monitor beeping ] What have you done?

You and joss broke up? Oh, you think you can’t believe it? But when I got out of pentonville, I asked you, and you said that you guys were good. I thought we were. I guess I was wrong. So the breakup wasn’t mutual, then? Joss said that we have grown apart. Is this because of that jerk, dex? You made my daughter leave the scene of a crime. I want to know why. Dex didn’t make me do anything. It was a mutual decision. And britt agreed. She said she could handle it. And what if the attacker had followed you? Where did you go? The reason we didn’t stick around for the police is because I was carrying. It’s a gun sonny gave me for work. It’s not registered to me. I don’t know where it came from or what would come back if the police ran a trace on it. Well, at least I know why you felt safe going wherever.

[ Sighs ] Alright, you should probably go. It’s okay. Your mom has questions, I’m happy to explain. Thank you, but I can fill her in. I’m gonna walk you out.

[ Door opens ] Look, joss. I… listen, it’s just better if my mom hears everything from me. Everything? Oh, god, no. No, I just want to make sure she understands that you didn’t talk me into anything. And that the decisions I made were mine. Any regrets? Other than leaving britt alone… not one. I feel like I should stay.

[ Breathes deeply ] This is between me and my mom. I won’t push anymore. You know how to reach me. Yeah, I do. Bye. [ Sniffles ]

[ Horse whinnies in distance ] Okay. Let’s go visit thor. No. Are you sure you’re not — not doing too much? Please, I’m barely doing anything. And I just don’t want you to push yourself too hard. Now that the first round of chemo is out of the way, I’m getting my strength back. This morning, I was actually hungry. Uh, yeah, I noticed, you, uh, you ate a whole piece of toast. And I picked it up all by myself. Mm.

[ Laughs ] I am going to get through this. I’m counting on it.

[ Breathes sharply ] Don’t panic. Melanie lured wiley back into the house with some [Chuckling] Hot chocolate. What about us? We like hot chocolate. Aw. You guys seem like you’re doing better. We’re hanging in there. Yeah. Hey, have you, um — have you heard anything at all from the donor registry? Uh, no match yet, but, you know, hope springs eternal. How is the search going for my birth family?

[ Sighs ] Well, I’m sorry, I don’t have any — any new news, but my reporters, they’re still working on it. Well, hopefully they find a lead soon because obviously a relative is the best bet for a bone marrow donor. Yeah, well, believe me, they know the urgency here. And I’m glad I ran into you guys, because I do have a question. Fire away. Yeah, um… willow, did — did harmony or doug stay in touch with the leader of the commune in colorado? Specifically, did they ever mention a guy by the name of josiah? Yes. Didn’t I tell you? Harmony took me to visit josiah after we left. Aunt liesl.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Breathes sharply ] Oh, my god. Did you kill her?! Not yet. That was just a sedative to keep her quiet. Okay, okay. So esme’s fine, baby is fine. There’s no lasting injury. Not yet. No! Not ever. Okay, I-I’ve got to get you out of here. You go. I’ll be just a moment. No! No! Stop it! Give — stop it! Aunt liesl! Listen to me! This is not what britt would have wanted. My britta cannot want anything anymore. She’s dead because of her! Oh. Okay, so you would kill a mother and her baby?

Nein. I would not. Not the baby.

What do you remember about your visit to josiah?

[ Sighs ] Sorry. I don’t remember much of anything. I only know I visited because it was my first time on an airplane. I remember looking out the window at the clouds and harmony giving me a piece of gum so my ears would pop, but…that’s about it. And that’s the only time that you went to visit him? As far as I can recall. Shiloh made harmony cut ties with josiah when we joined dawn of day. Yeah, of course he did. He had to cut off your escape route. Why? Do you think josiah knew who my birth father was? Well… look, my reporters are still searching for other members of the commune, but we do think that, you know, josiah probably would be our best bet. Well… here’s hoping you find him. And soon. In the meantime, it’s so important just to stay positive. Okay? I know. And…I am. Yeah, you are. Good. And if I can ask… if you’ve got time and you have the energy, just to give carly a call, okay? She’s just concerned that with the stress of the pregnancy, any more bad news about the search for your biological family could just be a little overwhelming for you. Well, mom doesn’t know that — that willow’s sick. No. No, willow asked me not to say anything, and — and I haven’T. She’s just — she’s worried. And to be honest, I’m worried, too, just that maybe you’re losing hope. Believe me, I am holding onto hope with both hands. I am determined to be here to see my daughter and wiley grow up.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Hmm. You have no idea how much I needed this.

Finn: Actually, I think I do. In fact, I will hold you as long as you need. I’ll hold you until this entire nightmare’s over.

Steffy: Will it be? Or is sheila gonna be in our lives forever?

Finn: Well, sheila’s in custody, right? Maybe we’ll luck out.

Steffy: You heard bill what he’ll do if she doesn’t get released.

Finn: Would he, though? After all this time, he would come forward about what your mom did and turn her in.

Steffy: He’s determined to help sheila resorting to blackmail. I mean, there are so many women he could choose from, women who actually add to his life, fulfill him. And who does he turn to? Sheila. Sheila carter.

Sheila: Are you sure it’s safe to talk?

Bill: I have taken care of everything, but nothing is guaranteed. So I wanna err on the side of caution. Keep your voice down and keep your distance.

Sheila: Yeah. But if we have this room to ourselves.

Bill: That’s the very opposite of what I just said. And it makes me wonder if you’re trying to avoid an answer.

Sheila: What?

Bill: I need to know if this is real.

Sheila: I can’t believe you even feel you have to ask that.

Bill: I have felt like this before, only to be let down. I’ll not be used. Is that what you’re doing, sheila? Are you using me?

[ Bag zipping ]

[ Door opens ]

Katie: Oh, my.

[ Laughing ]

Carter: Yeah. I forgot to lock that again.

Katie: Ah, and let me guess, you were working out again?

Carter: Guilty as charged.

Katie: Oh, oh, hang on, hang on. Before you button up, there’s something you need to do first.

Carter: Somebody’s in a good mood.

Katie: Well, how can I help but in a good mood when I walk in on this?

[ Carter chuckles ]

Carter: I’m sure it’s more than that. Your visit with bill, it went well?

Katie: Okay, hang on a second. So I am here in your handsome arms, and you wanna talk about bill?

Carter: Not if you don’t want to.

Katie: Hmm. Well, my visit did go well. Yeah. I just can’t get over it. Sheila finally captured, and that’s all because of bill. He’s really a hero.

Steffy: If we give in, if we trade sheila’s freedom for my mother’s, we’re endangering all of us. Why can’t bill see that?

Finn: He can’t see anything, steffy. Sheila’s got some sort of emotional hold on him.

Steffy: And that is a truly frightening thought to know that bill has some like sick crush on a psychopath. What do we do, finn? What do we do? Sheila cannot be released. But if bill is serious about threatening my mom, I think our– our hands are tied. I don’t know.

Taylor: Okay. I have one question. One very important question. Who is throwing the party? Me or you?

Steffy: Ah, party? What, what, what, what party?

Taylor: Come on. I can’t be the only one that wants to celebrate. Sheila’s finally behind bars.

Sheila: Am I using you? If you mean by using, wrapping myself in your incredibly strong arms and not wanting you to let go. Connecting with someone in a way I’ve never connected with anyone like that my entire life. I’ve– I thought you felt the same way. That you were enjoying every minute of it.

Katie: You know what’s sad? When bill found out that I was concerned about him, it– he seemed surprised.

Carter: Did he?

Katie: Yeah.

Carter: Well, knowing bill he had something sarcastic to say.

Katie: I– that’s just it. I mean, he has, shall we say, a big personality, and none of that was there. That bluster. It was like he was so vulnerable. Something that I’ve rarely seen. Something’s been off with him for a while lately.

Carter: Well, it’s a good thing he wasn’t the least bit off when sheila came knocking on his door. We all owe bill our gratitude, and now we can focus on other things. Better things.

Katie: Mm. Much better things.

Taylor: [ Chuckles ] Steffy, you should have heard me when I got your text that sheila had finally been arrested. I screamed, “yes!” Right in the middle of my colleague’s speech. Now he won’t stop talking to me about alternative modalities for anxiety.

Steffy: How was the conference?

Taylor: It was great. Sold out. Thank you. That– I don’t wanna talk about that. I wanna hear about how everything went down. So– so wait. Bill is the one that found sheila and turned her in?

Finn: Yeah. It was bill. He’s responsible for all this.

Taylor: Wow. Our family is safe again because of bill spencer.

Sheila: Look, we’re gonna have many more nights together in front of the fireplace. Just get me out of here. Please, just take me back home.

Bill: Home? You really think this can work, the two of us?

Sheila: Well, given the way things have gone the last few weeks, I’d say yes.

Bill: Why did you follow me that night?

Sheila: From el giardino? I– I don’t know. I saw you sitting at the bar by yourself, staring off, and you just looked so lonely. And it intrigued me. I’ll be honest, I was bored. I was bored. My situation being alone and following you, well, that was going to be an adventure. The all-powerful rich, mighty bill spencer, where was he heading off to?

Bill: Not what you expected, I’m sure.

Sheila: No, it definitely wasn’T. I never expected you to walk down the beach and plop yourself down in the sand. And I knew that approaching you would be a risk. But I don’t know, there was just– there was something that said I had to take that chance.

Bill: We talked until the sun came up.

Sheila: And you could have called the police. You could have easily overpowered me. Turned me in. But you didn’T. And I– I still, still can’t believe that.

Bill: I can’t either. There was something about the desperation in your voice, the loneliness in your eyes. That night, we connected in a way. Well, like you said, in a way that I’ve never connected with anyone. My god, what does that say about me?

Sheila: That says you’re tired of faking who you are and that you’ve been with the wrong women. You’ve been with good girls most of your life. Bill, good girls who didn’t truly understand you. They wanted to change you. Wanted to make you more like them. You’re not one of them, bill. Neither one of us are. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Carter: You know, the best part of all of this?

Katie: All of what?

Carter: Sheila being arrested.

Katie: We no longer have to live in danger.

Carter: Yeah. Yes. But I was going to say your gorgeous smile.

Katie: [ Chuckles ]

Carter: I like seeing you happy.

Katie: I like being happy. It definitely feels like there’s a weight lifted. With sheila in custody, we can concentrate on better things on the future and all those wonderful moments yet to come.

Sheila: Other women want to change you. They wanna tame you and turn you into a weaker version of your true self. But not me. I know there’s nothing wrong with you. I understand you. The core, just like you do me.

Bill: Steffy came to see me.

Sheila: Did she?

Bill: She asked a lot of questions. Questions I’m not sure I even have the answers to. Katie as well. She called me a hero.

Sheila: That’s exactly what you are. You’re my hero. Oh, come on, bill. Please tell me you are not wavering because of something a logan has said.

Bill: I am putting everything on the line for you. If we pull this off, I lose everyone. My kids will hate me. Katie, brooke. I say goodbye to everyone in my life.

Sheila: Yes. And you say hello to someone who understands you.

Bill: Is this real?

Sheila: I– I know that this seems sudden, but I think I have more than shown you how I feel.

Bill: You’re talking about a dance with the devil. If it’s real, it will be an unforgettable ride. If it’s not, I know you, sheila carter.

Taylor: What a way to kick off the new year, huh? Sheila getting caught. It has to be a good omen, right? I am so optimistic right now about my future. I’m back in la, making up for lost time with my grandkids. My– my career is booming. And you know what else? I have a new friend, brooke freaking logan. After everything we’ve been through, I think this is gonna be my best year yet.

[ Knock on the door ]

Taylor: I’ll get it.

Finn: Look, she’s right. Okay? This will be her best year.

Steffy: From inside a cell. We can’t let that happen. We can’t give in to bill’s blackmail.

Taylor: Chief baker, hi.

Chief baker: Dr. Hayes. How are you?

Taylor: You know what? I am excellent. This news about sheila.

Chief baker: It’s about time, right?

Taylor: Yes.

Chief baker: May I?

Taylor: Yes, please. Come on in.

[ Door closes ]

Chief baker: Hello, steffy.

Steffy: Hey.

Chief baker: Finn.

Finn: Hey, chief baker.

Chief baker: As happy as we all are, capturing sheila was really just step one. There’s a whole lot of work to be done before prison becomes her permanent address.

Taylor: Yeah. I mean, I understand that there’s gonna be a hearing, but we all know what the outcome’s gonna be.

Chief baker: Well, that’s why I’m here, in fact, to review your statements, make sure everything is in order for trial.

Bill: If you prosecute

sheila, she won’t be

the only one behind bars.

If sheila goes to jail,

taylor goes to jail.

Taylor: Steffy and finn will do whatever’s necessary to put sheila carter in prison. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Chief baker: I just wanted to reiterate how important your testimony is going to be.

Steffy: I want sheila to pay for what she did.

Finn: There’s no doubt she belongs in prison.

Taylor: Yeah. And stephanie and finn will do whatever they need to do to cooperate. And we all will. Everyone in our family wants to make sure sheila never walks free again.

Chief baker: Exactly what I wanted to hear. Well, thank you all. I will be in touch.

Finn: I’ll show you out.

Steffy: Thanks.

Taylor: Bye. Oh, my gosh. Sheila’s arraignment can’t come soon enough. She’s gonna be locked up forever.

Steffy: I really, I really don’t wanna talk about sheila right now, mom.

Taylor: Hey. What’s going on?

Steffy: Oh god. There is just so much to be thankful for. So much joy around us, and I think that’s– that’s what we need to focus on, okay?

Taylor: Okay. Okay. Yes. There is so much good. You can focus on your amazing husband and your beautiful kids.

Steffy: And you, my mother. I am just so– um, I’m so proud of you. The woman that you are. You deserve to be happy. You deserve the brightest future imaginable. You said this might be your best year yet. And I want you to know that I will do everything I can to make that happen, okay?

Taylor: I– I love you so much, baby. Thank you.

Sheila: I know why you’re questioning this, why you’re protecting yourself, and it has nothing to do with me. Has to do with what you’ve been through in your past with those bitch logans that put– okay. I– I’m sorry. It’s just that they’ve– they’ve always tried to change you, and that’s why you’re having a hard time understanding what we have together here. They don’t appreciate you. They never did. Not the way that I do. They couldn’t possibly. Neither one of them would’ve ever walked out on you if they did. And that’s something I will never do to you. No, not with the connection that I– I have with you. Connection that I have been looking for my whole life. Someone who– who can handle me and stand up for me. And I know that you’ve been looking for that too.

Bill: Looking? I’m thinking that person didn’t exist.

Sheila: No, I’m here. I’m right here. If you’re there for me, I will be there for you, and I will be a powerful force behind you. Can’t you see it? Bill, the– the possibilities, the two of us together, there is nothing that we can’t do. I can already feel it. I am so ready to love you the way you need, the way no other woman has. But you’ve gotta believe me.

Bill: I wanna believe in your feelings for me. That you’re telling me the truth.

Sheila: I promise you, I am.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

right. I have jam a meal, ginger and peppermint. Ah, I wasn’t sure what you liked . Thanks Chav. But you didn’t know what to go to all that trouble. Are you kidding me? It’s the least I could do. Considering you spent the entire day I skating with me and the kids. You know, I was coming down the stairs. I heard Thomas tell Jack that today was lit.

Oh my God. Where do you learn? What do you mean? Where did he learn that? When you have a dad as cool as me, you know, you pick up a few things. . Oh, well for the record, I also thought today was lit.

Yeah, me too.

I’m thinking maybe we should get you to a hospital. What now? What? And tell them that I sne. You heard Rex? Yes, I did. He said that my test results could mean that I’m relapsing, but they also might mean nothing. Yeah. And hopefully that’s the case, but I don’t want to take you to chances, so come on, let’s go get you checked out.

No, I don’t want to. I wanna stay here with my darling husband and have dinner. In fact, maybe you could make us some charter. I think that’s exactly what the doctor would order.

So what are you saying these blood test results mean? It doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re relapsing. Look, I know that you are trying to be optimistic, but there’s no denying these numbers. Kate, in my m i results were almost identical last fall, but, but the rate of decline is vastly acceler. What does that mean?

That means that Kate and I might be in trouble. I suspect that Marlay is too,

oh God, to think I trusted in your loyalty. You don’t know the meaning of the word loyalty. Come on God, just because I have a little compassion for the woman. Compassion. Compassion for a sociopath and disregard for your wife. No, no, no, no, no. Not true at all. I just think you’re being a little unfair here.

Unfair. Kristin is an evil lying bitch, and you take her word over mine. Do you know how that makes me feel? You know that I feel. I feel so utterly, utterly betrayed.

Really? Oh, I’m sorry sweetheart. I, I guess I just got caught up in the moment. Yeah, it’s, it’s okay. It’s okay. That’s why we’re rehearsing here. We wanna make this fight look as real as possible here. It’s the only way I’m gonna get Kristen to trust. Yes. And as soon as you do, I hope you can find out what she has over Brady.

I don’t understand. The arch is right here. I I, I just checked on it the other day. Stop, stop, stop. Stop lying. I’m not lying. Brady, somebody took it. This is another one of your tricks, isn’t it? No. No it isn’t. And you have to believe I’m done. I’m, oh, I’m. You understand? I don’t you find that damn flower right now, or you’ll never, never see Rachel again.

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

What? You took a video of me falling on the ice. Yep. The total wipe out. I mean, your other fault we’re good, but this one was just epic and I promised the kids I would send it to them. No, no, no, no, no, no. You can’t do that because then they will use it against me forever. I don’t care. I’m sending it. Oh.

What’s wrong? Ah, just my ankle. You think it’s sprained? No, no, it’s just sore. It’s been a long time since I’ve skated. Uh, cool. Let me have it, what, get up here. I’ll massage it. You don’t have to do that. No, I want to. I want to. And, and then maybe you can, um, accidentally delete that video. Okay, maybe. Come on.

We’ll see how good your healing powers are. Careful.

So I don’t suppose you have any more of that serum. We only had one Viler begin with the lab, used some for their analysis, and then they administered the doses and there was just a little bit left. Not enough to cure one person, let alone three. We can’t be reproduced only with the orchid that we made it.

Okay, so we’re in the same boat as before. No, no. We’re at the mercy of whoever delivered that serum the first time around. No, because we are not gonna just sit around and wait for a miracle. We are gonna find some other viable treatment and we need to warn Kate and Marlene. I’m glad we put our plan on hold over the holidays.

I don’t like fighting with you, even if it is. I’m right with you, sweetheart. Well, let me tell you something. If this works, we may finally get Kristen out of Brady’s life. Good? Yeah. Hold on.

Hey, happy New Year, Eric. I you, Hey. Looks like you had a champagne incident. Ah, yes. Don’t like that. I’m sorry for popping your mic. This, but No, no, no. What, what brings you by? Um, I’m looking for Brady. Uh, can’t help you. We just got home from the in and he wasn’t here. By the way, thank you for volunteering to watch Rachel.

For us, it gave us a chance to have a love night on one . Yeah. I’m glad you enjoyed it. But to be honest, I had an ulterior motive. What does that mean? It gave me a chance to kidnap.

You quit playing games with me, okay? I am not. I’m not. Why would I do that? When you are threatening to take my child from me, which by the way, is a despicable heart listening to do. Are you kidding me? You’ve been holding Marlene’s life over my head for the, for the last couple months and Kate’s and Cas.

Yeah. Well, Rachel is an innocent little girl. Rachel, didn’t you think, didn’t you think I wanted to bring my little daughter? No, I did not. But you gave me no choice. Gimme the flower. Gimme the, give me the flowers. I can’t for last chance. Brady. Brady, I can’t. As you complain, you can. It’s not Kristen. Don’t will tell Rachel that you said goodbye.

No, Brady, please. You can’t do that. No,

I swear to you. I swear to you on Rachel’s life that I’m telling the truth. Someone stole the orchid police.

How does that feel? Pretty good actually. You really know what you’re doing. . I dated a physical therapist for a few weeks. It, uh, obviously didn’t work out, but. She taught me a thing or two. Clearly, my ankle feels better already. Glad I could help.

It’s Alex.

Hey. Hey. I didn’t think you’d pick up. Are you still mad at me? No, we’re good. Well good. That makes me happy. You know, I just wanted to call and apologize for being such a jerk earlier. I just keep getting this feeling that Chad keeps trying to find ways to spend time with you and I, anyway, it is behind us now.

I apologize and I hope we can just move forward. Already done. Good. So tonight you want to grab some dinner? Maybe I can pick you up at your. That’s okay. I’ll meet you somewhere. Okay. How about the bistro? The bistro? Perfect. See you soon.

Heading out, Alex and I are gonna grab dinner, but thank you for the massage and for today. It was, um, it was really fun. Yeah, anytime.

Who will steal the or, I don’t know. I really, I don’t know. There is a full house upstairs and any one of them could have wandered down here and taken the, or Kristin and Kristen, you, you, you had, you took the one thing that could, that could save Marlena and Kates and Kayla’s life, and you left it in an area where an army of people would have access to it.

How could you be that careless about someone? I, I, I. They are not supposed to. They’re not supposed Who? Who’s not supposed to what? Look, ej he, he decided to secure the tunnels after Leo Stark set up camp down here and, and the construction has been going on at since last fall. Yeah. I can tell. I can tell there’s construction going on.

Yeah. When I came down here, what is your point with all that? I just figured everyone would stay clear until the construction was done. Wow. Figured wrong because usually with construction, there’s a construction team that you know is around all the time while the construction is going on. He’s to you.

There’s some guy with a hard hat who has the orchid. He probably gave it to his wife, Kristin. No, no, no. It’s here. It has to be here, Brady. No, it look it. I know I’m sure. To somewhere in this house. For your sake. For your sake, hope to God it is

you. Kidnapped our granddaughter. You’re messing with me, right? No, Rachel is safe. She’s, she’s here in Salem and she thinks she’s having a fun adventure in Salem with who? She’s with a friend who’s completely trustworthy. Did Brady sign off on this? I, I wouldn’t have done it if he hadn’t. I promise you, mom, nothing happened or will happen that will ever bring trauma to her at all.

And this is all an act just for Kristen’s benefit. Oh. Why that Flying around? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But to involve her kid Rachel is fine. I believe that it’s just that something like this could push Kristen off the deep end. Absolutely. Much as I dislike that terrible woman, any mother being made to believe their child had been abducted mom, it’s the only way we can neutralize.

She’s been blackmailing Brady for months. She demanded that he break it with Chloe and forced him to move her in here. I knew it. I knew it all along. What in the world does she have over him? Your life?

Thanks, Kate here. Yeah, I will. Uh, I’ll tell her. I love you too. Bye. So I guess that’s not good news. Kayla’s test results were almost identical to yours,

so I guess we’re relapsing together.

Could you pass me the pepper? The pepper is next to the salt. This is bland. You’re gonna have to talk to your cook about that. Hey, this is serious. Yes, I know. I, I, I know it’s serious. I know that I’m getting sick again, and I know last time I almost died, but I didn’t, and I don’t intend to die this time either.

So just pass me the pepper and let me enjoy my dinner.

Roman is going to break the news to Kate and hopefully he’ll be able to convince her to come in for more tests. Yeah. Somebody tells me my mom’s gonna put up a fight. Oh, you know Roman will fight too. Yeah. Um, I should, I should call

Kayla. Kayla. Hi.

So, okay. No, no one is here except for Harold. And he hadn’t seen the orchid anywhere in the house. He said that, uh, no one’s been in the tunnel since the construction started. He’s sure about that. Positive. Positive. Now, we were all warned to stay away because of the toxic dust and all the other serious hazards.

And he said, um, the, the foreman, he ran a very tight ship. Mm-hmm. , uh, none of his, his workers would ever steal anything, especially from the Demaris. Well, you know what, Kristin, that, that brings everything back to you. For the last time, Brady, I did not move the, or maybe you got rid of it. And why would I do that?

Don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe, maybe outta spite. How about that? Oh, oh, really? So if, if I destroyed the flower, I wouldn’t have leverage over you and you know that I would never give that up. And besides, I don’t really want Marlene and the others to die. Well now they might. Then Mike, Kristen, because of your carelessness.

I’m sorry. And your selfishness. Okay. And your I’m Soutter Insanity about I’m thing. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I really didn’t want any of this to happen. Well, here we are, and if anything happens to those three women, their blood is gonna be on your hands.

So Christian’s the one that provided the. Only after Brady agreed to dump Chloe. You know, we’ve always known that she was manipulative, but I never believed she’d even go this far. You know, doc, I had these very suspicions months ago. Do you remember when I caught Brady going through Kristen’s things? Yes.

You thought he was looking for the serum. I was wondering if she got it from Rolf and was using it to blackmail Brady. That doesn’t make any sense because once we were all cured, Brady didn’t go back to Chloe. No, he bought Kristen here to stay with us. Why would he do that if the threat to us was over?

According to Christian, it’s not

claims that all three of you, you woman, are gonna need second shine and possibly a booster. What? She won’t, she won’t turn over the orchid that we need to make the serum unless Brady keeps doing what she wants. Oh God, I don’t have more shots. Oh, you, you feel you’ve been feeling okay? Haven’t Johnny?

Yeah, dog. Oh, excuse me, ma’am. Oh, excuse me. Goodness. I’m so sorry.

How you feeling? better. I just, I just got so dizzy all of a sudden. Yeah. Thank you.

You know what? You’re burning up. You have a fever. We need to admit you immediately. No, I have so much work to catch up on. I, I, I have messages to return. I’ve got charts to review. I cannot, all the people you care about would want you to take care of yourself. I cannot believe this is happening again. I don’t want you to worry baby.

Listen, we’re gonna beat this thing just like we did last time. There’s no doubt in my mind,

Hey, to beat this, you need to be in a place where they can do everything possible to make sure it doesn’t get worse now. No. What do you mean? No? No. I mean, no. I mean, I can’t go through that again. All right. The, the, the weeding and the fear and the, the wondering what’s gonna happen because that’s my idea of hell Roman.

I refuse to do it.

I can’t do that. Katie. Okay, I get that. Alright, I get that. It’s hard. Really hard. And I’m gonna be here with you and I will be with you every step of the way, as will your son and the entire team at university. And when we get you there, they’ll be able to monitor. You’re not listening. I will not go to that hospital.

Is everything okay? Chad? I’m glad you here. Maybe you can talk some sense into this one. What’s going on? Nothing. The virus at Orpheus infected her wrist is back. What? Okay. If she needs to get to a hospital as soon as possible, don’t you agree? It doesn’t matter if he agrees, okay, I’m not doing it. I’m not going to the hospital.

End of conversation. Okay, wait.

I’m sorry about the bistro. I had no idea that they were close for renovations. That’s okay. I, uh, I actually prefer what we scrounged up in the kitchen. A little grilled cheese and tomato soup. Yeah, it’s a classic. It is a classic. Especially on a cold night like this. Hmm. Stephanie? Um, . I just wanted to apologize for the way I was earlier.

I hate the way I acted. Jealous, insecure, territorial. I’m not that guy. Well, at least I wasn’t that guy until I met you,

Alex, I promise you have no reason to feel threatened by. Like I keep saying, we are just friends. Friends who almost hooked up not too long ago, but we didn’t, I was worried about my mom’s illness and he was still craving his wife. You know, he is gonna be ready to move on at some point maybe, but that has no bearing on our relationship.

I am with you, not Sha,

when are you gonna get that through your

hmm. . Okay. Key. Can you hear me? Key. She has a pulse part week. I need to call an ambulance. I’m not waiting. I’m gonna take her to the hospital right now. Call my sister. Tell ’em we’re coming. Okay. Hey,

come on. But yet, could you just hand me my tablet over there? I might as well do some research if I’m stuck here. Okay. Oh, don’t think you should try to relax. No, it’s not. There is someone out there who may have found a different way to treat this disease, and I’m gonna find out who that is. Oh, sorry, Chad.

Hi, Chad, everything okay? Uh, no. No it isn’t. Um, uh, I’m at the pub and Kate just passed out. Roman told me to let you know that they’re on their way to the hospital now. Okay. Okay. We’ll be ready for her.

Uh, I’m sorry I tell you this, but your mom passed out of the pub and your dad’s bringing her in. Okay. Um, I’ll meet them downstairs.

You need a calm lady,

sweetheart. That’s, that’s the second time you sneeze today. Oh, okay. It’s probably nothing dying. Yeah. Do you think that Christian was lying when she said that everybody would need additional doses? Brady doesn’t think so, but he wasn’t willing to chance it. Brady, he’s sacrificed so much giving up the woman that he.

How could Kristen be so cruel? Why didn’t Brady just tell us what Kristen was holding over him? Because it was part of the terms. Brady didn’t keep quiet. She was gonna destroy the orchid who told me in the moment of frustration. So it was your idea to force her hand for Brady to tell her that she will never see her daughter again unless she forks over that.

It should be Richard and or as her feet. Oh man, I dunno about this here. Kristin’s such a, a loose cannon between this whole blackmail thing blowing up in her face and being rested for brainwashing her brother here. The walls are closing in. This whole damn thing can go sideways in a hurry. Hey, we’re gonna find out soon enough.

What happened?

Where’s he working? It’s gone.

This is nice being on the ice all day, even in the sun. I was freezing. Mm. I’m glad I could warm you up.

It’s gotta be. At least 10 below out there kind of dreading going home.

So don’t

stay the night. I mean, if you want to, of course there’s no pressure

actually. I really like that.

Listen, you have got to go call John in Marlena. Okay? I will in a minute. I just wanna make sure you’re okay first. I am fine. Now it just makes me so angry that even from behind bars, Orpheus is still wreaking. Hav on our life. Don’t say his. Listen to me. We’re gonna figure this out. I promise you. Listen, I am all for optimism, but we need to be realistic.

We survived last time because we got lucky. Someone anonymously dropped off the serum. I wish I could find out that who that person was. Yeah, I dropped the ball on that one. I was just so happy that the three of you were okay. You cannot blame yourself. We were all just so relieved that that nightmare was over.

Well, let’s just hope that whoever it was gone through for us, again,

we searched the. Damn house in the orchid, isn’t there? Well, maybe it wasn’t there in the first place. Maybe she has it hidden somewhere else. She says that she doesn’t. Yeah, right. Okay. I don’t know what happened to it, I swear. And why should we believe you? Because your son threatened to take off with Rachel and I wasn’t willing to risk losing her.

We didn’t have any problem risking the lives of three women to give what you wanted. You didn’t have any problem taking. Marlena, Kate and Kayla’s kids away from them. You know why that is? Cause you’re still a monster. You as twisted and s Okay, John, I mean, you have quickly just turned on me. I’m guessing that, uh, Brady and Eric aren’t the only ones who are, who are putting on a show you.

It’s obvious that you are the one who took my daughter. Yeah, I know that Brady arranged for you to be with her that night. You did it. You. Or a bunch of liars. You have no right to the moral high ground. Do you know what Marlena? All I’m doing is trying to get my family back. He never tried to take Rachel away from you.

He tried to be reasonable about the custody. But you know what? There’s no reasoning with you because you are deranged and you are pathetic. Kristin, what the hell? After all these years, you’re still coming after my family. And now you have put your own daughter in the direct line of fire. No, no, no, I didn’t.

Mother, son, you sit free, drink goodbye to for a. If we really lost that orchid, little Rachel could lose her grandmother. How do you think that’s gonna make her feel when she finds out that you were responsible for that? She’s not only endangered the lives of three women, you caused your daughter so much pain.

You traumatized her to know him that. That wasn’t enough. Only cause of your damn sick obsession with my son.

Maybe. Maybe we’re enough. Maybe. We’ll, we’ll find, we’ll, we’ll, we’ll find out. There’s all this stuff. I mean, maybe we’ll find the orchid. I What if we don’t, I don’t know. What if we don’t? What’s the plan then? What if the symptoms come back? Steve? Hey partner. Where do I feel you on what’s going on here? Hey.

Is Marlena feeling okay? And she’s fine. Why? I have some bad news.

Oh, Rex Mom. Hey, hey. How you feeling? I didn’t wanna go to the hospital. I know, I know. I’m sorry For whatever it’s worth. We took a vote when you were on the floor of the pub and you lost.

It’s bad, isn’t it? I am just glad that you are here.

It’s so strange. I felt fine. Seems like a moment ago, and now I wake up here. I feel so weak. It’s happening faster this time. Just rest. Okay, just rest. I’m gonna take good care of you.

Will you do me a favor? Anything?

Don’t lemme die here.

Babe, is your leg okay? Uh, yeah. It’s just my ankle. It’s been a long time since I’ve skated. Oh, well, I can massage it for you. Oh, that’s okay. Chad, already, Chad gave you a massage. Okay. It wasn’t like that. I swear. Okay. Okay. Okay. I’m not jealous at all. I just don’t want to spoil the mood. Oh, is this how I get you to behave?

Hmm. It’s promise of sex. Well, I prefer to think of it as making. Love . Hey, now you definitely spoiled the mood. Just stop. Roger that

sweetheart. We’re gonna need to get you to the hospital, honey. It was a couple of us knees. I’ll be fine. Steve said Caden. Caleb were fine too, right before they passed down. Ju just let me at least get you off your feet. Okay? Honey, please just do this for me, please. Sure. Okay, I’ll lie down. Okay? Yeah, come on.

Uh, if you hadn’t been playing your games, the doctors could have found a cure by now. And if anything happens, Kate or Kayla and they don’t make it, that’s on you and Amy. That’s just not my invention. I I, I was planning to turn the orchid over at the first sign of any symptoms

We need to find that way. Yes, and I do wanna find that orchid as well, but guess. There is a, uh, pressing matter at hand. Really? What’s that? I want my daughter back now.

My sister had the orchid the whole time. Yeah. But according to John, it’s gone. So Kristen knew that Kate and the others would need another dose and didn’t say a word. If she’d have given us that damn flower at the start, we’d be in the clear. What the hell is wrong with her? Well, apparently she’s using the orchid to control Brady.

In other words, playing games with people’s lives. Yeah, and that means that the women we love could pay the price. Mom, I know you do not want to be here, but this is the best possible place for you right now without an attitude. Look. Doing research. We’re talking to experts. We’re doing everything in our power to find another cure.

I thought we were cured. I know with dad it only took one dose and I just assumed that. I’m sorry. I need to really, I’m so sorry. I need help. Please don’t do that. Don’t blame yourself. Is there anything else I can do for you? Besides let you go home

Call your siblings, tell them not to come. I

mom.

I feel so strange. Strange how? Mom? Mom, which crew? I know. Mom, can you hear me? Treat.

Hello? I love you.

You think could have stolen the orchid? For what reason? I, how the hell do I know? Kristen? I’m just asking you if it’s possible. Well, he’s halfway around the world. I don’t see how he.

Mommy. Oh my gosh, sweetheart. Oh gosh. Are you all right? Yeah, but I missed you. Oh, honey, I missed you too. I’m glad. So we couldn’t come home because you and daddy were sick. He told you that. Are you better now? Yes. Sweet. Yeah, your daddy and I are perfectly fine. Wish we could say that about everybody else.

Had to go break the news to Kayla about the orchid. Is there anything I can do to help? Actually, yeah, you could, uh, call Stephanie for. I’m sure she’s gonna want to be here for her mom. Absolutely. I’ll call her. I’ll call her right now.

I’m right.

So Kristen had the orchid all along and she lost. Oh, I’d like to throttle her right now. I’d like to do a lot worse. We’ll figure out a way to make her pay as soon as you’re all better. Did you find anything useful in here? No, nothing. I combed all through the research on this disease, any kind of other treatment, and there is nothing.

So without the orchid, we’re doing everything we can to find that right now. And in the meantime, unless some of that serum might show up, I just don’t know how long we go. Wait,

I’m scared, baby. The fight isn’t over yet. You can’t give up. You know what? You and Kate and Marlena are the strongest women I know. This disease doesn’t have a chance against. You’re all gonna be fine. I just know it.

All right, one more time. Claire. Oh god. Doctor, it’s time to car. No, no, no, no. Do it again. Try it again, Rex. Try it again. The more we can do. Time of death. 8 0 2. No, no. Don’t stop. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, dad.

Again, shh. Can this guy take a hit?

Sorry, Chad, my man. You aren’t interrupting us this time. Uh, Steph, it’s Chad. You, um, you gotta get to the hospital right away. It’s your mom.

Come on Steph. You don’t have much time.

Thank you. Here we go. Thank.

How you feeling? Sweetness. Look, I just went 10 rounds with a Ali. Oh, you look very beautiful to me. Always.

You know, nothing should surprise us about Kristen, but I can’t believe that she would knowingly put three people’s lives at risk because of her obsession with Brady. Don’t worry about Kristen. What I need you to do is focus all your energy on beating this thing, getting better. I wish I had your

What if we don’t get a hold of that orchid soon?

Don’t say it. Look at me.

You need to keep the faith we have to.

So breathe out. Searching for the orchid. Yeah. In fact, he’s out there right now with a couple of black patch investigators.

It’s already thought that maybe Christian is lying about the orchid being stolen. I wouldn’t put that pastor, you know, doc is a general rule. I don’t put anything past Kristen, but I think she’s on the level this time.

Have to hope to find it before it’s too late.

Damn. He’s got, you’ve done everything medically. Do more, do more, do more. She’s gone. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. She’s God

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

She looks like she’s,

we just founded a way back to each. We were gonna get a ride. We were gonna get a ride.

I’ll give you two. A moment alone.

Hey Dan. Yeah, I just wanna say that she, Mom told me many times how happy you made her. She loved you very much.

Baby.

How many times have we overcome obstacles that we didn’t think were possible to overcome all these years? How did we do that? Huh? I’ll tell you how. Our love.

Do I need to remind you the power of our love?

No, you don’t need to

listen.

I need you to go take that. Roman Kate, baby. They have each other. I’m not gonna leave your side. Look, I’m fine. I’m, I’m, I’m gonna be stable and I.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

cody? Are you here? Felicia! Hey. You just missed it. Missed what? Well, I brought in the new year by staying up all night helping a-a struggling filly. She was, uh, trying to give birth. Uh! It reminded me of the time I helped britt with that miracle baby born on christmas eve. You know, if you think about it, I guess every life is a miracle.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. So, uh, what brings you to the q stables so bright and early? Mac has been trying to reach you. He’s in the middle of an investigation. Otherwise he would have come here to tell you himself. Tell me what? I am so sorry, cody. Britt died last night. Maxie jones, you and britt westbourne were friends and related by marriage, right? Do you have a comment on her tragic death? Can you please have the decency to let us grieve before you hound us with questions? Hey! Hey! Leave her alone! Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is my hotel. Get away from her! If you don’t leave now, I’m calling security. No. Leave! Go!

[ Sighs ] Thank you, nina. I can’t believe this. Any of it. No. Neither can I. Liesl, what are you doing? What does it look like? I’m saving what’s left of my daughter. I need to make a phone call.You already made a phone call. If your lawyer doesn’t want to show up, I don’t know what to tell you. I need to talk to my son. Britt westbourne is dead. She wasn’t just my ex-girlfriend, she was — she was an important part of spencer’s life. And I need to reach him before anyone else tells him about it. But he’s not taking any of my calls. You can do that on your own time. I mean, we got a string of murders we’re trying to solve here, and I need answers. So why don’t we start with you telling me about your relationship with spencer’s girlfriend, esme prince?

[ Monitor beeping ] Can’t you take these off me? Sorry, the staff’s not allowedto remove the restraints. All I remember is… waking up here with some police detective asking me questions that I couldn’t answer. Are you sure there’s nothing else you remember, esme?

[ Door closes ] Did we have a good night’s sleep last night? And did we make all gone with our breakfast smoothie? Where were you last night? My favorite security guard looked the other way again and covered for me while I slipped out for a little night air. And where’d you go? Oh, you know, this way and that. Did your, uh…walk take you anywhere near the pier? I don’t know what you mean. Word is someone’s sunk a hook into britt westbourne last night. Oh, dear. How is she? She’s dead. I don’t know how I couldn’t have seen it. I mean, I must be blind. It was right in front of my face. What was? Not what. Who. It was you.

Oh. Hi, honey. What are you doing here? Well, um… trina called. Said she’s worried about you. Said you’re having a hard time shaking the news about britt’s death. It’s just so tragic and unbelievable. And [Sighs, chuckles] She wasn’t just my boss. I-I respected her. She was my friend. I know. It is tragic, baby. Look, I want you to know, right here and now, that I will stand by your side. I will hold your hand at britt’s memorial service, okay? I’m here for you. Because… this morning when I woke up, I watched you sleep. And, baby, I was just… I was overcome with gratitude for you and for us. Look, life goes on. Just has to. So, I went to the florist and I said, “help me. Please help me with something that will give us hope for the future.” And… what is that, babe?

[ Chuckles ] That is a calathea. The florist says it symbolizes new beginnings. Well, that gave me hope. Because you and i are a new beginning. Britt got nicked by the hook and — and — and the venom poisoned her. So she died on the night of her first birthday party. It’s tragic. It’s hard to make sense of it. Yep. W-w-why would the hook target her? From what I understand, the attacker was targeting someone else. Britt stepped in and saved one life, only to lose her own. Yeah, but she was a doctor. She was destined to save so many more lives. Her poor mother.

[ Sighs deeply ] Does dr. Obrecht know? Britt died in her mother’s arms. At least she wasn’t alone. This is just so unbelievable. I mean… you know, as smart and as beautiful as britt was, she… life never seemed to give her a break. That sounds like someone else I know. Thank you both for — for meeting me here. Um… I had — I talked to the funeral home and they need something for britt to wear.

[ Sighs ] And aunt liesl, she’s not up to it, of course. And honestly, I’m not sure I am, either. Did anyone talk to the police? Are they okay with us going to her room? Y-yeah. I talked to mac and he said it was fine because britt was not the intended target. She… she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wrong for her, but she did manage to save someone else’s life. Britt would have loved to hear people talk about her as a hero.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] And I could just s-see her lapping it up. Making all the haters eat every nasty word they ever said to her.

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Voice breaking ] Why isn’t she here? My whole life I was always a loner. I didn’t make many friends, and then to meet your bff in your 30s… how can I live in a world without her?

[ Sobbing ] Hey. Remember the last time we saw her? How hard she pushed for us to become friends? Let’s honor her in that way. And — and let’s spare liesl from having to pick out her last outfit. You’re right. Let’s do this. For britt. Packing up britt’s office is not something that needs to happen right now. Well, on the contrary, it can’t wait. Do you want me to call scott? No, he’s busy taking care of the arrangements, dealing with the press, attending to all the details. The least I can do is collect britta’s things and keep them safe. Even if I couldn’t keep my own daughter safe. Someone had to look out for our daughter. Protect her from all those people out there trying to destroy her. And no offense, lover, but you’re not exactly the man you used to be. Stuck in the chair like that. And you still can’t seem to hook the right fish. I never said I was perfect! And…when you bat .300 in baseball, even if they’re not all home runs, you still get into the hall of fame. That’s me. Besides, I’m gonna make it right this time. How about you make it right, now? Like, how, oh, so wise one? Confess. So our daughter can go free.

[ Recorder beeps ] Is that really necessary? I’ve already admitted that esme’s carrying my baby. What happened there? Esme and spencer break up, and — and you what? You’re just there to pick up the pieces? I’m not a predator, if that’s what you’re saying. Okay, when’s the last time you saw esme? Must have been trina’s trial. Did you know she was pregnant at the time? Of course not. So when did you find out? Like, before or after she allegedly went on the run? Where are you going with this? Where am I going with this?

[ Mumbles ] The problem I’m having is if esme’s the killer, sure, I can see her getting the drop on diane. Maybe, maybe she nicks britt with the hook dipped in venom. But I don’t see her taking down a military veteran like brando or a cop — cabrera. Especially if she’s seven months pregnant. What are you saying? I’m saying if esme is the killer, I think she’s getting help. My memory begins when I woke up in this hospital bed. I mean, being pregnant? How far along? Seven months. You really don’t remember how this happened? Or who the father is? I’m sorry, but no. The… the police say that I’ve done terrible things, but I-I-I don’t remember any of it. I mean, revenge porn? I-I don’t even remember my own name or — or what i like for breakfast! All right. It’s okay. I think I know someone who can help you.

[ Sighs deeply ]

[ Knock on door ]

[ Door opens ] Hello. Wait. I… I know you. I-I-I remember that face. But… I know who you are.

It’s empty. So is the closet. Okay. Thank you. Thank you so much for the info. All right. So, apparently britt had some of her things shipped on her birthday, I’m guessing, to wherever she was going on vacation. Her entire wardrobe? The front desk also said that she arranged to have a bunch of her clothes delivered to G.H. Charities. It’s almost like britt knew she wasn’t coming back. No, no, no way. She had just thrown herself this huge birthday party. Yeah. Yeah. But why have us plan it and insist that we become friends? When we’re so obviously not. Yeah, but the point is, britt wanted us to be. It was really important to her. It’s almost like she knew we would need each other. Wait. Her will. She said she’d just written one and was leaving everything to me. I mean, who — who does that at her age? And then plans a vacation out of nowhere? Not to mention her giving cody the heave-ho. It’s like she was burning all of her bridges. Yeah, but why? And why couldn’t she share that with me? We were friends. Best friends, but… I guess I never really knew britt at all. Okay. All right. I want you to sit, both of you. Why? Because… I know something that you two don’T. But you should. I promise you, no one will take anything that’s in here without checking with me first. Okay? And I-I’ll make sure that everything that belongs to the hospital is returned and that everything that belonged to britt will get to you. Thank you, austin. And thank you for your birthdaypresent for britta. It meant so much to her. Seeing that photo montage of britta and the people in her life — that was proof. It was proof that her life was worthwhile. I think every life is worthwhile. My britta was loved, wasn’t she? Yes, she was. Of course. She really was. Love, real love was in short supply when britta was growing up. I wonder if she ever knew how much she was loved when she saw those faces on the screen. I don’t think we’re ever really gonna know for sure. But I’m gonna choose to believe that it changed her mind. About what? About leaving town for good. What do you mean, for good? She was just going on a vacation. That’s what she wanted everyone to believe. Yeah. She was going away to die, wasn’t she? Esme, this is dr. Kevin collins. Doctor, um, yes, tha– that’s right. I-I remember that you’re a doctor now. Um, but that name. What did you say your name was again? Kevin collins. And what kind of doctor are you? I’m a psychiatrist. Do you know what that means? I lost my memory. I’m not stupid.

[ Chuckles ] You’re a shrink. Are you here to pick my brain? I’m here to listen. Nurse baldwin. Uh, uh, that’s your name? Baldwin? Elizabeth baldwin. I’ll be in the hallway if you need me. May I? So, esme. Is there anything that you’d like to ask me or anything you’d like to tell me? You have a very trustworthy face. And a familiar one, apparently. It’s like… I know you, but… …I-it’s just outside of my reach and I can’t put my finger on it. Have we met before? Actually, our paths have crossed. I’m related to spencer by marriage. Who’s spencer? Well, maybe you remember his father, nikolas cassadine? I’m sorry, but, no, it doesn’t ring a bell. Anyone else we would have had in common? As a matter of fact, yes. You know my twin brother, ryan. So that’s your plan? Throw me to the wolves? Look, the next time I hook another target, the cops are gonna realize that our daughter is innocent. That’s a vast oversimplification of a complex problem. Not if you do it right. Ouch! Ow! What happened to you? Let’s just say I took one for the team last night. Are you badly hurt? Oh. Like you care.

[ Groans ] It’s — it’s not like I don’t share your motivation. It’s, uh… it’s your methods I have an issue with. Oh. That’s the thanks I get? You do your very best for your child. You give her your whole heart and soul. And when it turns out that not only is she wanted for murder, but she’s also become public enemy number one, I did what every good mother would do, and I tried to set things right. Trust me, our daughter will thank me. Not if the rest of our family has to pay a price. What are you blathering about now? Are you suggesting that I’m esme’s accomplice? I’m suggesting that, uh, esme’s the key, whether or not she’s a killer. I don’t follow. You don’t follow? Well, she’s seven months pregnant. I’m right on that, right? Okay. So how does she go from hiding to on the run to maybe killing people, maybe not killing people all by herself? Someone’s looking out for her. Someone’s helping her. And who would have more reason to do that than the father of her baby?

I love the calathea. But what I love most of all is your thoughtfulness. And I didn’t think I could love you any more.

[ Laughs ] Well, you are welcome. And I love you so much, baby. It feels like, um… ever since trina was arrested, I can’t stop thinking about all the bad things. And our family, we’ve been through a lot over the past year, right? Um, but I feel like we’ve come through it stronger. Trina was acquitted. You and your father — your relationship is better than ever. And aunt stella, she accepted me.

[ Both laugh ] Thank goodness. Right? Yeah. No, um… things are going good with trina and me. You know she told me she loved me the other day? She did? Oh, my god, honey. That was a major, major accomplishment. Yeah. It is. Oh, my god. In a few weeks, I am gonna walk down the aisle and I am gonna be your wife. And, honey, I can’t wait. Mm. If you think about it, you and britt had a lot in common. I’m not at all surprised you two hit it off. Yeah, um… yeah, we had a connection. But, um… I wasn’t straight with her. Britt had something that I wanted and I thought that I could ma– [ Sighs ] You know, it doesn’t really matter what I thought. Truth is, I used her until she caught on and then rightfully kicked me to the curb, which was a smart decision on her part. Except now she’ll never know. Brit will never know what? Um, that I learned too late, that all I really wanted was her. For some time, britt knew that she had a ticking bomb inside her. What does that mean? Well, it means that she inherited something from her father. Britt had huntington’s disease. Oh, my god. When I was working at G.H., I saw people with huntington’S. It took a terrible toll on their lives. Well, why didn’t britt tell us? Why — why’d she face this alone? No. Well, she wasn’t alone. She wasn’T. She had her mom, and scott knew. Yeah, but why wouldn’t she tell me o-or brad? Well, she didn’t actually tell me. It was aunt liesl. And aunt liesl told me when she — she was just overwhelmed with everything that britt was facing. She had to talk to someone. Wait a minute. Austin knew, too, didn’t he? The birthday gift he gave her? The photos of her life? That’s why he did it. Yeah. Seeing all the people that she loves gave her courage.

[ Sniffles ] At my worst moment when the baby switch came out, britt didn’t walk away from me, and I never would have walked away from her.

[ Voice breaking ] I didn’t need her to be brave. I just need her in my life. I still do.

[ Exhales sharply ] We all do. Liesl, I’m really sorry that you have to hear this from me. I-I-I begged britt to open up to you, but she just [Sighs] She couldn’t, I guess. I don’t know. I mean, the only reason that I know that she was leaving town for good was I happened to catch her in a particularly vulnerable moment. You don’t understand. I’ve never been prouder of mein britta.

[ Exhales sharply ] You see, my relationship with britta was… complicated, to say the least. There were times she hated me and times that I felt she betrayed me. But somehow, despite all that, we — we found our way back together, not just as mother and daughter, but as good friends.

[ Laughs ] It’s just like her to spare the rest of us and sail off into the sunset alone. But you said she came back for us? Why? What changed her mind? You’re sure you don’t remember my twin brother? He’s kind of hard to forget. Is he as kind as you are, doctor?

[ Chuckles ] Well, I guess you could say he’s being kind at the moment because he has no other choice. You actually used to take care of him. I did. Was I a nurse? Mm. No. You, uh — you had an internship. Elizabeth: The patient is in with dr. Collins. Not for long. Martin? I’m in the middle of counseling a patient. Yeah, well, that’s the problem. One man’s counseling is another man’s third degree. I’m afraid I have to ask you to cease and desist immediately. On whose authority? By the authority of the superior court of port charles county. This poor, unfortunate soul may be your patient, but as of… one hour and 15 minutes ago, she’s my client.

Can I, uh, leave it to you two to…

[Voice breaking] Try to find something for britt to wear? Absolutely. Don’t worry about it. We’ve got it under — under control. Okay. I’m counting on you. You’re strong. I love you. I love you. What do we do now? I was kinda hoping you could tell me. Austin: Liesl, you’re a doctor. I’m a doctor. And we know better than most that every life ends. So i t’s how you chooseto live your life that matters. And if britt knew that huntington’s was bringing her close to the end, let’s consider her last week. She delivered a breach baby on christmas eve. She threw an epic party surrounded by people who loved her. People she loved. Affection. Support. Love. And her final act was to save someone’s life. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m incredibly sad that she’s gone. I am. But if you have to exit this world, that is a pretty badass way to go. I, uh… I appreciate your kind words, austin, I-I do. But… my daughter is gone. Ryan: Oh, that’s rich. You spend a lifetime ignoring that esme even exists, and now you’re what — joan crawford? Joan crawford? I like wire hangers. But what’s this you’re saying about the rest of our family? Wouldn’t you like to know? Ryan, don’t push me. Is something the matter with our baby girl?

[ Inhales sharply ] Well, that depends. Do you knit? I mean, not big things. Just, like, little baby booties and things? I mean, the little one could probably use protection from the cold winter wind. Are you saying — yes. Our baby… is having a baby.

[ Gasps ] I’m not gonna sit here while you go on a fishing expedition. All right. Well, uh… I have a feeling I’m gonna have to ask you more questions at some point, so don’t leave town. You know what I think… what’s that? …Detective falconeri? Mm-hmm? I think you got nothing. And if I got nothing, why are you getting so angry? Okay. Hello, esme. My name is martin grey, and I am your attorney. Try not to hate me. I was assigned by judge holloway. Um, I have no idea if I have any money or any way to pay you. Oh, no, no, that’s okay. This is a pro bono case. That means, as far as you’re concerned, it’s absolutely free. The only thing you have to do is exactly what I tell you. Starting with do not talk to anyone. Not even the doctors? Especially the doctors. Just doing my job. Far be it from me to argue with a judge.

[ Monitor beeping ] Okay, my young friend. First order of business is probably to get you to eat something. Even if it is hospital food. Uh, nurse baldwin, if you don’t mind, I think I’d like to confer with my client in private. If that’s okay? Oh, oh, please don’t make her go. She’s been so good to me. Young lady , for the time being,the only person in this town that’s good to you is yours truly. Everyone is being so sketchy about what I’ve done. Acting like it’s not this revenge porn thing. You’ve done nothing until proven guilty. Guilty of what? Well, ms. Prince, it’s murder in the first degree.

I can’t believe it! I’m gonna be a grandmother! Franco never had kids of his own. Neither did steven and lars. This is my first grandbaby. Maybe it’s not too late to have a family of our own. There could even be a place for ava. Oh! Dare to dream! But a baby? This is so exciting. I — I’m gonna make up for lost time and be there when that baby’s born. Right there in the room to support my baby girl. You do know that’s impossible, right? I’ll just speed up the timeline. Now you’re talking. Allow me to help. Talk about impossible. Just let mama bear finish the work that she’s begun. And papa bear will sit tight until baby bear and lil baby bear in the oven are free. I need to prepare. When do you plan to attack? The minute that my friendly guard is back on duty. Don’t worry. Mama will take care of everything. Kevin. I thought you’d still be interviewing esme. Session was cut short when her lawyer showed up. Wow. Anyone I know? Martin grey. Martin grey? Wow! For someone who showed up with nothing, not even her memory, esme sure has friends in high places. About esme’s memory. You think she’s faking it? I don’t understand. What’s wrong with her? Should we call for her doctor? I got this. Would you step out and give me a minute? Gladly. Thanks for nothing, judge holloway. Who do I gotta bribe to get off of this? I swear it wasn’t even my turn in the rotation. Don’t blame the judge. It wasn’t his doing. Oh, my god. It was you, wasn’t it? What’d you do? Pull some strings to get me assigned to this crazy case? I did. Why? Because esme is carrying my baby. Who better to trust with her case than family? Esme, if you’re faking, I’ll know. So don’t even try. You know, when my marriage ended with jordan… mm. …I never thought I’d get married again. In fact, I was so down on the institution altogether. But even though living with you has been a joy, I just want to make everything official. I’m so excited to take these vows and become your husband. I wasn’t gonna tell you this. Oh. No, no, it’s okay. But, um, I was at wyndham’s the other day. Yeah? And I saw these little towels, and they have a little “his and hers” on them. And I almost got it, but I was like, no, no, no, no. It’s just too cheesy. That’s not cheesy. I think you should have bought them.

[ Chuckles ] Look, I don’t care if they said his or hers, or husband and wife. I want whoever comes into our house to know how absolutely proud we are to be each other’s significant other. Okay. I’m gonna go buy those towels. Go buy those towels. Go buy the towels. Come here, baby.

All that’s left is an empty hotel room. God, she must have felt so alone and so scared.

[ Exhales sharply ] If I only knew. Hey, you heard nina. It’s the way britt wanted it. I don’t care what she wanted! I want her, the one and only britch, my best friend in this whole lousy and messed-up world! And now she’s just gone, just like that. Without so much as a goodbye! And now I’m the one left all alone to go shopping for this stupid funeral get-up.

[ Breathing heavily ] You know what? Don’t worry about it. I’ve got it handled. This is gonna be britt’s last look ever.

[ Sniffles ] I’m not letting you choose some boring dress at wyndham’S. Well, if you think I’m letting you dress her in some fast fashion trash, you’ve got another thing coming.

[ Sighs ] Come on, maxie. She needs something with style and — and impact. Maxie: Style? Yes! I would like to spend some more time observing esme and consult with the neurologist that dr. Ashford brought in. But my initial assessment… is that esme has suffered significant memory loss. Permanent? No way to tell. But if so, we may never know where she’s been or who’s been taking care of her. Well, at seven months pregnant, esme was in no condition to be able to take out an officer or kill britt westbourne on the pier last night. So the more pressing question is, who really is the hook killer? I don’t believe that britt’s murderer will go unpunished. I don’t know if you know this, but the police have a suspect, here in G.H. Under guard 24/7. All I remember is waking up in here. I-I haven’t killed anyone. I couldn’t! You do believe me, don’t you? It’s okay. The best thing you can do for yourself is just rest. Nurse baldwin. Yes? You do believe me, right? Nikolas, my priority is finding lucy. I haven’t got time for this. Hey, you may have been assigned the case pro bono, but I will double your normal fee. The mother of my child, she must be kept safe, not hounded by the police until she gives birth. And then what? Triple your normal fee.

[ Scoffs ] Deal. Esme is in good hands with uncle martin. I am so happy we had this little talk. I will just find another hook, and then we are back in business. Uh, what happened to the first hook? Ugh, it got snagged. But don’t worry. There’s no way they could trace it back to me. Just let me do what I do best. And you just look forward to the happy day when we’re all reunited as a family. The three of us! You miscounted by two. There’s ava…

[ Scoffs ] …And… oh, and the little baby bear in the oven makes five. That’s it. I always knew you were a softy. Hey. Grandpa. All right.

[ Door closes ]

[ Monitor beeping ] Thank you, felicia, for coming out here in person to break the news about britt. Thank mac. It was his idea. He would have come himself if he wasn’t so busy on the case.

[ Voice breaking ] Can I hug you? Yeah. Okay.

[ Sighs ] Okay. All right.

[ Door opens, closes ] Hey. Aunt liesl, I got your text. Aunt liesl! I can’t sleep. Can you give me some thing stronger? Yes. That can be arranged.

Sally: I know this is last-minute, but I really need to see the doctor right away. Yeah. Yeah, I’ll be there. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. I’ll see you soon.

[ Sighs ]

Adam: Is everything okay?

[ Mug thuds ]

Abby: Good morning.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hi.

Devon: Good morning, pretty lady.

Abby: Ooh.

Devon: I got you some coffee.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: You’re very welcome. I had the, uh, nanny take dominic down to the kiddie gym so he can get his steps in for the day.

Abby: Oh, you should have woken me up. I love watching him play there. He loves that big green ball.

Devon: Yeah, he does.

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Devon: I know. It’s very cute. I like when he walks around on those little padded mats until he tumbles over.

Abby: Yeah. Well, we should go together sometime.

Devon: Yeah, we will. Just thought you’d like to sleep in this morning since you probably never get to.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: Yeah. How you feeling?

Abby: About last night?

Devon: Yes.

Abby: Um…good. Yeah, um… I mean, I guess I have to admit that I felt a little hint of guilt when I was walking down those stairs.

Devon: Well, we weren’t betraying anybody this time.

Abby: I know. It’s just, my divorce is so fresh, and…I mean, this is brand-new.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: But when I look at you and I hear you talk about dominic… I know I’m in the right place. I feel happier and lighter than I have in a long time.

Devon: Well, I’m very happy to hear that ’cause I feel the exact same way.

Abby: [ Inhales deeply ]

Lily: Jill, I’m very excited. This is definitely the right move.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Well, I will let devon and audra know, and I will chat with you later. Bye.

Audra: Sounds like good news.

Lily: Yep. Jill pulled the trigger. Moving forward with the ipo.

Audra: Excellent. We are back on track.

Lily: Yes. This is a huge step.

Audra: It certainly is. This is gonna be a huge success for all of us in unimaginable ways.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Kyle: I appreciate your dedication to the job, but there’s really no reason for you to be here. Maybe you should take a leave of absence until we’ve dealt with stark.

Diane: There is no place I’d rather be. I refuse to let him ruin every aspect of my amazing new life. Oh, good morning, summer.

Summer: Hi. We need to talk.

Ashley: Where are you going?

Jack: Upstairs. I need to get ready for work.

Ashley: Mm-hmm. You gonna ignore me like you did last night?

Jack: I didn’t ignore you.

Ashley: Yeah, you did. I wanted to talk to you about you and diane kissing, and you just kind of blew me off.

Jack: I didn’t have the time or the energy for it. The truth is, I don’t now. If you’ll excuse me…

Ashley: Please —

Jack: …I need to get to the office.

Ashley: Please don’t go anywhere until we have a chance to speak. Please?

Jack: It doesn’t make any sense, ash. I do not understand your continued vendetta against diana.

Ashley: And I don’t understand your complete denial of her history.

Jack: Yes, she has a past. We all do. But since she’s gotten back to genoa city, she has done nothing to you.

Ashley: That’s true, but only because she hasn’t been given the opportunity. If she found out she had leverage over me, she would not hesitate to use it.

Jack: That is absolutely absurd.

Ashley: Okay. Look, I am trying here, alright? I really am. And I’ve decided that i understand that you would want your son to reconnect with his mother.

Jack: Yes.

Ashley: Okay. I get that. But you have let diane back into your life, jack. And from what I saw right here last night, she’s in far too deep.

Jack: I don’t know what you think you saw, but it’s really none of your business. Whether you like it or not, diane is part of this family.

Ashley: No, I don’t like it! And as far as I’m concerned, she’s not part of this family.

Jack: She is kyle’s mother. She is harrison’s grandmother.

Ashley: I know. I just can’t get the image out of my mind of your son as a little boy crying himself to sleep because he thought his mother was dead.

Jack: Diane has changed. Kyle has forgiven her. As far as I’m concerned, that makes her welcome in our home.

Ashley: I can’t forgive her. I can’t forgive her. Does that make me a bad person? I don’t think so. I don’T. Given the pain she’s caused this family, I think that viper deserves permanent exile from this house.

Jack: Wow. Isn’t it ironic that you, of all people, are opposed to a viper coming into this house?

Devon: I do need to get to the office soon, but what do you have going on today?

Abby: Well, I have to meet noah at his club.

Devon: Yeah?

Abby: But first I have to go home and change because I can’t be seen in the same outfit two days in a row.

Devon: That’s very true. You’ll have the whole town talking about it. It would be shameful.

Abby: Well, I don’t know if it would be shameful, but i think people would think it was very weird.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: So, yes, that means i have to go home.

Devon: Is there a problem with going home?

Abby: It doesn’t feel like home. I mean, it’s the chancellor mansion. I’m no longer a chancellor. I feel like I’m an intruder.

Devon: Yeah. No, I get that. I do. There’s a lot of changes happening right now. It’s gonna take a minute for people to adjust to it. That’s all. I think as long as we focus on dominic, though, and make sure that this transition is as painless as possible for him, we’ll be alright.

Abby: Yeah. I couldn’t agree more.

Devon: Yeah, but you can take things slow. Just decide what’s best for you and dominic and take one step at a time. You don’t have to rush into any of this.

Sally: What do you mean, “is everything okay?”

Adam: I don’t know where the confusion lies. Those are three pretty simple words.

Sally: Were you listening in on my call? ‘Cause I thought we came to the understanding that you were gonna butt out of my business. So, how much did you overhear?

Adam: I didn’t hear a word. I saw you huddled over here. It seemed like you were hiding from someone. Were you?

Sally: No. I just wanted some privacy.

Adam: Here at crimson lights? Yeah, sure. I mean, no one ever comes here, except the entire town.

Sally: Okay, well, I just needed my tea. I needed to make a call. My tea had the priority. So, you know, why don’t you just mind your own business?

Adam: Okay. Just worried about you, sally. You look tense and a little tired.

Sally: [ Scoffs ] Well, I didn’t ask for your opinion of my appearance.

Adam: Are you sure that you don’t need a sympathetic ear? I mean, maybe you would feel better if you told me what was keeping you up at night. What?

Sally: Don’t you really want to ask who is keeping me up at night?

Adam: I didn’t mean anything by it. And I’m certainly not asking who you’re sleeping with.

Sally: I don’t believe you.

Adam: Look, you said that we’re done. So we’re done. I get it. We’re both moving on from our halcyon days at newman media. Although I will always remember them fondly.

Sally: [ Inhales deeply ]

[ Clears throat ] You want to know what is keeping me up at night? It’s the idea of launching my own business. Starting from scratch is anxiety-inducing.

Adam: Yeah. It is. But I can’t wait to see what you come up with next. I know I could use some help with some interior design, so i can’t wait for you and chloe to open your doors.

Sally: Thank you.

Adam: Mm-hmm. I know whatever you put your mind to, it will be a success.

Sally: What are you up to?

Adam: What do you mean?

Sally: Well, you’re just being so nice and laying it on a little thick, even though that’s not really like you. So, what do you after?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Nothing. I’m sorry that I interrupted your morning, okay? I’ll be on my way.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Adam. Adam, wait. Look, I’m sorry, okay? I forget sometimes that you can be nice just to be nice.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Well, I have given you a lot of reasons to doubt my intentions.

Sally: Yeah. Well, we’ve been very civil lately, and I don’t want to lose that connection just because I’m in a mood this morning.

Adam: Well, you’re entitled to be in a mood whenever you want.

Sally: Yes, I know, but i shouldn’t take it out on you when you haven’t done anything wrong. I just have a lot on my plate right now. You know? Maybe a little too much.

Daniel: [ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone vibrating ]

[ Cellphone thuds ]

[ Sniffs, clears throat ]

Abby: Daniel?

Daniel: Abby.

Abby: Hi.

Daniel: God, don’t you look terrific.

Abby: Oh, my gosh! Thank you so much. Ah! It’s so good to see you. I heard you were back in town.

Daniel: Yeah. Yeah, I’m glad we ran into each other.

Abby: Yeah. Um, well, I’m supposed to meet noah, but I don’t see him, so maybe we could catch up if you’re not too busy?

Daniel: No. Yeah. No, not at all. And at this moment, I would actually welcome the intrusion. So, please have a seat.

Abby: Thanks.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Abby: So, I heard you’re working for chancellor-winters. How great is that?

Daniel: Yeah. Uh, I thought it was pretty impressive. But I guess it’s just a job, right?

Abby: Come on. It’s a huge responsibility. And you’re so creative. You’re gonna be terrific.

Daniel: Thank you. I am looking forward to just jumping into the deep end.

Abby: So, where are you saying?

Daniel: Downstairs, at the hotel.

Abby: You, heather, and lucy in a hotel indefinitely?

Daniel: Well, they aren’t with me right now.

Abby: Oh. When are they coming?

Daniel: You know, I can’t really answer that right now.

Lily: Okay, we definitely have to time this announcement properly because if we do it too early, then we risk losing momentum with the investors, or I think that we can open ourselves up to price manipulations.

Audra: Yeah, but too late, and we might not be able to generate any momentum at all.

Lily: Yeah.

Audra: I’ll run the numbers and find the optimal day to make the announcement.

Lily: I have no doubt that you will.

[ Laughs ]

Devon: Hello.

Lily: Hey.

Devon: Hey, hey. What do you guys seem excited about?

Lily: Well, jill is ready to move forward with the ipo. It’s happening.

[ Laughs ]

Devon: It’s happening. It’s happening without me having a say?

Lily: What are you talking about? You knew about this plan all along.

Devon: I knew about your plan. It’s not my plan.

[ Cellphone chimes ] What’s that?

Audra: Oh, it’s just, um, a text. Sorry. I will mute it. I’m actually gonna step outside and give you two the room.

Lily: Devon, you knew this ipo was happening all along. I mean, this is not some secret meeting that jill and I had. We had a call scheduled, and we chatted about it and decided this is what’s best for the company.

Devon: Yeah, but you made that decision without me.

Lily: No one is trying to exclude you. So, look, if you want, call jill and ask her some questions. But I’m sorry. I’ve heard your argument about keeping the company private, and I don’t agree. I don’t understand why you want to limit the growth and success of chancellor-winters.

Kyle: Sorry we’re late. I wanted to take my mother to breakfast someplace off the beaten path where we wouldn’t have to worry about stark seeing us before I came in, and she insisted on coming into the office, too.

Diane: What can I say? I love my job.

Kyle: So, uh, what did you want to talk about?

Summer: You know what? It was, uh, nothing urgent. Mariah just wanted me to remind you about that, uh, personal time that she’s taking off.

Kyle: Oh, right. Uh, she and tessa are traveling to meet a potential birth mother.

Diane: Ah, that is so wonderful. They must be so excited. I’m sure they are going to make amazing mothers.

Summer: You barely even know them.

Diane: But we work together. And I saw how special their bond was at tessa’s photo shoot.

Summer: I have to pull some files from jack’s office. Excuse me.

[ Cellphone vibrating ]

Diane: Hello, jeremy. Why give your family just any eggs

Diane: Why don’t I make the arrangements, and then I’ll text you the time and place? Okay. See you soon.

Kyle: What did he want?

Diane: He wants to meet tonight.

Kyle: So, is this how it’s gonna be? You’re at his beck and call like a servant?

Diane: Kyle, we discussed this. I’m the one who’s working him. This is all part of my plan.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] I need to tell dad.

Diane: No, no, no. I appreciate your concern, but, please, I don’t want jack following me like he did last time. I can do this on my own.

Abby: I heard you were in town, and I just assumed that heather and lucy were with you. I’m — I’m sorry.

Daniel: There’s no need for you to apologize. It’s just uncertain when they’ll get here.

Abby: Yeah, I’m sure they’re busy with work and school. But, hey, in the meantime, if you want to meet the happiest baby in the world, I would love to introduce you to dominic.

Daniel: Well, I’d love to meet him. I miss that age, you know? It goes by too quickly.

Abby: It’s the best. You know, he’s not even 2 yet, and I find myself feeling nostalgic about things he did last year. But, um, maybe it’s more than just dominic. I don’t know if you heard, but, um, chance and I — we split up.

Daniel: Oh. No. I’m sorry.

Abby: Yeah, we tried to make it work, but I guess it was just inevitable. So now I am trying to just appreciate the time that we had together and just move forward.

Daniel: Speaking of moving forward, um, I actually have to meet with lily.

Abby: Oh.

Daniel: I’m really glad we ran into each other. You know, we’re gonna have to get together soon, catch up a little bit more. And I’d love to meet dominic. Um…you have an amazing day.

Abby: You too. Bye.

[ Sighs ]

Ashley: What do you have to say, jack? Just spit it out.

Jack: Oh, I think you know. I didn’t imagine you and tucker kissing outside the front door

Ashley: Oh, so what? You have no idea what’s going on with tucker and me.

Jack: And you have no idea what’s going on with diane because you’ve made no effort to understand her. You and your allies have been small and petty and mean, and your hatred for her has no foundation.

Ashley: I disagree. If there’s anything in the known universe that has a foundation, it’s my hatred for diane. Sorry.

Jack: No, you hate the old diane. She has changed.

Ashley: “Changed.”

Jack: I have been trying to tell you this for months.

Ashley: Okay, just settle down, alright? When has diane ever been overtly evil? Not often, right? I mean, she’s subtle. She’s charming. She can act like she’s your best friend and then turn around and kick your legs out from under you. She’s sneaky and manipulative, and she hasn’t changed, jack. For whatever reason, you have bought this “poor, helpless me” routine of hers. And the one thing you know — diane has never been and will never be helpless.

Audra: What do you want?

Tucker: I want to know when or if this chancellor-winters ipo is actually gonna happen. Snails move faster than this public offering.

Audra: Don’t blame me for that.

Tucker: Who else is responsible? I literally gave you one job.

Audra: So let me do it. Okay? I was in the middle of a meeting about it when you texted me, demanding I come see you right away.

Tucker: Alright. Then how’s it going?

Audra: Jill and lily — you know, they want to get the ball rolling, but your son, devon, seems determined to fight them on it.

Tucker: Okay, so, you —

[ Sighs ] Then you convince him that it’s a good idea.

Audra: I’m not sure I can. You know, everything that happened with nate has made him paranoid, and you and I both know he’s right.

Tucker: No, he’s not! What I am doing is in his best interest.

Audra: Okay, then —

Tucker: No, audra. I am going to work side by side with my son. That’s all I want. Do you understand that?

Audra: Then maybe you take his frame of mind into account and come up with another way to make that happen. In the meantime, I’m gonna get back to that office, you know, before devon and lily get suspicious about why their ipo expert decided to disappear in the middle of an important conversation!

[ Door slams ]

Devon: Lily, you know that I’ve never supported this ipo move — because we’d be giving up too much autonomy. The whole reason that we merged our companies together is so we can run a corporation as a family. And if we go public, yeah, we’re gonna be making more money, but we’re not gonna be able to be making the decisions that matter for our company. And that’s not worth it to me.

Lily: Devon, if we sell stock, we could double or triple our valuation.

Devon: The company is doing fine. We’re making money, okay? That’s not the most important thing. And, yes, I know nate is gone, but what he almost put us through is exactly the kind of thing that can happen to companies when they go public. So, what happened to us taking time and waiting to make this decision?

Lily: Because sooner is better, and jill and I want to move forward with this. And her vote is equal to both of ours. And I agree with her. So, I’m sorry, but she and i have the majority.

Devon: Is that right? Well, then why even ask my opinion in the first place? Hell.

Lily: Look, if you can provide some legitimate reason as to why you want to stop this, then we will listen. But right now, all you have is some general vague concern. And I’m sorry, but it’s not enough.

Devon: It’s not vague. It’s not vague. And I’m never gonna support this move. It’s as simple as that.

Lily: Nothing about this is simple, okay? There are a lot of moving parts, and I really hope that I will have your support because i don’t have nate and I don’t have billy. But if I have to walk this path alone, then I will.

Devon: Cool. Then I guess I will be spending my time finding a legitimate reason to stop you from making this move.

Lily: Okay, well, you are welcome to it. But I actually have a lot of work I have to get done.

[ Sighs ]

[ Pen clatters ]

Adam: Come on. I’m a good listener. You can tell me anything, whatever’s on your mind.

Sally: I would love to. But I’m just not sure.

Adam: What does that mean? What exactly aren’t you sure about?

Sally: Anything. You know, at this moment, I’m — I’m just not sure about anything. It just always seems like things are so difficult for me. And, yeah, maybe that’s my own fault and I create my own problems, but — I don’t know — once, just once I would love for things to be cut and dried. You know, “here’s a problem? “Oh, yeah. There’s an easy solution.”

Adam: Well, I can’t pretend to know what you’re talking about, but I think I’ve seen you in enough difficult situations to know that you’ll figure it out. You know? I’m sorry that you’re feeling overwhelmed. You really do deserve a break. But by the same token, you can handle anything.

Sally: Why are you being so nice to me?

Adam: I think you know. When a cold comes on strong,

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Meet febreze’s miracle spray:

Sally: I have no idea why you’re being so nice to me. What is your angle?

Adam: Sally, there’s no angle.

Sally: Okay, then what did you mean by “you should know”? What is it that I’m supposed to know?

Adam: [ Sighs ] All I meant was you will always be very special to me. We have a connection.

Sally: That’s it? For real?

Adam: Yes. What more could there be? And I meant what I said by having a sympathetic ear. It wasn’t that long ago that you and I — we could discuss anything. So, if you ever need anyone to talk to you, just give me a call.

Sally: Okay. Yeah, I’ll think about that. Oh, I — I have to go to this appointment. Adam. Thank you.

Kyle: I know this is part of your plan, but I don’t like the idea of you going on a date with a criminal like stark.

Diane: It’s not a date.

Kyle: Okay, well, whatever you want to call this meeting. Dad and I should be close by, just in case. You know, in fact, at the risk of sounding overprotective, dad and I should be dealing with this, not you.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Look, I can take care of myself. I am as tough and wily as people have accused me of being. I just don’t have to use those skills as much these days, but i haven’t lost my touch. Believe me, I’ve got this under control.

Devon: Hey, man. Is abby here yet? No? Thank you.

Tucker: Hey. Devon.

Devon: Hey.

Tucker: How are you?

Devon: Alright. How you doing, man?

Tucker: Were you taking your phone out to call me to invite me to breakfast?

Devon: [ Chuckling ] Yeah. Yes, I was. How’d you guess? Beat me to it.

Tucker: You okay? You seem like you’re carrying some stress.

Devon: Oh, yeah? Well, that’s, uh — that’s a good eye you got. I’m just, uh, dealing with this ipo thing at work. It’s got me reconsidering the chancellor-winters merger altogether. That’s all.

Tucker: Oh. Well, sit down. Sit down.

Devon: Sure.

Tucker: So, what’s going on? What’s the problem?

Devon: Uh… I don’t really want to get into it too deep with you, but, um, I just — I lost some autonomy in the merger, and I’m set to lose even more the way things are headed.

Tucker: Right.

Devon: I’ll be lucky to have a say my own company.

Tucker: Yeah. I know that feeling. ‘Cause you want to grow the company, but you have to give up some control to do it, right?

Devon: Absolutely.

Tucker: Yeah. Which doesn’t seem quite fair in this instance because you and neil built it.

Devon: Yeah. Yeah. That’s exactly how I feel.

Tucker: Well, if it’s such a concern for you, maybe you should consider taking hamilton-winters back from chancellor and run the business on your own again. I know somebody who could help you. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Devon: Yeah, no, I said this before. I don’t want you getting involved with my business, tucker.

Tucker: No, no, no, no, no. Please don’t misinterpret me. I’m not trying to stick my nose where it doesn’t belong. You certainly have the resources to reacquire the company on your own. Uh, in fact, all you’d —

[ Sighs, chuckles ] Listen to me. I’m sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong. Sorry. I just want to help.

Devon: I know you do. I appreciate you wanting to help, but I’m not looking for advice on this.

Tucker: Understood. It’s just that I haven’t always been there for you, and since this is my area of expertise, i thought the least I could do is counsel you. But, you know, you’re an astute businessman in your own right. You don’t need to listen to other people. At the same time [Chuckles] This is the issue we’re discussing currently. You want autonomy and you want to be in control of your destiny. You should not be constricted by what other people want. At the same time, you need to realize it’s okay to go after what you want. And I just might be the guy to help you do that.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Lily: Daniel. Hi.

Daniel: Hey. How are you doing? Um, I haven’t talked to you since new year’S.

Lily: Uh, I’m fine. Just, you know, been busy. Hoping 2023 will be a good year. How are you feeling?

Daniel: I’m great.

Lily: Are you sure?

Daniel: Yeah. I mean, you know, I couldn’t be better.

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: Okay. Come on. I saw your face when I first walked in, and then when you saw me, you kind of threw this big smile on.

Daniel: Maybe I was waiting for you to arrive to cheer me up.

Lily: Okay. What’s going on? What is it? Is it the press release?

Daniel: No. God, no. The press release is fantastic, but…

Lily: But what?

Daniel: It’s not important. You know, you have bigger concerns.

Lily: Oh, come on. Really? Not important? After everything that we’ve been through together, I mean, if you can’t trust me to tell me what’s going on, then who can you trust?

Daniel: I do trust you. I do. I just don’t want you to judge me.

Lily: Daniel, I would never do that.

Daniel: [ Inhales sharply ] Alright. Alright. Back in savannah, I made some mistakes. I didn’t respect heather as a strong woman who was capable of making her own decisions. Some of that trickled down to lucy, too. You can say there was a lot of jealousy and insecurity on my part.

Lily: That doesn’t sound like you.

Daniel: Well, I was going through a rough patch career-wise, and — [ Chuckles ] I mean, saying that I handled it badly is an understatement. And I — I pushed them away. And I’m genuinely ashamed about it. And here I am — I’m running around trying to hide it from everyone all the time while I’m just trying to get back on solid ground. But now you and devon — you’ve put me there. I mean, you have no idea how good it feels to be working on something worthwhile and lucrative. And — and it’s my hope that maybe this will show the two women in my life that I’m not a lost cause.

Jack: You know what? You believe what you want to believe.

Ashley: Well, I believe that you have brought diane’s “poor me” act.

Jack: It is not “poor me.” I have seen the fear in her eyes. She is genuinely afraid of what jeremy stark will do to her. I know you find that silly. I have sat with this man. I concur with her. He’s a dangerous man. So I have decided, yes, to protect my son’s mother, to protect my family.

Ashley: Okay, so, years ago, diane chose to double-cross a dangerous criminal, and now our family is in danger. Are you hearing this? And diane is now using the situation to embed herself into our family and into our home and into your bed. And maybe that’s the whole point of this.

Jack: If you are so indignant about who I entertain in my home, maybe you should stay elsewhere.

Ashley: [ Sighs ] Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Ashley: So, this is what it’s come to, huh? I’m being forced from the family home? I’m not giving an inch to diane. I belong here as much as you do. It’s my house, too.

Jack: No one’s throwing you out of the house. I’m just saying if diane’s presence here is so abhorrent —

Ashley: I am not being forced out because of your sick fixation on diane, jack. And you know what else? You might be ceo, but jabot belongs to me, too! And you wanted her to work there? I never got a vote. I’m laying it out there. Diane jenkins will never, ever be welcome in our home or in that company! Do you understand me?! Not ever.

Kyle: Hey. What’s wrong?

Summer: What do you mean?

Kyle: Well, it was pretty clear that when you said you wanted to talk, it wasn’t about mariah’s personal time. Given how frosty you were with my mom, I assumed it was about her.

Summer: It was.

Kyle: Well, we should discuss whatever it is that’s troubling you.

Summer: I agree.

[ Sighs ] Look, things are getting really tense around here. And with stark still out there as a constant threat, I’m scared. I need a break from genoa city.

Kyle: What are you — what are you talking about?

Summer: There’s a textile show in paris, and I think i should go.

Kyle: Yeah, th-that might be a good idea.

Summer: I want to take harrison with me.

Sally: [ Sighing ]

[ Sighs heavily ] What am I gonna do now?

Lily: Daniel, no one thinks that you’re a lost cause.

Daniel: Hmm. You didn’t see the look on heather and lucy’s faces when they left for europe. It’s gonna take a long time to fix my family life.

Lily: Well, you know what? I mean, there is nothing in your contract that says that you have to be in genoa city. You can work from anywhere. So, if you want, go back to savannah or join them in portugal. I mean, I think, you know, keeping your family together has to be your top priority.

Daniel: Yeah. No, of course. I mean, it’s — it’s my goal, but I feel like if I split my focus, I’m gonna wind up doing a half-assed job on both fronts. I got to do this the right way, one step at a time. Otherwise, I might never get any aspect of my life back on track.

Lily: Daniel, I’m so sorry.

Daniel: Mnh-mnh. No. No. Lily, please do not look at me like that.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Daniel: It seems like everyone these days is looking at me that way, and, I mean, I’m getting better. I’m gonna be okay.

Lily: Okay. Just know that I’m here if you need anything, alright?

Daniel: I really appreciate it.

Lily: Okay.

Daniel: You have somewhere you need to be?

Lily: Um, yeah. I, uh — I have an appointment, so I have to go. Otherwise, I would chat all morning.

Daniel: You seem a little nervous. You expecting bad news or something? I mean, should I be the one who’s worried about you?

Lily: No, no, no. I’m fine, just, um, a little anxious, uh… but listen — I have enormous faith in you, okay? Otherwise, we would have never brought you on. And know that you are not a lost cause, okay? Bye.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Devon: Yeah, I’m definitely gonna take some time and think about what you said. I’d still like to try and figure this all out on my own, though.

Tucker: Sure. That’s prudent.

Devon: You definitely do have a point. And I know you know what you’re talking about, so…

Tucker: Consider it.

Devon: I will. I will. I’m glad I, uh, ran into you.

Tucker: Yeah, me too, son.

Devon: Appreciate the insight.

Tucker: Oh, of course. Anytime.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Devon: That’s a unique chime.

Tucker: Yeah, I know. It came with the phone.

Devon: Did it?

Tucker: Please stay in touch, huh?

Devon: Yeah, I sure will.

Tucker: Okay. See you.

Devon: Hey. I need you to find out as much information as you can about a connection between tucker mccall and audra charles. Alright. Thank you.
