Ashley: My sister meant well. But traci, she’s so sweet. She just wants jack and I to lay down our swords. But from what I can tell, it’s not working. Not even a little bit.

Tucker: So, it had no impact on you at all? Doesn’t expending all this energy on hatred just wear you out?

Ashley: What is wrong with everybody? Why can’t you see that what I’m doing isn’t because of my hatred for diane? It’s because of love for my family and my brother. I don’t get it.

Jack: Hey, I got your text. Came as soon as I could. What’s up?

Diane: Well, thanks for rushing over, but I’m afraid it might be too late.

Jack: Why? What happened?

Diane: Well, I tried to bridge the gap between kyle and summer, but the whole thing might have backfired. It just went horribly wrong and now I– I’m afraid I’ve made things even worse.

Summer: Kyle. Kyle! Can you please stop? Wait a second. Look, it’s fine if you’re pissed off and you want to storm out of society and it’s fine if you hate me right now, but please, can you just stop with this evasion and silent treatment and talk to me?

Kyle: I don’t want to discuss this right now.

Summer: Okay, then when? When are you gonna want to discuss this? Because if you’re– you’re really that angry that you– you don’t feel like you can move past this at all, then you need to step up and say so.

Abby: Yep.

[ Knock on door ] Um, I’ll get it.

Devon: You sure?

Abby: Yep. Got it.

Chance: Hey.

Abby: Oh.

Chance: I’m sorry to do this to you. I, uh, I know I’m supposed to have him for a few more days, but I just got called into a new case. Louise has the flu, so… all that’s kind of blown up my plan.

Abby: Um. Yeah. Yeah, no problem.

Chance: Yeah?

Abby: Yeah.

Chance: Thank you.

Abby: We always love having dominic at home.

Chance: Uh, yeah. Look, I’m– I’m kind of in a hurry, but there is something I’d like to talk to you about while I’m here. Uh, it’s about dominic and this whole situation. It’s just not really working out. Choosing a treatment for your chronic migraine –

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Abby: Well, our boy knocked right out, so he must have had quite the day.

Chance: Yeah, never had a dull moment with him. That’s actually what I’d like to talk to you about.

Devon: Is something wrong with him?

Chance: No, no, everything’s fine. I just noticed that instead of enjoying the fact that he has two different places to live, I think it stresses him out. Every time we switch, he gets real fussy and uh, it’s kind of a struggle to calm him down. I won’t lie.

Abby: Oh, I– I didn’t realize.

Chance: Well, don’t get me wrong. It’s just when he first gets to my place. Once he has settled in and we’re having a good time, we got to pack his stuff up and come back here. So as much as we justify it to ourselves, I think the back and forth seems to be confusing him.

Abby: So, what are you suggesting? That we change our custody agreement?

Tucker: You have convinced yourself that you are saving jack from himself.

Ashley: Well, that’s exactly what I’m trying to do. I know that diane is a present danger, clear and present danger to our family’s company and the fact that jack doesn’t see that–

Tucker: Jack is a grown man! He doesn’t need protecting from anyone, by anyone. Least of all you.

Ashley: That’s kind of harsh, don’t you think? I mean a little–

Tucker: When did you become your brother’s keeper? If he wants to throw his life away with diane, that’s his problem. But if it causes chaos at jabot, so be it. That’s just how it goes.

Ashley: Oh, yeah, sure. Who cares, right? But it’s really easy for you to say that. It’s not your family. It’s not your father who built that company, tucker.

Tucker: Yeah, but your father’s company is now a yoke around your neck. You know, you’re just– I think you’re bigger and better than all of this pettiness. And it occurs to me that you have earned the right to call your own shots now. To build your own legacy.

Ashley: With you?

Tucker: Yes. You’re damn right. Yes with me.

Ashley: Okay.

Tucker: So what’s it gonna take to pull you across the finish line here, to… help you let go of this misguided need to protect jack and jabot.

Ashley: Our mother left us when we were just little kids. We’ve been protecting each other ever since.

Tucker: I understand, but it’s gone too far now. And it might be too late to save him anyway. I think what you need to concentrate on is purging yourself of this hatred for diane. And if you can do that, your whole world will be magnificent again.

Jack: How exactly did you make things worse for summer and kyle? What did you do?

Diane: Well, summer and I came here after leaving the family meeting earlier. She wanted my help convincing kyle to forgive her. And well, she made it very clear that if I did help her, it would go a long way towards me making amends for my part in things, which– which is important to me. And then kyle showed up…

Kyle: Excuse me, summer, but would you mind if I speak to my mother in private?

Diane: Uh, kyle, we can do that, but I think that maybe you should sit down and we should speak as a family first. You know, there are some things I need to tell you and, um, I’d like for summer to be part of that conversation as well.

Kyle: Look, mom, if this is about the problems between me and summer, I’d prefer you didn’t get involved.

Diane: It– it is, but not in the way that you think.

Kyle: Okay, in what way then?

Diane: Did you know that harrison has been crying himself to sleep the last three nights?

Kyle: What? How could that be? I’ve read to him until he’s fallen asleep every night.

Diane: Well, he wakes up about half an hour later and comes and finds his didi with tears in his eyes.

Summer: Tears, why?

Kyle: What’s he so upset about? Why didn’t he come to me?

Diane: He wouldn’t tell me what was going on at first, but then he finally asked what he was doing to make his mommy and daddy so upset.

Summer: Why didn’t you tell us that he was crying at night?

Kyle: Yeah, you should’ve come to us with this right away.

Diane: Well, I was afraid that you would think that I was interfering in your relationship. And plus I– I figured that the two of you would work things out soon, but it has been three nights in a row.

Jack: Wow. That is a lot for that kid to be carrying around.

Diane: Oh, yeah.

Jack: I hate that he blames himself for the chaos and upset that’s going on in our home. This is a lot for you to carry around. I mean, why didn’t you tell me?

Diane: Well, I– I– I didn’t tell you because it isn’t true. I told a little white lie trying to push kyle past his anger toward summer since she betrayed him. I was hoping that it would focus them both on what’s really important to them. Their family, their little boy.

Jack: It wasn’t true. Seriously?

Diane: Oh, no. It just kind of came to me and I went with it.

Jack: You lied to kyle. Again.

Chance: I am suggesting that we change the custody agreement slightly. Look, we all know that dominic loves the mansion. It was his first place that he lived. I would like for you to consider moving into the chancellor house. Devon, I’m sure your grandmother would love it. Abby, you could come back home and dominic could have all the space he could ever ask for to run, play and grow. I’m gonna take an apartment closer to the police station. I don’t need that big thing, okay? I don’t need to be rattling around all by myself in that big old mansion. I would much rather dominic have it. That way I can come visit whenever. And the chancellor home, you know, the first place that he lived, will be his permanent home.

Devon: Well, okay. Well, this is, uh, it’s not what I expected.

Chance: Yeah. Well, look, I, uh, I do have to run. I apologize. So, I’ll let you guys talk it over, but just know I still want to share custody. I still want to see him as much as I can, okay? Nothing’s changed and I understand this is a big move, so if you’re not up for it, I totally get it. I just wanted to put it out there for dominic’s sake. Talk to you soon.

Devon: Thanks.

Abby: Wow. Um, I was not expecting that at all, but I know chance is coming from a good place. But I mean, this is a huge decision for both of us. Is this even something that you would consider?

Ashley: You’re not wrong. It’s exhausting, having all this hatred towards diane, but I can’t just turn it on and off like a light switch, you know, not when she’s such a threat.

Tucker: Yeah. I’m sorry to tell you, but you’re not the only one who’s finding it exhausting. Diane seems to be occupying more space in your head than anyone else in your life right now. Wherever we go, diane seems to be with us. We might as well always ask for a table for three. We can’t have a conversation without it eventually steering back to diane. Diane this, diane that. Jack, jabot, jabot, jack, enough already.

Ashley: I apologize.

Tucker: Enough of jabot.

Ashley: I am so deeply sorry. It can’t always be about you. And maybe you’re missing the point here. I can’t just walk away from this company, tucker. It’s in my dna. It always will be a part of me.

Tucker: So, you’re always going to be miserable. You’re always going to be consumed by hatred and paranoia? All right, think about this. Let’s say you’re right. Let’s say your prediction about diane’s right and she brings jabot crashing down. You know what we do? We swoop in, we scoop it up, we fold it into our own company, which would make us stronger than ever. And you could rein over everything you see. Yeah?

Ashley: Well, I don’t want jack and traci and billy to think that I want to stab them in the back and destroy the family company. That’s not what I’m doing this for, you know that. I want to protect the company. I want to protect my father’s legacy. That’s what I mean when I say I’m doing this out of love and not hatred. Don’t you hear what I’m saying?

Tucker: Right, then let diane crash and burn on her own. That’s the best way to prove to jack what a threat she is anyway.

Diane: I’m not going to try to defend what I did other than to say my heart was in the right place. It was an innocent white lie. And you know what? Part of me is afraid that harrison might have picked up on the tension between his parents.

Jack: But you don’t know that. I mean, he hasn’t said that to you, has he?

Diane: No, no, I guess not. And I– I guess I took it too far. I just– I just wanted to rattle kyle into realizing what his anger towards summer could be costing his son.

Kyle: I had no idea this was impacting my son like this. I’ve had talks with him explaining that sometimes adults have arguments and it takes a little time for them to work through their problems, but I made it as clear as I possibly could that didn’t mean we love him any less.

Diane: Well, clearly it wasn’t enough. He’s– he’s suffering.

Summer: Kyle, this is even more of a reason for us to start trying to work things out between us. Harrison has been through so much in his life already. We owe him a sense of security now. Don’t you agree with that?

Kyle: Summer, are you sure you didn’t already know about harrison’s apparent upset?

Summer: No. How– how could I? I’ve been sleeping in the pool house. I go in and I say good night to him when you’re not around and then I go away.

Kyle: I’m still finding it odd that I’m only hearing about this now. Harrison has shown no signs of being upset or worried. He’s been the same happy-go-lucky guy. But if this is true, I am very concerned about my son and I will do everything I can to calm him down.

Diane: What do you mean? If this is true?

Kyle: Well, I’m just having a hard time understanding that he could have such a strong reaction that I wouldn’t have seen or sensed it. At least not to the level that kept him up at night. Something feels off here.

Diane: And then the whole thing just spiraled from there. And I– I had to admit that I might have exaggerated the situation.

Jack: I can imagine how that went down.

Diane: I was just hoping that kyle could realize that he needs to find a way to forgive his wife.

Jack: You do realize what you’ve done?

Diane: Yes, I know. And I know that it was a bit desperate. And I– and I know that I shouldn’t have used our grandson that way, but it wasn’t a total fabrication. I do think that harrison has picked up on the tension between his parents. He knows that there’s something going on.

Jack: But you tried to convince kyle it was a lot worse than that.

Diane: Yes, I know. And then after I confessed to him, he stormed out. But summer was right behind him.

Kyle: Honestly, I don’t know what I want. All I know is that this is hell for me.

Summer: Kyle, this is hell for me too. I believe what diane was saying earlier, that harrison is picking up on what’s going on. He knows that there’s a conflict between us and the question is how are we gonna fix it?

Kyle: I don’t know. Maybe what we need to do is take some time apart. Really apart while we try to figure this out.

Summer: What does that mean? Like a formal separation? (Wheezing)

Summer: Kyle, you can’t really mean that.

Kyle: I’m sorry. I– I can’t get beyond this betrayal. You kept this a secret from me for weeks. You lied repeatedly to my face and all I wanted to do was comfort you. I thought something was wrong with me, that I couldn’t do what you needed to help you feel better. How could you have been so cruel to me?

Summer: I know that I handled it badly. I know that I did. But kyle, I was caught between protecting my mom and–

Kyle: Destroying mine? Still, you could have come to me. Told me everything and we could have found a way to deal with it together, but instead, you opted to betray my trust and freeze me out.

Summer: Kind of like what you did when you worked with my grandpa behind my back. You know, I felt betrayed then too.

Kyle: Oh, no, no, no, this is completely different and you know, it. That wasn’t life or death, incarceration or freedom. You took my love and my sympathy and you threw it back in my face. You broke my heart. And the worst part is you didn’t trust me to help you through the trauma you were going through. The fact is you betrayed every bit of confidence I have in you. In us.

Summer: But we can get through this. I know that we can. I love you. And you love me… don’t you?

Kyle: You chose your mother over me. You were willing to let my mom suffer and maybe spend the rest of her life behind bars.

Summer: I would have never let it get that far. I promise you that.

Kyle: Well, we’ll never know for sure now, will we? No, I get the sense that this meeting at society was a clever little setup. Did you recruit my mother to help us bridge the gap? Was that stunt using harrison something the two of you cooked up?

Summer: I didn’t know what she was gonna do. But yes, I did tell diane that it would go a long way with me if she could help convince you to forgive me.

Kyle: Yeah. I thought so.

Summer: Kyle, I was desperate. You weren’t talking to me. I have never seen you that angry and I was– I was afraid for our marriage.

Kyle: And where did that lead, summer? Look at where we are now. You have made one bad choice after another. I… I think we need some time to process everything that’s happened. See what’s left. If anything.

Summer: Kyle, no, that’s too extreme. Do we really have to go that far? If we love each other, if you have ever loved me, then we should be able to work this out.

Kyle: I can’T. Not right now. I need time to think through things.

Summer: What does that mean? You want me to move out of the house completely?

Jack: Look, I’m– I’m not gonna lie. It upsets me that you used harrison to force kyle’s hand and I’m not surprised that this blew up in your face.

Diane: Well, I’m– I’m sorry. And I can see why you’re upset with me, but what am I supposed to do? I swear I was only trying to do something good, something to try to get them back together, and I– I feel like I need to try because I am partially to blame for their problems.

Jack: Wait, what are you saying? You are not to blame for what summer did.

Diane: No, but my feud with phyllis is at the center of this whole thing. Jeremy stark came back to town because of me and then he took advantage of phyllis’s intense hatred towards me.

Jack: You are no part of that scheme and summer went off the rails emotionally.

Diane: Well, yes, she did. But I– I think she was just grasping at any hope when she learned that her mother was alive. She had to do whatever she could to protect her, to– to try to clean up that mess and bring her back home safely.

Jack: That was your argument. Not using harrison.

Diane: I know. I’ve bungled this badly and I need to find kyle and try to fix it.

Ashley: Maybe you haven’t heard, but I’ve actually done something kind of like that. I went to paris with my patents and I created a very successful company. So how would this be different?

Tucker: Yes, yes, I recall that. This would be different in as much as you would not be alone. All right? And there’s no doubt you did a wonderful job in paris, which is why I know that together, we would be unstoppable.

Ashley: You really think so?

Tucker: I know so. And this time, you would not have the entire burden resting on your shoulders. I’d be right there with you. Think of how wonderful it would be to build something as a couple. Huh?

Ashley: That would be kinda awesome.

Tucker: Kinda awesome? It would be totally awesome. And we could do it right here in genoa city. Think about all the new products you could design. Oh, by the way, I’ve been spitballing names. You wanna hear my favorite? Simply ashley. Your name associated with beauty all over the world. People all over the world identifying with you, right? And then you and I become the power couple of the decade. You’re thinking about it. You’re seeing it in your mind’s eye, right? You’re gonna let jabot just pursue whatever goal it wants while you and I set the industry on fire.

Ashley: It would really hit jack right where he lives.

Tucker: Oh, god. Here we go again, jack, jack, I’m not proposing this as yet another means to get back at jack. I’m talking about taking this idea to its fruition, for us. And you’re either committed or you’re not. Are you in?

Ashley: Of course.

Tucker: Simone, if you please, a bottle of your finest champagne, for my business partner and me.

Ashley: Shh.

Devon: Honestly, the thought of dominic having one central place to call home is ideal. Because I’m sure it is rough for him to be carted back and forth between here and the chancellor mansion. But how would you feel being back in that house?

Abby: Well, there are a lot of things to consider. A lot of memories, both good and bad, and then there’s jill. I mean, that’s her landing spot when she comes to genoa city, and probably nina’s too. Even though she’s not here that often.

Devon: So would that be weird for you then? To be under the same roof as your ex-mother-in-law?

Abby: Whoo. Well, probably a little bit, especially after she told me exactly how she felt about me at the gala. Since I broke her son’s heart. I don’t know. What about you? This place is your home. Would you even consider giving it up? Even if it is the best thing for dominic?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. (Mom) america’s favorite strawberry yogurt.

Kyle: Living in the pool house is not much different than living in the main house. You still need to come in here on a regular basis.

Summer: That’s what you need a break from? You’re so angry at me that you want me as far away as possible? So what? You can decide if you want a divorce or not? You’re throwing me out because I was trying to protect my mom.

Kyle: No, you chose to protect your mom at the cost of honesty and the faith in me and our marriage.

Summer: What would you have done if the roles were reversed, kyle?

Kyle: My mother would never have stooped as low as phyllis. She never would have done what she did.

Summer: What are you talking about? Diane already did it. She faked her death. She abandoned you at a much younger age than me and daniel are now. Are you just forgetting that? How she walked out on you? Disappeared for years and how she was willing to let my grandma take the fall? You’re kidding yourself if you don’t believe how low your mom could stoop. What your mom did was no better than what my mom has done.

Kyle: I know you struggled with your feelings with my mother. That you believe she was guilty for phyllis’s death, but I really thought once you realized it was all a fake and phyllis was alive, you would see how wrong you were.

Summer: Yes, I was wrong about that, sure. But diane is guilty of so much more.

Kyle: And there it is. Your argument that you were just trying to protect phyllis no longer rings entirely true. Not when you’re still holding old grudges and punishing my mother for her lies.

Summer: You know, maybe you’re right. Maybe I should move out.

Jack: Summer, could I have a moment alone with my son?

Diane: Yeah, kyle. I would like to speak with you as well.

Summer: Fine.

Jack: Please tell me I didn’t just hear you ask summer to leave this house. Has it really gotten that out of hand?

Diane: Yeah. Look, you need to find some way to be able to forgive–

Kyle: Mom, I don’t want to hear your pleas for me and summer to work things out. Not when your meddling has already made things worse.

Devon: I gotta admit that leaving this penthouse wouldn’t be easy to do. ‘Cause there’s so much history here. You know, so many memories. I mean, I originally bought this place for hilary and I remember her initial reaction to it wasn’t what I expected. You said you wanted a real home, I thought that you’d be happy.

Hilary: First of all, this isn’t a real home. This is one of your gifts designed to keep me in line.

Devon: That’s not true.

Hilary: And secondly, how could you make such a huge purchase without consulting me? What if I don’t like this part of town?

Devon: This is your favorite neighborhood.

Hilary: Okay. What if I wanted a house with a yard?

Devon: Is that what you want?

Hilary: Maybe I want a pool or a tennis court?

Devon: Oh, hey, you remember we own athletic club right down the street. Or I could build you a gym downstairs. I could put a garden on the roof here. I mean, what– what do you really want?

Hilary: I want a damn say, okay? This is our life, devon. You and me. Sometimes I feel like I am just along for the ride. To smile and say thank you while you whip out your checkbook.

Devon: Well, that’s just not how I want you to feel at all.

Hilary: Then include me in things, okay? You wanna surprise me with a watch? Okay, fine. Go ahead, knock yourself out. But come on, devon. A home?

Devon: I agree with you. I get your point and I apologize, okay? But for the record, I did not buy this place for your gratitude.

Hilary: Really? You didn’t think that this big surprise was gonna make us kiss and make up?

Devon: Hilary, I bought this place because I love you and I want you to be happy. That’s the truth. Now for two seconds, can you forget about how much of an ass I am and just take a look around and see if you actually like it? Please? I mean, there’s more than enough space here for us. And think of all the ways that we can make it our own.

Hilary: Yeah, it has potential.

Devon: Sweetheart. This is in no way me trying to tie you down, okay? If anything, it’s me taking a step back so you can be exactly whoever it is you want to be. As long as that person is my wife, my partner, and my best friend.

Hilary: Well, it’s gonna need some paint.

Devon: Gosh. Hamilton-winters was created here too. I have so many good memories with neil in this place. Then again, it’s– this is also where he passed away.

Abby: I can only imagine.

Devon: Yeah. But, uh, you and I have made quite a few memories here. Wouldn’t you say?

Abby: Yes.

Devon: Remember when you set up that dinner so we could try out the food before you opened up society?

Abby: Yes.

Devon: It was fun.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: And this is where we both realized that we’re in love with each other.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: It’s not gonna be easy to leave this place. It’s a lot to think about.

Abby: Yeah. I don’t think I’ll be able to make a quick decision. I just, um, I don’t know. I wonder why chance is wanting to leave the chancellor house.

Devon: Well, I mean, I imagine because it probably gets lonely being by himself in such a big place. His mom and jill are rarely there. Dominic only comes over occasionally. I get it.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Maybe what he’s suggesting makes sense for us.

Abby: It would be nice to bring dominic back to the house where he spent the beginning of his life.

Devon: Yeah. It’s definitely something to think about.

Abby: Yeah. Even when I was with the people I love,

[ Ashley laughing ]

Tucker: So, if we– if we call your line simply ashley, we still need a name for the corporation.

Ashley: Yeah.

Tucker: So, what do you think would really piss jack off? How about, uh, mccall-abbott industries?

Ashley: Oh, I don’t like that at all. No, it should be abbott-mccall industries.

Tucker: Of course.

Ashley: Right? Because it’s just, you know, rolls off the tongue easier. It’s a much nicer ring to it. You think?

Tucker: All right. How about something a little more expansive?

Ashley: Uh-huh?

Tucker: Mcabbott universal?

Ashley: Oh, yeah. Okay, we gonna serve fries with that?

Tucker: Well, whatever the name is, it’s gotta– it’s gotta send a clear message that we mean business.

Ashley: Right. Right. I think that, um, anything with universal and global in it is just maybe a bit too expansive.

Tucker: How about, um, tushley?

Ashley: Okay, you’re not gonna stop are you?

Tucker: No.

Ashley: Not until I say yes? It’s a lot of fun talking about this imaginary company that we own together, right? But um, I’d like to know how the inner machinations would actually operate.

Tucker: The inner machination?

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: What do you want? An organizational flow chart or something?

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: You want to know who reports to whom and when.

Ashley: Yes. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. I want to know the dynamic we’d have.

Tucker: Between you and me? Oh, well–

Ashley: Well, obviously.

Tucker: We would be equals in every way, of course.

Ashley: Uh-huh.

Tucker: We would play off each other’s strengths.

Ashley: Right.

Tucker: Your brilliance in the lab creating products that people will die for. And my, uh, my remarkable business acumen.

Ashley: Right. About that. I mean wasn’t it that remarkable business acumen that pretty much tanked mccall?

Tucker: Yes, I…

Ashley: Did I say that?

Tucker: Did you say that? I know I– I made a misstep but my only fault was taking my eye off the ball and with you as my partner, I promise I will never take my eye off anything when it comes to you and me. Business or private. And I know that uh, with you at my side, you would never allow that to happen anyway. Would you? Have I convinced you yet?

Diane: My whole life has been a series of two steps forward and one step back. I mean, how long will it take for me to finally pay my dues?

Jack: Okay. Listen to me. You gotta stop thinking like that. This is phyllis’s doing, not yours. She knocked the floor out from underneath all of us with this stunt of hers and we’re all scrambling to regain our footing. Summer and kyle, you and me.

Diane: Well, I didn’t help matters using our grandson to try to mend kyle and summer. It was– it was pretty stupid.

Jack: It was not the best choice, but it’s done. And to your credit, it wasn’t malicious. You meant to help. You were trying to help kyle. And he will realize that as soon as he sees things clearly.

Diane: Well, I hope so.

Jack: You have to remember everything kyle is doing and saying right now is colored by his anger at summer. And that goes all the way back to phyllis.

Diane: I bet phyllis is having a good laugh right about now. I mean, even though I’m not in jail for her murder, she’s still getting revenge on me. A revenge that keeps causing pain. You know, she’s staying away so that she can avoid facing the music, but I bet there’s another reason. She knows that it is tearing this family apart and she is loving that.

Audra: So we meet again. And unfortunately, you don’t look like you’re in any better state of mind since the last time we met. Should I keep walking? Look for another saloon to have a quiet drink?

Kyle: No. Stay. Let me buy you one. With the freestyle libre 2 system.

Tucker: Champagne.

Ashley: Here’s to new beginnings.

Jack: Will you make me a promise?

Diane: Sure.

Jack: Will you embrace the positive and just let the negative in our lives take care of itself? We’re about to get married in the next couple of months. You’re gonna come work with me at jabot. We have so much to look forward to.

Diane: Yeah. Are you sure about jabot? I mean, me being there working with you, it’s bound to bring up conflict with ashley and maybe even billy.

Jack: Do I look like I care about that? As a matter of fact, let me show you something. You know how I asked the pr department to put together a press release about your new position? Asked them to polish things up and I wanted to send it out. Go?

Diane: Go.

Jack: Go.

Diane: Aw.

Jack: If the family is upset about that, too bad. They have a problem with this, it’s their problem, not ours.

Diane: Yeah. Mm.

Chance: You look like you could use someone to talk to.

Audra: So, something is clearly bothering you. Feel like talking about whatever it is?

Kyle: That’s the last thing I wanna do. Today has been absolutely disastrous. Hell, this whole week has been absolutely disastrous. What I really need is to forget about everything going on in my life. Shut it out. Pretend none of it is happening.

Audra: Yeah, I know that feeling all too well. Been there and I’m happy to help. Salud.

Kyle: Salud.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Traci: Well, you know me, I’m always up for a good book tour.

[ Traci laughing ] I just love getting out and meeting my readers.

Zelda: So, we’ll set up some virtual appearances too, for those who aren’t in major markets.

Traci: Zelda, what would you think about doing some of the smaller towns this time. You know, just to sort of mix it up a little bit?

Zelda: You know what? That’s true because some of the independents can draw big crowds, especially if they’re in college towns.

Traci: Good. Because I could use a little break from genoa city right now. Actually, a big break.

Zelda: You want to tell me what’s going on?

Traci: Oh, no, no, it’s nothing.

Zelda: Traci, how long have I been your agent? I mean, we grew up in this business together. I know when something’s bothering you.

Traci: Everything is fine, really.

Zelda: You know that you don’t need to fake it with me. We’re way past that, aren’t we? Talk to me. What’s wrong?

[ Zelda laughing ]

Traci: I’m just a little worried that my family might be imploding.

Summer: Kyle.

Kyle: I’m on my way out. Kind of in a hurry.

Summer: I– I was just wondering if you’d heard the story about the– the hamster at harrison’s day camp. He was so funny when he was telling me about it.

Kyle: I heard the whole story as I was tucking him in last night.

Summer: Oh, must have been after I said goodnight to him.

Kyle: I assume so.

Summer: Hey, have you had breakfast? Because there’s muffins in the kitchen?

Kyle: I’m not hungry.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: Kyle, can we please talk before you go to the office?

Ashley: Hey.

Billy: Hi.

Ashley: I just wanted to make you aware that I’ve reached out to a couple of additional board members. I let them know that I think diane is a threat to the stability of this company.

Billy: Is that so?

Ashley: Mm-hmm, they agreed.

Billy: I’m sure they did. You can be very persuasive. What exactly did they agree with?

Ashley: We need to be proactive. We need to stop diane in her tracks. Before she can cause some real damage.

Jack: Also, get pr to start working on a press release for diane’s new role as chief talent officer. Put a paragraph in there about brenda, who is retiring at the end of the month, how much we appreciate her, how much we wish her well.

Emily: Oh, should I book a photo session for diane? Updated headshots?

Jack: Absolutely. It’s time the business world was surprised there was a new face in the c-suite at jabot.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… look in that mirror and ask,

Zelda: Imploding, huh? I mean, I’m surprised. I always thought the abbotts were such a tight-knit bunch.

[ Traci laughing ]

Traci: Not always.

Zelda: Well, you know, every family member that I’ve met of yours over the years have always been so gracious, especially your father. But you know, then again, you guys are all high-powered, creative, independent thinkers and that can stir up conflict.

Traci: Yes, it can.

Zelda: Okay, so let me guess. Uh… more drama between ashley and jack.

[ Traci chuckling ]

Traci: On the nose. It is endless. All right, this particular battle is over their romantic partners.

Zelda: Tucker “love ’em, and leave ’em” mccall? And diane “not dead after all” jenkins? I mean, I am a huge fan of talia morgan. I never miss her articles.

Traci: I see.

Zelda: So, what is the issue?

[ Traci sighing ]

Traci: Jack doesn’t trust tucker and he thinks ashley is being played the fool. Ashley doesn’t trust diane and thinks jack is an even bigger fool, and it has gotten ugly.

Zelda: How ugly are we talking?

Traci: Ashley is staging a coup in plain sight.

Zelda: At jabot? You are kidding.

Traci: I’m not kidding. Um, she thinks that jack is going to, um, promote diane into a powerful position where she could potentially hurt the company. Now, I don’t see how that’s even possible, but if he does, she’s going to go to the board and have him removed. And I assume have her installed as ceo.

Zelda: It sounds like a nightmare. Is there a book in it?

[ Traci laughing ]

Traci: Don’t even joke about that. You know, the real punchline is that ashley is doing the exact same thing to tucker. She wants to, um, give him a powerful position so that she has an ally on the inside and it is making me crazy.

Zelda: Well, I can see why.

Traci: You know, zelda, I sort of always felt like I was the peacemaker. I was the voice of reason inside the family, but this time, I’m telling you, I don’t know what to do. I mean, this battle is so far out of control. I’m afraid that if it drags on much longer, we’re all going to be scarred for life.

Jack: Emily, read me the last three bullet points.

Emily: “Diane’s past career as an award-winning, internationally renowned architect, an integral member of jabot’s pr department, the mother of kyle abbott, ceo of marchetti.”

Jack: Excellent.

Emily: Should we include mention of your upcoming wedding?

Jack: Yeah, absolutely. That’s an excellent idea, emily. Yeah, jabot is an abbott family business. Diane is about to become a vital part of both.

Billy: What I would like to say is, “I appreciate your devotion to the company.” However, I’m going to point out that we’ve had more conversations about this existential threat from diane than we’ve had on, you know, r&D.

Ashley: Was I just reprimanded?

Billy: No. It’s a statement of fact. Ashley, diane is not a comic book supervillain, okay? She doesn’t have special powers. She doesn’t even have a seat on the board–

Ashley: Yet.

Billy: Our board is made up of family members. They’re abbotts and lauren and a few others who you claim are now on your side.

Ashley: They’re on my side because they’re committed to protecting the company from the havoc that diane always brings with her.

Billy: No, I understand that’s– that’s how you see it. But there are checks and balances in place to make sure that something like that doesn’t happen, and I can’t imagine diane waking up one day, and wanting to burn down–

Ashley: I can imagine her doing anything, okay? All right, I can. That gloria, do you remember her? She caused a lot of damage.

Billy: Yes, I do. And jabot is fine because of those checks and balances.

Ashley: It’s the balancing part that I’m talking about, billy, all right? We’ve got parties that are willing and able to act pre-emptively to prevent another gloria from happening. That’s all, okay? That’s all.

Billy: Diane is not gloria, all right? I don’t think she would tamper with the product the way that gloria–

Ashley: She’s worse than gloria and I shudder to think about what she’s capable of.

Billy: Why would diane want to destroy the company? If she marries jack, she’s got a vested interest in its success.

Ashley: It’s assuming that the marriage would be legitimate and not some kind of long-game con that she’s running.

Billy: Okay. Why don’t you just tell me who you’ve talked to?

Ashley: Abby. Abby. Okay? I have her support. Full stop. Traci.

[ Billy laughing ] No, traci. Well, granted she wants to keep peace in the family, but the only way to keep peace is to keep diane far away from this company. It’s only a matter of time before traci comes around to my way of thinking.

Billy: Congratulations, ashley. You got one definite who just happens to be your daughter, and then a “maybe-kinda.” It’s a hell of a coalition you’re building.

Kyle: I’m late for a meeting, and really, what is there to even discuss?

Summer: Us. Everything that’s happened, how we’re going to get through it? Kyle, you’ve got to know how sorry I am for everything. Hey, your– your mom has forgiven me. Did she tell you that?

Kyle: She mentioned it.

Summer: Well, I’m hoping that you can forgive me too. Look, I know there’s no excuse for anything that I did. I just miss you so much.

Kyle: None of this is us talking. It’s you trying to convince me to let go of my anger and accept what you did, but that’s not going to happen with one conversation. It’s going to take time. Maybe a lot of time, if I can even get there. So, I repeat, what is there to say?

Summer: Kyle, I love you so much. I was afraid, I was confused when my mom first reached out to me.

Kyle: Okay, if you were so confused and afraid, why didn’t you come to me? You slept in another room for weeks while I begged you to talk to me, confide in me. You could have let me comfort you for your loss. Hell, you could have shared the same bed so I could hold you at night, but you couldn’t do that. And I accepted it. I put your feelings first ahead of my own. So, I’m going now and I assume you will give me the same time and space I gave you. As someone living with type 2 diabetes,

Summer: Kyle, I just–

[ Kyle sighing ]

Kyle: What’s that?

Summer: Nothing. There’s nothing that needs to be said right now. I’m sorry. I’ll give you all the time and space you need.

[ Door clicks closed ]

Diane: I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.

Summer: You heard all that?

Diane: Yeah, I just feel terrible that the two of you are going through this.

Summer: So, what do you think? Have I lost him?

Traci: I’m just so tempted to get on an airplane and fly to new york just to get away from the tension in the house.

Zelda: Then, why don’t you do it? Come to manhattan with me, and then you can write about the drama instead of living it.

Traci: It is so tempting, but running away is not the answer. I have got to fix this. Or at least try. You know, jack and ashley always felt that jabot was daddy’s legacy. It’s not. It’s the family. Our family is john abbott’s legacy, and I’ve got to find a way to make jack and ashley focus on that. I love you so much and I don’t want to go away again. Please, won’t you let me stay?

John: Well, will you do plan to continue school?

Traci: Well, of course I do. I– I just want to be around my family and my friends.

[ John laughing ]

John: You know, honey, I had hoped you’d make this decision.

Traci: Yeah?

John: Yes. I have loved having you girls home. I mean, for the first time, all of our family together, after all these years, I dreaded the idea of you leaving.

[ Traci chuckling ]

Traci: Why didn’t you tell me?

John: Well, because you made your decision. I didn’t want to influence it.

Traci: And I didn’t want to disappoint you.

[ Traci laughing ]

John: You know something, young lady?

Traci: What?

John: I think we got here failure to communicate.

[ Both laughing ]

Traci: Dad, I think we ought to talk more.

John: Especially, since you’re going to be here now. Let’s do that.

Traci: Oh, we will. I promise we will. Thanks for being so understanding, dad.

John: Have I told you something lately? Awful good having you home again.

[ Both laughing ]

Traci: Well, it’s wonderful to be home. Especially since I have a super neat dad.

John: Super neat?

Traci: [ Laughing ] Yeah. Super, super neat.

John: I love you.

[ Both chuckling ]

[ Traci sighing in relief ]

[ Traci sighing ]

Zelda: You know, I have watched you write your way out of a million tricky situations. Now, you are going to have to tackle this one the exact same way. Head on. Underneath that sweet, measured personality of yours is a will of iron.

[ Traci laughing ]

Traci: I don’t know about that, but you’re right. I will do it. I– I will try to find a way for– for jack and ashley to understand that peace is the only way, even if I have to slap them upside the head with it to make them see.

Zelda: That’s the spirit. That’s it.

[ Traci laughing ]

Ashley: You need to check yourself, billy, before you dismiss me and my concerns.

Billy: I understand your concerns, ash, I just don’t agree with them. And I’m going to double down on what I said the last time we had this conversation. You try to oust jack from this company, I’m gonna fight you on it.

Ashley: You’re such a kiss ass, aren’t you? When you’re so beholden to your big brother for letting you back in, you’re sitting in your big chair, you’re willing to ignore the wolf that’s waiting outside the door, just waiting to sink her fangs into this company?

Billy: You gotta stop, ash. You’re embarrassing yourself.

Ashley: What’s embarrassing, is your ignorance, billy.

Billy: This is out of control. And I’m going to believe this is tucker pushing you to this extreme, getting you all riled up about something that hasn’t happened. Ashley, he’s using you.

Ashley: Okay, so the chauvinist is back, right? Because god forbid your sister has an opinion that’s valid on her own.

Billy: I just expect better from you, okay? Either that or he’s just playing into this whole worry about diane. He’s making you believe that it’s you and him against the world and it’s total bs.

Ashley: What’s bs is every word that’s coming out of your mouth.

Billy: Okay, so, let’s just run this back for a second, okay? Let’s say that you succeed and you get jack kicked out of this company. And who’s next? Me? Because I’m beholden? Then, who’s going to run the day-to-day? Abby and traci? No. Kyle and summer? No. They run a subsidiary. So, that leaves you and tucker, the king and queen of the castle. Which works out perfect for tucker, right? It’s exactly what he wanted.

Ashley: Oh, my god.

Billy: You remember that he’s the one that asked diane to funnel him confidential financial records, which diane refused to do.

Ashley: Please, just stop! You have no concept at all of my relationship with tucker!

Billy: What I do know is that tucker has wanted this company since the day he stepped foot back in this city and he still wants it. So let me just tell you right now, I’m not gonna let that happen. I am team jack all the way.

Jack: I’m relieved to know I can count on you against our sister’s relentless onslaught.

Ashley: Look at this little boys club. Such a joke.

Jack: I think the joke’s on you for allowing tucker to worm his way back into your heart.

Ashley: Really? Well, you got sucked into diane, didn’t you? Just like that.

Billy: No, it’s you. Tucker has suckered you.

Ashley: You know, I’ve had enough of you, billy. Why don’t you just take a walk?

Jack: Who the hell are you talking to like that?

Ashley: You don’t really have any business, do you? Sitting behind that desk, pretending that you know how to run a company, considering your long history of poor judgment calls. Didn’t you pass out when you were 16 in the snow? You almost died because you were drunk. Granted you were just a kid, but not that long ago, didn’t you lose the what, the company yacht in a poker game? I mean, seriously, billy, I don’t think you should even be a part of this conversation, so…

Billy: You know I disagreed with her, jack, so, I guess, that’s what I deserve.

Jack: I’m afraid our sister is so blinded by her hatred she can’t think straight. Pretty soon, she’s going to come to regret that.

Ashley: Was that a threat?

Jack: You take that anyway you would like it, ashley.

Ashley: Okay, well, you’re going to be sorry for invalidating me, jack, because you are so brainwashed you don’t know what the hell you’re doing anymore.

Jack: Wow.

[ Phone chiming ]

Billy: That’s from traci calling a family meeting. No excuses. You get the same thing.

Ashley: Yeah. What happened?

Jack: You think it’s harrison?

Ashley: We gotta go. Come on. And what kind of milk?

Diane: Summer, I’m so sorry. You must be feeling so helpless and– and scared.

Summer: I shouldn’t have said anything.

Diane: Why not?

Summer: ‘Cause I wish that I didn’t feel the need to go to my mother-in-law about any of this.

[ Diane chuckling ]

Diane: Well, I– I want you to know that I’m here for you. However I can be. No judgment.

Summer: Diane, if you… meant what you said about feeling… responsible about what was set in motion, then maybe, this is a way to make amends. Help me and kyle through this. Look, when I look into his eyes, I can see that he’s in so much pain and… he’s so disillusioned with me. He’s so cold.

Diane: Well, jack has looked at me that way many times over the years, and when someone you care about is disappointed in you, it’s– it’s heartbreaking. But that’s the past for us. And I am hoping that will soon be the case for you and kyle.

Summer: But the difference is– is jack kept his distance from you until you earned his trust. I had kyle’s trust. And I broke it. I mean, I– I– I shut him out. I– I didn’t trust him with my secrets, with my feelings. I– I put my mom first.

Diane: Well, I have spoken to kyle and I will speak to him again because– [ Sighing ] Look, I understand why you made the choices you did and I am not going to hold it against you. This– this feud I have with phyllis started years ago, before you were even born. But now, it seems like our children are suffering because of it. So believe me when I say that despite everything, I will do whatever I can to help you and kyle find each other again. Find the love you share. This family has had enough conflict and chaos and it– it just needs more love like yours and kyle’S.

Summer: Thank you, diane. Thank you. Okay, I need to pull myself together before I go into the office.

Diane: Of course.

[ Diane sighing ]

[ Both laughing ]

Traci: Diane.

Diane: Oh, good morning.

Traci: Um, may i introduce zelda? This is my agent from new york.

Zelda: It’s a pleasure to meet you, diane.

Diane: Likewise.

Zelda: Now, really, I am so happy to meet you. I handle fiction, not memoirs, but I suspect you have got one hell of a book in you.

Diane: Whereas I keep hoping people are getting tired of hearing about me. It sure would make my life a lot easier.

Zelda: No, not at all.

Summer: Hello.

Zelda: Oh, you must be summer.

Summer: Yes.

Zelda: I’m zelda, traci’s agent. I have heard all about you from traci. All good.

[ Both chuckling ]

Summer: Okay, well, that’s nice to hear. What’s going on?

Traci: Oh, just a shot in the dark, but I have to try.

Diane: Try what?

Traci: Um– oh.

Jack: Zelda winford. I didn’t know you were in town.

Zelda: You know me. Always full of surprises.

Jack: You always are. Excuse me. Uh, everything all right? Uh, when I got your text, I worried that it was harrison.

Diane: No, he’s upstairs with the nanny, playing with cars.

Jack: So then the urgent family meeting is–

Traci: Are billy and ashley right behind you?

Jack: We were in the office together when you summoned us here. Here they are now.

Traci: Okay, all good. Good. Thank you so much for coming over so quickly.

Billy: Is everything okay, trace?

Ashley: Should we be worried?

Traci: No, no. Everything’s fine. It’s fine. It’s not harrison. Everything’s good. Uh, you remember zelda?

Ashley: Of course. It’s nice to see you again.

Zelda: Nice to see you, ashley.

Billy: Hey, zelda. It’s billy. We met years ago when I was in manhattan to visit traci.

Zelda: Yes, we all had dinner together.

Jack: We did. That little armenian place on second avenue. Lamb chops in the city.

Zelda: Excellent memory.

Traci: Okay, well, we’re waiting for one more. So until then, does anybody need anything? Some– something to drink? Um, okay.

Zelda: Well, it seems like the gang’s all here, almost. So, I am going to get out of your hair.

Traci: I’m going to try to get back to the club to say goodbye before you leave, okay?

Zelda: I’m not going to hold you to that. You’ve got a job to do. Go get ’em, tiger.

Traci: Thank you.

Diane: Goodbye.

Jack: Bye, zelda.

Zelda: Hello.

Kyle: Aunt traci, I got your text as I was driving to work. Is harrison okay?

Traci: Yes, everything’s fine. Harrison’s fine, honey. Um, I’m sorry, there was no real emergency, per se, but what I have to talk about is really urgent. Summer, diane, I hope you’ll understand when I ask you to please excuse us while we discuss some private family matters.

Jack: Diane is part of this family now. Every bit as much as summer is.

Ashley: Well, then I guess I should ask tucker to join us as well.

Billy: This should be exciting.

Jack: So you’re intent on forcing this guy down our throats?

Ashley: Look who’s talking, jack.

Traci: Enough. Would you please stop this? This is exactly why I called you here today. All this bickering and tension and baiting each other. It is tearing this family apart. It’s got to stop. Jack, actually, the two of you can barely exchange a civil word. Kyle and summer are hardly speaking to each other. And our home? It’s become a battleground and I can’t take it anymore. Please. If– if our father was here, what would he think? I won’t let me moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Ashley: Frankly, our father would be appalled that jack let diane back into his life again. I mean, do you really think this is the kind of love that he would have chosen for you? Are you kidding me?

Jack: He would be just as furious that you’re allowing tucker to manipulate you for his own gain.

Traci: Or he would ask you both to stop that. Be kinder. Try to be more understanding of each other’s quest to try to find a loving relationship. John abbott was a strong and focused businessman, but he was fair. He believed in redemption and second chances for the people he cared about.

Jack: We’re teetering on the brink with these damn loans and hemorrhaging money getting tuvia started. I don’t know. Should I have waited? Did I rush things to– honestly, I keep wondering if– if I’m leading this company or if I’m allowing my contempt for victor newman to lead me.

John: Jack, I want you to listen to me. There’s something you’re forgetting. You know, we have been working toward entering this market for a very long time. It has a huge potential and it is going to pay off. And we knew this long before the newmans got involved. Now, you have done nothing wrong. You have nothing to be ashamed of and you have done nothing foolhardy. Now, I believe in you. And don’t you ever forget that.

Ashley: I’m sorry. I can’t do it. I can’t stand here and talk about our family and love and especially our father with diane standing here. I just– I appreciate what you’re doing, traci. I really do. I understand that you’re trying to mend the cracks in our family, but something just–

Diane: Oh, ashley, please, just stop. I will leave–

Ashley: Good.

Diane: And then you can all speak together, maybe more freely as a family.

Jack: That is more than gracious of you, sweetheart.

Diane: Yes, family first. And good luck hashing this all out. And whereas ashley might be determined to get you all to choose sides, just know that that is– that is not what I want.

Kyle: Thanks, mom.

Summer: I’ll go with you.

Traci: Okay, um, everybody, take a seat. Let’s get down to it. What are we going to do to get past all of this anger and bitterness that has taken over our family lately? And if daddy was here, how would he break this impasse?

Billy: He’d tell us to do exactly what you just told us to do. Sit down. Talk to each other kindly, rationally, okay? We’re not hearing each other. That’s the problem here. Everyone’s shouting. We’re not listening.

Jack: I don’t need anyone to tell me what dad would want. I have his voice inside my head all the time, guiding me on the right path, telling me when I crossed the line.

John: Welcome home, son.

Jack: Back where I belong.

John: Well, it took you time to realize that, but you’ve accepted responsibility for your mistakes and you’re ready to be the leader I always knew you could be. I am so proud of you, jack.

Jack: I love to hear those words. And I think you’re gonna be very happy with my plans for the company. We’re gonna move into a whole new market.

John: Whoa, whoa, whoa. As long as you pace yourself and remember, you’re just getting–

Jack: Just getting off the pills, I know. I will take care of myself.

[ John laughing ]

John: You know, sometimes I wonder if you’ll ever learn how. You drive yourself so hard, son. And it’s time to let a little grace in your life. You don’t have to be the best that you can be with everything you do. I’m not gonna love you any less. And another thing, for god’s sake, stop driving away the people that are trying to help you.

Jack: Well, I did make a mess of that, didn’t I?

John: But you clean it up. And jackie, you bring the abbott family back together again.

Billy: I think now is a perfect time to listen to that voice, jack. Moving forward with node- positive breast cancer

Ashley: I carry daddy in my heart, too, jack. You know, you don’t have a monopoly on that.

Jack: I never said I did.

Ashley: He always had the best advice, didn’t he? I mean, didn’t he always? I mean, no matter how upset we would be about things, I mean, we could just always– always turn to dad. He knew everything, all the right things to say.

John: You know, it just– it just breaks my heart, that you’re going through this.

Ashley: I just feel so completely empty inside.

John: Oh, my beauty. You know, I wish I– I wish I could just take you in my arms and make it all go away like it did when you were a little girl.

Ashley: I’m not a little girl anymore. This world, boy, it could be so cruel, huh? It’s just so hurtful. Dad, is this pain ever gonna go away?

John: My baby.

Traci: He was our true north.

Billy: And still is.

Traci: Yeah. Everything I learned about morals and ethics and the right way to treat people, I learned from john abbott.

Jack: I think every one of us here could say that. Including you, son.

Kyle: I was so young when he died. I hardly remember him, but from stories I’ve heard, I think I know what kind of man he was.

Ashley: It killed him when he saw his kids in pain.

Jack: Especially when the source of that pain was someone in the family.

John: I am worried, my beauty.

Ashley: About what?

John: You and jack. And what’s happening between the two of you. Honey, all this animosity, it’s not good for you or for the company. And it has to stop. Now, I am counting on you to make the first move.

[ Ashley sighing ]

Ashley: Daddy hated it when his kids were fighting.

Jack: What meant so much to me about being an abbott was whenever times were tough, and we had our share of tough times, we’d always dig deep. We’d come together, stay united as a family. Whatever our differences, whatever our quarrels, they didn’t consume us. At least not for long.

Billy: Hear, hear.

Traci: Well, I’m feeling a little more hopeful than I have in weeks.

Ashley: I feel better not being quite as angry with you, jack.

Traci: So hopefully, we’ve found enough common ground to even consider the possibility of resolving our differences.

Jack: Right now, I would settle for not constantly being at each other’s throats.

Ashley: Aim high, jack.

Traci: I don’t know. Co-existing without bloodshed? That seems a lofty goal. Kyle. I know we’ve been talking a lot about jack and ashley, but your feelings matter here, too.

Kyle: Am I being too quiet?

Traci: Yeah, you kind of are. I think we’d all like to know what you’re thinking. I know I would.

Kyle: I can’t force you to like or trust my mom, any more than you can force my dad to like or trust tucker, although maybe you could both turn down the volume.

Jack: Worth a try.

Kyle: And yes, I have my own issues going on with summer and it’s a lot for me to deal with. So, right now, that takes precedent.

Traci: I know that you feel hurt and disillusioned by her right now, and– and for good reason, but don’t you think summer’s guilt is punishment enough?

Kyle: If I thought she was being sincere, I might agree with you.

Billy: So you don’t think she’s being sincere?

[ Kyle sighing ]

Kyle: Does summer feel bad about what she did? Or does summer feel bad that she got caught?

Jack: Oh, that is a question that has been asked of her mother for years and years again and again.

Kyle: Right. I mean, would summer be feeling the same guilt if she had been able to keep her secret? Would she have gone on letting us think that phyllis was dead in order to protect her?

Ashley: That’s an excellent question.

Traci: I don’t think maliciously she would–

Jack: I’d like to think eventually she’d come clean.

Kyle: Okay, okay, okay. The problem is, we’ll never know. And I’m not sure if I can live with that.

[ Jack sighing ]

Traci: Kyle. Um, look. We have all been in a situation where we didn’t think we’re going to be able to forgive the person who hurt us. I felt that way about lauren a number of times. I felt that way about ashley and brad for a time, but I did it. It took a long time and it was really hard, but it was really worth it. Because all of that anger and recrimination, it– it– it takes up too much space in your brain and in your heart. And it squeezes out all the room that’s left for joy and happiness.

Kyle: I admire that about you, aunt traci. That your heart is so big and open. But I’m not there yet with summer. I don’t know if I ever will be.

Jack: The simple truth is you can’t force forgiveness. It’s a choice we make. You have to want to fix things.

Billy: Amen.

Traci: I can’t believe that any child that was raised by john abbott would choose anger over healing. If I thought that was true, I– I just couldn’t bear it. Ultomiris is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis

Billy: I’m gonna head back to the office and get some work done.

Jack: I’ll meet you there.

Billy: You know, for what it’s worth… I love you. Both of you and I want you both to be happy. I know I’m on the outside, okay? I always have been. I’m not one of dina’s kids, but I respect you both and I want to keep respecting you. No matter who you decide to marry.

Jack: Can we get past this?

Ashley: I don’t know, jack. Can we?

Traci: Okay, so what time is your flight to laguardia?

Zelda: Oh, 1:15.

Traci: Oh, you have plenty of time.

Zelda: Well, if there’s one thing I hate, it’s running through the airport in high heels.

Traci: [ Laughing ] Zelda, I just want to thank you again so much for convincing me to try with my family. Thank you.

Zelda: Oh, it’s my immense pleasure. I don’t know if it made much difference. We’ll just have to hope.

Zelda: Yeah.

[ John laughing ]

John: Oh, honey. Good to see you. Now let me look at you. Happy new year. I love you, jack. Well, you two sure know how to make a father feel proud. Traci. Partners.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: Victoria, what have you done?

Victoria: Done? Uh, I’ve done plenty. It’s been a very productive morning. Is there something in particular that you’re referring to?

Nikki: I saw nicholas tearing out of here looking none too pleased. Wasn’t hard to guess what that was about.

Victoria: And you would be right.

Nikki: You asked him to take a leave from work, didn’t you?

Victoria: It was more than just an ask.

Nikki: Oh, my god. Why would you do that? I told you it was a bad idea.

Victoria: It was the right thing to do.

[ Nikki groaning ]

Tucker: Hey, dr. Hastings, how are you? Oh. Sorry, it’s, uh, just mr. Hastings now, isn’t it?

Nate: Hello, tucker.

Tucker: How’s the business world treating?

Nate: Great. Uh, I’m proud of quite a few new accomplishments I’ve managed to pull off at newman media. And I like to think I can take some credit for the increase in the profit margin as a result.

Tucker: I’m sure audra charles could take some of that credit too, right?

[ Nate scoffing ] Yeah, she’s a spitfire, that one, huh. And brilliant.

Nate: Very. And now, she’s finally being given the opportunity to shine. I know exactly how that feels.

Tucker: Oh, you mean after what happened to you at chancellor-winters?

Nate: I wasn’t treated right there. My ideas and opinions weren’t valued, and that was a– that was a frustrating experience. I get the feeling you clearly didn’t appreciate audra at your former company or she’d still be there.

Tucker: Oh, I don’t know if I’d go that far.

Nate: Yeah, right. Now, if you excuse me, I’ve got work to do.

Tucker: Some work to do.

[ Laughing ]

Nick: Gotta hand it to you, nate.

Nate: Why is that?

Nick: Pretty smooth, man. And you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Tucker: Uh, can I get another one please? This could be interesting.

Adam: Excuse me, nurse. Has miss spectra been released?

Nurse: No, she’s been taken for some final tests to be sure she’s ready for discharge.

Adam: All right, so she could get out possibly today?

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: What are you doing here, adam? Why do you keep coming back when I asked you to stay away?

Adam: Please, sally, will you hear me out? Don’t push me away. Not now. Not after everything that has happened. (Smelling)

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

Sally: How many times do I have to tell you I don’t want you here right now and I do not want to see you?

Adam: I know that seeing me is a painful reminder of everything that we just lost. Okay? I– I feel the same pain that you were feeling, but please just let me help you get through this. I mean, at least tell me how you’re feeling.

Sally: I’m fine, apparently. At least physically. Doctor encouraged me to walk around as much as I can.

Adam: Well, that’s good. I’m glad that you survived it all, but emotionally, I know that you’re as wrecked as I am. And look, I don’t wanna push, but I feel like what I have to say will help you.

Sally: [ Sighing ] Adam, how many times do I have to tell you?

Adam: Let– let me just– let me tell you why everything went down the way that it did. Now that the sad reality has a chance to sink in, let me explain more fully why I made the decision that I did.

Sally: I already know why you did it. I heard everything that you said when you thought that I was asleep earlier. I– I didn’t miss a word. How much you still love me. And how hard that decision was for you to make. But… if you were faced with the same situation again, you would make the same decision and honestly, that is the last thing that I want to hear right now.

Nate: What’s going on, nick? Where’s all this hostility coming from?

Nick: Don’t insult my intelligence.

Nate: I’m not insulting your intelligence. Why would I do that, nick? What is the problem?

Nick: You. You’re the problem. I knew day one hiring you was a big mistake.

Nate: Mistake? I brought nothing but success to newman media.

Nick: Oh, I don’t deny that. You seem to be a very quick study.

Nate: So what if I am? The numbers don’t lie and I have a great mentor.

Nick: Oh, is that what she is? A mentor? Or is she a target? Like what you tried to pull with your families company?

[ Nate laughing ]

Nate: Really, nick? I can’t believe you’re still throwing that back in my face.

Nick: And I can’t believe you think a betrayal like that could be so easily forgotten. I mean, I gotta wonder how far you would have taken this if elena hadn’t made you come clean. I mean, would you and my sister be running your family’s company? The one you tried to steal from your cousins right now? What I find really interesting about this, nate, is my sister seems to be pretty central to all of your big power moves.

Victoria: Believe me, nicholas will get past his initial upset and he’ll realize that he truly needs this little break.

Nikki: I doubt that very much. Why are you forcing this on him? Especially with everything else that’s going on in his life right now? I asked you not to push him, or at the very least, let him make the decision.

Victoria: You know how stubborn he can be. Besides, his ordeal with cameron and sally losing her baby, it’s too much for anyone to handle all at once.

Nikki: Victoria, you should have let him make the call.

Victoria: I made the right decision for nicholas and for the company. He– he may not see that for himself right now.

Nikki: Well, I’m not sure I can see it either. So, what happens next? What’s your next move?

Victoria: Next move? There is no next move. How many times do I have to say it? This isn’t part of some scheme to oust my brother from the company and quite frankly, I am sick and tired of people second guessing my decisions for this company.

Victor: What’s going on? That’s me before dawn powerwash.

Nikki: Victoria has forced nicholas to take a leave of absence.

Victor: Why would you do that?

Nikki: Well, because she decided that with all the trauma, with sally losing her baby and cameron kirsten terrorizing sharon and faith, that he must take a break from the company, whether he wants to or not.

Victoria: Nicholas thinks that he can handle this all. I don’t think that’s wise. And I told him as much. And I– I brought up the idea of him taking a little time off.

Nikki: Which, if you recall, is exactly what I asked you after the whole ashland locke debacle, but you refused to take time off. You said you needed to focus on work.

Victoria: But– look, those are completely different situations. You can’t compare the two. Three of the women in nick’s life that he loves the most have been through horrific situations and they need him right now.

Nikki: Nicholas knows what he needs to do to take care of his family.

Victor: Your brother is perfectly capable of focusing on his job while handling his personal affairs.

Victoria: But this is not about his capability. I’m not worried about that. What I’m worried about is him carrying around this heavy burden on top of his workload. And look, newman is in a strong enough position. We can afford for nick to take a little time to himself. He’ll thank me for it later,

Nikki: But who are you to make that decision for him?

Victoria: It’s my decision to make. I am looking out for everyone concerned, including this company.

Nikki: Did you ever stop to think that nicholas needs a distraction like work with everything else that’s going on with him right now?

Victoria: Why is everyone making such a big deal out of this?

Nikki: While I suspect that there’s more at play here than you’re saying. And I believe it has something to do with your relationship with nate hastings.

Nate: You’re way off the mark here, nick. There is no clandestine plan going on with victoria and me.

Nick: Why should i believe you?

Nate: Look, I know you’re going through a lot of personal issues right now, and I get it. It’s a lot for anyone to handle, so I’m going to give you a break and cut you some slack this time.

Nick: Don’t do that. Don’t use that against me. You and victoria are using my personal issues to shove me aside.

Nate: Nobody is trying to shove you aside.

Nick: Nate, just stop, all right? And don’t act like you didn’t know vic was going to force me into this leave of absence. I mean, how long is it going to be before she makes you interim coo? Or has she done that already?

Adam: I don’t regret that you heard me pour my heart out. Maybe if I’d known you were listening, I wouldn’t have opened up so completely, but I did. You heard it all. You heard the hard, painful truth.

Sally: Please, adam.

Adam: What? What, sally?

[ Sally sighing ] Talk to me. Did I say something that brought up questions you want answered? Or is there something you want to say back to me?

Sally: There’s nothing that can change or fix this decision that you’ve made. How can I ever forgive you? Why didn’t you give the word to save our baby’s life?

Adam: Don’t you see? I couldn’T. I had to give the word to save yours. She found it.

Adam: Don’t– don’t push me away. Just– just hear me out. How could you think that I could give a blanket permission that could take your life?

Sally: So, instead, you sacrificed our baby.

Adam: I had to make a lifesaving decision. Time was of the essence. Okay, when you– when you heard me before, you couldn’t look into my eyes, but now you can. Sally, we have never been able to lie to each other with much success, but if you would just look at me, you will know that I mean every word. You will see how much I am grieving our little baby girl and how I will never get over something like that, but at least I’m not grieving you. Even if I had opted to save the baby, there was no guarantee that she was going to live. I couldn’t risk losing both of you. And I’ll never regret saving you because you deserve to live.

Sally: Yes, but ava deserved to live too.

Adam: But you will be a mother again someday. You’ll be the mother that you always wanted to be. And even though I won’t be the father, your next baby will be the luckiest little being in the world. Because she’ll have you as her mother. If I could only save one life for sure, it had to be yours.

Sally: Just go. Please just go.

Victoria: Why would you assume that nick’s leave of absence has anything to do with nate?

Nikki: Well, it’s pretty obvious since he’s already delegating newman media work to audra.

Victoria: And? Is there a problem with that? I mean, she is his coo.

Nikki: It’s very presumptuous, victoria.

Victoria: Okay, fine, big deal. What if nate comes in here and helps me to run newman while nick’s taking some time off? Look, he’s already proven himself. He’s smart. He’s forward thinking. He’s loyal. Dad, you said yourself how impressed you are with him.

Victor: Sweetheart. You also happened to be romantically involved with him, don’t you? Was he part of the decision making process before this started?

Nikki: Or was it his idea from the very beginning?

Victoria: I refuse to be interrogated by my parents about this. Have you lost your confidence in my ability to do my job? Look, if you have a problem with the way that I’m running this company, then why don’t you just let me go?

[ Door shuts closed ]

Victor: We struck a nerve, didn’t we? That troubles me.

Nate: You’ve been through a hell of an ordeal. Victoria thinks you can use this time. She is looking out for you and I’m not looking to take your place.

Nick: All right, so if she asks, you’re gonna say no?

Nate: Come on, nick.

Nick: I’m looking at the big picture, nate. That is the future of my family’s company.

Nate: You honestly don’t believe I’m a danger to this company now, do you? I care too much for victoria. I only want to help her, help newman. I’m not trying to hurt it in any way and if she wants to make me interim coo, that’s her call. Now, don’t get me wrong, I have no reason to believe that’s even part of her plan, but regardless, it’s her decision to make.

Nick: See, I’m not buying this innocent act of yours for one second, so let me break it down for you.

[ Nate sighing ]

Nate: Go ahead.

Nick: I’m not upset with vic. I know she loves and cares about me. She may have my best interests at heart, but you? You are the one I worry about. Because I think your plan is to take full advantage of this situation.

[ Nate sighing ]

[ Adam sighing ]

Audra: Well, hello there.

[ Adam sighing ] You certainly look like a man with a lot on your mind. Adam newman, am I right?

Adam: Uh-huh.

Audra: I’ll have a bourbon, neat, please.

Adam: Do I even know you?

Audra: Not yet. But you should.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Looking for a bladder leak pad

that keeps you dry?

[ Sally sighing ]

Nurse: Excuse me, miss spectra? Here are your release papers. It’s been approved. Someone will be in shortly to discuss these forms with you.

Sally: Thank you.

Audra: Audra charles, coo newman media.

Adam: Whatever it is you want, miss charles, I’m not interested. No matter how flirtatious you try to be.

Audra: Oh, um… no flirtation intended. Look, I was merely curious about my new competition, that’s all.

Adam: Well, yes, that is exactly what I am. I am your newest and most lethal competition.

Audra: Wow, that sounds almost ominous. How afraid should I be? Look, from what I understand here, company du jour, mccall is struggling to get back on its feet and a man with your track record doesn’t help its chances.

Adam: I see you have done your research.

Audra: Well, it’s hard to avoid the many sordid exploits of adam newman in this town.

Adam: Well, I wouldn’t believe half of what you hear. But speaking of exploits, should I believe the one that you’re soon going to be in charge of the whole show at newman media?

Audra: Where did you hear that?

Adam: Oh, I have a pretty good handle on nate hastings. Victoria and he have gotten involved in, what would you say, um, extracurricular kind of affair, but I’m sure you already know that. So, I can only assume that victoria will soon be dragging him into the business of the parent company. Something I’m sure that nate covets.

Audra: Hmm, well, looks like you’ve done quite a bit of research on your own.

Adam: Mm-hmm, enough to know that newman media is going to need somebody that’s perfectly positioned to step up.

Audra: Well, who am i to speculate, but if you are right, I am more than ready.

Adam: Yeah, I just bet you are.

[ Victor sighing ]

Nikki: This is really weighing on you, isn’t?

Victor: Yeah. I mean, it’s not only nicholas and victoria, it’s the whole family is at odds. I don’t like it.

Nikki: I can’t argue with that.

Victor: Adam lost his child. We almost lost beautiful faith to that cameron bastard. And everyone is going off in all kinds of directions.

Nikki: It does seem that way. Faith is going back to school, victoria’s trying to drive nicholas away.

Victor: And you know, adam… is clearly on a downward spiral.

Nikki: Not to mention noah’s departure. And johnny and katie are going to be heading to boarding school this fall.

Victor: You know how upsetting that is to me? Considering that I had thought I had imbued everyone with a sense of, “family sticks together, whatever problems we have, we resolve it together.”

Nikki: And you did an excellent job of that. Believe me, they know it deep in their heart. Sometimes, they just need a little reminding.

Victor: I guess you’re right. But one thing I can assure you. I bet you nate hastings has something to do with our son’s departure.

Nate: You know, nick… I remember when we were friends. What happened? When did that stop?

Nick: Maybe it’s when you lied to my face about being with elena while she was with devon. Now… everybody knows my story. Who am I to throw stones about infidelity? So, it’s probably because you betrayed your family when you tried to sell out neil’s company.

Nate: Man. [ Chuckling ] You really won’t let that go, will you?

Nick: He was my friend. The loyalty that neil showed to the people he cared about, his family and friends was unmatched. It’s one of the things I loved most about him.

Nate: So, what are you saying? I’m not loyal to the people I love like my uncle was?

Nick: Nate, do you think what you did was loyal?

Nate: Nick, I ultimately did not betray anyone. Yes, I was angry at being overlooked and constantly demoralized, but in the end… I couldn’t, couldn’t go through with it.

Nick: Well, look at that. Obviously, there’s a conscience in there somewhere.

Nate: I’ve tried to make up for it ever since. I’ve done everything I possibly could to prove my regret for the hurt I caused. Nick, I wish there was something I could say or do to allay your suspicions of me. Anything that could help us get back to some semblance of a friendship we used to have.

Nick: I know exactly what you can do. Are you ready for this? Stay in your lane at newman media. You don’t need to go anywhere near newman enterprises. Now, nate, if you do that, you’ll prove to everyone, especially me, that this isn’t part of some master plan that you’ve cooked up with my sister. How’s that sound? Does it sound like a good solution?

Nate: I hear you, nick. And I respect where you’re coming from. But if victoria needs my input, I’m not going to say no.

Nick: Well, there it is.

[ Nate sighing ] My husband and I have never been more active.

Nate: I’ve just about had it with all your insults and insinuations.

Nick: Why is that? I haven’t said anything that isn’t true, have I?

Nate: Aren’t you supposed to be using this personal time to take care of all the things and turmoil in your life right now?

Nick: Yeah, vic said I should be using this time to take care of the people I love, so that’s exactly what I’m doing. I’m trying to keep them safe.

Nate: Hm. From me.

Nick: I’m glad you finally admit it.

Nate: Nick, I am genuinely sorry to hear what you’ve had to endure these past few days. Genuinely. But don’t blame me because you couldn’t stop your daughter from being kidnapped. Or for the fact that you weren’t there for sally when she lost her baby.

Tucker: Hey, victoria. Better break that up before it gets physical.

Victoria: You didn’t waste anytime, did you? You just had to come here and blame nate for my decision for your time off? And wrongly so, I might add.

Nate: Everything’s fine, victoria. I don’t fault nick for jumping to conclusions. Your brother’s had this idea in his head for quite some time now, but no worries. I can handle it.

[ Phone chiming ]

Nick: You know what? You two, uh, just do exactly whatever it is you think you got to do. Just remember, plans like this usually end up crashing and burning.

Audra: You know, when I arrived in genoa city, I first considered uh, looking for a little pied-a-terre to settle into. But I’m glad I decided to stay here, you know, at the club. It’s just so convenient having the lounge downstairs. You know, it turns out, this is a hot spot where all the movers and shakers seem to stop through.

Tucker: Hi there.

Adam: Are you– are you looking to cause more trouble, tucker? Or you just trying to stick your nose in where it doesn’t belong?

[ Tucker chuckling ]

Tucker: Actually, I had heard that sally spectra lost her child and so I was going to offer my condolences.

Adam: Wait a minute, how– how do you even know about that?

Tucker: There are no secrets, adam. Isn’t that right, audra?

Adam: I’m sorry, I’m not interested in discussing my personal situation with you, tucker. And I’m certainly, not going to be discussing my business plan with my soon-to-be rival in charge.

Tucker: Rival in charge? Have you pulled it off? Are you already being fitted for the crown?

Nikki: I refuse to believe that victoria would allow herself to be manipulated by a man after everything that happened with ashland. She learned that lesson the hard way.

Victor: Yeah. I don’t think she would ever allow it.

Nikki: So, do you think she’s the one driving this?

Victor: Mm-hmm, I do. But… nate hastings is more than eager to follow her. And that, I don’t like.

Nick: Hey. How are you feeling?

Sally: I am ready to go, that’s for sure. Just being here makes my heart ache. And having to deal with adam doesn’t help. It messes me up even more every time I have to see him.

Nick: I understand. I’m not going to keep pushing you to forgive him. That’s gonna have to be something you work out on your own. But in the meantime, let’s get you out of here.

Sally: Okay.

Nick: There is… one important thing I need to know.

Sally: What is that?

Nick: Where exactly am I taking you? Have you given any thought to my offer of… moving in with me? And what kind of milk?

Sally: I love the way you’re always looking out for me. You’re the sweetest man that I know, and I really am touched by your offer, but… moving in with you and christian is a really big, important step, so I hope you don’t mind if I just… need some time to think about it.

Nick: Yeah, of course. Take as much time as you need.

Sally: You know what I really want right now?

Nick: Name it.

Sally: I want to go back to my room at the athletic club and take a long, hot shower. And rest in something that is not a hospital bed.

Nick: Let’s do it.

[ Sally chuckling ] Take it easy.

Sally: I just found out that it was yours.

Adam: Okay, and– I rea– I really don’t mean to be insensitive, but how do you know like, for sure? I assume you, nick, you know.

Sally: Yeah, um, I had a paternity test that tested nick’s dna and it ruled him out. You were the only other possibility.

[ Adam chuckling ]

Adam: Wow. Um…

[ Laughing ] I’m not sure what to say right now.

Sally: Well, just to be clear… this… this changes nothing. Emotionally.

Adam: Actually, I disagree with that. This– yeah, I mean, this changes everything.

[ Sally grunting ] What’s wrong? You okay?

Sally: Yeah, I just haven’t been sure of what I’ve been feeling has… been the baby moving, but I– I think this is it.

Adam: What?

[ Both laughing ] That is definitely a moving baby. Wow. He or she, wow, that is quite a kick.

[ Sally laughing ]

[ Sally chuckles ] I have no idea about little girls.

Sally: Yeah, but you have nieces.

[ Adam laughing ]

Adam: It’s not the same. Uncles get all the fun stuff, dad… I mean, how am I going to be able to say no to our perfect little daughter when she’s looking up at me with those big blue eyes?

Sally: They could be brown.

Adam: Well, no matter what color they are, I am not going to be able to say no.

Sally: You chose me over her?

Adam: No. Look, when you say it like that, that’s not–

Sally: Why? Why would you?

Adam: How could I not?

Sally: She was my everything.

Adam: I couldn’t lose you.

Sally: But you already did, adam. You made that choice a long time ago. I’m not yours anymore. I was hers and she was mine. She was all I had. And you let her die. You didn’t even– you didn’t even try, and fight for her.

Adam: Look, this– sally, this was the hardest decision of my entire life.

Sally: Could you just not envision a life where someone actually needed you, where you had to step up, possibly, on your own, and be the man that nobody thinks you could be?

Adam: I thought that I was making the right choice.

Sally: You destroyed her life.

[ Sally sobbing ] And mine.

Audra: Well, I haven’t been exactly crowned the queen yet, you know, but things are progressing very nicely for me at newman media. All the pieces appear to be falling into place, even though nothing’s official yet.

Tucker: So, it’s just a matter of time. Oh, by the way, I just ran into your boy, nate.

[ Tucker laughing ] He spoke very highly of you. He said you were a very valuable asset to the company.

Audra: And why wouldn’t he?

Tucker: Why wouldn’t he?

[ Audra chuckling ] Oh, audra.

[ Clicking tongue ] Heavy is the head that wears the crown, you know. Just a little warning, be careful what you wish for. That may come with many sleepless nights.

Audra: No warning needed. I know exactly what I’m in for.

Tucker: Yeah, but you don’t have a clue about adam. That guy is someone you have to look out for. I mean, he is trouble. You thought I was trouble? He’s worse.

Audra: Hmm. Adam doesn’t scare me. Look, I can handle him and anything that gets thrown at me.

Tucker: Of course. Who am I to doubt the great audra charles?

Audra: How are you, by the way? Still flying high?

Tucker: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s progressing nicely with ashley. Engagement is still on. Although… she is hell-bent on taking jabot away from her brother.

Audra: That must make you happy now. Since it was your initial goal when you returned to genoa city. Taking over jabot.

Tucker: Yeah, you would think, wouldn’t you? But no. A war over a legacy company is not a fight I wanna fight. It’s– it’s destined to fail.

Victoria: Oh, well, I certainly hope that nicholas didn’t give you too much grief.

Nate: I had it handled. I held my ground and tried to get through to him as best as I could. But you, on the other hand… you look like you’ve been through the ringer.

[ Victoria laughing ]

Victoria: Yes, I– I have. The mom and dad spin dry. Both my parents were all over me about insisting that nick takes time off.

Nate: Does that mean you’re having second thoughts now?

Victoria: Actually, no. It’s just given me more resolve. I, um, made it perfectly clear that this was my decision. But I can’t back down because I know it’s what’s best for the company and for nicholas.

Nate: So, you held your ground. Good for you.

Victoria: I’m sure my brother must have told you that this leave of absence is effective immediately.

Nate: Immediately? That was fast.

Victoria: Yes. Which is why I would like to officially name you interim coo of newman enterprises in nick’s absence. Are you okay with that?

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Jack: You lied to kyle. Again.

Summer: Kyle wants to separate. He asked me to move out.

Audra: My achievements are not confined to the boardroom. I got a few moves. [ Chuckling ]

Kyle: I bet you do. How about you show me some?

Sharon: Faith, could you bring these setups to the patio for me?

Faith: Got it. Mom, dad! Don’t come any closer, it’s a trap!

Cameron: Surprise.

Sharon: Faith. You okay?

Faith: Yeah. Yeah. I– I just had a moment.

Sharon: In the sewer with cameron? I think, um, we can expect some more of those for a while. They won’t just magically go away, but this is how we start. One day at a time, or one hour, if that’s what it takes us to get through. And talking about it. Don’t keep those feelings, the anger, the fear, bottled up. You talk to me or your dad or someone you trust about it, okay?

Faith: I will. But you have to promise as well.

Sharon: Oh, me? I never stop talking. Everyone around here knows that.

[ Sharon chuckling ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Chance: Hey, ladies.

Sharon: Hey, detective. This is a surprise.

Chance: Yeah, I was gonna say the same. I went by the ranch to check on you two and they said you were here. I figured after yesterday, you’d at least take one day off.

Sharon: Well, we talked about it, but we decided it was best to stay busy.

Faith: As opposed to sitting at home and thinking about that maniac cameron almost blowing us up. Which didn’t happen, thanks to you. The other best thing that we could do is get you some coffee and a couple of those butterscotch scones that you love, on the house.

Chance: Oh, come on, that’s not necessary.

Faith: You saved our lives. Scones are definitely necessary.

Chance: How’s she really doing?

Sharon: Um, she’s trying really hard.

Chance: What about you? Tell me how you’re really doing.

Nikki: Good morning.

Victoria: Oh, good morning. Um, I’m glad you’re here. I wanted to discuss the lamarca partnership if you’re up for it. Oh.

Nikki: Yes, of course I am. I’m sorry. I– I just need a hug. Thank you. After everything our family’s been through, I’m not going to take anything or anyone for granted.

Victoria: I’m just glad that everyone’s okay. Thank you for letting me know.

Nikki: They’re still so shaken.

Victoria: Yeah.

Nikki: Do you know that that animal demanded that nicholas choose between sharon’s life and faith’s?

Victoria: Oh, my gosh, that must have been so terrifying. This is gonna take some time for them to get past. That’s yet another reason why nick has earned a well-deserved break, I think.

Nikki: What? Are you still pushing for that? Even now?

Victoria: I think that it’s even more imperative given the trauma that he’s been through. I’m hoping that you’ll support me. I would like for you to join me when I talk to nicholas about taking a leave of absence.

Nikki: Victoria, the last thing your brother needs in his life is more upheaval.

Victoria: It’s so that he can recover from what happened with cameron. It’s no– it’s not compounded.

Nikki: Oh. You don’t know. This isn’t just about cameron kirsten. Sally lost the baby.

Nick: Sally, you awake? I brought you something. Thought it might be a little early for hot sauce. It’s a blueberry muffin.

Sally: Thank you.

Nick: Can I sit with you for a while?

Sally: [ Sighing ] Yeah.

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: Can I do anything?

Sally: He showed up this morning. I pretended I was asleep. Just made me sick knowing he was in my room. How dare he think that anything has changed?

Nick: Sally…

Sally: No, adam let our baby die. And he wants forgiveness.

[ Nick sighing ]

Sally: What?

Nick: Adam lost his child, too. The right age for

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

Victoria: My heart goes out to sally and adam and nicholas. It’s just– losing a child is devastating.

[ Victoria sighing ] But as strong as nicholas is, I think he’s gonna need to step back from his duties at newman, take some time to recover. He’s gotta spend some time with his family and with sally.

Nikki: Are you suggesting this out of sisterly concern?

Victoria: Of course I am. Just as you were concerned about me as a mother after what happened with ashland.

Nikki: Okay. For the record, you refused to take even one minute off. You said that work was the best remedy. Now, nicholas may feel the same way. If he needs a vacation, by all means, he should take all the time that he needs. But it should be his choice, victoria.

Sally: Are you seriously defending your brother and justifying his decision? Adam lost a child because he chose to let her die.

Nick: He was thrust into an impossible situation, sally. And, unfortunately, this morning I understand what that feels like a little bit better.

Sally: What do you mean?

Nick: I was faced with the same situation.

Sally: What?

Nick: Faith or sharon.

Sally: Wh– what?

Nick: Yeah, cameron had strapped some explosives to faith and at the same time was threatening to stab sharon.

Sally: Oh, my god. Are they okay?

Nick: They’re fine. But when cameron forced me to decide who lives and who dies, in that moment, that awful, soul-crushing moment, I couldn’t give an answer. An answer that I could live with.

Sally: What happened?

Nick: We had given sharon a, uh– a knife, and she was able to kill cameron.

Sally: I’m so sorry.

Nick: I’m just grateful everyone’s okay. I’m grateful that I didn’t have to decide who lives and who dies. Sally, adam… he wasn’t spared that. He faced the same black hole I did. I can’t fault his decision.

Sally: It’s just not entirely the same, nick. My little girl never even got a chance to take her first breath. She deserved that and adam took that from her.

Sharon: Well, I’m not up for a big night on the town, but I’m doing okay. I’m mostly grateful that things didn’t turn out any worse than they were. Um, it’s a little unnerving that I took a life, but I know that I made the right decision.

Chance: Well, if it’s any comfort, I saw the look in the guy’s eyes and he was not gonna surrender. I mean, he had no intentions of walking out of there alive, and I think he was willing to take whoever he could with him.

Sharon: To think we came so close to losing faith…

Chance: And we didn’T. She’s alive and she’s giving me free scones.

[ Sharon chuckling ] And that’s because of you, sharon. I mean, what you did, you, uh– you saved lives.

Sharon: Oh, good morning, adam.

Adam: Oh, great. No cops when you need them, but they always show up bright and early for their donuts.

Sharon: Adam, please–

Adam: Where the hell were you and the gcpd when sharon and faith needed you? I swear to god, if anything would have happened to them, it would have been on your head, chance. Hi, I’m darlene

Adam: I mean, how many clues did you miss? I heard the psycho was staying at the athletic club. I mean, what a clever hideout. Nobody would ever think to look there.

Sharon: Adam, okay, that’s enough, all right? You don’t know the whole story. Chance was a hero yesterday.

Adam: A hero? Really?

Sharon: Yeah, if he hadn’t arrived when he did, faith and i might not be here right now.

Adam: Well, maybe if he had found kirsten sooner, faith wouldn’t have been kidnapped at all.

Faith: Be nice. You and chance actually have a lot in common.

Adam: Okay, somehow I doubt that.

Faith: You risked your lives to save mine. So, like it or not, you’re both heroes in my book.

Adam: No, I’m no hero.

Sharon: Give me a minute. Hey.

Adam: Hey. I’m sorry for the lack of manners back there.

Sharon: Well, you’ve been through a lot in the last 24 hours.

[ Sharon sighing ] I’m sorry about the baby.

[ Adam sighing ] How is sally? When will she be released?

Adam: I don’t know. Probably another day or two. I’m not sure, she’s not speaking to me.

Sharon: Okay, well, do me a favor.

Adam: Mm-hmm? What’s that?

Sharon: Be kind to yourself.

Adam: You know, elena recommended that same thing. H-how do you do that? How do you be so generous after what I’ve done to you in the past, sharon? I let you think you lost a baby. A lot of people would say I deserve to be going through every bit of hell that I’m going through right now.

Sharon: Okay, if anybody says that to you, they have no decency. A lot of people have been through the kind of loss you’ve suffered and no one deserves that.

Nikki: Your stance on this wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that you have someone eagerly waiting in the wings to jump behind nicholas’ desk, would it?

Victoria: Mom, let me say this again. This is not some attempt to remove nicholas from the company permanently. He is far too valuable for that. It’s merely a tactical move for newman and it’s in nick’s best interest.

Nikki: And if you care about his best interest, you will see that it needs to be his choice.

[ Knocking on door ]

Nate: This a bad time?

Victoria: It’s perfect timing, as usual.

Nate: Nikki. Oh, I’m sorry if I’m interrupting you.

Nikki: No, no. Good morning. I, uh, just had some ideas I want to run by victoria.

Nikki: Uh, ideas for newman media or newman enterprises?

Nate: Uh, for my purview, newman media, of course. I would never presume to suggest ideas for the parent company when victoria does such a great job of leading us.

Nikki: Ah. Spoken like a man in favor of her agenda regarding nicholas.

Nate: I remember victoria bringing up the matter of nick’s leave to you and victor, but I don’t know of any agenda.

Nick: Did adam know you felt this way before you went to the hospital?

Sally: I mean, it all happened so fast. But I mean, even if there was time, there’s no way that I was letting myself think that things could have gone like this.

Nick: Well, I’m sure there’s no way adam, you know, had any idea it would end like this either. But if I know my brother, I know, in that moment, he was focused on you, sally. He was trying to calm you down and help you through this. But when you lost consciousness, he was all his own, he… he was faced with the worst possible scenario. It’s an impossible choice. So, he went with his first instinct. That instinct to say he loves you. He will always, always put you first.

Sally: I have to ask. Faced with your own impossible choice… would you have saved sharon over faith?

Nick: Like you said… it’s not the same situation.

Sally: You would’ve just saved faith, wouldn’t you? A girl with her whole life ahead of her. Would you have saved my little girl, too? Trelegy for copd.

Nikki: All right. I have a meeting, so I will speak with you later. And I know how you get when you’ve made your mind up about something.

[ Victoria scoffs ] Please wait a few days, see how nicholas comes out of this, and then talk to him before making any rash decisions.

Victoria: I will take that under advisement.

Nikki: And if you insist on forcing this, don’t count on me to back you up. Nate.

Victoria: I apologize for my mother. That was borderline rude.

Nate: Something tells me she’s not too keen on the idea of me picking up the slack if nick takes that leave.

Victoria: But that’s not mom’s call to make. My brother needs to take some personal time off. And I want you more involved in the bigger corporate picture.

Nate: I like the sound of that.

Sharon: Don’t do that, adam, okay? Don’t try to look for reasons to say that this is karma or payback or some kind of cosmic judgment of your past because it’s not. This was a medical emergency. You– you are capable of– of a lot of love and compassion, even if you don’t want anyone to know about it.

Adam: Okay, I am not feeling very loving or compassionate right now.

Sharon: Okay, well, that’s understandable. You’ve been through quite a loss and it’s gonna take some time to get over.

[ Adam scoffing ]

Adam: Get over? My baby died because of me. My one true pure bond with sally is gone and she hates me for it, and I don’t blame her.

[ Phone ringing ]

Nick: Sorry, let me just take this.

[ Sighing ] Hey, vic. What’s up?

Victoria: Mom told me about sharon and faith, and about sally losing the baby.

[ Sighing ] How is everyone? How are you?

Nick: It’s been a rough couple days, I’m sure you can imagine.

Victoria: Well, that’s why I feel bad asking you this given everything you’re dealing with, but… is there any way that you can come by the office later? There are some things that we need to discuss.

Nick: [ Sighing ] Vic, it’s got to be tomorrow, all right? I’m with sally in the hospital.

Sally: Just go do what you need to do.

Nick: I don’t want to leave you.

Sally: No, I’m– I’m exhausted. I– I need to get some sleep anyway.

Victoria: Nick?

Nick: Yeah, I’m– I’m here. Um, yeah. All right. I’ll, uh– I’ll swing by the office, but I got to go out and check on sharon and faith first.

Victoria: All right. I appreciate it. I’ll see you later.

Nick: Yeah. I hate leaving you.

Sally: I’m okay, really. I’m half asleep anyway.

[ Nick sighing ] Look, before I go, um, adam is–

Sally: Look, I don’t wanna talk about adam.

Nick: He loved that little girl as much as you do, sally. His dreams for her were just as big.

[ Sally sighing ] I asked adam to look out for you, because I couldn’T. I’m so sorry about that. But he was here every moment. At your side every second. He was all in. I know how angry you are with him, but I really hope you can find some way to forgive him.

Sally: God, you’re such a good man, standing up for your brother whether or not he deserves it.

Nick: He does. And I’m not just saying it for his sake, all right? Yours too. With everything that’s going on, you don’t need the added stress of hating adam right now. I promise you, if you can find some way to let that go, you will heal faster. I’ve been thinking about what’s important to me. You’re important to me. And I love you. And I don’t know how you feel about this, but when you get out of here… what would you say to moving in with me?

Sally: You want to live together?

Nick: Yeah, I do. But don’t decide right now. Take some time and think about it, all right? Sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression

Announcer: “The young and the restless” will continue.

Sharon: Medicinal sugar and caffeine. Call me if you need to talk.

Adam: Hey. Have you, uh, been to the hospital?

Nick: Yeah, I have.

Adam: Sally was, uh, asleep when I got there. I mean, how’s she doing? How does she seem?

Nick: Oh, you know, she’s, uh– she’s going through a rough time.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Yeah. Because of me.

Nick: Because of events that were out of your control. Look, I’ve already told you, I think you made the best decision in the moment that you could.

Adam: Yeah, and she never wants to talk to me again. You know, if I could talk to her, if I could make her understand the situation–

Nick: Look, adam, if I were you, I would just give her some space, all right? She needs some time to deal with her emotions. See ya.

Sharon: My heart goes out to him.

Nick: Yeah, me too. I mean, we know as well as anyone, losing a kid is just the worst thing in the world.

Sharon: We came very close to that again last night.

Nick: But we didn’T. Because you’re a badass mama bear. And you did what you needed to do to save our daughter. There she is. Oh, you don’t mind if I just sort of hang on for really long time, right?

Faith: [ Laughing ] Dad.

Nick: How you doing?

Faith: Considering everything? Great. So, I don’t want you to freak out when I tell you I want to get out of here.

Sharon: Yeah, go ahead. It’s a slow morning. Go home, go do whatever you want.

Faith: I mean genoa city.

Nick: Wait, what? You want to leave town?

Faith: I thought that I might be able to still pick up a summer class, get a head start on next fall or get a job near campus.

Sharon: Well, you have been through a major trauma. I don’t know if right now is a good time to be making big decisions.

Nick: I’m with your mom on this.

Faith: It’s just… that man was in our house. He was here. He found me at chancellor park. Now… everywhere I look, or I go…

[ Sighing ] …It hits me all over again. I just– I– I don’t want to live with that fear.

Sharon: Well, it’s not that healthy to just run away from the memories.

Faith: I’m not running away. I just want to live my normal life again. Be normal again with my friends. I promise. I’m not flipping out or gonna do anything crazy. I can handle this. And I have amazing parents who are a phone call away.

Nick: Well, she’s not wrong. I mean, we are amazing.

[ Sharon laughing ]

Faith: So, is that a yes?

Sharon: Yeah, if this is what you really want.

Faith: It is.

Sharon: And you promise to call every day-ish?

Nick: [ Whispers ] Every day.

Sharon: Well, you know. Okay, I guess we can live with that.

Faith: Thank you.

Nate: Your mother isn’t too happy about this decision. And I doubt victor will be pleased. Are you sure this is the move you want to make?

Victoria: You know I haven’t made this decision lightly. Nicholas has been through such hell in the last few days. There’s no way, given the trauma that he suffered, that he’s gonna be able to do his job. He needs time to heal. So, I’m just–

[ Sighing ] I’m giving him that opportunity.

Nate: You aren’t afraid he’ll see this not as a sister looking out for him, but as some unilateral move to remove him as coo? Because you will have a battle on your hands.

Victoria: That’s not a battle I want to fight.

Nate: It’s not easy being at the top.

Victoria: It’s a lot easier when you have somebody that you trust by your side.

Nate: Well, I will let you prepare for this meeting and I will come back later with those ideas of mine which were, in fact, for newman enterprises, not newman media.

[ Both chuckling ] I hope that’s not a problem.

Victoria: No, it’s not. It’s what’s always impressed me about you. Thinking big. You’re always two steps ahead. Like what you did with the door.

Nate: What do you mean?

Victoria: I know that you closed it so we could have some privacy.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: I know that you don’t want to… see me, but… I couldn’t stay away, I– I had to come. Had to talk to you, and… try to explain.

[ Sighing ] When I was in that corridor and elena asked me who they should save, my heart stopped. I mean, the thought of losing you, I– I– I was overwhelmed. We may not be– be together, but I– I couldn’t imagine a world in which you no longer existed. And when she said that our child might not survive, I couldn’t face losing both of you. Sally, you need to know that I dreamed… of this baby. I loved who she would be. Our spicy little girl. That would have been as amazing and bossy as her mom. It rips me apart that I’m never gonna get to meet her. But you did. She was part of you. And you felt her. You talked to her. Sang to her. I knew the choice that you would want. You would choose her. Because you love her. I chose you. Because I love you. As someone living with type 2 diabetes,

Victoria: [ Clears throat ] So, um, where are we on the white paper for the streamer that you’re interested in newman acquiring?

Nate: You will have it by the end of the day. Audra’s all over it.

Victoria: Yeah, I saw you two with your heads together at the club last night.

Nate: You should have joined us.

Victoria: No, it looked like you were in the middle of something, I didn’t want to interrupt. Besides, it’s not like we hadn’t spent the entire evening together.

Nate: Oh, and I’m so sad it had to end. Audra is actually working on the white paper, and I had some questions.

Victoria: She seemed very energized.

Nate: She’s a machine, that one. Nonstop business.

Victoria: Mm-hmm, well, you and I both know how interested she is in more power at newman media.

Nate: She certainly is.

Victoria: You’re okay with that? Her… rabid ambition?

Nate: Audra’s drive to prove herself has done wonders for the company. We just need to keep that ambition harnessed and focused, and she will be a star.

Victoria: Hmm. Well, if you trust her, then so do I.

Nick: Hey.

Nate: Well, I will let you two speak in private.

[ Nate clears throat ] It’s good to hear your family’s safe.

Nick: Thanks.

Victoria: How are you holding up?

Nick: Everyone keeps asking me that. Cameron’s gone, we can all move on.

Victoria: Well, what about sally and losing the baby?

Nick: Sally’s devastated. It’s gonna take her a long time to get to the other side of this.

Victoria: I know that the child wasn’t yours, but I know that you were also very excited about helping sally raise her. Something so traumatic, I mean, she’s gonna really need your support, nicholas.

Nick: So, now you’re a fan of my relationship with sally?

Victoria: She needs you. And your family needs you.

Nick: So much concern. What’s going on?

Victoria: Nick, I think that you need to take a leave of absence from newman enterprises.

Chance: Are you okay? What’s going on?

Sharon: Just… faith is going back to ann arbor.

Chance: Already? I thought she was gonna hang here for the summer.

Sharon: After everything that’s happened, I wish she could feel safe here, but that’s just not possible. Not right now.

Chance: Well, she’ll be back. Weekends, celebrations, you name it.

Sharon: That’s what she says.

Chance: Yeah. She’ll be okay. So will you.

Sharon: Thank you. You know, I think I needed to hear that. There’s something you need to hear. What adam said earlier, he was incredibly wrong. Nobody blames you for what happened with cameron.

Chance: Well, if I’d have gotten a bead on him sooner, stopped him before he got to faith–

Sharon: You did everything you could.

Chance: Yeah, well…

Sharon: My daughter is alive because of you. We all are. And I’m never gonna forget that.

Nikki: Thank you so much. We’ll talk again soon.

Nate: Nikki. You look like you just had a very successful meeting.

Nikki: Well, yes, it was. And I have to give you your due.

Nate: Hmm. Why is that?

Nikki: I just heard very positive feedback about newman media. They are impressed with your work on the social media platform we just acquired.

Nate: Oh, wow. I am grateful for the compliment. And I won’t lie, I am pretty excited about it.

Nikki: Sounds like you’re looking forward to overseeing such a high profile project.

Nate: Well, I am certain it will be a huge success. However, audra will be heading it up moving forward.

Nikki: So… you’re already shifting your focus to newman enterprises and nicholas isn’t even gone. Why give your family just any eggs

Nate: I hope you don’t think I’m out of line.

Nikki: By hijacking my son’s position?

Nate: Nothing of the sort, I assure you. I’m only trying to respect victoria’s wishes, and do what’s best for the company.

Nikki: You haven’t always done what’s best for the company you work for, though, have you?

Nate: I’ve made mistakes at chancellor-winters. I learned from them. My ambitions may upset nick. And you. But victor and I have spoken at length, and he seems to respect it. Encourage it even.

Nikki: Well, my husband and i have differing opinions about where and when business can take precedence over family. I would advise you to proceed very carefully. Have a good day.

Adam: I just hope that someday, if you can bring yourself to look at me, that you would let me explain the unexplainable, the– the– the impossible. But I will understand if you never want to hear from me again. Doesn’t mean I’ll stop loving you. Because that is impossible. All that I wanted was to protect you. And the baby. And I’ll never forgive myself for breaking your heart.

[ Sobbing ]

Nick: Take time off? Thank you, but that won’t be necessary.

Victoria: I disagree. You might be able to let go of what happened with cameron, but is it gonna be as easy for sharon or for faith? I– I would completely understand if you needed to take time to be there for them.

Nick: Faith wants to leave genoa city to put this behind her. I mean, she’s already packing, but even if she wasn’t leaving, I don’t need to stop working to support the people I love, which includes sally.

Victoria: Maybe you just need a little more time to think about it.

Nick: Uh, look, sharon and faith went to crimson lights this morning because they know working will help them get past the memories of what they survived. It’s the same with me. I would think you understood that as well as anyone.

Victoria: It’s a very different situation.

Nick: No, it’s not. Uh, it’s not. The situation with ashland, mom, dad, me, we all tried to convince you to stop working, but you refused to do it because you said working made you whole. So, again, I appreciate the offer, but no thank you. I feel like I need to be here now more than ever.

Victoria: Last night, you almost lost sharon. You almost lost faith. Sally lost her baby. You have been through so much trauma in the last few days, there’s no way that you can see clearly to make a sound decision. That’s why it’s important for you to take the time.

Nick: I don’t want to.

Victoria: No, I’m not asking you. The decision has already been made, and I need you to step away from your role as coo.

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: Man, I hope faith can get some sleep.

Sharon: Yeah. I hope she can get the sewer smell off of her. It’s a constant reminder of what she’s been through.

Nick: Of what you went through too. You know, I can stick around and make sure everything’s locked up until you get cleaned up yourself.

Sharon: Well, with victor’s security team and all the cops hovering, I think we’re okay. You should get to the hospital and check on sally. Faith and I can look after each other.

Nick: Nah, I– I don’t want to leave you until I know you’re safe.

Sharon: I think we’re safe. Go. Go check on sally and then you need to get some sleep too.

[ Nick exhaling ]

Nick: Yeah, I probably should go.

Sharon: I will call you if anything happens and you do the same, but cameron’s gone, faith is fine and it’s all good news from here.

Nick: Hope you’re right.

Sally: How could you do this?

Adam: I don’t understand.

Sally: I don’t either. So please, find the words because the last thing I remember is I was pregnant with our little girl and now, she’s gone?

Adam: I had to make a decision. Your symptoms, they were getting worse. Elena gave me no time. You were unconscious. I mean, who lives and who dies? This wasn’t a scenario that we discussed. They said that there was a chance that they could only save one of you and it was too soon for her. Her lungs, they wouldn’t be ready.

Sally: So, you just told the doctor…

Adam: I chose you. How could I not?

Sally: You chose me over her?

Adam: No. Look, when you say it like that, that’s not–

Sally: Why? Why would you?

Adam: How could I not?

Sally: She was my everything.

Adam: I couldn’t lose you.

Sally: But you already did, adam. You made that choice a long time ago. I’m not yours anymore. I was hers and she was mine. She was all I had and you let her die! You didn’t even– you didn’t even try and fight for her!

Adam: This– sally, this was the hardest decision of my entire life.

Sally: Could you just not envision a life where someone actually needed you, where you had to step up, possibly on your own, and be the man that nobody thinks you could be?

Adam: I thought that I was making the right choice.

Sally: You destroyed her life. And mine.

Adam: This is not fair, okay? This– this– it’s not–

Sally: Fair? Fair? You want fair? I just lost my baby, my reason. The life that we created and you want fair? I want the life that was ripped out of me! Can you give me that? Can you? With all of your power and your connections, can you give me what was taken away?

Adam: It was taken from us, sally.

Sally: Exactly. She had no one but us.

Adam: Okay. I’m– I’m worried about you.

Sally: Well, you should’ve been worried about her, adam, because she had no one to fight for her but us and I couldn’t do it, but you could and you forced me to let her down. But I promised her that I wasn’t gonna let her down or leave her to fight for herself the way that my parents did to me and that is exactly what she had to do! God! Oh, my god! Someone needs to stop this from hurting so much!

Adam: Do you– do you need the doctor?

Sally: No, I want her! I want her, adam, but you let her die. You’re the reason that she’s dead.

[ Sally sobbing ]

Sometimes, the lows

of bipolar depression

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… look in that mirror and ask,

Sally: If you loved me at all…

Adam: You know I do.

Sally: Then you should’ve known and saved her.

Adam: I couldn’t let you go.

Sally: But she was your daughter. Your blood. You should have fought for her. Who are you?

Adam: I’m the man that is here for you. I fought for you, sally.

Sally: But I didn’t need saving, adam. There had to have been something they could have done.

Adam: She needs more than friends and a father. She needs you.

Sally: Yes, I know, I know, so you should’ve just let me go with her.

Adam: No, no, no. Okay. Don’t say that.

Sally: No, I’m serious. I don’t want to be here without her. I just want my baby.

Adam: Sally, don’t do this to yourself.

Sally: This was done to me, adam. By you. I didn’t even want this. I was terrified of being a mom because I didn’t– I didn’t want to fail my child the way that my mom failed me, but then… you got me pregnant. And you made me love her. And you told me everything was gonna be okay, and now she’s gone. Maybe I just didn’t do enough.

Adam: Of course, you did.

Sally: I was just happier than I’ve ever been because I was gonna bring her into this world. She was– she was gonna be better than me. She was gonna be my game changer and I was gonna give her the life that I never had and if I couldn’t, I trusted– I trusted that you could. And now, there’s just nothing.

Adam: Sally, you were in critical condition, okay? You… you could have died.

Sally: You loved her, didn’t you?

Adam: With all my heart.

Sally: And you would’ve taken care of her and given her a family and a world beyond her wildest dreams.

Adam: It wouldn’t be much of a world without you.

Sally: But you… you would’ve loved her and you would’ve given her to care and attention that a little girl needs?

Adam: I would’ve spoiled her rotten. There’s nothing that I wouldn’t have done for her. Or you, sally. We would’ve spoiled her rotten. We would’ve given her the moon as a toy.

Sally: You would’ve done anything for her.

Adam: That’s right.

Sally: Anything but let me go.

Adam: You– you had to be in the world, sally. You had to live.

Sally: Get out.

Adam: Sally–

Sally: No, get out.

Adam: Sally–

Sally: Get out, please. I’m awake and I’m saying these words that I couldn’t say when you were letting our little girl die. I do not want you. I want her. I want our baby. I just want my baby.

Elena: Sally? Sally, hey. Look at me, look at me.

Sally: No.

Elena: What’s going on? Are you in pain?

Sally: Yes.

Elena: Okay, adam, I think it’s time. Give us some–

Adam: I’m sorry, okay? I’m sorry. I– I’m just– I’m trying to explain to you.

Elena: It’s gonna be okay. It’s gonna be okay. Take a breather.

[ Sally sobbing ] Deep breaths.

[ Adam sighing ]

Sharon: Oh, gosh, faith.

Faith: I didn’t mean to scare you.

Sharon: That’s all right. It’s actually nice to know that I still have some adrenaline. I thought you were trying to sleep.

Faith: I missed you and I was kind of freaked out being up there alone.

Sharon: Well, that’s understandable, you know, um, after everything you’ve been through.

Faith: Feels like nothing will ever be normal again. What’s that?

Sharon: Um, that’s just something that chance left here when we were looking for you. He thought it might be evidence that would help us find where cameron was hiding.

Faith: Can you– can you put it outside until the cops come to pick it up?

Sharon: Yeah. Yeah, I’ll– I’ll put it out on the porch. I used to wait to run my dishwasher With cirkul, your wa deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are. Try cirkul at drinkcirkul.Com (buzz) are you guys telling secrets?

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: Sally being examined?

Adam: She’s, uh, she’s with elena.

Nick: It’s just precautionary, right?

Adam: Look, I, um, I wanted to tell you this face-to-face.

Nick: Tell me what?

Adam: When you talked to sally on the phone tonight–

Nick: Yeah, I was– I was with sharon. Uh, seems like a lifetime ago. It was before cameron showed up.

Adam: Right. She was frustrated from being cooped up, okay? She was worried about you, what you were doing, so she wouldn’t sleep. She was threatening to leave if she didn’t get some food that wasn’t room service, so I took her out.

Nick: Oh, come on, man. You were supposed to keep her blood pressure low.

Adam: I know that. Don’t you think that I know that? I wish to god– we were having a good time, okay? We were laughing, we were relaxed. I was trying to keep her mind off of what you were doing with faith and sharon, but her headache would not go away, so I brought her in and I reassured her that everything was going to be okay. They gave her medicine and we waited for it to work, but nothing helped.

Nick: I mean, okay. Wait, sally, I–

Adam: We called you about a hundred times.

Nick: Yeah, I couldn’t answer.

Adam: And what was more important than being with sally?

Nick: Things were getting out of control for us, man. It was life and death.

Adam: Yeah, for us too.

Nick: What are you talking about?

Adam: Nick, you don’t have a damned clue about what we went through. I mean, everything that could’ve gone wrong went wrong.

Nick: What are you saying, adam?

Adam: The baby… she didn’t make it. Our little girl is gone.

Sharon: I guess I have my answer to how far I would go to keep you safe.

Faith: Were you scared when I was gone?

Sharon: Are you kidding? I was terrified.

Faith: Because I wasn’T. Maybe a little, but I knew you would find me.

Sharon: And I knew that you were doing everything you could to stay alive until I got to you. I’m so proud of you.

Faith: You’re the one who saved our lives.

Sharon: For selfish reasons. I love you too much.

Faith: I’m okay with that.

Sharon: Cameron won’t be coming back ever again. There’s no question that he is very dead.

Faith: Thanks to you.

Nick: Adam, I, uh, I don’t know what to say.

Adam: Because there is nothing, so don’t try.

Elena: Hey, nick.

Nick: Hey. Can I see her?

Elena: Yeah. She was just asking about you. Go on in. She’s been through a lot tonight. Looks like you have too.

Nick: I won’t keep her long.

Elena: Okay.

[ Sally whimpering ]

Nick: I’m so sorry. I should’ve been here.

Sally: It should’ve been me.

Nick: What should’ve been you?

Sally: Adam had a choice. To choose between me or the baby and he chose me.

Nick: It was the right choice. I think he chose right, don’t you?

Sally: I already had my life. I’ve tried and I’ve screwed up so many times, but she was pure and perfect and she had her whole life ahead of her. She was… she was going to be feisty and spirited. You would’ve loved her.

Nick: Of course, I would’ve.

Sally: I would’ve made a different choice.

Nick: Look, um, I know how much you hate this, I hate it too, sally, but you got a lot of people who love you. You’re gonna get through this.

Sally: What if this was a test to see if I could be good? I failed. I failed her. She needed me. I need her.

[ Sally sobbing ]

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: Look, the only thing– they don’t want me to be in here too long, so you’ve gotta– you’ve gotta just get some rest, okay?

Sally: No. No. Please just– please. Just let me go. Just let me go.

[ Sally sobbing ] If you have heart disease and are on a statin,

Elena: Hey, adam?

Adam: Hm?

Elena: It’s important to remember that sally’s not the only person who lost a baby tonight. So, be kind to yourself, okay? A memento.

Adam: What is it? How’s she doing?

Nick: She said she could use something to help her sleep.

Elena: I already put a note in her chart. Something should be here soon.

Nick: Thanks, elena.

Elena: You both should go home. Get some rest. Sally’s already exhausted and you’ve all been through a lot. Good night.

Nick: Good night.

Adam: Good night.

[ Nick sighing ] Man, you look like hell.

Nick: You should see the other guy.

[ Adam chuckling ] I could use a drink. You wanna go somewhere to talk?

Adam: Um, just, there’s something that I need to do first, but uh, meet you at society?

Nick: Yeah.

Elena: I’m so sorry. I really wish things had turned out differently.

Sally: These things happen, right?

Elena: Doesn’t make it any easier. If you want to talk about it…

Sally: Maybe later.

Elena: Or I could just sit here and not talk, if you don’t want to be alone.

Sally: What I’d really like to do is sleep.

Elena: Okay. The nurses should be bringing in your sleep aid soon.

Sally: Thank you.

Elena: The thing that we talked about doing, when you’re up to it, if you change your mind about seeing her.

Sally: I won’T.

Elena: There’s a button on the side of your bed. You just press it and you tell them what you want. This is a gift from the nurses. Good night, sally.

Sally: Good night.

Adam: Thanks.

Nick: Yeah.

Adam: Well, um, I’m sure that you wanna hear the rest of the story. Sure that you’re gonna hear it from her when she’s up to it.

Nick: So, I guess they put her on medication and it wasn’t working?

Adam: The, um, the condition that they warned her about, the eclampsia, they just– they said that they had to induce labor. There– there was a risk, there wasn’t any time and I understood the risks, but you know, the worst thing that could happen, it never happens.

Nick: But it did tonight.

Adam: There was a complication and elena said– she said I had to make a decision. She said if you had to choose only one, who would you choose? Would you choose sally or the baby? And I mean… I mean could you imagine such a thing?

Nick: Yeah, actually, I can.

Adam: I chose sally.

Nick: Well, I’m sorry that you had to make that choice alone, adam. But, I’m glad you were there. Thank you.

Adam: Well, I didn’t do it for your gratitude. I mean, I’m the last person that she wanted to see after I told her what they made me do. I mean, she blames me for everything. I mean, I don’t know. Maybe you would’ve made a different decision.

Nick: It was never my place to make any decisions about sally or the baby. That was all you. The three of you.

Adam: The three of us.

Nick: Look, uh…

[ Nick sighing ] I know this is probably not gonna make you feel any better right now, but you did the right thing, adam.

Adam: I just– I couldn’t imagine a world without sally in it… and now she’s alive, but she’ll never forgive me.

…I’m over 45.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. I used to wait to run my dishwasher

[ Adam groaning ]

Adam: You know, they say your world can change in the blink of an eye and I– I swear to you, it was faster than…

[ Finger snapping ] …That.

Nick: I’m never gonna be able to convince you it’s not your fault, am I?

Adam: It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not because all I care about is sally. Or if she’s okay, her well-being. God, yeah, I was really looking forward to getting to know that little girl. I was ready to give her the world. I would’ve given my life for her and now, we’re just– we’re just supposed to go on. The sun still comes up, the world keeps spinning without her in it. How are we supposed to do that?

Nick: I don’t know, adam, but we do. We endure.

Adam: Look, um, you should– you should go home.

Nick: No, I don’t have to.

Adam: No, come on. I mean, you should be with sharon and you should be with faith. They need you more than I do.

Nick: You sure?

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Nick: All right.

[ Adam sighing ]

[ Adam sniffling ]

[ Sally sighing ]

[ Sally sobbing ]

Sally: No. Okay. Your name… is ava… hope… spectra. You’re the daughter of sally spectra and adam newman. Oh, you were the light of our lives. Oh, they said that I could hold you, but– I just have to press a button, but… I’m so afraid that you’re gonna be disappointed in me. Please don’t hate me. Oh. God, I wish I had a lifetime with you. I loved you your whole life. I know it wasn’t very long, but… there was a joy and a lightness that I never had. I finally had that slice of happiness I’d always seen in other people. And I wasn’t alone anymore. I was never gonna be alone again. Somebody to love… and loved me. Maybe you were more than I deserved.

Faith: Dad.

Sharon: Hey. How’s sally? How’s the baby? Is everything okay?

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: The baby, um… there was a procedure. The baby didn’t make it.

Faith: Oh, my god. That can’t be what happened.

Nick: I’ll tell you all about it later, faith. Just know that sally’s okay. As okay as she could be.

Faith: I’m so sorry.

Sharon: Wow. Um, how’s adam?

Nick: Uh, struggling. Um, you know, sally’s gonna be fine. She’s got me and chloe, but adam…

Sharon: He’s got no one.

Nick: God only knows how he will deal with it.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: Damn. – We got this! – Great! – Bye!

[ Adam sighing ]

Victor: Sorry for your loss.

Adam: Thank you.

Victor: How’s sally?

Adam: She hates me, but she’ll be just fine. At least, that’s what they say anyway. I mean, how is a person supposed to bounce back after everything goes out of control? I mean, no matter how many prayers you say, no matter how many times that I apologize for doing something wrong, nothing changes, dad. I mean, I thought this time, it would be different. I thought, “I’m gonna be good.” This is a chance for me to do it right. A new baby. So, I’m gonna pay attention. I’m gonna do things right. I’m gonna cherish every moment. There’s something in me. I did this to her. There’s something corrupt in me, did this.

Victor: Son–

Adam: No, it has to be me. I’m the one that causes problems with connor. I mean, there’s something in my genetic makeup that just ruins things. One touch from me and it’S…

Victor: What’s her name?

Adam: Her name… it was ava.

Victor: Ava. That’s a beautiful name. Wish I’d known her.

Adam: I wish you had known her too. You guys could have… never mind.

Victor: If it helps you at all to know that I’ve gone through something like this, hm?

Adam: What did you do?

Victor: I turned away from everyone. Big mistake. What you do in moments like this is you turn to people who love you.

Adam: Who the hell would that be? I mean, I look around, I– I’m alone. There’s no sally, no siblings, no daughter. Nuh-uh. I have to get through this alone.

Victor: No, son, you don’T.

[ Nick sighing ]

Sharon: You’re, uh, welcome to the guest room.

Nick: Thanks. I should probably get home to christian, but if you’re not in a rush to go to bed…

Sharon: Stay as long as you like. Sad news about the baby.

Nick: Yeah. Real sad. I mean, you’re always looking out for everyone else.

Sharon: That’s because I’m fine.

Nick: I know what it’s like to kill a man, sharon. What you did was justified. You saved all of our lives.

Sharon: You would’ve done the same thing.

Nick: Well, that’s how I know. Until you deal with those emotions, you’re never gonna be able to move forward. What we did will haunt you and grow in size until you face it and stare it down. My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Victor: You must know that you have people in your life who have experienced, you know, big losses. I mean, they’d be–

Adam: What? What? Happy to see my life in shambles again? So what, they can smugly hold it over my head?

Victor: Son. I want you to know that I’ll always be there for you. I’ll be there for sally, I’ll be there for connor. All you have to do is ask.

Adam: All that I want is forgiveness from sally and that is not gonna happen.

Victor: Look, you can’t expect that right now. This is– this is– she’s in a very emotional–

Adam: Listen, it doesn’t matter, okay? It doesn’t matter. I appreciate you trying, but nothing matters anymore.

Sharon: You know, it may not seem like I am processing recent events, but…

Nick: It’s in your system now, sharon. You can try and process it on your own, but until you talk about it with someone in real terms– you know, it’s ugly and terrifying, but if you just try and stuff those feelings down, it’s gonna come back and screw up your life in other ways. It doesn’t just go away.

Sharon: And where did you get advice like that?

Nick: Oh, it’s uh, this good friend of mine. She told me that after I… killed the man that was hurting my sister.

Sharon: Well, she gave you very good advice.

Nick: She did. She’s real smart. You’d like her.

[ Sharon chuckling ] So, tell me what happened. You know, talk me through it.

Sharon: That animal had my daughter strapped with enough explosives to level a building and I promised her that I would do whatever it took to keep her safe and that is what I did. I killed the man who was trying to hurt my child and if it ever happened again, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Nick: And how are you doing with that?

Sharon: Honestly, nick? I feel alive. Like, activated. Like I’ve been asleep since rey died, just pouring coffee and listening to other people’s problems and now… now, I’m awake.

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: Oh, your life was brief. But you changed me. Because of you, I smiled at the silliest things. I’d just stop in the middle of the day and smile because… I was gonna be someone’s mom. I was gonna be your mom. And I’m so sorry that we don’t get the life that I promised you, but I promise, I promise that I will always love you and I will always be your mom and I will never forget you. Oh, god. Oh, I know I have to say goodbye to you. I know, I know, I know, I know. Okay. I’m gonna do it while I hold you, okay? Okay. Okay. Okay, okay. Okay. Okay. Hello? Yes, I would… I would like to see my baby now, if that’s okay.

[ Sally sobbing ] Okay.

Chance: Sharon, step away.

Faith: Mom, I thought he was going to kill you.

Sharon: It’s okay. I’m all right, sweetheart.

Chance: He’s dead. There’s no pulse.

Nick: Thank god, he’s out of our lives forever.

Chance: Did he hurt you? Are you okay?

Sharon: I’m fine. It’s faith. He has her wired with explosives.

Faith: Help me. Please help. Get these bombs off of me!

Chance: No, don’t touch them. Don’t touch them. They could blow.

Sally: Last thing I remember, I was talking to elena and I had headache, and… I was short of breath… did I pass out?

Adam: Um, I– I need to– I need to talk to elena and your doctors, I– to get more information. To understand all of the details, but I think, right now, you just– just need to rest.

Sally: You’re scaring me. Is something wrong? Is our little girl okay?

[ Sighs ] Where is our baby?

[ Nate sighing ]

Nate: You know… we might have to cut back on some of our “corporate suite” meetings.

Victoria: And why would we do that? It’s one of my favorite perks.

[ Both laughing ]

Nate: I want to be able to give work my full attention during nick’s leave of absence.

Victoria: Oh. Well, I’d say, that’s even more reason for more after-hour sessions, right? I mean, given how closely we’ll be working together, and I’m not just gonna be discussing newman media with you, I’m gonna need you to be weighing in on all things newman.

Nate: Ooh, all newman, all the time.

[ Clicks tongue ] I like the sound of that.

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Unless, of course, you find me too distracting.

Nick: Sweetheart, I know. As much as I want to just rip that explosive belt off you, we have to be very, very careful. I– I feel like if i breathe too hard, it’ll go off.

Chance: You two, step away, let me take a look, okay? All right. Can you tell me how he got this on you? Do you remember?

Faith: I don’t– I don’t know. I must have been passed out. I didn’t even realize that he’d done anything until he was threatening to set it off.

Sharon: The detonator’s over there. Nobody’s touched it. Can’t we just take the belt off of her?

Chance: No, it looks like these packs are rigged with sensors, so they could detonate on the spot. Also, wireless.

Faith: What does that mean?

Chance: Well, they could be triggered from a cellular or rf transmission point. The trigger could be anywhere. It might not even be here.

Sharon: Okay, so what do we do?

Chance: Well, before we take this off, the explosives are gonna have to be carefully deactivated. One by one.

Nick: And you can do that, right?

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Adam: Sally, you need– you need to rest, okay? You can’t get worked up like this. The doctor said that you still gotta to watch your– your blood pressure.

Sally: You’re hiding something. This is my body, I clearly had a c-section, I–

[ Sighs ] I don’t feel great.

Adam: Well, that’s– that’s because you– you need to rest.

Sally: No, I’m not gonna relax until I have answers. What is going on? I– I remember the pain, and I remember, it kept getting worse. And then, I clearly, passed out. So, please… just tell me what happened.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: Do you, um– do you remember when you were being admitted and elena said there might be a chance that they have to induce labor?

Sally: Yeah. ‘Cause of the preeclampsia?

Adam: Yes. Well, unfortunately, that happened and you lost consciousness, so they had to make a decision to do a c-section.

Sally: Okay, but the baby’s not supposed to be– supposed to be born ’til at least, 37 weeks.

Adam: Yes. It’s early.

Sally: She must be tiny.

[ Chuckles ] But that’s okay, ’cause they have really great neonatal intensive care unit, I checked.

Adam: Uh…

Sally: Okay. Okay. Um, I– I really need to be with our baby, so if she’s too little, then you can just have them bring me to her, and if not, you can…

[ Breathes deeply ] …Just take me to her.

[ Adam sniffles ] Okay, well, if you’re not going to– no, no. If you’re not going to help me–

Adam: Sally, stop, stop.

Sally: Oh, no, no, no, no.

Adam: Look at me.

Sally: No. No, no, please, just don’t–

Adam: During the c-section, there was a– there was a complication.

[ Sally breathes deeply ]

Sally: Well, that’s to be expected, right? With a pre-term birth and, you know, premature babies they– they thrive all the time and she’s strong. She’s strong. She’s got my spirit and your mother’s strength and she’s a spectra and she’s a newman and she is a warrior and she can handle anything this life… has to throws at her.

[ Sniffles ]

Adam: Not everything.

Sally: Are you telling me that our little girl… she’s not here?

Adam: She didn’t make it.

[ Sniffles ] And I am so sorry.

[ Sally sobbing ]

Nate: Is everything okay?

Victoria: Thanks. Yeah, just can’t stop thinking about nicholas. He was so excited to have faith home from school, and now, he’s got to deal with this cameron kirsten nut.

Nate: Hm. Yeah. He and sharon must be going out of their minds.

Victoria: I just hope he doesn’t do his usual thing.

Nate: What’s that?

Victoria: Try to take care of everything on his own.

[ Sighs ] He tends to fly off the handle and make things much worse.

Nate: Yeah, I heard that about him. Think he’ll do that again with this kirsten guy?

Victoria: He already has. That’s how he ended up in jail.

Nate: Right, but this guy is still causing problems. Why don’t they just call the police?

Victoria: They did. Chance, general, city police, even my father’s security team, they’re all trying to help.

Nate: Okay.

Victoria: It’s so nerve-wracking.

Nate: Well, it sounds like they have a lot of backup. And chance is well trained for situations like this. We just got to believe they’ll be able to get this guy and bring him to justice.

Victoria: I want to believe that.

Nate: Gimme that.

[ Victoria sighs ] Let me help you get through this. Whatever you need, I’m here for you.

Victoria: Thank you. I feel better already. Thank you.

Chance: When I was in the military, I had some training in disarming explosives like this.

Sharon: Hear that, faith? We couldn’t ask for a better person to do this.

[ Tools clattering ]

Chance: I’m gonna need some light, somebody’s got it?

Nick: Yeah, I got that.

Chance: Let me see this one. That’s great. Thank you. Okay, faith, I understand this is scary, but I’m going to need you to stay very still, all right? I’m going to work as fast as I can, but we’re in this together, okay?

Faith: If the bomb goes off, we both die? I trust you to keep me safe.

[ Chance sighs ]

Nick: You okay, chance?

Chance: Yeah.

Sharon: This isn’t like in spain. You didn’t have a chance to diffuse the explosive then, but you do now.

Chance: [ Sighs ] Okay, why don’t you two step back just in case?

Nick: No way, man. I have the light.

Sharon: And I have faith’s hand, and we’re not going anywhere. Type 2 diabetes? Discover the power of 3 in the ozempic tri-zone.

(Oh, oh, oh, ozempic!)

Nate: I know how to support you at work, but right now, I feel a little useless. I want you to be able to lean on me.

Victoria: You just being here, it helps. I don’t want to let my mind go to worst case scenarios.

Nate: Then don’T.

Victoria: You’re right. Until I hear something concrete from nick or my mom, I’m– I’m not going to waste any time worrying. It’s out of my hands anyway.

Nate: That is right.

[ Victoria sighs ]

Victoria: It’s not like it’s in my control at all. Cameron, he’s a wild card. There’s no telling–

Nate: Okay, stop, stop. You’re spending time worrying about something you have no control over. And I swear you just said you weren’t going to do that.

Victoria: Ah, you’re right. You’re right. It’s just that this situation is a powder keg. And nick landed in jail. He didn’t even lay a hand on cameron. My brother is a very fierce protector, but once that– that instinct is triggered, I mean, he doesn’t think rationally, he just reacts.

Nate: Okay, nick can be a loose cannon, but those situations involve nick acting alone. But this time, they brought in the authorities. Even a madman like cameron kirsten won’t stand a chance against that much protection.

Faith: How much longer?

Chance: Well, I have to cut the wire connected to the signal receiving antenna from each pack, one by one, so I know it’s tough to be patient, but you’re doing great.

Faith: So you’ve worked on this kind of bomb before?

Sharon: I’m sure chance has seen all kinds of things in his military work. Right, chance?

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, I’ve seen similar. Okay. I’m going to cut the first red wire now and what I need you to do is, don’t breathe in too deeply, okay?

Faith: Okay. So, basically, don’t breathe?

Chance: Yeah, basically.

Faith: Ready when you are.

Chance: Okay.

[ Faith gasping ] All right. Five more to go.

Sharon: Well, now that you know it’s the red one… I mean, unless–

Chance: Why? You think cameron’s devious enough to change the pattern?

Faith: I love you both so much for being here with me, but if this doesn’t work–

Sharon: It’s going to work.

Faith: I don’t want all of us to die.

Nick: That’s not going to happen.

Chance: Just gotta figure out this logic. You got the black, white, the red. The red is the obvious. The red worked.

Sharon: Chance is so smart. You know, he’s skilled, he’s very brave. He’s going to make sure that this works. He’s going to get us out of this. I know it. And I’m going to hold your hand until he does so.

Faith: Dad.

Nick: I’m not going anywhere. You never abandon your kids. I would do this for any of my children. That’s what a father does.

Sharon: And that’s what a mother does, too. And one day, you’re going to learn how that feels.

Chance: I got the red, the white and the black. Or is it red, black, white?

Sally: This can’t be true.

Adam: Sally, I am so sorry.

[ Sally sobbing ] But it’s true. She didn’t make it. Our baby’s gone.

Sally: No. But how? But how? No, we were just talking about names and imagining exactly what she’d be like. We said that she was going to be strong willed and she was going to be a fighter and how can all that be gone? How can it be over? Because I wasn’t– I wasn’t even awake for her birth. I’ve never even met her.

[ Sally sobbing ]

Adam: I know. It all seems like a bad dream. I know.

Sally: No, this isn’t real.

[ Grunting ] It’s not real. It’s not real.

Adam: This isn’t good for you I need you to take some deep breaths, okay? Your body has been through a lot and you’re not out of danger. I really need you to rest.

Sally: No! No! Everyone kept telling me to rest and it didn’t help!

[ Grunts ] It didn’t help. I just need to figure out what happened. I need to know what happened, okay? I took– no, I took all my vitamins and I took my medication, and I tr– I tried so hard to be healthy and to not get stressed out and I clearly didn’t do enough.

Adam: No, no, you– you cannot think that way, okay?

Sally: No! Why? Why did I lose consciousness? Because if I had just been awake, I could have fought more and she wouldn’t have had to do it on her own and I could have helped her and we could have survived. We could have survived together. Listen to me, stop, stop! You did nothing wrong.

Sally: Then why? Why is our little girl gone?

[ Sobbing ] Why? I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

[ Nate chuckling ]

Nate: You are the strongest person I’ve ever met, but you don’t have to do this alone. Whatever happens, I’m here for you.

Victoria: Thank you. I appreciate that. I’m going to take you up on it. I know. Everything’s going to be okay.

Nate: No question.

Victoria: But this situation, it’s– it’s going to take a toll on nick. He’s going to need to spend some time with faith. I think he’s probably going to need to take some time off.

Nate: Maybe. But he might also want to keep working. So let’s just… take this a step at a time and pray for the best outcome.

Victoria: Yeah. I don’t think I’m going to sleep anytime soon, though.

Nate: Do you wanna go home?

Victoria: No. That doesn’t feel right either.

Nate: Okay, um… how about we go back downstairs for a nightcap or some tea and wait for nikki with an update?

Victoria: Yeah, I like that. I don’t want to stay cooped up here anymore.

[ Nate chuckles ] I’m really glad you’re with me, though.

Nate: Me too.

[ Sally hissing in pain ]

Adam: Or maybe the nurse can, um, give you something to help you sleep.

Sally: Can you just send nick in, please?

Adam: Nick’s not here.

Sally: You didn’t call him? Adam, I’ve had enough of your stupid competitive games. Seriously…

Adam: That’s not what happened.

Sally: Are you that selfish that you are pushing nick away when I need him most? Please, I don’t care if he’s dealing with cameron. I don’t care if he’s dealing with cameron. He deserves to know.

Adam: Okay, I’ve called him. I’ve left him voicemails. I’m not trying to shut nick out. I’ve even reached out to our father to try to get in touch with him.

Sally: And he hasn’t answered?

Adam: Not yet.

Sally: Okay, then, something must be wrong.

Adam: Look, it’s late. He probably already has his phone off.

Sally: Yeah, we both know that that is not true, okay? He would be here. He would be here if he could be.

Adam: There’s probably plenty of reasons why he didn’t get his messages. He– he could be away from his phone or– or the battery might be dead.

Sally: Or he’s just dealing with his real family.

Adam: He is taking care of the cameron kirsten situation. We know that. But once he gets the voicemail, he will be here. It’s what he does.

Sally: But what if he can’t be?

Adam: It’s not an option. He shows up when people need him and you need him now. So, I promise you that he will be here for you.

Chance: It’s black. That’s got to be it. All right. I got this.

Sharon: Oh, my god. See, we’ve got this, faith. We’re almost there. We’re almost there.

Faith: In the movies, it’s always the last wire that makes the bomb blow up, but that’s not true in real life, is it?

Chance: Movies are seldom accurate.

Faith: That’s not a no.

Chance: All right, can I get you over here with the light?

Nick: Yeah. Yeah. You know, faith, you’ve been gone at school so long, you missed some of my new material. Two guys walked into a bar, third guy ducked. Get it?

Faith: Dad.

Nick: Right, right, you’re not supposed to laugh or even move.

Faith: That’s not why I didn’t laugh.

Sharon: No one would laugh at that.

Nick: All right.

Faith: Then, tell me something real. Something I can look forward to.

Nick: All right, how about this? Sally’s baby girl is going to be here pretty soon and she’s going to look up to you even more than christian does.

Sharon: And she’s gonna get to grow up playing with baby aria.

Faith: Double the fun. I love that.

Sharon: She’s going to be a very lucky little girl because your dad loves to spoil girls more than he does boys.

Nick: Not true. I’m an equal opportunity spoiler.

Faith: You are not.

Nick: All right, that might be true. I am looking forward to spoiling her. It’s one of the greatest joys in my life.

[ Chance sighs in relief ]

Chance: Okay. It’s done.

Sharon: What?

Faith: You mean it’s over?

Chance: Right, take it easy. We’re gonna take it off of you, and dispose of this…

Sharon: Oh, my gosh.

Chance: …Very carefully.

[ Sharon sobbing ]

Sharon: Oh, my baby. You did it.

[ Both sobbing ]

Nick: You did it. You’re one brave young woman.

Faith: We did it. When migraine strikes, you’re faced with a choice.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Chance: I can think of a lot better places for this celebration, so why don’t you get faith out? I’ll take care of everything down here.

Sharon: Are you going to arrest me?

Nick: No way. He knows it was self-defense.

Faith: She was protecting me.

Chance: I was here. I saw everything. Kirsten attacked you and you reacted out of self-defense. I would have taken him down myself, but I didn’t have clear shot. I couldn’t risk hitting you. Hey. Do not for a second question whether or not you did the right thing.

Nick: Absolutely. You didn’t just save her, you saved all of us. I can’t even imagine what would have happened if you didn’t have that knife.

Sharon: That was your idea, nick, thank god.

Nick: Well, come on, let’s get you two home. Thank you.

[ Chance sighs ]

Chance: I should leave you down here with the rats. Hey, get down here. We’ve got to lock up this crime scene. Move out a body.

Adam: I left another message.

[ Sally sighs ]

Sally: Something’s happened to nick, I know it.

Adam: Look, I know that you’re upset that nick’s not here, but we don’t have any reason to believe anything happened to him. Victor would have called.

Sally: Stop trying to tell me not to worry. You told me that everything was going to be okay with the baby and then…

Elena: Sally… I’m so sorry. My deepest sympathies for your loss.

Sally: God, “my loss.” I’ve said that so many times in my life, but now it just sounds inadequate.

Adam: Sally, you should know that elena and the doctors did everything that they could.

Elena: It’s okay. I understand that words are hardly comforting at a time like this.

Sally: I’m sorry. I really appreciate all you’ve done. I’m just–

Elena: You’re in shock and that’s to be expected. How are you feeling?

Sally: I don’t know. Just numb. I can’t really feel anything I just– nothing seems real.

Elena: Okay. Adam, would you mind stepping out of room? I want to talk to sally alone.

Adam: If it’s okay with sally. I’ll be right outside if you need anything. I’m not going anywhere.

Sally: Thank you.

Sally: You were in the delivery room?

Elena: I was.

Sally: I need to know what happened. How did this happen? Was there nothing that you could do to save my baby?

Faith: I’ve never been so relieved to be home in my life.

Sharon: Yeah, me neither.

Faith: And I’ve never been so happy to see you, grandpa.

Victor: My sweetheart, I would have been right by your side if the police had let me into that sewer entrance.

Nick: That’s what I was talking about earlier, faith. It’s what fathers do. They protect their children for the rest of their lives.

Victor: Come here. I’m so happy that everything worked out.

Sharon: I hate to think of the other ways things could have gone.

Nick: Let’s not do that, sharon. We’re all safe. That’s what matters.

Victor: You know, I’m going to call your grandmother, tell her that everything is all right. Okay? She’s worried. Okay. Okay. Be right back.

[ Nick sighs ]

Sharon: Faith, you must be exhausted. Do you want some water? Or some tea? Want something to eat? When was the last time you had a meal?

Nick: I could get a pizza delivered.

Sharon: Or we have a lot of leftovers, we can heat something up.

Faith: I know I should be hungry, but I can’t think about food right now.

Sharon: You’ve been through a trauma, so your body doesn’t know what it wants. But I know what you need. You know what? I am gonna make you some soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. No one can resist that.

Nick: Let me handle that. You two relax.

Faith: Please, can you both just sit with me for a bit? I promise that I will eat, but I think that I just need you guys to be able to be where I can see you right now.

Nick: Whatever you want.

Sharon: We’re right here and we’re not going anywhere.

Faith: I love you both so much.

Sharon: We love you, too. That’ll never change.

Faith: Mom, how are you doing? You must be freaked out with what you had to do.

Sharon: Having you here with me, being able to have you in my arms, that is all the comfort I need.

Nick: Your mom is one brave, strong woman, that’s for sure.

Nick: I think about what cameron forced me to do… choose between the two of you. That was sick and demented.

Sharon: No one should ever have to make that choice.

Nick: Well, faith is right. I am worried about you and what you had to do tonight. And what kind of milk?Uhh, oat milk. Depression is more than just sadness. My doctor told me there are multiple symptoms. I don’t enjoy the things I used to love. I feel guilty when I shouldn’T. I have low energy, trouble thinking, co

Audra: Hmm. I see you’ve come from the “corporate suite.” Burning the midnight oil? Your work ethic is impressive.

Nate: You can roll back that little attitude.

Audra: Right. Because I– I assume victoria is not too far behind you.

Nate: She’s freshening up and joining me for a nightcap. Not that it’s any of your business.

Audra: It is our business, remember?

Nate: Right. I have some news to report on that front. The personal issues nick’s facing.

Audra: You mean the reason he may have to take a leave of absence?

Nate: It turns out the situation is dangerous.

Nate: This stalker from sharon’s past is in town. He’s out of prison and has been terrorizing nick’s family.

Audra: Oh, my god.

Nate: And victoria is determined to make him take some time off, even if everybody gets through this crisis okay.

Audra: But what if that’s not what he wants to do?

Nate: I don’t think she’s going to give him a choice.

Audra: Well, that puts you in a strange position.

Nate: How so?

Audra: Well, it was one thing when nick was stepping aside because she was worried his arrest was going to be bad press, but now, I imagine you must feel some conflict, maybe remorse? You know, getting your big chance because of nick’s troubles.

[ Elena sighing ]

Elena: Sally, I am so sorry this happened. I have seen it way too many times and I can’t begin to imagine how overwhelmed you must feel right now.

Sally: I just feel like there’s an anvil sitting on my chest. Like there’s this hole that could never be filled.

Elena: I want to be honest with you.

[ Sally exhales ] What you’re feeling right now is probably going to intensify before it gets better. You might feel like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster and that’s because the grief you’re feeling is exacerbated by what you’re going through physically. Right now, your hormones are plummeting. It could take weeks or months to start feeling like yourself again. So, I want you to give yourself grace, okay? And I want you to accept all of the support that you can. Now, I know you must have a million questions for me. And most of them, there will be no good answers for.

Sally: I just have one question. What did I do wrong?

Elena: You didn’t do anything wrong. This was not your fault.

Sally: How can it not be, though? I’m her mom. I had one job. I was supposed to nurture her until she came into this world and I failed.

Elena: Sally, I understand telling you not to feel this way isn’t very useful right now, but I really do wish I could take that feeling away.

Sally: If I had been awake in the delivery room, could I have saved her?

Elena: No. There was nothing you could have done differently. And your medical team, we did everything that we could. This was a high risk situation and the complications put both you and the baby in danger. That’s why there was no time to reach out to the next of kin. And adam had to make choice in the event it came to that.

Sally: What– what do you mean a choice? Adam– what?

Elena: If we were only able to save one of you, adam had to decide. You or the baby.

Sally: Adam had a choice?

[ Adam sighing ]

Sharon: I’m fine. I promise. The only person I’m worried about right now is faith. You’ve been through trauma and you’re going to need someone to talk to so you can process it. Tomorrow morning, we’re going to make some calls.

Faith: I can’t think about that right now. I’m exhausted. I just want to lie down.

[ Door clicks open ]

Victor: Faith, my darling, your grandmother is obviously very concerned, wanted to be here, but I told her you all need some rest, so she sends her love.

Sharon: Thank you, victor. Right now, I am going to take faith upstairs into her big, warm, safe bed and I might just join her there.

Nick: I’ll bring up a snack.

Faith: Thank you both.

Victor: Come here, sweetheart. Okay. You go up with mummy, okay?

[ Nick sighing ] Boy, boy, boy.

Nick: This is not how I saw this ending with kirsten at all, but at least he can’t terrorize us anymore.

Victor: I am just happy that sharon got rid of that son of a bitch.

Nick: Yeah, I’m just worried how she’s going to handle this once the shock wears off. Knowing what she had to do in the sewer, seeing his lifeless body, I know what it takes to grapple with killing someone and I just hope chance remembers that and that’s how he files his report. I’d hate to see her dragged through any court process.

Victor: You know that we’ll be here for anything she needs. I’m going to come back up to the ranch to talk to your mother. She’s worried, obviously. Very worried. You’re going to stay here or what?

Nick: Yeah. I just got to make sure everything’s settled so they feel safe and secure.

Victor: I’m gonna make sure that extra security will be around the house. If you need anything, let me know, right?

Nick: Yeah, thanks, dad, for everything. I know tonight was hard on everyone.

Victor: Yeah, my boy. By the way, before I forget, adam tried to reach you. He’s very concerned. He wants to talk to you, all right?

Nick: Yeah, I’ll call him. Thanks, dad.

Victor: Okay.

Nick: Give mom a hug for me.

Victor: I’ll sure do that.

[ Adam clearing his throat ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Adam: Where the hell have you been? I’ve been trying to reach you all night.

Nick: It’s a long story. I’ll fill you in later.

Adam: How’s faith and sharon?

Nick: Everyone’s safe. Cameron’s been taken care of. The threat’s gone.

Adam: Well, that is a relief.

Nick: Please tell me you didn’t tell sally what was going on with faith. I didn’t want to add any more stress for her.

Adam: I kept it to myself.

Nick: All right. So, what’s going on? Why’d you call?

Nate: I’ll admit, I don’t love the circumstances. Nick is helping his family through a crisis and I feel for him. He and I have always been friends until lately. He’s decided I’m too power hungry for the newman family business.

Audra: Well, if victoria forces him to leave and installs you in his place, that’s not going to help. Have you thought about how to handle it?

Nate: First things first. Let’s hope everyone’s okay. That’s what’s important.

Audra: Yes, but what about what comes after that? If victoria gets her way, which she usually does, you’re going to have to deal with nick.

Nate: If victoria needs me to step up, I’m here for that. So that means I need you to step up as well. So, I hope you’re not having any qualms. Is that what’s behind all these questions about my moral code?

Audra: No. Just making sure you’re not having second thoughts. You know I’m ready. You can count on me at a moment’s notice.

Nick: Okay. Good. I appreciate you, audra.

Adam: Have you listened to your voicemails yet?

Nick: I haven’t had a chance, adam. I just saw all your missed calls. What’s going on? Is sally all right?

Adam: Sally is okay. Um, but there’s been a– a development. We should really talk in person. I know it’s late, can you– can you get away now?

Nick: [ Sighs ] Man, I– I hate leaving sharon and faith right now. They’re really shook up. Are you with sally right now at the suite?

Adam: I’m– I’m with sally, um, we’re at the hospital.

Nick: The hospital?

Adam: Yes, she, uh, wasn’t feeling well so I brought her in.

Sharon: Nick, is it sally? You should go to her. We’ll– we’ll be fine.

Nick: All right. I’m on the way. I’ll get there as fast as I can.

Adam: How is she?

Elena: This isn’t going to be easy. Losing a baby is one of the hardest things I’ve seen in this job. But what about you? How are you doing? You lost a baby, too.

Adam: And I just, um… it just doesn’t seem real.

Elena: Yeah. It happened so fast and you had to make a really tough decision right in the moment.

Adam: Yes, when you asked me, it was something I never imagined having to do.

Elena: Well, if there’s anything you need, you let me know. And if there’s any questions I can answer to help you navigate this, just tell me. I’m here for both of you.

Adam: Thank you. Hey, sally. I just– I just talked to nick. Everything’s fine. And he’s going to be here soon, just like I said he would, but I’m going to sit here just in case you need anything.

Sally: How could you do this? How could you let our baby die?

Recap written by Terry

Sally is wracked with pain and fears for her unborn baby. Adam rushes her to the hospital. Once there, she loses consciousness.  When she wakes up, Sally can tell she’s had a C section and insists Adam tell her if their baby girl is OK.  He lets her know there was a complication and the baby did not survive.

Sally is completely inconsolable, crying that she did everything the doctor advised. She believes if she had been awake, she could have helped the baby survive. Adam promises Sally that she did nothing wrong to cause the baby to pass away, and there was nothing she could have done to save the baby, but she pushes him away when he tries to comfort her. 

Sally wants Nick to be with her, but Adam tells her he called Nick, left a voicemail and even contacted Victor to reach Nick. Adam reassures Sally that Nick would be there with Sally if he could. Sally knows there must be something wrong – otherwise Nick would absolutely be there. Adam tells her that once Nick is done dealing with Cameron, that he will be with Sally.

Elena asks to speak to Sally alone, so Adam leaves the room. Sally asks if there was anything Elena could have done to save the baby.  Elena tells her no. She cautions Sally that her raw, searingly painful emotions are going to get worse before they get better and urges Sally to accept whatever help she is offered.  

Sally asks how could it not be her fault when it was her job to protect the baby and she failed. Elena reassures Sally that there was nothing she could have done differently to save the baby and the complication put both Sally and the baby in danger. Elena informed Sally that because the complications were so immense, that if it came down to a choice, either she lives or the baby lives. That choice had to be made, and Elena said that there was no time to call next of kin, so Adam had to decide. When Adam returns to Sally’s side, she asks Adam how he could let their baby die. 

Meanwhile, down in the sewer, where Cameron took Faith, the teen reveals that Cameron strapped a bomb to her body. Fortunately, Chance had training to disarm bombs and successfully disarms it. Cameron lay dead just feet away, after Sharon stabbed him to death in defense of Faith. Sharon asks Chance if she would face murder charges. He said no because it’s self defense.  Nick, Sharon and Faith leave Chance to process the crime scene and arrange for Cameron’s body to be removed. Once at home, the three decompress, Victor stops by to thank Sharon for saving his granddaughter.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Elena: Your blood pressure is concerning and so is the pain. We’re gonna do everything that we can to get you more comfortable soon. What else can you tell me about your symptoms?

Sally: Um, my head is killing me and I’m nauseous and I have double vision.

Adam: And, uh, don’t forget about your breath, your oxygen intake.

Sally: Yeah. I’m having trouble catching my breath.

Elena: And has your ob-gyn put you on an anti-hypertensive protocol for preeclampsia?

Sally: Yes. And she told me to take it easy.

[ Sally groaning in pain ]

Adam: Sally. Sally.

[ Sally groaning in pain ]

Elena: Just breathe. Deep breaths. I told cameron to go to hell. What if he hurts faith or worse?

Nick: We’re not gonna let that happen, all right? We gotta stay positive.

Sharon: She has to be okay. She has to be okay, nick.

Nick: She will be, all right? She’s our miracle, remember?

Sharon: Okay. How are we gonna find her? We don’t know where cameron’s keeping her.

[ Knock on the door ]

Nick: Who is it?

Chance: It’s chance. Hey.

Nick: Hey.

Chance: Oh, man. He really nailed you. Yeah?

Nick: Yeah. So he got away through some tunnel he made in the house. I tried to chase after him, but he caved it in so I couldn’t follow him.

Chance: Are you hurt? Did he hurt you?

Sharon: No. He just bragged about how he outsmarted us all so he could get me alone.

Chance: Okay. Well, nick, you were right. He wanted us to think that he was holding faith at that garage. What else did he say?

Sharon: He said that he loved me and that we were meant to be together. He promised me that he would not hurt faith if I went away with him and I agreed to do it.

Nick: Then I showed up.

Sharon: Thank god.

Nick: He got away. We have no idea where he went or where he’s keeping faith.

Sharon: What do we do? How do we find her? We may have made things worse. Cameron left here even more unhinged.

Chance: Well, we know he always has a plan. We just gotta think like he does.

Nick: It’s a scary thought.

Chance: Yeah. So that’s why I’m hoping this, his suitcase, will help us find out where he is keeping faith.

Sharon: This is where you found the property deed to the garage?

Chance: Yeah. I’m hoping I missed something. Maybe a real clue.

Sharon: This was all part of cameron’s plan to fool us, wasn’t it?

Nick: There’s nothing in here. I doubt he’s read this.

Sharon: Wait, what’s this?

Cameron: You deserve better, faith. Your mom lets you down. Imagine if you could get ahead of your ibs-C…

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Cameron: God, you really are as beautiful as your mom.

[ Cameron chuckling ] Here I was all set to be nice. I mean, it’s not your fault your mom’s a bitch, is it? And all I’ve done is love her. For 20 years, that’s all I’ve done. Her heart, her mind, her face.

[ Cameron chuckling ] “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” God, I’m sorry about that. You know, the night I met sharon, I looked into her eyes and I knew she was the only woman for me. At that moment, I knew I couldn’t live without her. God knows I tried. Well, love is love. Fate is fate, right? So, I made my way back to her, ready to give myself to her completely. And what does she do? She lies through her teeth. She leads me on. She tells me exactly what I wanna hear. And then the moment that my back is turned, she stabs me in the back! You got any idea what that feels like? To give everything to someone? To bleed for them, to kill for them? And then they just dismiss you. Just treat you like you are garbage.

[ Cameron sniffing ] God, help me. God, I still love her.

Sharon: It’s a false bottom. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my god. This is mine. Cameron went through my things.

Nick: He was in your bedroom.

Chance: What’s this?

Nick: Yeah. These are the schematics of the genoa city sewer system. Hey, look, this tunnel right here, that goes right under the ranch.

Chance: That explains how he got on the property and into your house.

[ Phone ringing ]

Sharon: Unknown caller.

Chance: All right. This could be it.

Sharon: Where is she?

Cameron: You broke my heart, sharon.

Sharon: Where is faith? Is she okay?

Cameron: She’s not too happy. I told her what you did, how you treated me. She expects more from you.

Sharon: Don’t you touch her, cameron. I wanna hear her voice.

Cameron: Yeah, that’s, um, that’s not possible.

Sharon: Why? What have you done? Is she okay?

[ Faith whimpering ]

Cameron: She’s alive for now.

Sharon: Let me talk to her. I need to know that she’s all right.

Cameron: Kid’s sure got your fire, that’s for sure.

Sharon: Cameron, please, please, just let her go. I’ll do whatever you want, okay? Please.

Cameron: Oh, please. Now with the pleases? Little late for that, isn’t it?

Sharon: You promised that you wouldn’t hurt her.

Cameron: Yeah. And you promised me the world.

Sharon: Cameron, what– what do you want? Do you want me to come to you? You want me to run away with you? I will. I’ll do it. I swear. Just let her go, please.

Cameron: Well, and I should trust you? Words dripped outta your mouth like honey. And every one of them was a lie.

Sharon: I want my daughter!

Cameron: Well, you’ll get your daughter back. I just can’t guarantee the condition. Looks like the poor kid’s running outta oxygen.

Nick: Let her go, damn it!

Cameron: Even your useless hero, nick, can’t help you now. You picked the wrong horse, sharon. You turned your back on true love. You wanna find your child? She’ll be in the place where you expected to find my dead body all those years ago.

Sharon: Cameron, wait–

Adam: You see how much pain she’s in. I mean, isn’t there something that you can do for her?

Elena: We’re gonna do everything we can for her. Sally, I’m gonna contact your obgyn so I can get up to speed. I’ll know more once I speak to her, okay?

Sally: Okay.

Adam: Thank you.

Elena: Okay. I will be right back, but something tells me you’re in good hands.

[ Sally wincing with pain ]

Sally: Oh, this is not going as planned.

Adam: I know.

[ Sally wincing ]

Sally: Oh, I’m so scared.

Adam: Hey, hey, hey. Okay. It’s– hey, let’s not go there, okay? We are surrounded by professionals and they’re gonna give you the best possible care and they’re gonna take care of you and they’re gonna take care of our baby.

Sally: Yeah. What if I did this?

Adam: Sally, no. Okay? Stop.

Sally: I was so stressed out about nick and– and I insisted that we go out to eat and you told me that I should stay in and–

Adam: No, no, sally. Okay. Stop. You don’t get to blame yourself.

Sally: But I couldn’t sleep. Maybe I didn’t take my medication on time or–

Adam: Sally, stop. You did everything right, okay? This is just an unexpected blip. Everything is gonna work out.

[ Sally groaning in pain ] Can I get you some water? Hey, we’re having a– a summer baby. You know what that means, right? The holidays are right around the corner.

Sally: Oh, they are not.

Adam: They are if you plan ahead, and you know what? Halloween is first up. Our little girl, she’s gonna need a pretty sweet costume. I mean, what do you think? Ghost? Ghoul? Maybe a fairy princess? It’s kind of a tough decision. And then it’s gonna be thanksgiving and we’re gonna be making pumpkin pie with her.

Sally: Yeah. I know how much making those pies meant to you with your mom. And you said that she always wanted to make the holiday special.

Adam: Yeah.

Sally: Even if it was just the two of you.

Adam: Some of my best memories ever.

Sally: Oh, we are definitely gonna make those pies. There’s only one problem.

Adam: [ Laughing ] What?

Sally: I’ve never been good at baking.

[ Both laughing ]

Adam: Oh, well, we are– we’re gonna fix that.

Sally: What if we can’t fix this, adam?

Elena: Okay. Dr. Chandler is on her way. In the meantime, I’m gonna give you an iv bag of magnesium sulfate.

Adam: Ooh, that– hey, that sounds pretty delicious.

Sally: What is that?

Elena: It’s an anticonvulsive medication to help lower your blood pressure.

Sally: Is it safe for the baby?

Elena: Yes, it’s safe for both you and the baby, but there is something else.

Sally: What?

Elena: We’re concerned about the severity of your symptoms. They could indicate the possibility of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes or a low platelet count. And all of these things can be life-threatening to both you and the baby. So with that said, there is a chance that we may have to induce labor. So I didn’t think I needed swiffer.

Sally: It’s way too early for labor. The baby isn’t ready.

Elena: Sally, this is our most viable option. The longer we wait, the higher the risk for you and the baby.

Adam: Whatever the doctor says.

Elena: Adam, can you please excuse us? I’m gonna give sally a quick exam.

Sally: Can you please just call nick and tell him that I’m here and ask him to come?

Adam: I will call him. Just focus on taking care of yourself and our little girl.

Sally: Okay. God, you had no idea what you were getting yourself into when you told him you’d look out for me.

Adam: He didn’t need to ask, sally. I would’ve been here right by your side no matter what.

Sally: You’re the best.

Adam: Just trying to be a good co-parent.

Sally: Am I allowed to be scared now?

Adam: Just a little. Only ’cause the relief will be that much more profound. I’m not going anywhere. I’m gonna be– I’m gonna be right here, okay?

[ Sally panting ]

Sally: Adam… hope is a beautiful name.

[ Sally sobbing ]

Chance: Sharon, what did he say?

Sharon: He has faith in the sewer somewhere. He mentioned something about her running out of oxygen.

Nick: How? What the hell has he done to her?

Sharon: I don’t know. But I do know that he has completely lost his mind and we need to get to faith before it’s too late.

Chance: He’s right here. We can enter through there.

Nick: Here too. We come in from both sides, we cut off any escape route.

Chance: I’ll take a team in from the north. You take victor’s guys, go south.

Nick: Yeah, let’s do it.

Sharon: You’re not going anywhere without me.

Nick: Sharon, no. No, it’s too dangerous.

Sharon: I know him better than either of you. I know how his mind works. I know how deranged he is. I know what he’s capable of. If he is still with faith and he feels threatened in any way, he’ll– look, faith cannot be hurt because of my mistakes.

Nick: She’s not gonna be hurt.

Sharon: He does not bluff. He will kill her. I need to get to cameron right away. I need to be the one to end this.

Cameron: Fertile plain. That’s what the name sharon means, you know that? Imagine the kids we could have had. I used to think about that. A pack of kids. I always hoped that one of ’em would be a little girl like you, but now, I guess we’ll never know. But let me tell you something. You could help me with your mom. You– you– you– you could explain to her that I– I– I only did what needed to be done to remind her of our love, to make her understand that we– we belong together. You get that, right? You do it, we could be a real family. We could hang out. We could go on vacations. I guarantee that you can learn to love me at least as much as you– you think that you love your real dad. Sorry about your cat, by the way. That’s on your mom. Ignoring me like that, I had to do something to get her attention. I– I’ll– I’ll buy you a new cat if you want one. Any kind you want. Ground rules. You play nice, I take the gag off. Give you some water. We got a deal? All right. Come here. Ah, there you go. Hey, I’m not that scary. You know, your mom takes care of people. She’s– she’s kind and warm. She’s not– she’s not afraid to speak her mind. That’s part of her charm. Even when she, uh,

[ Laughing ] Even when she does it with a champagne bottle to the back of the head. You’re lucky you got such a great mom. Too bad you got such a son of a bitch for a dad.

Faith: My dad is the best.

Cameron: Really? I take your gag out and those are the first words outta your mouth? How about thank you?

Faith: He’s the best man that I know.

Cameron: Oh, really? Is that why he cheated on your mom? Broke her heart how many times? I would never do that.

Faith: You will never even be half the man that he is.

Cameron: Hey, big mouth. Don’t make me sorry I took that gag out. I’m trying to be nice. Here.

Faith: How do I know that it isn’t poisoned?

Cameron: Satisfied? Look, I’m sorry about all this. Dragging you down here. Whole thing got outta hand.

Faith: Then stop it. You can stop this.

Cameron: I didn’t start it! Nick newman did. Daddy. All because I adore a woman that he’s not man enough to love the way she needs to be. And again, I guess the course to true love was never smooth. I mean, think about it. There’s really only one bump in the road to– to– to sharon and I being together and that’s nick. Nick’s really the only one who needs to die. And then… I could be your dad. And I can love you and your mom and make you happy for the rest of your life. Here, come here. Okay. Come on. Come on. Come on. Drink, drink, drink, drink. Okay, there you go. You should not have done that. -Fixed. -That’s my son.

Adam: Nick, look, I know you have your hands full, but, um, you need to know sally’s in the hospital. It’s serious. Um, her doctor is– is on the way, so she wanted me to call you. So call me, let me know that you got this and tell me when you’re on your way.

[ Adam sighing ] Just… let them be okay. They don’t deserve this. Do what you want with me, but just leave them alone.

[ Phone ringing ]

Victor: Son, what’s going on?

Adam: Have you spoken to nick? I’ve been trying to get in touch with him.

Victor: He’s dealing with that slime ball cameron kirsten. Why are you looking for him?

Adam: Look, if you talk to him, tell him to give me a call. I don’t care how late it is.

Victor: Wait a minute, son. Is there something wrong with sally and the baby?

Adam: I gotta go.

Elena: Adam.

Adam: How’s sally?

Elena: Situation’s taken a turn.

Adam: What does that mean?

Elena: Sally is unconscious.

Adam: What! What happened?

Elena: The medication isn’t working. Her blood pressure’s too high and she’s at an extreme risk for placental abruption. That is when the placenta separates itself from the inner wall of the uterus. It can be fatal to both her and the baby.

Adam: Fatal?

Elena: Adam, there is no easy way to say this, but if we are to save the baby, we need to take her now. But there is a chance that we could lose sally during the procedure. So I need you to make a choice. Do we save the baby or do we save the mother?

Cameron: You little bitch!

Faith: Is that my mother’s?

Cameron: Faith, you are trying my patience.

Faith: And you’re crazy.

Cameron: What did you say to me? What did you say to me? Don’t you ever say that again. You understand me?

Faith: What is it you expect to get from this? Why are you doing it?

Cameron: It’s destiny, fate, kismet. It doesn’t happen like it does in a book or a movie. Where– where– where it all just comes together in one some kind of a big, big cosmic event. In real life, you’ve gotta– you’ve gotta grab it and you hold it. And the more hopeless it becomes, the harder you work. All I’m doing here is I’m manifesting my destiny and sharon’s because she has forgotten what we mean to each other. Nick, nick got in her head and he turned her against me. And now I need to remind her of how much she loves me.

Faith: I know the men that my mother has loved. You are not one of them. You never will be. If you love her, why are you trying to take her away from her happiness? The life that she has.

Cameron: What life? She slings coffee to a bunch of losers. She needs love. The kind of love that only I can give her. The kind of love she begged for.

Faith: You beat her.

Cameron: Faith, you need to shut up.

Faith: It’s the truth! You’re a monster!

Cameron: Little girl, I’m warning you. Shut your mouth or I will–

Faith: Or what? You’ll hit me?

[ Rustling ]

Cameron: Sounds like showtime.

Faith: Mom, dad, don’t come any closer! It’s a trap! Please run! B-dubs’ sweet chile lime sauce has 3 perfect ingredients.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Adam: What? You want me to choose between sally and our baby? I can’t make that decision.

Elena: I understand how difficult this choice is. This is where we are.

Adam: Come on. There– there has to be something that you can do. I mean, can’t you– you– you delay the c-section? You could stabilize sally and– and our baby.

Elena: I wish that were the case, but the baby is in distress. And if the placenta removes itself from the uterus, sally could hemorrhage and bleed to death.

Adam: And you want me to decide this right now? Right now, who lives and who dies? No, I can’t do that, okay?

Elena: I am so sorry, but time is of the essence.

[ Adam exhaling ]

Adam: Can I have a few minutes with sally, please? Please.

Elena: Two minutes.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: You know, I still remember the first time that I knew for sure that you were gonna turn my life upside down in the best way possible.

[ Adam exhaling ] How do I do this, sally? I’m the guy that screws up everything. Like when I broke up with you for your own good. How stupid was that? God, I’m the last guy that should be making life or death decisions. I need you to wake up.

[ Adam sniffling ] Come on, I need you– I need you to wake up and do that bossy thing that you do. And tell me how to handle this. I know what you would want.

Elena: Adam, it’s time. We have to move sally to the or. Have you made a decision? Adam, if you’re not able to make this call, the doctors will.

Adam: Wait!

Victor: Nick? Sharon?

Nikki: My god, what happened here?

Victor: I just got a call from adam. He was rather distraught. He was looking for nicholas and couldn’t get an answer. So, I came by to see if there’s a problem. Obviously, there is.

Nikki: Why was he trying to get ahold of nicholas?

Victor: I bet you it has to do with sally and the baby.

Nikki: Well, the fact that nicholas didn’t respond is concerning.

Victor: And that has to do with cameron kirsten, I bet you. I bet you, okay?

Nikki: Look at this place. What on earth? This. Oh, my god. Victor.

Victor: Son, as soon as you get this message, call me back. I wanna know where the hell you are.

Sharon: Oh, my god. Faith!

Faith: Mom, be careful. Cameron was just here. He’s gotta be close.

Sharon: Or he ran like the coward that he is. Let’s get you out of here. Are you okay? Did he hurt you? Did he touch you in any way?

Faith: I’m okay. But he’s next level insane.

Sharon: Oh, gosh. I’m so sorry about this.

Faith: He kept talking about how much he loved you. How dad ruined his chances to be with you.

Sharon: There was no chance of anything. He’s a complete psychopath. He is. He always was. Damn it!

Faith: We’ve gotta get outta here, mom. I think he knew that you were coming. He must have set up a trap. He was working on something over there.

Sharon: Okay, done. Go! Let’s get you out.

Nick: Oh, thank god.

Faith: Dad!

Nick: Come on. Let’s get you outta here. Come on. Come on.

Cameron: Not so fast, sweetie. You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

Adam: How is sally? Is she okay?

Elena: It was touch and go, but we got through the worst of it. I was able to stabilize her.

Adam: And, uh, our baby?

Elena: Adam… there was no way to save them both. I’m so sorry.

Victor: Why wasn’t I informed when nicholas and sharon left the premises?

Guard: They went with the rescue team and detective chancellor. With the police involved I didn’t think it was necessary.

Victor: You answer to me. You don’t answer to my son. You don’t answer to the damn cops! You keep me apprised.

Guard: I’m sorry.

Victor: Get the hell out of here. You’re fired! Now!

Nikki: Victor, it’s the sewer system. He’s taken them down there again. No, no, no, no, no, no. Where are you going?

Victor: To look for my son and my granddaughter.

Nikki: Victor, please don’T. It’s too dangerous.

Victor: It’s my family, sweetheart.

Nikki: Victor!

[ Door closes ] Oh, my god.

Faith: Mom!

Nick: Let her go.

Cameron: Nah, we’re good. Ain’t that right, baby? So nick, does this make you feel uncomfortable seeing her in my arms like this? ‘Cause feels pretty good from here. Just like old times. Isn’t that right?

Nick: You bastard.

Cameron: Ah! Don’t move.

Nick: Let her go!

Cameron: Or what? What are you gonna do? You can’t punch me. You– you can’t throw me out of an airplane. You know that’s your problem, nick. You think a fist solves everything.

Sharon: Cameron, please, we can resolve this, okay?

Cameron: Really? Really? Cheek to perfect cheek and you’re gonna try and shrink me? You’re gonna talk me down? What do you think? I’m stupid? Let me tell you something, I’m in control here. Not you and not him! Me!

Faith: Don’t hurt her.

Cameron: Love hurts, faith. That is just a sad fact of life. One that your father is about to truly understand.

Nick: You know I’m the one you wanna hurt. You let sharon and faith go and then you and I solve this right here, man to man.

Cameron: Oh, man to man. Like you even know what that means. You know, buddy, I’m tired of this conversation. You got a choice to make, nick.

Nick: What choice?

Cameron: A simple one. You’re gonna choose who lives and who dies. Faith or sharon. And if you can’t make a decision, you lose both.

Nick: Faith is free. She can just leave. Dad’s security team there are a couple hundred yards down this tunnel. You go to them. Chance and the police have the other exit blocked off. Go now. Go!

Cameron: Hey, hey, hey, hey, not so fast. Hey, nick, take a peek under her sweatshirt. You’ll find something interesting. Surprise. So here’s how this is gonna work. I’m gonna blow faith into pieces or I’m gonna slit sharon’s throat and we can watch her bleed out. It’s your call. My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Sally: You’re here.

Adam: Hey, I told you I wasn’t going anywhere.

Sally: Thank you.

Adam: Oh, you had me worried. I even prayed. Well, sort of, but it’s, um, it’s gonna be okay, sally.

Sally: The baby… how is she?

Cameron: Sharon or faith? What’s it gonna be?

Nick: You son of a bitch!

Cameron: Yeah, I am a son of a bitch. But so are you. You took everything from me. My life, my freedom, the woman I love and you lost nothing. You just kept living your life. The golden little rich boy. Well, guess what? I’m tired of losing, nick. It’s your turn. You got 30 seconds and I swear to god I’ll kill them both.

Nick: You hurt either one of them and I promise you, you will not leave this room alive.

Cameron: Oh, come on, man. You don’t think I know how this ends? I’m not walking outta here. But I swear, I am gonna destroy your life before I go. Say a name, nick. Come on, boy. The clock is ticking. Say a name! Say a name or I swear to god I will kill them both! Five, four–

[ Groaning ] God! You bitch!

Chance: Get on the ground! Cameron, get your hands up and on the ground!

Cameron: Sharon.

[ Groaning ] Ow.

[ Chuckling ] How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

[ Groaning ]

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless.

Billy: That’s from traci? “Calling a family meeting. No excuses.” You get the same thing?

Ashley: Yeah. What happened?

Adam: Do you need the doctor?

Sally: [ Sobbing ] No! I want her! I want her, adam. But you let her die. You’re the reason that she’s dead.

Chance: Well, before we take this off, the explosives are gonna have to be carefully deactivated one by one.

Nick: And you can do that, right?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Victoria: I stood my ground with my family and I told them that nick is dealing with too much to focus on work right now. Between sally’s pregnancy and the situation with cameron, I mean there’s no way that he can give his job the attention that it needs. And they said–

Nate: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me stop you right there. Are you sure you should share what they said with me?

Victoria: I am in charge of what happens at newman enterprises. And besides, this directly involves you, since you’re the one that I hope to lean on.

Billy: Can I grab an earl grey to go, and one of those brownies, please? Thank you.

[ Phone ringing ]

Adam: Hey.

Chelsea: Hey. I’m sorry to call so late. Is this a bad time?

Adam: I’m with sally and she’s sleeping, finally. What’s going on?

Chelsea: I’m not sure. Um, there’s nothing we can do about it tonight, but tomorrow I think we should find someone professional for connor to talk to.

Adam: I thought that he’d improved.

Chelsea: Well, so did I, but lately, I don’t know, he’s been so moody and distant and I’m worried about him. I’d feel a lot better if we could get him some outside help.

Adam: Absolutely. I’ll call you in the morning and we’ll get him the best child psychologist in the state.

Chelsea: Great. Thank you. And I hope everything’s okay with sally.

Adam: Me too.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Billy: Some earl grey for you and a little something for connor.

Chelsea: You’re the best. But you know, you can take off. There’s no reason for connor to ignore both of us. I can face this rejection on my own.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Sally: Was that nick?

Adam: No, it was chelsea, calling about connor.

Sally: Is something wrong?

Adam: It’s– it’s nothing for you to worry about. Did I wake you? I was– I was trying to keep my voice down.

Sally: No, no, it’s not you. I’m just too freaked out about nick. I can’t sleep. I– I– I have to get out of this room.

Adam: You’re not going anywhere. get in here?

Cameron: I knew nick would have the whole place surrounded with daddy’s security, so I found a workaround.

Sharon: I was on my way to meet you at the motel like you’d asked.

Cameron: I saved you a trip.

Sharon: Where is faith?

Cameron: You know, this is the first time we’ve been alone in a very long time. I mean without your ex-husband barging in. You’re as beautiful as the day we met. Time hasn’t touched you. Me, on the other hand, I might be a little harder to recognize. I’m– I’m going for recently incarcerated, but still ruggedly handsome.

Sharon: I would recognize you anywhere.

Cameron: Well, I’ll take that as a compliment. I’ve thought about you more than you can imagine. You actually became a part of me. Always with me, here. Just like I’m a part of you.

Sharon: Tell me where faith is.

Cameron: She’s fine, for now. What happens next… that’s up to you. When it comes to your hair, ingredients matter.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Sally: Okay, you can’t keep me here. I’m starving and I need something to eat.

Adam: Okay, well it’s late. What are you in the mood for? And don’t say a burger and fries with hot sauce, okay, because that can’t be doctor recommended. I’ll run out. I’ll get you something healthy. Or you know what, better yet, I’m gonna order you something. I’m gonna have it delivered.

Sally: Look, I’m tired of room service, okay? I’m not on bed rest. The doctor just said I need to take it easy. I can still go out and eat something.

Adam: Okay, be honest. This isn’t about just being hungry.

Sally: I know nick told you something about whatever this guy cameron is trying to pull. That is why you’re watching me like a hawk. Admit it.

Adam: Yes, he asked me to look out for you, but I already do that. So, I’m glad to get his stamp of approval so he won’t barge in here and accuse me of anything.

Sally: Okay, you’re dodging the cameron question, which is making me even more nervous.

Adam: Look, nick, told us that cameron was causing trouble. And he did, he got nick arrested for assault and battery. He already called and told us this. This isn’t news.

Sally: Okay, but this is not what I’m talking about. Something else happened, I know it. That is why nick asked to talk to you. He would not have asked if it wasn’t bad.

Adam: Sally, he was just worried about you, okay? We’re still brothers and we’re both concerned about you and the baby. And if he was to call me again, I would give him my honest opinion: You’re hangry. So, you better tell me what you want to eat or order it yourself because it can’t be healthy to get riled up like this.

Sally: Okay, you know what?

Adam: I’m supposed to be keeping you calm, sally.

Sally: Stop treating me like a child, okay? I’m going out, with or without you.

Adam: Sally.

Sally: You can’t stop me!

Adam: Fine, but you might want to put your shoes on.

Sally: Please. Just tell me if there’s something that I need to know about nick because I cannot stand not knowing and it is making me think the worst.

Sharon: What do you want, cameron? You have my daughter. You’ve sent chance and nick and victor’s security team all over town. Clearly, that was to get me alone. So, here we are. What are you really after?

Cameron: I want the same thing I’ve always wanted, you.

Sharon: Well, here I am. You have my full attention. Let’s talk.

Cameron: Ah, I kinda want a little more than a conversation, sharon.

Sharon: Tell me what it will take then to get faith back.

Cameron: It’s simple. Leave with me tonight, agree to spend the rest of your life with me and faith comes home.

Sharon: You remember the last time that you insisted that we run off together? That didn’t end well.

Cameron: A little worse for me than it did for you, but don’t worry, I don’t blame you for that. I know it wasn’t your fault. Nah, I blame nick. I blame nick, 100%. He just had to stick his nose into our business. But, thankfully, he’s not here tonight. It’s just us. And I know you’ll make the right choice this time. And I know you’ll mean it.

Sharon: You seem so confident. What makes you think that I would do that?

Cameron: Because I wouldn’t feel this connection unless something in you felt it too.

Sharon: Okay, let’s say that that’s true, that we are feeling each other’s feelings, then you would know that you have put me in an impossible situation. You have my daughter. That picture you sent me, you would know that that terrifies me. I can’t be free to think about us unless I know that she’s okay.

Cameron: You need to trust me. I would never hurt your daughter unless I had to.

Sharon: As much as I want to trust you, I cannot consider your request unless I see for myself that faith is all right.

Cameron: You know what? Stop it. I know what you’re doing. I know you’re a therapist now. So, you’re gonna try to get inside my head, you’re gonna try to figure out what I’m thinking and then you’re gonna try to manipulate those thoughts. First of all, good luck with that. Secondly, you wanna know what I’m thinking? Don’t look here, look here. Look into my heart.

Sharon: Why don’t you look into my heart? And you will see that it is full of love and concern for my daughter. It is too full to focus on you.

Cameron: You know what? That’s a load of crap. I may not have a fancy degree, but I know you better than you know yourself. So, how about I tell you what I see when I look into your heart? I see a woman who has resigned herself to being alone. Because every man she has ever known has let her down. Nick, jack, adam, rey. They all let you down and none of them ever loved you the way that I do. Even after you rejected me, landed me in jail, I still wanted you more than anything that I’ve ever wanted in my life. And 20 years in prison didn’t change that. That’s how pure my love is. I tried to let you go, but no other woman was you.

Sharon: I heard about one of those women. You beat her, didn’t you? Just like you beat me. Abuse isn’t love. Hitting someone isn’t love.

Cameron: I don’t know. Maybe… I think I feel things more deeply than other people do and then I act accordingly.

Sharon: How can kidnapping my daughter be love?

Cameron: It was a wake-up call, sharon! Taking faith is the only way I knew to get your attention. To make you realize that deep down you inside, you feel our connection too. And you know what? No amount of shrink talk is ever gonna make me think that we don’t belong together. Because this, this is real and this is unstoppable.

Nate: I’m honored that you’d want to lean on me.

Victoria: Why do you sound surprised?

Nate: Well, you do have nikki and victor is clearly never out of the picture.

Victoria: But it’s you that I want. We’ve been working so well together. You just have this fresh energy and this passion.

Nate: I’m glad you think so. So, is nick definitely taking a leave of absence? Because your parents sounded like they were against it.

Victoria: No, they understand that nick has too much on his plate right now. That he needs to step back while this crisis is dealt with. They just don’t want to call it an official leave of absence, but that’s what it will be. And my mom and I are gonna have to take over nick’s responsibilities, so I’m gonna need you to back me up. Unless… if you’re not up for it, then–

Nate: Of course I am. I’m here to support you however you need.

Victoria: That’s why I know you’re gonna do great. Because you’re ambitious. I know you’re gonna put in the hard work and you’re gonna reap the benefits. You’re exactly what newman needs. What I need.

Nate: That’s all true, but you forgot to mention that I would support you because I respect and admire you. And I care about you. My attraction to you is as mental and emotional as it is physical. I hope you know that.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis

Victoria: Of course, you know, stepping in for nicholas means that newman media is gonna get a lot less of your attention.

Nate: I’m confident audra can cover me there.

Victoria: Oh, yeah, I have no doubt. I think you and I both know she would take your job in a second if she could.

[ Nate chuckling ]

Nate: Does that bother you?

Victoria: No, not at all. I know exactly who audra is and what she wants. She’s not very subtle about it.

Nate: She’s made her ambitions very clear.

Victoria: Well, as long as that keeps her working hard, I have no professional issue with her whatsoever.

Nate: Professional issue?

Victoria: Well, let’s just say, it’s unlikely that audra and I are gonna become best friends any time soon. I’m fine with that. She needs to have her full focus on newman media, especially because adam has delusions of coming after his old company using mccall.

Nate: I’ve been thinking about that. I think we should be proactive.

Victoria: I couldn’t agree with you more.

Nate: Instead of waiting to play defense against a mccall attack…

Victoria: We make sure that mccall never gets strong enough for adam to make that move in the first place.

Adam: Are you trying to blackmail me into taking you out?

Sally: I am not above it.

Adam: Look, I swear I have nothing to tell you about nick.

Sally: Look, the whole reason that nick asked for you to watch out for me is so that I do not get stressed out, but keeping me cooped up in here is totally stressing me out.

Adam: I am doing what’s best for you and the baby. You’re not going to win this argument.

Sally: Please. Okay, nick is out there protecting sharon and faith from some psycho and you are the one who told me that he has a bad temper and he reacts with his fists. So, if you really want me to relax, you will let me out of here so I don’t have to think about that. I will sleep for ten hours if you do.

Adam: You– you– you’re impossible.

Sally: You’re not gonna win this.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: Twelve hours and you don’t leave my sight.

Sally: Eleven. And you’re buying dinner. Excuse me.

Adam: Where do you think you’re going?

Sally: Now what?

Adam: I don’t care what you say. You’re not going out without these.

Chelsea: Connor, what are you doing here?

Connor: I wanted to see you.

Chelsea: Oh, well we just came down to grab some tea.

Billy: Got you a little something special in there too.

Chelsea: Why didn’t you text me? I would have come back up.

Connor: I’m not a helpless little kid.

Chelsea: I know. I know that. I just, um… are you okay?

[ Connor sighing ]

Connor: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to get angry like that. I just wanted to say, I hope you’re not mad at me for shutting myself in my room.

Chelsea: I’m not mad. I’m glad you came to find me. Come here.

Cameron: I will give you everything you’ve ever wanted. I still have more than enough money stashed away for us to live the rest of our lives in luxury. You– you– you want a tropical island? A ranch in montana? The south of france? You name it.

Sharon: I have everything I want, right here. This– this is my home.

Cameron: Oh, please. You expect me to believe that you’re satisfied slinging coffee and pastries for genoa city’s brain dead elite? Having to listen to their never-ending problems?

Sharon: Well, it doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. It’s true.

Cameron: You’re better than that. You know it and I know it. You come with me, you will never have to make another mocha latte or listen to some sad sack drone on about their– their unresolved trauma.

Sharon: I’m listening to you right now, aren’t I? Trying to figure out what brought you to this point? Why you think we have a future?

Cameron: You brought me here. Our connection brought me here. Why can’t you accept that? Sharon, my sole purpose in life right now is to make you happy and I will never ever let you down the way that nick has over and over again.

Sharon: Nick has nothing to do with this.

Cameron: Ah, come on. I– I– I think the therapist might need a little bit of therapy. Now, I know it’s hard for you to trust a man after you’ve been let down so many times, but honey, nick is the problem. He’s the reason for your unhappiness.

Sharon: If you really care about me, then prove to me that faith is okay!

Cameron: Okay, you know what? I am tired of talking about other people. First, it was nick, then it’s faith. There’s only two people here that I want to talk about and that’s you and me. And if those other people are too distracting, then trust me, I will remove the distraction. – You like that bone?

Nate: So, you want to hear my thoughts on mccall?

Victoria: Right now, that’s all I want.

Nate: Well, I’ve been looking at the company and I think we should go after their biggest weaknesses first. I’ve made a list of the divisions I think we can take a run at.

Victoria: Yeah, that all looks great. I think we should put audra on that. It will give her a set of targets to keep her hungry mind busy. But uh, you missed their biggest achilles heel.

Nate: Really? I thought my analysis was thorough.

Victoria: Of the divisions, sure, but adam is their weakest link.

Nate: Right, right, adam. And I’m sure you have the inside track on getting the upper hand there.

Sally: I want every dish on here, but all I can hear is my doctor warning me about my blood pressure or nick reminding me about heartburn.

Adam: Well, I’m sure we can find something acceptable. I mean, how about a caesar salad with chicken?

Sally: I can’t have the dressing, raw eggs.

Adam: Really? I did not know that. Then, a house salad.

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: That sounds boring, so it’s probably fine.

Adam: No texts or calls from nick?

Sally: No, and I’m dying to call him, but I know that I can’t bother him on whatever secret mission he’s on, so I guess tonight is all me about wanting things that I can’t have. Do you know how much that stinks?

Adam: I have some idea, yes. Look, I’m sure that we can find something appetizing for both you and the baby. So, let’s figure it out. What is she craving?

Sally: Anything with hot sauce.

Adam: Well, what does that say about her? Other than the fact she’s like her mother.

Sally: This little girl is spicy and we should be terrified of her.

Adam: Well, I’m not easily scared. But as long as she has the best of you and my mother, she will be perfect.

Sally: I wish you would stop doing that.

Adam: Doing what?

Sally: Implying that she becomes nothing like you. Look, I want her to inherit the best of her entire family tree and that includes you and me, and hope and my great aunt sally and my gramps and coco and nick and victoria and maybe even victor.

Adam: Nah.

Sally: No.

Adam: No.

Sharon: Threatening my daughter’s life, how is that love? You prove to me that you care about me. Take me to faith.

Cameron: That is enough! Sharon, I am telling you. You just stop– just stop pushing me. How dare you? How dare you treat me like this when I’m standing in front of you opening a vein!

Sharon: Nick and chance will be here any minute. Victor’s security team is crawling all over this property. There’s no way out for you.

Cameron: Nick’s not coming. I called him from upstairs just after he left. I told him he had 20 minutes to get to where faith was if he wanted to save her. So, I wouldn’t expect him to show up any time soon to rescue you. I think he understood the urgency.

Sharon: What if he doesn’t get there in time?

Cameron: Well, let’s hope he doesn’t let you down again. Now, as for your other threats, I think we both know they’re empty. Right now, chance is going through that garage, and half of victor’s team is probably on their way to stake out the motel and the other half is with nick.

Sharon: And that suitcase? You left that in your hotel room for us to find then? You knew that we would and we’d find the deed to that abandoned garage and we would assume that faith was there.

Cameron: I was worried it was a little too obvious, but anyway, obvious or not, chance would have to follow that lead, so it was a win-win strategy.

Sharon: And the message for me to meet you in the motel room?

Cameron: I knew that chance or nick would insist on going with you with the backup. So, they’d have to leave early to get it all set up.

Sharon: Leaving me alone in the house. You’ve had this in the works for a long time.

Cameron: Months. So, you said I was trapped, but the truth is, there’s no way out of this for you.

Sharon: I’ll do whatever you want, cameron. I’ll do whatever you want. Just please let faith go. Let faith go. That’s me before dawn powerwash.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. And we’re done.

Elena: Well, isn’t this cozy?

Nate: Hello, elena.

Elena: I guess at least you’re not keeping it a secret anymore.

Nate: I hope you don’t plan on making a scene like you did in L.A.

Elena: Right. Because it was my fault things turned ugly.

Nate: Look, if you want to talk to me, in private–

Elena: I don’T. But that scene in L.A. That you were talking about, that was back when I was naive enough to love you, trust you and even respect you. I guess I learned that lesson the hard way. You know, I always thought you were intelligent, but here you are falling for two users in a row. First, ashland, and now his best man.

Victoria: I don’t see the similarity.

Elena: Yeah, I guess that is your blind spot. But I can see it clearly. They are both happy to be with you as long as they get what they want, but once they don’t, you better watch out.

Connor: I know that I’ve been a jerk to you too. And johnny. I’m sorry.

Billy: Connor, you don’t have to worry about that, okay? I understand and johnny understands. You’ve got a lot on your plate right now. Sometimes, we get overwhelmed and we get a short fuse. It happens to the best of us.

Chelsea: No one is angry with you. We’re just worried. Do you understand the difference?

Connor: Yeah.

Chelsea: Okay. So can you talk to us? Can you tell us what’s going on?

Billy: Does this mood have anything to do with the baby? Yeah.

Connor: I’m sorry about how I’ve been acting, but you don’t have to worry about me anymore. I’m getting used to the idea that dad and sally are having a baby, that I’ll have a sister.

Chelsea: Well honey, it’s a lot to deal with. I mean, these are some grownup feelings you’re having. But the good thing is you don’t have to go through it alone.

Connor: I know, I’ve got you.

Chelsea: Of course you do, but not just me. You know, there might be times that you might want to vent about me or vent about your dad and that’s okay. You’re allowed to do that. So, your dad and I are thinking, maybe it’s time for you to talk to a therapist like I do. So we can find you somebody tomorrow, a professional to talk to.

Connor: No. I don’t need to talk to anyone else. I just need you.

Chelsea: Oh.

[ Chelsea exhaling ] Sweetheart.

Adam: Hey, I wanted to ask you, have you given any more thought to baby names?

Sally: Yeah, only every waking minute.

Adam: Well, not to overstep, but I was wondering if you might consider the name hope.

Sally: That would mean a lot to you, wouldn’t it?

Adam: It would. But no pressure. And you know, not a first name. Maybe a middle name?

Sally: It’s beautiful. And I think we should absolutely add it to the list. But I don’t really wanna choose just yet. I don’t know, call it superstition, but would you mind if maybe we waited to have this discussion closer to the due date?

Adam: Mm-hmm. Sure. But it’s going to sneak up on us faster than we know.

Sally: I know and I… I’m terrified.

Adam: What– what part?

Sally: All of it.

Adam: You know, I really wish that I could convince you that you are going to be a wonderful mother. This kid is blessed. Even with nick in the picture.

Sally: Very funny.

[ Sally grunting ]

Adam: What– what is it? What is it?

Sally: Oh, I don’t know.

[ Sally panting ]

Cameron: I’ll let faith go as soon as we’re far away from genoa city.

Sharon: Okay, you win, cameron. I’ll go with you. Because I need my daughter to be safe. But you– you have to promise me that she will be okay.

Cameron: And you have to trust me. I would never hurt your child.

Sharon: All right then. Where are we going?

Cameron: It’s a surprise.

Sharon: How about a hint so that I know what to pack?

Cameron: And ruin the fun? You don’t have to pack anything. We’re starting over. I’ll buy you all new things.

Nick: She’s not going anywhere with you. You get your hands off her!

Sharon: Nick!

[ Nick grunting ] Nick! Nick!

[ Punches thudding ] Even when I was with the people I love,

Sharon: Nick, stop! Stop it! He’s not worth it! I’ll just do what he says. Just get off of him.

Nick: Just go and get help.

[ Cameron shouting ]

Cameron: Get up. Get up.

[ Both grunting ]

Sharon: Help! Security! We need help! Help! Nick.

Cameron: We need to go.

Sharon: You go to hell.

Cameron: I warned you. I have your child. I have your child, sharon!

Sharon: Nick! Oh, my gosh, nick. Are you okay? Are you okay? Come, wake up.

Nick: We get him?

Sharon: Cameron got away, he said he has faith.

Nick: What?

Sharon: He’s got, faith. He says he’s got faith.

Nick: Where– where’d he go?

Sharon: He’s upstairs.

Nick: Okay.

Nate: Elena, please–

Victoria: Nate, uh, I can handle this. Look, I don’t want to argue, I really don’T. You’re saying hurtful things because you’ve been hurt, but trust me, in time, the pain will fade and then maybe you won’t feel the need to verbally assault people in public.

[ Elena chuckling ]

Elena: Whoa. I think you’ve been a newman princess for far too long if you think that was an assault. Those were just facts.

Nate: Don’t do this.

Elena: Good for you, nate. Finally protecting something. You know, I’m glad the two of you are together because I can already see the future. You are gonna use each other up and then burn each other down to the ground. It’s gonna really be fun to watch. Enjoy your evening.

Connor: Thanks for the brownie.

Billy: You are very welcome.

Chelsea: The way he devoured that, you’d think I didn’t feed this kid dinner.

Connor: I’m ready to go to bed now.

Billy: Bed? Geez, I should’ve gotten you something with a little less sugar.

Connor: It won’t keep me up.

Chelsea: That’s true actually. I saw him eat a whole bag of halloween candy once and he went straight to bed. Okay, come on. I’ll go up with you.

Connor: I can go myself. And yes, I’ll brush and floss.

Billy: Impressive. Do me a favor. Talk to johnny about that oral hygiene thing. He just fights me on it every night.

Connor: Sure. If you want, but I doubt hell listen to me. Goodnight. Love you.

Chelsea: I love you. Why am I more worried now than ever?

Adam: Let’s get you to the hospital, okay? Do you think that you can walk?

Sally: Oh, I don’t know.

Adam: Come, come, come.

[ Sally panting ]

Sally: What? Oh, what’s happening?

Adam: It’s okay, all right. We’ve got this. We’re gonna get help and everything is gonna be okay. I promise. Come on.

Sally: Okay.

[ Sally grunting ]

Adam: Come on. It’s okay.

Trelegy for copd.

Nick: Cameron got away.

Sharon: What? How is that possible? He ran upstairs. I’ve been down here the whole time. He didn’t get past me.

Nick: It’s crazy, it’s like he disappeared, but then I figured it out. The bastard made a hole in the closet of noah’s old room.

Sharon: What?

Nick: It’s how he got in, sharon. He came in through the walls.

Sharon: He was covered in dirt when he got here. Oh, my god.

Nick: He must have tunneled under the house. That’s how he evaded ranch security. It’s how he came in and poisoned the cat and placed the bug and got you alone.

Sharon: And now he got away. Oh, my gosh, he could be anywhere right now.

Nick: I know. We’re gonna find him.

Sharon: You didn’t see the look on his face. He knows that I despise him. He knows that his perfect plan didn’t work and he said that he has faith. He’s headed to her right now. We have got to stop him!

Nate: I’m sorry for elena’s behavior. It was out of line and frankly, not like her.

Victoria: Don’t apologize, okay? I– I meant what I said. I get it, elena’s hurt.

Nate: It doesn’t mean she has to treat you like that. It’s me she hates.

Victoria: I don’t take it personally, I don’T. I mean, she thought that the two of you had something real and now she knows that that’s not true. I’ve been through that. It’s– it’s like a punch in the gut.

Nate: It’s my fault. I should’ve broken things off earlier.

Victoria: Well, just think of it this way. Now, she’s free to find the right person.

Nate: I hope so. I do wish that for her. Because I know what that feels like now. I’m exactly where I want to be.

Adam: Elena! Thank god. Can you uh– can you help us?

Elena: Hey. What’s going on?

Adam: Uh, we were at society when her pain came on. It was sudden.

Elena: Okay, sally what are your symptoms?

Sally: I just have a headache and this pain in my right side.

Elena: Okay, have you ever felt that before?

Sally: No, just my headaches.

Adam: And her– her O.B. Said that she was at risk for preeclampsia and ordered her to rest.

Elena: Okay. Let’s get you to have a seat and we’re gonna get you admitted okay?

Sally: Oh, god! Oh, what is happening? I’m afraid it’s my– oh, it’s my baby. Please help me.

Elena: Okay, I’m gonna go get a triage nurse. Excuse me.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sharon: He has faith, nick. He has our baby.

Nick: We’re gonna get her back, all right? It’s gonna be okay. We’ll get her home safe and sound.

Sharon: He… he… he wants to meet me at the motel. Same room. Midnight.

Nick: That is not happening. I will go in your place.

Sharon: He wants me alone. I have to go, nick. It’s the only way.

Nick: Why would I ever allow you to go and meet up with him on your own?

Sharon: Because this.

Lily: Hey. What’s going on?

Daniel: Oh, nothing. Just sitting here trying to enjoy an adult beverage and contemplating life’s mysteries.

Lily: Okay, well you sounded really upset on the phone. Is everything okay? Is it– is it phyllis?

Daniel: It’s always phyllis.

Lily: What happened? I mean, I knew you were afraid that she was gonna get arrested. Did she get arrested?

Daniel: No. Not yet. But I am afraid that the next time I see my mom or my sister, they’ll both be behind bars.

Summer: Oh. I thought I heard kyle come in.

Diane: No, just me.

Summer: Uh, well, I’m sure that he’s already told you, but I… I want you to hear it from me too. It’s– it’s true. I’ve known that my mom is alive for… a while now, so. Go ahead. Let me have it. I know that you want to.

Diane: I’ve already forgiven you.

Kyle: All of the times that you ran off without an explanation, and lame ones at best, you were going to see phyllis, weren’t you? When were you going to tell me what you’ve been hiding? What the hell, summer? You lied about something that directly affected all of our lives for months. How could you do that? You could have cleared my mother’s name and set her free. You could have gotten her out of that god awful place, but instead, you decided to sit back and do nothing!

Summer: Kyle, you gotta believe me. I was trying to figure out how to keep both of our moms out of prison. I only kept quiet to buy time. To bring my mom home safely. That’s it.

Kyle: No, I am sorry, summer. I can’t accept your justifications. You were only thinking about you and your mother.

Summer: No, I was– I was trying to do what was right for everyone.

Kyle: No, stop, stop, stop. You have to own up to your actions here. You weren’t just sitting back and watching my mother suffer. You watched me suffer.

Summer: I was suffering lying to you, kyle. It was torture for me.

Kyle: No, and you were so damn good at it. You lied repeatedly to my face!

Audra: Is that seat taken? Want to get him involved.

Nick: I’m gonna go this motel and rip cameron apart with my bare hands.

Sharon: Nick, we need to think this through. This is cameron. You know how careful we need to be.

Nick: This psychopath has kidnapped our daughter. She is bound and gagged and probably terrified out of her mind. I need to go and pound him into the ground until he gives us our daughter back alive and well!

Sharon: You cannot go charging over there like a bull in a china shop! You might put faith in more danger!

[ Door knocking ]

Victor: Sharon, this is victor.

Nick: You’re right. I’m not going to go alone. I’ll get dad’s security team to back me up.

Sharon: I thought you didn’t want to get him involved.

Nick: We need all the help we can get. Dad, I’m glad you’re here.

Victor: What happened?

Nick: I need your help.

Victor: With what?

Nick: Cameron has faith.

Victor: What?

Nick: Let me see the phone.

Victor: How did this happen? With all the security I provided, how did this happen?

Nick: We’ll worry about that later. Right now, we need to focus on getting faith back. Will your security team provide me with some backup?

Victor: Of course. I’ll get you an army to get her back. How the hell did this happen?

Sharon: Okay, stop it, the both of you. You cannot go storming over there all fired up for battle. That could be the most dangerous thing you would do. Do– you read his message. I need to be the one to go. I have got to be the one to face cameron. Alone. Gala.

Kyle:

Audra: Kyle, right? Audra charles. We met at the gala.

Kyle: Uh, yeah. You’re the one who found my phone. Thanks again.

Audra: Yeah, I wasn’t sure if you’d remember, considering everything.

Kyle: Seems like a lifetime ago.

Audra: Yeah, I can imagine your memories of that night are pretty difficult given what happened to your wife’s mother, or should I say, didn’t happen. Rumors of her demise were greatly exaggerated. I guess it depends on what rumors you want to believe.

Kyle: Mm. Well, I would normally advise you not to believe any rumors, but… in this case, they might all be true.

[ Nick sighing ]

Audra: So, phyllis summers faked the whole thing and is actually alive?

Kyle: I’m sorry, audra. You seem very nice, but I’m not in the business of discussing my personal life with total strangers.

Audra: Oh. I get it. Though, in my experience, sometimes it’s a total stranger you most need to talk to. Their perspective is so much clearer. It’s not prejudiced with preconceived notions about a person or a situation. It’s no judgement. It’s kind of like with bartenders, you know? People will tell them everything because they’re just there to innocently listen.

Kyle: Well, that’s very kind of you, but I think I’m just gonna–

Audra: I promise I’m a very good listener.

Summer: Uh, maybe you haven’t heard the whole story.

Diane: Are you trying to talk me out of forgiving you?

Summer: No. I just think that once you know everything, you might regret your decision.

Diane: Why don’t you tell me the whole story? What is it that you think I don’t know about yet?

Summer: Look, I know that keeping this secret has really hurt kyle and you, of course. I could have gotten the charges against you dropped way sooner, but I didn’T. Instead, I ch– chose to protect my mom at your expense.

Diane: I’m well aware of that.

Summer: And what? You’re– you’re okay with what I did?

Diane: No. No, no, no. No. You let me sit in jail with my life hanging in the balance over utterly false charges. I am not okay with that. But, I do understand why you did it.

Summer: You do.

Diane: Yes. I realize that you were put into an impossible situation with no easy solution. Trust me, summer. I’m not playing games here. This is how I feel and I’ll even take it a step further. I’m going to do everything in my power to convince kyle to forgive you too.

Summer: You would do that? After everything that has happened? Wow. Thanks, diane.

Diane: Oh, no thanks necessary. I really– I really can’t stand to see you and kyle torn apart over this, and god knows you shouldn’t be blamed for something that was clearly not your fault.

Summer: It’s all my fault. I’m responsible.

Diane: Well, yes, but we all know that phyllis manipulated you into keeping you quiet. I mean, it was her psychotic plan that caused all this trouble in the first place, so if anyone is to blame–

Summer: Okay, hold on, diane. Please, please, do not turn this into an attack against my mom.

Nick: There’s no way I’m letting you face this bastard on your own.

Victor: Sharon, think about it for a moment. This is too dangerous. He may be setting a trap for you.

Sharon: I don’t doubt that it is a trap.

Nick: Wait, you realize that, but you’re still willing to walk right into his web?

Sharon: He has faith and we have no idea where. It terrifies me to think what he might do to her. He might have somebody else watching her, just waiting for a word to do her harm and I know that he’s thought this through. Every angle. He’ll have taken precaution.

Nick: Then we do the same.

Sharon: He’s methodical in his madness and we cannot take that risk with faith’s life.

Nick: Still, I just– I cannot fathom the idea of you being alone with him.

Victor: I agree with nicholas, but if you do– I think it’s an insane idea, but if you do, you’ve got to arm yourself.

Sharon: That could be the trigger that sets him off. We have to got to be careful not to push him to go to a more dangerous place. He’s already delusional enough to think that I might fall in love with him. Nick, isn’t that what he said to you?

Nick: Yeah, and I actually think that he believed it.

Sharon: All right. If that’s the case, and he is that delusional to think that we could be together and we have some future together, cameron is not planning on hurting me, but that wouldn’t be true of anybody else who goes after him… which means that I am the only one who has the power to control the situation.

Sometimes, the lows

of bipolar depression

Daniel: Right?

Lily: Thank you.

Daniel: Honestly, I don’t know what to do. Summer’s desperate to keep mom out of prison and she’s willing to go to any lengths necessary.

Lily: Well, it sounds like summer. And your mom.

Daniel: Right? The problem is, summer wants me to help her do it.

Lily: Do what? Try and keep your mom out of prison? I mean, you can’t turn back time. What’s done is done.

Daniel: Exactly. Meanwhile, mom wants me to do whatever it takes to keep summer out of it.

Lily: Well, how are you supposed to do that?

Daniel: I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe she’ll finally do the right thing.

[ Lily chuckling ]

Lily: Well, why would she start now?

Daniel: It’s a good point. Especially if it means turning herself in. I can’t see that happening. In fact, it’s the opposite.

Lily: What do you mean?

Daniel: Mom is on the run again. So, even if I wanted to turn her in, I can’t now.

[ Lily sighing ]

Lily: Daniel, I’m really sorry you’re stuck in the middle of this.

Daniel: Hm.

Lily: But to be honest with you, as someone who’s actually been to prison, it might not hurt for phyllis to do some time.

Diane: Summer, I’m not attacking phyllis. I just think it’s clear who’s to blame for the nightmare we’ve all been going through.

Summer: I agree. It is clear. This was all a part of stark’s master plan. He’s the one who started all of this trouble to begin with.

Diane: Well, I guess, technically, that’s true.

Summer: You know what? If you wanna go all the way back to try to place blame, how did we even hear stark’s name in the first place? I think it was you that brought him into our lives, diane.

Diane: Oh, wait a minute. I’m not the one who invited him to town.

Summer: But you’re the one who had history with him. You’re the one that burned him. Everything is unintended consequences.

Diane: Unintended consequences? Summer. Summer, we’re getting way off track here. Yes, this plan was the work of jeremy stark, but he could not have faked phyllis’ death without her full participation and it is naive to think that your mother is somehow innocent in all of this.

Summer: No, my mom didn’t do any of this on her own. She was coerced and threatened and maybe even blackmailed into doing what she did.

Diane: Is that what phyllis is telling you? That she was blackmailed into that performance at the gala?

Summer: Diane, you were the one who brought stark to town and maybe you didn’t commit murder, but you’re not innocent and I’m not ever gonna let myself forget that.

[ Diane sighing ]

Nick: All right, sharon. All right. If you insist with on meeting with cameron alone, you’re gonna take some precautions.

Sharon: Like what?

Nick: First, you’re gonna go in there with some backup and that includes me.

Sharon: He said to come alone, nick. Cameron said.

Nick: No. We will keep our distance so we don’t alert cameron. Your team can manage that, right, dad?

Victor: One second. I just found the number of a special ops guy whose specialty is rescue missions.

Nick: All right. Set it up. Let’s go.

Victor: I’ll call him right now.

Nick: Thanks, dad.

Victor: Sharon… thank you. You’re risking your life to save my granddaughter. I’ll never forget it.

Nick: Takes a lot of courage to do what you’re doing. I still hate this plan, but cameron is crazy. He’s already in your head, he’s got our daughter’s life in his hands. He knows where you’re most vulnerable.

Sharon: Of course I’m vulnerable where my child is concerned. I’m so afraid for her right now, I could scream. I know first hand what cameron is capable of. It’s taken everything inside of me not to fall apart. And the thought of facing him again? Makes me sick to my stomach, but I don’t have time for that, nick.

[ Sniffling ] Our baby doesn’t have time.

Audra: Something like tha

Audra: Thank you.

Kyle: So… you wanna be my bartender, audra?

Audra: Something like that.

Kyle: Well, I have simone over there, who is an actual bartender and she makes the perfect old fashioned and I have to say, she’s probably a much more innocent listener than you are.

Audra: Oh. What are you getting at, hm?

Kyle: I’m just a little weary. I don’t know what you’re really after.

Audra: You don’t think it’s possible that I’m just a sounding board? Someone you can talk to who won’t judge?

Kyle: Hm. I get the feeling I should keep my guard up around you. From what I’ve heard, you have ambitions.

Audra: Oh, wow, kyle. Some people say that my ambitions are my best quality.

Kyle: Well, that may be, but I don’t know if I can confide in an ultra achiever like yourself. I’ve heard you’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done.

Audra: Hm. You heard things about me? I’m flattered. But you’re right. I do consider myself an achiever. I’ve successfully made a mark for myself wherever I’ve gone.

Kyle: Including with my brother-in-law, noah newman.

Audra: Brother-in-law.

Kyle: Hm.

Audra: Right. Uh… that’s all in the past now. You know, he’s moved on and found happiness and I moved on as well.

Kyle: But have you found happiness?

Audra: Have you? Hm. You look like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.

Kyle: How about this? I finish my drink and you talk while I listen?

Audra: I’m game. What do you want me to talk about? Look, I am well versed in a variety of topics. Some important and weighty, and some just downright ridiculous.

[ Kyle laughing ]

Kyle: Well, how about you tell me more about yourself?

Audra: Okay.

Kyle: How did you end up here in genoa city?

Audra: Since you asked, um, I came here working for tucker mccall until I zigged to a brief stint with chancellor-winters. And then, I zagged to newman media where I found my true self working with nate hastings. I think I found my home there.

Kyle: So, ultra achiever, where do you go from newman media?

Audra: Well, I’m happy where I’m at, but I’ll see what opportunities present themselves. Ambition is not a dirty word to me, kyle.

[ Kyle chuckling ] In fact, you know, I think, um, some people are afraid of their own desires. It’s like… they’re ashamed to admit how badly they want something.

Kyle: Are you sure we’re still talking about jobs?

Audra: Mm. You tell me.

Mariah: Thank you so much. Hi, summer. You know, I was actually hoping to run into you. I was wondering if you got the bouquet that tessa and I sent? The flowers for phyllis’ memorial?

Summer: Yeah. They were beautiful, thanks.

Mariah: So, what do you do now? Now, do you just send all those flowers back to people? Because it was all a big lie? Or… what happens?

Summer: Mariah, I really just wanted to get some chamomile tea without all the attitude, so if I could just do that, please.

Mariah: Oh, yeah. No, I can’t see that happening, but you can take this with your chamomile. What in the hell were you thinking?

Summer: I’m not in the mood for this right now.

Mariah: You know, I’ve never had an especially high opinion of you, but even I was surprised that you could keep phyllis’ secret, knowing how deeply it would affect diane and kyle.

Summer: You know what? What would you have done if sharon was the one that needed protecting? Especially after you went the trauma of thinking that you lost her forever? Yeah, it’s really easy to judge when you haven’t been through it yourself.

Mariah: I suppose if sharon had been the one that I thought I lost forever, then yes, I would do anything to keep her safe and close.

Summer: Okay. Exactly. That’s– that’s exactly what I did. I’m glad that you see my point of view.

Mariah: I– I can see it, but I still do not agree with what you did.

Summer: Can I ask you a question? And depending on the answer, I might ask you a favor.

Nick: We are going to get faith back. I promise you that. She’s gonna be fine.

Sharon: I know she will. She has to be. Nothing will happen to her and we’ll have her home in no time, right?

[ Door knocking ]

Nick: Who’s there?

Chance: Chance. Hey.

Nick: Hey.

Chance: What’s wrong? Did something happen?

Sharon: It’s faith.

Nick: Cameron has her.

Sharon: He’s demanding that I meet him at the motel we met at years ago and to come alone.

[ Chance exhaling ]

Chance: Okay. Thank you for not keeping this from me. You guys can’t handle this on your own.

Nick: We have to find her.

Sharon: Our poor baby. She must be terrified. Please tell me you can help us find her.

Chance: I did find something at the athletic club. Kirsten left behind a satchel with some papers inside of it, one of which was a deed to some property on the outskirts of town.

Nick: What kind of property?

Chance: It’s an old, abandoned garage off birchwood.

Sharon: And he owns the building?

Chance: According to the deed.

Nick: Which means that he has had this plan in the works for quite a while. And that property is very close to the motel where he wants to meet up with sharon.

Sharon: So, what do you think? Is that where he’s keeping faith?

Daniel: So, you think

Daniel: So, you think my mother should go to jail?

Lily: I just think that it might benefit phyllis to have some time alone to face the consequences of her actions and realize how much she’s hurt the people she loves.

Daniel: You’ve seen the inside of a cell, but she could be looking at decades.

Lily: I know. I know that my experience was short, but it changed my life. It gave me a completely different perspective on things.

Daniel: Yeah, lily, but prison. I mean, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, much less my own mother.

Lily: I know, I know. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying it’s amazing, right? Like, obviously it’s hard. I mean, there were days that I wasn’t sure I was gonna make it through, but I did and I came out a better person for it.

Daniel: You were kind of an okay person before that.

Lily: Look. I know that my experience is the exception to the rule, okay? I know that not everyone comes out of prison saying, you know, “oh, that was amazing. I learned so much.” But I did. And you know what? It might be good for phyllis to get a different perspective on things. To see women who are facing struggles much harder than she is, right? Far harder than “I’m living in a town with somebody that I hate.”

[ Daniel sighing ]

Mariah: So, you wanna ask me for a favor. What kind?

Summer: Uh, I assume that kyle has vented to you about how upset he is with me.

Mariah: Mm-hmm. For the record, he was far more gracious than I would’ve been were I in his shoes.

Summer: That’s nice to hear that he’s not publicly trashing me, but I know that privately, he is livid.

Mariah: Are you about to ask me what I think?

Summer: I’m not gonna speculate what goes on in your head.

Mariah: I hope you’re not expecting me to take phyllis’ side in all of this because actually, I encouraged kyle to go to the police with everything that he knows, so.

Summer: No, I don’t– I don’t expect that. I just want to know if… if you’re on my side, mine and kyle’s as a couple.

Mariah: Ooh.

Summer: Mariah, do you still believe all of those loving and supportive things that you said at our vow renewal? Do you believe that we belong together?

Mariah: I see where you’re going with this. You want me to convince kyle to forgive you. Are you serious, summer? I mean, you’ve– you’ve gotta be kidding me. Are you willing to take accountability for any of your actions? That’s actually incredible impressive.

[ Summer exhaling ]

Summer: This was a mistake. I should not have tried to talk to you. Obviously, you’re never gonna see me any differently than how you always have.

Kyle: Thanks, audra.

Audra: For what? I don’t remember doing anything.

Kyle: For giving me something else to think about other than my own problems for a little while.

Audra: You certainly pulled a fast one. I have to admire that.

Kyle: How so?

Audra: Well, you got me talking about myself when I was trying to get you to do the same. Maybe next time.

Kyle: Maybe.

Audra: But, if I was able to cheer you up, even a little bit, I’ll consider the night a success.

Kyle: Well, then. Congratulations. Have a good rest of your night.

Audra: And you do the same.

Sharon: Right there. There’s a pile of tires. That’s where she is. He’s keeping her there. It’s the garage on birchwood.

Nick: Where’d you say you found that bag at cameron’s?

Chance: In his room, behind the sofa. Why? What are you thinking?

Nick: It’s too convenient. It’s too easy.

Sharon: Another trap?

Nick: It’s possible, but somebody does need to go to check this place out, just in case faith is there.

Chance: I’m on it. I’ll take a small team with me. You two need to stay put, okay? Do not go to that motel. It’s too dangerous and you don’t know what he has waiting in there for you. I sent that picture to myself. I’ll let you know what I find.

Sharon: Thanks, chance.

Nick: Yes. We appreciate everything we’re doing to find our girl.

Sharon: What if she’s not there?

Nick: And if you don’t show up like cameron demanded?

Sharon: We can’t take the chance that something happens to our daughter.

Nick: I agree.

Sharon: Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Nick: Oh, we’re going to that motel. To be this uny

Mariah: No. No, no, no. No, you’re not– you’re not gonna do that to me, okay? You’re not gonna turn this around on me and paint me to be this unyielding and stubborn person who doesn’t cut people a break. That’s not me.

Summer: Come on, mariah. You’ve been stubborn and unyielding since the day I met you.

Mariah: Summer, I will be the first person to admit that you have matured in a lot of ways. For one, you and kyle, you were both so happy before all of this. And for another, I really admire what an amazing mother you are to harrison.

Summer: Thanks for that.

Mariah: But as much as you’ve grown up, you’re still your mother’s daughter. You still have that same streak of selfish recklessness and I’m sorry, but I don’t know that you’re ever gonna be able to convince me that you are good enough for kyle.

Summer: Wow. You know, you really shouldn’t agree to officiate a vow renewal if you truly despite the bride that much.

Mariah: No, no, I didn’t say that. I don’t despise you, summer, and I was truly hoping that your marriage would work out.

Summer: What are you saying? That it’s not gonna work out? That my marriage is over?

Mariah: Summer, oh… my goodness. You really need to take a very hard look at what you have done. You have deceived kyle. You chose your mother over everyone else. You left his mother sitting in a jail cell. You’ve hurt them both so much.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: I guess I can forget that favor.

Mariah: Yeah, but I will– I will give you a different one.

Summer: What’s that?

Mariah: Advice. Just give kyle the time that he needs. After what you did, it is going to take a lot to earn his forgiveness, as it should be. And I don’t know if you will ever be able to earn his trust again. And you would have no one to blame for that but yourself.

[ Mariah sighing ]

Nick: We should head to the motel. If chance calls and says they have faith, then we’ll come right back home. But if not? We stick to our original plan. We go. Dad’s security team and I will be right behind you. Then, we go in there and we take cameron out and we bring our daughter home alive.

Sharon: We have to do this. We have no other choice, right?

Nick: No, we don’t, but I want you to take one more precaution. If you’re gonna face cameron alone, I don’t want you to go in there completely unarmed.

Summer: Hi. You’re home.

Nick: All right. This’ll work.

Sharon: A knife? Nick, I can’t meet cameron wielding that in my hand.

Nick: That’s why we’re gonna keep it hidden and tape it to your leg.

Sharon: My leg?

Nick: Yes, sharon. You need something to defend yourself with.

Sharon: You’re right. I guess I do need something in case he snaps and loses it again.

Nick: It’s not gonna come to that, all right? This is just a precaution. It’s a last resort. My dad’s security team and i will be there. He’s not gonna lay a finger on you. Have a seat. Now, hold that right there. All right. How’s that feel?

Sharon: FinE.

Nick: It’s not too uncomfortable?

Sharon: No, it’s fine. I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to get our baby back.

Daniel: I appreciate your opinion on the situation and with all due respect, I have taken everything you’ve said to heart, but whatever does happen, I really hope it doesn’t come down to prison for my mom or my sister.

Lily: Yeah, no, you’re… you’re right. You’re right. I mean, honestly, I– I actually hope so too. I just– maybe… maybe I was just rationalizing in case it does come to that.

Daniel: Mm. Sure. And if it does, you can always point back to this conversation and say, “ah, remember. There are advantages to being a prisoner.”

Lily: I’m really sorry.

Daniel: Don’t apologize. It’s actually kind of thoughtful, in a perverse sort of way.

Lily: Oh, god.

[ Daniel sighing heavily ] Is there anything I can do to help? Honestly, just name it.

Daniel: No. No. I’m at a loss trying to figure out what I can even do. It just feels like the whole situation is spiraling out of control. Today, I went to my brother-in-law to try and convince him to not to give up on summer, but even kyle wouldn’t listen to me, you know. Just… the whole situation just seems uncertain. For all of us.

Summer: You– you should’ve seen harrison tonight. He was so cute. I was reading him bumpy the camel and he kept on stopping me so that he could read it to me. He’s heard that story so many times, he knows it by heart.

Kyle: Sorry I missed that.

Summer: You know, that kind of memorization, it’s the first step to reading, so we should guide him in that direction. I could buy him so beginner reading books.

Kyle: That’s a good idea.

Summer: Kyle, I’ve been thinking a lot and I have a lot of things I wanna say. Could we talk now?

[ Kyle sighing ]

Kyle: Not tonight.

Nick: I believe in you.

Sharon: And I believe that you will be my back up and make sure that nothing happens.

Nick: Absolutely.

Sharon: Okay, I have to think about how I’m gonna handle him. Maybe I could just get him to tell me where faith is, but if he seems tense or angry, I’m just gonna remain calm and strong and try not to get emotional.

Nick: All right. I’m gonna run up to the main house and talk to dad and the security team. Just make sure they know they have to do everything as discreetly as possible. We’ll leave from the back service exit. Meet me behind the house in ten minutes.

[ Sharon sighing ]

Cameron: Hi, sharon.

[ Sharon gasping ]

Cameron: Everybody’s gone. It’s just you and me.

Recap written by Terry

Although there’s no official police statement that Faith has been kidnapped, a hysterical and horrified Sharon knows it in her heart. Chance, who is guarding Sharon, tries to give her some hope, but a colleague calls Chance with the news that Faith was not on the flight back to college. Sharon is completely devastated at the thought of Cameron having Faith and is unaware that Nick’s been arrested.

Nikki and Victor, who also don’t know about the kidnapping, talk about how to deal with Cameron, and also how to deal with Nate. Victoria’s idea of Nick taking a leave of absence because he’s in jail is unacceptable to Victor and Nikki. Nikki asks Victoria if she would give Nick’s job to Nate. Victoria says that if Nick left the company permanently, she would consider giving the Chief Operating Office job to Nate. Later, Victor witnesses Nate and Audra scheming about how Nick’s leave of absence could be an opening that Nate could take advantage of; Audra could then take Nate’s job at Newman media, which is her current goal. Nate and Audra raise their glasses to the plan while Victor looks on.

A furious Nick regretfully acknowledges to Micheal that the police arresting him is Cameron’s plan to get him out of the way so that Cameron can get to Sharon. Micheal says that Cameron anticipated Nick’s fury and used it against him when he stormed into Cameron’s hotel room and punched the wall. Michael reassures an imprisoned Nick that Sharon and Faith are safe, with so many people protecting them.

Phyllis contacts Summer and adamantly forbids her from doing anything else to get Phyllis back to town. She also urges Daniel to protect Summer. Summer informs Michael about her plan to get Phyllis back to town. Michael vehemently disagrees, but later acknowledges that the EMT could be a critical part of the puzzle. He thinks it’s a long shot to find him and get him to co-operate but that Summer should not act on her own. Summer appeals to Grandpa Victor to help her. Victor is hesitant, but agrees after Summer puts on her best pleading puppy dog eyes that he can’t refuse.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: I love september. Always have. Back to school, leaves on the trees changing, fire in the hearth.

Diane: And now, we’ll have another reason to adore autumn.

Jack: Our wedding.

Diane: Yes. But, do you think kyle and summer will have resolved their problems by then?

Jack: Well, they have managed to weather a number of challenges in the past and survived.

Diane: Yeah. Every hurt leaves a scar.

Jack: Yeah, but that scar tissue is sturdy stuff. It’ll make them stronger. It’ll make them champions. Don’t worry. Look, they– they’re not kids. They can solve their own problems. You and I have to focus on each other. I wanna lavish you with all the love you deserve.

Diane: Hmm. And tonight, you’re all mine all night.

Jack: Just us.

Diane: It’s a deal.

Jack: Oh, damn.

Billy: Hey, there. Just the woman I was looking for.

Chelsea: Ah. Well, if you’re looking for the confused, exhausted type. I’m your girl.

Billy: Well, I was just about to get myself something sweet. I’ll grab you an espresso. I’m looking forward to the movie night. Been looking forward to it all week. You’ll fall asleep on my shoulder and connor and i will keep it down.

Chelsea: Well, that’s the problem. Connor.

Billy: What is the problem?

Chelsea: He’s announced he’s not coming out of his room.

Billy: What?

Chelsea: Yeah. Not for a movie. Not for a trip around the world. Not even for the latest sneakers.

Billy: No movie?

[ Chelsea exhaling ]

Chelsea: No nothing.

Sally: Actually, I’m not.

Adam: I was, uh, talking to the other lady in the room. Wait ’til you see what I’ve got for you. Your old dad’s here to expand your palate. But in order for you to taste the world, you need to eat.

Sally: [ Grunts ] How can I? Nick was just arrested for assaulting that maniac.

Adam: Wha– cameron? Uh, well, that tracks.

Sally: Wait, you’re not surprised?

Adam: Uh, nick can be a punch first, ask questions when you get around to it kinda guy. But you know that already.

Sally: What do I know?

Adam: The whole story. What happened with ashland. And the news article you refused to run in newman media’s publication.

Sally: Well, yeah, I know that.

Adam: Yeah. I’m just saying that nick can be his own worst enemy, even when when there’s a hint of danger surrounding someone he loves, he can take it to an extreme.

Sharon: You promised me that faith would be safe. You swore to me!

Chance: We are doing everything that we can to find her, sharon. I promise.

Sharon: Great. Call me when you find something.

Chance: Whoa! Whoa! Where are you going? Where are you going? Stop. Stop.

Sharon: To find my child!

Chance: We have people out there doing their jobs. Let them do their jobs.

Sharon: No, I have to go. I have to go. I have to go.

Chance: Listen to me. Listen to me, before you go. I cannot imagine how terrified you are right now. And yes, faith does need you, but she needs you to be smart.

Sharon: I know. I know. I am. I am.

Chance: Okay, take a breath. All right? Think about this. What happens if you run out there without a clue what’s going on and no backup?

Sharon: I put myself in danger.

Chance: Let me do my job. Okay? Trust me.

[ Door opens ]

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: I just made bail. What’s going on?

Sharon: It’s faith. He took her. He took our baby.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Nick: How’d he get his hands on her?

Chance: Look, I know you’re upset but I have no idea.

Nick: Tell me what happened.

Chance: We are trying to piece this together still, man.

Nick: I told you from the beginning, these battery charges were a setup. He knew I would die before I would ever allow him to touch a hair on faith’s head.

Sharon: Nick, it doesn’t matter! We have to find her now!

Nick: How did he even know where she would be?

Chance: I mean, he’s gotta have someone on the inside.

Nick: You think my family had something to do with this?

Chance: Who had access to that information? Who knew she was on that flight?

Sharon: No one. I booked that flight myself today. No one on the outside knew anything about it.

Nick: It was cameron. He was here. He poisoned the cat.

Sharon: You said that he never came into this house, but that cat, remember, never went outside. It was in here the whole time until faith found him dead on the doorstep.

Nick: I know what you did! You hear me? I know what you did. You had me set up so you can grab my kid because you’re not man enough to come out here and face me! So you hurt a defenseless kid and hurt her cat. I will find you. Do you hear me? I’m going to find you! And when I do, there’s not gonna be enough left of you for the cops to arrest. Do you hear me? Are you still listening?

Sharon: Oh, my god. You wanted my attention. You got it. You bring my daughter home, you bastard. You bring her back home!

Jack: Champagne’s on us. Enjoy.

Diane: Yes. We should toast to true love. The kind that never dies.

Ashley: Ugh. So morbid. Sounds like a rotting corpse dragging itself out of the cemetery. You know what I mean?

Diane: No. No. And no one ever does. And yet everyone continues to listen to your opinions.

Tucker: Ugh. How about we switch to a fun little rose from 2000? It’s a little bouncy for my taste, but can’t have everything.

Jack: Some of us can.

Diane: Yeah.

Ashley: I think that’s a great idea, honey. So, we haven’t decided what to toast to.

Tucker: Righting old wrongs.

Jack: Wow. There’s a cherry toast. How about rekindling old flames?

[ Ashley laughing ]

Diane: Hmm.

Ashley: Oh!

Jack: What? What’s so amusing?

Ashley: Oh, well, kinda reminds me when diane burnt down the pool house.

[ Chuckling ] Seriously, she did that to trap a man. I mean, who does that? Well, diane does because she’ll do anything to get what she wants. Right, jack?

Jack: Why would you bring–

Diane: No, no, no. Let’s not let anything spoil our celebration. To the abundance of love that’s found its way into the abbott family. May we all be so lucky.

Jack: Oh, I like that.

Diane: Hmm.

Sally: This is an entirely different case than what went down with ashland.

Adam: Show your work.

Sally: Well, he protected his sister from a mad man.

Adam: He protected sharon from a lunatic.

Sally: Who shouldn’t even be out on the streets after all of the crimes he’s committed. And ashland fell. That was an accident.

Adam: And after a round in the ring with nick, what befell cameron was probably a left hook.

Sally: Is this a conversation you really wanna be having with a woman whose borderline pre-eclampsia?

Adam: It is all part of the plan to get you to expose and expunge those sticky feelings so we can get to the candy coated core. Lighthearted topics. Eating, for instance.

Sally: I’m still not hungry.

Adam: Okay. Okay. Then we will simply sit here in silence. No, that’s too awkward. Um, we could, let’s see. Let’s see. Ooh, we could listen to an audiobook.

Sally: Oh, that’s fun.

Adam: Well, not me and you. Me and the kid. Ah-ha! Sun tzu’s art of war or machiavelli’s the prince.

Sally: Wow.

Adam: Well, she’s gotta learn somehow. I want our girl to be ready like a warrior.

Sally: Well, she’s ours, so she has no choice.

Adam: Grow up watching her old man work day and night to build mccall from bones to something valuable.

Sally: Why are you working so hard? It’s not like you have to prove anything to yourself or anyone else.

Adam: Well, I’m doing it all for the love of a girl who potentially could be the greatest love of my life.

Sally: Adam–

Adam: Some as of yet, unnamed beauty, who has a mind for business and a heart as big as a kansas cornfield.

Sally: So what’s the plan? Polish mccall until it sparkles, and then you pass it along to connor and the unnamed beauty?

Adam: Ooh, this is the best part. Is once I make it a contender again, I’m gonna take back what’s mine. Newman media.

Sharon: He was here. He found a way into my home. Took my daughter. He took my sense of security. He knows our plans. He knows our fears. And– and we thought we were being so careful.

Chance: With a guy like this it doesn’t matter how cautious you are. He’s probably been planning this for a long time now.

Sharon: He knows what we’re doing. He knows why. And– and we have no information. We still have no idea what he wants.

Nick: I know what he wants. He told me when I confronted him at the athletic club.

Chance: What’d he say?

Nick: He wants sharon. He thinks that he and her belong together and that he’s gonna make her fall in love with him again.

Sharon: I was never in love with him! He is deranged, okay?

Nick: But if he wants sharon–

Chance: He took faith as leverage.

Nick: She’s the bait.

Chance: To get you to him.

[ Chance sighing ] Dispatch. Yeah. Make sure we got cars in between here and the airport, okay? Thank you. All right. I issued an apb on officer swift’s vehicle and a bolo on cameron. We’ll see what that does.

Sharon: Where could he be keeping her? Where is he keeping her?

Chance: Well, if he wants you, he knows he has to be close, right? I mean, he’s still gotta be in the area.

Nick: What should we do?

Chance: Stay put. He’s gonna try to contact you and set up a time and a place to meet, okay?

Sharon: Okay. Where will you be?

Chance: I’m gonna leave some guys on the property, but I wanna go check out his room at the athletic club, see if he left anything behind that might tell us where he is now or what he’s gonna do next.

Sharon: Chance, please find our faith. Find her.

[ Sharon sobbing ] (Wheezing)

Tucker: I don’t know. What do you think of this rose?

Ashley: Oh, it’s delightful, honey.

Tucker: All right. Maybe we should serve it at the wedding.

Diane: Don’t stop there. Why don’t you buy the vineyard, become vintners and move far, far away?

Ashley: Oh, we can’t do that. We love genoa city too much, don’t we?

Tucker: Yeah.

Ashley: We love it here. Could never move. Although, we could probably do some modifications on the house.

Jack: Wait, my house?

Ashley: Our house. Because sometimes it’s a little inconvenient to run into certain people when you just wanna grab a quick snack from the kitchen.

Diane: Certain people?

Ashley: Yeah. I don’t wanna point fingers, but–

Diane: Yeah. Well, what do you propose we do about it? What? Build a wall down the center of the house?

Ashley: How stupid is that building a wall? Come on. No. I mean, a fence would do perfectly fine.

Tucker: Yes.

Jack: Don’t be absurd.

Tucker: No. An electric fence.

Ashley: Right.

Tucker: You know what though? The increase in the utility bill makes it impractical.

Ashley: We can’t afford that.

Diane: When will you two stop acting so childish?

Ashley: Oh, maybe when your bus leaves the station out of town.

Jack: Could we just have one evening that doesn’t involve sniping and bickering?

Both: She started it.

Jack: Well, apparently not.

Diane: How can you say this started with me? You’re the one who moved tucker into the house. You’re– you’re the one who started this asinine wedding charade.

Ashley: Why is my wedding asinine and yours is perfectly normal?

Diane: Because you’re about to marry that ass.

Tucker: Wow. Are you gonna let her talk to me like that?

Ashley: Well, she’s not really talking to you. She’s talking about you. And no, I’m not. You know, I could throw this perfectly beautiful glass of rose in your face, but that would be a waste of a very expensive glass. But still I’m somehow tempted to maybe just–

Tucker: Can we get a less expensive rose?

Diane: Oh, really, ashley? I dare you. I dare you.

Ashley: You dare me?

Jack: Calm down!

Abby: What fresh hell is this?

Chelsea: I left a message for sharon. She still hasn’t gotten back to me.

Billy: Well, devil’s advocate, kids go through things. We know that.

Chelsea: Yeah. This just feels different, billy. What if it’s the start of something hereditary, that connor’s gonna have to struggle with his entire life?

Billy: That’s possible, okay? That– that could be true, but we don’t know yet. Okay? So one step at a time. Yeah? I’ll go talk to him.

Chelsea: Oh. Uh, just, uh, I don’t know if that’s a good idea.

Billy: Hmm. I can handle a moody teenager. I was one not that long ago.

Chelsea: Hmm… it’s kinda long ago.

Billy: Okay. Watch yourself. Uh, look, we get along well. Let me go talk to him. And who knows? This might be about some girl he doesn’t wanna talk to his mom about.

Chelsea: That kid would talk to me.

Billy: Let me go upstairs. See what I can do.

Chelsea: You’re quite confident.

Billy: I got this.

Chelsea: Good luck.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Nick: I should have been there. I should have been with faith.

Sharon: Nick, you can not blame yourself.

Nick: I should have driven her to the airport.

Sharon: Well, then he would’ve gotten both of you. Or waited until she was alone someplace else and taken her then. This is not your fault, okay? She had a police escort and that maniac still managed to take her.

Nick: I cannot stop thinking about how bad I’m gonna hurt this guy.

Sharon: All right. Well, we need to focus on the problem. We need to wait for a phone call or some other kind of communication from him.

[ Nick sighing ]

[ Nick sighing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Sally: Nick, are you all right?

Nick: Better now that I get to hear your voice.

Sally: It’s really sweet of you to say. Please tell me everything. What’s going on?

Nick: Well, I got outta jail, so things are working themselves out.

Sally: Are you being vague for medical reasons?

Nick: What do you mean?

Sally: It’s like there’s something going on and you don’t wanna tell me. Look, I’m– I’m fine. I’m– I am serenity itself.

Nick: Well, I intend to keep it that way.

Sally: Do you know why I was so good at newman media? Because I suffer from fomo. Chronic fear of missing out. I need to know things.

Nick: Well, you’re gonna have to get used to taking a backseat for the next few months. Listen, can you do me a favor? Can you put adam on the phone? I need to talk to him and promise me that you’re gonna take care of yourself until I get there and do it for you.

Sally: I can’t wait. And same to you.

[ Sally sighing ] And for the record, I hate being left in the dark.

Adam: Anyone that’s spent 20 seconds with you will know that. Before you ask, she’s fine. I’ll make sure she eats her veggies. How are things?

Nick: Is this on speaker phone?

Adam: Of course not.

Nick: All right. I need you to pretend like you’re not hearing bad news and definitely keep this to yourself.

Adam: I can do that.

Nick: Cameron has faith. He took my little girl.

Adam: I see. Um, what now?

Nick: I’mma take care of this. That’s what’s now.

Adam: Well, don’t worry about sally. I will take care of her, um, while you handle that issue.

Nick: Thank you.

Adam: Mm-hmm. What are brothers for? Do what you have to do.

Nick: Oh, I will. Count on that.

Diane: You have been attacking me since I came back to genoa city.

Ashley: Who asked you to come back, diane?

Abby: Okay. Wait, wait. Stop. Just stop whatever this is.

Jack: Hey. Look who’s here.

Diane: Hi, honey.

Tucker: Just in time

Abby: For what? World war iii?

Jack: Actually, we were celebrating.

Abby: Oh, is that what you call this? Because it looks like you were trying to resolve this great wedding conflict by attempting to smash each other’s heads in.

Diane: Oh, no. There’s no conflict. Your uncle jack and I were just mulling over the idea of a september wedding.

Ashley: [ Fake coughing ] Oh, no, not september.

Tucker: Yeah, we had our eyes set on august.

Ashley: Yeah. ‘Cause we just, we can’t wait.

Jack: Please put an end to this ruse. You could save face and walk away from the whole thing.

Abby: I think what uncle jack is trying to say is that august just seems so soon.

Tucker: Well, I would marry her tomorrow if she’d have me.

Ashley: Isn’t it tremendous news, jackie? I mean, really, isn’t it? We have a couple months here of just, oh, it’s just gonna be filled with planning and fittings and all the excitement that goes into new beginnings.

Tucker: Oh, I can’t wait.

Ashley: Yeah. Me neither. I can’t wait. I mean, really it’s more than just a wedding though, don’t you think tucker? It’s more of like a wedding experience.

Tucker: Experience.

Ashley: Yeah. And I think– I mean, I hope that the people on your guest list aren’t wedding-ed out after all the events that we have planned. I mean, it’s truly an extravaganza.

Tucker: Extravaganza. Truly.

Diane: Jack, why don’t we find a table closer to the music?

Jack: Excellent idea.

Ashley: Bye.

Abby: You’re children, you know that, right? Worse than children.

Billy: It could have gone better. At least, now I know my sense of humor works better on his mother.

Chelsea: What happened?

Billy: Well, um, I did my best and, uh, he wasn’t really having it. He used homework as an excuse, asked me to shut the door while I was on the other side of it. But he was very polite about it.

Chelsea: What do you think this is?

Billy: I don’t know.

Chelsea: I don’t think this is just the usual dark cloud that’s gonna blow over. I really don’T. I mean, why would it? Between my genetics and adam’s weird self-loathing, me against the world thing, I mean, it’s no wonder this kid wants to lock himself in his bedroom.

Billy: Okay. I’ve known you for a long time. You’ve been many things, but licensed physician, not one.

Chelsea: I’m his mom.

Billy: I know. I get it. And as a parent, you think you know all the right answers. Best thing you can do is love him, continue to support him, and know that sometimes, a professional is the best person to ask about stuff like this.

Chelsea: Yeah, you’re right. You’re right. I’m just gonna tell him, “listen, if you, you know, sprained your ankle, you’d go see a doctor. Depending on your unique genetic makeup, some of us are more prone to sprained ankles than the rest of the world.”

Billy: Look, the best thing he can do to take care of himself is allow the people that love him to help him.

Chelsea: And if sharon can’t help, I will find someone who can.

Billy: Sounds like a plan.

Sharon: You know, when faith was born, they told me she didn’t make it. That never felt right to me. Sometimes, I could feel her out there, like my missing part needing me.

Nick: Then, she was in your arms like cassie predicted.

Sharon: Someone’s been looking out for her. She has a guardian angel.

Nick: She does. Everything about that girl is a miracle

Sharon: From the very beginning. And that’s not gonna end now. Type 2 diabetes?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Adam: Well, look who, uh, had an appetite after all?

Sally: Oh, it was so good. Where’s it from?

Adam: What?

Sally: Where’s it from? Where’s it from?

Adam: I’m not telling. Don’t look at the address on the receipt. Okay? Guy’s gotta keep a secret. What if I go in there one night and you’ve made it yours and nick’s new favorite spot?

Sally: Well, it was delicious.

Adam: That’s what new york tastes like to me. Stumbling home after a late night, passing all the closed shops and empty taxis, having a grilled cheese while the city comes alive again.

Sally: The grilled cheese is perfect. And that story was distracting in all the right ways. And it’s a good thing that you like late nights and early mornings because I have news. This one is a free spirit.

Adam: Well, I am glad to entertain.

Sally: Just which stomach churning event are you distracting me from? My blood pressure and the baby, or this thing with the guy from nick and sharon’s past and just how serious is it?

Nick: Yes, faith is a miracle. You know what else she is? She’s your daughter. That means she’s a fighter and a survivor. Wherever she is, she’s gonna be okay. She’s gonna come back to us.

Sharon: She still has so much she needs to experience, nick.

Nick: I know that. And she knows she has two parents who will move heaven and earth to bring her back home. Our daughter is made of steel. Do not shed a tear for her. If anything, you feel pity for the bastard who made the mistake of messing with our girl.

Sharon: I wish I had a slice of her strength right now.

Nick: Sharon, that is what’s keeping her going. She knows that she is front and center in your mind. That connection that you have, that love that you have is so strong and real. I need you to dig deep and access that part of your connection. That is what is going to keep her alive.

Sharon: Yeah?

Nick: Yes. We need the sharon that kicked cancer’s ass. That helped our daughter through that terrible car accident and got her through rehab and the kidney transplant.

Sharon: She was so brave then.

Nick: Then and now. We need the mom who studied day and night to get that degree. One I know she sometimes feels like she’s not using. But sharon, it is time for you to do the most important thing you’ve done in a long time. Find our little girl. Get inside his head.

Sharon: I can’t, nick.

Nick: Yes, you can. Yes, you can. You can do this. You know how he thinks. Just take yourself out of the picture, all right? This is just another case study in one of your textbooks. It is suspect versus survivor. Tell me what he’s gonna do next.

Sharon: He’ll play mind games. He’ll try to get inside of her head and get her to believe his lies. That’s what he did with me and he will try the same with her. We’ve gotta find her, nick, before it’s too late.

Jack: I am so sorry. You do not deserve any of this abuse that ashley is heaping on you.

Diane: Oh, your sister doesn’t scare me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go to the ladies. Be right back.

Abby: Uncle jack, what’s going on?

Jack: What’s going on? I am in love about to marry the woman I am meant for. Everything else–

Abby: Could be devastating.

Jack: Okay, abby, what is it you wanna say?

Abby: What is going on with my mom’s behavior? It’s crazy. I mean, she’s saying she’s doing all of this because she’s trying to protect you and jabot from diane’s diabolical designs, but doesn’t it bother you?

Jack: Tell me this. Do you think your mother really wants to expel me from jabot or she just wants me to think that’s what she’s doing?

Abby: Either way, all of this is troublesome. I mean, arguing in public, all of it.

Jack: Well, I’m a man in love. What trouble is it to me? Tucker is exploiting your mother. He’s taking advantage of her. He’s manipulating her. Whether he’s doing it for fun or for profit, I don’t know. But he’s the one who needs the talking to.

Abby: You think so too?

Jack: Oh, if there is some master plan to take over at jabot, tucker is the engineer. And any talk that your mother is making this move to protect the company from diane, that is garbage. This is a power grab. Pure and simple.

Abby: Uncle jack, I–

Jack: It breaks my heart that she is even considering it, but I am unruffled because even if tucker, god forbid marries her, he will never get his hands on jabot. I told myself I was ok with my moderate

Adam: I am not certain I understand your question. Are you asking me if nick and sharon past is a threat or the guy from their past is a threat to you?

Sally: Okay, now I’m confused. Although that’s probably what you were going for, wasn’t it? Look, just answer me this one question. Should I be worried about nick and sharon’s past?

Adam: No.

Sally: Should I be worried about the guy?

Adam: That’s two questions.

Sally: Okay. Adam, look, what are you saying?

Adam: You are not supposed to be worried about anything right now. You know nick would never let anything happen to you.

Sally: There’s something you’re not telling me, I know it. But I am more tired than curious, so I’m just gonna go rest my eyes.

Adam: I support that wholeheartedly. Here, let me help get in there. All cozy and calm while you dream of– of– where is your happy place these days?

Sally: Oh, well, going over color palettes for the job at chancellor-winters.

Adam: You know, the idea is to relax, keep your blood pressure low.

Sally: Is your happy place on a beach, on an island? Or is it taking your private elevator up to the top floor of your building, saying, “good morning, to your assistant and sitting behind your custom made desk?

Adam: You got a point. Go wherever you’re happy. But you have to do it from this room and this bed.

Sally: Mm, wild horses could not drag me away.

Adam: Good. Because I would lose my job.

Sally: Well, you always have mccall.

Adam: Hmm. Oh, that’s just a shiny toy that’s, um, nowhere near what I really want.

Sally: And what is it that you really want?

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: Everything.

Sally: Adam, wait, can you do me a favor?

Adam: Anything.

Sally: Will you wake me when nick calls?

Adam: I promise.

Billy: Look, I know this is tough. No parent wants to see their kids struggle, whether it’s a math equation or emotions.

Chelsea: If this were algebra, I’d just hire a tutor.

Billy: There’s no shame in getting help. We know that. And connor is a bright, smart, funny kid. He loves life and he adores his mother. He’s just got some things swirling around in his head right now and it’s clouding his vision. And we’ll do everything we can to make sure that he gets clearheaded again.

Chelsea: Back to the real connor.

Billy: Exactly.

Chelsea: Date night for single parents is supposed to be a lot more fun than this. I promise I’ll make it up to you.

Billy: Any night I get with you is as good as it gets.

[ Abby sighing ]

Abby: Are you so bored now that you don’t have your own company to run that your new hobby is sowing discord?

Tucker: No, abby, the only thing that would leave me bereft is if I were to lose your mother.

Abby: What do you want from diane and uncle jack?

[ Tucker sighing ]

Tucker: Peace. Sincerely. I was hoping to find our own little corner of the world and start something new with your mom.

Abby: Or that could just be something you’re saying to cover your true motives. Do you really think my mom would start over again with you? Of course not. She’s not gonna walk away from her family’s business and you know that. This is just putting you in the perfect position to snatch jabot and make it seem like my mom’s idea.

Tucker: I see. The real thing is that you just don’t trust me.

Abby: No, I don’T.

Tucker: Okay. I’m gonna make her happy, abby.

Abby: You’re gonna break her heart. You always do.

Tucker: You know, abby, I sure hope you’re not teaching that grandson of mine that people can’t change. Hey.

Ashley: Uh-oh. What did I miss?

Abby: Oh, nothing. You know, just a round of getting to know your mom’s former and future husband.

Ashley: Who’s winning?

Abby: I’m not sure yet.

[ Abby scoffing ] I’m gonna pull over and stretch my legs.

AbbO.

Abby: Well, I– I have to go. I have a beautiful little boy to rush home to.

Ashley: Okay.

Jack: Family.

Diane: Where would we be without them?

Ashley: I can think of a few places you’d fit right in.

Abby: Okay. Stop.

Ashley: Sorry.

Abby: Seriously? You’re adults. Act your age. Respect the people around you. Now I am gonna go cuddle the most handsome man in town and I will see you guys later.

Jack: Bye, abby.

Diane: Bye.

Ashley: Very good. Um, I think maybe I wanna go cuddle the handsomest man in town too.

Diane: I think that’s the next thing on my to-do list.

Jack: I think we should get started on that. Do you think we could do what abby asked? Act our age and show a little respect toward each other.

Ashley: Anyway, let’s go.

[ Phone pinging ]

Sharon: No!

Nick: Sharon?

Sharon: No!

Nick: What is it?

Sharon: [ Sobbing ] My baby. Oh, my god, my baby. How could he do this to me? How could he do this?

Nick: When I get my hands on him–

[ Phone pinging ]

Sharon: What? What is it now?

Nick: “Join me where our old love died and a new love can be born. Come alone. Same motel, same room. Some things you can never forget.”

Sharon: It’s the motel room. The motel room where I killed him. I thought I killed him all those years ago, nick. Oh, my god! Oh, my god!

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Daniel: I understand how urgent this is, but there is a right way and a wrong way to clear mom.

Summer: Okay. What would be so wrong with finding a witness that saw the whole thing?

Daniel: It’s a fake witness. One who could make matters worse 20 different ways.

Summer: What about my idea to find, um, the emt? Carson. He– he saw what stark did.

Daniel: He’s also a fugitive. He was a part of the plot. He’s not a credible witness. He’d be lying under oath, which means he’d be tacking another felony onto his record. Look, say that you did, by some miracle, convince this guy to do what you’re asking for some huge sum of money. Carson would hold that over your head for the rest of your life. He’d continue to extort you. You’d never be rid of him. Not to mention the fact that he might invent details that– that contradict mom’s story. I just think that the whole plan isn’t realistic.

Summer: Okay. You’re just throwing out worst case scenarios. This actually could work.

Daniel: Summer.

Summer: No, we need to find carson. We need to at least talk to him. All he has to do is tell the police that he saw mom act in self-defense.

Daniel: Oh, that’s all he has to do, huh?

Summer: Stark paid him to be an accomplice, so clearly, he can be bought. So, what, I– I find him, I give him a big bag of money and he says what I want him to say.

[ Daniel scoffs, sighs ]

Victor: I don’t care how damn busy you are. I wanna know what judge is responsible for today’s arraignments. Exactly. Get back to me. All right? Don’t give me a– what? Get to it.

Nikki: How is that going?

[ Victor groans in frustration ]

Victor: All I know is that I want our son out of that jail cell. He doesn’t belong there.

Nikki: As soon as cameron showed up in town, I think everybody expected this. I mean, there was bound to be a showdown.

Victor: Of course there was bound to be a showdown. Question is how to resolve it.

Nikki: I think we need to let michael do what he does best. He will get nicholas out as soon as possible. In the meantime, have there been any cameron sightings?

Victor: Uh-uh. And if that punk knows what’s good for him, he won’t show up anywhere near this house or our family.

Nikki: We’ve done what we can. Michael will keep us updated. So, in the meantime, why don’t we focus on our work and let him focus on his?

Victor: I know you’re trying to distract me. Good idea, too. There’s some business I want to discuss with you.

Nikki: Oh, the anderson deal. I have it right here.

Victor: No. I wanna talk to you about nate hastings. How’s he doing?

Nikki: You mean since he has started seeing victoria?

Victor: No, overall.

Nikki: I have to say, very well. He has made good decisions for newman media.

Victor: Good to know.

Nikki: I understand you’ve taken him under your wing.

Nate: My day was productive. Yours?

Victoria: Mine was… it was extremely productive.

Nate: Really?

Victoria: Yeah.

Nate: Why do you suppose that is?

Victoria: I don’t know. For some odd reason, I was just filled with energy.

Nate: Mm.

Victoria: Maybe it was that private meeting that we squeezed in before we went to the office.

Nate: Oh, you mean upstairs in the newman corporate suite?

[ Laughing ] You know, come to think of it, I was pretty invigorated myself afterward.

Victoria: I think we got a lot accomplished upstairs.

Nate: An amazing amount.

Victoria: We you usually do, though.

[ Nate chuckling ]

[ Phone chiming ]

Victoria: Oh, I’m sorry. I meant to turn my phone off.

Nate: No, go ahead. It’s fine.

Victoria: Sure?

Nate: Problem?

Victoria: Oh, my– my brother got arrested.

Nate: Oh, boy. What’s adam done now?

Victoria: No, not– not adam. Nicholas.

Nate: Are you serious?

Victoria: Yeah. Look, sadly we’re gonna have to cut this short. Excuse me. Can I please get the check?

Faith: I don’t understand how this can happen. That cameron kirsten freak is a criminal who killed a cat and dad is sitting in jail?

Sharon: Michael is a very sharp attorney. He will get your father out of there and out of trouble. Though it may take some time.

Faith: How much time? I never would’ve agreed to leave town if I’d known that you’d be alone.

[ Knocking on door ]

Chance: It’s chance.

Faith: How could you arrest my father?

Michael: Hey. How you doing? You hanging in there?

Nick: How do you think I’m doing? Kirsten is lying. These charges are a joke. It’s a setup to get me out of the way so I can’t protect sharon and faith. He’s obviously planning something, which means you have to get me out here now!

Michael: I appreciate the urgency, but you’re not gonna be arraigned ’til later today. And frankly, seeing how wound up you are right now, this might be the safest place for you. When migraine strikes, you’re faced with a choice.

Additional sponsorship provided by…

Daniel: Summer, we are not paying someone to lie to the authorities.

Summer: I still say–

Daniel: No, no, no, no, no. Look, we have broken enough laws already trying to help mom. Let’s not add any more to the list. People have gone to prison for a lot less. You wind up in a cell, how are you gonna help mom do anything?

Summer: I’m just thinking how mom would think. This is how she would approach things.

Daniel: Yeah? How’s that working out for her? She has screwed up her life beyond recognition. I mean, even she would tell you not to do this. It’s– it’s– it’s crazy, one, and it wouldn’t work.

Summer: You know what? If that’s your attitude, fine. I don’t need your help.

Nick: What do you mean you think it’s safer for me in here? Are you kidding me?

Michael: Nick! Nick, I am on your side.

Nick: Are you sure about that, michael?

Michael: I know exactly what I’m dealing with. All right? If you’ll recall, I was the first to hear about cameron, how vicious he is. Years ago, sharon told me what happened in denver before she admitted it to anyone else. The man is a disgusting pig, but he’s not stupid. In fact, he’s got you all figured out. You didn’t even touch him, and where are you? In jail. Out of commission. Because cameron anticipated that you’d come for him and he used it like a judo move against you. Pretty damn elegant if you ask me. Now, you are gonna stay in here for an hour or so and calm down while we wait for your arraignment. In the meantime, chance is with sharon, looking out for her. I mean, her own private special forces expert. I’ll even check on her, too, on my way.

Nick: Just make sure that sharon is safe and you keep cameron kirsten away from faith.

Michael: I give you my word. Between chance and me and victor’s security team, there’s gonna be a whole lot of people watching over them.

Nick: And I’m grateful for that, believe me. But I’m afraid that cameron is planning something, and once he puts it in motion, there may be no stopping it.

Chance: Cameron kirsten filed a complaint against your father. His face was beaten. And nick did admit to going to his hotel room, and his hands were bruised, so I had to follow the law.

Faith: Dad punched the wall. It is his word against cameron’S.

Chance: Well, the truth has a way of coming out in court.

Faith: Well, it needs to come out now. Dad shouldn’t be in jail. He shouldn’t have to deal with any of this. And he should be here with mom.

Chance: I understand that this guy is a creep, and that’s why I’m here. Since nick can’t be with you, I’m here to protect you.

Sharon: You are such a wonderful young woman. And I promise you, we will all be together again soon. But if you’re going to catch your flight, you better scoot.

Chance: I have a plainclothes officer outside in an unmarked car. His name’s officer swift. He’s gonna drive you to the airport and escort you to the gate. I’m gonna stay here with your mother so all bases are covered.

Faith: I hate leaving you with this guy in town.

Sharon: I am not afraid of him. And I do not want you worrying about me. You text me from your seat before you take off. Promise me.

Faith: I will.

Sharon: All right. Give me a hug. Okay. Remember to drink water. Stay hydrated. Those planes are very dry.

Faith: [ Chuckling ] Okay. Hydrate. Got it.

Chance: Come on. I’ll walk you out.

[ Kissing ]

Faith: I love you. Bye.

Sharon: I love you. Safe flighT. And we’re done.

Sharon: I really appreciate you coming by. But shouldn’t you be out there looking for cameron?

Chance: Well, I got my team and victor’s guys on high alert. I’m gonna stay put, if that’s okay? I’m sure as hell not gonna leave you here alone. Plus i told nick I’d look after you. So, just feel free to ignore me and go back to business.

Sharon: Well, I can’t just putter around you like you’re the furniture.

Chance: Ah, sure you can. I’ll blend right in. You’ll be mistaking me for an old ottoman in no time.

Sharon: [ Laughing ] Somehow I doubt that.

Chance: It’s nice to hear you laugh again.

Sharon: Well… you’re a positive influence. And not just on me. I appreciate you being so reassuring with faith. These past few days have been tough on her.

Chance: Yeah, she’s a good kid.

Sharon: Now that she’s off to college, the time I have with her is really precious. You know, a few short years from now she’ll be graduated and off on her own, and– and then I’m really gonna miss her.

Chance: Well, I can tell how much you two love each other. I doubt she’ll end up very far away from home.

Sharon: I hope not. Having to send her away like this is agonizing. It’s one of the reasons why I’m so angry with cameron. You know, I want this house to be a haven for faith.

Chance: Yeah, I understand that. I kinda wanted something similar at my place for dominic. Didn’t really work out for me.

Sharon: Well, it’s tough when you’re trying to keep your kids safe.

[ Knocking ]

Chance: It’s okay.

[ Phone ringing ]

Summer: Mom.

Phyllis: Hey, I’m glad you picked up.

Summer: I’m glad that we got you out of there when we did. Kyle brought chance straight to your room.

Phyllis: Yeah, that was a good call. I’m sure they’re still looking for me.

Summer: Yeah. Everybody wants to know where you’re hiding and they think that I’m keeping the secret.

Phyllis: Well, that’s why I’m not letting you know. Not that I can’t trust you.

Summer: It’s my own fault that kyle found you in the first place and I– I’m gonna make it up to you.

Phyllis: What? You have nothing to make up. Are you kidding me?

Summer: No, I’m gonna– I’m gonna find that emt that was in on the plan with you and stark– carson. I’m gonna find him and I’m gonna make him go to the police and say that he saw stark attack you and that you had to defend yourself.

Phyllis: No, you are absolutely not going to do that, summer.

Summer: Mom–

Phyllis: No, I mean it, summer. If anyone’s gonna find the emt, it’s gonna be me. You got it? He broke so many laws. I’m sure he’s very far from genoa city right now.

Summer: But… if I paid him enough–

Phyllis: Summer, I mean it. No! I’m gonna take care of this on my own now. Okay? I’m gonna come up with a plan. Please trust me. I don’t wanna pull you and daniel into any of this mess anymore. What I want you to do is go to kyle and work on your relationship. Fix it. Okay?

Summer: I don’t even know if that’s possible.

Phyllis: Anything is possible. Go try. All right, super girl? Listen, I have so much to make up for. I can’t have your marriage on my conscience.

Victoria: Hi. So–

Nikki: Hi, guys.

Victor: Oh, hey.

Victoria: What’s the latest? Is nick okay? I’m assuming that cameron is behind this.

Nikki: Yeah. Who else? As far as we have heard–

Victor: Your brother is being arraigned momentarily. Michael baldwin will call as soon as he’s finished with the hearing.

Nikki: We’re confident he’ll be released on bail.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] As usual, nick couldn’t help himself. He had to take matters into his own hands. You know this isn’t gonna reflect well for the company.

Victor: Nicholas denies he attacked the man.

Nikki: You know, that is such classic cameron. It’s all based on his twisted vendetta against your brother and sharon.

Victoria: I don’t doubt that’s an element. But we all know how aggressive nick can be when he’s protecting the people that he loves.

Victor: And if you recall, that helped you a great deal, didn’t it? Anyway, michael baldwin will, I’m sure, solve the problem. He owes me one.

Nikki: I trust him implicitly.

Nate: Michael is one of the best.

Victoria: On a personal note, I sympathize. Cameron is a horrible excuse for a human being. But as ceo, I have to be practical. Nick and sharon helped to put him away for murder. All it’s gonna take is a reporter with an ax to grind, to connect the dots in other areas. And that, dad, is the last kind of publicity that we need.

Victor: What are you talking about?

Victoria: Until this conflict is resolved and he clears his name, I’m gonna ask nick to take a leave of absence. Ladies…

Nikki: A leave of absence?

Victor: What are you talking about?

Nate: Uh, clearly this is a family matter, so I’ll excuse myself, if you don’t mind.

Victor: Thank you, nate.

Nate: I’ll talk to you later.

Victoria: Yeah.

[ Nate clearing throat ] Nick has one priority right now: Protecting his family.

Victor: As he protected you from ashland locke.

Victoria: Exactly. We don’t wanna draw attention to nick taking the law into his own hands. It’s the right solution for both him and for the company.

Victor: Sweetheart, it isn’t your call to make.

Victoria: Well, what do you think, mom? How do you feel about nick trying to deal with work while getting himself out of this legal trouble, while protecting faith and sharon at the same time?

Nikki: I agree with your father. I mean, yes, he needs to focus on his family, keep them safe. I’m happy to cover for him, but I don’t think we should call it a formal leave of absence. That would just raise more questions.

Victor: Just personal time off. End of story. No one else’s business.

Victoria: Okay. Well, you can call it whatever you wanna call it, but I want nick to be free to focus his energies where they belong right now.

Phyllis: I’m gonna do things on my own now, summer. Okay? I made a mistake. I put you in a horrible position. But I’m going to take care of everything now. All right?

Summer: But, mom, I can help you. The only thing that I wanna do right now is bring you home. And if getting carson to cooperate is what it takes–

Phyllis: No! Summer, I mean it. This is non-negotiable. You got it? Drop it.

Summer: [ Scoffs ] Fine. You win. What are you gonna do now?

Phyllis: Um, I’m not quite sure, but you don’t need to worry about me. You know me. I’m gonna come up with something. But what I want you to do is go to your husband. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be okay.

[ Sighing ]

Sharon: Nick must be climbing the walls in there.

Michael: No, he’s just anxious to have this arraignment over and done with.

[ Sharon sighing ]

Sharon: I thought that this nightmare was behind us, michael, a long time ago, when cameron got sent to prison.

Michael: Look, this time, you went straight to the authorities. You did the smart thing.

Sharon: I remember you begging me last time. “Tell nick, go to the police. Don’t try to handle this maniac on your own.” But I… I was just too terrified. I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Michael: We’ve handled everything correctly this time. And I’m– I’m here to help.

Sharon: And we are eternally grateful.

[ Whispering ] I think I lost my mind last time. And… I– I cannot have that kind of violence or cruelty in my life again. And I will be damn sure that faith never experiences anything like that.

Michael: Um, detective, I don’t wanna alarm you, but, um… uh, nick thinks that cameron is up to something. And I’m afraid I have to agree.

Chance: Yeah, I think so, too. Now that he’s got nick out of the way, feels like he might make a move soon. All’s quiet on the ranch so far, though.

Sharon: Well, I am so glad that faith is going far, far away from here.

[ Phone ringing ]

Daniel: Hello?

Phyllis: Hey.

Daniel: Hold on a second. Okay, I think we’re good.

Phyllis: I need you to listen to me very, very carefully. You need to protect your sister. You need to protect her before she goes too far. Trelegy for copd. Hi, my name is tony cooper.

“The young and the restless” will continue.

Sharon: If cameron is planning something, I need to be ready. I wish there was some way we could know what he was planning and when he was going to attack.

Chance: We’re working on that. Don’t worry about it.

Sharon: Well, I’d be thrilled if you found a reason to arrest the creep. It’s the waiting that’s killing me.

Michael: Yeah. Unfortunately, it’s all part of the process.

Sharon: Well, in the meantime, every creak, every gust of wind has me thinking it’s cameron lurking somewhere.

Michael: Well, maybe we’re all mistaken and he’s not gonna pull anything tonight because of the beefed up security. But I would like to get a restraining order.

Chance: That’s a great idea.

Michael: If you agree, I’ll try to push it through asap.

Sharon: Yes. If you think he’ll abide.

Michael: Well, if he doesn’t, he’ll be cooling his heels in a jail cell somewhere. Now, let me head into town. I will set it in motion. There’s not really very much left I can do here right now.

Sharon: Okay. It’s going to be another long evening and a sleepless night.

Chance: Well, don’t worry. I’ll be here, so you can rest. Tomorrow may be tense.

[ Phone ringing ]

Michael: Oh, I’m sorry. I should take this. Summer, what’s up?

Summer: I’m at society. Can you meet me? It’s about my mom.

Michael: Your mom? Um… uh, uh, I’ve got some time before nick’s arraignment. I can be there in 20.

Summer: Okay. I’ll see– wait, nick’s what?

Daniel: Oh, you’re worried about summer? What did she tell you? Her ridiculous plan?

Phyllis: Yeah, she did. And I told her in the strongest possible terms not to pursue it. I was adamant, but I’m afraid she’s just gonna do what she wants anyway.

Daniel: Yeah. You’re probably right.

Phyllis: Okay, so, listen. This emt guy, his name is carson. He’s really sketchy. And not only that, he was really, really scared, which is not a good sign. I mean, he stole two bodies from the morgue. He faked two deaths, and then he lied to the police. He’s probably long gone by now, I’m sure.

Daniel: You’re sure or you hope?

Phyllis: I don’t know. But listen, daniel, if she confronts him with the truth and he knows that now his cover is blown, who knows what he’s gonna do. That just can’t happen. You have to make sure she doesn’t do this. Please. We don’t wanna mess with this guy.

Daniel: I tried to talk her out of it, but no such luck.

Phyllis: Well, you have to try again. Whatever it takes, daniel, you have to. Please. I gotta go.

Daniel: Hey, hey, wait, wait. Mom. Where are you? Does summer know?

Phyllis: No, she doesn’t know. And you’re not gonna know either. I’m gonna take care of myself from now on. I’m gonna come up with a plan. I’ll be fine. I need you and your sister to back away from this. I’m gonna keep you safe from now on.

Michael: Summer.

Summer: What’s going on with my dad?

Michael: Um, he ran into some trouble. It’ll be taken care of in… hold, 45 minutes.

Summer: But he’s in jail?

Michael: Well, for now. Talk to him when– when he gets out. He’ll tell you what happened. You both will have a good laugh over it.

Summer: Oh, god. My dad is in jail. My mom is on the run.

[ Chuckling ] What is happening in my life? What–

Michael: Summer, I’m taking care of your dad. It’s just a big misunderstanding. Really. Don’t worry about him. Now, tell me what’s happening with phyllis. Have you seen her?

Summer: Yeah, I have. And I– I– I think that she’s nearby, but she– she won’t tell me where she is.

Michael: Good. SmarT.

Summer: I have a plan to bring her home safely.

Michael: [ Grunts ] And you need my help?

Summer: I need you to help me find the emt that stark paid to help with the whole faking mom’s death thing. Carson.

Michael: Yeah. I know who he is. The guy’s a crook. What could you possibly want with him?

Summer: I wanna convince him to be a witness. Say that he saw stark abusing my mom. Say that she had to act in self-defense. And then we can get her off the hook for murder, at least. And I will pay for it. You don’t have to worry about that part.

Michael: Okay. Okay. Look, everything you just said, we are not going to do.

Summer: I’m trying–

Michael: No way, no how.

Summer: I’m trying to find a solution.

Michael: Yeah. Well, you would be committing serious crimes with a wanted man to aid and abet another fugitive. I mean, we’re talking about fraud, obstruction, witness tampering, conspiracy to suborn perjury– that’s just the beginning. Look, n– the answer is no. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Have I made myself clear?

Summer: Okay, you sound like my mom and daniel.

Michael: Yeah. Well, then listen to all three of us tell you to forget this unworkable scheme.

Summer: Michael, you’re supposed to be my mom’s oldest and dearest friend. Do you not think that we owe it to her to help her try to come home without a prison sentence?

Michael: Sweetheart, you know my history. I’ve been there. I’m not breaking the law. I’m not doing for phyllis. I’m not doing it for anyone. And I’m not encouraging you to do so.

Summer: So, what, then? She’s just– she’s just doomed? I’m– I’m not ever gonna see my mom again? And I– if she gets caught, she’s gonna spend the rest of her life in prison.

Michael: All right, all right, all right, you might wanna take that down a notch. Because hysteria really doesn’t work with me. No, I– I am, I am grateful that you brought up this carson character. I don’t want you anywhere near him. But he could be a critical piece of this puzzle.

Summer: Wait. Seriously?

Michael: Yeah. He could legitimately testify that stark was the mastermind behind phyllis’s fake death, and about his darker tendencies, which may have caused phyllis to kill him in– in– in self-defense.

Summer: So, you do think that he could help with her case?

Michael: Potentially. It’s a long shot. We have to locate him, we have to convince him to return to the jurisdiction and– and expose himself to possible arrest.

Summer: But there’s hope. That’s what– that’s what matters. There’s hope.

Michael: Only if you swear not to make any moves on your own, or to get your hopes up too high. Then– then I will do everything I can to follow up on this angle.

Summer: It has to work. She has to come home.

Michael: There’s one caveat. I don’t have the necessary resources for a, um… well, something this delicate. You may have to bring in the big guns.

[ Victoria sighing ]

Nikki: When did you wanna go over your brother’s projects and divvy them up?

Victoria: However you wanna allocate them is fine by me.

[ Keyboard clacking ]

Nikki: You seem a bit agitated.

Victoria: Well, I have work a pile high. It’s late. I’d like to get out of here at a reasonable hour.

Nikki: Big plans with nate?

Victoria: I didn’t say that.

Nikki: Well, I can’t help wondering if your relationship is influencing your decision about your brother’s status.

Victoria: My concern is for nick and the company. Nate has nothing to do with this.

Nikki: Well, let me ask you this. If nicholas were to walk away from newman for whatever reason, would you consider elevating nate to that position?

Nate: Nick’s dealing with some serious issues that require his full attention.

Audra: Hmm.

Nate: Victoria’s gonna ask him to take a leave of absence.

Audra: Creating an opening you could take advantage of.

Nate: Even if it’s temporary, it will give me a chance to show what I’m capable of at that level, without nick around constantly breathing down my neck.

Audra: Mm. And bring me one step closer to running newman media.

[ Nate chuckles ]

Nate: Here’s to us. Advancing our plan.

Audra: [ Laughs ] I’ll drink to that.

Kyle: Summer’s not here.

Daniel: Actually, I came here to talk to you.

Kyle: Why?

Daniel: Because I’m worried about her. She’s desperate. She’s trying to come up with ways to help mom that are risky. They– they don’t make any sense. And she’s not gonna listen to me but she might– she might listen to you. I mean, that is if you’re willing to talk to her. Are you? Can you forgive her just a little bit?

Victor: Michael baldwin, why aren’t you getting my son out of jail?

Michael: Oh, well, I’m headed to the arraignment right after this meeting.

Summer: Hi.

Victor: Hello, sweetheart.

Summer: Thank you for coming, grandpa.

Victor: Yep. Thank you. So, what is this all about?

Summer: Um… we need your resources to, um, help track someone down. Carson, the emt from the night of the gala. We think that he could help my mom’s case, but we need to find him first.

Victor: So, you want my investigator to find a criminal to help another criminal, your mother? And by the way, you, mr. Baldwin, you left my employ to help diane jenkins, against my wishes.

Michael: Well, it was proven she was innocent. So, I did the right thing. That should pardon some of my sins.

Victor: How would that pardon phyllis’ sins? Why should I lift a finger for a woman who has caused so much hell and stress for my granddaughter?

Chance: So, rey and I pull up on the scene, right? It’s this possible burglary in process. Apparently what happened was this couple was walking into their house with groceries. The husband was telling the wife a joke, and after he hit the punchline, they heard somebody laugh upstairs.

Sharon: [ Gasps ] Oh, my gosh. No. How creepy.

Chance: Yeah. So, they drop their groceries, they run outside, they call the cops, right? Rey and I get there. We go upstairs and we find nothing but an open window and nothing stolen.

Sharon: Oh, too bad you didn’t catch the guy, but…

Chance: Yeah.

Sharon: At least nobody got hurt.

Chance: True. True. But the– the lesson here is, right, if you’re a burglar, don’t laugh.

[ Both laughing ] Come on. Come on. What’s up? Something wrong?

Sharon: Faith. She should have texted me by now to let me know she’s okay.

For your most brilliant smile,

Victoria: Mom, I’m not trying to push nicholas out of the family company, if that’s what you’re asking. I love working with him. I do. I– would I prefer it if he kept his opinions about my personal life to himself? Of course, I would. But other than that, I love having him here working alongside us.

Nikki: Well, that’s very interesting, but you didn’t answer my question.

Victoria: Okay, then. Let me be more direct. If nick came to me and told me that he was leaving newman enterprises permanently, then yes. I would consider having nate take over as coo.

Kyle: Look, I don’t want to talk about this.

Daniel: Oh, I’m sure you don’T.

Kyle: I’ve got no problem with you. Okay? You’ve been decent through all of this. But this whole thing with summer lying and pretending not to know where phyllis was while framing my mom, it’s just too much.

Daniel: Hey, listen, man, I was furious with her, too. But when I spoke with her earlier, she was so stressed out. She’s not thinking straight. And I hate to say it, but when she feels like she has her back up against a wall, she’s a lot like our mother. And I’m worried that she’s gonna do something reckless thinking that it’s gonna help her.

Kyle: Daniel, as upset as I am with summer, I still love her. And the last thing I want is to see her hurt. But as far as you asking me to step in, I think you’re expecting too much.

Daniel: Why?

Kyle: Because it wouldn’t do any good. The way things are between summer and me, it’s pretty obvious my wife doesn’t give a damn what I say or do anymore.

Summer: Grandpa, this is my mom that we’re talking about. And I love her. And I know that you love me. Gosh, I just want her to be able to come home without a murder charge hanging over her head.

Michael: Victor, however this turns out, phyllis is not gonna be going home to a bed of roses. She has a lot of consequences to face for her actions. And so does carson. He has committed a multitude of crimes that he’ll have to answer for, which doesn’t make him the most credible witness, but at the moment, he’s all that phyllis has got.

Summer: Look, I’m not over what she did. Not at all. She made me and daniel suffer so much. But after thinking that my mom was gone forever, I just want her back home.

Victor: I understand how you feel, my darling. But every fiber of my body is against the notion of bringing phyllis back into this town. I mean, after all she has done, all the damage she has done to so many people, and most of all, to you.

Summer: Does that mean that–

Victor: Well, if you look at me like that, I’ll help you find carson.

[ Exhales in relief ]

Chance: Anything?

Sharon: No.

Chance: Maybe the flight got delayed.

Sharon: Faith would’ve said that to me. She would’ve told me that, too.

Chance: Look, we’ll give her a ring. See if she– see what the deal is. Call her.

[ Phone ringing ]

Sharon: Straight to voicemail.

Chance: Okay. Well, it could be airplane mode, right?

Sharon: No. Faith, she promised me, she promised she would check in. She wouldn’t neglect to do so.

Chance: Let me call swift, see what the deal is. Hold on.

[ Phone ringing ] It’s voicemail.

[ Sharon sniffling ] Oh, my god.

Chance: Hold on. Hold on.

Sharon: Chance!

Chance: Hold on, hold on. Give me a second.

[ Phone ringing ] Yeah. Hey, this is detective chancellor, genoa city pd. I need to know if a faith newman is on the passenger manifest for trans-global airlines flight 875. Yeah, I was scheduled to, uh– to leave genoa city a half hour ago. Yes. I’ll hold.

Sharon: I just– I don’t like this. I don’t like this one bit, chance. I don’t like this.

Chance: All right. Thank you.

[ Faith crying ] The flight took off. Faith wasn’t on board.

Sharon: No! No! No! [ Sobbing ] Chance!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: Your assistant told me you were covering for sharon.

Nick: Yeah. I’m just checking on a few things and I’m gonna get the staff up to speed, then I’m gonna head out to the ranch and check on sharon and faith.

Nikki: Have you calmed down since you went at it with your father?

Nick: Went at it, mom? Hardly. I’m just sick of dad’s fixation with sally. Not with cameron in town and making all these threats. Right now, sharon’s making sure that faith gets out of town herself and I think it’s breaking sharon’s heart.

Nikki: Honey, you really need to do something about that hand. It could be broken.

Nick: Will you leave me alone about my hand, mom?

[ Nick sighs ]

[ Cameron groans ]

Cameron: It– it’s kind of sweet how protective you are of your ex-wife. A little sad because she no longer wants or loves you, but super sweet.

Nick: You are gonna stay away from sharon and faith, and you will be gone by the morning

Cameron: Or what?

Nick: You don’t wanna find out.

[ Cameron chuckles ]

Abby: Oh, my gosh. Did you see dominic with that little hand drum?

Devon: I did.

[ Abby laughing ] It’s actually starting to sound like music.

Abby: Almost. Yeah. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Devon: Did you see that picture that tucker sent earlier of dominic in class waving his little wand around, trying out conducting? It’s the cutest thing in the world.

Abby: So cute. I think we might be a little bit biased though.

Devon: Oh, well. Definitely biased for sure.

Abby: I don’t know, I just, I can’t stop wondering.

Devon: Hm.

Abby: Tucker hasn’t missed a single music class and that is not easy on the eardrums. I mean, is he really just trying to prove to our family that he wants to be a part of all of this? Or is this some sort of angle that he’s using? Look, I know. I know it feels like I’m being negative and I should just be grateful that he’s doting on his grandson, but.

Devon: I know. He’s– he’s tucker and he is not the most trustworthy guy in the world.

Abby: Especially where my mom is concerned.

Devon: Yeah. Well, maybe it’s time that I put my plan into action.

Ashley: Right?

Tucker: Right.

Ashley: Cheers to us.

Tucker: Yes.

Ashley: Hmm. We have to tell abby and devon about our engagement before they hear about it from somebody else, okay?

Tucker: Okay. How about, “hey, abby and devon, we’re engaged. For real this time.”

Ashley: They’re not gonna be happy about it.

Tucker: Who cares?

Ashley: Well, I care. They were very upset when they found out you were moving in with me. Remember that?

[ Phone chiming ] Oh.

Tucker: Ah! Speak of the devil.

Ashley: Wow.

Tucker: Talk about timing.

Ashley: “Society in 30. Early dinner with devon and me. My treat.” Is that what you got?

Tucker: That’s what I got.

Ashley: Oh.

Tucker: That forces the issue, doesn’t it?

Ashley: Yes. Do we accept?

Tucker: What do we have to lose?

Ashley: The timing is interesting though, don’t you think? Is this a coincidence?

Tucker: It could be that they found out about the engagement and wanna stop the wedding. But it’s not up to them, is it?

Ashley: I can’t take any more fighting, honestly. There’s so much on my plate with this jack and diane thing. I can’t take it.

Tucker: Well, okay. What are you gonna do if they do object? You gonna put the wedding on hold indefinitely?

Jack: Hmm. A preemptive promotion, huh?

Diane: Well, you can’t deny that kicking me up the corporate ladder would send a powerful message to ashley and tucker.

Jack: It might also set off world war iii.

Diane: Well, your sister is to blame for that. What? Threatening to oust you from jabot as long as I’m in the picture?

Jack: Have you given any thought to what position might be suitable?

Diane: Well, my number one requirement is I wanna work closely with my fiancé.

Jack: Ooh, I like that.

Diane: Hmm. But since you asked, I understand that our chief talent officer is set to retire at the end of the month.

Jack: Ha! That’s right. Brenda is retiring. Any key hires go through her desk.

Diane: Yes. It’s a key position. And I know that hr has been interviewing possible candidates, but they’ve yet to fill the position. I would like to throw my hat in the ring if you think that–

Jack: You had me at your fiancé. And yeah, the more I think about it, the more that’s a perfect job for you. I can’t think of anyone shrewder at reading people.

Diane: So you’ll recommend me?

Jack: After everything you have been through in the last few months, feeling like you had no future, I want you to dream big. And yes, I can make this happen.

Diane: Good. Hmm.

Summer: Thanks for meeting me.

Daniel: Uh, how bad did it get after kyle saw mom in the hotel room? I mean, I stayed with her for a little while after I was half expecting to hear sirens and have a swat team show up at the door.

Summer: Well, keep listening.

Daniel: Are you saying kyle turned her in?

Summer: He found out that I knew where she was all this time and that I didn’t say anything.

Daniel: Oh, god. Summer, I’m sorry. I didn’t know.

Summer: I don’t know how we come back from this, but honestly, the only thing that I could think about in that moment was saving mom. So she and I did the only thing that we could.

Chance: All right. Hotel security’s gonna pull the surveillance footage for me.

Kyle: Oh, it’s not like they’ll find anything. Phyllis knows all about cameras and how to avoid ’em. It’s not like she was on her own either.

Chance: You know that’s twice now, man. You’ve come pretty close to incriminating your wife. Is there something you wanna tell me?

Kyle: I hate this. That’s what I wanna tell you.

Chance: Yeah, you’re in a, uh, tough spot, man. I get it.

Kyle: Okay. If there was any other way, but the truth has to come out. Summer has known where phyllis was for weeks. I can only assume she helped her escape. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… -you got this buddy.

-During an asthma attack,

Ashley: We can’t be sure if abby and devon even know that we’re engaged, so let’s just cross that bridge when we get to it.

Tucker: Let’S. Very reasonable.

Ashley: Yeah. Then again, knowing abby, if she knew, she would definitely voice her opinion because she’s not shy, if you haven’t noticed.

Tucker: I have. So, you think this is just a coincidence? Just a friendly invitation for the four of us to get together?

Ashley: Maybe. We had a nice time when the four of us ended up at neil’s lounge, right? Wasn’t that kind of okay? Wasn’t it, right? It sounds like fun, maybe, to do this.

Tucker: Hey, and I love fun things, man. I love ’em a lot more than things that aren’t fun.

Ashley: Me too.

Tucker: I know.

Ashley: Okay. Here we go. Oh, “we…”

Tucker: “We–”

Ashley: “…Would be delighted.”

Tucker: “We’d be delighted.” Ugh! That’s brilliant.

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: You know, it’s possible they won’t believe a word of it, or at least they’ll be suspicious.

Ashley: Yeah. Or both. Because we did tell them about, you know, the fact that we were considering a fake engagement purely for shock value.

Tucker: Yeah.

Ashley: I think the best thing to do is just be open and honest about both motives, right?

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: You know that us being married just strengthens us in case diane becomes a problem at jabot. Although that has to be private information, you can’t tell anybody.

Tucker: Devil’s advocate though. Are we being, uh, unfair to abby by putting her in the middle of all this and making her keep up our pretense with the rest of the family?

Ashley: Honestly, she’s gonna wind up there anyway if diane getting kicked out of jabot becomes an issue with the board. Thankfully, my daughter’s very adept at straddling the fence because she’s both an abbott and a newman. But you know what? Honestly, she’s very much her own person, so she’s not gonna just blindly follow my lead. I guess tonight, we’re gonna find out whether or not I have her support, huh?

Tucker: Yes, we are.

Ashley: Okay. Fingers crossed.

Tucker: Fingers crossed.

Devon: All right. Louise is all settled in with dominic.

Abby: Excellent.

Devon: Yeah. Um, hey, you know that the original plan was just for me to spend one-on-one time with tucker to find out where his head’s at with your mom, right?

Abby: Yeah, but it won’t hurt to have some backup, right? I mean, you shouldn’t have to subject yourself to that all alone.

Devon: No. I mean, it’s not torture to hang out with the guy. He’s got a couple good qualities.

Abby: Okay. If you say so.

Devon: It’s true. The hard part comes when he shows his true colors and then you have to question everything he says or does.

Abby: Yes, that part would be torture, having to second guess everything your father says. But tonight, you won’t have to be doing it alone. I will be there. You will have a second pair of eyes and ears to zero in on tucker. We won’t let him slip anything past us.

Daniel: So mom’s a fugitive again out there racking up more crimes. What the hell is wrong with her?

Summer: She offered to turn herself in to save my marriage, but I told her no.

Daniel: Why would you do that?

Summer: Because she needs more time to figure this out.

Daniel: Summer, that was a mistake. We need to be handling this out in the open, not encouraging her to run and hide from the cops. I mean, it’s just making things worse for all of us.

Summer: I wasn’t about to let her sacrifice her freedom for my– chance.

Daniel: Chance at what?

Chance: I’m done playing games. Where’s phyllis?

Nick: Sorry, mom. I– I don’t mean to snap at you. I’m not upset with you. I’m just frustrated.

Nikki: It’s okay. So, did punching the wall solve anything?

Nick: You know, I think you’ve asked me that like a hundred times since I was six.

Nikki: And I’ll keep asking you that until you give me the right answer.

Nick: I don’t know. I don’t know if punching the wall solved anything, but it may have bought us some time.

Nikki: Is there an update? Is cameron still in town?

Nick: I haven’t heard anything, mom, so I have to assume he is still here.

Nikki: And you will let the police and your father’s security team deal with it, right?

Nick: Yeah. Whatever works.

Nikki: Darling, I understand that you’re worried. You wanna protect your family, but please don’t forget how dangerous it got last time.

Nick: Mom–

Nikki: Cameron kirsten is an animal. He needs to be handled by professionals. If he can hurt you, he will, and he will be trying to do major damage.

Cameron: Genoa city P.D.? I’d like to report an assault. Around here, we like to keep things simple and honest.

Ashley: You’re very relaxed.

Tucker: I’m very relaxed.

Ashley: They’re here.

Tucker: Uh-oh.

Abby: Hi. Oh, thank you.

Tucker: Hi. How you doing?

Abby: Hi. How are you?

Devon: Hey, you two.

Abby: Mom!

Devon: What’s going on?

Tucker: Hey, son. How’re you?

Abby: You look beautiful.

Ashley: Oh, my gosh.

Abby: Hi.

Devon: Hi, ashley. How are you?

Ashley: Good. Really good to see you.

Devon: You look beautiful.

Ashley: Oh, thank you.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: Yeah.

Ashley: Woo!

Abby: Woo! Well, um, thank you for sending that picture of dominic at his music class.

Tucker: Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Devon: Boy’s a natural

Tucker: Yeah. And not only at the drums. Did you see the footage of him conducting?

Abby: I loved it. Yeah.

Tucker: He’s a natural born leader, so it’s in the genes.

Ashley: Right. Yeah.

[ All laughing ]

Abby: Oh, well, um, let me just tell you, the chef has outdone herself this evening. Um, there is a duck and scallop special that is out of this world.

Tucker: A duck and scallop together special. So it’s like a duck stuff– stuffed with scallops?

Abby: Or separately, you know. However you like it.

Tucker: Okay.

Devon: Should we get wine for the table or you guys want cocktails? What do you think?

Tucker: Yes.

Abby: Oh, why limit ourselves?

Devon: That’s why I love you.

Abby: Ooh.

Ashley: Okay. Stop. Anyway, we were both so happy that you invited us now because we have such great news.

Devon: Really?

Ashley: Yeah.

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: We’re getting married.

[ Tucker chuckling nervously ]

Tucker: Don’t everyone talk at once.

Devon: Yeah. No. I– I don’t know if we believe you, that’s all.

[ Laughing ]

Abby: I mean, is– is this real or is this for–

Tucker: It’s–

Abby: Diane and uncle jack’s benefit?

Tucker: It’s very real. And the wedding is going to happen very soon.

Ashley: Yeah.

Diane: How about to new opportunities?

Jack: How about to our new life together with lots of opportunities?

Diane: Hmm. No matter what ashley says.

[ Both laughing ]

Kyle: Where’s summer? Is she here? I need to talk to her.

Jack: No, I haven’t seen her.

Diane: Neither have I.

Jack: Hey, what’s wrong? What’s going on?

Kyle: I can handle it.

Jack: Kyle! Kyle! You can’t expect us to sit back when you’re this upset. What’s going on?

Diane: Yeah, we’re here for you. What is it?

Kyle: Okay. I wish I didn’t have to tell you this, but I can’t keep it to myself any longer.

Daniel: I have no idea where our mother is.

Chance: You sure about that?

Daniel: You wanna hook me up to a lie detector?

Chance: What about you?

Summer: I don’t know where she is either.

Chance: Okay. Well, I know she’s been laying low at the athletic club. She’s not there anymore. And I bet you’re the one that hustled her outta there. It’s a big mistake, summer.

Summer: Daniel, will you give me and chance some privacy?

Daniel: No. No, I don’t think I wanna do that. We agreed that we were in this together, remember?

Summer: Look, I don’t wanna drag you any deeper into this. Please.

Daniel: Listen to her. Give her a fair shake.

Chance: As long as she’s honest.

Daniel: Call me.

Summer: I really thought you were on my side there for a second.

Chance: No, I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but now I know you’ve been lying to me this whole time. We had an agreement. You knew that I would be as fair as the law would allow.

Summer: That’s the catch though, right? “As the law would allow.” I don’t regret any of my actions. Stark forced my mom to do everything that she did, but there– there’s no way to prove it because he is dead now. Chance, she’s in an impossible position. How can the law help her now?

Chance: There is always a way.

Summer: How? Tell me.

Chance: Summer, I can’t do anything if you don’t tell me the truth. We were supposed to be helping each other, all right? We had a relationship built on trust and right now, you don’t trust me and I sure as hell don’t trust you. Ultomiris is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis

Summer: Once kyle found us, mom knew that she wasn’t safe anymore and she took off the minute that he left. She could be anywhere by now.

Chance: Summer, by refusing to cooperate, you know you’re making this so much harder on phyllis and yourself? You do realize I could arrest you right now, right? Yeah. False statements, obstruction, aiding and abetting a murder suspect.

Summer: Do what you have to do, but I still can’t tell you where my mom is because I don’t know.

Chance: [ Chuckling ] You are playing a dangerous game right now.

Summer: This is not a game to me. You wanna know where she is? Give me a guarantee that she won’t be arrested.

Chance: I can’t do that. Especially now that you’ve admitted you know more than what you’re saying. You’re taking a big risk withholding information like this, I hope you know that.

[ Phone ringing ] Chancellor. Yeah. Thanks. Um, I’m on it.

Summer: Was that about my mom?

Chance: You really expect me to tell you after you’ve given me nothing?

Kyle: Phyllis has been hiding out in a suite at the athletic club.

Diane: What?

Jack: I’m calling the police right now.

Kyle: No, I already did. Chance and I went there. She’s gone.

Diane: How did you know where she was?

Kyle: Summer led me right to her.

Jack: Wait. Summer knew where she was?

Kyle: Has for a while.

Diane: Are you serious?

Jack: She has been lying to us this whole time?

Kyle: She begged me not to tell anybody, but I’m not giving phyllis a free pass. This has to end.

Diane: Yes, it does.

Kyle: Summer has been betraying all of us for weeks. Summer not only knew phyllis was alive, she’s known where she was long before any of us found out.

[ Diane scoffing ]

Abby: How are we supposed to know that this is real? Because it– it feels fake. I mean, are we just supposed to take his word for it?

Devon: Yeah. ‘Cause we’ve been through this before too. And you– you know that marriage is a sacred thing, right?

Tucker: Yes. Of course, I know that. And I’m making a lifelong commitment.

Abby: Hmm. Yeah. Well, meanwhile, my mom is just sticking it to diane.

Ashley: Okay. Just hold on a second, abby. All right? As tucker said, there are real, real feelings here.

Abby: Oh, yeah. Like vindictiveness, hatred, irrational fear. Those are all real feelings. But this is really about diane, right?

Tucker: Well, your mother is right to have her suspicions about diane’s motives.

Ashley: Yes, I am. I’m very right. She’s a danger to our family and to our family’s company.

Devon: How is she dangerous? She’s on trial for murder, right?

Tucker: You guys didn’t hear?

Ashley: Oh, boy.

Devon: Hear what?

Abby: Hear what?

[ Tucker laughing ]

Ashley: Phyllis faked her death. She did.

Devon: What?

Ashley: She faked her death and she’s still somewhere, I don’t know, wandering around.

Tucker: No one knows where. And the police have proof that she’s alive and so they’ve dropped the charges against diane.

Ashley: Yeah.

Devon: What are you talking about?

Abby: Wait, are– are you serious right now?

Devon: There’s no way that happened.

Ashley: Yes, it happened. I mean, it’s fantastic that phyllis is alive, obviously, but now, diane is so full of herself. I mean, jack doesn’t think she can do anything wrong, so she’s more of a threat than ever before.

Chance: You don’t hear too well, do you?

Nick: Excuse me?

Chance: Nick, I told you not to take matters into your own hands when it came to kirsten. I thought you knew how important that was.

Nick: What the hell are you talking about?

Chance: Did you go to this guy’s hotel room, nick?

Nick: Yes, chance. I did. To talk to him.

Chance: There wasn’t an altercation?

Nick: What are you getting at?

Chance: Let me spell it out for you, man. Cameron kirsten has filed a complaint. He would like to press charges against you for battery.

[]

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Devon: Huh. So, now that diane has been proven innocent, you guys just want torment her?

Ashley: I’m trying to protect my family’s company, devon.

Abby: That’s a terrible reason to plan a wedding.

Tucker: Ashley and I know better than either of you what diane is capable of, so.

Ashley: Exactly. She wormed her way into a job at jabot when nobody wanted to hire her. I know what she’s gonna do next. She’s gonna convince my brother to bring her on somewhere in senior management, and she will use that position to wreak havoc within the company.

Abby: Honestly, mom, what can diane really do with uncle jack and billy in charge?

Devon: Yeah. I mean, she doesn’t really have any business experience, so how would she cover her tracks?

Abby: Unless there’s something that we’re missing?

Ashley: We wanted to share this information with you because obviously we want– we want you to know what’s going on in our lives. Please keep it private. Please. If this becomes an issue with the board, I’m hoping that I can count on your support, abby.

Abby: Support? What’s going before the board?

Ashley: I’m hiring tucker to be a part of our senior management team. And I’m also floating the idea of removing jack as ceo.

[ Abby exhaling ]

Abby: I knew it. I knew you were behind this. You are using my mom all over again.

[ Summer sighing ]

Daniel: Hey, where is our favorite detective?

Summer: I was trying to plead my case with him.

Daniel: Any luck?

Summer: I thought that maybe I was getting somewhere, but then he got this phone call and he shot me a look, and then he just walked off.

Daniel: Did he say what the phone call was about?

Summer: I’m guessing it was a lead about mom and he took off after her.

Daniel: This is exactly what we don’t need. Mom getting scared and skipping town because she’s afraid she’s not gonna be treated fairly.

Summer: Well, it’s probably exactly what happened. Daniel, we might not ever see our mom again.

Daniel: No, do not go there. We are not gonna let that happen.

Nick: Cameron’s a liar and an opportunist.

Chance: And yet you charged into his room and you let him have it. You played right into his hands.

Nick: Let him have what? I showed up. I gave him a piece of my mind and told him he had to leave town.

Chance: You assaulted him, nick.

Nick: You wanna know what happened or not?

Chance: Look, I have to take you in. I have to read you your rights.

Nick: What are you talking about? Sharon and I told you what kind of guy he is. He framed sharon for murdering her ex-boyfriend. He is a psychopath.

Chance: That doesn’t make it okay for you to go beat the hell out of him.

Nick: I didn’t do that. I did not hit him.

Chance: Then what was said? What happened?

Nick: I told him he had to stay away from everyone in my family and that he had to leave town. That’s it. He has done nothing but terrorize sharon and stalk my daughter. He killed her cat. Was i supposed to just let that go?

Chance: You were supposed to let me handle it.

Nick: Well, you didn’t handle it, chance. You should heard him with all this crazy talk. He said he was gonna try and seduce sharon.

Chance: Is that when you hit him?

Nick: Who’s not listening now?

Chance: I know what you said, nick, but I have been told otherwise.

Nick: This is the truth.

Chance: Nick, we have been here before, man. We’ve been here. I gave you the benefit of the doubt when ashland was killed. I can’t do that again.

Nick: I was just making a point, all right? But clearly, he is not leaving town. This is his next desperate move.

Cameron: Detective chancellor.

Chance: Kirsten.

Cameron: Wait. You’re just gonna stand here like chatting with my assailant? Or maybe you wanna arrest him at some point, huh?

I have type 2 diabetes,

Abby: All this talk that you are a changed man was just a pack of lies.

Devon: Yeah, man. Are you– this is– you’re trying to pull a stunt like this? Really?

Abby: How are you not disgusted by this selfish, manipulative man?

Ashley: It’s not easy. However, you’re wrong about him. He’s had nothing to do with my plan for jabot. If anything, he’s tried to talk me out of it on many, many occasions.

Devon: Really?

Abby: Is this you talking or him?

Tucker: She’s telling the truth. I have been pushing her to walk away from jabot and leave it to the abbotts, start something new with me, but if this is what she wants, I’m all in.

Ashley: It’s true. And if anybody’s using anyone, it’s me. Tucker says he loves me. He wants a real marriage. Listen, I wanna protect my family’s company, so don’t blame him, okay? I’m the one that made this call.

Chance: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Nick: Let me look at you. Whoever did that to you, I’d sure like to shake his hand.

Cameron: Like you don’t know who did this to me.

Nick: You’re a liar. I never touched you.

Cameron: You didn’t touch me? Look at my face. Look at his knuckles.

Chance: Okay. All right. Let me see your hands.

[ Nick chuckling ] Yeah, it’s pretty banged up, nick.

Nick: This didn’t happen from punching him.

Chance: How’d it happen?

Nick: Like I said, he was running his mouth, so I hit the wall out of frustration.

Cameron: That’s true. He hit the wall with his first punch, but the next three after that? Look at this. What? Do I need any more proof?

Abby: I, uh, please forgive me. I didn’t realize.

Ashley: You didn’t ask. You just assumed.

Tucker: Well, you can understand why she would jump to the worst possible conclusion with me. I’ve given her lots of reason to doubt me and–

Ashley: That’s true.

Tucker: And my intentions over the years. So if I were in her shoes, I’d do the same. Both of you.

Devon: Well, let me say that I’m sorry I misjudged you as well.

Tucker: No apology necessary.

Abby: Look, I’m happy that you’re not on board with my mom’s whole fixation with diane, but I’m not happy that you’re trying to tempt her away from jabot. That’s her legacy. She earned it.

Ashley: I agree with that. And I’m not planning on going anywhere. And I’m not planning on letting jack hand over the keys to the kingdom to diane. And that’s why I’m very happy I– I’ve got this man’s support.

Kyle: Summer shut me out. She was in so much pain, or so I thought, and I pleaded for her to let me help, but she lied and lied and lied some more. She could not have hurt me more if she had stabbed me in the heart. So tell me, how am I supposed to get past that?

Jack: How long did you wait before you called the police?

Kyle: Until the initial shock wore off. Then I knew what I had to do. I had to tell them, even though summer is now in trouble, all caught up in phyllis’s mess.

Jack: You– you did the right thing. I don’t mean to sound harsh, but she had to know there were consequences. And then she broke your heart. This is inexcusable.

Diane: You’re– you’re right. But try to see this from summer’s point of view. How can we blame her for protecting her mother?

Kyle: After what phyllis has done? After what they’ve both done? How– how can you be so understanding?

Diane: No, I– I understand what summer did. Phyllis, not at all. Think about it. She put her children in a terrible position. Forcing them to lie to people they love.

Kyle: No– no one forced summer to lie to me.

Diane: Phyllis did. She knew that summer would do anything she could to protect her mother. Summer didn’t have a choice. All right, all right, kyle. Kyle, think about it. What if the situation was reversed and you had to choose between phyllis and your own mother? Who would you protect?

The thought of getting screened

Devon: All right. Should, uh, we get round two?

Abby: He means drinks, uh, not fighting.

Tucker: Yeah, I think it’s time we said our goodbyes.

Ashley: Yeah.

Abby: Really?

Tucker: YeaH.

Abby: I mean, ’cause we haven’t even gotten our food yet.

Ashley: I know, but we’ve given you so much to absorb in such a short period of time. A lot of stuff.

Tucker: Yeah. Next time. We’ll go somewhere with dominic and we will stay away from wedding talk and business talk and we’ll keep it nice and neutral.

Ashley: Yeah.

Devon: Okay. That’s a good idea probably.

Tucker: All right.

Devon: Yeah. Thanks.

Abby: I, um, I’d like to talk about this more with you. I mean, in private. I don’t wanna fight. I just wanna understand.

Ashley: Of course. And– and I love you. And thank you for the cocktails. And thank you for listening.

Abby: You’re welcome. I love you.

Tucker: Talk to you later.

Devon: Good one. Yeah.

Abby: Good night.

Tucker: Yeah. Good night. Thank you for the invitation.

Ashley: Bye-bye.

Devon: See you, guys.

Abby: Oof! Okay.

[ Devon laughing ]

Abby: Whose idea was this again? Oh, never mind. That’s right. It was mine.

Devon: Yeah. It did not go the way we thought, did it?

Abby: Those two baffle me.

Devon: Oh, me too.

Abby: I– I don’t know who I’m more worried about. Your dad using my mom or my mom using him.

Diane: I am not condoning what summer did, obviously, but we shouldn’t judge her too harshly. She must have been scared to death.

Jack: You’re holding summer blameless? She could have told us at any time, saved us a world of torment.

Diane: And phyllis could have prevented this whole thing months ago. I guarantee that any torment that we’ve been feeling, summer has suffered twice as much. She’s not the villain here. She’s as much of a victim as any of us. I am trying to empathize with what our daughter-in-law has been going through.

Jack: Well, you are a better person than I am.

Diane: Well, first of all, no, I’m not, but summer must have been overwhelmed by the circumstances. Circumstances that her mother created to save her own skin. If we should blame anyone, it’s phyllis. Kyle, I am so sorry. My– my heart aches for you because you have been badly hurt, but so has your wife at the hands of her own mother and that is really unfair. I– I– I think summer deserves our compassion and our forgiveness.

Kyle: You are… amazing.

Diane: Don’t say that. I’m not. I just know that you and summer have something that is really special and I– I don’t wanna see you toss your marriage aside just because her mother is a destructive narcissist. Kyle, I’m not even sure you realize how valuable and– and unique your relationship is, but I just, I don’t want you to lose someone who truly loves you.

Kyle: I– I just don’t know if I can turn the other cheek. There’s been too many lies and too many days of watching her suffer and blaming myself for not being what she needed. Summer didn’t just choose phyllis over you. She– she chose a lie over our marriage. How am I supposed to get past that?

Daniel: Okay. Okay. Let’s just take a breath here and decide our next move.

Summer: I can’t even think about that right now. I might have just lost my mom and my husband.

Daniel: I can’t do anything for you and kyle, but if we put our heads together, maybe we can figure out a way to help mom.

Summer: Everything that we have tried so far has completely failed.

Daniel: So we try again and we keep trying until we find something that works.

Summer: Daniel, she is facing murder charges and there is absolutely no way to prove that it was self-defense. Unless… what if there was a witness? Somebody that saw everything that went down between her and stark that night. Who– who is willing to corroborate her story that– that it was self-defense?

Daniel: Summer, there are no witnesses. Nobody else was there. You know that.

Summer: Yeah, but the police don’T. We’re the only ones who have actually talked to her. There’s a lot of details that the cops don’t know about and stark isn’t around to refute them.

Daniel: This does not sound very feasible.

Summer: Just listen to me. What if– what if– what if there was someone who was willing to come forward for the right price? Who– who is willing to swear that they saw everything?

Chance: Nick, you admitted that you went to the guy’s hotel room. You exchanged words. Your hand is beaten up. His face is beaten up. I have to take you in, man. I’m sorry.

Nick: Fine. I’ll go to the station when I’m ready. I’m gonna go to the ranch first and make sure that sharon and faith are safe.

Chance: No, I will make sure they’re safe, okay? I have to take you, man. Once you go through booking, make sure you call victor, get him on the phone.

Cameron: Sounds like somebody’s getting special treatment ’cause they got a special last name.

Chance: Shut up. Come oN. Come on. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to hire a lawyer and have one present with you while you are being questioned. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you. Come on, come on, come on.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Audra: Some people are afraid of their own desires. It’s like they’re ashamed to admit how badly they want something.

Sally: [ Groaning ] Ah!

Adam: What– what is it?

Sally: [ Groaning ] Oh, I don’t know.

Nick: What’s going on?

Sharon: It’s faith. He took her. He took our baby.

Recap written by Terry

Nick does his best to protect Sharon from Cameron. Sharon keeps a level head and insists that she and Nick will not make the same mistakes as they did with him the first time he terrorized her. She said it’s time to let Victor and Nikki know Cameron is back. She also notes that she and Nick need the resources Victor can provide in order to get protection from Cameron. Nick is hesitant, knowing that his dad’s help comes with strings, but Sharon insists on seeking Victor’s help. Victor vows to do everything he could to keep Sharon safe and posted a guard outside Sharon’s home; also, he’ll have security patrolling the ranch 24/7.

Nick and Sharon learn that Cameron stole the clothing of a security guard at Newman Towers, including ID. Cameron wore the uniform to his hotel room, but then he took it off and placed it in a trash bag.

Ashley and Tucker have a drink. Ashley is upset by the thought of Diane further insinuating herself into Jack’s life. Ashley insists she has to be around to protect Jabot from Diane’s suspected goal to gain respectability, money and power.

Tucker, frustrated with Ashley’s worries about Diane, offers to take Ashley on a romantic vacation – anywhere she chooses. However, Ashley insists she has to stay and keep an eye on Diane. Sshe spoke to the Board of Directors about her suspicions, unbeknownst to Jack. Ashley wants to get the board on her side to keep Diane out of an executive position. Tucker notes it’s going to be difficult to get the board to oust Jack. Ashley wants to enlist Tucker’s help to take down Diane, whom Ashley expects will worm her way into an executive position.

Diane and Jack dance at the club, savoring Diane’s freedom. Diane wants them to walk down the aisle together. Jack loves the idea. Diane wants Summer to be her matron of honor, to prove to Summer that she is important and loved. She also wants the wedding day to prove Phyllis has no power over the family. Diane credits Jack for the happiness they share and Jack happily says he could not be more excited about their future and wants to discuss a wedding date. Diane says she wants a small but elegant wedding and for Harrison to be the ring bearer. Jack agrees.

Kyle follows Summer to the hotel where Phyllis is staying. Kyle insists on their going to the police station, so that Phyllis can turn herself in. Phyllis looks a bit defiantly at Kyle but apologizes for what she’s done. She says she wants to make amends for what she did to Diane and admits that she does need to be punished. Before the police get involved, she wants the chance to clear her name. She claims that she returned to do the right thing, just like Diane did. Phyllis compares her actions to Diane’s, saying that both women returned because they could not be away from their children.

Phyllis speaks privately with Daniel. He can’t believe what Phyllis put her children through. Phyllis promises to never again be separated from her family.

Phyllis explains to Kyle that she resented Diane because she had everything Phyllis wanted and that she wanted Diane to be hurt. Jeremy Stark convinced her to go along with his plan to frame Diane for Phyllis’ murder. She claims that Stark took advantage of both she and Diane and the only way out for Phyllis was to hurt Jeremy. Kyle responds angrily that she killed Jeremy. Phyllis argues that she had to defend herself. Kyle points out skeptically that it’s Phyllis’ word against a dead man’s. She notes that her life is now in Kyle’s hands. She swears to Kyle she will make everything right. He finally agrees to not go to the police for now. He then turns his attention to Summer and asks her how long she’s known that Phyllis was alive.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sally: Hello, stranger.

Nick: I’m sorry that I’ve been out of touch, but I can explain.

Sally: Oh, I hope you don’t think we have to be joined at the hip. But what’s going on?

Nick: I had my hands full of something that’s not nearly as fun as being here with you. But I’m here now, and I want to hear everything. How’s baby girl? Is she still doing somersaults in there?

Sally: Actually, things could be better.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Faith: I thought I smelled you baking something. What’s going on?

Sharon: I’m cleaning and baking.

Faith: To distract yourself from current events?

Sharon: It had to be done. Now is as good a time as any. Are you in the mood for some cookies or some croquet? How are your roommates doing?

Faith: Completely freaked out for me. Sad for borgnine. He didn’t deserve that. And they’re worried about you.

Sharon: Me? Why?

Faith: When the mom who sends the best care packages is in trouble, the ladies at five west give a damn.

Sharon: Are you worried?

Faith: I mean, it does kind of feel like we’re living in a horror movie. Dead cat and a stalker? Just don’t go in the basement.

Sharon: That’s not going to happen, okay? We’re going to sort this out.

[ Slamming on door ]

Faith: What the– mom.

Sharon: Are you expecting anyone?

Faith: You?

Sharon: No.

[ Lock rattling ]

Summer: Thank you for meeting me.

Chance: Yeah, I had a few minutes. I’m assuming this is about phyllis?

Summer: Have you heard anything yet?

Chance: Summer, you’ll be the third or fourth person to know.

Summer: What would it take to call off the all-points bulletin?

Chance: Already told you. Bring her in.

Summer: Treating her like she’s a threat to public safety, it’s giving the wrong–

Chance: Look, she killed a man, summer.

Summer: Not by choice. It was kill or be killed.

Chance: All right, well, we need to hear the full story from her. Now, if that’s all you have to talk about, I got a lot of stuff to do.

Summer: No, wait. I– I’m just– I’m trying to picture it in my head so that I can manage my expectations.

Chance: For what?

Summer: My mom’s return. I mean, I didn’t think that it was possible for so long.

Chance: Yeah. You, uh– you got lucky.

Summer: I got lucky?

[ Chuckles ] You want to know how I got so lucky? Especially, considering the fact that stark could have killed my mom and nobody would have looked for her because he’d already faked her death? I got lucky because my mom was smart enough to save herself. I’m just saying that a woman like that who can do that, who can save herself when no one else is going to, that woman, she doesn’t deserve to come home to a prison cell.

Phyllis: You have to call me back, supergirl. Even if it’s bad news, please call me back.

[ Sighs ] Because now that kyle knows where I am… oh. My future is in kyle’s hands.

Diane: I meant what I said. For every aspect of planning a wedding, there are too many choices. I give up.

Jack: So, you’re okay with exchanging vows in a cow pasture?

Diane: [ Laughs ] With goats and hens as our guests? I don’t know. They might be better behaved than some.

Kyle: Wedding planning? I’m going to get as far away from here as possible.

Jack: Seems like only yesterday that you were planning your own vow renewal ceremony.

Diane: Ah, I loved that setting. It was so romantic, until tucker landed a helicopter in the backyard. Oh, we wanted to ask harrison to be our ring bearer.

Kyle: I’m sure he would love that, but he was our ring bearer.

Jack: Is that a problem?

Kyle: Dad, if I were you, I would do the exact opposite of what summer and I did. I think our vow renewal ceremony was bad luck. Everything was going along just fine, and then…

[ Snaps fingers ] Cursed.

Jack: Hey, hey. What’s gotten into you? Why are you talking like this?

Announcer: Additional

sponsorship provided by… -you got this buddy.

-During an asthma attack,

Jack: Kyle, is there something going on you want to talk to us about?

Kyle: No. Nothing. There is nothing I want to talk about. In fact, I don’t want any of this happening in my life at all, nothing– nothing feels right.

Diane: Because of summer? You two are such a team. Is she still sleeping in the pool house?

Kyle: We have a lot going on.

Diane: I know, I know, and I’m really sorry about that.

Kyle: Anyway, I– I– this should be a happy time for y’all and I don’t wanna bring you down.

Diane: Kyle, you know that parents can’t be happy unless their children are. Even an adult child.

[ Sighs ] This is all because of phyllis, who is out there somewhere. Am I wrong?

Kyle: Yeah, I’d better go.

Jack: Hey, you want some company?

Kyle: Yeah, I’m just gonna go to work. I have to solve a few problems there.

Diane: Kyle. We love you.

[ Door shuts closed ]

[ Lock rattling ]

[ Lock rattling ]

Mariah: Knock, knock. Is anybody home? Guess who forgot their key.

[ Sharon sighs in relief ]

Sharon: Mariah.

Mariah: Hey! I’m so, so sorry. I forgot my key at home and I didn’t think that I would be interrupting a croquet match?

Sharon: Um, I was just cleaning out a closet.

Mariah: Mom, if you were really that scared, you should have called the police.

Faith: Next time, say something sooner, so we don’t have to panic.

Mariah: I’m sorry–

Faith: You know that cameron is still out there.

Mariah: I know, I know. I– I wasn’t thinking.

Sharon: This just has us all on edge, which is why I want to apologize for what I’m about to say.

Faith: What?

Sharon: Faith, I think it’s time you leave.

Nick: I’m so sorry I wasn’t here.

Sally: You have a life.

Nick: You’re a big part of that life.

Sally: And I want to hear all about it.

Nick: It’s not a contest. Ladies first. What’s going on?

Sally: Don’t be alarmed. Doctor says we are not in the danger zone yet.

Nick: Already not liking this conversation.

Sally: What exactly do you know about pre-eclampsia?

Nick: Unfortunately, a lot. I’ve been down this road. Elevated blood pressure in pregnancies can lead to complications.

Sally: Yeah, well, um, I don’t have it… yet. And as long as I keep my blood pressure down, and maybe, get, I don’t know, approved for some prenatal yoga classes, then…

Nick: You sure you’re okay?

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, and I’m gonna keep it that way, you know? Very, very peaceful. Very calm. If I could just meditate this headache away.

Nick: Did you tell your doctor about that?

Sally: Yes, yeah. They said it could be from my medication, so I’m just going to grit my teeth and bear it.

Nick: You’re just gonna tough it out.

Sally: For now, yeah.

Nick: What can I do? What do you need from me?

Sally: Just you being here makes me feel better. I’ve told you this before, but you’re like magic.

Nick: I wish that trick worked in every other part of my life.

Sally: What fire were you putting out whenever I was trying to track you down?

Nick: Trying to figure out what will stress you more. Knowing or not knowing.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Okay. Cards on the table. All of ’em.

Nick: Okay. Several years ago, sharon and i put away a very bad man, but now he’s back and he is dangerous. (Tap, tap)

Faith: You want me to leave? I can’t abandon you. That’s against family policy. Tell her, mariah.

Mariah: You’re going to have to give me the updated terms, ’cause I don’t really know what rule she’s breaking.

Faith: Times get tough, we stick together.

Sharon: If anything happened to you, do you think I’d be able to forgive myself?

Faith: But I can protect myself.

Sharon: He knows who you are, where to find you. He knows how much you mean to me.

Mariah: You’re her achilles heel.

Sharon: He knows that I would do anything for you and he is evil enough to use that against me.

Mariah: And as a newly minted member of the mom club, mom’s gonna be a lot stronger knowing that you’re safe.

Faith: But– no. Don’t you see?

Sharon: I’ll be fine.

Faith: You won’t because you’ll be alone.

Sharon: What are you talking about?

Faith: If I leave, who is going to protect you? How the heck did he get past security? And what if it happens again? We don’t have rey anymore, mom. Mariah’s busy with the baby. Who’s gonna be here to play croquet? Or hold your hand when you’re scared, huh?

Sharon: I will be fine.

Faith: You always say that.

Sharon: That’s because it’s always true. Besides, I have nick, your grandparents, and the security team here is actually quite top tier.

Faith: But he got past them anyways, which means cameron is really that dangerous.

Sharon: I love that you want to protect me, but that’s not your job.

Mariah: Sorry, kid.

Sharon: I want you someplace safe, okay? So I don’t have to worry about you.

Faith: You can’t just push me away like that. This is so not fair.

Sharon: Faith, do this for me.

Faith: I will go, but I’m not happy about it. When I text, I want answers immediately, or I’m calling emergency numbers and I’m on the next plane back.

Sharon: Well, thanks for the warning.

Faith: And the second that psycho is back behind bars, I’m coming home. I mean it.

Sharon: Yeah.

Summer: It was self-defense. He coerced her into doing everything she did. I mean– chance, you know my mom, she’s not a criminal. She was doing what she had to do to survive.

Chance: Like I said, it would help to hear all of this from phyllis.

Summer: Why don’t you interview nate hastings and elena dawson? I mean, they were there. They were at the gala, they examined my mom, and they said, in their medical opinions, she was in distress. I mean, that’s gotta mean something, right?

Chance: Just gonna help explain some things–

Summer: He drugged her! He gave something to her that affected her physically and mentally. I mean, how else would he have gotten her to go along with this scheme?

Chance: You don’t know that for a fact.

Summer: But it’s possible. Shadow of a doubt, it could help strengthen her case.

Chance: Look, the only thing that we found in her system was the poison, that’s it.

Summer: Well, did they check for an agent that could have affected her brain? Did they check for that?

Chance: Summer, there is no evidence to back up phyllis’ side of the story, none.

[ Summer sighs ] We don’t even have her word, all we have is hearsay.

Summer: Chance, she’s been through enough, I just want her to be able to come home.

Chance: You do know that any actions you take could result in you being treated as an accessory?

Summer: I don’t scare easily anymore. The only thing that really scares me is the idea of losing my mom forever because I’ve been through that once, and that was enough.

Chance: Look, summer, in the eyes of the law–

Summer: Oh, you mean, in the eyes of christine. ‘Cause she’s the problem, right? She’s got a vendetta against my mom.

Chance: This case has nothing to do with personal grievances.

Summer: Are you new here?

[ Chance chuckles ]

Chance: Okay, so you don’t think she can be fair?

Summer: I think that christine has the opportunity to publicly humiliate my mom. Sure, justice might be blind, but our enemies don’t forget. And that’s when you’re– you’re supposed to be able to turn to your friends, and I– chance, I’m just asking you is there anything that you can do?

[ Chance sighs ]

Nick: So, I gave the guy a very strongly-worded suggestion that he leave town immediately. We will see how brave he is.

Sally: Did this suggestion have anything to do with your knuckles?

[ Nick sighs ]

Nick: Nobody got hurt. And I can take care of myself. Right now, I’m more concerned about you. Are those tears in your eyes?

Sally: It’s just the cat. And your hand. Gosh, this is the saddest thing I’ve ever heard.

Nick: I probably shouldn’t have brought up the cat.

Sally: I mean, who does that? Seriously, the poor thing was so defenseless, I– god, what a monster.

Nick: The cat was just a message letting us know that he can get to us whenever he wants.

Sally: Well, that guy better hope that I never see him.

Nick: Listen to me, sally. If you do see him, you run. You call the police, okay? You don’t talk to him, you don’t even catch him looking at you.

Sally: Okay, well, what does he look like?

[ Sally sighs ]

Nick: Here.

Sally: Oh, my god. I know him.

Nick: You recognize him? You saw him? Where?

Sally: In the park. I met him. Oh, my god.

Nick: I need you to tell me everything cameron said or did. Did he say or do anything that made you feel threatened?

Sally: No. He couldn’t have been nicer. You’re the one that’s scaring me.

Nick: I’m sorry. It’s just, if you knew this guy the way I do–

Sally: He was like, two feet away from me.

Nick: This face?

Sally: Yes. Absolutely.

Nick: Tell me everything.

Sally: Okay, well, I was walking through the park when I got dizzy, double vision.

Nick: Right.

Sally: And then, a man, this man, just came up to me–

Nick: Son of a bitch!

Sally: And he asked me if I was okay, and I– I told him that I had someone else to call.

Nick: Then you called me?

Sally: Yeah, and then, he stayed with me until help came.

Nick: That guy?

Sally: Yeah. He was nice.

Nick: He’s not nice, sally. He’s not. All right, cameron kirsten is dangerous as hell.

Sally: Okay, well, he couldn’t possibly know that you and I are together.

Nick: He is thorough. He is making his way into sharon’s inner circle. I mean, he showed himself to you and to faith.

Sally: Okay, okay, but there’s no way that this guy could’ve staged to be my knight in shining armor. I mean, he was in the right place at the right time. It was a coincidence. It wasn’t some targeted strike.

Nick: How can you be sure of that?

Sally: First of all, no one could have possibly known that I was gonna get dizzy. Not even me. And I have also staged a few accidental meet and greets in the past, I know what it looks like, I know what it takes. This was not choreographed. He had no idea who I was.

Nick: Well, we need to make sure it stays that way.

Diane: Here you go.

Jack: Thank you. Kyle’s right, you know.

Diane: About the curse of vow renewals?

Jack: No, we need to get back to the business of planning our wedding.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Did you get the feeling that there’s more going on with him than he’s telling us?

Jack: Kyle is a grown man entitled to keep the details of his marriage to himself.

Diane: Yes, but how can we help him if don’t know what the problem is?

Jack: By staying out of it.

[ Si

Diane: This is all phyllis’ fault.

Jack: Look, all we can do is be here for kyle when he needs us. In the meantime, we have other problems brewing.

[ Twig snaps ]

Mariah: I kickbox and I know how to use my pepper spray.

Kyle: At the same time? I’m scared.

Mariah: Oh, kyle.

[ Laughs ] It’s you.

Kyle: What was that warning for? Everything all right?

Mariah: No, it wasn’t– it wasn’t a warning, it was– listing my special skills. You know, like you do at the end of a resume. I juggle, I waterski, I speak french.

Kyle: None of which is true.

Mariah: Like you don’t lie on your resume, kyle?

Kyle: Oh, in terms of special skills, I got you beat. I know how to marry the woman of my dreams and turn her into the invisible woman with a heart of stone.

[ Mariah laughs ]

Mariah: I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I don’t mean to laugh, it’s just– you look awful. Like you’ve been sleeping on the wrong side of the bed.

Kyle: God, that’s odd, ’cause I’ve had the whole bed to myself.

Mariah: I– what can I say? Grief is– is rough.

Kyle: It’s true. But summer stopped grieving a long time ago.

Mariah: Kyle, it’s been three months. Her mother just died.

Kyle: Mariah, can you keep a secret?

Mariah: Why would you ask me that? You know I can’t keep a secret.

Kyle: Well, you have to keep this one.

Mariah: Um, okay. Yes, I can do that for you. So, what’s happening?

Kyle: It feels like everything’s happening. And what I do next will change the course of my and summer’s lives.

[ Door clicks open ]

Phyllis: Hi. Oh, gosh. I’ve been texting you like a crazy person.

Summer: Well, I have been busy.

Phyllis: I should think so after kyle showing up here.

Summer: I have bad news.

Phyllis: All right. How bad?

Summer: Everything is about to hit the fan.

Phyllis: Everything everything? Okay. You told kyle the whole truth, didn’t you? ( )

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. And we’re done.

Sally: You look like you need to go.

Nick: I really do. I have to check on sharon and faith. If I leave you here alone, will you be okay?

Sally: Um, yes. Yeah, yeah. I will be extra careful and I already have the voice assistant programmed on my phone. All I have to do is– hold on, watch this. Call nick.

[ Phone ringing ]

Nick: I mean, extra points for ingenuity. I’m not kidding. If you see this man again, you treat him like he is poison, okay?

Sally: Okay. But the same goes for you. Please don’t get into any more fist fights. Even if it is just an innocent wall.

Nick: I’ve called in backup. The right people are on alert. My dad’s security team, gcpd, they’re on this. Cameron kirsten’s time is up.

Kyle: So that’s what’s been going on. What do you think I should do?

Mariah: No, you– you can’t ask me to do that.

Kyle: You’re still my best friend.

Mariah: And as such, I’m obligated to tell you the truth.

Kyle: That’s what I want.

Mariah: No, I– I don’t think that’s actually what you want because if I tell you the truth, it could put our friendship at risk and I– I just can’t risk that.

Kyle: What could you possibly say that would ruin–

Mariah: I have tried very hard because you love her to see the good in summer and accept her. That’s what friends do. But friends also speak up when they see trouble. I don’t trust summer. I never have. I don’t know if I ever will. There. I said it. I’m sorry.

Kyle: You should have seen us in italy. We were so happy.

Mariah: But now you’re here in her natural habitat where she’s surrounded by people who encourage and normalize her bad behavior. I know that you love her, I do, and love is amazing, but the truth is, she chose her mother over you, kyle. She knew phyllis was alive and let your mother get blamed for phyllis’ murder. I– I mean, to me, that is reprehensible. And if you hate me for saying all of this, then you know what? So be it. I love you enough to risk losing you by telling you what’s in my heart. Which is more than I can say for your wife.

Summer: We left here, we went home, he started piecing everything together and I– I had to come clean. I didn’t have a choice.

Phyllis: Okay. Full disclosure, right? Okay. How’heak

Summer: It was horrible. And the insults that he was hurling at me, I mean…

Phyllis: Oh, summer, I’m so sorry–

Summer: No.

Phyllis: I’m so heartbroken over this. I’m so sorry.

Summer: He’s right though. He’s right about all of it. I mean, I– I chose you over everyone. I chose you over his mom and over him.

[ Scoffs ]

Phyllis: I’m sick about this. I really am.

[ Summer sighs ] I want to fix it. I’m sorry. Um, this is all my fault.

Summer: Yeah, it absolutely is, but you know what? We actually don’t have time for that right now because we need to go.

Phyllis: Why? What’s wrong?

Summer: Kyle is furious, mom. You’re no longer safe here. We need to leave.

Diane: I can’t believe a woman as brilliant and confident as ashley is rushing to marry that conman, tucker. And you really think it’s all part of a scheme to take over jabot?

Jack: All signs seem to point that way.

Diane: Well, should i look for another job to try and avoid a family war?

Jack: You aren’t going anywhere. Billy and I are working on figuring this out.

Diane: Well, I’m sure tucker is using ashley’s unfounded fears about her place in the company to provoke her. You know, maybe this was part of his plan all along when he wanted me to gather info about jabot. Maybe it’s part of his long game, something he’s been planning for months or years even?

Jack: Billy and i still don’t know who’s behind this, right now is how do we stop them?

Nick: Hey. I heard you had an eventful few hours?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Uh, yeah. That little girl is keeping me on my toes. Since I can’t watch her 24 hours a day yet, I bought this from the pharmacy. It’s a blood pressure monitor. Doctor said sally might not even need it, but I figured better safe.

Nick: Yeah, it’s good thinking.

Adam: Well, my girl deserves the best. Uh, when I said my girl, I meant the baby.

Nick: Yeah, I know who you were talking about.

Adam: You think I overstepped?

Nick: No, I think that’ll make sally feel better, so it’s smart.

>>Dam: Sure. Sure.

Nick: Hey, before you go, I have a favor to ask.

Adam: Okay.

Nick: I need you to look out for sally for me. I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Mariah: Summer chose her mother over you, okay? And the way that they’re always so busy, it’s like they’re– they’re plotting or scheming and that’s amazing. When that energy is– is focused towards merchandising and marketing, but it is awful when it’s towards friends and family.

Kyle: I’ve known summer for so long. I thought I knew what she was capable of.

Mariah: Summer is her mother’s daughter.

Kyle: That’s easy to say, but you don’t know her like I–

Mariah: I know you and we wouldn’t be sitting here having this conversation if she didn’t break your heart past healing. Kyle, summer has changed you in the following ways–

Kyle: Oh, stop it.

Mariah: No. You need an intervention. Summer is– is going to be summer, but if you’re okay with the lying and the manipulation and always being put in second for the rest of your life then I… I’m going to have to figure out a way not to be friends with you.

Kyle: What? You can’t do that. I– are you serious?

Mariah: No. Yes. Look, I– bottom line, I have a kid now. I cannot be around all of that recklessness. I just can’T.

Kyle: You think I want that for harrison? Full time chaos?

Mariah: You’re choosing it.

Kyle: She’s his mother.

Mariah: Okay. I’m very new at this whole parenting thing, so grain of salt, but at its most basic level, we are supposed to protect our kids, right? Keep them out of harm’s way.

Kyle: Of course.

Mariah: So, if phyllis and summer can do what they did to you and your mother and pretty much everyone else in town, they’re dangerous.

Kyle: What am i supposed to do, mariah?

Mariah: You know what, kyle. And I am so, so sorry.

Adam: What the hell is cameron even doing here? Hey, if he’s looking to cause trouble for anybody, you may need to do something–

Nick: If sharon told you about this guy, I’m sure she said that making smart decisions is not his strong suit.

Adam: I don’t even understand why they would let this guy on the street, so he can continue to torment sharon and hurt other people?

Nick: We are dealing with it, but until he’s out of town and no longer a threat–

Adam: I will look after sally and the baby. No problem.

Nick: I appreciate it. Thank you. And keep me posted if there are any problems.

Adam: Well, what is a problem is that you have now brought this chaos to sally’s door because it’s the last thing that she needs right now.

Nick: He is attacking the margins of sharon’s life, all right? From what I know, he doesn’t know who sally is or how she’s connected to me.

Adam: Yeah, and yet you are asking me to look out for her after you warned me to stay away. So that means you are worried and not just about the pregnancy, you’re worried about this freak.

Nick: We don’t even know if sally figures into his plans, but there’s no harm in being extra careful, right?

Adam: You know what I find telling, nick? Is during this time of crisis, two women in your life need attention and care and which one you’re choosing to focus on.

Nick: You gonna look after sally or not?

Adam: I already told you that I would.

Nick: Then, we’re done here.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Did kyle use those words? Did he say he was going to the police?

Summer: No.

Phyllis: No? Okay then. Good.

Summer: I haven’t talked to him since our fight though. There’s no reason he wouldn’t go to the police.

Phyllis: Except because he loves you.

Summer: How do i sneak you out of here?

Phyllis: Um, I don’t know. What does it look like on the outside? I mean, what are my chances of getting caught?

Summer: I talked to chance–

Phyllis: You talked to chance?

Summer: It’s not good, mom.

Phyllis: You talked to chance? Wow. Really? You talked to chance? And you’re getting tips from the police about your fugitive mom?

Summer: I was taking countermeasures, yes.

Phyllis: Okay, well, that’s smart. Devious too. I don’t know whether to be proud or cry, quite honestly.

Summer: Mom, are you ready to run?

Phyllis: What if I’m not?

Summer: How can you not be ready?

Phyllis: I’ve been hoping for the best all this time. Maybe I should prepare for the worst, summer. Maybe I should put an end to this and let chance arrest me.

Kyle: Hey, chance. You got a minute?

Chance: Actually, I don’T. I came to tell you exactly what I told your wife. There have been zero credible sightings of phyllis.

Kyle: Until now.

Chance: Who has seen her now?

Kyle: I have.

Chance: You know where she is?

Kyle: Follow me. And we’re done.

Summer: Grab your stuff, put on a wig, you’re not turning yourself in.

Phyllis: Okay, summer, hear me out. Just hear me out, okay? I call chance and I tell him where I am. And I’ll say, I wanted to keep on running but you fought me every step of the way.

Summer: That’s not what I want.

Phyllis: No, but everybody wins. Don’t you see that? Everyone. I mean, chance arrests a big fish, he gets a promotion, he gets accommodation. Kyle’s parents see you as the perfect daughter-in-law who sacrificed everything.

Summer: No, no.

Phyllis: It’s the only way out.

Summer: Mom, we have not struggled to keep you out of prison for this long just to give up now.

Phyllis: I want to give you your life back. You deserve to have your life back. A life that you love so much.

[ Sighs ]

Summer: You would really do that for me?

Phyllis: I’d do anything for you. Anything. Let’s do this.

Jack: This family has been through enough. If there is any way to cut off ashley’s coup attempt before it happens, I want to know about it.

Diane: And her biggest fear is that I’ll have a more powerful role at jabot.

Jack: Seems to be.

[ Diane sighs ]

Diane: Then, why don’t we scare the hell out of her? Promote me. Think about it. This way, we’d show them that the playing field is level and we are ready for battle. She doesn’t have the numbers or the support. She needs to know now before things get heated that we are ready to fight. We want peace, but we’re prepared for war.

Sally: What is that?

Adam: I– uh, I was walking through the pharmacy and I saw a blood pressure cuff.

Sally: And you thought of me? That is so depressing.

Adam: Well, I– I hope that you never need it. Too. Thank you.

Adam: If the next few months are as uneventful as I predict, just donate it to a worthy cause.

Sally: I will do that. It’s the worst gift ever, by the way.

Adam: Well, you’re gonna have to get used to putting on a lot of fake smiles for all the boring gifts from now on ’cause the baby will get all the good ones.

Sally: As it should be. Shouldn’t you be somewhere doing something?

Adam: The truth?

Sally: It’s always a good option.

Adam: I’m exactly where I need to be.

Sally: Hm. Did someone suggest you keep a watchful eye?

Adam: If nick and i are working together, you know it’s for a special cause.

Nick: You okay? Is it faith?

Sharon: Yeah. She’s leaving. I’m sending her away.

Nick: That’s smart. Just until we get this guy back in prison.

Sharon: I know, but–

Nick: You hate it that he’s got any power over you and you’re gonna miss your daughter like crazy. Or maybe this is dragging up some bad memories that you haven’t fully dealt with yet?

Sharon: I’m sorry.

Nick: No, sharon, don’T. Don’t apologize. I know where cameron is. I tracked him down. He’s at the athletic club.

Sharon: What happened?

Nick: I just, uh, let him know that we’re watching him and what will happen if he tries anything else.

Sharon: Do you think you got through to him?

Nick: I hope so. But I’m glad faith is taking off. Just in case this dirtbag tries to press his luck.

[ Banging on door ]

Chance: Gcpd, open up.

[ Knocking on door ] Phyllis, police. Phyllis? Are you sure–

Kyle: She was here.

Chance: Well, another dead end.

Kyle: No. Somebody tipped her off and helped her take off in a hurry. My wife. If you find summer, you’ll find phyllis.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nate: Is it wrong that I get excited when our podcast numbers come in? I know you’re not a fan.

Victoria: Actually, I’ve been listening to it on the treadmill. Yeah. Figured if you were so hot on it, then maybe it was something worth checking out.

Nate: Oh, okay. Um, and?

Victoria: And, well, that true crime series that you recommended is intense. I can see why it attracts so many listeners.

Nate: People can’t get enough of it. The ad sales are a major revenue stream.

Victoria: Well, you can’t argue that. Maybe we should reinvest some of that money into the genre and build on a good thing we have here.

Nate: Already on it.

Victoria: Of course you are. What are you smiling about?

Nate: Victor’s inviting me for drinks.

Victoria: Alone?

Nate: Uh, it just says sometime soon. Doesn’t sound pressing. What’s your best guess?

Audra: I think I know. I just saw victor at the athletic club. We were talking about you.

Billy: So then I said, “I quit, I’m out of here. I’m gonna sell my car, buy a motorcycle and hit the road and see where it takes me.” Then, guess what he said to me back?

Chelsea: Uh-huh.

Billy: Yeah? What did he say? What did you think?

Chelsea: What– what were you saying?

Billy: Nothing vaguely interesting, that’s pretty obvious.

Chelsea: I’m sorry.

Billy: It’s all right.

Chelsea: They released the numbers for the soft rollout for my game last week. You know how omegasphere was quietly testing the waters of their products?

Billy: Oh, yeah. I’m very aware. I’m actually playing and I’m doing pretty well. My– my emotional intelligence rating went from needs improvement to vaguely self-aware.

Chelsea: Hm. So, you’re the one who’s playing.

Billy: Oh, come on. Can’t be that bad.

Chelsea: I have the lowest user numbers for my game. It’s a dud.

Billy: It’s not a dud. It just– it takes time to find an audience. It’s gonna be all right. You know, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. How about I take you out for dinner? We can get your mind off of things?

Chelsea: You don’t have to do that.

Billy: It’s not exactly a chore. I’d like to.

Chelsea: Well, it doesn’t mean you should.

Nikki: Hi, darling.

Victor: Hello, sweetheart.

Nikki: Listen.

Victor: There we go.

Nikki: I just checked on sharon and faith and I am beyond upset. That human garbage poisoned faith’s cat and left it on the porch for her to find. She is devastated.

Victor: I’m well aware of it.

Nikki: That man has got to stop terrorizing our family.

Victor: Sweetheart, cameron kirsten will be taken care of.

Nikki: By whom? Because nicholas is not answering his phone and I’m worried he’s going to take matters into his own hand again.

Daniel: I don’t know how much longer I can take this.

Lily: Take what?

Daniel: I can’t say.

Lily: Daniel, how can I help you if I don’t know what’s going on?

Daniel: Things with my mom and my sister are about to explode and I am worried about the fallout.

Nick: Open up, cameron! I know you’re in there.

Cameron: Hi, nick. Took you long enough to find me.

Nick: You wanted to be found? Here I am.

Cameron: Now what? You gonna come in here and you’re gonna teach me a lesson? Boy, you are painfully predictable. We’re done.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Lily: Okay, what is going on with summer and phyllis and why are you worried?

Daniel: I haven’t been completely honest because I don’t want to risk implicating you.

Lily: Okay, this sounds serious.

Daniel: It is.

Lily: I–

[ Phone chiming ] I have a meeting I have to get to, but I’m gonna postpone it because I wanna hear what’s going on.

Daniel: No, no, no. Don’T. I’ve got some place I need to be too. Um… why don’t we meet up later and I’ll tell you everything?

Lily: Are you sure? You just said things are gonna explode.

Daniel: It’s better this way. I’d rather just text you when I’m free.

[ Lily sighing ]

Lily: Okay, I mean, it’s gonna be hard to concentrate on anything else, but I’m here for you, okay?

Billy: Did I do something wrong?

Chelsea: No. No. You have been as sweet and attentive and– and as loving as always.

Billy: Then why don’t you let me take you out for dinner?

Chelsea: Because you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.

Billy: But you do have to eat, don’t you?

Chelsea: It’s not what I mean.

Billy: Okay, well, I guess I don’t follow then.

Chelsea: You’re–

[ Chelsea sighing ] You’re trying to distract me from my worries. Keep me from thinking about what’s bothering me. You wanna save me. You wanna be my hero again.

Billy: I promise you, I will keep my cape at home. Hey, it’s just dinner.

Chelsea: Dr. Malone and I, we’ve been talking about us.

Billy: I thought we got the green light from her on us, you know, as long as we took our time and kept our eyes wide open.

Chelsea: Well, we’ve been talking about how we initially bonded. You saved me, literally. There’s no way around that.

Billy: Is that a bad thing?

Chelsea: No. But maybe, because of that, you feel like you have to keep saving me and I would never want you to feel that way. I’m– I’m doing well. I’m doing great, actually, but if I’m not, I never want you to feel like it’s because of something you did or didn’t do.

Billy: So, I’m not helping? I don’T…

Chelsea: You’ve been amazing, but it’s not your job to fix me. And even there’s a tiny part of you that feels like it is, we have to talk about it and figure out how to handle it.

Victoria: So, you think that you have better insights than I do as to why my father wants to have a drink with nate?

Audra: Oh, not at all. Um, it’s not a competition. I just, uh, thought I had an explanation and it would be valuable to share it.

Victoria: Please do.

Audra: Well, I spoke with victor after you two headed up to the corporate suite at the athletic club. You know, to go over those figures.

Victoria: Yes, I remember.

Audra: Well, victor seemed really interested in your working relationship. You know, he was quizzing me about it, and of course, I went out of my way to sing nate’s praises as a great boss.

Victoria: As well you should.

Audra: Yeah, well, we were talking, you two came downstairs and left together. That’s when he got really interested. You know, I talked up how inspiring the both of you are as leaders, how in sync you are, so I’m sure that’s why he wants to meet with nate. After the glowing report he got from me, I’m sure he wants to congratulate you on earning your employee’s respect. He probably wants to give you a bonus.

Victoria: Wow, you really do know how to read a situation, don’t you? That’s exactly right. That’s exactly the kind of effusive praise and gesture that my father is known for.

Nate: Thanks for putting in a good word.

Audra: Anytime.

[ Nate sighing ]

Nate: That was audra’s not so subtle way of saying victor saw us coming down the stairs and leave the athletic club together.

Victoria: Yeah, no kidding. So, what if he did?

Nate: Well, it does shed a new light on the timing of his drink offer.

Victoria: How so?

Nate: Does victor really want to sit down with the ceo of newman media, or is this a test of the new guy in his daughter’s life?

Victoria: Being tested by my father isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I think that means that he is taking you seriously. In my book, that’s a good sign.

Victor: So, in other words, you’re worried nicholas will go too far with this cameron kirsten slimeball?

Nikki: Yes, I am. He’s done it in the past and I– I know he’s working with chance and our security team to find him, but I also know his history with that maniac.

Victor: Sweetheart.

Nikki: He will do anything to protect sharon and faith.

Victor: A man must do what he feels he has to do to protect his family, that’s all.

Nikki: Yes, but you and i both know what instincts he’s having right now and after what cameron did to that poor cat, if nicholas finds him, he’s gonna lead with his fists–

Victor: Good.

Nikki: Not his head.

Victor: I’ll be there to back him up, if need be.

[ Nikki sighing ]

Nick: You wipe that smug look off your face, you coward. You’re terrorizing a mother and her daughter. You killed an innocent animal. What’s the matter with you? How’d they ever let you out of prison?

Cameron: I don’t know, man. The justice system, it’s a mystery, right? As far as killing innocent animals, I– I got no idea what you’re gassing on about. I’m here for one reason and one reason only, sharon.

Nick: Oh, you’re gonna stay away from her.

Cameron: Hm, not your call. You’re not married anymore. She’s fair game.

Nick: Are you insane? She despises you.

Cameron: I can change that. I think she’s warming up to me already. You’re in my personal space, nick.

Nick: You shut your mouth. Here’s how this is gonna play out. See, I told the police and newman security exactly who you are and what you’re capable of. If you so much as smile at sharon or faith, they’re gonna haul your ass back to prison before you can say “parole violation.”

Cameron: Empty threat. You got no grounds.

Nick: Your track record is grounds enough.

Cameron: I did my time. I’m reformed and I’ve got the parole board’s stamp of approval to prove it.

Nick: Sharon is not the same woman she was all those years ago when you manipulated her. She’s stronger, more confident and fearless now.

Cameron: Just as beautiful as the day I met her. And you are not gonna get between us this time. I promise you that. What are you gonna do? You gonna hit me? Because I got a legal right to defend myself, nick, so you go ahead. You take your best shot. Do it. Do it. Hit me!

Nick: Yeah, next time, it’ll be for real.

[ Cameron laughing ]

Today, my friend you did it, you did it, you did it…

Chelsea: I’ve upset you.

Billy: No, it’s okay. It’s all good.

Chelsea: It’s my fault. We should’ve had this conversation sooner.

Billy: So now we’re having a conversation on how to handle the situation. Let me ask you honestly. Um, do you feel like I have a need to play hero?

Chelsea: It’s not an indictment. I’m not saying you’re doing anything wrong.

Billy: But you’re talking about it with your therapist, so it’s bothering you, right? Or it’s bothering her.

Chelsea: I think you are wonderful and I adore you, but yeah, I think it bothers me a little bit that your instinct, if something’s bothering me, is to distract me.

Billy: It’s not– I mean, do you blame me for wanting to see you smile?

Chelsea: Yeah, but you can’t stop me from ever having an unhappy thought.

Billy: I feel like that’s a very natural thing, you know. I care about you, so I want to see you joyful. I want to see you happy.

Chelsea: Of course, but it’s not realistic to expect that all the time and you have to trust me that if I’m having an unpleasant thought, I can handle it, and if I can’t handle it, I’ll talk to you about it.

Billy: Okay, well, um, I gotta be honest, that does kind of bother me a little bit.

Chelsea: Do you wanna discuss it?

Billy: I do, but, um, look, I’m not dodging. I’m really not. I have to go meet victoria. We gotta talk about the kids, so, uh… can we just pick this up later?

Chelsea: Of course.

Billy: Okay. Bye. Hey.

Daniel: Hey.

Chelsea: Hey.

Daniel: Hey. [ Sighing ] Sorry I’m late. Been a hell of a day already.

Chelsea: I think I know the reason. It’s me, isn’t it. My game is a flop.

Nate: I should be getting back to my office.

Victoria: Well, before you do that, let’s strategize about this drink that you’re gonna be having with my father.

Nate: Well, I was thinking rye, neat.

[ Victoria laughing ]

Victoria: Let’s figure out what it is he wants and what your approach will be.

Nate: I appreciate your offer, but I’ve been through a lot over the years with victor newman. I’m not worried about a little one-on-one time with him.

Victoria: Well, you know, plenty of men would be unnerved by an invite from victor newman.

Nate: I’m not your ordinary guy.

Victoria: No, you are not and it is undeniable sexy how this doesn’t throw you, not even in the least.

Nate: Mm. I’m finding that few things intimidate me lately. It makes the possibilities seem endless. And I have you to thank for that.

Lily: Well, no, I don’t care if the gaming bloggers want stats now, they’ll get them when I saw say so. Okay. Hi.

Billy: Hi.

Lily: Um, I haven’t seen you, since, uh…

Billy: Since our very awkward double date?

Lily: Yes. That was interesting with the kids, too.

Billy: Yeah, that was weird, even by my standards.

[ Lily chuckling ]

Lily: It was fine though, I mean, once we all loosened up.

Billy: Yeah. So, how are you and– and daniel doing?

Lily: Uh… slow and steady. How are you and chelsea?

Billy: Same-ish. Maybe a little bit more wobbly than steady.

Lily: I mean, I don’t want to pry, but is– is everything okay?

Billy: Yeah, everything’s fine. You know, I just spent most of my life waiting for other people to solve my problems and now, I’m swinging in the other direction.

Lily: Right. Fixing problems you haven’t been asked to.

Billy: Problems, situations, people.

Lily: Well, I am happy that you’re thinking about it.

Billy: Yeah, not sure I would have if certain people didn’t bring it to my attention.

Lily: Now, you just gotta find that balance between saving the world and falling apart.

Billy: Seems easy, huh?

[ Lily laughing ]

Lily: One of the hardest balancing acts I know.

Billy: Something to aspire to.

Cameron: You’re gonna wanna to get some ice on that, sport. That’s gonna leave a bruise.

Nick: You’re gonna check out of this hotel and you’ll be gone in the morning.

Cameron: You’re not hearing me, nick. You’re gonna have to drag me out of here in a bag! I got no intention of leaving. I got things to do, women to seduce. And guess what? I’m free to do that. I have broken no law and I haven’t hurt anyone or anything, be it human, feline or inanimate.

Nick: You have been harassing sharon since you got here.

Cameron: Oh, come on, man. I– I’ve seen her once in the coffee shop and you were there for most of it.

Nick: Which is why I know exactly what your intentions are.

Cameron: Hey, you know what? It– it’s kind of sweet how protective you are of your ex-wife. A little sad because she no longer wants or loves you, but super sweet.

Nick: You are going to stay away from sharon and faith and you will be gone by the morning.

Cameron: Or what?

Nick: You don’t want to find out. My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Victoria: Well, I would like to continue this discussion, but I have a meeting.

Nate: Oh, anything I should tag along for?

Victoria: Unfortunately, no. It’s personal, it’s not business.

Nate: And here I thought I was both.

Victoria: Aw, you very much are. I won’t be long, I promise. And feel free to use the office. Knowing that you’re waiting for me here will give me an excellent reason to hurry back.

Audra: Well, well. You don’t seem to be wasting any time, are you?

Nate: What do you want, audra?

Audra: Well, just to admire how you operate. The fact that you and victoria ever get any work done is impressive.

Daniel: I promise that my poor mood has nothing to do with your game. It will find its audience, I am not worried. I mean, I’m dealing with some other stuff and its personal, it’s not professional.

Chelsea: Of course. You’re still grieving the loss of your mom. And here I am making it about myself. I’m so sorry for– for projecting my insecurities onto you.

Daniel: Don’t apologize. Look, you just launched your baby out into the world. Of course you’re gonna be feeling vulnerable.

Chelsea: It’s crazy, right? How a game can make you feel so protective? How things like user reports can make you feel so vulnerable and insecure?

Daniel: Mm, I’ve seen the numbers from the soft launch. They’re not through the roof.

Chelsea: Yeah. That’s putting it nicely.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. But we are getting good word of mouth on social media.

Chelsea: You are?

Daniel: We are. Yeah, it’s like our mental health consultant said, people, they are more willing to talk about their emotional struggles online, and it seems like they are seeking guidance outside of traditional avenues. We’re poised to be that.

Chelsea: How can you tell?

Daniel: I was monitoring this discussion thread this morning and people were already pointing to your game as a positive tool for dealing with anxiety.

Chelsea: Really?

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: Huh. Is it ironic that I’ve been too anxious to look?

Daniel: I totally get that. Um, besides, you know, people online, they can be vicious, but take a look at this.

Chelsea: “This game has helped me practice how I talk to my mom about how upset it makes me when she yells at me.” Hm.

Daniel: You know what that means?

Chelsea: It means we’re actually helping people.

Daniel: We are actually helping people and that is worth a hell of a lot more than numbers.

Billy: Hi.

Victoria: Hi. Thanks for meeting me.

Billy: Of course. You said this is about the kids. Is everybody okay?

Victoria: Oh, yeah. Everybody’s fine. Um, well, we were talking at breakfast and uh, the kids are both very excited about camp.

Billy: Yeah. I’m trying not to take it personal that they can’t wait to get away from us for a whole summer.

Victoria: Well, you should brace yourself because johnny brought up boarding school.

Billy: And I hope you assured him that we don’t plan on sending him this year.

Victoria: Oh, no, not exactly. He wants to go. At first, I thought he was kidding, but uh, he’s not, and then katie got all excited about the idea, so I told them that I would talk to you about it.

Billy: So, today’s the day I find out that nobody actually needs me anymore.

Victoria: What? Where’s that coming from?

Billy: Don’t worry about it. Um, look, you know how I feel about boarding school.

Victoria: Oh, yeah. You hate it.

Billy: Yeah. My own personal experience wasn’t exactly warm and fuzzy.

Victoria: Well, this is about johnny and katie, billy. It’s not about you.

Billy: You’re right. You’re right. And if this is what they want and we visit often, then I’m not gonna say no.

Victoria: So, is that a yes?

Billy: It’s a reluctant one, but I guess this is, you know, good continuity from last year and it is a great place for both their passions.

Victoria: Yes, yes. That is exactly how I feel. Johnny would be able to continue the coding classes that he loves and our daughter has straight as, so she can spend all of her free time horseback riding.

Billy: And you’ve really thought about this. Where’s all this enthusiasm coming from?

Victoria: Well, it’s what the kids want.

Billy: You sure this doesn’t have anything to do with your budding relationship with nate? When you really need to sleep.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. Sweet pillows of softness!

Victoria: I hope that you’re not implying that I wanna ship the kids off because it would give me more time to date because you are way too smart to say something so stupid, billy.

Billy: That’s never stopped me before. But you’re right, it’s none of my business.

Victoria: Was that supposed to be an apology?

Billy: Vic, I know that you would never put some guy above our kids and I’m sorry, that was a jerk thing to say.

Victoria: Yes, it was. Where did that come from?

Billy: I don’t know.

[ Billy chuckling ] You know, earlier today, I got chastised for doing something that I thought was the right thing to do and now, I’m taking it out on you.

Victoria: Me seeing nate isn’t gonna be a problem for us, right? Because I’m not sending the kids away, I’m just letting them gO. Those are two very different things. You know, I– I wanna give them the best and if that includes some new school adventure, even though it breaks my heart because I’m not gonna see them every day, I wanna give them that.

Billy: No, you’re right. And it is gonna be hard, but it’s the right thing to do for them.

Victoria: And where did this come from? That nobody needs you anymore? I mean, the kids need both of us, just in different ways.

Billy: Now, I feel really bad because you’re being so nice and I was an ass.

Victoria: Look, holding on to the kids just because it makes us feel better to have them around isn’t gonna do them any good. We have to give them space, and then, we’re their safety net if they ever need us.

Daniel: Chelsea, this game, it was never about zombies or unicorns. It’s about finding real solutions to human problems. That means seeing things from a new perspective. You know, real change? It’s hard. You have to trust, you have to commit, it takes time and it can be scary.

Chelsea: I can attest to that.

Daniel: Yeah. You’re a living, breathing example. I mean, you’ve taken all your pain and all your struggles and you’ve turned it into something positive. Omegasphere.

[ Chelsea laughing ]

Chelsea: Omegasphere.

Daniel: I hope you’re proud of what you’ve accomplished.

Chelsea: Well, I’m getting there, thanks to you. I mean, you should be proud too, you know. You took a chance on me when not many people would have. You’re a good guy who wants to do good things.

Nick: Your security team’s tip was right. Cameron was at the athletic club. He needs to be watched 24/7.

Victor: How did you know that?

Nick: I went and, uh, confronted him there.

Nikki: Oh, my god. This is exactly what I was worried about.

Victor: Did you touch him?

Nick: No, sir. Not a hair on his head.

Victor: There, you see.

Nikki: Oh, my god. Your knuckles.

Nick: The wall wasn’t so lucky.

Victor: Right cross? Uh-huh. Well then, he got lucky.

Nick: I’m sure I got his attention.

Nikki: Yeah, and maybe a broken hand.

Nick: I’m fine, mom.

[ Phone ringing ]

Nikki: It’s the office. I have to take this. Please promise me you won’t do anything rash until I deal with this.

Victor: Okay, there, sweetheart.

Nick: What happened to that security guard who had his uniform stolen?

Victor: That loser? Stuffed in a closet. Stripped down to his underwear, for heaven’s sake. I fired his ass.

Nick: Good.

[ Phone chiming ]

Victor: Oh. I spoke with nate hastings about having a drink with him. Um… okay.

Nick: So, our family is dealing with a stalker, but you have time to go and socialize with an opportunist?

Victor: You’re saying that whilst being involved with an opportunist?

Nick: What does that mean?

Victor: Sally spectra is a noose drawn around your neck. Don’t you see it? Especially now that she’s pregnant with your brother’s child.

Nick: You have no idea what you’re talking about, all right? Cameron’s a threat to our family right now, but you’re wasting time taking shots at the mother of your next grandkid.

Victor: And cameron kirsten will be dealt with. Sally spectra, from now on, will be part of our lives. Ever wonder why kit kats are so delightfully crispy?

[ Daniel sighing ]

Lily: Hi. Oh, wow.

Daniel: Do you have any idea how much I appreciate you?

Lily: I mean, that hug gave me an idea, but I feel like something else is going on.

Daniel: I met with chelsea, talked about the early response to her game.

Lily: Oh, god. I know. I meant to call her and tell her not to look at downloads or active player numbers and just focus on the good the game is doing.

Daniel: I told her the same thing, but I bet she would appreciate hearing it from you too.

Lily: Yeah. I’ll call her, for sure, but hey, what is going on with phyllis and summer and why have you been keeping it from me?

[ Daniel sighing ]

Daniel: As much as I want to be completely honest with you, telling you compromises both of us, so if you don’t want anything to do with it, I’ll just keep it to myself.

Lily: Hey, whatever it is, it’s okay. You can tell me.

Daniel: My mother is hiding out at a room at the athletic club. Cops could be at her door at any second.

Chelsea: Okay, well, it’s definitely not what I wanted to hear, but thank you for letting me know. Bye.

Billy: What happened?

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Chelsea: That was connor’s teacher. He, apparently, is not raising his hand in class and he’s keeping to himself during free time. She thinks he’s shutting down.

Billy: Mm.

Chelsea: I thought he was pulling himself out of this mood. Apparently, it’s just gotten worse.

Billy: Well, I’m dying to figure out a way to fix this, or at least, distract you from being worried, but I won’T.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Billy: Instead, I will ask you, do you need advice? Reassurance? Or just someone to vent to?

Chelsea: You have given me enough reassurance just by making it clear you trust me to handle this on my own.

Billy: I’m learning. It’s an imperfect process.

Chelsea: Right? We’re doing our best. It’s all we can do. So, I think I’m just gonna talk to connor tonight and try to get through to him and maybe some ice cream will help.

Billy: Now that is a good idea.

Chelsea: Uh-huh. One step at a time, right? One day at a time. Thank you for helping.

Billy: I don’t feel like I did anything.

Chelsea: You listened. And now, let me return the favor. What can I do for you?

Nate: You might want to work on your discretion. You shouldn’t talk about your bosses at the office like that.

Audra: Uh, you and I have an agreement. I didn’t think I needed to pretend like I don’t know what’s going on.

Nate: You don’t, with me, but you might want to back off with being so blatant with victoria.

Audra: Well, I think she enjoys a sparring partner. If she respects me as someone who will speak her mind, I’ll be well positioned to take over when she promotes you.

[ Nate chuckling ]

Nate: I appreciate your positive thinking about my ascendance, as well as your own.

Audra: Like I said, we’re in this together.

Nate: By the way, I used the information you shared about the tech team’s video production capabilities to impress victoria with an idea I had for newman’s real estate division.

Audra: Clever. Making newman media useful to newman enterprises. Oh, and I looked at those upcoming negotiations with our ad buyer you– you mentioned and I was able to work some magic.

Nate: So, our mutual aid club is working.

Audra: Which is why I wanna get back to what I walked in on earlier: Victor’s drink invitation. He’s on to you.

Nate: We’re not concerned.

Audra: Well, he may not mind your relationship, but you don’t want him thinking that, you know, you are slacking on the job and encouraging victoria to do the same.

Nate: Victor doesn’t strike me as a clock watcher. He’s a man about results, not hours behind a desk.

Audra: Hm. If you say so.

Nate: Now, nick newman, on the other hand…

Audra: Yeah, he could definitely be an issue. You know, it’s clear he considers you a threat and that is not a man who will back off easily.

Nick: What is your real issue with sally? Because dad, this goes far beyond the protective father thing.

Victor: It’s very simple. You’re wasting your time and energy. You have other things to worry about.

Nick: Dad, you are the one who is fixated on this pregnant woman who has done nothing to you. You need to be focused on the threat that cameron poses.

Victor: And I am, and I will deal with that bastard, but you forget about sally spectra. You start paying attention to sharon and faith, who really need you. I’m here for the dunkin’ run, campaign, commercial.

Billy: What makes you think that I need something?

Chelsea: I can see the concern in your eyes.

Billy: I guess I’m a little knocked off my game. You know, it’s– it’s bad enough that the kids are gonna be gone at summer camp all– all summer, but… now victoria told me that the kids want to go to boarding school next fall and I’m sad and I’m confused because they don’t need me in the same way anymore.

Chelsea: Billy, that is hard. I’m sorry. And I wish I could fix it for you, but–

Billy: But you won’T.

Chelsea: No, but I will ask you a question that a very wise friend recently asked me. Do you want advice? Reassurance? Or just to vent?

Billy: Definitely the last two, with a double scoop of chocolate chip mint ice cream.

Chelsea: Oh, my treat.

Billy: Mm.

Chelsea: Let’s go talk.

Victoria: Oh, hi. I’m glad you’re still here.

Nate: Then, why do you sound on edge?

[ Victoria sighing ]

Victoria: Well, my meeting was with billy and, um, we almost got into an argument. Well, we worked it out, but he made a jab that kinda got under my skin.

Nate: Why do I suspect it was about me?

Victoria: Well, it wasn’t about you, specifically. It was more the idea of us. I think that what we have is confusing to people. They can’t categorize it, so they– they don’t understand it.

Nate: They’re not wrong.

Victoria: What do you mean by that?

Nate: To some, it might look like we’re just colleagues with benefits.

Victoria: I consider you much more than that.

Nate: So, maybe we make it official. How about I take you on a date? And not another one of our working meetings.

Victoria: Are you serious? Like, cocktails and dinner?

Nate: Maybe even dessert and dancing.

Victoria: All right. You’re on.

Nick: You know, you just don’t understand my relationship with sally. That’s fine. Just keep it to yourself, all right? I’ve had it up to here with your judgment.

Victor: Really?

Nick: Yes, sir. Excuse me. I’ve got a lot to do.

Nikki: What happened?

Victor: Hi, sweetheart. Um… to put it simply, our son is… spread too thin. He has a lot of things to deal with.

Nikki: Well, we both agree on that. I just don’t want his temper to get him into trouble.

Cameron: Jimmy, hey. Got a job for you. This one’s gonna require a face-to-face. Bring your right hook, you’re gonna need it.

[ Cameron breathing deeply ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: These, uh, check-ins really aren’t necessary. I could be much more productive actually working at mccall. Don’t you think?

Victor: I’ll be the judge of that, really.

Adam: And what is it you wanted to discuss?

Victor: Well, my goodness, if it isn’t jack and billy boy abbott.

Billy: I feel like I’m witnessing a nature documentary here with the two newmans out in the wild. Leader of the pack showing the young upstart how to take over the world.

Adam: You see, this is why I’d rather be at the office ’cause they let guys like him in here.

Jack: How are you two gentlemen doing this glorious morning?

Adam: Well, jack, you are in a good mood given the circumstances.

Jack: Oh, circumstances be damned. Everything’s coming up roses for me. Personal life and professional.

Victor: Ain’t that something? You know, I think you’ve been around your own perfume too much. You seem delirious.

Jack: Oh, how so?

Victor: You let my son go and you put billy boy abbott into his position. And I understand that you are engaged to of all people, diane jenkins.

Jack: I am sorry, victor. Nothing you say can possibly spoil my mood this morning.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

[ Nate sighs ]

Audra: Nate. Uh, come join me. Well, we can have an impromptu strategy session. Or we can go somewhere else, uh, more private if you want.

Nate: Audra, I’m sorry, but, um, I have to get–

Victoria: Oh, hey.

Audra: Oh, uh, I didn’t know you two decided to meet. Anything I can do to help?

Victoria: Uh, thanks, but no. Nate and I, we have a few things that we need to hash out. You know, I just remembered, I left a couple of those files up in the newman executive suite.

Audra: Oh, uh, newman keeps a suite here?

Victoria: Yeah, we have for years.

Nate: Well, um, we might as well just discuss it up there then? I’ll loop you in later if necessary.

Tucker: Don’t you just hate when that happens? You work so hard and then you get dismissed because you just don’t rank high enough for one of those kinds of intimate one-on-one meetings.

Sharon: You would think that you brilliant college kids could come up with a better name for your dorm cat than borgnine. Don’t you think?

[ Faith laughs ]

Faith: But when you see him, he’s totally a borgnine. Definitely not a fluffy or a felix. Where is borgy anyway? He wasn’t upstairs. I thought he was down here.

Sharon: Oh. It’s just an alert about a sale at fenmore’S. It’s nothing about cameron.

Faith: Good. Maybe that jerk finished getting his kicks out of playing his sick little mind games and left.

Sharon: I hope so. But, you know, we need to stay on alert just in case he is still around.

Faith: I was thinking about going out for a little bit. That’s okay, right?

Sharon: Um, I don’t know if that’s such a good idea right now.

Faith: I’m just going to the tack house to see the baby. I– I promise I won’t go off the ranch property.

Sharon: Okay. That should be safe, but stay close and be careful.

Faith: I will.

[ Both screaming ]

Sharon: Faith, what happened? Are you all right?

Faith: Borgnine. He’s not breathing. I think he’s dead.

[ Sharon gasps ]

Sharon: Oh, my god. Faith, get in the house now. All right. I’m gonna call chance. You call your dad now. Now.

Summer: Morning.

[ Kyle sighs ] Did you get some sleep?

Kyle: How could I? Did you?

Summer: Is anyone else here?

Kyle: I sent harrison out with the nanny. Everyone else has left for the day.

Summer: So early.

Kyle: Yeah. Maybe now, you’ll finally come clean and tell me the truth.

Keep it quilted means

you keep it the best.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Summer: You already know the truth. I mean, as crazy as it is, you know everything that’s important.

Kyle: Do I? Do I know the whole truth really?

Summer: Kyle, my mom is alive. Don’t you see how incredible that is? And your mom is off the hook.

Kyle: You never answered my question.

Summer: What question?

Kyle: Last night, I asked you and I wanna know, how long have you known phyllis was alive?

Summer: You know how long I’ve known. You’re the one that told me that daniel saw her. I mean, what– what difference does it make anyway?

Kyle: It makes a big difference and you know it. So just tell me, tell me, when was the first time you saw phyllis?

Summer: Yesterday. Just like you. And, uh, no, I didn’t call you the second I got in there. And maybe– maybe that was a mistake, but I was so overwhelmed seeing my mom and I wasn’t hiding the truth from you.

Kyle: No, you didn’t seem that overwhelmed when I got there.

Summer: That’s because I had been in the room for a second at that point. I had a little bit of time to get used to seeing my mom.

[ Kyle sighs ]

Kyle: You didn’t have that much time. I was following you, summer. I wasn’t that far behind you. I know you didn’t have enough time to react to phyllis being alive. A few minutes at most, that is not enough time to get used to the fact that your mother, who you believed was dead was standing there alive and well in front of you. So just tell me.

Summer: I’ve told you!

Kyle: You have known a lot longer, haven’t you?

Summer: Kyle, come on.

Kyle: Why can’t you just be honest with me?

Summer: I don’t even know why you would think that. I don’T.

Kyle: Okay, I had all night to think back on everything has happened. So many interactions. Little things that just didn’t make sense at the time.

Summer: What are you talking about?

Kyle: The arguments between you and your brother, phrases you used in fights, little glances. Even last night when phyllis said she hid out nearby so she could be close to her kids. That was not the first time she reached out to you.

Summer: I don’t know why she didn’T.

Kyle: Summer, that could not have been the first time you saw your mother. What about yesterday when I found you at the club after you said you were going to work?

Summer: Wait, is that why you started following me around like a criminal?

Kyle: No, that’s not the reason I was following you, but I’m glad I did. All of the times that you ran off without an explanation and lame ones at best, you were going to see phyllis, weren’t you? When were you gonna tell me what you’ve been hiding?

Victor: Jack, I really hope that just because diane is not declared a murderer doesn’t mean that she won’t send your life down to rack and ruin.

Jack: Oh, victor, I am far too happy with diane’s freedom and jabot’s latest profit projections to let you get to me today.

Victor: Well, isn’t that nice?

Billy: And you know me, I’m not one to pat myself on the back, but I will take some credit for the profit margins off the men’s product line. You know the one that you dropped the ball on, adam?

[ Adam laughs ]

Adam: You must be very proud. Grooming products for men. It’s like you’re starting a revolution, billy.

Jack: We are shooting for the moon these days, adam. With billy by my side and diane free and happy, nothing’s stopping us.

Victor: Do me a favor, jack and just keep diane jenkins grubby hands away from my wife’s jewelry. That would be a move in the right direction.

Billy: On that note?

Jack: Yeah.

Adam: Enjoy your breakfast.

Billy: Thank you.

Chance: Okay. You two are good to relax now. I got an officer taking your cat in for examination. Two others searching the property. I would like to ask you a couple questions.

[ Door clicks open ]

Nick: You guys okay?

Faith: I’m fine. Just a little shaken up, that’s all.

Sharon: Yeah, me too, but we’re gonna be fine, okay? We’ll be all right.

Nick: What happened?

Sharon: Faith was on her way to the tack house when she found the cat that she brought home from college just laying on the front doorstep, dead.

Faith: Poor borgnine.

Chance: Do you know how old the cat was or if he had any signs of illness?

Faith: I don’t know his exact age, but he was in good health. I took him to the vet right before I left for break. He had all his shots and a full exam.

Chance: Okay. Well, we’re gonna get our forensics team to examine him, see if we can find out exactly what happened, okay?

Nick: That’s good. But I’m pretty sure I know what those results are gonna say.

Sharon: So do I. There’s no doubt in my mind about what happened, nick. This was cameron’s doing.

Nick: That bastard could still be on the ground somewhere.

Chance: We got that covered. Don’t worry about it.

Nick: I’m gonna go find him myself.

Chance: There’s no need. I got a full team searching the property. Let the professionals handle it.

Nick: Nobody knows this property better than me. I know where to look.

Chance: Nick. Nick!

Today, my friend you did it, you did it, you did it…

Billy: So, what’s up?

Jack: You sound suspicious.

Billy: Well, something’s going on. I can tell by the way you were grandstanding with victor. Not everything is perfect right now, is it?

Jack: We have had our share of triumphs lately, but there has been a recent very troubling development.

Billy: What is that?

Jack: I assume you haven’t spoken with ashley recently?

Billy: No, not lately. Why?

Jack: She made quite an announcement last night at the house.

Billy: Good news? Bad news?

Jack: She and tucker are planning on getting married as soon as possible.

Audra: Just so you know, tucker, I happen to have had private meetings with nate up in my own suite.

Tucker: Hmm. But not the same caliber of meeting that victoria’s getting right about now.

Audra: Our meetings are the kind that I prefer. Strictly business.

Tucker: Is your name audra charles?

Audra: Yes, tucker.

Tucker: ‘Cause I don’t remember any of our meetings being strictly business.

Audra: That was the past.

Tucker: Ah!

Audra: Mm-hmm. I am focused on the bigger prize now. The top spot at newman media.

Tucker: Yeah, but nate. Hmm. Nate. He gets under your skin, don’t he? And it’s just killing you right now how close he’s getting to victoria.

[ Audra sighs ]

Nate: Now, where did you say you put those files?

Victoria: I don’t know. Maybe they’re in the bed under the sheets. Did you look there?

Nate: No, but that looks like a much more comfortable place for files than that hard desk in your office.

Victoria: I think that work can wait. I mean, newman media’s bottom line is doing great these days.

[ Laughs ] Our campaigns are successful. Our bottom line is up. I think that we deserve to take some time off. Celebrate all of our hard work.

Nate: I agree.

Victoria: Yeah.

Nate: Our ratings are up too. Our audiences across all platforms has almost doubled.

Victoria: Really? Tell me more.

Nate: Our demographics are right on target.

Victoria: Right? What does that do to our bottom line?

Nate: The second quarter projections will outperform.

Victoria: Mm-hmm. Year to date or rolling 12 months?

Nate: Uh, it will exceed every quarter in the last three fiscal.

Victoria: Oh, god. Speaking of outperforming.

Adam: Well, leaving jabot was the right move.

Victor: Jack abbott is so full of hot air.

Adam: Yeah, you were right about that all along. There was no way that I was gonna fit in there. God. All those abbotts.

Victor: Very glad you are ready to move on, son.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Victor: Now, let’s talk about mccall. I have some– some ideas.

Adam: Okay. Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Before you go any further, I’m already in the process of making some major moves in the company. I’m planning on shaking up a few things around there.

Kyle: I know you, summer. I can tell you are hiding something from me. I hate to ask you this, but can I see your phone?

Summer: Wait. Are you serious? Kyle, there’s nothing on my phone.

Kyle: Then, you will prove me wrong and I will feel horrible about it. And if that happens, I will apologize profusely. What are these?

Summer: What?

Kyle: All of these texts from a number that’s not in your contacts. “Let’s meet, please.” “Where are you?”

Summer: I– I don’t know. I don’t know that number.

Kyle: “We need to talk.” “Bring bro for fam peace.” All of these messages from the same number. And you replied. These were from phyllis, weren’t they? But it– it sounds like she hadn’t seen daniel. I– how could that be? He told us he’d seen her, that’s how he knew for sure she was alive.

Summer: Kyle, can we please drop this?

Kyle: No, daniel wasn’t the first one she reached out to. He wasn’t the first one who saw her alive. It was you. You were the one she reached out to from the beginning, but– but why? Why? Or because you were the one she knew would lie for her.

Summer: Yeah. [ Sniffling ] She knew that I would help her. That to protect her I would look you in your eyes and lie to your face.

[ Sobbing ] If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Kyle: What the hell, summer? You lied about something that directly affected all of our lives for months. How could you do that?

Summer: But kyle, it’s over. It’s finally over. I’m relieved that this secret is out. I– I hated having to lie to you.

Kyle: No, no, no, no. You didn’t have to lie.

Summer: You’re right. But kyle, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Yes, I am furious at my mom for what she did and the position that she put me in, but I was just so happy that she was even alive.

Kyle: Come on.

Summer: I– I was desperate to keep her out of jail.

Kyle: No. So, wait. Daniel was covering for you all this time? Why? What would make him do that? Why would it have been so bad if you were the one who shared your mother’s secret?

Summer: I don’t know. He just didn’t want me to have to deal with the questions or accusations, I guess.

Kyle: No, he was protecting you. If you saw phyllis first, that means you saw her when my mother was in jail. You could have cleared my mother’s name and set her free. You could have gotten her out of that god awful place, but instead, you decide to sit back and do nothing!

Billy: We gotta stop this. You know that, right? I mean, there’s no way that we can let ashley marry that conman.

Jack: Ashley marrying tucker mccall would be a colossal mistake, but I don’t know how we’re gonna stop it.

Billy: I don’t know either. But we gotta do something. I mean, we can’t just sit here and let our sister put her faith in that scam artist.

Jack: I’d like to think ashley would realize that herself.

Billy: You know, I was gonna give him the benefit of the doubt until all of this coup stuff started to happen. Because I guarantee you, he is the one driving this.

Jack: Well, I’m not gonna be the one to talk her out of it. She doesn’t listen to me. Listen, I have tried to reason with her for months to no avail.

Billy: How does she not learn her lesson?

Jack: You know, when they first mentioned this engagement, I thought it was just a jab at diane after she’d gotten her freedom, but no, I’m starting to think this wedding is imminent.

Billy: Not if I have anything to say about it.

Jack: Ashley keeps saying that her relationship with tucker is just like my relationship with diane. It is nothing like it. They have nothing in common.

Billy: No, but, you know, let’s just be honest, right? They both have a scandalous past of bad behavior.

Jack: Hold on. She caught him red-handed with jabot financial documents in his hotel suite. She knew he was coming after the family company. She alerted us so we could stop him. Now, we’re supposed to just forget that?

Billy: No. No, ashley’s too smart for that. I don’t think any of this is forgotten.

Jack: What does that mean?

Billy: I think she has something up her sleeve with this marriage thing. It’s too calculated. And I don’t know if tucker’s involved or not, but I guarantee you it has something to do with jabot.

Adam: So, I’ve been, uh, doing my research and mccall desperately needs to be streamlined. It’s crucial that we cut the fat and we sell it off.

Victor: Like what?

Adam: The music department. It’s the company’s least profitable sector and it’s weighing the company down. There’s absolutely no upside.

Victor: Do you realize that music is the very foundation of what tucker built? It’s it cornerstone.

Adam: It was. But going forward, I’ll be focused on newer media and the streaming divisions.

Victor: You realize that a move like that will put you in direct competition with newman media?

Adam: Exactly.

[ Door clicks open ]

Sharon: Oh, good. You’re back.

Nick: There’s no sight of him anywhere. Ranch security and gcpd are combing the property.

Sharon: I think I was more worried that you would find him.

Nick: I’m sure he is long gone. He’d be a fool to stick around and risk getting caught.

Chance: If he was even here. We don’t even know how the cat died yet.

Faith: I’m gonna head upstairs and start calling my friends to break the sad news. They trusted me with borgnine.

Sharon: That’s a very good idea. I’m gonna come up and check on you soon. Look, I know you have your doubts. And as a detective, you don’t wanna jump to conclusions, I get that, but I am more than certain that this was cameron’s doing. I feel it in my gut. Just like the packages he sent me at crimson lights, and right here, right out there on this doorstep. These are messages for me from a madman.

Chance: If they are messages, what do they mean?

Sharon: They’re warnings of what’s to come. (Chef vo) fancy feast.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. When it comes to your hair, ingredients matter.

Victor: Son, I gave you mccall to bring you back into our family. Not to use it as a weapon against your sister.

Adam: Okay, you’re assuming the worst of my intentions. That’s not what I’m doing. This, it’s simply good business.

Victor: It isn’T. Not when your last name is newman. You’re cutting off your nose to spite your face, son.

Adam: I don’t have any stake in newman enterprises. I accepted your offer to run mccall. That’s where my focus is. That’s my only concern and priority right now.

Victor: Your priority should be your family above all else.

Adam: Can I assume that you’re gonna have this conversation with victoria when she comes after me?

Victor: Let me warn you, going after newman media is a declaration of war and I will not have it.

Adam: Dad, I am not out to obliterate newman media. I wanna take it over. It was mine to begin with. Do you remember? Do you remember what we created before victoria snatched it away from me? All I wanna do is bring it back to where it started. You see, it’s about family.

Nate: That’s nice.

Victoria: So good.

Nate: Yeah, I like it. You really liked those second quarter numbers, didn’t you?

[ Victoria laughs ]

Victoria: I know that it’s weird, but I just get turned on mixing business and pleasure. That’s just so satisfying on so many different levels.

Nate: I agree. I’m glad you’re satisfied.

Victoria: Well, I admire your determination, and I really love this little distraction, but you know we have work to do.

Nate: Okay. Good. You know, I was looking at newman’s website for, uh, the real estate development. I had an idea.

Victoria: Please tell me. I’m all ears.

Nate: What if my tech team updated the site with virtual tours of the properties currently under construction? It would show off our outstanding work in various stages of production while highlighting our high profile client list. It could make for a great marketing tool. Don’t you think?

[ Victoria chuckles ]

Victoria: I love that you took the initiative to think of something like this. But I mean, I like it. I do, I’m gonna run it past my mother and nick, and see if they’re interested in investing in the concept.

Nate: YeaH. [ Clears throat ]

Victoria: What’s wrong? You’re not worried about my brother, are you?

Nate: I just hope he doesn’t get the wrong idea about my suggestion. I’d hate for him to claim that I’m overstepping again and working on some power play out of my purview.

Victoria: You don’t have to worry about nicholas. I’ll handle my brother.

Audra: Nate and victoria’s growing relationship doesn’t bother me a bit. The closer they get, the better it is for my game plan.

Tucker: Okay. If that’s the truth, then I admire your resolve. But seriously, I also know you. And I know that behind all the manipulations and schemes, you got a big heart.

Audra: Well, um, even if I did have lingering feelings for nate, it’s not like I could do anything about them. Interfering with his budding romance with our boss would ruin everything that I’ve been working so hard for.

Tucker: Oh, that’s a shame.

Audra: Yeah. I guess my only choice is to keep my distance.

Tucker: May I offer you some sage advice?

Audra: That’ll be a hard pass. I don’t put too much credence into your advice these days.

Tucker: Oh. It’s been working out well for me. I walked away from mccall to find myself not only engaged to the woman of my dreams, but, uh… with this brand new golden opportunity staring me in the face.

Summer: Kyle, I promise you I– I wasn’t gonna let diane rot in jail, but by the time I even had a chance to process the fact that my mom was alive, she was already out on bail.

Kyle: No, on house arrest, awaiting trial for murder. And you justified staying quiet how? In the minds of the people of this town, my mother was already tried and convicted. Still today, people believe she is guilty.

Summer: She’s out now. The charges have been dropped.

Kyle: No, no, no, no. You don’t get to think that absolves you from all the pain and the trauma she went through. You didn’t just sit back and stay quiet. You were actually upset with daniel for coming forward, for doing the right thing.

Summer: No.

Kyle: That’s what you were fighting about, wasn’t it?

Summer: No! We just disagreed on how to keep our mom out of jail.

Kyle: Exactly. You wanted to keep it a secret and daniel knew that wasn’t right. And my god, my mother would still be on trial for murder if it wasn’t for daniel!

[ Exhales in frustration ] When were you gonna come forward, summer? After she was convicted and sent off to prison?

Summer: No. I never would’ve let it get that far. I promise you that. I just needed time to figure out a way to protect my mom.

Kyle: This doesn’t come down to time. This comes down to one thing and there is no other way to spin it. You sacrificed my mother to protect yours. If you think you, a child in your care,

Jack: Oh, I confronted ashley about her potential coup plot and put her on notice.

Billy: Yeah? You think that’s gonna stop her? ‘Cause I guarantee you it’s not gonna stop tucker and he’s the driving force behind this.

Jack: She claims tucker was no part of any efforts on her part to reach out to individual board members.

Billy: I don’t care what she claims. Tucker is the one that put the seed in her head. I guarantee it.

Jack: I just like to think that the sister we love and grew up with would not allow herself to be manipulated by this guy again.

Billy: Even if she claims she’s trying to save jabot from a non-existent threat from diane–

Jack: At least, she would ask for a prenup. But to fall into his web of lies and make herself vulnerable and her shares in the company vulnerable makes no sense.

Billy: You know, tucker is a free agent right now. And he’s got money to burn after selling mccall. And jabot looks pretty tempting to a shark like him. Puts him in striking distance of a board seat.

Jack: Whoa! Whoa! Don’t even put that out there.

Billy: Listen, all I’m saying is that ashley could make a compelling argument for expanding the board, which we have talked about, but we’ve always said it has to be a family member. If our sister marries him… it makes him a family member.

Audra: How did you manage to achieve all of that? Snagging ashley, and this mysterious golden opportunity all at once?

Tucker: I just… opened my mind, you see. And I keep it open. Open to each and every possibility. And I’m willing to risk everything because everything you see is an illusion. And with that bit of wisdom, I must bid you good day.

Audra: Uh, was– was that wisdom or just a bunch of nonsense?

Tucker: Hmm. Only when you are able to discern the difference between the two, grasshopper, will you be halfway to enlightenment.

Audra: Yeah. Random nonsense.

Tucker: Namaste, baby.

[ Audra chuckles ]

[ Footsteps departing ]

Summer: Kyle, you gotta believe me, I was trying to figure out a way to keep both of our moms out of prison. I– I only kept quiet to buy time to bring my mom home safely. That’s it.

Kyle: I’m sorry, summer. I can’t accept your justifications. You were only thinking about you and your mother. You completely disregarded how your actions would affect my family, our family.

Summer: No, I was– I was trying to do what was right for everyone.

Kyle: No, no, no. Stop, stop, stop. You have to own up to your actions here. You weren’t just sitting back and watching my mother suffer. You watched me suffer. I was worried as hell about you. I was worried how this would affect our marriage. How it would affect our harrison. I thought you were pushing me away because of something I had done. That I somehow couldn’t be the husband you needed.

Summer: But that wasn’t it at all.

Kyle: No, what was I supposed to think? You kept pushing me away. You kept me at a distance for a reason. One reason. To hide your damn lies.

Chance: Sharon, we don’t know for sure if cameron is behind any of this yet.

Sharon: I’m telling you that I am sure. Cameron wants me to know that I cannot hide from his abuse. That I’m not even safe in my own home with armed security guards. Even victor’s extra security can’t keep me safe. This man is coming for me. I can feel it!

Chance: We need proof. Why isn’t he showing up on any of the security footage?

Nick: It’s probably because he was disguised as a newman guard.

Chance: What?

Nick: One of my dad’s security team was found drugged and tied up and thrown into a closet last night at newman towers and his uniform was missing.

Chance: Why am I just now hearing about this? Did they report it?

Nick: Probably not. Chance, they like to keep things like this in house.

Chance: All right. That’s great, nick, I’m trying to help you and you’re withholding information like that from me.

Nick: Well, I’m telling you now.

Sharon: Isn’t that more proof that cameron is behind this?

Chance: Yes, it could be, but I cannot investigate something that has not been reported, okay? So, is there anything else you aren’t telling me?

Sharon: Look, I understand as a detective, you need to look at things from all angles, but you do not know cameron like we do. You were not there to hear him promise that we would soon find out why he came back here and what he’s after. He’s definitely after revenge. And that poor animal was just his latest victim in his sick and dangerous games.

[ Phone chimes ]

Chance: One second.

Sharon: What is it?

Nick: Did they find him?

Chance: [ Sighs ] No. But the cat was definitely poisoned.

[ Nick sighs ] Hey! It’s your dry skin.

Audra: That tucker mccall, he’s always intruding where he’s not invited.

Victor: Hmm.

Audra: You know, he never misses an opportunity to just drop in and play his little mind games.

Victor: Mm-hmm. But you’re still working together.

Audra: Oh, no. That’s long behind us.

Victor: Ah.

Audra: Yeah.

Victor: Well, he’s of no concern to me, but let me ask you something. How do you like working at newman media? I mean, how do you like working with nate?

Audra: Uh, nate? Nate is amazing.

Victor: Really?

Audra: Mm-hmm, you know, I am learning so much from his instinctive business savvy.

Victor: Instinctive business savvy, how’s that?

Audra: Well, he just seems to know the right moves to make and questions to ask when needed, yeah.

Victor: All right. All signs of a good leader.

Audra: Oh, yes, yes. We all take our cues from him, because his business style… inspires us all.

Victor: Hmm.

Jack: I don’t care if it’s tucker’s idea or ashley’S. I don’t like the sound of any of this.

Billy: Even if ashley is in charge of this coup, she is crazy to depend on tucker. I don’t trust him. I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him and I’d like to throw him through that brick wall.

Jack: Yeah. You and me both.

Billy: I’ll do whatever it takes. I will not let him hurt our sister, even if I have to cut them off at the knees to stop this, I will do whatever it takes to protect jabot.

Summer: Kyle, you’ve gotta forgive me, okay? You’ve gotta forgive me. I will make it up to you if you just let me.

Kyle: I– I just don’t see how that can happen, summer. The more I think about it, the worse it gets. It killed me to watch you and what I thought was inconsolable grief.

Summer: I was– I was devastated.

Kyle: Yeah, but after you found out the truth? How long until you stopped grieving and started putting on the act of the grieving daughter? It is diabolical. I thought I was watching you suffer, but it was all a lie.

Summer: I was suffering lying to you, kyle. It was torture for me.

Kyle: No, and you were so damn good at it. You lied repeatedly to my face! I’m done, I can’t take any more of this.

Summer: Kyle, wait! Look– kyle, I need to know what you’re gonna do, I– please, please don’t– don’t tell anybody where my mom is.

Kyle: My god, you are still putting her first. Expecting me to cover for her after everything that’s happened? I don’t know what’s real with you anymore.

Summer: No, kyle, wait! Kyle!

[ Door shuts closed ]

[ Exhales in frustration ]

Nick: Of course, the cat was poisoned. What more proof do you need? You gotta put him in cuffs.

Chance: There’s still no evidence that proves cameron did any of this. And nick, the cat was outside. This is a ranch. There’s a thousand things out there that could’ve made him sick.

Sharon: This has cameron kirsten’s name all over it.

Chance: I get it. And I am sorry, but this is the way that I have to handle it. Just know I will see this through. You have my word. Now, I’m gonna go to newman tower, and see what I can find out about this stolen uniform. Stay close to home. Keep the doors locked. Call me if you need anything.

Sharon: Okay.

[ Door clicks open ]

Nick: This is so frustrating. I wish there was something more we could do.

Sharon: I can’t believe this is happening, nick. Why is he doing this to me?

Nick: Sharon, you are safe here, okay? And so is faith.

Sharon: You know, there was something that chance said. The cat, he wasn’t outside. Faith didn’t let him out. I didn’t let him out. He was here. He was inside the whole time.

Nick: You think he was inside your house?

Sharon: He had to have been. Cameron was here. He was inside the house. How else could he have poisoned the cat?

Nick: That’s it. I’ve had it. I’m not waiting around anymore. I’m gonna find cameron and put an end to this for good.

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

[ Lock clicking ]

Sharon: Nick.

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

Sharon: Nick.

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

Sharon: Okay, nick–

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

Sharon: Nicholas!

Nick: What?

Sharon: Calm down.

Nick: Sharon, we have to be proactive.

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

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

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

[ Door slamming ]

Tucker: You still seem agitated.

Ashley: Well, I am.

Tucker: Even after?

Ashley: After what?

Tucker: Mind-blowing sex, man.

Ashley: Oh, that.

[ Chuckles ]

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

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

Tucker: Oh, diane jenkins, diane jenkins!

Ashley: Easy, easy.

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

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

Tucker: Mm. Worth a shot.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kyle: What the hell is phyllis doing here?

Summer: Kyle, you followed me here?

Kyle: I was worried.

Phyllis: I can explain.

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

Additional sponsorship provided by…

Summer: I know that this is a huge shock.

Kyle: You think?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Summer: Mom, please.

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

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

Jack: I have never loved you more.

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

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

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

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

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

Diane: That’s right.

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

Ashley: Diane is unfinished business for me.

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

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

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

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

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

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

Tucker: And jabot is her ticket?

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

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

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

Tucker: Whatever.

Ashley: Yeah, it’s the only way.

Nick: How’s our girl?

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

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

Sharon: Nick.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sharon: Oh, I think you’re overreacting.

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

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

Nick: I do hate the waiting.

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

Nick: I know.

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

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

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

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

Ashley: Mm.

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

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

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

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

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

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

Tucker: Thanks to you.

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

Tucker: Mm.

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

Tucker: Hmm.

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

Tucker: All right. I’m in.

Ashley: Mm.

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

Ashley: Of course.

Tucker: We get married immediately.

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

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

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

Jack: Understandably. Small and intimate is ideal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jack: Summer? You’re certain?

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

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

Summer: Kyle, that isn’t the answer.

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

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

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

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

Summer: Kyle, please.

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

Kyle: Oh, that’s an understatement.

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

Kyle: So, you’re a victim?

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

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

Kyle: By killing him.

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

Kyle: Your word against a dead man’s?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kyle: Rational? You?

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

Kyle: No, it’s totally different.

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

[ Chuckles ] Kyle, I need time.

Kyle: No.

Phyllis: I will make this right, I just–

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

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

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

Phyllis: That’s not true.

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

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

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

Victor: So, what is going on?

Nick: It’s cameron kirsten.

Nikki: What about him?

Sharon: He’s back in genoa city.

Nikki: What?

Victor: They let that slimeball out of prison?

Nick: Yeah. He’s definitely here.

Nikki: Oh, no!

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

Victor: But have you seen him?

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

Victor: Have you called the cops?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“The young and the restless” will continue.

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

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

> Summer: It’s not fair!

Kyle: It’s the reality, summer.

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

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

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

Kyle: Oh, you are relentless.

Summer: Please. Kyle, please.

Kyle: No cops… for now.

[ Summer sighs ]

Phyllis: Okay, uh, go. Go ahead.

[ Daniel whistles sharply ]

Daniel: Not what you had planned, huh?

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] No. Not at all.

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

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

Jack: I know, I know.

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

Jack: Uh-huh.

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

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

Diane: You know what else my heart is saying?

Jack: No, what?

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

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

[ Diane chuckles ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Phyllis: How you doing? Really?

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

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

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

[ Daniel laughs ]

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

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

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

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

[ Door slamming ]

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

Kyle: You didn’t seem shocked.

Summer: I don’t understand.

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

Summer: That does sound crazy.

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

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

Sharon: Thank you so much, victor.

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

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

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

Victor: How’s faith?

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Nick sighs ]

[ Door creaks open]

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

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

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

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

[ Door clicks open ]

Kyle: Well?

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

[ Jack and diane chattering ]

Jack: Oh. Hi, there.

Kyle: Hi.

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

Jack: That is absolutely true.

Diane: Yeah.

[ Door clicks open ]

[ Ashley and tucker laughing ]

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

Tucker: Hey!

Jack: Uh, we were just headed up.

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

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

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

Ashley: [ Cheering ] Yay!

Tucker: And as soon as humanly possible.

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

Tucker: Yeah.

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

Nick: I’ll do it right now.

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

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

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

[ Phone pinging ] What is it?

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

Sharon: Oh, no.

Nick: And his uniform was missing.

[ Unzipping ]

[ Sighing ]

[ Clothes rustling ]

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

Diane: This must be our lucky night.

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

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

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

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

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

Jack: Oh, other plans?

Diane: Yes. Drinks first.

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

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

Jack: You are an absolute wonder.

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

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

Kyle: Hey.

Summer: Oh. Wow, that looks… festive?

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

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

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

[ Phone chiming ] Who’s this?

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

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

Sharon: How could I tell him?

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

Sharon: Oh, my god. Oh, it’s you.

Nick: Sorry. You okay?

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

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

Sharon: Good idea.

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

Sharon: You don’t have to drive me.

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

Sharon: Well, you already beefed up security.

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

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

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

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

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Diane: Here you go.

Jack: Oh.

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

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

Diane: Mmm.

Jack: So, um… where’s your drink?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Summer: Oh, hey!

Kyle: Hey.

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

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

Summer: Mmm.

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

Summer: I need to go out.

Kyle: Again?

Summer: Yeah, I need to talk to daniel.

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

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

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

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

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

[ Summer sighing ]

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

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

Summer: I love you.

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

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

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

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

Sharon: Nick, that’s serious.

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

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

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

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

Nick: Why would you say that?

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

Nick: Well, she knows now.

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

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

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

Diane: Thank you.

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

Diane: Excuse me?

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

Diane: I think it’s okay.

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

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

Cameron: Do you know me?

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

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

Cameron: Smart move. Family is just very important.

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

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

Jack: You didn’t recognize him at all?

Diane: Well, he looked familiar.

Jack: Incoming.

Diane: Mm-hmm.

Victor: How’d you do it?

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

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

[ Nikki scoffing ]

Jack: Summer!

Diane: What’s she doing here?

Victor: Join us, sweetheart.

Daniel: Thank you.

Summer: I know where she is.

Daniel: How is she?

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

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

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

Daniel: Is this you, mom?

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

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

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

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

Nick: You were confused. And hurt.

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

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

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

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

Sharon: Uh, no.

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

Sharon: You know what scares me?

Nick: What?

Sharon: I don’t think he cares. For copd, ask your doctor about breztri. deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are. Try cirkul, available now at walmart. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Diane: Are you meeting kyle here?

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

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

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

Victor: What is that look all about?

Summer: Everyone’s gonna find out anyway.

Nikki: Find out what, darling?

Summer: My mom’s alive.

Nikki: What?

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

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

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

Diane: Oh, really?

Victor: Where’s phyllis now?

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

Nikki: My god!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Victor: Okay, sweetheart.

Summer: Thank you. Thanks.

Nikki: Oh, poor summer.

Diane: Mmm.

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

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

Diane: You think this is my fault?

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

Jack: Nikki, truth and justice won here.

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

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

Victor: You bet.

Jack: Good. Have a good evening.

Diane: Get your card. Good. Good night.

Phyllis: Ah, there you are. Come in.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Phyllis: About that…

[ Knocking on door ]

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

Phyllis: Might be too late.

Daniel: Hello?

Phyllis: Oh.

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

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

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

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

Daniel: Hello?

Summer: I guess I’ll get it.

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

Phyllis: I did.

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

Sharon: Um, how about… sugar duty?

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

Sharon: You know the drill. RefillS.

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

Sharon: In the back. Top shelf, left.

Nick: Top shelf, left.

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

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

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

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

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

[ Diane exhaling ]

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

Diane: Dance with me.

[ Piano playing]

Daniel: Mom.

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

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Are you all right?

Daniel: Yeah.

Phyllis: Okay.

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

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

Summer: On what planet, mom?

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

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

Phyllis: No. No, I was confused.

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

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

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

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

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

Cameron: I didn’t mean to startle you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sharon: No. We did not. Now, get out.

Cameron: I’ve never forgotten one single thing about you, sharon. Your mind. That mouth on you. The way you knew how to use it. God knows I tried to forget. I prayed to forget, but it was impossiblE.

Sharon: Why are you here? Want a smarter way to mop?

Nikki: As angry as I am at phyllis for what she’s put daniel and summer through, diane is right up there. Her insufferable gloating.

Victor: Oh, uh–

Nikki: And now she’s free to wreak havoc on the town again.

Victor: Well, now, that’s jack abbott’s problem, so just… ignore her.

Nikki: Nope, I can’t do that. And she has jack so besotted, he doesn’t know which way is up. I’ll tell you this. Once they are married, we all better watch out because she will use jack’s name to open as many doors as she can and begin her reign of terror.

[ Piano playing ]

Jack: Hey. You okay?

Diane: Very.

Phyllis: Wow. Diane got out from under the charges. Amazing. Well, she got away with it again.

Daniel: She’s innocent. I mean, the person that she supposedly killed is very much alive. I’m– I’m standing here looking at her.

Phyllis: Diane is looking at a fairytale life and I am looking at a huge mess.

Daniel: A mess you created, mom.

Phyllis: I told you, I regret it.

Daniel: Do you regret it because what you did was wrong, or because your plan fell apart?

Summer: Daniel, can you just stop? We need to focus on what we do to get out of this that doesn’t involve telling the police that we know where mom is.

Daniel: Okay, no, no, no, no. The sneaking around needs to end.

Summer: Not with mom behind bars.

Daniel: So what do we do? We just don’t say anything?

Summer: Yes, for now.

Daniel: What about kyle?

Summer: My god, can you just leave him out of this?

Daniel: No, I can’t leave him out of this, summer. He’s your husband, and he loves you, and he’s worried about you. He deserves to know.

Summer: He will know. When the time is right.

Daniel: Oh, when the time is right. What’s that timetable look like, huh? Do you think that your marriage is gonna survive it?

Summer: It’s better than just telling the police to help themselves to our mom!

Phyllis: Stop it! Stop it, I mean it. Stop. I won’t have this. Look what I’ve done to our family. We should not be at odds. We love each other, we fight, but we protect each other. Listen, I can’t put you guys through this. I have to take care of this on my own. Seriously. I mean, just disappear and take care of it on my own.

Summer: No, I’m not gonna let you do that!

Daniel: No. No, no, no.

Phyllis: I– I have to. Look what I’ve done to you. Now, you’re accessories to a crime? You could get into a lot of trouble!

Summer: Protect our loved ones at all costs. That’s what you taught me, mom, so that is what we’re gonna do. Right?

Daniel: Whatever it takes.

Phyllis: Really? Are you sure?

Daniel: I love you, mom.

Summer: I love you.

[ Phyllis exhaling ]

Phyllis: I love you. Want a hug? Or you have boundaries, I know.

Cameron: That’s it? That’s your only question, why am I here? Aren’t you a little curious about, I don’t know, maybe, um… how I’ve been, where I’ve been, what I’ve been doin’ 24 hours a day, day in, day out for the last 20 years? ‘Cause I’ve sure as hell been curious about you. Maybe that’s why I’m here. Curiosity. Look, I know we had our problems, but nobody ever touched me the way you did. What we shared… come on, that connection was real. And I know you felt it. I liked it.

Nick: Hey! You get away from her. You stay away from everyone in my family. That’s me before dawn powerwash.

[ Piano playing ]

Jack: I have never seen you more beautiful more radiant and more alive.

Diane: That’s because I’m about to spend the rest of my life with the love of my life.

Jack: I promised you the wedding of your dreams. Have you made any decisions? Destination wedding, something closer to home? Barefoot on the beach? Five stars, the whole works?

Diane: I don’t care if we have fireworks and a parade or we just go down to the justice of the peace. I just want to be your wife, jack. The sooner, the better.

Phyllis: So, christine put out an apb on me. Wow, she must be loving this. You know, she’s not gonna be happy until she sees me in handcuffs, walking into that police station with the cameras rolling.

Daniel: Well, you were pretty horrible to her back in the day.

Phyllis: I wasn’T.

Summer: Can we focus? We have another situation.

Phyllis: What is it?

Summer: I told grandma and grandpa that you’re alive, and about stark.

Phyllis: Summer! Victor and nikki? Why’d you do that?

Summer: Because they were downstairs in the dining room, and jack and diane were there.

Phyllis: Oh, really? Was diane having a victory meal? Was she– I mean, I shouldn’t feel bad because she’s living her life free and clear, blah, blah, blah, right?

Daniel: So you told them, but you didn’t tell kyle?

Summer: Daniel, you’re the one that already told everyone, so yeah, I just– I would rather them hear it from me.

Phyllis: So you know what this means, huh? I mean, victor is gonna get his personal security on me. I mean, they’ll find me immediately. I– I should just turn myself in.

Daniel: That would be the right thing to do.

Summer: Oh, my god, stop with the whole “right thing.” The right thing is to protect our mom until we can clear her of stark’s murder.

Phyllis: I agree with summer on that, daniel.

Daniel: Cool. Great. You agree with summer on that. Do you have a plan, then?

Phyllis: I actually do. So, I hacked in to all of stark’s personal records and accounts. I just need to find a paper trail to show what a horrible person he was. He was gonna keep me as a prisoner in that room, daniel. He was gonna keep me as a prisoner. Honestly, it was his life or mine!

Daniel: Did you have any luck with it?

Phyllis: I need to find the emt. His name is carson. That’s why we need all the help we can get.

Summer: Unless your conscience is gonna be a problem, daniel?

Daniel: Okay, look. Things are moving fast, so we need to get out ahead of them. First order of business, finding you a different place to hide. We need some place isolated, and some place that’s a hell of a lot safer than here. Summer. Any ideas?

Summer: I need to sleep on it. I’ve been gone for way too long, and you know what? I gotta go. I don’t want kyle to worry about me, so I’m gonna check in with you both in the morning.

Kyle: What the hell?

Cameron: Hey, slick. Long time, no see. I’m guessing you haven’t missed me about as much as I haven’t missed you.

Nick: You better get outta here before I tear you apart.

Sharon: Nick…

Cameron: Always a hothead. Hey. Nothin’ to see here, boss. Just stopped in to say hi. Hi. Hi. Oh. You know, I ran into your daughter, faith.

Nick: Now, you watch your mouth.

Cameron: Polite little girl. And such a little beauty. Just like her mama.

Nick: You don’t talk about her, you don’t even say her name.

Cameron: No, I come in peace, man. You’re threatenin’ violence?

Nick: Oh, that’s not a threat. That’s a promise.

[ Cameron whistling ]

Cameron: You really hold a grudge.

Nick: What do you want?

Cameron: Oh. That’s for another time, nicholas. Y’all have a nice night. Hmm.

[ Sharon sobbing ]

Announcer: Next week, on the young and the restless.

Kyle: How long have you known phyllis was alive?

Victor: You realize that a move like that would put you in direct competition with newman media?

Adam: Exactly.

Sharon: Stay close, and be careful.

Faith: I will.

[ Sally exhaling sharply ]

[ Sally sighing ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Sally: Oh, nick. Oh, finally.

Chloe: So, I’ve put together a set of cad drawings from our sketches. I’ve got fabric swatches, paint chips. You know, I just think it’s really important to get lily and devon’s eyes on this asap.

Sally: Chloe–

Chloe: So we can get a sense of what they’re– I know what you’re going to say. That they hired us to define their new style for chancellor-winters, but I just think it’s really smart to involve them early on because then we can help guide them to what we are envisioning. What? What’s wrong?

Nick: I want extra guards stationed here and regular checks of the grounds. You see anything suspicious, you let me know. All right. Thanks. All right. Security’s beefed up just in case cameron tries to do something stupid, like come back to genoa city.

Sharon: Thank you.

Nick: I’ll let my dad know too.

Sharon: Well, that makes me feel better, but I don’t– I don’t wanna overreact.

Nick: Sharon, when cameron kirsten’s involved, there’s no such thing as overreacting.

Sharon: I can’t help thinking about those creepy packages. Now, I’m convinced that was blood that we saw on the champagne bottle. And he is trying to send a message with that motel matchbook.

Nick: Try not to let him get in your head.

Sharon: How could I not? They were hand delivered.

Nick: He could have paid someone to do that.

Sharon: Or it could mean cameron’s already here.

Cameron: You okay?

Faith: It was me. I’m an idiot. My boyfriend is always on me not to walk and text.

Cameron: Don’t you hate it when your significant other is right?

Faith: Totally. But I am sorry.

Cameron: No harm, no foul. Let’s just chalk it up to, um, a cautionary lesson.

Faith: I will never multitask while texting again.

Cameron: Yeah. I don’t believe you, but, uh, I appreciate the promise. Hey, are you– are you faith newman?

Faith: I am. Do I know you?

Cameron: This is a small world. I’m an old friend of your parents.

Tucker: Hey.

Ashley: Hi.

Tucker: Ooh, I like your hair that way.

Ashley: [ Laughs ] Thank you. I was just about to text you. I thought you were standing me up.

Tucker: Yeah, I almost did. For our grandson.

Ashley: I thought dominic’s music class was over an hour ago.

Tucker: We had a little jam session afterwards.

Ashley: The two of you?

Tucker: Yes. Him on drums, me on xylophone.

Ashley: Sorry I missed that. I’m sure it was pretty cute.

Tucker: It was. I’m telling you, man, he is a prodigy. And, uh, if our fake engagement becomes in a legit wedding, then I think he– he needs a better gig than ring bearer. He should be, uh, you know, the headliner of the band.

Ashley: Duly noted. Oh, my god. What the hell is she doing here? This is unbelievable. I mean, she’s supposed to be under house arrest. Does she always have to push the limits?

Tucker: What are you doing?

Ashley: I’m gonna call the police. She has to go back to jail. As someone living with type 2 diabetes,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Sally: I was in the park earlier and I had an episode.

Chloe: What does that mean?

Sally: I just felt wobbly. Some double vision.

Chloe: Sally!

Sally: It passed.

Chloe: Well, I hope you checked in with your doctor.

Sally: Yeah, adam took me. She says that I am at risk for preeclampsia.

Chloe: Oh, honey. I’m so sorry.

Sally: I hate this. But my doctor told me that I really need to take it easy for a while.

Chloe: Yeah, of course. Of course. Whatever you need.

Sally: What if it’s everything?

Chloe: No, no. It’s okay. We’ve got this.

Sally: I know, but it’s just when we landed our first client and there is so much to do. I– if we do not impress chancellor-winters, our company is dead in the water. So, I really hate to put this on you, but I’m really gonna need you to take the lead on this for now.

Chloe: Of course. We’re gonna figure this out. Okay? I’ll– I’ll bring the swatches and the paint chips to you. You’ll sign off on all the samples and, you know, you’ll still be involved. Just– just from here.

Sally: I mean, it’s too much.

Chloe: It’s fine. It’s fine, okay? I– I’ll drive everything. I’ll do the in-person meetings until you get the all clear. I just want you to take care of yourself. I don’t want you to risk anything, okay? And I promise, you can trust me to keep this job on track.

Sally: I’m just terrified.

Faith: I’m sorry. Have we met?

Cameron: No, I– I– I did some work with your dad and newman enterprises years ago. And your mom and I, well, we– we go way back. I’m sorry. I’m being rude. I’m– I’m ck. Nice to meet you.

Faith: You too.

Cameron: So, your mom and dad are good?

Faith: Yep. They’re doing great.

Cameron: That’s great. That’s great. Please give ’em my best. Hey, can you do me a favor? I’m– I’m terrible at directions and my phone is dead. So, uh, I have to do this the old fashioned way. Can you point me to that address?

Tucker: Hold on a second. Wait, wait.

Ashley: Why?

Tucker: Well–

Ashley: She’s clearly in violation of her bail restrictions.

Tucker: No, I understand. It’s very suspicious. But in my experience, it’s best to collect all the facts before you–

Ashley: Okay. All the facts are that she’s supposed to be under house arrest. So what else do we need to know?

Tucker: Just humor me a second and let’s consider the consequences of calling the cops.

Ashley: I call the cops. They come, they take her away, and then we don’t have to live with her under the same roof anymore.

Tucker: Okay. The devil’s advocate here. Will diane really be that foolish and brazen?

Ashley: Yes. She faked her death and disappeared for years. So, yes.

Tucker: Why?

Ashley: I don’t know. Maybe she’s going stir crazy. She couldn’t take it anymore. She knows jack will do anything and everything she wants. She’s a very resourceful person. She could have figured out a way to get rid of her ankle monitor and she wouldn’t get caught.

Tucker: Why don’t we go and see what she has to say for herself? Put the screws to her a little bit before we call the cops.

Ashley: Fine. What the hell are you doing here?

Diane: Oh, I imagine the same thing you are. I’m here to enjoy a good meal.

Tucker: I see you took my advice and figured out how to remove the ankle bracelet. Of course, in my scenario, you were meant to disappear.

Ashley: I told you. She thinks she can get away with anything.

Diane: Oh, no. You caught me. What am I gonna do now?

Ashley: Go back to jail where you belong.

Diane: Are you seriously calling the police? Go ahead.

Jack: Don’t even think about it. Overactive bladder? I’ve been there.

Ashley: What the hell is going on? Have you lost your mind?

Jack: You’re the one who’s lost control, ashley. Let it go.

Diane: Oh, jack, you’re spoiling my fun. I wanted to see ashley trying to explain her outrage when the police arrived.

Tucker: So, what’s the joke?

Jack: Christine has dropped all charges. Diane is a free woman.

Ashley: Oh, okay. So what technicality did michael dig up to get you off?

Diane: No technicality. I’ve been innocent all along.

Tucker: The only way they would let you free is if phyllis’s real killer confessed.

Jack: There was no killer.

Diane: Phyllis is alive.

[ Tucker chuckling ]

Nick: Yeah, it was hand delivered, sharon, but I don’t think even cameron’s bold enough to knock on your door, leave that cigar box with all of us inside here.

Sharon: I wish I could agree, but I remember all too well what that monster is capable of. He’s not easily intimidated, nick.

[ Door clicking open ] Oh, my god, that must be faith. Listen, I don’t wanna alarm her unless we know for sure that there is something to worry about.

Nick: Hey.

Faith: Well, I toured all of my regular spots and I can report that not much has changed in genoa city since I’ve been at college.

Sharon: Well, that’s reassuring.

Faith: I’m gonna go grab a snack. Oh, I ran into an old friend of yours. Like, literally nearly knocked the poor guy over. [ Chuckles ]

Nick: What old friend?

Faith: He recognized me somehow, but I had never met him. Uh, he goes by his initials. C something maybe.

Sharon: Ck?

Faith: Yeah, that’s it. Nice guy.

Chloe: Okay. Well, this is a no stress zone for you starting now.

[ Sally sighing ]

[ Sally scoffing ]

Sally: Thank you.

Chloe: And I know what you’re going through. You know, when I was pregnant the first time with delia, um, I fell off a ladder and I thought I was gonna lose her. And then after we got through all of that… um, my little angel decided to come into this world during a snowstorm so far away from any hospital.

Sally: What’d you do?

Chloe: I did what any mom to be does in a crisis. I fought with everything I had to keep her safe. I did. I did that time. At least I did.

Sally: Look, I’m so sorry. I did not mean to bring up any hard memories. I know that you were an amazing mom to her.

Chloe: And I know that you have the same fight in you. So, you just need to grab onto that inner superhero because I promise you that will not be the only crisis you ever deal with in your little girl’s life.

Sally: I really appreciate your support.

Chloe: You know, I gotta say, I was a little surprised that you called adam instead of nick.

Sally: I did call nick, but he didn’t answer. So i– I just tried adam and he came right away.

Chloe: Well, that doesn’t sound like nick.

Sally: Yeah. No, not at all. And I still haven’t heard from him, so I’m really hoping that everything’s okay.

[ Knocking on door ]

Chloe: Ah. Well, look at that. Right on cue. I’m sure that’s him. Oh.

Adam: I, um, I had to come back. (Wheezing)

Sally: I said I was okay.

Adam: Well, if you’re going to stay put, you’re gonna need some snacks and not any old kind. I, uh, checked in with a doctor friend who recommended salt-free and healthy options and bottled water.

Sally: That’s considerate.

Adam: Not really. It was just an excuse to check back in on you, but I see you are in good hands. How is she doing?

Sally: Well, she’s right here and doing fine.

Chloe: And under strict orders from me. Do not stress and not think about work because I’ve got us covered. Which reminds me, I need to get to that meeting at the office furniture showroom. Um, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but, um, I’m happy that you’re here so I can pass the baton.

Adam: Uh, baton accepted.

Chloe: And I heard you stepped up today. So, um, you know, I’m– I’m glad that you’re doing the right thing.

Adam: I’m– I’m glad sally felt that way.

Chloe: Okay. Um, listen, do not stress out. You call me if you need anything and that is an order.

Sally: Thank you.

Adam: Well, you might change your mind once you try the, uh, salt free options.

Sally: I mean, for coming back.

Sharon: Here. Is this him?

Faith: That’s him. But this article says that he was arrested. What’s going on and why did you call chance when I mentioned his name?

Nick: That man is extremely dangerous, faith.

Sharon: If you see him again, you steer clear. You understand me?

Nick: And then you call us immediately and then chance.

Faith: Now, you’re freaking me out.

[ Knocking on door ]

Nick: Hey, thanks for getting here so quickly.

Chance: Yeah, I got your message. Faith saw this guy? Oh, hey. You wanna tell me exactly what happened?

Sharon: Yeah. Go ahead, sweetheart.

Faith: It was nothing really. It seemed like no big deal. I was texting and walking and bumped into him. We laughed about it. He recognized me, which I guess was weird since we’ve never met.

Chance: Anything else? Or was that it?

Faith: He asked how my mom and dad were. Then he needed directions. Uh, said his phone had died. So, I looked up the address for him and told him how to get there. Some bar. Hold on.

Chance: All right, give me a second. Hey, it’s chancellor. I need you to send an officer over to a bar on the south side of town. I’m gonna text you over a name, address, and a picture of this guy we’re looking for. I think he might be there. All right, thank you.

Sharon: That’s near the motel where–

Nick: There’s no way he’s there. He’s just sending another one of his sick messages.

Sharon: Okay. Well, this time, he used our daughter to do it.

Chance: We’ve gotta follow up on this lead. See if he was there and see if he talked to anybody. It’s the only thing we have to go on right now.

Faith: Will someone please tell me what’s going on?

Jack: And chance was able to prove daniel’s story that he saw phyllis and that she was alive.

Diane: They found a program from phyllis’s memorial at the motel.

Jack: And they pulled dna and fingerprint evidence from it to prove that phyllis was alive after her own memorial.

Diane: Which means that I didn’t kill phyllis the night of the gala, which I’ve been telling everyone all along.

Ashley: Why are you looking at me like that?

Diane: Well, because if I was someone who thought the worst of everyone, like you do, I might think that this was a plan hatched by the coven.

Ashley: The what?

Diane: The coven. You, nikki and phyllis have been out to get me since I came back to town.

Ashley: Okay.

Diane: I wouldn’t have put it past the three of you to try to frame me for phyllis’s murder.

Ashley: Moving on, it’s– it’s a wonderful thing that phyllis is alive. I mean, for daniel, for summer. It’s a miracle, really.

Diane: Yeah. It is. Well, of course, I hate that summer has been thinking the worst of me too when it was her mother that was clearly in on this with jeremy stark. She admitted as much to her son.

Ashley: Right. Well, maybe you can explain why phyllis would be driven to do such a thing since you did the same thing yourself.

Jack: Enough, you have been hurling accusations at her for weeks now. All of it has been proven false. You can’t cut her a break?

Tucker: You know, you really gotta hand it to phyllis. I mean, it was almost the perfect revenge play.

Jack: Oh, phyllis is definitely going to be punished. She’s not getting away with this.

Diane: No, but right now, it’s about celebrating. Would you care to join us for some champagne?

Ashley: No, thank you.

Diane: Oh, well, we can toast at home.

Ashley: This day has just gotten a lot worse.

Tucker: Yeah. Let’s look on the bright side.

Ashley: What bright side?

Tucker: We’re not living with a murderer.

Ashley: Yeah. The way I see it though, this nightmare with diane has just begun. Febreze!

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Sharon: I’m not trying to hide anything from you.

Faith: Okay. Then tell me who ck is.

Sharon: He is a painful part of my past. It’s very difficult to talk about.

Faith: You’re obviously upset and I don’t wanna make you feel worse, but you guys have me worried.

Nick: I’ll tell you what. Let’s give your mom some time. Can you please, for now, just accept the fact that ck is a very dangerous person, and he needs to be avoided at all costs?

Faith: Of course. But I hope that you talk to me about it at some point. I’m not a kid anymore.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Chance: Okay, I just got a confirmation that cameron is not at the bar. And according to the bartender, he hasn’t been there all day.

Sharon: Then nick was right. It was just another tactic to get to me and it worked.

Nick: Do you have enough now? Clearly, this run-in with our daughter was planned. He’s not hiding out. He is taunting sharon. Can you at least find out where he’s staying?

Chance: Nick. You wanna put this guy away for good, right? Then, we have to play this by the book. I do not have enough to arrest him. I don’t even have enough to question the guy. So, I’m gonna get some units to canvas the hotels and motels in the area. Let’s get some eyes on him, and we’ll go from there.

Nick: All right. I’m gonna get my dad’s security team on this toO. Oh, when did I miss this?

Sharon: What is it?

Nick: Sally’s trying to get ahold of me.

Sharon: Oh, well, I hope everything is okay.

Nick: Hey, it’s, uh– it’s me. Sorry I missed your call. Um, call me back, okay? All right, bye. Went to voicemail.

Sharon: All right, well, maybe, you should go. Uh, we’re fine here, and you have alerted ranch security, chance is here.

Nick: Okay. Okay, I will come back by here after I check in with her, okay?

[ Door clicks closed ]

Ashley: I mean, obviously, I’m thrilled that phyllis is alive. That goes without saying. But I’m worried that it’s gonna make diane think that she’s invincible.

Tucker: She’s not wasting any time rubbing our noses in it, that’s for sure.

Ashley: I was worried about this from the very beginning, because she’s gonna convince jack that she deserves some kind of a reward for everything that she’s gone through.

Tucker: Yeah, and jack is doubling down on his defense of her obviously.

Ashley: Yes, and… she’s gonna use that to get her claws into jabot. I’ve gotta protect my family.

Tucker: How do you plan to do that?

Ashley: You. Yeah, you. If I’m gonna protect my family right from her greedy hands, I need a support system. I need an ally and a partner.

Tucker: Uh-oh. [ Laughs ]

Ashley: What?

Tucker: I can just see that brilliant brain of yours working away.

Ashley: Mm, I gotta do something that just stops diane in her tracks before she marries my brother and has even more power.

Adam: Our little girl’s gonna be strong, fierce. From what I know about the spectra women, uh, our little girl already has a lot going on for her. And my mother, hope, she– she had a lot of strength too. Hardy farm stock, as they used to say in kansas.

Sally: [ Laughs ] I’m sorry. I just still find it hard to believe that you grew up on a farm.

Adam: Says the carnival gypsy?

Sally: Hey, my background makes a lot of sense for who I am. I’m tough, adventurous, itinerant. So, I’m really trying to change that, ’cause I want stability for this child. But you on the other hand, nothing about adam newman says, I grew up shoveling manure.

[ Adam laughing ]

Adam: Hey, I will have you know that I once birthed a calf.

Sally: Get out.

Adam: I will spare you the details, but just suffice it to say I would be a rock in the delivery room.

Sally: Look, I know you’re busy at mccall, so I– I don’t wanna keep you.

Adam: No, I mean… nothing is more important than being here with you.

[ Knocking on the door ]

Nick: Sally, it’s nick. I got your messages.

[ Adam clears throat ] Adam? What’s going on? What happened?

If you, like many people,

Adam: Nick, glad you could make it. Um, I’ll let you take over from here. Enjoy the snacks. Check back in with you later?

Sally: Thank you for everything. It meant a lot.

Adam: Take care of her.

Nick: Yeah. Always. What’s going on?

Sally: I had a scare. I just felt a little dizzy. Some double vision. Anyway, long story short, the doctor says that I’m at risk for preeclampsia.

[ Nick sighing ] And has ordered me to take it easy.

Nick: I’m so sorry, I– I got your messages. I tried to call back, it went straight to voicemail. I took a chance that you’d be here.

Sally: Yeah. Chloe turned off my phone so I could rest. I’m just really glad you’re here.

Nick: Well, I guess, I owe adam a big thank you.

Sally: He was really great, to be honest.

[ Sally sighing ] And I admit, it was scary. I’m still worried.

Nick: Yeah, well, you just– you gotta do what your doctor said. Sally, you gotta take it easy.

Sally: Yeah, no, I’m– I’m following all the orders, I– chloe put this blanket on me. Adam got me some snacks. I am– I’m doing all the right things.

[ Nick chuckles softly ]

Nick: I feel awful. It’s awful that I wasn’t here for you.

Sally: Yeah, I admit, I was starting to worry. Why did it take you so long to get my messages? You’re normally, really responsive. Is everything okay?

Jack: To you. To your indomitable spirits, to your courage to keep going, to keep fighting when others would’ve given up.

Diane: To you. To the man who gave me that courage. Who kept me going. To the man that I will be forever grateful to and for.

Ashley: Oh, god, I just find them both so nauseating. It just makes me wanna focus that much harder on my plan.

Tucker: Do you care to fill me in?

Ashley: I think that our fake engagement, we could actually use it to our benefit ’cause it’s the perfect distraction to make a move against diane.

Tucker: Uh-huh. What move is that?

Ashley: Okay, well, I– I know that it was billy who told jack, right? I know. But that’s okay, I figured he would, and I can work around him, right? ‘Cause I’ve already reached out to the board, so I know what we can do.

Tucker: Yeah, you– you keep saying “we,” but you’ve only mentioned things you’re doing.

Ashley: I want you to come work with me at jabot.

[ Tucker laughs ] What? Strike the numbers.

Tucker: Oh, honey. I love how your mind works, you know that, but… I think you should consider the possibility that you are taking this whole thing way too seriously and putting way too much energy into it. You are talking about the possibility of alienating both of your brothers. Where’s the rest of the family gonna fall if you– if you draw these battle lines?

Ashley: Well, I have to make them realize that the cost is gonna be huge if we let diane get what she wants.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. What if… you just let jack and diane have their happiness?

Ashley: No. Absolutely not. That would give– that would give diane a stronghold at jabot.

Tucker: What if you let her?

Ashley: Why would I do that?

Tucker: Because you don’t need jabot. Hell, you don’t even need the abbott family, for that matter. You know, you and i could build something that would tower over jabot.

Chelsea: Hey. I’m glad I ran into you. Um, I need to talk to you about connor.

Adam: Um, is– there’s something wrong?

Chelsea: Well, that’s what has me concerned. Have you noticed he’s been on edge lately?

[ Adam clears throat ] I feel like his moods are all over the place.

Adam: Uh, it’s probably– it’s just a phase.

Chelsea: Well, do you think it’s like a pre-teen thing or something we should be concerned about? I just hope he goes back to his normal self before the baby’s born, adam, because it’s gonna be a huge adjustment for him.

Adam: What do you want from me? W– w– do you wanna ask me something?

Chelsea: Excuse me? Forget it, adam. Forget I said anything.

Adam: No, look, I’m sorry. Chelsea, I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t mean to snap at you. Of course, I care about what’s going on with connor. I just–

[ Adam sighing ] There’s just– there’s something bothering me.

Chelsea: What is it?

Adam: There might be a problem with the baby. Type 2 diabetes? I got this mountain bike for only $11. Dealdash.Com the fair and honest bidding site. This kitchenaid mixer sold for less than $26. This I-pad sold for less than $43. And this playstation 5 sold for less than a dollar. I won these bluetooth headphones for $20. I got these three suitcases for less than $40. And shipping is always free. Go to dealdash.Com right now and see how much you can save. Want a smarter way to mop?

Chelsea: Oh, adam. I’m really sorry. Must be very difficult watching nick and sally together. I imagine you feel like a bit of an outsider.

Adam: You know, I was able to be there for her today because she couldn’t reach nick. It just– it stings that I wasn’t her first call. I’m the baby’s father. But I get why it might be confusing for connor. I mean, maybe, that’s what’s going on with him. I know it’s not, uh, an ideal way to bring a baby into a family.

Chelsea: Well, you can’t beat yourself up because of that. From where I’m standing, you’re doing everything you can to support sally, while also not getting into it with nick.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: I mean… what else can you do?

Adam: Well, I’m supposed to be focused on work. Fixing this wreck of a company that victor entrusted me to. And I– I just– I can’t think about mccall at all. All I can think about is sally and the baby.

Nick: It’s nothing to worry about. I was just dealing with some family stuff.

Sally: Well, baby girl and i are a part of that family now, right?

Nick: Of course, you are.

Sally: So tell me.

Nick: It’s just a boring newman business. And you’re not supposed to have any negative thoughts in your head, just positive stuff. So, how about if I put some of those in instead?

Sally: What did you have in mind?

Nick: Come on.

Sally: I am supposed to keep my heart rate down.

Nick: I know. I’m just gonna activate my superhuman spooning skills.

[ Sally chuckling ]

Sally: You are brilliant at making me feel like everything’s gonna be okay.

Nick: Good. I promise you it is. Come on.

[ Sally sighing ]

Tucker: Just think of it. You making all the sound business decisions, laying waste to our competitors. We’d be unstoppable.

Ashley: You make it sound a little enticing.

Tucker: What’s stopping us?

Ashley: Me. Clearly, I’m not as enlightened as you are. I just don’t want diane to win, sorry.

Tucker: Terrible reason.

Ashley: It’s a good reason.

Tucker: Oh, no, no. Look, I got all this cash from the sale of mccall. You can have jack buy you out at jabot. Huh? Think of what we could do. You could pursue all those innovations you dreamed of. No board, no ceo to deal with.

Ashley: Very sexy.

Tucker: Yeah?

Ashley: I’m not sure if this is a pitch or a seduction.

Tucker: Maybe, it’s both, baby.

[ Ashley chuckling ] No, but really. Not only would it be the best business decision you’ve ever made, but it would be a ball. Am I wrong? You and me in sync? We forget all about what’s her name over there?

Ashley: Hm. What’s her name? Maybe, um– maybe, you should, uh, continue to make your case someplace a little bit more private.

Tucker: Now, you see, that’s the kind of million dollar idea that I’m talking about.

Ashley: Okay.

Jack: Okay, why do I get the feeling those two are up to something?

Diane: Oh, who cares? I’m having too much fun with you to let them spoil my mood. In fact… [ Clicks tongue ] Let’s keep the celebration going.

Jack: Oh, I like this idea. So, what’s next?

Diane: Hm.

Chance: Are you sure you’re okay?

Sharon: Um, we’ll be fine. You need to get to work.

Chance: All right, well, I spoke with ranch security. They’re on top of it. I checked all the windows and the back doors. Everything’s sealed shut. I want you to lock this door after I leave and just stay on high alert, okay? And call me if you need anything.

Sharon: We will. Thank you.

[ Sharon sighing ] Okay. I know you have questions.

Faith: A few, but if you’re not ready to talk about it…

Sharon: No. You deserve to know what we’re dealing with. I’ll tell you exactly who this monster is.

[ Cameron sighing ]

Sharon: Nicholas newman is my husband.

Cameron: [ Chuckles ] Well, this small world just got a little smaller.

Sharon: Actually, when I– when I saw you in nick’s office, I was hoping that you wouldn’t remember.

Cameron: Yeah, I bet you were. But I do remember.

Sharon: Please, won’t you listen to me? I am not the woman you met in denver.

Cameron: Yeah, you are.

Sharon: No, I was not myself then, I was–

Cameron: You are the same woman now as you were then. And you are very hot.

Sharon: Are you gonna tell nick?

[ Cameron clicks tongue ]

Cameron: That depends. See, I live my life the way I do business. A good deal is where everybody gets something… and everybody gives up something. The night that we met in the motel, I thought we were gonna hook it up, but, uh, well, then, you decided to hit me over the head with that bottle.

Sharon: You were trying to rape me.

Cameron: You know what? I– I– I still– I can’t believe how strong you were. The way you could drag me down all those steps. I didn’t think a little girl like you could do that, huh?

Sharon: I thought you were dead.

Cameron: Yeah. Obviously. When I came to a couple hours later behind that dumpster, covered in snow, frozen… I don’t think I have ever been angrier in my life.

Sharon: And that’s when you decided to destroy me.

Cameron: What are you talking about, destroy you? Honey, you’re my dream girl. You just weren’t being that cooperative. So, I need to talk to gabe about frank’s demise. All right. You know what? That’s all in our past. You are here now. I’m here. We’re together. And I love you.

[ Cameron sighing ]

Sharon: The vineyard just sounds so familiar to me, and yet, I can’t place it.

Adam: Well, what did the card say?

Sharon: Said, “memories are what life is made of.”

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Kyle: It looks like I’ve interrupted something. What are you two talking about?

Summer: Kyle, chance was just here. He told us the news that, um, he found proof that our mom is alive.

Daniel: No more doubts. No more questions. It’s undeniable. Chance is absolutely sure.

Summer: That means that the charges against diane are gonna be dropped. You believed that your mom was innocent this whole time. You were right. I’m sorry that I blamed her for a murder that didn’t even happen.

Kyle: You were racked with grief. I know how hard it is to face a pain like that.

Summer: And you know exactly what it feels like to find out that it was all lie.

Kyle: Of course, I do.

Summer: I’m so sorry. I hope that you can forgive me.

Kyle: Of course, I can. You were in pain and needed answers. All the clues pointed to my mom because that’s what stark wanted. I’m just glad he can never hurt anyone ever again.

Summer: So hasst that happened yet? Has she been formally released?

Kyle: It’s true. My mom is free.

Lucy: Thanks for letting me hang out at your offices today.

Lily: Of course.

Lucy: Those coders were so cool. I mean, it’s a totally different crore than my mom’s office friends.

Lily: Yeah. I know. Well, of course. And they have amazing fashion sense. They definitely keep our offices on trend.

Lucy: I didn’t see a single blue suit, which is basically my mom’s entire office uniform.

Lily: Well, I mean, lawyers are really cool too, in their own way.

Lucy: Um… lily…

Lily: Yeah? Lucy, whatever it is, I promise you can ask me.

Lucy: Is it true that you and my dad were married when you guys were basically kids?

[ Sally sighing ]

[ Sally panting ]

Sally: What is going on? Oh, did you feel that too?

Faith: Mariah, you don’t have to stay to help clean up. I’ve got this.

Mariah: Oh, no, you– you just got home. You can go unpack or hang out with dorm cat.

Faith: His name is borgnine, as you know. And he’s probably still sleeping. So, I’m on cleanup duty. And you know just how much I love washing dirty dishes.

Mariah: I know that. So, I’m gonna let you wash and I will dry.

Faith: Thanks. How kind of you.

Mariah: Well, I gave you a chance to escape, but you sort of blew it, so.

Nick: I mean, will you look at these pictures? The greatest collection of women who’ve ever been assembled. The photographer’s obviously very talented. He crushed it.

Faith: Poor dad. You can’t actually take credit for all of our fabulousness. All you did was take the picture.

Nick: That’s a skill, faith. I mean, you can’t just aim and shoot, all right? The framing, the lighting, it’s all perfect. I mean, ask your mom. She’s impressed.

Faith: Mom?

Sharon: Huh? Yeah. Uh, you’re all wonderful and– and talented.

Mariah: Uh, sort of out of nowhere, but I will take it.

Faith: What’s going on? What’s got you so distracted? Ma ma ma ma

[Clears throut]

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Mariah: Is it all the mom and grandma overload? It’s too much joy all at once?

Sharon: Yes. That’s exactly what I was thinking about, our family and how lucky I am to have all of you. But it is time for you two to go. There’s no reason for you to hang out. Nick can help me clean up.

Faith: We don’t mind. Really.

Sharon: No, no. Faith, you just got home. Why don’t you go and visit your friends or visit family. I know that victor and nikki are dying to see you.

Faith: I did promise granddad I’d be by to lose at chess.

Mariah: Wow. That’s the fighting spirit.

Faith: Guess the dirty dishes are on you, dad.

Nick: It is my welcome home gift to you, kiddo.

Sharon: Have fun.

Faith: Bye. Maybe we can go to the tack house first so I can video chat moses and show him the new baby.

Mariah: Perfect. I mean, if she’s asleep, she will not be for long. Trust me. Bye, guys.

Nick: Bye.

Sharon: Bye.

Nick: You did a great job covering. What was in the box that was delivered?

Sharon: Okay.

Nick: This is the motel where cameron attacked you. The son of a bitch has a twisted sense of humor.

Sharon: Makes me sick to my stomach to think about it. But, he’s in prison, right?

Nick: I mean, he certainly should be. There’s no way this lunatic should be out in the streets ever again.

Sharon: Cameron is up to something. Sending me all of these little packages and gifts. What can he possibly want? What message is he trying to send?

[ Door knocking ]

Chance: Hey.

Nick: Hey.

Chance: I got news about kirsten. It’s not great.

Cameron: Miss? Hey, I– I don’t mean to bother you, but, um, are you okay?

Sally: Yeah, I’m– I’m fine. I just– I had a little double vision. It’s just making me dizzy.

Cameron: Yeah. Well, look in– in your condition that’s– that’s nothing to mess around with, uh. Can I– can I call somebody for you?

Daniel: Well, you must be relieved, kyle. Your mom’s been vindicated. What our mother put you and the rest of your family through was brutal. Still can’t believe she would do such a thing.

Summer: But it wasn’t mom’s fault. You know, it was stark. He was the one that lured her in, manipulated her, threatened to kill her when she didn’t do what he wanted. I mean, that’s what she told you, right?

Daniel: Right. And, you know, I’m sure stark didn’t expect to wind up dead.

Summer: If stark had it his way, then mom would be the one that was dead right now. Both mom and diane are stark’s victim.

Daniel: Exactly. Just let your mom know how happy I am that this part of the nightmare is over for her and I’m sorry that I couldn’t do something to clear her sooner.

Kyle: I’ll certainly pass along your message. And we’ll always owe you a debt of gratitude for coming forward after hearing about phyllis.

Daniel: It was the only right thing to do.

Kyle: Even so, you could have kept phyllis’s secret. I know you wanted to protect her at all costs, but you didn’T. You came forward and set my mom free.

Daniel: Well, I can never stay quiet when someone’s entire future is at stake. I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself otherwise.

Kyle: I– I realize the emotions are complicated for both of you, but the good news is your mother is alive. It’s like a miracle you secretly hope for, but never out loud. I get it. And when phyllis comes forward and explains why she did what she did, christine, the police, they’ll listen. They’ll try to be fair. I know you’re worried about the repercussions, but phyllis is tough as hell. She’ll get through it.

Summer: There shouldn’t be any repercussions. Anything criminal my mom did was in self-defense. She’s not a murderer. She’s just not. The D.A. Is gonna see that. She has to. (Vo) nature valley is committed to protecting our national parks.

Lily: Um, who told you that your dad and I were married?

Lucy: So, it’s true.

Lily: Well, it was a very long time ago.

Lucy: Wow. That’s a yes.

Lily: Okay. Have you talked to your dad about this?

Lucy: No, not– not yet. But– but I can if you’re not comfortable talking about it. I mean, dad will tell me the truth no matter what, even if it’s that awful.

Lily: Well, no, no, no, no. It– it wasn’t awful. I mean, that’s definitely an overstatement.

Lucy: How old were you guys?

Lily: Uh, we were not old enough to be married, that’s for sure.

Lucy: This is crazy. I mean, you’re literally my dad’s ex-wife and you guys just act like your old friends.

Lily: Okay, listen. I do not condone what we did at such a young age. I do not.

Lucy: Okay. Okay. I get it. I won’t run off and marry some kid from homeroom. Tell me everything.

Lily: Oh, gosh. Um…

[ Laughs ] Well, we were married for almost a year, but you know, we were just way too young and, you know, couldn’t handle the responsibility that came our way.

Lucy: I mean, you guys said vows and there– there must have been a marriage license and then a divorce? I mean, just think about all the teasing I can get off of my dad. And wait, doesn’t that make you guys each other’s first loves? Wow. How romantic is that? Now you guys are together again. I mean, that’s a book I’d totally read.

Lily: Okay, hold on.

Lucy: Wait. And if my dad ever tells me that I’m too young to know what love is, I can just point at you guys. I mean, star crossed lovers destined to finally be together.

Lily: Okay, listen.

[ Lily laughing ] We were way too young to handle what was coming our way, okay? The only thing we were destined for was failure. That’s it.

Lucy: Weren’t you guys in love?

Lily: Of course. Yeah, we were very much in love and–

Lucy: Good. Then, you can–

Lily: Hello?

Daniel: Hi.

Lily: Hi.

Daniel: These two little rays of sunshine. What did I miss?

Lucy and lily: Nothing.

[ Lily laughing ]

Sharon: I’m sick to my stomach already.

Nick: What’d you find out?

Chance: So, cameron kirsten was released after serving his original sentence.

Sharon: Oh, no.

Chance: And then he relocated to los angeles.

Sharon: Is he still in L.A.?

Chance: Well, he was arrested there for assaulting his girlfriend.

Nick: That’s his thing. This coward, he goes after women.

Sharon: Same thing he did to me.

Chance: Look at this.

Sharon: That’s his girlfriend?

Chance: Yeah. She looks just like you. I doubt that’s a coincidence.

Nick: Well, do you know where he is now?

Chance: No. He was released six months ago and his whereabouts are unknown.

Nick: Doesn’t he have like a parole officer keeping tabs on him or something?

Chance: I read the report and I’ll admit, it’s kinda sketchy. So, what’s the deal with this guy? I mean, clearly he’s dangerous and outta control. Why don’t you fill me in on what cameron kirsten is capable of?

Cameron: Look, miss, I– I– I don’t wanna crowd you or disturb you or anything like that, but I don’t feel right just leaving you here like this. Are you sure you don’t need medical attention?

Sally: Yeah, I’m– I’m okay. Really. There’s someone else I can call.

[ Sally sighing ]

Adam: Sally?

Sally: Adam, I– I really hate to do this, but can you come get me?

Adam: Um, a– absolutely. What– what’s wrong?

Sally: I– I think I should go see my ob.

Adam: Okay. Um, I’m on my way. Where are you?

Sally: I’m in the park.

Adam: Okay. I– I’ll be there soon and we can get you both looked at, okay? Sally?

Sally: Yeah.

Adam: It’s gonna be okay.

Sally: Right. Yeah. Yeah. It’s– it’s probably nothing.

Adam: Just sit tight.

Cameron: Well, sounds like your hero’s on the way. (Wheezing) deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are. Try cirkul, available now at walmart. And now please welcome ana montoya.

Sharon: I met cameron when I was in denver and I made a terrible mistake. Nick and I were together at the time, but our marriage was in trouble. I tried to drown my troubles in alcohol, and cameron took advantage of that. I trusted him and he became violent.

Chance: He assaulted you.

Sharon: I didn’t want nick to find out what cameron had done to me. I was just going through so much at the time. So, I kept quiet and I never went to the police. I just hid out in denver and waited for my wounds to heal. It was a really hard time in my life. I just wanted to forget that it had ever happened, but I didn’t have a choice when cameron showed up in genoa city. You have to realize that when you saw me in denver, I was a different person.

Cameron: Oh, oh yeah? When– when exactly was that? When you were sitting on that bar stool pretty as a picture slamming tequila shots?

Sharon: I was in a very down, a very down time. I was running away from my own life.

Cameron: But now you’re back.

Sharon: And, um, in a way, you– you did me a favor. Beating me to a pulp like that I realized that I needed my family back.

Cameron: I never beat you. We had a lovely time together.

Sharon: All right. You– you– you believe whatever you wanna believe. I know what my face looked like after you were finished with it.

Nick: If I had known what that bastard had done to you.

Sharon: I was too ashamed. I didn’t want you to know. And cameron exploited that. He blackmailed me into meeting him one night. Made my skin crawl every moment that I was with him. But I just, I still kept telling myself that I can handle this myself. I can handle him. Cameron, I’m begging you. Okay? I’m married. I– I have children. Will you please, please just leave me alone.

Cameron: You were married and you had children when I met you in denver, and you still slept with me.

Sharon: No, no. I– I told you why that happened. Look, I– I was drunk. I– I was horribly depressed and my life was a total disaster.

Cameron: You’re the sexiest woman I’ve ever been with.

Sharon: I was out of my mind, damn it! Do you honestly think that if I had known what I was doing, if I had known what kind of man you are, I would let you take me back to that hotel room?

Cameron: You think I’m a monster? Am I a monster? Look, I don’t know why it happened that way in denver, but I know this. It doesn’t have to be that way this time.

Sharon: Oh, meaning this time you won’t beat me up. Now, there’s an offer I can’t refuse.

Cameron: Don’t– don’t– don’t you do that. Don’t get smart with me.

Sharon: Why are you doing this?

Cameron: I want you like I haven’t wanted a woman in a very, very long time.

Sharon: Too bad.

Cameron: Come on, sharon. I can be anything you want me to be. I can be anything you want me to be. I can be gentle. I can be tender. I can be a little rough if that’s what you want. You tell me.

Sharon: You just don’t get it. I want you out of my life.

Cameron: Yeah? Guess what honey? We don’t always get what we want. Where are you going? You’re not going anywhere. Not yet.

Sharon: Get– get– get off of me!

Cameron: I don’t think so. I have waited too long for this.

[ Cameron shushing ] I promise you. I promise you, you’ll like this.

[ Sharon grunting ] Sit down! You wanna play it this way, huh? Huh? Take off your dress. Get that dress off. Do it. Take it off. Take off that dress now! Don’t make me ask you again.

Sharon: I would rather die.

Cameron: You little whore.

[ Both grunting ]

[ Grunting ] Ah, you bitch!

Sharon: I thought he was dead. I thought that I killed him. I hid his body. I tried to just move on with my life. I thought that the nightmare was over, but it was only just the beginning.

Adam: Here you are. I’m glad that you called me.

Sally: Oh, thank you for coming.

Adam: Of course. Of course. You can call me anytime. Always. Um, do you think that you’re okay to walk? The car’s just right over there.

Sally: I’m– I’m so sorry for interrupting your day. Really. I feel so silly. I just, I had double vision and it passed after I sat down for a little bit, so.

Adam: Well, that’s good, but I still think that we should go to the doctor anyway. I don’t think it would hurt to get you checked out, okay?

Sally: Yeah, no, you’re probably right.

[ Sally panting ]

Adam: What is it? Did you forget something?

Sally: No. There was a guy that was really helpful and he wouldn’t leave until I was okay. I don’t know. I was gonna thank him, but I guess he’s gone.

Adam: Well, I’m glad that somebody was here for you, but come on. I really wanna get you outta here and I wanna get you to the doctor.

Lucy: Dad, your tech team is on fire. The things they were creating were– were amazing. I mean, I just can’t wait to see the animation when it’s all finished.

Daniel: I’m glad you were so impressed.

Lucy: Princess louisa is gonna slay.

Lily: [ Laughing ] I mean, she was so enthralled she didn’t wanna leave.

Daniel: Oh, sounds like we have a hit in the making.

Lucy: And to think, I inspired it all.

Daniel: Best muse ever. Hey, uh, listen. Best muse ever, why don’t you head over to the bar and order some of that pie that you’re so obsessed with.

Lucy: At the bar?

Daniel: Yes, at the bar.

Lucy: And then I assume I’m supposed to eat it there too, so that you two can talk?

[ Lily laughing ]

Daniel: Well, that’s a great idea.

Lucy: Subtle. Seriously.

Daniel: Thank you. I try.

Lily and daniel: I have news.

Lily: Okay.

Kyle: Well, my parents aren’t upstairs.

Summer: They’re not out back or in the kitchen either.

Kyle: Guess mom couldn’t wait to get back out in the world. So much of rushing home to celebrate. I guess they were in a hurry too.

Summer: Who can blame them? You know, they must be over the moon. Nobody thought that it would happen this quickly. You too. I’m really happy for you.

Kyle: Yeah. Well, the relief is intense and I imagine it will only get better. But to be honest, I was terrified in certain moments, just like I know you are with phyllis right now, but I promise you, summer, we will find her and we will bring her home.

Summer: You’re so loving thinking about me and my worries right now.

Kyle: Hey, what else would I be thinking about? You know, we’re a team. I love you, summer. You’ve gotta know that.

Summer: I love you too. I gotta go.

Kyle: What? Where?

Summer: I, um, I’ve got an errand that I need to run and since nobody’s here to celebrate anyway–

Kyle: You’re leaving now? Just like that? Looking for a smarter way to mop?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

[]

Daniel: You go first.

Lily: No, you go first.

Daniel: Okay. Um, well, it’s huge. I mean, chance found proof that mom’s still alive and the charges against diane are being dropped.

Lily: That’s great. That’s amazing. See, wasn’t it worth it coming forward with the news about your mom? You did the right thing and it paid off.

Daniel: It does feel like a big weight’s been lifted.

Lily: So what’s gonna happen to phyllis?

Daniel: I have no idea how things are gonna turn out for her. And I highly doubt that she’s gonna suddenly come out of hiding and face the consequences for what she did.

Lily: Why do you think that?

Daniel: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe ’cause of who she is and what she’s done so far. Honestly, I’m not really sure of anything anymore. Except one thing.

Lily: What?

Daniel: Summer definitely knows where mom is, but she’s not gonna tell me. It’s driving me crazy. You know, thinking that she could be close by somewhere and I can’t see her. I can’t talk to her. I would give anything just to be able to hug her and just tell her that I love her and tell her how much I miss her.

Lily: I’m sorry. I know that’s really hard knowing that she’s close by and you can’t reach her. But listen, no matter what, you set something very important in motion and that’s diane’s freedom. So no matter what happens with your sister, you did the right thing.

Daniel: Summer would disagree, but it was a good thing. It was the right thing. I needed to be reminded of that. What was it you wanted to say?

Lily: Oh, uh, lucy knows that we used to be married.

Daniel: Who told her that?

Lily: I don’t know.

Daniel: Okay. How’d she take the news?

Lily: She was thrilled because she now feels like we’re star-crossed lovers who were destined to be together again.

Nick: If kirsten has a nerve to show his face in this town again after what he did, thinking he could weasel his way back into sharon’s life again–

Sharon: We don’t know that’s the case.

Nick: But he was obsessed with you, sharon, and he clearly still is. He’s deranged. The things he did to you, sharon thought he was dead and gone.

Chance: Meaning what?

Sharon: He made every moment a loving hell for me. He started all of that by haunting me outside of a window, somewhere in the shadows, so I could never get a moment away from my crime or my shame. It’s just all pain. Hold me tight. I was on edge, I was unraveling. And then one day, cameron showed up. He was alive and well. He said that he had been away on some island or something. He was acting as if nothing had ever happened. But this time he didn’t want me, just me. He wanted revenge. He wanted me to suffer.

Nick: He framed sharon for murder, then took her hostage.

Sharon: If it weren’t for nick, I wouldn’t be here right now telling you this. Nick, be careful. You’re gonna kill him.

Cameron: We’re both dead already.

Nick: Just like frank barrett, huh? I got the whole thing on tape. You’re going down, bitch. And this is for frank.

Pilot: Mr. Kirsten, everything all right back there?

Sharon: Nick, we are gonna parachute out of the airplane?

Nick: Babe, this may be our last chance to get out of this alive.

Sharon: God! Have you ever done this before?

Nick: Yeah. A couple times. It’s no sweat. Now listen to me. You jump out of the plane. You count to three, you pull this, all right?

Sharon: Okay.

Nick: Count to three. Pull that.

Sharon: Okay.

Nick: And we’re taking him with us.

Sharon: Nick, I’m so scared.

Nick: Don’t be. We’re gonna be fine. Now, come on. You’re gonna be fine. Count to three and pull. Let’s go. Get down there. Babe, when I open this door, you gotta hang on.

Sharon: Okay.

[ Door opening ]

Nick: I don’t care if you do it or not, but in three seconds, you might wanna pull that cord. Come on, babe. You turn. Come on. You can do this. You can do this. I love you. In three seconds, pull it.

Sharon: Okay.

Nick: Three seconds, okay?

Sharon: Okay.

Cameron: You are so sure that you’ve won.

Nick: We have won. Look at you. You’re pathetic and you’re gonna wish you were dead when all this is over.

Cameron: Then, you better kill me now, slick, ’cause if I walk outta here, you are dead.

Sharon: It was supposed to be over then. He was arrested, convicted.

Nick: He still needs to be in a cell.

Chance: Well, unfortunately that’s not the case.

Nick: But you understand what we’re dealing with.

Sharon: He’s relentless, vicious, and I will never let him terrorize me like that again.

Summer: I’m sorry, kyle. I– I’ll be back soon and we’ll all toast to your mom and her freedom. I– I promise you. It’s just– I– I have some things that I need to check on at the office.

Kyle: Now? Can’t you make a few calls and handle it from here?

Summer: I won’t be long. Please understand, okay? I’m not gonna be long. Ladies…

[ Sally sighing ]

Adam: Oh, false alarm. Just like we hoped. You and the baby are gonna be just fine.

Sally: It’s not that simple.

Adam: No, I know. You’re right. But your new medication is gonna be delivered soon. The doc is taking care of things. You’re gonna take the meds, you’re gonna ease up on stress and anxiety. And like she said, smaller, more frequent meals, okay? This is very doable. We got this. Look, everything is going to be alright.

Sally: You can’t be sure of that. I’ve been so careful. I have done everything that the doctor said. I’ve been eating well, I’ve been getting sleep, I’ve been taking my vitamins. How can I be at risk for preeclampsia when I’ve been doing all the right things?

Adam: I don’t know. It’s– it’s one of life’s mysteries. But now we know, so we’re gonna follow the doctor’s orders.

Sally: Yeah, but it’s not we. It’s me.

[ Voice breaks ] And I did something wrong.

Adam: No, you did something very right. That is why you called your ob exactly when you needed to.

[ Sally sniffling ]

Sally: Chloe and i really need to dive in to this assignment for chancellor-winters. Taking it easy is not on the agenda right now.

Adam: I’m sure that chloe would love the chance to shine. I mean, this could be her chance to show everybody how brilliantly talented she is. Why not ease up on the work and let her do more of it? I know that she could dazzle chancellor-winters. She could knock their socks off if she had the chance.

Sally: You really think so?

Adam: As a friend and a colleague, let her show what she’s got. Just– just delegate. That’ll give you more time to rest.

Sally: Since when did you become so calm and reasonable?

Kyle: Summer.

Summer: Kyle. What are you doing here? Did you follow me?

Kyle: Actually, I did. But only because you left the house without your tablet. I figured you would need it since you were going to the office, but I was surprised when you didn’t go to marchetti. What are you doing here?

Chance: I’m sorry to make you go through all that again. This guy is clearly a dirt bag. I appreciate you sharing that with me.

Nick: What good is it gonna do? You can’t do anything until this guy crosses the line and he knows that. He’s smart. He hasn’t made his way to genoa city, but I’m sure it’s on the agenda.

Chance: Look, I– I get it’s frustrating, but know the guy’s on my radar now, all right? He is a known perp contacting a former victim. That’s a dangerous combination. So, here’s what I think we do. If you guys get any more mysterious messages, keep sending them to me. I’m gonna see if I can find out where he’s been since he got outta L.A.

Nick: I do not want this guy anywhere near sharon or the girls.

Chance: I understand that. One step at a time, brother, okay?

Sharon: Thank you, chance. Just find out where cameron is and what he’s up to. We’ll decide what to do from there. (Bridget) with thyroid eye disease

Summer: I– I just came here to pick up a spa gift certificate for diane.

Kyle: That’s thoughtful of you, but you could have told me about it.

Summer: I know. I know. It’s just, you know, I’m feeling my way here ’cause things have been so ugly and difficult.

Kyle: Yeah, it has been for everyone. And I appreciate you doing everything you can to try to get past what’s happened. Well, I guess I better get back to the house in case my parents have gone back. Um, don’t forget your tablet for the office.

Summer: Kyle, wait. Hey, we can both go home together.

Kyle: You sure? What about the gift card and the office?

Summer: Well, I can get the gift card online and the office, it can wait ’til tomorrow. I would much rather be with you right now.

Kyle: Well, I’d much rather be with you too.

Summer: Hey, why don’t we pick up some bubbly on the way home so we can celebrate with your folks. And some balloons. Think that harrison might like that?

Kyle: Oh, champagne for the grownups, a balloon for the boy. Now, it’s a party. Come on.

Daniel: Yeah. I really wish you didn’t have to leave so soon.

Lucy: Yeah, I know. I’m meeting mom back in savannah. We have a few parties and some friends we’re meeting up with. I’ve missed them a lot.

Lily: Aw, I’m sure they miss you too. So, back to europe?

Lucy: Yeah. Mom’s got work to go back to. The blue suit gang.

Lily: Ah, the blue suit gang.

[ Lily and lucy laughing ]

Daniel: I’m sorry, the who?

Lucy: Inside joke.

Lily: Yeah, we have those now.

Adam: Me? Calm and reasonable? Hm.

Sally: It’s pretty shocking, huh?

[ Adam laughing ]

Adam: Uh, well if I’m acting that way, it’s only ’cause I’m– I’m putting you and the baby first. And in order to do that, I have to be calm and reasonable, no matter how much it goes against my nature

Sally: And boy, does it ever. But just so you know, I– I really appreciate it.

Adam: Can I tell you something?

Sally: Sure.

Adam: I’m just glad that– that you called me instead of nick. Oh, you– you– you did call nick, didn’t you? You– you– you called him first. Okay. I mean that makes sense. I get it. Um, I’m fine with that.

Sally: Really?

Adam: Really. Really. Uh, but you need to get your rest, so, um, I can, uh, I can stay or I can go. It’s your call.

Sally: Um, actually I would really appreciate it if you stayed. Maybe just for a little longer.

Sharon: Chance will have an update on cameron’s whereabouts as soon as he can.

Nick: Not if cameron doesn’t wanna be found.

Sharon: He’s screaming for attention. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent me the champagne and the postcard and the cigar box. Maybe that’s all it will be. Some creepy deliveries. He’s already been in prison twice before. Is he really gonna risk a third?

Nick: Who knows what he’s gonna do? He’s incapable of rational thought. Seriously, what is to stop him from making his way back to genoa city again?

Faith: Oh, my gosh. I’m so sorry. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.

Cameron: No problem at all.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: Have you seen your mother?

Kyle: No, but I’m sure she’s around here somewhere. House arrest humor.

Jack: Not funny. And don’t let your mother hear you joking like that.

Kyle: Have you seen summer this morning by chance?

Jack: No. Have you tried texting her?

Kyle: I was hoping I wouldn’t have to. Last night, it felt like we were reconnecting. She apologized for being distant and pulling away, but she’s left without a word to me. Again, I wish it didn’t get to me, but it does.

Jack: Well, we’re all under a pressure cooker. There’s no telling how anyone’s going to react.

Diane: Oh, the conquering hero has returned.

Jack: Well, I don’t know about hero, but I got a book.

Diane: Yes, from a bookstore. So, you spoke to people. Thank you.

Jack: When you are a free woman, I will take you anywhere you want to go.

[ Diane exhaling ]

Diane: You know what? Let’s just go now, okay? Come with me, jack. Let’s just get out of here.

Michael: There she is, my favorite district attorney. Beautiful morning, isn’t it? I assume, since you picked the restaurant, I’m gonna pay.

Christine: Always a pleasure, michael.

Michael: Oh, oh, and you’re gonna offer, um, an insulting plea bargain, I’m gonna let you know right now that my client will most assuredly decline it, in the light of the fact that her supposed victim is, um, wait for it, still alive. Boom.

Christine: No deal.

Michael: And if I’m not paying, then why are you wasting my time?

Christine: There’s been a development.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: Getting coffee?

Daniel: No. I’m picking up something for lucy.

Summer: Let me guess, cinnamon bun?

Daniel: How do you know that?

Summer: We’re a family of cinnamon lovers.

Daniel: Must’ve skipped me.

Summer: Like so many other traits.

Daniel: Hm?

Summer: Let’s just skip it.

Daniel: Good idea. How are you doing?

Summer: I don’t know. My mom is in exile, jack and kyle just want to drag her back so she can be arrested and diane is dying to be my bestie, so I’m pretty much living a nightmare.

Daniel: Well, I know one thing that can make all your worries just disappear.

Summer: Magic?

Daniel: Mom comes home. No matter the consequences. Just like that.

Summer: Just like that? I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

Daniel: You know, when I talked this through with lily earlier, she made a lot of good points about accepting responsibility and earning forgiveness.

Summer: You told lily? All of it? Wow. Daniel, are you seriously incapable in keeping a secret? What’s wrong with you?

Daniel: I’m sorry, because I want our mother to come home? Yes, how dare I?

Summer: She’s not home if she’s in a prison cell. That part doesn’t seem to bother you at all, does it? But, there’s still time. Our special guest hasn’t arrived yet.

Nick: I’m gonna stop by later. I’m, uh, really calling about cameron. Have you talked to chance? Does he know anything about cameron’s location?

Sharon: Not yet. But on the bright side, I haven’t received anymore creepy postcards or bloody souvenirs.

Nick: Well, let’s hope it stays that way.

Sharon: You know, maybe this is all a misunderstanding and cameron’s still in prison. The twisted gifts are the last desperate acts of a man who’s locked away from society.

Nick: But why reach out now? You know, after all this time?

Sharon: I’m trying to set this aside for today.

Nick: Yeah, I hear you, sharon, but until we hear from chance though, we have to err on the side of caution. If cameron has been released, you have to protect yourself and you can’t do that until you know for sure.

Nikki: Nicholas?

Nick: I gotta run. Call me if you learn anything, okay?

Sharon: I will. Bye.

[ Footsteps ] Hello?

[ Door opening ]

Faith: That’s how you welcome your daughter? What are you doing?

Sharon: Um, I’m cleaning up. Come in. You’re here. You’re home. You made it.

Faith: Oh, mom. It’s so good to see you.

Sharon: Let me look at you, my sweet girl.

Faith: Wait. I brought someone home from school. He didn’t have anywhere to go. I really hope you don’t mind.

Nick: We should be ready to close that deal once we get the paperwork back from legal.

Nikki: To hell with the paperwork. Cameron’s been released? Where is that monster now?

[ Cameron sighing ]

Cameron: Ah.

[ Cameron sighing ] Oh. Oh.

[ Cameron sighing ] Oh, hey there, you handsome devil. And since no one’s told you yet, welcome back to genoa city. It is been way too long. Febreze!

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Nick: We don’t know if cameron’s been released. It’s just speculation at this point.

Nikki: Well, how did this issue even come up?

Nick: It’s just curiosity. Nothing more.

Nikki: Because if he has been released–

Nick: Mom, we will be all over it. I promise you, if anything changes, I will tell you.

Nikki: Please do. Because we can’t have a repeat of that situation. How’s everything else?

Nick: Well, I’m glad you asked. We need to talk.

Nikki: Okay, if it’s about the abu dhabi deal–

Nick: It’s not. It’s about vic and nate. What’s your opinion about that? Actually, let me give you mine first. It is a disaster waiting to happen.

Summer: Do you even… do you even know what loyalty is? Or– or how to keep a secret?

Daniel: Yeah, you might be used to this level of chaos and deception. I am not.

Summer: Right. Your life is perfect and righteous. I forgot.

Daniel: Yeah, I needed one person to talk to. Someone who wasn’t going to condemn me. Someone who could maybe see my side of things. That person happened to be lily and you just can’t accept it. You gotta turn it into this huge betrayal.

Summer: Fine. Have a friend, but you better hope that she is better at keeping a secret than you are. I’m so stupid. Like, why did I even tell you any of this?

Daniel: It doesn’t matter. Mom called me too. She may not have spoken on the phone, but I knew it was her. So, I would’ve figured it out eventually.

Summer: You know what, daniel? You need to be careful. Because if other people start finding out about this. I don’t know, people who… own media companies, then you are putting our mom in serious danger.

Daniel: You seem to be the one with all the knowledge. So, what do you suggest we do?

Summer: She stays hidden. Until we can prove that the situation she was in was kill or be killed. I don’t know, maybe we– we try to find the emt. Stark must’ve paid him off to do what he did.

Daniel: That’s a good point.

Summer: So, we find him, we get him to corroborate mom’s story–

Daniel: We can’t put all our trust in one guy though. Especially when his whereabouts are unknown.

Summer: Well, what else are we gonna do? We can’t just do nothing.

Daniel: What about kyle?

Summer: What about kyle?

Daniel: You know that this is upsetting him. You know he doesn’t like seeing his mother suffer like this.

Summer: Yeah, living in the lap of luxury, surrounded by her family. Poor diane.

Daniel: Mom started this. She’s the one who chose this path.

Summer: People make mistakes, daniel. Chance. Hi.

Chance: Hey.

Daniel: What’s up, man?

Chance: A lot, actually. I have some news.

Summer: How bad is it?

Chance: Depends on how you look at it.

Kyle: Uh, can I get you anything?

Diane: Yeah, yeah. A night at the movies. A day at the park. Feeding the ducks at the pond with harrison.

Jack: We will have all of that if we just show patience and a little bit of faith.

Diane: I’m trying.

Jack: I know.

Kyle: I was worried you were gonna bolt. Set off the alarm bells.

Diane: No. I’m not running anywhere. I have too much to stay for. But phyllis, on the other hand, she’s probably off on some island, sunning herself.

Jack: I know it’s frustrating, but we’re not giving up, are we?

Kyle: Someone will find her, the charges will be dropped, and we’ll all go back to our normal lives.

Diane: But time is running out.

Jack: Wait, why do you say that?

Diane: Because the longer it takes to find her, the farther away she can get. She can change her name. She can meet all the right people who will help her do all the wrong things. Trust me, trust me. I know how easy it is for a motivated person to disappear.

Kyle: They are going to find her.

Diane: I don’t know. By then, I may be rotting away in some prison cell. I think– I think we all just need to come to terms with it. It is what it is.

[ Doorbell ringing ]

Kyle: Hi. Um, come in.

Christine: Sorry to barge in like this.

Michael: But this is one of those times where you, um, don’t wanna kill the messenger.

Jack: Has something happened?

Michael: I wanna see the look on diane’s face when she gets the news.

Christine: We’re dropping the charges.

Diane: What?

Kyle: Yes! I knew it.

Jack: Some prayers are answered. Wow.

Diane: Wait. It– it’s true? This is real? It’s over?

Christine: It’s really over.

Diane: Oh, god. Kayaking is my thing.

Sharon: You– you brought a friend home?

Faith: I hope it’s not a big deal. I told him it wouldn’t be.

Sharon: Well, it’s not moses, is it?

Faith: No, but moses loves him too. I’ll be right back.

Sharon: You know, if you’d told me that you were bringing someone, I would’ve straightened up the guest room.

Faith: He can fall asleep anywhere. You’ll love him. Everybody does. Mom, borgnine. Borgnine, mom. He’s a cat.

Sharon: Yeah. Well, welcome borgnine. As long as you’re here, you’re family.

Faith: Speaking of family, when do I get to meet my new niece? I can’t wait to cuddle something that doesn’t shed on me.

Tessa: Did we hear someone asking about a niece?

Sharon: Hey! Come on in. Come in. Ah, I love having a full house. Everybody please, take a seat.

Mariah: What is going on here?

Sharon: Um, this is a cat.

Mariah: Oh.

Sharon: Who is staying in faith’s room, right now. Just a sec.

Mariah: Wow.

Faith: Is this our bundle of love?

Mariah: Oh, yes. Aria, I’m so glad you’re awake because you are about to meet somebody very important.

Tessa: See, this beautiful young woman is your aunt faith.

Faith: Hello, aria. I’m so happy to finally meet you. I have waited for this moment for such a long time. Normally, I would tell you that I’ll be the one to take you for your first tattoo or concert, but since your moms came pre-loaded with that stuff, I’m pretty sure it won’t be a problem.

Tessa: Well, that will be a long way off.

Mariah: Thank you.

[ Mariah and faith laughing ]

[ Faith sighing ]

Faith: She’s so beautiful. I love her already. Welcome to the family, aria.

Nikki: Well, it’s a shame that elena had to be hurt in this. She’s a lovely young woman. But victoria seems very happy.

Nick: Oh yeah, she was real happy about ashton too. And we know how that turned out.

Nikki: Yes. But, there was no way she could have known that he was the monster he turned out to be and anyway, we all welcomed him into the family.

Nick: No, not all of us.

Nikki: All right. The thing is, victoria does not need a chaperone.

Nick: We’ll agree to disagree on that.

Nikki: What do you have against nate? I mean, we’ve known him forever.

Nick: He was different then. Now, I don’t know. It’s like he can’t operate, so now he’s just stabbing everybody in the back. This isn’t gonna end well. Not for any of us.

Nate: Latte delivery.

Audra: You’re a mind reader. Thanks. Come in. Tell me everything I need to know.

Nate: What? About the streaming deal?

Audra: You said that you had some updated numbers that we can plug in.

Nate: Ah, yes. I meant to bring that printout, but I got distracted by something else.

Audra: Something… important?

Nate: Breakfast with victor.

Audra: What did he want? And how bad did it get?

Nate: Oh, it was going great. And then, we started talking about his daughter. And my future.

Diane: No murder charge? No– no trial? It’s all just wiped away?

Christine: The lead detective found evidence that phyllis was alive at the time of her memorial.

Michael: No body, no murder, no crime.

Diane: This is unbelievable.

Kyle: But how?

Christine: Well, chance followed up on the strand of hair that you found at the motel, which led him to finding a program from phyllis’ memorial.

Michael: Yeah. The lab examined the evidence, they found phyllis’ fingerprints as well as her dna, which proved that she was very much alive after she was declared dead.

Jack: There it is. What did I tell you? The proof we’ve been hoping for.

Kyle: You made it, mom. You’re free.

Christine: So, on behalf of the prosecutor’s office, and myself, I just, want to apologize. These were extraordinary circumstances.

Diane: So, what happens now? Now that you know that phyllis is alive? What happens to phyllis?

Chance: So, the lab ran some tests on evidence I found and they just called me back with the results.

Daniel: Is it a match to our mom?

Chance: You were right to believe your brother. Phyllis is alive. And you did see her, like you said.

Summer: So everything daniel said is true.

Daniel: I would imagine that this means D.A. Will drop the charges against diane.

Chance: Yeah. They’re telling her right now.

Summer: Oh, she must be thrilled. I’m sure you are too, right? Is this what you hoped? Diane is free. But what about my mom? What’s gonna happen to her?

Chance: Look, it’s out of my hands at this point. All I know is that when we find phyllis, she will be facing charges.

Summer: If you find her.

Chance: Oh, we’ll find her. Christine is not gonna let her get away with this. I guarantee, she’ll call a press conference and have a perp walk when we find her.

Summer: Christine has always had a grudge against my mom.

Chance: Well, after the money, the man hours, and the embarrassment, phyllis is now the poster girl for what happens to the rich and powerful when they bend the law. Christine wants her to pay.

[ Summer exhaling ] I won’t let me moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

Faith: Is it possible that aria’s even cuter when she’s asleep?

Tessa: No, that’s what I’ve been saying.

Faith: You can wake her up and do a comparison.

Tessa: Don’t you dare.

Mariah: I will kill you.

Faith: I’m kidding. I would never.

Mariah: We have house rules.

Tessa: You wake her up, you put her back.

[ Faith laughing ]

Faith: I want to know everything. Every time that mom calls, she’s always too busy to asking me about myself to tell me what I’m missing.

Sharon: Well, some things you need to hear about in person.

Mariah: I mean, you know about the gala. And phyllis.

Faith: It’s awful. Poor summer. I’ve called and texted but she never answers.

Sharon: Don’t take that personally. She needs time.

Faith: How’s dad?

Sharon: You will see for yourself soon.

Faith: And how about new motherhood to the world’s cutest baby?

Tessa: It’s the hardest job we’ll ever love.

Faith: I love that. Anything else I’m missing?

Sharon: Um, I’m just happy to have all my ladies here with me. Other than that, um, nothing unusual.

Cameron: Money doesn’t have much of a conscience.

Sharon: Yeah. Well, what about you, mr. Kirsten?

Cameron: Well, my conscience is, um, is kind of like my lawyer, my accountant. I can consult it, but, uh I don’t always follow its advice.

Sharon: If you ever, ever, mention to my husband having met me before, I will make sure that the whole world knows what a sicko you are.

Cameron: Don’t threaten me. Because you know what? I got nothing to hide. Now you, on the other hand, you seem to feel you have quite a bit to lose.

Sharon: My children are young, okay? They need me. Now, what possible pleasure could you get out of harming them? Well, that was a stupid question, wasn’t it?

Cameron: Not at all. I like that you came looking for me. So, we can discuss this privately.

Sharon: Please tell nicholas that you can’t make this dinner.

Cameron: Let me ask you something. Do I get a, uh, a little something in return?

[ Cameron sighing ]

Christine: At the very least, phyllis is guilty of fraud and obstruction of justice. On the other end of the spectrum, we have the murder of jeremy stark.

Michael: Which was reportedly self-defense.

Diane: Yeah.

Christine: Once they can track down how the ambulance crash was staged and how the bodies were switched out, that list is gonna get longer and longer.

Jack: It finally happened. Kyle, what do you think?

Kyle: It’s great. I mean, we can pick back up where we left off, wherever that was.

[ Laughing ] I need to find summer. She has to hear this from me.

Daniel: I’m just glad that diane can be back with her family, for good. We both are.

Summer: Right. Yeah. Of course.

Daniel: I just wish we could do the same for mom.

Chance: Well, look. Everything’s up in the air until we get a statement. I gotta run, but I’ll be in touch with any updates.

Summer: Wait, chance. That can’t be it. You must’ve found something else in the motel. Evidence to prove that it was self-defense?

Chance: The room wasn’t even preserved a crime scene. I was lucky to find what I did. Any sign of struggle, it was long gone somewhere.

Summer: Well, how am I supposed to help my mom?

Chance: You know I can’t advise you on that.

Summer: But she is innocent until proven guilty, right? All I’m asking for is that she’s able to come home without an extended prison stay. Look, any guidance that you can give me.

Chance: I’ll do what I can. Within the bounds of the law, okay?

Summer: Of course. I wouldn’t expect anything else.

Chance: First of all, phyllis needs to come home and she needs to make a statement. We all need to hear this from her lips. (Wheezing)

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Audra: You went toe-to-toe with victor newman himself and lived to talk about it.

Nate: It wasn’t toe-to-toe. It was a friendly conversation.

Audra: Does victor do friendly? He was trying to get a read on you, which basically determines your entire future. So, tell me all the details.

Nate: Well first, we started talking about my past as a physician. All the while, I’m trying to figure out what this meeting was about. Then, he brought up victoria.

Audra: Nothing like a little fatherly interference.

Nate: That’s when I knew that the only way out was being totally honest.

Audra: And that’s when you lost your job.

Nate: Will you please let me finish the story? He mentioned a time I did him a favor, that almost led to me losing my job. I was his personal physician for a while, and it almost cost me my medical license. Boy, was I furious, for a while. But, I understand him and his family better now.

Audra: I mean, it sounds like he trusts you. That’s worth a lot to men like him. You impressed an actual legend. That’s pretty huge. And now you’re seeing his daughter, and it sounds like you have his blessing.

Nate: But there’s this one problem.

Audra: Name it.

Nate: Nick.

[ Girls laughing ]

Mariah: Hey.

Nick: There she is.

Faith: Hello.

Nick: Look at that. We sent away a little girl, they sent back a scholar.

Faith: Oh, it’s so good to be home.

Nick: Hey, don’t stay away so long next time. I mean, noah got tired of waiting and he just took off.

Faith: Untrue.

Nick: Okay, that’s probably right.

Faith: It is so not my fault. He opened up a glam club in the uk.

Sharon: He’s back in his old stomping grounds.

Mariah: And it’s safe to travel there now because his ex lives here.

Faith: And allie’s learning the ropes at the jabot lab in paris?

Sharon: Oh, did he tell you? It is the sweetest thing. Each weekend, one of them takes the train to visit the other. Or, they both spend a few days in some other country in europe.

Faith: Poor kids. Their lives are so empty.

Nick: Yeah, their passports are probably junked up with a bunch of stamps from exotic locations.

Tessa: Yeah. Like, why couldn’t they just do something romantic instead?

Mariah: Like come babysit.

Tessa: Yeah.

Faith: As gorgeous and time consuming as aria is, it’s no excuse to put your music on hold, tessa. Next on my road to building my business portfolio? I think I should start guiding your music career.

Tessa: Can we bring the baby on tour?

Mariah: I mean, I can work remotely for jabot.

[ Doorbell ringing ]

Nick: Are you expecting anyone else?

Diane: Right now, I am thinking about the one person who can give me what I want.

Michael: Don’t look at me, I’ve done all the tricks I know.

Christine: Oh, I think I know who she’s looking for. Oh.

Michael: Ah.

Christine: Right on cue.

Chance: Morning.

Diane: Good morning.

Christine: And on that note, my work is done here.

Jack: Christine. Thank you.

Diane: Yes, thank you so much.

Christine: All right, she’s all yours.

Chance: All right.

Diane: And I cannot wait another second.

Chance: It’ll be quick. I promise.

Kyle: Chance, we owe you our thanks, and probably a few apologies.

Jack: Absolutely. I wasn’t always my best self in all of this and I know that.

Chance: Well, work usually starts with the worst day of someone’s life, so I get it. No apologies needed. All right. You are free to go. Or stay here because you live here.

Diane: I am free to come and go.

Kyle: You can live your life again. How do you feel?

Diane: I feel fantastic. Thank you. Thank all of you for everything. You’ve– you’ve given me my life back.

Daniel: I just hope that wherever mom is, she is staying safe.

Summer: You’re the one that put her in danger. Now, you’re worried about her? That’s really rich.

Daniel: I know, it’s all my fault. You did nothing wrong. She did nothing wrong.

Summer: Daniel, I told you that she was alive in confidence. And look at what you’ve done?

Daniel: God, I am so sorry that I have a conscience.

Summer: There’s a full-blown manhunt for our mom.

Daniel: I know.

Summer: All she wanted was to get her ducks in a row. Was that really too much to ask?

Daniel: Diane might disagree.

Summer: Yeah, well diane has her own family that is worried about her. Mom is supposed to be our family. I mean, you heard chance. Christine is out for blood.

Daniel: Do you wanna keep going off on me? Or do you wanna actually try and maybe work together and figure out a way that we can help mom.

[ Summer exhaling ] Okay, look, have you left anymore messages for her on that number that she called you from?

Summer: No.

Daniel: Maybe we need to change tactics. Maybe, I should call her, I leave her a message, tell her that the police are looking for her, beg her to come home.

Summer: Absolutely not. You do that and she’s gonna run and she’s never gonna look back. Not for her own sake, but for us. All she cares about right now is protecting us.

Daniel: Why does it sound like you have inside information? Like you know what’s going on inside mom’s head?

Summer: Because we think alike.

Daniel: Have you been in touch? Have you seen her again? Summer, do you know where she is? We’re done.

Audra: How is nick a problem for you?

Nate: He’s had it out for me at least since victoria gave me sally spectra’s job. And now, he sees I have the chops for this job he didn’t think I deserved. I’ve watched him over the years.

Audra: What’s your read?

Nate: Tenacious. And that’s when he doesn’t even give a damn. But this is about me and his sister. He didn’t trust ashland and he was right to do so, but now he thinks he’s victoria’s noble protector. And he’s not giving up.

Audra: What will you do?

Nate: Handle the problem.

Audra: Well, he’s a newman. Handling him is going to be a delicate operation.

Nate: And that’s where you come in.

Nick: Did that wake up the baby?

Tessa: No, I don’t think so.

Nick: I thought I heard her fussing a little.

Faith: I didn’t hear anything.

Nick: Well, that’s because you don’t have supersonic parent hearing like we do, faith. I mean, even while she’s asleep, she’s adorable.

Tessa: I just could not agree more.

Mariah: I mean, sometimes we’ll just look at her at home for hours and hours. It’s very, very hypnotizing.

Nick: What about you, faith? Are you hypnotized by your niece?

Faith: She’s great. But when will she start doing… stuff?

Mariah: Well faith, that is a very good question. You know the child development books say that around six months, she starts doing stuff.

Faith: I didn’t mean it like that.

Mariah: Is my child boring to you? She’s boring you.

Faith: No. I love her. I could just use some feedback.

Mariah: Oh, I’ll give you some feedback, college girl.

Faith: Oh, what’s in the box?

Mariah: I wish it was pizza.

Tessa: In the morning?

Mariah: What? I’m hungry.

Faith: I thought it might be cat food for borgnine. I placed an order before I came home.

Nick: What? You have a cat?

Faith: Yeah.

Nick: A live one?

Faith: Yeah.

Tessa: Cute.

Nick: Where is it?

Mariah: It’s in her room.

Tessa: When do we get to see him?

Faith: I know. I have to show you.

Jack: It feels like christmas.

Diane: We have so much celebrating to do.

Jack: Kyle said this day would come.

Kyle: Yeah, I just wish summer was here.

Jack: You know this isn’t gonna be easy for her. Great that phyllis is alive, but–

Kyle: She’s gotta wonder where she is, worry about what’s next for her legally. Not to mention all the guilt. Knowing her mother was so hell-bent on revenge, she was willing to go to–

Diane: Nothing from summer yet?

Kyle: She’s not answering my texts.

Diane: Oh, I saw her this morning. She was taking a big bag of things to the clothing drive at the women’s center.

Kyle: She didn’t mention anything about that to me. I’ll see if I can catch up with her. Let you two get reacquainted.

Diane: But before you go. Kyle I– I don’t know what I would’ve done without your love and your faith in me.

Jack: Hey, he wasn’t alone.

[ Diane laughing ]

Diane: Okay. Both of you. No, seriously, I will never forget what you did for me and um, I will spend the rest of forever showing you how much you mean to me.

Jack: Get over here.

Kyle: Aw.

Summer: I know what mom’s thinking because I know how she thinks.

Daniel: If you know where she is and you’re not telling me–

Summer: Then I’d have a very good reason, wouldn’t I?

Daniel: Oh, come on, summer. Is she okay? Will you at least tell me that? I mean, I deserve to know that. Is there something that I can do to help?

Summer: Our mom is a survivor. She can take care of herself.

Daniel: Yeah. Yeah, you’re right, summer. You and mom, you are just two of a kind. But you know, as tough as you are, sometimes you need some help. You can’t just fix this on your own.

Summer: You’ve done enough already. So thanks, but no thanks.

Daniel: If you wanna blame me, fine, blame me, but at least give me the chance to help turn things around and help with this. We need each other right now whether you want to admit it or not. Mom knows that too.

Summer: I know where she is.

Daniel: How is she?

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

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

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

Daniel: I can help.

Summer: Not if I can’t trust you.

Daniel: Summer, this is a mistake. This is too big. It is too risky for you to do on your own. You need to let me in.

Summer: I can’t do that. Not with mom’s freedom at stake.

Daniel: So you’re just gonna cut me out? Just like that? Even though I can help.

Summer: You know what you can do to help? You can back off. I’m the one that’s helping her. And I swear to you, daniel, if you tell anyone else about this.

Daniel: Hey, kyle.

Kyle: Yeah, what’s this? It looked intense. What are you two talking about?

Chance: Detective chancellor. Yeah, yeah, I was the one who left that message. Did you get that information I was asking you about? That’s right, the name is cameron kirsten. You don’t say.

Nick: Famous last words.

Faith: It just means I have a big heart.

Nick: Well, now you are back where you belong. You and borgnine.

[ Girls laughing ]

Tessa: We missed you so much.

Faith: It’s so good to be home.

Recap written by Terry

Chance reported to DA Christine that dried tears on a program at Phyllis’ memorial matched the DNA from the blood found in the ambulance that crashed and burned while supposedly carrying Phyllis. Chris concluded it meant only mean one thing – Phyllis is alive. Chris became furious, stating that what Phyllis did was vindictive and vicious and was done to get back at one woman (Diane). Chris said Phyllis had no idea what she had unleashed and vowed to prosecute everyone involved in the scheme.

Summer met with her mother in her room to bring her food and personal items. Summer warned her not to leave. Phyllis asked her daughter if she trusted her, but Summer replied that she didn’t. Phyllis apologized for what she had put Summer and Daniel through and promised to make it up to them. Summer said that first they have to clear her name. “I didn’t do all this so you could go to prison,” Summer said. Earlier, in an effort to avoid prison, Phyllis searched online for something about the EMT that Jeremy Stark paid off, and for something to give her proof she was right to protect herself when she killed him.

Daniel told Lily that Phyllis is alive and that she killed Jeremy Stark in self defense after he attacked her. Lily was furious, saying a mother is supposed to protect her children and be a role model, but Phyllis let her kids think that she was dead and let them grieve. She said Phyllis was taking the easy way out and won’t come back until she faced zero consequences. Lily called her selfish and a coward. She told Daniel that while she did not support the choices of Summer and Phyllis, she supports Daniel because he loves them. Daniel said he did love them, but he didn’t know if that was enough anymore, unaware that Summer told her mother that repairing their relationship was not a priority now.

Earlier, at the Abbott mansion, Diane told Summer she was sorry for the stress her situation is causing Kyle and Summer and that she is there for them.

Victor apologized for his harsh statements against Chance, regarding the breakup of Chance and Abby’s marriage. Victor said he had a deeper understanding and that Chance had every reason to raise a fist against him. Chance replied that he would be foolish to try. Victor asked if the accusations against Diane were true. Chance said he could not comment on the investigation.

Nate met with Victor and asked if he, Nate, was in for a grilling (because he’s dating Victoria.) Victor said it was just a friendly catch-up. Nate thought he was meeting with Victor because Nick is completely opposed to Nate being in the company and with Victoria. Victor asked him what his intentions were regarding Victoria. Nate stated he had no intentions of undermining the company or Victoria.

Billy noticed a spring in Victoria’s step when he saw her at Crimson Lights. She admitted she was dating Nate, but she steered the conversation towards their children and the dinner that Johnny attended with Chelsea, Billy, Lily, Daniel, Lucy and Connor. Victoria said Lucy’s name came up a few times in conversation later, so Lucy must have made a real impression on Johnny. Billy said he felt something was in the air.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Lily: Hello. The only thing you’re gonna find at the bottom of that coffee cup is a case of the jitters.

[ Lily laughing ] Are you still not sleeping?

Daniel: Is it that obvious?

Lily: Well, only to the trained eye.

Daniel: Do you want a cup?

Lily: Um, no, I’m good. I’m gonna be charged and centered.

Daniel: Yoga?

Lily: Yeah. You wanna join me?

[ Daniel chuckling ] No? Okay.

[ Lily laughing ] You know you can always call me, right? Even if it’s the middle of the night. I really wish there was something I could do to help you.

Daniel: Would you, um, would you actually come up to my room for a minute? I gotta tell you something.

Phyllis: Every slug leaves a trail. Where’s your trail, stark? And will it help clear my name?

[ Phyllis sighing ]

Diane: Summer, where are you sneaking off to and what’s in all the bags?

Victor: Good morning, detective.

Chance: Morning.

Victor: How are you?

Chance: I’m all right. How’re you doing?

Victor: All right. You know, I often thought about our last few conversations and I now have a deep understanding of what happened between you and abby. So, if I said things to you that were hurtful, I apologize. You got every reason to raise a fist against me.

Chance: At you? I’d be foolish to try.

[ Victor chuckling ]

Victor: Anyway, I think you’re a good man. You do well. All right?

Chance: I appreciate that.

Victor: Okay. Before you go, let me ask you something else. The accusations against diane jenkins regarding the murder of phyllis summers, are they true?

Chance: I know this is not what you wanna hear, victor, but I am not at liberty to divulge any information about an open investigation.

Victor: So, this is your polite way of saying you won’t keep me in the loop?

Chance: It’s exactly what I’m saying.

Victor: All right. Have a good day.

Chance: You too.

Victor: Nate. Very good. Have a seat, old boy.

Nate: Thank you.

Victor: What a beautiful day outside. Now, I’m starving. What are you having?

Nate: Uh, just curious as to why I’m here. Is this a meeting about newman media or is this a barbecue and I’m what’s on the grill?

Victoria: Good morning, billy.

Billy: Ooh, la, la! What do we have here? Who the heck are you?

Victoria: Same me I’ve always been.

Billy: No, this is a decidedly different ms. Newman than I’ve seen in a very long time. You got a little pep in your step.

Victoria: Well, it could be the shoes. I had them flown in from milan.

Billy: I noticed the shoes. It’s not your shoes. No, this is–

Victoria: A woman on the top of her game. So, how’s everything going at jabot?

Billy: You’re trying to change the subject and I can’t let that happen because it’s me.

Victoria: You know, I was having such a lovely morning until I ran into you.

[ Billy chuckling ]

Billy: Just tell me what I wanna know and I’ll go away.

Victoria: Quietly?

Billy: You know me too well, just like I know you. So, this pep in your step, when do I get to meet the guy? I used to wait to run my dishwasher

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Victoria: All right. As a matter of fact, yes, I am seeing someone.

Billy: Well, now, look at you. That’s great. I’m very happy to hear that.

Victoria: Thank you.

Billy: Look, you went through hell with he-who-shall-not-be-named. Those shenanigans are enough to put anyone off of love and romance. So, who is the guy?

Victoria: It’s nate hastings.

Billy: That’s funny. Same name as the guy who’s living with elena dawson.

Victoria: He’s not anymore.

Billy: I should hope not.

Victoria: And before you say anything, billy, I have no intention of introducing him to the kids in the near future, so.

Billy: I hadn’t even gotten there yet, vic.

Victoria: Well, what happened to all of your support? The “way to go, victoria?” Am I about to get a ticket from the billy abbott morality police?

Summer: Oh, um, I was just getting donations together for the clothing drive at the women’s center.

Diane: Oh, how charitable of you? I– I wish I would’ve known. I’m sure there’s a few things I could have added.

Summer: Well, they do it a few times a year, so. Uh, and this one actually is just for kids’ clothes, so.

Diane: Oh, I see.

Summer: I’ll let you know next time.

Diane: Oh, please do. You know, I wish I could go with you and help out. I’m going crazy stuck in this house.

Summer: It’s just as well, because I– I think I’m gonna go for a long drive afterwards to clear my head, you know.

Diane: Of course. Summer, I don’t mean to keep you.

Summer: What’s up?

Diane: I’m sorry. I’m sure you’re wondering what I’m apologizing for, but I’m sorry that my situation is causing so much stress between you and kyle.

Summer: Kyle and I are gonna be fine.

Diane: Well, just know that I want this case resolved as much as you do. More even.

Summer: I’m sure that you do, diane.

Diane: Yeah. And while I have my own issues with your mother and the horrible position that she’s put us all in, especially you, I want you to know that I– I do still care for you. And I am here for you and kyle, whatever you need, just let me know.

Summer: Thanks.

Daniel: Thank you for giving me a minute. I don’t even know how to say this.

Lily: That’s okay. Is it about lucy?

Daniel: No, she couldn’t be better.

Lily: Okay. Good. Is it work? And I’m– I’m asking as your friend, not your boss.

Daniel: We are on schedule and under budget.

Lily: Okay. Good. I love hearing that.

[ Lily laughing ] It’s about your mom?

Daniel: That’s the one. Yeah. That whole general area right there.

Lily: Yeah. What’s going on?

Daniel: Did you notice that I haven’t been grieving as much as I was when we first heard about what happened?

Lily: Well, I mean, everyone grieves differently. That’s natural.

Daniel: No, there is nothing natural about it and that’s the whole point. There are things that have happened that I had no control over, but I did not do something and I regret it.

Lily: What did you not do?

Daniel: I did not tell you the truth. And it’s only because I was sworn to secrecy and I don’t know. The whole thing is just driving me crazy.

Lily: Okay, daniel, what’s going on? What happened?

Daniel: My mother is alive.

Daniel: So that’s, um, that’s the whole story for now. Can you say something please?

[ Lily exhaling ]

Lily: I– I don’t think I can, ’cause I think if I do, you’re gonna end up hating me.

Daniel: No, never.

Lily: Daniel, like what? Like what– what world does your mother think it’s okay to fake her own death?

Daniel: I mean, in her defense–

Lily: Are you– are you being serious right now?

Daniel: She wanted to end the charade, but stark stopped her. I mean, he tried to kill her, so she had to stop him first.

Lily: Sorry. Stop him how?

Daniel: It was self-defense.

Lily: Wait, are you telling me that she killed jeremy stark?

Daniel: He attacked her first. He attacked her first.

Lily: I– I– I– I– I don’t even know what to say. Nope. Not gonna say anything. It’s your mother. You thought she was gone and you’re happy she’s back and that’s your priority.

Daniel: Listen, I brought you here because I wanna hear what you have to say.

Lily: Daniel, this is not what a mother does. A mother protects her children and behaves in a way to show her children how to behave in the world, whether you’re an adult or a child. She let you think that she was dead. She let you grieve and then she kills jeremy’s stark? She frames diane. She won’t come home to clear diane until she’s sure that she’s off scot-free. I am sorry, but your mother is selfish and she’s a coward.

Victor: Now, this is not a grilling, it’s a friendly catch up. It’s been a while.

Nate: It has.

Victor: You’ve seen our family go through ups and downs. We have known you for a while.

Nate: Things were, uh, complicated then.

Victor: Yeah, that’s putting it mildly. So, you’ve learned how our family operates.

Nate: I’m gonna take a stab in the dark. I’m here because nick is opposed to me on every level. Not only does he want me out of newman media because of sally, now, he’s questioning my character.

Victor: I form my own opinion about people, nate.

Nate: I appreciate that about you.

Victor: So, it’s no secret that your relationship with my daughter, victoria, has gone beyond the professional.

Nate: This is true.

Victor: But as her father, you can imagine that I would like to know a bit more about you personally. What do you think?

Nate: I like that very much.

Billy: So, I’m a hypocrite for having an opinion about nate?

Victoria: Oh, having it is one thing, but sharing it with me, that’s another thing.

Billy: Okay, fair enough. The view from my glasshouse is legendary. So, how about this? I’ll put down my sticks and stones if you do the same thing. No talk of romance or relationships or any of that. We’ll talk about the kids. How about them kids, huh?

Victoria: Let’s talk about the kids, yeah. You know, johnny, he, um, he’s been going on and on about this big family dinner that you had the other night.

Billy: Yeah. Crazy times.

Victoria: Yeah. You wanna remind me of that eclectic guest list again? It was your ex and her current and your girlfriend and johnny and connor and daniel’s daughter.

Billy: All came out of the blue.

Victoria: Yeah. Well, I can’t see anybody wanting to plan that on purpose.

Billy: It was the spur of the moment and we went with it.

Victoria: That’s nice.

Billy: You actually sound like you mean that.

Victoria: I do. I’ve heard lucy’s name mentioned around the house a few times, so i guess she’s made a real impression on our son.

Billy: Yeah. Felt like there was a little something in the air. How about that? We’re all following our hearts, as it should be. ‘Cause you never know who life is gonna throw your way.

Victoria: Yeah, that’s true. God knows I didn’t– I didn’t see this coming–

Billy: Careful. This is a risky conversation. But since you brought it up, are you happy?

Victoria: I’m very happy.

Billy: Then, I’m happy for you.

Victoria: Thank you. Because at this point I would hate to have to hide anything in my life. And work and family and personal, it just– it keeps getting better and better.

Chance: What’s new in the lab? Please tell me you’re calling about that miracle I asked you to work? Yeah. What do you got? Walk me through it. Okay. Yeah. What do you know? Okay. Yeah. Thank you. I, uh, I owe you big time. Dinner it is. Absolutely. Yeah. You’re the best. We’ll see you.

Phyllis: Everybody leaves breadcrumbs, stark. Everyone. There’s gotta be some sketchy search or some email you forgot to encrypt. Something that gives me proof that I did the right thing by defending myself. I’ll find it.

[ Door knob jiggling ] Oh, it’s you. Good, good, good. Oh, my gosh. I missed you. Not just because I’m starting to talk to myself and I am really starting to talk to myself, just so you know. Are you okay?

Summer: Yeah, I’ve been better.

Phyllis: Oh, all right. Good. I’m glad you’re okay. So, so…

[ Summer exhaling ] Did anyone see you in the lobby?

Summer: No, I took the stairs.

Phyllis: Okay, good.

Summer: What have you found out?

Phyllis: Um, I’m trying to find out something about that emt guy.

Summer: The one that stark paid off?

Phyllis: Yeah, his name is carson.

Summer: Oh, I’m sure that stark paid really well. He’s probably living on a tropical island by now.

Phyllis: Well, I mean, it’s not a lost cause. We can still find some proof.

[ Laughs ] So, um, talk to me about, you know, your monster in-law. I mean, is she just in all her glory wrecking me over the coals because she knows I’m alive?

Summer: She restrains herself.

Phyllis: Hm. Does she? There are other ways to be awful. Trust me. What about christine? She still doesn’t buy daniel’s story that I’m alive?

Summer: Oh, my god, daniel. I–

Phyllis: Oh, my god, daniel what?

Summer: I don’t wanna talk about him, okay? He opened his big mouth to the wrong people.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, I mean, I understand what you’re saying and I have a problem with him doing that too. I mean, I would’ve loved to have more time to come up with a plaN.

Summer: What we needed was an ironclad justification for what you did. That was supposed to be step one.

Phyllis: Let’s look at things from daniel’s perspective, okay? Let’s just–

Summer: No. I don’t wanna look at it from daniel’s perspective. I don’t– I don’t understand his perspective and I’m never going to. Ultomiris is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis

Phyllis: All right. Sorry. I don’t wanna tell you how to think or feel. You’re an adult. I just hate it that my kids are at odds, that’s all.

Summer: I just don’t– I don’t understand why he’s so infuriating. I– I literally asked him to do the simplest thing.

Phyllis: Well, it’s because he’s danny’s son. And danny has a moral compass that’s just stuck at do the right thing.

Summer: What does that say about ours?

Phyllis: Well, our moral compass is sort of like, uh, you know, do what you have to do. Do what’s necessary to get the job done. Listen, if you both had been raised by me, daniel would be, you know, more like us. You know, more shoot from the hip, more flexible.

Summer: Didn’t turn out that way, did it?

Phyllis: No. But you know what? We’re a family. We are a family, summer. And sometimes we disagree and we fight and we do the wrong thing, but we make up. I mean, look at me. I came back from the dead. Anything can happen, so.

Summer: Mom, I sincerely hope that you have a backup plan.

Phyllis: Obviously, I have a backup plan.

Summer: One that doesn’t involve you disappearing if things don’t go your way?

Phyllis: Yeah. You know what I wanna do? I wanna repair what’s been broken. I did this. I ruined the relationship between you and your brother, okay? I wanna repair that. I mean, I cannot believe that I’ve put you guys in this position, all right?

Summer: Mom, what you need to do is focus on clearing your name so that you can come back to us for real. My relationship with him, it’s not a priority.

Lily: Look, I’m sorry. That came out a lot harsher than I meant it to.

Daniel: No. No. I mean, if we can’t be honest with each other, why even bother, right?

Lily: Look, I understand your mom’s instinct to wanna run away from what’s coming for her, but at some point, you have to face your fears. And what she’s doing is she’s taking the easy way out.

Daniel: She’s not gonna stay gone forever.

Lily: No. Just until she faces zero consequences.

Daniel: She’s coming back one way or the other.

Lily: Really? Are you sure?

Daniel: Yeah. I have to be sure because, you know, the alternative is… it’s unthinkable.

Lily: God, I– I hate what her choices are doing to you.

Daniel: What was it like for you? After the accident with hilary. Going to prison.

Lily: It was awful, you know. I didn’t wanna go, but I knew that I wouldn’t be able to look at myself or look devon in the eyes again if I didn’t pay for what I did. Like someone died because of my actions. There has to be consequences to that.

Daniel: Prison must have been brutal.

Lily: Yeah, of course, but, you know, there’s a silver lining to everything. And I met a lot of amazing women. You know, I got to help a few and– and I came out stronger for it.

Daniel: Not many people would’ve done what you did.

Lily: I don’t think that’s true, daniel.

Daniel: Look at my mother. I mean, she’s willing to frame an innocent woman and let her go to prison for murder, and summer, summer’s not much better. She’s following right behind mom in her footsteps.

Lily: Absolutely. I agree with you. And I do not respect their choices, but I support you and I know that you love them.

Daniel: Yeah, I do love them, but I don’t know if that’s enough anymore. I mean, how the heck are we supposed to ever be a family again?

Victor: If I hadn’t seen that with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Nate: That is an incredible story.

Victor: I know, right? Another example of how life can surprise you when you least expect it, you know?

Nate: Truer words were never spoken.

Victor: That’s right.

Nate: You know, um, I know you’ve heard this a thousand times, but you’re the reason I enrolled in business courses in college.

Victor: You serious?

Nate: Yes. I– I picked up a copy of your biography, man and myth.

Victor: That was from another lifetime.

Nate: I wanted to learn more about the company and the man that meant so much to neil.

Victor: Yeah, well, neil was one of the few men I trusted, you know?

Nate: Yeah.

Victor: He was a good friend.

Nate: Yeah. Deeply missed. And, uh, as I got deeper and learned more about your life, what struck me was how you managed to create so much, build so many companies from practically nothing

Victor: Got lucky.

Nate: [ Laughs ] I’d say it’s more than that. But I admire your modesty, as well as the way you’ve nurtured and raised your daughter.

Victor: So, just cut to the chase, nate. What are your plans for my daughter?

Christine: Hey, I got your message. You said you had news?

Chance: I just got off the phone with the lab.

Christine: So, the results are in? Okay. Break it to me gently. How bad is it?

Chance: You might wanna sit down for this. Hi.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. Hi.

Nate: You’re, uh, asking my intention vis a vis victoria?

Victor: You’ve known her for years. In fact, you were best man at her wedding to ashland locke.

Nate: I wish I’d known then what I know now.

Victor: Don’t we all?

Nate: I know a few ceos and even fewer surgeons who are shrinking violets. I think what led me to medicine was my mother. I wanted to follow the example she set, so when I learned I couldn’t operate anymore, um, I felt I needed a new outlet.

Victor: Ah. Let me ask you, doing surgery must be incredibly stressful.

Nate: Indeed, it was. Yeah. But I– I lost that gift and found I had another in business.

Victor: Uh-huh.

Nate: And victoria has been a big part of that. Her support, her faith in me. She accepts me for who I am and where I am. It’s been, um, it’s been a hard road lately. I’m not sure how much you’ve heard.

Victor: Some.

Nate: Mm-hmm. When your family turns their backs on you, when they revile you, say you’re bringing shame to the name that you’re different.

Victor: And you feel less than appreciated.

Nate: [ Laughs ] Exactly. So, it’s reassuring to be appreciated so fearlessly.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Nate: I need people like her in my life.

Victor: Now, you know what she had to endure during her marriage with ashland locke.

Nate: Oh, I would never undermine her or the company in any way. Hell, she’d never allow it, neither would you.

Lily: Forget about my feelings about phyllis and summer and what they did, okay? What matters is you helping your sister get your mom back here to clear diane, okay? Do it for diane. Do it for yourselves. It’s the only way to move forward.

Daniel: Yeah. What mom did–

Lily: Let a judge and jury decide what should happen.

Daniel: There’s no way summer or mom are gonna let that happen.

Lily: Well, you know what? You’re not responsible for their choices. You’re responsible for your own. And that includes you mending things with your sister.

Daniel: Summer doesn’t want anything to do with me.

Lily: Why not?

Daniel: Because I opened the vault. I told everyone that mom was alive.

Lily: Yeah. You were just doing what you thought was best for your mom.

Daniel: Exactly. I mean, I thought michael could come up with a solid self-defense case while diane was being cleared of the charges against her.

Lily: Okay. Look, just let michael deal with the legal stuff. All that matters right now is you fixing things between the three of you. You will never regret giving someone forgiveness and grace because that’s who you are.

Summer: You know what? There’s a lot that I would do for you, a lot. Because you’re my mom and I love you, but I’m– I’m sorry you don’t get to dictate how I feel about your other child.

Phyllis: My other child? Seriously? You won’t even say his name? Summer, what is this? This is not nothing.

Summer: What we need to focus on right now is this mess that you’ve created.

Phyllis: That jeremy stark created. I was manipulated.

Summer: Yeah. Your husband.

Phyllis: Summer, I made a mistake.

Summer: Mom, this mistake– this mistake is gonna land you in prison if we don’t get this right.

Phyllis: That laptop right there, that’s gonna bolster my case.

Summer: Okay. Well, I would hope that you’d be doing more than online shopping on this thing, so it’s good.

Phyllis: I got that at a pawn shop.

[ Chuckles ] Ask me about the wisconsin penal code. I know it by heart, by the way.

Summer: Is there anything in there that would help you?

Phyllis: Well, I haven’t come up with anything yet, but I’m doing research on, you know, jeremy stark’s emails. I’m doing a deep dive.

Summer: Okay. Anything there that would prove your case?

Phyllis: To support my claim of self-defense? That’s what you mean, right?

Summer: Yes.

Phyllis: No, I haven’t found anything yet. Summer, I will. Summer, you gotta trust me. And we gotta think smarter. You know why?

Summer: Tell me.

Phyllis: Because the two of us together are way smarter than jeremy stark ever was. And there is something out there that will get me off the hook for this. I know it and we will find it.

Chance: The program from phyllis’s memorial was covered in prints. And miracle of all miracles, we managed to get dna results from the tear stains.

Christine: And what did they tell you?

Chance: Everything is a match for the deceased.

[ Diane sighing ]

Billy: Hi.

Diane: Hey.

Billy: How you doing?

Diane: I’m good. How about you?

Billy: Good. Good. Is, uh, is the man of the manor home?

Diane: Oh, no, no, no. He went off on an adventure.

Billy: An adventure? For what?

Diane: Oh, precious treasure. He’s buying me a book.

[ Laughs ] Can you imagine the sites he’s going to see today? People on the street enjoying their day, cars passing by. Bits of conversation that have nothing to do with my court case.

Billy: Sounds like you need to get out more.

Diane: Yeah. Tell it to my ankle monitor. So, what brings you by?

Billy: I just wanted to talk to jack, little bit of jabot business.

Diane: Oh. Well, tell me everything. How’s it going for you there?

Billy: Sounds like you’re running outta ways to spend your time, huh? You know, I have a whole list of podcasts you can listen to.

Diane: Oh, true crime? Not my thing f or obvious reasons.

Billy: That’s good. You’re still working on your gallows humor.

Diane: Yeah, it comes with the territory, you know?

Billy: So, what’s going on there? Any new developments?

Diane: Same old, same old. I am still innocent and I can’t wait for everyone else to know that too.

Billy: Well, how do we make that happen? Because if you don’t rise up out of this as a free woman, it could very well destroy my brother and quite possibly my entire family.

Victor: Well, nate, this has been edifying. Thank you for your candor.

Nate: It’s been my pleasure. I always enjoy spending time with you, victor, with the icon and with the man.

Victor: I’m sure we’ll see each other soon again?

Nate: Count on it.

Victor: All right.

Victoria: What did I miss?

Victor: What do you mean? What did– were you spying on us? You could have joined us.

Victoria: No, I wasn’T. I was walking back to the office and I saw the two of you talking. I didn’t wanna intrude. It looked important.

Victor: It was.

Victoria: Well, are you gonna tell me anything else about the results of your grilling?

Victor: Why do you always assume that I grill people? Can’t I just have a normal conversation with someone?

Victoria: [ Laughs ] No, not that I know of. So?

Victor: He’s all right. He’s a good guy.

Victoria: Yeah, he’s driven. He’s very ambitious.

Victor: Well, now those are qualities that I really appreciate, unlike your brother.

Victoria: But do you approve of us, daddy?

Victor: You don’t need my approval. Yes, I do.

Chance: So, they matched the dna from the tear stains to the blood sample that was recovered from the crash. And as for the prints–

Christine: Yeah. Well, for all the time she’s been brought up on charges, her fingerprints are definitely in the system.

Chance: A match.

Christine: So, what’s the rest of the bad news?

Chance: Since the programs from the memorial were printed after her death–

Christine: It can only mean one thing. Phyllis is alive. Oh, how I would love to get my hands on phyllis summers. Don’t you quote me on that.

Chance: Didn’t hear a thing.

Christine: I– I’m glad she’s alive, but I’ve never wanted to kill someone as much as I wanna murder her right now.

Chance: It was a lot simpler when she was dead. This is off the record, by the way.

Christine: Damn it, phyllis. This was supposed to be my great return to the prosecutor’s office, and she engineered this whole thing. What in the hell was she thinking? And now you’re telling me she did actually show up at her memorial? Think about that. She watched her family grieve and give their eulogies and cried. I mean, what kind of narcissistic, self-absorbed, twisted personality does such a thing?

Chance: She could have got the programs from stark.

Christine: Oh, and cried afterwards? Why? Because she was so moved by the type setting?

Chance: Maybe her conscience was getting to her after she thought about what she did.

Christine: I mean, think about it. She did all of this, all of it to make one woman suffer. It was vindictive. It was vicious. And if she went to all this trouble to fake her death, you can be damn sure she went to that memorial. She watched it play out. God, I wish I had thought and believed that phyllis was alive.

Chance: And the plan was for me to keep eyes on the suspect. I didn’t know I was supposed to watch out for the victim too.

Christine: You know what really gets me? All these big fish in the small pond, bending the law to fit their needs, they want us to protect them and give them resources when a crime is committed against them, but when they’re the ones that cross the line, no, they want us to look the other way. Well, forget it. I am gonna make sure they all get the justice they deserve.

Daniel: There is, uh, something that we haven’t discussed.

Lily: What is it?

Daniel: How good are you at keeping secrets?

Lily: Daniel, I’m not gonna say anything to anyone. I promise you.

Daniel: You have this quality that makes me wanna tell you things. I’m just wondering if I should ignore that voice in the back of my head.

Lily: Look, I am here to support you, but from what you told me, I’m not the only one who knows about this. So when it goes public, there will be fallout.

Daniel: Yeah, I know. I thought about that. No one’s gonna come out at this looking good, including me.

Lily: Look, I’m here for you, okay? I know who you are.

Phyllis: This is all extraordinary. All of these snacks.

[ Phyllis laughing ]

Summer: Guess everything tastes better when you’re in hiding.

Phyllis: Well, you know what? I was right when I called you my secret weapon. You are. You know all the foods that I love, even the products I love.

Summer: Mom, those are your products that you left at the grand phoenix when, you know.

Phyllis: Oh, when diane poisoned me and I died? Okay. Listen, I’m not trying to make a joke. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what I did. And I want you to know I’m going to spend the rest of my very long life trying to make it up to you and your brother.

Summer: Focus on clearing your name so you actually can come back to life, okay? I didn’t do all of this just so you could go to prison.

Phyllis: All right. I’ll do my best.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: But for the time being, this room, this is your prison cell, okay? Until further notice. I– I’m serious, mom. Don’t leave this room for any reason.

Phyllis: You don’t trust me?

Summer: No. Stay put.

Diane: She who laughs last laughs loudest. Just wait and see.

Billy: Do you have a judge in your pocket?

Diane: Better. I have truth on my side.

Billy: I’m sure half of the people in prison say the same thing, so… what is it? Do you know something that your lawyers don’t?

Diane: Just this, I have no intention of going to prison for phyllis’s murder. They’ll clear my name. They have to. My future with jack depends on it.

Christine: Phyllis and stark did all of this. They fabricated and planted the evidence that directed us right to diane.

Chance: Yeah, a lot of work went into this plan.

Christine: They had the entire town grieving. They exploited the services of the emergency medical team. And don’t even get me started on the storm they created at the morgue. It’s reprehensible and chance, it’s just the beginning.

Chance: Does this mean you’re buying the evidence?

Christine: I can’t ignore the obvious. Phyllis is alive and she has no idea what she’s unleashed.
