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.

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.

***************=**=*********************

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.

[ 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.”

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.

*****************************

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: 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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

Faith: He is just a little kitty, how much trouble could he be?

Nick: Famous last words.

Faith: You’re gonna love him. I mean it.

Nick: Faith, your roommates stuck you with a cat for the summer. They clearly know who the sucker is.

Faith: It just means I have a big heart.

Nick: Well, now you are back where you belong. You and borgnine.

[ Girls laughing ]

Tessa: We missed you so much.

Faith: It’s so good to be home.

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.

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.

Summer: You must feel better now that you’ve had some food.

Phyllis: Yeah, I do. What would I do without you?

Summer: Let’s not even go there.

Phyllis: I mean it, Summer. It’s like you’re my own personal emergency kit, and you’re on it. Seriously, you know how I feel and you can turn on a dime and you’re one step ahead of anyone who tries to best us.

Summer: Got lucky, I guess.

Phyllis: Well, I don’t know if I’m lucky, but you are my secret weapon, so that’s– that’s luck. Look at you, you’re a C.E.O. And a mom, a wife. Oh, and you are stronger and more fierce than you ever were, aren’t you?

Summer: Turns out helping your dead mother stay one step ahead of the police counts as cardio.

Summer: Look, I– I know that I haven’t always been there for you, but I am here now, okay? For us.

Phyllis: This is us now.

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.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Chloe: I have been manifesting good things all the way over. So tell me that we are popping a bottle of their finest sparkling cider because we are going to celebrate our–

Sally: Rejection. Sorry.

Chloe: Really?

Sally: Yeah.

Chloe: But we’re so good.

Sally: I know. I know.

Chloe: I mean, I got all beautiful for this.

Sally: Hey, a busy woman is a beautiful woman and that is the face that we have to put out to the world.

Chloe: Fake it ’til you make it.

Sally: Yes, employed or not, we have to stay in circulation and be seen by the people who are making things happen. Keep them wondering what we’re up to.

Chloe: Right. Yeah. I saw that hot design team out at the athletic club the other night.

Sally: Yeah, they must be celebrating getting a new client.

Chloe: Right, so we’re just practicing for success.

Sally: Yes, exactly. It is only a matter of time. In fact, you know what? Sparkling cider is on me.

Chloe: Smile.

Lily: Hello, ladies.

Devon: Hey.

Chloe: Lily, devon, hi.

Devon: It’s good to see you two.

Lily: Yeah, I’m so sad. We’re not gonna benefit from your design services in the near future.

Sally: I know. Not as sad as we are though.

Chloe: Past tense. Yeah, we are– we are really busy with other clients, like so busy. Just insanely busy.

Devon: That’s great.

Lily: Yeah, that’s amazing. Congrats. Okay, well, enjoy your evening.

Sally: You too. Bye.

Lily: Bye.

Devon: See you guys.

Chloe: Toodles.

Sally: Chloe?

Chloe: I panicked.

Sally: Oh, my god. What if they think we’re too busy to be working with chancellor-winters?

Chloe: Okay. Well, then we’ll just generously, you know, offer to fit them in. I’m manifesting.

Sally: Oh, my god. I hope so.

Chance: Hey.

Sharon: Hi. Are you still working? It’s late.

Chance: Yeah. Well, after a cup of your coffee, I’ll be ready to rock.

Sharon: Okay.

Chance: You keep them coming.

Sharon: I don’t want to go out on a limb here, but…

Chance: Oh? What about? Me?

Sharon: If you don’t mind.

Chance: Go for it.

Sharon: New evidence and you’re on the verge of making a very promising breakthrough. Am I right?

Chance: Give the lady a cigar.

Sharon: Well, here’s to taking chances. Helps you get closer to solving the case. Puts a little pep in your step and it reminds you why you became a detective in the first place.

Chance: Yeah, I tell you, all I need is a little time and the right test results and I could be on the road to solving this thing.

Nick: Christine. You’re working late.

Christine: Hey, nick. Yeah, phyllis has been taking up most of my time these days. I suppose you’ve been keeping up on the latest developments?

Nick: I, uh, only know what my daughter tells me. When I think about what happened to her mom…

Christine: You mean the murder?

Nick: I mean, she was one of a kind. It’s gonna be a long time before we get over losing her.

Summer: You must feel better now that you’ve had some food.

Phyllis: Yeah, I do. What would I do without you?

Summer: Let’s not even go there.

Phyllis: I mean it, summer. It’s like you’re my own personal emergency kit, and you’re on it. Seriously, you know how I feel and you can turn on a dime and you’re one step ahead of anyone who tries to best us.

Summer: Got lucky, I guess.

Phyllis: Well, I don’t know if I’m lucky, but you are my secret weapon, so that’s– that’s luck. Look at you, you’re a C.E.O. And a mom, a wife. Oh, and you are stronger and more fierce than you ever were, aren’t you?

Summer: Turns out helping your dead mother stay one step ahead of the police counts as cardio.

Phyllis: Okay. You’ve been through a lot the last few months.

Summer: Ever since italy, it feels like I’ve been to hell and back.

Phyllis: I’m sorry, I hate this. This is my fault. Imagine if you could get ahead of your ibs-C…

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Summer: I’m not pointing a finger at you.

Phyllis: I get it.

Summer: Do you, mom? Because I mean, you just disappeared from our lives without any warning. I mean, no chance to say goodbye. Daniel and I, we felt so guilty for the way that we treated you. I mean, all the things that we said to each other? My god, the things that I have said to diane, I– I thought that you were gone forever. I– I thought that you were dead in this horrific way. I–

Phyllis: I know, I’m sorry. You– you didn’t even get a chance to sort of work it out and move on, did you? And here I come back with this whole new mess. Oh, I should’ve stayed away. This was wrong.

Summer: No, mom. Don’t– don’t– don’t say that. Don’t– don’t think like that. I– I’m so happy that you’re here.

Phyllis: Yeah, I, yes I can see that.

Summer: Mom, I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to act. I mean, yes, you’re alive, but I’ve got to keep it a secret. You can’t even leave this hotel room without being caught and prosecuted. There’s so many people out there that are still mourning your loss. I mean, you’ve turned our whole lives upside down.

Phyllis: I know, that’s what I do. I kind of turn lives upside down, don’t I? Listen, my heart goes out to every single person who I have affected by this. Mainly you and your brother. Please believe me when I say that I’m gonna spend every single day to try to make it up to you, but I came back because I saw how much pain you were in at that celebration of life and which wasn’t actually much of a celebration at all, was it?

Summer: You did what?

Phyllis: I was there. I mean, to hear yourself eulogized… oh, wow. It really puts things in perspective.

Sally: Lily and devon aren’t responsible for jill’s decision to put a pause on our plans with chancellor-winters. And she got word from victor not to give us that job the first time around.

Chloe: Yeah. I mean, your little bundle of joy’s good old granddad, he’s always sticking his nose in everyone else’s business. Better get used to that.

Sally: Okay. Focus with me on our future.

Chloe: Mm, do we have one?

Sally: Okay. We might not be on anyone’s top ten list yet, but we keep pitching ideas and putting ourselves out there, right?

Chloe: Yeah, out there, is right. We’ve been pitching to some pretty weird places, you’ve got to admit.

Sally: Okay. Well, that’s how we make a name for ourselves. Going where other designers fear to tread.

Chloe: Right. Beautifying one space at a time. I mean, even the unconventional.

Sally: Hey, especially those. What we could have done to that car repair waiting room, transformative.

Chloe: And don’t tell me our plans for the dental practice wasn’t next level.

Sally: Hey, a boutique clientele deserves high-end style.

Chloe: Yeah, but that’s the problem. No one can afford us.

Sally: I am not lowering my standards just to–

Chloe: What? Make a client happy or get our foot in the door so we can get this job going?

Sally: Are you saying I’m rigid?

Chloe: Would it have killed you to just accept nick’s offer to back our business?

[ Sally sighing ]

Nick: It doesn’t matter how old you are when you lose a parent, it changes you forever. When I look at what daniel and summer are going through, I just can’t help but wish they had more time with their mom.

Christine: Well, you’re a good dad, nick. I’m sure summer knows that you’re there for her.

Nick: I sure hope so.

Christine: Um, you know, I see a chance. I have to talk to him.

Nick: Oh, yeah. No worries.

Christine: If I can just leave you with one thing, I… just know, justice will be served.

Nick: I believe you. It’s good seeing you.

Christine: Yeah, take care.

Nick: What’s up, man?

Chance: Nick.

Sharon: How you doing?

Nick: Hanging in. How about you?

Sharon: Good. Well, better. I know you felt guilty about bringing up that wine stain on that bottle of champagne that showed up out of nowhere.

Nick: Yeah. Saying that it looked like blood, sorry.

Sharon: Yeah, it’s okay. We both know that was silly.

Nick: Well, I’m just glad you got rid of it.

Sharon: Yeah, I can buy my own champagne.

Nick: Of course, you can.

Christine: The message you left about finding new evidence.

Chance: It could be proof that phyllis is alive.

Christine: What kind of evidence are we talking about? Partial response: the first one to sit down hereighting with you like that.

Lily: What do you think dad would say if he were here right now?

Devon: Oh, he would say, “what took you so long? Let’s celebrate.”

[ Lily laughing ]

Lily: I hope you know, I really hated fighting with you like that.

Devon: Oh, yeah, I hated fighting with you too. We got through it though. And I know neil would be the first one to sit down here and say that he was the reason we got through it too.

[ Lily laughing ]

Lily: Oh, my god, he so would. And now look at us, we can do this. After the dinner I survived.

Devon: Um, who did you have dinner with?

Lily: Hm. Uh, daniel, lucy, chelsea, billy, johnny, connor.

Devon: Oh, that sounds fun. Dinner with your ex and his date and their kids.

Lily: Yep.

Devon: And daniel.

Lily: Yep.

Devon: How are you? What’s– what’s going on with the two of you these days? Is there anything I should know about?

Lily: No, no, no, not now. I mean, we could have maybe had something, but I think the timing is off.

Devon: I’m sure. I mean, losing a parent throws your whole world off.

Lily: And she was a powerhouse.

Devon: Yeah, I still can’t believe she’s gone.

Christine: So, nick newman is completely unaware that some of phyllis’s nearest and dearest are claiming that she’s still alive.

Chance: That’s interesting.

Christine: I mean, isn’t that information you tell your father? That phyllis still walks among us?

Chance: They got some complicated family dynamics at play right now. And after trauma like that, there is no normal, not for a while anyways.

Christine: So, what’s the latest?

Chance: So, I went to stark’s last known residence, a motel room where he was using an alias.

Christine: Oh, wait, please say that he left something in that room that we can use in court.

Chance: Nothing. I couldn’t get confirmation that the shower curtain was missing. A lot of the cleaning crew turn over there, but the shower curtains they have are the same type, same brand that stark’s body was wrapped in.

Christine: So really nothing.

Chance: Not exactly. I did find a program from phyllis’s memorial outside the room.

Christine: And that would interest me why?

Chance: This one was stained with what appears to be mascara-tinted tears.

Summer: You did what? You were– you were there. You– you saw what losing you did to us.

Phyllis: I needed to know.

Summer: You needed to know what? That your plan to make us suffer was a success?

Phyllis: No. No, I needed to see how my children felt about me. I needed to know that, summer. And I saw how much pain you were in. But I knew you had something up your sleeve because you had it at the jazz lounge. So, I knew you were working something and you were fierce. You were amazing. And you had diane on a hook and you kept on pushing and you didn’t let her go. And you pushed her to the breaking point.

Summer: Yeah. Well, I thought that she’d killed you.

Phyllis: Yeah. And finally, I won. But I lost my kids and I saw how much you guys were suffering. So, did I really win? You know, you needed your mother.

Summer: Of course we did.

Phyllis: So, I didn’t win, did I? And I was so vindictive and I was wrong. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry for what I did to our family. I’m so sorry.

Sally: I could have accepted nick’s offer.

Chloe: We’d be in business right now.

Sally: But I wanted to do this on our own.

Chloe: It’s just seed money. A few thousand to sprinkle around, help us grow. Branch out. Money is opportunity and protection. It’s a shield.

Sally: Yeah, you’re right. All across the board. And– and I would have loved to have taken the hand out.

Chloe: Okay, great. Well, then all you have to do is pick up the phone.

Sally: Okay, chloe, look at me. And please just try and see me like a newman would. All trust was gone after summer went to milan. And they choose to forget that I designed the most amazing wedding dress ever created for victoria. And then, I had the nerve to attempt a relationship with adam. And even though I put newman media on the path to success, now that I am pregnant with the newest newman, they’ve probably decided that I’m just going to use her as my meal ticket.

Chloe: Yeah, but it’s not like he’s going to invest in the company and then go tell his family that he did. I mean, they would never know.

Sally: But I would.

Chloe: He wants to give you this money because you’re good and because he believes in you.

Sally: I just don’t want to take advantage of my relationship with nick.

Chloe: Because of the baby?

Sally: Well, yes. Yeah. Yeah, because of the baby, but also because nick has a case of the l word.

Chloe: Love?

Sally: Nick told me that he is in love with me.

Chloe: Oh, that is so sweet and romantic and annoying because this explains the business decision. Um, well, congratulations. Really.

Nick: I’m just saying, the learning curve for somebody like sally is gonna be a lot steeper. She doesn’t have any family in town. I mean, she’s got chloe, but chloe’s got her own kids and is raising her own family. I don’t know. Who’s gonna teach her all the baby stuff? Sharon? What’s wrong? With moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,

Chloe: I can’t believe you didn’t lead with this. I mean, this is the good stuff. This is the stuff that we should be celebrating.

Sally: He turned my suite into a romantic oasis.

Chloe: Ah, no.

Sally: Candlelight, flowers and it was just the most amazing surprise.

Chloe: What a guy. You know, you should do something equally unexpected. You know, something that he’ll love as much as you loved your special evening.

Sally: What could I possibly do to top that?

Chloe: Take the money.

Sally: Oh, my god.

Chloe: I’m kidding. I mean, well kind of, I am. I look, I am so happy that one of you geniuses finally figured it out and spoke up the truth.

Sally: Oh, has it just been awful?

Chloe: Yeah, it’s been brutal. I mean, I’ve just been, like sitting there quietly just rooting for you guys. I mean, the amount of hours that I have spent talking to kevin about you and how I could just make love happen.

Sally: You’re a very dedicated partner and a loyal friend. So there’s only one way that I can pay you back.

Chloe: A raise?

Sally: Your freedom.

Chloe: Pardon me?

Sally: I’m letting you off the hook.

Chloe: I’m on a hook?

Sally: Look, you have been so good to me and you’ve held on through the ups and the downs and the sideways and any time that I wanted to give up, you were there to–

Chloe: Yeah, there to kick you in the derriere, which is what I’m about to do right now. Are you breaking up with me?

Sally: Look, I love you too much to just keep disappointing you.

Chloe: Wait– wait, are you saying this because we’ve been let down yet again? I mean, come on, I’m not just gonna scurry off because of that. I’m sorry, but I am made of much sterner stuff than that my friend.

Sally: So you’re still in?

Chloe: We’re a team.

Sally: Even though I won’t take nick’s offer.

Chloe: We don’t need it. We have something way more valuable than nick newman’s money.

Sally: Well, I’m dying to hear what this is.

Chloe: We have talent, tenacity, and a brilliant business plan. Jill loved it. I mean, that was before her budget came up and bit her on the bottom line.

Sally: So, our mission is to find someone who is visionary enough to hire us even though we have no track record?

Chloe: Fall in love with us, sight unseen.

Sally: Or we give an old option something new to see.

Lily: Hm. I have something in my car for you for my favorite nephew.

Devon: Oh, my gosh. Stop buying him stuff. You’re spoiling him.

Lily: What are you talking– you did the same thing with maddie and charlie. Oh, how’s the co-parenting thing going, by the way, with chance?

Devon: Uh, I’m assuming it’s going well because we have the nanny take care of the drop-offs and the pickups.

Lily: Oh, it must be nice to be rich.

Devon: You know what?

Lily: Must be nice.

Devon: You know what?

Lily: What?

Devon: You… you have no idea how much I missed you.

Lily: Oh, my god, I missed you too.

Devon: Mm-hmm. Kinda.

Chloe: Hi.

Sally: Hello.

Devon: Hey, you two. How are you doing?

Lily: Hello.

Chloe: You know, we were just saying how much we love this space, neil’s lounge.

Sally: Yeah. And how happy we are that you two could mend your business relationship.

Devon: Thanks.

Lily: Thank you. Yeah, we are too. Although, you didn’t have to come all the way over here to say that. What’s going on?

Sally: I’m glad you asked.

Chance: So, the single strand of red hair that jack and kyle find, we both know a judge could easily discount that. Hair travels. The wind, animals, clothing, you name it. We don’t know when it got there, how it got there, or how long it was there before jack and kyle found it. But how the hell could tears from the deceased show up on a program that was printed after her death?

Christine: We still don’t know that those tears are phyllis’S.

Chance: Testing for dna and checking for prints as we speak.

Christine: How soon ’til we get those results?

Chance: I called in a few favors.

Christine: I owe you.

Chance: Yeah, you do. So, what do you think?

Christine: Oh, god. Going to her own memorial? It’s exactly the kind of outlandish thing phyllis would do.

Nick: “Where heaven’s a little closer.”

Sharon: It’s the same handwriting that was on the note that came with the champagne bottle.

Nick: Are you sure about that?

Sharon: This is just another instrument of torture, don’t you see? Denver, colorado, where we met? The champagne bottle that I used when I hit him? The blood?

Nick: What are you saying?

Sharon: I didn’t want to speak the words out loud, but now…

Nick: You don’t think it could be…

Sharon: It has to be. This is from cameron kirsten. Trelegy for copd.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Sally: So, we are aware that chancellor-winters has run into some challenges recently.

Chloe: Some have been more difficult than others, but that’s how we grow. So, we have a new proposal.

Sally: It is time for reinvention.

Chloe: Reimagine, revamp.

Sally: Revitalize and renew. Your new gaming platform, omegasphere, is gaining a lot of your attention and you are going to have billions of eyes on you.

Chloe: Video games that are going to revolutionize the industry. And that demands offices that show the world, “this is where new and exciting things happen.” Because chancellor-winters, you are cutting edge. You are not afraid to make things happen.

Sally: It’s time to show the world the new chancellor-winters. New color schemes, fragrances.

Devon: Fragrances like perfumes?

Sally: Aromatherapy to help elevate the space. There’s nothing more powerful than sense memory. When you think chancellor-winters, you think chill, sexy, unforgettable aromas that make your employees feel like they’re enveloped and taken care of.

Chloe: We are ready to revolutionize and astonish.

Sally: Think vibrant.

Chloe: And sleek.

Sally: Comfortable, yet carefully curated.

Chloe: The more you give, the more you get.

Sally: And– and people are going to tell you, it’s not the right time. That you should wait and maybe it’s too expensive. But this is your opportunity to show the world that you’ve taken the lead and good luck catching uP.

Chloe: And we can start small. I mean, if you call redesigning genoa city’s headquarters a small feat, but that’s okay because we’ll just amaze you and then we’ll take over the world.

Sally: So, what do you think?

Summer: Daniel and I tried to help you. We– we didn’t know how.

Phyllis: I know. I know you didn’t know how, I understand. And then other people tried to help me, but I just saw all of their help as judgmental and that they were trying to correct me and– and I didn’t know what to do, you know. So, I just felt– I felt like everyone abandoned me and no one was helping me, for sure. And they– and they certainly weren’t gonna stop diane.

Summer: That’s when stark stepped in.

Phyllis: Yeah. And he saw how vulnerable I was and he weaponized me. I was alone and he understood and he seemed to care and he pushed my buttons. He knew exactly what to say to me. He came up with a plan and how could I say no?

Summer: He convinced you to fake your own death and frame diane.

Phyllis: So finally, everybody would see how dangerous diane is. But I brought this hellishness into our family.

Summer: I can’t let you do this. I can’t let you take all the blame.

Christine: So, let me know the minute those results come in.

Chance: I’m on it

Christine: And chance, thank you. Really, for all your hard work. This is my first case back as D.A. All eyes are gonna be on us.

Chance: I want this case resolved just as much as you do. Hey, we both want to get this one right.

Nick: No freaking way. There’s no signature, no return address.

Sharon: That’s his game. He is toying with me. He’s having his twisted brand of fun before he moves in for the kill.

For your most brilliant smile,

Devon: There must be some magic in dad’s room here because it’s happening again.

Lily: Agreeing?

Devon: Mm-hmm. It feels good too.

Lily: I mean, look at the terror in their eyes. I feel bad.

Devon: Maybe we should put them out of their misery.

Lily: Don’t say it that way.

Chloe: Okay. They’re waving us iN. They’re deciding our future right now. What do we do?

Sally: Just keep smiling and yeah, stay positive.

Chloe: Okay. Sometimes, I wonder how you work. Let’s just get this over with.

Lily: Sorry to keep you waiting.

Sally: No problem.

Chloe: Yeah, listen, if– if you want to talk some more later, we can come by bring you some new designs.

Devon: That’s not necessary at all because we’ve made a decision.

Sally: Or perhaps some other–

Lily: Well, look, we know that you’re busy with other clients.

Sally: Well, not super busy.

Chloe: Yeah, we could get rid of them. It’s really not a problem.

Lily: So… when can you start?

Chloe: Is– is that a yes?

Devon: It is, yeah.

Sally: It’s a yes.

Chloe: Okay, okay, this is the best decision you’ve made all day. You won’t regret it.

Lily: Well.

[ Sally laughing ]

Summer: There is more than enough blame to go around. You know, you needed my love and support. You needed somebody in your corner that was gonna say, “you know what? Diane is not trustworthy.” And she’s never gonna be my favorite person and she’s not even gonna ever be a decent mom.

Phyllis: Not a decent mom like me?

Summer: No, she could never be like you. I pushed you away when I should have kept you close, mom. You’d already lost so much. And I just– I couldn’t see it at the time and I’m just, I’m sorry.

Phyllis: No, it’s not your job to take care of me.

Summer: Yes, it is.

Phyllis: No, it’s not.

Summer: Yes, it is. We’re family. We’re a team, right? You’ve always had my back. I didn’t have your back and I mean, look at what happened, look at this mess. I– I should have done more.

Phyllis: Hey, I’m glad I have you now, okay?

Summer: Mom, you never lost me.

Phyllis: Yeah, but I’ll never be the kind of mom that I was before, you know, I was forced to…

Summer: Mom, you did what you had to do to stay alive.

Phyllis: I killed jeremy.

Summer: He was trying to kill you. It was self-defense.

Phyllis: It doesn’t matter. I killed him and by the way, the authorities, they won’t see it like that. They’ll think that I tried to cover it up after I faked my own death.

Summer: Shady, maybe, but I don’t know how illegal that is. I mean, look, you– you faked your death at his urging, right? With his assistance.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. Look what I’m doing to you. I’m putting you in the position where you’re aiding and abetting. No, I can’t do this. Oh, my gosh, I can’t do this.

Summer: Mom, I want to help you.

Phyllis: I know– I know you want to help me. See, I know that. This is how you’re gonna help. You’re gonna leave here, you’re gonna go home and you’re gonna take care of your family, all right? I don’t want to get you involved.

Summer: It’s a little late for that.

Phyllis: Okay, what do you want me to do? You want me to hide out in the room and run from the police and just so you can maybe visit me in jail? Or you get charged for aiding and abetting and they’re– we’re in the same prison, maybe and–

Summer: Okay, please stop talking like this, please.

Phyllis: If you want to help, go home and take care of your family. Take care of daniel, please. And I will keep watching you from afar. And I will never stop loving you and your brother, ever. But I have to stay away. I have to, I have to, summer.

Summer: No, mom. I’m sorry, but you don’t get to tell me how to handle this. Walking away now, it’s not an option.

Nick: If this psycho is contacting you–

Sharon: Well, we don’t really know that it’s from him.

Nick: Sharon, you just said–

Sharon: I know. I said that both items came from cameron, but that was just a knee-jerk response. You know, a traumatic experience like that, it never really goes away, so some of the old fears cropped up again for a second. But who knows? This could just be some sort of coincidence.

Nick: I trust your instincts and you should too. If something about this feels off, then it probably is.

Sharon: You’re right. But we need more to go on than just gut instinct. We need facts.

Nick: I think it’s time we bring chance in on this.

Sharon: Yes. Good.

Nick: Hey, uh, when you get a minute.

Chance: Yeah, absolutely. I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Sally: I can’t tell you how excited we are to be working with chancellor-winters on this project. And I promise, you will not be disappointed.

Lily: I know, we expect nothing less than your best.

Sally: Well, count on us to deliver.

Lily: And speaking of deliveries, where are we in terms of completion?

Sally: Well, I haven’t had a chance to look at our calendars yet, but rest assured, this baby will not delay us.

[ Lily chuckling ]

Lily: Oh, you’re being serious?

Sally: Yeah, I’ve always been a hard worker, committed and focused.

Lily: And no baby is gonna change that, right? Look, I’m not– I’m not trying to scare you. I mean, the changes are amazing and it is so worth it. But, you know, it’s– it’s a lot.

Sally: Yeah, I’ve– I’ve just been so focused on being pregnant, I guess I haven’t really gotten into how to be a mom yet.

Lily: I know. Well, everyone’s gonna tell you that it’s magical and it’s intense, which is true. It is. Right, ’cause all of a sudden you have this human that you’re responsible for. To keep them happy and healthy, but you will also experience a love that you couldn’t imagine. And all you want to do is just protect them from the world because you know what it’s like out there. But then you have to trust that you brought them up to be strong and you have to let them go, and you do.

Sally: You miss them, don’t you?

Lily: Yeah, of course, I do. They’re a part of me. You know, when they have joy, I have joy, when they hurt…

Sally: You hurt.

Lily: Yes. But it is worth it, every second.

Sally: And what about your work? Your career?

Lily: You’ll be fine. You’ll figure it out. There’s a balance, right? You– you’ll know what to do. But also, you have to ask for help. You do. Yes, you do. So repeat after me, I will ask–

Sally: Ask for help whenever I need it.

Lily: Yes, you’re gonna do great. Don’t let me down.

Sally: I will not.

Lily: Okay.

[ Sally sighing ]

Summer: Look, I– I know that I haven’t always been there for you, but I am here now, okay? For us.

Phyllis: This is us now.

Summer: Yes. Whatever happens to you, it happens to me. I think I forgot that for a second. But mom, whatever you need from me, support, evidence, unconditional love, snacks, whatever it is, I am here for you and I am not going anywhere.

Chance: What’s going on? Is everything okay?

Sharon: You don’t need to know all the awful details, but years ago, a man went to prison for some things that he did to me and some others.

Chance: Well, I’m sorry to hear that.

Sharon: Well, I’ve got the feeling that he might be trying to get back in touch.

Chance: Would you like me to look into it?

Sharon: Please.

Nick: Anything you can find.

Chance: Just give me a name.

Receptionist: Your key card, mr. Kirsten.

Cameron: Please, call me cameron.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Nate: Is this a meeting about newman media or is this a barbecue and I’m what’s on the grill?

Chance: I got news about kirsten. It’s not great.

Cameron: Are you faith newman?

Faith: I am. Do I know you?

Summer: I do know that, it’s the only way that I’m gonna get through any of this.

Sharon: Good. It’s important to remember. What can I get you?

Summer: Um, two large coffees and like a bag full of carbs, please.
[Summer sighing] What is it?

Sharon: Just the way you said a bag of carbs just now reminded me of Phyllis. And that’s– it’s a good thing. You know, it may not seem like it yet, but eventually you’ll get to the place where you’re very grateful for all the ways that you’ve learned how to keep her memory alive.

Summer: Yeah, I know my mom isn’t fading away any time soon.

Lucy: So, Lily gave me the lowdown on the way here, but I feel like I only got half the story.

Johnny: Okay. Well, um, so Connor and I are brothers but our mom’s only raising him.

Lucy: And that’s Chelsea?

Johnny: And I have a different mom who was married to Billy, my dad, but then they got divorced. And now I live with her and my sister, Katie.

Connor: His dad and lily were a couple, but now he’s dating my mom. Plus, I’m getting a new baby sister. My dad, Adam, and his ex-girlfriend, sally, who’s now a couple with my uncle nick, which is messed up, but after a while, it’s like whatever.

Lucy: Most families I know are like this, all blended and mixed up. It’s kind of the way things are now.

Johnny: Facts.

Lucy: My bio mom was pretty messed up, so dad didn’t stay with her for too long, thank god. So, dad and heather raised me, but then they broke up and she and I live in Portugal. So, I don’t get to see my dad all too often. See, we’re all kind of in this weird messed-up club.

Connor: That’s cool. So can you speak Portuguese?

Victoria: No, no, you don’t have to say much. You just glare at me and grit your teeth. You know, I’m actually impressed you were able to hold back for so long. You obviously didn’t hold your opinion back from dad. He was more than happy to interrogate me after you riled him all up.

Nick: Well, it’s not like mom wasn’t gonna tell him about it anyway. And what’s the deal? Is your new hot relationship with Nate a big secret? Well, Elena knows about it and she’s certainly not keeping it to herself.

Tucker: As– as you said, Genoa City does have its appeal.

Audra: I doubt it’s the town’s charm that kept you here. And I double doubt you decided to spend your newly rudderless, company-less existence playing pickleball.

Tucker: Don’t be so sure. I have a pretty good backhand.

Summer: You have ruined everything for mom. If the police take this seriously, then they’re gonna look for her and if they find her, they’re gonna throw her in prison before she has a chance to clear herself.

Daniel: But on the flip side, diane will be out from underneath a murder wrap and she’ll be free to live her life again.

Summer: It’s not a fair trade.

Daniel: Is it fair for us to keep sitting on this secret? Is it fair to keep lying to kyle?

Summer: I don’t know. I wish that I had all the answers, but I don’T. I have been trying to get in touch with mom on the number that she used to set up that meeting with me. I’ve left her messages, I get no response. I’m worried that she already knows that you’ve told half of genoa city and you’ve scared her away.

Daniel: I have told the people that need to know in order to get her the help she needs to come home.

Summer: You keep telling yourself that. I’m gonna live in reality where you have just made everything worse.

Lily: Hey, stranger.

Daniel: Hey, when did you get back?

Lily: I just got back from the airport right now. Come here.

Lucy: Oh, welcome back, lily. Dad must’ve missed you.

[ Lily chuckling ]

Devon: Uh, it was nice of the nanny to be able to stay late so we can have some time together.

Abby: Yeah, I agree.

Devon: Uh-oh. I recognize that look and that tone of yours. What’s wrong with you?

[ Abby sighing ]

Abby: I’m looking forward to a relaxing evening, but something is bothering me, a lot.

Devon: What’s bothering you a lot?

Abby: It’s about my mom and your dad.

Devon: Okay. I know you’ve been worried about them for a while now.

Abby: But now, I’m worried that she’s thinking about marrying him.

Tucker: Sorry to put you on the spot like that.

Ashley: You’re not. I mean, you kind of are, but that’s okay.

Tucker: Well, you did proclaim your love for me in front of jack and diane, rather loudly in fact. And then you informed them of our engagement without warning me first. So, I thought I played along rather brilliantly.

Ashley: You were good.

Tucker: If I must say so myself.

Ashley: You were terrific.

Tucker: And I– I know for you it’s just an act, but are any of the emotions behind it real? Because I– I think I deserve to know where things stand.

Ashley: You’re right, you do. You deserve to know how I feel.

Christine: Hey, I just wrapped up in court when I got your text. Do you have good news for me?

Chance: These days, I don’t really know the difference between good news and bad news.

Christine: Okay. Well, let me rephrase the question. Do you have anything to bolster my case against diane?

Chance: The evidence I’ve seen actually points in the opposite direction.

Christine: Evidence? From jack? Well, I guess his phone call really got to you the other day.

Chance: I heard him out.

Christine: And?

Chance: Well, what he found isn’t enough to close the case, but it did confirm my hunch that there could be more to this.

Christine: As in phyllis is still alive, watching diane twist in the wind?

Chance: Look, christine, if there is something going on, I want to find it. Either way, we should put our doubts to rest, don’t you think? Or are you gonna convince me not to investigate?

Summer: Hi there.

Sharon: Hi, you. It’s good to see you. I’ve been thinking about you. How’s everything going?

Summer: Oh, you know, some good days, some bad days.

Sharon: Well, that’s to be expected. As long as you know that you have a very large and caring support group. There’s a lot of people who love you, summer.

Summer: I do know that, it’s the only way that I’m gonna get through any of this.

Sharon: Good. It’s important to remember. What can I get you?

Summer: Um, two large coffees and like a bag full of carbs, please.

[ Summer sighing ] What is it?

Sharon: Just the way you said a bag of carbs just now reminded me of phyllis. And that’s– it’s a good thing. You know, it may not seem like it yet, but eventually you’ll get to the place where you’re very grateful for all the ways that you’ve learned how to keep her memory alive.

Summer: Yeah, I know my mom isn’t fading away any time soon.

Phyllis: Okay, supergirl, your mom needs you.

[ Phyllis exhaling ]

Victor… why are you still

living with odors?

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Lily: I’m really sorry you had to see that.

[ Lily laughing ] That kiss was me missing your dad, not the other way around.

Daniel: Not that I didn’t miss you.

Lucy: Oh, good one. Right answer, dad.

Lily: So your dad told me that you were back in town. Can I take you guys to dinner tonight, maybe?

Daniel: Uh, no, actually the kid here and I, we already have plans.

Lucy: Wait, you should totally come with us.

Lily: Okay. Where am I going?

[ Lucy and daniel laughing ]

Daniel: I promise you, you’re gonna remember that you already have plans when I tell you what it is.

Lily: Oh, is it that bad?

Daniel: It’s dinner at society with johnny, connor, chelsea, and billy.

Lily: Um, that’s random. How did that happen?

Daniel: That is a very good question.

Lucy: Wait, what am I missing here?

Daniel: I promise the three of us will all go to dinner real soon.

Lucy: Oh, dad, come on.

Lily: I would be honored to come.

Daniel: Well, that doesn’t sound like sarcasm.

Lily: Well, no, it’s not. I– I’ll go, I mean, we can all be adults, right? It’s fine.

Lucy: Wait, be adults about what? Someone tell the kid what’s going on.

Lily: It’s fine. I will fill you in when we are on our way there. Let’s go.

Christine: So this strand of long red hair that jack found, how are we supposed to know it came from stark’s motel room? Is there security footage to back him up?

Chance: No.

Christine: Cell phone video? Anything? Are we just supposed to take jack’s word for it?

Chance: I poked the same holes in jack’s story, but something’s not sitting right with me. I want to follow up on it. I want to check out the motel room myself.

[ Christine sighing ]

Christine: Well, look, chance I can’t tell you to walk away from this because you’re not my direct report. And, I’m not gonna try and talk you out of it because I know how you are.

Chance: What’s that? Pigheaded?

Christine: Uh, tenacious. But I do trust your instincts. Look, the new chief won’t be too pleased if he thinks you’re taking time away from other cases.

Chance: It’s not gonna happen. I’m not even on duty right now.

Christine: Okay. Yeah, I don’t need to know how you’re gonna go about it, just tell me whatever I need to know, if anything comes up.

Chance: You’ll be the first.

Ashley: Must have been very strange and very confusing to hear me speaking so passionately and loudly about our love and our bond. I’m sorry about that. And I’m sorry that I can’t tell you what you want to hear.

Tucker: I see.

[ Tucker sighing ] So, we’re still in the friend zone then?

Ashley: Well, obviously we’re more than friends.

Tucker: How much more?

Ashley: Well, I’m attracted to you. What? Well… I like spending time with you.

Tucker: That’s sweet. Is there anything else?

Ashley: Every day, I trust you a little bit more. Every day, I feel like my heart is opening up a little bit wider. But as far as telling you, I love you the way a wife should tell her husband that she loves him, I– I– you’re asking too much of me.

Abby: My uncle jack was already in a sour mood when I got there, and then I asked to see my mom and he told me that she was out with tucker and that they have some big news to share.

Devon: What kind of big news?

Abby: I don’t know. Maybe it has something to do with this fake engagement. That would explain my uncle jack’s irritation.

Devon: Yeah, I still don’t know what to make of that. It’s weird.

Abby: I do, it’s insane. She’s clearly lost her mind.

Devon: I don’t know if I’d go that far. Your mom’s one of the sharpest people I know. But if she’s starting to trust tucker, maybe he’s giving her a reason to.

Abby: Or maybe he has her fooled. Look, I want to think that he is a changed man, that he’s evolved. Not only for our sake, but especially for our son’S.

Devon: But you’re worried if we let him in our life–

Abby: That he’s gonna disappoint us again. And when he skips town, like he always does, dominic is gonna lose his grandfather.

Devon: Right. No, I thought about that a lot too. And honestly, I don’t know if I believe his retirement story.

Abby: What do you mean?

Devon: I don’t think he can do it.

Abby: Well, I mean, he doesn’t have to work. He has enough money after selling mccall.

Devon: It’s not about the money. I don’t know if he’s able to actually live life without having action in it. I don’t know if he’s capable of that. Like hell, he could have some corporate scheme going on right now that we don’t see coming. And your mom’s the key to it. With moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,

Summer: Thank you.

Sharon: Any time. Summer, wait, you have change.

Summer: For the tip jar.

Chance: Oh, whoa, whoa, easy.

Summer: Oh, my god. I’m so sorry.

Chance: That’s, uh, not all for you, is it?

Summer: No, it’s uh, it’s for my team at marchetti. I want to show them that I haven’t forgotten about them. Some things need to go back to normal. Um, has there been any news?

Chance: The investigation into your mother’s death has officially been closed.

Summer: Okay, but unofficially, things are happening?

Chance: I’m trying to make some progress today. If anything solid develops, we’ll talk.

Summer: What do you mean, by progress?

Chance: I’m turning over every stone. So, trust me.

Summer: Okay. So, I’ll just wait to hear from you.

Sharon: My heart really goes out to her. She and phyllis were so close. But what can I get for you?

Chance: I’ll just do the usual. Make it a large though.

Sharon: Sure. Um, but first, do I by any chance owe you a thank you?

Billy: This is perfect. I’ll sit over here by chels and then you two– you can put that away, huh. Thank you very much.

Daniel: Hey, hey, look who I found wandering the streets,

Chelsea: Lily, hi.

Lily: Hi, how are you?

Chelsea: I’m doing well. How are you?

Lily: I’m good. Got back from new york, but happy to be home. So, you don’t mind that I’m crashing your party, do you?

Billy: No, no, not at all. Happy for you to join.

Lily: Okay, good, ’cause I’m starving.

Chelsea: We’ll just get you another place setting.

Lily: Okay.

Billy: Yeah, that’ll be a lot of bodies around this table, but uh…

Daniel: Do you want to just push two of them together?

Billy: Yeah, let’s do that.

Johnny: Or we can have two separate tables, adults here, kids there.

Lucy: I love it.

Connor: Okay by me.

Billy: Okay then.

Lily: Okay, well, this is fun, right?

Abby: So this so-called engagement, you think it’s part of tucker’s plan?

Devon: I think that we should wait and see if they’re actually engaged because we’re just speculating at this point.

Abby: They live together. He’s already proposed. It doesn’t sound speculative to me.

Devon: I guess not.

Abby: So what if my mom accepts? Whether it’s to mess with diane or if it’s actually real. And then what? They get remarried and he’s in the perfect position to hurt her again?

Devon: I just– I– I don’t think she’s gonna let that happen, abby. And I thought that you were warming up to tucker after you guys danced together the other night.

Abby: I probably was. But hell, maybe that’s a part of this whole scheme. He’s charming. He gets you to let your guard down and that, that is when he strikes.

Devon: Right. Well, the only thing we’re gonna be able to do is wait and see what happens.

Abby: And wait, back to this whole retirement thing.

Devon: What?

Abby: I mean, you’re right, a guy like tucker, he doesn’t just sell his company and then walk away. What if he is gonna go after jabot again?

Devon: I mean, that sounds like something the old tucker would’ve done.

Abby: Exactly, yes. He has gone after jabot before and if that is what he is going after again, I am not gonna let that happen. I will crush him first.

Tucker: You really are my better angel, you know that?

Ashley: Please don’t go that far.

Tucker: No, I am going that far.

Ashley: Stop it.

Tucker: Don’T. I’m never gonna give up on you, on us, ever. I just wish that… I wish you could love me for who I am instead of what I could be.

Phyllis: Hey.

Summer: Oh, my goodness!

Phyllis: Baby girl, there you are.

[ Phyllis laughing ] My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Johnny: And they’re paying.

[ Kids laughing ]

Lily: Ooh, they have that parmesan crusted halibut that I like, I’m gonna get that.

Daniel: I am trying to decide between the steak frites and the paella.

Lily: Um, do the steak frites and then you can have your fries.

Daniel: Done. What about an appetizer? Should we, um, should we get an artichoke dip? Split it for the table?

Billy: I don’t know. What looks good?

Chelsea: Everything.

Billy: I know the feeling.

Lily: Oh, come on. You’re gonna get your favorite, the crab enchiladas.

Chelsea: That’s your favorite?

Billy: Yeah, it used to be.

Johnny: Okay. Three burgers, tots, onion rings, bucket.

Connor: Love it.

Lucy: Love it.

Chelsea: Oh, sorry. It took me so long to decide.

Lily: That’s okay.

Daniel: It’s fine.

Billy: So, how’s charlie in new york?

Lily: Um, he’s good. He’s really good.

Billy: That’s terrific.

Chelsea: Did you do any shopping while you were there?

Lily: I didn’T. I had meetings and, you know, hung out with charlie, so that’s it.

Billy: You see any shows?

Lily: No, it was a pretty quick, in-and-out trip.

Daniel: Well, that’s a shame. I heard they’re reviving sweeney todd. It’s always fun.

Lily: Oh, sounds fun.

Billy: Yeah. Maybe not for lily. She doesn’t like musicals much.

Lily: Well, I don’t know. I could make an exception for sondheim.

Daniel: Lady has taste.

[ Lily chuckling ]

Lucy: So lily gave me the lowdown on the way here, but I feel like I only got half the story.

Johnny: Okay. Well, um, so connor and I are brothers but our mom’s only raising him.

Lucy: And that’s chelsea?

Johnny: And I have a different mom who was married to billy, my dad, but then they got divorced. And now I live with her and my sister, katie.

Connor: His dad and lily were a couple, but now he’s dating my mom. Plus, I’m getting a new baby sister. My dad, adam, and his ex-girlfriend, sally, who’s now a couple with my uncle nick, which is messed up, but after a while, it’s like whatever.

Lucy: Most families I know are like this, all blended and mixed up. It’s kind of the way things are now.

Johnny: Facts.

Lucy: My bio mom was pretty messed up, so dad didn’t stay with her for too long, thank god. So, dad and heather raised me, but then they broke up and she and I live in portugal. So, I don’t get to see my dad all too often. See, we’re all kind of in this weird messed-up club.

Connor: That’s cool. So can you speak portuguese?

[ Lucy laughing ]

Chance: I’m not sure I understand. Uh, thank you for what?

Sharon: Well, I received this bottle of champagne. Um, kind of a cryptic note. No signature.

Chance: Oh, okay. That’s odd.

Sharon: Nick advised me to just get rid of it, but first I wanted to see if you had sent it, but it sounds like you did not.

Chance: No, I’m so sorry. I wish I could take credit for that. I’ll tell you though, once things cool down at work, I’ll send you five champagne bottles. We can toast with that, okay?

Sharon: I like that.

Chance: It is kind of creepy though, getting a gift anonymously like that. You want me to look into it? I am a detective.

Sharon: No, no, no, no, it’s, um, it’s fine. I’m sure it’s fine.

Chance: Okay. Well, I’ll tell you what, if anything else comes up that troubles you, you let me know and I’ll handle it. Right now though, I got to take off. I gotta follow up on this investigation.

Sharon: Understood. Um, don’t let me keep you. I’ll see you later?

Chance: Count on it.

Phyllis: Did anybody see you come up here?

Summer: No, I was very careful. Nobody followed me.

Phyllis: Okay.

Summer: How has nobody followed you?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, did you know it was me when I slipped the key card in your pocket?

Summer: When did you do that, by the way?

Phyllis: I followed you for blocks and then you stopped and you looked at those shoes in the window at memoirs. That’s when I did it.

Summer: I brought you food.

Phyllis: Oh, good.

Summer: I didn’t know if you had been hiding in an alley or eating out of a dumpster–

Phyllis: Eating out of a dumpster? My goodness, your mother is more resourceful than that. Plus, um, jeremy made sure that I was financially set up to– to go anywhere. You know, far away if I wanted.

Summer: Well, still… you know, mom, this is really risky. You being in genoa city like this with all the charges that you could be facing.

Phyllis: I know that. I can’t run. I can’t be away from you. I saw how much pain you were in. I can’t do that to you. Right. I mean, what kind of mother can leave her children?

Summer: It would be okay, you know. I really just want you to be safe, even if that meant that you had to disappear for a long time.

Phyllis: No, I’m not gonna do that. You know, you’re much more brave than I am. You know that? It killed me to be away from you and your brother. And let me tell you something, I will never ever abandon you two again.

What are folks 60 and older

up to these days?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Ashley: But for now, maybe we should just focus on our fake engagement. Yeah. I mean, I think we need to be convincing, right? Because clearly jack and diane are a little skeptical and I probably shouldn’t have blurted it out, but I got caught up in the moment. But now we have to prove that we’re serious and I have some thoughts.

Tucker: Such as?

Ashley: I think we should start some extravagant wedding planning, right? And talk about all of our plans ad nauseam in front of jack and diane, right? We can make little goo-goo eyes at each other and just, you know, do that whole thing.

Tucker: So what’s your definition of extravagant? Just so we’re on the same page.

Ashley: Want to get married in a castle? Right? That could be fun. We could just arrive in a horse-drawn carriage. You could be black tie, I’ll be in an elaborate wedding gown, some horrible gown. That’s it really. Because then we can also talk about our fantastic honeymoon. You want to go to copenhagen, the countryside, see the northern lights maybe?

Tucker: I wanna do anything you want to do. Really, I’m open to anything.

Ashley: You seem a little smug.

Tucker: No, I’m riveted.

Ashley: What are you riveted by?

Tucker: Riveted by you. You just put so much thought into it already. I know that you’re not– you’re not there in the, uh, in the love department yet. It just seems like there’s at least a part of you that wants it to be real.

Abby: I swear to god, if that man comes near my family’s company–

Devon: Babe, babe, don’t stress about something that hasn’t happened yet. I didn’t mean to get you all riled up about this. I really didn’T. Even though I love seeing your feisty side, along with all your other sides.

Abby: Nice try, but you’re not gonna flirt me out of worrying about my mother. If tucker is winning her over, if your instincts are correct, we have to do something to protect her, fast.

Devon: Okay. Well, I might just have a way to do that.

Summer: Mom, this feels so good. It’s so good to just catch up with you.

Phyllis: Yeah, it’s amazing.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: I have a lot that I need to tell you. It’s not good.

Phyllis: All right, let’s hear it.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: I told daniel the truth. I felt like I had to.

Phyllis: I know you did. I called him. I had to hear his voice.

Summer: He knew that that was you.

Phyllis: Yeah, he knew it was me. Um, he just kept on pleading with me not to be mad at you for telling him and, summer, how could I be mad at you? I put you in an impossible situation. But I needed to hear his voice. How is daniel? I miss him. I’m missing him. I just want to tell him I love him. That’s all.

Summer: I know, mom, but I guarantee you you’re not gonna like what he’s done.

Phyllis: Okay. What has he done?

Summer: You were right to be wary of confiding in him. He…

Phyllis: He told people I’m alive.

Summer: Yeah. He told jack, michael, kyle. Jack told christine. Christine told chance, diane knows, lucy knows. Mom, it’s out of control.

Phyllis: Christine and chance. Do they believe that I’m alive?

[ Chance kissing his teeth ]

Chelsea: With all the troubled kids and teens out there, a game like this seems like a natural fit.

Lily: Yeah. And I think we do a teen version at first, but then maybe have a module where there’s parental controls to make it for younger kids.

Billy: Well, all this shop talk has got me craving sugar. Who’s up for dessert?

Johnny: Imagine having an entire video game based on you. That is so cool.

Lucy: My dad was kind of in a slump, as an artist. So, I’m really glad he was able to pivot to this.

Johnny: My mom says pivot a lot.

Connor: So does mine. Is that something adults do? They just pivot all the time?

Johnny: Basically.

Lucy: For me, it was my boarding school teacher. It was pivot this, pivot that, all day long.

Johnny: Until your eyes glazed over.

Lucy: Totally.

Chelsea: Lucy is so charming. I’m sure it’s comforting having her here during such a difficult time.

Daniel: It’s always nice having her around, even without a death in the family.

Chelsea: Yeah. No, I– I– I imagine it would be.

Billy: Yeah, selfishly. I don’t like it when johnny and katie are far away, you know. It doesn’t feel right.

[ Kids laughing ]

Lily: Well, they seem to know what they’re doing. Maybe we should follow their lead?

Chelsea: Actually having fun?

Lily: Yeah, worth a try, right?

[ Kids laughing ]

Billy: Well, let’s get some dessert, huh? Nothing more fun than a slab of chocolate cake and four forks.

Daniel: I love cake, I’m in.

Lucy: My boarding school’s okay. I made some friends there, but for the most part, it’s kind of lame.

Connor: Mine had a gazillions of rules, who can remember them all?

Lucy: Did you get in trouble a lot?

Connor: Some, I was glad to come home.

Lucy: I’m sure.

Connor: Although, I got sent there because my parents needed me out the way.

Johnny: Same. They say it’s for continuity and stability. I mean, they’re not really wrong ’cause stuff at home can change every five minutes.

Lucy: You and katie went to boarding school too?

Johnny: Hasn’t everyone? But recently, my parents have been more interested in sending me to my grandparents’ house, so.

Connor: Mine too. I can always tell when they’re having issues based on how often I get dropped at the ranch.

Summer: That’s your only question? Mom, I thought that you were gonna be furious.

Phyllis: Well, I’m upset that daniel blabbed. Of course, I am, but what’s done is done. I mean, that’s why I didn’t tell daniel, by the way. Let me ask you something. Is there a full-blown manhunt for me?

Summer: Christine doesn’t believe that you’re actually alive.

Phyllis: Of course, she doesn’t because she’s overjoyed at the idea that I might be dead. Why look for me? I guess all the years of pain and hell that I put that bug through paid off.

Summer: But jack, kyle, and michael, they’re still determined to prove that you are alive.

Phyllis: Of course they are because for them, it’s not about me. It’s about her.

Summer: Yeah, if you’re alive then diane’s free.

[ Phyllis scoffing ] And what kind of milk?

Chelsea: It sounds like you were having fun.

Johnny: Oh, yeah, definitely.

Lucy: It was really great meeting you, johnny, connor.

Connor: You too. It was great.

Lily: We’ll have to do it again sometime.

Connor: That’d be awesome.

Chelsea: Sounds like a plan.

Johnny: Oh, can i have your phone so that we’ll have each other’s numbers?

Lucy: Yeah, totally.

Johnny: Great. Thank you. And it is done. Oh, we have to hang out while you’re still in town.

Billy: You ready to get going? School night, we should get back to mom. You, uh, you okay? You need a ride home.

Chelsea: Oh, thanks, but no, we’re good. It’s such a nice night, I think we’re gonna walk.

Billy: That sounds nice. Okay, I will talk to you later.

Lily: I have to meet devon at the lounge, but, um, thank you guys for letting me tag along.

Billy: Yeah, it was really nice to see you.

Johnny: Okay, we will be out front.

Lucy: Yeah. Good night everybody.

Lily: Good night.

Daniel: We’ll talk tomorrow.

Chelsea: Sounds like a plan.

Billy: See you later.

Chelsea: Okay, bye. Are you okay? It seemed like you were having fun. Did something happen?

Connor: It was fine. Can we go home now?

Billy: Nice to see you both.

Lily: Yeah, you too.

Daniel: This was a nice distraction.

Billy: I’m glad you have lily’s friendship, especially now during your time of loss. Okay. Good night.

Lily: Good night.

Daniel: Night.

Ashley: Well, clearly there’s a difference between fantasizing about a wedding and fantasizing about a wedding to you.

[ Tucker chuckling ]

Tucker: I see. So all these– these specific ideas you’ve envisioned, don’t include me standing next to you at the altar?

Ashley: I asked you to move in with me because I wanted things to work out. I think they’re kind of working out, don’t you? So it’s not outside the realm of possibility that the– the rest of it could work out.

Abby: So, what are you thinking? How do we get out in front of this?

Devon: I’m thinking that I simply get closer to tucker. And I build up our relationship because I know he’s been dying to have this father-son bond with me and maybe if we have it, he might slip and say something and I can figure out what’s really going on.

Abby: You would do that for me?

Devon: I’d do anything for you.

Abby: Hm. We really are family. You’re even worried about my mom.

Devon: She’s family, of course, I am. And I also, I’m worried about you. I don’t want to see you stressed like you’ve been. So, if there’s anything I can do to help, I’m gonna do it. And if it turns out that he is playing your mom or if he’s going after jabot, I can crush him and you won’t have to do anything.

Chance: Hey, it’s chancellor. Give me forensics. Hi, maggie, it’s chance. How you doing? Yeah. Good, good, good. I got a question for you. I know we can get fingerprints off of a paper, but what if the paper’s been sitting around in the garbage for a few weeks? Okay. Let me ask you something else. Can we get dna off of a tear stain? Really? Even if there’s mascara in it? Okay. I’ll see you in a bit.

Phyllis: Okay, so if the D.A. Doesn’t believe I’m alive, that buys me time.

Summer: Daniel did me one favor.

Phyllis: What’s that?

Summer: When he confessed everything, he kept my name out of it. He said that you contacted him, not me.

Phyllis: Oh, well, I’m sure that’s a relief for you because if your husband finds out that you’re protecting your own mother over his mother–

Summer: Yeah, I know, mom. I know. I know how bad that would be, but daniel, he’s boxed me in with another lie and he’s put you even more at risk.

Phyllis: Listen, that’s why I didn’t tell him. I knew what he would do. I’m not gonna hold it against him.

Summer: What are you saying?

Phyllis: Uh, I want to see daniel. I want to give him a hug. You know, I want to see my son.

Summer: Mom, if daniel knows where you are, he’s gonna go straight to the police. He has convinced himself that that is the only solution to any of this, so no, daniel doesn’t get to see you. Not until we know that you are gonna be just as free as diane

Phyllis: Summer.

Summer: No, mom! We are doing this my way. You have already made my life complicated enough, okay? Just please listen to me on this and stay away from daniel. Don’t fight me, please.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Victoria: Now that we’ve broken ground on the semiconductor plant in hai phong, I would love to end our relationship with our partners in shanghai. They’re more focused on performance instead of security. And I think that’s a mistake given the current market changes.

Nikki: I thought you might feel that way. I already have the contract under review, so we can consider our options.

Victoria: Oh, of course, you have.

[ Laughs ] So, where do we stand with the deal in dubai?

Nikki: We’re right where we need to be. We expect to close next week.

Victoria: Mom, why are you staring at me? Something wrong?

Nikki: I’m just wondering what’s giving you that glow?

Audra: I would’ve preferred to do this in my office.

[ Nate sighs ]

Nate: Too many ears. And this news is only for you.

Kyle: Harrison would be all over this camp maradona.

Summer: Isn’t that a soccer camp? Don’t you think he’s a little young for that?

Kyle: Our boy loves the game.

Summer: He likes to kick a ball and run after it.

Kyle: That is the whole game.

Summer: I was thinking camp wildwind. All that nature, he can play soccer during the school year. I mean, a– a day camp like that would be more of an adventure for him.

Kyle: Okay. Well, we need to make a decision, like, now, so, fine. Whatever you want.

Summer: All right. What do you think, a half day, full day?

Kyle: Let’s start with a half day.

Summer: That’s what I was thinking.

Kyle: Great. Problem solved.

Summer: Hey. I’m sorry.

Jack: Your audacity is beyond belief.

Tucker: Jack, I don’t want any trouble. I just don’t like your tone.

Jack: Whatever is going on between me and my sister is none of your concern. Where is she?

Tucker: Whatever it is you’re angry about with her, you need to remember that she always has your best interest at heart.

Jack: Yeah. Well, not this time. Where is she?

Tucker: If you’re planning on making her life difficult, I guarantee you, I will make your life a living hell.

Jack: Oh, now you’re threatening me in my own home?

Tucker: Our home.

Jack: Not if I throw you out on your pompous ass.

Ashley: Hey, what is going on? I could hear you outside.

Jack: Your, whatever he is, is determined to insert himself in something that is none of his business.

Ashley: Okay, jack, you’re the one who’s shouting. So, maybe you need to just back off. Even when I was with the people I love,

Victoria: Am I? I’m– I’m glowing? Well, it must have, um– it must have been the oxygen facial that I got yesterday.

Nikki: Hmm, no. It’s much deeper than that. You’re radiant. There’s an energy, like the air around you is crackling.

Victoria: Mom, if you’re insinuating something about nate, again–

Nikki: It was merely an observation.

Victoria: All right. Duly noted. Can we get back to work now?

Nikki: It’s the kind of energy you get when you go for the kill and you win.

Victoria: Yes. I love when newman has a big win.

Nikki: I hear elena dawson stormed out of here. Was that your big victory?

Victoria: Oh, there it is. Why didn’t you just lead with that, mom? And no, elena and I did not get into some knock-down, drag-out over nate. To be perfectly honest, she did not play the victim. She let nate and I know exactly what she thinks of us, and she broke her contract, which I am more than happy to let her do.

Nikki: Oh. Well, I’m glad it didn’t get too ugly.

Victoria: Mom, you have been very vocal about your disapproval of me and nate and how we got together. I’m not proud that we hurt elena. I’m noT. I– it weighs on me. The guilt, the sneaking around. I’m glad that she knows about it now so that she can move on and have time to heal. And now nate and I can– we can live our relationship out in the open. And yes. Yes, it feels wonderful.

Nikki: So, your glow is about nate.

Victoria: Yes, it’s about nate. He’s a real part of my life now. And you and dad and nick, you need to learn how to accept it.

Kyle: What are you sorry for?

Summer: This tension between us. I hate it. And it’s all my fault.

Kyle: I’ve been worried about you. The distance between us, I feel like I’m losing a little bit more of you every day.

Summer: You have done nothing but love me and I’ve treated you horribly. I’ve just been so furious at diane and… that’s spilled over to you. I was looking for answers to my mom’s death, and I thought that you were in denial. So, I shut you out to protect myself, to punish you. I don’t know, but it was wrong. And kyle, I’m– I’m so sorry.

Kyle: Not gonna lie, I felt like the enemy. It hurts, but I know you were hurting more. Your grief and anger. Summer, your mom is alive. You can let go of that pain now.

Summer: How do I do that? I know that my mom is… supposedly alive, but… that grief, it’s just turned into terror. I don’t know where she is. I don’t know if she’s okay. And if the police, they go looking for her and they find her… or what if they don’t?

Kyle: Hey, hey. Come here. I know what will help. Seeing your mom with your own two eyes, that she’s not only alive, but that she’s home and safe where she belongs. I promise I will make that happen.

Jack: Of course, you take tucker’s side. You don’t even know what’s going on here.

Ashley: Why don’t you tell me what’s going on?

Tucker: Actually, let’s you and I grab a drink somewhere–

Jack: I got a better idea. Why don’t you go grab a drink? Ashley isn’t going anywhere ’till we hash this out.

Ashley: I don’t like the way you’re talking to me. Now stop it. What’s happening?

Jack: Would you excuse us, please?

Tucker: No, I’m good.

Ashley: Out with it.

Jack: Okay. I won’t even ask if you were trying to stage a coup at jabot. I already know the answer.

Ashley: I’m shocked it took billy so long to talk to you, frankly.

Jack: Oh, you are hereby on notice. If you have any intention of following through with your plans, you will fail miserably. You will have no standing. You will lose all credibility. Your reputation will be trashed.

Tucker: A coup?

Jack: Oh, yeah, like he’s not part of it. Ashley found jabot documents in your hotel room back when she knew who our real enemies were.

Ashley: You know very well tucker has nothing to do with this. The only enemy our family has is your fiancéE.

Jack: You leave diane out of this.

Ashley: It’s impossible. All roads lead back to diane.

Jack: This is about your anger.

Ashley: No, it’s about me trying to protect our family’s legacy, jack.

Jack: This is about your efforts to try to bring diane down.

Ashley: I will not let our company and our family be diane’s latest casualties. And that’s what’s gonna happen if you don’t wake up.

Jack: The only threat to this family right now is you.

Ashley: She’s gonna drag us all down, jack. I’m not gonna let it happen.

Diane: No more. This has to stop. She found it.

Audra: You look like you could use a drink.

Nate: Not a bad idea.

Audra: What’s going on?

Nate: Elena showed up at victoria’s office while I was there. That’s what’s going on.

Audra: Yeah. I thought that’s where she might be headed. Um, I ran into her at crimson lights. She was locked and loaded.

Nate: And you sent her in our direction?

Audra: No, I just listened.

[ Nate sighs ] No blood, no bruises. Couldn’t have been too bad.

Nate: Well, she ripped into victoria and me and quit the podcast.

Audra: All wrapped in her self-righteous, wronged-woman fury. You know some people will never understand how the world works.

Nate: I do feel bad about how it all went down, audra.

Audra: Okay, it’s over, nate. Stop beating yourself up.

Nate: Ah, it’s hard not to feel guilty. And it didn’t help that devon ran into me and he piled on.

Audra: I mean, you do know that when you screw people over, you don’t get to feel sorry for yourself when they dump on you.

Nate: I’m just tired of being judged.

Audra: Please tell me there’s more news in this pity party you’re throwing yourself.

Nate: There is. And it’s very encouraging.

Audra: Finally, the good part.

Nate: Nick and victoria recently got into it. Apparently nick’s worried that I’m using my relationship with her to gun for his job, or nikki’S.

Audra: Oh, kudos to nick for reading your final agenda. But I mean, he couldn’t be more wrong. You know, any fool can see that you actually have feelings for victoria, as much as it pains me. Uh, not because I’m interested anymore.

Nate: Hmm. Then what’s the problem?

Audra: Well, it makes you vulnerable. And emotions can really mess with your head. Get in the way of the best-laid plans and blow everything to hell.

Nate: Won’t happen. I’m an excellent multitasker.

Audra: And you have me to watch your back. Well, you know, I have to say, I was expecting bigger news than nick’s nervous. And I don’t see how it’s a good thing. You know, nick’s gonna be more protective of his position and his sister, and more suspicious of you. None of this works in our favor.

Nate: Uh-huh. Nick’s and victoria’s relationship is increasingly acrimonious. He attacks me, she defends me. After their latest battle, victoria made it a point to let me know that nick is afraid that I want his job. Well, I let it be known that I wasn’t averse to the idea of moving up, at some point. And victoria didn’t have a problem with it… at all.

Nikki: Victoria, it’s not that I disapprove of your relationship with nate. I am concerned.

Victoria: There’s nothing to be concerned about.

Nikki: All I want is your happiness.

Victoria: Well, then just be happy for me, mom. Look, could you please just be the one person who at least tries to understand? Dad has interrogated me. Nick won’t let up about nate being too ambitious, being a threat to newman enterprises, not being trustworthy enough. I don’t wanna hear it anymore.

Nikki: Well, those are valid concerns.

Victoria: But they don’t know nate the way that I do. He has this energy and this openness. I– I can be myself around him. He’s not gonna judge me. And we build each other up. We inspire each other. We are so in sync with each other.

Nikki: Darling, you have had that same synergy before.

Victoria: Do not mention ashland, mom, or J.T. Or my horrible taste in men. Because nick has been happy enough to remind me of that already.

Nikki: What ashland did to you was devastating. And it has been a long time before you would even consider a romantic relationship, that you could trust your feelings again.

[ Sighs ] This glow, the sparkle in your eye, if nate is responsible for that, well, your happiness is what’s most important to me.

Victoria: Then I have your blessing?

Nikki: I’m your mother. I will always look out for you. But maybe it’s time that I let you look out for yourself and trust your instincts, trust your heart.

Victoria: Do you really mean that?

Nikki: I do.

Victoria: Thank you. And I promise you, I’m not gonna push things with nate. We’re in a good place and I intend to keep things as they are for now.

Nikki: Well, I think that caution and moderation are always good things. So, I’ll get back to those contracts.

Victoria: Mom, thank you for your support. It means more to me than you know.

Nikki: Oh.

Summer: You’ve been so supportive, I– I don’t deserve it.

Kyle: You’re my wife. I love you. And it wasn’t that long ago that you were helping me deal with my mother coming back into my life. There were a lot of pieces to pick up and you helped put me back together.

[ Phone ringing ] Oh, um, I’ve been waiting on this call. It’s our leather factory in argentina. I just need to okay the new production line. It’ll only take a second. Hey. Everything is gonna work out. I promise.

Daniel: Hey.

Summer: I am so not in the mood for another argument.

Daniel: Well, then let’s not argue. We have to talk about mom.

[ Sighs ]

Summer: I’m all talked out. Especially with you.

Daniel: Being angry at each other isn’t gonna solve anything.

Summer: There’s a lot more to solve after you opened your mouth.

Kyle: Hey, look who I found.

Summer: Lucy, hey, it’s good to see you back in town.

Lucy: Yeah.

Summer: Are– are you okay?

Daniel: It’s all right.

Lucy: I heard about what happened. I’m really sorry for what phyllis and that creep stark did to your mom.

Diane: We cannot go on like this. The constant arguing and– and yelling, it’s not healthy.

Ashley: I’ve got a solution.

Jack: Diane is not going anywhere.

Diane: Jack, that’s enough. We have chased kyle and summer into the pool house. Allie’s moved in with noah. Traci has escaped to new york. This is not a home. It’s a battleground. So, for all of our sakes, could you maybe do us a favor and try to show a little mutual respect and con–

Ashley: Okay, this is really rich coming from you.

Jack: Ashley, I’m warning you.

Ashley: No, you don’t get to warn me and you don’t get to give me orders.

Jack: Oh, but it’s fine for your boyfriend here to give me orders in this house.

Ashley: You want peace, diane? Why don’t we have summer and kyle move back into their home? The one that you chased them out of. We’ll make some adjustments to your ankle monitor and you move into the pool house. You’ll be very comfortable there. It’s almost exactly the same as it was before you burned it down.

Jack: Is there no level you won’t stoop to?

Ashley: Just trying to protect my family, jack.

Jack: After coming and going from this house, sometimes for years, treating it as little more than your pied–terre, you now wanna command it as your territory? I don’t think so. While you have been off on your adventures abroad, I have been living in this house, managing and maintaining this house as a family home! Diane is more family than tucker will ever be. If you can’t comply with the rules, if you need to attack her constantly, I suggest you rethink your living arrangements.

Ashley: Tucker’s a part of this family.

Jack: The hell he is.

Ashley: Diane is your fiancéE. Tucker’s mine.

[ Diane scoffs ] Want luxury hair repair that doesn’t cost $50?

Jack: Wait, you’re engaged?

Diane: Since when?

Jack: Is this some kind of joke?

Ashley: Why would I joke about something as amazing and wonderful as being engaged to the man I love?

Diane: Well, the man you love looks as surprised as we are.

Tucker: That’s only because we weren’t planning on sharing the big news yet.

Ashley: Right.

Tucker: But I couldn’t be happier hearing the words out loud.

Jack: He just moved in. You didn’t want him living in your room.

Ashley: Well, we didn’t wanna rush things. But, you know, when it’s right, it’s right. And when you’re this happy, why wait?

Diane: Yeah. All this happiness, why– why keep it a secret?

Tucker: We didn’t wanna risk a public announcement ’cause it’s so easy to get poisoned at those things, you know?

Ashley: Yes.

Jack: Is this another one of your nasty, petty little games? Making a mockery of marriage and love.

Ashley: That’s offensive because our engagement is a testament to our love for each other and to change and forgiveness.

Kyle: I appreciate you saying that, lucy.

Lucy: Maybe I– I shouldn’t have said anything.

Summer: No, it’s fine.

Lucy: I miss phyllis. I really do. But faking her death and– and framing your mom for it, why would her and that stark guy do something so terrible?

Summer: A lot of people feel the same way.

Daniel: Hopefully we can get this resolved soon. Get her back here with us.

Kyle: Summer and I were just talking about how much she needs to see her mother face-to-face.

Daniel: Um, don’t you have a manicure at the spa, kiddo?

Lucy: I just– I saw uncle kyle and wanted to know if there was an update about phyllis. I’m really sorry there isn’T.

Kyle: So are we.

Daniel: Well, I mean, you better scoot if you don’t wanna be late. Kyle, would you mind showing her where the spa is?

Lucy: Dad, there are signs everywhere.

Kyle: Hey. You’re gonna deny me a few extra minutes of catching up?

Lucy: No. That– that would be nice.

Daniel: Let’s do it. I wanna hear about portugal.

[ Daniel sighs ]

Summer: You told lucy?

Daniel: What did you want me to do?

Summer: Wait until mom was back. I mean, god, daniel, what are you gonna do next? Take out a full page ad? Tell the whole world?

Daniel: When are you gonna accept that telling the truth is the right thing to do for our sake and mom’s?

Summer: Not if it lands her in prison or a life on the run forever looking over her shoulder.

Audra: This could be a positive development. Now, victoria obviously trusts you. The closer you get, the deeper her divide with nick. We can definitely use that. And it doesn’t hurt that she already has the idea of you moving up in the ranks.

Nate: I didn’t push. Just finessed it. Which is the key to getting what we want.

Audra: I should probably give you a heads-up. Um, I once told victoria I was interested in your job someday. And I wasn’t particularly shy about it.

Nate: She told me.

Audra: She did?

Nate: She actually warned me about you. That craven ambition of yours.

Audra: Well, I meant it as more of a compliment to you and how amazing you are and how you’ll probably be promoted or poached by another company.

Nate: And you’d be more than ready to step in. For the record, I told victoria I admired your ambition.

Audra: Hmm.

Nate: But let’s be clear about one thing moving forward– no unilateral moves. We’re a team now. So, either we’re in this together or not at all.

Audra: I’m very in.

Adam: Yeah, well, to be competitive, we need to shift that service to an ott platform. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Research on my desk by the end of the day. Okay, great. Thank you. Victoria.

Victoria: Dining alone again?

Adam: Um, it’s how I get the most work done.

Victoria: You must be very busy these days, especially given from what I understand, you think that newman media might be a threat to your new company.

Adam: Huh. Do you deny it?

Victoria: Oh, absolutely not. We are most definitely a threat to you. You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

“The young and the restless” will continue. When it comes to your hair, ingredients matter.

Audra: So, what’s our next move?

Nate: There could be an opportunity on the horizon. Something we might be able to parlay into getting closer to our goals.

Audra: So, what is it?

Nate: Newman media may be headed for a showdown with adam newman.

Adam: Thank you so much.

[ Clears throat ] You have spoken to our father.

Victoria: Yes. As a matter of fact, I have. And he made it very, very clear that you intend to come after newman media.

Adam: Ah. Well, that’s good he gave you advanced warning. That way it can be a fair fight.

Victoria: No, it was more along the lines of dad wanting me to take pity on you and your ramshackle company.

Adam: I think you know mccall’s potential. You were gonna buy it for yourself. So, you know the threat’s real.

Victoria: No, I walked away. It wasn’t worth it to me.

Adam: Yeah, you ran because you knew dad was gonna put me in charge of mccall and you didn’t want to give me the win.

Victoria: You know, it really is a pity that dad would spend so much money buying a company for you, just so that you can run it right into the ground.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] And yet here you are, you’re calling me out. So, maybe you… you are a little bit worried.

Victoria: This is an act of mercy. You’re my brother. Newman media is stronger. It is far more cutting-edge. It has the full backing of newman enterprises. Mccall unlimited is a sad, failed company that should have been sold and raided for its few lucrative divisions that it has left. So, you can go ahead and pound your chest about coming after newman media, but you’re gonna be spending most of your time keeping mccall off of life support while we roll over you on our way to greater success.

[ Adam scoffs ]

Summer: I’m not just gonna accept what you’ve done when you have ruined everything for mom. If the police take this seriously, then they’re gonna look for her. And if they find her, they’re gonna throw her in prison before she has a chance to clear herself.

Daniel: You know, on the flip side, diane will be out from underneath a murder rap and she’ll be free to live her life again.

Summer: It’s not a fair trade.

Daniel: Is it fair for us to keep sitting on the secret? Is it fair to keep lying to kyle and let him be upset that his mom might be facing life in prison?

Summer: No. I just wish–

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. I wish that I had all the answers, but I don’T. I have been trying to get in touch with mom on the number that she used to set up that meeting with me. And I– I’ve left her messages. I get no response, nothing. I’m worried that she already knows that you’ve told half of genoa city and you’ve scared her away.

Daniel: I have told the people that need to know in order to get her the help she needs to come home.

Summer: You keep telling yourself that. I’m gonna live in reality, where you have just made everything worse.

Kyle: Lucy’s all set.

[ Daniel sighs ]

Daniel: Thanks, man. I– I appreciate it.

Kyle: That’s what uncles are for.

Daniel: I gotta go do some work, but, um… we should talk again– soon.

Kyle: When are you gonna cut daniel a break?

Jack: So, now you wanna take the moral high ground, with tucker mccall, of all people. I can’t believe you would even think of marrying him. Everyone knows who he is.

Ashley: No. I know who he really is. The old tucker would’ve left when he realized things weren’t going the way he thought they would. But he chose to stay. And I’ve seen him fight for the relationship with his son. I’ve seen him fall in love with his grandson. I’ve seen him be vulnerable and loyal and honest. And he surprises me every day, in a good way, with all the effort he makes to do the right thing.

Jack: He is conning you, ashley.

Ashley: Stop right there. Tucker never faked his death. So, don’t judge him. And don’t judge me for loving him. Your obsession with diane is nothing but pure selfishness. You’ve turned your back on summer and her grief, you’ve turned your back on our company. You’ve turned your back on everyone and everything in your life so you can fixate on being diane’s hero. I don’t get it, but it’s not gonna end well. I’m ready to go if you are.

Tucker: Yes.

Ashley: Diane, would you please hold onto those bridal magazines you were so excited about? I’m going to need them. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease Hi, my name is tony cooper.

Jack: How did we get to this? Where every encounter with ashley is a battle.

Diane: Well, does it help to say that your love for me isn’t selfish? It gives me so much happiness and hope.

Jack: You know, you’re right. The one thing missing in this house for everyone under this roof is peace. And I am partly to blame. I– maybe I am selfish. Maybe I’ve been obsessed. Too caught up in trying to clear your name and I’ve been remiss in other areas.

Diane: Well, that’s because you’re so protective and I love you for it. Jack, you don’t have to go this alone. We have michael and kyle and soon maybe even the gcpd–

Jack: No, no, it’s these– these unrelenting attacks from ashley against you. I swear if I could throw her and that idiot mccall out of this house, I would.

Diane: Well, you can’t completely blame ashley. I mean, she doesn’t know that phyllis is alive. So, she looks at me and sees a murderer.

Jack: Wait, you’re actually defending ashley after the barrage she just fired at us?

Diane: No, no, but you have to be honest. Come on. Ashley wasn’t wrong about everything.

Ashley: Could you believe my brother? That sanctimonious, self-righteous hypocrite. I mean, at least I was able to wipe some of the smugness off his face. And what about diane? She had nothing to say. And you know why? Because I was speaking the truth and she knew it. And thank you, by the way, for defending me to jack.

Tucker: Sure. You know the best part for me? Part where we’re engaged. We are engaged, right?

Audra: Newman media going head to head with mccall? We’ll crush them.

Nate: That’s the plan.

Audra: Hmm. And I’m your secret weapon. You know, all those years I spent working with tucker, I know everything there is to know about mccall. The corporate culture, their strengths, their many, many weaknesses. Now, I’ll be aware of any back alley moves adam might make.

Nate: That will be helpful.

Audra: Mm. You know, this could also be long and drawn out. So, I like to focus on a faster timeline, you know, for our personal corporate ladders.

Nate: Hmm. I guess I’m the half of this team that understands patience.

Audra: Yeah, no, I’m more from the “move fast and break things” school of thought. So, how do we fast-track this?

Nate: We don’T.

Audra: I don’t understand.

Nate: Think about it, audra. It won’t be easy to oust nick and nikki from their positions. It will take time to do it right. And I intend to use that time to put in the work. Really dig deep. I wanna get a feel for the company, get to know victoria on a much deeper level. Earn her respect. I wanna be fully prepared to help newman enterprises when the time comes.

Audra: You know, there’s an awful lot of “I” in there for a man who just told me we’re a team.

Nate: If you need to feel like you’re already winning, maybe you should find a new game.

Summer: I’m sorry, but I– I don’t think that my brother deserves a break. He told you, jack, michael before he told his own sister that our mom had contacted him. He even tried to convince you to not tell me at all.

Kyle: He only wanted to–

Summer: To protect me? I’m so sick of hearing that. And why am I the only person that is concerned with protecting my mom?

Kyle: You’re not the only one who–

Summer: Well, it feels like that.

Kyle: Okay. What can I do to help?

Summer: I have to go.

Kyle: Summer, wait. When you apologized earlier, I thought we were good, a team again. So, what is going on?

Summer: I can’t do this right now.

Kyle: Then when? You’re shutting me out when your mother’s dead, you’re shutting me out when she’s alive. How can I get you to believe I am on your side?

[ Phone ringing ]

Summer: I have to take this.

Kyle: No. What could possibly be more important than what we’re discussing right now? My husband and I have never been more active.

Adam: Victoria, I have always admired your confidence. But I look forward to proving you wrong.

Victoria: Oh, I look forward to the challenge as well. Actually, you know what? Challenge is too strong of a word. I look forward to the bump in the road that you will provide me.

Adam: I’m a bump?

Victoria: You’re a bump.

[ Exhales ]

Adam: Here’s a tip. Go ahead and underestimate me.

Victoria: I’ve already assessed the threat. You’re too emotional.

[ Adam scoffs ] Business and victory requires a very cool, calm head. But you, my brother, you run very, very hot. You’re gonna make a mistake. You’re gonna take mccall down with you because it’s personal for you. And that is always fatal.

Adam: It’s not personal for you.

Victoria: No, it’s not. It’s business for me.

Adam: Ooh. Emotional hothead as I am, I also was the ceo of newman media, so I know the company’s inner workings better than anyone. So, I’m prepared for what’s ahead.

Victoria: You know what? I almost like you right now. Who knows? Maybe this could be fun.

Adam: Hmm. Let the battle begin.

Summer: Kyle, this is work.

Kyle: It can wait.

Summer: Hello? Damn it!

Kyle: I gotta get to the office. See you later.

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Meet me in an hour. Location tbd.

Summer: Mom this had better be you.

Jack: I– I don’t wanna think that anything ashley says is true.

Diane: She was right about my past. Some of the choices I made, the terrible things I’ve done. No, ashley has every right to be angry and she might never get over it. But that doesn’t take away the importance of family. The one that you and I share with kyle and summer and harrison, allie. And the one you grew up in, which includes ashley. So, we do our best to love and protect each other. And sometimes it’s ugly. But one day we might really be one big happy family.

Jack: You are a marvel that you can find that kind of generosity of spirit for someone who has treated you so badly. It makes me love you all the more.

Diane: And I love you.

Ashley: I have to hand it to you. It was a brilliant idea you had to mess with jack and diane. Did you see his jaw drop?

Tucker: So, you stole a page from my playbook.

Ashley: I did. Thank you so much for the idea.

Tucker: Happy to help. But, uh, you said other stuff there, too. Was the rest of it also to mess with jack? The whole… “become your better self” challenge to me, is that a game? String me along a little bit, have a little fun.

Ashley: That doesn’t make any sense. Why would I ask you to move in with me if that was the case?

Tucker: I don’t know. Why would you?

Ashley: I see the good in you. I– I saw it the other night when you were spending time with devon and when you showed me those videos of dominic in music class. You know, I– I see the man that you could be and– and I– I– what? I care a lot about that man. I’ve grown to care so–

Tucker: That’s not the word that you used back at the house. You said you loved me. So, was that just for dramatic effect, or can you look me in the eye right now and say it again?
