Nick: I’m just glad that, you know, we’re okay.

Phyllis: Yeah. We are okay. We’re better than okay.

Nick: Put the whole Jack thing aside.

Phyllis: Yeah, I think we proved that last night. Um, by the way, you really outdid yourself, and that’s saying a lot.

Nick: You’re welcome.

Billy: What about advertising? Newspapers, magazines, maybe tv stations by chance?

Gaines: As a matter of fact, he did. Couple of news stations.

Billy: Oh, wow. There you go. Very cool.

Gaines: You know, it is amazing that you would remember my father’s name after so many years. You must have been very young. He stopped working a long time ago.

Billy: Well, it’s a steel trap. Information gets in, doesn’t get out. It’s kind of a cruse. So what brings you into town

Nick: Are you sure you can do this?

Phyllis: Are you doubting my expertise?

Nick: No, no, this is just next-level search-and-discovery mission, that’s all.

Phyllis: Well, good thing you have me. No one better to find out ashland locke’s true identity.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Well, you’re not the first expert to go digging into ashland’s background.

Phyllis: Yeah, well, I’m the first one who’s gonna succeed.

Nick: Well, we need to confirm ashland’s origin story

before he marries my sister.

Phyllis: Well, good thing you have me because this is my wheelhouse. Sleuthing and scheming. Spying.

[ Laughs ] Also, I happen to be very, very, very madly in love with you, and I want to see you happy.

Nick: Well, that’s a two-way street.

Phyllis: Okay, here we go. What did rey say about somebody who wants to change their name legally?

Nick: He said it takes a lot of documentation, you know, a lot of legal channels that you have to go through.

Phyllis: Alright, well, I am checking out these databases that are connected to the — you know, the legal authorization and legal channels for a young man who wanted to change his name to ashland locke, what, 30, 40 years ago.

Nick: Yeah, I mean, there’s just got to be something.

Phyllis: There’s nothing. Nick, there’s nothing here. I mean, I’m still so dumbfounded that this guy has successfully buried his true identity. And there’s no documentation anywhere. I mean, that just means that —

Nick: It means something very strange is going on.

Billy: We need to have a serious conversation about ashland locke.

Gaines: I’m busy.

Billy: We can go somewhere private. I promise you, it’ll be worth your while.

Gaines: [ Sighs ]

Billy: 10 minutes. You won’t regret it.

Gaines: Alright. Let’s go.

Ashland: $500,000. Yes, I’m aware. It — look, you just make the money happen, and I’ll take care of the rest. Please just have it ready. Thank you.

Abby: Ashland, hi.

Ashland: Abby, it is lovely to see you.

Abby: Yeah. Given how often you’ve been in here, it’s odd that we haven’t done more than exchange pleasantries. And now you’re about to be my brother-in-law.

Ashland: I’m looking forward to being a part of your wonderful family, especially getting to know you better.

Abby: I feel the same. You know, I think it’s time that we get to know each other. Mind if I join you?

Ashland: I would be delighted.

Victor: Well, I hope you’re not too busy with something very important.

Victoria: Daddy, you know i always make time for you.

Victor: Whoa! Look at that. My goodness, is that a merrill londeree?

Victoria: It is.

Victor: Sweetheart, that is so damn good. Look at the poise and the grace and the presence. My god, I love it. Don’t you?

Victoria: Oh, well, you know, it’s taking some getting used to, looking at my face all day, but it just reminds me to keep focused on getting the job done.

Victor: I think it’s beautiful.

Victoria: Mom was worried that you wouldn’t be that enthusiastic about it.

Victor: Why would she worry about that? This is a fitting symbol of your new position, sweetheart. You’re running this company. It’s in your capable hands now. And you’re bringing it into the future — a bright, prosperous future, right? I mean, this is symbolic of your new position of power, really.

Victoria: It was a gift from ashland.

Victor: Oh, it is. Oh. Well, now, I have a gift for you, as well. Age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss,

Abby: I couldn’t stand the thought that our first real conversation would be after the “I dos.”

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Well, to say that you have been busy is an understatement. Not only are you the owner of my favorite restaurant in town, but I have also heard that there’s a new member of the family.

Abby: Yeah, dominic.

Ashland: That’s a strong name.

Abby: Dominic phillip newman abbott chancellor.

Ashland: Oh, my. That moniker is longer than he is.

Abby: Oh, he’ll grow into it eventually.

Ashland: He seems to have been born into the role of an ambassador.

Abby: A role that I know very well. I’ve played it most of my life. My father is a newman and my mother is an abbott.

Ashland: Wow. I would imagine that would make for interesting times, given the unique histories of your families.

Abby: Oh, the stories I could tell.

[ Chuckles ] I am — I’m very proud of both sides of my family tree. I see the best in them, but I am also not too shy to call them out on the worst.

Ashland: They’re lucky to have you. And now, dominic.

Abby: Yeah, he really is such a miracle. I know I may be biased, but he is the perfect little angel. Oh, his little face. I mean, I’m now that parent that takes pictures and videos of him all day long and shows them to everybody.

Ashland: Well, that all changes so quickly. It’s really critical you capture it all at once. Do you have any pictures of him, by any chance?

Abby: Oh, I thought you would never ask.

[ Chuckles ] I do, yes. Settle in.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: I have so many pictures and videos that I’m gonna need my own data storage facility soon. And while I am bragging about my son, please tell me about you and victoria. When business turned into romancE. When you knew you were in love. All of it because there is nothing better than a good love story.

Billy: I did some digging into you after we met, mr. Gaines.

Gaines: Well, don’t believe everything you read.

Billy: I found out that you took over your father’s law practice after he passed away. Two years later, your license was revoked for malfeasance. Yet, one of the biggest businessman in the world claims that you are one of his east coast lawyers. Now, if he’s lying about that, what else is he lying about?

Gaines: Why are you so interested?

Billy: Well, it’s my job. I shine a light into the dark corners. I flip over rocks, exposing what’s really there, not what the rich and famous would like to be there. But you knew who I was when we met. You know that I run chanccomm with my partner, the woman who i was with, lily winters.

Gaines: You already wrote an exposé on locke. You hardly were the first.

Billy: Yeah, but there’s so much more information that locke has been hiding for decades.

Gaines: Hmm, that sounds personal. What’s your beef with him?

Billy: I’m gonna assume you also know that he’s about to marry the mother of my children. A man like that, spending that much time with my kids, I need to know that he can be trusted. And so far, I’ve found no evidence of that to be true. The fact is, I think he’s hiding something monumental, and my intuition tells me that you know something about that.

Victoria: What is this?

Victor: Well, open it and read it.

Victoria: Dad.

Victor: What?

Victoria: You can’T.

Victor: Oh, really? You’re gonna stop me or what?

Victoria: This is the — this is —

Victor: It’s the deed to my villa in tuscany, the palazzo. It is yours, as of the day of your wedding with ashland.

Victoria: I can’t believe it.

Victor: This is your tuscan home away from home, you know.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Daddy.

Victor: I want you to spend many, many happy years with ashland there, okay?

Victoria: I really don’t know how to thank you. Not just for the gift, but for what this represents.

Victor: There’s no need.

Victoria: No, daddy, I know you feel like you were doing your fatherly duty digging into ashland’s past, but this just shows me that you support us and you support our marriage.

Victor: I love you. You’re my daughter. I want you to enjoy that house and that villa on that estate for many, many years. I’ve never seen you this happy. I want you to continue to be happy, okay?

Victoria: Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] I’m susan and I’m 52

Abby: I can’t believe that victoria ever spoke to you again after that first negotiation. I mean, you chose victor and adam over her.

Ashland: Well, as I told you, I think she was a little more than exasperated. I think she still might be.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: But I admired her even then.

Abby: She is very impressive.

Ashland: It was more than that. You know, even from the beginning, there was a spark, this connection, recognition, you know? Something that the poets have eternally tried to put into words. The first we kissed, I — I just knew that everything was different. And for the first time in my life, I had found a person on this planet who could make me happy to be alive.

Abby: Yeah.

Ashland: I’m sorry, did I say something that —

Abby: No, I’m — I’m sorry. No, it’s — it’s okay. I was just — I was thinking about my wedding and how much i miss my husband.

Ashland: Yeah, I would imagine that must be really tough, not having him around, especially with dominic in the picture.

Abby: Yeah.

Ashland: But you also must be very proud of him.

Abby: I am. You know what? I am — I am so happy for you and victoria. And I hope and pray that your love lasts forever.

Ashland: Oh. Well, prayers are welcome. I really enjoyed this time with you and getting to know you, and I would imagine you’ve got just tons of work to do, so I’ll be on my way.

Abby: Actually, before you go, there is something I wanted you to know.

Ashland: Tell me anything you want.

Abby: I have to admit, I had my reservations about you and victoria. I mean, everything just happened so fast, but now I can see why she fell in love with you and why she’s willing to take this next step with you, after everything she’s been through.

Ashland: You mean with billy?

Abby: Look, don’t get me wrong, I love my uncle. He’s a terrific father and his heart is normally in the right place. But when they were together, victoria spent an inordinate amount of time putting out fires.

Ashland: I have heard the stories.

Abby: Yeah, the gambling, the drinking, the affairs, shady business dealings.

Ashland: Sounds difficult.

Abby: And look, I know every relationship has their ups and downs, but look at you. I mean, your health, but that’s not something that you could help. I mean, that was thrown at you, and you and victoria, you’re dealing with it together.

Ashland: Hmm.

Abby: And the way that you’re merging your company with newman, it just shows how much you admire victoria’s business acumen.

Ashland: She’s a powerhouse. One of the myriad reasons why i love and adore your sister. You know, she was the one that convinced me to go forward with this treatment, and I was dead set against it and she was quietly and subtly relentless.

Abby: Well, when she’s right, she can be ferocious.

Ashland: Yeah, well, I had told myself that I wanted nothing to do with being tired and sick all the time from the chemotherapy, but I went ahead with it because I had wanted more time with her. And I will cherish every minute.

Abby: I can see it in your eyes, how much you love her.

Ashland: It’s true, I do.

Abby: But I also know your reputation. And it’s not that unlike my father’S. You have a certain world view, certain way of handling things. And I want you to take this with the spirit that it is intended because I promise you, I really only want the best for you and victoria.

Ashland: Feel free to speak your mind.

Abby: Please never lie to victoria. Billy did that far too often. I think he thought that he was protecting her, but he was really only protecting himself.

Ashland: I will take that to heart. Thank you.

Abby: Yeah. Okay, well, I am going to get home to dominic.

Ashland: Of course. I so appreciate this time, and thank you. It’s been great getting to know you.

Abby: I feel the same. Well, I’m sure you have a lot to get done before the wedding.

Ashland: As a matter of fact, I have some business that I need to attend to.

Billy: I know whatever brought you to genoa city has to do with ashland locke because he is desperately trying to keep something hidden.

Gaines: I’ve already told you —

Billy: Don’t tell me that you’re his lawyer because you don’t have a license to practice anymore.

Gaines: I’m a consultant on retainer.

Billy: Then why misrepresent yourself like that?

Gaines: Eh, old habits die hard.

Billy: That’s one option. The other option would be you and ashland have an agreement because you know something that he’s willing to pay to keep quiet. I’m gonna take your silence as a “yes.” It’s only a matter of digging before I come up with the rest of the details.

Gaines: Well, there is nothing to uncover.

Billy: Or I can have my team over at chanccomm take over. They’re highly motivated, very well funded. Of course, we could come up with a financial agreement between the two of us. What do you say, jesse? Do you mind if I call you jesse? A very lucrative financial agreement, right here, right now.

Gaines: [ Sighs ]

Nick: I mean, how does a young guy even know how to begin to form a new identity?

Phyllis: I know, especially when anything legal leaves a trail.

Nick: Shady friends and associates? What are you looking at now?

Phyllis: I’m looking at a national database right here. I am looking for death records or a deceased actual ashland locke who died, right? And then this guy that we know — he assumed his identity, what, like 30, 40 years ago.

[ Keys clacking ]

[ Sighs ] There’s nothing. I mean, you and I both know it’s easy to pay somebody off, to get someone to look the other way, do a favor for you, if you have enough money.

[ Keys clacking ]

Nick: I mean, he’s got money now, but this identity switch happened, what, decades ago, before he got this job at the station with camilla rhodes in new jersey, before he became successful. According to locke, you know, he had a rough childhood, an abusive father, and no resources. He needed a fresh start.

Phyllis: Do we really believe that story? Really?

Nick: I mean, my dad does, probably because it hits close to home, so that part of the story does ring true. But everything we’ve discovered today, nothing leads us to the fact that ashland locke might be a fabricated name, and there’s no paper trail pointing us to a legal name change. So let’s just assume for a moment that ashland locke was a real person and his identity was legally established.

Phyllis: Yeah. An actual ashland locke that this guy that we know took his identity, just stepped into his life. He paid for it.

Nick: Maybe he took the name from someone who was really sick.

Phyllis: Or someone who wanted to just disappear.

Nick: But paid him off with what? I…

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Nick: I don’t know. You know, maybe it wasn’t a deal at all. Maybe ashland locke’s dead, you know? That’s why the name’s not popping up in any of the databases.

Phyllis: Possibly.

Nick: Where do we even begin?

Phyllis: I have an idea.

[ Keys clacking ]

 

Victor: You know, the fact that ashland changed his name obviously raised some questions.

Victoria: Obviously.

Victor: But not with me. I want you to know that, okay? I, um, was very moved by what he said. A lot of it resonated with me.

Victoria: Yes, daddy, because of your own past, of course.

Victor: You know, I’ve always prided myself on my ability to read people. Based on that, I made a lot of important decisions in my life and in business. And I could see in his face as he was talking about his childhood how painful that was. And yet he was able to extricate himself from that abusive childhood and become a very successful business tycoon and become the man that he is now.

Victoria: You know it meant a lot that ashland opened up to us. He’s never shared that part of his life with anyone.

Victor: You know, it was billy boy who made him re-live all that. Billy abbott is a liability, always has been, always will be. He’s the one you have to watch.

Victoria: I’ve spoken to billy about this. I’ve begged him to stop digging around in ashland’s life.

Victor: But he hasn’t, and he can’t, because he’s insanely jealous of your relationship with ashland, alright?

Victoria: Well, he says that he’s worried about the children.

Victor: That’s hogwash. Please, sweetheart. It was a giant mistake to invite him to your wedding. He can’t stand the fact that you’re happy with ashland, that you’re with someone who is 10 times the man that billy boy ever was, ever will be.

Victoria: Well, even if that’s true, daddy, he’s hardly a threat.

Victor: Sweetheart, do me a favor. Be careful. The only reason billy boy wants to come to the wedding is to spoil things for you, to make you unhappy.

Billy: I’ll keep your name out of it. You’ll be an anonymous source.

Gaines: What would I have to do?

Billy: Fill in the blanks. Tell me how ashland locke was able to finance the two news stations that he acquired from camilla rhodes’ estate that launched his career. ‘Cause I have a feeling there’s more to the story than a young upstart with the midas touch striking it rich.

Gaines: Just for the sake of argument…

Billy: Mm?

Gaines: …How much would something like that be worth to you?

Billy: How does $100,000 sound?

[ Knock on door ]

Ashland: Gaines!

Phyllis: Ugh. Is there any other information you can give me on this guy? Different names, addresses, anything?

Billy: My dad’s P.I. Turned up some information about him working at that station in new jersey with that woman camilla, and that is what began has meteoric rise in the industry.

Phyllis: Okay, great, because that’s public record. That is easy to find.

Nick: See, I thought that was a non-issue, but it is a good place to start.

Phyllis: Yeah. Alright, looks like the station is in a place called toms river, new jersey.

[ Keys clacking ]

Nick: Can you find out when he started working there?

Phyllis: Yeah. Looks like he was 20 when he started working there.

Nick: So, I guess the big question is, how long before he took that job at the station did he assume his new identity? What are you looking at now?

Phyllis: I’m pulling up a list of deceased males around ashland’s age. I’m going to get a list together, and we will eliminate those who do not fit.

Nick: And that’s how we find out whose identity locke took.

[ Keys clacking ]

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victor: Ashland.

Ashland: Victor. Must be the day for me to run into my future in-laws. Good to see you.

Victor: You look like a man with a lot on his mind.

 

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Ashland: Oh, everything is fine. I was just meeting with one of my attorneys.

Victor: Ah. Nothing urgent, I hope?

Ashland: No, just tying up some loose ends. You know how it is. The only thing I want on my mind the day of my wedding is your daughter.

Victor: Talking about my daughter, I just came back from her office and saw that magnificent portrait on the wall.

Ashland: Captures her essence, huh?

Victor: You actually managed to get merrill londeree to do that painting?

Ashland: I can’t believe you recognized her work.

Victor: Oh, yeah.

Ashland: Well, I’m glad to hear that you have that reaction because I was hoping I didn’t have to dig out the boxing gloves.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Well, who knows?

Victor: Your skill in the ring is part of the legend of victor newman. I hope someday you can teach me the ropes.

Victor: And one day perhaps we shall do that.

Ashland: We haven’t spoken since I called the family together and revealed the events that led to my changing my name, starting my life over with a clean slate. I hope it didn’t change your opinion of me.

Victor: Well, it has, you know? But not in the negative way that one might assume. What you have lived through could have taken your life in a totally different direction. You could have followed in the footsteps of your father and led a life of abuse and pain and addiction. I understand what you went through. And I respect that you pulled yourself out of that mire and became the man that you are today and became as successful a businessman as you have become. And I also appreciate the fact that you opened up to everyone. Must have been painful. So, I will tell you that I am impressed with your background and your life. And I welcome you into our family.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Thank you, sir. I just want you to know it means the world to me.

Victor: Now, you understand, of course, why I had to vet your background.

Ashland: As I told you, I’d have done the same thing if i were in your shoes.

Victor: I also want you to know that I will always, always look out for my daughter.

Ashland: She’s your daughter. I would expect nothing less. And I want you to know this. I will protect her just as fiercely. She’s everything to me.

Victor: Good to know.

Phyllis: Alright.

[ Keys clacking ] We narrowed the field down to three guys, three men around ashland’s age, cause of death, down to every single detail. Psch.

[ Sighs ]

Nick: You know what? That one right there looks very promising.

Phyllis: Yeah. Ashland number two.

Nick: He fits the profile. He best supports our theory.

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay. Are you sure you want to do this?

Nick: I have to.

Phyllis: I know you have to. But I really, really want you to think about it. This could change everything. And I mean your relationship with your father, your relationship with your sister, with ashland himself, the merger, everything.

Nick: I can’t walk away.

Phyllis: I just want you to think about it for a minute.

Nick: Phyllis, we talked about this.

Phyllis: I know we just talked about it. It was conjecture. But, I mean, things are about to get real.

Nick: Well, you said you knew I was doing this for the right reasons.

Phyllis: And you are. I truly believe that. You’re doing it because you love your sister. And — and that’s beautiful. But it just seems like, all the conversations you told me that you’ve had with victoria… she knows something shady is going on and she doesn’t want to admit it.

Nick: Well, if we come up with some dark secret about ashland, I just have to hope she knows it’s coming from the right place because I love her so much and respect her.

[ Sighs ] It’s just… I can’t quit. I got to see this through.

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay. Then we’re gonna do this. One of these three men might have been the real ashland locke.

Nick: And if that’s true, then who is this man that my sister is planning to marry?

Ashland: Well, you have nothing to worry about as far as I’m concerned or my past.

Victor: Well, then, ashland, I suggest we look forward to the future.

Ashland: Nothing would make me happier. This calls for a drink.

Billy: Well, if it isn’t two captains of industry soon to be joined by law. Fil and sil.

Ashland: I beg your pardon?

Billy: Father-in-law, son-in-law. The big day’s fast approaching. Very exciting. A lot of moving parts. It’s funny how forgetting one small little detail can bring the whole thing crashing to the ground. That would be a shame. Good day.

Victor: Billy boy. You cause one second of heartache for my daughter during this happy time… I will crush you.

Billy: Good to know. (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!

[ Knock on door ]

Victoria: Come in.

Phyllis: Hey!

Victoria: Phyllis.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Victoria: What brings you by?

Phyllis: Well, um… oh, my goodness. Wow. That’s a statement.

Victoria: Yes. Well, you’re not the first to react the way. That was the idea. I mean, it was ashland’s idea. He had it commissioned.

Phyllis: Really? Oh. Th-that’s sweet. I bet that didn’t score points with your dad.

Victoria: Oh, actually, he was here earlier, and he loves it.

Phyllis: He does? Wow. Okay. Well, do you have his portrait? Because nick needs a dart board for our rec room.

Victoria: [ Laughs ] That’s funny. Thank you so much for the laugh. I appreciate that. So, what — what are you doing here?

Phyllis: Um, you forgot your bracelet, um, when you were getting your facial at the spa, so…

Victoria: Oh. You delivered it personally? Did my brother put you up to that?

Phyllis: No. Why would he?

Victoria: I was just looking for a logical reason.

Phyllis: Well, I do nice things for people someti–

Victoria: But not for me, no.

Phyllis: Well, I mean, I-i was in the neighborhood. I had errands, and I thought i would just bring it by. Don’t make a big deal about it.

Victoria: I’m trying not to, but that’s two days in a row now that you’ve been kind.

Phyllis: Civil.

Victoria: Almost downright friendly.

Phyllis: Okay, don’t get carried away. “Friendly.” I mean, I have a reputation to uphold.

Victoria: Noted, noted. But I’m definitely sharing this with my brother. I think he’ll be just as surprised as I am.

Phyllis: Why do you say that?

Victoria: Or maybe there’s something else going on here?

Phyllis: Listen, you’re about to get married and you’re nick’s sister and I just want us all to be happy.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Is that your groom?

Victoria: It’s abby.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. I’ll let you take that.

Victoria: Phyllis. Thank you, um, you know, for taking the trouble for this.

Phyllis: My pleasure. See you.

Victoria: Abby. I’m so glad you called.

Billy: Lily, I’m telling you, this gaines guy — he knows exactly what ashland is trying to hide. Well, you saw the look on his face when he saw that I was talking to gaines. And he tries to pawn it off like it’s his east coast attorney. Give me a break. So, here’s the thing. Gaines said that he will give us an exclusive if the price is right. And if he delivers, I promise you it’ll be worth every penny. I’m gonna meet up with him in a little bit to discuss. I’ll call you after? I will. Okay. I love you, too. Bye.

[ Cellphone clatters ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

[ Sighs ] So much for the big italian wedding.

Victoria: You did what?!

Abby: I couldn’t let you get married to a guy without having a heart-to-heart with him first.

Victoria: And? What did you think?

Abby: I can see why you fell in love with him. Ah, his face every time he mentioned your name — he just lit up. And all of those stories about him being a monster — they’re total garbage, okay? He is a sweetheart, and I will defend him to anyone who says different.

Victoria: Have I told you lately that you are the best sister in the entire world? I’m so glad that you got to spend some time with him.

Abby: I am so happy for you, victoria. He’s smart and funny and powerful. You have finally met your equal. You deserve this.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Your carpets are filled with memories.

Nick: Alright, thanks so much. I appreciate it. I will see you shortly. Bye.

[ Door opens ]

Phyllis: Hey, look at you. You’re already packed.

Nick: Jet’s gassed up and ready to go. I’m gonna fly to new jersey and then go down to toms river and follow up on those three deceased young men that we tracked down, one of whom could be the real ashland locke.

Phyllis: Wow, this is all coming together really fast.

Nick: Thanks to you. I never could have done this without you.

Phyllis: Yeah…

Nick: Everything alright?

Phyllis: Yeah. I just keep on thinking about the position that victoria is in. That’s all.

Nick: Look, she’s gonna be better off if she knows the truth, whatever it is.

Phyllis: Yeah. But I don’t know…

Nick: Phyllis —

Phyllis: You’re doing the right thing. I believe you are doing the right thing. You’re a very good brother.

Nick: Thanks. Hopefully I come back with some answers.

Victoria: Thank you so much for calling, abby. Yes, of course we’re gonna get together soon. And give my love to dominic. Okay. Love you. Bye. There you are! I was actually starting to worry until I got a call from abby.

Ashland: Well, what’s the verdict? Did I pass the brother-in-law test?

Victoria: Yes, it seems like you’ve made quite the impression.

Ashland: Ah, well, it was good to get to know your sister better, even though I had to postpone some of my own personal business.

Victoria: Does that personal business include the surprise that you were alluding to earlier? You know, the one that you were arranging some large amount of cash for.

[ Glass thuds]

Gaines: [ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ] Finally.

Victor: Mr. Gaines, i presume? By the expression on your face, I guess you recognize who I am. Let’s talk about you. What are you up to?

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Moses: Sharon’s not making you work, is she? Why are you really backing out of our date?

Victoria: I just heard that nick took the jet to new jersey. I want to know why.

Nikki: Back the hell off, billy, now. And do us all a massive favor. Don’t show your face at the wedding. You’re no longer welcome.

Traci: Oh, Jack, I want to believe that daddy felt that their love was so strong that it could endure anything. That if the circumstances had been different, they would have made it work out. That she would have stayed here and she would have found her happiness here. That their love was just that strong.

Jack: Yes, yes, yes. We all want to believe that, yes.

Traci: I think you do believe that, Jack. And that’s why you never got bitter or jaded after all you’ve had to endure.

Jack: Always seeing a happy ending even when there isn’t one in sight.

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

Jack: You were right about one thing. You had enormous potential.

Sally: Oh. Well, thank you.

Jack: I recognize that part of you wishes you could do it without all the dirty tricks. You’re talented. You just don’t trust it. I know you have a moral compass. You just forget to look at it. We could never have had anything because you didn’t know who you were or who you wanted to be.

Sally: I actually know exactly who Sally Spectra is — the good and the bad. You just couldn’t accept it. And let’s be honest here, did i really do anything worse than Phyllis has done over the years? I mean, I never ran anybody over with my car, so why should she get a free pass?

Both: Because she’s Phyllis.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Billy: Oh, I’m sure johnny’s gonna love the da vinci science museum and the planetarium.

Lily: Oh, yeah, and they’ll both love the water park and leolandia. It’s gonna be a great family trip.

Billy: It is. Very excited about this. I got to be honest, I’m sure even the wedding will be a blasT.

Lily: Yeah, so please be careful how you choose to investigate ashland so you don’t get cordially uninvited.

Billy: Because he will come after us and chanccomm and i will rue the day? I’m not intimidated by him.

Lily: Well, maybe you should be.

Billy: Really? Look what happened with victor. After all the empty threats to come after us for the exposé on adam, it’s been nothing.

Lily: I don’t know if you realize, but victor still holds a very intense grudge against you, and I’m sure if things got ugly with ashland, he’d be on ashland’s side.

Billy: That’s because he sees ashland as a younger version of himself, especially the way he’s been so ingratiating with victor.

Lily: Well, I’m sure he sized victor up and realized that he’d be better as a friend than an enemy.

Billy: Yeah, maybe. See, but I’ve never sucked up to anybody, right? Especially not victor. I feel like that’s what you love best about me.

Lily: I do, I love that about you, but please don’t take any unnecessary risks.

Billy: Me? I would never.

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Billy: Don’t look now, but that’s the guy I was talking about earlier, the one that met with locke.

Lily: Hmm.

Nick: Hey, do you know where I left my clean —

Phyllis: It was personal to jack, and I didn’t want to — i didn’t want to tell you his personal feelings.

Nick: Yeah, okay.

Phyllis: He was drinking, so, you know, there’s that. We do and say a lot of things we don’t mean when we’ve had a few.

Nick: Yeah, he did mention that.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. So I didn’t want to say anything. It has nothing to do with me, really. It has nothing to do with us. You know? It caught me off guard, to be honest with you.

Nick: I know you two have bonded over missing summer and kyle since they moved to italy. Are you sure you didn’t know how he felt?

Phyllis: How would I know how he felt?

Nick: I don’t know. I guess I just assumed you understood how unforgettable you are, you know? You’re not somebody that you just get over very easily.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, for sure, I’m not someone you get over easily. I’m glad it’s out in the open.

Nick: Yeah, jack mentioned that he felt badly that he left me in the dark.

Phyllis: Well, that’s nice of him. He’s a gentleman.

Nick: That he is.

Phyllis: This has nothing to do with us. You know that. I mean, this hasn’t changed anything with us. Right?

Nick: No. I mean, I’m — I’m not sure —

Phyllis: You’re not sure? What? We’re solid.

Nick: I know, I know. I just think — that’s all.

Phyllis: Don’t think. Stop thinkinG.

Nick: Okay.

Phyllis: Stop thinking. I know how to get you to stop thinking. I know how to make you sure that our relationship is solid, okay?

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: Half a million in cash. Well, you’re gonna like this even less. I need it in an hour from now in hanD. Yes, it’s excessive. I freely admit it. I — I need the funds for an impulse purchase — something rare and exquisite that I want to buy for my beautiful bride. Look — well, the seller is — is old-fashioned and very stubborn, and he insists on us currency. Listen, douglas, you know, as i get older and I care less and less about the irs and jumping through those god-awful hoops. Yeah. Look, who– whoever said “you can’t take it with you” knew what they were talking about. Now, I know that you — listen to me — I know that you have a way to come up with those funds, to find that cash. That’s why I keep you around, okay? You’re a very clever fellow. Text me when it’s ready, won’t you? Thank you.

Victoria: I guess I wasn’t supposed to hear that.

Itchy?

Ashland: Unfortunate timing.

Victoria: Apparently. That call of yours sounded quite mysterious. Delivering bundles of cash in the middle of the day — does anybody do that anymore?

Ashland: Well, I should’ve been more clandestine. I’d hate to think that I spoiled the surprise. Would you do me a big favor and pretend that you didn’t hear whatever it is that you heard?

Victoria: Mm, I’m not sure i can do that. I’m so curious now.

Ashland: Come on, just make the effort for me.

Victoria: For how long? Is this another wedding present? Are you telling me that I’m gonna have to wait till we get to italy to find out?

Ashland: You are made of tough stuff, and I know you can stand the suspense. And I also know that you’re expecting your mother to arrive shortly, so I will make myself scarce and give you a chance to talk.

Victoria: I appreciate that.

Ashland: And I also know that it’s been a while since i revealed I had changed my name when I was younger, and I would think that — and hope — nikki had time to adjust to that idea. But I also understand that she probably has her concerns, as any loving mother would.

Victoria: Well, I wouldn’t know. We haven’t discussed it. In the end, it doesn’t matter because I make my own decisions.

Ashland: I just love your independent side. I also know how important it is for you to have your mother’s support and planning this wedding together with her. It means it’s important to me, too.

Victoria: Listen to me. I’m aware that the reason that you came forward with the truth is because you’re protecting my relationship with my family, and that meant a lot to me, but how my parents react, that’s up to them.

Ashland: Unfortunately, that’s true, and that’s rather wise for you to recognize.

Victoria: Well, I learned a long time ago you can’t control what people think or do or feel.

Ashland: You know, most people go through their entire life and never figure that out. You are way ahead of the game.

Victoria: Well, I have my moments.

Ashland: Indeed you do. Now, no more philosophizing for the morning. Can you join me for lunch later? Assuming that you are free.

Victoria: Well, that depends on if you’re gonna tell me what you’re up to or not.

Ashland: Not a chance.

Nick: Hey.

Phyllis: Hey. Good morning again.

Nick: You took off without saying goodbye.

Phyllis: Uh, yeah. I got a call that some controller thing in the freezer wasn’t working, and so I had to call the appliance company and we’re on their schedule.

Nick: Nice going.

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay, so you have my undivided attention.

Nick: I’m just glad that, you know, we’re okay.

Phyllis: Yeah. We are okay. We’re better than okay.

Nick: Put the whole jack thing aside.

Phyllis: Yeah, I think we proved that last night. Um, by the way, you really outdid yourself, and that’s saying a lot.

Nick: You’re welcome.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Um, I just, you know, wanted to say one last thing about jack. That’s all. Just one last thing. I just — my heart aches for him, that’s all. I know he is lonely and alone, but I think that he will find the perfect match for him, like we’ve done. Don’t you think — don’t you think so?

Nick: Yes, of course.

Lily: He looks very ordinary. You made him sound like he was so sinister.

Billy: They were definitely confronting each other. It was intense. They were leaning in, trying not to make a scene. Now he’s just having coffee.

Lily: Well, maybe it was a business deal gone sour.

Billy: Lily, we’ve both been in negotiations with ashland locke. He was charming. Believe me, this was different.

Lily: Different how?

Billy: Ashland does not like that man. That much was clear.

Lily: Okay, well, you are very good at reading people.

Billy: I didn’t need a special skill for this. They’re adversaries of some kind, which means our new friend over there might be very useful for us.

Lily: Our new friend? You don’t even know his name.

Billy: We need to find out who he is.

Lily: I’m on it. Hi. Could I get a menu? We wanted to order some food to go. Thank you. Thanks so much. His name is jesse gaines — g-a-I-n-e-S. (Upbeat pop music throughout)

your doctor gives you a

prescription. Let’s get you on some antibiotics right away.

Lily: You know what? Something came up, actually, so we’re not gonna order anything. I’m sorry. Thank you.

Billy: Jesse gaines. Wouldn’t have imagined it would be such a common name. There’s a whole slew of them.

Lily: Really?

Billy: Yeah. Some of these are obituaries. We can cross those off the list. This one is not the right age. Wait a second. This could be our guy. Jesse gaines jr., From toms river, new jersey.

Lily: Wait, toms river, new jersey. Wait, that’s where the two stations that locke acquired when he first started are located.

Billy: Exactly. Our guy seems younger than ashland.

Lily: Maybe he works at one of the stations, and locke still owns them?

Billy: Could be.

Phyllis: Um, yeah, you know, we need to put this jack thing to bed. I just want to ask one more question.

Nick: Alright, shoot.

Phyllis: I just… you know, jack told me that he didn’t want you to know about his feelings, and I understand why he would want to tell you because he wouldn’t want a dirty little secret between us, but what I don’t get is, you know, why didn’t he just come to me and say, “hey, you can tell nick” or give me a heads up that he was going to you. You know, instead he just bared his soul to you without letting me know at all.

Nick: Maybe jack felt like he owed it to me, you know? He’d kept it hidden, every time our relationship would come up, and also, he had a vested interest in the outcome.

Phyllis: Our relationship has come up when you’ve been talking to jack? Oh. Well, I’m sure when you said that we’re doing really well and we’re so happy, that didn’t go over well with him.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I think jack just felt more comfortable with everything out in the open.

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay. I don’t think we should talk about this anymore. I’m ready to put this to bed for good.

Nick: Same.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Nick: Yeah, cool. Besides, I think I have other ideas on how I’d like to spend the morning.

Phyllis: Do you?

Nick: Yeah. If you’re not too busy, could you meet me at the park?

Phyllis: Oh. Really? A picnic?

Nick: You’ll see when you get there. Just, you know, some comfortable clothes and definitely shoes.

Phyllis: Okay. Yes, sir.

Nick: I’ll see you there. I’m gonna go get some things set up.

Ashland: I have been waiting for this. What a perfect time for it to arrive.

Victoria: What is it?

Ashland: Well, consider it a combination congratulatory merger gift and an early wedding present.

Victoria: That is so sweet of you, but you shouldn’t have gotten me anything.

Ashland: Oh, you need this.

Victoria: Okay, well, now I’m very curious.

Ashland: Well, see for yourself. I know that your father’s portrait hovered over the ceo’s office for many years. I thought it was time that it was replaced. This painting should take its rightful spot in your office to exemplify the changing of the guard.

Victoria: I love it. It’s just beautiful. I — I don’t know what to say.

[ Sighs ] I-is this a londeree? A meryl londeree?

Ashland: Indeed it is.

Victoria: How did you get her to do it?

Ashland: It wasn’t easy to convince her, but you deserve it. There is nothing I won’t do to prove my love for you.

Victoria: You already have, again and again.

Nikki: Now, before we start talking about the wedding, i wanted to — oh, my goodness.

Victoria: It’s stunning, isn’t it? I was blown away when ashland presented it to me.

Nikki: Oh. It’s beautiful. He has exquisite taste.

Victoria: Oh, he is so thoughtful.

Nikki: Yes, indeed. I wonder what your father’s going to think of it. I mean, it makes quite a statement.

Victoria: As it should. Newman is mine now. Most bladder leak pads were similar.

Phyllis: Hey. Um, you said comfortable clothes. Are we working out?

Nick: We’re having football practice. Well, practice for the practice.

Phyllis: Uh, really?

Nick: Yeah. I signed up to coach christian’s flag football team, and I think you should be my assistant.

Phyllis: Uh, you’re serious?

Nick: Totally serious. Christian’s so excited he’s finally old enough to play football, and I love this sport, and I think you should do it with me. We both really want you to be involved.

Phyllis: Christian said that?

Nick: Of course. Don’t be surprised. He adores you almost as much as I do.

Phyllis: Oh. Well, that’s sweet. I mean, the feeling is mutual, but, you know, I was gonna come to the games and cheer you guys on.

Nick: Yeah, I know, but this takes it to the next level.

Phyllis: Wow. This is a commitment. Yeah. Oh. You know I know nothing about football.

Nick: It’s okay. I know everything. It’s just skills and drills and, you know, conditioning, and I’m gonna put you through the whole thing and you’ll see that it’s great. And I just need to know that you’re willing to try, and you’ll see how easy it is.

Phyllis: Okay, I’ll try. I mean, hey, it’s a nice day. We’ll get some exercise, right?

Nick: You got it. Let’s go! Alright!

Phyllis: Oh.

Nick: We’re gonna work on that part. You just — you want to —

Phyllis: Yeah. That’s — great.

Nikki: So, for whatever reason, the inspectors are dragging their feet and we can’t retool the factory until we get the sign-off.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Which means more delays. Damn it, I was hoping we could have this done before we went to italy.

Nikki: Honey, it’s all being handled. Don’t worry another moment about it. Now, let’s move to wedding talk.

Victoria: We should be in the home stretch as far as planning, right?

Nikki: The new landscaping has been installed at the palazzo. Do you like it?

Victoria: It’s gorgeous. I love it. Oh, my gosh, it’s outstanding. They really outdid themselves.

Nikki: Yeah, victor and i were very pleased.

Victoria: Me, too. And it’s even so late in the season.

[ Sighs ] It’s really happening, isn’t it? My wedding. Exactly the way I envisioned it.

Nikki: Did you have some reason to doubt that it would? Or should?

Gaines: Jesse gaines, suite 405. Would you see if I have any messages?

Billy: Jesse gaines — that is a blast from the past.

Gaines: Excuse me?

Billy: Oh, I apologize. I used to know someone named jesse gaines. Actually, my father did. I think they worked together. Maybe he was a lawyer back in jersey.

Gaines: Well, that may have been my father.

Billy: No way! Get out of here.

Gaines: I’m jesse gaines jr. I took over the practice when he died.

Billy: Oh, I’m sorry to hear about your loss. We have that in common, actually. I took over my father’s business for a while, as well. I’m billy abbott. John abbott was my father. He was the founder of jabot cosmetics. I don’t know if you’ve heard of us.

Gaines: Sure. Who hasn’t?

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Gaines: Well, I wonder what would’ve led our parents to do business together.

Billy: Yeah, that’s funny to think about. I don’t know. What do you think?

Gaines: My father wasn’t in the cosmetics industry, so…

Billy: Hmm. Well, new jersey, manufacturing of fragrances back in the day. Could’ve been that.

Gaines: Yeah, that’s all north and west of where we were from. Different part of the state altogether.

Billy: What about advertising? Newspapers, magazines, maybe tv stations by chance?

Gaines: As a matter of fact, he did. Couple of news stations.

Billy: Oh, wow. There you go. Very cool.

Gaines: You know, it is amazing that you would remember my father’s name after so many years. You must have been very young. He stopped working a long time ago.

Billy: Well, it’s a steel trap. Information gets in, doesn’t get out. It’s kind of a cruse. So what brings you into town?

Gaines: Personal matter.

Lily: Ashland, hey. So good to see you.

Billy: Oh. That’s why you’re here, to meet with ashland locke. What’s the #1 retinol brand

“The young and the restless”

will continue. (Upbeat pop music throughout)

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] I have no doubts about this wedding. None, as in zero. I think you may be the one projecting.

Nikki: No, darling. It was just a little unsettling to learn about the monumental secret that ashland was keeping. And not so much the secret itself. As you pointed out, both victor and I are survivors of our fathers’ cruelty, so I can certainly relate to that.

Victoria: Ashland deserves more than that from us. His childhood was hell. When I think about his resilience and the resourcefulness that it took for him to overcome that, it makes me respect him all the more.

Nikki: It doesn’t bother you that it was so easy for him to lie to you?

Victoria: He already explained all of that. He has been telling this invented version of his early life for so long that it’s just — it started to feel real to him. It’s a coping mechanism, and I’m not gonna judge him for that. In fact, I’m glad that he told me the truth because now ashland knows that he can tell me anything. And you know what? It really bugs me that he had to confess to everyone. That should’ve been his decision, freely made.

Nikki: Do you think he ever would have told you on his own?

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] Well, I guess we’re never gonna know now since billy backed him into a corner.

Lily: So, how are the wedding plans going?

Ashland: Just fine, thank you.

Gaines: As I said, I’m here for personal reasons.

Billy: You got family in town?

Gaines: None that I know of.

Ashland: Would you please excuse me?

Lily: Yeah, sure.

Billy: Well, if you haven’t been to genoa city, welcome. It’s beautiful this time of year.

Ashland: I see you’ve met one of my lawyers.

Billy: Lawyer? That’s very interesting.

Ashland: I have many, of course. In town to handle some of the merger issues with locke communications group subdivisions.

Billy: Well, I’m sure you’ll be very happy to hear that jesse here takes the lawyer-client confidentiality very serious. He didn’t say a thing. In fact, we were talking about jesse gaines senior. Did some legal work for some news stations in jersey. Assuming the same stations that you own. Of course, this was a while ago, before camilla rhodes passed away. Thinking about it now, maybe the two of you worked together with her. Is that true? Do you — do you know jesse’s father?

Ashland: Jesse’s father was a good man, and we all miss him very much. Why don’t you and I go find someplace quieter where we can get some work accomplished?

Gaines: You got it.

Billy: Definitely something going on there.

Nick: Coming at you!

Phyllis: Oh! Oh. Okay.

Nick: That’s alright.

Phyllis: Okay.

Nick: You’ve gotten so much better.

Phyllis: Alright.

Nick: I mean, you are really getting the hang of it and you’re a natural.

Phyllis: Yeah, a thirsty natural.

Nick: I got you covered. Come on, let’s go.

Phyllis: Okay.

Nick: Got you right here.

Phyllis: Oh, you’re prepared with water.

Nick: Yep.

Phyllis: Okay.

Nick: This is gonna be great. Kids at this age, they’re like little sponges. They just take everything in and soak it all up.

Phyllis: Uh-huh.

Nick: And you should love this. Lot of parents that you know already involved.

Phyllis: Oh.

Nick: Um, the nelsons, julia sweetwater.

Phyllis: Oh. I know her.

Nick: Yeah, okay. Who’s the guy — the dad, he — he’s always saying the lame dad jokes and you think he’s hysterical?

Phyllis: You?

Nick: I walked right into that, didn’t I?

Phyllis: Uh-huh, yeah.

Nick: Yeah. No, mark mason.

Phyllis: Oh, mark.

Nick: “The mase.”

Phyllis: He signed up? Oh.

Nick: Yeah, yeah. You know what I was thinking, too? We could have, like, a — like, a pizza party, just get everyone involved, and the parents and the kids and get them all fired up. That kind of comradery is everything in youth sports.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah. It’s also good for someone who wants a distraction from his sister’s upcoming marriage, right? We didn’t finish talking about that, but I’m assuming that you’re not going to pursue digging into ashland’s past. You just want to avoid upsetting your sister.

Nick: I mean, it’s more to it than that, you know? Um…you weren’t there when ashland was telling the story of his crappy childhood and his abusive dad and his mother who wouldn’t protect him, and, i mean, there was a lot of sadness in his voice.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Nick: Yeah.

Phyllis: I’m sure it reminded you of your dad’s history with his dad.

Nick: Yeah, it reminded me of when we confronted his dad, albert miller. That was one of the most awful, terrible human beings I’ve ever met. He said just crazy things to my dad. I felt so bad for him. It’s one of the few times in my life I’ve seen my dad just fall apart and cry like that. I don’t know, if — if that was true and ashland’s childhood was like that, I can understand why he would do everything he could to get away from that, you know? Especially now. I mean, I don’t want to make him relive this story and retell it while he’s going through chemo.

Phyllis: On the other hand?

Nick: On the other hand, i did talk to rey about it and kind of got his take.

Phyllis: You did? I’m surprised you would talk to rey.

Nick: He’s my friend, you know? I trust him. I know he would be discreet.

Phyllis: Mm. Okay, well, what did he say?

Nick: He said if there was nothing more to the story than ashland just being a scared kid who wanted to get away from his parents, then we should’ve found out what his real name is by now.

Phyllis: Yeah. What was his reasoning for that?

Nick: Well, changing your name is a legal process. You know, it requires filing paperwork and putting an ad out in the newspaper, and, you know, the fact that we haven’t been able to find any record of that means that ashland probably didn’t use the regular channels to make that happen, and, you know, that may not be anything, but I can’t stop thinking about that and what that could mean. I brought in ensure max protein,

Nick: Say hut!

Phyllis: Oh. Oh!

Nick: Alright!

Phyllis: Yay!

Nick: You have mastered the skill in no time.

Phyllis: And the crowd went wild.

Nick: It’s all about fundamentals, and working on that in practice, you are going to be an amazing coach.

Phyllis: You got to know this is not gonna happen. You know, right? Wha– ohh, nick. I’m running the grand phoenix. I mean, we have events scheduled until after the holidays. I — I got to be there. I can’t do this. I mean, I’m gonna let those kids down. I mean, what kind of message does that send, you know? Besides, I got to stay in my lane. This is —

Nick: You have everything it takes to be a great coach. You are tough, you have perseverance. I mean, you’re competitive. Look at the way you play video games.

Phyllis: Well, that’s the thing. I mean, don’t you think I’m a little too competitive? I mean, I don’t want to get in a little boy’s face, you know, make him cry. That would be horrible. Really, really bad. I would red-carded and thrown out of the game and…

Nick: That’s soccer.

Phyllis: Okay, see? I don’t even know that. I don’t even know that.

[ Sighs ] I will come to every game, i promise you. Every single game, I will bring incredible snacks and great drinks, and I will cheer you on. I will cheer you on, but it’s just — I — it’S…

Nick: Yeah, you’re busy. I get it. It’s cool.

Phyllis: Well, I mean, no, it’s not like that. I mean… I’m sorry.

Nick: It’s just when kids are this young, you got to — you got to cherish every moment and, I don’t know, I was kind of thinking, too, it’d be like a cool family thing, you know?

Phyllis: Well, why don’t you do a father-son thing, and then we can figure some family thing to do just the three of us, something else. Yeah? Okay, but listen, [Sighs] If you need a super-sleuth to find out the real identity to a certain billionaire, I’m your girl.

Nick: Alright. Let’s just head back.

Phyllis: Oh.

Victoria: Billy really makes me so mad sometimes. Like he has the right to stick his nose into my private business whenever he wants.

Nikki: Alright, forget about him for a minute. I am more concerned that you are making decisions for the right reasons, not because of your sympathy for ashland and what he’s been through or your anger for billy and what he’s put you through. But either one of those emotions is perfectly valid.

Victoria: Well, if that’s why you think I’m getting married, well, it’s no wonder that you’re worried, mother. Because it’s not the case. I’m marrying ashland because i love him. He makes me happy. He understands me in a way that no one does. Who else would have thought of it? He didn’t say it when he gave it to me, but obviously ashland is thinking about what’s gonna happen if he doesn’t survive his cancer. He wanted to give me something that would be here every day to remind me of how he saw me. And he hasn’t stopped there.

Nikki: No?

Victoria: No, he’s planning another surprise, something very big and extravagant. I’m not supposed to know about it, but I heard him earlier on the phone when I walked in.

Nikki: You know, that reminds me of your father, especially when we first got together. I mean, he got such a kick out of dazzling me with his larger-than-life gestures. He loved more than anything to see the look on my face when he surprised me.

Victoria: I remember you telling the stories. I just — I hope that ashland has fun with it because I’d much rather him be focused on — on this than — than his illness or whatever crap billy keeps trying to dig uP.

Ashland: I spoke to my banker. Half a million dollars, that’s all I could get for you today in cash. I will make monthly payments of the same amount for the next five months, and you’ll get your $3 million, and then you and i are done.

Gaines: A man like you, a man of your resources doesn’t have access to his funds. You expect me to believe that?

Ashland: It’s not about access. I don’t want to call undue attention to our arrangement. That’s the point of blackmail, to keep it quiet.

Gaines: What if you die next week?

Ashland: The outpouring of your concern is overwhelming. But don’t fret. I’m gonna live long enough to make you a wealthy man.

Gaines: You know, I would think that you would move heaven and earth if it meant you could be done with me once and for all. It’s obvious that billy abbott is suspicious. He wrote that exposé on adam newman, and I’m sure he’d love to give you the same treatment. If he found out exactly how you managed to buy camilla’s stations and that you’ve been paying me off all these years to keep it a secret, that’d make a pretty juicy story, wouldn’t it? Super emma just about sleeps in her cape.

Nikki: Darling, I hope you know I will be there for you no matter what you choose to do.

Victoria: Is that your subtle way of saying that you think I’m making a mistake going through with this wedding?

Nikki: [ Sighs ] I don’t think this is a situation where there are right or wrong answers. I think you just need to trust your instincts and trust your strength to get through whatever happens.

Victoria: Do you know what i can trust, too? Ashland’s love for me. I know I may not know the name that he was born with, but that doesn’t matter to me. I know what’s in his heart.

Ashland: You’re right about one thing. I can’t wait to end all contact with you.

Gaines: It’s agreed, then. I’ll take my down payment today, but I want the other $2.5 million within three days, or I go to ol’ billy and I sell the story to chanccomm.

Phyllis: Ah, this is amazing. You’re a natural. You have the fundamentals, for sure. Oh.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: What happened? What happened?

Nick: Oh, I needed a break.

Phyllis: A break?

[ Laughs ] What? Are you mad at me? Are you made because I don’t want to be an assistant coach?

Nick: No, it’s fine.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Nick: It’s fine.

Phyllis: Well, what’s going on? ‘Cause your head is not in the game, champ.

Nick: Did you mean what you said earlier when you said you would help me find out who ashland locke really is?

Phyllis: Yeah. Definitely. Do you want me to go ahead with looking into his past? I mean, you want me to take a whack at this? I’d be happy to.

Nick: Why? Why would you want to help me?

Phyllis: Well, because you’re yoU. And this matters to you. And you’re not gonna let it go until you get some answers.

Nick: Well, I’d be taking a pretty big risk, you know, of royally ticking off my sister, but I think it’s worth it. I cannot shake this feeling that ashland is hiding more than just his name, you know? Probably a lot more.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Listen, if you’re wrong, if you’re wrong, victoria never has to know. Okay? And everything will be fine. It’ll put your mind at ease.

Nick: Well, if we do find something, you know, something major, I want to make sure victoria knows. Then she can do whatever she wants with that information.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. I agree. I mean, it’s not like billy. I mean, you don’t have a grudge or a vendetta. You know, you just want to protect your sister. You just care about your family. And I’m happy to help.

Nick: Mm. Alright. Let’s do it. Let’s find out who ashland locke was and how he became ashland locke.

Amanda: That was quite a welcome-to-the-neighborhood.

Devon: I am a welcoming committee of one, you know. The celebration doesn’t have to stop. We can, uh, have some more of the wine that I got for us and put on this very rare Miles Davis album that I think you’re really gonna love.

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

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay. I’ll get on that. Thank you. [ Sighs ] Oh! To what do I owe this divine honor?

Victoria: I’m here for the spa, not you.

Phyllis: Well, since i hand-picked every single treatment on the list, I’m gonna take that as a compliment.

Victoria: Why am I not surprised?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Traci: Jack! Oh, jack!

Traci: Ciao, mio fratello jack.

Jack: Ciao, yourself.

Traci: [ Laughs ] I thought my work-in-progress italian was gonna get your attention.

Jack: Music to my ears.

Traci: Listen, I’m on my way to see abby and the baby. Would you to come along with me?

Jack: It’s kind of late, isn’t it?

Traci: It is, but the baby doesn’t know that, and apparently, he is wide awake. So do you want to come?

Jack: You know what? I-I — give them my best. I think I’ll stay here. I got a few things I got to do.

Traci: Like…staring at a wedding invitation?

Jack: Maybe.

Traci: Oh. You know, staring at it isn’t gonna get you to milan any sooner.

Jack: A fella can dream, can’t he?

Traci: [ Chuckles ] You okay?

Jack: Yeah, yeah, I’m maybe a little tired. Otherwise, I’m great.

Traci: Is that why you’re transfixed by kyle and summer’s invitation?

Jack: It was addressed to “jack and guest,” and, of course, I’m going solo.

Traci: I see.

Jack: This is the umpteenth wedding I have gone to alone, traci.

Traci: [ Sighs ] So that’s where we are.

Jack: “That’s where we are,” what does that mean?

Traci: Well, it’s just that I’ve seen this before. I mean, it’s a little bit of a cycle. You fall in love, something goes wrong, you swear off love, and then you get a little bit lonely and you start yearning for romance.

Jack: Yearning, huh?

Traci: [ Laughs ] Yes. It’s just part of the pattern. And it just happens you’re at the lowest point right now, and you have been since…

Jack: Go ahead, you can say it. Since mother died.

Traci: But I know that you are going to find someone.

Jack: Yeah.

Traci: The universe would never let somebody with a heart as big as yours be alone for too long.

Jack: That’s my sister traci, the cock-eyed optimist.

Traci: [ Laughs ] Yes, that’s me. So, why don’t you go upstairs, go to bed, and get some rest?

Jack: I wish I could. I’m trying to stay up late so that I can call kyle in italy. He starts his day with a workout, and I’m trying to get him before he gets on the treadmill because I can’t stand talking to him when he’s huffing and puffing.

Traci: [ Laughs ] Okay. Send my love, won’t you? And tell them I can’t wait to see him and summer and harrison.

Jack: Will do. Love you, sis. My son is getting married, and i am still single.

[ Sighs ]

Dina: They grow up so fast, don’t they?

Jack: Hello, mother.

Jack: I’ve been thinking of you.

Dina: I know.

[ Chuckles ]

Jack: You should be at this wedding. It’s a family event.

Dina: Who says I won’t be there? No one’s ever stopped dina abbott mergeron from crashing a good party. I will have a bird’s-eye view, i promise you.

Jack: I should’ve known nothing could ever stop you.

Dina: Of course not. That’s my grandson getting married.

Jack: You’re right, you know. They grow up so fast.

Dina: That’s why you can’t waste a moment, not like I did. You must cherish every second. And, jackie, you must always follow your heart.

Abby: Look who it is, dominic! It’s our favorite great-uncle, isn’t it? The patriarch of the long branch of your family tree.

[ Gasps ] I wish nothing more than for you to grow up and have a heart as big as your uncle jack’S. Is olay better than your clean beauty?

Abby: Isn’t it miraculous, uncle jack?

Jack: Yes, it is. And you are such a natural.

Abby: I never knew I could love someone this much.

Jack: And he loves you.

Traci: It’s the first love we ever experience — the love of a child and their parent. It’s so innocent and pure and untainted by heartbreak. I mean, look at them, you can feel the love.

Jack: It’s a miracle. And we live our lives as parents trying to live up to promises we made at moments like that. “I will always keep you safe. I will never let anyone harm you. I will never let anyone break your heart.”

Traci: Jack, those are promises you can never keep. No matter how hard you try, you can never protect your children from everything. And heartbreak, it’s — it’s just a part of the human experience. It helps us learn to overcome pain and move on.

Jack: Is that the lesson? I’m supposed to learn to move on?

Traci: Jack, of course not. You’ve had your heart broken over and over.

Jack: Well, not that many times.

Traci: And yet you keep coming back for more. You love to be in love.

Jack: You make that sound like a bad thing. Isn’t that what everyone wants? To love and be loved?

Traci: But you’ve elevated it to an art form.

Jack: It was never my choice. I just never found the right person.

Traci: Really? After all these years? Are you sure?

[ Heart beating ]

Jack: Can you hear that? Traci? Abby?

Phyllis: Psst.

Jack: Phyllis?

[ “Cherry moon” plays ] Mother, they’re playing your song.

Traci: [ Humming ] Mother and daddy loved that song, didn’t they, jack?

Jack: Oh, boy, did they. Those are wonderful memories.

Traci: Oh, yes, I can still remember them coming home from the club, still dancing, still laughing. How did they seem so happy, but they really weren’t? I mean, was it all a lie or a façade? Or did something change?

Jack: I guess that’s one of those questions we’ll never know the answer to. Romance is best left to the poets.

Traci: Or the novelists.

Jack: Or the novelists, that’s right. You’re — you’re writing the book on dina.

Traci: I’m looking for answers, jack, just like you.

Jack: Keep looking. Don’t give up. Answers sometimes come from where you least expect them, just like love.

Traci: Love. When it comes to love, you have always been the eternal optimist, haven’t you?

Jack: Well, maybe it’s all just a façade. Like the one mom and dad showed us when they were falling apart inside.

Traci: Do you believe that, jack? Do you believe that’s what happened? That daddy knew on some level that she was inevitably gonna leave us, that she was gonna take off and follow her own heart?

Jack: He had to know how unhappy she was somehow.

Traci: So what changed? Did their love change or did they?

Jack: Another question for the ages.

Traci: Oh, jack, I want to believe that daddy felt that their love was so strong that it could endure anything. That if the circumstances had been different, they would have made it work out. That she would have stayed here and she would have found her happiness here. That their love was just that strong.

Jack: Yes, yes, yes. We all want to believe that, yes.

Traci: I think you do believe that, jack. And that’s why you never got bitter or jaded after all you’ve had to endure.

Jack: Always seeing a happy ending even when there isn’t one in sight.

Traci: I’m guilty, but I’m also right about you believing in love. Even for yourself. Especially for yourself.

Jack: Well, I haven’t given up on the concept.

Traci: No, of course you haven’T. If you had, then you wouldn’t still be yearning to find love. And I know you are. I can see it in your face.

lavender scented tube

Nick: You just couldn’t let it go, could you? Did you not think that I would find out what was going on?

Jack: Nothing is going on!

Nick: Your own sister knows. What’d she call it, “yearning”?

Jack: But traci was mistaken.

Nick: No, she is polite. Yearning is the nice way to put it. We both know what you’re doing is darker and more depraved.

Jack: Okay, what exactly do you think is going on?

Nick: It’s not what! It’s who. It’s phyllis. How could you do this?

[ Heart beating ]

Jack: I haven’t done anything.

Nick: Our relationship was finally in a good place. We’ve got some balance and we are in love.

Jack: That’s great. I’m happy for you.

Nick: No, no. And you’re doing everything you can to ruin it, jack. I trust you. I respect you. What are you doing?

Jack: You did something far worse years ago, when you went after phyllis while I was still with her.

Nick: Oh, well, does this justify your actions then?

Jack: What actions? I haven’t done anything.

Nick: You put all these thoughts in her head. And now everything’s changed because you’re standing between us.

Jack: That was never my intention. No, I was not making a play for phyllis.

Nick: Really? Then what are you doing?

Jack: I was trying to be honest about my feelings. You’re wrong when you say everything has changed.

Nick: No, you heard me talking about my relationship with phyllis, how I was concerned that we are fated for a disaster again.

Jack: That’s right. I remember. And you told me someone’s words — not mine — had put doubts in your head. You’re a strong, self-assured man, nick. No way that could happen unless you harbored some of those doubts inside.

Nick: You’re doing everything you can to cast blame away from yourself. Why would you tell phyllis that you’re madly in love with her when you know that we are together right now? What is wrong with you?!

Phyllis: Nick, stop!

Nick: Why? I’m not saying anything that jack doesn’t know already.

Phyllis: Jack is not the reason for everything that’s going on between us.

Nick: What is going on between us?

Phyllis: Do I need to say it out loud?

Jack: Wait, wait, wait. Don’t — don’t say anything rash. Look, I may be at fault here. I may have crossed the line in telling you what I was feeling. I did not mean any harm. The last thing I want to do was cause trouble between the two of you.

Phyllis: You’re not responsible for any of this.

Jack: Listen to me, phyllis. These feelings that I have had for a very long time, I should have kept them buried. I had no right to blurt them out to you or anyone else. I had no business taking all of my issues and dumping them in your lap.

Phyllis: No, it was fine. It was the purest kind of honesty. It was beautiful. Unbridled. You were telling me your truth.

Jack: Nick, I’m sorry. You were right. I could never let her go. I never moved on.

Sally: I couldn’t agree more. You should’ve let go of phyllis a long time ago, jack.

Jack: Sally.

Sally: We could’ve had a chance if you had only moved on. I promise that I would have loved you way more than your ex ever did. What can I du with less asthma?

Sally: You made a huge mistake, jack. Legendary screw-up. You could have had this. But instead, you made a play for an old, painful error in judgment named phyllis.

Jack: I didn’t make a play for her.

Sally: We had so much potential. Off the charts. We could have been genoa city’s power couple.

Jack: I think you’re misremembering what happened between us.

Sally: I have total recall. I know exactly what we had. It was magical. You blew it.

Jack: I — it’s my fault?

Sally: I may have made a mistake or two, but mostly, you’re to blame because i genuinely cared about you, jack, and part of me still does. But at least I can recognize when it’s time to give up and walk away. You need to shut the door on your past or you’re gonna miss even more opportunities in life.

Jack: Wow, you’re good. You actually had me questioning whether this was my fault, whether I ruined any chance of having a life with you. No, it was you. It was your lies, your deceptions, your insistence on sabotaging my son’s relationship.

Sally: That’s not fair.

Nick: Remember summer?

Sally: Ha, another country heard from. Yes, summer. I am so sorry that I got her that fabulous job in that very glamorous city. What a tragedy. I mean, how will she ever survive?

Jack: You were right about one thing. You had enormous potential.

Sally: Oh. Well, thank you.

Jack: I recognize that part of you wishes you could do it without all the dirty tricks. You’re talented. You just don’t trust it. I know you have a moral compass. You just forget to look at it. We could never have had anything because you didn’t know who you were or who you wanted to be.

Sally: I actually know exactly who sally spectra is — the good and the bad. You just couldn’t accept it. And let’s be honest here, did i really do anything worse than phyllis has done over the years? I mean, I never ran anybody over with my car, so why should she get a free pass?

Both: Because she’s phyllis.

Sally: Lovely. She has her own fan club. And I’m so sorry that you couldn’t have forgiven me the way that you forgave phyllis countless times before.

Jack: I am sorry.

Sally: We could’ve had fun, jack.

Nick: Fun and games don’t last forever, huh, jack?

Jack: Yeah, yeah, I guess — I guess that’s true.

Sally: And now you don’t have a date to the wedding. Maybe you should ask phyllis.

Nick: Don’t even think about it.

Jack: Nikki! What the hell are you doing?

Nikki: Taking away the bottle won’t stop anybody from drinking, jack. You know that.

Jack: I also know I can stop you for the moment. Why are you drinking in the first place? What has victor done now?

Nikki: It’s not victor. I don’t know why you would assume that. You have no understanding of our relationship. Victor and I have been happy for years. Through all the ups and downs, we have each other. What do you have? Nothing.

Jack: I have plenty of things that bring me happiness.

Nikki: Oh, yeah, what? Name one.

Jack: My grandson, harrison.

Nikki: [ Scoffs ] Who lives in italy. Try agaiN.

Jack: Why are you attacking me?

Nikki: Because you deserve it.

Jack: Because I said something negative about victor?

Nikki: No, for being jealous of victor and me. You always have been. Victor and I have love and devotion, and that’s what you want, isn’t it? Isn’t it?! You’ve always wanted that, and that is why you hurt nicholas.

Jack: Wait, wait, what are you talking about now?

Nikki: Phyllis broke his heart again, thanks to you. And I don’t like seeing my son in pain.

Jack: Whoa, wait, that is why you’re drinking?

Nikki: Nicholas has had his heart crushed over and over. How could you, of all people, do that to him?

Jack: Has everyone gone mad? All I did was tell phyllis she was still in my heart.

Nikki: Ah! And that you have never stopped loving her.

Jack: Why would that make any difference for nick and phyllis? Why does what I feel matter at all? Look, they’ve found happiness. I’m happy for them. I care about them. I would never do anything to jeopardize their relationship.

Nikki: Are you sure about that?

[ Heart beating ] Here’s a good halloween trick.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Nikki: How can you sit there and claim your innocence? You went to phyllis and you confessed! You bared your soul to her. You wanted to destroy her relationship with nicholas so you could take his place.

Jack: No, that is not what i meant. Look, I regret now having told phyllis everything that I was feeling. It was late, and I had one too many glasses of wine.

Nikki: Oh, I hope you’re not gonna use that excuse with me.

Jack: I’m not saying it completely absolves me. I’m just saying the alcohol lowered my inhibition. I thought I could speak my mind with phyllis. I went too far. I never meant to harm anyone.

Nikki: You shouldn’t have done it, jack!

Jack: I don’t know why it matters to you. This is something that could so easily be written off or forgotten. I don’t know why it hasn’t been.

Nikki: At least be honest with yourself, jack.

Victor: And stop pretending you’re a saint. You have fooled too many people for too long in this town. I know your real M.O. I’ve watched you do your devious, underhanded stuff in order to get what you want. But you always put a sheen of respectability and righteousness over it all. You fooled a lot of people, but you don’t fool me. I know the truth.

Jack: Oh, I suppose you’re the saint in this scenario.

Victor: Not all. Never pretended to be. With me, you get what you see. I’m ruthless. But I do not whisper sweet nothings into my old flame’s ear whilst knowing that she’s involved with someone else.

Jack: Okay, I am not going to argue about phyllis with you of all people.

Victor: I don’t give a damn about phyllis.

Jack: So you agree with nikki, that I interfered with nicholas’ relationship with phyllis?

Victor: Nick will move on. Always does. He changes women the way he changes careers.

Nikki: Doesn’t make the heartache any less painful. What does everybody else think?

Jack: Wh– okay, what is this? What is going on?

Nikki: We all have thoughts about what you did.

Jack: I don’t regret what is in my heart. It is part of who I am. As long as I don’t act on those feelings, it’s none of your business. And, yes, having a partner would have been better than spending the rest of my life alone, but sometimes loneliness is just part of life.

Traci: Poor jack.

Nick: My heart bleeds.

Traci: You could still find love again, jack, just not with phyllis. You need to keep looking.

Victor: Jack, you’re a hypocrite.

Sally: You made a huge mistake. You could’ve had this.

Nick: You know how I feel.

Jack: I know how you all feel. It doesn’t matter. I’m not looking for sympathy. I don’t care what any of you think or feel.

Nikki: Apparently, you do.

Jack: I didn’t hurt anyone. I didn’t break any laws telling phyllis that I still have feelings for her. I hold each of you in my heart to some degree. My family, my friends, the people I work with. I have love in my life. It’s more than enough for me.

Phyllis: Jack. You have to be honest with yourself.

Jack: I am telling the truth.

Phyllis: You have to stop saying what you want to be true and admit what really is. The love that you have from your friends and family and memories, it’s not enough. You don’t to go to that wedding alone. You don’t want to be alone anymore. What you really want more than anything is to be with —

Jack: [ Sighs ] Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

Jack: Thank you. Maybe the reason I didn’t move on with my romantic life was… ’cause I already was with the most amazing woman I’ve ever known. Maybe you set the bar too high, red.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Listen, I don’t — I don’t think you should say things that you might not mean.

Jack: I’m not saying this because I’ve had too much to drink. I’m saying it because it’s true. I have never stopped loving you. And I don’t think I ever will. Come on. You can’t be that shocked.

Phyllis: I don’t know what to say.

Jack: Let me be clear about this. I’m not acting on any of these feelings. I know our time is over. I know you’ve moved on. Life has moved on. I know you’re happy with…

Phyllis: With nick. That’s a fact.

Jack: Well, here’s another fact. I still love you… truly, deeply. And I have to live with that. I can’t stop it. It won’t go away.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ] Hey. Thanks for coming by. I know it’s late.

Nick: You said it was important. That’s good enough for me. What’s up?

Jack: I got something I got to get off my chest. I’ve been carrying around for a while, and I don’t see it going away any time soon.

Nick: Yeah, how can I help?

Jack: You can listen. There was a night not long after the newman media celebration at the hotel. I was talking to phyllis. I had maybe had one too many drinks that night. I don’t do that often anymore, but…I was definitely in a mood.

Nick: What happened?

Jack: I told phyllis that she was still very much in my heart.

Nick: Is that all?

Jack: No, there’s more. I told her that I never stopped loving her. Okay, clearly you’re not that surprised. Has phyllis already told you this?

Nick: She didn’t have to. I mean, I’ve known how you felt for a while now.

Jack: Wow, I’m that transparent?

Nick: You’re an open book. Look, with everything that went down with summer and kyle, you guys are spending a lot of time together, you know? You have this history. It’s only natural that you would be reminded of what you used to have with her.

Jack: Then you’re not bothered by my feelings?

Nick: I mean, I’m not threatened, if that’s what you’re asking. I also know your last relationship was with sally, and I know how that ended, so it’s understandable that you might be a little gun-shy about letting someone new into your life. And there was phyllis. And you had this thing together, and, you know, I’m not saying that she’s safe ’cause we both know she’s not.

Jack: No, she never has been.

Nick: But she’s familiar, so it’s understandable that you would still have feelings for her because she’s —

Both: She’s phyllis.

Nick: And she doesn’t make it easy to forget her. And I know what you guys had was pretty special.

Jack: But it’s no more special than what you had.

Nick: Yeah, I know.

Jack: Some of the best years of my life I spent with her. I’m not — I’m not looking through rose-colored glasses here. We had more than our share of problems.

Nick: Look, jack, it’s totally normal for you to, you know, remember fondly what you guys used to have. I do the same, you know, with sharon. I can reminisce about the good times, think about our mistakes. I mean, those things, they make us who we are today. And when you look back, you can change and grow.

Jack: That’s a very mature way of looking at things.

Nick: Look, my relationship with phyllis is a lot different than it was when we met or even after summer was born. It’s no better or worse, not at all the same, but, you know, that’s okay. You got to evolve, right?

Jack: Yeah, yeah. I couldn’t agree more. Let me ask you something. If you knew exactly how I felt about phyllis, why did you confide in me the other day? Why did you ask me those questions about your relationship with phyllis?

Nick: Yeah, I don’t know. Maybe I shouldn’t have. Maybe I was testing you.

Jack: Did I pass?

Nick: You failed miserably.

Jack: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: We’re good, man, honestly. I guess the question is, you know, what happens now?

Jack: Nothing. I made it abundantly clear to phyllis, I want to make it just as clear to you — I would never act on those feelings. I never would.

Nick: Okay.

Jack: I guess I just needed to tell her.

Nick: And then you needed to tell me.

Jack: Yes. I felt you had every right to know. You shouldn’t be kept from any of that.

Nick: I mean, I really, really appreciate that, especially since I definitely don’t deserve the same kindness from you.

Jack: Why do you say that? We’ve been through an awful lot, you and I. I was your stepfather. I was your workmate. I was a friend. I… I look back on all of that quite fondly.

Nick: I do too. For sure. But when it comes to phyllis, man, I did you wrong, and that is a guilt that I carry around with me, even today.

Jack: We’ve been through all that. It’s — it’s done.

Nick: I know. Still.

Jack: The heart goes where it wants to go, nick. We can’t control that.

Nick: But you were able to control those feelings you had for phyllis for all those years. Me, I acted on them, you know? I couldn’t help myself.

Jack: What do you say we leave ancient history behind us?

Nick: Cool with me. We’ll chalk it up to just another bump in the road that our friendship survives.

Jack: Yeah, I’m glad we did.

Nick: Yeah. I’m sorry.

Jack: I just said there’s no need for that.

Nick: I’m sorry that you haven’t found a woman that loves you as much as you love phyllis.

Jack: Wow. Lot of people saying that these days. I guess it’s kind of a theme.

Nick: Well, I’m just glad there’s other people who know that you deserve an incredible woman in your life. I know phyllis is a tough act to follow. But I know she’s out there somewhere for you. And I really hope you find her. Did you know diarrhea is often caused by bad bacteria in food?

Phyllis: Hey, baby. I expected you back sooner.

Nick: Yeah, I got caught up at crimson lights.

Phyllis: Oh, with sharon?

Nick: Jack, actually.

Phyllis: What?

Nick: Yeah, he texted me out of the blue and said he wanted to talk, so I met up with him.

Phyllis: This late?

Nick: Yeah, he had something weighing on his mind.

Phyllis: Well, is everything okay?

Nick: He told me about the conversation he had with you, the one where he told you he never stopped loving you.

Jack: Buongiorno! How’s my timing, kyle? Have I caught you before your workout? Great. How’s harrison?

[ Chuckles ] Excellent. Listen, I won’t keep you long. I just wanted to let you know how much everyone is looking forward to the big weekend in milan. Yeah, everyone. The whole town’s talking about it. Well, I talked to phyllis and nick, your aunt traci, nikki, victor. They’re all pretty excited.

Phyllis: Well, I’m surprised that jack opened up to you like that.

Nick: That’s all you have to say?

Phyllis: Yeah. I mean, honestly, I’m glad he said something. It was a burden keeping that to myself.

Nick: I mean, why didn’t you just say something? You know, it would’ve been a lot easier for you.

Phyllis: Well, because it was personal to jack, and I didn’t want to — I didn’t want to tell you his personal feelings.

Nick: Yeah, okay.

Phyllis: I mean, he was drinking, so…you know, there’s that. We do and say a lot of things we don’t mean when we’ve had a few.

Nick: Yeah, he did mention that.

Phyllis: Yeah. So I didn’t want to say anything. It has nothing to do with me, really. It has nothing to do with us. It caught me off guard, to be honest with you.

Nick: I know you two have bonded over missing summer and kyle since they moved to italy. Are you sure you didn’t know how he felt?

Phyllis: Yeah. How would I know how he felt?

Nick: I don’t know. I guess I just assumed you understood how unforgettable you are, you know? You’re not somebody that you just get over very easily.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, for sure, I’m not someone you get over easily. I’m glad it’s out in the open.

Nick: Yeah, jack mentioned that he felt badly that he left me in the dark.

Phyllis: Well, that’s nice of him. He’s a gentleman.

Nick: That he is.

Phyllis: This has nothing to do with us. You know that. I mean, this hasn’t changed anything with us. Right?

Nick: No. I mean, I’m — I’m not sure —

Phyllis: You’re not sure? What? We’re solid.

Nick: I know, I know. I just think — that’s all.

Phyllis: Don’t think. Stop thinking.

Nick: Okay.

Phyllis: Stop thinking. I know how to get you to stop thinking. I know how to make you sure that our relationship is solid, okay?

Nick: Okay.

Phyllis: Okay?

Nick: Okay.

Jack: No, the father of the groom will not be bringing a guest to the wedding. I will be there alone. Don’t you worry about me. I will be surrounded by all the people that matter. There will be a lot of love in milan. Okay, I’ll let you go. Get to your exercise. Give summer my love. Give the little guy a hug from me. Tell him grandpa jack cannot wait to have some gelato with him, and I’ll see you soon. I love you, too. Thanks. See you soon.

Dina: Jackie, you’ll be okay. You’ll find love again. I promise.

Jack: How do you know that?

Dina: You’ll find it because you’re yearning for it. I love you.

Jack: I love you too, mother. [ Sighs ]

Ashland: It looks perfect.

Victoria: It really does.

Ashland: When people walk through that door and they look at that portrait, they will see what I see — a strong, powerful beautiful woman watching over her empire. Victoria newman is the one building her legacy as the rightful leader of newman/locke.

Victoria: Thank you again for this incredible gift, for understanding what it means hanging in that place and whatd it symbolizes to me.

Ashland: I wanted to commemorate the merger of our companies and to give you a special wedding present. That portrait represents a new beginning…for both of us.

Nick: What’s up?

Billy: Thanks for coming by. I’ve wanted to talk to you ever since the family meeting with ashland.

Nick: Yeah, he definitely dropped a bomb.

Billy: Yeah. Just not sure if it was a truth bomb or not. Everything he said only made me want to dig deeper, which is what I want to talk to you about. I think we should join forces.

Nick: Not interested.

Billy: Why not?

Nick: Well, one, uh, I would like my sister to actually want to speak to me, and, two, i think ashland’s explanation for why he changed his name makes sense.

> Billy: So, it doesn’t bother you that he’s unwilling to share the entire story or that he won’t tell us what his birth name is? Come on, nick. I saw your face when he said that he was done explaining. Admit it, at least to me. You are no more satisfied than I am.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Amanda: You, um — you want me to move in with you?

Devon: Yeah.

Amanda: I mean, are you sure? Even with moses still here? I don’t want to ruin any brotherly bonding.

Devon: No, no, I ran it by him already, and he is more than fine with it. And as for me, I’m very, very certain that I want to make my home your home. I want to spend every day with you. But I also don’t want to pressure you into anything, too, ’cause I know you and I know that your lawyer mind likes to analyze everything before you make decisions. So, just take all the time you need and go through your process.

Amanda: Well, my mind must be working at supersonic speed because I’ve already made my decision. I would love to live with you.

Devon: Yeah?

Amanda: Yeah.

Devon: Yeah?

Amanda: Yeah.

Tessa: I’m so glad that you have ideas about how to move on and heal from having to let dominic go, but we don’t need to make any big decisions right now. We just moved out of abby’s, and you’re dealing with a lot emotionally. We don’t have to rush anything. You can take all the time you need.

Mariah: I know, but I don’t need any because the answer just appeared like a lightning bolt.

Tessa: Well, I — I don’t think that there are any easy answers to dealing with what’s happened.

Mariah: No, of course not, and I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy. But it is a path forward, the right one.

Tessa: O-okay.

Mariah: I think we should have a baby of our own.

Tessa: You want us to have a child?

Mariah: Yes. Think about how great it would be. You know, it’s not like we haven’t had that discussion before.

Tessa: Yeah, um, briefly, in the abstract. But making it a reality, I — I’m not so sure. I honestly didn’t think it would go there that soon. You haven’t really started to unpack what happened to you.

Mariah: I know, a-and I will deal with it. I-I promise. I will talk to my mom or I’ll go get some other form of therapy. But it’s because of what i experienced that I think that this is what iant and I need.

Tessa: I’m not following.

Mariah: Okay, um… sit down. Um…

[ Sighs ] Bowie — sorry — uh, dominic — he made me realize that I had all of these maternal instincts inside of me that I had no idea about. Carrying a child made me realize that I have so much more love to give than I thought. And starting a family with you — that would be the most wonderful thing in the world.

Tessa: That’s a gorgeous sentiment. And I share it, in a big-picture kind of way. But it’s only been a few days since you had abby and chance’s baby.

Mariah: Right. Right, I understand exactly why you’re worried. And my obg-yn said I shouldn’t get pregnant again for at least 12 months. So that’s why… I think you should carry the baby. I want you to experience what it’s like being pregnant, carrying a child, bringing new life into this world. It is absolutely life-changing. And you would be bringing it into our world.

Amanda: That was quite a welcome-to-the-neighborhood.

Devon: I am a welcoming committee of one, you know. The celebration doesn’t have to stop. We can, uh, have some more of the wine that I got for us and put on this very rare miles davis album that I think you’re really gonna love.

Amanda: Mmm.

Devon: You up for a slow dance with me?

Amanda: Ah, I absolutely am, but I need you to hold that thought.

Devon: Why?

Amanda: Because I have to go.

Devon: You have to go right now?

Amanda: Mm-hmm.

Devon: Why?

Amanda: Because I have to go and pack up all of my stuff at the hotel so that we can officially start living together as soon as possible.

Devon: Well, when you put it like that, then please get out of here.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Please.

Amanda: Mmm.

Devon: Go.

Amanda: Mmm.

Devon: Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Please.

Amanda: I’ll be back.

Devon: You better. Love you.

Amanda: Love you, too.

Victoria: All of the arrangements for the wedding seem to be falling into place, and before you know it, we’re gonna be on our way to tuscany.

Ashland: I’m counting the days.

[ Cellphone chimes ] You know, our wedding is going to be the best damn day of my life. And there is nothing that i would rather do than stay here and rub your feet and chat about it. But I’ve got to run because I’ve got a few things to take care of.

Victoria: No, that’s okay. I have an appointment. And then I have a stack of things that I need to get through when I come back to the office, so…

Ashland: I will check in with you later to see if you’re free for dinner, even if it’s just take-out on your desk.

Victoria: That sounds like a plan. Walk out with me?

[ Door opens ]

Nick: Yes, would I have liked ashland to reveal more information? Of course. But, billy, unlike you, I’m not looking to stir up trouble or find some dirt to make headlines.

Billy: Well, I understand that’s what people would think this is about, but it’s not.

Nick: I heard ashland was so annoyed with your attitude after he told us his story that he went and confronted you.

Billy: That’s one way to put it. Let’s just say he warned me to stay out of his life, which made me only more committed to the fact that he is desperately trying to hide something.

Nick: Well, there you go. The way you’re handling this, it is accomplishing something. You are frustrating my sister and pissing her off. Are you cool with that?

Billy: No, I’m not. But you got to make a choice in life sometimes, right? And I am willing to take the hit to protect my kids. You know what bothers me? He didn’t say anything to victoria until he was forced into it. And he still won’t tell us what his true birth name is or how he got so much money to start those companies at such a young age, especially when he said he came from nothing and that he left his past in the dust.

Nick: Things happen, billy, you know? And if victoria didn’t think she needed to take a closer look at ashland after he admitted that he was lying to her, what makes you think she’s gonna care about where he got his money?

Billy: Because how ashland got that much money so quickly when he was barely out of his teens speaks to his character just as much as creating a brand-new identity for himself.

Nick: Not necessarily.

Billy: Nick, I know a little something about compromised finances. It’s my gambling that got victoria kidnapped at one point. And now you got a guy that could potentially be my kids’ stepfather, and he openly admitted to erasing his entire history. He won’t tell us what his real name is or how he amassed a fortune to put him smack-dab in the business world. His entire career, he has thrived on being a larger-than-life mogul. Then he goes and sells his entire entity to a woman that he barely knows? Oh, yeah, and now they’re engaged.

Nick: Well, it’s not like it’s, you know, out of the blue. There are major extenuating circumstances.

Billy: Yeah, I understand. His illness could be altering his decisions. But then again, every event in his life is strange, isn’t it, with giant question marks hanging over them. Now, you get to make the choice to turn a blind eye, which is exactly what victoria’s doing. But I can’t, and I won’t, because the truth, whatever it is, matterS.

Is angel soft an

ideal balance of

Tessa: I hear what you’re saying. But I don’t think it’s the best time to consider having a baby. You’re still so emotionally raw after everything that’s happened with dominic.

Mariah: Yeah, that’s exactly why this is the right time to consider it. Okay, I — this is a lot. I know this is a lot, so I will just give you a minute to wrap your head around it.

[ Laughs ]

Tessa: But, hey, I — I love that you’re thinking about our future because I plan on being with you for the rest of my life. And when we’re both ready — like really, really ready — we should talk about it more. And hopefully that will be soon. But I think our top priority should be working through everything that’s happened with dominic and abby. Let me take care of you, okay? The watchwords today are “rest,” “relax,” “restore.”

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] You’re right. And those are pretty great words, so… you know what? I’m gonna take a quick nap.

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: [ Exhales heavily ]

Nick: Hey, rey.

Rey: Hey, nick. What’s going on, man?

Nick: Glad I ran into you. Um…something I want to talk to you about.

Rey: Alright. Is it about sharon? Faith?

Nick: About victoria. More precisely, her fiancé.

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay. I’ll get on that. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] Oh! To what do I owe this divine honor?

Victoria: I’m here for the spa, not you.

Phyllis: Well, since i hand-picked every single treatment on the list, I’m gonna take that as a compliment.

Victoria: Why am I not surprised?

Phyllis: What’s on the menu today?

Victoria: I’m getting a facial. I don’t really have time for much more.

Phyllis: Um, can I suggest the bridal package? It’s really great. And maybe you should tell nikki about it because I’m sure, as the mother of the bride, she wants to glow before the wedding. I’m going to treat myself to something in that package before we head off to summer’s wedding in milan.

Victoria: Oh, yes, that’s right. You and nicholas are heading to — to italy before ashland and I do.

Phyllis: Yeah. I’m really excited. I’m really excited for the wedding. I’m equally as excited to be spending time in the most beautiful place on the planet. And then we’ll go down to your wedding in tuscany. I’m sure it’s going to be a glorious affair. Are you excited?

Victoria: I can’t wait to marry ashland. I have never felt more positive or secure or happy in my entire life. He is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Phyllis: Good. Why don’t you tell me how you really feel?

Ashland: You wanted to meet. Here I am.

Gaines: Finally. You look well. I must say I’m surprised, given the reports about your condition.

Ashland: Well, you can’t believe everything you read.

Gaines: Oh. So, how are you feeling?

Ashland: What do you want, gaines?

Gaines: Alright. I guess we are, uh, dispensing with the niceties.

[ Breathes deeply ] I hate to be blunt, but i watched your livestream, and it’s pretty clear that my yearly pension is coming to an end sooner than expected, due to your condition. So we need to adjust our agreement.

Ashland: I would hardly call blackmail an agreement.

Gaines: After all these years, you’re still referring to our arrangement as blackmail? Aren’t we past all that? I thought that we had settled into a civil, even rather comfortable relationship.

Ashland: Answer the question. What exactly do you want?

Gaines: [ Sighs ] (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!

Nick: Rey, I got a lot of serious questions about ashland, and I feel like I need some answers before victoria marries this guy.

Rey: Alright. What, you’re worried he did something illegal?

Nick: I hope not. Now, this next part is why i need you to keep it between us. Ashland told the rest of the family that when he was younger he changed his name to escape an abusive father.

Rey: Well, I know something about problematic fathers, so i understand why someone might do that.

Nick: If it was just this one bit of information, then I’d probably be okay with it, but it’s been a series of surprising revelations that got me wondering — does my sister need to know more? Now, she’s a very smart, savvy woman. I don’t doubt for one second that ashland has real feelings for her. But the speed of the newman/locke merger and their engagement has got me concerned. And, frankly, it has caught me and the rest of the family off guard.

Rey: Yeah, I have to admit i was a bit surprised by it, as well, given what victoria has gone through personally over the last few years. I understand why you’re being protective. But I don’t think there are grounds to launch an official investigation. And, you know, I wouldn’t feel comfortable investigating off the record, if that’s what you’re asking.

Nick: No, no, it’s — I’m asking because I’m thinking about looking into this myself. And if I do it, I want it to be done very quietlY. So I’m just hoping you could maybe point me in the right direction. That’s it.

Rey: Alright. Okay. Well, let’s — let’s start at the beginning. Did he share anything about the birth name?

Nick: No, he is a closed book about that.

Rey: Okay, well, that’s not necessarily a dead end. I mean, name changes have to be filed in the courts, and they have to be published in the newspaper.

Nick: My dad and billy each have people looking into that. They’re looking at, you know, court records and old publications, and so far they haven’t come up with anything. Do you know if there are different rules if the person is a victim of abuse? Like, would the courts allow ashland to conceal his identity if it was for his own protection?

Rey: Yeah, no, back then, it’s highly unlikely. If the name change wasn’t in the public records, that means that locke didn’t go through the usual channels. He — he must have found a way to bend the rules.

Nick: I’m not sure how he would pull that off. I mean, he was young. He didn’t have any clout or money. This all happened before he became a success in business.

Rey: So, look, changing a name is only one facet of creating a new identity. To do it completely, you need a birth certificate, a new social security number. It’s not easy. And it’s even harder to believe that someone like locke, who has been under public scrutiny for as long as he has, could keep something like that hidden.

Nick: Yet he still managed somehow to do it. Which means I have more questions now than I did before.

Gaines: You see, I’ve grown accustomed to the 300 grand a year you’ve been providing me. It buys me a lifestyle I enjoy.

Ashland: I’m sure it does.

Gaines: And in return, you have received my silence. But it looks like all that’s coming to an end. Truly sorry about that.

Ashland: Right.

Gaines: You know, I would have thought a man like you would have had more time left on this earth, but fate has its own plan for the future. And so do I. I want what should have and would have been mine. But I’m not greedy. I’ll settle for 10 years of payments in one lump sum.

Ashland: $3 million?

Gaines: Good math. In cash, by the end of the day. And then I’ll be out of your life, and you can die knowing that your secret is safe.

Victoria: So, you think that I sounded over-the-top about marrying ashland? I’m sorry. I guess I let my enthusiasm get the best of me.

Phyllis: Yeah. Don’t apologize. I mean, hey, listen, I know how it feels to be happy with the person you’re with, like you finally got it right.

Victoria: Honestly, I thought you and nicholas would have imploded by now.

Phyllis: Well, you’re not the only one. That’s the general thought around town.

Victoria: Mm. So, what’s different this time? I mean, maybe you — you’ve really changed or maybe nick is just more of a saint than ever before.

Phyllis: Well, maybe it’s just a little bit of both. You know? Did you ever think you’d be with someone like ashland before this time in your life?

Victoria: No, no, I didn’T. I view the world and people and love in a very different way now.

Phyllis: Yeah. So do I. I view the world differently now, too.

[ Clears throat ] This is an adult conversation. I mean, we’ve evolved. It’s what they call growth, right?

Victoria: Yeah. Well, I hope that you’re not suggesting that we become friends.

Phyllis: Well, I don’t want to be your friend. I’m not suggesting that, you know? Maybe in like 50 years, but not now.

Victoria: Yeah, well, maybe if you keep being good to my brother, we’ll maybe make it 25.

Phyllis: Jack! Hey!

Jack: Hello, ladies. And how is the bride-to-be today?

Victoria: Very well. Thank you. However, I’m about to be late for my appointment. So, if you’ll excuse me…

Phyllis: Hey. What brings you by? You going to the spa, or do you have a business meeting?

Jack: No, actually, I came here to see you.

[ Lock whirs, disengages ]

Imani: Amanda!

Amanda: Hey.

Imani: I really need to talk to you.

Amanda: Why? What’s going on?

Imani: It’s about mom.

Itchy?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Imani: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. I thought I could keep it together, but I’m a mess.

[ Breathes deeply ] The three of us were having such a great trip, and then finding out about mom’s heart condition — it was so shocking.

Amanda: I completely understand. That’s why I actually reached out to nate. He assured me that naya’s condition is treatable and he put me in contact with some specialists and they should be able to help.

Imani: Wait. You did all that already?

Amanda: I hope that’s not a problem.

Imani: No. I’m grateful and relieved. Thank you. It’s just a new and kind of strange dynamic for me. Growing up an only child, i never had anyone I could lean on like this.

Amanda: Yeah.

Imani: Other than my grandfather — well, our grandfather — and my parents.

Amanda: I know what you mean.

Imani: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be so insensitive.

Amanda: No, no, you — you weren’T.

[ Chuckles ] I think that this is gonna take a little getting used to for both of us. But I want you to know that I’m really happy that I have a sister to turn to.

Imani: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Me too.

Jack: I was on my way home, and I thought I’d stop by and see if maybe you and nick would like to fly to milan with me on the jabot jet. I’ll be traveling with less of a crowd than the newmans.

Phyllis: Wait a second. Are you offering an alternative to flying with victor newman?

Jack: [ Laughs ]

Phyllis: Yes. Yes. I’m just gonna run it by nick, but yes.

Jack: Yeah, of course.

Phyllis: Hey, I bet you’re as excited to see kyle as I am to see summer.

Jack: It does my heart good, after everything our kids have been through, to see them get the happiness that they deserve. I look at them, I still see the children they once were, as well as the amazing adults they are now, so in love and building a life together.

Phyllis: Yeah. You want that for yourself, too, don’t you?

Jack: Kyle’s happiness is enough for me.

Phyllis: Hey! Don’t dismiss what I said.

[ Sighs ] Listen, I’ve been thinking a lot about what you said the other night.

Gaines: Given what’s at stake, I think it’s a small price to pay.

Ashland: Gaines, I can’t snap my fingers and come up with that kind of cash by tonight. I’m in the middle of a massive corporate merger, so the entire locke enterprise is under a microscope. And on top of that, I’m getting married in a few weeks. So, when I return from italy, I will square all of my accounts with you.

Gaines: I’m afraid that’s not acceptable. We need to settle this before you leave the country because once you’re gone, you might be gone forever.

Ashland: I’m marrying the woman I love, not planning an escape.

Gaines: Look, I don’t want to be unreasonable. Business day’s about to come to a close. I’m willing to wait…until tomorrow.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Y-you really think that’s feasible?

Gaines: For a man like you, I do. You’ve proven time and again that when you want something, you make it happen, even the seemingly impossible.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] I’ll take care of it. And then that’s the end… of you and me. You will never contact me again. Coming back for more will the biggest mistake of your life. I’ll repeat. Never contact me again.

Get ready. It’s time for

the savings event of the year.

Imani: I have a proposition.

Amanda: Okay.

Imani: How about we have a little sister time right now? We can order room service, watch a movie. There’s this new french film i want to stream.

Amanda: Oh, I know the film you’re talking about. I heard that it is absolutely amazing.

Imani: Mm-hmm. And since we both speak the language, we can make it interesting. We can turn off the subtitles, see whose french is better.

Amanda: Oh, okay! Challenge accepted.

[ Laughs ] I, uh — I just got to make a really quick phone call first, okay?

Imani: Okay.

Devon: Hey. You on your way back?

Amanda: Um, not yet. Imani is actually here, and we were hoping that we could hang out a little longer.

Devon: Oh, yeah. No, that’s no problem. Take your time. Me and the penthouse ain’t going nowhere.

Amanda: Okay. Thank you. Um, I will see you at home later. That sounded so weird.

[ Chuckles ]

Devon: [ Chuckles ] No. It sounds right.

Amanda: It did. Bye.

Devon: Bye.

Imani: Um, I wasn’t eavesdropping, but, um — okay. Yeah. I was. I couldn’t help it. Did I hear you right? Are you and devoN…

Amanda: Moving in together? Yes.

Imani: [ Laughs ] Congrats. I’m so happy for you.

Amanda: Thank you.

Imani: Wow. I don’t know if you’re sweet or crazy to be hanging out here when you can be settling in and getting cozy with him.

Amanda: Well, he knows how important you are to me. And he will be there when I walk through the door.

[ Sighing ] Oh, god, it feels so good. I mean, should I be worried to be this happy?

Imani: Hell no. You deserve it.

[ Sighs ] I admit, I am a little jealous you found someone as spectacular as devon. He’s a once-in-a-lifetime catch.

Amanda: Yeah. He is. I’m a lucky woman.

[ Soft guitar music playing ]

[ Music continues ]

Tessa: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought I was playing softly.

Mariah: It’s the best sound in the world to wake up to.

Tessa: Well, you seem more at peace. Maybe some rest did you good.

Mariah: It’s more than that. Waking up knowing that we have a plan and we know what direction we’re going in, it just — it’s a huge weight off of my heart, even for a little bit. Oh. You’re not on board with having our baby, are you?

Jack: Hey, I thought we put all that to bed. I didn’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable or —

Phyllis: No, just — hey, let me finish. Just let me get this out. Um, you can’t stop me anyway. You know that. [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Go ahead.

Phyllis: I love you, too. That’s never gonna change.

Jack: Well, thank you. It’s — it’s not the same thing, but I appreciate the sentiment.

Phyllis: It is the same thing. I really love you. You’ll always be in my heart… permanently in my heart. So just keep that knowledge with you, okay?

Victoria: I’m sending you the figures now, so just give me a call back after you’ve looked at them. Thanks.

[ Phone hangs up ] Hi there.

Ashland: You look busy.

Victoria: Yes, well, I had a lovely respite at the spa, but I’m paying for it now. I don’t think I’m gonna be able to leave for dinner.

Ashland: Oh, no worries. I understand.

Victoria: What about you? Did you take care of everything you needed to?

Ashland: Uh…yeah, I did.

Victoria: Are you okay? You seem a little tense.

Ashland: That’s just the treatments mixed with all the other things I have on my mind, I guess.

Victoria: What things? I mean, if you’re talking about our company, I mean, everything’s fine on that front.

Ashland: No, no, I just want our big day in tuscany to go as smoothly as possible and be an amazing occasion for you.

Victoria: I want that, too. But you do know that the wedding is just one day. The marriage is what really matters, the time that we spend together, who we are to each other.

Ashland: Even with all that I’ve told you about my past, you still have your doubts about me. What makes new salonpas arthritis gel

Tessa: I have no problem with the idea of starting a family. Why would I? I love you. But this is all really sudden.

Mariah: But it’s not for me.

Tessa: What you went through as a surrogate would be very different than what it would be for us. And it’s too important to rush. It would be a mistake to do it for the wrong reasons.

Mariah: But I don’t know what you’re talking about. Wrong reasons? I mean, we’re two people who love each other.

Tessa: I’m just trying to think of what’s best for you.

Mariah: I understand, tessa. I do. But I really need this.

Victoria: I don’t doubt your love for me. And I really — I want to marry you as much as I did the day you proposed to me.

Ashland: But I just saw that look in your eyes. Now, please listen to me. I — [ Sighs ] I want to spend the rest of my life with you. But whoever I was, I’m still the man that fell head over heels for you.

Victoria: I know that.

Ashland: I never told anybody about my past, but I opened up about things I never talk about with you, your family, even billy, all to avoid that look I just saw in your eyes.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] It meant so much that you did that, but I’m — I’m still just trying to take it all in.

Ashland: What can I do to reassure you, angel?

Victoria: I just need to know that there aren’t gonna be any more surprises.

Ashland: I promise. You know every important thing there is to know about me.

Jack: Well, I, uh, better be going. Let me know what you and nick decide about the plane ride.

Phyllis: Okay. Hey!

Nick: What plane ride?

Jack: I thought you and phyllis might like to go to milan on the jabot jet with me.

Phyllis: Yes. And my answer was, hell yes, given the alternative is spending 10 hours sitting next to your father. But, hey, it’s your call.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Cool. I’m in.

Jack: Great. Glad to hear it. I’ll be in touch with details.

Nick: Alright.

Phyllis: So, you missed your sister earlier. She came for a spa appointment. We had a pleasant conversation.

Nick: Yeah, I’ve been thinking a lot about victoria’s marriage to ashland.

Phyllis: Yeah. I know you’re bothered by what ashland revealed to the family. I mean, we haven’t had a chance to talk about it, but I know it bothers you, given how you felt before.

Nick: Well, it’s like every time I feel like I’m ready to let it go, another bombshell drops. I mean, you know, one, ashland’s dying, which is terrible. But then we find out that ashland and victoria merged their companies. And then we find out that ashland isn’t who he says he is? It’s unsettling. And I’m sure it is for victoria, too, not that she’ll ever admit it. You know, I’ve been really thinking about digging into ashland’s past. But I’m conflicted. But I want answers. But I also know that if I go down this road, there’s no going back, particularly where victoria is concerned. And if she finds out that I did that, she’s gonna be furious, and she may never talk to me again.

Phyllis: You know, earlier i said don’t meddle, don’t get in the way of true love, but… if your instinct is telling you that ashland is hiding something, I mean… you’re a protective, loving brother. That’s a beautiful thing. So, there are two ways to go about this. Either you save your sister from potential disaster… or you just be nice and polite and do nothing. I know what I would do.

Chloe: Well, that is the sweet and wonderful thing about kids. They bring out a side of you you never knew existed.

Sally: Yeah. I mean, I always saw myself as, like, single-mindedly career-focused, with a hot love life on the side, of course. I just wonder how working parents juggle having a career and kids the way that you do.

Chloe: Yeah. Trust me. It’s, um — [ Laughs ] It’s not easy.

Sally: Yeah. Well, I always admired people who do it all, but, I mean, single parenting? Wow…like, when I realized all that Adam has to handle on his own…

Chloe: Okay, well, Connor does still have a mother — Chelsea — who’s my best friend and who is also going to be our co-worker when she decides to come home, so…

Sally: Yeah. Nope. I have heard your message loud and clear — stay away from Adam. But, you know, seeing him as a good dad made him ever hotter.

Chloe: [ Coughs ]

Adam: Look, Rey, it has been rough on Connor hearing that Chelsea and I are splitting up. I wanted Sharon to talk to
him, maybe give him some tools to help him cope. Really hope that’s not an excuse for you to get pissed off.

Rey: Not at all. As I told you before, Connor and I became good buddies on our road trip. I care about him, and I’m glad you finally decided to be honest with him. The boy deserves to know the truth. And Sharon will always help where she can.

Adam: Am I hearing this correctly? It kind of sounds like we’ve found some common ground here. Could it be that we can actually co-exist?

Mariah: Okay, bowie.

[ Sniffles ] I’m gonna have to say goodbye now, alright? Okay. Alright. Shh, shh.

[ Sniffles, sighs ] I’m really sorry about ending the baptism celebration like this, but…I just think it’s best for everybody if tessa and I move out.

Abby: Why don’t you just think this through? I-I can call your mom. I can have sharon come over.

Mariah: No, please, don’T.

Abby: You can talk to her.

Mariah: Don’t! Don’t! Please. You have got to stop taking care of me. You need to take care of dominic now.

Amanda: Nate. Hi.

Nate: Hey.

Amanda: Thank you so much for meeting me. Um, I know that you’re probably really busy with the new job and everything. I just really needed to talk.

Nate: Yeah. No problem. Okay, so, you said your mother is ill.

Amanda: Yes. Her doctor says that she has an atrial fibrillation. She’s been having shortness of breath, fatigue…

Nate: Uh-huh.

Amanda: …Heart palpitations.

Nate: I’m sorry to hear that. I know dealing with unexpected health issues can be quite stressful.

Amanda: Yes.

Nate: But I hope her doctors told you this is completely treatable with the right care.

Amanda: And that is what I’m worried about — the right care. So, I want to make sure that my mother gets the best treatment as soon as possible.

Nate: Yes, of course. That goes without saying.

Amanda: I’ve been alone, you know, most of my life, and I’ve gotten pretty used to that, right? And when I found out that I had a family, I found out that i also lost my twin sister and my father, but I still have my mother. And we should have many years to get to know each other.

Nate: Okay.

Amanda: So I really need those years, okay?

Nate: Okay. Okay. Okay.

Amanda: Okay.

Nate: Relax, okay? Take a deep breath.

Amanda: [ Exhales sharply ]

Nate: It’s gonna be okay.

Adam: Sharon. Um, do you have a minute?

Sharon: Um…

[ Cellphone ringing ] No, actually, I — I have to take this. Hi. Um, I’m so sorry I left so many messages. I just wanted to see how the baptism went, and I’m really sorry I had to miss it. We had a staffing issue here today, but it’s totally handled now, so I’m on my way to the reception.

Mariah: Don’t come. It’s over anyway.

Sharon: Oh. Okay. I won’T. But I’m worried about you. It must have been an emotional day.

Mariah: I’m — I’m okay.

Sharon: You don’t sound okay.

Mariah: I’m not okay, but i just need to get out of the chancellor house right now. So I need to be on my own so i can come to terms and process everything.

Sharon: Okay. I understand. Um, but I’m here for you whenever you’re ready to talk, and you can count on me. I just want to support you through this.

Adam: Everything alright?

Sharon: Well, um… it turns out my plans have changed, so I will have some time to talk.

Adam: Good, because we would like to try this again. Connor?

Connor: I’m sorry.

Adam: Go on.

Connor: About what I said the other day and for running off like that. That was wrong.

Sharon: Thank you, connor. And there’s really no need to apologize.

Adam: I want to make it very clear that sharon is not to blame for what’s happening between me and your mom. You understand that, don’t you?

Sally: So, I was out for a run when I saw this kid in the park, all alone, looking upset. And when I got closer, i recognized him from the pictures in adam’s office.

Chloe: Oh. It was connor?

Sally: Yeah. So I texted adam so that he wouldn’t worry. Of course I didn’t let on to connor that I had done that. And I just played it cool, and i asked him if I could sit on the bench with him for a while.

Chloe: What was he doing alone in the park, and how did adam let that happen?

Sally: Well, I didn’t want to pry, but from what I gathered, he ran off when adam gave him some pretty upsetting news. And if I were to bet, it was probably about his parents splitting up.

Chloe: It’s possible.

Sally: Yeah. I mean, my heart really went out to the little guy. It just triggered something in me. I…was surprised at how easily I connected with him. I… I don’t know. I…even cheered him up a little bit, actually. Who knew I had that — what do you call it — mom gene?

[ Both chuckle ] Did you know some deodorants may not last all day?

Nate: Listen. From what you told me, naya’s condition is treatable.

Amanda: Yeah.

Nate: And I’m going to get you the best possible options for doctors, alright? I know you’re worried, but trust me, you’re gonna have plenty of time to spend with your mother.

Amanda: Yeah. I’M… I’m sorry, nate. I — [ Chuckles ] I’ve just been trying to fight this fear in the pit of my stomach, you know? I feel like I’ve been so stressed out lately that I don’t have enough resources for the challenges that keep coming up. And then that makes me even more stressed out.

Nate: It’s a common cycle.

Amanda: And then my grandfather’s trial is coming up. I’m so worried about how that’s gonna impact naya.

Nate: Yeah, no doubt. I’m sure it will affect you and your sister, as well.

Amanda: And then there’s devon. I’m worried about him, too. He’s been having all of these conflicting emotions ever since dominic was born, and I — I feel —

Nate: Okay, amanda, you cannot take everyone’s problems onto your own shoulders. You have to off-load some of that to the people who care about you. Let’s try to solve this one thing at a time. First, let’s get naya the treatment she needs.

Amanda: Thank you, nate.

Nate: No problem. But promise me you will stop spreading yourself so thin. Take time for yourself, or you might not be able to help the people you love.

Adam: What do you say, buddy?

Sharon: I know how confusing this must all be for you. But I want you to know that i want only the best for you and both of your parents. Can you believe that?

Adam: And you remember how helpful sharon was to you in the past? You were having difficulties, and sharon knew just what to do to help. And same for your mom. Sharon helped her, too.

Sharon: And I want to continue to help you. So you can come to me whenever you need someone to talk to. Okay? Is that cool?

Connor: Cool. Thanks.

Sharon: Alright, come on. Sit down here and I’ll go get you a snack and we can chat for a while about anything you want to.

Connor: I guess that would be okay.

Adam: [ Clears throat ]

Chloe: Well, that is the sweet and wonderful thing about kids. They bring out a side of you you never knew existed.

Sally: Yeah. I mean, I always saw myself as, like, single-mindedly career-focused, with a hot love life on the side, of course. I just wonder how working parents juggle having a career and kids the way that you do.

Chloe: Yeah. Trust me. It’s, um — [ Laughs ] It’s not easy.

Sally: Yeah. Well, I always admired people who do it all, but, I mean, single parenting? Wow. Like, when I realized all that adam has to handle on his own…

Chloe: Okay, well, connor does still have a mother — chelsea — who’s my best friend and who is also going to be our co-worker when she decides to come home, so…

Sally: Yeah. Nope. I have heard your message loud and clear — stay away from adam. But, you know, seeing him as a good dad made him ever hotter.

Chloe: [ Coughs ]

Sally: [ Chuckles ] I’m just kidding! I gotcha.

Chloe: Very, very funny. I’m going to warn you again, though — don’t be fooled by the fact that he has a great kid ’cause that is all chelsea.

Sally: I don’t doubt that chelsea is a wonderful mother. But she’s away, and adam is having to do double duty. And I respect anyone raising children these days, but to do it on your own, it’s big props.

Tessa: [ Sighs ] Alright. Car is loaded and ready to go. But it’s not “goodbye.” It’s just “see you soon.”

Abby: Mariah, are you sure this is what’s best for you right now? I mean, exiling yourself from the baby?

Tessa: Okay, “exile” is a big word. We don’t live that far.

Abby: I wanted this to be a safe place for you. I hope it still can be.

Mariah: I appreciate your concern, abby. Really, I do. But like I said before, I think this is the right answer. And I’m gonna continue to pump milk, so don’t worry.

Tessa: Oh, yeah. And I will personally deliver the bottles.

Devon: Are you sure that’s not gonna be too much for you right now?

Mariah: No. I-I — I want to be able to do that for dominic. It’s — it’s just being here around him all the time that’s — that’s the hard part.

[ Sniffles ] It’s why I have to leave, even though the last thing I want to do is hurt you, abby.

Abby: I know that. Whatever you need, that’s what we’ll do.

Mariah: [ Sniffles ] Alright. Bye.

[ Sniffles ]

Devon: See you guys.

Abby: Bye.

[ Dominic crying ]

Abby: Ohh, my little love, what’s wrong?

Mariah: [ Sighs ]

Abby: It’s okay. Mommy’s here. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. Aww.

Tessa: [ Sighs ] Most bladder leak pads were similar.

Adam: Look, rey, it has been rough on connor hearing that chelsea and I are splitting up. I wanted sharon to talk to him, maybe give him some tools to help him cope. Really hope that’s not an excuse for you to get pissed off.

Rey: Not at all. As I told you before, connor and I became good buddies on our road trip. I care about him, and I’m glad you finally decided to be honest with him. The boy deserves to know the truth. And sharon will always help where she can.

Adam: Am I hearing this correctly? It kind of sounds like we’ve found some common ground here. Could it be that we can actually co-exist?

Sharon: How you feeling now?

Connor: Full.

Sharon: [ Laughs ] No, seriously, though.

Connor: I’m kind of sad. Lots of kids at school have parents who split up, and i always felt sorry for them. Now I’m one of those kids.

Sharon: It’s always really sad when parents separate. And I imagine it’s probably pretty scary, too, huh?

Connor: I don’t know what my life is going to be like. Who will I stay with? If I live with my mom, my dad will be sad. My mom already misses me.

Sharon: It’s not your job to take care of them. Why don’t you relax and let them take care of you?

Connor: But will they pretend not to fight when they’re around me? ‘Cause I can tell when they’re being fake, and that’s worse.

Sharon: Well, I can’t answer that, but I know when your mother comes back to town, you will spend equal time with both your mom and dad. And they are definitely not pretending that they love you because they really, really do. So, when you all spend time together as a family, that love — that’s all that matters.

Abby: I don’t know how this happened. We had agreements and plans. We covered all of our bases — or at least I thought we did.

Devon: No, we did. We — we absolutely did. We all went into this clearly, with good intentions.

Abby: I mean, we started out as this big, happy extended family living together. And now mariah can’t even stand being around me and the baby?

Devon: You got to know, abby, at the end of the day that a legal agreement is nothing but a piece of paper. It can’t predict how people are gonna feel. And mariah — she went through something that was really traumatic. We don’t know. That might have really changed things for her, being isolated like that.

Abby: Or maybe she would have felt that way even if everything had gone as planned.

Devon: Maybe. I think the best thing that we can do right now, though, is just give her time and give her the distance she needs to figure out how she fits in with dominic and all of us. At least she has tessa. I know she’ll take good care of her.

Mariah: I’m sorry. I just… I couldn’t go back to the apartment.

[ Door closes ] It doesn’t feel like home anymore.

Tessa: Hey, that’s okay. We’ve been looking for something bigger for a while. We can stay here until we find the perfect spot for us.

Mariah: A fresh start.

Tessa: Exactly. And in the meantime, we get to stay here, in this fantastic suite, with room service and a maid service. And there’s a spa downstairs. Um, do you want me to order some food?

Mariah: No, not right now. And, um… you don’t need to comfort me or treat me like I’m fragile. This separation — this is exactly what I needed, you know, so I can start to step away from the connection that I feel to dominic. I’m gonna — I’m gonna get better. I promise.

Tessa: Okay. But there’s no pressure.

Mariah: Yeah.

Tessa: Okay? No timeline.

Mariah: I need to prepare myself so that, moving forward, I can see the baby in the way that we all originally planned. Dominic is abby and chance’s son, and my feelings toward him — they need to be familial, not maternal.

Tessa: Familial?

Mariah: Yeah, it was the, um — it was the legal name they used in the contract.

Tessa: Oh. Well, you sound like you’re talking with your head. It’s your heart that I’m worried about.

Why hide your skin if dupixent

Amanda: Uh, thank you so much, doctor. I really appreciate you seeing my mother on such short notice. Yes. Yes, we will definitely be there. Thank you. Bye-bye. Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Amanda: I am so glad you’re home. Um, I have really good news.

Devon: What is it?

Amanda: I, um, spoke to all these doctors that nate recommended, and I think one of them will be able to help my mother.

Devon: Oh, good. I know this has to be hard for you ’cause you just found your mom and you’re finally getting to know her and then this happens.

Amanda: Yeah, I [Laughs] Kind of unloaded all of that onto nate. But he assured me that, um, my mother’s diagnosis is not life-threatening. So I just need to help her navigate this, you know, one doctor’s appointment at a time.

Devon: Well, I’m glad that you reached out to nate ’cause he’ll give you good advice.

Amanda: Yeah. I know. Um…I’m used to being on my own, you know? So asking for help — it doesn’t really come naturally to me.

Devon: I know that better than anybody, but you have to learn how to ask for support when you really need it, especially when there’s so many people in your life that are happy to help you. We just don’t know what’s going on with you unless you tell us.

Amanda: Yeah. Nate said as much. And, you know, it’s funny because I was just about to say those exact same words to you.

Chloe: [ Clears throat ]

Chelsea: Hi! I was just about to call you. You are never gonna believe what adam’s done now.

Chloe: What happened?

Chelsea: He told connor that we won’t be reuniting, and he had the conversation without me. Mm-hmm. Oh, and get this. And then he had connor talk to sharon, of all people. Sharon. Of course connor was upset. I mean, how did adam think his son was gonna react?

Chloe: Poor connor. That must have been so hard on him. But I hope you know that this is the best thing for you.

Chelsea: I’m just so angry over how adam has controlled and manipulated this entire situation. I should have been there for connor. We needed to tell him together.

Chloe: This is what adam does. This is what adam always does. So, the way I see it, the world has opened up for you. And now you can get on with your life without letting adam bring you down. And we can start kicking butt together at our fashion platform.

Chelsea: Yeah. Right. Uh, speaking of which, how are things going with that woman you brought on board at work — sally? Connor told me that she found him in the park when he ran away. He said she calmed him down. He seemed to like her.

[ Sighs ] I guess I should thank her.

Connor: That’s dad’s friend. We met in the park, and she was really nice to me.

Sally: Well, hey, you two.

Connor: Hi. Um, I don’t remember your name.

Sally: That’s okay because i remember yours, connor.

Connor: Tell sharon about getting a bucket of ice water dumped on your head.

Sally: [ Laughs ] I think most people have heard that one already.

[ Chuckles ] And for the record, my name is sally.

Chloe: I think sally’s talents lie more with design than with taking care of kids.

Chelsea: That may be, but she was good to my son at a time i couldn’t there. So I want to let her know i appreciate it.

Chloe: I’ll be sure to pass along your gratitude.

Sharon: Looks like you two have quite a rapport.

Sally: Yeah, we’re pals. Aren’t we, connor?

Connor: Yeah. You’re funny.

Sally: Well, I try.

[ Chuckles ]

Connor: Do you have any more embarrassing stories?

Sally: Dozens. You have no idea how many times I’ve made a fool of myself.

Connor: [ Laughs ]

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Adam: Sally, thanks again for spending time with connor the other day. He and I are heading back to the office shortly.

Connor: Can sally come with us? She works with you, right?

Sally: Yes, and I love my job. Actually, I was just headed back there, too.

Adam: Uh, well, let’s go then. Thank you, sharon.

Connor: Bye. Thanks.

Adam: Rey.

Rey: Mm.

Sharon: I almost hate to ask what you and adam got into out on the patio.

Rey: Surprisingly, it was quite civil. Adam seems to think we’ve reached a common ground. We’ll see if it holds. How’d it go with connor?

Sharon: Um…I think he’ll be okay.

Rey: You still seem concerned.

Sharon: Well, um, I have to wonder if sally’s enthusiasm about her job is really about the newman fashion platform or adam.

Rey: You think she’s got her sights set on him?

Sharon: Nick told me that she has a reputation for targeting wealthy men. Apparently, she did it in L.A., And she immediately made a play for jack when she got here. She’s the last kind of complication adam needs right now.

Rey: You think he’s interested?

Sharon: Well, he kind of said he’s not, but he’s lonely these days, and that makes him vulnerable.

Devon: You really want to ask what’s going on with me when you still got so much up in the air?

Amanda: Well —

Devon: Have you even thought about what you’re gonna do now that you’re not working for your family anymore?

Amanda: [ Scoffs ]

Devon: Hmm?

Amanda: Hmm?

Devon: Hmm?

Amanda: I have actually thought about that a lot lately.

Devon: Oh, okay. You gonna go back to chanccomm?

Amanda: Well, if you must know, my mother and imani — we’ve been talking about it when we were away on my trip, and that’s why starting my own firm went from an idea to a decision. I’m gonna go for it.

Devon: You are?

Amanda: Yes.

Devon: Well, congratulations. That’s fantastic.

Amanda: Thank you. And I won’t be going it alone. Imani is going to take the bar finally. She’s gonna get her law license, and she’s gonna come on board as my junior partner.

Devon: Wow. Look at that. That’s like a dream come true for you to have your own family business.

Amanda: And you know what will give me even more pleasure?

Devon: Hmm?

Amanda: Sitting side by side with my new partner/sister and my very healthy mother and listening to the verdict “guilty” being read in sutton’s case.

Devon: I have no doubt that that’s going to happen.

Amanda: And there it is.

Devon: What?

Amanda: That optimism and that never-ending support that makes you so special to me.

Devon: You know you can always count on me for both of those things.

Amanda: Well, um, you’ve been asking me questions since you walked through the door, and you’ve clearly avoided mine. Now it’s your turn to give me some answers about the baptism.

Devon: Okay. With everything you have going on, the last thing you need is to listen to me vent.

Amanda: Oh, I’m sorry. You see, I thought this was a relationship, you know, where we both benefited.

Devon: Okay. It is.

[ Both laugh ] I think I just get embarrassed to talk to you about this because you warned me before that situations like this can get messy.

Amanda: And that’s why i urged you to draw up the legal agreement — so that there would be no questions, no gray area.

Devon: Oh, I do know that, but I’ve been learning that, despite all of it, a contract doesn’t really account for how people really feel, you know? And you’re more than welcome to say “I told you so.”

Tessa: Hey.

Mariah: Hey. Thank you for sticking with me on this journey. I know it hasn’t been easy.

Tessa: Mm. Don’t ever try to hide your feelings or be brave, especially around me. You can count on me to help you make this transition as smooth and as painless as possible. Actually, scratch that. I know it can’t be painless because what you’re going through is freaking gut-wrenching. But I’m here for all of it, the good, the bad, the ugly. So bring it on.

[ Both chuckle ] We’re starting over. This is the next phase of our lives, and we are gonna get through this together.

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Amanda: I will never say “I told you so.” Besides, I am talking to you now as your romantic partner, not as your lawyer. We need to be each other’s safe place, devon.

Devon: I mean, the baptism was rough. It was mostly rough ’cause of how much mariah was struggling.

Amanda: Yeah, I saw that at the reception.

Devon: Yeah, but after you left, though, she really let it pour out. She basically told abby that she doesn’t know how to not be dominic’s mother.

Amanda: [ Sighs ]

Devon: She thinks the only way to deal with it is to distance herself, so she says she’s gonna move out of the mansion. And she doesn’t know how she can comfortably fit in this arrangement as it stands.

Amanda: I mean, I’m not surprised. She’s losing someone that she loves.

Devon: I mean, she’s not — she’s not losing anybody ’cause abby’s made it very clear to mariah that she wants her in the baby’s life always.

Amanda: Nevertheless, it is a loss, devon. Mariah’s never gonna be able to love that baby the way that she wants to, the way that she loved him when she carried him and nurtured him for nine months, especially when they were trapped. She was his only protector. You know, I — I don’t even know how you cope.

Devon: Yeah, I don’t, either. And now, with mariah leaving, it’s got abby feeling guilty about loving her own child. And she’s having to deal with this still without her husband.

Amanda: You know, you are doing an awful lot of worrying about how this is affecting abby and mariah. But I want to know how this is affecting you. You told me about dominic’s birth. But how do you feel now? You know? You’re gonna get to spend time with him as his godfather.

Devon: Yeah.

Amanda: Yeah.

Devon: It’s — it’s confusing ’cause, you know, it felt good to stand up there in front of everybody and to — to commit to always being there for that little boy. It felt right. But it also felt strange.

Amanda: How so?

Devon: Because I’m — I’m his father. I’m — I’m dominic’s biological father, but I’m not his legal father.

Amanda: Well, as per the agreement, he will always know who are you. You’re his family. So dominic and you will be connected forever.

Devon: I know that. I do. But…I’m not gonna be the one that he calls “dad.” What does that say about me, that I wish that I could have that?

Amanda: It says that you care deeply about your friends and their child. And even though you know that you will never hear him call you “dad,” you also know that you gave him your whole heart. He’s so lucky to be so fiercely loved by you.

Abby: You were so good at your baptism, hmm? You must have felt so safe and loved. But why wouldn’t you? You were surrounded by all of your family, celebrating your spiritual beginning. Well, not all of your family. I miss your dad so much. But you — you haven’t even gotten to meet him. So you don’t know how to miss him. Maybe that’s a good thing. And now that I think about it, you probably really miss mariah. You two spent so much time together. And I am forever grateful to her for protecting you and bringing you into this world.

[ Exhales heavily ] Wow. The two of you were locked in that room, and you were the only person that she could talk to. That must have been so hard for mariah. We have to do something to help her through this. Oh, uh, maybe with some time, maybe she can be [Groans] A part of our lives, just like we planned. Mariah’s bracelet. She must be going crazy looking for this. I’m gonna call her.

[ Bottle thuds ]

[ Sighs ] No. She said she needed some time and space. So, if that’s what she needs, that’s what I’m gonna give her.

Mariah: You know, besides bowie, it was you that kept me sane while I was abducted. Coming home to you was the one goal that kept me from giving in to all the fear, all the loneliness that I was experiencing. I even sang some of your songs to the baby.

[ Both laugh ] Not as well as you, of course, but…it calmed me down. I think it calmed him down, too. I just hope he didn’t think i was too pitchy.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: I’m sure he loved it.

Mariah: I even had a dream that you came and rescued me. It was so real.

Tessa: I’m glad that I could be a source of comfort and sanity this time. Usually it’s the other way around. Maybe we’ve found the perfect balance.

Mariah: I think you’re right. I think that’s exactly what this means.

Tessa: [ Breathes deeply ]

Here’s lisa…

[ Music plays ]

Amanda: What’s all this?

Devon: This is a celebration.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ] What are we celebrating exactly?

Devon: Well, to start, you are opening up a new law firm, and I think that’s pretty special.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ] Yes, that is something to celebrate.

Devon: Right?

Amanda: Yes.

Devon: Thought so.

Amanda: Two?

Devon: Well, I was hoping there’d be a two…

[ Bottle thuds ] …Because I, uh — I’ve realized that you’re absolutely right. We are each other’s safe place. I’ve been really confused about my feelings lately. And you’ve just been nothing but supportive and understanding of me, completely, almost like you can really see me, like you can see my heart.

Amanda: You can see my heart, too.

[ Chuckles ] You know, I don’t know where i would have been without you during all my family drama.

Devon: Well, I know we’re both going through some uncertain times right now. But we’re also both helping each other navigate through it. And I really don’t know where I’d be without you. So, I was hoping that, since you were planning on putting some roots down here, that maybe you were tired of staying in that hotel room. And, uh — I don’t know — maybe you’d want to move in here with me.

Mariah: You, bowie, are gonna have the best baby book ever. It’s gonna be three pages at least dedicated to the time that you were kidnapped in utero.

Devon: I am in awe of you and how well you’ve taken care of yourself and this baby through this whole ordeal, mariah. Okay? You’re amazing. Okay, let’s bring this little guy into the world.

Abby: You are my best friend and my cheerleader, and you are this baby’s fierce protector.

Mariah: How does he look?

Abby: Oh, he’s perfect.

[ Chuckles ] He has the cutest little fingernails.

Mariah: You know, I was not sure that we were gonna make it out of there, and, you know what, we probably wouldn’t have if it weren’t for you. You kept me sane in there. You know that? I can’t believe how natural it feels, holding you. Do you want to know a secret? Yeah? Do you? I wish I could breastfeed you. Yeah. But I can’T. It’s in the contract I signed.

[ Sniffles ] Don’t worry, okay? ‘Cause that’s my milk. That’s my milk that you’re eating right now. It’s gonna make you strong. It’s gonna make you healthy.

Mariah: Tessa. Tessa!

Tessa: What? What’s wrong?

Mariah: Nothing. But I think I have finally figured out a way to heal and move on.

Victor: Well, now, I guess there is no such thing as too many gifts. Such a joyous occasion.

Nikki: Well, I’m glad to hear you say that because there’s one more thing I need to do for me.

Victor: What?

Nikki: Well, I ordered these baby-themed cupcakes as a surprise for Abby. Do you think you’d be able to pick them up and then meet me at the church?

Victor: Pick up cupcakes, where? Where are they?

Nikki: At society. Their pastry chef has been sworn to secrecy.

Victor: You’re asking me, a busy business tycoon, to drive over to society to pick up cupcakes?

Nikki: Would you?

Victor: If you’re sweet with me, I will. I’ll do it for you and for Abby.

Nikki: Well, thank you. I’m always sweet. Anyway, I just thought it would be something festive to add to the day.

Ashley: And I’d better get out of here if I’m gonna get over to the chapel and check on everything before the ceremony.

Abby: Mom, I can do that.

Nina: No, there’s no messing with the plan.

Ashley: Sweetie, that’s right, I got it handled, okay? But I want you to do me two favors before I leave — take a deep breath. [Breathes deeply] And then get rid of your phone.

Abby: My security blanket? No way.

Ashley: Listen, we have all played our parts. It’s gonna go perfectly, so please focus on your beautiful son and this wonderful day.

Nina: Listen to your mother. It’s time to relax and enjoy.

Abby: Well, thank you both so much. I don’t know what I would’ve done without you.

Nina: Well, everything would still be perfect, but you’d be a whole lot more frazzled.

Ashley: That sounds about right.

Lily :Well, I have a meeting in the conference room, so you can use my office — if you both can be civil.

Billy: Oh, I will if he will.

Lily: And just remember, please, at the end of the day, what really matters here is that you both care about Victoria and want what’s best for her.

Ashland: That’s a smart woman. You should listen to her. Victoria’s best interests should come first. And that’s why I told my story earlier, because I wanted to take the pressure off of Victoria, to let those that are most important and that matter most to her, let them know that there’s no reason for them to worry about my past. I told the Newmans everything there is to know. And you, as the father of her children, you were included, as a courtesy. Now, I would think you might want to reciprocate that courtesy and back off. Stop digging where you have no business digging.

Billy: I’m aware that you don’t hear this word very often — no. It’s not gonna happen. I’m not gonna do that because i am certain there’s a whole hell of a lot more to learn about you.

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

Victor: How are you?

Nate: Always a pleasure.

Victor: Yeah. [Cellphone vibrates] You know, there ought to be a special place in hell for people who cancel appointments at the last minute. Damn it.

Nate: Oh, wow, would’ve been nice if you were informed before you came here.

Victor: Yeah. Well, it’s not a total waste of time. I ran into you, so there’s something I’d like to discuss with you. Please have a seat.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: Hi.

Victor: What in the world?

Nikki: Well, now, I know i went a little overboard, but it’s not every day that we have a baptism in the family, so I’m allowed.

Victor: Did you buy the whole damn store or what?

Nikki: Hardly. But I just have to tell you, the first time I saw our son, I got the most incredible feeling. I looked in his face and I saw the man he’s gonna be, the man who’s gonna continue and extend that special magic of his father. I’m just so grateful that we gave each other a son. Our son, nicholas christian newman. And I just feel that we’ll always be together in him, for future generations.

Victor: Well, now, I guess there is no such thing as too many gifts. Such a joyous occasion.

Nikki: Well, I’m glad to hear you say that because there’s one more thing I need to do for me.

Victor: What?

Nikki: Well, I ordered these baby-themed cupcakes as a surprise for abby. Do you think you’d be able to pick them up and then meet me at the church?

Victor: Pick up cupcakes, where? Where are they?

Nikki: At society. Their pastry chef has been sworn to secrecy.

Victor: You’re asking me, a busy business tycoon, to drive over to society to pick up cupcakes?

Nikki: Would you?

Victor: If you’re sweet with me, I will. I’ll do it for you and for abby.

Nikki: Well, thank you. I’m always sweet. Anyway, I just thought it would be something festive to add to the day.

Victor: So nice of you to do that, okay? I just wish that my son-in-law were here.

Nikki: I know. We’re all praying for his safe return.

Victor: He wasn’t here for the birth of his boy. Now he’s not gonna be here at the baptism of his boy. I guess his son will lay eyes on his father when he is in preschool.

Nikki: Oh, now, I know you’re frustrated. So am I. But this is an important day for our family, so I’m gonna try not to get mired down in negativity.

Victor: Well, then you’re a better person than I am.

Nikki: The point is, baby dominic has devon, he has his grandfather, several uncles — he’s gonna be just fine.

Victor: [ Sighs ] Well, sweetheart, I’m concerned about abby, you know? I mean, where is chance?

Abby: Okay, I think that’s everything — music, flowers.

Ashley: And I’d better get out of here if I’m gonna get over to the chapel and check on everything before the ceremony.

Abby: Mom, I can do that.

Nina: No, there’s no messing with the plan.

Ashley: Sweetie, that’s right, I got it handled, okay? But I want you to do me two favors before I leave — take a deep breath.

[ Breathes deeply ] And then get rid of your phone.

Abby: My security blanket? No way.

Ashley: Listen, we have all played our parts. It’s gonna go perfectly, so please focus on your beautiful son and this wonderful day.

Nina: Listen to your mother. It’s time to relax and enjoy.

Abby: Well, thank you both so much. I don’t know what I would’ve done without you.

Nina: Well, everything would still be perfect, but you’d be a whole lot more frazzled.

Ashley: That sounds about right.

Nina: I’m gonna go get ready.

Ashley: Okay, see you. And I will see you at the baptism.

Abby: Okay.

Ashley: Okay. Hi. I see you’re back.

Jack: Surprised seeing you here. Hey.

Abby: Uncle jack, hi!

Jack: I know everyone’s meeting at the church, but i wanted to come by and see how you were doing.

Abby: Uh, I am — I’m good. A tad bit overwhelmed, but good.

Jack: I’d b weren’T.

Abby: [ Gasps ] Thank you. Gosh, can you believe this? After everything we’ve been through, this is actually happening. I mean, it’s finally sinking in. I am christening my baby boy today. It’s a miracle for me on so many levels.

Jack: I am thrilled for you. And I can see already what a wonderful mother you’re going to be.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: So…how are you feeling about the christening? No judgment, just unconditional love and support.

Mariah: I am feeling much better about things.

Tessa: Yeah?

Mariah: I’m excited for the ceremony. And I am really, really happy that I am bowie’s godmother. I think I’m gonna keep calling dominic that, you know? My mom was right, I can have a nickname for him.

Tessa: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there’s nothing wrong with that.

Mariah: It can be a part of our special bond. And that’s how I see being a godmother. Someone who takes special interest in the child’s wellbeing. Part of the circle of people that love him and want him to grow up happy and healthy.

Tessa: Well, that is a great way to look at it.

Mariah: You seem relieved. Were you concerned that I wasn’t gonna be able to handle today?

Devon: Moses! Got some coffee and bagels, man.

Amanda: Well, that sounds delicious.

Devon: Now, when did you get back?

Amanda: While you were at the market.

Devon: Oh, yeah?

Amanda: Mm-hmm.

Devon: Where’s moses at?

Amanda: Well, he’s already left for school, so I don’t know if you want to come and join me in bed, welcome me home from my trip? Or maybe you’re too hungry to, uh — alright, then.

[ Both chuckle ]

Victor: Well, now, if it isn’T…

Ashley: Hi.

Victor: Goodness. I didn’t expect to see you till the christening.

Ashley: I know. Well, I’m on my way to the chapel to make sure everything is set up properly.

Victor: Uh-huh. Well, I’m on a secret cupcake mission, you know, to society.

Ashley: Must be pretty amazing cupcakes.

Victor: Oh. Special occasion.

Ashley: It’s momentous, when you think of everything that had to happen to get here. I mean, the journey that our daughter’s been on.

Victor: Yeah. Certainly have thrown a lot of obstacles at her.

Ashley: Oh, she’s overcome every single one of them. You know why? She wasn’t gonna let anything stand in the way of her dream.

Victor: Because she’s a very determined young lady, and i wonder who she gets that from.

Ashley: I don’t know.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: I’m so proud of her. And chance, too, the way that he willingly accepted help from mariah and devon. He wanted to make this happen for abby.

Victor: Yeah, I give him that.

Ashley: You know, he’s the kind of a man that you dream your daughter would end up with, but I just really wish we could bring him back.

Victor: To be honest with you, I did admire that, but right now, it’s getting a little bit too much. I mean, he has other obligations and duties that take precedence. He has to raise his child. To hell with his assignment, it’s gone on too long.

Ashley: Yeah. You know what? You’re not gonna get an argument from me on that one.

Victor: What do you think if you and I put our heads together and do something about it?

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Devon: I am so happy to hear that you had fun with your mom and your sister. Sounds like you guys are making some real beautiful memories together.

Amanda: Yeah, it was great getting to know them and understand them better, especially without all the drama to contend with. It was serene and relaxing. Well, until yesterday.

Devon: Why, what happened yesterday?

Amanda: Naya got a call from her doctor. He got some results back from tests that he had taken before she left town.

Devon: Was it bad news or…?

Amanda: My mother has atrial fibrillation. She had no idea, and it’s extra hard on her with, you know, sutton’s trial coming up. It’s double whammy, and everything is just so stressful.

Devon: I could only imagine.

Amanda: Yeah, so I want to make sure that I find her the best doctors, get her the best possible care.

Devon: Well, you know that i can help you doing that, any way that I can.

Amanda: Thank you.

Devon: Of course.

Amanda: I appreciate that. Okay, well, enough about me. What’s going on with you? How’s the baby?

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Dominic?

Amanda: Mm-hmm.

Devon: Dominic is, uh… well, he’s great. He’s really great. I feel like he’s already getting big. I don’t want to brag, but i might be some kind of a baby whisperer, ’cause the other day, he was crying and crying, and no one was able to calm him down except for me.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: So…

Amanda: Well, I am not surprised because you always know exactly how to make me feel better.

Devon: I try.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: You know today’s the baptism, right?

Amanda: Yes, I know. You were telling me. It’s so fast.

Devon: I know. And you’re obviously invited to go, but I understand completely if you don’t feel up to it.

Amanda: I would love to go. Being a part of something positive and life-affirming right now, that would be soothing to my soul. And I know how important it is to you to be his godfather.

Jack: So, how is mariah doing?

Abby: Oh, well, she would like us to believe that she’s doing okay, but, gosh, this whole thing has been so traumatizing for her, and i think she’s really struggling. And tessa just confirmed that when I spoke to her.

Jack: Yeah, I’m not surprised to hear that. She asked for an extension of her leave-of-absence. It’s not like her.

Abby: She told me about that. She’s not herself right now.

Jack: I told her to take as much time as she needed to heal.

Abby: You know, those weeks leading up to the birth, they were supposed to be joyous ones, but instead, she was isolated, she was locked in a room. I mean, she had no idea who kidnapped her or what they intended to do with her or the baby.

Jack: Mariah is a survivor. She has a great support system all around her and a mother who is a professional counselor.

Abby: Well, yes, mariah is incredibly strong. I just think it’s gonna take some time, and she’s not there yet.

Jack: I get that.

Abby: Last night, I invited mariah and devon to come over and help me interview some potential nanny candidates, and I found a very strong choice, so I hired her on the spot. And I’m just hoping it’s gonna give mariah some relief, knowing that dominic’s gonna be in good hands when I can’t be with him.

Jack: Yeah, I’d like to think it would help her, having that burden lifted.

Abby: Yeah, this way, she can just focus on herself and she get through this nightmare.

Jack: Well, hopefully, she’ll come back to jabot. I’m not gonna pressure her at all, but I think it would do her a world of good.

Abby: That’s what it’s gonna take to get mariah through this — having something to focus on.

Mariah: I get why you would be worried, especially after i told you that there was a tiny part of me that blamed abby for what stitch did to me. And I just — I hate that I have those thoughts.

Tessa: Give yourself a break. You went through hell. Stuff is bound to come up.

Mariah: I suppose.

Tessa: I am glad that you are able to confide in me, tell me what’s really going on with you. Can you keep it up?

Mariah: I just felt like i was drowning. And that’s why I was having those irrational thoughts, and there’s like a million emotions coming into my head all at once. I mean, there was tension and fear and resentment and anger, and then you tangle it all up with giving birth to this innocent little baby, and just the things that were going on in my head… but I’m better. Okay? Bowie getting christened is amazing, and abby asking me to be the godparent, I will admit, I was a little thrown at first, but now it’s like I have an official role in his life, so it’s kind of perfect.

Tessa: Yeah, well, I think you are gonna be the coolest godmother ever. I can’t wait to see you in action.

Mariah: Me too, I can’t wait.

Tessa: Well, we should head to the chapel soon. Refill for the road?

Mariah: Yeah, absolutely.

Abby: Hi.

Abby. And the godparents. I’d like to welcome you all to the baptism of abby and phillip chancellor’s son. Unfortunately, phillip couldn’t be with us today. We thank him for his continuing brave service to our country. We’ll hold him in our hearts and keep him in our prayers. This child truly is a gift from god. Whenever I’ve spoken to abby on the subject, the joy on her face is clear to see. What name do you give your child?

Abby: Dominic. Dominic phillip newman abbott chancellor.

What do you ask of god’s church for dominic?

Abby: Baptism.

In presenting your child for baptism, you’re accepting the responsibility to raise him in the practice of our faith. It will be your duty to bring him up to keep god’s commandments, as christ taught us, by loving god and our neighbor. Do you clearly understand what you’re undertaking?

Abby: I do.

Mariah and devon, you’ve accepted the sacred responsibility of assisting abby and phillip in their duty as christian parents. You will, through your word and your example, help raise dominic to be a caring, faithful member of his community. Do you clearly understand what you’re undertaking?

Devon: I do.

Mariah: I do.

Dominic, the church welcomes you with great joy. In its name, I claim you for christ our savior. Eternal god, as we baptize with water, baptize us with the holy spirit, that what we say will be your words and what we do may be your works. Dominic phillip newman abbott chancellor, I baptize you in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit. This child of god is received into the holy church. See what the father has given us, that we are called children of god. My dear brothers and sisters, let us ask our lord jesus christ to look lovingly on this child, on his parents and godparents, that they undertake their sacred duty with faith and love. Join me in welcoming the newest member of our holy family.

Abby: Dominic! I am so proud of you. You were so good at your baptism.

Devon: Yeah, he didn’t make a peep at the chapel.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Nina: That’s a lovely ceremony. It was simple and perfect.

Ashley: It was so moving, seeing the three of you up there pledging to give dominic his best possible future.

Nikki: He is the living embodiment of genoa city’s four most prominent families, and of course, I include the winters in that.

Victor: Yes.

Devon: Oh, thank you very much.

Tessa: No pressure.

[ Laughter ]

Abby: Well, I promise chance and I are gonna raise him to be down-to-earth and humble, just like his godparents. I have to say, I feel so blessed to have you in my life and for you to be dominic’s godparents. I’m forever grateful.

Victor: May I suggest we have a toast? To my newest grandson, dominic.

To dominic. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Amanda: Thank you.

Abby: You’re welcome.

Ashley: Hey.

Abby: Oh!

[ Laughter ]

Victor: You know, sweetheart, I remember when you were born. It was very unexpected. And you were ready. There was no going back. That was it.

Ashley: That’s because she wanted to be here in time for the holidays.

Abby: Hey, you know me, I’ve always been a planner.

Ashley: [ Laughs ]

Victor: I rushed your mother to the hospital. Fortunately, I was there. And then the nurse handed you to me. I was the first one to hold you.

Abby: I love that story.

Devon: I got to hold dominic right after he was born, and that’s a moment that I’ll treasure for the rest of my life.

Nina: I am so grateful that you and abby were there, that everything turned out so well. I know chance is gonna be overwhelmed when he hears what you went through to bring his son into the world. And mariah’s incredible bravery.

Mariah: Oh, well, you do what you’ve got to do.

Nina: I know that if it was in his power, chance would be here for this very special day. He knows better than anyone how important it is to be surrounded by love. Whether or not those people are blood relatives.

Nikki: Ah, that is so true.

Ashley: Aww. Well, honey, as you know, your aunt traci can’t be here to help us celebrate, but on the phone last night, she reminded me of your christening and just how smitten our father was with you. Right, jack?

Jack: Oh, yeah, if dad could be here, he would be so incredibly proud, as would neil.

Devon: Yeah. Neil was abby’s godfather.

Amanda: Oh, wow. I mean, the more I hear about your family connections, the more in awe I am of all of you.

Abby: Actually, nate’s mom, olivia, is my godmother. Yeah, my mom and olivia were sorority sisters.

Ashley: Yeah, still very dear friends to this day.

Abby: And I’m just so thankful that my good friend is dominic’s godmother.

Mariah: Oh, I was honored to be asked, and the ceremony was incredibly special.

Abby: Well, you always have an important role in my son’s life. As you should.

Mariah: That means a lot. Um, I’m just gonna — just gonna go.

[ Glass shatters ] Oh, my god!

Abby: Oh, my gosh.

Devon: It’s okay.

Mariah: I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.

Abby: He’s a light sleeper today.

Mariah: Oh, gosh.

Abby: No, it’s okay.

Mariah: I’m such a klutz. I just — it — and now there’s a mess and then the baby’s upset. I’m so — abby, I am so sorry.

Abby: It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s okay.

Tessa: Hey, hey. We’ll be right back. Come on.

Abby: Mommy’s here. It’s okay, mommy’s here. It’s alright.

[ Dominic crying ]

Mariah: Oh, my god. What is wrong with me?! I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

Tessa: Hey, hey, first of all, you don’t have to apologize for anything. Do you hear me?

Mariah: I thought I could do this. I tried. I really, really tried, but they’re telling all these stories, like bowie is already a part of their lives, and their efforts to include me, it just made everything worse.

Tessa: Oh, honey, I —

Mariah: I can’t even be around the baby without my heart shattering into a million pieces.

[ Sighs ] I don’t think I can do this. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Dominic should sleep for a while now, knock on wood.

Victor: Why did mariah overreact this way?

Abby: The truth is, there’s still a lot of emotional fallout from the kidnapping. It’s a struggle.

Victor: I guess you’re right.

Jack: The best thing we can all do is show mariah as much love and support as we possibly can.

Ashley: I agree. And to that end, I think we should get some coffee and enjoy these cupcakes. Right? And the party. Because the last thing that mariah needs is to come in and see us all dissecting her behavior.

Nikki: You’re absolutely right.

Ashley: Hey.

Abby: Hi.

Ashley: You alright?

Abby: Yeah, yeah. I’m okay. You know, I’m handling a lot right now, but I think I’m doing it well. And I can feel a lot of different emotions all at once. Love for my beautiful baby boy and concern for mariah and chance.

Ashley: Glad to hear it.

Abby: Yeah. And yeah, all of this would be easier if my husband were here and I didn’t have to handle everything alone, because, yes, it’s exhausting, but, no, I know he is doing everything that he can to get back to us and me worrying is not gonna make him come home any faster.

Ashley: Honey, I’m very proud of you. I’m very proud of how you’re handling all this turmoil.

Abby: Thank you. Gratitude helps. I’m grateful for my friends and my family. Having nina has been amazing. I mean, she’s peeled me off the ceiling I don’t know how many times.

Ashley: I hope you tell her that a lot.

Abby: I do.

[ Chuckles ]

Ashley: Good.

Abby: Every day. And I’m so thankful for you and dad.

Devon: You get some air? You feel okay?

Mariah: Yeah.

Abby: I hope you’re okay.

Victor: My sweet love, it was a wonderful day. Very special day. Now, you get some rest, okay?

Abby: Thank you. And, nikki, thank you so much for the cupcakes. They were delicious.

Nikki: Oh, you’re very welcome. Congratulations again on your son’s baptism.

Abby: Thank you.

Victor: Bye, sweetheart.

Jack: Hey, we’re gonna head out, too.

Ashley: Yes, I will talk to you tomorrow.

Abby: Okay, yeah. I love you. Love you.

Ashley: And I love him.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Hey, chin up. Everything’s gonna be better. Just have patience.

Abby: Yeah.

Nina: Okay, I’m just gonna be in the kitchen if you need me, alright?

Abby: Okay.

Devon: Hey, I’m gonna meet up with you in a bit. I just want to stay behind and make sure mariah’s okay.

Amanda: Oh, yeah, I totally understand.

Devon: Okay.

Amanda: Okay, let me just say goodbye to abby.

Devon: Yeah, yeah.

Amanda: I just wanted you to know that your son is precious.

Abby: Thank you so much. And I am so happy that you’re a part of his special day.

Amanda: Oh, I really appreciate you allowing me to be a part of it.

Abby: Of course.

Amanda: Have a good day.

Abby: You too.

[ Sighs ]

Devon: [ Sighs ] I’m sorry that today didn’t go the way you hoped.

Abby: Oh, it’s no one’s fault. I mean, mariah can’t help the way that she feels. But I really feel like I have done everything to try to make things better for her.

Devon: I know you have, and i know you’re worried about her. I am, too.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Mariah: Um…

Devon: What’s going on?

Mariah: Tessa and I are moving out. We’ll back for the rest of our stuff at another time. And I’m gonna keep pumping and storing milk so that it’s available for the baby whenever you need it. I can see that this is a shock. And I’m really sorry, I just… I can’t stay here anymore. Is now a good time for a flare-up?

Nikki: You were quiet driving home.

Victor: Yeah. You know why? I just can’t help being concerned about abby standing alone at the baptism. Where the hell is her husband?

Nikki: I know we’re all anxious for him to return.

Victor: I mean, she does everything alone, poor girl.

Nikki: And has risen to the occasion beautifully.

Victor: Yeah, she has, but nevertheless, it can’t be easy for her. That are being brought up now.

Jack: But you’re also feeling uneasy about how all of this is going to affect abby and your new grandchild.

Abby: I am not upset about the party. I’m really not, and, well, you and tessa, you agreed to live here for a few months, at least. I mean, you’re — you’re part of our family. And as far as I’m concerned, nothing has changed.

Mariah: For you. Nothing’s changed for you. I told myself that I could do this, that I was gonna be the best surrogate. Be a part of the baby chancellor crew, and I tried. I wanted so badly to make your dream come true. A dream that I had never even allowed myself to dream. But then I gave — I gave birth to that baby, and just… everything changed. I changed.

Abby: Okay. Look, I was just talking to devon about this. I mean, there are a lot of emotions going around here, and, um… look, I want to help you. Look, we want to help you. We want to make it better. I mean, I am forever grateful to you.

Devon: Yes.

Abby: Anything you need, i can do. I’ll do it.

Mariah: I know, I know. I know that, abby. You say it constantly. But there is nothing that you can do that’s gonna make this easier for me.

Abby: Then what would?

Mariah: I was the one who carried that child. And I was the one who talked to him while he was still inside me, and I told him and promised him that I was gonna keep him safe. And I am not saying any of this to hurt you. That is the last thing that i want to do, but I cannot stay here and pretend that this isn’t killing me. Not anymore. I just — I can’T. I can’t step back and watch — watch you… I know that this what we agreed to. I know that this is how it’s supposed to be, but I cannot be here day in and day out because it hurts so bad. It physically hurts because, as crazy as this sounds, all I want to do is be his mother. I want to be the one to hold him and to feed him and to quiet him when he cries. It’s bowie. That’s my bowie.

[ Crying ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Sniffles ] Which is why I can’t stay here anymore. I order my groceries online now.

Jack: Since she became jabot’s new marketing director, I’ve gotten to know mariah pretty well. She’s grown professionally and personally, and this was a truly selfless act on her part to carry this child.

Ashley: Jack, nobody’s debating that.

Jack: I’m saying this as much for myself as for you. Look, stitch put her through hell, but it’s gonna take some time, and she’s not just abby’s friend, she’s not just her surrogate. Since that little boy came into this world, she became part of this family. And looking after family, even when it’s challenging —

Ashley: Yes, I know. Abby’s been brought up to do just that, jack. That’s what we abbotts always do.

Victor: Abby has a new baby and an absent father. She doesn’t need to take care of mariah on top of that.

Nikki: I know that concerns you.

Victor: I just don’t like the fact that mariah is gonna be living in that same household. She’s emotionally very unstable. Who knows what’ll happen? It’s not good for either abby or the child.

Nikki: A child that mariah brought into this world.

Victor: Yeah, under very difficult circumstances, and obviously mariah is very traumatized by it.

Nikki: Well, darling, you were just speaking about the strength that abby has shown. If she could muster up just a little bit more strength and offer a caring hand to mariah, I mean, I can’t think of anything that would be more healing.

Victor: I love you.

Nikki: I love you.

Abby: Everything you said, I understand. I am — I’m so sorry that you’re going through this.

Mariah: Do you mind if I — if I say goodbye to dominic?

Abby: Sure, yeah, absolutely. Take all the time you need.

Mariah: [ Sniffles ] Hi. Okay, come here. We’re gonna go up. Yeah, that’s a good boy. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[ Sniffles ] Okay, come here. Hi, buddy.

[ Sniffles ] Hi, bowie. I have to say goodbye now. Okay?

[ Sniffles ] But you and me, we are always gonna be connected. We’re always gonna have a special bond like nobody else. And I know that there is gonna come a time when I’m stronger and I’m a little more together, and then I can come over here. I could be a part of your life and watch you grow. I need to keep my distance for now. As much as it kills me, as much as it breaks my heart, so I can get to that place. My bowie.

[ Sniffles ] Oh, my bowie. I love you so, so much.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Devon: I was hoping, since you were planning on putting some roots down here, I don’t know, maybe you’d want to move in here with me.

Mariah: I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy, but it is a path forward, the right one. I think we should have a baby of our own.

Ashland: $3 million.

Gaines: By the end of the day, and then I’ll be out of your life and you can die knowing that your secret is safe.

Victoria: So, you want to know how I’m dealing with ashland’s history? Well, I hardly think that’s an issue warranting a house call.

Nick: You know, if phyllis told me about some deep, dark secret that she was keeping from me and the rest of the world, i would have a problem with that.

Victoria: It really wouldn’t be that surprising. I mean, phyllis.

Nick: How are you not more bothered by this?

Victoria: Because nothing that ashland shared with our family is news to me, so I am definitely not in a state of shock. I should ask you how you’re feeling. I thought you were good with this big family discussion we had.

Nick: It was one revelation after another. I mean, he starts with the mysterious death of his mentor, and then the unexplained access to this fortune that allowed him to get his career started. And then he tells us that he literally erased his past and became somebody else. I mean, it’s a lot to digest, vick, but I’m not the one who’s marrying him.

Victoria: Well, I don’t love him any less, if that’s what you’re asking. And nothing and no one is gonna change that.

Lily: I mean, billy, ask yourself, if ashland were with anyone other than victoria, would you be this relentless? Would you care this much?

Ashland: I can answer that. No, he wouldn’t care a bit.

Billy: Don’t pretend to try and understand my motives.

Ashland: I’m sure your partner has brought you up to speed on what happened earlier.

Lily: Yes, he did.

Ashland: If it would be alright with you, I would like to spend a minute in private with billy, please.

Lily: Well, I have a meeting in the conference room, so you can use my office — if you both can be civil.

Billy: Oh, I will if he will.

Lily: And just remember, please, at the end of the day, what really matters here is that you both care about victoria and want what’s best for her.

Ashland: That’s a smart woman. You should listen to her. Victoria’s best interests should come first. And that’s why I told my story earlier, because I wanted to take the pressure off of victoria, to let those that are most important and that matter most to her, let them know that there’s no reason for them to worry about my past. I told the newmans everything there is to know. And you, as the father of her children, you were included, as a courtesy. Now, I would think you might want to reciprocate that courtesy and back off. Stop digging where you have no business digging.

Billy: I’m aware that you don’t hear this word very often — no. It’s not gonna happen. I’m not gonna do that because i am certain there’s a whole hell of a lot more to learn about you.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

Sharon: Hi, adam.

Adam: Hey, um…I’m about to break the news to connor, and, um, I’m a little nervous.

Sharon: Everything’s gonna be fine. Just keep it simple.

Adam: Right.

Sharon: And be direct.

Adam: Open and honest, got it.

Sharon: But if you need more support, I am here, but you know what? Everything is gonna be fine, okay? Good luck.

Adam: Alright, thanks. I’m gonna need it. What you got there?

Connor: Apples and carrots to feed the horses. And a cookie for me.

Adam: Nice.

Connor: Ready to hit the stables?

Adam: Uh, after we talk about some things. Why don’t you come sit with me?

Connor: It’s about mom, isn’t it?

Adam: Yes, it is.

Victor: Hey, doc.

Nate: Victor.

Victor: How are you?

Nate: Always a pleasure.

Victor: Yeah.

[ Cellphone vibrates ] You know, there ought to be a special place in hell for people who cancel appointments at the last minute. Damn it.

Nate: Oh, wow, would’ve been nice if you were informed before you came here.

Victor: Yeah. Well, it’s not a total waste of time. I ran into you, so there’s something I’d like to discuss with you. Please have a seat. Pain hits fast.

Adam: I wanted to talk to you today because I think that you are old enough to understand some things.

Connor: Like what?

Adam: Your mom and I, we’re not gonna be living together when she comes back to genoa city.

Connor: I thought something was wrong for a while, but i didn’t think it was this bad. Are you sure you can’t work it out? Maybe if you talk to mom some more and spend time together.

Adam: Yeah, I’m sorry, connor. It’s not gonna change anything.

Connor: Is it my fault? Did I do something wrong?

Adam: No, no, no, not at all. Okay? We are so proud of you and we’re still gonna love you just as much as we did when we were together.

Connor: Then why?

Adam: Sometimes people grow apart even when they try not to.

Connor: Then try harder! You can’t just give up on people. You weren’t around when I was little, for years. When you came back, you promised we’d always be together.

Adam: I know I did.

Connor: So you lied?

Adam: Look, some promises, connor, are just impossible to keep, and it’s — it’s not that simple.

Connor: You say I have to keep my promises, but you get to break yours? Why?

Adam: Connor, calm down, okay? Just listen to me.

Connor: Why should I?

Adam: [ Sighs ] You know what? Why don’t we get out of here, huh?

Connor: And go where?

Adam: We’ll go see a friend, and she will help us talk all about this.

Victor: I’ve got to say, my wife has the midas touch when it comes to convincing people to donate money to her favorite charities. In this case, the hospital, you know? I mean, I don’t know how she does it, must be her charm, her smile. You know that the new wing of the hospital will be equipped with the most modern surgical equipment.

Nate: Oh, well, she’s phenomenal. You know, between her connections and experience, I am floored. I have a lot to learn.

Victor: So I understand that you got ashland locke to donate some money, as well. What’s your impression of him?

Nate: Uh, you know what? We actually struck up a friendship.

Victor: Huh.

Nate: He’s even extended an invitation to me and elena to attend his wedding.

Victor: How nice is that?

Nate: Yeah, well, we’re looking forward to celebrating with the happy couple.

Victor: Yeah.

Nate: You know, the more i learn about ashland, the more i like him, especially now that i have more of a sense of the man behind the myth.

Victor: What’s your take on him?

Nate: Well, you know, i respect the grace he’s shown in the way he’s chosen to handle his illness, as well as its treatment.

Victor: Now, I understand that in spite of the treatment, his condition is terminal.

Nate: Well, I don’t know the details of his case, but the survival rate is very low.

Victor: Ooh.

Nate: With luck, he’ll be able to celebrate his one-year anniversary.

Victor: Really?

Nate: And I’m sure he’s willing to fight for that. Love is a very powerful motivator.

Victor: Yeah, it certainly is, isn’t it?

Nate: I wish victoria and ashland the best for however long they have together.

Victor: Yeah. So do I.

Nick: Look, nobody expects you to love your fiancé any less, but I am curious — did ashland’s story make you change your perspective in any way?

Victoria: Of course it has. How could it not? It’s made me admire him even more. I mean, to carry around these awful memories of an abusive and cruel father, it had to have been just unbearable, nicholas, and somehow, he managed to persevere and to thrive. He refused to let what had happened to him in the past define who he could be in the future, and I’m not just talking about his professional success, I’m talking about how he overcame the cycle of violence and he became this wonderful father to harrison.

Nick: Okay, he made a better life for himself. Good for him. But don’t you think it’s even just a little bit weird that he won’t tell you what his real name is? You know, the person he was before he became ashland locke?

Victoria: No. Not really.

Nick: Look, it’s my experience in life that, when there’s a secret, it usually leads to other secrets.

Victoria: Oh, come on, nicholas. Ashland just revealed something so private and personal today, and that’s still not enough for you.

Nick: No, it’s not.

Victoria: In fact, it’s probably made you more suspicious. You know what, nicholas? I have enough of a headache worrying about ashland tracking down billy and persuading him to back off.

Nick: Well, I didn’t come here to upset you.

Victoria: Good! That’s great. So if you really mean that, you will turn around and walk out, and we can pretend like this conversation never happened.

Billy: Your reluctance to come totally clean leads me to one conclusion — you’re hiding something. Something that could hurt victoria and, most importantly, my children.

Ashland: Whoa, whoa, whoa, there’s no logical reason for you to think that, not a shred of evidence to support your theory.

Billy: Call it intuition. I got a gut feeling. Now, you would’ve thought maybe that morsel of a story would’ve satisfied our curiosity, but it didn’t, not for me. It actually backfired, and it whet my appetite more.

Ashland: You’re wasting your time. All you are going to accomplish is causing more friction. Everyone has secrets they’d prefer stay buried. And how dare you presume to appoint yourself arbiter of what should or shouldn’t be revealed in another person’s life or past.

Billy: No, you’re right. No, whatever you fear most about your past, I guarantee, it’ll come back to bite you.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Or worse, cause collateral damage to innocent bystanders.

Ashland: Ah. Look at you, painting yourself out to be some sort of savior and me as the villain.

Billy: But you are, aren’t you? I mean, that’s the reputation you’ve cultivated your entire career.

Ashland: I certainly can’t deny that. The truth is, you definitely do not want me for an enemy.

Life…

Sharon: Anybody want some pink lemonade?

Adam: No, thanks.

Sharon: Do you mind if I join you? I heard that you got some difficult news today, connor.

Connor: You told her?

Adam: Sharon has helped you deal with issues in the past, and I was hoping that she would be able to help you again.

Sharon: You know, I’d like to try, at least — I mean, if you’re comfortable with it. Maybe I could help you and your dad just talk and, you know, say everything that you want to say and hear each other.

Connor: Can I ask something?

Adam: Of course. Anything.

Connor: Why do you always call her when there’s a problem?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Well, sharon is not only a friend, she is actually trained to deal with situations like this.

Connor: Hmm. I’ll bet there are lots of people trained to do what she does. Right?

Sharon: That’s true.

Connor: But dad chooses you over and over again. I bet mom wouldn’t like this, knowing we’re all together.

Adam: Why would you say that?

Connor: I heard mom talking to grandma about you and sharon. And I want to know what’s going on with the two of you. Is sharon the reason you and mom are breaking up?

Billy: What do you think your fiancée would say about you threatening me like that? Especially after you claim you’ve got nothing else of consequence to hide.

Ashland: I have no doubt that she would continue to stand by my side because victoria understands me and she respects what I’ve endured and what I’ve done to change my life, and she knows why.

Billy: Are you sure about that last part?

Ashland: You know, you might want to be more concerned with your relationship with victoria than with me, unless you want to completely alienate her, because you are well on your way, my friend.

Billy: Well, I’ll muddle my way through somehow. I always do.

Ashland: You know, I can only imagine how thrilled lily must be with you spending so much energy trying to undermine your ex’s engagement.

Billy: You leave lily out of this. This is between me and you.

Ashland: Doesn’t feel good when it hits close to home, huh? So why don’t you listen to me. You continue to dig into my past and invade my privacy — that will ultimately prove to be a futile endeavor. I think it would behoove you to keep both of your eyes open to the realities of the present and let go of the rest.

Billy: Or what? What could you possibly do to stop me?

Ashland: You don’t want to find out.

Nick: I’m not going anywhere because we’re not through. I don’t have an agenda here, and I truly want to believe that ashland doesn’t have any deep, dark secrets that are gonna come back and haunt your relationship.

Victoria: Well, just leave me alone. I can take care of myself.

Nick: Look, with ashland’s diagnosis, you’re gonna have some rough days ahead and you’re gonna want to hang on to as much love as you can for as long as you can, and I get that, and i want that for you.

Victoria: Thank you.

Nick: But something about this isn’t right. And I’m your brother, and that means I get to worry about you because that’s my job.

Victoria: I know, nicholas. I know that. I know this is all coming from a very good place.

Nick: It is, and for billy, too. I know that’s hard to believe ’cause he gets all loud and aggressive, but I know he cares about you. So with me and billy and mom and dad, we just want you to be treated the way you’re supposed to be treated by this man that you’re planning to marry. I hope you know that.

Victoria: Of course I do.

Nick: Now, mom and dad, they may have heard everything they need to hear from ashland to set their minds at ease, but I’m just not there. I do not understand why ashland hasn’t revealed everything about his past. I mean, especially to you, and if you’re being honest with yourself, you’d ask the same questions. “What is it ashland’s not telling me and why?” Vick, come on, it’s me. Talk to me. Like many people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis

Victoria: Alright. Maybe I have caught myself wondering if I should know more about ashland’s past.

[ Sighs ] If maybe there’s another shoe that’s gonna drop.

Nick: That’s not surprising after everything you’ve heard.

Victoria: I just hate feeling this way. I mean, why should it matter what happened decades ago? It doesn’t matter to me who ashland was. I fell in love with who he is. And, nick, I know him, in a way that none of you do. I know the man behind the name.

Nick: But you can’t be sure about that.

Victoria: Well, one thing that I can be sure of beyond a shadow of a doubt is that i blame all of you, especially billy, for inserting yourselves into my relationship and causing all of this doubt and distrust.

Nick: Alright, look, this isn’t anyone else’s fault, alright? You’re smart and you are strong willed, and nobody’s gonna influence your thinking. If you have doubts about this, it’s because you too must feel like there’s more to the story than locke’s admitting.

Victoria: You’re right. I just — I fought it because it felt like such a betrayal to the love that ashland and I share, but I do have some questions. I have so many questions.

Ashland: Could I get a sparkling water when you have a chance? Thank you.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Nate.

Nate: Hey. Don’t mean to overstep, but is everything okay?

Ashland: Oh, I’m fine. It’s just been a long and trying day. I had to talk about some things from my past with victoria’s family in one of those “full disclosure from the groom” kind of things. Old memories can be painful.

Nate: Sorry you had to go through that.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] In-laws. What are you gonna do?

Nate: I hear you. Well, I maybe have some news that’ll lift your spirits a bit.

Ashland: Oh?

Nate: I’ve been thinking about your request that I be your best man. And I’d be honored to accept.

Ashland: The honor is all mine. Thank you.

Adam: What happened between me and your mom is complicated. And I’m not gonna get into all the details, but I will answer your question honestly because i think you deserve that and i think that you are old enough to understand.

Connor: Okay, so tell me about you and sharon.

Adam: Sharon and I did have a romantic relationship years ago, but now we are just friends, and there have been times that your mother has struggled with that. But sharon is not the reason that your mom and I are not together anymore.

Connor: I don’t believe you. If that was true, why was mom talking about you two? It’s because you hurt her, didn’t you? She had a stroke and she needed you, but you weren’t there the way you should’ve been. Because of you, sharon.

Adam: Okay, alright. Connor, let’s just take a breath, okay?

Connor: No, you broke mom’s heart, both of you.

Adam: Connor, sto– connor, we’re not done here.

Connor: I want to be by myself. Just leave me alone.

Adam: Alright, I will give you a few minutes to cool down, but we are not done talking.

Sharon: I’m sorry.

Adam: Connor! Connor, where are you going? Connor!

Connor: [ Panting ]

Sally: Has anyone ever told you that you look like adam newman? I recognize you from a picture from adam’s office. Is there any chance your name is connor newman? I’m sally spectra. I work with your dad at newman media.

Connor: Oh, yeah. I’ve heard him mention your name.

Sally: You out here all alone? Does your dad know? Okay. Won’t push. Do you mind if I take a break from my run and sit here for a while?

Nick: You have questions about ashland. Let’s start there.

Victoria: You know, nicholas, I’m probably just getting cold feet.

Nick: Did you feel that way before the merger of newman and locke?

Victoria: No, no, because we had done our due diligence.

Nick: Which is something you can’t do with the man himself because he keeps everything under wraps.

Victoria: Nicholas, look, i really do appreciate your concern, but —

Nick: Vick, come on, let me help you.

Victoria: This conversation is over, and I would really appreciate it if you just kept this between us. I don’t want you repeating or acting on anything I told you. Promise me.

Ashland: Nick, I assume you’re here to follow up with victoria about what I told you about my history.

Nick: I had more questions for her.

Ashland: Alright, well, I’m gonna give you a little warning, like I gave billy. My past is nobody’s business but my own. Stay out of my life, okay? I shared what I did today with everyone to put an end to this crap.

Nick: I think you should calm down.

Victoria: Look, ashland has every right to defend himself. He shouldn’t have been put in this position in the first place. I mean, we’re gonna be family.

Nick: That’s what family does. We check on each other. I came over here ’cause I wanted to talk to you. I didn’t hurl any accusations. I didn’t make any demands. I was calm, unlike ashland. In fact, the person in this room who I think seems the most concerned about his past is ashland.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Nothing. Another dead end, which, to me, is very suspicious. It’s almost as if ashland didn’t exist until he met the woman that later became his mentor.

Lily: And once again, there could be a reason for that.

Billy: I really don’t see how it’s possible for anyone in this day and age to basically have no record of the first 20 years of their life, unless they are deliberately hiding it. Or maybe he’s destroyed those records.

Lily: Right, another hypothesis with nothing to back it up.

Billy: Yeah. Believe me. It’s frustrating as hell.

Lily: You’re not the only one here who is frustrated. You need to look at why this matters so much to you. Who cares if ashland is hiding where he came from?

Billy: Who cares? If that’s true, the man is a lie. Everything he’s done in his life is a lie, his whole entire empire. That is a big story, a story that people want to hear. Most importantly, victoria deserves to know that. I don’t need any more motivation than that. I’m not out to embarrass locke. I’m not out to cause him pain. I’m simply looking for the truth. And if it’s not news-worthy, then we don’t run it.

Lily: Which brings me to my next issue. I don’t think that your interest in this story is professional.

Billy: Okay, I see where you’re going, and I don’t like it.

Lily: If anyone but victoria were with ashland, would you care this much? How’d it go with ashland?

Billy: Well, I guess you could say it was an eye-opening encounter.

Lily: Details.

Billy: I think he came here to shut me down. And I think he knows that’s not gonna happen. The way he was acting gave me all new clarity.

Lily: Clarity about what?

Billy: He’s terrified that this is just the beginning, that whatever he’s hiding is about to be exposed.

Lily: Well, it’s hard to imagine a man like locke terrified of anything.

Billy: He threatened me.

Lily: Really?

Billy: Not directly, but his intention was clear, which means he’s desperate. Which means I’m onto something. This is the sound of an asthma attack…

Ashland: I’m so sorry that i stormed in like that and attacked your brother. He didn’t deserve that, and you certainly deserved better from me.

Victoria: I assume that you were on edge after your talk with billy. I warned you it wouldn’t go well.

Ashland: He did everything you predicted he would.

Victoria: Ashland.

Ashland: Believe me, I got my point across, too.

Lily: Billy, this is serious.

Billy: Yeah, I’ll be fine.

Lily: How do you know that? You don’t even know who locke really is.

Billy: I’m not afraid of him.

Lily: Well, maybe you should be.

Billy: The only people I’m worried about in all of this are victoria and my kids. But it is very clear to me that he is still hiding something. You still think it’s a mistake to keep investigating him?

Lily: Look, at this point, i can’t discount your suspicions, okay? Clearly, this goes beyond locke trying to keep his life private or not wanting to relive some past trauma. I understand why you want to continue the investigation, so I’m not going to ask you to stop.

Billy: But you want me to.

Nick: Hey, dad.

Victor: Hey, my boy. What brings you back here?

Nick: I wanted to ask you something.

Victor: Alright, go ahead.

Nick: When you said you heard enough from locke and that you were cool with his relationship with victoria, did you mean that or was it all for show?

Sharon: Connor looks good. He looks relaxed.

Adam: Yeah.

Sharon: Listen, I — I don’t think it’s best that I approach him, given his current mind-set.

Adam: Yeah, you’re probably right. Um…but thank you for all the help, sharon.

Sharon: Go talk to your son.

Adam: Connor, there you are. I see you met sally.

Connor: Yeah.

Adam: Thank you for hanging out with him.

Sally: He’s good company. He was telling me all about lacrosse. I learned a lot.

Adam: Yeah, he’s becoming a real expert on the sport.

Sally: I was just getting around to asking connor what was bugging him. Seems like something’s on his mind.

Adam: Well, sometimes bad news is hard to hear.

Sally: I get it. Sometimes you just want to blame the person who gave you the bad news when it’s not their fault at all.

Connor: Did that happen to you?

Sally: Can you keep a secret? This one time, I went to this really fancy party. I had this incredible dress. My hair looking flawless. My point is, I made somebody so mad at me that they dumped a whole bucket of ice on my head.

Connor: Really?

Sally: Yes, I was drenched in front of everyone.

Connor: You were?

Sally: Completely. My point is, I survived. And you will, too.

[ “The addams family” theme playing ]

Adam: Connor, you gave me a scare. You can’t ever do that again.

Connor: Sorry.

Adam: Look, I know this is hard for you, but we’re gonna work it all out.

Connor: I want to go home and call mom.

Adam: Okay. Okay, let’s do that. Just give me a second to talk to sally first, alright? Thank you for letting me know where he was and staying with him.

Sally: Yeah, no problem. He’s a cool kid. Look, I know this is none of my business, so I won’t bug you with questions.

Adam: Well, thank you.

Sally: But…if there’s anything I can do to help, I’m around.

Adam: Well, I appreciate that, but it’s a private family matter.

Sally: Say no more. See you back at the office.

Victor: To be frank with you, I feel that ashland locke is the kind of man who carries more than his share of pain, you know? As I told your mom, I almost feel kind of sorry for the guy.

Nick: But you don’t think he told us the whole truth, right?

Victor: No, of course not. But does that mean that I’m gonna unearth everything about his past? No.

Nick: Why does he get a pass?

Victor: Well, son, I’m partly moved to support the relationship with your sister is because I think he loves her. And I think it’s reciprocal.

Nick: Well, I’m not questioning his feelings for victoria. I’m questioning the holes in his origin story and how it affects her.

Victor: Have you spoken with her?

Nick: Yeah, I went by her place, and, you know, talked to her, just to kind of see how she took the news. She didn’t come out and say it, but I know she’s not as okay with the situation as she’s making it seem. Then ashland shows up and sees me there. He didn’t like that.

Victor: Really?

Nick: I don’t know why he’s got to keep his birth name a secret, but whatever the reason is, it’s got to be huge for him to want to make the man he once was disappear.

Victor: You just can’t let it go, can you?

Nick: I will never trust locke, not until I know the truth.

Ashland: I don’t want to spend time talking about billy or nick or anyone. I only want to think about you. And after this interminable day, how are you doing?

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Victoria: Ashland?

Ashland: Oh, it’s a text from nate. He’s agreed to be my best man.

Victoria: Oh, that’s wonderful.

Ashland: It’s nice to have good news for a change.

Lily: Billy, look, I am in this with you, okay? But just like you’re worried about victoria and the kids, I’m worried about you.

Billy: I can handle him.

Lily: Are you forgetting the stories about how locke has retaliated against people over the years? Look what happened with jabot when he found out that kyle had an affair with tara. I mean, he could’ve brought that company to its knees.

Billy: Lily, that is his true character, which means we have to keep investigating him.

Lily: Okay, we don’t know how he’s going to retaliate against you by you trying to dig up a past that he’s trying to keep buried. He could take this more personally than tara cheating on him. Who knows how he’ll respond when he’s been crossed?

Billy: I have a feeling we’re gonna find out.

Elena: Hey.

Lily: Hey.

Elena: Sorry I’m late.

Lily: Oh, I’m sure you have a lame excuse, like, you know, you were saving lives.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, it was a tough shift, emotionally and physically. I am wiped out.

Lily: Oh, we could’ve postponed the meeting until you had a chance to get some rest.

Elena: No, no, actually, this meeting is what got me through hours at the hospital. I’m really excited about askmdnow. I’ve been jotting down notes in my phone.

Faith: You heard about that?

Nate: Mm-hmm, he’s been talking about it. Thank you.

Faith: Oh, yeah, it should be fun. Did he tell you what he had planned?

Nate: Uh, he did.

Faith: It’s gonna be great. I’m really looking forward to going to that place. You know, the place.

Nate: Yeah, that’s not gonna work. Moses told me it was a surprise. You’re getting nothing from me.

Faith: I had to try.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ashland: So I left home and my abusive father. I cut all ties and I never looked back. At the time, I didn’t know if my dad would be glad to get rid of me or that he was gonna come after me. But I felt it prudent to take necessary precautions, so i changed my name, I moved around a lot, and I invented a new history for myself. I imagined that I had a very calm and loving and stable environment because that’s all i ever wanted. I mean, that’s all we ever want from our childhood, right? And I repeated this new story so many times it eventually felt real. Ian and mary locke were — were nurturing and supportive parents who would be so proud of what i had accomplished, if only they hadn’t passed away so tragically young.

Victoria: Ashland, are you okay?

Ashland: I’m fine. I’m fine. It’s just a little difficult. I haven’t told this story to anyone about my past before.

Victoria: His body is under a tremendous amount of stress right now. Dredging up these painful things, it’s very difficult for ashland. Surely everyone here, especially my parents, understand what it’s like trying to get away from a father who has failed you.

Nikki: Yes, of course we do.

Victor: Ashland, your story is not dissimilar to mine. Hope you understand why we had to check your background, hmm? And I hope you also understand why I am — as a father who grew up without parents — am so protective of my children and especially my daughter.

Ashland: I understand why her family is so insistent that she is in good hands.

Victoria: So now that you all know the whole story, I hope that will put an end to your questions — some of which have bordered on harassment.

Billy: Well, it’s a touching story. It really is, but it’s not exactly the whole truth, is it? I mean, we still don’t know how —

Victoria: You know, this is not a press conference, billy. Ashland is not being interrogated here. He’s sharing something painful about his past with us, not because he has to, but because he wants to put our minds at ease.

Nick: And because his original story doesn’t hold up.

Victoria: But he told you —

Victor: Victoria, we appreciate ashland’s candor, alright? But we still have questions.

Elena: Hey.

Lily: Hey.

Elena: Sorry I’m late.

Lily: Oh, I’m sure you have a lame excuse, like, you know, you were saving lives.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, it was a tough shift, emotionally and physically. I am wiped out.

Lily: Oh, we could’ve postponed the meeting until you had a chance to get some rest.

Elena: No, no, actually, this meeting is what got me through hours at the hospital. I’m really excited about askmdnow. I’ve been jotting down notes in my phone.

Lily: Okay, well, I love the enthusiasm, but I don’t want you to burn yourself out before we even get started.

Elena: [ Scoffs ] Don’t worry. I’m fine.

Lily: Okay, ’cause I happen to be very close to the chief of surgery at memorial, and I don’t think he’d be very happy if i run one of his best doctors into the ground.

Elena: Oh, it’s okay. I’m just a little tired, but that’s what they invented coffee for, right?

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Moses: Yes, mom. I know. Yeah, I’ll tell him. Love you, too.

[ Chuckles ]

Devon: Was that sofia?

Moses: Yeah, she said to say hello.

Devon: Tell her “what’s up.” You look like you got some good news.

Moses: The best. She said I could stay in genoa city.

Devon: She did? Nice, man!

Moses: At first, I was a little bit worried that she’d haul me back to new york because she was upset that I changed my mind about being a doctor.

Devon: Yeah.

Moses: But [Chuckles] It’s fine.

Devon: Nice, dude. Good for you, man.

Moses: Yeah. She even was a little excited that I’m gonna follow dad’s footsteps working at hamilton-winters. She said she always thought i had a good head for business.

Devon: Nice. Good head for business.

Moses: Yeah.

Devon: Alright. So you tell her that you’re gonna be focusing on the music side of the business?

Moses: Um, you know, that didn’t really come up.

Devon: Yeah, that’s what i thought.

Nikki: I agree with your father. Ashland revealed a very painful chapter of his life, but he had to have known that it would lead to more questions.

Ashland: Well, I assure you all that I am here to answer any question. I’m willing to subject myself to your scrutiny for victoria’s sake. And you don’t have to run interference for me. I can handle this. You do so much for me. Just let me do this one thing for you.

Victoria: Okay. The floor is all yours.

Ashland: So what is it that you would like to know?

Billy: Well, I think you should probably start —

Victor: Billy boy, this is my house. I ask the questions, alright? So, ashland, what happened to your parents?

Find your rhythm.

Moses: Here’s the thing.

Devon: Mm.

Moses: I didn’t specifically mention my interest in the music business to mom because it just wasn’t intentional.

Devon: Oh. So you accidentally didn’t tell her?

Moses: Yeah.

Devon: Uh-huh. That was our agreement, that you have to level with her about it.

Moses: I-I know. I will. Eventually. She got on a roll and she was just so excited by the fact that I got an internship at hamilton-winters. Means a lot to her, the fact that neil’s sons are working together at the same business that bears his name. She got choked up just talking about it.

Devon: Well, I mean, I’m sure she did. I understand that.

Moses: You do?

Devon: Of course. I feel the same way when I think about you working for the family business. It’s where you belong.

Moses: Thanks. And I just couldn’t bring myself to tell her that I’d be spending more time in the recording studio than looking at spreadsheets.

Devon: Mm.

Moses: Didn’t want to disappoint her.

Devon: Right.

Moses: You mad?

Devon: Uh, no, I’m not mad. I understand why you wouldn’t want to kill the mood.

Moses: Exactly. Yep.

Devon: Why you’d want to quit while you’re ahead.

Moses: No, unh-unh. I didn’t wimp out.

Devon: Uh-huh.

Moses: I swear. Okay, when the time is right, I’ll tell her. I just want to get some experience so I can talk to her about the specific stuff I’ve learned, and I know she’ll approve.

Devon: Okay. Alright, well, I think the odds are in your favor, and no matter what you end up choosing, neil would be very proud of you.

Moses: Thanks, bro.

Devon: Now, why don’t you get out of here? ‘Cause I know that there’s someone that you’re dying to share this good news with, and it ain’t me.

Moses: [ Chuckles ] Alright, I’ll see you, man.

Devon: Alright, see ya.

Faith: Dr. Hastings.

Nate: Hey, faith. How’s my all-time favorite patient doing?

Faith: Never better. My new kidney is crushing it.

Nate: Oh, good to hear.

Faith: Latte with almond milk?

Nate: Am I that predictable?

Faith: When it comes to coffee, yes.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Faith: If you’d like, I could whip up something new, surprise you.

Nate: No, you know what? Let’s not get too crazy. I will stick with my usual. It’s good to see you doing well and hard at work.

Faith: Yeah, I’ve almost saved up enough money to pay back the fine from when i wrecked my grandpa’s truck.

Nate: Good for you. I’m sure your parents are pleased that you followed through with that.

Faith: Yeah, I had to prove to them that I’ve learned from my mistakes and that I’m really going to change. And I kind of feel like I owe it to you and everyone else who helped save me to make good use of my second chance.

Nate: Well, it’s clear you’re making the most of it. And nick and sharon must be impressed enough that they eased up on your restrictions. I hear you’ve been spending a lot of time with moses.

Faith: Yeah, I don’t think i could’ve turned things around without him. He’s, like, the best possible influence and the best…friend. Yeah, he’s really just all-around the best.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] No arguments from me.

Faith: I really hope that you’re not disappointed that he decided that he didn’t want to be a doctor.

Nate: Oh, no, no, I just, um — I want moses to find something that makes him happy. And it looks like that’s gonna be music. And you. I hear you two have a big date coming up.

Faith: You heard about that?

Nate: Mm-hmm, he’s been talking about it. Thank you.

Faith: Oh, yeah, it should be fun. Did he tell you what he had planned?

Nate: Uh, he did.

Faith: It’s gonna be great. I’m really looking forward to going to that place. You know, the place.

Nate: Yeah, that’s not gonna work. Moses told me it was a surprise. You’re getting nothing from me.

Faith: I had to try.

[ Chuckles ]

Ashland: When I shut the door to my past, it was meant to be permanent. I was angry. For my father, obviously, but also for my mother. I was angry at her for not protecting me, for making excuses for that man, and for her own choices. She could stand there and look at me, 90 pounds of her, with a black eye and a split lip, and blame me for provoking him. That’s why I cut all ties. I severed as fast as I could. I wanted nothing to do with them. And I lost track of them. I avoided going to my hometown or anyone that came from there.

Billy: And they never reached out to you? Never once, not even when you made it big?

Ashland: No, billy. My mother and father, we didn’t run in the same circles, you see. They didn’t really keep up with the latest happenings on wall street, what was going on in the media world. Because even if they did, they probably wouldn’t have recognized me because I wasn’t the same scared, scrawny kid.

Victor: Well, ashland, once you were successful, did you have the desire to let them know about it, maybe even rub their noses in it?

Ashland: Well, the thought crossed my mind more than once, and then it was always followed up by another thought. They didn’t deserve any part of the success that I had earned in spite of them.

Nick: And you never looked into what became of them?

Ashland: I didn’t care. But when I got older and i started to understand the dynamics of abuse, I wanted to reach out to my mother. I wanted to let her know that i understood that she was scared and that she felt as helpless as I did. I wanted to forgive her. But it was too late ’cause she had died a few years before, as had my father.

Nikki: I’m sorry you never got the chance to reconcile with her.

Billy: If you did want to pay respect, where would you go do that? Are they buried somewhere? What’s the name on their headstone? You didn’t actually tell us their name. In fact, you haven’t told us your real name either.

Ashland: My god, you’re right. I didn’T. And I’m not going to.

Elena: This is exactly what i needed — just a jolt of energy.

Lily: Good.

Elena: Is that a new bracelet?

Lily: Yes, actually, it is.

Elena: Mm, I love it. From billy?

Lily: No, it’s from mattie. It was a thank-you gift for helping move her in to her new apartment in california.

Elena: Oh, she has great taste.

Lily: Yeah, thanks.

Elena: Is she all settled in?

Lily: She is, yeah, but, i don’t know, I worry about her. She’s like you, she’s an overachiever. And she’s at stanford, and there’s a lot of opportunities for her, so she kind of feels like she has to take advantage of all of them, you know?

Elena: Yeah, I totally get that. It’s so hard to say no.

Lily: I know. I knew you’d understand. But she’s very driven and focused, but also very shy, so she doesn’t really go out, you know? She doesn’t go to any parties.

Elena: I feel like that’s what all college students tell their parents.

Lily: No, I know, I know, but I believe her, I do.

Elena: Well, what about her academics? Is she happy with those?

Lily: Uh, yeah, but she has to pick a major soon, so I think that’s really stressful for her.

Elena: Huh. I remember hearing that she was thinking about law school. Is that still where her head’s at?

Lily: Well, I think that’s because I was facing charges, ’cause she also wanted to be a doctor as well, and either of those, I mean, you can pretty much, you know, get your undergrad in anything. So I think all the options for her are really overwhelming.

Elena: I remember being that age, just thinking that you have to have it all mapped out, and then you don’t realize till you’re a little older that there’s a little more flexibility with being an adult. You can kind of make it up as you go.

Lily: I know, that’s what i told her. I told her that, you know, i changed my career several times. You don’t have to have all the answers. I don’t know, I just wish she would ease up on herself and just have some fun, you know? It’s so important at that age.

Elena: Well, if you want me to talk to her about med school, just let me know. I’m available. Askmdnow is more than just a website, right?

Lily: Aww, thank you. That’s very sweet of you.

Elena: Of course. Us smart and shy girls have to look out for each other.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: As parents, i completely understand your concern that your future son-in-law’s past is so mysterious. That’s why I’m here. I felt I owed you the truth.

Nikki: But only part of it.

Ashland: Nikki, it wouldn’t serve any purpose to reveal my parents’ identities. They were miserable people and made bad choices, but I have no desire to see their names dragged through the mud.

Victor: Well, that is very generous of you. But, ashland, you have to understand, you know, our desire to know everything about your family we can. Otherwise, we don’t know you.

Victoria: You do know him, dad. He’s ashland locke. In the same exact way that you’re victor newman. You both chose to reinvent yourselves and you’ve both become wildly successful because of it.

Victor: Victoria —

Victoria: You of all people should understand.

Victor: We still have questions.

Victoria: Well, there shouldn’t be any. Ashland has lived a very public life for decades. That is track record enough for anybody. Why you need to know more painful things about his childhood, more than he’s already told you, is beyond me.

Nick: Because we don’t know anything about his early career, after he changed his name.

Ashland: Nick, you, your father, billy, and whoever else has gone over this history with a fine-tooth comb. There’s nothing illegal or nefarious here, and I feel the same way as victoria does. Enough is enough.

Billy: But it’s not. And you have an opportunity right now to tell us who you really are. Because if you don’t, I’m gonna find out anyway.

Ashland: That’s not gonna happen because I’ve taken the necessary steps to keep that information private.

Billy: Well, I think you underestimate me.

Ashland: And I think it’s the other way around. You see, to you, this story is something salacious to be put on your website as click bait, but for me, this is deeply personal and really painful. You see, billy, not all of us were fortunate enough to have john abbott for a father.

Billy: Okay, so am I supposed to feel guilty about having a loving family? Am I supposed to feel bad that i didn’t have a miserable childhood so I just let you off the hook? Is that it?

Ashland: I grew up in hell, and I’m done with it. You see, and I will be damned if I’m gonna revisit that so your sorry ass can sell some ad space.

Billy: You at least should’ve been honest with your future wife.

Victoria: Well, this is between ashland and me, billy. It’s none of your business.

Billy: So now you’re okay with your man hiding things? This is who you’re gonna lower your standards for?

Victoria: Oh, believe me, I’ve raised my standards considerably since you and i were together, and ashland makes me feel like I’m respected.

Billy: Okay, look, I’m just trying to find out who the guy really is, alright? And if you tell the truth, ashland, then there would be nothing to hide.

Victor: That’s enough. I suggest we all keep our voices down. You’re guests in the house, alright? All of you. So you will not be part of this if ashland and victoria had not invited you here. Alright? And by the way, the only reason you’re in this house is because you happen to be the father of her children. You’re not part of this family. You got that?

Billy: You telling me you’re satisfied with —

Victor: Don’t you raise your voice with a guest of ours. Is that clear?

Billy: You believe that story, victor?

Victor: No, what I believe is that we should support victoria. That’s it. That clear?

Victoria: Thank you very much. Now, I hope that we can put everything else behind us and focus on what really matters.

Here’s candice…

Moses: Hey.

Faith: Hi! Hungry? Thirsty? What can I get you?

Moses: You know, actually, i just came to see you.

Faith: Oh.

Moses: And to thank you.

Faith: For what?

Moses: Well, all the coaching. You taught me how to handle things with my mom. It paid off.

Faith: No way. She’s letting you stay?

Moses: Yeah, you guessed it.

Faith: That’s great! Oh! I’m so happy.

Moses: I’m so happy you’re happy.

Faith: Now when we go out, it’ll be an actual date and not a going-away party.

Moses: Yeah.

Faith: I was kind of dreading that.

Moses: So was I. And that’s why I haven’t scheduled anything yet. I hope you didn’t think I was blowing you off.

Faith: I knew you’d come through. And nate was just in here talking about it, so I took that as a good sign.

Moses: What? You’re telling me nate was in here blabbing about our date?

Faith: Don’t worry, I tried to pry information out of him, but he was onto me. His lips were sealed.

Moses: That’s good. I have everything lined up, so i don’t need him ruining the surprise.

Faith: This date is the kind of thing that needs things lined up?

Moses: Oh, absolutely. But I just need to make sure you’re free next weekend.

Faith: I’ll clear my calendar. But…

Moses: But what?

Faith: I don’t know if I can wait that long.

[ Chuckles ] The suspense is killing me.

Elena: It’s so different now with social media.

Lily: I know. I mean, I get in trouble with the internet, you know, when i was a kid, and it’s like I can only imagine what it’s like for them now, but —

Elena: Hey.

Lily: Hello.

Nate: Well, hello, ladies.

Elena: What a pleasant surprise.

Nate: Well, I just stopped by your place. I figured you got caught up at work.

Lily: Well, I mean, she’s still at work.

Elena: Yes, we’ve been brainstorming askmdnow.

Lily: Well, we started that way, and then we kind of got sidetracked when elena woke up. And, mr. Chief of surgery, you’re working this girl too hard. She’s probably gonna go from here to volunteer at the clinic.

Elena: I am not. I’m gonna go home and take a much-needed nap.

Lily: Well, no more double shifts for her. She’s gonna run herself into the ground.

Nate: Oh, no one wants that.

Elena: Lily, we don’t even joke about nate pulling strings for me because it wouldn’t be fair to anyone else, so if i have to work a double, I work a double.

Lily: Yeah, no, I understand. Billy and I have to also figure out that, you know, balance between personal and professional.

Elena: Yeah, but it’s a little different because you guys are co-ceos. It’s a bit trickier with nate and I because he’s my boss.

Lily: I get it, I get it, but I want you to maintain a work-life balance. Or in your case, a work-work-work-life balance because you have three jobs with your work at the clinic.

Elena: Don’t worry about me. I’m fine.

Lily: I know. Okay, well, I have to go. It was good to see you. I’ll see you later, and get some rest, okay?

Elena: I will.

Lily: Alright, bye, guys.

Nate: Bye-bye.

Elena: By the way, I wasn’t complaining about my schedule to lily. She just took it upon herself to protect me. I know if you have to schedule a double, you’re doing it because it’s absolutely necessary.

Nate: Okay, but has anyone at work been commenting about our relationship?

Elena: No, no one’s said anything directly, but there’s a feeling out there. People are a lot more careful around me. I guess it’s awkward being the boss’ girlfriend.

Nate: Well, I’m sure that’ll all go away once people see that I’m not going to abuse the power of my position.

Elena: Well, I certainly hope so.

Victoria: Come on. Sit down over there. Just sit down. You need to rest. You need to really just rest after that [Sighs] Stressful family meeting.

Ashland: Well, it was worth it. It was something that needed to happen.

Victoria: Well, I’m glad you think so. I was really impressed by the way you were able to delve into your painful childhood history. It was all for my sake. You know, I would’ve been totally fine if you refused to answer all of their questions.

Ashland: No, no, no, no, you are going to need your family’s support as we get closer to the wedding. You know, when I was younger, i might have gone with a “you and me against the world” attitude, but…I couldn’t put you in that position now.

Victoria: What do you mean?

Ashland: [ Sighs ] I’m not gonna be around forever. We know that. You family’s gonna be there for you when I’m gone, and you need them. I don’t want their attitude to be “thank god we got rid of that guy.”

Victoria: You’re so clinical about all of this.

Ashland: Well, it’s the best way for me to get through it. And it seemed as if your family was finally ready to put aside all their suspicions about my past. Now that I bared my soul.

Victoria: I think they saw you the way that I see you — strong, very resilient. Even after all of the emotional trauma that you’ve been through in your life, you still have the ability to — to feel things so deeply.

Ashland: What matters most is that they know how I feel about you.

Victoria: I think they all got that.

Ashland: Except in billy’s case, I don’t think that is going to work in our favor.

Victoria: Well, he doesn’t really matter.

Ashland: You must have realized by now that his paranoia, as far as I’m concerned, stems from his own jealousy.

Victoria: I don’t know about that.

Ashland: No, I do. He doesn’t want anyone taking his place in your life. Is now a good time for a flare-up?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart.

Nikki: Hey.

Victor: How was your meeting?

Nikki: It was okay.

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: It was nothing that would take my mind off of victoria and ashland. But after everything we just heard, I don’t understand how you can be okay with her marrying a man we don’t even know his real name.

Victor: Yeah, well, hmm. I understand your question. I mean, he glossed over the details of his past life, i understand that, but on the whole, I was alright with it.

Nikki: You were?

Victor: Yeah, because, you know, his story seems to be similar to mine. Really, I mean, anyone who changes his identity, changes his name obviously is trying to cover up a very painful childhood. And if anyone understands that, it’s me. And, you know, he probably was bullied as a kid. They probably made fun of him because he came from nothing, poor background, so now he became a very successful businessman, almost a tycoon, and I understand how victoria would be impressed by that. I do.

Victoria: Billy is a pain. He’s not jealous. Believe me, he has no lingering romantic interest in me.

Ashland: No?

Victoria: No, no, he just — he hates it when he’s wrong. Billy is stubborn and he’s frustrating, that’s all, and i doubt that anything he heard today is gonna convince him to back off.

Ashland: Probably just the opposite.

Victoria: I don’t think that he liked being dressed down by my father either. So you are just gonna be one more thing that billy and i argue about. He’s just gonna keep turning over rocks until he finds something that he thinks proves him right yet again.

Ashland: Well, that’s the behavior of an addict.

Victoria: Yes, I know, it’s what’s driven him to gamble all of those years. Always thinking that the next bet is gonna be the winner.

Ashland: Mm-hmm. I know the type. I definitely made a mistake inviting him to the family conversation. But there’s a way to rectify that error.

Victoria: What’s that?

Ashland: I need to talk to billy one-on-one.

Billy: Which is exactly why we couldn’t find anything out, right? Right. So take the information that i gave you, keep digging, and let me know if you find anything else. Great, thanks.

Lily: Was that about ashland?

Billy: Yep.

Lily: What happened at the ranch? Sounds like you learned a lot.

Billy: Oh, I wouldn’t say that.

Lily: What do you mean?

Billy: Basically, ashland spun this whole long story about his childhood, which could be true or it could be complete garbage. Either way, I left there with more questions than answers.

Lily: So what did he tell you?

Billy: [ Sighs ] In short, ashland locke said ashland locke doesn’t exist.

Think wearing less makeup

means no need for a wipe?

Victoria: I really don’t think it’s a good idea for you to confront billy.

Ashland: My darling, I am just not accustomed to sitting around doing nothing while someone else is making a nuisance of themselves.

Victoria: Well, getting in his face is just going to encourage him. It’s just gonna be proof that he thinks you’re hiding something. You know, you’re going to leave him with the impression that he’s in control of the situation and that he’s forcing your hand.

Ashland: [ Scoffs ] I really don’t care. I just hate that you have to go through all of this crap. I mean, we’re supposed to be in the middle of planning a wedding. This is just not fair that billy is inserting himself in our life this way.

Victoria: Fine. Let’s just drop the whole thing. Let’s talk about cake design or floral arrangements or something like that. I know, let’s call nate and elena and see if they’re, you know, available to have dinner with us. Positive people who support us. Anything but wasting anymore time on billy.

Ashland: No. It was my mistake to include him earlier. I thought being courteous and polite was the way to go. Clearly, that only emboldened him. I need to correct that error and put him in his place. I promise you that billy will not walk away from this conversation feeling like he’s in control this time.

Nikki: I agree with you that ashland’s accomplishments are very impressive, but I don’t think that’s the issue. Is it really a good idea for victoria to marry a man who has not been completely transparent with her?

Victor: But, sweetheart, if victoria were here, she would say that’s none of our business. Our choice is to either approve of the marriage or not. That’s all.

Nikki: And you obviously do.

Victor: Yeah, I’m inclined to. I really am. I must say that I think he loves her and she loves him. I can sense it between the two, you know? And you must remember that he chose to go into chemotherapy so he could spend more time with her. I mean, that’s an extraordinary decision.

Nikki: I agree with you on that.

Victor: See? He values her. That’s important to me. And that certainly is very different from the last guy she was with, right?

Nikki: So the best thing about ashland to you is that he’s not billy.

Victor: You bet that helps. Billy boy abbott, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, never accomplished a damn thing. Caused more messes and asked more people to clean up for him. He’s just a ne’er-do-well. From what ashland told us today, I think, as a kid, he was more of a man than billy boy will ever be.

Lily: Wow, so ashland ran away from home, he changed his name to escape his abusive father, and never looked back. How did this story stay hidden for so long?

Billy: Because it’s a classic rags-to-riches story. Everybody loves that. It’s the american dream, so nobody looked into it, until now.

Lily: Well, I guess your instinct that locke was hiding something was right.

Billy: Ah. You gonna trust my gut feeling now?

Lily: No, ’cause I have my own instincts that tell me when you’re completely full of it.

Billy: Okay, well, fyi, my gut is telling me that there’s more to come.

Lily: Yeah, your gut and the fact that ashland never revealed his real name.

Billy: There’s a lot he’s not telling us, lily. I mean, there’s no way to know if this story about his father is even true. I will say that it resembles victor’s coming-of-age story perfectly. You should’ve saw the way victor was looking at him, like he was a long-lost son. And nikki, I mean, she had an abusive father, so I’m sure she’s buying into it, as well. Lily: So, what, you think he made this story up just to play to their sympathies? I mean, that’s pretty cynical.

Billy: All I’m saying is that I’m not taking it at face value, and we need to keep investigating.

Lily: Okay, well, think about this. What if the story is actually true? What if he did, you know, escape this nightmare childhood just to survive, and now we’re hounding him in the final moments of his life for no good reason? Your mission:

Elena: Um, I think I need to go back home and get to bed or I’m gonna fall asleep at this table.

Nate: Okay, okay. Go home, take a nap, and then we could go to a movie or grab a drink later.

Elena: I don’t think i should.

Nate: Are you turning me down because of the vibe you’re getting at work?

Elena: No, not at all. I’m just exhausted. I think I need more than a nap. I think once I put my head down on the pillow, I’m not gonna wake up until the morning.

Nate: Okay, sleeping beauty. Go get some rest. I’ll check in tomorrow, and we’ll make plans.

Elena: Thank you. I look forward to seeing you when I’m awake.

Nate: Sweet dreams.

Elena: Enjoy your lunch.

Victoria: Ashland just left, so if you have any more questions for him.

Nick: Nope. Here to see you. Just want to make sure you’re okay.

Victoria: I’m fine. Actually, I am completely annoyed at the moment.

Nick: With me?

Victoria: No, with billy. He’s acting like an entitled little brat. Yeah, I know, he owns a media company, but that does not give him carte blanche to go snooping around into people’s private lives.

Nick: You know, vick, he might be doing it for the right reasons.

Victoria: Well, ashland doesn’t think so, and that’s where he is right now. He went to find billy and to make that clear to him.

Nick: That is not gonna end well.

Victoria: Well, nick, it’s my last resort. I don’t know what else to do. I’ve tried everything to get billy to stop snooping. Maybe he needs to hear it directly from ashland. But ashland has enough going on to worry about right now.

Nick: So do you.

Victoria: I know.

Nick: Well, that’s what i came to talk about. Not billy. I just want to make sure you’re alright. I mean, it’s got to be a shock to the system to find out this guy that you love has this whole history that you don’t know anything about. How you doing with that?

Billy: There’s a lot of “ifs” in that hypothetical, and I am not harassing ashland. I am simply and discreetly looking into his past, and if there’s nothing there, then we walk away.

Lily: Really?

Billy: Yes. But that’s an easy promise for me to make because I believe that there’s more there.

Lily: Your gut again?

Billy: That’s right.

Lily: Just because ashland didn’t give you the complete story doesn’t mean there’s something more sinister going on. We have run stories about women who were fleeing abusive relationships, and they changed their identity for survival.

Billy: I understand that, but locke’s father is dead, right? So there’s no threat. Why not just tell us your real name?

Lily: Just because locke is a public figure doesn’t mean that every aspect of his life is news. I mean, his childhood should be private. I don’t want to publicly reveal the most painful moments of a dying man’s life.

Billy: I’m not out to embarrass locke. I’m not out to cause him pain. I’m simply looking for the truth, and if it’s not news-worthy, then we don’t run it.

Lily: Which brings me to my next issue. I don’t think that your interest in this story is professional.

Billy: Okay, I see where you’re going, and I don’t like it.

Lily: If anyone but victoria were with ashland, would you care this much?

Ashland: I can answer that. No, he wouldn’t care a bit.

Billy: Hey there, Nikki. Nice to see you out and about. No Victor?

Nikki: I’m just picking up a quick bite for us.

Billy: Mm. Well, I’m surprised you have time to even eat, with everything you’re juggling, your high-powered job, you’re a wife, mother, grandmother extraordinaire. You are a real superwoman.

Nikki: Just a woman, actually.

Billy: [ Chuckling ] Yeah. So, how’s the wedding plans coming?

Nikki: Please don’t pretend to care. I know you’re only hoping to find a reason to blow Victoria’s wedding out of the water

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

Billy: Well, Nikki, I am simply doing my job as the head of a media company, and this wedding is making headlines.

Nikki: Mm-hmm. For the right reasons — two notable people getting married, a high-society affair. But your personal agenda should not be making news. But if you hurt my daughter in the meantime, I promise you, you will regret it.

Billy: Well, threat noted. But let me be very clear. The last person I want to see hurt is Victoria. I’m actually on her side. And I’m surprised that you’re not more concerned about who Ashland Locke really is.

Nikki: I happen to trust Victoria’s judgment.

Billy: So, you’re not the least bit worried that there’s basically no documented history of the first two decades of his life? I see. Victoria didn’t share that information with you, did she?

Phyllis: Hey.

Nick: I thought that I would come to the gym and try out that new trainer you hired.

Phyllis: Oh, good, good. Tell me what you think. Although you could show him a thing or two.

Nick: Well, flattery will get you everywhere.

Phyllis: I mean, I know ’cause I’m up close and personal with all of your muscles.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Alright. Well, I’ll give you the full report when I’m done.

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

Victoria: You know, there are times when you think you’re being so, so charming, and yet you are so far off the mark. It makes me wonder if you even know what the definition is. And take my word for it. It’s not your most endearing trait.

Billy: Well, I’m in the media business. I don’t need to be endearing. It’s not exactly in the job description. But let’s just squash that for now. You still haven’t told me why Nate — or how Nate — became Ashland’s new bff.

Victoria: They’re not bffs. Ashland is giving money to the hospital. They happen to have a few things in common. They’ve hit it off. Oh, I’m sorry if that’s not scandalous and titillating enough for you to feed your readers. But that’s not gonna stop you from digging, is it?

Nick: Hey.

Phyllis: Hey.

Nick: I thought that I would come to the gym and try out that new trainer you hired.

Phyllis: Oh, good, good. Tell me what you think. Although you could show him a thing or two.

Nick: Well, flattery will get you everywhere.

Phyllis: I mean, I know ’cause I’m up close and personal with all of your muscles.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Alright. Well, I’ll give you the full report when I’m done.

Phyllis: Okay. Hey! What brings you by?

Jack: I’m surprised you have to ask. I’m here to apologize.

Victor: Ashland. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Ashland: No problem. Thanks for inviting me. So, what is this about? Board business for newman media?

Victor: I thought you and i should get to know each other a little better, considering we’ll soon be in-laws. It’s not always about business, you know.

Ashland: You know, if i hadn’t heard you say those words myself, I would never believe it.

Victor: Well, maybe we’ll surprise each other today.

Billy: Well, I am glad I ran into you. I have a got a bone to pick.

Victoria: About what?

Billy: I ran into dr. Nate hastings, and he said he got a personal invitation from ashland to your big tuscany wedding. I checked the mail — nothing for me. So, what’s up with that? What did nate do to earn this special consideration?

Victoria: You know, you make me wonder why I put you on the guest list in the first place, since every time you see me, all you do is dig for dirt that you can publish about my fiancé.

Billy: You seem annoyed. Usually you like sparring. We can end this quickly and quite simply, really, by just telling me about ashland’s history. And I will be out of your hair. I promise.

Abby: I think this goes here.

Mariah: Hey, can I help you with that?

Abby: I think I got it. Thanks.

Mariah: Oh, you know what? I think I see what you —

Abby: I said I got it. Thank you. There we go. All set.

[ Sighs ] It’s such a nice day outside, I’m gonna take dominic for a walk through chancellor park.

Mariah: Yeah, that sounds lovely. Uh, have a great time.

Abby: We’ll see you later.

Mariah: Mm-hmm.

Abby: Let’s go, honey. It’s so pretty outside.

[ Door opens ]

Tessa: Hey, mariah.

[ Door closes ] Mariah? Oh, honey. What happened?

Chelsea: [ Laughs ] That’s so funny. I can’t wait to talk to him about it. I’m — I’m just so happy that connor had such a great time at camp.

Adam: I think it’s time that we tell him the truth about where things stand with us.

Chelsea: Now? U-um…aren’t you rushing things?

Adam: He deserves to know what’s going on with his family, chelsea.

Chelsea: But so much is still up in the air.

Adam: With us? Chelsea, come on. We have talked about this already.

Chelsea: I guess I just thought, with time, things would get better.

Rey: Oh, there you are.

Sharon: Hey. Um, this is a surprise.

Rey: Well, I thought I’d stop by during my break and see you. But I was the one who got surprised when the barista said that you had to step out. Been running errands?

Sharon: Uh, yes. And no. It wasn’t exactly an errand. It was just something that i felt I needed to do. I went to see adam.

Additional sponsorship

provided by… doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Adam: Look, chelsea, we have had a long and complicated relationship. But I think that we need to go our separate ways now, apart.

Chelsea: But what about connor? I mean, shouldn’t we at least try again, for his sake?

Adam: I know you, chelsea. I can hear it in your voice that you still think it’s possible. But, honestly, I’m surprised to hear that because it wasn’t that long ago that you wanted me out of your life so bad that you thought sending me to prison was the answer.

Rey: Adam. And you went to see him because…?

Sharon: Well, you know why. We talked about it. He wanted some advice on how to talk to connor about the changes that are happening in his family right now, and you’re the one who urged him to not put that off.

Rey: You’re right. I suggested it thinking, again, there were plenty of other people who could give him guidance besides you.

Sharon: Yes, but…

Rey: I know. I know. It’s just in your nature to — to want to help. And that’s one of the things i love most about you. But I have a question. And it’s the same question i have had from the beginning and still have to this day. Will adam ever be out of our lives? You know, I was hoping to spend a little time with you during my break, but now I have to head back to the station. Otherwise, I’ll be late. I hate leaving this like this.

Sharon: Well, why don’t you stay for a few minutes?

Rey: Why? I’ve said my piece. I don’t think it’s gonna change anything, but, uh… I had to say it. I’ll see you tonight.

Victoria: You know, there are times when you think you’re being so, so charming, and yet you are so far off the mark. It makes me wonder if you even know what the definition is. And take my word for it. It’s not your most endearing trait.

Billy: Well, I’m in the media business. I don’t need to be endearing. It’s not exactly in the job description. But let’s just squash that for now. You still haven’t told me why nate — or how nate — became ashland’s new bff.

Victoria: They’re not bffs. Ashland is giving money to the hospital. They happen to have a few things in common. They’ve hit it off. Oh, I’m sorry if that’s not scandalous and titillating enough for you to feed your readers. But that’s not gonna stop you from digging, is it?

Billy: I am curious about your relationship for a few very good reasons, and our readers are curious about ashland’s past. The question is, why are you not curious?

Victoria: Don’t you dare presume to know what I care about or what I don’T. But by all means, please feel free to assume that I’m really tired of this little fishing expedition of yours. Feeling stressed in your skin?

Phyllis: Oh, listen. You don’t — you don’t have to apologize to me.

Jack: Well, I said a lot of things last night, and I didn’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable.

Phyllis: Oh, you didn’t make me feel uncomfortable.

Jack: Well, you had every right to be. You’re with nick now, and i was —

Phyllis: Being candid. That’s all. Listen, yeah, I’m with nick. You didn’t make any declarations that you were coming after me. You were just telling me what was in your heart. Listen.

[ Sighs heavily ] We’ve known each other a really long time. You don’t have to apologize for simply telling me your truth.

Jack: Okay. Just to be clear, I was apologizing for possibly making you feel uncomfortable, not for the things I said last night. They were true then. They’re just as true now.

Phyllis: Well, I’m glad you got that off your chest.

Nick: Hey, guys.

Phyllis: Hey!

Jack: Hey.

Nick: Am I interrupting?

Phyllis: No. We’re just talking about stuff.

Nick: Well, I have some news that I think both of you are gonna like. I just got a text from summer. She said it is time to make some travel plans for her civil ceremony with kyle.

Jack: I am looking forward to it.

Phyllis: That is amazing. I’m so excited. I’m so excited. All of these weddings in italy. Kyle and summer and then ashland and victoria in tuscany.

Nick: Yeah. I like it. There’s a lot of love in the air.

Mariah: I’m fine.

Tessa: Really? Because you seem pretty upset.

Mariah: Abby and bowie — sorry, dominic — they were going out, and the stroller just — and I — I just wanted to help, and…

[ Sighing ] Mm. Okay. Abby was taking the baby to the park. And it was gonna be his first time seeing it, and I’m sure it was gonna be awesome. And — I don’t know — I just got so sad when I watched them walk out the door.

Tessa: Because?

Mariah: I don’t know.

[ Voice breaking ] I have no idea.

[ Sniffles ] It’s just a feeling that is so…hard to describe. And I — I worry, I guess. And I don’t know why.

Tessa: Well, I mean, after what stitch put you through, it’s only natural. It’s got you looking over your shoulder. You’ve got a lot to put behind you.

Mariah: Yeah. [ Sniffles ] I do. A lot.

[ Sighs heavily ] There’s just this thought that i cannot seem to shake, no matter what I do, and I feel so bad thinking about it while I’m living in abby’s house and… have you — no.

Tessa: What?

Mariah: Abby’s history is the reason why bowie and me were put in jeopardy, you know? Her relationship with stitch. All of it, it — it led to me carrying the baby when she needed a surrogate. And then stitch comes back into town, and he brings chaos and disaster. He still wants abby, and he’s willing to do crazy, terrible things to get her back.

Tessa: Stitch was troubled. But he made his choices. You’re not blaming abby, too, are you?

Mariah: [ Sniffles ] Rinsing the dishes before they go in the dishwasher?

Victor: How’s your treatment going?

Ashland: Thank you for asking. I have to admit, uh, there’s been some rough days, some, uh, difficulties to conquer, but i do believe the treatments are, um, helping me along. The days after the treatments, I’m feeling better, stronger.

Victor: Glad to hear that. Tell me about your early days in business.

Ashland: Well, the question is, where to start?

Victor: Well, how about the beginning? Now, I’ve always been interested in the early careers of successful businessmen, you know?

Billy: Maybe I am fishing a little bit. But it’s not like I’m casting my line blindly, not knowing what I’m about to get. As of right now, I am simply confirming things that I’ve already learned. And I’m trying to fill the holes.

Victoria: Such as?

Billy: Such as the fact that ashland doesn’t even seem like he existed before he met his mentor — camilla rhodes.

Victoria: That is patently ridiculous.

Billy: Mm. Is it really? I mean, we haven’t been able to find a birth certificate on the guy. He talks about in interviews how he lost his parents when he was a teen. We can’t find a death certificate for them, either, at least not under the names that he’s provided. So you tell me if that’s not weird.

Chelsea: Well, it seems like you’ve already made up your mind. I just thought, after everything we’ve been through together, something this important would warrant a longer discussion. I don’t know, adam. I thought maybe we would at least try, for connor’s sake. But, yeah, if this is where we stand, then, yeah, we need to talk to connor.

Adam: Good. I was hoping that you would agree.

Chelsea: But we have to do this the right way, adam. I mean, I’m here. You’re there. You have to at least wait until I come home. We can talk about it together.

Adam: Do you have any idea when you’re coming back?

Chelsea: I — I don’t know. Since we last spoke, anita has taken a turn for the worse. She fell again. She re-injured herself trying to do too much.

[ Sighs ] Coming up with a timeline right now is quite difficult.

Adam: But we have to try, right?

Chelsea: My mom doesn’t have anyone else that can take care of her. She won’t let me hire a nurse to pitch in, much less full time.

Adam: Chelsea, you’re just going to have to insist. It’s just that simple.

Chelsea: Well, adam, my mom is insisting that I take care of her, okay? And I can’t just walk away.

Adam: Even though you know it’s anita just being anita?

Chelsea: What are you saying? What, you think she faked her fall to keep me from leaving?

Adam: I’m saying that I don’t want to wait. It’s not fair to connor. I don’t want to dictate, but it seems like the only solution is for me to deal with this myself.

Chelsea: Okay, can you just hold on a second, please? Stop barreling through this.

[ Stammers ] Then bring him here. We can talk about it together. Please, adam, I have to be a part of the conversation.

Adam: I’m not saying no just yet, but there are problems with coming to minnesota, too. What if we tell him we’re goingthere and then he’s gonna get his hopes up for all of us to be together? He’s gonna be crushed when he realizes what the trip is all about.

Chelsea: You are coming up with any excuse to cut me out of this. You won’t come here, but you won’t wait. I’m stuck, and you are refusing to compromise.

Adam: I’m not trying to be cruel. I’m just trying to do what’s best for our son.

Chelsea: No, you’re just thinking about what’s easiest for you.

Adam: No, I’m no– like many people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sharon: Sally! What can I get for you?

Sally: You know, I’m getting kind of bored ordering the same old thing. I feel like something different, surprising, a real pick-me-up. Do you have any suggestions? What is your personal favorite?

Sharon: Oh, I’ve got a lot of faves.

Sally: Well, pick one for me. I love the vibe here. But I must say I was a little surprised when I heard that you were running this place ’cause the first time I heard your name was back when I was an avid reader of restless style. Do you miss working in fashion?

Sharon: Not at all. I, uh, have a degree now, in psychology, actually, a master’s degree. And along with owning and running this place, my life is quite full. I’m very content.

Sally: Well, it seems like you have it all then — great career and a handsome husband.

Sharon: I guess I do. Enjoy your latte.

Sally: Thanks. Mm! Adam. You have to get sharon to make you one these iced lattes. They are delicious.

Adam: Huh. Nobody beats crimson lights. Uh, I think chloe was looking for you at the office.

Sally: Oh. Better get back then. Do you want me to wait for you?

Adam: Oh, no, I’m not, um — I’m not gonna be headed back right away.

Sally: Oh. Too bad. My loss.

Sharon: So…how’s she working out at newman media?

Adam: [ Clears throat ] She’s very enthusiastic.

Sharon: She definitely comes off that way, but she also comes off like, uh…a handful.

Victor: I take it you are familiar with my early days?

Ashland: If you’re asking me whether or not I’ve read your biography, the answer is yes.

Victor: Ah.

Ashland: You grew up without parents in an orphanage, a father who deserted his family and a mother who promised she’d come back for you but never could. You left the orphanage as a teen and changed your name and took charge of your life, laying the groundwork for the empire that you would build. Quite a story.

Victor: Boy, you read it, didn’t you? That’s very nice. Thank you. Did any of it resonate with you?

Ashland: Sure. But of course there are differences. However, like you, I, uh, had to jump-start my life as a teen.

Victor: Uh-huh. So, what was your relationship with your parents like?

Ashland: I was as close to them as any kid could be at that age. They were well-meaning people, but a book about my life would not be as gripping as the biography of the great victor newman.

Victor: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: The interesting part of my story begins with the accomplishments that made me the man I am today. But that was then, and this is now. Maybe I’m saying this in light of my diagnosis or how victoria has been so key in teaching me how to live in the moment. But I feel the need not to look back, to never look back.

Victor: Hmm. And you don’t think that those early experiences made us who we are today?

Victoria: Billy, this is just such an alarming story. I mean, it’s far too big for chanccomm alone. I’m gonna have to alert the major newspapers and the big networks. I’m gonna have to call the cable-news media. Ashland locke does not have a birth certificate, and you cannot find his parents’ death certificates. Oh, I know. Maybe he’s an alien from mars. I cannot believe that you think any of this is significant.

Billy: I cannot believe that you don’T.

Victoria: We’re talking about documents from years ago. Everything was on paper. I mean, maybe it’s buried in a warehouse somewhere, or maybe it’s simply missing.

Billy: Yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe. That’s what lily said.

Victoria: Well, you know what? I knew she was smart. So I wonder — what is she doing with you?

Billy: That’s funny.

Victoria: Seriously, though, billy, if these hard-to-find records are the best that you have, then you’ve wasted enough of my time, not to mention your own time.

Billy: Look, victoria, I am not looking for reasons to doubt your fiancé. They just keep falling in my lap.

Victoria: Yeah, because you’re seeing what you want to see. If you would just stop this ridiculous search for something bad, then we would all be a lot better off.

Billy: That’s not what I’m doing.

Victoria: And I’m warning you. You better not be saying anything negative about ashland to our children.

Billy: Do you honestly think that I would do that?

Victoria: I don’t know what you’re capable of, billy, not when it comes to ashland. You’re so obsessed, I have to wonder. But if you keep this up, then i will let you know what I’m capable of.

If you have postmenopausal

osteoporosis

Phyllis: Hey, what do you think about this dress for summer’s civil ceremony? What do you think about that?

Nick: It’s nice.

Phyllis: Yeah. I mean, or this one right here. I mean, it’s a far cry from the veil that she has, but, I mean, this is sort of how I envision her looking for her big day.

Nick: Yeah. It’s pretty.

Phyllis: You could pretend to be interested.

Nick: What? I-it’s, uh, you know…

Phyllis: Nice and pretty. Right.

Nick: Yeah. Look, whatever you pick is gonna be amazing.

Phyllis: What about my dress? I’ll give you a fashion show later, and you can decide.

Nick: Sounds fun.

Phyllis: “Fun”? Really? That’s all you got for me?

Jack: Imagine my luck, running into both of you.

Abby: Ah, dominic, look! It’s uncle jack.

Jack: Hey, dom! How you doing, buddy? So small. So perfect. It’s a miracle. There’s no other word for it. It’s a miracle. A baby is the greatest gift anyone can get. Chance enjoying the pictures of his son?

Abby: Pictures? Um… well, honestly, he doesn’t even know he’s been born yet.

Jack: Wait, there’s no reaching him at all? Oh, abby, I’m so sorry. Wow. That’s got to be tough.

Abby: It is, yeah, but, you know, in the meantime, um, i have a great support system at the house. And, well, dominic — he fills that void.

Jack: Okay, I don’t know how I would get word to him, but, you know, I have some connections if you’d like me to try.

Abby: Oh, uncle jack, that is very sweet, but we’ve been going through christine and her contacts, and, honestly, if they can’t find him, I don’t think anyone can. And I don’t really want to put chance’s safety at risk.

Jack: Yeah, I get that. I know what it’s like to be far away from someone you love. It’s only got to be harder when you have no idea where they are and you can’t communicate with them.

Abby: Yeah. It just breaks my heart that chance doesn’t even know he’s a father. This waiting — it’s killing me.

Jack: Well, at least you have this bundle of joy to hold tight while you wait.

Abby: Yeah. Yeah, and I know that chance — he’s gonna be home soon. He’ll do whatever it takes to get back to us. And dominic is not gonna miss out on one bit of love. Everyone in the house is gonna make sure of that.

Mariah: I just hate having these thoughts. I feel so awful and so ashamed. I mean, do I blame abby? No, of course not. But — no. Mariah, shut up. Just stop talking.

Tessa: Mariah, you don’t have to hold back with me. I’m here to listen. You can anything you feel. Sometimes you have to say things out loud just to understand them. You’re scared.

Mariah: I am. I’m terrified.

Tessa: Of stitch?

Mariah: [ Sniffles ] I mean, everybody keeps reassuring me that he’s gone and he’s not coming back, that they’ve beefed up security around here and that he wouldn’t risk it, but what if he does? What if he comes back anyway?

Tessa: Well, he is a wanted fugitive, and the police are looking for him. None of us will be fooled again. Besides, chance will be back eventually, and stitch will realize that he has no shot with abby.

Mariah: I know, but that could take weeks, even months. I mean, who knows how long. I want to be brave. I promise. I really, really do. But I am just so afraid.

[ Voice breaking ] I feel like i used up all of my bravery in that room. And I have so many thoughts in my head that are fighting for attention, and it is drowning out all of the good things around me.

Tessa: I just wish you could see yourself from my perspective. You’re so full of these emotions and nerves. It’s overwhelming. It takes you to these bad places that you just can’t seem to get beyond.

Mariah: I don’t know what to do.

Tessa: I think you need some time and some space to work through everything. Hey…why don’t we go somewhere and do something? It could be a really good distraction. What do you say?

Mariah: No. Uh…no, I’m — I’m sorry. I’m just — I’m not — I’m not really feeling up to it. Uh, I actually think I’m gonna take some time alone.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Phyllis: Okay. Um, something’s going on. And it’s not just, you know, my offer of a lingerie fashion show. Something is distracting you.

Nick: No. In fact, I think you should expand your show to everything that you plan on wearing in italy, including all that sexy lingerie you like to wear.

Phyllis: Alright, you have something on your mind, and it’s not just lingerie.

Nick: I’m just — you know, I’m very happy with what I’m feeling these days, you know? It’s comfortable, and I’m very content. We’ve got all this flirtation and fun going on.

Phyllis: Yeah. I mean, fun is sort of our thing, right?

Nick: Yeah. But it’s not all we have, right?

Phyllis: I mean, I don’t think it is all we have. I mean, I think we have a really good balance of love and fun. And we’ve been through a lot. I think that we’ve paid our dues. So this is easy, right? I mean, we don’t — we don’t have to work so hard anymore, right?

Nick: Yeah. Um… I’m glad to know that we’re on the same page about where things stand with us this time around, you know? I guess we’re lucky like that.

Phyllis: Hey. Hey. I do feel lucky. And I feel grateful.

Chloe: I’m gonna run the numbers by adam, get him to sign off. It’s always a good idea to loop in the boss, be sure he knows that we’re being careful with his money.

Sally: I just left him at crimson lights with sharon.

Chloe: Did you, now?

Sally: You know, I’m still a little bit in the dark about some of genoa city’s past history. What is the deal between the two of them? Did I hear that they were involved once?

Chloe: Ugh. Unbelievable. You actually have a thing for this guy, don’t you?

Sally: Wh– no. I-I was just curious, is all.

Chloe: Yet here you are, doing recon about whether he still has a thing for sharon.

Sally: I’m telling you I was just curious. I thought I picked up a vibe between them.

Chloe: Well, you definitely did. They have a complicated and profound relationship. The thing that blew up chelsea’s relationship with adam was — you guessed it — sharon. Their vibe or connection or whatever you want to call it pushed my friend right to her limits and right over the edge. Adam can’t seem to get sharon out of his system. And he probably never will.

Sharon: What’s that smirk about?

Adam: I’m just amused by your take on sally. She certainly doesn’t inspire neutral opinions and definitely gives people something to react to.

Sharon: Yeah, well, what I’m reacting to is her obvious crush on you.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Sharon. You are letting your imagination run away with you.

Sharon: No, I don’t think so, adam. See, I’m very good at picking up on things like this.

Adam: Well, it wouldn’t even make a difference either way because right now I am focused on my son and my business. So, thank you again for the advice with connor, but after the conversation that I just had with chelsea, the last thing i need is to get involved with another complicated woman.

Sharon: Maybe it’s the complications that make it interesting.

Adam: Hardly.

[ Sighs ] No, the truth is, it’s me, actually. I am the problem. I failed with you. I failed with chelsea. How am I supposed to put somebody else through that inevitable train wreck? It’s not fair to anyone. I have enough on my plate. I’m fine being alone…for now.

Sharon: You know what, adam? Sometimes that’s the best approach.

Tessa: Hi. I heard you guys had an outing to the park. Was it a nice day?

Abby: It’s so beautiful outside, and you should have seen little dominic. I know he’s probably still too young to understand everything, but he just seems so curious about his new environment.

Tessa: Well, um, mariah and i had a talk while you were gone, and it was pretty difficult. Uh, I think seeing you leave with dominic triggered some things.

Abby: Really? She seemed fine when we left.

Tessa: Yeah, but she’s not. She’s scared. She’s worried. It’s the kidnapping, obviously, but she’s missing dominic, too. She’s struggling, abby. I know you’ve seen it, too. And it’s not getting better. It’s getting worse.

Abby: I know that she’s strong, but I don’t know how anyone can hold up after everything she’s been through.

Tessa: I’m just happy that it didn’t break her completely.

Abby: Look, I love mariah so much, and I am forever grateful for everything that she’s done for us. There’s got to be something we can do to help her through this.

[ Keys clatter ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Keys clatter ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Hi. I’m sorry. I didn’t hear you come in.

Ashland: You are okay?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I am now. I, um — I just had an encounter with billy that kind of left a bitter taste.

Ashland: Why do I get the sense it’s about me?

Victoria: Oh, come on. I mean, you know billy. It’s just more of the same. He’s always trying to make trouble where there isn’t any, and now he’s convinced that you’re hiding something from your past.

Ashland: Ah. Well, what did billy uncover to make him think something like that?

Victoria: It’s actually what he didn’t uncover that has him all concerned. He’s just making a big deal out of the fact that he can’t find any evidence of your birth, no hospital record, no certificate, nothing, and — and he can’t find anything about your parents’ death, either. And, um — ugh, it’s ridiculous. And I told him so.

[ Cellphone pings ] Did you hear me? Don’t you have anything to say about billy’s latest inanity?

Ashland: Uh, I-in fact, I do.

[ Sighs ] Billy isn’t wrong. There’s something you need to know.

Ashland: There you are.

Victoria: Oh, thank you. You’re smart, you’re handsome, and you know how I like my coffee. You are a triple threat.

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

Ashland: I wanted somebody that mattered to both of us going forward and not someone from my past.

Victoria: Well, I guess Nate qualifies.

Ashland: Indeed he does. I was thinking of asking Victor, but, uh, he’s walking you down the aisle, I’m assuming. Jack Abbott — well, that’s a complicated dynamic. And of course there’s always billy.

Victoria: What?!

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] I’m kidding.

Victoria: Oh, good. I thought you were serious.

[ Knock on door ]

Adam: Hey, stephanie, can you send me the ad rate projections for the first quarter, please?

Sharon: [ High-pitched voice ] Sure, mr. Newman!

[ Laughs ] I’m sorry. Do you have a minute?

Adam: Uh, sure. But you are the last person that I expected to see here.

Sharon: Um, I just felt like I, uh, had to come by and apologize.

Adam: No, no, you don’T.

Sharon: Well, I mean, you — you came to crimson lights asking for advice about connor, and I just feel like I handled that badly and I’m sorry.

Adam: Sharon, after everything that we’ve been through, you never have to apologize to me.

Sharon: Thank you.

Adam: As a matter of fact, I am the one that is sorry. I told you that I was gonna give you and rey some space, and then I turned around and I broke my word.

Sharon: Mariah was pretty upset when she saw you.

Adam: She’s never had much use for me…because she’s rightfully protective of you. And everything she’s been through, she’s combustible. She lashed out. And, honestly, uh, I probably had it coming.

Sharon: It was a tense situation.

Adam: Look, I — I put you in a difficult spot.

Sharon: Well, still, you came to the coffeehouse and you needed my help and I wasn’t there for you. But I am now.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: There you are.

Victoria: Oh, thank you. You’re smart, you’re handsome, and you know how I like my coffee. You are a triple threat.

Ashland: I aim to please. How’s your schedule this morning?

Victoria: It’s pretty clear, but I do have a breakfast meeting with mom.

Ashland: Newman enterprises official business?

Victoria: Yep, and some wedding details. How about your schedule?

Ashland: I have to review some newman media paperwork. And then I have a very important call with harrison.

Victoria: Oh, that’s gonna be so nice. Just remember — it’s okay to rest.

Ashland: I feel great.

Victoria: Well, I know that, but the chemo is still taking a toll on you, even though you won’t admit it. Have you been taking those supplements that nate gave you?

Ashland: Yes. I think that’s one of the reasons why I feel so good. Oh, and I must have that chemo brain people talk about. Uh, I forgot to tell you something last night. I hope you don’t mind, but i took it upon myself to make a decision on our behalf.

Elena: Thank you.

Nate: Mm-hmm.

Elena: That should definitely hit the spot.

Nate: It has been a minute since I slept in that late.

Elena: Well, we deserved it. And we needed it after all that strenuous activity last night.

Nate: Mmm. I could have stayed in bed all morning long.

Elena: Well, I mean, there’s still time. We could always go back upstairs and cuddle up under the covers.

Nate: Hmm. Very tempting. But we both have things to do today.

Elena: [ Sighs ] You’re right. So I guess that makes this the official end to our date. It was nice while it lasted.

Nate: Mm.

Elena: And must say, I really enjoyed having dinner with victoria and ashland.

Nate: You know, I did, too. It was a good meal, good conversation. And not only did we get an invitation to the wedding of the year, but…

Elena: Ashland asked you to be his best man.

Nate: Yeah.

Elena: [ Laughs ]

Nate: How did that happen?

Elena: I don’t know. I certainly didn’t see it coming. But how do you feel about the request now?

Nate: In the cold light of day, you mean? Still doesn’t make sense to me. I’ve only had, like, a handful of encounters with ashland, one right here after his chemo treatment. So it seems kind of weird. You know, wouldn’t you want an actual friend to be your best man, not someone you just met? I mean, I’m honored, but… why me?

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Lily: Hey. You ready to go?

Billy: Go where?

Lily: To the office.

Billy: Yeah. Is it that time already?

Lily: You’ve been staring at your phone all morning. What are you doing?

Billy: Waiting for one of our investigative journalists to get back to me.

Lily: About the ashland locke story?

Billy: Yes. I’m looking for information on the woman that became locke’s mentor. I’m still trying to figure out how he was able to buy those two news stations that launched his career.

Lily: Right. Also known as the investigation causing a rift between you and victoria. So, has our team found anything new yet?

Billy: No, nothing new, no new information on locke during that chapter of his life, which, to me, is incredibly suspicious. But I did learn something even more disturbing than that.

Find your rhythm.

Adam: I’m glad that you changed your mind because I need your advice. You’re the only one that I can talk to about this.

Sharon: Well, I don’t know if that’s true.

Adam: Not only do I value your professional opinion, but nobody understands the dynamics better than you. You know my history with chelsea. You care about connor. You’ve worked with him as a therapist in the past.

Sharon: Look, before we get into how you should talk to connor about your current relationship with chelsea, um, I have a few question for you.

Adam: Alright.

Sharon: Um… are you and chelsea on the same page about what your future will look like?

Adam: What do you mean?

Sharon: Like, do you two have the same expectations, you know? Or does one of you hold out hope for a reconciliation and the other one doesn’t? I mean, have you guys talked about that?

Adam: Um…not exactly.

Sharon: Well, how do you expect that you’re gonna co-parent connor? I mean, you need to have all of these specifics worked out.

Adam: I know. I know. I understand. Yeah.

Sharon: And I think that you need to have those answers before you talk to connor because he’s gonna have all these same questions and he’s especially gonna want to know if there’s any hope that his family might be together again one day. And you need to be prepared for that. So…is it really truly over between you and chelsea?

Elena: I understand why you’re thrown, but I actually don’t think that ashland’s request is all that strange.

Nate: Really? What’s your take on it?

Elena: Well, I mean, he just went through a divorce and he moved. He might not be comfortable asking his close friends who knew his ex-wife, you know? It’s awkward.

Nate: Yeah, that does make some sense. And he did mention that most of his friends were business associates.

Elena: Yeah, and he may not want to ask any of them to be a part of his wedding with victoria. Maybe he wants to choose someone who has a connection to her and her family. Maybe it’s like a symbolic gesture of new beginnings.

Nate: New beginning for a man who may not have a lot of time left.

Elena: Well, he certainly likes you. And he’s very appreciative of how you went above and beyond to help him the other day. I mean, he’s not even your patient, and you showed him compassion and you treated him like a human being and not like some big-shot billionaire.

Nate: And dealing with cancer helps people cut through the noise. I think ashland’s that type.

Elena: Right. So, now that we’ve talked it through, what do you say? Are you gonna be his best man?

Victoria: I love that you invited nate and elena to the wedding. I mean, nate’s — he’s an old friend. And elena — the more I get to know her, the more I like her. I didn’t realize we had so much in common.

Ashland: I’m so glad to hear you say that because there’s more. I even surprised myself with this one, and it came up spontaneously, but I asked nate to be in the wedding party… as my best man.

Victoria: Oh.

[ Chuckles ] Okay.

Ashland: I wanted somebody that mattered to both of us going forward and not someone from my past.

Victoria: Well, I guess nate qualifies.

Ashland: Indeed he does. I was thinking of asking victor, but, uh, he’s walking you down the aisle, I’m assuming. Jack abbott — well, that’s a complicated dynamic. And of course there’s always billy.

Victoria: What?!

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] I’m kidding.

Victoria: Oh, good. I thought you were serious.

Ashland: Well, nate hasn’t given me an answer yet because i kind of caught him off guard. I’m glad he’s taking his time thinking about it, probably more than I did. But it struck me last night that, uh, it’s good to have someone like him by my side, you know? Maybe that sounds crazy, but…

Victoria: No, not at all. I understand exactly why you did what you did.

Billy: I asked our team to dive deeper into ashland’s past. I want to know everything, starting from the beginning. And they haven’t been able to find anything, so you know what that means.

Lily: That we need better investigative reporters?

Billy: No. It means his history’s been scrubbed.

Lily: So, what, you think that ashland’s hiding something?

Billy: “Think”? I know he is. How do you not know any information on the guy?

Lily: Like what?

Billy: Well, like where he was born, for instance, or the truth of what happened to his parents.

Lily: I thought they died when he was young.

Billy: Exactly. Every article on him talks about his parents, mary and ian locke, died when he was a teenager, but there’s no death certificates to prove that.

Lily: Okay, well, there could be a reasonable explanation for that.

Billy: Okay, what if I told you we can’t find a birth certificate for locke, either? It’s as if he and his family never existed.

Dayquil severe for you…

Adam: Whenever chelsea and i once had is now over. I’ve been very clear with her about that.

Sharon: And you guys have talked that out, you’re on the same page, or you don’t know?

Adam: We’ve had conversations, but I don’t recall that I’ve gotten a definitive answer from her. And, um…

Sharon: And what?

Adam: There have been times when I get the feeling that she’s let go of a lot of her anger towards me and that she would be willing to give things another chance.

Sharon: Well, that does make sense, given your history. You two have overcome some huge obstacles together, and you managed to forgive each other.

Adam: But it’s different now. At least, it is for me. Too much damage has been done. But the thing that has not changed is our commitment to connor. We both want to do what’s right by him.

Sharon: Well, then I think you need to talk to connor sooner rather than later. You need to sit down with him, you and chelsea, and have a family conversation. You need to let him know that his parents are separating.

Adam: I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t think chelsea and I are gonna be able to do that anytime soon.

Sharon: Why not?

Adam: Because I don’t know when she’s going to return from anita’S. I mean, what if she’s gone for months?

Sharon: The longer you put this off, the more questions he’s gonna have.

Adam: You’re right. But it’s just — it seems too important to do this on a video call.

Sharon: No, this absolutely needs to be done in person.

Adam: And I think it’s clear that I need to do this now. And I need to do it on my own.

Nate: I like ashland, you know? He’s smart, witty. And there’s no pretense with him.

Elena: You can respect that.

Nate: It’s a big deal to be asked to play the role like best man in someone’s big day. I’m not quite ready to say yes.

Elena: Hmm. So, if you say “no,” does that mean we’re not going to tuscany for the wedding?

Nate: Oh, we’re definitely going to that wedding.

[ Chuckles ] I can’t pass up a reason to go to italy. You know, last time I was there, they ran out of pasta.

Elena: What?

Nate: It’s true! I ate all the pasta in the whole country.

[ Both laugh ] The spaghetti, rigatoni, linguini, all of it.

Elena: I see. So we have to go back to see if they made more.

Nate: Hmm! But, you know, victoria and ashland, you know, seem to be very much in love. I’m happy to support them and celebrate them. Plus, I get a chance to spend some time with you in the most romantic place on earth.

Elena: I feel the same way.

Billy: You have to admit is is suspicious that there’s no record of locke’s birth or his family.

Lily: Yeah, sure, I’ll admit it. It’s intriguing.

Billy: “Intriguing”? Come on. It’s more than that. Look, think about victor, for instance. Not that I want to mention his name, but he is a business icon, much like locke.

Lily: Yeah, sure, they have similar backgrounds.

Billy: They do, don’t they? And that’s my point. Victor has been talking about his story for decades, about how he was an orphan that rose to the top. Those are the details that people want to hear. That’s what builds the legend. So why would locke not talk about that part of his life?

Lily: Maybe he’s a private person. Maybe he’s not close with his parents. Or maybe the death of his parents is painful for him.

Billy: Okay, then how do you explain the no death or birth certificate?

Lily: Because documents weren’t digitized back then. It’s very easy they could have been lost. It doesn’t prove a cover-up.

Billy: It’s more than that, lily. I mean, there’s no information about his school days, no family anecdotes, nothing.

Lily: Well, given how many lives he’s wrecked, do you find it that surprising that nobody wants to talk about him on the record?

Billy: Why are you fighting me on this? Do you really want me to give this investigation up that badly?

Lily: No. I just want you to have facts before you jump to conclusions ’cause it’s very possible this road could lead to nowhere.

Billy: Yeah. Well, maybe you’re right. You very well could be right.

Victoria: Asking nate to be your best man actually makes a lot of sense. We’re both people who are focused on work and family. It doesn’t leave time for much else.

Ashland: Yeah, like long-lasting friendships.

Victoria: Exactly.

Ashland: I moved my entire life here to genoa city, yet i don’t miss anyone that I used to socialize with back in new york. All of my so-called relationships were developed around networking purposes.

Victoria: I can understand that.

Ashland: Well, tara introduced me to some of her friends.

[ Clears throat ] We didn’t have much in common. She loved summering in the hamptons and going to all the galas, but I’ve always enjoyed being somewhat of a loner. And that was true before locke communications group. Once I developed a reputation — well, you know what it’s like to be in a powerful position.

Victoria: I do. I mean, most new acquaintances either defer to you or they ask you for something.

Ashland: And nate did neither one of those things. You know, when I was at my most vulnerable, struggling after chemo, he came to my aid. And he reminded me that I still had some power over the disease, how I treat it, how I include loved ones. Those were my choices.

Victoria: Agreed.

Ashland: Those ideas had a very strong impression on me. And it speaks to nate’s integrity. And he tells a damn good story.

Victoria: [ Laughs ]

Ashland: So I’d like to call nate my friend and have him stand with me when we get married.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Victoria: Who could that be?

Ashland: Not who. What. And it’s for you.

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Billy: So, let me get this straight. What you’re saying is I can’t be patient.

Lily: Of course not. You’ve been checking your phone all morning. Oh! Hi, guys.

Nate: Hey!

Elena: Hey.

Billy: Well, if it isn’t our new star.

Lily: Yeah, having coffee with our previous star.

[ Laughter ] How are you both?

Nate: We’re good.

Billy: Uh, elena, lily told me about your new ideas to revamp askmdnow. I am super psyched.

Elena: Me too. So excited.

Nate: You can go ahead and say it, billy.

Billy: Say what?

Nate: That elena’s gonna be so good at her new job, everyone’s gonna forget about little old me.

Elena: Ohh.

Billy: Well, that is the plan. We want everyone saying, “nate who?” After her first week.

Lily: I mean, clearly we made the right choice, right? But I will miss seeing you around.

Nate: I’m sure you’ll still pencil me into your busy schedule.

Lily: Yeah, of course. Let’s do that dinner that we all talked about at the launch party.

Elena: Yeah, when are we gonna do that?

Lily: Uh, soon. Let’s just look at our schedules, and we can go somewhere. Or come over. We’ll make you dinner.

Billy: Yeah, that sounds great.

Elena: Sounds perfect. We are so popular lately.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: What do you mean?

Elena: Oh, uh, we just had dinner with victoria and ashland last night.

Billy: Really? How’d that come about?

Nate: Well, ashland wants to help out with the new surgical wing at memorial.

Elena: And that’s how it started, but it ended up being a really good night. We talked about the wedding. It’s gonna be amazing.

Billy: Is that right? I’m sure it’s gonna be a big to-do. Any details you want to share?

Ashland: I have been waiting for this. What a perfect time for it to arrive.

Victoria: What is it?

Ashland: Well, consider it a combination congratulatory merger gift and an early wedding present.

Victoria: That is so sweet of you, but you shouldn’t have gotten me anything.

Ashland: Oh, you need this.

Victoria: Okay, well, now I’m very curious.

Ashland: Well, see for yourself. I know that your father’s portrait hovered over the ceo’s office for many years.

Victoria: Yes, it’s — it’s in the boardroom now.

Ashland: I thought it was time that it was replaced. This painting should take its rightful spot in your office to exemplify the changing of the guard.

Victoria: I love it. It’s just beautiful. I — I don’t know what to say.

[ Sighs ] I-is this a londeree? A meryl londeree?

Ashland: Indeed it is.

Victoria: How did you get her to do it?

Ashland: It wasn’t easy to convince her, but you deserve it. There is nothing I won’t do to prove my love for you.

Victoria: You already have, again and again.

Sharon: If you feel compelled to talk to connor on your own, then I think you need to speak with chelsea first. I mean, you don’t want her to be caught off guard after the fact. And that way she’ll be in the right headspace for when she talks to connor.

Adam: Agreed. It’s just… it’s going to be a difficult conversation. I’m a little wary.

Sharon: You can’t avoid it.

Adam: If she’s holding on to any hope that we can reconcile, if I take away that possibility, who knows how she’s gonna react, sharon?

Sharon: It’s gonna be painful. So just speak to her with respect and a lot of empathy for what she’s going through. You know, that’ll go a long way towards easing the pain.

Adam: I’ll try my best.

Sharon: Maybe it’s a good thing that she’s staying with her mother right now. That way, she’ll have some help if this does hit her hard.

Adam: I don’t know if anita is the best influence on her.

Sharon: Do you think anita would promise chelsea to heal her wounds by, like, running a con?

Adam: Something like that. I don’t know. Maybe I’m worried over nothing. Maybe I’m wrong about the vibe I’ve been getting from chelsea. But it is possible that she still despises me and she’s just being civil for connor’s sake. And in that case, if I do tell her that I intend to tell him on my own, it could provoke a huge negative response, maybe even set back her treatment.

Sharon: Well, maybe you should contact her therapist and let them know what’s going on. And then that way they can be prepared in case she needs that extra support.

Adam: I think she would think that’s a violation of her privacy.

Sharon: True. Well, I guess you’ll have to play that by ear. But it’s really crucial that you handle this right. You know, you’re setting up the foundation for how the two of you are gonna move forward as parents, and that’s what’s most important for connor.

Adam: You’re 100% right, sharon. I’m gonna do everything that you suggested.

Sharon: I’m glad that I came to talk to you about this.

Adam: I knew you would be the one person to steer me in the right direction. You always have been. – Bedtime!! – Bedtime.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Adam: How do I frame this with connor? I get the sense that he knows something is wrong between chelsea and me, so it might not come as a total shock.

Sharon: Maybe that’s a good thing.

Adam: Still, I just think it’s gonna be heartbreaking for him.

Sharon: Just use clear and simple words and be open, you know? Be honest. Be respectful of chelsea, but be understanding of how hard this is for connor. You know, what he really needs to know is that his parents still love him and that’s never gonna change.

Adam: Thank you, sharon. That’s exactly what I needed to hear.

Sharon: You can do this. I know you can.

Adam: It’s nice to know that still believe in me.

Sally: I have some numbers on a prospective budget that — sorry. I didn’t know you were with someone.

Nikki: Grazie mille. Ciao.

Victoria: Hi.

Nikki: Hi!

Victoria: How are things in italy?

Nikki: Oh, fantastico.

Victoria: [ Laughs ]

Nikki: The staff at the palazzo are very busy getting ready for our arrival. I just talked to the coordinator — francesca. Everything’s coming together.

Victoria: Thank you, mom. I don’t know what I’d do without you handling all the details.

Nikki: Darling, it’s my pleasure. You know I love doing this stuff. And I just want everything to be perfect for you and ashland. How is he doing?

Victoria: He’s good.

Nikki: Well, I’m happy to hear that. I was worried when you didn’t make it to the launch party.

Victoria: Oh, yes, well, that was a tough day. But he’s doing much better now. He seems to be handling the treatment very well.

Nikki: And how are you coping?

Victoria: I’m fine. I’m choosing to believe that the chemo is doing what it’s supposed to do and fighting the cancer in his body so that we can have more time together. In the meantime, we’re just making every minute count.

Nikki: I’m sure that you are.

Nate: I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to share what victoria and ashland told us about their wedding.

Elena: Yeah, especially with victoria’s ex, who has a vested interest in publishing stories about her fiancé.

Billy: Okay. I get it. Didn’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable. Of course, none of this would be on the record. Whatever we talk about, I would not share publicly.

Elena: It’s fine. We don’t have any details anyway.

Lily: Yeah, and if you’re so curious, just ask victoria.

Billy: Maybe I will.

Lily: Yeah, I think you should ’cause I think even if elena and nate know more, victoria wouldn’t want them to share it with anyone.

Elena: Yeah. And who knows? We might have to sign a non-disclosure agreement to even attend this elaborate wedding. I don’t know. I’ve never been to an event where we might actually have to dodge paparazzi.

Lily: Wait, you were invited to the wedding in italy?

Elena: Yeah.

Lily: Wow, that’s gonna be a great trip for you guys.

Billy: Who invited you? Victoria or ashland?

Lily: Well, I’m sure victoria. I mean, her and nate go way back.

Elena: No, it was actually ashland. He and nate really hit it off.

Billy: Is that right?

Nate: Yeah. I like the guy.

Elena: They seem to be building a real friendship, which I am totally in support of because all you do is spend time at the hospital and with me.

Nate: Oh, come on. I can never spend too much time with you.

Lily: Aww, well, that’s good ’cause you’ll be going to italy together.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: That looks like our order. I’ll get it.

Lily: Oh, I’ll join you. Uh, I’m really glad that you stopped fishing for details. And, plus, I don’t think elena and nate know anything.

Billy: Are you kidding me? Did you hear what he said? Something’s not right. (Dog vo) mmmm, this beneful grain free…

Billy: You two out of here?

Nate: Yeah. It’s about that time.

Lily: Aww, it’s good to see you guys. And let’s do our dinner.

Elena: Absolutely.

Lily: Yeah. Okay.

Elena: Bye.

Billy: See ya.

Lily: Bye. There is nothing wrong with what nate and elena said.

Billy: Nate and ashland becoming best friends? It doesn’t raise a red flag for you?

Lily: Okay, I think you’re exaggerating.

Billy: Okay. Maybe. But ashland’s donating to the hospital. They’re having dinner together. Now, out of the blue, they’re invited to the wedding?

Lily: Maybe because nate’s a really great guy? Maybe because ashland’s getting treatment at the hospital that nate works at? I mean, it’s not like he has to be on a budget and not invite too many people.

Billy: No, that’s true. He can afford whoever he wants to be there. But it’s still a destination wedding. You’re still flying halfway around the world to get there. You’re still taking time out of your busy schedule to hang out with him and the newmans.

Lily: Yeah, it’s a dream vacation. It’s not an obligation.

Billy: Yeah, and I’m sure that’s exactly how ashland sold it to him, which is also weird. He’s built his career off being intimidating and aloof. Now all of a sudden he’s mr. Charming to people he barely knows?

Lily: Okay, they are doctors. They’re not moguls. He doesn’t have to worry about them screwing him over on a business deal. And, besides, everyone has said that ashland has changed since his diagnosis.

Billy: That’s what he wants everyone to believe.

Lily: Okay, why can’t you take anything that ashland does at face value? Like, what if he wants to expand his social circle?

Billy: Men like ashland don’t do that. They don’t seek friendships unless there’s something that they’re looking to get out of it.

Victoria: It was just so beautiful and so thoughtful.

Nikki: I didn’t realize that artist was still painting portraits.

Victoria: Well, neither did I, but ashland found a way to make it work.

Nikki: What a wonderful gift.

Victoria: I know. It just demonstrates how — how well he knows me in such a short amount of time. He recognizes how much being ceo of newman enterprises means to me. You know, mom, I’ve been wanting to replace dad’s picture for some time, but I want you to know it’s not a slight against him, of course.

Nikki: Oh, no. I understand.

Victoria: I just would like to step out of his shadow and shine on my own.

Nikki: My darling, you have always shone, but I’m happy to hear that ashland sees that as clearly as your father and I do.

Victoria: The connection that ashland and I have — it’s like he sees me for who I am. I am painfully aware of everything hanging in the balance, and I try not to think about how quickly time is slipping away. But the closer we get to the wedding, the more I wonder — what if the worst happens? What if I lose this man that i love before we’ve even barely begun our lives together? What — what will I do then, mom?

Sally: [ Sighs ] I can’t believe I did that. I apologize. I didn’t mean to interrupt. I just had something important to discuss.

Adam: Uh, sharon and I are discussing something important, as well. So, can you come back later?

Sally: No worries. It was a private matter anyway.

Sharon: Um, it’s fine. I think we covered everything. I should get going.

Adam: Thank you, sharon. You’re a life-saver.

Sally: Bye! Is it just me, or did it get a little chilly in here? Look, I’m — really, I’m sorry for interrupting —

Adam: No, you’re not.

Sally: What?

Adam: I saw you outside the door listening to our conversation before you burst in here.

Sally: No, I — I didn’t mean to —

Adam: Regardless of what you intended, I don’t find that behavior the least bit amusing. Sharon and I — we were talking about my son. And when it comes to my kid, i just don’t appreciate people playing games. Front loader odor.

Sally: I-I’m really sorry. And I mean that this time. I — I came to the door, and i stopped when I saw the two of you. I didn’t really hear anything, but it was foolish and immature of me, and I’m sorry, adam. The truth is…[Sighs] I know that we’re trying to keep things professional between us, but… I got jealous.

Adam: Of sharon?

Sally: Well, you two have a history. But I know that that is none of my business, and whenever the green-eyed monster takes over, I make bad decisions. But I promise I will do better about trying to squash the beast if he ever makes another appearance. Your past, present, and future relationships with sharon are none of my business.

Adam: That’s right.

Sally: So, we’re good then?

Adam: We’re good. Now, did you actually have news about the budget, or was that just a cover story?

Sally: I will e-mail you because I’ve already taken up enough of your time. Get to work.

Adam: Okay, boss. Hey, will you, um, shut the door on your way out, please?

Sally: Gotcha.

Adam: Hey. It’s me. We need to have a discussion about the future, chelsea, and about our son.

Nikki: This has been my concern the whole time. The whole family is worried. I mean, not that you and ashland won’t be happy together, but that, depending on how his illness progresses, it could cut your time together short. And then your heart will be broken. You’ve been so strong through all of this, and I really admire that. But it’s okay to have some fears. And, really, it’s not too late to admit that this engagement has been very abrupt.

Victoria: Are you saying that I should back out of the wedding now?

Lily: I don’t think it’s a red flag that nate and ashland are friends.

Billy: Well, we’ll find out soon enough who’s right or wrong. But I just got more information from our investigative journalist.

Lily: Did they find something out?

Billy: Nope, nothing. Another dead end, which, to me, is very suspicious. It’s almost as if ashland didn’t exist until he met the woman that later became his mentor.

Lily: And once again, there could be a reason for that.

Billy: I really don’t see how it’s possible for anyone in this day and age to basically have no record of the first 20 years of their life, unless they are deliberately hiding it. Or maybe he’s destroyed those records.

Lily: Right, another hypothesis with nothing to back it up.

Billy: Yeah. Believe me. It’s frustrating as hell.

Lily: You’re not the only one here who is frustrated. You need to look at why this matters so much to you.Who cares if ashland is hiding where he came from?

Billy: Who cares? If that’s true, the man is a lie. Everything he’s done in his life is a lie, his whole entire empire. That is a big story, a story that people want to hear. Most importantly, victoria deserves to know that. I don’t need any more motivation than that.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Victoria: I asked you if there were any secrets that i needed to know, and you said no.

Ashland: This was something that I’d hoped you’d never need to know.

Mariah: I am terrified.

Tessa: Of stitch?

Mariah: Everybody keeps reassuring me that he’s not coming back, that they’ve beefed up security around here, and that he wouldn’t risk it, but what if he does?

Nick: Do phyllis and I seem like a good fit to you?

Phyllis: Where’s your she-devil tonight?

Adam: Why? So you can douse her with a champagne bucket again?

Phyllis: She brought me down to her level, which is even low for you.

Adam: Mm. Well, we, um, mud-dwellers have to stick together, you know?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Look at you. I knew this new, improved version of Adam Newman wouldn’t last long. Do you know that Sally would be out of town if you didn’t allow Chloe to hire her?

Adam: Or unless you want to tell me what your real issue is with Sally. Then I’m all ears.

Phyllis: You already know my issue with Sally.

Adam: I think I was right the first time that we discussed her — that you see a little bit of yourself in her.

Phyllis: I’m not even gonna dignify that with a response.

Adam: You have a tell, Phyllis. Every time that you swan out of a room without getting the last word, I know that I hit a nerve. Mm.

Jack: [ Sighing ]

Phyllis: Where’s your she-devil tonight?

Adam: Why? So you can douse her with a champagne bucket again?

Phyllis: She brought me down to her level, which is even low for you.

Adam: Mm. Well, we, um, mud-dwellers have to stick together, you know?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Look at you. I knew this new, improved version of adam newman wouldn’t last long. Do you know that sally would be out of town if you didn’t allow chloe to hire her?

Adam: I’m letting chloe give sally a second chance. I figured you would be in favor of those since you’ve had quite a few yourself.

Phyllis: You more than I.

Adam: It’s not a contest.

Phyllis: No, it’s not a contest! Why are you keeping her here? Honestly, sally ran my daughter out of town, and you’re getting some sort of pleasure by keeping her around.

Adam: Summer is doing quite well in milan, from what I hear.

Phyllis: That’s not the point.

Adam: Listen. I just want to have a drink without the drama.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Or unless you want to tell me what your real issue is with sally. Then I’m all ears.

Phyllis: You already know my issue with sally.

Adam: I think I was right the first time that we discussed her — that you see a little bit of yourself in her.

Phyllis: I’m not even gonna dignify that with a response.

Adam: You have a tell, phyllis. Every time that you swan out of a room without getting the last word, I know that I hit a nerve. Mm.

Nick: Hey.

Sharon: Hey! Nice to see yoU. You want your usual?

Nick: Yes, please. Thank you.

Sharon: Alright. How are things?

Nick: Everything’s going good. I was just looking at some pictures earlier that summer sent me from milan of her and harrison.

Sharon: Ooh, let me see.

Nick: Alright. There you go.

Sharon: [ Gasps ] Aww, summer looks so happy.

Nick: I know, right? Uh, I also have some of dominic right here.

Sharon: Oh, I met him in person when abby brought him home from the hospital. He’s adorable.

Nick: He’s sure is. I’m just so glad that he is healthy, considering how he came into this world. How’s mariah doing?

Sharon: You know, honestly, i think this ordeal has affected her in more ways than she even realizes, but she’s got a strong, loving support system.

Nick: Well, I hope I’m included in that group.

Sharon: Of course. You’re family. Look, I know you’ve had a lot keeping you busy lately. I read an article about the newman media launch party, and, uh, new hope was featured quite prominently there.

Nick: That partnership is, uh — is looking good right now.

Sharon: I still can’t get over it, you working with adam.

Nick: Well, we have both been on our best behavior to this point.

Sharon: You giving him a chance to prove that he’s changed — that’s — it’s incredible. It’s a testament to the kind of man you are.

Nick: Thanks for saying that.

Sharon: Hey, how was the party?

Nick: The party. Uh, the party was great until, uh, you know, sally decided to mix it up with phyllis.

Sharon: No, she didn’T. Oh, my gosh. What happened?

Nick: Uh, well, you remember when you, uh, dumped that entire pitcher of milk on my mom’s head?

Sharon: Yeah.

Nick: Something like that, but just, you know, substitute the milk for a champagne ice bucket, and in the middle of a big, giant party.

Sharon: At phyllis’s hotel? Oh, my gosh.

Nick: Yeah. Phyllis just keeps finding ways to surprise me.

Jack: What brings you by at this hour?

Phyllis: Well, I was driving by. I saw the light on.

Jack: Really?

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] I-I saw the text that you sent to kyle in our family group text chain, so I knew you were here alone, in this big, empty house. I thought you might be lonely. I came to say hi.

Victor: Please come in.

Sally: Thank you. You have a lovely home. I will admit that your text caught me by surprise, but who could turn down a request from the great victor newman?

Victor: Thank you for being so prompt.

Sally: So, why don’t you tell me what this is all about? Though I do have some idea.

Life…

Sally: So, I am guessing you called me here to talk about the launch party, the scene I made with phyllis. I’m not proud of that. But luckily I didn’t read anything about it in the press, so it seems like it didn’t have any effect on the positive reception that newman media received. And adam wasn’t angry about it. I mean, I personally think it livened things up a little bit.

[ Chuckles ]

Victor: You know, so far, my sole focus has been on the launch party for newman media. But now that that is behind us, I’d like to get to know you a little.

Sally: Okay.

Victor: Would you like a drink?

Sally: Sure. I had an amazing single-malt scotch with adam the other evening.

Victor: Uh-huh. Well, I think I know which one you mean. So, did adam introduce you to this?

Sally: I was already aware of it, vaguely. It’s not really something my budget has allowed me to indulge in.

Victor: Well, now, I would not underestimate your success. I mean, first you were an assistant to lauren fenmore, and then you became the head of jcv. Right? That’s the job that my granddaughter held before you.

Sally: [ Sighs ] So, that is what this is about. Summer.

Sharon: I don’t suppose i have to guess who started this phyllis/sally showdown.

Nick: I actually wasn’t there when it happened. And I know I’m not getting the full story from jack. He’s being very protective of phyllis, trying to downplay her role in the incident. Anyway, jack got phyllis out of there pretty quickly, and then adam took sally away, so…

Sharon: Adam? Oh, right. Sally works at newman media now.

Nick: Yeah, I’m pretty sure sally was there as his date.

Sharon: Adam and sally. Interesting. Well, don’t look at me like you expect me to have some deep feelings about it. I mean, I said “interesting.” That’s it. Don’t read more into it.

Nick: There was a time when i didn’t think you were gonna be able to, uh, you know, detach yourself from the mess that is adam’s life. But I thought that if anybody could do it, it would be rey. He could help you, you know? And you guys seem pretty happy right now.

Sharon: We are. Thank you.

Nick: But I also know when it comes to your history with adam, it’s never quite that simple.

Jack: Thank you for dropping by to check in on me.

Phyllis: Of course. I owe you. You stopped me from making a real mess of the evening. Actually, a bigger mess of the evening.

[ Chuckles ] And then you gave me your pocket square so I could clean off the champagne on my face.

Jack: It was my pleasure. And for the record, all in all, you showed admirable restraint.

Phyllis: [ Laughing ] Oh, really? That’s generous.

Jack: I’m always a softie where you’re concerned, always have been.

Phyllis: So…that text that you sent kyle. Did I sense a certain melancholy and wistfulness?

Jack: I found a toy that harrison left behind. And it prompted a text, and maybe I got a little too nostalgic.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Are you okay?

Jack: Yeah. I’m — I’m — I’m fine. I’m tired. I’m winding down with a glass of wine before I go to bed.

Phyllis: Alright. I’ll let you go to sleep.

Jack: No, no, no. No. I’d love for you to stay. Actually, I could — I could use a friend right now.

Phyllis: So, do you want mindless chatter or deep insight?

Jack: [ Chuckles ] You are never mindless. You are sharp. You are funny. You are outrageous sometimes, just for the sake of being outrageous, but never mindless.

Phyllis: Deep insight it is, then.

[ Chuckles ] Why don’t you tell me what’s really going on?

Jack: I don’t want to get all maudlin. I — I have had countless conversations with people about kyle and summer’s decision to move to milan with harrison, and I just had it again earlier this evening with lauren. In all those conversations, i keep saying the same thing — “I’m fine. Change is good. Life goes on.” But it’s all happened so fast, it’s been a little jarring.

Phyllis: Yeah, I do understand how you feel.

Jack: And now I keep having this constant argument with myself. A part of me says, insists i need to move on, get on my with my life. And I get angry that I can’T. And another side of me says, “why should I? We’re talking about my son. We’re talking about my grandson.” This house used to be filled with noise and love and… and now it’s not. And I don’t want to get used to the silence. I don’t want to get used to the emptiness of it all.

Phyllis: You’re right. This house was up to its ears in abbotts.

Jack: Yeah, but traci now comes and goes to new york, and ashley the same thing and paris. But now kyle and harrison are gone.

Phyllis: So, what I’m hearing from you is that you’re lonely.

Jack: You have no idea.

Sharon: Look, I have told adam that the past is the past and I don’t want to go back there. You know, I’m not secretly drawn to him. I’m committed to my marriage. Don’t look at me like that. I mean, I’m telling you the truth.

Nick: I believe you, okay? I — [ Sighs ] I know how important it is to set boundaries, but I know how tempting it must be to allow adam’s toxicity back into your life, you know? But adam has shown a different side of himself. He saved faith’s life. He gave her a kidney. He came back to — to get me when I was trapped in that building in kansas. I mean, so I allowed him to come back into my life. What I’m saying is, I understand how it’s not so simple for you and, uh, you know, also that he’s a source of tension in your marriage.

Sharon: Okay. I wouldn’t be able to admit this to anyone but you. And given that you have come around about adam, I know you understand.

Nick: I mean, I have cut adam a break, but we are far from best friends. But I know how hard it is to want to see the good in him while also drawing a line.

Sharon: Yeah. That’s my dilemma. Um…you know, I think that people, everyone, needs someone in their life who really supports them. And I’ve made myself that for adam. And I’ve paid the price, but he’s also proven me right. So I just… it’s really difficult for me to try to turn my back on him completely.

Nick: And rey understands that?

Sharon: Yeah, rey and I, we’ve — you know, we’ve worked things out, and we’ve re-committed to our marriage.

Nick: That’s not what i asked. Does rey understand that you can’t completely cut adam out of your life?

Sally: Your wife already communicated in no uncertain terms how she views my involvement with summer, and i assume that you feel the same way, so I’m just gonna save you a little bit of time. Message received.

Victor: You caused summer quite a bit of distress. And that upsets me, you know? Now, had I intervened earlier, things would have turned out differently.

Sally: That sounds like a threat.

Victor: It’s not a threat. You know, you and adam caused quite a stir at the party, yeah? I mean, you prompted phyllis to empty a bucket of ice water over your head.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: You know, adam is involved in a rather delicate situation with his son, connor. Connor’s very aware of the tension between his mother and his father. It’s not good for him. He’s upset by that. And what you may consider just harmless flirtation and socializing could have unwanted consequences. You understand what I’m saying?

Sally: Yes. Chloe actually brought this up to me earlier. I don’t know the details, but of course I am sensitive to the situation. I’m sure adam loves his son.

Victor: Yes, very much.

Sally: And he wants to protect him and do what’s best for him.

Victor: Of course.

Sally: So then shouldn’t adam be the once to decide what that is? I mean, should you really be dictating your adult son’s personal life — or mine, for that matter?

Victor: Let me put this in terms that you can grasp. Do not use my son adam as a way to salvage your…lackluster career. And arguing with me would be the worst mistake yet.

Adam: I guess I missed the memo about this meeting. Front loader odor.

Victor: I invited ms. Spectra over because she needs to know certain things now that she is a member of newman media.

Adam: What kind of things?

Sally: About your son and what is going on between you and his mother.

Adam: Hmm. And why would you talk to her about connor?

Victor: Because I think she needs to know the whole situation.

Sally: Apparently, he doesn’t trust you to communicate this information yourself.

Victor: Now that you have all the information, I hope you make good use of it.

Sally: Am I being dismissed now that you’ve put me in my place?

Adam: Sally, you — you should go.

Sally: Thank you for the scotch.

Victor: You’re quite welcome.

[ Glass thuds ]

Adam: Why? Why did you feel compelled to dump all of this on her?

Victor: Son, I’ve been around, okay? I know that type. She’s a climber, social climber.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Victor: She’s trying to cozy up to you at the risk of pissing me off. And she hopes to come out on top. The question is, what is your motivation? You have talked for months about turning over a new leaf, to become a good father to connor. So, what the hell happened?

Sharon: My relationship with adam has changed significantly.

Nick: But adam is still a part of your life. Looks like he always will be. And rey knows that?

Sharon: Rey and I are as open and honest with each other as possible. And we get through the day like any other couple does. You understand. Things can’t be all smooth sailing with phyllis.

Nick: Actually, it kind of is right now.

Sharon: What’s different?

Nick: I don’t know. I stopped putting the brakes on her meddling. I stopped giving her ultimatums. I know phyllis means well, so I’m just trying to roll with it.

Sharon: You make that sound so easy.

Nick: I mean, it’s easier ’cause I made a choice to accept her for who she is. Oh, I know you have something to say about that.

Sharon: I just think — and all couples are different, but when a couple breaks up and then they get back together, things can be different for them. They can be better. I mean, as long as both of them agree on what they want. And it sounds like, uh, you and phyllis have that. It sounds like things are really good.

Nick: I know you a little too well. There’s something else on your mind. What is it you’re not saying?

Jack: Listen to me closely.

Phyllis: Thank you.

Jack: I don’t need you to fix this or tell me to look on the bright side. God, if anybody tells me that, I don’t know what I’M…

Phyllis: Are you kidding me? I’m not gonna tell you that. I’m not gonna be the one to tell you to look on the bright side. Okay? I just want to talk to you and — and listen to you.

Jack: Being lonely is embarrassing.

Phyllis: No, it’s not.

Jack: It is.

Phyllis: It’s human.

Jack: I’m telling you, it feels like I’ve failed at life. I don’t know where it went wrong exactly, but after a big, full life, I find myself completely alone.

Phyllis: Are you kidding me? You’re not alone. You have so many people who love you, myself included. That doesn’t preclude you from feeling lonely. I understand that. I mean, my goodness, you can feel so alone in a family. You can feel alone in a relationship. That’s just life. You know? We’re born alone. We die alone.

Jack: [ Laughs ] Is this supposed to be a pep talk?

[ Both laugh ]

Phyllis: It’s a reality check. I mean, I think that’s why we try so hard to create relationships — you know what I mean? — And connections with people.

[ Sighs ] That’s why we work so hard at romance.

Jack: Why we start a romance with the wrong person, hoping they’ll magically turn into the right person?

Phyllis: Exactly. Are you talking about sally? She’s definitely the wrong person, but sally is so thoroughly sally, I don’t know who you were hoping she would turn out to be.

Jack: You want an honest answer? I guess I was hoping she’d turn into you.

[ “The addams family” theme playing ]

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: Set me up with the best scotch you got.

Matt: Sure thing. What’s the special occasion?

Sally: I am moving up in the world.

Matt: Oh, yeah?

Sally: Yes. It appears as though I’ve officially become the target of the newmans. Nikki newman ripped into me at the launch party for the company that I am now working for, and victor newman just summoned me to his home. Yeah, he did that thing that rich and powerful men do when they want something from you, only it’s supposed to feel like your idea. In this case, he wants me to stop seeing his son. Not that we’re seeing each other in that kind of way.

Matt: His father apparently thinks otherwise.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I am not sure what to think anymore. To my boss’s father. The jerk.

Adam: You are overreacting to the situation with sally. I assume that you resent her because of, uh, everything that went down with summer.

Victor: Son, this isn’t about summer. This is about a grasping social climber who was kicked out of L.A., Fired by lauren, and is now latching on to you to use you.

Adam: She’s not using me. I’d never that happen.

Victor: The situation between you and chelsea is not the best. Connor is in an emotionally fragile state. He doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going between the two of you. I mean, he’s confused now. He feels the tension between father and mother.

Adam: I’m in tune with what is going on with him. And it has nothing to do with sally.

Victor: I’ve been impressed with your demeanor both professionally and privately. But you’re slipping now. You’re going back to your old ways. You’re gallivanting with that dame around town, rubbing it in people’s faces, trying to elicit some kind of reaction, not thinking about the consequences.

Adam: I — connor is first and foremost in my mind. I will protect my child always. Okay? I don’t need you to go behind my back and micromanage my life. That is you slipping into old behaviors. It’s you trying to control me in the same way that has driven us apart in the past.

Victor: [ Sighs ]

Nick: Come on. Tell me what you’re really thinking. We’re being honest here, right?

Sharon: It’s nothing all that deep. I mean, you said it yourself. You chose the kind of relationship you wanted to have with phyllis, what you wanted it to be like this time and what you didn’t want it to be like. Less of the crazy intensity you had last time and — well, at least the kind that would make you put your fist through a wall.

Nick: Yeah. Wound up hurting a lot of people I care about, particularly you.

Sharon: I didn’t bring it up to talk about us. We don’t have to revisit that.

Nick: Alright, maybe it’s just, you know — I don’t know — phyllis and I are older and wiser now. Maybe we’ve found a way to be in a relationship in a more serene way ’cause, you know, we get each other and it doesn’t have to be complicated.

Sharon: I agree. It doesn’t have to be complicated. But I understand why you would choose something easy and comfortable.

Nick: Whoa. Okay, so, you’re saying I’m looking for the path of least resistance. It’s not real love and commitment.

Sharon: No. I didn’t mean that.

Nick: But something’s missing. That I’m settling?

Phyllis: Well, sally could never be me.

Jack: [ Laughs ]

Phyllis: Not on her best day could she be me.

[ Chuckles ] You don’t want another me.

Jack: Oh, don’t be so sure of that.

Phyllis: Oh, I’m sure of it. There’s a reason our marriage didn’t work out.

Jack: Yeah, we went through a lot, more than our share of heartache, but also some great times. Some of the best times in my life. And you are still the most captivating, fascinating woman I have never known…and sometimes so gorgeous, it hurts.

Phyllis: Jack —

Jack: No, let me finish. You are also complicated and frustrating and hot-headed and careless and…

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] Yeah.

Jack: But all in all, a pretty spectacular package.

Phyllis: Ah. Well, you have had too much to drink.

Jack: You know, I keep thinking maybe — maybe the fact that we’ve spent so much time together lately, I… maybe the reason I didn’t move on with my romantic life was… ’cause I already was with the most amazing woman I’ve ever known. Maybe you set the bar too high, red.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Listen, I don’t — I don’t think you should say things that you might not mean.

Jack: I’m not saying this because I’ve had too much to drink. I’m saying it because it’s true. I have never stopped loving you. And I don’t think I ever will. Come on. You can’t be that shocked.

Phyllis: I don’t know what to say.

Jack: Let me be clear about this. I’m not acting on any of these feelings. I know our time is over. I know you’ve moved on. Life has moved on. I know you’re happy with…

Phyllis: With nick. That’s a fact.

Jack: Well, here’s another fact. I still love you… truly, deeply. And I have to live with that. I can’t stop it. It won’t go away.

Give every morning a

fresh start

Sharon: I didn’t mean to imply that you were settling with phyllis.

Nick: You sure about that?

Sharon: Yeah. I was just making an observation.

Nick: Ah, but you said “comfortable” and “easy.” I mean, don’t take this the wrong way, but could I say the same thing about you and your relationship with rey?

Sharon: Rey and I — you know, we get each other, like you and phyllis do. And, you know, it’s good to share trust and friendship in any relationship. In my opinion, it’s very important. And I’m glad that you and phyllis have gotten to that point and that you’re happy — ’cause that’s all that matters, that you’re happy.

Nick: Well, I’m happy that you’re happy.

Sharon: I got to go. It’s getting late. Hey, um… you want to help me close up?

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Wow. Um…

Sharon: [ Laughs ]

Nick: You know what? Sure. I’ve done it a hundred times. I know the drill.

Phyllis: Okay, here’s some water. I want you to hydrate or else —

[ Glass thuds ]

[ Door closes ]

Sally: Well, adam, your loss. Could have been fun.

[ Glass thuds ]

[ Sighs ]

Adam: My father made his point. Now I want to make mine.

[ Door bangs ]

[ Both breathing heavily ]

[ Door slams ] Sally… sally…

Adam: Sally? Sally? Sally! Hey.

Sally: [ Clears throat ]

Adam: Are you so mad that you’re pretending not to hear me?

Sally: No, I —

[ Clears throat ] Just distracted. So, why are you here? Still fresh

Adam: [ Sighs ] I’m really sorry about my father, the way that he called you over to the house and the things that he said.

Sally: Yeah. I admit, it felt a little bit like being called to the principal’s office.

Adam: [ Sighs ] He was totally out of line.

Sally: I’m really glad that you feel that way.

Adam: [ Sighs ] But when we were alone, he got me to really look at the situation, and I have re-evaluated.

Sally: Re-evaluated what, exactly?

Adam: I don’t think that we should see each other outside of the office anymore.

Sally: “Should.”

[ Scoffs ] That’s a word that I have eliminated from my vocabulary. You either choose to do something or you don’T. There is no “should” or “shouldn’T.” No acting a certain way because that’s what’s expected of you.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Sally: You decide what you want, no matter how people are going to react. No matter how far outside it is from what’s considered “socially acceptable.” And if people don’t like it? That’s their problem. To hell with ’em.

Victor: That woman threw a drink into Phyllis’s face at an event that you and I had been planning. If I were you, I’d see to it that she seeks employment elsewhere, okay?

Adam: Maybe Phyllis had it coming.

Victor: This a joke to you or what?

Adam: Sally let her temper get the best of her after Phyllis provoked her. It was both of their faults.

Victor: Can you blame Phyllis after what that woman has done to Summer?

Adam: Bottom line — I’m not interested in getting involved in their personal details, okay? I’m focused on business.

Victor: You’re focusing on monkey business. This is the second night you’re spending with this woman.

Adam: I’m not “spending the night” with her. We’re grabbing a bite. It’s a working dinner.

Victor: Working dinner, huh? Is that what they call it now? If I were you, son, I would strategize with me how to defeat ChanceCom.

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

Elena: So, tell me about the dress.

Victoria: Well, um, I haven’t nailed down a designer yet, but I’m waiting to talk to Summer’s boss — Angelina Marchetti. I’m not holding my breath. I know she’s really in demand. She might not have time to do it, so I might have to move on as the date approaches.

Elena: Ugh, that is such a hard decision. Honestly, the dress is the most important part. [ Laughter ] You laugh, but it’s true. Have you decided on a style yet?

Victoria: Oh, nothing over the top, but at the same time, the aesthetic of the ceremony is certainly not minimalistic.

Elena: I totally get it. This wedding is gonna infuse so much joie de vivre. You need a dress that goes in line with that.

Ashland: Yes! Joie de vivre. That is exactly the spirit of this event — the joy of life.

Lily: Oh, my gosh! Look at that face!

Devon: I know. He’s a handsome guy.

Lily: So cute. And I love his name — dominic, with a “d,” in your honor.

Devon: Right?

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: That was unexpected. I didn’t — it was very special.

Lily: My gosh. And what a crazy story. It’s like, you guys just found mariah, and then the baby’s coming.

Devon: Oh, you have no idea. I have no idea what we would have done if I didn’t get nate on the phone to coach abby and me through everything.

Lily: Well, I’m sure the three of you would have figured it out.

Devon: Well, I’m glad i didn’t have to.

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: So, what was it like bringing a new life into this world?

Devon: It was incredible. And, uh, abby was amazing through it all. She stayed calm and reassuring.

Lily: Yeah. What about mariah?

Devon: I mean, what can you say about her? She was…heroic. She stayed strong through everything that she went through, from being kidnapped to trapped in a room for a weeks.

Lily: I am so happy that you and abby made it there in time for the delivery ’cause she must have been terrified.

Devon: Oh, yeah. It was just — it’s — it was all a blur, you know? But I will definitely never forget the feeling of just holding dominic in my arms for the first moments of his life.

Lily: Man, what a thrill to experience that.

Devon: I know. Yeah. I knew that I would feel a connection with him because of our dna, but this is just — this is something else.

Abby: Well, can’t we just get someone to fill in, like a bartender or something? No, no, no, we cannot go without a hostess. Okay, yeah, just — just figure it out and call me back.

Mariah: Problem?

Abby: [ Sighs ] We are short-staffed at society. One of our hostesses called in sick.

Mariah: Oh, bummer.

Abby: Yeah. You know, if tessa didn’t have a gig tonight, I would ask her to pick up a shift [Chuckles] For old time’s sake.

Mariah: Well, if you need someone to watch the baby, I can do it.

Abby: No, no, that’s okay. I-I don’t want to impose.

Mariah: It’s — really, it’s not a big deal, you know? He’s crashed out, so I’d probably just be sitting here doing what I was gonna do anyway, reading a book, maybe watching a little tv.

Abby: [ Sighs ] That’s very sweet. I just — it feels like too much.

Mariah: Abby, you’re not asking me to do anything. I volunteered. And I know you won’t make a habit of it, so… really. I’m happy to do it.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Elena: Hey.

Victoria: Oh, hello.

Nate: Hey.

Ashland: So glad you could make it.

Nate: Hey. Well, thank you for the invite.

Victoria: Uh, ashland, this is dr. Elena dawson. This is my fiancé — ashland locke.

Elena: It’s lovely to meet you.

Ashland: The pleasure’s all mine.

Elena: You know, it’s been ages since we’ve both had two nights off in a row.

Nate: Almost never happens.

Elena: Yeah. So we get to enjoy and relax tonight.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Fabulous.

Ashland: Well, we have some appetizers on the way. We should probably get you some drinks.

Nate: Great idea.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Looks like the initial reviews are positive. “Newman media launch event set just the right tone.”

Victor: Ah. You mean not even a mention of phyllis dumping an ice bucket over that woman?

Adam: No. I haven’t seen it mentioned yet.

Victor: You mean chanccomm hasn’t said anything?

Adam: Wasn’t that hard to suppress.

Victor: Whoa. One viral video would have undermined everything you and i were trying to accomplish, you know.

Adam: Uh-huh. Um, I actually — I have to get going. I have dinner plans.

Victor: The meeting with northern brands? You know, that cfo had actually a rather interesting idea.

Adam: Uh, we have a video chat scheduled later this week to go over it, so… anyway, I’ll see you tomorrow.

Victor: Hey, son. You’re not meeting that woman, are you?

Adam: Which woman would that be?

Victor: You know, that spectra woman, whatever the hell her name is.

Adam: [ Sighs ] As a matter of fact, I am. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Jack: What a lovely surprise.

Lauren: I probably should have called first.

Jack: Nonsense. I’m always happy to see you. What brings you by?

Lauren: Well, michael was working late. He’s preparing for the sutton ames trial. And I was on my own, and i thought, “hmm.” Would you like to join me for dinner?

Jack: Well, I’m not sure i want to go back out, but I’d love the company. How’s chinese takeout sound?

Lauren: Ooh. Sounds delicious.

Victor: That woman threw a drink into phyllis’s face at an event that you and I had been planning. If I were you, I’d see to it that she seeks employment elsewhere, okay?

Adam: Maybe phyllis had it coming.

Victor: This a joke to you or what?

Adam: Sally let her temper get the best of her after phyllis provoked her. It was both of their faults.

Victor: Can you blame phyllis after what that woman has done to summer?

Adam: Bottom line — I’m not interested in getting involved in their personal details, okay? I’m focused on business.

Victor: You’re focusing on monkey business. This is the second night you’re spending with this woman.

Adam: I’m not “spending the night” with her. We’re grabbing a bite. It’s a working dinner.

Victor: Working dinner, huh? Is that what they call it now? If I were you, son, I would strategize with me how to defeat chanccomm.

Adam: You’re just — you’re just not gonna let this go, are you?

Victor: No.

Adam: Fine. We can talk about it, but not right now because I’m late. Sally’s probably waiting for me. So I will see you tomorrow. Alright?

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: What do you say later on we go back to victoria’s hot tub?

Victoria: Do you want to have a nightcap?

Elena: Yeah.

Nate: You have a hot tub?

Victoria: Yeah, it’s just one of those above-the-ground ones.

Elena: I thought you didn’t even…

Nate: This latest generation of robots gives us the kind of precision we could only dream about. Look, the nav-system uses 3-d imaging, which offers surgical teams mind-blowing, real-time mapping capabilities.

Elena: He means there’s no lag time with the video, so we can see what we’re doing while we’re doing it.

Nate: Sorry. I geek out a little bit.

Victoria: And this is all happening inside the patient through a tiny incision?

Nate: It’s cutting edge of what’s possible now. And it’s the type of technology we’ll be able to purchase thanks to your generous donation.

Ashland: Well, this is really exciting stuff. However —

Nate: Enough with the shop talk. Got it.

[ Chuckles ] I’ll send you written updates on how the hospital uses the funds.

Ashland: That works for me.

Elena: So, now that our professional lives are off the table, what should we talk about?

Ashland: Anything and everything, as long as we steer clear of my situation.

Elena: Actually, there is something that I want to discuss — your wedding plans.

Victoria: Oh. Well, um, that just happens to be my favorite subject.

[ Laughs ] I looked on ancestry and just started digging

Victoria: Well, the details are — well, they’re still coming together.

Nate: Sounds like you thought of everything.

Elena: Yeah, it’s like the ultimate destination wedding. An italian palazzo? How dreamy is that?

Nate: I imagine it must be a challenge trying to organize an event this elaborate from another continent?

Victoria: Well, yes. Thankfully, my mother’s found someone there to coordinate it.

Elena: So, tell me about the dress.

Victoria: Well, um, I haven’t nailed down a designer yet, but I’m waiting to talk to summer’s boss — angelina marchetti. I’m not holding my breath. I know she’s really in demand. She might not have time to do it, so I might have to move on as the date approaches.

Elena: Ugh, that is such a hard decision. Honestly, the dress is the most important part.

[ Laughter ] You laugh, but it’s true. Have you decided on a style yet?

Victoria: Oh, nothing over the top, but at the same time, the aesthetic of the ceremony is certainly not minimalistic.

Elena: I totally get it. This wedding is gonna infuse so much joie de vivre. You need a dress that goes in line with that.

Ashland: Yes! Joie de vivre. That is exactly the spirit of this event — the joy of life.

Adam: Well, well. Good evening, everyone.

Nate: Adam.

Elena: Hi.

Victoria: I see you’re with sally. Maybe you’ve finally found your perfect match.

Adam: It certainly seems you two have. I couldn’t be happier for you both.

Ashland: Thank you, adam. Enjoy your evening.

Adam: You too. Sally. I’m late. I know. I’m sorry. I, um — I got held up at the office.

Sally: It’s no problem.

Your table’s ready. If you’ll follow me… enjoy.

Adam: Thank you.

Sally: Well, you get such a kick of that, don’t you? Tweaking them, not letting their little slings and arrows get to you.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] It’s a game. You develop a thick skin.

Sally: I think there’s a lot I can learn from you.

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: So, tell me about the trip that amanda’s taken.

Devon: Oh, yeah. She and naya and imani decided they need a getaway.

Lily: What? That’s a big step for them.

Devon: It’s a huge step. I think it’ll be a good way for them to heal some wounds. You know, this whole saga with sutton and his involvement in richard’s death has — it’s really taken a toll on them.

Lily: Well, I mean, those are big things to get over, but I’m glad that they’re trying to, especially as a family.

Devon: Yeah, and it meant a whole lot to amanda because they suggested it.

Lily: Yeah, I’m sure.

Devon: So, where’s billy tonight?

Lily: Um, he is at home with the kids.

Devon: Nice.

Lily: I wanted to, uh, give them some alone time. I know how much they love having their dad all to themselves. So, I get to have time with you, hang out, catch up.

Devon: Isn’t it crazy how we have so much family stuff going on in our lives right now?

Lily: Oh, my gosh, I know, right?

Devon: It’s wild. You’re taking care of billy’s kids. We’re both looking after moses.

Lily: Mm-hmm. It takes a village, you know, which we’re all a part of. And now dominic and his parents are, too.

Devon: Yeah. And chance and I are technically family.

Lily: Yeah, through the katherine connection. Going strong.

Devon: And that’s the main reason, too, why I wanted to be the donor, is so that dominic could have that connection.

Lily: Well, now you and chance can work together to make sure that he’s just surrounded by nothing but love, which i know is what you wanted.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: But I’m also sensing a little shift in you since the baby’s been born?

Mariah: Okay, bowie. Okay. Shh! I know! I know. I know. I know. I know. Come on, kid, you got to work with me here. I changed your diaper. I sang you a lullaby. Come on. Please. What do you need? What can I do for you, okay? You — you won’t take your bottle, so — shh. Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shh. Please, I would do anything for you. I would do anything in the world for you. You know that.

[ Sighing ] Oh, god.

[]

Lauren: Ooh. Okay. Spicy beef for you.

Jack: Cashew chicken for you.

Lauren: That’s right!

Jack: Fantastic. Thank you.

Lauren: Okay. So, you were saying?

Jack: Oh, I was saying harrison apparently loves pizza in italy even more than he loves pizza here. Summer sent me this wonderful video of him helping her cook.

Lauren: Uh, “helping” being a relative term when you’re talking about a 3-year-old.

Jack: Actually, you’d be amazed. This kid is ahead of the curve. Now, they have this little place outside milan, and it has an outdoor pizza oven. And he was adding the cheese just so.

Lauren: Aww. Sounds so adorable.

Jack: Most amazing thing about this kid is he is adaptable. I mean, he has adjusted to life in europe in no time flat.

Lauren: Well, that’s what kids do. They’re really good at adapting. But he must miss his mom. I mean, they were so attached.

Jack: Yeah, that was the one authentic thing about that woman. She was committed to her little boy, fiercely so, it turned out.

Lauren: Well, I almost felt sorry for her. I don’t think she knew what she was getting herself into, taking on phyllis.

Jack: No, and I regret ever pressuring phyllis to lay off of her and sally, but her instincts were exactly on target, as usual.

Lauren: Yeah. Yeah. Our dear friend has a real gift for being able to read people.

Jack: And now summer and kyle owe their happiness to her.

Lauren: That is true. And phyllis will never let them forget that.

Jack: Oh, you can bet she won’T.

[ Both laugh ]

Nate: So, they’re playing the processional. All the guests are standing up, looking towards the back of the church at the bride’s father, who is standing there alone in the vestibule, wondering where the heck his daughter is.

Victoria: Uh-oh.

Ashland: Had she fled the premises?

Nate: No, nothing that dramatic. Apparently, she had went back to the bride’s room for something blue and told her attendants to go on ahead. Well, as she was rushing up the stairs in her high heels, she falls and twists her ankle.

Victoria: Oh, no!

Nate: Yes. The poor groom is dying a thousand deaths, thinking he’s been stood up at the altar.

[ Chuckles ] Well, long story short, the bride was found. I grabbed my medical bag and taped up her ankle. The ceremony went on as planned. Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to join in on the electric slide.

[ Laughter ]

Ashland: Well, it seems like you’re the right man to have on hand in a crisis.

Nate: Always pays to have a doctor in the house. Which reminds me of the time i was a groomsman for one of my college buddies —

Elena: Alright, no more, no more, no more.

[ Laughter ] Enough wedding horror stories. That’s the last thing we need to hear.

Victoria: Well, I could tell a few of my own, so this is good. I’m taking notes on how to avoid disaster so that our day will be perfect.

Ashland: Mwah!

Sally: I am really glad that we downshifted from a date to a working dinner.

Adam: You are, huh?

Sally: Yeah. And we can ignore all those “what not to do on a date” rules. Like, I wore my comfy shoes. And you were 20 minutes late.

Adam: Okay, those are not comfy shoes. And I’m sorry about that.

Sally: It’s fine. Really. This is exactly what I’m talking about. It’s better than if you bailed. And I’m guessing there was pressure on you to do that.

Adam: Um…

Sally: Yeah, that’s what i thought. It’s fine. Really. This is not my first time hanging out with a real sob — son of a billionaire…

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Sally: …Who didn’t realize he was one growing up.

Adam: Really? You don’t say.

Sally: Yeah. There’s a lot more of you out there than you might think. You could start a club. Or a support group.

Adam: Uh, I think that we should get down to business. Did you, um — you bring some sample designs?

Sally: Mnh-mnh. You’re gonna have to wait on that ’cause I’m starving since you were —

Adam: Yes. Late. Sorry…again.

Elena: Cooking podcasts. I’m obsessed.

Victoria: Oh, my god.

[ Chuckling ] Me too!

Elena: Really?

Victoria: Yes! The more complicated, the better.

Elena: What? I didn’t know you liked to cook.

Victoria: No, I hate it. I’m terrible.

Ashland: Oh, don’t listen to her. She makes a fine grilled cheese.

Victoria: Well, I mean, only if I’m really paying attention, but if I try to get too fancy, then forget it.

Elena: I totally get that.

Victoria: It’s like that, you know, fantasy element, creating the perfect dish with that wild presentation.

Elena: Like an edible flower sprinkled on a plate?

Victoria: Yes, exactly that.

Elena: I’m an okay cook, and I kind of enjoy it, but, honestly, who has the time?

Victoria: Mm.

Elena: I’m lucky if I can heat up my takeout before devouring it.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Elena: And my former roommate, the chef, would be appalled if she saw the way I’ve been eating lately.

Nate: Mnh, I beg to differ. Lola would be impressed as hell with what you’re doing with your time. You’re making a huge difference in a lot of lives.

Elena: Mm.

Victoria: Well, I am gonna go freshen up.

Elena: I think I’m gonna join you.

Ashland: That’s the face of a man who knows precisely how lucky he is.

Nate: I certainly do.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Amanda asked me that same question — if I regret stepping up to be the donor or, you know, a part of dom’s extended family. And my answer is no. I knew how important it was for abby and chance to start a family, and I’m still happy that I was able to help them do it.

Lily: Yeah, so am I, but you know if your answer were different, I wouldn’t judge you, right?

Devon: Yeah, of course I do.

Lily: ‘Cause I know what it’s like to be in abby’s shoes, you know, needing a surrogate. So I know the thoughts that can go through your head, and I want you to know I’m here if you ever want to talk about any of it.

Devon: I don’t know. Just when I think of that first moment that I held dominic and when I heard him take his first few breaths, you know, in life, I — I just remember I had that thought and that feeling of, “this is it, and this is — this is what it’s really like to be a father.” And, you know, it just brought up a lot of emotions.

Lily: Yeah, well, especially ’cause you should have been a father awhile ago. You know, how could you not think about hillary and the baby that you lost?

Devon: Yeah. I mean, I’m — I’m sure she’s smiling, looking down, proud.

Lily: But you miss her… and your baby.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: And I want you to know that you can talk to me about any of that, as well. You know, I — I won’t make it about my own feelings of guilt. I just — I just want to be here for you, if you’ll let me.

Devon: I appreciate that. I do.

[ Door closes ]

Abby: Mariah? Mariah, hey, uh, I found someone to come in to work, so you’re off the hook. Mariah? Okay, uh, maybe — maybe she’s, uh, feeding him, uh, or rocking him. Mariah? Mariah? Not touching is still touching protection.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: Was it wrong of me to want the forresters to include my designs in their couture collection out of sympathy, knowing I was at death’s door? Maybe. Yes. But it didn’t hurt anyone, right? I mean, especially since those designs were good.

Adam: If you do say so yourself.

Sally: Ridge and eric are businessmen first. They would not have included them otherwise. And if they actually made it down the runway, I believe they would have been huge sellers. It would have been a win-win for both of us.

Adam: I mean, when you think about it, you were doing them a favor.

Sally: You know what? When it comes to my career, i refuse to be humble. I am one hell of a good designer. I just have the unfortunate tendency of getting in my own way, which I am working on. And I have a feeling you can relate.

Adam: [ Sighs ] You’re not wrong.

Ashland: Harrison seems to be quite taken with gelato.

Nate: Chocolate and vanilla. Good man.

Ashland: You have kids?

Nate: Not yet, but, um, someday hopefully. I’ve learned that, uh, you can’t always make firm plans when it comes to your personal life.

Ashland: The way you said that — have you ever been married?

Nate: I was engaged once. Uh, she passed.

Ashland: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.

Nate: Thank you.

Ashland: It makes even more sense now, why you don’t react to me the way others do since my diagnosis. You don’t have that same squeamishness or distance that i sense in others. I assumed it was because you’re a doctor, but there’s more to it. You’ve gone through your own personal loss and grief. You don’t see it as foreign or frightening.

Elena: Ah. They seem to be getting along well.

Victoria: You know, nate stepped up for ashland in a big way after his first chemo session. He brought him home. He let him talk. He gave him some really good advice. He’s a good man.

Elena: Yeah. He is.

[ Chuckles ]

Jack: Let’s see. “I cannot help you, for I am only a cookie.”

Lauren: It does not say that!

Jack: Oh, no, it doesn’t say that. Let me see. We’ll play a little trombone here.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Jack: Uh, “your love life will soon be happy and harmonious.” Oh, we can only pray.

Lauren: Well, and you deserve that to come true.

Jack: I don’t know about that.

Lauren: Yes, you do.

Jack: I am thrilled, though, that summer and kyle have found their way back to each other.

Lauren: Yeah. What’s the update on their wedding?

Jack: Well, they are planning a small civil ceremony in italy, in contrast to what ashland locke and victoria are planning.

Lauren: Right, and quite a contrast from what kyle and summer were planning, as well, before all this craziness happened and they got derailed.

Jack: You know what? I’m glad they took things down a bit. I think they learned a lesson. They have everything they need to be happy right now, without all the extras.

Lauren: Mm. And what about you, my friend? Do you have everything you need to be happy?

Lily: So, how is abby dealing with chance being gone now that the baby’s here? I know having a family was their dream. It must be so hard for her to not have him here to share that with her.

Devon: Yeah, of course it is. She’s — she’s just staying strong and trying to keep the faith that he’s gonna come home to her soon.

Lily: And you took my advice, right?

Devon: About what? Not ragging on chance in front of her?

Lily: Yeah. I mean, I know that you were resenting him for not being here when she needed him.

Devon: Yeah, yeah, no, I — I told you I wasn’t gonna say that to her. It was just the last thing she needed to hear.

Lily: And now?

Devon: I mean, now I just kind of feel sorry for him ’cause there’s a lot of big moments that have happened that he’s never gonna get back. And I think when he’s home, it’s really gonna hit him hard.

Lily: Does he even know he has a son?

Devon: He’s gone deeper undercover, and we can’t get any messages to him. So I started to wonder if maybe it’s safer that he doesn’t know.

Lily: Well, look, I’m sure when he gets home, he’s gonna be very grateful to you for looking after abby and his son.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Oh. Hey, abby. What’s up?

Abby: Hey, have you heard from mariah?

Devon: Not recently. Why?

Abby: I had to go in to society for a bit, and mariah offered to watch dom, but I got home and they are gone. There’s no note or anything.

Devon: I assume you called her cellphone. Did it just go to voicemail or what?

Abby: Well, she left her phone at home. That’s weird, right? I mean, I’m trying not to freak out, but —

Devon: Yeah, no, don’t freak out. Don’t freak out at all. Um, just give me a minute, and I’ll be right over, okay?

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Devon: So, abby got back home from work, and mariah and the baby aren’t where she expected them to be.

Lily: Well, no. Go, please. You need to be there.

Devon: Okay. Thank you. Will you lock up before you go?

Lily: Yeah, of course, of course.

Devon: Okay. See you later.

Lily: Yeah.

[ Door closes ] Now, we all know progressive offers 24/7 protection,

Jack: I thought you were gonna stop pestering me about my romantic life — or lack thereof.

Lauren: When did I agree to that?

[ Laughs ] Come on. I’m just checking in.

Jack: Yeah, sure.

Lauren: I know that you had a really amazing time having kyle and harrison here. The house must feel very quiet without them.

Jack: Oh, boy, does it. I got used to all the noise and commotion and excitement, looking forward to the holidays, having a funny, happy kid like harrison around for halloween. Boy, it doesn’t get better than that.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ] Well, maybe they can come for a visit.

Jack: Yeah. I mean, sure they can. I’m still gonna have to get used to all the quiet in this house. And all the extra time I have on my hands. You know, thank god I’ve got work. I can pour myself into jabot and the abbott-winters foundation.

Lauren: Right, but that’s for your mind. You need something to fill your heart. You need a passion, and it doesn’t necessarily need to be romantic.

Jack: You know what? I have come to the conclusion that I’ve had my share of grand passions. Now looking after harrison, being “grandpa” — that’s what fed my heart. Soothing his little worries, exciting his imagination, teaching him the things that my father taught me. I mean, I can do those things over the phone, some of them, but it’s just not the same thing.

Lauren: You know, I’ve never thought of being a grandparent in those terms. The way you talk about it, it sounds very appealing. Of course, my sons aren’t even close to settling down, so…

Jack: I’m telling you, the day is gonna come, and when it does, trust me — you are gonna love it.

Victoria: I have a lovely cabernet in the kitchen.

Elena: Sounds great. I’ll help you.

Ashland: Please.

Nate: So, uh, will victoria’s kids be going to italy for the wedding?

Ashland: Oh, you know, I’m hoping that they can make it. Tuscany is absolutely gorgeous in the fall, and I’d love for them to see it.

Nate: Yeah. I, um — I went there with my mother when I was young. Still remember it. We went all over — tuscany, umbria, le marche.

Ashland: Nice.

Nate: I also saw quite a bit of europe when I was in boarding school. But I haven’t been back since.

Ashland: Why don’t you and elena join us at the wedding? Victoria and I would love to have you there. Uh…I know it might be a little presumptuous, and you can clearly say no, but, uh… I-I-I’d — I’d like for you to be my best man.

Nate: Wow, uh, that’s, uh, quite generous of you. Are you sure? I mean, we’re still getting to know each other.

Ashland: No, you know, I’ve always been able to size up people pretty quickly. You are a brilliant and kind man who has a — a deeper understanding of what I’m going through than most and…

Nate: I’m sure you have friends in new york you could ask.

Ashland: Yeah, I’m sure, but, I mean, to be quite honest, they’re mostly people I’ve met through work. The connections were more professional than personal, you know? I’m just not in that world right now. And, quite frankly, most people are clearly having a difficult time with my medical situation. Anyway, just think about it. There’s no pressure. I-I-I-I would love to have you and elena join us for the ceremony. It’s gonna be a blast.

Nate: Joie de vivre.

[ Both laugh ]

Ashland: From beginning to end.

Mariah: Hi.

Abby: Oh, my god. Hi. Where have you been?

Mariah: Oh, uh, bowie — sorry — uh, dominic was crying his head off, and I had no idea what to do. So I called the pediatrician, and he said that going out for a walk might help. And look. It worked.

Abby: Okay, I-I just, um — you didn’t leave a note or — you didn’t bring your phone. I mean, I had no way of getting a hold of you.

Mariah: Oh. Sorry. Yeah. I — when the baby cries, my brain short-circuits. It must be the hormones. But, um, everything is fine. I’m sorry if you got worried.

Abby: It’s just, the last time you disappeared with the baby, I mean, you were gone for three weeks. I almost called the police.

Mariah: Oh. Again, I’m — I’m really, really sorry, but we were just out for a walk on the grounds. That’s all. No need for alarm.

Abby: Yeah. Hi, baby. Hi.

Adam: I like the simplicity of the lines. And yet there’s a — there’s a richness to it. You have a specific bride in mind, which is a good thing. Even though, uh, victoria might not be inclined to choose a design from a woman who works for the company that’s owned by her black-sheep brother.

Sally: So, that’s it, huh? Just enough commentary to prove that it was a working dinner in case anyone asks?

Adam: Is there something more that you want me to say?

Sally: I’m just mainly curious as to why you agreed to come out with me since we’ve established this was not a date, but also really wasn’t about work. We could have had this five-minute conversation in the office.

Adam: I mean, isn’t it obvious at this point? I’m here for the scintillating conversation.

Sally: Or maybe you were hoping that the news of this non-date would get back to someone in particular and make them jealous?

Adam: Oh! Maybe you were hoping that jack would hear about it.

Sally: [ Sighs ] You know, I actually haven’t thought about him once since we sat down.

Adam: Really?

Sally: I was too busy enjoying myself. And whether or not you want to admit it, I think you have been, too.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Elena: Well, thank you for a wonderful evening.

Victoria: Well, we’re really glad that you could join us. It’s been a wonderful change of pace.

Ashland: Yes, it has. We’ll have to do this again soon. And you will get back to me at some point?

Nate: Definitely.

Victoria: Okay.

Ashland: You guys get home safely.

Nate: Alright.

Elena: Thanks.

Nate: You have a good evening.

Ashland: You do the same. Thank you.

[ Exhales heavily ]

Victoria: Are you okay?

Ashland: I’m fine. I may have to take it easy tomorrow, but it was worth it to have an evening like this.

Victoria: Well, I hope we have many more like it.

Ashland: I will do my best to give us that.

Abby: Sorry. It was a false alarm. Mariah just took the baby out to get some air, and she thought she’d be back before anyone noticed.

Mariah: Devon. Hi. I’m — I didn’t realize that abby called you. I’m sorry if this ruined your evening.

Devon: Oh, no, you didn’t ruin anything at all. But I’m gonna text lily and let her know everything’s okay.

Abby: And I am gonna bring this little guy to bed. Be right back. Come on, baby. Let’s go.

Mariah: I apologize. I-I just didn’t want to bother abby at work, and I figured i could handle it on my own. Then the baby started crying his head off. I had no idea what to do. I was worried that he might be sick or something, so I even called the pediatrician.

Devon: You did exactly what you were supposed to do. What did he say?

Mariah: Well, he said that a walk sometimes can lull a baby to sleep, so I tried it, and it did the trick.

Devon: Nice.

Mariah: But I just — I got so panicky and flustered, I-I forgot my phone, and I am kind of embarrassed. I crumbled under the pressure.

Devon: It doesn’t sound like that’s what you did. It sounds like you asked an expert for advice and then you did exactly what the baby needed and everything worked out fine. I’m actually happy that you were with dom and you followed your natural instincts.

Mariah: Man, this being a mom thing is not for wimps. It’s a lot harder than it looks.

Devon: Yeah.

Rey: Glad we’re getting off to a good start.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Well, I’m happy to have a do-over if, uh — what is this? That’s Connor’s.

Rey: Yeah. I’m returning it. [ Cap thuds ] I ran into him in the park earlier. I hadn’t seen him since we got back from Minnesota. Told me how much fun he’d had at lacrosse camp. Anyhow, when he took off with his nanny, I noticed he’d forgotten his cap.

Adam: Uh-huh. I remember when I bought this for Connor. He wouldn’t take it off for a week. He slept in it, took a bath in it. It’s his favorite. He would, uh, be crushed if he lost it.

Rey: Well, crisis averted.

Adam: Mm. I’m sure that he’ll want to thank you.

Rey: It’s not a problem.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Hey, and my dad told me about what happened to Mariah and how you helped track her down. Sounds like you deserve some major props.

Rey: Devon Hamilton’s the real hero. Make a pretty good detective. He had a feeling about Stitch, and he never let it go.

Adam: Well, I had no idea that things had gotten so far off course.

Rey: You say that as if you were expecting updates. Why would you think you’re part of the inner circle?

Adam: Because I care?

Rey: About Mariah or about Sharon?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, would you look at that. That is the longest conversation we’ve had without Sharon coming up. Sure was nice while it lasted, Rey, but your jealousy is constant.

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

Mariah: You do realize your pledge to torture and destroy Stitch would get us both locked away forever?

Faith: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: But I love how protective you are.
