Kyle: I’m not sure how long we’ll be waiting for grandpa, but in the meantime, I got a heads-up that mrs. Martinez made some of your favorite cookies. So how about you go to the kitchen and get some of those and go play in your old bedroom?

Harrison: Yum!

Kyle: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] While I wait to hear grandpa’s big news.

Nikki: I cannot believe what I’m seeing.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I know this must come as a shock.

Nikki: “Shock”?! Shock doesn’t begin to cover it. What the hell makes you think you can show your face in genoa city after the devastation you have caused?

Sally: [ Sighs ] I know I keep saying it, but it is just so awful. Poor sharon. How long were she and rey married?

Adam: Um…little over a year.

Sally: I mean, I don’t know sharon very well, but whenever i saw her at the coffee house, she always just seemed so content, happy and at peace, like she was genuinely grateful to be exactly where she was in her life. And rey just adored her — that much was obvious. And vice versa.

Adam: Well, sharon must be reeling. I’m just glad that noah is home from london, and it’ll help her to have all her kids around her.

Sally: Have you reached out to her?

Adam: I thought about it, but I don’t think that would go over well with her family, given my history with her. You know, I think she considers us friends now, but I just —

Sally: Wow, I am used to people thinking the worst of you, but seriously? You can’t even express your condolences to a friend?

Adam: I don’t want to do anything that will add to her emotional burden. She’s got enough to handle right now.

Sharon: [ Clears throat ] Thank you for insisting that i eat something. Um…you’re right, I need to keep my strength up. Rey would’ve said the same thing. And I feel better now, so… we can leave.

Nick: Sharon, there’s no rule about seeing rey at the morgue. If it’s too much for you, i mean, the last time you saw him, you told him you loved him. If you want that to be your goodbye, when you were happy, then just do it.

Sharon: No. No, I need to do this. I need to see him one more time.

[ Sighs ] Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank you for driving me. I don’t think I could do this without your support.

Nick: Whatever you need.

Sharon: Thank you.

[ Knock on door ]

Nick: Hey.

Victoria: Hey. I’m so sorry.

This is the story of two homes.

Sally: If I were you, I would not be worried about what her family’s perception might be. Sharon will know that your concern for her is genuine, and if it makes her feel even just a little bit better, that’s all that really matters. It’s never wrong to tell your loved ones that you’re there for them.

Adam: Well, thank you for that.

Sally: You’re surprised?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Um, a little bit.

Sally: Why? Look, I don’t have an issue with the fact that you still care about your ex.

Adam: Well, everyone else seems to.

Sally: Well, I hoped you would’ve realized by now that i am not like everyone else.

Adam: Hey. I do.

Sally: Well, I would’ve been a lot more concerned if you didn’t give a damn about what sharon was going through, ’cause honestly, I can’t imagine anything worse. Do you really think your family’s gonna have an issue with you reaching out to her after what you just did to save victoria and the company from ashland?

Adam: I am still wondering if he somehow caused the car crash. What was he doing anywhere near victoria? That son of a bitch was supposed to be gone a long time ago, and — unbelievable.

Sally: Adam, adam —

Adam: Hey! We made a deal. You were supposed to leave town. You were paid half a billion dollars to do it, so why are you still here?

Nick: Vick, how you feeling? Are you sure you should be out and about?

Victoria: I’m fine. I, um…I haven’t been able to stop thinking about rey since ashland told me what happened. I really — I — I can’t wrap my mind around it.

Sharon: Yeah, neither can I.

Victoria: It’s just not fair. I can’t imagine what you’re going through, and I just wanted you to know that if you need me for anything, if there’s anything that I can do…

Sharon: Um…well, thank you. You know, I’m — I’m fine. I have a lot of love and support around me, and nick has been wonderful. And the kids have been just a well of strength for me to draw from.

Victoria: Yes, your family always does come together when the times get tough. You and nick should be really proud about that. But if there is anything that i can do to help, I mean, if — if you need me to bring meals or maybe hang out with faith, if there’s anything at all you can think of…

Nick: That’s — that’s very kind of you, but I think we’ve got everything handled. We were actually just about to take off.

Sharon: Um, you know, actually, I forgot something in my room. I’ll be right back.

Nikki: Where in god’s name have you been all this time?

Diane: Living a quiet life under the radar while I pulled myself back together.

Nikki: Oh, you had to fake your own death to pull yourself together?

Diane: I needed a fresh start.

Nikki: How lovely for you. So you just gallivanted off to who knows where without a care in the world, leaving a trail of destruction in your wake. Back here, people’s lives were upended. I was charged with murder, which I’m sure you were thrilled to hear about that turn of events.

Diane: [ Sighs ] No part of this was enjoyable for me. I thought jack might have explained why I came back, what my intentions are.

Jack: I have no interest in make excuses for you.

Phyllis: Yeah, I second that. You decided to come back here and face the music. Start singing.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Nikki, I was utterly desperate. I didn’t know what I should do. I just knew that I had to get away.

Nikki: Well, then why didn’t you just go away? Nobody would’ve objected to that.

Diane: Because I had crossed some very powerful people, and i was terrified that they’d never leave me alone. Okay, maybe it wasn’t rational, but I wasn’t thinking rationally. I had boxed myself into a corner.

Nikki: Oh, and apparently you decided that the only way to get out of that box was to ruin my life. You know, if you had to play dead, you could’ve had the courtesy to stay that way. I have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.

Victoria: I really wish so much that I was able to stay with rey after the crash, and that way I could tell sharon that he wasn’t alone.

Nick: Come on, that was beyond your control. You were unconscious. You were lucky to survive that accident yourself. I still don’t understand what happened. I mean, why was ashland there? Was he chasing you? Did you force you off the side of the road?

Victoria: No. He was following me. I didn’t realize it. He said he was worried about me driving in the fog and being so upset.

Nick: Because you guys had it out at the office?

Victoria: Yes.

Nick: What’d he say to you?

Victoria: Nicholas, the details aren’t important now. I — I made it perfectly clear to him that things are over between us. But he’s right, I probably shouldn’t have been out driving in that state. You know, mom tells me that i shouldn’t feel guilty, but I do. If I weren’t driving, if i weren’t on that road…

Nick: Vick, this isn’t your fault. All of this is on ashland. None of it would’ve happened if it weren’t for him.

Sharon: Sorry, um…couldn’t help overhearing. I’m not looking for someone to blame. It was an accident, that’s all. I don’t want you to feel guilty. That wouldn’t help anyone. We’re all experiencing a lot of hurt as it is.

Victoria: I really appreciate you saying that. I didn’t come here looking for you to make me feel better.

Sharon: I know why you came. I appreciate the gesture, but, um… nick, I’m ready to go.

Ashland: It sounds like you need to reread our agreement. There was no mention of me leaving genoa city. I agreed to surrender control of newman/locke and to have my marriage to victoria annulled. That was it.

Adam: Why would you even want to stay in town? There’s nothing left for you here. Your career is over. Your former wife despises you. Oh. So it is about victoria. I mean, what move could you possibly have left when it comes to her? Were you angry that she rejected you? Now you want to punish her?

Ashland: Why do I get the feeling you wouldn’t mind if that was my motive? Because, adam, you have no affection for your sister. You just want to see her brought down a peg in any way possible.

Adam: That is rich coming from you. And I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m not bringing my sister down. I’m doing the opposite. I actually lifted her up by eliminating you from her life — an annoying parasite who latched onto its host and wouldn’t let go.

Ashland: I’m sure she’s very grateful to you for that.

Adam: What’s with the little bandage on your hand and the boot on your foot? This another bid for sympathy?

Ashland: I was injured pulling your sister from the wreckage of her car.

Adam: Well, excuse me for not taking your word for it. I don’t know anyone who would believe you at this point. Well, you’re probably just faking your injuries like you did your cancer. And even if you did rescue victoria, it’s not gonna be enough to win her back because there is nobody in this world that holds a grudge longer than my sister.

Ashland: You would know.

Adam: Look, why don’t you just do us all a favor and get the hell out of town?

Diane: I understand how you must feel.

Nikki: No, you don’T. You don’t have a clue. You have no idea how furious i am.

Diane: I bet you’re about to make that very clear.

[ Chuckles ]

Nikki: Your quote-unquote death set off a chain of events that wreaked havoc with my entire family, starting with legal charges for me and my husband.

Diane: That were dropped.

Nikki: Yes, you must have been so disappointed that victor and I weren’t given a life sentence for your murder. But you’ll be happy to know that we still suffered greatly. Just the anxiety and fear was agonizing. Nobody really knew what had happened or who was responsible for it. And, of course, your partner-in-crime deacon took full advantage of that.

Phyllis: Oh, wait a second, i have a question about that. Was it your idea to have deacon blackmail nikki for a murder she didn’t commit?

Diane: No, it wasn’T. Nikki, I know you won’t believe me, but it’s the truth.

[ Cellphone chimes ] I was a wreck at the time. I was barely hanging on. I had no control over what was happening back here.

Nikki: Well, you could’ve come forward. You could’ve let people know that you were alive and end this nightmare.

Jack: Okay, this is getting a little out of control. You wanted to see her for yourself, you’ve seen her. I am late for a meeting with someone.

Phyllis: Oh, the person we were talking about ear– okay.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Why don’t we go now and you can pick this up later?

Nikki: Jack, you and phyllis go. I still have some things I want to talk to diane about.

Jack: Nikki.

Nikki: It’ll be fine. I promise.

Phyllis: Well, it’s not like nikki can be charged with the same murder twice, so…

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Just in case, I’m taking this lamp. I warned you not to come out of here.

Diane: Goodbye, phyllis.

Nikki: Have a seat. There are some things we have to get straight.

Itchy?

Diane: [ Sighs ] Phyllis was right about one thing — I put myself in this position by coming back here. I needed to be prepared for people’s reactions, however stressful they might be.

Nikki: Oh, I’m sorry, it’s stressful for you?

Diane: But it’s a relief to finally have a chance to explain what I did and try to at least make amends for it. I’m sure you can relate to that.

Nikki: Oh, please, don’t even think about comparing yourself to me.

Diane: Well, you’ve obviously grown and changed a lot in the years since we’ve seen each other. Back then, weren’t you drinking? You were violent.

Nikki: When I attacked you, I was acting in self-defense.

Nikki: So was I, and that’s what you need to understand. I was scared and I was trying to protect myself. Only everything I was trying wasn’t working. Deacon offered me an escape route, and, yes, I took it. He might’ve had his own reasons for doing what he did, probably had to do with his twisted relationship with you, but that’s between the two of you.

Nikki: Oh, don’t make it sound like we’re still involved. I haven’t given that man a moment’s thought in years.

Diane: All I know is he gave me a way out and a chance to start over, and I’m going to repay him the only way I can — by making the most of this new life and not repeating mistakes of the past.

Nikki: Hmm. Well, you know what, diane? I don’t believe one word of this. You are still the same manipulative, conniving little bitch you always were. And an apology tour isn’t really gonna cut it, because everybody in this town is gonna see right through you.

Chelsea: Hey. Do you — do you want to sit down? I can get your order.

Victoria: Oh, thank you. That’s not necessary. It really just looks worse than it is.

Chelsea: You got lucky.

Victoria: Yes, I did.

Chelsea: I’m sorry, that — I’m sorry, that came out wrong. I just — I’ve been a little off today. Adam told me about rey. It’s just so shocking and horrible.

Victoria: Yes, it is. I — I would think that rey’s death might seem strange to you, since you tried to end his life a year ago.

Chelsea: What?

Victoria: Well, all I’m saying is that what happened last night is something that you tried to make happen before.

Chelsea: I wasn’t in my right mind. I never wanted rey to die. This is all hitting me very hard because rey was actually my friend. My good friend.

Adam: What could ashland hope to gain by sticking around? He’s ruined here, and victoria is done with him.

Sally: My guess is a man like that doesn’t have much experience coming out the loser, so maybe he still thinks he can snatch some sort of victory from the jaws of defeat. In any case, you should not let it get to you.

Adam: Well, it’s hard not to when he’s sitting on $500 million of newman money.

Victor: Hello, hello. Just came by to check in.

Adam: Well, it’s perfect timing because I was just about to call you. You will never believe who I ran into at society — ashland locke, bellied up to the bar, hanging out, having a cocktail.

Victor: Why is he still in town?

Adam: I don’t know. But he looked pretty damn comfortable. Downright smug, actually. I got the sense he was cooking something up, like he’s not done with us yet.

Victor: As if that bastard hasn’t done enough damage already. If he thinks he can take $500 million from me and mock me, he has another thing coming.

Sally: How is victoria doing?

Victor: Doing alright. I think rey’s death has added another layer of trauma to her. Otherwise, I think she’s okay. I just wonder if she knows that that bastard is still in town.

Adam: I’m not sure.

Victor: You know, we have to do everything in our power to keep him away from her, okay?

Adam: Mm-hmm. Speaking of rey, have you talked to sharon? I was thinking about stopping by to see her later and offer my condolences.

Victor: Son, I don’t think that’s a good idea.

Jack: It is good to have you back. Oh! You look good.

Kyle: You too, dad.

Jack: I think italy agrees with you.

Kyle: Summer and I are loving it, and she was disappointed she was too swamped with work to make the trip, but she asked me to give you a hug on her behalf.

Phyllis: Okay, I mean, it’s not the same thing, but I’ll take it. Taking care of my little girl?

Kyle: Like my life depends on it.

Phyllis: Good.

Jack: So where’s harrison?

Kyle: Upstairs playing.

Jack: Okay, eager as I am to see him, it gives us a chance to talk, then.

Kyle: Yeah, first, I just heard about rey. Lola posted about his passing on social media.

Jack: Oh, it is just heartbreaking, and I haven’t had a chance to talk to sharon yet.

Kyle: Yeah, I thought I’d call celeste and lola in a bit.

Jack: I’m sure they’d appreciate that. The few conversations I’ve had with celeste, it sounded like she had a very close bond with her son.

Phyllis: Yeah, when things like this happen, it makes you count your blessings, right?

Kyle: Absolutely. Family’s everything.

Phyllis: Yes, yes. I’m needed at the hotel, by the way, so I got to go. We’ll catch up later.

Jack: Thank you.

Kyle: So…since when does phyllis politely excuse herself?

Jack: What do you mean?

Kyle: She knows something i don’t, doesn’t she? And you wouldn’t have asked me to come all this way unless it was something major, so what’s going on, dad?

“The young and the restless”

will continue. (Cyclist) why is ice t in a speed walking crew?

Adam: Well, I admit, I have been debating with myself whether I should reach out to sharon.

Victor: Well, then your gut is telling you the right thing, okay? She has all the support she needs right now.

Sally: But couldn’t she always use more support? I mean, I’m just saying, why hold back?

Victor: If adam approached her now, a lot of people would misinterpret that and would think that he was being opportunistic.

Adam: I hope you’re not one of those —

Victor: No, son, I’m not. I appreciate the fact that you went your own way and you allowed sharon to do the same thing. It was the right thing to do.

Adam: Look, I just — I don’t want it to come off to her like I don’t care about what she is going through.

Victor: Son, I assure you, she knows the depths of your feelings. She doesn’t need any added conflict and stress. So let nicholas and her children comfort her now.

Chelsea: I know it must seem strange that rey and I became friends. Trust me, no one was more surprised than I was. I mean, he had every reason not to trust me. Yet, instead, he treated me with compassion, forgiveness. He was just a sweet man. Oh, and he was so good with connor.

[ Sighs ] That’s why he was on the road last night. He was about to pick us up for a hockey game.

Victoria: I had no idea.

Chelsea: He left the tickets at home, went back to get them, and never came back. I knew something was wrong. I knew he would never disappoint connor like that unless something terrible had happened.

[ Sighs ] Connor just adored him. He thought he hung the moon. Adam and I, we had to tell him earlier what happened, and it was really, really hard.

Victoria: I’m sorry for your loss.

Chelsea: It was a loss for everyone whose life he touched. Rey was just a great man. One of the greatest men I’ve ever known.

Nikki: I suppose I can understand jack feeling compelled to let you reach out to kyle. You are his mother, as unfortunate as that may be for him. But I don’t want you anywhere near my loved ones. Do you understand me? You stay away from victor and victoria and especially nicholas.

Diane: Hmm. Relax, I’ve got no designs on your husband or your son.

Nikki: And while you’re at it, you should probably avoid adam, too. As much as you thought people hated you back then, that’s nothing compared to how they’ll feel about you now.

Diane: Not everyone is as unforgiving as you.

Nikki: Oh, diane, you are in for a rude awakening. You’ll find no redemption here. As much trouble as your murder caused me and my family, we were so relieved to finally have you out of our lives. No one has ever wanted you here and no one ever will.

Jack: This is about what happened on my trip to los angeles after keemo died. And thank you again for stepping up business-wise. Gave me the space and time i needed to deal with my son’s passing.

Kyle: Of course, dad. Keemo’s been on my mind ever since you told me. Must have been incredibly painful for you to miss the chance to reconcile with him.

Jack: Yeah, it was a difficult time, but I’m grateful I got to know allie. Spent some time with her, got to know her — she’s a pretty amazing young woman. I hope you get to meet her soon.

Kyle: Is that what you wanted to talk to me about? Is there something about allie you want me to know?

Jack: No, that’s not it. I wanted you to know, though, how I first got to meet her so that you could understand the whole story…of who it was that led me to this discovery and why. We hit the bike trails every weekend

Phyllis: Okay, so take this to conference room B. Thank you. Oh, wow, hi. Lots of interesting people coming into my lobby today. How are you, ashland?

Ashland: Uh, I’m okay, thank you. Actually, I got a text from kyle this morning that he and harrison were coming into town, and now he’s not returning my texts or my phone calls.

Phyllis: Okay, what do you want me to do about it?

Ashland: Well, I was wondering if you had heard from him or from jack or if you knew where they were, what they’d be doing.

Phyllis: Um, I saw them earlier, and harrison, he was wiped out from the flight. He was taking a nap. He’s — he’s probably still napping. You should just wait for kyle’s response. You know, or I’ll just get with jack and we’ll get harrison and we’ll bring him to you. We’ll — we’ll come to your and victoria’s house.

Ashland: Okay, thank you.

Phyllis: I heard about the accident. Are you okay?

Ashland: Uh, minor burns, that’s all. Thank you, phyllis.

Jack: Keemo and I were not in touch with each other for many years. I didn’t even know he moved back to the states. In fact, I wouldn’t have known much about happened to him if i hadn’t gotten a cryptic, anonymous text.

Kyle: Okay, that’s strange.

Jack: So strange I almost didn’t respond. And when I did — or more accurately, when phyllis did — there were clues, there were hints that led me to allie. She was just as confused as i was, and it seemed for a time that I would never know who had sent me those mysterious texts.

Kyle: But you finally figured it out?

Jack: I did. The person sending me those texts, their reason for sending them…it was all about you.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Daddy, what are you doing here?

Victor: My poor girl. Wanted to see how you are.

Victoria: I’m okay.

Victor: I’m glad to hear that. I just wanted you to know that ashland locke is still in town.

Victoria: I’m aware. He called me.

Victor: I paid that man $500 million to leave you alone. He knows it.

Victoria: Dad, please, don’t get frustrated. Ashland was just checking on me after the accident, and even if he did want something else, it’s not gonna happen. We’ve terminated his contract. Our marriage is being annulled. He has no more power over us.

Victor: Legally, you’re right. But I am afraid it’s a bit more complicated for you, right?

Victoria: I told you yesterday, I can’t just make my feelings for the man disappear. And that was before he saved my life. But it’s not an issue. I’m moving on. Ashland knows it, and so do I.

Victor: [ Sighs ] You’re saying that now. But is it gonna be that easy for you?

Nikki: What are you still doing here? Why haven’t you left town?

Ashland: That seems to be a popular question for me today.

Nikki: So answer it.

Ashland: The answer is simple. I’m still here in town because i love your daughter. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Victoria: I am not the slightest bit tempted to trust ashland again. I’ve learned my lesson. I just…I wish I would’ve caught on a little sooner. I know, I know you tried to warn me, so you don’t have to remind me of that.

Victor: Didn’t come here to scold you, my sweetheart. That’s the farthest thing from my mind. I got to tell you, the hour between when your phone call to your mother was cut off and we found you…was arguably the most difficult moment of my life, okay? I’m so glad you’re alright.

Victoria: I’m sorry I scared you and mom. I’m sorry for so many things, dad.

Victor: Come here. I don’t want you to be sorry about a damn thing, okay? Everything will be alright.

Nikki: Your feelings are entirely irrelevant to me. My main concern is victoria. To protect her and help her heal. And the best way to do that is to keep her as far away from you as possible. I don’t ever want her to come face-to-face with you again.

Ashland: You didn’t seem to mind me being face-to-face with her last night. While I was saving her life.

Nikki: I appreciate you dragging her from the car. But that does not erase all of the things that you did leading up to that moment. Your lies, your deceit. The pain that you put victoria through. I will never forgive you for that. You say you love her? Then why would you insist on staying here and making things worse for her?

Ashland: That is not at all my goal. I want to make sure that victoria recovers fully from the accident, both physically and emotionally.

Nikki: You’re the last person to do that.

Ashland: I disagree.

Nikki: Her family will be the ones to help her recover, thank you.

Ashland: If you get your way, yes. But it’s not a forgone conclusion.

[ Sighs ] Victoria has free will and a beautiful, fiery, independent spirit. She will decide how she wants to deal with me. And quite frankly, I’m getting very tired of your family constantly complaining. You’re not gonna be able to get rid of me, short of murder. So I would suggest you get used to seeing my face around here.

Nikki: We’ll see about that.

Chelsea: Sharon. I don’t know what to say. There are no words. Rey was such a wonderful man.

Sharon: Thank you.

Chelsea: Uh…I mean, I don’t mean to intrude, I just wanted you to know how truly sorry i am.

Nick: Uh, sharon, why don’t you, uh, let me take you home?

Sharon: No, no, um…there’s some things that I want to do here. Plus, I want to talk to mariah about the wedding.

Chelsea: Oh, I’m sure that can wait. I mean, you’ve just been dealt this terrible blow. You should take as much time as you need to mourn your loss.

Sharon: I shouldn’t be mourning at all.

Diane: Jack, it’s me. I’m — I’m so anxious to see kyle and explain everything. Please — please let me know when he’s in town.

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Kyle: Okay, I don’t understand how this mystery in los angeles connects back to me.

Jack: The person who wrote me these texts is someone we used to know. Someone who wants our forgiveness. It turns out these messages about keemo and allie were sort of a show of good faith.

Kyle: But why? I don’t get it.

Jack: Kyle, I’m gonna tell you who it is, but before I do, I want you to know opening or closing this door is completely up to you and I will support any decision you make.

Kyle: This story just keeps getting stranger and more confusing. Why don’t you just give it to me straight, please? Just tell me what’s happening.

Jack: The person reaching out to me was…your mother. Diane. She is alive. She is here. And she wants to see you.

Jack: What are chances that three people we know — three people — in separate cars are in the same awful accident?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] I can’t wrap my head around it, actually.

Jack: The only mercy in it all, if you can call it that, is that rey didn’t suffer. The news said that he died instantly. Victoria and ashland are not as badly hurt. But, god, they’ve got to be devastated.

Phyllis: I’m sure sharon is having a horrible time.

Jack: Yeah, I’m gonna drop by and see her a little later today.

Phyllis: Mm, that’s nice. Yeah, in between knowing that diane is stuck upstairs in one of my hotel suites and kyle’s on his way from europe with harrison —

Jack: I barely slept last night thinking about the conversation I have to have with my son. When kyle finds out that diane is still alive, it’s gonna turn his world upside down.

Phyllis: Well, I’m glad you didn’t tell diane that he’s on his way. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to restrain herself.

Jack: Oh, which was made abundantly clear when i confronted her about showing up unannounced and unwelcome.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Not gonna answer me, huh?

Diane: Jack, I —

Jack: We had an agreement! You had no business being here until after I spoke with kyle.

Diane: Right, but — but I — I thought that maybe phyllis was right, that he wouldn’t want anything to do with me, that he would just turn right around and go back to milan and I wouldn’t have a chance to see him. So I — I just wanted to be close. I’m — I know that you can understand that.

Jack: It is still kyle’s prerogative to leave without seeing you.

Diane: And that’s what you’re hoping will happen, isn’t it?

Jack: Oh, you are damn right it is.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Tessa: I was surprised when you said you wanted to come home. I…thought you would want to be with sharon.

Mariah: Well, faith wanted to see moses before school, and my mom made it very clear that we couldn’t do anything for her. So I…I figured she would want some space after she came back from the morgue. Seemed like all those people around her, it was getting to her.

Tessa: Yeah, I was stunned when faith said she wanted to go to class.

Mariah: Maybe she thought being busier today was better.

Tessa: I hope that’s all there is to it.

Mariah: Should I call her?

Tessa: Couldn’t hurt.

Mariah: [ Exhales sharply ] Hey, uh, faith. I know you’re at school and you seem to be holding up alright, but, um, I just — I wanted to let you know, if — if you need to talk or text me or — or even if you want to come by. Tessa and I are always here for you. Okay, I love you. Bye.

Nick: So now that the kids are gone, I think you should hold off going to the morgue until you figure out what you want to do about rey’s funeral.

Sharon: I don’t know why i was so caught off guard by celeste’s request. She is his mother. It makes perfect sense that she would want him buried in miami. I guess I just wasn’t prepared for it, you know? I wasn’t prepared for any of this.

Nick: How could you be? It was…so sudden.

Sharon: So should I just agree to this…or should i fight to have my husband buried here in genoa city where he’s made a life here with me, with so many other people who loved and admired him?

Nick: Are you asking my opinion or just thinking out loud? ‘Cause I definitely don’t want to overstep.

Sharon: No, you wouldn’t be overstepping. I’d really like to hear your take on things.

Nick: Well, in that case, i think you should think about what rey would want.

Diane: I wish you wouldn’t be so heartless. I explained myself to you. I told you how much it would mean to me to reconnect with our son. Is it really so impossible for you to believe that I could’ve become a better person? Someone worthy of being kyle’s mother?

Jack: Yes, quite frankly, it is almost impossible for me to believe. Whether it’s true or not, i can’t ignore what you did in the past. I can’t just take your word for it that you won’t break kyle’s heart again.

Diane: Jack, please —

Jack: I told you this is why I don’t want you in our lives! And I hope to god kyle agrees.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: So you put diane in her place. Good for you.

Jack: Yeah, fat lot of good it did. She’s still here and she’s determined to spend time with kyle.

Phyllis: Um…I have ways of keeping an eye on her. Just saying.

Jack: Well, hopefully diane will cooperate.

Phyllis: Well, she’s cooperating so far. She’s mainly in her room. She’s ordered room service about four times.

Jack: Okay, well, I thank you for any help you can give me. There are a lot of other people in this town who should know that diane is among the living — chief among them, nikki.

Phyllis: Yeah, since nikki thought she killed her.

Jack: Yeah, I was hoping to talk to her in private, soon, but given what happened last night, I’m sure she’s focused on victoria and ashland. I don’t want to add to her woes if the situation’s under control and diane continues to stay hidden.

Phyllis: Oh, she’ll continue, alright, if she knows what’s good for her.

Diane: [ Sighs ] This waiting is driving me nuts. I can’t — I can’t just sit here like this.

Tessa: [ Sighs ] Here you go.

Mariah: Thanks. You know, this used to be rey’s apartment before he moved in with my mom.

Tessa: That’s right.

Mariah: He loved my mom so much. And they should’ve had years and years together, and…that’s lost now. How did this happen?

Tessa: You’re right, it doesn’t make any sense.

[ Knock on door ]

Noah: It’s noah. Anyone home?

Tessa: Oh, yeah, come in.

Noah: Hey. You guys keeping it together?

Tessa: Trying.

Mariah: I imagine we’re doing about as good as you are. Just hating every minute of this.

Noah: Yeah. Yeah, it’s just…

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. I guess I really don’t have any words. Despite how horrible I feel, i know it’s nothing compared to what mom’s going through.

Mariah: How was she when you left?

Noah: Just trying to be strong. Not fall apart completely. I think she didn’t want to be vulnerable in front of us. I don’t know.

Tessa: Mm, that sounds like sharon.

Noah: I mean, that’s why i took off. I’m hoping that, you know, spending some time with dad will help. Maybe he can do something the rest of us can’T.

Sharon: Even though rey lived in wisconsin for years and made it his home, a part of him never left miami. When we would go visit there, he’d have the biggest smile on his face. He loved showing me his favorite spots. We had A…really great time just hanging out in celeste’s kitchen with his family, sitting around a table, laughing, playing cards. Nibbling on whatever celeste was cooking. You know, a couple of times, he asked me if I could ever make myself leave the snow and cold here, go live in sunny florida. He was joking, of course.

Nick: I mean, he wasn’t really joking, right? Especially not in february.

Sharon: I think a part of him never left miami. A lot more than he was ever willing to admit. And I know that he wished that he could spend more time with arturo and lola and celeste, and…now they’ll never see him again. I think rey would want to be buried near his family, where they could visit him and feel close to him.

Nick: Are you sure?

Sharon: I’m positive. Thanks, nick. Talking this out really helped.

Nick: Of course. Glad I could help.

Sharon: I’ll make the arrangements to have rey’s body transported to miami. Do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? Now you can sell your policy – even a term policy – for an immediate cash payment. We thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. But we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. If you have $100,000 or more of life insurance, you may qualify to sell your policy. Don’t cancel or let your policy lapse without finding out what it’s worth. Visit coventrydirect.Com to find out if your policy qualifies. Or call the number on your screen. Coventry direct, redefining insurance. For people who are a little intense about hydration.

Sharon: I should call celeste back and let her know the plan right away, so she can start getting things coordinated on her end. She’s gonna need to call a funeral home, priest for the services, and…a cemetery. But, you know, I’ll do as much as I can to help her out on my end.

Nick: Well, uh, you don’t have to do all this by yourself, you know.

Sharon: But, nick —

Nick: I’m just saying, let me and the rest of the family take some of this responsibility off your shoulders.

Sharon: It’s really okay. I — I want to do this. I need to do this for rey.

Nick: I understand.

Sharon: And then once everything’s taken care of, i can turn my attention to mariah and tessa’s wedding, because they are not going to delay their marriage because of this, not if I have anything to say about it.

[ Knock on door ]

Nick: Hey.

Abby: Hey.

Sharon: Hi.

Chance: Sharon, we’re — we’re really sorry.

Sharon: Thank you. Me too. He was your partner and he was your friend. I know how close the two of you were. You must be shattered.

Chance: This is a terrible loss for all of us, especially you and your family and all the people in this community that were inspired by him.

Abby: We just wanted to stop by and see how you were doing.

Sharon: Um, I’m hanging in.

Abby: Well, we don’t want to impose, so if you’d like, we can just drop this food off and, you know, come back and reach out another time. What would you prefer?

Mariah: I’m sure you’re just as lost as we are. Trying to figure out how to be there for mom.

Noah: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I can take care of things around the house, look after faith, make sure she’s doing okay. That’s all important, but… I don’t know, I want to do more.

Tessa: I don’t know, I would just spend time with sharon. Show her how much you love her. That’ll bring her comfort. Maybe in time she’ll be willing to lean on you more. Just by being her amazing kids. That already makes such a world of difference.

Noah: Yeah, maybe. I don’t know, it’s just I feel like nothing’s gonna be enough. Nothing’s gonna take away the agony of rey’s death. His life was cut so brutally short, and I can’t seem to wrap my head around that. I mean, he was just — he was a really good guy.

Mariah: Rey was the best.

Noah: He was great to mom, all of us.

Mariah: [ Sighs ]

Noah: They were ridiculously happy together.

Tessa: I mean, that wasn’t by accident. They worked really hard. They went through a lot of stuff.

Mariah: Yeah, and they always came out the other side stronger for it.

Tessa: You know what always made an impression on me? There was this quiet, beautiful intimacy between the two of them. She always had coffee waiting for him whenever he had a break from work. And he always made an effort to plan these romantic nights — dinners, nights in.

Mariah: Yeah, that was really sweet.

Tessa: Fireworks are fabulous, but it’s nothing without a foundation. And what sharon and rey had…it felt like it could survive anything.

Noah: Adam’s interference, a battle with cancer.

Tessa: The way that rey took care of sharon when she was sick…took my breath away. He was so devoted to her, and she drew so much strength from him.

Mariah: That’s why I am so scared for her to lose him now, and I —

Tessa: What were you gonna say?

Mariah: No, I feel — I feel guilty and selfish for even thinking what I’m thinking. I mean, what’s wrong with me?

Jack: Kyle is gonna call me as soon as the jet lands. As much as I’m — whoa, whoa, whoa.

Phyllis: Oh. Oh, no.

Jack: Hey, where do you think you’re going?

Diane: I can’t stay cooped up in here. I am going crazy.

Phyllis: Well, you should’ve thought about that before you came into town.

Jack: Get back in the elevator now.

Diane: Who’s gonna recognize me? No one.

Phyllis: Oh, until you open your mouth, and then they’re gonna hear your voice and know it’s you.

Diane: I wasn’t planning on speaking to anyone, phyllis, just to walk around the park to stretch my legs. That is literally all I’m doing.

Phyllis: Are you kidding? She’s gonna screw everything up. You’re gonna screw everything up.

Jack: Yeah, and when one of your old enemies knows that you’re alive and in town before I have a chance to speak to kyle, this whole thing could blow up in your face. Are you willing to risk that just because you’re feeling a little antsy?

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Be ready for whatever life throws your way.

Phyllis: Diane, this is my hotel. Get out of the lobby — I’m serious. You don’t belong down here. If you want to relax, perhaps we’ll send a masseuse up to your room. That’d be great. Maybe a bottle of rosé. On the house, no arsenic.

Diane: Oh, that sounds lovely and not a threat at all.

Phyllis: No, let’s get up there. Come on, let’s go.

Jack: I’ll touch base later. Nikki. Hi.

Nikki: Hello.

Jack: I’m glad I saw you this morning. I’ve been thinking a lot about you.

Nikki: Before we get into that, what’s going on over there?

Jack: Where?

Nikki: Uh, phyllis leading some woman into the elevator in quite a hurry, too. Who was she?

Noah: Whatever you’re thinking, I’m sure it’s not nearly as bad as you’re making it out to be. And even if it were, who are we to judge?

Mariah: I feel sick about rey, and I’m so worried about mom. But underneath that, there’s this terror of what it would be like to go through that myself. To lose the person that…you love, who’s your whole life — I mean, how do you even move on from something like that?

Tessa: I wouldn’t feel guilty about having thoughts like that. After a tragedy like this, it brings up a lot of intense feelings and questions.

Mariah: Like, are people insane to love so fiercely when there’s so much to lose?

Noah: No. No, not at all. It’s hard enough to even find love. So when you do, you got to grab it and hold onto it for as long as you can. You can’t be scared of losing it. You just got to live it, come what may.

Tessa: Mariah…I am here, safe and well. And I would do anything to stay by your side, for better or for worse. You believe that, don’t you?

Mariah: I do. You know, it’s funny. The way you chose to reassure me, it sounded a lot like wedding vows.

Tessa: I thought the moment called for it.

Mariah: Well, we’re probably gonna have to wait a while for our wedding. I know mom said we couldn’t postpone, but I — I just can’t see how we should go through with it.

Tessa: I agree. We should wait.

Noah: Well, I don’t think we should just jump to any decisions. That wouldn’t be fair.

Mariah: Well, I mean, we wouldn’t be robbed of anything. A month ago, we didn’t even have a date.

Noah: I wasn’t thinking about you guys. I meant it wouldn’t be fair to mom.

Sharon: Why don’t you stay? I know how much you both cared about rey.

Nick: Yeah, sit down. Let me take this. I’ll put it away.

Abby: Sure, thanks.

Nick: While I’m doing that, let me get back to celeste, okay? You just visit with chance and abby. Like you said earlier, it would be better to get things underway sooner rather than later. Just let me do this for you, okay?

Sharon: Okay. I appreciate that.

Abby: Sharon, if there’s anything that you need, anything we can do…

Chance: Just say the word and we’re on it.

Sharon: Thank you. Things are pretty much under control right now.

Abby: Okay, well, if you change your mind…

Sharon: I appreciate that. Chance, you were the last person to hear rey’s voice.

Chance: Yeah, we — we spoke briefly on the phone as he was leaving the ranch.

Sharon: How did he sound?

Chance: Good. Like his usual self. Nothing stood out, if that’s what you’re asking. It was, uh — it was totally normal.

Sharon: When he was on his way out to go back to the house and pick up the tickets he’d left, I kissed him and said, “i love you.” It was very casual. It was no different than any of the other times we’d done that before, but…just I’m really glad we did that. I’m glad I told him. I had no idea that would be our last goodbye. Good checkup?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sharon: Sorry about that.

Abby: Please don’t apologize.

Chance: Yeah, we want to hear whatever you feel like sharing.

Sharon: Well, I think I’ve shared enough for the moment ’cause if I get started, I’ll turn into a puddle on the floor, and I don’t want that to happen.

Abby: Understood.

Chance: You know, earlier, when you said you knew how much we cared about rey, you were so right. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner, a better friend. I was truly glad to be working with him again.

Sharon: I know he felt the same way about you.

Chance: And everyone at the force held him in such high regard. I mean, paul would say all the time how much he respected his instincts and what a good example he was for the younger officers and rookies.

Sharon: Yeah, he really liked mentoring. It was kind of — it was his thing.

Chance: I remember he used to say that it’s better to teach someone to do the right things from the beginning rather than make up for the mistakes along the way. You know, he wasn’t just a good investigator. We always knew you can count on rey, no matter what. You know, if things got hairy out in the field, you knew rey had your back. And that went way beyond work. When I was in a crisis, I was changing my mind 10 times a day about whether I was ready to go back to work or not, rey was kind and patient with me. He always gave me stellar advice. You know, he always supported me. Even when the conversations were tough, I…I knew rey would be straight with me. I’m gonna miss that very much. Rey was a good friend.

Abby: To both of us.

Chance: He’ll never be forgotten.

Phyllis: Go. Don’t you dare leave this room without alerting me first, please.

Diane: Okay. So are you going to call room service?

Phyllis: What are you talking about?

Diane: Well, you promised me a bottle of rosé, remember?

Phyllis: Get it yourself.

Diane: On the house.

Phyllis: No, we’re not doing that for you.

Diane: Phyllis —

Phyllis: And by the way, the masseuse, he’s not coming up. If you want a masseuse, you call for it on your own. Got it?

Diane: So in other words, you will lie to my face if it means keeping me locked up in here.

Phyllis: Yes! I will lie to your face until you understand the severity and the stakes of the situation.

Diane: I understand them perfectly.

Phyllis: Well, then act like you understand it, diane. Or more stringent measures will have to be taken.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Like what?

Phyllis: Well, like possibly taking away your phone or…handcuffing you to that bed. Or locking you in the closet.

Diane: Hey, I’ve got a better idea. Why don’t you leave me the hell alone and stay out of this? Because you are constantly butting in where you don’t belong, and whether you like it or not, this is about jack and our son and me. Not you.

Phyllis: Oh, that’s where you’re wrong. This is very much about me. I’m not going anywhere.

Jack: How’s victoria doing?

Nikki: Physically, she’ll recover. But we’re all pretty shaken up about rey.

Jack: Just so tragic. He was a good man.

Nikki: From what i understand, nothing could’ve been done to save him. Victoria’s quite upset about it, even though it wasn’t her fault.

Jack: I’m sorry to hear that, but thank god she survived.

Nikki: Yes. Her injuries are minor. She’s gonna be okay.

Jack: What about ashland? How’s he doing?

Nikki: He’ll be fine.

Jack: Well, if there’s anything I can do to help, if —

Nikki: How about answering my earlier question? Why did you dance around the subject of that woman who got on the elevator with phyllis? Jack, I know you. I know when you’re being evasive, and if you keep it up, I’m gonna be more suspicious than I am now.

Jack: You’re bound to find this out eventually. I just don’t want you sandbagged. Are you sure you have the time and the emotional strength to handle this? I know you’re dealing with a lot at home.

Nikki: I’m quite well, thank you. And as far as my schedule, I was going to meet somebody here on newman business, but they canceled at the last minute.

Jack: There’s no easy way to say this.

Nikki: My god, jack, how bad can it be?

Jack: What I’m about to tell you is gonna blow your mind and then some.

Nikki: Okay, now you’re making me nervous. Whatever it is, will you please just tell me?

Jack: This is about diane jenkins and a dreadful night years ago when she was murdered in the park. Only she wasn’T. There was no murder — self-defense or otherwise. Because diane is not dead. She is alive and well and here in genoa city.

Why hide your skin

Noah: You have a date set — friday the 13th of may, last one of the year, right?

Tessa: Yeah, the next one isn’t until january.

Noah: Alright, then. You know, mom asked you to go along with the wedding as planned. I think you should honor her wishes.

Mariah: Noah, her husband just died. She’s in shock. I doubt she knows what she wants.

Noah: I’m sure she’s overwhelmed right now, and i agree, in the past, mom has not always realized what was best for her, but I can’t help but thinking that after everything she’s been through over the years, that she’s stronger now more than ever. So if she asks you to go along with the wedding, I think she means it. And who knows? Who knows? Maybe this will help her work through the pain of losing rey. This can be how you two help her cope. And I think the celebration needs to happen now more than ever.

Phyllis: Need I remind you that your son is also my son-in-law, so this is very much about me.

Diane: Hmm. Believe me, phyllis, I haven’t forgotten that kyle is married to summer. I just refuse to acknowledge that you and I are part of the same family tree.

Phyllis: Yeah, well, I find it equally abhorrent. Whatever you do to your son affects my daughter, you got it? You made it an agreement that you wouldn’t show up in genoa city until he had a chance to talk to kyle so kyle could process this.

Diane: And when exactly will that be?

Phyllis: I have no idea. Soon, I guess. Diane, if you want to parade around town and broadcast your resurrection, be my guest. I mean, I’m sure that kyle will appreciate your complete lack of discretion and your sensitivity.

Jack: I’m sorry, I know this is a giant bombshell I am dropping on you. I had hoped to sit with you and tell you all of this in private.

Nikki: I know you wouldn’t lie to me about this, jack, but it isn’t true. Diane jenkins is dead. Whoever that woman is is lying to you. It’s a trick.

Jack: Nikki, I’m telling you the truth. It is diane. I have seen her, I have spoken with her at length several times. So has phyllis. We both heard her sordid story. It is diane.

Nikki: Well, I don’t believe it. It simply cannot be.

Jack: Think back to that time. Diane had made an enemy of pretty much everyone she knew in genoa city with her lies and her schemes and her personal attacks. She felt the walls closing in, and she faked her own death to get out of this town and start her life in a new town.

Nikki: And how is that possible? Because there was a huge investigation into her death. I have spent all these years believing that I killed her in self-defense. So how did she manage to pull this off?

Jack: With a big assist from deacon sharpe.

Nikki: Deacon? That son of a bitch. And she has decided to rise from the dead now why?

Jack: She claims she is a changed woman. That she is reformed. And she wants another chance with kyle. She saw a giant opportunity, and she is still a master manipulator.

Nikki: Take me to her.

Jack: No, wait, nikki —

Nikki: Jack, I want to see this for myself. Does your plug-in fade too fast?

Mariah: I’m not sure you made your point, noah. Tell us how you really feel.

Noah: Alright, I might have gone a little overboard. I’m sorry, I don’t mean to pressure you guys. Obviously, it’s your decision, and if you want to push the wedding ’cause, you know, you’re grieving for rey and it all feels like a little too much to deal with, then by all means, please postpone. All I’m saying is don’t push it back for mom’s sake when she stated very clearly that’s not what she wants you to do.

Mariah: You’re pretty smart.

Noah: Don’t sound so surprised.

[ Chuckles ]

Tessa: Okay, so the wedding is still happening on schedule.

Mariah: Yeah.

Noah: Great.

Mariah: You know, now that i think about it, maybe it is the perfect time, say our vows in front of all the people we love while we’re hurting and missing rey. You know, try to spread a little hope and joy.

Tessa: And promise to be there for each other, no matter what.

Sharon: Thanks, you guys, for everything, for the food and the kind words about rey. That — it really meant a lot to me.

Chance: Well, if you need anything, consider us on call.

Abby: Make sure she doesn’t forget that.

Nick: I will, I promise.

Abby: Take care.

Chance: Bye.

Sharon: Appreciate it, you guys.

Nick: So I talked to celeste.

Sharon: What did she say?

Nick: Well, she is very, very grateful that you’re honoring her request. So I went ahead and made the arrangements to have rey transported down to miami after the autopsy’s finished.

Sharon: [ Sighs ] The autopsy. Oh, that means that I don’t have that much time to go to the morgue and see him. Um…would you go with me right now?

Nick: Sure. You up for that? Earlier, you weren’T.

Sharon: I don’t know how i could ever be ready to walk into that place, but…I need to see him. I need to say goodbye.

Kyle: This is your grandpa jack’s house, remember? He’s gonna be so happy to see you.

[ Groans ] Dad, we’re here! The plane got in early.

Harrison: Grandpa?

Kyle: Dad? Anybody home? Huh. Well, your grandpa said he’d be here waiting for us all morning. Something must’ve come up. Wonder what it could be.

Diane: You have a real talent for blowing things out of proportion when it suits your purpose. All I wanted to do was take a walk, get some fresh air, in disguise. I do have a teeny bit of practice when it comes to remaining undetected.

Phyllis: Not in genoa city, you don’T.

Diane: Oh, fine, fine. Fine! Go ahead and paint me as reckless and egocentric. I know I’m never going to convince you I’m a different person. And you know what, phyllis? I don’t care, because the only people that matter to me here are jack and kyle.

Phyllis: All the more reason to stay inside.

[ Knock on door ] That’s probably jack.

Jack: Change of plans.

Nikki: Where is she?

Nick: Beautiful morning. It’s like the universe is trying to make us feel better.

Noah: What’d you say, dad?

Nick: [ Sighs ] Nothing. Did you call mariah?

Noah: Yeah, yeah, her and tessa are coming over. God, man, it was — it was just awful having to tell them that rey died.

Nick: Look, it’s gonna be a difficult next couple days. There’s a lot of things we’re gonna have to do to help your mom, you know, to help her get through this.

Faith: Last night, I kept trying not to cry in front of her because I didn’t want to set her off.

Nick: Faith, if you got to cry, you cry, okay? Don’t hold back. I’m just talking about all the little things we need to do so she doesn’t have to worry about them, alright? Has anybody seen her this morning?

Faith: No, I kept hearing her move around in her room last night, so I don’t think she slept much.

Nick: Well, we’re gonna let her sleep as long as she wants. I went by the coffee house just to check in, and I brought some muffins and stuff.

Noah: Did you break the news to everyone there?

Nick: I did. Denise is gonna open and close for a while, so we don’t have to worry about that.

Faith: I can help out around here, too, so she doesn’t have to do any of the cooking or cleaning.

Nick: Good.

[ Sighs ] I guess I need to call rey’s family, you know, let celeste, arturo, and lola know.

Noah: I can handle the funeral arrangements.

Sharon: No. That’s for me to handle.

[ Knock on door ]

Chelsea: Adam.

Adam: Hi.

Chelsea: What is it? Is connor okay?

Adam: Connor’s fine. Can I come in?

Chelsea: Yeah, of course. What’s wrong? You never just show up here unannounced.

Adam: You haven’t heard?

Chelsea: Heard what?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Um…[ Sighs ] There was an accident last night.

Chelsea: Oh, no. It’s rey, isn’t it?

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

Nikki: Oh, you are here. Why haven’t you returned my calls?

Victoria: Just had a lot on my mind.

Nikki: I’m sure.

Victoria: And I turned my phone off.

Nikki: I stopped by your house to check on you. I didn’t think you would be coming in today.

Victoria: I have so much to do.

Nikki: I really think you should be at home resting after your car accident.

Victoria: I’ve been cleared for work, mom.

Nikki: Well, I was at the hospital, and I hear the doctor tell you how lucky you were to have only gotten a sprained knee.

Victoria: Yes, I know that. She gave me a knee brace and this ridiculous cane to use for a bit, so…

Nikki: She also told you to rest.

Victoria: I’m fine, mother. I’m not going to be moving around a lot.

Nikki: Darling, I’m not just talking about physical rest. I’m sure you’re still in shock over the accident and everything that happened with ashland anD…

Victoria: And rey’s death.

Ashland: Victoria! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!

[ Groans ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Come on. Victoria?

[ Turn signal clicking ] Thank god you’re still alive. Okay, I’m gonna get you out of here. Here we go. Come on. Come on. Here we go. I got you.

Nick: Sharon, I really think you should be resting.

Sharon: I’ve got things to do. I can’t stay in bed all day. Um…I’m going to be strong. Rey would not want to see me falling apart.

Noah: Hey, mom, can we get you something to eat?

Faith: Dad got some muffins from crimson lights, or I can make you something hot.

Noah: How about some coffee?

Faith: Or tea?

Sharon: No, no, thank you. I’m fine. Um…you really don’t need to babysit me or wear kid gloves around me.

Faith: We’re just worried about you. We want you to know that you can lean on us.

Sharon: Hey, I don’t want any of you trying to hide your feelings when you’re around me. Alright? We’re all in this together. We’re gonna get through this together. For rey, okay?

Noah: Got it. For rey.

Sharon: Um, nick, I’m gonna make the call to rey’s family.

Nick: Are you sure that you don’t want me to call celeste, or maybe we can have somebody from the police department call?

Sharon: No. No, I actually practiced what i was going to say to her last night. But…how do you tell a mother that her son is dead?

[ Exhales sharply ] I’m fine. I’m fine. Hi, celeste. It’s sharon. Yeah, it’s really good to hear your voice too. Um…hey, I, uh — I have some really bad news. It’s rey. Rey, my wonderful husband and your beloved son…he’s gone.

Chelsea: I told myself all night rey must have gotten called into work, some last-minute case or something. Right? I mean, because he was so excited to take connor to the hockey game, but an accident. An accident, that makes sense. You know, I’m gonna give him a hard time about that because he really went to extremes to avoid taking us to this game.

Adam: Chelsea —

Chelsea: You know what? I’m just gonna call him.

Adam: Rey was driving back from the ranch with the hockey tickets when his car crashed. Rey died.

Chelsea: Oh, my god.

Adam: I am sorry.

Chelsea: I mean, I don’t — i don’t — I don’t understand. How could this happen?

Adam: It was foggy. It was a three-car accident, and victoria and ashland were actually in the other two cars.

Chelsea: Oh, my god, are they okay?

Adam: Yeah, rey was the only one that — that died.

Chelsea: Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Oh, sharon — does sharon know?

Adam: Nick told her, last night.

Chelsea: Connor. What about connor? Have you told him yet?

Nikki: I just think you’re back at the office too soon.

Victoria: The worst thing that I could do right now is stay at home and fixate on the situation. It would just — [Sighs] Just build up in my mind and overwhelm me. I need to be here. It’ll distract me from the guilt.

Nikki: You shouldn’t feel any guilt.

Victoria: I know, mom, okay? Everybody says that I shouldn’t feel guilt, but I do.

[ Sighs ] I shouldn’t have been driving in the first place after what happened with ashland and especially not in the fog.

Nikki: Sweetheart, rey’s death, however tragic, is not your fault.

Victoria: How do you know that? How does anyone really know that?

Ashland: How did you know i was here?

Victor: What do you mean how did I know you were here? I have my people keep tabs on you.

Ashland: I eluded your men pretty easily last night.

Victor: And if you hadn’t, that accident could have been avoided.

Ashland: Is that why you stopped by here, victor, to talk about what-ifs and other hypotheticals?

Victor: You mean like if i offer a man half a billion dollars to get the hell out of town and start a new life, and he’s still here? You mean like that hypothetical?

Ashland: I’ve honored the terms of the deal. I left the company. I’ve agreed to have my marriage annulled. Why you’re so upset this morning that I’m still here, I don’t know. You didn’t say a word about it last night at the hospital. In fact, you barely said a word to me at all.

Victor: Now, why the hell would I say a word to you? When I came to the hospital to see my daughter, I’m concerned about my daughter’s welfare, not yours. You think I came here to check up on you?

Ashland: The thought never occurred to me.

Victor: Tell me what happened. (Woman) is there a natural litter that actually works?!

Ashland: You and your family may despise, and for good reason, but my love for victoria has always been genuine.

Victor: Please spare me all that romantic nonsense, okay? You can keep it for your diary. Just give me the facts about the accident. What happened?

Ashland: I left the office last night.

Victor: You mean victoria threw you out.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] And I wanted to make sure she was okay, so I hung around the building for a while, but then i spotted your two guys. I figured they were there to try to run me out of town somehow. I drove around for a bit and i lost them. I went back to newman tower about the same time victoria was leaving. I thought she was going home. There was a lot of fog. I was worried about her, so i decided to follow her, make sure she got there safely. Turned out she was going for a much longer drive.

Victoria: I don’t really remember much. It’s all a blur.

[ Sighs ] I was upset, and I was on the phone with you. I don’t remember after that.

Nikki: Well, the police will investigate. They’ll be able to piece it all together and maybe give you some more answers that can alleviate some of your guilt.

Ashland: Out on the highway, I kept my distance following her. I saw a car approaching from the other direction.

Victor: You mean rey rosales’ car.

Ashland: Yeah, that’s right. I didn’t find that out till later. He was driving erratically. I don’t known why. Maybe he was trying to avoid something in the road, but…it was hard through the fog to see from that distance. I did see his car, though, veer into victoria’s lane, come straight at her. She swerved, went off the road, straight into a tree. I was watching her. I didn’t realize that rey was now coming straight at me, so i turned very sharply, and he slammed into the side of my car. I guess the impact made him flip over. I don’t know. I — I didn’t see that happen, but, uh…when I saw the car later, it was upside down. I ran into something and was knocked unconscious. Not for very long, I think. But when I came to…I saw victoria, I saw the flames. I struggled to get out of my car. I rushed to her. The flames were getting more and more intense, but I didn’t care. I just knew that I had to rescue her. I pulled her out with only seconds to spare before the car was engulfed in flames.

Victoria: One minute I was driving, and then I was surrounded by flames and being pulled out of the car. And he carried me to safety.

Nikki: Ashland.

Victoria: He risked his life to save mine. The very person that I wanted to forget and…the reason that i was out driving in the first place.

[ Sighs ]

Victor: You saved my daughter’s life by risking your own. In spite of all the disdain and disgust I feel for you, in spite of all the harm and damage you’ve done to my family… I’m grateful.

Victoria: Ashland was there. And he saved my life. My life, not rey’S. Which only compounds my grief and my guilt.

Nikki: Victoria, stop thinking that way. What happened to rey is heartbreaking, but, my god, you’re alive. And for that, I will thank god and even ashland.

Sharon: And that’s all we know right now, but if I get more details, I will call you and let you know, of course. I’m so, so sorry. Please give my love to arturo and lola and the entire family. Yeah, let me know — let me know if you need anything, okay? We will get through this together, celeste. Um, listen, I’m going to handle the funeral arrangements from my end, but I will coordinate with you in case you have any specific requests and — what? Oh. Uh, okay, I understand. I will be in touch, then. Goodbye.

Nick: You’re very brave for making that call.

Sharon: I had to, mother to mother. She was very strong.

Noah: She’s probably still in shock.

Nick: Yeah, we all are. What did she say at the end of the phone call? It seemed like it bothered you. If you’ve been living with heart disease,

Mariah: Mom, is there anything we can do?

Tessa: We can help with calls or the arrangements?

Sharon: Well, I just made the hardest call.

Mariah: To celeste. Oh, my god, lola. I didn’t even think — we need to call lola.

Tessa: Oh, no, let her mom break the news. We can talk to her later.

Sharon: Well, we still have a lot of people we do need to call.

Noah: I already took care of our immediate family, mom.

Sharon: Oh, thank you, noah. What about chelsea and connor? Connor, that poor kid. Rey was supposed to take him to a game. He — he loved rey.

Faith: Everybody loved rey, mom.

Sharon: He’s really gonna take this hard. Who — who’s gonna tell connor?

Nick: I talked to adam. He’s gonna handle it.

Adam: I haven’t told connor yet. I think it’s a conversation that we both need to be a part of.

Chelsea: Thank you for waiting.

Adam: Mm-hmm. I kept him out of school. I didn’t tell him why, I just — I didn’t want him to hear it from teachers or from any of the other kids.

Chelsea: That’s a good idea. Sorry, I’m just having a — I’m just having a hard time comprehending all this. Um…but — but connor has to be our focus.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Adam: I agree. Um…but we have to tell him soon. I mean, everyone’s gonna be talking about this at the ranch, and I want him to hear it from us.

Chelsea: You’re right, we need to take care of connor. He’s a sensitive kid. And he adored rey. I mean, their bond was — was growing. This is going to be very, very hard on him.

Adam: Do you want to come with me now?

Chelsea: I think we should tell him here.

Adam: Okay, well, I will go get him. Give you some time to process the news. We just have to be careful what we say to him.

Chelsea: Of course.

Adam: Chels, this was a horrible accident, and it wasn’t anybody’s fault. We need to make sure that he understands that.

Ashland: I don’t need or expect gratitude from you or any of the newmans. I saved victoria because she needed to be saved, and I will never stop loving her.

Victor: And my thanks and gratitude for that is all you will get. You will leave town and never set foot in my daughter’s life again.

Ashland: That should be up to victoria.

Victor: Let me make myself clear. One act does not change our arrangement. If it hadn’t been for you, victoria would not have been on that road. You are responsible for her being on that road and for that accident and for rey rosales’ death as anyone.

Ashland: Victor, I’m not leaving town. I need time to heal.

Victor: You will leave town. We made a deal. You better keep up your end of that deal. Otherwise, you will have hell to pay.

[ Door slams ]

Mariah: Hey, mom.

Sharon: Yeah?

Mariah: I just wanted to let you know, if you need someone to stay here, to help out or…or even just somebody to talk to.

Tessa: Or faith can stay with us if you want to be alone.

Sharon: Thank you, but you don’T… we don’t need any more disruptions to our normal routine, okay? This is upsetting enough without more disruptions.

Tessa: Okay. We’ll stay put.

Mariah: Yeah.

Sharon: Hey, well, besides, you two need to spend time together. You have a wedding to plan. It’s right around the corner you know.

Mariah: Mom, no.

Sharon: What do you mean?

Tessa: The wedding is a non-issue.

Mariah: Yeah, under the circumstances, we couldn’t possibly go through with it. We’ll just postpone it until a later date.

Sharon: No, I’m not gonna let you do that. Go with simparica trio it’s triple protection made simple!

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Tessa: Sharon…this isn’t a time for celebration.

Mariah: Without rey at the wedding, it’s just not gonna be the same.

Sharon: You cannot delay. Rey was so happy for you two.

Faith: I’m sure rey would understand pushing the wedding date.

Sharon: No, you’re wrong. You cannot delay this. Rey would absolutely hate it if he were responsible for you delaying your big day.

Nick: Let’s just take it one step at a time, okay? I mean, this just happened. Let’s focus on the funeral and the arrangements. We don’t have to make any decisions about the wedding right now.

Mariah: Hey, what’s wrong?

Sharon: The funeral. Celeste, when I talked to her earlier, the thing that she asked about was…they want to, um, be able to bring rey home for the funeral. She wants rey to be laid to rest in miami.

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

Victoria: This is victoria.

Ashland: Thank you for answering. I wasn’t sure you would.

Victoria: Of course. Just hold a moment. Mom, I have to take this. Thank you for checking on me.

Nikki: I’ll see you later.

Victoria: What do you want?

Rey: I don’t want to intrude. I’d just be a third wheel in your mother-son time. I know how much connor treasures his time alone with you.

Chelsea: Oh, no, no, no, no. No, no, you’ve got it all wrong. When I first told connor that i would be taking him to chicago, his first question, “yeah, but rey’s still coming with us, too, right?”

[ Laughs ] He really wants to watch this game with you. You’ve become his new best friend. Please don’t let him down.

Rey: I’d be happy to go with you.

Chelsea: [ Crying ] Ever leave your clothes in the dryer

Ashland: I looked for you at the hospital after my burns were treated. I, um… they said you’d already left. I just wanted to know if you were okay and find out what the doctor said.

Victoria: I’m gonna be fine. I, um, have a couple of bruises and a sprained knee. I guess I got lucky.

Ashland: Good. I’m — I’m glad to hear that. I keep replaying it in my mind — the fire, the twisted metal. It was like some kind of a hellscape or something. It could have been a lot worse.

Victoria: But you pulled me out.

Ashland: Thank god.

Victoria: How are you? Your burns looked really painful. How’s your foot?

Ashland: There’s pain, but — but I can handle it, so… in fact, I, um — I probably deserve it.

Victoria: Well, the person who didn’t deserve what he got last night was rey.

Ashland: I agree.

Victoria: [ Sniffles ] I can’t help feeling responsible.

Ashland: No, victoria, you have to find a way to let go of that guilt. If you want to blame somebody, blame me, okay?

Victoria: How can I do that when you saved me? Where are you?

Ashland: I spent the night at the grand phoenix. I’ll be leaving town soon.

Victoria: I assumed that was the case.

Ashland: I’m sorry. For everything.

Victoria: I… I have to go.

Nick: How do you feel about rey being buried in miami?

Sharon: I don’t know. I never even considered it until celeste mentioned it just now on the phone. I just assumed that rey would be buried here, but I understand, you know, he was born and raised in miami, and to celeste, that is his home.

Faith: This is home, too.

Sharon: Well, I feel the same way. This is his home. He belongs here with me, with us. We are his family.

Noah: Yeah, but there’s another side to it. If any of us were to move away and, god forbid, something happened, mom, she would move heaven and earth to get us back here to genoa city. It’s our home. I’m sure rey’s mom feels the same way.

Sharon: As a mother, I do understand where celeste is coming from. I still just feel like rey belongs here with us. Any suggestions?

Nick: I think you should take some time with this. You don’t have to make a decision about it right now.

Sharon: [ Sighs ] You know who was always good at helping me make choices like this? Rey.

Connor: What’s wrong, mom?

Chelsea: I’m just tired. You’re still wearing your hockey jersey.

Connor: Yeah.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Connor: I can tell something’s wrong. What’s going on? Why’d you keep me home from school? It’s never anything good when you guys want to talk to me together. Am I in trouble?

Adam: No. No, not at all.

Chelsea: Um…connor, we have to tell you something that’s very sad.

Connor: What is it?

Chelsea: Um…I don’t know how to say it, so I’m just gonna say it.

[ Sighs ] Um…

Adam: Rey was in a car accident.

Connor: Is he alright?

Adam: He, um…I’m very sorry to say this, connor, but rey died.

Connor: No, that can’t be true. I just saw him last night.

Chelsea: It’s a shock, i know, connor.

Connor: Is that why he didn’t come back to crimson lights? Did he die because he went home to get the hockey tickets?

Adam: It was an accident. It was unexpected, and nobody —

nobody — is to blame.

Connor: But he was driving because he was taking me to a game.

Adam: No one knows what caused it. The weather was bad. There could’ve been something on the road. But the point is none of this is your fault. Do you understand? What happened to rey is very, very sad. But your plans had nothing to do with rey’s accident.

Connor: I feel bad.

Chelsea: I know.

Adam: I know. And it’s okay.

Connor: But I really feel bad for mom. They’d become such good friends.

Chelsea: You’re right. We did become good friends. And I’m gonna miss him a lot. Hi, I’m pat and I’m 75 years old.

Victor: Sweetheart, I just ran into your mother. She said you’d be working here.

Victoria: There’s a lot to be done.

Victor: Don’t you think you should leave company business alone right now? You need to rest, you know.

Victoria: The future of newman/locke is entirely on my shoulders. I don’t want to let anyone down.

Victor: Sweetheart, I find your determination admirable, but this is too much now. You need to rest.

Victoria: That’s why I’m behind. I need to get caught up.

Victor: Okay. Well, what do you think if we had adam continue as temporary ceo, you know? He can run the whole thing until you have sorted everything out with ashland locke.

Victoria: Absolutely not.

Adam: Well, maybe we should head back to the ranch. You know what? We could stop for some ice cream on the way back.

Connor: I think I’m too sad for ice cream.

Chelsea: And it’s okay to be sad. You should go with your dad, and we’ll do something together later, okay? Something to honor rey’s memory.

Connor: I’d like that.

Chelsea: [ Crying ] Ah!

[ Sobbing ]

Sharon: I was so worried about that little duckling, but rey took care of it. We went down to the lake, and he rescued her.

Faith: I could listen to stories about rey all day.

Sharon: Me too. But I have something that I have to go and do.

Tessa: What’s that?

Sharon: I need to go to the morgue. Rey’s body is there. And I need to say goodbye. Who knows, maybe it’ll help me decide about the funeral.

Nick: Well, I will drive you.

Sharon: Thank you.

Nick: We’ll leave whenever you’re ready.

Sharon: Alright.

Noah: Mom…

Sharon: NoaH…I’m fine. Okay, we can go.

Mariah: Mom, wait. There’s just something I have to tell you. And it’s what you would have — and you have — told me in the past. Please let your emotions out. We’re strong enough to handle your grief and we want to help you through it.

Faith: Yeah. You said we’re all in this together. Let us be here for you.

Noah: You’re always worried about everyone else.

Mariah: But you just lost your husband.

Tessa: You can be yourself with us. We’re not afraid of your tears.

Nick: I couldn’t agree more, sharon. You say you’re okay, but you have to be in pain. Just share that with us.

Sharon: I am going to be strong. I need to be strong, because if I let go, I may never recover.

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Mariah: You’ve been an amazing person in my life, and you’ve loved me like a daughter. And I know what an amazing father you were to my sister, so would you walk me down the aisle?

Traci: You can always tell me anything.

Kyle: I don’t even know where to begin.

Jack: This is about diane jenkins. She is alive and well and here in genoa city.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: Where did the accident happen?

Victor: Apparently near that blue house out on highway b, you know, just outside of town.

Nikki: And your security team is going out there?

Victor: Hopefully they’ll be there very soon.

Nick: Has anybody seen or heard from ashland since they lost track of him?

Victor: No, and that’s the point. I’m very concerned that he might have been involved in that chaos.

Nick: I got to get out there to the scene myself.

Nikki: I’m gonna go with you.

Victor: No, sweetheart, if you go, then I go.

Nick: No, no, no, look. We all know it’s better for everyone if you both stay here. We don’t know what’s going on out there. We don’t know if victoria’s even involved. What’s gonna happen if she shows up here, looking for us, and we’re not here?

Nikki: Okay, you’re right.

Victor: Thanks, son. Now, please, drive carefully. It’s very bad weather out there, okay?

Nikki: Let us know as soon as you hear anything.

Nick: I will. Try not to worry, alright? She’s gonna be fine.

Victor: Go, my boy.

Victoria: No. No, no, no, no, no. R-rey cannot be dead.

Ashland: I am so sorry.

Victoria: No, just — just tell me again. Just tell me one more time, because I — I don’t think I’m hearing things right.

Ashland: I didn’t want to believe it either, but it’s true.

Victoria: I was talking with my mother on the phone, and then, uh… you have to be wrong. I mean, he can’t be — you don’t even know rey.

Ashland: I’ve seen him around town. I recognized him.

Victoria: I know rey. I know rey really well. I know how hard he works and i know — I know how much he loves his wife, and I know that he took time off of his job so that he could help her when she got sick because he adores her. And she told me that he’s the one that saved her life, so, no. No, no. No, I — you can’t sit there and tell me that it’s rey.

Ashland: Victoria, I’m positive. I’m sorry.

Victoria: Well, then you’re wrong, you’re wrong, and we should go and check. We should go out there and check and see, because whoever it is, we owe it to him and his family to make sure that — that he gets help, because I know it’s not rey.

Ashland: We can’t —

Victoria: We can, we can. We go right now. I — I have to see what happened, so maybe there’s still time to help him. This cannot be —

Ashland: You are in no condition to go anywhere.

Victoria: No, take me there now, damn it. Take me now, take me now.

Chance: Ooh, the wildest hockey game I’ve ever seen… oh, this one was unreal, because one team, you see, had nothing but talent — best players from the best schools — and the other team, they looked like they didn’t even know what a hockey stick was.

Chelsea: Chance.

Chance: No, it’s true, it’s true. It should’ve been a blowout, right? But the goalie for the underdogs, right? This man was in it to win it. He didn’t let that puck come anywhere near that goal. And there was this one time, right? That thing was coming right down the ice, looked like there was nowhere else for that thing to go besides the back of the net. And it took one look at that goalie and it stopped — right there in the middle of the ice. Just put on the brakes.

Connor: Did not.

Chance: Oh, it did. I saw it with my own eyes.

Connor: That must have been so much fun.

Connor: Oh, it was the best. Are you kidding me?

[ Chuckles ] But don’t you worry, you’re gonna see plenty of hockey games in your lifetime, man.

Chelsea: He’s right, you know.

Sharon: Rey’s gonna make it up to you. He was really looking forward to hanging out with you tonight.

Connor: It’s okay. He probably got called away on some important police business. Right, chance?

Connor: Hey, that’s the thing about being a cop — you’re on duty all day, every day.

Connor: Like being a superhero. Even if you’re in the middle of dinner or doing homework, if you’re needed, you go.

Chance: That’s right, that’s right. I mean, sharon, you must know all about that. How many meals have been interrupted because of rey’s job?

Sharon: Oh, more times than i care to recall.

Chance: I mean, it goes with the territory.

Connor: Okay. What was your favorite hockey game?

Chance: Ooh. My favorite favorite? Okay, wow. Walnut grove warriors versus the rock creek rowdies.

Connor: Seriously?

Chance: Seriously. I mean, those rowdies got more grit than any team I’ve ever seen. I mean, those kids lived, breathed, and they ate ice. All year long, they actually eat ice. They got no teeth. They’re all gum.

Connor: [ Laughs ]

Chance: I swear, and those rowdies were dangerous, I tell you, and they never lost a game. Till they played old walnut grove.

Victoria: Rey could be — he could be unconscious or he could be severely injured, and we just have to find a phone. We have to — we have to find a phone. We have to make sure that he stays warm and that he’s safe until help comes.

Ashland: Victoria —

Victoria: Did you try cpr? Well, we have to do that.

Ashland: Victoria —

Victoria: We can’t just leave him out there all alone.

Ashland: He’s gone. I’m sorry. Too much time has passed.

Victoria: Well, that’s not an excuse to just give up on him.

Ashland: He wasn’t breathing. He had no pulse.

Victoria: No!

Ashland: I checked. I stayed as long as I dared, and I checked again.

Victoria: Oh, god. I can’t believe I did this. Life’s been hard enough.

Nikki: Maybe you should call your security people again.

Victor: Sweetheart, they’ll alert us as soon as they have definite information.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Why haven’t we heard anything from nicholas?

Victor: Baby, because he is following our advice. I asked him to drive carefully. It’s very bad weather out there.

Nikki: I just hate this.

Victor: I know.

Nikki: We never should have let victoria go off on her own. She was too upset about what ashland did to her.

Victor: At least she has us to turn to, alright?

Nikki: We should be out there looking for her.

Victor: Sweetheart, come here. We’re gonna do as our son tells us. We’re gonna stay put, okay? Until we get more information. And just remember, our daughter is very strong. She is very strong.

Ashland: The accident wasn’t your fault. I was right behind you.

Victoria: Tell me what you saw. I want to know everything.

Ashland: No, victoria, we can talk about this later. Right now we just have to get you —

Victoria: Now. Please.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Okay. Okay, there was a car approaching, and it crossed the center line toward you.

Victoria: Rey’s car.

Ashland: And then —

Victoria: We crashed.

Ashland: Maybe he was trying to avoid something in the road. I don’t know. But he swerved into your lane at the last minute. There was so much fog, it was impossible to see anything clearly.

Victoria: Nobody should’ve been on the road. I wasn’t thinking.

Ashland: It’s dangerous, yes, at any speed.

Victoria: Was I speeding? I didn’t think I was going fast.

Ashland: No, no, no, that’s not what I’m saying. The police will figure all that out later, okay? Right now, our job is to get you to a hospital and get you help.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Your hand is burned.

Ashland: I’m fine.

Victoria: You’re lying.

Ashland: It’s what I do.

Victoria: Pain looks excruciating.

Ashland: Victoria, this — this is gonna be fine. I’m — I’m worried about you. You might have internal injuries. We have to get you somewhere you can get scanned and x-rayed, and we have to do it as soon as possible.

Victoria: I’m fine.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Really? You think maybe we can get a doctor’s second opinion on that?

Victoria: What about you?

Ashland: Getting help for you right now, taking care of you, is the only thing that matters to me. When I saw you in that car, if anything had happened to you…

[ Sighs ]

Victoria: [ Sobbing ]

Ashland: It’s gonna be okay.

Victoria: No, it’s not okay.

Ashland: It’s —

Victoria: I’m not okay. None of this should’ve happened. None of it. And I don’t care what you say, rey is dead because of me.

Ashland: No. It was an accident. A terrible accident.

Connor: Okay, got it, the perfect game to play outside on a foggy night — hide and go seek?

Chance: Oh, sign me up.

Chelsea: Absolutely not.

Chance: Well, how come?

Connor: She says no to everything fun. We have to outvote her.

Chelsea: I have veto power. Excuse me, moms always win. Sorry, guys.

Chance: Okay, so does that mean anything outside —

Chelsea: Everything and anything outside is not happening tonight. No way, no how. Apologies. I suggest you continue talking about hockey. I’ll be back. Can’t be easy being married to a cop. I’m sure there’s a part of you that’s always worried.

Sharon: Um, I’m used to not hearing from him when he’s working on a case, but tonight, um, I know that connor was really looking forward to this game. Um, whatever’s keeping rey must be very important. I’m really sorry about this.

Chelsea: Oh, don’t be silly. There will be plenty of games. And whatever is going on out there, I’m sure rey will come back with a very intriguing story for you.

Sharon: You know, maybe I’ve been on my feet too long or maybe it’s the fog making me say this, but…you were looking forward to the game too, weren’t you?

Chelsea: Yeah, of course. I love spending time with connor. And he’s getting so big, you know? He’s so much older now. It’s not easy for us to find things for us to do together.

Sharon: No, I mean you. You were looking forward to it for you.

Chelsea: What?

Sharon: I’m not accusing you of anything…yet. I just can’t shake this feeling that there’s, um…I don’t know what to call it. Um…a connection between you and my husband. Like maybe you’ve thought half a dozen times, “if sharon and rey weren’t married,” you’d tell him that you’d like to get to know him better. (Woman) is there a natural litter that actually works?!

Chelsea: You want to know if I have a crush on your husband?

Sharon: Well, those were not my exact words, but —

Chelsea: And if I say yes, are you and the other cheerleaders gonna write nasty things about me in your burn book?

Sharon: Look, I know this may feel like a set-up, so I’m just gonna be very honest with you.

Chelsea: About what?

Sharon: You and rey.

Chelsea: [ Scoffs ] There is no me and rey.

Sharon: After what you put him through, I think he went above and beyond the call of duty to let you know that he had forgiven you and that he was rooting for you to get back up on your feet again. That’s the kind of guy rey is. That’s why I love him so much. He’s kind and generous.

Chelsea: I know, and for that, I was very grateful.

Sharon: But when your relationship went beyond the point of forgiveness and he actually started treating you more like a friend, well —

Chelsea: Listen, that’s correct, rey is a friend. And no matter what we went through in the past, because of the dark things I was experiencing, he was there for me and my kid. And I’ll always consider that a gift, but if you feel like I’ve overstepped —

Sharon: No, I’m not accusing you of anything. It’s just I’ve had these feelings lately, and then i pretend like they don’t exist. And I try not to live my life like that. That’s why I’m sharing this with you. Not that you owe me an answer.

Chelsea: No, there’s no reason for me to not be honest with you. Assuming you won’t hold it against me.

[ Sighs ] The truth is rey is an incredible man. He’s great with kids. He’s a great friend to me. Obviously, he knows how to be in a relationship without any pain or drama. But the reality is, rey is very married. And you two are very happy.

Sharon: We are. Um, well, thank you for your honesty.

Chelsea: Well, thank you for yours. And, you know, I know why you would ask me, you know, if I had a thing for rey. Given our history, yours and mine.

Sharon: Um, that’s not why i was asking, not exactly.

Chelsea: But even if I had some fleeting thought about rey in that way, doesn’t matter. It’s not like I would have a shot, sharon. You two are amazing together.

Sharon: Yes, we are. And I know how lucky I am to have him in my life.

Chelsea: It’s very clear to me that rey feels the exact same way about you.

Ashland: I hate leaving you alone, but I really should get back out there and fine some help.

Victoria: I’ll come with you.

Ashland: No, no, victoria, you’re in no condition to —

Victoria: I want to see rey with my own —

Ashland: Just stay. Just sit.

Victoria: [ Groans ] God.

Ashland: Sit back. Let me take a look, okay?

Victoria: [ Groans ] Stop.

Ashland: Is this hurting you?

Victoria: No, I — it’s just, I — I mean, you must be in pain yourself. You don’t have to worry about me. I’m fine.

Ashland: Okay, okay.

Victoria: What are you doing?

Ashland: Just trying to find something here, maybe something that would make you more comfortable. I don’t know, something like a — like a first aid kit, i guess.

[ Sighs ] Here you go. How’s this, hmm? Couple of bottles of water, and they’re even cold.

[ Chuckles ] The chilly air is good for something besides making fog. Here you go. Put, uh, one on your knee and drink this one, okay? That one will help with the swelling. Okay?

Victoria: Thank you.

Ashland: Alright, I really should go back out and see if i can find someone that can help us.

Victoria: Yeah, of course. Go.

Ashland: I will go as soon as you give me your word that you’re not gonna try to walk on that leg and do more damage.

Victoria: I promise.

[ Sighs ]

Ashland: Okay. Alright. I’ll be back with help as soon as possible.

Victoria: Ashland. Thank you…for saving me.

Chance: Alright, tell me what you got. That’s route b, right? Route marker 12 near the turn-off by the blue barn? How many cars? Uh, are there any fatalities? Okay, no, I got it. I’m on my way. Thanks. Hey.

Sharon: Was that a call from the station?

Chance: Yeah, I — I got to get back to work. I got to take off, pal. I’ll catch you later.

Connor: Okay, bye.

Sharon: Um, if you do happen to run into your handsome partner, would you tell him to give his wife a call?

Chance: First thing. ‘Night.

Chelsea: ‘Night.

Victor: I see they have molten chocolate cake. Mm, delicious. You want some?

Nikki: No, thank you, darling. Don’t let me stop you, though.

Victor: We can split it. I mean, mm, dark, molten chocolate — ooh.

Nikki: I know what you’re doing. Trying to distract me from worrying about victoria.

Victor: Yeah, I’m trying to distract myself.

[ Cellphone rings ] Yes, my boy?

Nick: Yeah, I’m at the scene of the accident.

Victor: And?

Nick: Well, all I can see is wreckage.

Victor: How bad is it?

Nick: As far as I can tell, there’s three cars involved. One of them’s definitely victoria’S.

Victor: How is she?

Nick: I don’t know, dad. She isn’t here, which I got to think is good news, considering the condition her car is in.

Victor: That may be good news. Maybe she walked away from the wreck.

Nikki: Thank god, thank god.

Nick: Yeah, she probably went to try and find help with ashland.

Victor: What do you mean ashland?

Ashland: I know you probably won’t believe me right now. I mean…after all of this, why should you? But…but when I was in my car and I regained consciousness, got my bearings, looked around, and I saw you, and I saw the flames around you, I had only one thought — I had to save you. You are the reason I found the strength to free myself. I had to pull you out of those flames. I couldn’t let that kind of thing happen to you. I couldn’t let you die in a burning car.

Victoria: The way that the real ashland locke died in a car crash. The irony isn’t lost on me.

Ashland: Yeah, well, I didn’t really think about a — a whole lot else until I knew that you were…you were safe. But, yes, I made the connection later, when you were out of danger. And it hit me hard. It took me right back to that night. To the friend I couldn’t save. Victoria, I…I don’t want to think about that right now. Right now my job is to get you help and get you safe.

Victoria: What is that so important to you? Why can’t you just let me go?

Victor: What the hell does ashland locke have to do with any of this?

Nick: His car is one of the ones that was involved. I recognize it.

Victor: But no sign of him or victoria?

Nick: Nothing.

[ Siren wails ] Alright, hold on. I can’t hear you.

[ Siren fades ] Okay.

Victor: Well, wait a minute, son. You said there were three cars involved. What happened to the third driver?

Nick: Yeah, it was, uh — it was rey.

Victor: What?

Nick: It was rey rosales.

Victor: Rey rosales — are you serious?

Nick: He didn’t make it.

Victor: Oh, boy.

Nick: Yeah. I mean, this is gonna break sharon’s heart and faith and arturo and lola. I mean…everybody loves this guy.

Victor: Son, any sign of victoria?

Nick: No, which means she’s probably alive. We have to get to her, wherever she is.

Victor: So where are you now? Okay, we’ll be there.

[ Sighs ] Sweet pillows of softness!

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Nikki: So rey is gone?

Victor: That’s what nicholas said.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Poor sharon. How was ashland involved?

Victor: I have no idea. We’ll find out when we get there, okay?

Nikki: What was he doing there anyway?

Victor: Come on, sweetheart, let’s go.

Sharon: So, what do you think about my new ooey-gooey chocolate chip cookie?

Connor: I should have another, just to be sure.

Chelsea: Oh, you will do nothing of the sort. One is more than enough.

Connor: It’s important work. You don’t want to make any mistakes when it comes to tasting.

Sharon: You didn’t happen to hear that from rey, did you?

Connor: Yeah, he says you always need to eat at least two cookies to figure out if you like them.

Sharon: I’m gonna have to have a talk with detective rosales when he comes back.

Connor: He’s the best.

Sharon: He is, isn’t he?

Connor: I’ll take this to the tray. He also told me to clean up after myself.

Chelsea: I tell you that all the time.

Connor: Well, it’s different when he says it.

Chelsea: Oh. Oh, he’s growing up so fast.

Sharon: Rey really adores him.

Chelsea: Yeah, well, the feeling’s mutual.

Sharon: Hey, I meant it when I said I wasn’t accusing you of anything tonight, but if it did come across that way, it’s just been one of those nights.

Chelsea: I’m glad we talked.

Sharon: I am, too.

Chelsea: Ooh, well, it’s getting late.

Sharon: Yeah.

Chelsea: Hey, connor, I’m gonna grab your jacket.

Sharon: Listen, I’m sorry that things didn’t work out tonight.

Chelsea: It’s totally fine. Just let rey know that connor is gonna want a rain check, so be ready.

Sharon: Nothing would make him happier. I’ll see you soon.

Chelsea: Okay, good night, sharon.

Sharon: Good night.

Chance: We’re gonna continue to look for victoria and ashland. Don’t worry.

Nick: My parents are on their way.

Chance: Nobody ought to be on the road on a night like this. I mean, just seeing the damage that victoria’s car took.

Nick: It looks like it caught on fire. Victoria’s lucky to have walked away.

Chance: She was.

Nick: Rey, man… I don’t even know what to say. He was your partner.

Chance: Yeah. I mean, we were all just at crimson lights earlier. He was just going home to get the tickets for the hockey game. Station called me and told me about the accident, said there was a fatality, and I, uh…i don’t know, I just got a feeling that something bad went down.

Nick: You okay?

Chance: I got to be, for rey’s sake.

Nick: Yeah, when you — when you left sharon, did you mention anything to her?

Chance: No. I was hoping I was wrong.

Nick: She needs to know.

Chance: I can send someone from the station to talk to her.

Nick: No. This isn’t something she should hear about from some stranger, even if it is one of rey’s colleagues.

Chance: Yeah, I agree. Since I got to stay here, i think you should be the one that breaks the news to her. Waxed.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Man, this is gonna be tough. But I can’t let sharon hear about rey from anybody else.

Chance: I think rey would want you to do this.

Nick: It’s gonna break her heart. It’s coming out of nowhere. It will shatter her.

Chance: That’s why she needs to hear it from someone she can trust. Someone she can lean on. Look, I know you’re worried about your sister, but I’m gonna find her.

Nick: Ashland, too. You find him, you let me know.

Chance: As soon as I get anything, I’ll call you. We’re gonna get your sister the help she needs.

Sharon: Hi, honey. Um…nothing important, just calling to check in on you again. Have I told you lately that i love you? Um…call me, okay? Just let me know where you are and that everything’s okay.

Victoria: Why do you keep saying that you have these feelings for me when you accepted a payoff in exchange to say that our marriage wasn’t real and it didn’t exist?

Ashland: That contract i signed is a meaningless piece of paper.

Victoria: Yeah. Much like our marriage license.

Ashland: It has nothing to do with how I really feel about you.

Victoria: I told you how i feel. I lied to you about wanting to — to run off with you, ’cause I wanted you to sign away the company and I wanted to get you out of my life. So why did you follow me from newman tower? What was your brilliant plan?

Ashland: There was no plan. I — I told you before, I knew you were upset when you left the office. I wanted to make sure that you were alright.

Victoria: What do you want from me? You risked your life to save mine. I want to know why.

Ashland: Victoria…I love you. No matter what’s happened, no matter — no matter what’s come between us, you mean everything to me.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] Is that your way of trying to get me to forgive you?

Ashland: This wasn’t calculated. I wasn’t thinking that maybe — I couldn’t imagine a world without you in it. I know you hate me now. That’s fine, I’ll figure out a way to live with that as long as I know you’re alive.

Nikki: Maybe she’s in here. Victoria, can you hear me?

Victoria: Mom!

Nikki: Oh! Oh, my god. Oh, sweetheart. Honey, are you alright?

Victoria: I’m not sure.

Ashland: She hurt her leg in the accident.

Victor: When we have questions for you, we’ll ask you.

Nikki: We need to get you to a hospital, honey.

Victoria: Did you see the accident, the cars out there? There was a fire.

Nikki: Yes, we know.

Victoria: Have you heard anything about rey?

Victor: That’s nothing for you to worry about right now, okay?

Victoria: Well, I am worried because ashland told me that he didn’t survive, and I think maybe he’s wrong because I would know.

Nikki: The paramedics are there, and they are handling everything.

Victor: Sweetheart, they’ll take you to the hospital to make sure that you’re alright.

Victoria: I will go when you tell me what happened to rey. Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Nick: Hey.

Sharon: Oh, god, scared me.

Nick: Sorry.

Sharon: You don’t have to be sorry. How’s victoria?

Nick: We haven’t found her. She wasn’t with her car.

Sharon: Well, that’s good news, right?

Nick: Yeah, we’re just waiting on word.

Sharon: Well, why don’t you sit down? I’ll put on a fresh pot of coffee. We can talk about mariah’s wedding plans while we wait.

Nick: Um…sharon, I —

Sharon: I just took a tray of brownies out of the oven. That’s why it smells so amazing in here. They’re rey’s favorites. I also whipped up a batch of cinnamon buns. He’s just gonna flip when he sees those. He always sneaks a few home to faith. Must be working on something really important. Just never ends, you know? I don’t know which one he likes the most — the brownies or the buns or…or me. You know what’s amazing? He could be dead asleep, and i would some of those babies in the oven and like that, he would be awake. Must be growing up with lola’s cooking, you know? He has a cast-iron stomach now.

Nick: There’s something i need to tell you.

Sharon: I know. I know.

[ Cries ] Just give me a minute, please. Just a minute before everything falls apart. Because if you tell me what i think you’re about to tell me?

Nick: Uh…rey was involved in the accident.

Sharon: [ Sobbing ]

Victor: Nicholas got the crash site just before the paramedics arrived.

Victoria: Where’s rey now?

Nikki: The paramedics were putting him into the ambulance.

Victoria: So he’s alive?

Victor: No, sweetheart, he’s not. He didn’t make it.

Victoria: Oh, god.

Nikki: Nicholas has gone to break the news to sharon.

Victoria: I have to do something. I have to fix this.

Nikki: No, no, no.

Ashland: Victoria…it was an accident. It wasn’t your fault.

Victor: What in the world are you even doing here, ashland? Are you responsible for this accident?

Victoria: No, dad, it’s not ashland’s fault. I swerved to avoid rey’s car, and I crashed into a tree and there were flames and I was knocked unconscious, and if ashland hadn’t pulled me out… he saved my life.

Nick: There were three cars.

Sharon: No.

Nick: Yeah. Ashland’s, victoria’s, and…

Sharon: And rey? Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

Nick: I talked to the emts. There wasn’t anything they could do.

Sharon: [ Sobbing ] No!

Nick: There wasn’t anything anyone could do, sharon. It was too late.

Sharon: No. I c– I can’t — I can’t — I can’t — [ Sobbing ]

Nikki: Victoria? Victoria?! Answer me, please. Are you alright?

Victor: What is wrong?

Nikki: The call dropped.

Victor: What happened?

Nikki: I-I-I don’t know. We were just talking and then all of a sudden she started screaming and it sounded like a car crash.

Victor: What did she say? Did she say anything or what?

Nikki: Nothing. Silence. Oh, my god.

Victor: Call her right back. Call her right back right now.

Nikki: Okay.

[ Turn signal clicking ]

Nick: Well, you said it’s been a long day, so I’m not gonna hold you up. Why don’t you get me a coffee to go and then I’ll let you get out of here and go see your husband and have a nice night.

Sharon: Uh, that won’t be happening.

Nick: Why not?

Sharon: Well, I’m sure that rey is going to have a nice night, but it won’t be with me.

Sally: Oh, my god. It is like you have never done this before.

Adam: What? Got a key card to work?

Sally: Yeah. That.

Adam: Well, I’m just happy that we got the room, despite phyllis’s ban on you being here.

Sally: Okay, well, you’re gonna be a lot happier in a few minutes if you don’t blow it now.

Sharon: Rey agreed to take connor to the game, and then chelsea’s trip got postponed. And she was able to get another ticket to the game, so now they’re all going together.

Nick: Okay. Um…I hope you know you don’t have any reason to feel threatened or jealous that chelsea is going with him.

Sharon: No. Of course not. Why would I feel threatened by her?

Nick: Well, I’ve been to lots of blackhawk games, and going to a hockey game with a kid in tow is the opposite of a romantic thing. Plus, I just — I don’t think you have any reason to worry about rey.

Sharon: No. I agree. He is 100% trustworthy. But she — not so much. You know she’s capable of doing anything. And don’t get me wrong. I have noticed an enormous change in her since she’s been back in town, and I fully believe that people can turn their lives around. But, um, did I mention that they are spending the night? Yeah, it’s hard not to just instinctively jump to conclusions when it comes to her.

Connor: Mom, we’re going to miss the puck drop if we don’t leave soon. What’s taking rey so long?

Chelsea: I don’t know. I thought for sure he’d be back by now. Let me call him. Hey. It’s me. Just checking in. Wondering if you were on your way back yet. We just know we have a long drive ahead of us, and connor doesn’t want to be late to the game. I’m sure you’ll be walking through these doors any minute, but if not, can you just let us know when you’re on your way back here? Thanks. Hey. Don’t worry. We still have plenty of time to make it.

Nikki: Victoria, sweetheart, please call me back. Your father and I are very worried. We want to make sure you’re okay. Why isn’t she answering?

Victor: Did she say where she was before the phone went dead?

Sharon: No. She just said she went for a drive to clear her head and she knew that you and I would be worried, so she wanted to make sure that we knew she was okay.

Victor: [ Sighs heavily ] Pay close attention now. I want you to find my daughter victoria as quickly as you can, okay? We have reason to believe she may have been in an accident. Now, she was at newman tower last, so check all the roads between newman tower, her house, and newman ranch. Is that clear? Check all the side roads, as well. You get back to me as soon as you can. Thank you.

[ Cellphone thuds ]

[ Sighs ]

Ashland: [ Grunting ] Come on! Victoria! Can you hear me?! Are you okay?! Victoria!

[ Turn signal clicking ] My phone. Where’s my phone? Come on. Come on.

[ Grunts ] Okay. Okay. Victoria! I’m calling for help right now! I’m calling the police! Hang in there! Come on. Damn it.

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Clicking continues ]

[ Gasps ] Oh, my god, no. (Vo) single-serve fancy feast petites

Nick: Look, I agree with you. Chelsea’s not the most trustworthy of people. But your husband’s solid, you know? I just don’t think you have anything to worry about there.

Sharon: No. You’re right. I just don’t know why a hockey game has to turn into an overnight trip.

Nick: Well, I don’t even think rey wants to go that bad. I mean, otherwise, he would have already been on the road, right?

Sharon: Thanks, nick. You always know how to make me feel better.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Nick: You’re welcome. Oh. It’s dad. Hey. What’s going on? I was just about to come and meet you and mom.

Victor: Have you spoken with victoria?

Nick: Uh, not since everything blew up earlier. What’s going on?

Victor: Your mother was on the phone with victoria, and suddenly the phone went dead. And we think it might have been because of an accident.

Nick: When?

Victor: Just a short while ago. Son, do you have any idea where victoria might have been taking a drive?

Nick: No, dad, I don’T. But I’ll leave here now, and I’ll start looking for her myself.

Victor: Wait a minute. I contacted the police already, and my team is looking for her. So, if you do go out, please drive carefully, alright? The weather is horrible.

Nick: Yeah. I will. I’ll call you if I find out anything.

Sharon: Nick. What happened? Is it victoria?

Nick: Yeah, dad said she may have been in a car accident. Um…I got to go. If she shows up here, will you let me know?

Sharon: Yeah. Of course. But you know what? I wouldn’t worry. She’s probably fine.

Nick: Yeah. I hope.

Chelsea: Hey, uh, is everything okay?

Sharon: Um…yeah. Hopefully it’s a false alarm, nothing to worry about.

Chelsea: Okay. Good. Um, have you heard from rey? He should have been back by now, and he’s not answering any of my calls.

Victor: Uh, listen, I’m checking with everyone to see if they’ve heard from victoria or have any idea where she may have gone.

Adam: I haven’t heard a word. I mean, of course I would be her last call, emergency or not. Is there anything I can do to help?

Victor: No, son. Thank you.

Adam: Okay. Well, um, if you can think of anything that I can do, let me know.

Victor: Yeah, I will.

Adam: In the meantime, just remember that, uh, victoria’s strong. She’s, uh — she’s tough enough to handle herself in any situation.

Victor: Yeah, you’re right about that.

[ Sighs ] We’ve got to find her.

Sally: What’s wrong?

Adam: Uh…we’re not, uh, positive, but, um, victoria might have been in a car accident. We don’t have any specifics or even a confirmation.

Sally: Oh, no. That’s horrible.

Adam: Yeah. It is. But, um, let’s not jump to the worst case just yet.

Sally: Yeah. No. Of course.

Adam: Yeah.

Sally: Hopefully everything turns out to be okay.

Adam: Yeah. Um…I’m sorry. This, uh, kind of puts a damper on our celebration.

Sally: I totally understand. There’s plenty of time for that. Is there anything we can do to help your family?

Adam: I just — I don’t know.

Ashland: [ Breathing heavily ]

[ Grunts ] Help! Help! Can anybody hear me?! Help!

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Breathing heavily ] So, you found the no7 then.

Ashland: Victoria! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!

[ Groans ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Come on. Victoria?

[ Turn signal clicking ] Thank god you’re still alive. Okay, I’m gonna get you out of here. Here we go. Come on. Come on. Here we go. I got you.

[ Grunting ] It’s gonna be okay. It has to be. I’m not gonna let you die.

Chelsea: He’ll be back soon.

Sharon: Oh, I’m getting his voicemail, too. Hi, honey. Um, I’m sorry to bother you. I hope you got the tickets okay. We’re starting to get a little worried over here. Chelsea and connor were expecting you back awhile ago. Um…you know what? Do me a favor. Just call me and let me know where you are, okay? Love you.

[ Exhales sharply ] You know what? It’s so foggy out there. Rey’s probably going really slow and being extra cautious.

Chelsea: I remember when we went to visit my mom. He was very conscientious behind the wheel.

Sharon: Yeah, but I’m sure he’s being super conscious now because the weather is just so dicey.

Chelsea: You know what? I bet he just doesn’t think it’s safe to be on the road right now.

Sharon: Yeah.

Chelsea: What is it? Do you not believe that?

Ashland: [ Coughs ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Wood cracking, thudding ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Come on, victoria. Hang in there. Keep breathing. Come on. Easy. Easy. Easy. It’s okay. It’s okay. You’re tough, right? I mean, you — you survived everything I did to you. You can certainly survive a — a car crash. I mean, wh-what’s a little — a little smoke inhalation, right?

[ Groans ] It’s nothing.

[ Grunts, breathes heavily ] Victoria?

[ Panting ] Victoria, can you hear me? Please. Open your eyes. Wake up. You can do this. Victoria. Come on. Come on.

Victoria: [ Groans lightly ]

[ Coughing ]

Ashland: It’s okay. It’s okay.

Victoria: [ Moans ]

Ashland: Come on, victoria. Come on.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Victoria: [ Gasping ] Get away from me!

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Whimpering ]

Sally: You don’t really believe that victoria’s in any kind of trouble, do you?

Adam: I don’t know. My dad sounded worried. I just wish somebody would call and let me know what’s going on.

Sally: I’m sure you’ll hear as soon as there’s any news.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] I’m not. This whole thing could be resolved for all I know. And nobody could have thought to call me because somehow I am always last on the list of contacts.

[ Sighs ] If I even make the list.

Sally: Okay, well, that is not true because victor just called you.

Adam: Yeah, he called me because he needed information. I’m only a priority to him when he thinks that I can be useful.

Sally: [ Scoffs ] Okay. Come on. Victor is constantly trying to shoo me out of your office so he can talk about top-secret newman family stuff with you.

Adam: Are you trying to cheer me up by pointing out my father is ruder to you than he is to me?

Sally: Is it working?

Adam: I’m not worried about being part of the inner sanctum.

Sally: Okay. Then what is eating at you?

Adam: I just want to hear a good word, okay? A simple text, if that’s all they have time for, um, anything just letting me know that victoria’s fine.

Sally: You’re really concerned about her.

Adam: Well, of course I am! You think that I would be, uh, glad that she was seriously hurt or worse? Why? Because it would give us that much better of a chance at newman/locke? Is that what you think of me?

[ Sniffs ]

[ Glass scrapes ]

Ashland: [ Coughing ] No, victoria, just — just lie back. Stay still. We don’t know yet — [ Groans ] We don’t know yet if you have any — any internal injuries or — or any broken bones. Just please just be still.

Victoria: Where are we? Why are you even here? You’re supposed to be gone.

Ashland: No. Listen to me. Listen to me. You were in a car accident. You were knocked unconscious. Your car caught fire. I was able to get you out, and i carried you here. Now, we need to get some help. Do you know if you have your cellphone on you anywhere? Mine was destroyed in the crash. It’s useless.

Victoria: No.

Ashland: Okay. Okay. Listen. Listen. I have to go back to your car and see if I can find your phone. Maybe I’ll get lucky and flag somebody down. Are you gonna be okay here for a few minutes without me?

Victoria: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Ashland: Okay. Just — just try to stay still. Try to stay still. Don’t move. I’ll be back as quick as I can.

[ Grunting ]

[ Door close ]

Victoria: [ Groans ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Groaning, breathing heavily ] With depression, you just feel…blah.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Nikki: Nicholas, did you find out anything?

Nick: I’m afraid not. I went a few places where i thought vick may have gone, but I didn’t find anything. Then the fog got a lot worse. I figure I better get off the roads.

Nikki: [ Sighs heavily ] Well, I keep getting her voicemail. I’m ready to go look for her myself.

Victor: No, you will not do that, okay?

Nick: That’s not happening, alright? Nobody should be on the roads right now. It’s too dangerous.

Victoria: I don’t want to be worrying about you now.

Nick: Just let the professionals do their job. I’m sure vick will turn up, okay?

Nikki: Yeah.

Victor: You know, this is my fault.

Nikki: Well, how can you say that?

Victor: If I had not told my security team to stop tailing victoria and instead go after ashland locke, we now would have known where she is.

Nikki: Darling, you can’t blame yourself. Ashland has proven how dangerous he is. You made the right decision.

Nick: Where’s ashland right now?

Victor: I have no clue. I’m waiting for an answer.

Nick: Dad, what if, uh — what if it wasn’t an accident? What if somebody hurt victoria intentionally?

Victor: I don’t even want to think about it.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Yes? Why the hell have you been waiting so long to tell me? What do you mean, you didn’t find her? And you lost ashland locke? What is the matter with you?! Find him!

[ Cellphone slams ]

Victoria: [ Gasps ]

[ Strains, exhales sharply ]

[ Groaning ] Oh, god. Help! If anybody can hear me, help!

Ashland: Victoria? Victoria. Are you okay? I heard you calling.

Victoria: I think I injured my knee.

Ashland: Just —

Victoria: And I just was hoping that somebody would hear me. Did you find my phone?

Ashland: No.

Victoria: Is there anybody out there?

Ashland: No, your car was engulfed in flames. I-I couldn’t even get near it.

Victoria: Well, there must be a house or something nearby.

Ashland: No. There’s nothing. I looked. This is the only structure i could find. I’m sorry. I’m afraid we’re stranded.

Victoria: Well, eventually somebody’s gonna drive by and see the wreckage.

[ Breathing heavily ] Ow.

Ashland: [ Grunts ]

[ Exhaling heavily ]

Victoria: Ashland? What is it? What are you not telling me?

Sharon: I’m not worried about rey. It’s just, um, nick gave me some bad news about victoria before he left earlier.

Chelsea: What’s wrong?

Sharon: The newmans think that she may have been in an accident this evening. So I was just thinking maybe rey heard about the accident and he went to the scene? Or maybe he even witnessed it? And if he did, you know he would stop and jump in and help. It could be that he’s there right now making sure everyone’s okay, and that could be why we haven’t heard from him.

Chelsea: Maybe. I just hope victoria’s alright.

Sharon: Yeah. Me too.

Ashland: I’m sorry. I-I-I didn’t mean to alarm you. I’m just shaken up. That’s all. Seeing you in that car, unconscious, and then the fire — I’m just — I’m grateful that you’re — that you’re okay.

Victoria: What are you even doing here? How is it that you of all people even found me in my car? Was it an accident? Was it? I mean, are you the one that ran me off the road?

Ashland: No. No! I would never do anything like that. Victoria, you have to believe me. I had nothing to do with that accident, okay? But there is something I have to tell you.

Victoria: What is it?

Ashland: When you left the office, you were so upset, and with this fog, I was — I was just — the reason I was there when your car crashed… is because I was following you.

Victoria: Oh, for god’s sakes.

Ashland: No, I was just — i was just looking out after you. That’s all. You were so distraught. After our confrontation in the office, I — with the fog, I was worried about what might happen to you, and the thought of anything happening to you was terrifying to me. I know you despise me right now. I get that. But that doesn’t mean that i don’t love you and care about you. I hurt you so deeply already. I just can’t bear the thought of anything — anything ever hurting you like that again. We hit the bike trails every weekend

Sally: This is a mistake. And I don’t just mean our little celebration here.

Adam: Sally, sally, don’t —

Sally: Do you know how badly you just hurt me? To even suggest that I would be so cold and heartless and calculated about a woman’s life, clearly you don’t know me at all. I can take it from other people. I can let their harsh judgments roll off my back, but I am not gonna take it from you.

Adam: Listen, I didn’t mean it like that, okay?

Sally: You know, I am not somebody that automatically assumes the worst about you. Haven’t we already established that?

Adam: I am sorry. It was a cruel and unfair comment to make.

Sally: Do you know how deeply you just hurt me?

Adam: Yes. I do. You would actually be surprised to know how much I understand how you feel.

[ Exhales heavily ] And if you want me to be honest, okay, here goes. The truth is, I have been asking myself the same twisted question. Am I genuinely concerned about my sister? Or is a part of me thinking, if something were to happen to her, would that be a leg up for me at newman/locke?

Victoria: [ Breathing heavily ] There’s something else, isn’t there? I can tell. What is that you’re hiding from me?

Ashland: Victoria, please. You’re just — you need to lay — lay down right now. You just need to rest until we can get you some help. Is there anything that I can do here to make you more comfortable?

Victoria: What do you keep changing the subject for? What is it that you’re not saying?

Ashland: Okay, look, i understand I have not been entirely truthful with you in the past. I understand that you have doubts right now.

Victoria: No, I think that i can finally tell when you’re keeping the truth from me, so just tell me. What — what else is there? How did this accident even happen?

Ashland: Please, I’m begging you, don’t — don’t do this. Don’t tax yourself like this. You were in a terrible accident. You need to stay still until we can get you medical attention.

Victoria: I’m really trying to remember what happened and —

Ashland: Victoria.

Victoria: I can’t remember. Wait a minute. Oh, my god, there was another car. There were lights coming toward me, weren’t there? They weren’t your lights because you were behind me. You were following me, so… oh, my god, there was another car involved.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Sharon: Chance.

Chance: Hey.

Sharon: I’m so glad to see you. Did you just come from the station?

Chance: I did. I’m back at work, and I am loving it.

Sharon: Well, that’s great. I know rey is happy to have you back. Um, listen, did you happen to hear anything about a possible accident tonight, maybe an accident involving victoria newman?

Chance: No. No, not a word. I’m pretty sure that would have been big news at the station, too. Why do you ask?

Sharon: Well, nick told me that his family is worried about her. She was driving out in this fog, and now no one can reach her.

Chance: Okay, well, let me make a call and see if there’s been any new accident reports since I left.

Sharon: Thank you.

Victoria: The fog was so thick, I could barely see the road.

[ Exhales heavily ] Then suddenly, out of nowhere, there was bright lights right in front of me.

[ Gasps ] It was another car.

Ashland: The accident wasn’t your fault. You have to know that.

Victoria: All I know is that I was on the phone with my mother, on speaker. And then suddenly these headlights just came sliding right over into my lane.

Ashland: That’s right. And you had to swerve to avoid them.

Victoria: I lost control. I remember that. And then everything went black.

Ashland: Yes.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] What happened? What happened after that?

Ashland: I was behind you. You swerved to avoid the car. It was coming straight at me. I had to turn sharply sideways to avoid it, but it hit me in the side of my car. And at the same time, I saw you run into a tree. The front end of your car caught fire. And I had to str– I had to struggle to get out of my car to save you, but I did. Eventually, I did. And I pulled you out.

Victoria: [ Groans ]

[ Sighs ] Those burns on your hand. It’s from my car. You actually risked your life to save mine.

Unleash the freshness…

Adam: Okay, I hate that that thought even popped into my head, that I would consider for even a second the business ramifications if victoria were seriously injured.

Sally: Well, the fact that you hate it proves that you didn’t mean it.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Huh. Or maybe I’m just trying to convince myself that I’m not

that cold and selfish. I mean, let’s face it. The plan to buy off locke — it was more about impressing my father than it was about helping my sister. Her whole relationship with locke, to a lying con artist, I saw as an opportunity. Now, it’s not particularly brotherly.

Sally: Okay, come on. Victoria would have done the exact same thing if the situation were reversed. Your sibling bond is based on one-upmanship.

Adam: Yeah, because I spent years looking at her as a rival, so she felt the need to defend herself. Doesn’t say much about me.

Sally: Okay. Stop, okay? I’m not gonna let you believe that you’re cold and selfish. I know for a fact that you’re not. I know it in my heart. Because… I wouldn’t be falling in love with someone like that.

Adam: Wait a minute. Are you saying that you’re falling in love with me?

[ Cellphone slams ]

Victor: How the hell could they lose ashland locke, tonight of all nights?

Nick: Dad —

Victor: The utter incompetence!

Nick: It’s not surprising, alright? It’s really foggy out there.

Nikki: I am just so worried about her. We don’t know even know if ashland was involved or not.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Victor: Yes? Okay. Report back to me.

[ Cellphone thuds ]

Nikki: What? What have you found out?

Victor: [ Sighs ] There’s a report of an accident.

Nikki: Oh, god, no.

[ Gasps ]

[ Cries ]

Ashland: The last time this happened, I —

[ Cries ] I turned and ran. I left my best friend to die in a burning car, and I couldn’t do that again. I-I had to do everything I could to save you.

Victoria: [ Winces ] What about the other driver? Did they just sideswipe you and — and leave us here? Was it a hit-and-run?

Ashland: No.

Victoria: Well, then… are they injured? I mean, did you see who was in the car?

Ashland: Victoria, please, you need to just stop.

Victoria: Are they still out there?

Ashland: Stop moving. You need to rest right now and take care of yourself. There’s no reason for you to be upset about the other driver.

Victoria: Ashland, stop it. Stop avoiding the question. Stop trying to protect me by lying. Just — I need to know what happened. Is the other driver okay?

Connor: Mom, what’s taking rey so long? It’s getting really late now.

Chelsea: I know, sweetheart.

Connor: We’re going to miss the game.

Chelsea: You know, I think — I think rey must have gotten caught up in some last-minute police work. But don’t worry. Even if we don’t make it to chicago tonight, rey will make it up to you. That’s just the kind of guy he is.

Ashland: When I went back to look for your phone, I checked the other car. It had gone into a ditch. It was damaged much worse than either of ours.

Victoria: And the driver?

Ashland: There was nothing i could do.

Victoria: [ Gasps ] Oh, no. Ohh. What are you saying?

Ashland: The other driver didn’t make it.

Victoria: Oh, god.

Chance: Okay. Thanks for checking for me. So, there’s been a couple fender benders due to the fog, but no major injuries reported. Now, I couldn’t get all the names, but, if anything, that’s the worst that happened to victoria.

Sharon: Oh, well, I’m glad to hear that. Now if only rey would show up.

Chance: I thought he went to the hockey game a while ago.

Sharon: No. He forgot the tickets. He had to run home and get them. Chelsea and connor are still waiting for him out on the patio. Um…he’s been gone awhile. Connor’s getting anxious that they might miss the game.

Chance: Well, yeah, I spoke to rey just as he was leaving the ranch. He grabbed the tickets, and he was coming back. I mean, he should have been here by now.

Victoria: There was a fatality? That’s awful. So awful. All I could see were the headlights.

Ashland: Victoria.

Victoria: Yes?

Ashland: I hate to be the one to tell you this, but it was someone you know.

Victoria: What? Who was it, ashland?

Ashland: Rey rosales.

Victoria: [ Exhales heavily ] Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ashland: Okay, I met with victor and adam, and it’s done. I see no reason to stay in this town one minute longer. You ready to go?

Victoria: Did you really think that I would run away with you, after everything you put me through? Did you really believe that this wasn’t the absolute end for us?

Ashland: I’m not sure what you’re saying right now.

Victoria: I told you whatever you wanted to hear so that you would sign everything away. I wanted out of this marriage and I want you out of this company.

Ashland: No, just — just hold on for one second. Wh–

Victoria: You pride yourself on being one step ahead of everyone else. Are you telling me you didn’t see this coming?

Ashland: Okay, okay, I will admit that I didn’t know what to think in the last few days, but when you agreed to run away with me to tuscany to — to — to get out of this town and start fresh, I thought that was our chance, victoria. I was overjoyed. I didn’t question it. I didn’t want to question it because I actually thought — and I still think — that we can get out of here and we could make this work.

Victoria: [ Groans ] Everything I said to you the past couple of days has been a lie. Not some grand fabrication that “I have cancer and I’m dying,” but a lie nonetheless. And now you know you’ve been deceived. So all of those feelings that you might be having right now of betrayal and humiliation, I know them — I know them well. It’s your turn now.

Sharon: Mr. Anderson, I told you that my husband wouldn’t appreciate — [ Gasps ] Oh, oh, it’s you.

Rey: I’m so sorry to disappoint.

Sharon: I’m not disappointed to see you ever.

Rey: Mwah.

Sharon: Especially in that jacket.

Rey: Mm. You like it?

Sharon: Very sharp. Did you get it for your trip to chicago?

Rey: No, no, not exactly, but I thought chicago would be a good place to debut it. Have you seen connor and chelsea?

Sharon: Not yet.

Rey: Thanks again for being okay with me going.

Sharon: No thanks necessary.

Rey: I know, I know, but it’s a little weird I’m taking another woman and her son to a hockey game.

Sharon: There’s nothing strange about it.

Rey: [ Chuckles ] I’m spending the night in chicago. A lot of wives would disapprove. Thank you for being so understanding.

Sharon: The most important thing is that connor will have a great time. And who are we kidding? I think that you’re more excited than he is.

Rey: Oh, it’s my first live hockey game, huh?

Sharon: Mm-hmm.

Rey: There they are!

Connor: Hey, rey.

Rey: What’s up, buddy? Ready for the big game?

Connor: Yeah, it’s going to be so fun. I get to watch the blackhawks in person, but the best part is i get to go with you, rey. No offense, mom.

Chelsea: Oh, listen, none taken. I’m just along for the ride. I feel like I’m a chaperone for these two because rey actually knows the sport and how to play the game.

Rey: Don’t undersell yourself, chelsea. It’s gonna be a great night for all of us, huh?

Victor: Thank you, son. Well, your deal worked. Ashland locke hopefully will be out of our lives very soon.

Adam: Mm. Well, it was my idea, but when ashland asked if you were on board, you backed me up. And that’s what made it successful.

Victor: We make a good team.

Adam: I’m sure victoria’s gonna be irritated that the plan that worked wasn’t hers. She never got the satisfaction, even temporarily, of throwing me under the bus. She would have loved to see me squirm.

Victor: There’s no place for sibling rivalry right now, okay? Considering what your sister’s gone through, just be happy to be rid of that fraud, okay? You should have feelings of compassion now for your sister, not competition. Alright?

Victoria: Do you know how insulting it is that you thought I would believe you were set up? I mean, how stupid did you think I would have to be to think that someone would go to all the trouble of making it look like you had faked your illness for months? Do you take me for an idiot, ashland?

Ashland: No, no, I do not. But, victoria, what was i supposed to do? With all the evidence that was being built up against me, was i supposed to come to you and say, “hey, that this terrible thing, I lied, I made a mistake”? Would you have forgiven me for that? Could you have forgiven me?

[ Sighs ] No, I don’t think so. And, no, I didn’t actually believe that you were gonna buy into the story that I had been set up. I — not in your head. But in your heart — in your heart, I thought maybe you wanted to believe it was the truth. That’s what I was hoping for.

Victoria: And that’s why you kept lying?

Ashland: I was stalling. I was trying to buy time because I honestly believed that our love would win out in the end, that — that somehow we could — we could go off and have a future together.

Victoria: Future? After what you did to me, we could never, ever have a future.

Ashland: I still think that we —

Victoria: No, stop it. There’s no point in you continuing to lie to me. You didn’t get control of newman/locke, okay? So maybe you just can take some comfort in what you do have — you have money and you have freedom.

Ashland: I don’t give a damn about the money. And I don’t care about the freedom if it means going off without you. All I want is you. Sweet pillows of softness!

Victor: Son… I did give you credit for coming up with the idea that finally got rid of ashland locke. But it’s not enough for you, is it?

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Huh? You should be happy we’ll get rid of that son of a bitch. He’s out of our company, out of victoria’s life.

Adam: I agree. I agree. I retract my comment.

Victor: Alright.

Adam: I will try to focus on staying positive.

Victor: Good.

Adam: As hard as this is for victoria, I know that she’s going to move past it, no matter how long it takes. I’ll give her credit for being tough.

Victor: And I do, trust me.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Victor: She’s endured a lot.

Adam: Yeah, but I also recognize that this is gonna take a while to move past. She’s gonna need time to recover. And even though she is tough, you know, we need to do what’s best for her moving forward.

Victor: Exactly.

Adam: You know the brilliant part of my plan is we get to keep everything that locke brought into the merger. We now have complete control over his empire, along with newman enterprises. I mean, we almost doubled our value for a mere $500 million. That’s a bargain.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Interesting how things work out sometimes, isn’t it?

Victoria: All you want is me.

[ Scoffs ] Oh, wow, you — you are relentless. And you do not lack commitment, I’ll give you that. Commitment to the scam, not to me, obviously. But you have — you’ve played the dutiful, devoted husband all the way to the bitter end.

Ashland: I’m not playing at anything. It’s what I believe. You have to know that.

Victoria: I don’T. Why don’t you just admit it — admit what you did?

Ashland: I have.

Victoria: No. No, you haven’T. The whole thing. I want to know how you used me. I-I want to know how you could sink to such a disgusting low, lying about a disease that — that ruins so many people’s lives.

Ashland: You want the whole story, you want the truth?

Victoria: Yeah, I do. I do.

[ Laughs ] I think I deserve that.

Ashland: Fine. Here it is. I lied about having cancer.

Victoria: Finally. Finally some honesty. There’s a start.

Ashland: But that’s not the whole truth, victoria. The whole truth is not what you think it is. I didn’t come here with my sights set on newman enterprises. But then this thing happened. I found out my wife was cheating on me and that my son harrison was not my biological son, and in that moment, everything changed for me.

Victoria: You would use your child as an excuse?

Victoria: I was devastated. I was furious. The — the infamous locke ness monster kicked in the gut. But I saw an opportunity.

[ Chuckles ] Something bigger than I’d ever done before. And I channeled all of that righteous anger into going after your family’s company.

Victoria: Well, you didn’t waste any time, did you? You asked me to new york to have dinner with you after you learned about harrison.

Ashland: That’s right.

Victoria: And while we were there, you told me about your cancer diagnosis.

Ashland: I had momentum. I was moving forward.

[ Chuckles ] And it was so, so easy to sell the story that the scans after my heart attack showed signs of cancer.

Victoria: You know…I was surprised that you wanted me around when you were dealing with that news. I mean, we were — we were basically strangers, and now i know why. I know why. Because you knew that it would create an instant bond and that we would have trust and intimacy, and, of course, you would induce compassion out of me. Yeah, it was all very deliberate.

Ashland: That’s right.

Victoria: You know it’s one thing for you to do something like this to me, but how could you let that sweet, little, innocent boy think that you were dying? What defense do you have of that behavior?

Ashland: None. But I did what I could to keep harrison out of it.

Victoria: And that’s why you didn’t fight kyle in taking him to italy.

Ashland: That’s right.

Victoria: Because you could continue your scam and you could get all of your business arrangements in place, and then you would make the announcement that you had miraculously recovered. And you wouldn’t have to look that little boy in the eye and lie to him the way you did to me.

Ashland: I don’t deny any of it. I took advantage of you, of your immense heart. I worked an angle to win your love and your trust.

Victoria: You convinced me and everybody else that you were dying. Death — that was your angle?

Ashland: It was.

Victoria: All of it was to get your hands on my family’s company. And the merger — I mean, the merger was like your ultimate power grab. It was also the most selfish and disgusting move of your entire career.

Ashland: All of that is true. In fact, there was a time that i was even proud of myself. Can you believe that? But then this other thing happened. Something extraordinary. Something shocking. I, honest to god, fell in love with you. I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Chelsea: Now, you behave. Thank you so much, sharon.

Sharon: Hope this will be enough.

Chelsea: I don’t mean just for the snacks. I mean for lending us rey for the evening. It really means a lot to connor.

Sharon: Yeah, I know it does. And I think staying in chicago tonight after the game makes sense.

Chelsea: Yeah, I mean, it’s just so late for connor, you know? The game doesn’t end till after his bedtime.

Sharon: Yeah. And it can get pretty foggy this time of year. It might not be that safe driving home so late. I just want you to bring rey home safe and sound.

Chelsea: We will do that.

Sharon: Um…you know what? Besides, I-I’m gonna have the house to myself tonight, and i can sit on the couch and watch my shows — the ones that rey always pretends to like, for my sake.

Chelsea: Yeah, sounds like a perfect evening.

Rey: So what are you most excited about seeing live?

Connor: A slap shot, ’cause I’m working on mine. It’s a really complicated move.

[ Grunts ]

Rey: Oh, give me some. Yes, sir.

Sharon: So any special requests for the road?

Chelsea: No. Plus, it looks like you put one of everything in here, so thank you. It’s very generous.

Sharon: It’s my pleasure.

Chelsea: Is it?

Sharon: What do you mean?

Chelsea: I just mean you’re going above and beyond to help prepare us for this trip to chicago.

Sharon: Is that a problem?

Chelsea: I don’t know. I get the sense that you’re not happy about this trip. But you’re working hard to come off like you are okay with it, so I just want to know, truly, are you okay with everything that’s happening tonight?

Nick: I keep calling victoria. There’s no answer.

Nikki: Well, I left her at the office a little while ago while ashland was talking to victor and adam. Did everything go as planned?

Victor: Ashland locke accepted the offer to leave. And he signed away control of both companies.

And he annulled his marriage to our daughter.

Nikki: Oh, thank god.

Nick: Wow.

Nikki: Well, I guess adam’s plan worked.

Nick: Good job, adam.

Nikki: I admit, I was a little skeptical, but you really came through.

Adam: Thank you. It’s all about helping the family.

Nick: Does victoria know yet?

Victor: Yeah, I told her as soon as locke left the office.

Nick: How did she react?

Victor: She didn’T. I have a feeling that she’s in the office right now, and I feel that ashland locke is with her.

Nick: Wonder how that conversation is going.

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] I hope it’s nothing more than “goodbye and good riddance.” Victoria did tell me that she intended to walk away from him, but in order to get her to agree to this deal, she had to make him think that they would still be together in spite of the annulment.

Nick: And now he knows that is not the case.

Nikki: I hope so. I have no idea how he’s gonna react or the toll that it will take on victoria. He is just such a terrible person. But her feelings for him were real. She’s still reconciling the relationship she thought they had with the reality.

Nick: Vick’s a very strong, very proud woman. I know she can handle herself. It’s ashland I’m worried about.

Victoria: You “honest to god” fell in love with me. You know, I would be shocked if you even understood what any of those words even mean.

Ashland: I do. And I know they’re true.

Victoria: Those are empty words coming from a man who doesn’t have faith in anyone or anything but himself.

Ashland: I believe that we can get past this, victoria. I still believe that. I have never loved anyone as profoundly as I love you. Without you, if I walk out that door, I will be a lost man, without direction. No idea where to go. For the first time in my life, i don’t know what to do next.

Rey: What do you think — am I too old to learn how to play hockey?

Connor: Of course not.

Rey: Cool, so maybe after our trip, you can take me down to the rink, show me some things?

Connor: That would be cool.

Sharon: Of course I’m okay with rey going to chicago with you and connor. Why wouldn’t I be? And he told me how it happened. You had a business trip out of town, so you asked rey to take connor to the game, and then your trip got postponed, but you managed to get another ticket and you still wanted rey to come.

Chelsea: Well, connor had his heart set on it.

Sharon: I think it’ll be good for rey. He really likes how connor looks up to him.

Chelsea: I didn’t think that you had an issue with rey taking connor to the game. I thought maybe you would have an issue with rey spending time with me, given our history.

Sharon: Do you mean the history between you and me or history between you and rey, given that you once poisoned him?

Chelsea: All of it. I just want you to be comfortable, sharon.

Sharon: Well, I think I’ve made it very clear that my position is this is all behind us, in the past. And I know that you’re doing a lot better — much better than you have been doing in a very long time.

Chelsea: I am. I am, and I would never do anything to undermine that. You and rey have been so kind to me since I came back to town. You’ve offered me friendship again, which is shocking ’cause I really don’t deserve it. I won’t forget it.

Sharon: I’m sure you won’T.

Chelsea: That’s why I just want to live my best life from here on out. It’s also why I’m being up front with you. I hope you’ll be the same with me.

Victor: Why would you say you’re worried about locke?

Nick: We have to watch ashland until we are certain he’s gone for good.

Victor: Well, I told them to watch him all the time. Okay? I asked them to stop watching victoria and follow ashland locke. If that man makes one wrong step, I’m gonna get him.

Victoria: I have no sympathy for you. I have — I have none left to give. You had every opportunity to come to me before tonight, but all I got from you was lie upon lie. And the only reason you came clean is because you were backed into a corner. You got caught. That’s not love.

Ashland: I know it looks that way from your point of view, victoria, but —

Victoria: And then you told me that there was nothing left to hide, but there was — there always was more. And what is so demoralizing is that I knew it. I saw who you were because you showed me who you were over and over again. Taking your — your dead best friend’s identity so that you could start a new life, and then forging a letter so that you could get your hands on your mentor’s fortune. And I believed all of your excuses. I believed them, and I looked past them. I looked past all of your former sins because I wanted to believe that you had changed.

Ashland: I have —

Victoria: I wanted to believe that that was because of me.

Ashland: I have changed. I gave up my life’s work — locke communications group — i did that to show you I would do anything for you.

Victoria: Why would I believe anything that comes out of your mouth? Why? It’s over! And when you walk out of those doors, I don’t care what happens to you.

Ashland: I don’t believe you.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sharon: I think transparency is a great idea. Honestly, I’m really glad that we get along these days. It’s a relief. Don’t you think?

Chelsea: It is.

Sharon: Alright, so let’s not go looking for problems where there are none.

Chelsea: I’m really glad you feel that way, because you have nothing to worry about.

Connor: Mom, we should go soon.

Chelsea: I think you’re right. We should.

Rey: I hope I get to catch a puck.

Chelsea: I just hope you don’t catch it with your teeth.

Rey: Oh, well, that would make for a fun night, huh?

[ Laughter ]

Ashland: I deserve your scorn, your outrage, your hatred. All of that is justified, but i think deep down inside you are as conflicted as I am. There is still something between us, victoria. Let’s get out of here. Leave your family, leave this town, and start over.

Victoria: I am starting over. But not with you.

Ashland: Okay. The only thing left to say is… I’m sorry.

Nick: Any word from the security detail?

Victor: It seems that locke is leaving the building alone. Hopefully our daughter’s done with him once and for all.

Victoria: [ Screams ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Panting ] Are you one of the millions of americans

Nikki: Oh, my god.

[ Gasps ]

Nick: What happened here?

Nikki: I thought you said ashland left peacefully.

Victor: They assured me he did.

Nikki: [ Sighs ]

Victor: I bet you…victoria did this.

Adam: I can’t say I blame her for needing to blow off some steam, but seems like the work of someone who’s in a lot of pain.

Nick: I’m gonna call security. Yeah, this is nick newman. When’s the last time anyone saw my sister in the building? Was she alone? Alright, thanks. Security saw victoria leaving the parking garage five minutes ago. No sign of ashland.

Nikki: I’m calling her.

Victor: Please, sweetheart, just give her some time alone, okay? Why don’t we — I don’t know, let’s just get out of here.

Nick: Yeah, why don’t we grab something to eat?

Adam: Uh, I appreciate the invitation, but actually I have some things that I need to take care of, so let me know if there’s anything else that I can help with.

Victor: Okay, we’ll do that.

Nikki: What could have made her do this?

Victor: [ Sighs ]

Nick: Alright, let’s, uh — let’s go with society, okay? I got to make a quick stop, but I’ll meet you there. Mom? Dad?

Victor: I’m sorry, son, I’m checking with security right now. We’ll be seeing you at the restaurant, okay?

Nick: Mom, I know you’re worried, alright? But I think dad’s right — vick just needs some space, alright? Let’s give her some time alone and respect her choice.

Nikki: I just want to help her get through this as best i can.

Victor: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] This is so upsetting. We all will, my darling, when the time is right.

Adam: Sally. I have great news. My plan worked. That’s right. Locke is on his way out of town right now, all thanks to me. Yeah, my father is very happy. He’s very appreciative. No, I don’t know, I didn’t want to push the “can I keep the job” angle. It just didn’t seem like the appropriate time. But, you know, when the dust settles, I will broach the subject with him. I agree. I think ashland’s departure is cause for celebration. Uh, well, let’s meet somewhere. That works for me. I, uh — I will be there.

Rey: Alright, we’re going now.

Sharon: Great, I have two coffees for the road — one for you, one for chelsea.

Rey: Wow, you’re the best.

Sharon: Well, if I’m not the best, I’m pretty high up there.

Rey: You definitely are.

Sharon: Would you please call or text when you get to chicago? I just want to know that you’re safe.

Rey: I will, I will, but don’t you worry — I got connor to protect me.

Sharon: Right.

Rey: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Wait.

Rey: You remember that when i get back.

Sharon: I will. I love you.

Rey: I love you. Alright, let’s hit the road.

Connor: Yeah!

Rey: Okay, I got coffee, snacks, my phone, keys, tickets.

Chelsea: Yeah, I have my ticket right here. You have the ones for you and connor?

Rey: For sure. Where are they?

Chelsea: Oh, did you forget the tickets?

Rey: Oh, I must have left them in my other jacket. Mm.

Connor: Oh, no.

Rey: But it’s okay, it’s all good. I’ll drive home, pick them up, meet you guys back here, and then we’ll head out.

Chelsea: Yeah, it’ll be okay.

Connor: I don’t want to be late for the game. Please hurry.

Rey: I will. I’ll be back before you know it, okay?

Sharon: See you soon.

Rey: See you soon. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Chelsea: We’ll just wait out here, get out of the way.

Nick: Hey, I’m glad you’re here.

Sharon: Hey, what’s up?

Nick: Well, it turns out you were right.

Sharon: About what?

Nick: Victoria absolutely does not want me intervening with ashland, and she told me that when I went to see her.

Sharon: Were you at least able to be supportive like i suggested?

Nick: I tried my very best. The good news is ashland has decided to accept adam’s deal, so we’re not gonna have to deal with him for very much longer.

Sharon: Well, that’s good news for victoria and for the newmans in general.

Nick: It’s a giant relief. You know, I got to hand it to adam. He really stepped up for the family. My concern is he’s not just gonna accept a thank-you card for his efforts.

Sharon: What do you mean?

Nick: I think it’s gonna be very difficult to get him out of the ceo seat, so we may have gotten rid of one mess, but there’s another one right around the corner.

Sharon: Well, I hope not.

Nick: You alright?

Sharon: Yeah, just, uh, been a long day.

Adam: Sally? Sally? “Get comfortable and enjoy. Drink to your success. I’ll be back soon.” To a new beginning.

Victoria: Call mom, mobile.

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

Nikki: [ Gasps ] Victoria, where are you?

Victoria: I’m driving.

Nikki: Well, I’m so happy to hear from you. Your father and I are at society. Can you come join us?

Victoria: That sounds lovely, mom, but I need to do some thinking.

Nikki: Okay. I understand.

Victoria: I just wanted to call you and let you know that I’m okay.

Nikki: Well, I’m so glad you did. And don’t worry, everything will work out.

Victoria: Will it, really?

Nikki: Yes, of course it will.

Victoria: Because I really don’t think that anything is gonna be okay ever again. I loved him. I did, and he made a fool out of me. And I kept going back to him. I almost left with him tonight.

Nikki: Victoria, where are you? I will come get you.

Victoria: What is wrong with me? How could I let this happen? I loved him.

Nikki: Listen to me. I want you to pull over right now. Your father and I will come find you. And everything’s gonna be fine.

Victoria: No, everything is not gonna be fine. I keep making the same mistakes with men. [ Screams ]

[ Brakes squeal ]

[ Crashing ]

Nikki: Victoria?! Victoria?

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: If they won’t budge on the price, then walk away. Right, right, right. Well, get on it.

Victor: Where do things stand with locke?

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] Our conversation couldn’t have gone better. He agreed to surrender control of the company.

Victor: I’ll be damned. Hmm. What about victoria?

Adam: He agreed to the annulment and that he’s gonna walk away from newman/locke. He is actually on his way over here right now to sign the agreement.

Victor: Well, so the end is in sight.

Adam: Uh-huh. Money talks. Locke will soon be out of our lives, out of the company and victoria’s life, so it’s the best possible outcome.

Victor: I still don’t like the way you handled this whole thing. It was very impulsive. Could have backfired.

Adam: It worked, didn’t it? I achieved the objective.

Victor: You will have achieved the objective once he signs.

Adam: It was the cleanest, most straight-forward way to tackle the problem. No tricks, no games — it was just cold, hard cash in exchange to get this jerk to take a hike.

Victor: Hmm. So you want me to believe that you did this for the good of the family, just to show your loyalty, right?

Adam: That’s exactly why i did it.

Victor: I know why you did it. You wanted to prove that you were smarter and more capable than your sister.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] You’re really doing this?

Ashland: Adam is waiting for me in his office right now to sign the paperwork.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] It’s just — you know, it’s a little overwhelming how quickly it all went down.

Ashland: Yeah. Well, adam and your father gave me 500 million reasons to walk away. From our combined company, from our “official” marriage. As long as I have your assurance that you’re on board with me.

Victoria: Ashland, I told you —

Ashland: Tell me again. I need to know if you’re really willing and ready to walk away from everything you have here, from your family, from this company, from your home here in genoa city. And build a new future with me someplace far away.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] The farther away, the better, as far as I’m concerned. After everything that has happened, you know, I could just — I could really use a fresh start.

Ashland: Well, that brings me to the hardest question of all. What about your children?

Jack: That is wonderful news. No, absolutely. If anything changes, you give me a call. I love you too, son. Bye. That was kyle. Summer can’t get away from marchetti, but kyle managed to clear his schedule and he and harrison will be flying in next week.

Traci: So the clock is ticking.

Jack: Yeah, as excited as i am about their visit, I am also dreading what comes with it.

Traci: [ Sighs ] Diane and all of her endless drama.

Jack: I get to sit with my son and blind-side him with the news that his mother is alive.

[ Knock on door ]

Phyllis: Please don’t make me play this game with you, “taylor.” Let me in. I have a master key. Please don’t make me use it.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Phyllis, wow, what a surprise.

Phyllis: Stop. Seriously? You didn’t think I was gonna figure out your alias when you checked in to my hotel? Hi, I’m karen.

Ashland: It’s because I love you so much that I’m asking you this question now. If you’re really ready to cut ties with everyone…I don’t want you to have any regrets. We both have to be sure about what that means. For instance, I would love to take a more active role in harrison’s life, but I know the newmans and the abbotts would join forces to keep me from doing that in the same way you need to think about billy.

Victoria: What about billy?

Ashland: It’s clear, isn’t it? He’s gonna hate the fact that you’re running away with me. And I’m pretty sure he’s gonna try to keep you from his kids.

Victoria: You know, I have been thinking about the impact that this would have on the children, and I actually think that I can — I can — I can reason with billy. I mean [Sighs] He’s not going to keep johnny and katie away from their mother.

Ashland: Are you sure about that?

Victoria: When it comes to determining what is best for the kids, I know that billy usually does the right thing. And depending on where we end up living, we’ll just have to come up with some kind of an arrangement.

Ashland: I’m not sure that’s going to be possible.

Victoria: Why would you say it like that?

Ashland: Because your ex can be vindictive. He’s proved it over and over again.

Victoria: Oh. I know, but…billy is a totally different person now. As ironic as that sounds, as much as he’ll hate to see me doing this with you, I think he’ll take great satisfaction in me finally walking away from my father. He despises him more than anyone, even adam. You’re not even a close third when it comes to the two.

Ashland: Are you really willing to take that risk?

Traci: Jack, I am so sorry you’ve been put in this position.

Jack: Oh, thanks. So am I.

Traci: But you’re doing the right thing. Kyle has to know the truth, and better it come from you where you can at least sort of prepare him. Although, god, how do you prepare a kid to learn that his mother skipped town to save her own skin and let him and everybody else believe she was dead?

Jack: Yeah, I don’t think we can count on diane to show much finesse. She’s been so callous about kyle’s emotions ever since her “death.”

Traci: Okay, I’ve been thinking a lot about the timing on this, jack. Why reveal herself now?

Jack: Oh, there is a reason, rest assured. Diane has a plan. And I am going to make it my life’s mission to figure out exactly what it is.

Diane: Your hotel? My, my, how things do change.

Phyllis: Stop the act. You know this is my hotel. You know that. That’s why you made a beeline for it when you landed.

Diane: You’re right. I won’t insult your intelligence that way. What I mean is it would be a pointless lie since I know very well what you’ve been up to since I’ve been away.

Phyllis: Oh, do you?

Diane: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Oh, is that so?

Diane: I’ve followed the lives of a lot of people in genoa city, not just jack and kyle.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness, listen to you. And I’m on the short list. I’m so lucky.

Diane: You’re running with the big dogs now.

[ Chuckles ] Congratulations, phyllis. It’s a beautiful hotel. And you fought hard to make this a success. Your success. You know, I’m really quite impressed given —

Phyllis: Okay, cut. Cut the act.& Alright, did you follow me and jack from la? Is that what you did?

Diane: Don’t be absurd.

Phyllis: Do you have any idea the hell that’s gonna rain down on you if anyone knows you’re here, diane?

Diane: [ Sighs ] I just — I just wanted to be here, prepared, for once jack tells kyle that I’m alive.

Phyllis: Prepare for what? What are you preparing for?

[ Chuckles ] Honestly, how do you see this playing out? For copd,

Diane: I’ve played it out in my head so many times, you know, seeing kyle again, being reunited with my son.

Phyllis: Okay, well, don’t bet on that happening, and don’t get too comfortable here if you know what’s good for you.

Diane: Is that a threat?

Phyllis: No, just advice. Listen, jack’s hoping — I’m betting — that when kyle finds out that you’re actually not dead, he’s not gonna want to have anything to do with you.

Diane: Gee, thanks.

Phyllis: I think you wasted a trip, diane. Sorry. But on the off chance kyle wants to meet with you, I’m gonna have to ask you not to do that in my hotel. I don’t want the fireworks here. Can you just check in to the athletic club, please?

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Are you throwing me out?

Phyllis: Nothing I would like to do more than to throw you out, that’s for sure.

Diane: Oh, then what’s stopping you?

Phyllis: You know what’s stopping me? If I throw you out, then you get to play the victim, and I’m not gonna let you do that this time. You know what I’m gonna do instead? I’m gonna take your money and I’m gonna ignore you, diane.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Wow. Wow, you really have a knack for this hospitality thing. No — no, really, phyllis, it’s a gift.

Phyllis: If you create any trouble, I’m throwing you out on your butt.

Diane: Fair enough. But you don’t need to worry. I’ll behave.

Phyllis: I hope so.

Diane: Phyllis [Scoffs] I know it’s going to be very hard for you to accept that I’ve changed.

Phyllis: Oh, please, diane. I know you. You haven’t changed. I’m gonna give you a piece of advice. If people in this town that you’re actually alive and that you had the audacity to come back here, it’s not me you should be worried about. Things will get ugly in a real hurry.

Adam: I’m sorry that you think that of me. That I was purely acting out of selfishness.

Victor: Son, you said in so many words that you thought this was victoria’s fault. That she fell for a con man, therefore she should be stripped of her title. In favor of you.

Adam: Do I think that I’m a better leader than victoria? Hell yes. Because it happens to be true. But the approach that I took with ashland, it wasn’t about proving it to you or to anyone else.

Victor: So you weren’t out to impress me.

Adam: Well, to the extent that you were impressed, that pleases me. Yeah, I won’t deny it. I solved a problem that threatened everything that you have built your entire life. But the goal was to get ashland out, and it benefited the whole family. So whatever happens moving forward, I think we’re all better off for it, myself included. I’d say that’s a win all around.

Victor: I remember when you were a little boy on the farm in kansas. I taught you how to play soccer. Look at you now. You do impress me. But you’ve cost me a hell of a lot of money.

Adam: Well, it’s money, um, well spent. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s finalize this. Until we get ashland’s signature on the agreement, um, I don’t want anything to get messed up, since we’re this close to getting rid of that bastard.

Victor: I’m proud of you.

Victoria: Since the moment we got together, billy has been meddling in our lives. He’s been digging into your past, almost to the point of obsession, and bringing gaines to tuscany to stop our wedding.

Ashland: But see, that’s exactly why I think he’s gonna be so hard on you. He will see the two of us choosing to run away together as proof that he was right to oppose our marriage.

Victoria: I actually think that it will be the opposite. Look, you said that you thought billy was still in love with me secretly and that that was his motivation, but you’re so wrong about that. Billy just doesn’t want to see me hurt again the way that he hurt me, and he wants to see me with some peace in my life. The kind of peace that he was never able to give me. I know it’s not gonna be easy for him to admit, but when he looks into my eyes, the way that you’re looking into them right now, he’s gonna see how much i love you. I love you so much, even after everything that’s happened. And…he’s not gonna be able to fight that.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] So this really is a yes.

Victoria: I’m ready.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Okay. Okay, the world is ours. Where do you want to go?

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Tuscany.

Ashland: Of course.

Victoria: I mean, we own the palazzo.

Ashland: Yeah.

Victoria: It’s just so magical there. We had so many beautiful memories there.

Ashland: Okay. Tuscany it is.

Victoria: So go on, go take care of things with adam. I’ll be waiting here for you.

Ashland: Okay. And when I get back, we will start our new life together.

If you have medicare

and medicaid,

Diane: Thank you for reminding me how hated I am in this town.

Phyllis: No charge.

Diane: [ Huffs ] For the record, it’s incredibly difficult for me being back here.

Phyllis: Oh, come on, diane, please. When have you cared about what anyone thinks of you? I am actually interested in one thing.

Diane: What?

Phyllis: How’d you survive after all these years? I mean, you took on an alias and invested in therapy apparently. But how’d you pay your bills?

Diane: Well, uh, once I felt steady enough to venture out again, that I was confident my escape plan had worked, that nobody was going to come looking for me…

Jack: I have been doing some investigating into “taylor jenson’s” life in los angeles over the past few years, trying to come up with clues, something that’s gonna lead me to what diane is after.

Traci: And what did you find?

Jack: For starters, she tried to resume her career…

Diane: As an architect. But it was more competitive and difficult in los angeles. I couldn’t draw on the success of diane jenkins.

Phyllis: That’s one of the downfalls of faking your own death.

Diane: Well, my savings started to dwindle, and I was forced to take whatever job i could find. I — I started working in a real-estate office and answered phones, and pretty soon i learned the ropes and I got my realtor’s license.

Phyllis: It’s hard to picture you hustling, like the rest of us mortals. Even if it was in beverly hills.

Diane: It wasn’t as glamorous as one might think.

Phyllis: Oh, was it not?

Diane: No, I didn’t sell mansions to celebrities. It was small, postwar valley homes.

Jack: Taylor jenson had a modestly successful career as a residential real-estate agent. Hardly the life that diane was accustomed to.

Traci: Well, I suppose if you’re technically dead, it’s best to keep a low profile.

Jack: Yeah, when you’re keeping an eye on all the dollars, it kind of wears on someone as grasping and entitled as diane. My biggest worry right now is she’s gonna try to convince kyle to support her.

Traci: Well, that wouldn’t surprise me a bit. But either way, it’s gonna be kyle’s decision.

Diane: I kept my head down and made an honest living, and little by little, year by year, I made a life for myself in california.

Phyllis: Planning and plotting for the day when you could come back to genoa city and explode into our life again. Wreaking havoc on jack and everyone around him.

Diane: Phyllis —

Phyllis: I’m calling it like I see it. And then keemo’s house went on the market after he died, and you made a beeline for it because you found out that the owner was jack’s granddaughter allie, and you took advantage of a young woman grieving the loss of her father and you misrepresented yourself as a lovely woman…just there to hold her hand, right? Capitalizing on her grief and confusion.

Diane: Just stop. That is not how it happened. You’re just twisting everything around.

Phyllis: Am I? Am I really? See, I know who you are, and i don’t trust a word that comes out of your mouth, diane. And nothing you say or do is ever gonna change that.

Traci: So I guess we just focus on the positive — kyle will be coming to genoa city to spend some time, and he’s bringing that adorable harrison. I’m sure you’re excited about that, right?

Jack: Yes, I am, and I am hoping to convince allie to come out while they’re here. It seems like the perfect opportunity to meet her whole new family.

Traci: Jack, are you sure that’s a good idea?

Victor: Hello, ashland.

Adam: We’ve been expecting you.

Ashland: Hmm. Well, I don’t want to spend any more time here with you than I’m sure you want to spend with me, so let’s get to it, yes.

Adam: [ Clears throat ] Here’s the document. Pretty straightforward. You sign on page three. Which states for $500 million us, you agree to relinquish all ownership and control of newman/locke as well as agree to an annulment of your marriage to victoria.

Ashland: As if I never existed. But then that is the goal, isn’t it? To erase me from newman/locke and from victoria’s life.

Victor: Once you sign, we’ll transfer the funds.

Ashland: Hmm. Two unreadable faces. Well done, gentlemen. But I know that inside both of you must be salivating right now. Scarcely able to believe that i would make it this easy for you. Better skin from your body wash?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Jack: Why wouldn’t I want to invite allie here while kyle and harrison are visiting from milan? That never happens. She gets to meet you, ashley, billy.

Traci: Naturally, you want your granddaughter to meet her new family as soon as possible. I’m your biggest supporter. I support that wholeheartedly, jack.

Jack: Yeah, you lobbied for it the last time we talked.

Traci: But that was before i knew about diane. And do you really think that you can welcome her —

Jack: Allie has met diane, and she has been appropriately warned.

Traci: But that doesn’t mean it’s gonna go smoothly. Or that the explosion is gonna be short-lived. Ah. If the goal is to ease allie into the meeting her new family for the first time, do you really think that it’s such a good idea to bring her into such a volatile mix?

Jack: You’re right. You’re right. Telling kyle the news about diane is enough.

[ Doorbell rings ] I’ll get it. Hey.

Phyllis: Sorry I didn’t call first.

Jack: That’s okay. What’s wrong?

Phyllis: You want the bad news or the worse news?

Jack: Um, whatever the news is, tell me.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Diane is here in genoa city. Staying at my hotel.

Adam: I’m sure you’ll find everything in order. The agreement exactly as we discussed. As my father, we are prepared to do our part immediately after you sign.

Victor: $500 million to the account you specified.

Ashland: Okay.

[ Clears throat ] Initial page one. Sign page three.

Victor: Alright, it’s done. The money has been transferred. You’re out of our lives.

Ashland: Don’t assume you’re speaking for your entire family, victor. Your daughter —

Victor: Spare me.

Nikki: Is it a bad time?

Victoria: No.

[ Sighs ] I mean, yes, but…I’m glad you’re here. Maybe you can help calm me down.

Nikki: I hear that ashland has agreed to adam’s plan to pay him off.

Victoria: From dad, I assume.

Nikki: Is it true?

Victoria: Yes. But he has one condition.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] What is the condition?

Victoria: Once ashland signs away control of the company and gets the money, he wants me to break all ties with the family and go away with him.

Nikki: What?!

Victoria: He’ll agree to the annulment, mother, if — if i stay with him.

Nikki: Well, you didn’t agree to that, did you?

Victoria: Well, of course i did. What other way was I going to get him out of newman and out of our family’s lives? It’s what you all wanted, wasn’t it?

Nikki: What do you want? That was just a ploy on your part, right?

Victoria: Right now ashland is signing away his entire life. Everything that he’s built, everything that…that we’ve built.

Nikki: Honey, you don’t owe him anything. Not after all of his lies and the way he used you. There is nothing binding you to that agreement. It was just words. Unless… please don’t tell me you want to stay with him.

Jack: This is just the kind of stunt diane would pull — showing up incognito so that when kyle arrives, she can pounce on him for god knows what reason.

Phyllis: Well, whatever the reason is, we are not gonna like it.

Jack: How did she seem?

Phyllis: I don’t know. She went on and on about how she was trying to rebuild her life in the last 10 years, and she wants to mend fences with her son.

Jack: Yeah, sticking to her story like the skilled liar she is.

Phyllis: You know, I said a couple things to her, started baiting her, see if she would lash out at me. She didn’t go there.

Jack: So you believed her?

Phyllis: Well, she was convincing. She puts on one of the best sincere acts I’ve ever seen.

Jack: Wait, then you’re buying it.

Phyllis: No. Not for a minute.

Jack: I don’t like that she’s even close. I heard from kyle that he and harrison are coming in soon.

Phyllis: Yeah, summer called me on my way over here.

Jack: So how do I keep diane away from kyle before I can talk to him?

Phyllis: You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll do that for you. That’s what I’m for. I mean, you have enough on your plate, telling kyle the truth and how he’s gonna react when he finds out that his mother’s still alive.

Jack: I want you to know i appreciate you dropping everything and trying to help me through all this. I mean it, you have consistently been there for me.

Phyllis: I’m happy to do it. I really am. Just so you know, I’m also protecting my daughter, ’cause whatever happens to kyle affects her. So not only am I in “best friend” mode, but I’m in “mama bear” mode. And make no mistake, this is personal for me.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Hmm. “The business world is speculating about recent moves at newman/locke, where chairman emeritus victor newman has abruptly installed his son, adam newman, as temporary ceo.”

[ Chuckles ] Victor’s at it again. Pulling strings, keeping everyone guessing. “Adam newman seen at society with his recently-appointed coo, sally spectra, appearing to mix pleasure with business. Future power couple in the making?”

[ Chuckles ] “Nikki newman to chair arts foundation gala for 10th consecutive year. Her organizational talent par excellence, tireless dedication to worthy causes –” blah, blah, blah, blah. “Mrs. Newman is a bright light in our community, and a powerful voice. A force to be reckoned with.”

[ Sighs ]

Nikki: I’ve been so worried about you, being under all this pressure. And I-I know your feelings for ashland are still strong. Despite everything he’s done, he still has a hold on your heart.

Victoria: Mom, I know. I know I shouldn’t be so confused and conflicted. But [Sighs] God help me, I am. And you’re right, this has been really, really hard. All of the pretending and lying to his face and the hate that I feel for him for what he’s done to me and the family. While at the same time…I feel like I’m grieving the loss of — of my marriage and — and the man that I thought was my soulmate.

Nikki: Well…you must have put on the performance of a lifetime to get him to agree to this deal.

Victoria: Do you know why i was able to pull it off, mom? Because…those feelings are still there for me to draw from. And even though I’ve slowly been putting the screws to him… I just have reconciled it at all in my heart or in my mind. After everything that ashland and I have been through and everything that we’ve shared, I mean, ashland’s love for me, it just — it seemed so powerful and real. I mean, could it have all been fake this whole time?

Nikki: Yes, because he is a sociopath. He knows all the right words to say, put on the perfect act, while feeling nothing except for some sick satisfaction that he was able to dupe us. Darling, don’t be ashamed that you thought it was genuine. We all did. This isn’t your fault. Do you understand, baby? It’s not your fault.

Victoria: I know that, mom. I’m not blaming myself. I just don’t know what to do with all of this love that i have in my heart.

[ Voice breaking ] Where does it go?

[ Sobbing ]

Nikki: In time, it will fade. And then you will heal. And you have your entire family to help you, baby, don’t worry. I know.

Victor: You wanted to be treated as an equal — a man worthy of having his name side-by-side with mine. But you couldn’t do it through grit and hard work. You did it by taking advantage of my daughter’s feelings and by taking advantage of this family’s generosity, by claiming to be terminally ill. That, my man, is sick.

Ashland: You may find this hard to believe, victor [Sighs] But I still admire the hell out of you. I really do. Your devotion to your family. Your commitment to your empire. You’re a shining example for all of us.

Adam: Look, now that everything’s finalized, you should — you should leave.

Ashland: One more thing. My love for your daughter has not changed, even in this moment. She is a remarkable woman, an independent woman, and no matter what, you should be proud of her.

Victor: Get him the hell out of here.

Adam: [ Sighs ] We hit the bike trails every weekend

Diane: [ Sighs ] Was coming here a mistake? Can I really pull this off? If I — if I reconnect with kyle and it goes well, then what? Ugh! Why didn’t I think this through before I left la?

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ] Damn it, phyllis. Now what? Why can’t you just leave me alone?

Jack: What the hell do you think you’re doing?

Adam: I’m glad you got that off your chest. Told him what we all think about him. But let’s not waste any more brain space on ashland locke, okay? It’s over. We won.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ]
