All right. One lavender latte and one brownie. Thank you.

Is that Mariah?

Yeah. And I also spoke to Noah. And I hugged Faith so hard, I made her squeak. As worried as I was about myself when I was in that clinic, I was so much more worried about what the kids were going through, not knowing where I was. Only you, after going through something like that, would be worried about everyone else. Are you sure you’re cool here? Do you want to go home and get some rest? No. This is exactly where I want to be. Everyone is so happy and living their lives and free. And now I am, too. All because of you. Man, I cannot believe that Phyllis and Sharon have been held captive this whole time and that whoever did it gave you clues to find them. I mean, that’s like the strangest kidnapping I’ve ever heard of. You have no idea. Well, I also can’t believe that you just dove in and followed through on tracking them down. Well, when the picture of Phyllis and Sharon came through from the actual person who kidnapped them, there was no way that I wasn’t gonna do something about it. What if it had been a trap? If there was the slightest chance that I was able to save Phyllis, I was gonna do it.

Mom. Oh, my God!

Thank God.

My babies.

Oh, my gosh. We were going up to your room. I thought that you would be resting. Are you okay? I am now that I’ve seen you two. Yeah, we’ve been worried sick. What happened? All right, the ladies said they found a camera in here, so my guess is there’s gotta be more. They also said that this sicko was here while they were sleeping, so maybe he left a trail. I don’t know. We just gotta find it. Now, I know this place is trashed, but I want to fingerprint the surfaces and look for anything. Does not matter how small. Anything that could lead us to whoever did this. You know, I say we do the town, go big. I want to show the woman I love– What are you doing? What Phyllis and Sharon just went through– And, I mean, I just– I’m the jerk that assumed that Phyllis went rogue on me. You had no way of knowing. I didn’t give her the benefit of the doubt at all. I literally took her name out of the press release for our company. Who does that? Billy, do not blame yourself. I should have trusted her, Sally. I should have known that she wouldn’t just bail on me like that. She is committed to this company just as much as I am, and I thought that she just took off. I should have known that something was wrong, and I– I didn’t. Well, I assume whoever was holding Phyllis forced her to tell some bogus stories so that her friends and family wouldn’t come looking for her. And that worked too damn well. Man, I just– I keep thinking about how terrifying that it must have been for Phyllis and Sharon, and you. I’m really glad you’re okay. I’m just glad we got there when we did. Why is that? When we finally… broke into the building and found out where they were, the room was filled with gas. I mean, literally, if we were five minutes later, Phyllis and Sharon… would be dead. This might be a long shot, but I’m hoping we can find some prints that don’t belong to the victims. Now, if we can do that, we can at least ID whoever did this and get one step closer to explaining his connection to Phyllis and Sharon. Mmm. I did not realize how much I took things like this for granted until I was locked away. Twice. [sighs] Just being able to go out and enjoy this coffee or my brownie. I never thought about how fortunate I am, we are, to be able to simply live our lives or make the most basic choice until all control was taken completely out of my hands. To be that helpless for someone as strong as you, there’s nothing easy about that. It’s behind me now. And part of retaking control of my life is finding out who did this to Phyllis and me. Is it too soon to ask you if there’s anything you remember about this, something that could give us some clue as to who was behind it? Would you believe that at one point, we actually wondered if the kidnapper really was someone that we knew? Like one of our own kids. Why would you possibly think that? Because whoever was responsible for this, they just knew so much about Phyllis and me, about her history, our hatred, how that’s impacted our families, our kids. And the whole new level that was taken to when Heather was murdered. Being locked in that room, searching for answers, we just let our minds go there that one of our kids could be trying to teach us a lesson. Yeah, I get it. But the problem with that is none of our kids are capable of doing anything like that. No, of course. You’re right. I don’t know that we actually really believed that. We were just desperate to find an answer about who would want to force us to face our past, our demons, and all of the bad stuff that we’ve been through. Man, talk about some extreme therapy. It was more like an attempted exorcism. Was it successful? Food. Food is good. Mom, you have no idea how happy it’s made me seeing you devour that burger. Same. Mmm. This is great. And this right here is very medicinal. Mmm. [sighs] I love this ’cause I have a choice. I have a choice between, um, salad and fries, but it’s not really a choice because I’d take the fries. But, um, I like it because it’s not poison. Um, I’m sorry. Was there poison in your food? I am just– I’m so happy that I’m here– take my hand–with my babies. Mom. Hey, you don’t have to pretend like everything’s fine. Yeah, or try and protect us. We want to hear everything. Everything, from the beginning. How did this even happen? Um… I–I was minding my own business, and I– I woke up in, um– in an abandoned, uh, psychiatric clinic with Sharon. And we tried to find a way out, but, um, we couldn’t. Trust me, we tried. Listen, there was never any ransom demand. So what was the point of the kidnapping? Was it just, like, a sick game? I don’t know. Uh… The person who did it made it clear that it was more than a game, that it was some weird experiment and that Sharon and I had to work together to finally get free. Mom, this person hasn’t been caught yet. That means that you’re still in danger. I’m sorry. I, um– I wasn’t snooping, I promise. It’s just that your phone was making this very strange alert sound, and I thought there was something wrong, so I grabbed your phone to see if it was going to burst into flames or something. You hear stories about that sort of thing happening. And that’s when I saw the alert, this strange alert. “Security breach at clinic. Precautions enacted.” What? It is none of my business. Of course it isn’t. I’m just trying to help. Well, was it a gas leak? It was on purpose. He rigged the gas to start leaking if Phyllis and Sharon tried to escape. That’s insane. Well, I mean, it’s a miracle that you and Nick and Chance showed up when you did. I mean, at least it’s a happy ending. Oh, I agree. But it won’t be a happy ending until they’re caught. Right now, whoever did this is still roaming the streets of Genoa City. Yeah, it’s terrifying knowing someone so evil is just out there. What happens next? We hope that Chance and the police can find out who it is before they do something this diabolical or, God forbid, worse to someone else. I need a bag over here. Summer, I mean it. Please don’t do that. Don’t freak out, please. Wait. How can I not freak out? Okay, I have protection. I have a lot of protection. I have GC’s finest. Chance, um, is leading the pack. Uh, hey, I don’t want you guys to worry more than you already have. Listen, I’m very happy to hear that you have protection, but whoever did this, they’ve already managed to evade the authorities so far. So, yeah, we’re gonna worry about you. Listen, whoever did this isn’t getting away with it, let me tell you that.

I will hunt them down…

No.

…and I will find them.

No. You can’t come for my family and expect me to sit back. No. You are not gonna go vigilante. There’s no way you can do that. It’s way too dangerous. Just promise us you’ll let the police take care of this. Oh, I will. No. No. I want you to say it. I want you to say all the words. “I promise I will let the police take care of this.” I promise I’ll let the police take care of this. That was very convincing. Thank you. Great. I guess we can move on. What I would like to know is, you said that you and Sharon, you were forced to work together. Whoever did this knew about… our– our decades of hostility toward each other and knew about our past and would give us riddles and tests, um, based on– based on our history. What happened? Well, at one point, I drank some water, and there was poison in it. And, oh, man, I was– It was so much pain. It was so much pain. I mean, I was paralyzed with pain. And Sharon screamed out for help, but the help that they gave was another riddle, and it was my life. My life was a punchline. Look, thank God Sharon obviously figured it out. That’s the irony. If it weren’t for Sharon, I wouldn’t be sitting here right now. [voice cracking] I wouldn’t be sitting here with my beautiful babies. This may sound strange, but I do want to believe that what Phyllis and I went through was ironically cathartic to whatever extent. How? The riddles we had to solve, working together to win the game so that we could go home, we did, in fact, face down some of our issues, maybe even come to terms with some of them. The most horrific part may also have been the most revealing. When you are forced to save each other’s lives? Yes. Can you talk to me about that? I mean, if it’s too soon, obviously you don’t have to. No. It’s all right. Um, Phyllis was the first one to be poisoned. One minute she was fine, and then the next, it was like she was dying right before my eyes. I’m guessing you were given a riddle to solve. And I did. I solved it. I found the antidote in time. We thought at that point that had to be the worst of it, but the next morning, Phyllis found me barely alive. I don’t know what it was or how it happened, but something caused my heart to slow down and almost stop. I am alive right now because Phyllis administered CPR. I mean, it’s so twisted to push you both that close to death for their own entertainment. It’s insane. Well, the Voice insisted that all of this was not about entertainment. It was more like some sort of psychological experiment. But they were playing God with your lives. They were ready to watch you die. Who does something that heinous? I-I’m so sorry. I hope I haven’t upset you. No, not at all. I’m… [sighs] And, you know, as for these messages, I don’t know what they are. I’ve been receiving alerts like this for a couple of days now, and once I saw “security breach,” I… Well–[sighs] I haven’t opened my phone since for fear that it’s been hacked. And if I do open it, then my data could be exposed. So that’s why I overreacted when I saw you holding it. And I please hope you forgive me for being a little intense about it. Mmm. That is good. And it’s no surprise that you’re so incredibly tense. Well, whatever you’re doing is helping. Thank you. [exhales] You know, I’m amazed at how much you risked to help your friends. As much as I would love to nail that son of a bitch and make them feel the pain that Sharon and Phyllis did, I will be more than happy to hand in my cape for a corporate jacket and let Chance and the GCPD handle it from here. Is that a promise? I promise you. Once Phyllis is okay and she’s back on her feet, it’s all about Abbott Communications and taking that company to the stratosphere. Not wearing a cape doesn’t make you any less of a hero, in case you were wondering. God, Mom, I– I’m just so glad that Sharon saved your life. Yeah, I am, too. You said that you had to save each other’s lives? Yeah. The next day, I woke up and Sharon didn’t have a heartbeat.

What?

Let me guess. Another riddle. Yeah. So it was in a card, actually. Luckily, I figured it out. And, um, I know CPR, so… I got Sharon alive and kicking. Wow. Listen, I gotta ask. You said that you and Sharon, you did work together. Were you able to work through any of that mutual anger that the two of you have? I think that, um, Sharon and I have… a new appreciation for each other’s strengths. Look, I… don’t even want to bring up his name, but… is there any chance that Ian Ward survived and he was the one behind all of this? Um, I thought the same thing, but Chance assured me that his body was cremated. I believe that. I’ll tell you, this freak has to be found. They have to be found sooner rather than later. I still can’t get over how much this person knew about me and Phyllis. And not just our history. About our personalities and what makes us tick. Makes me think whoever this is has some sort of experience in the field of psychology. You think? They knew what games to play that would push all the right buttons. Like pitting us against each other and then compelling us to work together. Forcing us to confront our hatred and distrust and then make choices that were literally life or death. I mean, it sounds like war games, not psychology. Sure felt like war at times. But I can’t help but think how similar this is to aversion therapy or desensitization therapy. It’s almost like you said earlier some sort of twisted therapeutic intervention. [sighs] I’m just so glad that you and Phyllis made it out of this. That’s all that matters. But right now, we really need to figure out who is behind this so they can never hurt anyone ever again. Well, of course I forgive you. And I am so sorry that I never even considered that this could be about your privacy. I can see why you would be really worried that some crazy hacker is trying to get all your personal data. What do you think about just starting with a new phone? You know what? That is a good idea. Anyway, it’s probably silly of me to have never opened it anyway. But, you know, I just wanted to be extra careful, that’s all. Wait. You–You have. You did. You texted me when you went out to get the engagement ring. You texted me to let me know you were on your way back to the club. You had to open your phone for that. Right? You know, you’re right. I did open it to text you earlier. Ha. You know, I must have been so excited to get back to my beautiful fiancée that I forgot about the risk. Besides, you know, it’s probably already been hacked and too late to do anything about it anyway. I would just feel so bad if I’m responsible for this somehow. Honey, this is not your fault. You did not know what was going on, and you were just trying to help. Yes, but your information might be out there, and someone might be using it. Ah. If they are, who cares? You know, and as a therapist, it would be interesting to feel what it’s like to have your identity stolen. Hmm? To be victimized like that, stripped of who you are…[chuckles] by some criminal who’s using your identity for their own nefarious purposes. That must be devastating psychologically. Maybe that would be an interesting experiment for me to face that, you know, to experience those feelings. But you already have, in Paris, when your brother Martin pretended to be you. [knocking] PHYLLIS: Billy? Hey, Billy, are you in here? [Sally sighs] Yeah, Phyllis. Come in. Ooh, hey. Oh, gosh. Am I interrupting? No, no, you’re–you’re fine. You look good. You look, well, better than the last time I saw you. Oh, yeah. Well, it is amazing, you know, what-what, uh, a shower and freedom will do. Yeah, Billy told me what happened. I’m really glad you’re okay. Thank you. I am, too. You know, it’s nice. I just kept on thinking about the people I love and that got me through, so… Hey, listen, I’m fine. Uh, well, I’m surprised to see you out and about. I just wanted to know if maybe we could have a conversation. You know what? That’s actually perfect timing ’cause I have to get back to the office. Okay. Thank you. I’ll catch up in a second. [Phyllis clears throat]

Take care of yourself.

Thank you. Thanks. That is the plan. So, what do you want to talk about? I’m not fine. [labored breathing] I’m not fine. I need my life back. You’re the only one who can help me. You want another latte? No. I think I’ve had enough caffeine. Although this was especially delicious. Hey, guys. I hope you don’t mind. Your security detail told me where to find you. I hope you tracked us down because you have an update. Yes. I just came from the clinic. We bagged a number of items, and now we’re just waiting for a fingerprint hit.

I hope you get it.

Yeah. It’s gotta be a long shot, right? I mean, the kidnapper must have been wearing gloves. Yeah, sort of. But I do have some good news. Now, we were able to trace the purchase of a remote-controlled apparatus that was attached to the gas line that was triggered. Now, I checked with the landlord. The device was definitely not there before. Turns out it was bought at a hardware store not far from the clinic. So, I just want you to know… I’m–I’m ready. I’m ready to jump into Abbott Communications. We are going to have the biggest, baddest launch ever. And I’m– I just wanted to apologize. I’m sorry. No, Phyllis, please do not. There’s no reason to apologize. I am sorry. I am. I’m sorry. Because we had a timeline. We had a timeline that was blown to bits…

Phyllis–

…because what happened– Hold on a second, okay? You were kidnapped, okay? You were just kidnapped. We almost lost you, all right? I don’t care about the business. Not when your well-being is at risk. Just take some time. It’s all good. We’ll figure it out. We’ll launch this company. There’s no doubt about that. But you just need to take some time. No, I’m fine. We had a strategy, and I screwed it up. We had a whole strategy. Phyllis, take some time, okay? Please. That’s an order. Okay, listen, listen. I want you to listen to me. You know what helped me when, um– when I was stuck there? I just–Obviously, I just kept on thinking about seeing my kids again. [sniffles] Um… But what helped me was knowing that I was coming back to Abbott Communications. Ah, come on. Billy, man, we’re building something so strong. We’re not just going to be outliers. We’re going to be leaders in the community. We are changing things for the better. We are building something so great. Us, with my son by my side. So…it’s so important to me. I need this now. [exhales] I need it. Now. Today. Not tomorrow. Not one day when I feel better. I need it now, okay? Please. Please. And I’ll be fine. It’s the only way I’m gonna get past what was taken from me. What we’re gonna do is we’re gonna analyze the hardware store security footage and see if anyone goes in there that you or Phyllis recognize. Well, I’ve been running through everyone I know, anyone I’ve brushed paths with. And other than Phyllis, I can’t think of anyone else who hates me as much as she did. Well, weirdly, thanks to our captor, even she doesn’t hate me as much as she used to. Sure. Yeah. I still need to bring her up to speed, but it very well could be that your abductor is someone that you two know. Look, there’s a pretty good chance that Phyllis has a list of people who hold a grudge against her, but this kind of insanity is next level. Well, let’s just hope the footage gives us a face that one of you recognize. Let’s get back to talking about the wedding. Okay. You know, that’s one of my favorite subjects.

Mine, too.

[both chuckle] While you were in the shower, I might have gone on the Internet and looked up a few ideas. A lot of options. And it’s pretty overwhelming. First, do we want to get married in Genoa City with family and friends nearby? I mean–And if so, where? A quaint little chapel? Or maybe we could get married at my house. I think that’d be a lovely place to get married. And according to Diane, it’s going to be even lovelier after the refresh. I’m sure it will be. [chuckles] But then I had another idea. I’m all ears. What do you think about going back to Paris, where we have so many memories of getting to know each other? Okay, maybe they weren’t all wonderful. Oh, no. You’ve brought so much joy into my life that all the not so wonderful parts I’ve forgotten about. Oh! But you have given me… more than you will ever know. And that’s why I want our wedding to be just perfect. Um, we could also do the toes-in-the-sand beach thing. That seems to be very popular. As long as I’m marrying you, I don’t care where. Oh! [chuckles] [cell phone pings] [sighs] Okay, this is kind of strange. What possible kind of hack could this be? Look, why do you keep asking questions about this phone? I told you, some crazy person hacked me, and I can’t control what they do, okay? Not how many messages they send me. Look, it’s off, all right? Won’t bother you anymore. [sighs] I was worried about it because I thought it would bother you. You’re right. I’m– I’m sorry I snapped. I– Look, honestly, this whole thing is stressing me out, and that’s not fair to you. And–[sighs] you know– We’re in love. We just got engaged. We’re gonna spend the rest of our life together, and that’s all that matters. You know what? This idea of getting married in Paris, that is starting to grow on me. Do you think we should, jump on a jet, maybe check out some venues? Look, I get it, okay? I mean, you want to feel like you’re on solid ground and that you’ve got your life back under control, but it’s really important that you don’t take on more than you can actually handle right now. Listen, I-I-I know what I need. I know. And I need the excitement and energy of launching our company, and that–that is gonna get me past this.

I know that.

No, I hear you. I do. But–I mean, Phyllis, are you–you’re sure? It’s, uh– You’ve just been through a lot. I know. Hey. I’m positive, okay?

Okay.

Okay. All right. Good, good. Good, good, good. Where do you want to start? With the press release? Yeah. Look, I–I need to make a confession. Oh. A confession. Okay. Go for it. [sighs] Phyllis, I thought you went AWOL on me. I did. And I was an idiot. And the press release went out, and– I–Hey. I get it. Business is business. Phyllis, the press release went out without your name attached to it. Oh. Excuse me. I’m sorry, okay? I’m sorry. I was an idiot. I made a mistake. I–I– Don’t worry about it. I–You thought I bailed on you.

I understand.

I was an idiot, okay? I made a mistake, and I realized it very quickly. I–I understand. After the press release went out, you realized that… Phyllis, I–I realized that you would never bail on me. I realized that you would never bail on this company, not after working so hard to bring Daniel on board everything. And I-I-I-I started to– I realized you were in trouble. Can I ask you a question? I just want you to tell me the truth. Um, do you want me to work with you? I mean, really, or is this kind of a mercy thing right now? Phyllis, I need you. I need your fire. I can’t do this with anyone else. You’re the only person on the planet that I want to do this with. But most importantly, will you forgive me? [sighs] Of course I forgive you. You saved my life. Of course I forgive you. Chance, thank you for being so thorough on this. If anyone can catch this monster, it’s you. Oh, well, you know what? You have been through a hell of a last few months, haven’t you? I don’t think anyone would blame you if you wanted to get out of town for a while and clear your head. Sharon, he’s right. You’ve been talking about going to Sedona forever. Go. Regroup. Get some rest. Actually, a better idea. You should take Faith. Go to Europe, see Noah. Hang out with your son. He would love to see you. You know what? Yeah. Now is a good time to go. Absolutely. It’s what you need. Okay. I’ll do it on one condition. What’s that? You go with us.

Oh, Sharon. We need to find that surveillance camera. We’ve already looked, Phyllis. Yeah, not hard enough, and they’re watching everything we do. Yeah, I know they are, which means they can also see us searching for the camera. Not if we’re smart. What? What do you want us to do? Sort of casually stroll through the room like we’re, I don’t know, measuring for wallpaper? What do you want to do? Just stand here and wait for them to do what they plan to do, which is probably kill us after they’ve had their fun? No, I say we just do it right out in the open. I don’t follow that. I mean, who cares? If they can see that we’re trying to dismantle the camera, let them. Let them come here and try to stop us. Oh, wait. You have something there. I like that. So what you’re saying is we shouldn’t pretend to sleep. We should just dismantle the camera in the open and sort of dare them to come in here. At least it’ll give us a chance to try to get out of here. This is a good idea, and it just builds upon my idea. But you’re talking about doing everything out in the open and sort of lure them in, right? I like this. You’re taking it a step further. Okay, should we get looking? No, no, no, no. Let’s take it even one step further. What do you mean? Let’s trash the place. Let’s trash it like a rock star hotel room on New Year’s Eve. We’ll really get them down here. Let’s do it. I have some aggression to get out of my system. I’m sure you do, too. What are you waiting for? You know what? I better give Summer a call. I talked to Daniel and Summer. There’s no update on Phyllis. Nobody’s heard anything. Damn it. -I’m sorry, Nick. -Yeah, it’s just with every lead that doesn’t pan out, with every hour that goes by, our worst suspicions are being confirmed. There’s something wrong here. You know, when you first mentioned the idea that maybe Sharon and Phyllis were kidnapped, I’m really starting to think that’s a possibility. Well, I know that Chance is going to really lean into that angle. He’s already talked to the highway patrol, all the hospitals, the local clinics. Maybe that’ll turn something up. Look at us, huh? Coming together to try and find Phyllis and Sharon. It’s a– it’s a little ironic, given our history. It’s kind of crazy. Chance is going over some security footage. Um, it might narrow down the search area for where Sharon and Phyllis are being held. Okay, well, that’s great. Whereabouts? It’s an old warehouse district, a lot of abandoned buildings, a lot of places in the shadows to hide where nobody can hear you. Does that make any sense to you? Click here for information on the Havenhurst Psychiatric Clinic. You don’t think this is spam, Nick? Let’s see if this is even a real place to start with. Hm. So, Havenhurst Clinic is an actual clinic. It seems like it’s permanently closed, though. I’ve got a map of the warehouse district that Chance’s team can search. Let me guess. Havenhurst is in there. It is. And that can’t possibly be a coincidence. If this is, this confirms that Phyllis and Sharon are being held hostage in the facility. They already shared their location, Nick. We can go to them now. We can help. I love you too, Supergirl. I will call you once I get to Havenhurst and figure out what’s going on. I promise you, we’re going to find your mother and Sharon and bring them home. You just have to hang in there. Bye. Summer sounds scared. Man, she’s terrified. The whole family is. Well, it’s been a nightmare for months for Phyllis and Sharon’s family, and you’ve been at the nexus of both. Man, you aren’t kidding. First, Ian Ward shows up out of nowhere, links up with Jordan, somehow breaks her out of prison and they do all of this to just terrorize Sharon. Go after the Newmans again, too. Man, straight up evil. Now we’ve got this other lunatic on the loose who kidnaps both Sharon and Phyllis, man? It is just– It’s too much. Can’t argue with that. I just hope we get there in time. And what’s the plan when we get there? I don’t know, but Chance sure as hell is not going to like it that we’re there. I think the best thing we can do is just follow his lead. What if he tells us to turn around and go home? That is not happening. I agree. Just wanted to hear you say it. I just can’t stop trying to wrap my head around this whole thing. I don’t get it. This person kidnaps Sharon and Phyllis. They put them in an old abandoned psychiatric clinic. For what? There’s no ransom demand. There’s no notes. Just a riddle on an e-card. Who will pay the price to save the life of the mind? Still trying to figure out what that means. It can’t possibly be just a random comment. I mean, clearly someone is going to pay the price for saving them. Is it going to be Phyllis and Sharon? Is it us? I mean, he’s leading us directly to them. What does that mean? I don’t know. I wish I had an answer for you. But something tells me we’re going to get an answer very, very soon. Whoa. What– what are you two doing here? The same thing that you are. Nick, do not do that. What did I say? I said wait for me to call you. Yeah, I don’t remember you mentioning that. And it wouldn’t have mattered if we did. No, it wouldn’t have. If they’re in there, Chance, we’re not leaving. In fact, I’ll get the Newman security team to come out here and back us up. No, you are not. Now, I don’t need more complications around here, okay? I am in contact with them. Do not fight me on this either. Chance, what are these cops standing around for? Why aren’t we busting down the door? Well, Billy, we are waiting for the landlord to let us in, okay? Now, we don’t even know if Phyllis and Sharon are even in here. We got a text about this location from Phyllis’ burner phone. Where the hell else could they be? We will find out when the landlord gets here. Now, we’re also waiting for a search warrant.

A search warrant?

Yes, Billy, a search warrant. That’s how we do things. That’s the law. If they’re in there, we don’t know if they’re alive or what kind of condition they’re in. Last thing we have is a screenshot, okay? We don’t know what’s going on in there, Chance. I understand that you two are frustrated, okay? No, I don’t think you do. These women have been through hell the past six months. If they’re alive, it’s only from sheer luck and determination. Now you’re asking us to stand around and wait for permission to go in? I’m not asking, Nick. I’m ordering it, okay? Now, we don’t know what’s in there. This whole thing could be a diversion that this bastard cooked up. It could be a trap. We don’t know. My gut tells me it’s not. Okay, that’s great, but we’re not going to smash our way in. This is a police matter. We’re going to follow police procedure. You got it? [phone pinging] Would you look at that? Search warrant got approved. Okay, so does that mean– Like I said, Billy, we’re going to wait for the landlord to open the door. Ah! This feels great! It does, doesn’t it? I can’t believe we didn’t think about this before. You know what? I think that we both got so tired of being lab rats. I am not a rodent. You know what? You’re right, Phyllis. You’re not. You have always just been you. And you know what that is? I’ll tell you. A holy terror!

Yeah.

SHARON: A terror! A holy terror. That’s more like it. Ah! This is so cathartic! You know what? This one… is for Ian Ward. You sick son of a bitch! You wanted a family? My family? Well, you were willing to kill for it. You almost killed me! Oh, my. And you know what you got from that? Your own funeral. Yeah, that’s right. A sad and lonely death. Because there was no one there to mourn you. Now that is real justice. That is justice. And guess what? This is for you, Jordan! Jordan, the devil’s bride! Yeah, that’s right. This is for you, Jordan. Jordan, thanks a lot for drugging me and sticking me in the sewer! Yeah, Jordan! And guess what? Thanks a lot for running me off the road! And you know what? This, this one… This one… This is for poisoning my medication, making me out of my mind. I didn’t know what I was doing. This is for Heather’s death! For me blaming Daniel and putting you and your family through so much pain. I’m– I’m really sorry about all of that. We don’t need to go there. Sharon. We don’t. We don’t need to go there anymore. We don’t. Honestly, I– I… I think that part, it’s good that I– I was stuck here with you. Because I realized I wasted so much of my life trying to get you to pay for all the crimes you committed. That you thought I committed. You know, we both have had a lot of time here to think about us, you and me, and what our hatred has cost us. Yeah. I guess it took being imprisoned here by some psychotic and all of our history being thrown in our face for us to realize it. I’ve heard of tough love, but you know, this is kind of ridiculous. Ah, this is very sweet and warm and runny, but we got a job to do. We gotta– we gotta keep on going. Yeah, let’s keep going.

PHYLLIS: Yeah.

Hey, do you think that– Do you think they’re watching us? Oh, oh, listening, definitely listening. Hey! Listen to this! This isn’t a game anymore! We’re not going down without a fight! No, we are not going down! No, we can’t! We gotta do this for our family. Yeah, for our family, for sure. We have put them through too much already. Oh, my gosh, they’re scarred for life. And things were finally getting back on track, almost back to normal! Almost back to normal? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! But you had to bring us here to teach us a lesson. Yeah, well, lesson learned, sicko.

Thanks for that.

You can go to hell. ‘Cause we’re not done. We are not done.

We have too much to live for.

Too much. We have our families to live for. We have our families to live for. Daniel, Summer, Lucy. Noah, Mariah, Faith, Aria, Cassie’s memory, and…

Nick!

Nick.

Nick.

[Sharon chuckling] [Phyllis laughing] [Sharon laughing] Cassidy First. Yes, yes, Cassidy First and your new job with Billy.

You have to fight for that.

I have to fight for my job. I definitely have to fight for my job. Yeah. Okay. You listening to that? I have to fight for my job. Come on, did you hear that? Yeah, what are you gonna do now? Now, you’re not gonna be able to see us. You won’t know what we’re thinking or planning.

Now, it’s your turn…

Wow.

…to wonder what’s going on.

No. [laughing] There’s no stopping us. You wanna try to stop us? There’s no stopping us! You try! Where is this guy? He said he’s on his way.

Is he walking?

He will be here. Okay. Now, we are as close to the middle of nowhere as one could possibly be without a map, so let’s just hang on a little bit longer. We have been hanging on. What are we supposed to tell the women if they’re in there? And I believe they are. You gotta hang on too? Hey, I know you’re anxious, okay? I am too. We all are. I wanna get this guy too. I want them locked away forever. But what I do not want is for them to escape by on some kind of legal technicality. No, what we don’t want is to finally get in and realize Sharon and Phyllis are dead because we’re out here deciding if we’re gonna break the law. I swear to God, if that landlord doesn’t show up, we’re busting down this door, Chance. Are you Detective Chancellor?

No, he is.

That’s me. What do you want me to do? Open the damn door! Hey! Wait a minute. Now, has anyone contacted you in the past few weeks showing interest in this place? I mean, think about it, man. Anything. A phone call, a text message. This place has been out of business for years. Give me the keys. Thank you. This isn’t working. What’s the problem? Somebody must have changed the locks. Well, that’s not possible, because you just said nobody’s inquired about this building for years, didn’t you? Man, we are wasting time. We need to get in there. Look, we’re gonna break this lock right now or smash through that door. You got a problem with that? SHARON: I can’t believe we actually found the camera. Yeah. This freak must be so good at hiding Easter eggs. Hey, there you go. I think you just solved the riddle. We were kidnapped by the Easter Bunny. That’s a great story to tell our kids. You know what? It would be no crazier than anything else. Oh, isn’t that the truth? Place looks great. Yeah. Yeah. I like our personal touch.

Junkyard chic.

Yes. That’s so funny. You’re funny. That– that’s a good thing, right? Yeah. It’s such a good thing.

Okay, no, I’m–

Take that as a compliment. I was just checking because I don’t usually get that from you. Yeah, I mean, I didn’t ever think you were particularly amusing, so, you know, but you were. Well, you know, it’s not like we bring out the laughs in each other, right? That’s for sure. It took us to be here in this hellhole to realize that, right? Because this was hilarious. Yeah. Oh, just a barrel of monkeys, right? There is a fine line between tragedy and comedy. You know, we should have thought to do this on day one. If we did it on day one– We would’ve saved ourselves a lot of misery. No, we would have clocked each other with a lamp or something. Oh, you know, you’re probably right. Yeah. Thank you. So, what happens now? Um, well, the voice can’t see us, right? So, I assume the voice will be very, very upset. We should expect a visit. Yeah, but this time, we will be ready for them. This time, we will have the upper hand. Damn straight we will. You know, probably, they’re gonna show up with some kind of weapon, though, right? Hm. Yeah, maybe. We should get something to protect ourselves. Um… I– I got this. I got this. Oh, this. Okay. Oh, yeah, that’s good. That– that works. Okay. Let’s get ready.

We should hit the lights.

Okay. So, we wait, right? We wait. The landlord doesn’t care about the building. Can we please just smash this door? Shatterproof glass, Billy. Knock yourself out.

There you go.

Hold on. Hold on. What’s the problem? We don’t know what’s in there, Nick. My people go first. Fine, but we’re right behind them. Did you hear that? Barely. It was definitely a door closing. Are you sure? It just sounded so far away. No, no, definitely. Definitely. Come on. Get ready.

Get ready.

Okay. [phone pinging] Hey. Look. Stay here just in case someone comes. What does it say? It’s another riddle. Not very sportsmanlike, ladies. You lose. That’s not a riddle. That is a threat. More like a death sentence. Are you having second thoughts? Hm. Just saying. Feels like we took the wrong bet. No. No, we didn’t. We smoked him out. We smoked the voice out. He’s coming for us. Come on. Get ready.

Come on.

No turning back now. No. No turning back now. He’s coming for us, and we are armed. We’re ready. All right? We’re gonna take him down. Yeah, yeah. It’s us against them. It is us against them, Sharon. It is us against them. We are badasses, and you know it. Everything that we’ve done in our life, everything that we have done to survive. Yeah, we are. Everything that we did to protect our family. We’re survivors. We’re survivors. Yes, we are survivors.

Take my hand. Take my hand.

Okay. All right? We got this.

Deep breaths.

We got this. [low hissing] What’s that? I don’t know. What is that? Oh, God. It’s gas. Where is the gas coming from? I don’t know. We got to find it. Yes, we have to find it now.

Oh, here. Here.

You found it? Yeah, behind the fridge. Okay, good. Turn it off. Please, turn it off. Right there. Damn it. SHARON: What? PHYLLIS: It’s not pushing.

Oh, God.

Oh, my God. Okay. Sharon, what are you doing? We got to find something. Here. Use this to try to stop it. [both coughing] NICK: What is that music? They’re here. I know it. Sharon! Phyllis! PHYLLIS: Come on. Come on. It isn’t working. PHYLLIS: I know. It’s not working. I’m choking on the fact it’s not working. Okay, calm down. Calm down. I can’t be calm. Come on. Oh, my God. We need something. We need, like, electrical tape or something. Okay, I’ll find something. Oh, my God. Is this your goal? You’re trying to snuff us out? You’re not gonna win. We’ll never let you win. We’re getting out of here. Here. Use this. Oh, God. Oh, my God. [coughing] Oh, my God. It’s not working. Sharon! Phyllis! Nick get back. Get back. [door bangs]

Wait. Wait a minute.

What?

Did you hear that?

What? It’s– [indistinct] It sounded like voices. Someone talking. PHYLLIS: Oh, God, it’s nothing. Just like I thought I heard the door close. It’s nothing. They would have found us by now

if it was someone.

SHARON: No. Phyllis, I mean it. I heard someone. You didn’t hear someone? Please find electrical tape. Come on. We don’t have a lot of time. But Phyllis, you know there isn’t any. Yes, there is. Look for it. Phyllis, get away from there.

Phyllis.

I can’t. Yes, you are gonna pass out if you don’t move. Move away! [Phyllis coughing] [doorknob rattles] None of the other rooms were locked. Oh, my God. No. Phyllis. Phyllis. The voice is here. What? Come on. Come on. You gotta get over here and help me. I don’t think I can. Phyllis. Phyllis. [doorknob rattles] [Phyllis coughing]

[door bangs]

[Sharon screaming] Phyllis. Phyllis, you need to keep your nose and mouth covered. NICK: Sharon! Phyllis! Nick. Oh, my God. Thank God. Phyllis, it’s Nick. He’s found us. Nick! We’re in here! Are you okay? Yes, but you need to hurry. Sharon, is Phyllis with you? Yes, she is. But she’s not doing so well. You have to hurry up. Phyllis, Phyllis, stay strong. They’re here. Stand back. We’re gonna shoot the lock. No! No, there’s been a gas leak. You’ll cause an explosion. Okay, then back up. Hey. BILLY: Phyllis. Phyllis. Stay. Stay with me. You’re safe. Phyllis, I’ve been looking for you. Phyllis? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Phyllis, okay, I got you. Is she okay, Billy? I don’t know. We got to get them out of here. Yep. Hey, I still think we should take them to the hospital, just in case, just to be safe. I don’t disagree, but the EMTs checked them out. They said they could go home. For as long as they were stuck in that room, they just want to feel something familiar, be in a safe place. You got anything new on that building? No, nothing new, but my guess, this guy didn’t leave much of a trail. I mean, seriously, this thing was carefully plotted out. What about the gas leak? It was programmed to go off. We found a trigger.

That’s crazy.

It’s diabolical. I mean, there was a lot of thought and a lot of preparation that went into this. I’m telling you, it’s not just some random kidnapping. I don’t understand. I mean, why would they do this? And who? How are you two feeling? Better, thanks. Alive. Which we didn’t think was gonna happen until you guys showed up. We had all but given up hope that anyone would be able to track us down in that horrible place. Look, we’re gonna fill you in on everything that’s happened later on, but right now, I need you to tell us, how did this happen? How did you end up in that clinic? We don’t know. We were drugged and we were taken there.

Separately?

Uh, yeah. I mean, we didn’t even know the other was there until we woke up. That’s for sure. We thought it was somebody’s idea of, um, a joke. Yeah, given our relationship. I mean, you guys probably thought we took each other out, right? Actually, I’ll rephrase that. You– you probably thought I took Sharon out, didn’t you? I mean, it may have come up. Well, I gave you ample reason to think that. You know, I certainly threatened it for a long time, which I’m sure this lunatic was betting on people thinking that way. Do you know who this lunatic is? No, we have no clue. We never even saw whoever it was. We did hear their voice, though. Yeah, and they spoke to us in this distorted voice. We don’t know if it was a man or a woman. And then we got the idea that maybe it could be that Jordan or Ian were still alive. PHYLLIS: They’re not alive, are they? No. I can vouch for that. Thank God. That is a blessing. Well, what that means is whoever this was is just as sick as they were, if not more so, if that’s even possible. Ian and Jordan are your garden variety psychopaths. Whoever this person is, they are sick. It was like they– they liked to watch us suffer. That they liked the game for their own entertainment, the game of cat and mouse. And you know how that game ends? The mouse dies. Well, I think everybody here is asking the same question. Who is this person? And it was just one person? We have no idea. Yeah, and they always spoke to us in the distorted voice, playing psychological games with us. What kind of games, exactly? They were riddles, mostly. The voice, that’s what we called him or whoever it was, would put us to a test to see if we could answer them. PHYLLIS: Yeah, and they knew about our history and our hostility toward each other through the years and they were using that. They knew a lot about us, which got us to thinking who would even care whether or not we got along? For a second I thought it was you.

Me? Seriously?

PHYLLIS: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, for years you were trying to broker peace between us and I thought that it was you. I mean, for a fleeting second I did. Look, of course, I want you two to get along, but I promise you, I didn’t drug or kidnap you to make that happen. Okay, well it was just for a second I thought that. You know, when you’re in a dungeon being trapped, your mind plays tricks on you. Can we go back to the riddles? What would happen after you answered them? You promised our freedom. And that was a lie. It only led to more riddles, which eventually escalated into us having to save each other’s lives. Seriously? You know they poisoned us. They just wanted to see if our hatred toward each other was stronger than actually saving each other. They were playing games with us. They were psychological games. We were like rats in a maze, being watched for somebody’s entertainment. It was like a science project. Well, we’re confident that whoever did this to you, they never intended to keep you there forever. Why would you say that? Because they basically led us directly to you.

What?

You’re kidding me. They gave us riddles as well. They weren’t very difficult to answer. I mean, especially the one that said, click here. Just like lab rats forcing you to push the lever to get more. It’s twisted. What do you think they do? Almost let us win? I mean, the gas is the answer to that. Maybe their endgame was having us be almost rescued. He’s definitely sick enough. You know what? I’m sure both of you are absolutely exhausted. There’ll be plenty of time for questioning after you’ve had some time to recover. What matters now is that you’re both safe and that part of this whole ordeal is over. Is it over? What if the voice is pissed off that we were rescued that way? What if being rescued was never part of the plan at all? This isn’t over for us. Whoever that is, they’re still out there. We have to find them before they strike again. [phone pinging] Again? That thing won’t stop. ANNOUNCER: Next week on The Young and the Restless. Hey, um, what’s going on? You tell me, is it true? Has my mom been admitted to a hospital in Chicago? Nick, I want you to be honest with me about your feelings. Do you ever think about us getting back together? So, the kidnapper wanted you to be found. PHYLLIS: Yeah. Whoever did it is a total whack job. This person hasn’t been caught yet. That means that you’re still in danger. You know, I see we do the town. Go big. I want to show the woman I love– What are you doing? Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.

Young & The Restless Transcript

 

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

Of course. Send him in. Morning, Pop. Adam. My son. Son, how are you? So, what’s going on? I came to see how you are.

Wanted to see your recovery.

You know, feeling better. I think soon I’ll be… working out again. Well, maybe you should hold off on the heavy bag for a little while. Gunshot wounds take a little bit of time to heal. I know. I know, I know, I know. But, you know, nothing keeps me down for long. Okay, well, just take it easy. What’s on your mind? You were right about something.

Huh.

Moving on the ranch was the best thing that I could have done. And bringing Chelsea with me. Good. [sighs] What do you think? Like I walked into the belly of the beast.

Stop.

No, seriously. Have you checked this place for booby traps? Like, if you touch something off limits, does a butler come and escort you out? We are safe here, I promise. And look.

We have breakfast.

Hmm. Well, you seem very comfortable here. I wasn’t at first. I felt the same way as you. This is the Newman ranch, Nikki and Victor’s turf. Yeah. Doesn’t exactly spark joy. But now I’m feeling more settled here. Feels like our home. My home. Well, mine, Connor’s and Adam’s. So you all live together here as a family, the three of you, but you’re not together with Adam? Uh, well, here’s the thing. Adam and I are not officially back together, but, um… we are kind of on our way. I hope the police find something. They’re checking out the location you got that text about. The Havenhurst Psychiatric Clinic. What is this place, Nick? An abandoned medical facility? How does it tie into whatever’s going on

with Phyllis and Sharon?

I don’t know. But with my online research, it certainly seems like it’s been shut down for quite a while. I called Phyllis’s phone at least a dozen times. That message never came through until today. So, what’s going on? Chance’s team is looking into it. And we just wait? You know, I can click this link right now, and we can find out for ourselves. Don’t do it, all right? It could be a trap. Hmm. Good luck. JACK: Is this really happening? You and Alan are getting married? I don’t know. I think so. My head is spinning. Is this real? Am I here right now? Oh, I think it is. Tell me what you’re feeling. I never thought I was gonna get married again. And I was fine with that. I mean, I have a wonderful life. I love it. But finding Alan has just been this amazing bonus. I never thought I would find someone like him. He’s generous and he’s kind. And he’s someone who’s worthy of you. And he adores you. Well, he’s pretty wonderful. I’m so lucky to have found him. No, he’s the lucky one. Never forget that. [cell phone pings] Oh! Oh, let me guess. Your fiancé. [laughs] He’s on his way back. All right, well, we better get out of here. Yeah, we’ll make ourselves scarce. In the meantime, I could not be happier for you.

Thank you so much.

Me, too. Thank you so much, both of you.

I love you.

Oh, Jack. I love you, too. And nobody cry. ‘Cause, look, I’ll never stop.

We’ll try.

Oh! [laughing] PHYLLIS: Oh, damn it. I… Try again. Try again. All right. Yeah, yeah. Oh. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Get us out of here. Come on. I realize it could be a trap, Nick. That’s why I didn’t do it in the first place. But what are we gonna do, sit here and do nothing? This is the best lead we have. Come on, man. My phone’s backed up. I can delete anything that might be compromised or used against us in any sort of way. Okay, I’m sold. Let’s give it a shot. I need to find out what’s on this link, okay? Whatever happens, we’re gonna find out some information, and we’ll just–we’ll take whatever comes next. Yeah? If you’re in, I’m in. This could be our best chance to locate Sharon and Phyllis. Okay. I’m on it.

Darling.

Oh, I’m sorry, sir. I was waiting for my fiancé. [chuckles] Have I been too long? No. No. Just long enough to help me have the time to set a few things up. Well, the place looks beautiful. Although you should not have done anything. Oh, no, it was my pleasure to set the stage.

Can I take over now?

Yes, please. Well, I would like to make a little toast, if you’ll indulge me. [Traci chuckles]

Here’s one for you.

Thank you.

And one for me.

[chuckles] Now… I don’t think you realize how incredible you are. Not-Not really. And I just want to say how grateful I am that every day I get to see that. You’ve changed me. I’m a better man because of you. Traci, I just cannot imagine living the rest of my life without you. Okay, you gotta turn it the other way, Sharon. I tried that, Phyllis. It didn’t work. All right. But-But it’s not– You know, it’s not in. It’s not in all the way. Okay, because you’re such an expert at lock picking. Okay, do you want to compare our history of criminal expertise, ’cause we could definitely do that. You know what? We said we wouldn’t do this. We can’t turn on each other.

Right. Right.

All right. Phyllis, it appears that I may be doing something wrong. Would you like another try? I’d love it. Thank you for the opportunity. Yes.

Sure. Yeah.

Right. Here. There you go. Okay, I have to…

[rattling]

Um… Can you–Can–Can you– You’re in my light. You’re in my light.

Yeah, of course. Of course.

Yeah. You’re breathing on me right now. Try going diagonal. We went diagonal the last three times, and it didn’t work, remember?

Okay. It’s just a suggestion.

Okay. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, I have a– I think I got it. Okay? This should open.

This should open.

[alarm blaring] [blaring continues] Living with Chelsea and Connor, the three of us under the same roof, has been so much better. Connor has access to both of his parents. He knew that having Chelsea and me together would be the best thing for him. Well, he knew what he wanted. He asked for it. Well, he’s a very smart kid. Yeah. Well, I’m not only happy for Connor, but, um, you seem happy as well. And I have a suspicion that it has something to do with Chelsea, right? We have gotten closer. The connection we once had seems to have returned. I, uh, didn’t know if that was possible. Having a child, Son, is very binding, you know. She remembers the good times that we had. I think she sees that it’s possible to have that again. Makes me happy to hear that. You deserve some happiness. I’ve seen a whole new side to Adam since Connor was diagnosed with his OCD. He’s steadfast and willing to do anything for his son and for me. Well, he should. I think you both deserve that. And I know that he loves Connor. He does. And he’s such a good dad. And going through this together has made us stronger. We could have turned our backs on one another or played the blame game.

But you didn’t.

No, we didn’t. And I’m starting to realize that maybe Baltimore was more than just a moment of desperation. Adam’s become so much more understanding and less selfish, more than I’ve ever seen. And it’s made me see him differently. As a potential partner again? I’m not there yet. But you think it’s a possibility. Look, Chloe, I know how you feel about Adam. I know that you think he’s bad news and he’s never gonna change.

Chelsea–

And you have all your reasons for not liking him, and they are valid reasons, so…let me have it. Tell me this is a terrible idea. I can take it. Well, actually, what I was going to say was… I’m really happy for you, Chelsea.

You’re staring.

Oh, and I’m so sorry.

You don’t look sorry.

I’m not sorry. I’m just sitting here thinking how lucky I am to have met you. You know, my brother was just telling me that– how lucky you are to have met me. Right after I told him how grateful I am to have found you. Well, then, let’s make it official. I got a little something here. Mm-hmm. All right, you ready? Here goes. [gasps]

You like it?

It’s gorgeous. You sure? I could get a bigger diamond. Oh, no, no, no, no. It’s perf–It’s perfect. Just like you. It’s beautiful. I want to do this right, okay?

[Traci chuckles]

[clears throat] Now, before, I blew the surprise and jumped the gun, and so this time, I’m just going to keep it short and sweet. I love you. You’re everything to me. Traci Abbott, will you marry me? Nothing would make me happier. Is that a yes?

[both chuckle]

That’s a yes. Oh, good. Here you go. Now, I hope it fits. If it’s too large, we can resize it or whatever. Don’t even worry about it. We have all the time in the world now. Alan Laurent, thank you for all of the magic you brought to my life. [chuckles] Okay, we get it! Turn off the alarm, please! Turn off the alarm! [alarm blaring] [blaring stops] Damn it. What do we do now? Okay, well, we can’t give up. There has got to be another way. There’s not. There’s no other way. The windows have bars on them. They won’t open. That has an alarm on it. The door won’t open. We’re stuck here. Until someone finds us. Someone will get us out. No, they won’t. How do they know to even track us here? Our families will look for us. They will find us. They will not! They will not! It’d be a miracle if they did. We’re in some random clinic. How would they even find us? I don’t know, Phyllis. I don’t know. You tell me honestly. Would one of our family members even get here, let alone find us here… before it’s too late? We have some new leads, but we haven’t found her yet. But we and the police are doing everything we can to find your mother, Faith. I promise you that. We’re gonna bring her home. Yes. Now, listen, I really have to go, but I will, of course, call you if we learn anything new, okay? Okay. I love you, baby girl. Bye.

How’s it going?

Just about there. This needs to work, man. We need a win, like now. Okay.

You ready?

Yes. What the hell? Well, it seems that everything in your life is falling into place. And I think that’s the result of your efforts in regard to business and your family. Well, that is high praise coming from you. Well, I gotta tell you, I really admire the way you jump right back into the saddle at Newman Media as if you had never left. Well, Newman Media has always felt like my domain. I built it from the ground up. You did indeed. You know, Adam, what I am beginning to admire the most is how you deal with Chelsea and Connor as a father. I mean, you helped him through his OCD. Thank you, Dad. I appreciate the compliment. I don’t take anything you said for granted. Well, I mean every word of it. Now, part of me just wants to make you proud, earn your support a little more each day. If I could manage to live up to your legacy, that would be all I could hope for. I appreciate that. Yeah. More than you realize. I don’t take that for granted either. So I will always support you. And I gotta tell you, I will also support Chelsea. I admire the fact that she has come back from all the turmoil she has gone through. She has almost reinvented herself, you know? So…she’s welcome in my family. She’ll appreciate that. Now, where do you go from here? Wow. Traci looked overjoyed. Traci hasn’t been this happy in a very long time. It’s like a spark’s been lit inside of her, and Alan did that. Kind of like when we first found each other, the joy you brought into my life. Aw. Well, I hope they have as wonderful a life together as we do. I have to admit, when Tracy said she thought she’d be single for the rest of her life, I realized I thought the same thing. Not because she doesn’t deserve to have somebody in her life. No, but because no one is good enough for your little sister. Funny, isn’t it? How when you stop looking, sometimes the right person just walks right into your life. Sounds like Tracy has found her perfect match as well. Counting the carats? Oh! No. I’m admiring it in the light. I think we should talk wedding. We–We just got engaged. Shouldn’t we savor the moment? I can’t help that I’m greedy. I want you to be my wife.

When can we get married?

I suppose anytime we want to. Yeah? What do you think? Are you thinking something grand and lavish? I was thinking simple and quaint. I just want to be your wife. That’s all that matters to me. That’s why I want to be your husband. Well, then maybe– Maybe you’re right. We shouldn’t wait very long, because nothing would make me happier than for us to start our life together as a married couple. [chuckles] Our future is going to be so bright. It’s going to be breathtaking. Believe me. You’re right. I have no idea how anybody would be able to track us here, but I have to believe that our families would do everything they can to find out where we are. No. No. There’s no guarantee of that, Sharon. Are you really gonna do that? Are you gonna let whoever did this win? No. No. All right. So we don’t wallow. Yeah, we don’t wallow. There’s not a chance of that. [sighs] There’s still no way out. Whoever is doing this, the Voice, they are playing with us. We have to win at their own game. They like riddles, don’t they? “I mark my time in blood, sweat, and tears.” This is the last clue. But where did that card come from? That wasn’t here yesterday. My God, you ingested something last night that made your heart stop. That was part of the plan. And then this card appeared overnight. Sharon, our captor is coming in here overnight while we sleep. BILLY: Do you think this is real? I don’t know why it wouldn’t be. Okay, if this–if this is, this confirms that Phyllis and Sharon are being held hostage in the facility. Can you zoom in, just see if they’re okay? I mean, they look fine physically, but… Okay, let’s go. No. Wait. Hold up. Hold up. What do you mean? We know where they are. We don’t know what this is. This could be, like, the first step in, like, a ransom demand. They already shared their location, Nick. We can go to them now. We can help. Okay, but it doesn’t make any sense. Why would they take them in the first place and then show us exactly where Sharon and Phyllis are? [sighs] Are you okay? Do you need medical attention? Look, I have learned that it is pointless to warn anyone against getting involved with anyone else. It didn’t work for Sally. It didn’t work for you. And, hell, I’m pretty sure it never worked when someone else warned me when past relationships of mine were headed for disaster. Is that what you think? This is headed for disaster? Look, I am never going to be Adam’s biggest fan, but I was very impressed with how he handled everything with Connor. I didn’t think he had it in him. Neither did I. And Connor needs both of you, maybe now more than ever. And you are his strength. And maybe you and Adam are stronger together. Yeah, I hadn’t thought about it that way. Well, you know, I’m kind of a genius. You’re so wise. But, honestly, if Adam is what you want, then go out and get him. I mean, you deserve some joy in your life, right? I mean–I mean, we all do, but… I know you, and I trust you. And whatever happens, I know that you’re gonna make the right decision for yourself. Oh, I am so relieved to hear you say that. I was so scared to tell you. Adam’s the only person that I’ve discussed this with. Well, he’s not exactly impartial. Well, I don’t think you are either. Well, because I’m not. But my love for you is always gonna win out. And I’m gonna support you no matter what. Thank you for saying that, because I am really happy. [sighs] Am I crazy to think Adam and I can maybe really make it work this time? Why not? What could be better for the three of you? Well, I’ve told Chelsea how I feel. I told her that I want to be a couple and a family again with Connor. You know? She–She knows that. Well, that’s a good start. Yeah. But I’m not gonna pressure her. I don’t want to scare her off. I already got her to agree to live with me and have dinner, so she now seems open to the possibility for us to be an us again. How nice. Right now, that’s all I can hope for. Absolutely agree. So what happens next is up to her. It has to be. Just know I will always support the two of you, okay, and support Chelsea. I admire what she has gone through in her life and how she has found herself. I’m glad. And I’m grateful that you see Chelsea in a new light. You know, she didn’t know how you would feel about her moving onto the ranch. Oh. Well, I guess I can be intimidating sometimes. Hmm. You think? [Victor chuckles] You know, I am who I am, and, um, I speak my mind, Son. That’ll never change. Just know that I will always be here to support the two of you, all right? Thank you. It’s nice to be so aligned with you. That hasn’t always been the case with us. And especially after everything that happened, I’m just–I’m really grateful. You know… I’m very happy to hear that. Adam, you’ve gone through difficult times. But…we’re here now. You’re part of the family again. And I really appreciate what you have said, all right? Thanks, Dad. Oh, my God. This sick freak is coming in here at night while we’re sleeping, planting these clues for some demented scavenger hunt, clues for us to find. We knew that we were being watched. We knew that they could see what we were doing. Oh, God. What were they doing, like sitting in this chair, watching us sleep? Watching us drool? Listening to you snore? Watching us like little babies? My God, we’re at their mercy. To know that this creep waited until we were asleep, waited until it was safe to come in. What if we had woken up while they were here? We’d probably be dead. Or, you know, if they’re coming in here at night, that gives us an opportunity. Yeah. An opportunity to catch them in the act. We would have to take turns sleeping, and one of us would have to be on alert all the time. Yeah. Pretending to be asleep, right? It’s a risk. We don’t know how often this person is watching us, so we’d have to be very clever about it. Mm-hmm. I have another idea. There is another option. Nick, I think I got something else here. There’s a link at the bottom of the picture. Should I– Yeah, just do it. “Who will pay the price to save the life of the mind?” What kind of psychopath are we dealing with? Oh. Hey. I’m sorry for interrupting. No. It’s, uh–It’s all right. We were just catching up. Sounds nice. Hi, Chloe. Hello, Adam. Um, you know what? I should actually get going.

The office awaits.

Oh, I will meet you there. I have to take care of some things here. Yeah, you should. Um, but thank you for the hospitality, madam. Such a good mistress of the ranch. Adam, I wish you well. Thank you. You, too. I thought you went to the office. I, uh, went to see my dad actually. I wanted to check on him, see how he’s doing. Is he all right? He is a force of nature.

He sends his regards.

Hmm. Did you have a nice visit with Chloe? Yeah, I did. She was very…helpful. Is it presumptuous to assume that you were talking about me?

Maybe.

[sighs] She told you to stay away from me, didn’t she? “Pack your bags and run as fast as you can.” What do you think that message meant? “Who will pay the price to save the life of the mind?” I don’t know. It could be a taunt. Maybe they’re trying to throw us off. I mean, whoever’s behind this is not concerned about a ransom. They want us to try to rescue Phyllis and Sharon. Ah. I think there’s more to it than that. I mean, they took ’em to a psychiatric ward. Do you think that’s what they’re referring to when they say “the life of the mind”? Psych wards are where psychopaths live, Nick. One who’s savvy enough to put this whole thing in motion? Look, they want us to go find them there, okay? I can’t imagine it’s gonna be easy to get into the building once we get there, so… So we’re back to thinking this could be a trap. I don’t know. You think it’s time to call Chance, let him know what’s going on? Yeah. I’ll call him. [sighs] You know, the more I think about it, the more I think you deserve a big fairy-tale wedding. No. I have you, my prince. That’s all I need. What did I do to deserve you? [cell phone pings] Your phone. It keeps going off. Don’t you want to check it? There has to be a camera here somewhere. We find it. We find the camera, and we turn it off. And then this sick freak has to make an appearance. Would they really care, though? They can’t see us. No. This sicko likes control. They like to witness their experiment in real time. Okay, but if we… If we challenge them like that, they could retaliate. They could leave us here to starve and die, to turn on each other or kill each other even. Sharon, if we play by the rules, we will stay here forever. We cannot be obedient, Sharon. We can’t. We also have to be smart. This is smart. They have nothing if we’re dead. Don’t you understand? This is a sport for them. They like watching us survive. This is entertainment, how we survive. You get that, right? That’s what all these sick games have been about. So, what did Chloe say this time? The usual? I’m the devil. She said if I want you back, then I have her support. [scoffs]

You’re kidding.

I’m not kidding. Chloe blesses our reunion. Is that what this is? Hmm? A reunion? Maybe. Don’t blow it. Never. I cannot wait for Ashley and Billy to find out. They are gonna be over the moon. Especially Ashley. We owe Alan a lot. Yes, we do. You know, he fits right in. It’ll be an honor to welcome him into the Abbott family. And I don’t think Traci could have written a better love story. And this is just the beginning for her and Alan. Let’s drink to them. I’m sure it’s nothing. Well, don’t you even want to look at it? Are you curious? Well, at the moment, no, I’m not. But that’s a lot of pings. I just thought maybe it was important. Nothing is more important than you and this moment with my future bride. Okay, thanks, Chance. Keep us posted, yeah? Okay. Police are on the way to the clinic, and they will proceed with caution. Yeah. I’ll update my dad’s security team once we get there. I noticed you didn’t tell Chance we were on the way there. What are we gonna do, turn around? Let them scope out the place first? No way. Now that we know it’s likely that Sharon and Phyllis are there, I’m not wasting any more time. And if they are, we’re going in to get them. So, the Voice has pushed us to relive our past. Repeatedly put our lives at risk so we had to save each other. See, they did that for their own amusement. We’re like lab rats. You said so yourself. Yeah, if they can’t study us and our behavior, it defeats the purpose. It ruins the psychological study. So we have to destroy the world that they created for us… and turn off the camera. We will find the camera, and we will turn it off. Okay? And lure them here. At least we’d know who we’re dealing with. So we have to come together. Okay? Together, we will bring this freak down. Okay? We’ll get out of here. We will get out of here.
