I understand this meeting has to do with the case against your client, Naya Benedict.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Yes. We have some crucial new information &#8212; a recording of Sutton Ames revealing that he is responsible for the death of Richard Nealon.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: So Naya falsely confessed to a murder?<\/p>\n<p>Imani: I&#8217;m afraid so.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: It will all become clear when you listen to this. Hear the whole story from our grandfather&#8217;s own lips.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Hold on. &#8220;Our&#8221; grandfather? You&#8217;re sisters?<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: So you were your grandfather&#8217;s lawyer, and now you&#8217;re representing your mother, who is trying to prevent her father from going to prison. Have I got that right?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: You are 100% correct. Now, you always wondered why I, of all people, was asked to head up Sutton&#8217;s legal team and why I took on Naya&#8217;s case, given my lack of experience in criminal law. They&#8217;re the family that I never knew that I had, until recently. And now I am also aware that because of Sutton&#8217;s callous indifference and need for control, Hilary and I were forced to grow up without our father, Richard Nealon.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Dear god.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: But the secrets and lies stop now.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Tessa: Hey, Abby. Is everything alright?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I haven&#8217;t been sleeping well. I was doing some work, and, well, I nodded off and I had a terrible dream.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: What was it about?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I was up high on this bluff. I was with you and Nina, and I looked down and Mariah was in a field. I couldn&#8217;t see her face, and she was running, but we couldn&#8217;t get to her. We kept calling her name, we screaming after her, telling her, &#8220;don&#8217;t leave.&#8221; It was just so vivid.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: We&#8217;re all exhausted and stressed to the max since Mariah&#8217;s been gone. I mean, no wonder you&#8217;re having bad dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I think it&#8217;s more than just stress.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Okay, what do you mean?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: As soon as I woke up, I had an epiphany. I&#8217;m starting to worry again that there is something seriously wrong with this whole Mariah situation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nate: Hey, Faith. What are you looking at so intently?<\/p>\n<p>Faith: My summer reading assignment.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Oh, I hope you&#8217;re enjoying it.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: Yeah, this book&#8217;s not half bad. As far as homework goes, this is as good as it gets.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Uh, you haven&#8217;t seen Elena by any chance? We were supposed to meet up.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: She was here, but she had to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Oh.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone chimes ]<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Ooh. Ooh, mystery solved. She was called in to work at the last minute.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: Did you two have a date?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: No, not really. We just, you know, wanted to grab some time with each other.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: Same with Moses and me. I was thinking he might drop by. Not that we&#8217;re dating or anything.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Of course not.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: But he shows up sometimes because he knows I&#8217;m here a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I haven&#8217;t seen my cousin and I don&#8217;t know his plans. But I doubt Moses would miss an opportunity to spend time with you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Moses: Things are way better between Faith and me.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Oh, yeah? So Lily gave you some good advice, then.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: She did, yeah. We&#8217;re taking things slow, but at least now I know I won&#8217;t be stuck in the friend zone forever.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: So is this why you wanted my help? Is this about Faith?<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Yeah. I want to do something nice for her. Show her how much I like her without all that pressure. Lily told me that&#8217;s what girls like.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: She&#8217;s right. But there&#8217;s plenty of things you could do to show Faith you care without being over the top. Where do I come into play?<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Well, Faith&#8217;s favorite band is TigirLily. I mean, she lights up whenever she hears any of their songs, and they&#8217;re headlining the New Hope charity event concert in the park this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I think I know where this is going.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: I figured you might. You said at breakfast that they&#8217;re in town already and that you&#8217;re having to meet with them later today.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Uh-huh. And I assume that Faith is gonna be at the concert &#8217;cause Nick is one of the organizers.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Yeah, she wouldn&#8217;t miss it. But I was hoping you could make it even more special for her.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: More special. Well, how about &#8212; how about two backstage passes?<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Really?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah, it&#8217;s done.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: [ Chuckles ] Thanks, man. You&#8217;re the best ever. Seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Well, I try.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Now let&#8217;s see if you can top yourself. I have one more favor to ask of you.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Alright, keep talking.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: Well, that was quite something.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Now, I&#8217;m aware that it is not a confession and it may not be admissible in court, but I believe that it opens your mind up to the possibility that Naya is not guilty.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Alright, I&#8217;m listening.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: This recording of Sutton makes it clear that he killed my father for one reason &#8212; to make sure the story of his illegitimate grandkids did not come to light, so he cared more about his reputation and his political power than he did his own family.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Well&#8230;what he said about Richard Nealon made my blood run cold. I can&#8217;t imagine how you felt. You have my sympathy.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: What you&#8217;ve both gone through, handling his case and now Naya&#8217;s &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Yeah, it has been a journey. But for all the moments of shock and pain, there&#8217;s also been some moments of positivity. I met my sister and my mother, and I&#8217;ve learned to lean on the people closest to me for support. I even found support in some unexpected places. [ Chuckles ] Victor Newman himself.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: [ Laughs ] Well, nobody can push someone&#8217;s buttons quite like he can.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Imani: I got a real education watching the man.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Yeah. Do you really think Sutton forced his own daughter to take the rap for him?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Perhaps. Or maybe he convinced her that I could have gotten her a lighter sentence than he would have received.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Not much comfort when she&#8217;d be doing the time, though.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Okay. I want to see justice done. When can you bring Naya to my office so that we can speak directly? So I can get my facts straight.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Michael: Obviously, the police and I are gonna want to talk to Naya as soon as possible. Is there a problem?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: I wish I could accommodate you. I desperately want this resolved, but we are gonna need some time.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Why?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: It is a gut-wrenching situation. Naya was willing to sacrifice herself for Sutton. To get her to recant, it&#8217;s gonna take some convincing.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Well, luckily, I mean, for you at least, I happen to be well versed in complicated family dynamics involving criminal activity.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Oh, something you studied in school?<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Sadly, no. Personal experience.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: So you can understand why we can&#8217;t push our mother too much. But if all goes well, I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;ll be able to meet with you in a day or two.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Hmm, I can live with that. I want to make sure the right person is prosecuted.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: So do we.<\/p>\n<p>Michael: Alright. Look, I will issue a warrant for Sutton&#8217;s arrest. I will do what I can to prevent him from leaving the country, but I don&#8217;t have to tell you that this whole thing will work more smoothly when Naya comes clean.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: I&#8217;m gonna make sure that happens.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Faith: Taking off?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Yep. Listen, if I run into my cousin, I will let him know you wouldn&#8217;t mind taking a break from your reading.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone chimes ]<\/p>\n<p>Faith: [ Chuckles ] Thanks, but you don&#8217;t have to.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Is that Moses?<\/p>\n<p>Faith: [ Chuckles ] On his way.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: You two have fun.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Moses: She&#8217;s at the coffee house now, so I&#8217;m gonna head over there.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Alright, I will handle everything else.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: This is gonna be amazing. Seriously, thank you. You&#8217;re the best big brother ever.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I know this. See you, man.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Tessa: You&#8217;re freaking me out a little. I thought that we had all agreed that once Mariah sent those texts, that we could stop worrying why she&#8217;s been gone for so long.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Have you?<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Honestly? No.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I&#8217;ve tried.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, after I had that awful dream, I went back and I reread all of the texts that Mariah has sent me. Remember when she sent that one, she was joking about how she was doing and she said, &#8220;Your child isn&#8217;t giving me too much grief yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah, and?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Okay, when has Mariah ever referred to the baby as &#8220;your child&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Never. It&#8217;s always been &#8220;our child,&#8221; &#8220;our baby,&#8221; &#8217;cause, you know, group effort.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Yeah, so why the sudden change? Why now?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I think you&#8217;re reading a lot into just a turn of phrase. It might just be Mariah&#8217;s needing to, you know, back off a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: No. Abby&#8217;s right. It is strange. Something feels off to me, even if Mariah hasn&#8217;t come out and said it.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Maybe she&#8217;s having second thoughts about being a surrogate. Maybe she&#8217;s starting to rethink everything. Maybe she regrets it.<\/p>\n<p>[ Doorbell rings ]<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I&#8217;ll get it.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: If it helps, she&#8217;s never said anything like that to me.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Or me. I don&#8217;t know. Hey, maybe Nina&#8217;s right. Maybe I&#8217;m overreacting.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Or maybe you&#8217;re not.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Look who I found on the doorstep.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Ben. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: This a bad time?<\/p>\n<p>Nina: No, I think you&#8217;re here at exactly the right time. Aw, c&#8217;mon flowers.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Moses: So you&#8217;re gonna finish your summer reading two months early, and then what?<\/p>\n<p>Faith: I&#8217;ll have to find other ways to amuse myself.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Okay, well, I think it&#8217;s time for you to put the tablet away and kick back.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: Totally. Why don&#8217;t we get out of here, grab some sun?<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Actually, you know what? You mind if we eat something first? I haven&#8217;t had lunch yet.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: Sure. Want me to make you a sandwich? I know where my mom keeps the good &#8212; no way. Look who your brother&#8217;s with.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Whoa, isn&#8217;t that Kendra and Krista from TigirLily?<\/p>\n<p>Faith: Oh, my god, it is. Only my favorite band in the entire universe. Devon knows them?<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Yeah, he&#8217;s a music producer. He knows all the big names.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: [ Exhales sharply ]<\/p>\n<p>Moses: You know what? You want me to see if he&#8217;ll introduce you?<\/p>\n<p>Faith: Are you serious? Yes!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Stitch: I understand why you&#8217;d feel disconcerted.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: So do I. But why don&#8217;t we all just take a breath and think through this some more?<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Mariah&#8217;s texts made it clear that she was done with us hovering. But from everything that I&#8217;ve seen, she&#8217;s been nothing but thrilled to be carrying this baby for you and chance. I don&#8217;t know, I just think it&#8217;s easy for us to be feeding off of one another&#8217;s worry, and that&#8217;s not the best way to go about this.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Remember the last time we started to spin out about this, and I said that our mind fills in the blanks when we don&#8217;t have all the pieces to the puzzle? Maybe we&#8217;re jumping to conclusions, and things seem right when they actually aren&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Yeah, I think that&#8217;s very true.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: And yet&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Abby: What?<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: Given what you&#8217;ve told me about how Mariah expresses herself, I agree. The language from the text is odd. &#8220;Your child&#8221;? I mean, it implies she suddenly feels disconnected from the baby.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Yes, exactly.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Okay, I&#8217;m not trying to over-think this, but maybe Mariah&#8217;s message, maybe it was her subconscious. I mean, maybe she was revealing more than she meant to. I mean, maybe all of this is just too much for her.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Imani: Sorry if I made Michael suspicious. I was freaking out when he asked to see Mom, since we have no clue where she is right now. But you handled it perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Naya still hasn&#8217;t responded to my texts.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Mine either. Or my father&#8217;s. He promised he would let me know if he heard from her.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: We need to find her before the authorities realize that she&#8217;s missing and before Sutton gets to her, before he manipulates her like he usually does, get her to stick to her statement.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Even though I know my grandfather is guilty and I despise him for what he did, a part of me still can&#8217;t believe how this all played out. I can&#8217;t get over how he convinced our mother, who was fragile to begin with, to take the fall for him, to sacrifice her whole future. Makes me sick.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: I&#8217;m sorry. You know, as intense as this has been for me, I can&#8217;t even imagine what you are experiencing. You know, the family that you&#8217;ve known and loved your entire life just falling apart this way.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: I had an incredible childhood. Filled with love and support. But no one ever made me feel as special as my grandfather did. Whatever goal I set for myself, that man was my biggest cheerleader, encouraging me every step of the way. It&#8217;s not like I thought he was a saint. Sutton expected perfection from everyone around him, and if you disappointed him, he could cut you down with just a look, make you feel terrible for days afterward.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: I was on the receiving end of several of those looks.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: He demanded loyalty. My grandfather was controlling and self-serving, and his career always came first. Still, it&#8217;s hard for me to accept that he&#8217;s the same vicious man in that recording, that arranged to have someone killed, and then justified it. Rationalized it, saying he had no choice and it was &#8220;for the best.&#8221; Hearing him say those words, it just &#8212; it made it all real. [ Sighs ] I don&#8217;t know what my next step is, but I know this part of my life is over. Even if Sutton figures out a way to save himself &#8212; and make no mistake, he could &#8212; I can&#8217;t keep working for him. I don&#8217;t want my name being associated with his ever again.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Sutton will pay for what he&#8217;s done. I will not rest until that happens. And I believe that you will wind up on your feet.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Damn right. It&#8217;s just a question of where I&#8217;ll land.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Well, I might be able to help you with that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Faith: This is so cool. I discovered TigirLily a few months back when I was going through a rough time, and your lyrics really spoke to me, especially &#8220;somebody does.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kendra: That is the best compliment you can give to an artist.<\/p>\n<p>Krista: We love hearing that our songs mean as much to our fans as they do to us.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: Would the two of you mind taking a picture with me? So I have proof that this actually happened and that I didn&#8217;t just dream it.<\/p>\n<p>Krista: We&#8217;d be happy to. Get over here.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Here, I&#8217;ll take it.<\/p>\n<p>Kendra: Alright, get in here.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: You know how to work that thing?<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Yes, sir. Alright, &#8220;TigirLily&#8221; on three.<\/p>\n<p>Krista: Let&#8217;s do it.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: One, two, three. TigirLily!<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Nice.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: Awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Looks great, you guys.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: Thank you so much.<\/p>\n<p>Kendra: Of course.<\/p>\n<p>Krista: We&#8217;ll be performing at the fundraiser this weekend. Will you be there?<\/p>\n<p>Faith: Absolutely. My dad is Nick Newman. He runs New oHpe.<\/p>\n<p>Kendra: Why don&#8217;t the two of you watch from backstage as our guests?<\/p>\n<p>Faith: That would be so amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Yeah, two yeses.<\/p>\n<p>Kendra: Awesome. In the meantime, would you like to hear a preview of one of our new songs?<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: Oh, my god, yes.<\/p>\n<p>Kendra: Alright, this is called &#8220;dig yourself.&#8221; <em>I know you really dig yourself think the world would end without you baby, don&#8217;t you kid yourself not everything&#8217;s always about you if you could, you&#8217;d probably kiss yourself you&#8217;re the star of your own show I know you really dig yourself so much why don&#8217;t you dig yourself a hole? You can go all the way to China but I don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;ll ever find you someone who loves you as much as you <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Devon: Whoo!<\/p>\n<p>Faith: I love it!<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Me too, me too. I can&#8217;t wait to hear the rest of it.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Well, hey, we were just passing through, grabbing some coffee on the way to the studio, so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Faith: You&#8217;re busy. I get it.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: But I will see you on Saturday?<\/p>\n<p>Kendra: Looking forward to it.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Awesome.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Amanda: I&#8217;ve been thinking about starting my own law practice &#8212; the Sinclair Firm. But &#8220;Sinclair &amp; Benedict&#8221; has a nice ring to it.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: [ Scoffs ] Wait, are you saying &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: You can take the bar exam &#8212; finally &#8212; get your license and we can be partners.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: You&#8217;d really want us to work together?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: I&#8217;m so happy that I found you, Imani. I never would have pictured myself saying that months ago.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, that restraining order. Oh, god, I cringe every time I think about it.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Yeah, me too. But we&#8217;ve really come so far. We became allies. Along the way, you know, you became a friend and now&#8230; you really feel like my sister.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Now here you are, getting all mushy over a job offer.<\/p>\n<p>[ Both laugh ]<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Okay, um, alright, I&#8217;m sorry about that. Um, alright, how about this? I think we&#8217;ll make a pretty good team.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Agreed. Can I think it over before I give you an answer?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Yeah, no, of course. Take all the time you need.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Stitch: Like you said, Abby, it&#8217;s tempting to over-analyze these things. And I understand why you&#8217;re concerned, but there&#8217;s probably no reason to be worried.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: If Mariah were in trouble, I would hope that she would reach out to me directly.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: People don&#8217;t always know how to do that, though, when they&#8217;re feeling emotional or overwhelmed. And Mariah, she is so independent. You know that. I&#8217;m not saying that something terrible has happened, but I just &#8212; I wish that we could talk to her and ask her how she&#8217;s feeling. And if she&#8217;s struggling, I wish that Tessa would be able to go to her and help her, support her.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: You have no idea how much I want to do that. But she&#8217;s not taking my calls. Plus, her location services is off on her phone.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: There might be a way to trace her location from her texts. A specialized app or something. I know you don&#8217;t want to hassle the woman or crowd her, but if you want, I can look into it.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Oh, my god, yes, please.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: We wouldn&#8217;t necessarily have to do anything with the information. It would just give us some peace of mind.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Hold on, we need to talk about this and think about it long and hard. Okay, Mariah wrote that she will be back before her next doctor&#8217;s appointment. That&#8217;s in one week, and she said she didn&#8217;t want to be smothered.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: You&#8217;re right, she did.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: If Mariah really does just need her space, she&#8217;s gonna resent us for not giving it to her. Are we absolutely sure we want to do this? Doing it yourself<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: So, we&#8217;re all agreed? We&#8217;re gonna wait until the next time we hear from Mariah, see how we feel then, take it from there.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: I&#8217;ll do my best.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: So will I.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: It&#8217;s unanimous.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: If you change your minds, offer stands.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, now that we have bombarded you with our collective anxiety, is there a reason why you stopped by?<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: I have some news. I&#8217;m finally heading back to Iowa.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Yeah. I guess this was just a visit. You had to head home sometime.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: Only short term. My real news &#8212; I&#8217;ve decided to take the job at Memorial. Chief of surgery. I&#8217;ll be moving back to Genoa City.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Ben, oh, my gosh! I&#8217;m thrilled. I had no idea they made you a formal offer.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: Sounds like a really sweet gig.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: I think it will be.<\/p>\n<p>Nina: From what I&#8217;ve heard of your surgical skills, Memorial&#8217;s happy to have you, surely.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: That&#8217;s very kind.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: How long will you be away?<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: A few days. Just long enough to pack my bags and check in on Max.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: You&#8217;re gonna keep him where he is?<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: He&#8217;s used to his doctors and routine at his facility. I &#8212; I don&#8217;t want to uproot him. I feel like that&#8217;d be too traumatic.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Oh, that&#8217;s gonna be hard for you, though.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: It will, but it&#8217;s what&#8217;s right for Max. You know, and I can visit. It&#8217;s not that long of a drive.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, if there&#8217;s anything I can do to help this transition go smoothly, just say the word.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: I appreciate that. Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, you&#8217;ve been so helpful. It&#8217;s the least I can do.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: I will need to find a place to live.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Great! Let&#8217;s go house hunting. I can call my realtor and have her set up some showings for when you get back.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: There are a couple of furnished places I was gonna check out today before I got on the road. I know it&#8217;s short notice, but if you have time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Nina: Her answer is yes. Yes! You need a distraction, and one just presented itself. Go.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, when you put it that way [Chuckles] Let&#8217;s do this.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Faith: I love this picture. I know I keep saying that. Sick of hearing it yet?<\/p>\n<p>Moses: [ Chuckles ] No.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: I&#8217;m totally posting this and making it the wallpaper of my phone and my laptop and maybe even my room. Kidding. Sort of.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Nah, do whatever you want with it.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: I&#8217;m still in awe that I got to meet them. Backstage passes &#8212; can you believe it? Wait, what are the odds that your brother would walk in with&#8230; wait a second. That wasn&#8217;t a coincidence, was it? You set the whole thing up! [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Devon: Hey. How&#8217;d everything go with Michael?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: After I played him the recording of Sutton, he responded exactly as I&#8217;d hoped.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: It seems like he&#8217;s willing to work with us.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Yes, which clears a major hurdle. So as soon as Naya recants her phony confession, Michael can push for an investigation into Sutton.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: That&#8217;s the best possible outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: It would be, except Naya&#8217;s disappearing act. I can&#8217;t believe that we haven&#8217;t heard from her.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: This isn&#8217;t like her. I have to believe that she&#8217;ll reach out soon, if only to let us know that she&#8217;s okay.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: I really hope so, because we are, you know, hitting a deadline here.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Have you guys heard from Sutton since his meeting with Victor?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Not a peep.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: That means he&#8217;s off licking his wounds somewhere, plotting a strategy to save himself.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Yeah, he&#8217;s probably cursing the day that I showed up on Naya&#8217;s doorstep, blaming me for ruining his life.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: No, Sutton ruined his own life the day he decided that your father was expendable, his granddaughters didn&#8217;t belong in their own family.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Sutton would never see it that way, guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Nah, he&#8217;s gonna definitely fight back, and he&#8217;ll probably fight dirty, too.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: He will, and I&#8217;ll be ready.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Stitch: Okay, so you don&#8217;t think that was too impulsive?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Are you kidding me? You could look for a whole week and not find a more gorgeous apartment.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: Well, I&#8217;m glad you like it.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Yeah, it is fully furnished, right down to the pots and pans, so when you get back from Iowa, all you have to do is move in.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: I&#8217;ll have to learn the neighborhood, find the grocery store, best places for takeout. I already know of a dry cleaner&#8217;s right near the hospital, so at least that&#8217;s taken care of, right?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Are you talking about that little strip mall on Oak Street?<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: That&#8217;s the one.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Yeah, that is now a parking garage for the new oncology wing.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: No! Don&#8217;t &#8212; my favorite Thai place is right next to the cleaner&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: You&#8217;ll just have to find a new favorite place to eat shrimp pad Thai. Or you could eat at Society a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: Well, there&#8217;s a thought. I just happen to know the owner.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Mm. Do you now?<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: You sure have gone from knowing all the best restaurants to owning the best of the best. It&#8217;s pretty cool.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Having endured my cooking, I think you should know that I went into business just so I could eat out a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: Don&#8217;t sell yourself short.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I never do. [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: This has &#8212; this has been great. Uh&#8230;thanks for helping me find a place to crash. I hope I haven&#8217;t monopolized your day too badly.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Seriously? Apartment hunting &#8212; how could that be anything but fun for me?<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: I guess it is a form of shopping.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Oh, yeah. [ Laughs ] Real-estate therapy. I should be thanking you.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: Worked out for both of us.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: You know, this is the most normal I&#8217;ve felt in a long time. I&#8217;m very grateful.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Nina: It&#8217;s hard to be missing someone.<\/p>\n<p>Tessa: These texts that Mariah sent, taking off for days, barely communicating, it&#8217;s just &#8212; it&#8217;s not like her. I wonder if we should&#8217;ve taken Stitch up on his offer to help try to find her. Look, I know. Mariah would be mad, but I can handle that. But this bizarre silence&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Nina: I can see it&#8217;s getting to you. I&#8217;m sorry, Tessa. I&#8217;m not an expert, okay? As much as I think we should give Mariah her space, I&#8217;m just the grandmother, you know? You&#8217;re talking about the woman you love, so it&#8217;s got to be your call. Yeah. I&#8217;ll be upstairs if you need me, alright?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Faith: I can&#8217;t believe you went through all that trouble.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: Don&#8217;t worry about it. Devon already had a meeting set up with TigirLily, so it wasn&#8217;t that big of a deal.<\/p>\n<p>Faith: Still. Plus, how&#8217;d you know I was such a fangirl? I don&#8217;t remember telling you.<\/p>\n<p>Moses: You don&#8217;t have to. I pay attention.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Devon: Well, hey, I know the plan was to get a bite here, but after everything, you want to just take something back to my place and relax tonight?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Honestly, that sounds like heaven. I will be checking my phone nonstop, but, yes, I would love to decompress.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: I&#8217;m in. Who&#8217;s driving?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Okay, can I clear a room or what?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: [ Chuckles ] No, we are not leaving on your account.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Okay, well, I&#8217;ll try not to take it personally then.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Please don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Everyone doing okay?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: For the moment.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone rings ]<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Oh, I better take this. You guys enjoy your meal. This is Dr. Hastings.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Alright, I&#8217;m gonna go put in our orders. What would you ladies like?<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Surprise me. Besides, I think I might want to stay and eat here after all.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Imani, will you stop it?<\/p>\n<p>Imani: What?<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: You have that same look in your eye that you had at our cocktail party. Just flirting with Nate. Listen to me, Nate is dating Elena.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: So? What&#8217;s the harm in a little innocent flirting?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Well, keep me posted.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Can I buy you a drink?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I thought you guys were leaving.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Not yet. Besides, I have ulterior motives.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Ah.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: I&#8217;d like to get your advice on something.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Okay, is this a medical question?<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Something personal.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: It&#8217;s about Amanda.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Stitch: It&#8217;s later than I thought.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Oh, do you need to hit the road?<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: Soon. I&#8217;ll take you home, and then I&#8217;ll leave from there.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: No, no, no need. This is really nice. Being outside on this beautiful summer day, not dwelling on things I can&#8217;t control.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: You don&#8217;t have your car.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, I will just take a ride-share when I&#8217;m ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: Alright, then. I guess this is goodbye.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: But you&#8217;re only gonna be gone a few days, right?<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: I&#8217;ll be back before you know it. In the meantime, I hope you hear from Mariah. Something a little less cryptic.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: That would be nice, yeah. [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: Take care, Abby.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Let me know when you get back to town.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch: You&#8217;ll be the first. I&#8217;m &#8212; I&#8217;m gonna go.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Devon: Alright, I ordered the snapper with mango salsa for Imani.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Yeah, you probably shouldn&#8217;t even have gotten her anything. Doesn&#8217;t look like she&#8217;s leaving anytime soon. [ Sighs ] Guess I got to give her credit for being bold, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I wouldn&#8217;t worry. Nate&#8217;s grown. Went through a lot for him and Elena to get back to a good place, so I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s gonna throw that away just &#8217;cause someone new is smiling at him.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Yeah, you&#8217;re probably right.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I&#8217;m definitely right.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Well, I hope so, for Elena&#8217;s sake.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Imani: So, if and when I pass the bar, Amanda would like me to be her partner.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: What? I hadn&#8217;t realized she planned on starting your own firm. Wow. Good for her.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: It makes all kinds of sense for Amanda, but would it be right for me?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: What?<\/p>\n<p>Imani: [ Laughs ] I suppose that&#8217;s not a fair question, since you don&#8217;t walk around with a crystal ball.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Or do you?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: You know, I left it in my other jacket.<\/p>\n<p>[ Both laugh ]<\/p>\n<p>Imani: It happens. You&#8217;ve known Amanda longer than I have, so I&#8217;d like your take. How do you think it would be working with her &#8212; not as an assistant like I&#8217;ve been doing, but, like, as a full-on partner?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: A dream come true. Amanda&#8217;s whip smart, forthright, ethical, driven. She also has a huge heart. Granted, not all siblings can work together, but if you&#8217;re up for it, I think it&#8217;d be a stellar opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: You certainly make the idea of accepting this job and relocating here permanently very appealing.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone rings ]<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Oh. Ohh. Sorry, I&#8217;ve been waiting for this.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: No, go right on.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: Thanks. Mom, are you alright?<\/p>\n<p>Naya: I&#8217;m fine. At least for now. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m calling. I knew you and Amanda would be worried.<\/p>\n<p>Imani: She&#8217;s right here. Hold on. Amanda, guess who.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Naya? Thank god you called.<\/p>\n<p>Naya: I&#8217;m sorry I left without calling you girls, but I just panicked and ran.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Okay, where are you?<\/p>\n<p>Naya: It&#8217;s best if you don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t want you trying to find me.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda: Listen to me, I understand that you are scared, but everything has changed. You need to come back to Genoa City now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2020\/05\/24\/yrtrans\/\">Back to the Y&amp;R Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tvmegasite.net\/day\/transcripts.shtml\">Back to the Main Daytime Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6098\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/yranim2.gif\" alt=\"Y&amp;R cast animation\" width=\"202\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young &amp; The Restless Transcript Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne Amanda: Michael Baldwin, this is my colleague, Imani.
