Update written by Joseph

At home, Eric tells Sloan that he thinks he got Jude to sleep. Sloan comments that he said that 10 minutes ago. Eric responds that if he wakes up again, he’ll take him over to John and Marlena’s and put Brady to work as the Godfather. Sloan thought he hadn’t asked Brady to be Godfather yet. Eric confirms he hasn’t, but thinks now might be a good time to do so. Sloan knows how tradition is so important to the Bradys, so she asks what Eric thinks about moving the Christening reception back to the Brady Pub where it was originally to be held. Eric says they already talked about this but Sloan says she had time to think and worried that Roman might feel slighted if he’s not able to give his grandson the reception. Eric points out that Nicole is really excited about hosting it at the DiMera Mansion. Eric assures that Roman will understand. Sloan questions if he won’t be hurt. Eric asks if this is about keeping the celebration in the family or keeping Nicole out of it?

John goes home and tells Steve and Marlena that he can’t believe that Steve told Marlena that he killed Konstantin’s daughter. John questions Steve knowing all these years, but when he asked him, he lied to his face and went behind his back to tell his wife. John asks Steve if he was ever going to tell him.

Harris goes to see Ava, who questions him not following bed rest and asks where he was as he had her worried. Harris responds that he just had some things to take care of.

Stefan emerges from the tunnels of the DiMera Mansion to the living room and asks EJ what’s going on. EJ informs him that Harris was just there asking for him. Stefan asks what he said. EJ says since Stefan failed to neutralize Clyde, who just escaped from prison, he safely infers that Stefan is no longer of any use to Harris. EJ adds that Harris also told him that Stefan shot him in cold blood and he demanded justice be served for his attempted murder. Stefan asks if EJ is still going to help him out, reminding him that they made a deal. EJ tells him not to worry since he can’t wait to get rid of him, so he is going to help him. EJ declares that tonight will be Stefan’s last night as a DiMera and tells him to make the most of it. EJ hands Stefan a drink and toasts to that, calling it exciting.

Sloan argues that Eric already knows how she feels about Nicole and doesn’t understand why Eric told Nicole that she could throw the Christening party for a child she stole. Eric argues that Nicole was out of her mind and has apologized which they accepted. Eric adds that Holly is like a daughter to him and thinks of Jude as a brother, so he thinks it’s important for her to feel like a part of this. Sloan questions if this is about Holly or Nicole. They are interrupted by a knock at the door as Brady arrives. Brady hopes he’s not interrupting. Sloan says she was just leaving, tells Eric to have a good night and storms out.

John calls it ironic that after all these years, Konstantin of all people is the one who finally told him the truth. Marlena explains that Steve was afraid how John would react to the truth. John states that he took the life of an innocent young woman and asks how he’s supposed to react to that. Steve argues that it might not be the whole truth as Konstantin doesn’t know any more than they do. John argues that this woman was a real person and somebody’s daughter, but he killed her.

Ava asks Harris what he had to take care of and if everything is alright. Harris asks when she last saw or spoke with Stefan. Ava says she doesn’t know as she’s been so focused on Tripp. Ava guesses it was a few days ago when Harris woke up at the hospital and asks why. Harris says he wanted to have a chat with him about Clyde, but Stefan is nowhere to be found.

EJ informs Stefan that he is all set to depart and he has arranged him a flight tomorrow morning with a new passport, so he will assume his new identity and be on his way. Stefan didn’t think it would move so fast. EJ reminds him that Clyde wanted him to off Harris while Harris wanted him to take out Clyde and since he failed both, his only options are prison, death, or North Korea. Stefan asks if that’s a joke. EJ says he’s dead serious as he told Stefan that he would get him to a country that doesn’t have a treaty with the US, he just didn’t say which one. Stefan calls that nuts and argues that EJ said he would help him, not send him to a warzone. EJ asks if he would prefer Afghanistan or Siberia.

Ava tells Harris that it is odd that she hasn’t heard from Stefan and asks if Harris thinks he had something to do with Clyde’s escape. Harris talks about Clyde putting the screws to Stefan by threatening Gabi and that Stefan is crazy about her. Harris thinks Ava might even be surprised by the lengths Stefan would go to protect Gabi.

Stefan argues with EJ that this is not what they agreed to. EJ disagrees. Stefan asks how he’s supposed to navigate these places when he doesn’t speak Russian or Korean. Stefan complains that he lost four years of his life thanks to EJ. EJ says if Stefan doesn’t want to be sent to a safer location, he’s free to do that. Stefan argues that he’s trusting EJ with his life. EJ remarks that Stefano always said starting over builds character.

Sloan walks through the town square and finds Leo passed out at a table, so she wakes him up. Sloan asks if he partied too hard on St. Patrick’s Day. Leo complains about her talking too loud and her perfume. Leo thinks Roman was trying to do him in last night with whiskey and green beer. Sloan suggests he not go drinking on her dime. Leo responds that it’s his dime now and suggests she show more consideration for someone feeling weakness. Leo adds that if Sloan did less drinking herself, his weekly allowance wouldn’t be due so quickly.

Brady asks Eric if he’s sure it’s a good time since Sloan didn’t seem too thrilled. Eric says she’s just exhausted as it took awhile to get Jude down and he didn’t sleep well last night. Eric talks about the Christening being the day after tomorrow. Brady assures that he wouldn’t miss it. Eric then asks Brady to do them the honor of being Jude’s Godfather. Brady says he’s honored to be asked but says no, he can’t do that.

Marlena tells John not to torture himself, insisting that he’s a wonderful man. John calls himself a killing machine and declares that he can’t live with himself anymore. John announces he’s going to turn himself in to the authorities.

Ava asks Harris why Stefan would help Clyde when he despises him. Harris repeats that he’s crazy about his wife. Harris suggests Ava reach out to Stefan. Ava says she has called and texted but he never responded. Ava tells Harris that he can’t be running all over town like an action hero. Ava decides she’s taking Harris to bed, no arguments.

EJ suggests Stefan take only a few changes of clothes and a toothbrush but nothing more. Stefan jokes about packing all his belongings. Stefan says he would at least like to say goodbye to his wife before he goes. EJ says sure if he would like to say goodbye to his life as well. EJ reminds Stefan of the power Clyde’s network wields at prison and warns that he’ll be taken out if he steps foot there. EJ tells Stefan that he’ll gladly put the knife through Gabi’s heart on his behalf. Stefan calls him a sadistic son of a bitch. EJ warns him about the name calling since Stefan’s life is in his hands. Stefan asks what he will tell Gabi. EJ says he will tell her that Stefan went to start his happily ever after without her and he’s sure she will do the same at her earliest opportunity, unless she already has. Stefan asks EJ to tell Gabi that he loves her. Stefan says he doesn’t care about anything else but that. EJ says no and then tells Stefan that a car will meet him at the end of the tunnel before dawn. EJ hopes Stefan isn’t claustrophobic, because it’s safest for him to ride in the trunk.

Sloan gives Leo a check and remarks that she knows how to stick to a budget. Leo remarks that he was in the red because of a suit he bought for Jude’s Christening. Leo says he and Jude have a very special connection since he brought him in to the world. Sloan demands Leo return that suit because he’s not coming to Jude’s Christening.

Eric questions Brady turning down being Jude’s Godfather. Brady says it’s an honor to be asked but he doesn’t think he should be involved with any titles that have the word father in them because he screwed up with his own kids. Eric asks what he’s talking about as he calls him a great father. Brady questions that, pointing out that he has his son in a halfway house and a daughter that doesn’t care if she sees him because he hardly ever sees her. Eric argues that’s only because of Kristen messing with Rachel’s head. Brady says Kristen was only able to do that because he messed up and made mistakes. Brady then informs Eric about Tate breaking out of the halfway house and in to the DiMera Mansion to see Holly, leading to EJ slapping a restraining order against him. Brady knows Tate is in love and feels he would probably do the same thing at his age because it’s genetic. Brady declares that history has shown that if there’s a mistake to be made, he’s going to make it and his kids are just taking after their father.

Marlena questions what John will say when he turns himself in. Steve argues that they are talking about something that happened decades ago, that John doesn’t remember and no one actually saw. John complains that he tried to convince himself that he was one of the good guys. John says he knew Yo Ling tried to create him in his own image when he trained him to be an assassin. John adds that if he killed people as The Pawn, he told himself that they were probably the bad guys anyway but taking the life of an innocent girl proves that he’s no better than Yo Ling was and he’s a monster just like he was.

Stefan tells EJ that he can’t do this and there’s got to be another way. Stefan argues that EJ could offer him a deal. EJ questions letting him off for attempted murder when there’s plenty of evidence against him and says he would lose his job. Stefan complains that EJ is taking over the DiMera empire and questions why the hell he would want a government job anyway. EJ declares that amassing power is the DiMera’s raison d’etre and Stefan knows that better than he does. EJ adds that Stefan threw that all away when he shot a cop. Stefan blames EJ not helping him when he asked. EJ argues that Stefan makes one calamitous decision after another including one that almost cost his stepdaughter her life, so he should be grateful that he’s even helping him. Stefan shouts that EJ is only helping himself to everything that is rightfully his. EJ reminds Stefan that this was his own idea. Stefan points at the portrait of Stefano and remarks that he’s sure he’d be flipping in his grave right now, mortified that one of his sons could betray another. EJ calls Stefan so wrong because they both know that if Stefano was mortified by this current turn of events, it would be because one of his sons has proven himself to be an absolute failure and complete embarassment of the DiMera name. EJ declares that Stefano would be so proud of him for making sure that stain is banished.

Ava feels Harris and worries about a possible fever if he’s overdoing it but Harris assures that he’s fine and jokes that he’s just hot for her.

Leo tells Sloan that he is going to Jude’s Christening because Eric invited him and since he delivered the baby, he has a special place in his heart. Leo thinks it’s reasonable for him to want to be there. Sloan question why he wants to be there so bad. Leo says he just explained it and repeats that he and Jude have a special connection. Leo calls himself Jude’s fairy godmother. Sloan bets Jude’s real Godfather will have something to say about that.

Eric tries to convince Brady and asks if he wants Leo Stark to be Jude’s Godfather which Brady questions. Eric calls it a long story that he doesn’t fully understand, but Leo pretty much appointed himself to the job. Brady calls that creepy but insists that Eric will find another willing candidate besides him. Eric argues that he doesn’t want anyone else. Eric says Brady is his brother and he loves him. Eric knows Brady would do anything for his kids. Eric asks Brady again to do him the honor of being Jude’s Godfather. Brady decides that he knows Eric won’t back down from this so he agrees to do it. Eric thanks him as they hug.

Marlena tells John that she knows all too well the guilt that she felt for doing unthinkable and unspeakable things. Marlena knows how difficult it was to forgive herself even though what was done was out of her own control. Marlena adds that what helped her was John’s kindness, support, and empathy which is what he needs now. Marlena says the man John is today would never do anything like that but John tells her that she’s wrong as he reveals that just last week, he helped Clyde Weston break out of prison. Steve explains that they had no choice as it was either help Clyde escape or let Tripp and Wendy die. Steve adds that they had no intention of just letting Clyde go and if they hadn’t put their trust in Ava, Clyde wouldn’t be running free. John tells Marlena that he’s sorry that he had to burden her with more knowledge about what he did. Marlena says she’s relieved to know what they have been through. John adds that if anyone else gets killed with Clyde out there, that’s on him too. John feels he at least needs to go apologize to Konstantin for everything including the accusations. Steve argues that it’s true that Konstantin is trying to fleece Maggie but John declares that Konstantin is a grieving father and he’s the reason for that. John states that if anyone did that to his daughter Belle, he would hunt them down and kill them.

Brady tells Eric that Sloan thinks Tate should plead guilty because there’s no way to prove that the drugs were Holly’s unless she admits it. Eric asks if Brady thinks Holly knows more than what she’s saying. Brady mentions talking to Sarah about memory loss in coma patients but Tate told him that Holly was using drugs for weeks before she overdosed and says she’s got to remember that. Brady feels that unless Holly comes clean, everyone’s going to believe Tate pushed the drugs on Holly and he will keep paying for a crime he didn’t commit.

Leo questions Sloan as to who Jude’s Godfather is. Sloan informs him that Eric is asking Brady tonight. Leo argues that Brady hasn’t accepted yet and that Eric must be procrastinating by waiting until the last minute. Sloan argues that it was all up to their schedules. Leo says he’ll make sure Jude’s picture ends up in the Spectator but Sloan refuses to let him use Jude as an attempt to humanize himself. Leo reminds Sloan that if it wasn’t for him, Jude wouldn’t be in her life. Leo brings up Melinda being the Godmother while he gets nothing. Sloan says that’s because Melinda didn’t try to blackmail her. Leo insists upon having a special connection with Jude. Leo asks if it’s so hard to believe that he actually cares about the kid and assures that he does because he’s been a part of his life since he was born. Leo doesn’t think it’s too much to ask to have a ringside seat to one of the most important moments of Jude’s life.

Ava and Harris kiss. Ava jokes that she’s pretty sure this is not what the doctor meant by bed rest but Harris says it’s exactly what the doctor ordered as they continue kissing.

Stefan tells EJ that they never discussed specifics as far as living arrangements and expenses. EJ says he’s sure he’ll figure it out. Stefan decides it doesn’t matter since he’ll be miserable where ever he is without Gabi which EJ mocks. EJ says if it’s any comfort to him, if Gabi ever gets out of prison, he will let her know where Stefan is so they can wallow together in misery. EJ suggests Stefan get back in to the tunnels before anybody sees him.

Sloan tells Leo that it is too much to ask and warns him about showing up uninvited. Leo threatens that if she throws him out, he’ll have to announce to all in attendance that Sloan stole Jude from Nicole. Leo tells Sloan he will see her at the Christening and walks away.

Eric knows Brady wants to believe Tate and he does too, but maybe Holly isn’t lying and is just confused. Brady knows Eric loves Holly and he does too. Brady understands Holly doesn’t want her parents to think she’s using but she’s putting that ahead of his son’s freedom. Brady asks what Eric is thinking. Eric informs him that he talked to Holly the other day and felt like she might be hiding something but he didn’t want to push too hard. Eric promises to talk to her again. Brady says he’d be grateful for anything he could do. Eric declares it’s all about family and he knows Brady would do the same for Jude.

Steve tells John that he’s so sorry for not telling him about what happened in Aria with Konstantin and his daughter, but he blocked it out himself for a long time. Steve repeats that he didn’t know how John would react. John thinks Steve knew exactly how he would react. Marlena decides no more talk about John turning himself in until he’s had time to really think about it. Marlena tells John not to forget that she loves him.

Ava and Harris lay in bed together. Ava asks if he’s sure this is what the doctor ordered. Harris jokes that he might need a refill of this prescription as they kiss. They say they missed each other. Ava then thinks back to when she had sex with Stefan. Ava decides she will go get Harris his pain meds and she will be right back. Ava exits the bedroom and then Stefan arrives at the front door, saying he needs to talk to her as he needs her help. Ava tells him it’s not a good time and he needs to go but Harris comes out of the bedroom and acknowledges Stefan as his would-be assassin. Harris declares that Stefan is not going anywhere, leaving Ava confused in between them.

Days Opinions For The Week Of March 11, 2024

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

Tate and Holly from Days

Tate took the risk of going to see Holly so she could help clear his name. We get why he felt he needed to leave the rehab center to see her, but he shouldn’t have risked getting caught doing that. Did he really think no one was going to find him at the DiMera mansion? There was no way he was going to get away with seeing her without getting caught. He should have waited to see her.

Speaking of Holly, she was so selfish when she didn’t tell Nicole and EJ that Tate wasn’t the one who drugged her. She would rather have them think Tate drugged her instead of letting them know she wasn’t the saint they think she is. Holly was able to live with the fact that an innocent person was being punished for something she did. We don’t believe she doesn’t want to stress out Nicole. She’s looking out for herself.

Abe finally got his memory back this week. It was about time he got it back. We didn’t care for the way he got his memory back out of the blue. Lexie came to see Abe when Paulina was dying. After her visit, he suddenly got his memory back and Paulina was suddenly cured. We understand that the writers wanted us to believe that it was a miracle, but we didn’t buy it. They could have come up with a better way to have Abe and Paulina get their miracles.

What was the point of having Eli and Lani come back to Salem if they were going to write them off so soon? Why would Eli suddenly accept a promotion when he knows what his family is going through? He could have gotten his job back in Salem. The writers could have said Eli and Lani were staying temporarily. They didn’t have to have him accept a promotion.

Did the writers forget that Maggie has two children? When she and Konstantin were talking about her children, she only mentioned Sarah. She said she lost two children which means Melissa is still alive. Konstantin has no way of knowing about Melissa, so we didn’t expect him to mention her, but Maggie knows she has another daughter and forgot about her. Just because Melissa isn’t on the show anymore doesn’t mean she couldn’t mention her.

Days of Our Lives Update

 

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Harris goes to the police station where Jada questions what the hell he’s doing there instead of being on bed rest. Harris responds that he can’t just lay in bed and he has to find out how Clyde escaped prison. Jada informs him that there was a toxic spill and when all the prisoners had to evacuate, Clyde was missing. Jada declares that Clyde is on the run and they have no idea where the hell he is.

Brady and Theresa meet with Tate in the interrogation room. Theresa questions what Tate was thinking by breaking out of the halfway house and in to the DiMera Mansion. Tate argues that he had to see Holly and try to clean up this mess. Theresa complains that now it’s an even bigger mess, noting that he stole her phone. Tate apologizes and says he was desperate. Brady doesn’t think Tate understood how he screwed up here as he violated a legal mandate and could go back to jail. Tate gets that they are angry but complains that he was going out of his mind in the halfway house and he had to find out what Holly remembered. Brady says they are worried as he declares that what Tate did last night was a really bad move.

Nicole and EJ go to Holly’s room. Holly mentions hardly sleeping. Nicole understands she had a lot on her mind. EJ says they need to talk about Tate breaking in last night. Holly argues that he didn’t break in but EJ insists that he did. Holly calls it a big misunderstanding and complains that EJ didn’t have to have Tate arrested. EJ questions if he was just supposed to look the other way. EJ declares that he did what he had to do for Holly’s safety and the safety of their family. Holly argues that they are all safe and calls it ridiculous as she argues that he can’t send Tate to jail.

Steve goes to Marlena’s and they sit together. Steve hopes he didn’t alarm her at the Pub. Marlena asks what’s going on and what he has to tell her about John. Steve responds that it’s about his past as The Pawn.

At the Black Patch office, John complains that Konstantin has been messing with him ever since that night at the park a month ago. Konstantin informs him that their history did not begin there as many years ago, John tore his life apart. Konstantin then shows John a photo of his daughter, Catharina. John responds that he doesn’t know who it is which Konstantin finds very perplexing because he is the one who killed her.

Harris asks Jada if there’s any signs of Goldman. Jada says they don’t have good news on that either as she found out that she wiped out her bank account and they found her car abandoned outside of town but they are looking in to everything. Harris says Clyde had to have set this up because Goldman couldn’t have pulled this off on her own which Jada agrees with. Harris thinks Clyde will stay local to keep his eyes on his business and his people. Jada adds that aside from Goldman, they don’t know who else was helping Clyde. Harris thanks her for the update and says he has to get going. Jada tells him to get some rest as he exits the station.

EJ tells Holly that Tate broke the law and when you break the law, there are consequences. Nicole thinks EJ may be overreacting a bit and says that Tate and Holly are just teenagers and they make mistakes. Nicole calls it nothing compared to what they did at their ages. EJ argues that has no bearing on this situation. Holly argues that EJ doesn’t know Tate. EJ brings up Tate being kicked out of boarding school for vandalism. Holly calls that a stupid prank and declares that Tate is not a drug dealer and she knows he didn’t drug her. Nicole questions how she knows that if she doesn’t remember anything from that night. Holly insists that Tate would never do anything like that. Holly pleads with EJ not to send Tate to jail. EJ agrees to consider the options but says he’s not making any promises as he exits the room.

Marlena asks Steve what she doesn’t know about her husband’s past. Steve talks about being one of the first people to encounter John when he came to Salem. Steve states that under Victor’s orders, John was under his care as the Pawn and he was his handler until he went on the run and became John Black. Marlena says she’s aware of how he got his name and tells Steve to continue. Steve says they know what kind of guy he was back then and he still has a lot of shame that he carried out Victor’s orders and the unethical things he demanded of him. Steve informs Marlena that one day, Victor had a mission for them.

Konstantin tells John that he will tell him a story about him and Victor with Steve, his innocent daughter Catharina, and finally John, the Pawn.

Tate complains to Brady and Theresa that he had to go see Holly and all she had to do was tell EJ that the drugs weren’t his and he could come home. Theresa says they all want him to come home but he was doing so well. Tate asks what that even means and why she keeps saying stuff like that as if he belongs in the halfway house. Tate complains that it’s painful because he doesn’t need help. Tate says he didn’t do any of the drugs in Salem and he’s being railroaded for nothing. Brady points out that Tate did break in to the DiMera Mansion so all of this is snowballing in to a bigger mess. Brady says they all want Holly to know the truth, but breaking the law is not the way to get it.

Holly asks Nicole why EJ has to make such a big deal about this. Nicole agrees he’s being a little overzealous and says she will talk to him about not sending Tate to jail. Holly wants EJ to just stay out of it. Nicole points out that it is EJ’s house that Tate broke in to. Holly argues that it’s their house too. Nicole assures that EJ cares about her and is just looking out for her. Holly remarks that EJ isn’t her father and if he really cared about her, he’d back off of Tate. Holly insists that Tate is not who EJ is making him out to be as he’s always been really nice to her and swears that he was on New Year’s Eve too. Holly tells Nicole that she does remember that her and Tate were having a good time. Nicole wonders if she’s covering for Tate so he doesn’t get in any more trouble. Nicole questions if Holly just said Tate didn’t drug her to get EJ off her back. Nicole says it’s just her, so she can be honest. Nicole asks if Holly remembers more about that night than she’s telling her.

EJ goes to the living room where Harris is waiting. EJ asks what brings him by. Harris asks if he knows where Stefan is. EJ responds that he hasn’t seen him in days which Harris questions. EJ states that he does not keep tabs on his family members but he’s sure he’ll cross paths with Stefan eventually. Harris calls it a coincidence since he just came from the police station and was brief on Clyde’s prison escape and now Stefan has disappeared too. EJ questions what he is insinuating. Harris responds that he has a hunch that Stefan had something to do with Clyde busting out of prison and he thinks EJ knows something about it.

Steve tells Marlena that this is part of his past that he’d just as soon forget but now he’s being forced to confront it. Steve informs her that Victor sent he and John to deliver a message and it was John’s first assignment of the Pawn. Steve adds that the message was to a man who was challenging Victor’s authority.

Konstantin tells John that he and Victor were always fighting over power in Greece, so Victor sent his Pawn over to send him a message which was John.

Steve tells Marlena that the message was loud and clear to make sure this man knows that his interference will no longer be tolerated, so they flew by private jet and then rode in to the small village of Aria. Steve states that they were there to find the man they know today as Konstantin Meleounis.

Holly tells Nicole that she doesn’t remember what happened on New Year’s Eve but she knows in her heart that Tate did not drug her. Nicole says she hears her loud and clear, so she will talk to EJ. Holly asks if she thinks EJ will change his mind. Nicole says she doesn’t know but she will do her best. Nicole asks if Holly is hungry for anything, so she asks for a grilled cheese. Nicole notes that Holly’s school teachers sent some homework and suggests they can look at colleges online together as she exits the room. Holly then puts her shoes and jacket on and hurries out of her room.

Tate tells Theresa and Brady that he’s a screw up and asks if they’re happy that he admits it. Theresa tells him that he’s not. Tate goes over getting kicked out of school and then sent to jail for drug pushing and that’s what the world thinks of him. Tate says his biggest mistake was not calling the cops when he found Holly. Brady knows this is all very confusing. Tate says he’s just angry and scared as he declares that his life is over. Brady tells him not to say that. Tate argues that they said he screwed up his future, so they think he’s a loser like everyone else. Theresa says he just made a mistake. Tate complains that making mistakes over and over again make him a loser. Brady says it makes him human.

EJ asks if Harris got brain damage and says he’s out of his mind. Harris questions EJ knowing nothing about Clyde’s escape. EJ reminds him that he’s the district attorney and repeats that he has no idea where Clyde or Stefan are. Harris accuses him of lying, reminding him that they already talked about the possibility of Stefan being in cahoots with Clyde. EJ says he already told him that he would throw the book at Stefan if that was the case. Harris doesn’t believe he was being transparent. EJ advises Harris to go work out there instead of harassing him and directs him to the door. Harris then informs EJ that he knows Stefan is working with Clyde. EJ questions how he knows that, so Harris then reveals that he knows Stefan is the one who shot him.

Marlena tells Steve that she thought Konstantin was a longtime friend of Victor’s. Steve says more like longtime rival which is why he and John know that he’s been conning Maggie and why they’ve been trying to get him to leave town. Marlena asks if he went to his house to persuade him. Steve confirms that Victor called and instructed him to watch outside for guards while John confronted Konstantin.

Konstantin tells John that he was sitting at his work bench, carving a figurine for his daughter when all of a sudden John burst in. Konstantin says they struggled and he never saw his face, only his eyes, which still haunted him to this moment. Konstantin admits that John got the best out of him and beat him unconscious.

Steve explains to Marlena that he heard a gunshot but he knew the Pawn wasn’t supposed to kill Konstantin so he rushed inside to see what happened. Steve recalls it being hard to see at first but then he saw John off to the side in a trance, holding the gun, then he spotted Konstantin face down on the floor, unconscious but still breathing. Steve reveals that then he saw a young girl lying next to him with blood pooled underneath her and he checked her pulse, but she was gone.

Konstantin tells John that when he woke up, John was gone, his door was open and his home was a wreck. Konstantin recalls getting to focus and seeing his daughter, Catharina on the floor, shot by John which leaves John shocked.

Nicole returns to Holly’s room to find she’s gone.

EJ tells Harris that he can’t be serious since they’ve charged Xander with his shooting and the evidence is stacked against him. Harris says that’s because Clyde and Stefan framed him and he’s starting to think EJ is in on it too. Nicole comes in and asks what’s going on. EJ says they are just talking shop and asks if there’s anything she needs. Nicole says she was just looking for Holly. EJ thought she was upstairs with her. Nicole explains that she went to make her lunch and when she went back, she was gone. EJ suggests checking the grounds or the garden and offers to go with her but Nicole says it’s fine and she’s sure she’s there somewhere. Nicole tells Harris it was nice to see him and exits the room. EJ tells Harris that he promises he’ll be the first to know when he sees Stefan, but he’s going to find his stepdaughter. Harris stops EJ and says they are not done here.

Holly goes to the police station and asks Jada if she can help her. Jada tells her it’s nice to see she’s doing better. Holly says she needs to speak with Tate. Jada says she’s sorry but that’s not going to happen because he’s in interrogation with his parents and is in police custody as he might be charged with another felony. Holly asks about him being in the interrogation room. Jada repeats that they can’t allow her to see him because he violated the terms of his release and broke in to her house last night. Jada also feels that Nicole doesn’t know she’s here so she’s going to call her.

Marlena asks Steve if he’s telling her that John killed the girl. Steve clarifies that he didn’t see it happen but feels it wasn’t hard to piece together. Steve reminds her that John was the Pawn at that time so he wasn’t considered human, more of a weapon or an assassin. Marlena recalls John’s training when he was younger. Steve says that made it appealing for any evil bastard to recruit him. Marlena asks if he thinks John meant to kill that girl. Steve says it could’ve been an accident but John’s brain had been reprogrammed, so maybe he snapped. Steve says he doesn’t know and all he knew at that moment was that the message was sent, mission complete, and the girl was dead, so he grabbed John and took off back to Salem.

Konstantin tells John that he held his daughter’s lifeless body in his hands, telling her memories of her childhood. Konstantin says she was the only thing in the world that mattered to him and his only reason for living. Konstantin adds that after her funeral, he developed another reason to go on as he plottted and planned to undermine Victor every chance he got. Konstantin reveals that he swore to himself that if he ever found the man that killed his daughter, he would make him pay, and now after all these years, he has finally found him.

Steve tells Marlena that he thought this whole thing was behind them, but then they confronted Konstantin about his intentions with Maggie and he turned out to be the same man from Aria. Marlena points out that John’s face was covered when the girl was killed, so she asks how Konstantin could know. Steve reveals that he said it was his eyes. Marlena brings up that she was John’s doctor and trying to help him find his identity, so she questions why she’s just now hearing about this. Steve says in trying to keep the secret from John, he didn’t feel he could tell her either and apologizes. Marlena asks if Kayla knows. Steve confirms she doesn’t. Marlena asks how he’s been living with this all this time. Steve calls it a terrible memory that he kept buried and says there were times in his life when he didn’t know who he was either and the DiMeras wiped his memories from him. Steve wishes this whole thing had stayed in the past and that he could’ve protected his friend from the knowledge of what he did, but then Konstantin showed up in Salem and mentioned his hometown of Aria and it all unraveled from there.

Konstantin yells at John asking if he remembers now. John says he doesn’t but he always had a feeling in his gut. Konstantin hopes that feeling eats him alive. Konstantin declares that he will not rest until he gets his revenge. Konstantin remarks that John should’ve killed him but instead, he chose to murder his daughter in cold blood and for that, he will make him pay. Konstantin then storms out of the office.

EJ questions Harris detaining him in his own home and threatens to make one call to have him fired. Harris argues that only the police commissioner can do that and says if EJ tells him where Stefan is, he would go. EJ repeats that he doesn’t know and if he did, he would haul him in because talking to Harris is a colossal waste of time. EJ tells Harris again that Xander shot him, not Stefan. Harris responds that Stefan shot him and pulled the trigger. EJ asks what proof he has. Harris reveals that he is the eye witness because he saw Stefan shoot him.

Holly argues with Jada that she’s not a little kid and complains that Tate did nothing wrong in coming to see her last night. Holly shouts that she let him in. Brady opens the window from the interrogation room. Tate gets excited that Holly is there to see him. Nicole arrives at the police station and finds Holly, questioning what she was thinking. Theresa wants to go talk to Holly but Brady points out that Nicole has arrived. Holly tells Nicole that she came to see Tate because she needs to talk to him. Nicole says now is not the time. Holly questions when is the time. Nicole points out that Holly hasn’t been cleared to leave the house. Nicole thanks Jada for calling her and tells Holly they are going home now as she takes her out of the station, leaving Tate disappointed.

EJ question how Harris can prove he saw Stefan and not Xander. Harris responds that once he finds Stefan, he’ll have his proof. EJ calls it a ridiculous theory. Harris argues that he has his word and that means something as he’s a detective and a navy SEAL. EJ mocks Harris having his brain scrambled. Harris declares that he’s going to find Stefan and when he does, he’s going to take down every dirty bastard involved in this mess.

Brady states that was not a good move on Holly’s part. Theresa wishes she had a chance to talk to her though. Jada enters and announces that EJ has decided not to press charges. Brady asks if Tate can go back to the halfway house then. Jada confirms he can, but he will be required to wear an ankle monitor so he can’t skip out again. Theresa assures that he won’t and that he won’t be there much longer. Tate hopes that Holly can come visit him but Jada tells him not to count on it as she reveals that EJ has also filed a restraining order so Tate is not to come within 100 yards of the DiMera Mansion or Holly.

Konstantin sits in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion and has a drink. He looks at a photo of Catharina on his phone.

John goes home and stops outside the door as he tearfully looks at the photo of Catharina that Konstantin gave him while thinking back to Konstantin’s words. John starts to head inside but stops when he hears Marlena telling Steve that John had always been afraid that he had done unthinkable things in the past. Steve responds that the man who went to Aria with him was not John as the man they know today would never do something like that. Marlena says she knows that but he knows the truth would destroy him. John then comes in and questions Steve knowing and never saying a word to him but he told his wife.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Uh, don’t take this the wrong way, but what the hell are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be on bed rest?

Yeah, I can’t watch TV and sleep all day, I’ll go crazy. Not to mention, I need to know how The hell Clyde Wesson escaped from prison?

Okay, there was a toxic spill in one of the cell blocks. And so when all the inmates had to be evacuated to the yard, when the prison guard took a head count, Clyde was MIA.

So he’s on the run. And we have no idea where the hell he is.

What were you thinking, breaking out of the halfway house like that? And then breaking into the DiMera mansion. I mean, aren’t things bad enough already?

I had to talk to Holly. I had to try to clean up this mess.

Well, this is an even bigger mess now, isn’t it? And then stealing my phone.

I’m sorry, I was desperate.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s obvious, Tate. But I don’t think you’ve understood how you’ve screwed up here. You’ve not only violated a legal mandate, you could go back to jail!

Okay! Okay, I get it.

Your new lawyer’s gonna have to work some real magic to stop that from happening.

Look, I get that you guys are angry, but don’t you get that I was going out of my mind stuck in that halfway house? I had to see what Holly remembers!

Your mom and dad being mad at you is the least of your concerns. We are worried. I’m not gonna sugarcoat this for you. What you did last night was a really bad move.

I’m sorry.

Good morning. Can we come in?

Well, um, you slept in, that’s good.

Hardly slept at all, actually.

Well, you’ve had a lot on your mind.

Holly, we need to talk about last night. about Tate breaking in.

He didn’t break in, okay?

Coming onto our property and climbing into your bedroom window in the middle of the night without anyone’s permission is the very definition of breaking in.

Look, this whole thing is a huge misunderstanding. Tate wasn’t doing anything wrong. You didn’t have to have him arrested.

Would you just have me look the other way? Holly, I did what I had to do. For your safety and the safety of this family.

I’m safe. We’re all safe. EJ, please. This is ridiculous. You can’t send Tate to jail.

Alrighty. There you go.

Thanks.

I, uh, I hope I didn’t alarm you coming up to the pub like that.

By the look on your face, I think I should be alarmed. What’s going on? What do you have to tell me about John?

It’s about his past. As the pawn.

Wait, What I did to you You gotta be kidding me because you’ve been messing with me ever since that night in the park over a month ago,

ah, yes But our history did not begin one month ago You see many years ago You tore my life apart Here, look at this.

Am I supposed to know who this is because I don’t?

You don’t remember her? I find that very perplexing.

I know. Why is that?

Because you are the one who killed her.

Okay, uh, Goldman, any signs of her?

I don’t have good news on that front either. Uh, we found out that she cleaned out her bank account, about 50 grand, and so there’s no likelihood of tracking her down via credit card spending either. And we found her car, it was abandoned on the outskirts of town.

Okay, any, uh, clues in her vehicle?

Nothing. She probably swapped out her car with another one.

Yeah, or she hopped on a bus or a train.

Yeah, we’re looking into all of that right now.

Yeah, but Clyde Weston, I can’t. There’s, he had to have set this up. Goldman could not have pulled this off on her own.

I agree. I have a bolo out nationwide and border patrol on both of them.

I, I think he’s gonna stay local.

Why do you think that?

I don’t know. I just think Clyde will stay in this area to keep his eyes on his business and his people.

Yeah, well, that’s another loose end as well. Aside from Goldman, we don’t know who else was helping him.

Right. Um, thanks for the update. I gotta get going.

All right, well, get some rest.

I don’t think so.

Holly, Tate broke the law. When you break the law, there are consequences.

Honey, honey, don’t you think you’re overreacting? Just Yes, sure. Tate shouldn’t have left the center, okay? But he just wanted to talk to Holly, for God’s sake. They’re just teenagers.

Teenagers are still accountable.

Yes, but they make mistakes. They act impulsively. I mean, it’s nothing compared to what I did when I was her age. Sure, you as well.

Our childhoods have no bearing on this situation at all, Nicole.

God, you act like Tate is Loki or someone.

What?

You don’t know him at all.

I do know that he was brought to Salem after being kicked out of boarding school for vandalism, causing five figures in damages.

That was a dumb mistake. A stupid prank, but he’s not a drug dealer and I know he didn’t drug me.

Honey, how do you know that if you don’t remember anything from that night?

I know! Because Tate would never do anything like that, Mom. EJ, please, don’t send him to jail. Please.

I’ll consider the options, but I’m not making any promises.

What do I not know? About my husband.

About his past.

Tell me!

Well, as you know, I was one of the first people to encounter John when he came to Salem. Under Victor’s orders, John was in my care. He was the pawn, and I was his handler. Until he went on the run and became John Blair.

I’m aware of how he got his name. Go on.

Well, we both know the kind of guy I was back then. I still have a lot of shame knowing that I carried out Victor’s orders. Did those unethical things. He demanded of me. For money. So one day, Victor had a mission for us. For me and the pawn.

Let me tell you a story. Our story. About me and Victor Kiriakis. And the others were Steve Patch Johnson. And my beautiful, innocent daughter, Katarina. And finally you, the pawn.

What would you do? Dad? Mom? If you were stuck in some rehab facility, and Holly’s the only person that can get you out of that place. So yeah, I went to go see her. Alright. And all she had to do was tell her stupid stepfather that I had nothing to do with those drugs. And then I could have come home. I just want to come home.

Tate, we all want you to come home, but My God, you are doing so well!

Oh my God! What does that even mean? I was doing so well. Why do you keep saying stuff like that? Like, like I belong in that horrible place and like it’s actually helping me. Which it is not. It’s just painful because I don’t need that kind of help. I, I pulled a stupid prank at school in California. I admit it. But that’s it. All this crap about drugs in Salem, I didn’t do any of it. No. I’m being railroaded for a crime I did

DiMera mansion, son? Holly could have given me permission.

Did she?

Do you not understand what’s happening here? All of this snowballing into even a bigger mess.

We all want the truth, okay? We want Holly to tell the truth. But breaking the law is not the way to get it.

Why does EJ have to make such a big deal about this?

Well, I agree. He is Being a little overzealous about this whole Tate business. So I will talk to him about not sending Tate to jail

Okay, you have to mom.

Okay

She should just stay out of it Well, I mean it is his house that Tate broke into

it’s our house too mom

You’re right, but honey EJ cares about you and he’s just looking out for you

Yeah, well, he’s not my father. And if he really cares about me, he’d back off on trying to punish Tate. Because he’s a good person, Mom. Tate’s not who EJ’s making him out to be. He’s always been so nice to me, and he was really nice on New Year’s Eve. I swear. We were having a good time. That I do remember. And What? Why are you looking at me like that?

Well, I’m, I’m just wondering if you’re covering for him. So that he doesn’t get in any more trouble.

Oh my god.

Well, honey, you said he didn’t drug you. That night. And, I mean, did you just say that to get EJ off your back? Honey, look. It’s just me. You can be honest. Do you remember more about that night than you’re telling me?

Ah, Harold told me you were here.

Mr. DiMera?

Sorry to keep you waiting. I was on the phone with my officer. What brings you by, detective?

Your brother, Stefan, you know where he is?

I have no idea. I haven’t seen him in a while. Days now, in fact.

Really?

I don’t keep tabs on my family members, detective. Though I’m sure I’ll cross paths with Stefan eventually, though it is a big house. He could be in another wing, for all I know.

Hmm, yeah. Well that’s, uh, that’s quite the coincidence. I just came from the station and was just briefed on Clyde Weston’s prison break and escape, and, uh, you know, he’s fallen off the map.

Yes, I heard about it. It’s infuriating.

And now I’m here looking for your brother, and he’s disappeared too.

What exactly are you insinuating, detective?

I don’t know. I just have a hunch that Stefan had something to do with Clyde busting out of prison. And I think you know something about it.

This is part of my past. I’d just as soon forget. Now I’m, I’m being forced to confront it. Victor sent me and John to deliver a message. It was John’s first assignment as the pawn. The message was to a man who was challenging Victor’s authority.

Victor and I were always fighting over territory in the Greek crime business. He sent his pawn over to deliver me a message.

No.

Oh yes, it was you.

The message was loud and clear. Make sure this man knows that his interference will no longer be tolerated.

So John and I, Flew by private jet to Nafplion. And then rode east into Aria, a small village. We were there to find the man we know today to be Konstantin Melionis.

I told you, I don’t know what happened on New Year’s Eve, but I know in my heart Tate didn’t drug me. How many times do I have to say it?

Hey, honey, honey. I hear you loud and clear.

So you’ll talk to EJ?

I said I would.

Do you think he’ll change his mind?

Oh, I don’t know, but I will do my best, okay? So, are you hungry? Can I bring you something? Maybe grilled cheese? Okay, you got it. Oh, and uh, your school teachers sent some homework for you that I’ll bring after lunch. And maybe, if you’re up for it, we could look at some colleges online together?

Okay. College, college, I love you.

Thank you. I love you. I love you.

Fine. I’m a screw up. Are you happy? I admit it.

No, Tate, you are not a screw up.

No? Let’s see. First, I get kicked out of school, and then I get sent to jail for drug pushing.

You’re not a drug pusher.

No, but the world thinks that I am. My biggest mistake was not calling 9 1 1 as soon as I found Holly. Or even telling that cop the honest truth when she started shining that blinding flashlight in my face.

Dad, I know. All of this is very confusing. I get it. There’s nothing confusing about it, Dad. I’m just angry and scared. My life is over.

Buddy, don’t say that.

No, but it is. You just said that. You did. You said I screwed up my whole future. You think I’m a loser just like everyone else.

No, you are not a loser.

We don’t think you’re a loser. We just think that you made a mistake.

But if you make a mistake over and over and over again, doesn’t it make you a loser?

No. Son, it makes you human.

Oh my, I, I, I didn’t realize one could develop brain damage after being shot in the chest.

You’re out of your mind.

So you know nothing about Clyde Weston’s escape?

Let me remind you, Detective Harris, that I am the district attorney. Not only do I have zero knowledge of anything involving Clyde Weston, I have no idea where my brother Stefan is, as I already told you.

You’re lying.

Oh, for God’s sake. We already talked about the possibility of Stefan and Bean in cahoots with Clyde. And I told you I would throw the book at him if that turned out to be the case.

Yes, but I got a feeling that you weren’t completely transparent that day.

And I have a feeling that it is raining coconuts. Oh, whoops. Looks like we’re both wrong. Now I strongly advise you to spend your time out there going after an escaped felon rather than in here, in my home, harassing me. And when I see my brother,

or finally produce your brother,

The door’s this way.

I know Stefan’s working with Clyde.

And how the hell do you know that?

Because Stefan is the one who shot me.

Konstantin, isn’t that the name of the man who’s staying at Maggie’s house?

That’s right.

Well, I thought that he was a long time friend of Victor’s.

More like long time rival. That’s why John and I know that he’s been conning Maggie and why we’ve been trying to get him to leave town.

So you went to his house to persuade him?

Yes. And Victor called and instructed me to wait outside and watch for guards and such. Well, John confronted Konstantin.

I was sitting at my workbench carving a little wooden figurine for my Katerina when all of a sudden the door burst open and you came in. I thought that Victor would send someone. I tried to defend myself, and we struggled, and I never saw your face. Just your eyes, only your eyes that still haunt me to this very moment. Yes, you beat me and beat me. We struggled. You got the best of me. You beat me over and over until I lost consciousness. Then I heard a gunshot.

I knew the pawn wasn’t supposed to kill Konstantin. So I rushed inside to see what happened. It was hard to see at first. But then, I saw John off to the side. In a trance. He’s holding the gun.

Oh, dear God.

And I, I spotted Konstantin on the floor. Face down. Unconscious. But he was still breathing. Then I saw, a young girl lying next to him. Blood had pooled underneath her. I checked for a pulse. But she was gone.

When I woke up, you were gone. The door was open, my home was a wreck. When I finally could focus, I saw my daughter. My only child, my Katerina, on the floor, shot by you.

I’m back. I brought you chips with your grilled cheese. Polly, honey?

You can’t be serious.

We’ve charged Xander Cook with your shooting. The evidence is stacked against him.

Of course it is, because Clyde and your brother framed him, and I’m starting to think you’re in on this too.

Oh! Hey, what’s going on here?

Oh, we’re just talking shop. Is there anything you need, sweetheart?

No, not really. I was just looking for Holly.

Wasn’t she upstairs with you?

Well, she was, and I came down here to make her some lunch, and when I went back up, she was gone.

She’s probably just feeling cooped up. Check the, uh, check the grounds.

Uh, the garden. In fact, why don’t I come and help you?

No, gosh, that’s, that’s okay. I’ll find her. I’m sure she’s here somewhere. I’m sure she’s here somewhere. It’s nice to see you, Harris.

Well, detective, as soon as I see my brother, I promise you’ll be the first to know. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go find my stepdaughter.

Yeah, we’re not done here.

Hi. Can you help me?

Oh, Holly Jonas. Wow, it’s nice to see that you’re doing better and you’re up and about.

Thanks. Um, I need to speak with Tate Black.

Well, I’m sorry, but that’s not going to happen.

Why not?

Well, for one, he’s in interrogation with his parents right now. And for another, he is in police custody and may be charged with another felony.

So, he’s in there?

We can’t allow you to see him, Holly. He violated the terms of his release. And he broke into your house last night. But he And I also have a feeling that your mom does not know you’re here. So, why don’t you have a seat and I’ll give her a call.

Are you telling me that John killed that girl?

I didn’t see it happen. I mean, it wasn’t hard to piece together though. Marlena, John was the pawn at that time. I mean, he, he, he wasn’t even, he wasn’t considered human. He was, he was more like a tool, a weapon. An assassin.

Yeah. Look, I know that John went to Winterbourne Academy when he was younger. I know that he trained there.

Yes. Which made it very appealing to anybody. Evil bastard at the time to recruit him.

But do you think that John meant to kill that girl? It could have been an accident.

I mean, John’s brain had been scrambled, reprogrammed. I don’t know, maybe he, maybe he felt threatened in some way. Maybe he snapped. I don’t know. All I knew at that moment was, the mission was complete. Message sent. And this poor young girl was dead. So I grabbed John, took off for Salem.

I held my daughter’s lifeless body in my hands, telling her of the memories of her child stories. The memories that we made are trips we took together. She was the only thing in this world that mattered to me. The only reason I had for living. And after her funeral, I, I developed another reason to go. I brought it in plant. To undermine Victor, every chance I got. And I swore to myself that if I ever found a man who killed my daughter, that I would make, make him pay. And now, after all these years, I have finally found. You.

I thought this whole thing was behind us. But then John and I confronted Konstantin about his intentions with Maggie. Turns out to be the same man from Aria.

John’s face was covered when that girl was killed. How could Konstantin know?

He said it was his eyes.

Steve, I was John’s doctor. I was trying to help him find his identity. Why am I just hearing about this?

In trying to keep this secret from John, I just didn’t think I could tell you either. I’m sorry.

Does Kayla know?

No.

How have you been living with us all this time?

It’s a terrible memory. I kept it buried. And as you know, there were times in my life when I didn’t know who I was either. When the DiMeras had wiped my memories from me. Now, how I wish I didn’t. This whole thing had stayed in the past. I wish I could have protected my friend from the knowledge of what he did.
But then Konstantin showed up in Salem, and one of the times that John and I confronted him about Maggie, he mentioned his hometown of Aria. And it all unraveled from there.

Yes, yes, yes, John! Now do you remember?

I don’t remember! I don’t, I don’t, I don’t. But damn it, I have always had this feeling in my gut.

I hope that feeling eats you alive! And as for me, I will not rest until I get my revenge. You know, you should have killed me that day, huh? But instead you chose to murder my daughter in cold blood and for that Make no mistake. I will make you pay

So now you’re detaining me in my own home Damn it, Michaels, I could make one call and have you fired.

The secretary cannot fire a detective, only the police commissioner can. Just tell me where Stefan is and I’ll go.

Oh, for the hundredth time, I don’t know. And if I did, I’d haul his ass down here because talking to you is a colossal waste of time. Face facts, Xander Cook shot you, not my brother.

Stefan shot me, he pulled the trigger.

And what proof do you have of that? There was an eyewitness at the crime.

That would be me. I saw Stefan shoot me.

I’m not a little kid, you know.

You’re a minor.

So that means I’m allowed no voice?

Not one that loud.

Listen, Tate wasn’t doing anything wrong when he came to see me last night. He didn’t break in. I let him in. Me. I did.

Okay, settle down.

I’m telling you the truth. Why won’t you just listen to me?

Holly. She’s, she’s here to see me.

Oh, my God, there you are. Honey, what were you thinking? I’ve been worried sick.

That’s it, that girl’s done enough. I’m gonna go talk to her right now.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Nicole’s here.

I came to see Tate. I need to talk to him.

Honey, now is not the time.

Well, when is the time, Mom? When it’s too late?

You haven’t even been medically cleared to leave the house yet.

Oh, God.

Jada, thank you for calling.

Honey, we are going home. Now. I will send for someone to pick up your car later.

Thanks again, Jada.

Oh, you pulled that out of your ass. How can you prove you saw Stefan and not Xander?

Once I find your brother, you’re gonna have the proof.

You have nothing. This is a ridiculous theory.

Oh, I have my word. And that means something. I’m a detective and a Navy SEAL.

Whose brain has been scrambled so many times it could be served up with toast.

I will find Stefan. And when I do, I’m gonna take down every dirty bastard That’s involved in this mess.

That was not a good move on Holly’s part.

No, but I wish to hell that I had a chance to talk to her face to face.

Hey.

Hey. So, I have news from the DA’s office. EJ has decided not to press charges.

Thank God.

Okay, okay. So, he can go back to the halfway house.

Yes, he can, but he will be required to wear an ankle monitor to track his whereabouts.

So you can’t skip out again, Tate.

He won’t. He won’t.

And he’s not going to be there much longer.

And, uh, when Holly’s feeling better, maybe she can come visit me?

I wouldn’t count on it. The DA has also filed for a restraining order. You are not allowed within 100 yards of the DiMera mansion, Or Holly Jonas.

You chose to murder my daughter in cold blood!

John has always been afraid that he’d done unthinkable things in the past.

The man who went to Aria with me was not John, Marlena. The man we know today would never do something like that.

I know that. But you know as well as I do, that the truth would destroy him.

You knew?

John. My God.

You never said a word to me. But you told my wife.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Claire: Victor went to make business calls after everything he went through last night?

Victoria: It’s the way he is.

Claire: Will he rest?

Victoria: Yeah, of course, when he’s ready. But no one can ever force him to do what he doesn’t wanna do.

Claire: He really is fearless, isn’t he? It’s not just for show. I mean, the way that he faced down jordan last night, and her gun, in that dark alley, and then offered himself up as her hostage?

Victoria: God only knows what she would have done to him if nick hadn’t shown up and tazed her.

Claire: Well, at least she’s locked in that dungeon that she meant for your father.

Victoria: It’s poetic justice in a way, don’t you think?

Claire: It is. I just– I don’t really know how to feel about him. Obviously, I’m relieved that he’s okay.

Victoria: But?

Claire: But I know I shouldn’t care and I don’t understand why I do. But victor wouldn’t leave her locked up in that basement indefinitely. I mean, it’s just until he can contact the authorities and they’ll take her into custody, right?

Kyle: Thanks for coming. It was nice to meet you. We’ll be in touch. Well, I guess we can cross nanny contender number five off our list.

Summer: Honestly, I feel really bad for her. She was nice. She was well-qualified. Lovely with harrison.

Kyle: Even when he just sat there pouting and scowling at her.

Summer: When he bothered looking at her at all. I wish we knew when linda was gonna come back. She and harrison are such great buddies.

Kyle: Yeah, from what she’d said about her mother’s surgery, it doesn’t sound like we can expect her back anytime soon.

Summer: So, what do we do? Just keep having the agency send us potential new nannies for harrison to be grumpy about? I mean, we both know what the actual problem is, since he keeps on saying the same thing after every interview.

Kyle: Why can’t mommy just come home?

Sally: Wow. Did I just tell you to fight harder for what you have? That was really presumptuous of me. I have a tendency to blurt. Sorry.

Audra: No, no, no. No, it’s okay. Don’t be. It looks like you’ve done your share of fighting for relationships in your life. You know, and I appreciate your strong take on how I should handle this mess that I’m going through with tucker.

Sally: Well, I hope it helps. It’s just hilarious. I’m sorry that me, of all people, is actually giving relationship advice.

Audra: That means you’re no newer at this than I am. Good to know. You know, I– I’m usually pretty decisive. But now, I’ve been going back and forth between should i fight for tucker or should i walk away more times than I can count?

Sally: Yeah, been there done that, believe me. At some point, if you have like a spare month or two, I can give you the whole adam newman versus nick newman story.

Audra: I look forward to hearing that. You know, but in the meantime, fight for him might be exactly the advice I needed to hear at exactly the right time.

Sally: Well, I hope it helps. But seriously, consider yourself warned. I’m not always right.

Audra: Thanks for listening, sally.

Sally: Mm-hmm. Anytime.

Audra: That goes for you, too.

Adam: Sally spectra and audra charles alone together at the same table. Wow, this is a little, uh…

Sally: Surprising?

Adam: I was gonna say scary, but okay, surprising’s fine. I, uh, didn’t even know the two of you knew each other.

Sally: We’ve met, but we’ve never really had a conversation.

Audra: Yeah, until now. And it turns out it was long overdue.

Adam: Yeah? Why is that?

Sally: Well, you wouldn’t believe how much audra and i have in common.

Tucker: Uh, no, no.

Ashley: Oh, what?

Tucker: What am I doing here? This is not working. At dot’s an ordinary pretzel just isn’t enough.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Ashley: Well, I have to disagree. I mean, on my side of things, I think that kiss was working quite well, and I hate to tell you, but from your side of things, I think it was working quite well, too.

Tucker: I don’t know what’s going on with you.

Ashley: You want me to clarify?

Tucker: Stop. Ashley, listen, listen to me.

Ashley: What?

Tucker: Just listen to me.

Ashley: Mm-hmm?

Tucker: Uh… no matter how I look at this, it’s problematic. Um…

Ashley: It’s problematic?

Tucker: Yes.

Ashley: Okay. Like, in what world is any of this a downside? Like, where’s the downside to this? Tell me.

Tucker: Well, if you’re actually just setting me up for something, you can forget about that because, of course, I’m not gonna fall for it. If, however, you are going through something, if you’re dealing with something here, emotional or– or psychological.

Ashley: Oh, boy.

Tucker: I would feel remiss if I didn’t try to help you in any way I could, but you’d have to be honest with me first.

Ashley: Maybe there’s a third option.

Tucker: Which is?

Ashley: I’m being 100% sincere. I’m trying very, very hard to give you exactly what you said you’ve been wanting all along.

Tucker: No.

Ashley: Come on.

Tucker: No, I’m sorry. I don’t believe you. I can’T. You’re either lying to me or you’re lying to yourself.

Ashley: I’m not lying to myself.

Tucker: Yes, you are. As long as it’s one or the other, I can’t help you.

Adam: You know, come to think of it, of course you two have a lot in common. I mean, two high-powered businesswomen, both of whom were fired from newman media for doing absolutely nothing to deserve it. I mean, if that is not worth bonding over, I don’t know what it is.

Sally: Do you want to hear another one?

Adam: I would love to.

Sally: Audra and I are both involved with complicated men who aren’t exactly popular or appreciated in genoa city.

Audra: Yeah, or in several other cities for that matter, but let’s not go there.

Adam: Well, I don’t think I’m comfortable being compared to tucker mccall.

Audra: I wasn’t trying to insult you, adam. Okay, I’m just saying that the two of you are… complicated.

Adam: Okay, well, I can’t argue with that. But after going head-to-head with tucker mccall, I still think we’re very different animals.

Audra: Yeah, very.

Sally: Okay, excuse me. Audra and I were kind of in the middle of bonding, so…

Adam: You know what? You’re right. I don’t have any business interfering, so just forget what I said.

Sally: Consider it forgotten.

Audra: Uh, you know what? I have to head back to the athletic club. Adam.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Audra: Thank you so much, um, for your advice. I’ll definitely consider it.

Sally: Keep me posted.

Audra: Yeah, you’ll be the first to hear.

Adam: So, what was the advice about?

Kyle: What’s the chance that harrison’s playing us?

Summer: I was just thinking the same thing.

Kyle: He probably thinks that if he rejects every candidate for the nanny position, he’ll force the issue, and then mommy has to come home, right?

Summer: I’ll bet that is his plan. I swear, he is as smart and as stubborn as his father. And, you know, I get it. I– I miss him, too. But we can’t let him take control over the situation, either.

Kyle: No, without a doubt. I mean, this is hardly the first time that he’s made it clear he wants his mommy to come home. He talks about it all the time.

Summer: What do you tell him?

Kyle: Well, I reassure him that just because his parents aren’t together and his mother has a new place to live, that she’ll always love him and be there for him.

Summer: Thanks for that. And it’s true on both counts.

Kyle: Unfortunately, that doesn’t satisfy him. So, I have to remind him that even if his mother were to move home, she still has a very successful and busy career, just like daddy does. And that he needs someone to pick him up after school and be here for him while we’re working.

Summer: Well, I mean, we both know that my moving back here is not an option. And harrison’s clearly going to be very resistant to any potential nannies that we introduce him to.

Kyle: Yeah, if I remember correctly, though, it took him some time to warm up to linda.

Summer: Right, because she was wearing boring socks.

Kyle: But now he loves her. Okay, that brings us back to our original bottom line. We can’t let him manipulate us. We have to make it clear to him that this is our choice and not his.

Summer: The choice should be relatively easy ’cause we’ve met some great candidates already, but we’ve gotta remember that harrison is the one that’s gonna be spending the most time with them, so… let’s at least give him a vote.

Kyle: Okay, fair enough. But as long as we make it clear to him that not liking someone because they have boring socks is not an option.

Harrison: Mom! Schwarzkopf

Summer: Hey, what happened, sweetie?

Kyle: Yeah, did you have a bad dream?

Summer: Is that right? You had a bad dream?

Kyle: What was it about?

Harrison: A lady I didn’t know came and took me away.

Summer: That sounds really scary. But hey, look, it was just a bad dream. It wasn’t real. You’re safe. You always will be, okay?

Kyle: We’d never let anyone come in here and take you away from us. You know that, right?

Summer: Hey, is this ’cause linda’s out of town and we’ve got to find you a new sitter?

Kyle: Harrison, I know it’s hard, but we need someone to pick you up after school and take you to all the fun lessons and things you like to do.

Summer: And we promise we’re gonna find somebody really nice, okay?

Harrison: If you can’t stay, I want the older linda or no one.

Kyle: Um… hey, I know something that’ll make all this better. Three things. Number one, we don’t talk about anymore linda’s the rest of the day.

Summer: You know what? I told your dad and I’m gonna tell you, you two are just as stubborn as each other. What’s number two.

Kyle: Number two is we go check out the bookstore. I hear they have a new… uh, what’s it called?

Summer: The one with the kid that, uh, time jumps. I cannot wait to read that with you.

Kyle: Yes, and number three, we head from there to crimson lights to get some hot chocolate with extra marshmallows.

Summer: Yeah, well, it’s gotta be marshmallows, right, harrison?

Kyle: Of course. What’s the point of hot chocolate without marshmallows, right? Yeah, mm-hmm. For all three of us.

Summer: Yeah, all three of us.

Victoria: Dad is– he’s tough. He’s not cruel. He knows what he’s doing. He wouldn’t leave her or anyone else to rot in some godforsaken basement.

Claire: Even if he thought they deserved it?

Victoria: Even then.

Claire: He really would do anything for you all, wouldn’t he?

Victoria: My father would do anything to protect his family, which now includes you, his granddaughter.

Claire: Nikki and victor newman’s granddaughter. That’s me. It’s who I am. I have parents and aunts and uncles and cousins. And jordan’s not out there creeping around anymore. Are we really all safe finally?

Victoria: We really are. There’s nothing that jordan can do to hurt anyone. You know, we were all so scared for such a long time, but now it’s over. It’s over. It’s kind of unbelievable, isn’t it?

Claire: You mean we… can come and go as we please and we don’t have to look over our shoulders every second? And we don’t have to run for cover every time we hear a strange noise in the house?

Victoria: Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.

Claire: So could we…

Victoria: Could we…

Claire: Go somewhere? It doesn’t have to be anywhere fancy. It’s just… I was at the jail and then the hospital and now here not being able to go anywhere. It’s just– the thought of going out into the world around people out from under this dark cloud. It’s been a long time. My whole life, really.

Victoria: Yes.

Claire: Seriously? You think it’s a good idea?

Victoria: I think it’s a great idea.

Sally: That was a nice surprise. I might have just found a new friend. And let’s face it, I do not have many of those.

Adam: Sally. Proceed with caution.

Sally: You do realize who you’re talking to, right? If I knew the first thing about proceeding with caution…

Adam: You and I, we would not be together. Okay, point taken. All right, well, let me be more specific. Proceed with caution where audra charles is concerned.

Sally: Why would you say that? I like her.

Adam: She’s probably not my biggest fan. After all, I’m the one that passed along the incriminating emails that the abbotts used to tank tucker and she could have easily ended up collateral damage.

Sally: Okay, but what does that have to do with my being friends with her?

Adam: Because she might have an agenda.

Sally: Or… we might just get each other.

Adam: Will you please just be careful about sharing information that she might be probing for? It’s pretty safe to say that anything she hears about me from you is gonna get straight back to tucker.

Sally: Okay. But don’t sell her short. I mean, she’s pretty savvy. You know, I’m sure that she can recognize a well-played business move when she sees one and she might even respect you sharing emails with the abbotts when they thought that tucker was plotting to take over jabot. And honestly, I did not get the sense that she was seeking any kind of payback.

Adam: Okay, well then what was the advice that she thanked you for on the way out?

Sally: It was personal. It was about a relationship issue that she’s been dealing with that had absolutely nothing to do with you, surprising as that may be.

Adam: Okay, well now that we’ve straightened that out, how about we change the subject? Because I actually, I tracked you down for a reason.

Sally: Is… is it about your dad?

Adam: Uh, no. Actually, I’m happy to report he’s home. I mean, he’s exhausted, but he’s safe and sound.

Sally: Adam, that’s great. I know that you’ve been really worried about him.

Adam: Yes, I have been. And it’s a relief that I don’t have to worry about that anymore. I mean, until something else comes up with him.

Sally: Okay, and connor? Any updates?

Adam: So, chelsea and I, we have another session with dr. Alcott today. And I wanted to let you know before I leave.

Sally: Well, look, I know it’s a lot, but… I mean, hopefully that means progress. You know, maybe it will alleviate some of your concerns.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Well, it might add to them. I gotta say, chelsea and I feel pretty helpless. And connor’s very confused.

Sally: You’re doing all the right things, adam. You did not have the help you needed as a kid, and it changed your whole life. You are being the best parent that you can be.

Tucker: Ah, let’s go bourbon. Neat. Double.

Ashley: Oh, god, it’s you again. Why don’t you just give up? You don’t have a chance. I’ve got him right where I want him.

Tucker: What did she say to you just now?

Audra: That she has you right where she wants you. What the hell would make her think that, tucker?

Tucker: She kissed me again and… she thinks it meant something. I would’ve called yesterday.

Tucker: Whatever is going on with ashley, it is not good.

Audra: Tell me the truth. Did you return the kiss?

Tucker: No, I pulled back and said, “not happening.” And it’s not.

Audra: You sure about that?

Tucker: Audra, can we not– let’s not have this conversation right now, please.

Audra: I think we need to.

Tucker: I don’t think we need to. I think we’ve talked about ashley more times than I care to count. Everything that woman does just feeds your suspicions.

Audra: Because everything she does is suspicious, tucker. What– what do you expect me to do?

Tucker: Ignore her.

Audra: Yeah, just the same way you’re ignoring her? You know, I walked through the door and there she is, in my face.

Tucker: Yeah, I’m sorry. And I wanted to say I’m sorry about earlier. And you’re sweet, I– I didn’t mean all that. And I shouldn’t have just stormed out. I apologize.

Audra: You know, if we were on a jet to paris right now, she would be the furthest thing from my mind. But instead, we are here and i am getting blindsided by your ex-wife looking rather pleased with herself. You know, can I ask you something else?

Tucker: Mm-hmm?

Audra: What did she say to you before that damn kiss?

Tucker: She said… now, you see, that’s what I’m talking about. It doesn’t make any difference what she said. In her state, it doesn’t matter what she says or does. It means nothing. And I’m trying so hard right now to let all this go. Audra, I really am. Can you?

Audra: I will if she will. But when your ex-wife tells me I don’t stand a chance and that she has you right where she wants you, I don’t know how the hell I’m supposed to react. I don’t know what I’m supposed to think.

Tucker: Just think of the bigger picture here. I think she’s suffering some kind of severe psychological break. She is not herself. She needs help.

Adam: I’m not even sure there is a sure-fire solution for what connor’s going through. I mean, the more that I read about ocd, the more overwhelmed that I feel. Apparently, very few professionals even know what it is. And it can go unrecognized for years.

Sally: Well, then it is a good thing that the people at connor’s school did recognize it.

Adam: Yes, I am grateful for that. I mean, assuming that it makes a difference.

Sally: An early diagnosis can make a big difference.

Adam: God, I hope so. Ah, I gotta get going. I’m grabbing some things for connor that he asked for. Just, um, comfort stuff that he said he needed. I want to make sure to get it to him before our session to see if it eases his mood.

Sally: Okay, we’ll keep me posted. And please try and stay positive, okay? Connor is a good kid with a great dad who is so ready to do whatever it takes to help him, okay? Just keep reminding yourself of that, will you, please?

Adam: Thank you for that. And for always being right there with your support. I love so much that you’re back in my life.

Sally: You know that little exchange that we had earlier when you took off to the ranch?

Adam: Of course. But that was a rushed moment. And I mean, I was a wreck and you were trying to help me through it, so don’t worry. I will not hold you to that.

Sally: Yeah, well, I was as surprised as you were at how easily it just slipped out. But you know what? Please, hold me to it. Because it wasn’t just a momentary slip of the tongue to make you feel better in a rushed moment. I… I mean it. I do. Love you.

Adam: I do, too. Love you. Want the power of 5 serum benefits in 1?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. If you think you have dupuytren’s contracture,

Ashley: I don’t like this. This is gonna make things worse. I don’t think we should trust you. You don’t really have a choice. You have to be stopped! I– I think I do! I– I need to takeover.

Audra: Forgive my lack of compassion, but that perfectly poised, incredibly sure-of-herself woman who just verbally assaulted me over there didn’t exactly strike me as a psychological wreck.

Tucker: And your point is?

Audra: My point is that you want a reason to sympathize with her to humor her. You know, that performance she’s putting on is to reel you back in. Hello?

Tucker: And you think I’ll just be reeled back in because I’m, uh, a sucker? I have no judgment about this.

Audra: Maybe you just want to play hero or something.

Tucker: Oh, god. I couldn’t play hero in this situation even if I wanted to. She might hide it well in public, but I can read ashley like a book that I’ve memorized. She needs professional help.

Audra: You know, if you’re not qualified to diagnose her, let alone help her, what makes you so sure she needs psychological help? Based on what, some look you saw in her eyes last night?

Tucker: Yes, the look I saw in her eyes last night, the way she’s been acting, her distorted memory of what happened between us in paris. That is not the woman I fell in love with.

Audra: Oh, my god.

Tucker: Past tense, audra.

Audra: I am so stupid.

Tucker: What? What now?

Audra: I’m just thinking, what the hell is wrong with me? I– I can’t believe I allowed myself to get into this vulnerable position with you again. I– like what am I doing?

Tucker: Come here. Listen, I adore you. I want the world with you. What’s going on with ashley is a completely separate issue.

Summer: So right here.

Kyle: All right, I’m gonna put our order in.

Summer: Okay.

Victoria: So, how are you doing? Are you ready for this?

Claire: Ready as I’ll ever be. It’s really weird being back out in the world like a normal person.

Victoria: Well, that’s because you are normal. And after everything you’ve been through, I mean, you’re better than normal. If you want to go, though, we can go.

Claire: No. I’m gonna have to do this sooner or later. I can’t hide for the rest of my life. Besides, I used to come here when I worked for your mom. And I was pretending to be normal. I like it here. Look, no one’s even staring at me. It’s kind of exhilarating.

Victoria: Yeah. Now, listen, um, I know we said we would take this slow and you can say no if you’re not ready for it, but since we’re here, how would you like to say hello to one of your new family members? I’m adding downy unstopables to my wash.

Victoria: Summer.

Summer: Aunt victoria.

Victoria: Hi. Oh, so good to see you.

Summer: I’ve been so worried about you. How are you doing?

Victoria: I’m better. Thank you. Summer, I wanted you to meet my daughter, claire. Claire, this is summer. She’s nick’s daughter.

Summer: I– I heard some of the story from my dad. And I read in the paper that victoria and cole’s daughter was alive, but this is…

Victoria: It’s a miracle.

Summer: Exactly, I mean, this has got to be so overwhelming for you.

Claire: It’s a lot. But it’s also really nice. I was just saying to victoria– mom. That it actually feels kind of normal, if that makes any sense.

Summer: Yeah, it makes perfect sense. I mean, if there is anything normal about being a newman. But I think that you’ll like it when you get used to it. Welcome to the family, cuz.

Claire: Thank you, cuz.

Summer: Oh, this is my stepson, harrison.

Claire: Hey, harrison. It’s so nice to meet you.

Summer: Unfortunately, he’s not in a great mood today.

Claire: That’s okay. I have those days all the time. Hey, what are you drawing? Is that a squirrel? Do you know how to get a squirrel to like you? Act like a nut. So you like squirrels.

Summer: And ducks. He likes ducks.

Claire: Oh, ducks are really cool. Ah, but they’re gone now, huh? Well, that’s okay. They always come back. They just go south for the winter. Do you know why? It’s too far to walk. I know, I’m hilarious.

Victoria: Where are those jokes coming from?

Claire: There were some excellent books in the kids ward.

Victoria: Oh.

Claire: I have about a million knock-knock jokes too.

Summer: Oh, you are gonna get along great with my dad. He is the king of stupid dad jokes.

Claire: Nick has a silly streak. I had no idea.

Victoria: Just wait until you see him dance.

Summer: Ooh.

Claire: Well, I will have a ton more jokes for you the next time I see you. That’s a promise.

Victoria: See, I told you. You really do have a way with children.

Kyle: What’s going on here? Oh, wait a second. Where did harrison’s scowl go?

Summer: Oh, I think he misplaced it once claire showed up.

Harrison: Claire’s funny.

Kyle: Oh, apparently so. Hi, I’m kyle abbott.

Claire: Claire grace.

Kyle: Well, it’s a pleasure to finally meet a stranger who makes my son smile.

Tucker: Ashley is no threat to you, audra. None. I don’t know how many times I have to tell you that.

Audra: Just once, if you meant it.

Tucker: Okay, you want to know what ashley said to me before she kissed me? She repeated her offer to give me everything that I claimed I ever wanted. All I had to do was say yes. I had to give up the notion that she had a problem. I had to dump you, of course. Uh, and get back together with her. There it is, all laid out before me, mine for the taking. And where am I? In here and where am I in here? With you. You, exactly where i want to be. What’s going on with ashley has nothing to do with love. Has nothing to do with romance. It has to do with wanting to help someone I care about. Doing the right thing, which, as you know, is not my forte. But I swear to god, that’s all this is.

Audra: You really can’t see it, can you?

Tucker: See what?

Audra: That she’s sucking you back in.

Tucker: No, she’s not sucking me back in.

Audra: You know, you went from telling me that we are a team, a power couple destined to be together to essentially telling me she’s an option.

Tucker: No, that is not what I’m telling you. I’m telling you that’s what she claimed.

Audra: You know, I was talking to someone today who advised me to fight for us. But I can’t fight this. Especially when I’d be fighting all on my own.

Tucker: Wait a minute.

Audra: Good luck. Let go!

I have type 2 diabetes, but I manage it well

Chelsea: Connor, I know you’re bored, but it shouldn’t be much longer. Dr. Alcott will see us in a few minutes.

Adam: Hey, buddy, I brought that stuff that you wanted from home.

Chelsea: Thanks, dad. That’s awesome. Should we see what’s in the bag?

Adam: Yeah, I made sure to pack that hat that you wanted. You wanna put it on? Okay. Well, I have a better idea. How about you tell us what’s going on? Look, there’s probably a lot going on in your head right now, and that’s gotta be stressful, but your mom and I are ready to listen, so whatever you want to say.

Connor: I hate this. I hate the doctor. I hate being here. I hate myself.

[ Knock on door ]

Audra: Go away.

Tucker: Audra, I just have one thing to ask you. It’s a crucial question. Please.

Audra: What is it?

Tucker: Well, you said that you’re done with me. I just want to know what you mean by that exactly.

Audra: What part of I’m done are you struggling with?

Tucker: Are you done with everything? Or just me? You’re done with me? Okay. Well, what about everything else? What about glissade? I hope we’re not going to let ashley ruin that for us, too.

Kyle: So you two are cousins, but you never knew each other existed. I mean, it seems impossible. And yet…

Victoria: It’s a dream come true.

Kyle: I mean, to have that amazing loss, and then… it’s incredible.

Summer: With a whole family who can’t wait to get to know you.

Claire: And same to you. Harrison, is this for me?

Victoria: Aw.

Claire: Aw, that’s gorgeous. I love it, thank you.

Kyle: Oh, hey, buddy. Come here.

Ashley: Hey. Hi, you guys.

Kyle: Hey, ashley.

Ashley: Hi. How’s kindergarten? Oh, wait. What grade are you in? I cannot believe how big you are. I mean, pretty soon you’re going to be bigger than your dad. So cute.

Kyle: Everything all right, ashley?

Ashley: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is now. Yeah. Anyway, I wish I could stay and chat to this one, especially, but I’m going to get a cocoa. And then, you know, I gotta run. Okay, I’ll see you guys. Bye.

Kyle: See you later.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless.

Ashley: Hey, bro. What’s up?

Billy: Hey, sis. Everything okay?

Summer: I’m going to do some digging. See if I can come up with the parts of the story that victoria didn’t share with us and we’ll go from there.

Jordan: Oh, oh, thank god.

Nikki: Sorry to burst your bubble, jordan, but this isn’t a rescue party.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Ok yes. Hello. This is dr. Portia robinson. I’m trying to locate a dr. Paul braddock. Okay. I’ll hold. Dr. Robinson, you wanted these test results right away? I can take over. Uh, thank you, sarah. You sure? Okay. Yes, yes. I’m here. Yes, I understand dr. Braddock has retired, but he was part of the med-psych education faculty. Shouldn’t you be able to reach him? Thank you for looking into it. You can call me back at this number. Well, I guess I was being a little overconfident, thinking we could just drive down to maryland and get answers. This dr. Braddock, he’s hard to find. We’ll track him down eventually, and then we’ll find out why he misdiagnosed you with schizophrenia. Okay, now, go on. What, are you trying to get rid of us now? Well, do you or do you not have physical therapy? I do. All right, well, get to moving. Best not to argue with the lady. No, no, we probably won’t argue. Bye, aunt stella. See you. Thank you for this. You know, that’s the third time you’ve said that. Well, you’ve got better things to do than proofread my copy. No, I’m happy to, dad. Unfortunately, my keyboard aim isn’t what it used to be. Yeah, I can tell. What — what’s that supposed to be? Uh, “went about his way.” Yeah. Yeah, no, that makes a lot more sense now. Yeah. You know, I can retype this for you, dad. Oh, no. It’ll take me two minutes. It’ll take much longer than that, and you’re a busy man. My son, the doctor. No. Uh —

[ Knock on door ] Yeah. Come on in. Hi, finn. Hi.Hey. What can I do for you? I just got the radiology report from heather webber’s mri and angiography. Mm. Oh, I think this is my cue to make my exit. Thank you. Fourth time’s the charm?

[ Chuckles ] I just can’t help myself, I guess. No. Good to see you. You, too. I take it there’s something interesting in the report? You could say that. Nina: Un. Believable. Thank you. Oh. You didn’t mean that as a compliment. Far from it, alexis. That follow-up piece you put in today’s paper about the incident on the docks? Yeah. What about it? Well, it was an outrage, that’s “what about it.” Well, like you said, I ran the piece. I didn’t write it. So? So, that’s how it works in local news. I understand how it works, alexis. But it was a smear job on sonny. And — can — can you pay attention? Sonny knows that I am publishing this newspaper, and the last thing I want is to antagonize him. Then quit. Better yet, why don’t you run the paper and stop antagonizing me?

[ Gasps ] I’m gonna break her kneecaps. Whose kneecaps? Did I say that out loud? No.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Ah, D.A. Scorpio. Just the man I wanted to see. Kevin: Can you state your full name for me? Heather grant moore taylor — no, baker, then taylor — all right, all right, maybe that wasn’t a fair question. I — webber. How about this? What’s today’s date?

[ Scoffs ] March something. March something? Yeah, well, they’re all — the days are just blending together. Who’s our president?

[ Sighs ] The guy with the — with the aviators. I can’t focus! Don’t you understand? It’s too painful to look at him. All I can see is his brother. I wish I could report that heather is in her right mind, but — hey. Pfft. Sane or not sane, I don’t really give a damn. She’s being transferred today. Look, I’d be thrilled to see the last of heather webber, believe me, but unfortunately, she’s not going anywhere. See?


Can you hand me another box? No. Please? No. I’m not going to help you do the very thing that I don’t want you to do and the thing that doesn’t even have to happen. Joss, we’ve been over this. Yes, and it still makes no sense. You love it in port charles. I do. And you love me. Even more. Then how can you leave? I would ask you to come with me, but I know you need to stay close to your family. Yeah. I need my family, and they need me, but… I need you, too. I’m not joking, nina. Why don’t you run the invader the way you see fit and leave me out of it? But you can’t, can you? ‘Cause you don’t know how to edit a newspaper. Nor do I have any desire to. Then let me do my job. Here you go. Oh, sorry. I didn’t realize you were in with someone. Ooh, what does she have you writing? Nina! Call it quality control. I don’t want tomorrow’s paper bearing any resemblance to today’S. That is psychotic, let alone obsessive. It’s an article on the police department outreach to kids ages 8 to 14. Scandalous. Uh, they do field trips, athletics, arts and crafts. My son chase is one of the volunteer officers. Oh. “Oh.” Uh — it’s highly unprofessional. I mean, look at this, with all the red marks, the cross-outs, the typos? I mean, please. And why didn’t you electronically submit this? You know something? If you want the edition out by tomorrow, you need to get out of my office. Right now. Out! Whatever. “Whatever.”

[ Sighs ] These are heather’s mri images. Uh, what are we looking at exactly here? Well, this is the reason she isn’t getting discharged today, not in this condition. Okay, while I love a good guessing game, I have a feeling I’m not needed here, so good luck. I think I’m going to need it.[ Chuckles ] Oh, dr. Enoch, thank you so much for making the time. Oh, the co-chief calls, I answer. Can somebody please tell us what’s going on? Um… you can actually speak in front of mayor collins. She holds heather webber’s healthcare proxy. I do? That’s what the paperwork says. Dear god — I suppose I might be the nearest thing she has left to family. Scary thought. Terrifying. Uh, look, um, can we get back to the matter at hand? I have citizens to protect. Ah. See these orbs of brightness? They suggest metallosis, specifically cobalt poisoning. And how do you get that? Fractured or slowly degrading hip replacement hardware. So heather’s hip replacement is poisoning her? Well, to confirm, we’ll need blood tests, a tox screen, and a panel for heavy metals. Already ordered. But that’s the working theory, yes. The syndrome’s accompanied by a spectrum of neuropsychiatric symptoms. To that end, have you noticed any changes, however subtle, in heather’s behavior in recent years?


Physical therapist: Good. Good. As you get stronger, we can increase these exercise weights. This is going to help your quads and hamstrings. And we’re all for that, aren’t we, son? How many reps, doc? Well, as many as you can tolerate, as long as you’re pain level doesn’t go above a three.

[ Grunting ] Okay. I know you have other patients. Do you mind if I stay at it for a minute? Uh, you keep an eye on him? Oh, absolutely. All right, go for it. Thanks. All right. Yeah.

[ Grunts ] There you go. Come on. Thanks for staying, dad. You know, I love it. Watching you work so hard. I’m proud of you, son. Well, I’m proud of you. I mean confronting dr. Braddock when I know you had reservations. Oh. [ Chuckles ] That. Well, have you thought about what you’re going to say to him when you’re finally face to face? Curtis, if he’s the same psychiatrist I remember, it won’t be anything nice. Hey, it’s dr. Finn. Anything on those orders dr. Robinson put through? Great. Thanks. Finn: Heather’s test results should be in. Oh, let me look them up. Okay. Here we go. Mm. My preliminary diagnosis is confirmed. Melatonin?

[ Sighs ] Metallosis. So, what now? Well, the failing hip that’s poisoning the patient needs to be replaced immediately. Well, can’t the federal pen at the women’s division do it? Robert. Well, c-come on. She’s a homicidal maniac. Yes, but now we’re learning that there may be a medical reason for that. She’s always been a bit loony. Yes, loony, right. I mean, she did crazy things, like, I don’t know, once, she tried to give somebody lsd, and she ended up drinking it herself, you know? She’s not a murderer. She is definitely not a serial killer. I mean, that’s just… new. Portia: Look, I’m not a fan of heather webber, but this is about human suffering. I checked with dr. Randolph, and she agrees with me. If we fail to treat heather webber, we could be opening ourselves up for an investigation, possible liability. Oh, we have got to let this go, robert, I mean, especially if it poses a risk to the hospital. Right. To think I missed breakfast in bed because of this.

[ Telephone rings ] Dr. Robinson here. Can you say that again? Thank you for getting back to me. Well, I’m glad to know that we’re still good at that. Did you think we wouldn’t be? No, it just — it’s nice to know, that’s all. I wish we could stay in bed all day. Well, why can’t we?

[ Sighs ] Because I have to pack. You’re still leaving? I have to, joss. Stop saying that. You don’t have to. You’re making a choice to do this. It doesn’t feel like a choice to me, okay? I’ve realized I don’t know sonny as well as I thought I did. Maybe that’s how you feel about jason now that he’s suspected of shooting dante. Jason did not shoot dante, okay? That, I know. What he did do is wrapped that bandage around him and called 911. You know how I know that? Because you two are very similar. You’re both good, decent human beings. Just like I don’t understand how you and jason are so loyal to someone like sonny. I was loyal to sonny, but I’m also afraid of him. Maybe not him so much, but who I’m becoming because of him. And maybe you should be, too. I am so sorry about nina. She doesn’t know. I don’t care what she knows or doesn’t know. She had no right to talk to you that way. It was callous, and it was rude. Maybe. But… as your publisher, nina’s allowed to set standards. And it’s become clear to me today that I’m no longer able to meet them. I disagree. Pretending otherwise does me no favors. Alexis, please allow me my dignity. This will be my last article for the invader.

[ Sighs ] Where are you going with that? Uh, to make the corrections that nina wanted. And then I’ll submit my final copy electronically, just like all your other writers do. Thank you. The pleasure’s been mine.


So, dad, I know how you feel about dr. Braddock now, but what were your impressions of him in the beginning? Dr. Braddock, he was — he was kind, at first. He was compassionate and understanding. Yeah. When I told him, “I feel like everything’s against me,” and I meant that — money. Work. Family obligations. He was sympathetic, and he assured me it wasn’t my fault. A chemical imbalance. The way he put it, son, way he put it was there was a part of my brain that was fighting itself. Right? So that was an explanation. It gave me relief, an explanation as to why everything was going to hell. But I didn’t have insurance. So when he prescribed me pills I couldn’t afford, I was out there cobbling that money together. Yeah, don’t ask me how I did it. I won’T. Anything to make me better able to take care of you, your mama, and your brother. But them pills, ooh, man, curtis, those pills, they — they made me rigid. I-I couldn’t play. I could hardly feel my fingers. And — and my mouth was so dry, the reed just stuck to it. Did you tell the doctor? That’s when he offered me those shock treatments, at the bargain price of $800 a pop. Get out of here. I ain’t kidding. So what’d you do? I blew up on him, that’s what I did. I vented my anger, and I vented my frustration. How did dr. Braddock take it? Not well. Metallosis? That sounds like something you get when your tongue freezes to the flagpole. Dr. Enoch believes the condition is what’s causing your symptoms. My symptoms? Yes, both physical and mental. Wait, are you saying that this poison is making me think things a-and do things that I normally wouldn’t? It’s a very real possibility that the metallosis has altered your perception and behavior.

[ Gasps ] No doctor has ever told me anything but that I’m crazy. How long has the pain in your hip been acute? Um, let’s see. Well, I’m not sure, but it feels like an eternity. Well, we would surgically remove the defective apparatus and replace it with a current model. You mean like buying a new car? You just junk the old hip and replace it with this year’s model? As with any surgeries, um, there are significant risks. Oh. A standard hip replacement takes approximately two hours. Yours may be double that. Okay. You will be under anesthesia and carefully monitored. Okay. However, in rare cases, patients experience complications from anesthesia. Complications meaning you never wake up? In very rare cases. But before we do the surgery, we’re going to start you on cobalt chelation therapy, which — yeah, excuse me, but c-could I — could I just have a minute? Thank you.

[ Monitor beeping ] I don’t understand what he’s saying. I mean, I hear the words, but all that “medicalese” just sounds like a lot of white noise. Do you know what he’s talking about? Uh, I-I think I do. Well, can — can you just figure it out for me, then, please? I mean, you’re my guardian now. No, heather, I-I’m not your guardian. It’s just in case you — you can’t make decisions for yourself, I’m in charge of your medical care. Well, as you can see, laura, I mean, I’m having a really hard time with that. You’re having a hard time with what exactly? With making decisions.

[ Exhales deeply ] I — there should be a will in my file, I think. Yes, yes, I-I’ve seen it. Okay. Short but sweet. You leave your entire estate to your grandson ace. Yeah, to ace. I mean, not that I have anything to leave. But I don’t want to leave him. So what do you think I should do, laura? I mean, do you think that I should have them take out my whole hip and put in a new one? Heather, it’s a personal choice. Please. Help me decide. I think you should do it.

[ Sighs ] Finn: You’re back. I changed my mind. About? Would you mind, uh, retyping this from — uh, tonight after work? I don’t mind typing it right now. Are you sure? Positive. Thank you. So, what was the verdict? Was alexis a fan? Alexis usually likes what I write. But I’ve decided that this will be my last article. Oh? How come? Newspaper gig just isn’t for me. Well, it’ll certainly free up some more time. It will. Maybe you can finish up that, uh, chaucer book you’ve been working on or, well, you always said you wanted to write a novel. Yeah, um, it’s on my list. Well, start scratching a few things off, will you? I mean, they say no time like the present. At least that’s what they say. The present, son, is all we’ve got. What’s your problem? “Port charles’ own red-headed mob lawyer. Shacking up with the district attorney.” I never said that. Well, your paper sure did.


Hi. Stella! I hope I’m not interrupting anything. Ah, nothing important. What can I do for you? Well, I was hoping to pick your brain. Pick away. Did you ever encounter a psychiatrist named dr. Paul braddock? He practiced out of baltimore, but from what I gather, he was fairly well known. You could say that. I had nothing to do with that. Is the invader not your publication? Ah. You seem to have forgotten that I have a new publisher, who has shoved a gossip columnist right down my throat. I haven’t seen anything about that. Well, you might want to start reading it. And I’m assuming that you’re going to print a retraction tomorrow. What do you want me to say? That you’re not a natural redhead?

[ Laughs mockingly ] I have something that you might be happier about. Thrill me. Nina has forbidden us to mention sonny at all. Nada, zip, not a word. So your number-one client is officially off-limits. My god. Does the woman have a single redeeming quality? You say it like I’m going to follow her orders. A lawyer can dream, can’t she? You mean a red-headed mob lawyer.

[ Chuckles, groans ] What if I said I would come with you? I’d say you were lying. To me, but mostly to yourself. Your family is way too important to you, and that’s a good thing. I wish I felt that way about mine. You’re important to me. It’s different. Yes, it’s different. I love my family. But I’m in love with you. And I love you, too. So much. You know I’ve never said that to anyone before. That’s why I want what’s best for you, and that can’t be me. Is it sonny that you’re worried about? Because I might be able to protect you. I can talk to my mom. She can talk to him. I know that they’re not together. I know that they’ve been through it, but I just — I have a feeling that he might still listen to her. What if it’s already too late?

[ Knock on door ] What if what’s too late?

[ Loud knocking on door ] I’ll get it. Nina. Looking for more backs to stab? Sorry. I’m fresh out. That was nice. It’s nice watching you work so hard, put all this work into your recovery. Pop, pop, don’t do that, okay? My recovery is quantifiable. Do my exercises, I’ll be back on my feet sooner. But that was not the same for you. You’re right. Our — our situations are different. Yes. And you know what that difference is? I ran and gave up. You didn’T. Working hard or hardly working? Ah, man, you know your — your nephew. Can’t stop, won’t stop. Were you able to locate dr. Braddock?

[ Sighs ] Auntie. Auntie, what’s wrong? I got good news and bad news. Which do you want first? Bad. Bad. Dr. Braddock died just before christmas.

[ Sighs ]Well, that’s, uh — yeah, hard to find the words to say, huh? Well, well, well. You won’t find me mourning the man. No, no one would expect you to, pop. Look, I knew. I knew all this searching stuff, it would lead to nothing. Auntie, you said you had some good news, too. The answers that you’ve been looking for are not hiding in baltimore. They are right upstairs in this hospital.


I just can’t believe how big he’s getting. Yeah, I know. Baby today, mayor of port charles tomorrow. You think he’ll follow in your footsteps, huh? Oh, I-I don’t know who he will grow up to be. Better your path than mine, that is for sure.

[ Sighs ] It all just went so wrong, laura. When? How? I mean besides this metallosis stuff. What happened to me? I don’t know, heather. I — you know, if it makes you feel any better, I feel like I’ve lived a few different lives, and — and sometimes, I can’t always connect the dots between them. Well, see, that’s exactly it. It’s so random, right? It’s just so disjointed. Sometimes I feel like I’m in free-fall. And the only thing worse than that fall itself is the ground rushing up to meet me. Heather, you know the upside to having gotten it all wrong? I didn’t think there was an upside. There’s still time for you to get it right. Is dex here? I don’t know. Dex, are you here? Hello. I was hoping that you would relay a message to sonny that I had no idea that the invader was going to run that story on him today. You know, I’ve only been publishing that newspaper for a very short time, so they don’t run anything by me, but I’m gonna — have you ever seen sonny read a newspaper? I have not. Mm. But he’s very well informed. He just gets his news through other means. Okay, great. So you’re in the clear. Goodbye. Hold on! A-are you — are you going somewhere? Uh, is sonny going somewhere? Are you accompanying him as his guard? First of all, that’s none of your business. Second of all, dex is through with sonny, kind of like how sonny’s through with you. You are your mother’s daughter. Oh, yes. Proud of it. Oh, I see what’s happening here. Dex, you broke up with sonny. And that can only mean you’re next, josslyn. I hate complaining. I really do. And yet — and yet the newspaper business is — how do I phrase this? Miserable? Yes. In general, nobody reads anymore. They scroll. Specifically, it’s this place. It’s this publisher. I’m dishing gossip to make nina reeves happy. Who am I? What have I become? That’s a rhetorical question? I’m telling you, I would take up the law again for free if it meant that I could get out from under this nasty job. Really? Well, in that case, I have a proposal for you, one that will get you out of this place and away from nina reeves for good. Semicolon should be a period. There are no semicolons in newspapers.

[ Chuckling ] Okay. Noted. Uh, here. Here’s the, uh, web address for the invader work site. You can post it there. Okay. And this is the password? Yeah. All right.

[ Keyboard clacking ] There you go. Your final article has been uploaded. Excellent. Think you can stick around, have some lunch with me? I know it’s not the metro court, but the turkey chili’s pretty decent. Thanks, but I think I’ll head home, try to squeeze in a nap before violet gets home from school. Yeah. Okay. Thank you again for this. And thank you for… everything. I’m not done quite yet, hamilton. Better not be. See you at home? See you at home, dad.


Hamilton finn. Hey, bodhan. Thought that unknown number might be you. Thanks for getting back to me. Where’d they send you this time? Wow. I heard all hell’s breaking loose there. Hey, well, look, I, uh — I realize my timing is terrible, so I will make it quick. Uh, my dad’s been diagnosed with als. Oh, thank you. I, um — I appreciate that. You know how it is. Uh, look, and I know the — the course of the disease varies with every patient, but it seems to be accelerating with him. And, man, you’re the best neurologist I ever worked with, so I just want to know if you have anything, you know? And I don’t — I don’t even know what I’m looking for. I’d take a little magic at this point, but I — yeah. No, I-I know the drill. Yeah, no. Look, go, uh — go save some lives and, um, stay safe, brother. I don’t want to take another hit piece like that gossip columnist just leveled at me. I’m a phenomenal lawyer. You’re not going to get any argument from me. I also hate to think that I’m the kind of person who cares what people think of me. But my reputation matters. And I don’t want anybody out there thinking that I only take cases for mob money. That’s not why I got into the law in the first place. Why did you? Well, I’m going to assume it’s for the same reasons that you got in, alexis, to be of service, to strive for justice, even if the definition of justice happens to vary a little bit between you and me. Do you want me to write a puff piece? No, no, I want — actually, I want — I just want you to zip it. Pay attention. Come work with me. As what, your receptionist? No. As my very esteemed every-other-day colleague. And — and if you’re very good and very nice to me, at some point soon, my partner. I think you’re forgetting the small matter of my disbarment. I’m not able to practice law anymore. Says who? The appellate division of the supreme court of the state of new york. And it was a swift and decisive ruling, I might add. And it’s a ruling I’m betting I can get overturned. Now that we’ve already acknowledged that you are a chip off the ol’ carly block, I bet the only secrets you really like are the ones you keep to yourself. Okay. That’s enough. Get out. No, no, no. What do you mean? Oh. You should really aim that question to your boyfriend. What is she talking about? Oh, don’t be shy, dex. Come on. Tell josslyn about the day I caught you dressed as an orderly coming out of cyrus renault’s hospital room. Remember, no funny business. There is nothing funny about surgery, if you ask me. Okay, who’s got a pen? Uh, um, heather, would you like dr. Enoch to go over the procedure with you one more time? In layman’s terms. I mean, before you sign? No. Not necessary. You think I should do this, that’s good enough for me. Do you have a pen? Yes. Yes, yes. Well, gracias, “doctore.” Okay. Here goes.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Sighs ] Kind of messy, but — okay. We’ll submit your consent, get the ball rolling. Yes. Of course.

[ Sighs ] We’ll talk soon. Okay. Thank you. Hey, laura. What’s kevin like in bed?

[ Chuckles ] Excuse me? I was just wondering, you know, if — if there were any similarities with ryan, you know, in that department.

[ Chuckles ] Heather, you know, here, I thought we were getting along so well. We were. We are. Have a good day. What’d I say?

[ Scoffs ] I understand you were a patient of dr. Paul braddock. Once upon a time, yes. I take it you’ve heard of him? Oh, he made quite a name for himself. What, was this guy famous or something? Some might go with infamous. He’s the one who diagnosed me with schizophrenia. Stella told me. Gave me all these — these dire warnings about how — how it might progress, how I might hurt myself or my family and the shame it would bring upon them if that happened. Doctor, I was so scared. I was so scared, I left my boys and let my wife and stella here raise them without me. But none of it, none of it was true. You didn’t have what he said you did. What would make a doctor tell me I’m a schizophrenic when I wasn’t? I can’t say for certain. Guess. Dr. Collins, could you please help us out? We need answers. I believe you were misdiagnosed because you were young, male, poor, angry, and black.

[ Sentimental music ]

Luna: My mom doesn’t understand how hard it’s been. I mean, my whole life, not knowing who my father is. I just– I’m so sorry you came here looking for her and you got all this.

Bill: No, no, no, it’s okay. I– I just hate seeing you so upset.

Luna: We never fight. Never. But I just– I couldn’t pretend like it doesn’t bother me anymore.

Bill: Your mom loves you. You’re gonna work this out.

Luna: I just wish I could talk to my father.

Poppy: Finn.

Finn: Hey, aunt poppy.

Poppy: Hi.

Finn: I– come in, I… it’s all right. I didn’t know you were coming by.

Poppy: Oh. You didn’t get my text?

Finn: Uh, no, I went out for a surf. I haven’t checked my phone. Damn. It’s good to see you.

Poppy: Yeah, it’s great to see you. Did you catch any waves?

Finn: Uh, yeah, yeah. I was just, um, yeah, just trying to– trying to clear my head.

Poppy: Yeah, I can’t imagine. I’m sorry.

Finn: If you’re looking for my mom, I think she’s at work.

Poppy: Um, no. I actually needed someone who would listen and be understanding, which unfortunately is not my sister.

Finn: Hey, what’s going on? What’s wrong?

Poppy: It’s luna.

Ridge: Wow. You must’ve been thinking about someone very special when you designed this one.

Thomas: Hope. Always hope. You know, when I’m not seeing her and she’s not around me, I’m just waiting until I can see her again, you know?

Ridge: You really are smitten, aren’t you?

Thomas: A bit. I think she feels the same. I’ve never had a woman care about me the way that hope does.

Ridge: Well, I’m pulling for both of you.

Thomas: Thanks.

Hope: Have you ever seen me like this?

Brooke: Not in a long time.

Hope: It’s because I haven’t been this happy in a long time, and that’s because of thomas. Look, mom, I know you don’t wanna hear this, but it’s the truth. He’s good for me. We’re– we’re good for each other. So please, can you stop fighting it? Can you support my relationship with thomas?

Thomas: You know, you were one of the first people to jump on board. Wish us well.

Ridge: You’re my boy. I believe in you. Always have your back.

Thomas: Well, your encouragement means the world, and I don’t know where I’d be without it.

Ridge: You know what I learned over the years? Life is short. Find your future. Grab it. Hold on to it.

Thomas: That’s exactly what I intend to do today.

Brooke: I can’t deny what a great place you’re in, and beth and douglas seem to be thriving too.

Hope: Thomas is wonderful with the kids.

Brooke: And thomas seems to be in a better place as well.

Hope: What is this I’m hearing? Is this progress?

Brooke: I’m trying. I’m trying. As surprised as I am, I can’t deny the positive impact that he’s had on your life.

Hope: Honestly, mom, thank you. I can tell you’re making an effort, and this really has been a wonderful time in my life, and I want to be able to share that with you.

Brooke: Honey, I just love you so much. I want you to be happy.

Hope: And I am happy. I’m so, so happy, and in large part that is because of thomas.

Finn: Is everything okay with luna? She’s not– she’s not sick or anything?

Poppy: No, but she is hurt and disappointed.

Finn: What, by rj?

Poppy: No… by me. I’ve let my daughter down, finn, and for the first time in her life, it’s not me she wants to talk to. It’s her father.

Bill: Your father.

Luna: I’ve always been able to turn to my mom, you know, share anything and everything with her, but this time it’s different.

Bill: Because you and poppy had a fight. I know you wish you could talk to your dad. I’m not your dad, but if I concentrate really hard, I think I could be a good listener. Moving forward with node-positive

Ridge: Wow, look at you. Look how gorgeous you are.

Brooke: Oh, thank you. You’re as handsome as ever.

Ridge: Yeah?

Brooke: Yeah. Hmm. So how’s your day going?

Ridge: It’s, uh, pretty good.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: How do you get better looking every time I see you?

Brooke: I need to come back in here more often in between meetings.

Ridge: Yeah, you should.

Brooke: It’s very special.

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: So, uh, I had an interesting conversation with hope.

Ridge: About what?

Brooke: About her and thomas.

Ridge: That’s funny. I had that same conversation with my son.

Brooke: Oh?

Ridge: I’m convinced that he’s completely devoted to her.

Brooke: You might be right.

Thomas: Good, you’re here.

Hope: Promise me you will always be this excited to see me.

Thomas: I promise.

[ Hope squeals ] Hmm…

Hope: What’s got you in such a good mood today? And, um, excuse me, what is this?

Thomas: Oh, well, this is, um, a little something I wanted you to try on.

Hope: It is beautiful.

Thomas: Yeah, not as beautiful as it’ll look once it’s on you.

Hope: When did you find the time?

Thomas: I stayed up late a few extra nights. Wanted it to be a surprise.

Hope: Oh, well, aren’t I just the luckiest woman in the world to be dating such a sexy, talented artiste?

Thomas: What can I say? You’re my muse.

Hope: Hmm. I do humbly accept the title, but I, uh, your muse was kind of in the middle of something. So can it– can it wait?

Thomas: No.

Hope: No.

Thomas: No.

Hope: Oh, so it’s important.

Thomas: Very important.

Hope: Oh, gosh, when you say it like that, it sounds like your future depends on it.

Thomas: It kind of does.

Hope: Oh, well, then, in that case, um, I guess help me take my clothes off.

Thomas: Okay.

Bill: Look, uh, I tend to talk a lot, take up a room, but for you, I’m gonna work very hard on just shutting up. I will zip it, zipped. Seriously, I’ll just listen.

Luna: Thank you, bill, that’s– that’s really kind of you to offer, but, um, I probably shouldn’t get into it.

Bill: Fair enough.

Luna: Oh, my god. I’m sorry. Uh, where are my manners? Uh, did you want something to drink, or?

Bill: I really do. I don’t suppose you have scotch.

Luna: No, my mom doesn’t drink alcohol.

Bill: Yeah, right. I– I know. I mean, she won’t even have a glass of the finest bottle of wine. She’s just all about relaxing with her happy mints. What? What? Did I say something wrong?

Luna: No, I was just thinking about some other thing.

Bill: See, I told you I talk too much.

Luna: Can I ask you something, bill?

Bill: Shoot.

Luna: Has my mom ever talked to you about my father? If advanced lung cancer

Ridge: Hang on a second. Did I hear you right? Did you say that thomas might be good for hope?

Brooke: I might be changing my mind just a little bit.

Ridge: All right, that’s– that– that is fantastic, but why, why?

Ridge: Why would you see him differently now?

Brooke: Okay, just don’t read too much into it. But I have seen changes in my daughter. She seems very light and joyful and, uh, a lot of trust and confidence, and I do believe that one of the reasons is because of thomas.

[ Hope clears throat ]

Thomas: Wow.

Hope: It’s, uh… thomas, it’s stunning.

Thomas: It’s not the dress. It’s you. You are on my mind every moment I put pen to paper.

Hope: Hmm. Well, it is perfect, and there is nothing that I would change about it.

Thomas: That’s high praise.

Hope: Well, it feels spectacular on, and it hits– hmm… it hits all the right places.

Thomas: Well, it sure does.

Hope: All right, this was fun while it lasted, uh, but I know it’s probably already spoken for, so I should–

Thomas: Uh, no, no, I want you to keep it on.

Hope: What are you saying, that I can have it?

Thomas: You can have anything you want. I would give you the world.

Hope: You already have.

Thomas: No, no, don’T.

Hope: No?

Thomas: No– no I have, uh, I have something planned, and I think you should wear it.

Hope: Oh, oh. Oh, there are plans?

Thomas: There are. We’re going somewhere. It’s not too far, so don’t worry. Come on, let’s go.

Hope: What, right now?

Thomas: Yes, right now. Come on.

Hope: Okay.

Finn: Luna’s upset she can’t speak with her dad?

Poppy: Yeah, I’ve been giving her the run-around since she was born, but… she’s finally fed up with me.

Finn: Do you, um, do you know who luna’s father is? Like, would you– would you consider opening up to her?

Poppy: It seems like more and more like I have no choice.

Finn: Well, that’s– that’s your call, but what I don’t understand is what do I have to do with this?

Luna: Well, my mom’s told you that I don’t know who my father is.

Bill: It’s come up a few times.

Luna: Well, has she ever mentioned anything or any ideas on who it could be?

Bill: We discussed it, and for a while I thought, maybe hoped, that it could be me. Schwarzkopf

Finn: The reason you’re here to see me is about luna’s father?

Poppy: Yes. I need to talk to you about that.

Bill: Crazy, huh?

Luna: Um, well, actually, rj thought the same thing when i first told him how you and my mom met, you know, all those years ago, and the timeline matches up.

Bill: It does. That’s why I had to ask poppy if I could be your father.

Luna: And let me guess, she said no.

Bill: She said it wasn’t me.

Luna: I mean, I’m not surprised. Anytime I mention my father or ask her if maybe it could be someone from her past that I’ve met before, she always just shuts down and says that she’s not sure.

Bill: Did you ever think she has a good reason for keeping it from you?

Luna: I mean, what legitimate reason could there be? You know, the older I get, the more I wonder, and I don’t think it’s fair for her to keep this from me. You know, like it’s some deep, dark, dirty secret. You know, this is my life. It’s– it’s my identity. I mean, is it so wrong for me to wanna know who my father is?

Bill: No, no, not at all. You have every right to that information. And like I told poppy, any man would be proud to call you his daughter.

Ridge: So you’re seeing thomas differently. Thank you. That’s all I can ask.

Brooke: Do I believe that thomas adds to hope’s life? Yes, I do. She seems happier and she’s laughing more. What mother doesn’t want that for her daughter?

Ridge: Absolutely. And she must be thrilled, right?

Brooke: Yeah, you could say that.

Ridge: Look at us. We– we do things together all the time. It’s all we do, and now maybe the two of them, they could move this company forward, this family.

Brooke: Okay, okay. I think they should take it slow, but I am giving thomas the benefit of the doubt. But only hope knows what’s best for her.

Hope: Ah, ah. Wow. Um, is there a hope for the future event that I wasn’t aware we were planning?

Thomas: Well, this does have to do with hope for the future.

Hope: Uh-huh. And, uh, where’s the rest of the team, then? Where’s everyone?

Thomas: Right here.

Hope: So it’s just the two of us.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Well then, I, uh, I call this meeting to order.

Thomas: Oh, okay. Well, actually, I have a little speech that I wanted to try out. Do you mind if I practice it on you?

Hope: Okay. I’d love to hear it.

Thomas: Okay, um… here it goes. The future is full of uncertainty, and how do you get past that uncertainty? We, take risks. It’s trial and error, and then you find successes. And we have found successes in our relationship, working for hope for the future, but also in our relationship as a couple, building a wonderful family. And through those risks, you trust your instincts. You take second chances, and you have given me more second chances than I probably deserve. But… you kept giving me more chances, and for that, I am so grateful. I will always be grateful to you for that. And speaking of second chances, um… you said you needed more time. But I think we’re ready. I think we’re very, very ready. It’s time for you to take this ring and put it on your finger. I don’t wanna wait anymore. So, hope… say you’ll make me the happiest man in the world. Say you’ll be my wife. Say you’ll marry me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning. Ah, there you are. Got up early, huh? Yes, I did. I was hoping that you had gone back to sleep since you were just tossing and turning for the one hour you were in bed last night. I’m okay. I just want to go see Tripp. I know. I know. And I do too, but there’s actually no rush. I talked to Sarah, she said they’re both resting comfortably.

And you, my lover, should take comfort in the fact that it is 100 percent thanks to you. Well, not 100%. It’s thanks to you too, sweetness.

And now we’re husband and wife. And I vow to love you and to cherish you with all my being. Till I draw my very last breath on this earth. Hey. Sorry to woke you. I’m sorry. Are you kidding? I am so glad to see you. How come you’re allowed out of bed? I’m not, but I know what time the shift changes. Oh, sneaky.

Whoa. Should I be jealous? Uh, your mom actually brought those. Well, I just got a muffin, so you must rate. No, I think it’s more that she feels guilty about this whole situation. Even though it’s not really her fault. Yeah, I feel guilty too. You? Why? Well, like I said, we were stuck in that tank. If you had just gone back to China when your parents wanted you to,

Gwendy, My mom didn’t mean for any of this to happen to us. I, I know she didn’t and she’s obviously horrified that it did. But with her, History has a way of repeating itself.

I just don’t think I could live with myself if something like this happened again.

Abe, we got your text. I knew we shouldn’t have gone home last night. Oh, it’s okay. It’s okay. He needed to grab a few hours sleep. Okay, so, Mama flatlined, but now she’s doing better. Well, you’ll find out for yourself soon. I just don’t get it. I thought the only possible treatment for Paulina was a heart transplant.

Oh, that’s what we all thought. So then, what happened last night? Yeah, I don’t know if I can explain it. If I didn’t know better, I might think I dreamed the whole thing.

Mama?

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Oh my god, Eli. Hey baby, look, let’s not jump to conclusions, alright? I’m sure if something had changed, your dad would have let us know. Dad, where’s mom? Well, uh, they took her out for some tests, just to see if she’s as good as she feels. Okay.

Oh, well. Oh, hello. All of my favorite people. It looks like your adoring family has returned in full force. Oh, Mama, you look so much better. Well, now, I would normally be offended by that statement, but I will accept it as a compliment and say that I do feel so much better too. Thank God. So what’s the verdict?

Well, there were no arterial blockages, no arrhythmias. Her heart tissue appears healthy, defying all medical explanation. Defying medical explanation. So you’re saying that you guys don’t have any idea of what happened to bring her back. To make her heart strong again. No. It’s nothing short of a miracle.

Tripp. It is not your job to keep me safe. Okay? I don’t need your mother’s help. To get into trouble. I do that pretty regularly myself, and, and, you know, I’m pretty damn good at getting myself out of it, too. So, I mean, not to brag, but, um. You know, you’re the reason that my dad found us before we ran out of air in that beer tank.

Yeah, I am. But you, you’re the one who kept us sane. Your brilliant, fake it till you make it, advice.

And you know, everything that happened last night, before we were running out of air, I remember that really clearly, but The last part is kind of blurry. Like, maybe I’m I imagined the whole thing. Well, when you run out of oxygen, the brain generates its own sensory inputs. Meaning what? Wait, are you telling me maybe I did imagine some of it?

I don’t understand. How could I possibly be responsible for saving Wendy and Tripp? Well, for one thing, I never would have learned CPR unless you taught me. And you made me take that refresher course a few months ago. Well, I’m happy that you mastered CPR, but you were giving me way too much credit. No, that’s not all.

I never would have picked up on Wendy’s clue in the hostage video if I hadn’t learned ASL with you all those years ago. I thought you said that there were no clues in that video. Well, we didn’t think so at first. But then I finally figured out that Wendy was making the sign for beer. You’re welcome.

Okay, I had to check online to make sure, to confirm it. For some reason, that was a sign I remembered. I wonder why. Yeah. Well anyway, after I got that Wendy was signing the word for beer, John honed in on the wall behind the kids. The configuration, the materials. And suddenly it clicked that they were in a brew tank.

So we hightailed it out to the old brewery, past the airport. That is crazy. Well, I guess it’s lucky that you remembered sign language. It’s very lucky. I just wish I’d picked up on that clue sooner, so we wouldn’t have come so close to losing those kids. Yeah, but look. Wendy and Tripp are doing great.

They’re safe, and they’re okay. Yeah. Okay, what else? Obviously, you were worried about something else. Weston broke out of Statesville, as you know. Yeah, and it’s awful, but there was nothing that you could do. Okay, what else? I don’t know. It’s just the whole, the whole nightmare. I mean, Ava getting involved with that son of a bitch in the first place and nearly getting her son killed.

And there’s that con man Constantine trying to bilk Maggie out of the Kyriakos fortune. Not to mention Abe still has amnesia. Paulina is in the hospital dying of heart failure. Well, I hate to interrupt your litany of bad news, but um, Paulina is not dying of heart failure. What? Yeah, it’s crazy. I just was talking with Sarah and she said against all odds, Paulina’s heart is functioning normal and she’s just back to normal.

Really? Yeah. How is that possible? I don’t know. But you know, my mom would say, chalk it up to the power of prayer and love. And I, you know, I’m gonna go with that because Paulina certainly has a lot of both of those things. Yeah. Wow. That’s fantastic news. They must be so relieved. Yeah, I would think so. So, you see, things were rough last night, but this morning, we have so much to be thankful for and grateful for.

Yes. Yes, we do. You hear that, Mama? It’s a miracle. Your medical mystery. A mystery I am not interested in solving. Because I do not want to jinx you. There is no way you are going to jinx it. We have you back and we are never letting you go again. And, um, Yeah. Well, my darling, there is, um, another very important miracle to celebrate, aside from my miracle, uh, and also my beautiful Lonnie finally being free and my beautiful Chanel being a happy newlywed.

You two can finally go on your honeymoon. Have You know, we actually haven’t even thought about that with everything that’s been going on. Yeah, and I wouldn’t really feel comfortable going too far right now. You, you understand that, right John? Yeah, yeah, of course I do. So, Mama, you said that there was another miracle that we had to celebrate?

Um, well, uh, That is, uh, My Abraham finally has his memory back. What? Dad! Is that true? Yes, yes it is. And I’m very happy to say that I remember everything. And I remember the day I found out that you were my daughter. And even though eventually I found out that You weren’t mine biologically. I still, I still felt so much for you.

And I always will, and I am so proud to be your father.

I love you, Dad. I have no words.

Oh, you know what else? I am so Well, my wonderful wife. I mean, I I remember falling in love with you for the first time. And I’m so happy that I got to fall in love with you all over again.

Wow, this is a, uh, this is a beautiful moment. Um, I gotta say, as much as I love my family, uh, well, most of them anyway. As most people know, the DiMeras, we’ve, we’ve had the devil in our midst, but man, the Carvers, I swear you guys must have an angel. Yes, we do. My

memory’s pretty hazy from last night, too, so What do you think happened? Well, I

I figured I’d find you in here. You gonna kick me out? Well, actually, I’ve broken so many rules today already. I let five people into a room that should have only had two people max. So, I might as well break another rule. But do me a favor and just sit, please. Sit. Is it okay if I listen to you as long as Wendy?

Yeah, yeah, I have had it. Alright, sit forward for me. Deep breath.

You know, I thought that we would have so much to celebrate when I got released from prison. But then Eli’s family house practically burned down to the ground and Mom, you were so sick and ugh. I guess I was just really afraid that this would not be a happy visit. Oh, we are on a major role with the good news.

We are

Oh, I’m sorry. I gotta take this call. Um, we’ll be back with a surprise or two. Okay, well you know I like surprises, so hurry back. I think I know exactly what those two surprises are. Oh! Hi! It’s our anniversary, buddies! Yeah, we haven’t seen you since you tied the knot. Congratulations, you two. Thank you. I hear you got some good news about your mom, Chanel.

Oh, yes. Did we ever. Well, we are on our way to see her. Uh, these are for her. This one’s for her. And this one’s for Tripp and Wendy. Oh! What, uh, what are they celebrating? Haven’t you heard? What? Yeah, they, uh, they got caught up in something that had nothing to do with them. They were held hostage. What? Yeah, it was a close call, but they were rescued by Steve and John, and now they’re in the hospital recovering.

Well, you know, it actually sounds like there weren’t three miracles, but there were four. Four? Yeah. Because you have Mama’s miraculous recovery, Lonnie being free, and then Wendy and Tripp, and Abe. Hey, what about Abe? He, uh, he got his memory back. What? Yeah. When did that happen? Uh, right after Mama’s heart started beating again, and now he says he remembers everything.

Wow. I mean, what a relief that must be for Abe, and Paulina, and, and your entire family. Yeah, and you had a lot to do with it. All those hours you worked with him, they really paid off. Well, I think you’re giving me too much credit. Really, you all did an amazing job. You were so supportive and encouraging.

Wow. I mean, for somebody to get their memory back like that’s so sweet. Suddenly and completely? That is very unusual. Yeah. It seems like everything about yesterday was unusual.

Her blood gases look good. Are her lungs still clear? You know, I really can’t hear anything if you’re talking. Sorry. Um, I take it that you looked at her chart? I did, yeah. And your own?

Man, they say that doctors are the worst patients, but you are in a league all your own. Have you met this one? Ah, from the family. Definitely. Are you supposed to be out of bed? No, he isn’t. No, but Tripp and I are feeling much better today. That’s what we like to hear. Yeah, but I would like to hear it from the actual doctor who’s on duty, if that’s okay.

How are they doing? Uh, well, they’re Levels are good and they’re stable. They definitely look a lot better than when they came in. Great. Yeah, well, Wendy, these are for you. Oh, beautiful. Thank you so much. Yeah, open them over here. Wow, look at this arrangement. Lovely. Yeah, from my mom. Oh. Uh, Kayla, if you have a minute, I’d love to chat with you about something.

Sure. Yeah, of course. Okay, we’ll be back in a few. Okay. So, Your mom was already here this morning, huh? Was she here to spin her side of the story? Dad, I know you’re angry. Okay, I am too. But, Clyde dragged her into this. She had no choice. Trip, People died because of those tainted drugs she was running through the bistro.

You and Wendy could have died.

Mom was trying to protect us. Okay, she begged us to leave Salem. She wanted us to move to China when Wendy’s family wanted us to. But I couldn’t leave her here to let her deal with this on her own. Hold on. You knew your mom was involved in that drug operation? Since when? Answer me, Tripp. How long have you known and why didn’t you tell me?

I guess we’re not gonna tell the kids about Lexi. They wouldn’t believe us. That my first wife appeared to us from the afterlife. And miraculously healed us both. Well, I may have had a few drugs in me and you’re still on the mend from a traumatic brain injury. But I am quite sure, quite sure that you and I both didn’t imagine the same thing.

Thank you. But, I wonder Go on, go on. I, uh, I wonder if you’re getting back some memories of me. Might cause you to, uh, to wonder why you’re with me. What? Well, you, you’re, you’re remembering all the lies I told, right? All the problems I’ve caused. Yes. Let me tell you something, Mayor Price Carver. You are a complicated, amazing woman.

And most people have never had what I’ve had once, let alone twice. And I can’t, I just can’t wait to spend the rest of these years making new memories with you. Hmm. Yeah. Uh, thank you. No, I appreciate it.

Well? The FBI approved my status change to part time special agent. So now I get to consult with the DOJ. They gave me everything that I asked for and more. Ah. That’s because you are the best. Hmm, I’m so proud of you. Oh, now you know what that means. More money, and I get to spend more time with you and our precious twins.

And less time in harm’s way. Yeah, if I take the job. Wait, what? Eli, this is everything that you’ve always wanted. Except it’s in DC. I mean now that we’re back at home with family. I don’t know how I feel about leaving. You?

I don’t know either.

Dad the reason I didn’t tell you about mom’s situation is because I knew you would go ballistic and I know that’s not an excuse. I just I I’m, sorry, you’re right. That’s not an excuse But i’m not mad at you I’m angry with your mother. And I understand why you’re defending her. Because you’re a good son.

I’m just grateful you’re both okay. Son, I was scared. I was so scared when I couldn’t get you to breathe. And I know I broke your rib. I felt a crack. I’m sorry. No, it was a minor crack, okay? It’ll heal quickly. Listen, you did everything right. I’m sorry. It’s very common for someone’s rib to get cracked when you’re using the force that’s needed for CPR.

You saved my life, so a sore rib is a very small price to pay. I’m so grateful for you. I love you, buddy. I love you, too. Oh,

my darling. You know, I, I still, I still feel like, well, like, I’m in a dream. Sitting here with my husband, who now has, has his memories back. And, uh, most of them with me are, Beautiful and perfect, right? You’re suppressing the ones that aren’t. Definitely, definitely. No, seriously, seriously, Abraham. I, I’ve dreamed of this for so many months, though.

Having you back. 100%.

Oh, I’m now, oh my god. Thank Lexi. We will be making many, many more beautiful and perfect memories together.

Hey. Hi. There they are. The sweet bits. Yeah. I hope we’re not interrupting. No, we actually were just on our way to go see your mom down the hall. Yeah. Hey, Chanel. Johnny. Hey, you guys. Hey, it’s good to see you both. Yeah, we’re so glad to see that you’re doing okay. Well, we’ll let your kids visit. Do you need anything from home?

Either one of you? No. Thank you. I’ve, uh, got everything I need right here. Me too. All right. Well, we’ll see you all later then. Bye bye. Later. Thanks for everything. Yeah. So, Chanel, how’s your mom doing? Well, the past few weeks have been really rough on her, which is an understatement. But, um, now she’s, she’s doing much better.

Oh, that’s great to hear. Yeah. And you, uh, looks like you’ve kept up with the dangerous capers, your new partner in crime. New and improved. Yeah, well, this most recent caper was definitely one for the ages, but we’re fine, thank God. You’re welcome. Chanel, is that a wedding ring? Oh, yeah, yeah, it is. Johnny and I actually got married in my mom’s hospital room on Valentine’s Day.

Congratulations! Oh my god, you guys! Yeah, husband and wife, huh? Yeah, you know, for better, for worse, etc, etc. Oh, that is such great news. I’m so happy for you. You’re here. Congratulations.

I always knew you two would wind up together. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. So? It would seem as though we are all exactly where we belong. Well.

I don’t know if I’ve said it often enough or loud enough or even at all, but Kayla, Steve, thank you for all that you’ve done for us. Letting Abe stay with you while he was trying to figure things out and reintroducing him to the life he lived before the accident. And not to mention the Wonderful medical attention you gave us, Kayla.

Mm hmm. Well, you know, I’m not sure that it was the medical attention that cured Paulina or got your memory back. And guess what? You’ve thanked us more than enough. Oh, no, no, no, no. Never, never enough. You are our great and gracious friends. And I appreciate your, your kindness and your hospitality. But you are losing me as a house guest.

So, does this mean you’re moving back in with your lovely wife? Well, if, if she’ll have me. Let me think about it. Oh, I think, okay. I think I can put up with you again. Are you sure about that? Yes, yes, I am sure. If you can, you know, think you can put up with me again, smothering you with all the love and attention, you think that you can handle that?

Well, I look forward to it. And the reciprocating. Well, as sorry as we are to lose you as a roommate, we are so thrilled for both of you, really. Hey, and how about To make the transition easier for us, you come to dinner as soon as you’re out of the hospital. Ah, great idea. We’ll have just a big celebration.

Champagne, confetti, the works. Oh, honey, honey, we are there. Let’s just hope it’s soon. Oh, gosh, yes, of course. I am so happy for all my friends. Wow, wow, wow. Amazing. Love you guys.

Wow, another wedding. What do you mean, another one? Well, um, Before Dr. Horton and your parents came in, we were talking about last night. About what we remembered, and Oh, it’s my mom. Well, she obviously got my voicemail. No, I’m gonna go. Please don’t.

Why

Cher? The Cher

Shut? Mama

Does she just hang up on you? Yeah, sort of. She’s mad that she heard about my near death experience from the news, not accounting for the time difference or my being unconscious, but arguing with her would’ve gotten me nowhere. So she was probably just worried about you. Especially what happened to your brother.

I mean, your parents would be devastated if something happened to you. No, I know.

When Johnny was talking about our old capers, it made me realize I’ve been scared before. I’m never as scared as I was last night. But at the same time,

I never felt as safe as I did in your arms.

These are for the staff. A variety of croissants and donuts. I didn’t steal one of these before anybody else gets to them. Go for the almond croissant. I will go for the almond croissant. Thank you so much. Also, hey, I was thinking about what you guys said earlier about, um, a honeymoon and not wanting to go.

so much. Super far away. Mm hmm. You could always honeymoon at the Horton Cabin. I mean, it’s not a 5 star hotel, let me tell you that much, but it is private and very cozy. Well, private and cozy sounds pretty good to me. Uh, if you’re sure. No, I’m sure. I wouldn’t have offered otherwise. Okay. Uh, well then, what do you say, Chanel?

I say that as soon as we get mama home and all settled in, then let’s do it. Oh, Lonnie. Oh, I was hoping that would be my surprise. Those little angels or my beautiful grandbabies. We’re all Too excited to see their grandma running around this room like, like little chickens with their head cut off and crying when I don’t let them jump on the bed with you.

Well, I love seeing them running around. Oh, y’all don’t even mind all these little Goldfish cracker crumbs in my bed. I was just thrilled to have some time with our precious Jules and Carver. All right. Well, Carver and Jules are at the park with Grandma Julie, who was kind enough to meet me there. Well, I was hoping that they could, you know, could have stayed a little bit longer, but maybe you’ll bring them back later.

Definitely. Well, I do, I admit. I’m very envious of great grandma Julie getting to babysit those sweethearts. But when I finally get to go home, you’re gonna have to let this grandma make up for you lost time with those two. Well, well, why don’t you say anything, Lonnie? Look, you don’t want me to babysit them.

No, no, Mom. No, that is not what I said. That’s not it at all. I mean, if we were going to stay here in Salem, then yes, you would get to watch them all the time. If you were going to stay in Salem? I guess dad didn’t tell you about Eli’s potential job offer in D. C.? You did not? I didn’t think you needed to know.

Because Lonnie said it was only a Potential job offer. Okay, so Tell me now It would be a great opportunity for Eli mama, but We know that you love having us here in Salem, and we love being here But, you’re going. Only if you will truly be happy for us, Mama. And if not, we’ll stay here. But, you just, you say the word.

Oh, no, no, no. Don’t, don’t put this on me. Mama, we mean it. If you don’t want us to go Of course But, oh, okay.

Kay, I know you have to do what’s right for your family. I just, you know, hope you have a guest room there in D. C. Cause when I finally get that green light to travel I’ll be there as often as I can. You’ll be just sick to death of me. Never. Are we interrupting something? What’s going on? We’re starving.

What’s going on? Where have you two been? Oh, we just took a little detour. Three, two, one. What are you doing? Just waiting for someone else to barge in, or the phone to ring, or a nurse to come and check our vitals. Yeah. I think that we might actually be safe. It might just be you and me. For one minute, at least.

Oh, well, then we’ve been working a lot.

Now, uh, where were we? What were we talking about? Oh, um. Well, we were talking about what we thought we remembered from our ordeal in the beer tank, you know. When we were struggling to breathe. Right. So I thought I remembered. But I was so out of it, who knows. Tell me what you remember.

Okay. I will.

Trip, did you really propose to me last night?

Jules and Carver were here. They were indeed. Your very adorable niece and nephew. Yeah, okay, very adorable and very rambunctious. Eli had to whisk them away and drop them off with a Julie. Ah, well, we’ll see them later.

Sorry to interrupt. Oh, no, no, no. You are not interrupting. When can I go home, Sarah? Well, your blood work is still looking great and your incision is healing nicely. So if you keep on this path, you may be discharged as early as tomorrow. What about today? She drives a tough bargain. You still have to follow up with your oncologist and your endocrinologist.

So the whole ordeal isn’t quite over yet. But The end is most definitely in sight.

Hey John, give me a call man. We need to talk about the fallout from Weston’s escape.

Hey, lover. Okay, I’m ready to go. I was just in with the most amazing patient who is making an excellent recovery, so Ah. What’s going on? Just Clyde Weston’s escape from prison. It’s still eating at me. I mean, not only did Tripp and Wendy suffer through that ordeal because of him. My God, that monster killed our niece.

Kidnapped you and Joe. And he’s out there somewhere planning God knows what. Yeah, no doubt. Well, you know what? He is going to be found and brought back to prison. It’s just a matter of time. Yeah, well, that son of a bitch better damn well hope that the police get him before I do.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning. You are at my place. Remember? I brought you here last night. Yeah. Yeah. I slept on the couch. Sorry, I took your bed. No, don’t pee. I didn’t hear a peep out of you all night. I assume you got some rest. Yeah. Good. How you feeling? Like I got hit by a truck. Coffee smells really good though. And fresh algae.

You’re spoiling me. That’s what friends are for.

That was really tough to see. I know. Our beloved home in ashes and cinders. It was a blow, a blow to all of us. Well, the blessing is that you all made it out alive. Absolutely. But what kind of a criminal, what kind of a sociopath sets fire to a house with, with innocent people inside? The worst kind. Look, I just really hope that this investigation produces some solid leads.

I’m not holding my breath. But we’re moving forward. Yeah. Gonna restore, repair, rebuild, refurbish. I’m excited about that. So tell me, what’s up with this mysterious time capsule? Oh, the message from my grandparents. It’s great, but we have no idea what the message is. I’m sure they didn’t intend for us to find out by setting the house on fire.

So, what do you think will happen first? The house will get finished or you’ll find the key to this time capsule? Time will tell. Tell me some more about Polina. Yep, she does not need a heart transplant, really. They’re keeping under close surveillance, but no, it’s a miracle. It’s a do over. Abe got his memory back.

Yes, yes, you should see Abe. I mean, he is practically dancing on air. His smile, it could light up a city. Always could. Yeah. I mean, we go back a long way, and Speaking of Abraham and Paulina, you know what they just love? They love having you and Lonnie and the twins around. I love that so much. Do you suppose there’s any chance in the world that you would move back to Salem?

Um, sorry, Grandma, but No. It’s not gonna happen.

Those are so delicious. Thank you for making these again for the kids. They couldn’t get enough of them, and neither could I. You know, creating culinary delights is one of my great joys. Be careful. You might get a permanent job here. Fortunately, it would be a lot easier, though, I think. One house has been filled to the brim with guests.

Oh, I love it. It’s wonderful to have all four children running around. It makes me feel like a real papu. I always hoped for grandchildren. Alas, it was never meant to be.

I’m so sorry about your daughter, Constantine. What a terrible tragedy. You know, it is not true what they say that time heals all wounds. Not for me. You see, I miss her more, not less, as time goes on.

Thank you, Nora. Are you sure that you’re up for this? What, breakfast with Eric? Yeah, why wouldn’t I be? Well, you’ve been through so much with Steve lately. Um, I don’t know. How are you sleeping? Not well as I understand. You still having those nightmares?

They’re getting worse, in fact. I’m not too surprised. Having to save Wendy and Tripp from that tank. Bring them back from the From the edge of death.

Not to give anybody nightmares, I’m I’m imagining that triggered a lot of your own bad memories. Yeah, it did, it did. And you know what, I’d rather not talk about it right now, is that okay? Sure. Anytime you’re ready. I’ll let you know, okay? Sure. Let’s not keep Eric waiting.

Well, how is my grandson doing? Oh, you’re talking about the most beautiful kid in the world? That is the one. He’s been fantastic. He’s holding his head up now. Like a champ. Hey, thank you for your help with Lucas. Yeah, of course. So is there any chance of him coming out of hiding soon? Well, your guess is as good as mine, but, uh, with Clyde out of prison, I’d rather he just stay put.

Yeah, I can’t believe Clyde escaped. I mean, how could that even happen? With a whole lot of serious help from outside. Missing Salem Dr. Tripp Johnson and Salem Police Tech Specialist Wendy Shin rescued at Salem’s Old Brewery on the outskirts of the city. Thank God. Kidnapper identified but nowhere to be found.

An investigation is underway to determine whether the incident is linked to the Statesville prison escape of notorious criminal Clyde Weston. Son of a bitch. Like

sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

So, any news on Tripp and Wendy? Well, I was at the hospital earlier. And? And, they’re doing pretty well, all things considered. You know, we got there just in time, I implied. Leaving them to die, and then that crooked cop. I mean, Goldman fooled everybody. I swear to God, if I ever get my hands on either one of them, I am going Get in line.

What about, what about the manhunt? Any news on, um, where our modern day Bonnie and Clyde might be? Not that anyone’s shared with me. And that escape. I mean, Clyde, he had to have outside help, but I don’t think Goldman could have pulled it off alone. Do you think Stephan had something to do with this?

Stephan? Why would you think that? I mean, we both know Clyde had Stephan under his thumb. Yeah. Um.

I don’t think that, um, Steppen had anything to do with it. I mean, and besides, I mean, what is he going to know about pulling off a prison break, huh?

All right, you know, time to take your pills. Oh, okay. Thank you, Nurse Nightingale. Yeah, wait, wait, wait. Nurse Nightingale, really? Yeah, I had to, uh, read, uh, her biography. I think it was, uh, sixth grade. I don’t know, something just Stuck with me about her story. You know, she was a strong, empowered woman. It was a compliment.

I took it as such. Now stop stalling and take your meds, Commander. Very good.

Grandma, I was waiting to tell you this, but I got a promotion. A promotion? A big one. A lot more responsibility. I’ll be working with the FBI and the DOJ. Which means I’ll be doing a lot more traveling, domestically and internationally. Is this something you want? Absolutely. Yes. Oh, my beautiful, brave grandson.

I’m so incredibly proud of you. Thank you. But I’m proud of you. I mean, the way you’ve been handling this house fire, you’re incredibly strong. The way you handle everything, you’re so brave. It’s the family that makes me brave. Oh, darling. Go tell Doug about this promotion. Oh, this is so funny.

Your compassion touches me.

I, I, I know what it’s like to lose a child. I’ve lost two, as you know. But you still have your wonderful Sarah. Yeah, she’s a blessing. Yes. Although I do think I interfere in her life too much. I, uh, I focus too much on her. Yeah. Now that her sister and brother are gone. Well, I doubt that. Sarah adores you.

Then again, who doesn’t?

What are you thinking? Oh,

I’m just, you know, I’m, I’m reminded of, um, the power of touch. Um, I’ve read a lot of articles lately about how important it is for everyone later, you know, in their later years. That touch can be the most powerful ways to communicate emotion.

I’m grateful to you, Constantine, and not just for the comfort of our hands touching, but also all the stories that you told me about Victor, and then the latest story about your daughter. Katerina,

you’ve touched my heart. Oh, you have touched me as well, Maggie. I cherish our friendship.

I cherish you. You

are a very special woman, Maggie. Well, I’m, I’m, uh, I’m grateful that I’m special in your eyes. However, I must be honest. As much as I’ve tried to fight it, as much as I hoped that this guilt would eventually subside, it hasn’t.

Constantine being close to another man, to someone other than my husband, my late husband at that, I feel Like it’s a betrayal. I feel like I’m betraying Victor.

Maggie, did you not tell me that Victor loved you deeply, unselfishly? So, why would he want you to continue in life without being cherished?

Victor not want you to be happy?

Did I hurt, oh, did I hurt you? No. No. No, it only hurts, uh, when I move. Talk or breathe. Not when you snore. Wait, don’t do that. Don’t make me laugh. That hurts. Sorry. What are you doing? Oh God. It’s okay. It’s as good as any nurse at the hospital. So thank you. I really appreciate it. Yeah. I Thank you. You have to take that.

Might be a trip. Uh, hello? Can you talk? Uh, well, I’m in the middle of something right now. Well, wrap it up as soon as you can. We need to meet face to face. Okay. When? One hour. I’ll be at my office, waiting. Okay, good. I will, uh, I’ll see you then. Okay, I am going to go meet Steve and we’re going to go visit Tripp together.

So, um, you’re going to be okay for a few hours by yourself? I made it this far. Yeah. Call me if you need anything, alright?

Oh, um, I’m so happy you both made it. Hey, so are we. Hey, hey. Buddy. Please, join us. It is great to be celebrating something positive for a change. And, we do have a lot to celebrate. Yes, we do. Matter of fact, last night when we were getting ready to go to bed, Abe called. I mean, that voice sounded just like the Abe we’ve all known and loved for all these years.

Yeah, he left me a message, and you could hear it in his voice how relieved he was to be himself again. Yeah. I’ve checked on Paulina. She’s doing amazingly well. Just blessings and miracles. Yes, and now a christening of our own little blessing and miracle. Jude Verdi. You know, Joan and I would love to host a little celebration after the ceremony, if that’s alright with you.

That’s very thoughtful, Mom. But Nicole’s already offered to host a party at the DiMera mansion. Oh. I hope that’s okay. I’m just surprised. No, I think it’s a great idea. It’s larger than the townhouse. Alright, any, any thoughts about godparents? Yes, actually. Sloan, she asked Melinda Trask to be godmother.

Really? Well, they’ve gotten really close lately. I mean, she was the one who found Jude for us. Oh, of course. But I do plan on asking Brady to be Godfather. Oh, that’s nice. I’m sure he’ll be stoked about that. Yeah, I hope so. John, you look beat. I don’t know, why wouldn’t you? Trip, Wendy, damn. That was some rescue.

Yeah, you’re a real hero, John. No, no, no, no, no hero here. Far from it. You know, I have been meaning to ask you, with that beautiful red mane of yours, are you of Irish descent? Hmm? Actually, I have no idea. My parents, um, they died when I was quite young. I grew up on a farm and I never knew any of my other biological relatives.

My main name is Simmons. Um, it could be Irish, I guess. Or Welsh. Or Scottish. Definitely Anglo Saxon. Yeah. Well, maybe I should have my DNA tested. Oh, , be careful. You never know who you might end up having as a relative. I myself believe I am a descendant of Les and the, the son of Zeus, the, the king of Gods.

Um, but then again, I, I could be a descendant of Hades and we know who He’s the ruler of . Well, although wherever we’re descendant from you and I. It doesn’t affect anything, does it? I mean, you can’t change the past. No, you can’t change it.

Sometimes there is something in our past that is so foul, we will never ever forget it.

Yes, send the arrangement to Paulina Price. The mayor, yes. And sign the card. Um, nothing but goodness and love. Maggie Kiriakis. That’s right. Thank you. Is your friend allowed to have flowers now? Oh yeah, she is. And she happens to love orchids. Oh my goodness! Come in! Have you had breakfast? Oh, we have blueberry muffins and sweet bits.

Mmm, well then come and sit down. Oh no, I can’t. I’m actually here just to pack our things. We leave this afternoon. Oh, you’re leaving so soon? Well, he has to because he has a wonderful new job. Tell him, tell him about the promotion. Tell. Well, for one, I’ll be spending a lot more time on international cases.

Impressive. With whom? Uh, the FBI. I’m a federal agent. Yes, he’s been a federal agent for a long time, but he’s done so well that he has been moved up. And he is going to have a new job with a great deal of promotion. Power and responsibility. He’s gonna rid the whole world of evil. Okay, Grandma. Anyone can do it.

You can’t, Eli.

You know, maybe Jude can wear the same christening gown that you wore when you were a baby. You still have it? Of course I do. It’s in a, in a bin in the basement. I’ll make sure I pull it out. Oh. Hey! Wow, looky here. Steve, sit, join us. We’re helping Harry plan Jude’s christening. Oh, well, you know, I’d love to join in on that, but, um, actually I saw John’s car outside.

We have a couple of things to discuss about a case. You mind if I borrow him for an hour or two? No, just return him in one piece. Hey, Steve, we’ll see you at the christening moment. I wouldn’t miss it.

So what’s up? Ava’s meeting us at the office in 20 minutes.

I trust you, Ava. I do, but dammit, you’re up to something. I know you are.

Grandma, it takes a hell of a lot more than one person to rid the world of evil. Don’t sell yourself short. You wouldn’t have this responsibility if you weren’t the best of the best. Okay. Spoken like a true loving and biased grandmother. You have made your family very proud, Eli. I I must be going. It was lovely to meet you and your lovely wife and children.

And, uh, I have to make a call to Greece before it’s too late in the evening.

We heard about Paulina’s recovery. Abe must be over the moon. He is. Uh, Lonnie, Schnell, I mean, we all are. Yeah. And I heard about Abe, too. He remembers everything. He does. It sucks that we can’t spend more time with them, but with this new job, I gotta get back to D. C. Yeah. But I’m thrilled that we’re leaving happy and not heartbroken.

Thank God. Thank you again, Maggie, for taking a sit. We really appreciate it. That’s Maggie’s new occupation. She’s running the Kiriakis Mansion bed and breakfast for displaced loved ones. Hey, hey, I am delighted with this new occupation. And I’m so happy that you came back, all of you. Please, I love being surrounded by family.

Come on, Rafe, nothing? Seriously, no leads? I mean, what about past hideouts or places Clyde used to visit? Okay, okay, just please call me if there’s any news. Thank you.

Well, there she is. Okay, let’s make this quick. I want to check in on Tripp and then I got some things I need to take care of. Then let’s get down to work. Okay. Yeah, speaking of which, after that stunt you pulled, we’re just lucky no one’s on to us. Everyone assumes Officer Goldman engineered Weston’s escape.

What he has over her, I can’t imagine. Oh, well, from what it looked like at the airfield, she’s his girlfriend. What? I didn’t see that coming. Okay, okay, okay, did you see anything else? I mean, did they say or do anything that would indicate where they’re headed or what their plans are? No, no, nothing, okay?

Just that monster was taunting me about my son being dead. Oh, my God. You realize that we’re in this mess because we trusted you, right? We didn’t expect you to stab us in the back. Okay, you know what? Get off your high horse, both of you, okay? You double crossed me first. The original plan was we were going to bust Weston out of prison and then let him go, so I just went back to the original plan.

Besides, We had no choice. There’s always a choice. Okay, well, you know what? Weston’s in the wind now. Nothing we can do. That doesn’t make it okay.

I can’t do this, man. We gotta make this right. I can’t live with myself. Knowing that SushiPath is out there destroying people’s lives because of us. I’m with you. You know, just a mere fact that we assisted in a prison escape. We scratched that. We didn’t assist in anything. We made it happen. No, it’s wrong.

It’s wrong. And it’s not what we do. Oh, so holier than thou. Okay, you know what? We have all three done things that we are not proud of. Okay? Some really bad things. Yeah, some really bad things. But those things are in the past. Not the past. John.

You okay?

Alright, the car’s all packed up. I’m picking Lonnie and the twins up at the hospital. Oh my goodness, it was wonderful to see you all. Please, please come back soon. I will, and you know I’m going to keep sending you pictures. You’d better. Grandma.

So proud of you. Just about to burst. And so happy. That your family’s all united and, and you know that’s the way it should be. Yeah, so am I. I love you. I love you. See you later. Bye.

Oh, oh Maggie. Uh, I know you have a million people living in this house right now, but without Eli and his family it’s gonna be a, an empty place for me and

Do I sound silly? Not at all. I know what it’s like to live in a house full of people. And still feel lonely.

Fatherhood looks good on you. Well, I’m fulfilled. It’s just, you know, June and I have an amazing connection and I just, I just really love that feeling. I’m so glad to hear that. Sloane, how is she? Um What? What did I miss? Go ahead, tell Dad. I had supper at their house a little while back and She got bombed.

Sloane got ways to that. Look, it isn’t so crazy unusual. I mean, she’s got a very taxing, demanding job. But she’s trying to be a perfect mom. What else is there? Well, I, it’s just sometimes I think she gets jealous of Jude. Oh. Have you two had that conversation? Yeah, I tried to explain it to her. It’s, I just, okay, maybe I am a bit obsessed with Jude.

I mean, I hate letting him cry or being apart from him. I understand that. Yeah, have I ever thanked you too? For what? Just being amazing parents, to me, you know. For being loving and so kind. You made it so easy, you always have. And you have thanked us. Many, many times in fact. But, Always nice to hear.

Voicemail. Again. Stefan! Quit blowing me off, okay? You call me, or you fine me. If you don’t, you’re not gonna like what I’m gonna do.

Right, no one but the three of us can ever know that we were behind the prison break. Oh yeah? Well, there’s still the issue of your mob pals helping us out. Okay, don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it. You keep saying that, Ava. But what’s it really gonna cost you? Whatever the price is, it is worth it because we saved our son.

Okay? Are we done here? For now. I’m going back to the hospital. Alright, I’ll head out with you. You coming, John? I’ve got a few things I need to follow up on here. Okay. You take it easy, man. Yeah, you too.

I need to see you. Copy to Oblige, where are you? Black Patch. I’ll be right there.

Hey, what’s up with John? Not sure what you mean. Really? Okay, well, you know, you know him a lot better than I do, but sometimes it seems like he just checks out. Yeah, well, I’ve known John for over 30 years, and sometimes he’s a mystery even to me. Yeah, right. Okay. Um, hey, you know, uh, By the way,

You know when you pulled Trip out of the beer tank, and he wasn’t breathing, I, uh, I just about stopped breathing too. But we brought him back. No, you didn’t. You did, so thank you. I am incredibly grateful to you, and I just hope that you know that. I do. And hey, we, we got Wendy to thank too for being smart with that sign language.

Yeah, she’s a very smart, smart young lady, that’s for sure. Look, look, I know, I know that you, you disapprove of the way that I handle things. Okay, no, forget that. It’s an understatement. You, you, you hate the way I handle things, but look, I just need you to know that the safety trip was the only thing that was on my mind.

Okay, hey, boo. I didn’t mean to drag you into this mess, you know that, right? But if you had just trusted me, maybe John and I could have saved him. Without letting Weston go. Yeah, or maybe not.

Okay. Agree to disagree. You’re going to the hospital. Yeah, maybe a little later. I just have a few things I need to check on at the house first.

Been a while since I’ve caught up with you. So, as they say in New Jersey, How you doing?

Heather: How did lily take the news that we’re back together? Was it too difficult to tell her? Because in a way, I would understand if it was. Even lucy was a little bit afraid of that because you’re such a nice guy. She was worried that you wouldn’t be okay hurting her and that you wouldn’t be able to go through.

Daniel: Lucy… was worried, or…were you?

Devon: Hey. Welcome back. Why didn’t you tell me you’re coming home? I would’ve got you from the airport.

Lily: How could you not tell me about daniel and heather?

[Scoffs]

Audra: [Hums] Hmm. Oh, definitely.

[Knock on door]

[Sighs] Mm, I was hoping it would be you. Mwah!

Tucker: Well…

Audra: You know, I… I know we’re not leaving right this second, but why not get a head start, right? What do you think?

[Chuckles]

Tucker: Very nice.

Audra: Oh, you know what? I’m probably packing too much. I know I’m packing too much, especially with the shopping in paris. It’s just so unbelievable. But I just want to be ready for every little thing. Oh, and you won’t believe it. I managed to get us reservations at that ultra romantic restaurant with the view of the eiffel tower.

Tucker: Audra, I… would not have made those reservations just yet.

Audra: Uh, why not?

Tucker: We have to postpone the trip.

Abby: I am actually officially on the board at chancellor-winters. I mean, I was a little worried it wasn’t gonna happen when jill made some noise, but the vote was unanimous– even jill. She wants as many abbots as she can get, even after amanda implied that I might not get approved.

Ashley: That’s nice.

Abby: You know, I love society. I love everything it’s become. I loved building it, but I didn’t realize how much I missed the corporate world. I feel so energized, like I’m ready to make a difference.

Ashley: So nice.

Abby: You said that already.

Ashley: I said what?

Abby: “That’s nice.” [Scoffs]

Ashley: Well, it is nice, isn’t it? I mean, you’re on the board at chancellor-winters. You’re exactly where you want to be, and it’s nice.

Abby: And your head is somewhere else.

Ashley: I am right here having a lovely lunch with my daughter.

Abby: A million miles away.

Ashley: I’m right here. Promise.

Abby: You know, mom, I don’t know what’s been going on with you lately, but you know you can talk to me about anything. Unless… please tell me you’re not thinking about tucker.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Ashley: I think that the only one that’s got tucker on the brain is you.

Abby: I’m concerned about you, mom. I really am.

Ashley: Well, you don’t have to be, okay? Because I’m over him for good.

Abby: And I wanna believe that.

Ashley: You can start believing right now. You need to move on, and no more threatening him.

Abby: How would you know about that unless you saw him last night?

Ashley: I’m saying in general, you’ve made it clear that you don’t want tucker anywhere near me, dominic, or devon. You’ve been very vocal about that.

Abby: Hmm.

Ashley: So you threatened him last night?

Abby: I went to his suite, and I told him that he needed to stay away from you.

Ashley: [Scoffs]

Abby: And if he didn’t, there’d be hell to pay.

Ashley: I wish you hadn’t done that.

Abby: You can’t stop me from trying to protect you.

Ashley: I can take care of myself, abby, please.

Abby: Not where tucker’s concerned.

Ashley: So, what else did you say?

Abby: Well, it was bizarre. Tucker seems to think that you’re just pretending to forgive him, and then you’re gonna suddenly, I don’t know, turn it around and screw him over. That’s crazy, right?

Ashley: Ridiculous. Guess what? I want us to consider the topic of tucker mccall officially closed forever.

[Snaps fingers]

Abby: Okay.

Ashley: Promise?

Abby: Just to be clear…

Ashley: Hmm?

Abby: You’re not softening towards tucker, are you? I mean, he’s out of your life forever, right?

Ashley: You know what? I cannot rehash this. We have been over this a million times. Let’s talk about you. Thank you. It is your first day on the board of directors at chancellor-winters, right? I’m sure devon was very excited to be able to be working with you.

Abby: Well, yeah. I mean, it was only the first day, but chancellor-winters– it’s just, it’s wonderful. The energy there is contagious…

Ashley’s voice: Ugh. Ashley’s daughter is such a pain in the ass. The questions, the questions, questions about tucker…

Abby: It is kind of a weird dynamic…

Ashley’s voice: And when it’s not about him, it’s all…

[Mockingly] “Me, me, me.”

Abby: …Really working through it. I think that…

Ashley’s voice: Can’t wait until I’ve cleaned up this mess, and ashley can come back to deal with her nosy, irritating daughter and her nosy, irritating family.

Abby: …Really just…

Audra: Postpone the trip? Why? What’s happened?

Tucker: The financial director of one of the companies we’re acquiring has some family crisis that precludes her from being able to meet for at least a month.

Audra: Okay, so one person isn’t available.

Tucker: And the operations director of one of the factories broke his leg and his arm, skiing, and laid up for a month in the hospital.

Audra: Okay, so two people are not available. That’s not enough reason to cancel the entire trip. I mean, after all, you know, paris isn’t just about business.

Tucker: That’s true. That’s very true. But… [Sighs]

Audra: Oh, but what?

Tucker: [Sighs] It just, it seems foolish to make two trips. One of the main reasons we’re going is to see how these companies operate firsthand, and we can’t really do that if two of the key players are out of commission.

Audra: Mm.

Tucker: So, let’s just– let’S…we’ll go. We’ll wait. A month. Six weeks.

Audra: You are totally lying. This is about ashley, isn’t it?

Devon: So you obviously know.

Lily: Yes, I know. I go to daniel’s apartment to surprise him, and I’m the one who gets surprised.

Devon: How are you doing?

Lily: How do you think I’m doing? Daniel and I chatted on the phone for months. We video chatted. He never said anything to me, and you knew about it, and you kept it from me.

Devon: I’m sorry.

Lily: Please tell me you can do better than that.

Devon: I don’t know if I can. I… when I found out, daniel asked if I would let him be the one to tell you, and I said yeah. And then I made him promise that he would as soon as possible.

Lily: Oh, so should I thank you for that?

Devon: No. Listen, I hated keeping it from you, okay? He hated keeping it from you, too. But we were both worried that with everything you had going on, we didn’t wanna overwhelm you when you were trying to be there for mattie.

Lily: You know, I know that you are trying to protect me, and I am trying really hard to be mature and rational about this, but I really just wanna scream and slap daniel in the face, and maybe you, too.

Hey! Asthma’s

got you going through it?

Lily: It’s not like I forgot that he and heather have a daughter and that they’re still a family.

Devon: Yeah, and having that connection to someone is very strong.

Lily: I know that, and I felt it when heather came to town. I did, and he didn’t want to admit it. You know? And so he’s– he’s telling me what happened, and he’s breaking up with me. And I’m thinking to myself, I get it. You know? I-I get it. He–he wants to have a family again. He’s doing this for lucy. And it’s like as hurt as I am, it makes sense in a way, you know?

Devon: It’s very understanding of you.

Lily: Yeah, and I’m– I’m proud of myself. And then I ask him… if he’s fallen back in love with heather.

[Sighs] And he tells me that… he actually never stopped loving her.

Devon: I’m sorry.

Lily: So, it wasn’t for lucy. It was for himself. It’s what he wanted. So, it’s like, what does that say about our relationship?

Devon: You know that I’m here for you. And if there’s anything I can do to make this easier for you and make you feel better, just tell me, and I’ll do it.

Lily: [Sighs] I know, and look, I’M… [Sighs] I’m sorry how I came in here. I’m not–I’m not angry at you. I’m not. [Sighs] I’m just…really… really sad. I thought what daniel and I had was special, you know? And… I guess I was wrong.

Daniel: I told lily everything. A lot harder than I thought it was gonna be, too, you know, with everything that she’s been dealing with the past few months, to… have to tell her that we’re over.

Heather: How did she take it?

Daniel: Pretty much how you’d expect her to. She was hurt, upset.

Heather: Well, I don’t blame her.

Daniel: She did say on some levels she wasn’t surprised.

Heather: Really?

Daniel: Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Heather: You seem… are you okay?

Daniel: Well, I may have been a little too honest with her.

Heather: What? I… what does that mean? I don’t understand.

Daniel: She asked me if I had fallen back in love with you.

Heather: What’d you say?

Daniel: I told her that… I never stopped loving you and that you and me getting back together, you know, this wasn’t just about being a family for lucy again, but it was about giving us another chance, since I ruined everything, and a real chance, now that I’m not an ass anymore. Although I don’t know if lily would be thinking that right now.

Heather: You’re a good man.

Daniel: Mm. Yeah, you know, I don’t know if she’d agree with you.

Heather: So, do you regret what’s happened?

Daniel: I regret that I hurt lily. But am I sorry that you and i reconnected and…that we have our entire future together? Not for one second.

Abby: There does seem to be some power plays going on, and it’s weird ’cause uncle billy is in the middle of it.

Ashley: That is so interesting. I have to get back to the lab, though.

Abby: Oh. Okay.

Ashley: I’m sorry. You know how I am when my creative juices get going. You know, I’m working on something that I’m so excited about.

Abby: What is it?

Ashley: And ruin the surprise? You’re just gonna have to wait like everybody else, okay?

Abby: Oh, okay. Yeah, I guess I should get back to the office–

Ashley: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ll go get our coats.

Tucker: Audra, postponing paris has nothing whatsoever to do with ashley.

Audra: How do you expect me to believe that, okay? Especially after the show she put on last night? Her dramatic declaration that she’s gonna win you back, that she loves you. And that nobody, I.E. Me, is gonna get in her way of that.

Tucker: I don’t care what she declares or what she wants. I wanna go to paris with you. It’s just… now doesn’t seem like the right time, okay?

Audra: Okay, you promised me that you wouldn’t let her interfere with our trip.

Tucker: She’s not! This has nothing to do with her.

Audra: And yet, here we are, in genoa city with ashley, popping into your room whenever she pleases.

Tucker: Yeah, and you think I have control over what she does?

Audra: You can stop opening the door, stop answering her calls, stop responding to her texts…

Tucker: Okay.

Audra: …For starters. You know, or maybe you can be a little bit more convincing when you tell her you never wanna see her again.

Tucker: Audra, this has nothing to do with ashley. It’s purely a business decision. In fact, would you like to see emails outlining the problems with the european staff currently?

Audra: Oh, yeah, those just happened to come in today.

Tucker: Yes, they did.

Audra: I’m usually cc’d on all glissade-related correspondence. Why wasn’t I on these?

Tucker: I don’t know. You’ll have to ask them.

Audra: You know what? Maybe I will. Maybe they’ll give me a straight answer.

Tucker: What is it you want from me here?

Audra: The truth.

Tucker: Is this–is this how it’s gonna be between us? Every conversation we have devolves into an interrogation about ashley. I wanna be with you, audra, only you. I don’t know how many times I– and how many different ways I have to tell you before you believe it! And I know this. I spent months, months trying to convince her that I was trustworthy, only to have her endlessly tell me, “no, tucker, you can’t be trusted.” And if that’s the way this is gonna be, if it’s gonna be a repeat of that, count me out.

[Door slams]

Abby: Mom, I just wanna say that you seem good, strong, like you’ve put this whole tucker thing behind you.

Ashley: Thank you.

Abby: I just wanna say one more thing, and then we never have to talk about tucker again.

Ashley: Uh-huh.

Abby: Last night when devon and I saw you here, and you said that you weren’t going to see tucker, was that true?

Ashley: Are you ever gonna trust your mother?

Abby: [Sighs] It’s just… you were so determined to get devon to forgive his father, and I’m just afraid that you’re considering forgiving him yourself.

Ashley: That was for devon’s sake. Honestly, I just– I just wanted him to know that I’d made a mistake regarding his father and I– the argument we had in paris, okay? It was just to clear the air. That’s all.

Abby: Good. So, now we can officially stop talking about tucker.

Ashley: Promise?

Abby: I promise.

Ashley: Okay.

Abby: I love you.

Ashley: Love you. I’ll see you soon. Mwah.

Abby: Yes. Mwah.

[Whispers] Bye.

Ashley’s voice: My god, that was insufferable. If you only knew the things I do to protect you, ashley.

Ashley: Oh, you look angry. What’s wrong? Audra? Wowwww…

Tucker: What’s going on with you, ashley?

Ashley: I just had a very, very long lunch with my daughter.

Tucker: No, no, no. What’s going on inside your head? Help me understand.

Ashley: I thought I made myself clear last night.

Tucker: You…you really put on a hell of a show, didn’t you?

Ashley: I meant every word of it.

Tucker: Did you?

Ashley: I know you think I’m playing games.

Tucker: Maybe. But I have some other theories. Would you care to hear them?

Ashley: If it means getting to spend more time with you, then of course.

Tucker: I’m starting to suspect you don’t really know what it is you want or what you’re doing.

Ashley: Well, now you got my attention. Wanna go someplace private so we can discuss? Wanna go upstairs to your room so we can–

Tucker: No.

Ashley: Oh, right, ’cause audra wouldn’t like that. Does that really matter?

Tucker: What audra thinks matters to me, yes.

Ashley: What happened to paris, tucker? You should have been on your way by now.

Tucker: [Sighs] There were a few business hiccups.

Ashley: Right. I bet audra believes that as much as I do. You’re still in genoa city for another reason, something that’s much more important and much more interesting than taking some stupid trip to paris with audra, and we both know it.

[Footsteps approach] Hmm?

Tucker: You’re not you.

Ashley: I’ve never been more me.

Tucker: Yeah, that’s open for debate right now.

Ashley: Think you have all the answers, huh?

Tucker: Follow me.

Ashley: Nothing I’d rather do.

Audra: [Under breath] I’m so stupid.

[Sighs] Damn it!

[Sniffles and exhales deeply]

Lily: Guess I’m really batting a thousand in the romance department, aren’t I?

Devon: [Sighs] Just think that you haven’t found anyone that deserves you.

Lily: [Chuckles]

[Sighs] Spoken like a brother who loves me.

Devon: You know, you can take the day off and go home if you want to. Don’t need to be here.

Lily: No, no, no, no, no, no. I need to work. I need the distraction. Otherwise, I’m gonna go crazy.

Devon: Okay.

Lily: Um… [Sighs] What’s–what’s going on? Catch me up. You said that you and– and billy are having issues?

Devon: Yeah, we don’t need to talk about any of that. You’re going through what you’re going through.

Lily: No, no, no. I… I wanna know. I-I need to know. Unless it’s terrible news.

Devon: I don’t think I’d classify it as terrible, but it’s definitely not good. I told myself I was ok

Announcer: “The young and the restless” will continue. If you think you have dupuytren’s contracture,

Devon: On a positive note, chance is fitting in pretty well. He’s been mentored by billy, for better or worse.

Lily: Oh.

Abby: I wanted to get here a few minutes before the board meeting–

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Oh, my gosh! Hi!

Lily: Hi. [Laughs]

Abby: Oh. Welcome home.

Lily: Thank you.

Abby: How’s mattie?

Lily: She’s good, you know, back on track, so I’m really proud of her.

Abby: Oh, that’s great.

Lily: Yeah. Um, and you? Congratulations. You’re on the board. Very exciting.

Abby: Well, thank you. I look forward to working with you.

Lily: Yeah. Devon’s telling me about the office intrigues, so…

Abby: There’s no shortage of those, that’s for sure.

Lily: Yeah. So, what about billy? What’s he gonna do? Is he going back to jabot now that I’m back?

Devon: I wouldn’t bet on that, no, ’cause originally, I thought he was just here to fill in for you while you’re out of town, and he’s turned his time here into his own personal crusade to protect jill and her legacy from us and our family.

Lily: Is this still about adding abbott to the company name?

Devon: No, that’s just one of his many power plays. He’s on to a new one now.

Lily: Oh, yeah, well, he has lots of ideas, doesn’t he?

Devon: Well, this one’s mamie’s, actually. She wants to divide chancellor-winters again and keep the name the same but have the companies be two separate entities.

Sally: Oh! Ooh.

Audra: I’m so sorry.

Sally: No, it’s all good.

Audra: You know, I don’t think we’ve run into each other since the first time we met.

Sally: Yeah, no, it’s– it’s been a while.

Audra: Yeah.

Sally: I hear exciting things about glissade’s new lipstick line. It’s made all the editorial “best-ofs,” especially after falling off the radar for years. Do you have any big plans for new products?

Audra: You know, you just have to ask tucker. He’s making a lot of the decisions right now, so…

Sally: If I may be so bold, what is it like working with tucker mccall?

Audra: It’s probably no different than it is working with, uh, adam newman.

Sally: [Chuckles]

[Clicks teeth] Point taken.

Audra: [Whispers] Yeah.

Sally: Are you staying, or are you grabbing to go? Or just if you had some time, are you interested in maybe joining me for a coffee?

Audra: Sure. I’d like that. Nice to meet ya.

Audra: To both of us being fired from newman media and surviving.

[Clink]

Sally: Cheers. Yeah, working with the newmans can definitely be a nightmare, unless you are a newman.

Audra: Yeah, no kidding.

Sally: Yeah, when you’re involved with one of them, it makes for even more complications.

Audra: You and adam… I-I’ve seen you all around. Are you together now?

Sally: We are, yeah.

Audra: That’s great.

Sally: [Chuckles] Not many people would agree with you.Py?

Sally: Very. Yeah.

Audra: Well, that’s all that matters, and no matter how complicated it is.

Sally: Thank you for understanding that. What–what about you and tucker? I mean, if I may ask, are you guys just business partners?

Audra: Oh.

Sally: Or are you more?

Audra: Girl…more. Definitely more. Thank you for not looking appalled.

Sally: Hey, I get it. You know, we care for men that are all about breaking things and pushing the limits, not so much about winning popularity contests.

Audra: Well, let’s just say tucker’s not winning mine at the moment. I should be on a plane with him to paris right about now.

Sally: And you are having coffee with me. Hmm. Sorry. [Chuckles] What happened?

Audra: It was supposed to be business… and pleasure. But tucker claims that there are some issues with our associates in paris, so… just, we need to postpone the trip.

Sally: And you don’t believe that?

Audra: How well do you know his ex-wife?

Sally: Ashley abbot? Not very well. She told me off once years ago, but that’s really about it. Do you think there’s still something going on between them?

Audra: You know, I didn’t think so, but ashley did this 180, and now she wants tucker back, and she’s not keeping any secrets, you know? She straight up told me. Of course she did.

Sally: Wow. Well, what about tucker? I mean, what does he say?

Audra: He says he’s done with her for good. You know, but as much as I wanna believe that, I don’t think he is. So then the question is, is tucker worth fighting for? Or do I bail before things get ugly?

Ashley: Do you think it’s too early for a cocktail? I would kill for an old fashioned. Hey.

Tucker: Since when?

Ashley: Mm. I’m just full of surprises. You’re staring.

Tucker: See? Right there, that…that whole whatever that was, it’s not you.

Ashley: Maybe I’m the me that finally understands what she really wants, tucker.

Tucker: You… the ashley I know…

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: …Is subtle and understated, thoughtful. But the way you’ve been lately, like that display last night up in my suite, declaring your love for me in front of audra… there was something, um… reckless… and aggressive, dark.

Ashley: Mm. All qualities that you admire in yourself.

Tucker: You’re not me, are you?

Ashley: Well, maybe that’s the problem, right? Maybe I need to be a little bit more like you. Audra went on and on and on, blah, blah, blah, how she’s so much like you. And you know what? I’m willing to change. I mean, I’ll try if it’ll make you happy. I think it’s worth the effort. What? You are no fun.

Tucker: At first, I thought there was an end game to these antics of yours.

Ashley: [Scoffs]

Tucker: But now… I don’t know what’s going on with you.

Ashley: Okay.

Tucker: And I’m pretty sure you don’t either.

Ashley: I’ve been very clear about what my end game is. It’s you.

Tucker: That right there. Me.

Ashley: Mm-hmm?

Tucker: You’ve hated me lately, despised me, couldn’t stand the sight of me, and now all of a sudden, love. I don’t buy it.

Ashley: You can’t possibly believe that I’m still trying to set you up, tucker, just so I can pull the rug out from under you. What would I have to gain?

Tucker: I don’t know.

Ashley: Okay. That’s what I’m trying to figure out. Maybe there’s nothing to figure out. Maybe I’m being sincere. Can’t you just go with that? I want wanna give you everything you wanted– you and me, the way we used to be.

Tucker: I saw something in your eyes… last night. And I’m seeing it right now. At first I thought it was doubt. I thought maybe… you felt regret that you were going down that path. But the more I think about it, the more I realize… it’s not doubt, is it? It’s confusion.

Ashley: And what would I possibly have to be confused about?

Tucker: That’s what I keep asking myself. And I don’t know the answer. But I’ve never been more convinced that something’s going on with you, ashley. Something’s off here.

Ashley: Oh, I see. Okay, that’s how you’re gonna play this. I get it, um, because you can’t admit to me or to yourself that you love me. Now you have to make it out like I’ve got mental health issues, just like you did in paris after that fight we had–

Tucker: Oh, don’t talk about paris. Can you blame me about that? Your recollection of the fight in paris had nothing to do with reality. Nothing. And that would be problematic coming from anyone, but from you, who has such a brilliant mind? If there’s something wrong, really wrong here, and if… I have any responsibility in it at all, I wanna help you. Question — what would you get with almost 750 bucks?

Lily: Billy and mamie wanna divide the company? We already went through this.

Devon: I know we did, and I’m sure he’s gonna be bringing it to the board for a vote. Has he reached out to you? Try and get your vote?

Abby: Let me guess. He’s for it. You’re against it?

Devon: Yeah. I’m very against it. I think it’s too much, too extreme, too reactive.

Abby: Well, I haven’t spoken to him, but once again, I am walking a tightrope between two families that I love.

Lily: I guess mamie really came to town determined to shake things up at chancellor-winters and get us out of jill’s orbit for good. What do you think?

Devon: Uh, I think that all hell’s about to break loose, and you probably came home at the best worst time possible.

Lily: [Scoffs] Yeah, tell me about it.

Heather: Gosh, that must have been so hard for lily after having been gone for so long, to walk in and find the three of us eating breakfast together and then to find out about us.

Daniel: Yeah. [Sighs] Well…

[Keys clink and clatter] Definitely threw her for a loop.

Heather: Do you think it’s gonna make things challenging at work?

Daniel: [Exhales deeply] Let’s say “interesting.” Yeah, let’s say that. But, you know, we’re all adults, so we’ll have to figure out a way to make it work. I don’t really wanna talk about this right now. I wanna talk about more important things.

Heather: Like?

Daniel: Like who is waylon marrs, and are we really gonna let him take our daughter to the prom?

Heather: If he asks.

Daniel: Why wouldn’t he ask?

Heather: We did find a few good dress options.

Daniel: Oh. Good.

Heather: Good.

Daniel: Good.

Heather: Good.

Daniel: [Exhales deeply] I…I don’t know if I’m ready for this.

Heather: What about us? Are you ready for that?

Daniel: You have no idea.

Heather: No more hiding our relationship?

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Heather: No more keeping our distance in public?

Daniel: No.

Heather: We can just be us? We can do this?

Daniel: Um…

Heather: Anytime we want, anywhere we want. Except maybe chancellor-winters.

Daniel: Yeah, no, let’S…let’s not do that. Wouldn’t wanna do anything that’s gonna make lily uncomfortable. Otherwise, um…I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Sally: Look, I know that we barely know each other, but I just kind of get this feeling that I’ve been where you are, so if I can help at all…

Audra: [Sighs] You know, tucker is just… he’s brilliant. You know, he’s unorthodox, to say the least. He knows what he wants, and he goes for it. Nothing stops him. He doesn’t let anything get in his way, especially the rules. It’S… [Sighs] It’s exciting… intoxicating.

Sally: And you can’t get enough?

Audra: Mnh-mnh.

Sally: No matter how much that little voice in your head tells you to run like hell?

Audra: Yeah, something like that. You know, and I have run, but I always come back. And I thought we had gotten to a place where, you know, we had something real, a committed relationship, but I-I guess we don’T.

Sally: Because of ashley?

Audra: No, that woman…

[Sighs] Has always been tucker’s ideal, what he always thought he wanted, even though all she does is just torture him. And if she’s gotten in his head again, I don’t know. You know, maybe they just deserve each other.

Sally: Look, from what I can tell, you really don’t strike me as someone that would just give up.

Audra: Yeah, it’s not about giving up. I just don’t wanna get hurt again.

Sally: I get that. Really, I do, ’cause when adam broke my heart, I-I… I was done. I was over him. And I did everything I could to purge him from every cell of my body, but… I just couldn’t, you know? And eventually I realized when you have a love like that, a once-in-a-lifetime love… sometimes it’s worth the risk. It’s worth fighting to be a couple again. And, look, I don’t know. But if you and tucker share what adam and I have, it sounds like maybe you need to fight harder for what you have.

Ashley: Well… I have to tell you, I’m doing better than I have in a really long time. So, you can’t help me because there’s nothing wrong with me. I just want things to go back to the way they were before I messed everything up.

Tucker: Yes, you keep saying that.

Ashley: Because it’s the truth.

Tucker: I see. So, if we got back together this time, you would, uh, you would abandon your family. Hmm? And our relationship, our partnership would be your sole focus? Us, and to hell with the family?

Ashley: In a heartbeat.

Tucker: [Scoffs]

Ashley: I ruined everything, and I deeply regret it. And it will never happen again.

Tucker: Hmm. And I should just believe you?

Sally: Thank you. Hi. Come here.

[ Adam sighs ] Did you get any more news from chelsea about connor?

Adam: No, I talked to her earlier. There’s no new news. I just grabbed some of his things to take back to him.

Sally: When are you leaving?

Adam: Well, there is some family stuff going on. Some other family stuff, I mean. Just– it feels like everything is spiraling right now, but I’m going to be going back to minnesota as soon as I can.

Sally: What do you mean, everything is spiraling?

Adam: Well, my son is in deep emotional pain. And my father’s life is in the hands of a mad woman.

Victoria: Nick, where are you? You haven’t returned any of my calls. Please call me back. Adam said that nick would be here soon. I mean, at least that’s what nick told adam, and that was hours ago. So where could he be?

Michael: I’m sure you’ll hear from him soon.

[ Victoria sighs ]

Victoria: At least mom agreed to try to get some rest. The last thing she needs is to have to worry about nicholas too.

Cole: You probably should get some rest too. I mean, you gotta be hungry.

Michael: Claire wanted to keep busy, so she’s in the kitchen now, trying to put together some snacks.

Victoria: No, look, I don’t need food or– or rest. I just need to hear from my father and nicholas. I mean, what if something happened to one of them? Or both of them? I mean, god, how has it come to this anyway?

Cole: I know you’re worried, but I am sure they’re both fine. Victor can take care of himself, and nick can handle whatever it is that’s keeping him from answering his messages.

Victoria: Okay, I know, you’re probably right, and maybe nick is not caught up in this whole jordan mess, but this is just unlike him. I mean, he would never do this to us. He knows how on edge we all are.

Michael: All right, look, he will probably have a great explanation once you hear from him.

Victoria: Fine, but I just hate this waiting game. I– it’s like jordan, she has us at her mercy, like we’re being held captive by her again. How much of this woman’s horror do we have to put up with?

Devon: Oh, look, you’re back. That was a short trip, huh?

Billy: Yeah. Did you miss me?

Lucy: You know, prom is still months away, but I was just asked to be on the decorating committee, which is really cool because technically I’m still the new girl. But I can’t be on the decorating committee and show up to prom without a date. And what if no one asks me? Speaking of asking, you know waylon marrs? He’s the kid with the really great hair and he’s really smart. I mean, I wonder who he’s going to take, because I would be a pretty good date.

Daniel: Whoa!

Lucy: What?

Daniel: Hold on there. Waylon marrs? Who’s that?

Heather: You know waylon, babe, the one with the, uh, really good hair.

Daniel: Mm. And are you dating this one with really good hair?

Lucy: Dad, if we were dating, then I would already have a date to prom, which I don’T.

Heather: She did mention that.

Daniel: Hmm. Well, you know… I am going to expect to meet this child before you go anywhere with him.

Lucy: Dad, he hasn’t even asked me yet, okay? Mom, come on.

Heather: Sorry, honey. You’re on your own with this one.

[ Lock clicks ] My dry eye’s made me a burning,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Michael: Look, I have no doubt your father has a solid plan. Whatever jordan tries to pull, he will be two steps ahead of her. It’s kind of his superpower. He has already calculated every possible move she could make and he has a contingency plan in place for all of them.

Victoria: Michael, how can anyone know what that twisted brain of hers will come up with next? I mean, dad missed something, maybe. Who knows?

Michael: Your father is nothing if he isn’t extremely thorough. Not to mention the fact that he has gotten out of situations much more intense and dangerous than this, by a long shot.

Cole: I just wish that he had pulled us in to help him. I mean, at the very least, just clued us into what his plans were.

Victoria: Dad had absolutely no business doing this on his own. We should have been there.

Michael: No, no, no, no, no. Jordan was expressly expecting only myself and victor. If any other member of the family had shown up, she would have been scared off. Look, I am sure that both of you are aware of this, but victor will be victor regardless of what anyone says. He will always do what he deems necessary to keep his family safe. Even at great personal risk to himself. So, there is probably zero chance that any of us could have changed his mind.

Victoria: Cole, what are you thinking?

Cole: It’s nothing that you haven’t already heard. It’s my guilt for the terror that my family has put yours through. My mother was violently deranged and my aunt jordan is too. Their obsession with tormenting you is sickening.

Victoria: How many times do I have to tell you? Stop blaming yourself. You’re not responsible. I mean, there’s absolutely nothing that you could have done to change anything that’s happened.

Sally: I’m sorry for everything that connor’s been going through, and you and chelsea too. And I know that this jordan woman has been a threat to your family, but what is this latest thing about victor? What happened?

[ Adam scoffs ]

Adam: The woman is a lunatic. Okay? She tried to poison the whole family first. Then, she burned down the prison facility where she was being held in hopes of escaping so she could terrorize them again. And now, she has burned down victoria’s house too. This is the woman that victor made some sort of deal with.

Sally: How could anyone make a deal with someone like that?

Adam: Have you met my dad? He offered to give her some life-changing sum of money and a new identity if she would flee the country and she never came back.

Sally: Yeah, but why would he do that? Why wouldn’t he just turn her in to the police?

Adam: Because he had to smoke her out. That’s why he made her the offer. And she would only accept the deal if she could take him hostage so she could make a clean getaway. But it’s pretty clear that the woman is insane. And he may be in a very dangerous position.

Sally: Oh, my god, I cannot believe how far victor’s gone.

Adam: Well, she threatened our family.

Sally: Okay. Look, victor is way too savvy to let anyone get the better of him.

Adam: That’s what I keep telling myself. But it doesn’t lessen the fear. You know, my dad would go to any lengths to protect the people that he loves, but I’m afraid for him. I’m afraid for my son too.

Sally: I understand. Look, here. You do not have to go through this alone, okay? I’m here for you. I want to help.

Devon: Actually, you know what? If I’m being honest, it was kind of peaceful here with you gone.

Billy: Yeah? Is that right?

Devon: Yeah. No one was trying to change the name of the company. Or exert their power inappropriately. It was great.

Billy: Oh, that’s funny. What about aunt mamie?

Devon: What about aunt mamie?

Billy: Amanda informed jill of mamie’s latest proposition. How she would like to split the company in two and keep it merged together in name only. I mean, if that’s not an attempt at exerting inappropriate power, devon, I don’t know what is.

Devon: I think that was just a suggestion though, right?

Billy: Right. A suggestion. Like I suggested we add “abbott” to the company name. Except with you, devon, there’s always this accusation that I’m trying to orchestrate some sort of power grab. Which I’m not. But I think it’s very clear that mamie would love nothing more than to split this company into two.

Devon: Hm. Well, you make it sound like she’s trying to destroy the company. Is that what you believe?

Billy: Mamie hates jill. She wants to run her out of the company completely.

Devon: Okay. I don’t know how she would do that though because chancellor belongs to jill. It’s her company. And she hired lily. So, mamie’s not going to run your mom out of her own company.

Billy: Okay. Fine. Then let me ask you this. What’s your opinion on mamie’s proposition? Would you be happier in full control of your side of the company? And we keep this company merged in name only?

Daniel: Hey. Welcome back. Uh, I’ll take those. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming back today?

Lily: Well, I was, um going to surprise you. I was going to make us some lunch and figure out a way to get you here. I thought you were at the office and, you know, give you a surprise. But it looks like I’m the one getting surprised. Hey, lucy. Hi, heather. When my doctor gave me breztri for my copd

Michael: How are you holding up?

Victoria: I’m good. I’m just trying to stay strong for my mom and for claire. It’s just that jordan’s, um, relentlessness is starting to get to me.

Michael: Hm. Yeah. It’s an ordeal. It’s a lot of weight for one person to bear. You found your daughter, lost your home, worried about both your parents, now your brother too. It’s fortunate that cole came into your life.

Victoria: Yeah, honestly i don’t think I could have gotten through any of this without him.

Michael: Mm-hmm. Well, even once jordan is dealt with, and I believe your father will see to it, there’s still a– a long road ahead for claire. For the three of you. I hope cole has planned to stay indefinitely. He’s good for you. And for claire.

Victoria: Are you trying to say something without saying it, michael?

[ Michael chuckles ]

Michael: No. Yes. Look, anyone can see how close you two seem to have gotten. And it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if something positive for you two came out of all this trauma.

Adam: Look, I’m not– I’m not shutting you out. I swear. I’m just– I’m not thinking clear enough yet to even know what kind of help I need.

Sally: I get it. No pressure. I’ll be here whenever you do know.

Adam: You make a good point, though. I mean, no one ever gets the best of victor newman. So, I’m going to stay as optimistic as I can where he’s concerned. He is the savviest and most determined man that I know.

Sally: That’s right. And he’s going to get through this.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: And so will connor. He is so fortunate to have the love and support of two strong and dedicated parents. You, I know, will move heaven and earth for him. You and chelsea will do whatever it is necessary, no matter what it takes. Just like victor will do the same for him and his family.

Lucy: Welcome home, lily.

Heather: Yes. This is such a surprise.

Daniel: Yeah, um, how’s mattie doing? I mean, she must be doing better that you felt like you could come back, right?

Lily: Uh, yeah. Yeah, she’s doing better. You know, it just took her a while to kind of get over everything, right? Like the fire, her teacher dying and, you know, it was a shock, but, um, she’s tough.

Daniel: Yeah, just like her mother.

Lily: Yeah, she comes from a long line of strong women. But, um, I set her up with a therapist, too, to kind of help guide her through everything.

Daniel: That’s good. I– I’m glad to hear that.

Heather: Yes, that’s– that’s wonderful news.

Lily: Um, yeah, so, uh, once she felt good enough to go back to classes, I thought it was good to come home.

Heather: Hey, luce, why don’t you and I go for a walk in that park that we love?

Lucy: Or we could go shopping, look at prom dresses. Just look, not buy. Not yet.

Heather: Okay, come on.

Lucy: Yes! I got you.

Heather: The both?

Lucy: Yep.

Heather: Okay. All right.

Lily: What’s going on?

Devon: You know, billy, why don’t you tell me if you would be happy if we restructured the merger to be in name only?

Billy: 100%. At this point, I think the merger was a mistake.

Devon: A mistake, he says. Really? And why didn’t you say that to us while we were merging and you were working alongside of us? Because you thought the idea was great back then. Is it because things don’t suit your ambitions now that you think it was a bad idea?

Billy: There was a lot more trust back then. A lot’s changed. So, has my perspective.

Devon: I mean, I think the only thing that’s changed is you don’t work for lily anymore. You work for your mom.

Billy: No, it’s the power dynamics. They’ve shifted underneath my mother. Not surprising. She feels outnumbered and isolated.

Devon: Really? That’s how she feels? Well, this is the first I’m hearing of that. Is that why she brought you in? To shift the power back to her side?

Billy: It’s to make sure that her best interests are represented and that her voice is heard.

Devon: So, that’s a yes.

Billy: Devon, you’re not subtle in your want for autonomy, okay? And I don’t think my mother is either, so… let’s split the company up. You do what you do. We’ll do what we do.

Devon: Wow. Okay. You’ve been pretty quiet, chance. What do you think about all this? If advanced lung cancer I would really love to hear your opinion about this. Do you think splitting up this company is a smart business decision?

Chance: Look, fellas, I think this is above my pay grade.

Devon: But I’m sure you have an opinion about this, and I would love to hear it.

Chance: All right. If you really want to know.

Devon: I’d love to.

Chance: I think that there is no room in a corporation, especially one of this size, for petty infighting and saber rattling. I mean, you don’t have to be a corporate executive to know that ego is the biggest, most destructive obstacle to success in any business.

Billy: Is that it? That’s profound. Who exactly are you directing these comments to, me or devon?

Chance: Look, you shouldn’t have asked me if you didn’t want to know. And you know what else? I think both of you need to take a deep breath and chill out.

Michael: I like cole. He’s a good guy. He’s, you know, solid and trustworthy.

[ Michael laughs ] I like how strong and caring he is with claire. And with you too. You know, a lesser man would have been flattened in a heartbeat by everything that happened.

Victoria: I agree. Cole is one of a kind. He always has been.

Michael: So, do you think there was some kind of karma or maybe destiny that ended up bringing him back into town?

Victoria: No, michael. No. The only thing that brought him back to town was our daughter, claire. And this hateful madwoman who’s out for revenge. Michael, am I wrong right now or are you trying to play matchmaker? Because if that’s what you’re trying to do, then you’re wasting your time. Because I have too much going on in my life right now. The last thing that I need or want is a relationship.

Sally: This maniac, jordan, has caused so much damage.

Adam: Yeah, normally that would be the only thing on my mind, what the family’s up against. When your kid is suffering, all I think about is the times that I wasn’t there when he needed me.

Sally: Adam. Look at me, please. I wish that you could see you the way I do instead of the way that you do.

Adam: Well, that’s because I’ve lived through the things that I have done. You have mostly just heard vague rumors.

Sally: Okay. You know, you act as if you’re like this ultimate black sheep bad boy. I will have you know that I was quite the troublemaker.

Adam: Oh, I know. You’ve told me.

Sally: Yeah, then you should take all that seriously. Because, you know, I’m not always to be trusted. And I can be conniving. You know, I’m a creative thinker driven by emotion to epic extremes.

Adam: Well, you should know, if I was on one of these dating apps, that would be exactly what I’m looking for.

Sally: Hmm. Well, then we would be matched in a heartbeat. Either that or both of us would be blocked for being too much of a risk.

Adam: Hm.

Sally: Yeah. Anything’s possible when the two of us are involved.

Adam: I wish I hadn’t met you years ago.

Sally: Me too.

Daniel: It’s, uh, really great to see you. I mean, you look fantastic. You were gone for way too long.

Lily: Yeah, thanks for the compliment. But what is going on? I mean, it was very, very awkward when I walked in here. And I feel like heather was giving me some look like she was caught or something.

Heather: Again, welcome home, lily.

Lucy: I’ll see you later, dad. It was good to see you.

Lily: Yeah. So sorry, what– what did I interrupt? Because I feel like I walked in on some warm, fuzzy family moment.

Daniel: Just the three of us were just having breakfast, and you weren’t interrupting anything. But we do need to talk.

Lily: Yeah, seems like clearly we do.

Daniel: Can I get you a water or a coffee?

Lily: Can you just tell me what’s going on? You and heather got back together while I was gone, didn’t you? I’m jonathan lawson,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Daniel: Yes, it happened, but not intentionally.

[ Lily sighs ]

Lily: And by “it,” I’m assuming that you two slept together.

Daniel: We did.

[ Lily sighs ]

Lily: That’s all you’re going to say? You’re going to make me drag it out of you?

Daniel: The pull was there. It– it was just too strong.

Lily: Oh, yeah, I can imagine. Especially with me gone so long, right? I mean, way too long, that’s what you said, right?

Daniel: Heather and I finally had to admit that we wanted to get our family back together. That we wanted to try and get back what we lost.

Lily: Right, and I was out of sight, out of mind.

Daniel: No, no, it wasn’t like that. That had nothing to do with what happened between the two of us. It wasn’t like that at all.

Lily: I’m sorry, what was it like? Because I mean, you were calling me, and texting me and checking on me, and you didn’t say anything. As if nothing had changed.

Daniel: And I’m sorry about that. Look, I wanted to tell you as soon as it happened, but I didn’t want to pile anything else on top of what you were already dealing with and I didn’t want to take your attention away from mattie. I didn’t want to do it long distance over a phone. That’s for damn sure.

Lily: Oh, yeah.

Daniel: I wanted to do it face to face with you, I figured I at least owed you that.

Lily: Well, thank you. That’s so considerate of you.

[ Lily laughs ] Oh, my god. How long has this been going on for? Like, the whole time? Or since I left? I mean, is heather here every night making you and lucy breakfast in the morning?

Daniel: No, it was one time a few weeks ago. Once. That’s it. But after it happened, we realized that it wasn’t just a mistake that we were both going to regret, and… it felt right, it– it felt like we had found our way home.

[ Lily sighs ]

Lily: You know, there’s a happy medium between me dragging it out of you and tmi.

[ Daniel sighs ] God. I guess, I should appreciate you being honest with me, but… oh, my god. This really hurts.

Daniel: Lily, you have to believe me when I say that that is the last thing that I ever wanted to do.

Lily: Yeah. That’s exactly what people say right after they hurt you the most.

Victoria: Thank you, michael. But you can stop.

Michael: Stop what? Annoying you?

Victoria: Yeah, that. I know you’re just trying to distract me from worrying about dad. Actually, it worked. You took my mind off it. At least for the last few minutes.

Cole: Okay, so claire made sandwiches, and I managed to talk her into getting some rest, too. She and nikki were up most of the night.

Victoria: You know, it’s just so strange. It’s also kind of comforting to know that my daughter and my mother were able to keep each other company. At least through the worst of this. Ah, god, they must be so exhausted from the anxiety of waiting for word.

Michael: No, it’s not claire I’m worried about, it’s nikki. The last thing she needs is all of this stress. Victor’s not going to be pleased if it turns out to be too much for her.

[ Adam sighs ]

Adam: This is the part that I hate the most. The waiting. And the worrying, it’s grueling.

Sally: It’s the results of a brilliant mind. Coming up with too many scenarios. But, you know, worrying never changes the outcome. So, let’s talk about something else. Let’s talk about you, since we mostly talked about me before. And I know talking about you always cheers you up.

[ Adam chuckles ]

Adam: Oh, I feel so understood.

Sally: We could talk about what an amazing dad you are. And how you’re working to be an even better son.

Adam: You are too good to me, you know that? And you’re too good for me.

Sally: Don’t you dare start with that.

Adam: Yeah, we both know it’s true, I don’t need to say it, okay? But I don’t want this to be a one-way street. You need some tlc too.

Sally: Hey, you opening up to me is more than enough for me right now.

Adam: No, well, not for me, okay? Well, hopefully once things stabilize with victor, I can make good on the pitch to get your company under the newman umbrella, that is, if you’re still interested in coming on board with that.

Sally: Seriously, that is the last thing you should be worrying about right now, okay? We will figure all that out when the time is right. But right now, I want you to go back to the ranch and be with your family. And then, go be with your son.

Adam: I love you.

Sally: I love you.

[ Sally scoffs ] So I didn’t think I needed swiffer,

Nate: Hey, man.

Chance: Hey.

Nate: How’s it going?

Chance: Oh, good.

Nate: Good? Come, sit down.

Chance: I appreciate you. Yeah, just, uh, stopping by to get some fuel. Had to get out of the office.

Nate: Oh, yeah? What’s– what’s going on at the office?

Chance: Just another tense meeting between devon and billy, you know.

Nate: Ah, sounds like devon’s up to his usual. Working like hell to make it seem like billy isn’t getting to him.

Chance: He’s trying, but you can tell he’s getting a little fed up.

Nate: And meanwhile, billy stays true to his nature, and keeps on pushing. Which only annoys devon even more.

Chance: You know, I got a feeling the two of us are a lot alike. Neither of us want any part of that conflict. Am I reading that correctly?

Devon: Well, do you think chance’s take on this situation was a result of your crackerjack mentoring?

Billy: Oh, I don’t think chance was entirely wrong. He did make one good point.

Devon: I agree, and he gave some good advice, too, that you should take, and chill out.

Billy: I was referring to the ego part and how it can be so destructive in the workplace.

Devon: Oh, I see. And whose ego do you think he was referring to? Mine or yours?

Billy: Devon, why don’t you tell me why you don’t agree with mamie’s proposition? Because the way I see it, we could divide this company into two and there’d be no more infighting. No more saber rattling. Just like that. Sure, lily, she started at chancellor, but I’m sure she’d be more than happy to go with you over to winters, and take over the world there with you in control, of course. And look at it this way, we wouldn’t be at each other’s throat anymore.

Devon: That’s funny, because I wasn’t even aware that we were.

Lily: I knew this was going to happen, I knew it. It was so obvious what heather wanted. She kept using lucy as an excuse to show up here, always finding herself in some warm little embrace with you.

Daniel: I don’t think that heather planned for how this turned out.

Lily: Of course she did. And I’m sure she really turned it up as soon as I left, didn’t she?

Daniel: That is not what happened at all. Look, I don’t want you blaming heather for any of this. This was a spontaneous, one-time thing. And it took us both by surprise, but it was a consensual moment of clarity that happened just that once.

Lily: You keep talking about the sex as if that’s the only way that you can cheat. Every day that you knew something that I didn’t, every time that you told heather that you wanted to be with her, but you just had to wait to break it to poor little lily, that is cheating.

Daniel: Look, anything that I say is just going to sound self-serving or like an excuse.

Lily: I mean, you probably wanted to be with her the whole time, didn’t you? Like, my god, what does that say about what we shared? Like, was any of it even real?

Daniel: Yeah, of course it was. It was to me. As far as heather goes, I had given up hope a long time ago that she was ever going to forgive me. It was the furthest thing from my mind, thinking that we were ever going to get back together again.

Lily: Oh, please, don’t kid yourself. You are not the kind of guy that would betray me randomly. There had to be something significant pulling you two together. Have you fallen back in love with heather?

Daniel: Honestly, um… I don’t think I ever stopped loving her.

Adam: Any word? Is dad still missing?

Michael: I’m afraid so, but I’m sure we’ll hear something soon.

Victoria: What about nick? I can’t imagine why I haven’t heard from him. He hasn’t returned any of my calls, any of my messages. Where did he say he was going? Did he tell you?

Adam: No, I assumed that he would be here by now. He got a message on his phone, but he didn’t give me any specifics, I thought it was about christian.

Victoria: Sounds like a classic jordan move. What if she concocted some story about christian being in trouble so she could set a trap for nicholas?

[ Sighs ] What if she has him too? Schwarzkopf

Lily: There it is. You’re in love. I knew it too. I knew that you hadn’t gotten over your feelings for heather. I mean, you were devastated when you found out she was seeing someone in portugal.

Daniel: I was the one who ruined our relationship by being a jackass. When she left, I knew that i needed to get my act together. And I moved on, lily. I moved on without heather in my life, and then she moved back to town.

Lily: Yeah, just don’t, okay? I already know. I watched the whole thing happen. And I still thought that you were someone I could have faith in.

[ Sighs ] Oh, my gosh. This is not how I pictured my homecoming.

Daniel: I’m sorry. I am truly sorry and I know that that probably sounds pointless.

Lily: Yeah, it really does.

Daniel: You want– you want to yell, you want to hit me, go ahead, I deserve it. I– I expect it, I mean, that’s why I wanted to do this face-to-face, so you could tell me exactly how you feel.

Lily: I’m not going to yell.

[ Sniffles ] Or attack you. And why would I, right? Because I am so reasonable, aren’t I?

Daniel: You don’t have to be. If you want to let it out, let it out.

Lily: I have to get out of here.

Daniel: Should I have told you right away? With everything else that you were dealing with in california, should I have told you right away, because I struggled with that, you know?

Lily: Are you kidding right now? You want me to feel better about your timing of telling me? Yeah, sure, daniel, you know what, I– yeah, I’m– I’m so happy that you didn’t, because you know what? Mattie needed all of my attention.

Daniel: Yeah, devon thought that might be the case, too.

Lily: I’m sorry, my– my brother knew about you two? For how long? Like, from the beginning?

Billy: I really do appreciate your calm demeanor, but I suspect this is exactly what it looks like when you’re at someone else’s throat. Mine in particular, because you’re not that subtle. You don’t trust me. And you resent the fact that I’m here.

Devon: I think “resent” is a little strong.

Billy: Okay, look, we can pretend to play nice. Pretend to find some sort of work balance, but we won’T. We’re two powder kegs ready to blow, I can admit that, even if you won’T. But we don’t have to let it get that far. We don’t have to let it explode. We can fix this right now. One agreement with a few signatures, and that’s it. It’s a done deal.

Devon: Hm, you see, the problem with that, billy, is your mother won’t let that happen.

Nate: Hey, look, I’m not taking sides here. All I want is to work peacefully and productively.

Chance: Exactly, I mean, I’m right there with you, man. I– I figure there’s got to be some safe space between these two, no?

Nate: Sounds like maybe your mentor isn’t being as supportive as he once was. Does this mean you’re officially off team billy?

Chance: From the day i started, I’ve been on one team and that’s chancellor-winters, okay? I get the sense you’re on the same team.

Nate: You could say that.

Chance: So, I think it’s time for us to step up and be the adults in the room. Because I have a feeling if we leave it up to those two, this whole thing could go off the rails.

Michael: You are letting your imagination run away with you. We have no evidence whatsoever that jordan has taken nick too.

Cole: You know what, michael’s right. Nick probably got caught up in some sort of problem with his son. Having nothing to do with this whole jordan mess.

Adam: We should call christian’s school and find out what is really going on. You know, if there was a crisis that pulled nick away, then we’ll know for sure. But if not, we’ll have reason to suspect that there’s a much bigger problem.

Victoria: Yes, I think that adam’s right. I think that’s a call we need to make because I need to know whether or not I should be worried about my father and my brother. Please, god, I hope they’re okay.

Victor: Don’t worry much, sweetheart, we are.

Victoria: Oh, god. We were so terrified.

Nick: It played out exactly the way dad thought it would. He had all the bases covered.

Victor: I really am sorry we had to do it this way, okay? But in order for the plan to work, there was no other way.

Adam: So nick was in on the plan all along?

Michael: How did that happen?

Victor: Well, we have reason to believe this is all over now. This nightmare is finished.

[ Door banging ]

[ Jordan grunting, panting ]

[ Door rattling ]

Jordan: Oh, god.

[ Jordan panting ] Oh! Damn you, victor newman!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

well, thanks for the ziti. Delicious. Just like your mom used to make it. Yeah. You liked it? I loved it. Couldn’t tell. You barely had three bites. I wasn’t hungry. Too worried to eat? Well, food tastes like cardboard. I don’t want to offend your mom’s recipe, but…

[ Both laugh ] Come on, I didn’t bring the ziti over so you could praise my cooking. I — I brought it over to keep your strength up. Is that all? I wanted to check in on you, too. Well, you know, I went to the hospital, sat by dante’s bed. I’m trying to be there for olivia. I’m just terrified that my son’s not going to make it.

[ Monitors beeping ]

[ Tapping ] Hi. How’s it going? Do you want the cheerful and optimistic answer? If you’re feeling cheerful and optimistic. I’m scared. I’m confused. Yeah, I don’t blame you. I would be, too. Especially now that mom said jason is the prime suspect in dante’s shooting. Jason: I’m on pier 55.

A man’s been shot twice

in the chest.

Dante! Hey, dante!

He passed out.

Get the paramedics here now. Yeah? Hey. Hi. Do you have a minute? Sure. Come in. My office wants an update on the dante falconeri shooting and how it relates to the shot that was taken at sonny corinthos earlier that evening. Should the individual face separate charges, or do we make the warehouse and conspiracy charges lesser offenses included in the charge of first degree murder? Well, the individual in question is jason morgan. Uh, but I’m not convinced that he tried to murder anyone. God, I hope you’re right. Drew. Come in. I saw your light was still on. I was, um — I was just hoping to catch michael. Oh, he had to run an errand. I’m not sure how long he’ll be. You might want to text him. Yeah. This isn’t really something that I want to say in a text. Carly and I broke up.

[ Knock on door ] What time is it? Can I come in? Do you have a warrant? No. I just want to speak to you. Come in. Okay, agent cates. What do you want to say to me? I need your help.

[ Grunts ]

[ Sighs ] Hey, it’s me. Wait, no, no, do not try and stand. Willow said you need rest. I’m okay. No, you’re not, but you will be. Okay? Just let us take care of you.


Yeah. Nice. I gotta hand it to mom. She gave me and molly a heads up before the invader ran the story on dante’s shooting. What did she say? Everything that the article said, just more personalized — that jason is still alive and that he’s the prime suspect in dante’s shooting. It was so confusing to me then, and it’s still confusing. I don’t know how you’re holding up. This must be hitting you really hard. Yeah, I’M… still trying to process it all. Okay. “Okay” what? Well, nothing. I just — I expected you to say that this was all a big mistake, and there was no way that jason could do this. Okay, well, if that’s what you want to hear, then go talk to carly. I was just listening to the 911 call, which ids jason’s voice. I’ve heard it. Even without the tech, I knew it was jason. Yeah. Coupled with that, we have the dna evidence from the sweatshirt used to bandage dante. Jason’s blood — appears he was shot while wearing the sweatshirt, then took it off and tied it around dante’s wound. So we know that he tried to save dante. Did he also shoot him? Our preliminary theory is that dante was pursuing jason and a second individual. Jason shot his pursuer, and then upon realizing that it was dante, tried to save him. Well, that certainly fits the evidence we have so far. But you don’t believe it. I don’t want to believe it. That is something else entirely. Olivia says you’ve been a rock. Well, I’m glad she thinks that. Hey. You’re doing something wonderful for her, you know. You’re allowing her to pour all her love and her hope into your son. But you know you have the right to your feelings, too. Olivia may not be in a place to hear them or share them, but — but I can. It’s just not fair. Oh, come on. You know what I mean? I do, I do, but, you know, what’s fair, right? Well — listen. I love you. You know that. God forbid, situations were reversed and it was my child in a hospital bed fighting for her life, you would be the first person I call. So I want you to lean on me. You can tell me anything. You know I’m not going to judge you. If jason was the one who shot dante… I will never forgive him and I will never forgive myself. Why would I help you? You seem convinced jason morgan is innocent. He is. Help me prove it. Look, the last thing I want to do is waste bureau resources by chasing the wrong suspect, so help me out. Tell me why you’re so sure that jason didn’t shoot dante falconeri. Because jason isn’t reckless or stupid. He wouldn’t shoot at someone without knowing who they are. He wouldn’t shoot a cop, any cop, and he would never shoot dante. Why never dante? Because he’s sonny’s son? That’s part of it. But the other part is that dante lives with jason’s ex-wife, and they’re raising jason’s son. You know, for some men, that would be a motive for murder. Can I make you some tea? Or you know what? Forget that. Can I pour you a glass of wine? If you join me. Absolutely. Oh. [ Sighs ] It has been quite a day. How did michael react to the news about jason? Oh, he’S… thrilled that jason’s alive, you know, of course. And convinced he didn’t shoot dante? Yes. Yeah, so was carly. All evidence to the contrary, she’s sure that jason is innocent, and nothing and nobody can shake her faith in him. And that — that’s why we broke up. Willow also says you need to change into clean clothes. Yeah, when did willow get so bossy? Oh, she’s always been bossy. She used to be a teacher, remember? Now she’s a nurse. The secret is she’s — she’s very subtle about it. She’s so sweet and reasonable that you don’t even realize she’s ordering you around. She’s a good nurse. Like your grandmother. Your mom told me about bobbie. I’m sorry. Yeah, it happened on new year’S. She was in amsterdam sorting through, uh, luke’s affairs, and she — she passed away in her sleep. We were — we were all devastated, especially my mom. Man, you know what’s crazy? Um… the first time that I held you, bobbie put you in my arms. She did? Yeah. Yeah. You were, um — you were a little premature, and you had to be in the incubator. And then bobbie, she brought me into the nursery. She gowned me up, she — she sat me in this rocking chair, and she put you in my arms. And she taught me how to hold you, and how to support your head, and then… she let go. That was the scariest moment in my life. Hey, I don’t blame you. I felt that exact same way the first time I held amelia. Jason, I cannot wait for you to meet her. She is so beautiful. She — she looks like willow. Actually —

[Clears throat] Well, she — she wants you to get into clean clothes, so let’s, uh — let’s get on it. Yeah.

[ Groans ] You need help? Yeah. No. I’m good, I’m good.

[ Grunting ] What happened to you?


It’s not like I stopped loving carly. It’s just that I recognize that — that there’s no future there. I’m so sorry. Yeah, so am I. She’s an incredible woman, and she made me very happy, and I hope that I made her happy, too. Obviously, you did, drew. Come on. You’ve been incredible. Generous, supportive, beyond forgiving. Well, not always, not today. I came down pretty hard on her for — for something that I honestly, I don’t know if she can help. Not that she would want to, like… carly’s first loyalty is always to jason. He means more to her than anybody else, other than her kids. And when we all thought that he was dead, she was — she was free to pursue other relationships, but now that he’s back… she’s not. Alright, I’ll burn these. No, no. No, don’T. I need those. Jason, there’s a bullet hole through your shirt. No, when I leave here, I need to be wearing those clothes. There can’t be any evidence that somebody helped me. Definitely nothing that tracks back to you, willow, or danny. Okay. Whatever you say. So when you leave, where are you going? I haven’t figured that out yet. Can you at least tell me where you’ve been? Okay, clearly that line about me helping you help jason was just bs to get in the door, right? No, I’m just pointing out that some men might have a problem when their ex-wife moves on and their kid’s being raised by somebody else. Okay, so now instead of jason shooting dante to avoid arrest, he now lured him to the pier and shot him out of jealousy. It’s just a theory. Well, it’s a ridiculous theory. Well, it’s my job to entertain every possible scenario in the course of an investigation. Really? Because I thought it was your job to keep an open mind, to go where the evidence leads you. Is there any proof at all that jason’s guilty? Because I’m pretty sure there’s evidence that jason tried to help dante. How would you know that? When ava showed me the freeze frame of jason’s face from the drone, I couldn’t believe it. Ava? She went with me to the warehouse, and I knew something was going to happen, so I had spinelli put cameras all over the warehouse. So I went to dante’s, ava went to spinelli’s, she came back, and there was the picture of jason on the roof with another shooter. Sonny, I’m so sorry. That must have been surreal. When I first saw it, I thought it was fake, but it was legit. And, you know, uh, I just — I just couldn’t believe it. Well, it seems impossible. Well, for you, because you have history, but, you know, ava is more objective. So, wait, where is ava right now? She’s dropping off avery at school. Okay. Alright, so let me get this straight. Ava, she shows you the picture, right? You see that it’s jason. Right. And he appears to be working with the sniper. No, he is working with the sniper. Okay, and you realize you’re the target? Yeah. Why is jason trying to kill you? I don’t know, lois, but maybe it’s been so long since we’ve seen each other or anything. Maybe he’s just forgotten what it’s like to be loyal to me.


Multiple conflicts ofinterest when it comes to jason. A few years back, he saved my life. And that’s when I got to know him a little better than I had previously. He is — was — is remarkable. He’s cool under fire and a clear thinker and someone that I instinctively trusted. Then, of course, my daughter loves him. He made a crucial difference in robin’s life. All of which makes me want to believe that he did not shoot dante. But of course, I cannot be in this job wanting to think the things I want to think. I have to remain impartial and assemble the evidence, and trust the system. I think that’s why I’m really here — to see how you do it. Stay impartial. Because I don’t know that I can. Which would mean I’m in the wrong job. It’s not exactly a shock that carly thinks jason is innocent. Don’t tell molly I’m telling you this, but carly told me that jason showed up at her place the night that dante was shot. Well, again, that’s not really a surprise that he would go to carly. But why don’t you want me to tell molly? ‘Cause molly’s an ada, and she would have to notify the cops, and the cops could get a search warrant for carly’s house. And then if they did find any proof that jason had been there, carly could get charged with something like aiding and abetting. Yeah. Right. Hey. Mom would be proud. Daughter of a lawyer. I’ve got to be honest with you. I really can’t stand the sight of carly right now. I mean, I don’t want her to go to prison or anything like that, I just really want her to leave me alone. Did carly say jason said he didn’t shoot dante? Carly told me that jason showed up in her living room, they had a big reunion, the cops showed up, and not a word was mentioned about dante. But, I mean, he’d come from the pier. So even if he didn’t shoot dante, I mean, he was just there and he saw it and he called 911. You’d think that’d be top of mind, right? And that he’d mention it to carly. Yeah, you’d think. Classic jason — never says anything. Sam, you really think he did it? Every minute that goes by, I am afraid that he did it. I’m so sorry, sam. I just — I can’t believe that jason would do that. Especially since he’s wanted in connection to the rifle shooting at the warehouse. My dad has as a rip in his coat that pr– hey, danny morgan, what are you doing here again? I didn’t get killed when the tunnel collapsed on cassadine island. Well, that much is obvious. The tunnel was blocked. I couldn’t — I couldn’t get to britt and the others. So I followed the tunnel out. It led me to the beach, and I was heading toward the main house. But there were two guys there waiting with guns. Who were they? That part I can’t tell you. But they took me prisoner. They flew me out of greece, and, um, eventually I ended up in a room with no windows, talking to a man who wanted me to do a job. And he had the leverage to force me to agree. And you can’t tell me what that leverage was. No. What was the job? I’ve been working as a private military contractor. A mercenary. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I haven’t seen jason. He didn’t fill me in on his version of events. If you check your records, you will see that one of the people who found dante at the pier was my daughter, josslyn jacks. Yeah, I remember her name from the report. Yeah. And when she and her friend, dex, showed up to the pier, they found dante bandaged with a sweatshirt with a cellphone lying next to him with an open line to 911.

That was jason. And no, not because he told me, but because I know jason. And why the hell aren’t you going with the theory that this other unidentified suspect was the one who shot dante, and jason was the one who saved him? Well, if you know jason so well, then maybe you can tell me why he ran away instead of waiting for the first responders.


I remember when jason started working for you. The quartermaines, oh, they were so upset. Especially alan and monica, but, you know, jason wouldn’t listen to anyone as far as he was concerned, he liked and respected you, and no one was going to stop him from being your friend. There was a point where I didn’t trust anybody more than jason. Or maybe — maybe I trusted him too much. What does that mean? When I was in nixon falls, him and carly got together. Yeah, I heard that they got married. But olivia told me that you showed up on the same day, and then they got it annulled. Right? I thought it was like a friendship thing, that they were helping each other out. That’s what I thought. Um, you know, maybe I thought wrong. Are you saying that you think they were cheating on you — look, I’m not saying they slept together, but they were in love. I was the last one to know. And it — and it — I just felt like it broke some trust. Is that why you divorced carly the last time? I thought it was because of nina. I’m not going to deny I had feelings for nina, but I really wanted to make my marriage work. I tried, I tried, but carly made it impossible. I’m so sorry. No, you know, it doesn’t really matter right now. My son could be dying, and the cops think that jason is the one who shot him. I don’t know why jason ran. Maybe it’s because he didn’t want to be arrested for something he didn’t do or locked up by the fbi, who already has presumed that he’s guilty. And I think it’s because he wanted to remain undetected. I don’t know, you’re going to have to explain that one to me. Well, it is clear that jason and the other suspect didn’t know there were surveillance cameras in the warehouse or a drone hovering the roof. They made no attempt to hide their faces. Which means at the time dante was shot, jason was under the belief that his presence in port charles remained undetected. He had no idea there was footage of his activities on the roof or that his picture was already in the hands of the authorities. Maybe you should be grateful to whoever shot him. If they hadn’t, he’d already be long gone. It’s hard for me to believe that carly would just let you go. I mean, you’ve been through so much together. You went to prison for her. Oh. Well, no, taking the plea deal to protect carly, that was the right thing to do. I would do that again in a heartbeat. I don’t regret that. It’s just that I would never want her to — to stay with me out of — out of obligation. Because at this point, that’s kind of all it would be. Okay, I think you’re really underestimating yourself and carly’s feelings for you. No, I know she loves me. She does, but… not the way that she loves him. And I didn’t want to drag it out, and I didn’t want to have to turn it into a test where she’s constantly having to prove that she’s choosing me over jason, because we both know the second that there’s a crisis, she’s going to run straight to him. I’m sorry. I really am, you know, you — you deserve so much better. I agree with you there. And I intend to find it. Michael: So how long have you been back in port charles? I mean, since yesterday. I was — I was working with a sniper. Hamish — I already told you about him. But when I found out the target was sonny, I made sure hamish missed. And then hamish and I, we were heading to the waterfront to leave by boat, and that’s when dante caught up with us. And you know the rest. So — so if you weren’t sent to shoot sonny, would you have come back at all? I don’t know. And I thought about it every single day. But the job the man gave me in the room with no windows isn’t done. Well, what happens if you don’t finish? Something I can’t live with. I have to finish. I can’t believe you snuck out for a second time. I didn’t sneak out this time. Yuri drove me. What is wrong with him? Doesn’t he realize that you are too young to be ordering him around? I lied and said you wanted to see me. Danny, I do want to see you. I love seeing you. But you have to realize I am going out of my mind with worry right now. And the only thing that is keeping me calm is knowing that you, scout, and rocco are safe at the quartermaines. You know, just a thought, but maybe he’s here because his father, jason, is alive and is a suspect in dante’s shooting.


I’ve got my own conflictsof interest with jason. Sam was married to him. They have a son together. Although it’s ironic, I think sam has more doubts about jason’s innocence than I do. You believe he’s innocent? Look, three years ago, if you’d asked me, I would have known he was, and no amount of evidence could have convinced me otherwise. I mean. I worshiped jason. I just thought he and sam had the most romantic love story ever. And even after they broke up, jason was somebody that sam — that our whole family could count on. You know, jason was an unconventional father, but he loved danny. He was willing to do anything sam thought was best for their child. Plus, he literally saved kristina from a cult. Yeah. So that’s another thing in the bonus column. I mean, why wouldn’t I give jason every benefit of the doubt? We don’t know where jason’s been or what he’s been through. What we do know is there is footage of him acting like a spotter for a sniper, taking aim at sonny. Hence the conspiracy charges. You don’t just accidentally wind up on a rooftop next to a man with a high powered rifle, helping him set up the shot. I mean, if he was willing to participate in sonny’s murder, why wouldn’t he shoot dante? But the anomaly is the 911 call. I keep thinking that dante was shot by the other individual and jason tried to help him. So why wouldn’t he stick around for first responders? All this could be a moot point because there’s been no sign of jason since he jumped from the bridge. Danny, I’m so sorry. I should have sat you down and talked to you. Mom, it’s okay. No, it’s not okay. I have been so focused on dante, I didn’t stop for a second to think that maybe you might have some questions yourself. I am not a little kid anymore. Dante’s been shot, so of course you need to be with him. Besides, it’s not like you can tell me anything about my father. Can you? All I know is what I saw in the invader — that jason is back and he’s a suspect in dante’s shooting. Okay. You’re right. You are not a little kid anymore. And, danny, to be completely honest with you, I have no idea where your father’s been or why he thought it was okay to let us think that he had died. But jason doesn’t think like other people. What do you mean? Your father. He is — he’s drawn to danger. He chases it. Actually, anyone else would have been trying to get home. But not jason. Maybe — maybe he has a reason. Yeah, I’m sure he does. But jason’s reasons aren’t like anyone else’s either. You know, I’ve been quoting your grandmother a lot today. And she’s taught me a lot about law over the years, both of us. But one of the most important things she taught me is that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty. So at the moment, it seems like all the evidence is pointing to jason being the one who shot dante, but he’s not guilty unless and until he is charged, tried, and a jury says so. I know you have a lot of questions, and I don’t know where your dad was or why he stayed away. Your dad is the only one who can really give you those answers. Hi, uh — drew. Michael. Hey. Willow said that you were out running an errand. Yeah. Like, uh, ten of them, actually. Well, what can I do for you? Ah, I will let willow fill you in. I’m suddenly feeling kind of exhausted. I’m going to go back and check on scout, probably go to bed. So thank you so much for the wine, and thank you for the sympathetic ear, willow. Any time. And just to be clear, no one will ever be better to her or better for her than you are. That means a lot. Thank you. Thanks. Okay, man. Good night. What was that about? Your mom and drew broke up. Wow. Uh, that’s too bad. Yeah. Yeah. Are those jason’s? Oh, yeah. Oh, give them to me. I’ll wash them. Willow, are you — are you sure you’re okay with this? It’s nothing I would have chosen, but it’s where we are. All we can do is see it through. Right? You know, the thing that I feel really bad about is the regret I have because of the distance between us. What? Distance between you and dante? Come on. You two have a beautiful relationship. I saw it the second I got back to port charles, you know, which is a little surprising, seeing as how he’s a cop, and you… do what you do. Obviously, you’ve been able to surmount those obstacles. Sonny, the bond you have with dante is — it’s full of — it’s full of love and mutual respect. Can I tell you something? For the last two years, dante is the only one I could go to. He’s the only one that I could talk to that doesn’t judge me, that believes in me, that helps me, that does everything for me. You want to know what the last thing I said to to him was? What? “Stop being in my way.”


Kristina is right, and your father is innocent until proven guilty. We’re just going to have to hope that there is some sort of explanation for all this. And then when dante wakes up, he can tell us what happened. The doctors know when he’s going to wake up? Oh, there’s no way to predict that. It could be today or a while from now. I’M… sorry I came and worried you. Oh, don’t be sorry. I’m sorry I snapped at you. I love you. Okay? I need your help. I need you to promise me that you’re going to go to the quartermaines, and please, please, please, danny, stay out of trouble. I’ll stay out of trouble, mom. Guess you won’t have to worry about the other two. What are you talking about? I worry about all of you. I love all of you. Can you give scout a big hug and kiss from me, okay? Okay, I will. Can you take him where he needs to be? Yeah. Yeah. Of course. So is yuri downstairs waiting for you? No, he — he dropped me off. Oh. Okay. Well, then I guess you’re looking right at your ride, huh? Funny. I just got a sudden craving for a maple old fashioned. You want to stop by eckert’s all-night donut window on the way home? I could go for a chocolate with sprinkles. Oh, yeah? Chocolate sprinkles kind of guy? Love them. Sounds pretty good. Might change my mind. Agent cates was at one end of the bridge and I was at the other, and, um, cates told him to keep his hands where we could see them, which he didn’t really comply, but he didn’t pull a weapon. And I told him to turn himself in so that we could sort it all out, and that’s when he jumped. But I tell you, he did not look desperate. He looked determined, like he knew that he could survive the drop into the river, and I think he did. Have the search parties turned anything up? No. But then, according to the csi, it’s something to do with the currents in the river. Like, if jason were dead, he would have washed ashore by now. And he hasn’T. Ergo, he’s almost certainly still alive. So where is he now? I don’t know. We’re continuing the search, and we’re proceeding with the theory that jason’s injured and holed up somewhere in the area, or maybe just slightly, that he rendezvoused with the other individual and he got out of port charles. Hell, he could have got out of the country by now, for that matter. He could be anywhere. You really think that’s just as likely? Yeah. I mean, I worked for the wsb for years, you know that. And I used to see these sniper teams operate, and they were professional. They get in, they set up, they make the kill, they get out. That does appear to be what was happening on the warehouse roof. In which case, jason is long gone. He could be almost impossible to trace. I mean, I guess I should be relieved. It means I wouldn’t have to prosecute jason. But disappearing is basically an admission of guilt. No? I’m not so sure. And the more I look at the evidence, the less sense it makes to me. Something else is going on here, something that I’m not seeing yet. Come on. You think dante hasn’t said a bunch of things about you in the last few years that he wishes he could take back? But you still love him, right? Always. Always. Yeah. So why don’t you cut yourself some slack? It’s just difficult, lois, because he only went to the warehouse because of me. He was telling me about the cops. If I had listened, he’d still be home. Okay. I’m about to rock your world, sonny. You are not god. You’re not responsible for dante’s choices. Or for jason’s, for that matter. You cannot control the outcome of events. But it doesn’t mean you’re powerless because you’re a parent, and there is nothing stronger than a parent’s love. That is what dante needs right now, and I know that he can feel it. I know it like I know my own name. Well, I’ve known you long enough. I’m not going to argue with you. Oh. That’s good.

[ Laughs ] This conversation’s over. I want you to leave. I didn’t mean to offend you. Yes, you did. And you succeeded. Well, for what it’s worth, you offended me, too. The fbi doesn’t presume anyone’s guilty. We follow the evidence where it leads. My only goal here is to find the truth. Great. I can’t wait for you to find the truth and clear jason’s name. But until then, I want you to get out of my house. And don’t come back unless you have a warrant. You know what’s funny? Every time I mention jason’s name, boy, does it get under your skin. Cates: Mr. Morgan. Special agent john cates. Welcome to quantico. I hope your flight was enjoyable. I have nothing to say without my attorney. You don’t have to say anything at this point. Just listen. You’re about to hear incontrovertible proof of rico violations. Those are federal crimes that carry a 20-year sentence.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I thought we agreed this morning that I would be the one to open up the club tonight. What? You didn’t trust me to be able to do it all on my own? Or are you afraid I’ll eat all the bar snacks?

[ Laughs ] Um, well, that hadn’t occurred to me until you just told on yourself, so I’m gonna keep a watchful eye out. Well, you do what you have to.

[ Chuckles ] What’s going on? Pop, I have some news that I should share with you sooner than later. Sounds important. I found the doctor that misdiagnosed you all those years ago. Jason is… the one that you turn to when… when you’re afraid and when you’re in trouble. He keeps your secrets. He’S… he’s the one that you count on. He’s never failed me. What about the last two and a half years when he let you think he was dead? That doesn’t count as failing you? I don’t know where jason was or what he was doing, but I know he came back as soon as he could. Do — do you hear yourself right now? Because basically you’re saying, like, wherever he was, whatever he was doing, like, you’ll be okay with it. I mean, he could have been lying in a hammock on a tropical island sipping rum, and — and you wouldn’t care? I hope that’s all that happened to jason. I have a feeling it was something worse. Well, whatever it is, we both know that you’re gonna be there for him, by his side, helping him through it. And carly, I’m not gonna be here to watch. W-wait, wait. Are you saying that we’re done?! Why do you sound surprised? Every relationship you’ve ever had has been trashed because of jason. I have not trashed us, drew. Are you doing this because I didn’t call you the second I heard from jason? No, no, I’m doing it because it didn’t even occur to you. Carly… you made your choice. Jason is it for you. Look, I was — I was somebody nice to spend time with while you thought he was dead, but I can’t pretend… oh, my… I can’t pretend that I’m gonna be okay. Being with you, sleeping with you, while your heart and your mind… your trust is with him. So I-I, um… I refuse to ride this out to the bitter end because it’s gonna hurt too much. So I’m getting out now. Thanks for seeing me, anna. Of course. Any update on dante? Uh, no. No changes. He was badly injured. Body takes its own time to heal. That’s why I’m here — the injury. Is there any evidence that jason shot my son? Hey. Sorry I’m late. No, it’s okay.

[ Door closes ] Kids miss you. Yeah? They’re already in bed? In bed and asleep. I checked on them both. Okay. You look awful. Oh, gee, thanks. No, I just — by awful, I mean that you look…tired. Yeah. Worried. I stopped by the hospital, and there’s no change in dante’s condition, no sign of him waking up, so… who was with him? Uh, sam. Sam. Yeah, she’s still trying to wrap her head around the news that jason’s alive.

[ Knock on door ] Hey, danny. Is everything okay up at the house? Fine. I’m here because… I need a favor.

[ Exhales ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Exhales softly ]

[ Winces ]

[ Exhales ]

[ Alarm ringing ] There they are!


You’re telling me that after all this time, you found that doctor? Dr. Paul braddock. You’re certain? It’s the same doctor, paul braddock, who slapped a label on me and ruined my life? I mean, I can’t be 100% certain, pop, but he checks all the boxes. He was — he was on the hospital staff, working at that hospital in baltimore when you were brought in for treatment after your arrest. And he’s still alive? Yeah, yeah, according to the information I was able to access. Of course, he’s retired. He’s living in some — I don’t know — fancy retirement community in westminster, maryland, just outside of baltimore. Pop, we can take a road trip tomorrow

if that’s something you might want to do. Pop, you okay? What… what are you thinking? Not quite sure. I’d always figured he’d be dead by now. I never thought I’d be able to confront the man who — who convinced me I was a danger to my family, the man who introduced me to the word schizophrenia and — and tore my world apart. Yep. That one word was the reason you cut yourself off from everyone you loved and from everyone who loved you. And it turns out, after all this time, I can still look him in the eye. Maybe I could — I could get some answers about myself and — and maybe… maybe see what kind of man he is. Hey, man, it’s a — it’s a lot to take in. Pop, it’s not too much, is it? Aunt stella and I aren’t pushing you toward a confrontation that you’re not ready for, are we? Two individuals were observed on the roof of the warehouse — jason and an unidentified man. Y-you’re already aware of this because spinelli — he was working for you when he put in surveillance, right? Detective chase says he and dante observed the individuals 200 yards from the warehouse, and then they were moving towards the pier, and that’s when dante went after them. 18 minutes after that, 911 call came in reporting that dante had been shot. And voice id confirmed that jason made that call, so we know that he tried to save dante. We don’t know that he shot him. But you don’t know that he didn’T. I need to speak with the commissioner. I’m sorry, agent cates. She’s in with someone. You’ll have to wait.

[ Police radio chatter ] Detective, how long has the commissioner been in with sonny corinthos? Drew, wait, wait! Wait. Come on. Oh, I wish I could… I wish I could tell you that jason didn’t come first. I’m — I didn’T… know this was gonna happen. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I know, I know. I know you didn’t mean to hurt me, and… it doesn’t matter what you did and you didn’t mean. The second that you found out that jason was alive, we were done. So — so, what? Every… everything good between us, it just ends? We pretend like it didn’t happen? What? No. God, no. It happened. It just — it wasn’t enough.

[ Sighs ] I loved every second that I got to spend with you, carly, I really did. But I am not gonna compete with what you have with jason. I don’t want to. Look… uh… I’m a businessman, and I know when to cut my losses and, like… …speaking of that, I-I can’T. I can’t go to work every day and I can’t — I can’t see you. And I know you did an amazing job at crimson, and I know you were only there for me. I know you didn’t want to be there. I — I’m gonna let you off the hook, and I will find somebody else to run the magazine. You’re firing me? No, carly, come on. Your heart wasn’t in it. You take care, okay?

[ Exhales ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Okay. So, uh, what do you need? It’s, uh — it’s — it’s kind of private, sorry. Oh, no. No worries. I have to take this upstairs anyway. So, um… what can I do for you? It’s hard to explain. I need to show you. Can — can you come with me? Right now? It’s important. Okay. All right, let’s go.


You and stella haven’t beenpushing me to do anything I haven’t been thinking about myself for years. So you can let that worry go. Okay. Just know that, uh, you have our support, whatever you decide or decide not to do. I do know that, son. But ever since stella told me about dr. Braddock, I-I haven’t been able to think about much else. Just the chance to be able to talk to the man himself and maybe — and maybe make sense out of what happened to me fills me with hope that I can know once and for all what, if anything, was actually wrong with me. The — the professionals, I think, they call that closure. And I want that for you, pop, more than anything. I don’t care what they call it or what you label it. You’ve suffered enough. You are a good son, curtis. And I thank you. I thank you for all the hard work you did getting me the answers I need. If dr. Braddock can ease your pain even just a little bit, then why are we still sitting here?

[ Laughs ] Let– come on, pop, let’s go. I got a full tank of gas. I just hooked up my playlist with new jazz music. Come on, son. Ooh. We’re closed! Too bad for your customers. Fortunately, I’m not one of them. I do, however, have business with curtis. Selina, I could have saved you a trip. I’ve told you already many times our business is over. I believe I have something that will change your mind. How many times do you need to hear the man say it? You need to go on and get the hell out of this club. And if you’ve forgotten the way, I’d be happy to show you. I’m not afraid of whatever this is that you dragged in here on the bottom of your shoe. That’s just foolish, mr. Ashford. And you’ve never been a foolish man. Pop, pop, don’t get worked up. Don’t do ’em dirty yet. I can handle this. Ms. Wu, I have nothing to say to you. And I’m quite certain I am not interested in anything you have to say. Even if it’s information leading to the identity of the person who shot you? You have a reason to believe that jason would shoot dante? All I know is you’re searching for jason. Well, we’re searching for both men. We’ve identified jason. We can’t pull a clear image of the other man’s face from the footage. And he’s disappeared. And so has jason. Well, jason didn’t disappear. He jumped off a bridge so he wouldn’t get arrested. Right. If he died in the fall, we would have recovered his body from the river by now, and we haven’t, so therefore, the assumption is that he is still alive and he’s injured. How do you know that he’s injured? There’s a bullet hole in — in the sweatshirt that was used to bandage dante, and forensics pulled two different blood samples from it, dante’s and jason’S. I don’t know how long the commissioner has been in with corinthos, but maybe you can ask her when they’re done. It’s pretty clear she’s not interrogating him. You know, I couldn’t say. I commend your discretion, detective, but doesn’t it bother you just a little that your superior is in close conversation with a known racketeer? Nope. Working out or beating someone up?

[ Laughs ] Little of both. Mm. I know the feeling.

[ Monitor beeping ] Hi. How’s dante? Um, he is, uh… critical but — but stable. Yeah. Have you heard from jason? I’ve seen him.

[ Exhales ] Jason? Hey, michael. Oh, my god. Oh. He was shot. H-how long have you been here? Uh, since last night, early this morning. Danny found me. Uh, he brought me, um, a first-aid kit. But I do not want to ask him for anything else. I don’t mind. I know, I know. But it wasn’t fair for me to bring you into this. Hey, you should — you just sit down. Come on. Oh, man.

[ Sighs ] Can you just — can you take him back up to the house? I think I can find my own way back there. No, I-I know, danny. I know you can… I know you can find your way back. I just want to make sure you stay up there. Why don’t you want my help anymore? Because I’m wanted by the police, and you shouldn’t be anywhere near it. I’m glad that you found me. I am. I shouldn’t be. But I missed you every day when I was gone. What’s gonna happen to you now?

[ Sighs ] Michael’s gonna help me figure that out. Please, danny. You helped me when I needed you. Now just… help me by staying out of it. Sure. Whatever. Michael, can you go af– can you go after him? Yeah, yeah. I’ll be right back.


I know you’re feeling helpless. I understand that you want to do something, anything, to make a difference for your son. Pray. Go sit by dante’s side. But do not go off to jason or this other man yourself, because you don’t have all the information and you’re gonna wind up doing more harm than good. Are you saying you got the name of the person who put my son in this wheelchair? Hang on a second, dad. I know this game. And we’re not playing. What game? The game where you offer me so-called information in exchange for access to my back room for your poker games. It’s not going to happen. You have me all wrong. Oh, that would be a first. And see, I’m also aware that you’re having trouble finding a new space. Curtis, there are penthouses all over town that will jump at the kind of money I have to offer. Are you sure about that? Because after the fbi and pcpd raid on your warehouse, it would seem that your power base is shaky, at best. That’s quite an exaggeration, but it’s true that my life was threatened at night, and I cannot and will not abide it. You and i have been deceived. That’s why I’m here. Not to bargain, but to give you a warning. I’m listening. It appears that the man who shot you is jason morgan. And we both know that he only acts under sonny’s orders. You’re saying sonny corinthos wanted curtis dead? Where was jason? When did you see him? I saw him last night at my house. So before he jumped from the bridge? Yeah. What did he tell you? Where has he been? Well, he barely had a chance to say anything because anna and agent cates showed up and they searched my house. Did he tell you who shot dante? No. Okay. So — so the — what I was told, that there was a sweatshirt that was wrapped around dante, used as a bandage, and it had jason’s blood on it, so he was obviously there. Yeah, I mean, it seems like it. Well, he either was or he wasn’t, and he obviously was. Carly, what did jason tell you about the shooting? He didn’t say anything, sam. He didn’t say a word about dante. Please don’t let me interrupt. Sounds like you got some frustrations to work out, too. So, uh, be my guest. I’m just, uh… having second thoughts, that’s all. About? I was dante falconeri’s superior for a few years. I want to be out there searching for the man who shot him. But I’m not a cop anymore. I’m the deputy mayor. And I just remembered the man police are searching for is your brother. I apologize. What are you apologizing for? Because you hope the police will find jason? I hope they do, too. Sam, come here. Look, I told you, jason and I barely had a chance to talk. I mean, when I realized I wasn’t hallucinating and he was really there, I saw that he was injured. So I went to get a first-aid kit, and I was barely able to give him a bandage when the police showed up. By injured, you mean shot? Yes. And he didn’t say who shot him? No. Did it ever occur to you to ask? I already told you, there wasn’t time. Sam, why are you being like this? Oh, I don’t know, carly. Maybe because my ex-husband, who I thought was dead, is alive. And possibly shot the man that I love. Hey. Hey. Is everything okay? Um, all right, look, jason’s in the boathouse. He — he was shot. Danny brought him a first-aid kit, but he needs a nurse. Can you help him? Of course. I’ll, uh, get my medical bag. Wh– what about the kids? Uh, danny’s gonna stay back in case one of them wakes up. Okay. All right, um, just call, one of us to come right back. I don’t have a phone. My mom took it ’cause I’m grounded. Okay. All right. Just take mine. The password is 123412. Okay. I’m ready. We’ll be back as soon as we can. Just make sure he’s okay. Yeah.


Jason? Willow. Michael says you need a nurse. No. No, no, I don’t — I don’t want you involved. Too late. I-I thought you were taking danny back up to the house. Danny’s at our house with the kids. K-kids? Yeah. Wiley and amelia. Willow and I have a little girl. Congratulations. I’m happy for both of you. I need to check your wound.

[ Groans ] The bullet went through.

[ Winces ] It will still need to be cleaned and sutured. Okay. Sonny would not order a hit on his own son, and jason would never target him. So your intel is wack. How well do you know sonny, really? Think about it. Sonny escapes not one, not two, but three attempts on his life and emerges again and again unscathed. That seems statistically unlikely, does it not? Not for someone who’s been on top as long as sonny. The man is surrounded by bodyguards and security. The shooting at the pool, even the events at the warehouse — those could have been staged. As for puerto rico, how can we know what, if anything, actually happened? Were you there? I certainly wasn’T. I’m sorry, selina, but everything you’re saying sounds statistically unlikely. Not if you factor in what I believe to be sonny’s long-term plan. I’m waiting. To annex new territory for which he’d need a trusted enforcer who no one saw coming, which fits in with jason’s sudden death on cassadine island a little more than two years ago. Now you’re the one that sounds paranoid. There are worse things to be right now. Jason works for sonny, always has and always will. And it appears sonny is done with any kind of compromise, and anyone who stands in his way surely won’t be there long. Just a few things to think about. Mr. Ashford. This changes everything. Okay, I’m just gonna ask.

[ Grunts ] Go for it. Your brother’s wanted for shooting a cop, and you want him taken into custody? Absolutely. If he’s innocent, the best thing he can do is turn himself in and prove it. You said “if.” I did. So you admit that there’s a chance that jason shot dante? You would know better than me. I’m sure anna devane has briefed you on the investigation. I’m just saying I would have expected you to insist that jason’s innocent. Based on what? I wasn’t there. I haven’t seen the evidence. And I don’t know jason well enough anymore to know what he would or wouldn’t do.

[ Grunts ] Jason did not shoot dante. And no, I don’t have any proof. But I know that because I know jason. You know jason. He would never do something like that. No, I hope that he didn’T. Carly, I pray that he didn’T. But while jason has been god knows where doing god knows what, dante has been here helping me raise his son. So if jason is the reason why dante is laying in that bed right now, hooked up to those machines, I will never forgive him. Can you tell us what happened?

[ Sighs ] I-I mean, not — you know, not all — ooh — not — not all of it. Dante was chasing me and, um, another guy, hamish. And, uh, he told us to stop.

[ Sighs ] I did. Hamish didn’T. I turned around. Dante recognized me. He lowered his gun, and then hamish shot him. I knew it wasn’t you. I went to check on dante, then hamish took a shot at me. There’s a lot of shooting. Yeah. What happened to hamish? He’s dead. When josslyn and dex got to the pier and they saw dante there, he was — he was alone, so… yeah. Um…

[ Clears throat ] Ooh. Sorry. I did — it’s okay. I did everything I could for dante. I called 911, and I did not leave until I heard the sirens coming. Jason, you saved his life. I’m the reason he got shot in the first place.


You know I want justice for dante. Yeah. Well, let me get it. I can’t even believe we’re having this conversation. I’m telling you to find jason when usually I’m the one hiding jason. But I don’t know jason anymore, especially in the last two and a half years. Or more. Look, biologically, [Chuckles] Jason and I are twins. Right? But that’s where the connection ends. I can’t explain why he does what he does. And the last thing that I want is to matter to someone because I’m jason’s brother. Okay, and by someone, you mean…? Well, it’s a… long list, but, yeah, carly’s at the top. Look, we broke up a few hours ago. I broke up with her. Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Breakups are never easy. Holding on to something that’s never gonna work — that’s… that’s worse. Yeah. I learned my own lesson about that. Hey. I’m sorry. I — I shouldn’t be dumping on you like this. No, no. That’s fine. Everyone needs to vent sometimes. Even the deputy mayor?

[ Chuckles ] Well, go ahead. Look, I vented to you. Now it’s your turn. Is he gonna be okay? Yeah, I think so. Um, willow was able to dress his wound. She’s just gonna stay with him for a little bit, monitor him, make sure that he doesn’t have a-a fever. Right, right. That’s — that’s good. Yeah. It must have been a pretty big shock for you to find him in there. Bet he was as shocked as I was. Not that you could tell, right? I-I could. As crazy as it was finding him there, it was — it was good to see him. Yeah. He says he didn’t shoot dante. Do you believe him? I do, but the police think he’s guilty, and he ran away. Doesn’t that make him look even guiltier? Jason ran because he had no other choice. Did he tell you that? No, I just know. Look, danny, your — your father is a good man, the best man I have ever known. And he has a reason for everything that he did. And when he can, he will tell us what those reasons are.

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh.

[ Mumbles ] Hey, ned. Yeah, yeah, danny’s — danny’s here. We, uh — we just got caught up, um… caught up playing video games, but, uh, I-I’ll send him up. Okay. Nice job covering. Yeah. Got kind of used to it. Um, you better go. Look, you don’t want them sending yuri to look for you because they might check the boathouse. Right. Okay. Um, will you come by the house in the morning? Yes, I will find you and give you a full update. Thanks. Danny? No one can know about this. I know. Drink this, and I’ll bring you more. Okay. Thank you. Try to rest. It’s very important, okay? I’ll be back with blankets and more fluids. Nah, you don’t — you don’t need to do that. Yes, I do. Like it or not, you’re my patient now.


Pop, don’t tell me you’re buying any of that stuff selina wu was selling. That woman has reasons for doing everything she does, and none of them involve helping anyone except selina wu. I’m aware. She’s not exactly what I would call a subtle woman, but I think you owe it to yourself to chase down any lead on who might have shot you, even if the source of that lead is less than ideal. This is not the time for us to be running down to maryland to make sense of my distant past. Pop, it’s not a distant past. You’re misdiagnosis — it stayed in your heart, every step, every day of your life. I still think you’re dealing with it. Then another couple of days won’t matter.

[ Sighs ] Look, so many people are looking for jason morgan. I don’t need to be one more of them. I don’t know. There’s a lot going on here. Maybe — I think it’s best we stay home for now. I hear you, pop. I hear you. Tell me this. Um… until you find out what led to your misdiagnosis, do you think you’ll ever know one moment of true peace? Because if you can look me in my face and tell me that not knowing doesn’t weigh on your soul every day, then we’ll stay right here.

[ Chuckles ] Ah, ha, ha, see? Pop, that settles it. Okay? We — we — we’re gonna go to the fancy retirement home in westminster, maryland, okay? We’re gonna talk to dr. Braddock, and we’re gonna get the answers that you need so you can live some semblance of a peaceful life. I understand police work,but city government, it’s — it’s like a puzzle where all the pieces keep changing. So quit. I couldn’t do that to laura. Besides, anna’s commissioner now. Okay. Well, you could always go back to being detective — chief of detectives. I’m sure they’d be happy to have you. Yeah, well, I’m not a quitter. Besides, in between all of the meetings, I get glimpses of the bigger picture. Solving cases helps one person, one family at a time. Mm. But a good city government helps everyone in the city. For what it’s worth, I admire you for sticking it out. And I’m also grateful. My headquarters are in port charles, and when the city looks good, so does aurora. Well, in that case, maybe we can discuss ways aurora can promote the city of port charles and raise its profile. Let’s set a meeting. Hey. How’s jason? Dehydrated and exhausted. He needs to rest. Can you grab the spare blanket from the hall closet upstairs? I’m gonna pack up all the bottled water and juice boxes we have. Willow, willow, willow, just… thank you for helping him. I want to help him. I just wish I understood what kind of trouble he’s in. The doctors keep telling us to be patient. That dante was gravely injured and that it’s gonna take time. But none of them can tell us how much time it’s gonna take and if dante is actually gonna wake up. I’m sorry. I wish there was something I could do. I’m sure there is something you can do, carly. If jason tries to contact you… …call the police. Anna is my superior, and I have no reason to question her action or motives. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a case to work. Welcome home, jason. Agent cates, can I help you? I wanted to walk through the evidence, but if you’re busy… I am. We’re done. We’re done. Anna, um, thank you for giving me some time. Anytime. Jagger. Sonny. I’m very sorry to hear about your son. Why don’t you prove that badge of yours means something and find the bastard who shot my son?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ridge: You softened the shoulder. Looks nice.

Thomas: Yeah, I think it gives a more elegant flow down the back.

Ridge: It does. How’s it feel?

Petra: It was perfect before, but now it’s even more perfect.

Ridge: It’s almost impossible.

Thomas: Reminds me of my relationship with hope.

Ridge: All right, petra, I think that’s enough for today. Why don’t you tell harold there are no changes.

Petra: Always a pleasure, ridge, thomas.

Thomas: Thanks.

Ridge: Well done, son.

Thomas: Hey, you gave me the idea.

Ridge: No, not just your work. Your personal life.

Hope: I don’t understand what has gotten into me.

Thomas: Hm…

Hope: Why I can’t get enough of you.

[ Door opens ]

Brooke: You okay, honey? You seem a little flushed.

Hope: Uh, yes, you– you caught me. I happened to be thinking of thomas.

Liam: Well, the, uh, multi-platform ad structure’s kicking up revenue nicely.

Bill: You said it would.

Liam: Oh, it’s so nice to be right.

Bill: Well, that’s the kind of confidence that spencer needs at the top. I’m glad to see you stepping up, son.

Liam: Yeah, well, I’m happy to do it, especially since, uh, you’re focused on something else right now. Or should I say someone else?

Bill: All right, all right I– I will admit that poppy has been on my mind quite a bit lately.

Poppy: You’re not going into the office?

Luna: I rolled some calls earlier and now I’m prepping for a meeting. I thought you were going out.

Poppy: Are you trying to avoid me? Luna, I hate this tension between us. Okay, I mean, I feel awful about what’s happened because–

Luna: I don’t want to think about that night anymore, mom. Accidentally taking your mints, pretty much hallucinating, sleeping with zende. I just– I just want to focus on my work.

Poppy: Luna… it was a mistake. I’m so sorry. Please… please would you forgive me?

Luna: I wish I could talk to my father about this.

Ridge: You and hope doing okay?

Thomas: Stronger every day.

Ridge: Makes me very happy.

Thomas: Last night was kind of a highlight.

Ridge: You did something special?

Thomas: Yeah, well, granddad and donna, they were watching the kids, so I decided to take advantage of the moment. Uh, we had some dinner and reminisced about the past. The way it all began.

Hope: Thomas actually ordered us a feast from il giardino. And he went out of his way to find a chianti from the year that douglas was born. And it was all to just recapture the romance and the magic that we felt in rome.

Brooke: OH.

Hope: He’s always doing thoughtful things like that. Going out of his way to make me feel special and loved.

Brooke: He certainly gives you a lot of attention.

Hope: Well, yeah, it feels good for a change. You know, being a priority in someone’s life and finally being the only woman.

Poppy: You want to talk to your father?

Luna: Yeah, I do.

Poppy: Luna.

Luna: I’m sorry, okay? I’m not trying to hurt you. I mean, I’ve always been able to come to you with all of my problems, but… I can’T. Not about this. Not– not about zende and the mix-up with the mints.

Poppy: Because I’m the cause of it.

Luna: I can’t even open up to rj or my friends at the office about it. Mom, it’S… it’s eating me up. Holding this inside, I just– I need to know who my father is.

[]

Thomas: Do you ever have like 14 designs ruminating in your mind at once? It occupies a lot of space. Like, it’s really great, but it’s also stressful. I– I feel like that’s what last night was about. Like, I wanted to get away from the stress, take hope and get away from it all, like we did in italy. Like it was in rome, where all that magic came alive.

Ridge: Well, it sounds like last night was magical too.

Thomas: Yeah. Hope is like the best surprise I’ve ever gotten in my life.

Ridge: But it’s not a surprise. It didn’t come out of nowhere. You worked on who you are as a man, as a father, and hope sees that and she wants it in her life.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I want her in my life for sure, and I– I just can’t imagine a life without her, actually.

Brooke: Well, there is no question that thomas is completely devoted to you. And you love the way he loves you. But how do you feel about him, honey? And I know you’re having fun, but is this really the guy that you want to spend your life with?

Hope: Thomas is the man who made me realize what I deserve. What it feels like to be loved completely. His passion for me is genuine, mom, and it is not obsessive anymore. It is healthy, and it is– it’s beautiful. And in turn, it makes me feel… beautiful.

Bill: Not everything comes down to magic, liam. It could just be plain old good timing. Two people who want the same thing at the same time in their life.

Liam: Yeah, except you yourself said that this feels different, that there is this special connection.

Bill: Yeah, because we go so far back.

Liam: Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, because you go so far back. Or…

Bill: Oh, here we go.

Liam: Or… poppy’s in los angeles to give you something you have never had before.

Poppy: Okay, luna, I realize you’re feeling isolated.

Luna: No, I’ve always wondered who my father is. But you always shut me down. You haven’t told me anything, mom, and I– I’ve always put up with that in the past because I didn’t want to upset you or make you feel like I was disappointed in you.

Poppy: And now you are disappointed.

Luna: That’s not why I’m asking. Mom, I did something totally out of character. I mean, betraying the man that I love? That is so not me.

Poppy: It wasn’t you. It was the mints.

Luna: Okay, then what about the lying and– and keeping secrets? Everything that I’m doing now? I don’t know, mom, but maybe knowing who my father is might help. Why? Why won’t you tell me who he is? Known as a passionate artist.

Bill: All right, I may regret it, but I’ll bite. What do you think poppy’s giving me?

Liam: Aside from a chance to step away from the office so I can steer the ship for a minute?

Bill: Yeah, just don’t forget who daddy is.

Liam: What you’ve never had before, daddy, is someone in your life who met you as bill. Not billionaire business mogul, bill. Not dollar bill. Just bill.

Bill: You’re right. She does see me that way. And she gets me out of my head. You know, away from my considerable ego. And you know that’s not an easy thing to do. Ah, liam, it is just really great with poppy. We’re just– we’re not labeling it. It’s not, uh, what are we? Who are we? Where are we going? What is this? And at the same time, I feel like anything is possible. I mean, it’s really exciting. I have no idea what could happen next. You know, I texted poppy earlier about getting together, but I think I’m gonna pay her a visit right now.

Liam: Right now? You’re gonna do this?

Bill: Yeah, so when the check comes, make sure you leave a big fat tip there.

Liam: All right. Good luck.

Bill: I don’t need it. I mean, if we’re meant to be, I’m going to show up there at just the right time.

Luna: Tell me who he is, mom. Just give me a name and I’ll do the rest. You owe me this.

Poppy: Okay, luna, you know what? Your emotions are all stirred up. Would you just gave it some time? Focus on the good things, like– like how much rj cares about you. Then what happened that night–

Luna: I don’t want to talk about what happened that night, mom. If I had a dad, I’d talk to him about it, but he’s not in my life because you don’t want him to be.

Poppy: No, it’s not like that.

Luna: Then why won’t you answer my question?

Poppy: Because we’re just fine on our own. We don’t need anyone else. It’s always just been the two of us. And that’s our power. That’s always been enough.

Luna: Maybe it’s not enough anymore.

Thomas: Things are coming together for us, dad. I know hope loves me.

Ridge: I can see why she would.

Thomas: I just wish that brooke could believe that, too.

Hope: I am so happy, mom, and… can you please just be happy for me, too?

[ Knock on door ]

Luna: Bill?

Bill: Luna, hi. Yeah, I– I came by to surprise poppy.

Luna: Um, she’s not here. She just left.

Bill: Are you okay? Why– why are you upset? If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Ridge: Brooke isn’t standing between the two of you.

Thomas: She’s not supporting us either.

Ridge: Why do you say that? ‘Cause she wasn’t throwing confetti when she saw the ring on the necklace?

Thomas: Well, I wasn’t expecting anyone to throw confetti. Actually, we didn’t really want anyone to know about the proposal.

Ridge: Well, I’m glad you told me.

Thomas: I love her, dad. Her beauty, her goodness. It’s just– I believe that very, very, very soon, she’s gonna take that ring off her necklace and put it on her finger.

Brooke: Honey, you’re happy, and I love that. And that is all that I want for you.

Hope: Okay, but then why is it so hard for you to give thomas credit for that?

Brooke: I have my reservations.

Hope: Mom, I had my reservations, too. It took me a while to trust him and to open my heart up to him. And he’s given me his. Every bit of it. And that was even before the ring and the proposal. I mean, that was through his words and his actions, his devotion. He’s given me his whole heart. I mean, the kids feel it, too, mom. All of us. We feel so secure with him, with thomas. He makes me happy and I just– can you just give us a chance? Please, mom, can… do you think you could support my relationship with thomas?

Bill: You’re definitely upset.

Luna: It’s nothing.

Bill: It’s obviously something. Is it the forrester kid?

Luna: What?

Bill: Did he hurt you?

Luna: No, no, no, he would never.

Bill: Then what’s going on?

Luna: I’m fine.

Bill: Well, you don’t look fine. I, um, I mean, you look– you look beautiful. But you’re– you’re– you’re sad. Your mom wouldn’t want that. You said your mom was here. And she left. Did you have an argument? Um… I know all about parents and their kids butting heads. I mean, not so much mothers’ and daughters but… you know, I have three sons, right? Liam, wyatt, and– and will. And I probably drive them crazy on a– on a daily basis, but that’s only because I want the best for them. So I try to– I– I guide them and I– I try to teach them, and… some people might describe my personality as being somewhat intense and maybe a bit, uh, combustible, right? I’ll admit that I go too far sometimes. But I mean, you know, parents can do that because they just really love their kids, and sometimes we just can’t get out of our own way. Is that maybe what happened with you and your mom?

Luna: Um, yeah, we had an– an argument. And it’s been pretty tense between us lately. You know, it’s, uh, it’s really nice hearing you talk about your sons and how much you love them.

Bill: Luna, your mom loves you just as much.

Luna: Yeah, but you’re a dad. It’s different.

Bill: Is it?

Luna: Maybe. I don’t know. I mean, I’ve– I’ve never had one.

Bill: Yeah.

Luna: I mean, I’m not trying to say that dads are better. You know, like dads over moms. That’s not the point I’m trying to make. I mean, it’s the love that matters and being there for your kid. My mom’s always been there for me, but, you know, there’s like a part of me that’s missing and… she doesn’t understand that. Or, I don’t know, she doesn’t want to understand it. Because… every time I bring it up, she just… god, I just can’t let it go anymore. I need to know. I need to know who my father is.

Eli and Julie sit together in the town square, talking about the Horton house fire. Eli calls it a blessing that they all made it out alive. Julie questions what kind of criminal sociopath sets a house on fire with innocent people inside. Eli says the worst kind and hopes the investigation gives them some solid leads but Julie says she’s not holding her breath. Julie says they are moving forward and going to restore, repair, and rebuild which she’s excited about. Eli asks about the mysterious time capsule. Julie says it’s great but they have no idea what the message is. Eli asks if she thinks the house will get finished or she’ll find the key to the time capsule first. Julie says time will tell and asks about Paulina not needing a heart transplant. Eli calls it a miracle and talks about how happy Abe is. Julie comments on Abe and Paulina loving having Eli, Lani, and the twins around. Julie asks if there’s any chance they would move back to Salem. Eli says he’s sorry but it’s not going to happen.

Maggie and Konstantin eat together at the Kiriakis Mansion. Maggie comments on the house being filled with guests. Konstantin says he loves it and having the children around. Konstantin remarks that he always hoped for grandchildren but it was never meant to be. Maggie tells him that she’s sorry about his daughter. Konstantin says it’s not true that time heals all wounds for him because he misses her more as time goes on.

John and Marlena prepare for breakfast with Eric. Marlena asks if John is up for this since he’s been through so much with Steve lately. Marlena asks if John is still having nightmares. John admits they are getting worse. Marlena isn’t surprised after having to save Tripp and Wendy from the edge of death, feeling that would give anyone nightmares. Marlena guesses it triggered John’s own bad memories. John confirms it did but he doesn’t want to talk about it right now. Marlena agrees not to keep Eric waiting.

Eric and Roman talk at the Brady Pub. Roman thanks Eric for his help with Lucas. Eric asks if there’s any chance of Lucas coming out of hiding anytime soon. Roman admits he’d rather Lucas stay away with Clyde out of prison. Eric questions how that could even happen. Roman says he had to have a whole lot of help from outside.

Steve sits in his office, reading an article about Tripp and Wendy being rescued. Steve reads that the kidnapper has been identified but nowhere to be found and they are waiting to determine if it is linked to Clyde’s escape from prison.

Harris asks Ava if there’s any news on Tripp and Wendy. Ava informs him that she was at the hospital and they are doing pretty well. Ava talks about getting there just in time and brings up Clyde and the crooked cop. Harris says that Goldman fooled everybody. Ava swears if she ever gets her hands on them. Harris tells her to get in line. Harris asks if there’s any news on the manhunt for them. Ava says not that anyone has shared with her.

Ava questions why he would think that. Harris says they both know that Clyde had Stefan under his thumb. Ava doesn’t think Stefan had anything to do with it and questions what Stefan would know about pulling off a prison break. Ava tells Harris that it’s time to take his pills.

Maggie talks about the importance of touch in later years being the most powerful form of communication. Maggie tells Konstantin that she’s grateful for him and that he’s touched her heart. Konstantin says he cherishes their friendship and her. Konstantin calls her a very special woman. Maggie repeats that she’s grateful but says she must be honest. Maggie admits that as much as she’s tried to fight it or that the guilt would subside, it hasn’t. Maggie states that being close to another man, other than her late husband, makes her feel like she’s betraying Victor. Konstantin asks why Victor would want her to continue life without being cherished and if he wouldn’t want her to be happy.

Harris jokes with Ava about the pain he’s in. Harris thanks her and they almost kiss but Ava’s phone rings. Ava answers the call from Steve, who asks if she can talk.

Ava tells Harris that she’s going to see Steve to visit Tripp and to call her if he needs anything. Ava then exits.

John and Marlena join Eric and Roman at the Pub for breakfast. Roman says it’s great to be celebrating something positive for a change. Marlena says they have a lot to celebrate. Roman talks about Abe calling last night. John says Abe left him a message and you could hear in his voice how happy he was to be himself again. Marlena adds that Paulina is doing amazingly well. Eric talks about blessings and miracles. Roman brings up Jude’s Christening coming up. Marlena says she and John would love to host a reception afterwards. Eric says that’s thoughtful but reveals that Nicole already offered to host at the DiMera Mansion so he hopes that’s okay. Marlena says she’s just surprised while John thinks it’s a great idea since it’s larger than their house. Marlena asks about Godparents. Eric reveals that Sloan asked Melinda Trask to be Godmother since they’ve become really close and she is the one who found Jude for them. Eric then announces that he plans to ask Brady to be the Godfather which John says he’s sure Brady will be stoked about. Roman comments on John looking beat. Roman says that was some rescue of Tripp and Wendy. Eric calls John a real hero but John says he’s far from it.

Konstantin asks Maggie if she is Irish. Maggie responds that she has no idea since her parents died when she was young, she grew up on a farm, and never knew any of her other siblings. Maggie says her maiden name is Simmons and guesses it could be Irish. Maggie wonders if she should have her DNA test. Konstantin jokes about never knowing who you could end up with as relatives. Maggie says it doesn’t affect anything as you can’t change the past. Konstantin remarks that you can’t change the past, but sometimes, there is something in one’s past that they will never forget. Maggie makes a call to have an arrangement sent to Paulina in the hospital. Maggie mentions that Paulina loves orchids. Julie and Eli then arrive.

Konstantin states that Eli has made his family very proud. Konstantin says he has to get going and make a call to Greece, so he exits the room. Maggie says they heard about Paulina’s recovery and that Abe must be over the moon. Eli assures they all are. Maggie adds that she heard Abe remembers everything. Eli says it sucks they can’t spend more time with them but they have to get back to DC for his new job. Eli adds that he’s thrilled they are leaving happy and not heartbroken. Eli thanks Maggie for taking them in. Julie jokes that Maggie is running the Kiriakis Mansion as a bed and breakfast for displaced loved ones. Maggie says she’s so happy that they came because she loves being surrounded by family.

Harris calls Rafe and questions having no leads. Harris tells Rafe to call him if there’s any news and hangs up.

Ava meets Steve and John at their office. Ava says to make it quick as she wants to check on Tripp and then she has things to take care of. Steve says after the stunt she pulled, they are lucky no one is on to them as everyone assumes Officer Goldman arranged Clyde’s escape. Ava reveals that she found out at the airfield that Rebecca Goldman is Clyde’s girlfriend which Steve says he didn’t see coming. Ava talks about Clyde taunting her about her son being dead. John complains that they are in this mess because they trusted Ava and didn’t expect her to stab them in the back. Ava tells them to get off their high horse, arguing that they double crossed her first since the original plan was to bust Clyde out and let him go, so she just went back to the original plan and she had no choice. Ava adds that Clyde is out now and there’s nothing they can do about it. John shouts that it doesn’t make it right. John tells Steve that he can’t live with himself knowing that Clyde is out there ruining people’s lives and that they made it happen. Steve knows it’s wrong and not what they do. Ava argues that they’ve all done some really bad things they aren’t proud of. Steve says those things are in the past while John is traumatized by those words. Steve asks if he’s okay.

Eli finishes packing the car up and says he’s picking up Lani and the twins from the hospital. Maggie says it was wonderful to see them and tells him to come back soon which Eli promises to do. Eli hugs Julie, who says she’s so proud of him and happy that his family is united. They say I love you as Eli then exits the mansion. Julie cries that it will feel like an empty place for her without Eli and his family. Maggie knows what it’s like to live in a house full of people, but still feel lonely.

Marlena tells Eric that fatherhood looks good on him. Eric says he’s fulfilled and talks about his amazing connection with Jude. Marlena asks how Sloan is. Eric hesitates so Roman questions what he missed. Eric tells Marlena to go ahead and tell him. Marlena informs Roman that she had supper at their house awhile back. Eric fills Roman in that Sloan got wasted. Marlena calls it not so crazy and unusual because of Sloan’s hectic job. Eric then reveals that he thinks Sloan sometimes gets jealous of Jude. Marlena asks if they’ve had that conversation. Eric says he’s tried to explain it and admits maybe he is a bit obsessed as he hates hearing Jude cry or being apart from him. Eric thanks Marlena and Roman for being amazing parents to him. Marlena says he always made it so easy and that he has thanked them. Roman adds that it’s still always nice to hear.

Harris calls Stefan but it goes to voicemail. Harris warns Stefan to quit blowing him off and to find him or call him or else, he won’t like what he does.

Ava tells John and Steve that no one but them can ever find out they were behind the prison escape. Steve brings up the issue of Ava’s mob pals helping out. Ava assures that she will take care of that. Steve questions what it’s really going to cost her. Ava says whatever the price is will be worth it because they saved their son. Steve says they are done here for now but he’s going back to the hospital. Ava decides she’ll head out with him. Steve asks if John is coming but John says he has a few things to follow up on here. Steve tells John to take it easy as he and Ava then exit the office. John picks up his phone and calls Konstantin, saying he needs to see him at his office. Konstantin says he’ll be right there and hangs up.

Steve and Ava walk through the town square. Ava asks what’s up with John. Steve claims to not know what she means. Ava says sometimes it seems like John just checks out. Steve says after 30 years, sometimes, John is a mystery even to him. Ava tells Steve that she just about stopped breathing when they found Tripp not breathing. Ava thanks Steve for bringing Tripp back and hopes he knows that she’s incredibly grateful. Steve says they have Wendy to thank too for being smart with the sign language. Ava knows Steve hates the way she handled things, but she wants him to know that saving Tripp was the only thing on her mind and she didn’t want to drag Steve in to this mess. Steve argues that if she just would’ve trusted him, maybe he and John could’ve saved Tripp without letting Clyde go. Ava says maybe not, so they agree to disagree. Steve asks if Ava is coming to the hospital. Ava says maybe later but she has a few things to check on at the house first.

Julie tells Maggie that it’s been awhile since they have caught up, so she asks how she’s doing. Maggie admits she misses Victor and talks about sometimes waking up and forgetting for a few seconds that he’s not with her. Maggie adds that she now has a sense of guilt which Julie questions. Maggie tells her that when she’s with Konstantin, she feels drawn to him and she hates herself for it. Julie says Maggie has been a happily married woman twice and she has a lot of good years ahead of her, so she asks why she should be alone. Julie declares that if Maggie chooses to be with somebody, there’s no shame in that and she knows Victor would give his blessing because he’d want her to be happy and loved.

Ava goes home to find Harris is out of the bed but left a rose on the table.

Marlena says she has to get back to the hospital. Roman says it’s always good to see her. Marlena hugs Eric and tells him to check in which he agrees to do. Marlena then hugs Roman and exits. Eric tells Roman that he’s going to grab some food from the kitchen for Sloan. Roman jokes about Sloan not liking the clam chowder. Eric says he will take him up on babysitting which Roman says he and Kate will be glad to do.

Steve comes back by the Pub and sees Marlena outside. Marlena questions John not being with him. Steve responds that they need to have a talk about him in private.

Konstantin meets John at the Black Patch office and asks what the big emergency is. John responds that he needs to know what Konstantin knows about his past. Konstantin asks why he would think he would know anything. John says his life hasn’t been the same since they met in the park a few weeks ago. John feels like he’s been tossed in to a tornado and the damn nightmares are endless which is also now affecting his wife. John asks Konstantin what the hell he did to him. Konstantin responds that it’s not what he did, but what John did to him.

Days of Our Lives Update

 

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Steve sits in his room with his tablet, reading the Spectator headlines which include Tripp and Wendy escaping death and Clyde’s escape from prison. Steve then tosses his tablet aside in frustration. Kayla comes in and says she was hoping he went back to sleep since he was tossing and turning all night. Steve says he’s okay and just wants to go see Tripp. Kayla says she does too but she talked to Sarah, who said Tripp and Wendy are both resting comfortably. Kayla tells Steve that is 100% thanks to him. Steve says it’s thanks to Kayla too.

Wendy lays in her hospital bed and thinks back to her and Tripp exchanging vows while they were locked up. Tripp then enters her room and hugs her. Wendy questions him being allowed out of bed. Tripp clarifies that he’s not but he knows what time the shift changes. Wendy thinks Ava feels guilty about the whole situation even though it’s not really her fault. Tripp says he feels guilty too and brings up if Wendy went back to China when her parents wanted her to. Tripp knows Ava didn’t want any of this to happen and is horrified that it did, but with her, history has a way of repeating itself. Tripp doesn’t think he could live with himself if something like this happened again.

Chanel and Johnny join Abe at the hospital. Chanel says she got his text and knew they shouldn’t have gone home last night. Chanel questions Paulina flatlining but now doing better. Abe says she’ll find out for herself soon. Johnny doesn’t get it as he thought the only possible solution for Paulina was a heart transplant. Abe says that’s what they all thought. Chanel asks what happened last night then. Abe remarks that he doesn’t know how to explain it and if he didn’t know better, he might think that he dreamed the whole thing.

Eli and Lani go to Paulina’s hospital room but find the bed empty, causing Lani to worry. Eli tells her not to jump to conclusions as he’s sure Abe would’ve let them know if something changed. Abe then enters with Chanel and Johnny. Abe explains that they took Paulina out for some tests to see if she’s as good as she feels. Sarah then wheels Paulina back in. Paulina excitedly says hello to all of her favorite people. Chanel comments that she looks so much better. Paulina admits she feels so much better too. Abe asks Sarah what the verdict is. Sarah responds that there was no blockages and her heart tissue appears healthy, defying all medical explanation. Chanel asks if they have no idea what happened to bring Paulina back and make her heart strong again. Sarah calls it nothing short of a miracle.

Wendy tells Tripp that it’s not his job to keep her safe and jokes that she doesn’t need Ava’s help to get in to trouble but she’s good at getting out of it too. Tripp credits Wendy for being the reason that Steve found them before they ran out of air. Wendy credits Tripp for keeping them sane while they were locked up. Wendy says she clearly remembers everything before they were running out of air, but the last part is kind of blurry like maybe she imagined the whole thing. Tripp says when you run out of oxygen, the brain generates it’s own sensory inputs. Wendy asks if he’s saying maybe she did imagine some of it.

Kayla doesn’t understand how she can be responsible for saving Wendy and Tripp. Steve points out that he never would’ve learned CPR if she hadn’t taught him and made him take a refresher course a few months ago. Kayla feels he’s giving her too much credit. Steve adds that he never would’ve picked up on Wendy’s ASL clues in Tripp’s hostage video if he hadn’t learned sign language with Kayla all those years ago and jokes that the sign for beer was one he remembered. Steve adds that after he caught the sign language, John zoomed in on the wall and it clicked they were in the brewery tank passed the airport. Kayla guesses Steve was lucky to have remembered sign language. Steve wishes he picked up on it sooner so they didn’t come so close to losing Wendy and Tripp. Kayla encourages that Wendy and Tripp are now safe and okay. Kayla adds that Steve is obviously worried about something else. Steve brings up Clyde breaking out of prison. Kayla says there was nothing he could do so she asks what else. Steve says it’s just the whole nightmare of Ava getting involved with Clyde in the first place and nearly getting Tripp killed. Steve adds that Konstantin is still using Maggie, Abe still has amnesia, and Paulina’s in the hospital dying of heart failure. Kayla then reveals to him that Paulina is not dying of heart failure which Steve questions. Kayla calls it crazy but she just talked to Sarah, who said that against all odds, Paulina’s heart is functioning normal and she’s just back to normal. Steve asks how that’s possible. Kayla chalks it up to prayer and love because Paulina certainly has a lot of both. Steve calls that fantastic news and says Abe must be so relieved. Kayla says that things were rough last night, but this morning, they have so much to be thankful and grateful for. Steve agrees as he hugs her.

Chanel calls it a miracle while Lani calls it a medical mystery. Paulina doesn’t want to jinx it. Chanel declares that they have her back and are never letting her go again. Paulina states there is another very important miracle to celebrate. Paulina brings up Lani being free and Chanel being a newlywed. Lani points out that Chanel and Johnny can finally go on their honeymoon. Johnny says they haven’t really thought about that with everything going on. Chanel adds that she wouldn’t feel comfortable going too far right now which Johnny understands. Chanel asks Paulina about the other miracle. Paulina then announces that Abe finally has his memory back. Lani asks if that’s true. Abe confirms that he remembers everything and he remembers the day that he found out Lani was his daughter. Abe says even though he eventually found out Lani wasn’t his biologically, he still felt so much for her and always will. Abe tells Lani that he’s so proud to be her father. Lani tells Abe that she loves him and she has no words as she hugs him. Abe declares that he remembers falling in love with Paulina for the first time and he’s so happy that he got to fall in love with her all over again. Johnny calls this a beautiful moment. Johnny says as much as he loves most of his family, he swears the Carvers must have an angel. Abe agrees that they do.

Tripp tells Wendy that his memory is pretty hazy from last night too and asks what she thinks happened. They get interrupted by Sarah coming in. Sarah says she figured she’d find Tripp there. Tripp asks if she’s kicking him out. Sarah jokes that she’s already broken rules so she’ll go ahead and break another. Sarah checks on Wendy’s breathing.

Lani thought they would have so much to celebrate when she got released from prison but then Eli’s family’s house burned down and Paulina was so sick, so she was afraid this would not be a happy visit. Eli says they are on a major roll with good news. Eli then gets a call and says he has to take it. Lani tells Paulina and Abe that they will be back with a surprise or two. Paulina tells them to hurry back as she loves surprises. After Eli and Lani exit, Paulina tells Abe that she thinks she knows exactly what those two surprises are.

Johnny and Chanel run in to Steve and Kayla in the town square. Kayla congratulates Johnny and Chanel on their marriage while Steve mentions hearing the good news about Paulina. Kayla notes that they are on their way to see Paulina and are bringing flowers for her as well as Wendy and Tripp. Johnny asks what Wendy and Tripp are celebrating. Kayla questions them not hearing. Steve reveals that they were held hostage. Kayla says it was a close call but they were rescued by Steve and John, so now they are doing okay. Chanel guesses that makes four miracles now which Steve questions. Chanel and Johnny then announce that Abe got his memory back which amazes Steve and Kayla. Kayla says that must be such a relief for their entire family. Chanel credits all the hours that Kayla worked with Abe. Kayla says they all did an amazing job being supportive and encouraging. Kayla calls it very unusual for someone to get their memory back so suddenly and completely. Chanel remarks that it seems like everything about yesterday was unusual.

Sarah guesses that Tripp looked at he and Wendy’s charts already, joking that they say doctors are the worst patients. Steve and Kayla arrive. Kayla questions Tripp being out of bed. Wendy assures they are feeling much better. Kayla asks Sarah how they are doing. Sarah confirms their levels are good, they are stable and look a lot better than when they came in. Kayla drops off flowers for Wendy. Sarah tells Kayla that she’d love to chat with her about something so they step out of the room to talk. Steve asks Tripp if Ava was there to spin her side of the story. Tripp knows Steve is angry but says Clyde forced Ava in to this and she had no choice. Steve argues that people died because of the tainted drugs that Ava was running through the Bistro and that Tripp and Wendy could have died. Tripp insists that Ava was trying to protect them and begged them to leave Salem but he couldn’t leave her to deal with this all on her own. Steve questions Tripp knowing that Ava was involved in the drug operation. Steve demands an answer as to how long Tripp has known and why he didn’t tell him.

Paulina tells Abe that she guesses they aren’t going to tell the kids about Lexie. Abe says they wouldn’t believe that his first wife appeared to them from the afterlife and miraculously healed both of them. Paulina is quite sure that they both did not imagine the same thing but she wonders if Abe getting back some memories of her might cause him to wonder why he was with her which Abe questions. Paulina worries about Abe remembering all the lies she told and the problems she caused. Abe tells Paulina that she’s a complicated and amazing woman.

Lani calls it a great opportunity for Eli but they love being in Salem. Paulina guesses they are going anyways. Lani says only if Paulina will be truly happy for them, otherwise they will stay here. Lani tells Paulina to just say the word. Paulina says not to put this on her. Paulina says she doesn’t want them to go but understands they have to do what’s right for their family. Paulina adds that when she can finally travel, she’ll be there as often as she can. Lani hugs Paulina as Chanel and Johnny return to the room. Chanel asks what’s going on.

Kayla comes over and says she’s ready to go but notes Steve is distracted and asks what’s going on.
