Thomas asks Hope to marry him, again, but she turns him down, again, saying that she’s just not ready yet. He storms out, upset.

Liam visits Steffy at work, expressing concern about how she and Finn are dealing with Sheila’s death. She tells him that they’ll get through it. She’s more worried about Thomas and Hope.  Later, she finds a distraught Thomas. He fills her in on what happened. She tells him to let Hope go and move on because she’s never going to commit to him.

Poppy visits Finn at home and asks her if he can act as a father figure and strong male presence in Luna’s life, since she doesn’t have a father. Finn doesn’t really understand why she doesn’t just tell Luna who her father was, but he agrees to do that. She assures him that Luna was “conceived in love.”

Bill comforts Luna, who’s upset and wants to find her real father. He gives her good advice, and they bond.

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.

[ 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.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Daniel: Hey. Here you are.

Heather: Hi. That took, uh, that took a little longer than I thought.

Daniel: Yeah. [Sighs]

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?

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.

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: Finn, what is it?

Finn: I can’t stop seeing her.

Steffy: Who?

Finn: Sheila.

Bill: Thank you.

Liam: Ah, thank you. What are you in the mood for?

Bill: I don’t know. Pizza, pasta. You buying?

Liam: Well, technically, if I’m buying, you’re buying, so yeah, I’m buying.

Bill: Good boy. Well, this I know for sure. It’s going to be a lot more enjoyable eating here now that sheila is permanently out of commission. And out of our lives.

Thomas: I hope you saved some room, because I whipped up something special.

Hope: Oh, well, your whipping-up skills have certainly been impressive thus far. I mean, you sure know how to order well.

Thomas: No, no, no. This time I actually made it myself. I want you to guess.

Hope: Um… brownies.

Thomas: Brown– brownies. You thought that I– special date night, I made brownies?

Hope: Douglas says that he loves making brownies with you, and it’s not exactly like you have all the free time in the world to study puff pastry.

Thomas: Okay, you do make a point, but this is something a little different. Okay, do you remember that little cafe off of imperiali? We had coffee, and…

Hope: You made panna cotta.

Thomas: I made panna cotta. It’s actually not that hard after the 11th try. Let me know what you think.

Hope: Gladly. Thomas, thank you. All of this has been so sweet. The wine, the music, the food.

Thomas: Look, you love italy, right? And italian food? So do I. And it also reminds me of that wonderful time that we’ll never forget.

Hope: I’ll never forget it either.

Liam: You– listen, you get no argument from me. Sheila’s death was…

Bill: A long time coming. And now that it has, it’ll all be a lot easier.

Liam: Well, not all. I mean, steffy I’m not so sure about yet.

Bill: How’s she doing?

Liam: As you’d expect. On the one hand, she’s relieved not to be living under threat of sheila for the rest of her life. On the other hand, she’s the one who eliminated that threat herself.

Bill: And we’re all grateful for that.

Liam: Yeah, you just imagine what she’s going through, right? ‘Cause steffy’s not a violent person. So, for her to pick up a knife and plunge it into sheila as she was lunging at her…

Bill: Well, it sounds like it was her only option and she was totally justified in doing it.

Lima: Absolutely, it was. 100%. It’s just that from steffy’s point of view, she has to live with this for the rest of her life, having killed somebody, self-defense or not.

Steffy: You can’t stop seeing sheila. What do you mean?

Finn: I– I– I keep seeing flashes of her just– just lying on the floor. And look, I know that it’s not real, but it seems– it seems real.

Steffy: It’s okay, it’s okay. Everything’s all right. Okay, come here. It’s gonna be okay. It’s gonna be okay. The power of a skin filler

Hope: Let me do the dishes.

Thomas: No! Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. That’s not how this works. I don’t invite a wonderful, beautiful, sexy woman over to my mojo dojo casa house and then cook her a wonderful meal and force her to do the dishes. That’s not what happens.

Hope: Well, I volunteered. But, I mean, if you want to do things your way…

Thomas: My way? If we were doing things my way, we wouldn’t be talking about dishes.

[ Both chuckling ] Oh, I love the way you smile. I love the way you make me smile. I just, um, I guess I’m feeling a little guilty right now.

Hope: For what?

Thomas: Steffy. Everything she’s going through, I just wish I could be there to help her.

Hope: You are helping her, thomas. You’ve been such a supporter, loving her and caring for her the way a big brother should.

Thomas: I don’t know. I mean, look, she went through something terrible. She had sheila break into her home. She was just trying to have a night alone, and then she… had to kill someone. That’S…

Hope: Look, as strong as steffy is, taking a life, even if it is justified, that is still a horrifying thing.

Thomas: Yes, and she’s traumatized right now and she deserves to have someone there to help her. I just wish finn could put his stuff aside.

Hope: Finn is struggling too.

Thomas: I know finn’s struggling. I just, I think he can compartmentalize a little bit and help her, and… you know what? We’re not supposed to be talking about them. This night is about us.

Hope: It is. I mean, you brought italy all the way over here to us.

Thomas: Yeah. It’s not the same as being there, though, is it?

Hope: You came pretty close. But you do have a point. There is only one roma.

Thomas: That’s right. The one that we shared together.

Hope: I wanna go back.

Thomas: We should.

Hope: When?

Thomas: There’s nothing stopping us. Let’s go.

Hope: What exactly are you saying?

Bill: You have gotta be kidding me.

Liam: Not kidding you. Steffy’s the one who told me.

Bill: Her husband, the man who supposedly loves and cares about her, walks out on steffy when she needs him most?

Liam: Which, as you can imagine, upsets steffy just a little bit.

Bill: Upset? She should be furious. This guy abandons her at a time like this?

Liam: It’s not that he’s not loyal to steffy. Because he understands that she never would’ve picked up that knife. She never would’ve done what she did if there was any other option. What he’s all messed up about is that it was his wife who killed his birth mother.

Bill: His birth mother was a psycho who was in and out of prison for years. And now she’s dead and he’s developed some kind of bizarre mommy’s boy connection to her?

Liam: Oh, no, but you see, according to finn, it’s “complicated.”

Bill: It’s just nuts. I hope you told him that. You said you went to see him.

Lima: Oh, yeah, well, when i found out that he walked out on steffy, yeah, I did go see him.

Bill: Gave him a piece of your mind.

Liam: I didn’t mince words. Not that the guy gives a damn what I think.

Bill: So, he just got defensive?

Liam: He got defensive because he just thinks I’m– I’m, like, waiting in the wings to pick up all the pieces when, you know, this doesn’t work out with him and steffy.

Bill: Well, is that what you’re doing, liam?

Liam: Well, it is like you said. At this moment, finn’s focus should be on steffy and his family and being exactly the man that steffy needs him to be. And… if he can’t do that, it’s like I told steffy. I can.

Steffy: Finn, this is a really traumatic time. It’s not gonna be easy, but we’re gonna get through it, okay? So tell me, what’s– what’s going on with you?

Finn: I just, um, oh, when I– when I got the fire going, when you went to change and I moved the gate, and– I don’t know, I– I felt, like, this presence. But then I– I turned back and it was nothing. But then I– I felt it again. But only this time, I saw it. It was– it was my mom. She was laying there bloody. And as soon as I saw it, it disappeared. And I don’t know if it was just, like, what I imagined she looked like, but then you came back and we were on the couch and I saw it again. Only this time, she called out my name. And as soon as I saw it, it was just like a flash and it was gone. It was just– it was just like my dream. Only this time I was awake, right here, like, right on the floor. I don’t– what’s happening to me? If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Hope: Oh, you wanna whisk me away to rome?

Thomas: I would like nothing better.

Hope: Me too.

Thomas: Really?

Hope: Really. I miss it. You know, I miss the people and the places. The history. Ugh, the food. And as delicious as this meal was… I don’t know, there was still that amazing meal that we had at our favorite restaurant down by the spanish steps. Remember?

Thomas: How could I forget? How could I forget anything we shared in rome? This is where it happens, hope. Your vision brought to life.

Hope: This dream wouldn’t be a reality if it wasn’t for you.

Hope: Rome is where all of this started for us.

Thomas: The love, the romance, the beauty. Rome will always be with us.

Bill: I’m impressed, son.

Liam: With what?

Bill: With steffy, that she can always count on you.

Liam: Oh. Well, she can always count on me. That’s not just words.

Bill: I know. Just like I also know that you will always love her.

Liam: Well, we do share a beautiful daughter together.

Bill: Yes, you do, but this isn’t just about kelly. Your feelings for steffy will never go away.

Liam: No, they won’T. She’s a part of me. Always will be.

Stefy: Finn, I know this isn’t easy to hear, but… sheila is gone.

Finn: No, I– I know. It’s just… I think my mind is just playing tricks.

Steffy: It’s just gonna take some time to process. Make sense of it all.

Finn: Yeah.

[ Phone ringing ]

Steffy: Hold on. It’s liam. I don’t have to take this.

Finn: Answer it, ’cause it might be about kelly.

Steffy: Hey, liam. Is kelly okay?

Liam: No, no, kelly’s fine.

Steffy: Okay, thank god.

Liam: Everything all right?

Steffy: It will be.

Liam: Are you, uh– are you alone?

Steffy: No, I’m with finn right now. It’s a bad time. Let’s talk later.

Liam: Okay, all right, but–

Bill: Steffy okay?

Liam: I hope so.

Bill: Couldn’t tell?

Liam: I– no, but I’ve got a bad feeling it’s got something to do with finn.

Steffy: I feel awful that you’re going through this.

Finn: I mean, look, so are you.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: I mean, everything that’s happened.

Steffy: We make quite the pair, huh?

[ Finn chuckles ] And no matter how difficult this is, and yes, we are both having different reactions to this, we are gonna get through it. We’re gonna overcome this. Tell me you understand that, finn. Bipolar 1, I got help to push back.

Hope: I agree that the romance and the spirit of rome just never left us. And I don’t ever wanna lose sight of that.

Thomas: We won’T. I mean, you know, there’s a place that I remember above all else, a place that has so much history, especially for us.

Hope: Could it be… colosseum? Where I finally gave in and kissed you?

Thomas: Mm-hmm. That’s where our future began. A future that still awaits us.

Bill: Well, well, well. The good doctor finally finds his way back home.

Liam: It’s about time.

Bill: Considering the hell that steffy’s been through, he should be there for her.

Liam: Yeah, well, he will if he gets his head on straight. The woman’s dead. He needs to let her be dead. Not just for his sake, but for steffy’S.

Steffy: And you have a beautiful mind. You’re smart and you’re analytical. It’s one of the many reasons I fell in love with you. Okay, so why don’t we just talk about this as facts, all right? Sheila died. She died here, in our home. And now you’re getting these, like, flashes. And you weren’t there when it happened, but these flashes are taking you there, like… I’m just– I’m trying to make sense of this all. I’m trying to help. I really am.

Finn: Yeah, yeah.

Steffy: Well, she’s been taken to the morgue.

Finn: Hey. I appreciate what you’re doing. You’re so sweet. I mean, look, I agree, but I– you know, I know all this. It’s not like I’m confused or not believing what happened. The fact of the matter is, I’m having these flashes of sheila lying on the floor, and I just… I don’t know what’s going on with me. I mean, it’s just– I know it sounds crazy, but maybe I am going crazy.

Steffy: Finn, you’re under a lot of stress right now. Sheila’s death has taken a toll, and your mind’s just trying to catch up with you.

Finn: You’re the best. I’m sorry. I just– the last thing you need right now is me like this. I’m your husband. I should be your rock, but instead you’re… being that for me.

Steffy: It’s okay. It’s what I signed up for. Don’t sell yourself short. Having you here is just as important to me. I don’t wanna go through this alone. And I know you don’t want that either. We will overcome this, okay? We will. As long as we’re together. We’ll get through it.

Finn: That’s right.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Chance: Hm, last night was–

[ Summer hushes ]

Summer: Don’t break the spell.

Chance: Right, right, right, right. Definitely not morning. We definitely didn’t oversleep.

Summer: Now, with the shades drawn, we could pretend all day.

Chance: It feels like midnight to me.

[ Phones pinging ]

Summer: No.

Chance: Sound of reality.

Billy: Rough night?

Phyllis: Mm. None of your business.

Billy: You know, I’ll be forever indebted to you for showing me that hangover cure that you actually saved me with. I can head on into the kitchen and find some raw eggs. It works every time.

Phyllis: Thank you, but no thank you. I’ve learned that some of my, um, great ideas weren’t so great after all.

[ Knocking on door ]

Nick: Hey, you’re back. I thought you were staying with connor.

Adam: Uh, chelsea is with him. He’s got a few more sessions with the, um, with the ocd specialist.

Nick: Sorry, adam. I… know how tough it can be when your kid’s facing something like this. Look, you don’t have to be here right now, man. Go take care of your family.

Adam: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’ll cover a few meetings, and then I’ll head back. But mainly, I came to get some of connor’s things that he’s been missing. And he doesn’t want, uh, anyone else to touch it. It’s part of his– his thing.

Nick: Well, if there’s anything I can do to help connor or you, just ask.

Adam: Well, I appreciate that. Uh, I’m actually supposed to meet dad. But I don’t know where he is. And now it’s looking like he is mia.

Adam: Saw the news that claire was released. Gotta say, I was not surprised about that.

Nick: I guess you haven’t heard the latest.

Adam: Hm?

Nick: Last night, victoria’s house burned down. Thank god no one was there.

Adam: What? How did that happen?

[ Phones pinging ] “Come to the ranch. Important.” Okay. Why is michael summoning us?

Nick: Can’t be good.

Adam: All right, well, let’s go. Nick?

Nick: I just got some, uh, some information I’ve been waiting for. It’s something I got to handle.

Adam: Well, is it christian?

Nick: I just got to take care of this, adam. I’ll meet you at the ranch.

Nikki: Oh, michael, thank god! Where’s victor? Why isn’t he with you? What’s happened?

Jordan: 10 more miles down this road. And don’t even think about doing anything foolish.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Jordan: I don’t think anyone’s followed us.

Victor: When I make a deal, I stand by it, all right? And no one knew where you and I were meeting. Besides that, I gave myself up willingly to ensure your escape.

Jordan: Because you aren’t foolish enough to work against me.

Victor: I would say.

[ Jordan chuckles ]

Jordan: So, uh, tell me, what does your family think of our little arrangement? They can’t be too happy that I’m going to be living the rest of my life out in the lap of luxury in some french chateau on your dime.

Victor: Right. I made that decision on my own, all right?

Jordan: Oh, don’t lie to me. You had help with your plan. Nikki’s poor, tragic, alcoholic friend gave you my phone number. And then my ingrate niece, claire, called me with your message, which she will regret soon.

Victor: Wait a minute. Wasn’t it enough for you to burn down my daughter’s house?

Jordan: For claire’s betrayal? No. No. I– I devoted my life to that girl, and she abandons me the minute she thinks that she’s being welcomed by the newman family, the family that destroyed her grandmother, my sister. Is that what you’re doing? Are you welcoming her? Or are you merely just using her the way you used eve?

Victor: For your information, your niece, claire, was only too happy to seal your fate.

Nikki: You sent me one text hours ago telling me not to worry, that everything had gone according to plan.

Michael: And I stand by that.

Nikki: All right, well, now I want to know everything else. Every detail. Has jordan been arrested? Why hasn’t victor tried to contact me? Where–

Michael: All right, nikki, nikki, I am sorry things have had to be so cryptic and clandestine.

Nikki: Will you just please tell me?

Michael: All right. Jordan has not been arrested.

Nikki: Well, where the hell is she? Did she even show up?

Michael: Before I can answer the rest of your questions, victor insisted that i explain the final phase of his plan to the entire family so that you would all get the whole picture, and it would make sense.

Nikki: Oh, for god’s sake, michael. Please just tell me that he’s all right.

Billy: Wow, that’s actually impressive, you admitting to having bad ideas. It’s real progress, phyllis. Of course, most people learn these life lessons that involve wearing sunglasses at breakfast time earlier in life.

Phyllis: Oh, my gosh. I’m just minding my own business, billy.

Billy: Hmm.

Phyllis: That’s what I’m doing. Everybody in this town tells me to do that all the time, like, all the time. And here you are just being so judgy of me. Just a stream of judgmental words. Go away.

Billy: All right. Fair enough. I’ll be right over here if you need me.

[ Phone ringing ] Chance, you at the office?

Chance: Hey, welcome back, man. How was the trip?

Billy: Uh, it was as good as can be expected under the circumstances. How soon can you meet?

Summer: You coming?

Chance: Where are you?

Billy: I’m at society, about to have breakfast. Why don’t you come here? I’ll order a pot of coffee. What do you want to eat? I’ll order it now.

Summer: Chance.

Chance: You know what? Don’t wait on me, man. I’ll be there when I can. ()

Billy: Hi, it’s me again. Sorry to bug.

Phyllis: Then– then don’T.

[ Billy sighs ]

Billy: Yeah, I have to. For whatever reason, I have this unexplainable responsibility to want to cheer you up.

Phyllis: Well, you’re doing a bang-up job.

Billy: Clearly, there’s something going on, so… what is it? I want to help.

Phyllis: Really? Why the sudden desire to want to help me? I mean, is this your one act of good karma for the week or…

Billy: Hm. Hm. That’s actually interesting. Yeah. Yeah, maybe you’re right. Maybe it is. I had to leave chelsea alone to deal with some challenges that connor is going through up at school, and I didn’t want to come back, but she insisted that I come back. She said she wanted to spend some quality time with her son, and I feel guilty about that. So, yeah, you are the beneficiary of me wanting to feel useful today.

Phyllis: Lucky me.

Billy: Hm. You know, I’m a pretty good talker, but I’m actually a fantastic listener.

Phyllis: Billy…

Billy: Ah. There you are.

Phyllis: I know you’re a good listener. I know that. You’re not really hearing what I’m saying.

Billy: Yeah. That’s probably true, but hey, are you okay?

Phyllis: I appreciate what you’re doing. I’m sure, um, it’s coming from a good place. And– and also, I– I’m sorry that connor is going through something.

Billy: Thank you.

Phyllis: Yeah. But I don’t want to talk about what’s going on with me to you. So you offered, and that’s awesome. And I have it on good authority from, you know, the, what– what is it? The karma fairy that, um, you offering absolves you of any guilty feelings you might have toward me.

Billy: You sure?

Phyllis: Yeah, I’m sure.

Billy: Okay.

Phyllis: Besides, what are you even doing here? Um, I thought you would be, um, working really hard at, uh, chancellor-winters. I hear that you are trying to stake a claim in the company.

Billy: Where’d you hear that from?

Phyllis: Around.

Billy: Mm. Around, huh?

Phyllis: I heard it from amanda.

Billy: Ah! Amanda.

Phyllis: I hear that there’s– yeah. We’re– we’re really good friends, so…

Billy: Naturally.

Phyllis: She told me that there’s a power play going on between you and devon.

[ Billy scoffs ] That you’re trying to be the head honcho at chancellor-winters. So, I’m– I’m actually surprised that you could pull yourself away from chelsea and connor.

Michael: There are safeguards in place to protect victor.

Nikki: From what? Where is he right now, and is he all right?

Michael: It’ll be okay. It’ll be okay. It will be clear once I explain.

Nikki: Well, stop stalling and do it.

Claire: Michael, you’re here. Did you meet with jordan?

Nikki: I’ve been trying to get that information out of him.

Claire: Where’s victor? Did something happen?

Victoria: Sorry to keep everyone waiting. We were in town meeting with my insurance agent about the fire, and, uh, I got your text.

Cole: So yo– your text sounded urgent.

Victoria: What’s going on?

Nikki: Your father met with jordan last night, and he hasn’t come back.

Victoria: What? How come nobody told us?

Michael: Well, hey, you know what? Let’s just stay calm. As I’ve said, I will explain. We’re just waiting on nick and adam.

Adam: Okay, I’m here. Nick shouldn’t be far behind. What is this all about? And where is dad?

Nikki: That’s what I want to know. Right now. We’re not waiting for nicholas.

Michael: Very well. Victor is with jordan. She’s holding him hostage.

Jordan: Come on, admit it. You don’t give a damn about my niece.

Victor: You’re talking about my granddaughter.

[ Jordan laughs ]

Jordan: Really? You expect me to believe that you care at all about little claire joining the high and mighty newman family? No, no, it’s all a ruse to make her feel safe, loved, so you can get to me.

Victor: Listen, let’s not waste any time talking about this nonsense, okay?

Jordan: Well, I pride myself in knowing how your devious mind works.

Victor: Sometimes, life is like a chess game, you know? And by my calculations, you plan to kill me tonight.

[ Jordan laughs ]

Jordan: With this? So messy.

Victor: What difference does it make anyway? We now came up with a plan that is mutually beneficial. So whatever we had planned before is history.

Jordan: Except for one problem, and it’s a biggie. (Cat 1) friskies world!

Jordan: You really don’t see the problem with your deal?

Victor: I thought it was a damn generous deal.

[ Jordan laughs ] What’s wrong with it?

Jordan: You claim you’re going to have your attorney drain my newly funded $10 million bank account and sic the international police on me if I don’t tell him immediately of where I’m keeping you hostage.

Victor: Well, surely you must understand that i wanted some insurance, that you hold up your end of the bargain.

Jordan: In this little game of chicken? Absolutely. But who’s to say that you won’t do the same thing immediately the minute I tell attorney baldwin of your whereabouts?

Victor: Well, you just have to trust me now, don’t you?

[ Jordan laughs ]

Jordan: Your deal is a joke. A grand empty promise.

Victor: Are you telling me you’re pulling out of the deal now? In other words, you want no money, no new identity?

Jordan: No french chateau.

Victor: Yeah. Exactly.

Jordan: Well, I would have enjoyed that.

Victor: Why play along now?

Jordan: To get what I really want. And that’s you, victor newman. You. Alone. No henchmen. And now, I have you. And I’m going to make you pay.

Nikki: How could you let this happen?

Claire: I knew that she sounded unhinged when I spoke to her.

Adam: Wait, you knew that she was planning this?

Claire: Of course not.

Adam: Okay, did you know that my father was meeting with her?

Claire: Only because nikki told me.

Victoria: Would you just leave her alone?

Michael: Listen.

[ Michael chuckles ] Listen up, everybody. Here’s the situation. As victor predicted, jordan called claire back last night.

Claire: And I gave her victor’s message, just like he asked me to. I told her that he wanted to make amends for what happened to eve.

Michael: And jordan took the bait. She reached out to victor to meet.

Adam: Which is when he should have called the police.

Michael: And risk scaring her off. No, your father worked too hard to lure her in. Look, he agreed to meet jordan with only me. No police, no security detail.

Adam: Which doesn’t mean you still don’t bring backup.

Michael: No, she– she is shrewd. She picked the location, this alleyway that made surveillance impossible. So, we– we couldn’t predict when she arrived. We– we couldn’t post police officers anywhere nearby even if we had wanted to. Man, she thought of everything. She arrived out of nowhere. With this big old gun.

Nikki: Oh, my god.

Michael: I suppose she could have killed us both if she didn’t like what we had to say. Or perhaps that was her plan all along. You know, get us to this secluded alleyway, no witnesses. Shoot and run.

Nikki: This is exactly what I was afraid of.

Victoria: You let that mad woman lead our father away at gunpoint?

Michael: I didn’t let anyone do anything. We all know no one could make victor newman do anything he doesn’t want to. He had more bait to dangle. And once again, jordan took it. Whatever plans she had going into that alleyway, they changed once victor presented his offer.

Cole: And what was it?

Michael: Ten million in an offshore bank account, a new identity, and a house in france.

Adam: Okay, well, if he offered her all of that, then why did she take him hostage?

Michael: To prove it wasn’t a trap. He told her she could lock him up somewhere until she could safely disappear.

[ Summer chuckling ]

Summer: Oh, great, just what I need, the third degree.

Chance: Okay, here’s the deal. We’re not going to let anything ruin our day today. We are in a perfect mood. The last 12 hours have been perfect, and I want to hold on to that feeling.

Summer: You know what? You’re right. Let’s do this. Mom.

Phyllis: Oh, hey.

Summer: What a nice surprise.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah.

Chance: Came as fast as I could.

Billy: I appreciate that.

Chance: Did you eat yet?

Billy: I did not. Sitting right behind us, that would be great. You two, excuse me. Please.

Summer: What is up with you?

Phyllis: Nothing is up with me, you know. It was just, you know– I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night. Nothing to see here. Summer, it’s no big deal. You, on the other hand, I want to know what’s going on with you.

Summer: Nothing. Uh, just, uh, going to get some takeout, and go back to the office.

Phyllis: What, you don’t have five minutes to share a cup of coffee with your mom? Sit down, please.

I have type 2 diabetes, but I manage it well

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Summer: Okay, five minutes. But that’s– that’s it, because I really do have a pile of work waiting for me.

Phyllis: That’s fine with me. I mean, but I need you to tell me very specifically and succinctly what’s going on with you and chance.

[ Summer laughs ] I’m your mother, I deserve to know, because I’ve been supporting this, and I will always cheer you on from the sidelines. You know why? Because you’re going after what you want.

Summer: Okay, I think that you’re just a little too invested in this.

Phyllis: In your happiness? Of course I am, of course. So, what’s going on between you and chance?

Summer: Mom, you know that we’ve been hanging out.

Phyllis: Well, because you came here together, but it wasn’t for a breakfast date.

Summer: Your detective skills are very impressive.

Phyllis: Oh, wait a second. Were you coming from the same place? Oh, my– oh, my– like– like a sleepover.

Summer: Okay, I am not going to go into details with you.

Phyllis: You have to, because I could see the glow all over your face.

Summer: Stop. Okay, fine. I’m having fun. And I think that he is, too.

Phyllis: Fun is great. Oh, my gosh. I’m so happy for you. That is so great, summer. Good for you. Well, at least one of us is having a successful romantic life.

Billy: Seems like things are going well with summer.

Chance: Yeah, yeah, but I’m 100% focused on work, don’t you worry. When I’m in there, I’m locked in.

Billy: That’s good. I’m glad to hear that. Speaking of work…

Chance: Thanks.

Billy: …Give me an update. How’s everything?

Chance: First, though, is everything okay with chelsea and connor? You were kind of vague.

Billy: Yeah, I’m not gonna– not gonna be cagey about it. I’m just trying to respect their privacy.

Chance: Yeah, and I don’t want to pry, I just want to make sure they’re okay.

Billy: I appreciate that. Everything’s gonna be okay. It’s just gonna be a process.

Chance: Understood.

Billy: So, fill me in. How did nate and devon react to my absence? Everyone behave?

Chance: Well, I don’t mean to be blunt, but nobody seemed to miss you.

[ Billy laughs ]

Billy: So much about not being blunt.

Chance: Yeah, probably could have phrased that differently.

Billy: No, no, no. That’s the information that I need. When you say that I clearly was not missed, do you mean that my absence was not noticed? Or is it more–

Chance: They seem relieved that you weren’t around.

Billy: Huh.

Chance: Sorry if that’s not what you want to hear, billy.

Billy: No, on the contrary. It’s exactly what I want to hear. In fact, that makes me very happy.

Victoria: I don’t know how could dad place himself in danger like this?

Cole: Well, you know he’ll do anything to protect his family.

Michael: You have to agree with that.

Nikki: I can’t believe he would make a deal with jordan after the hell she’s put us through.

Adam: Was any of this your idea, huh? Are you working with your aunt?

Claire: No.

Victor: Well, you planned ahead, didn’t you?

Jordan: Cozy, isn’t it? Have a seat. The perfect place for you and your beloved nikki to die a horrible death. But alas, you’re going to have to die alone. After I got your offer, I had to abandon my two for one plan. But you still played right into my hands.

Victor: I thought it was my idea to be your hostage.

Jordan: Which made it all the sweeter.

[ Victor laughs ]

Victor: How silly on my part that I thought I could outsmart you.

[ Jordan laughing ] Yeah.

Jordan: And that’s what I’ve been trying to teach claire her entire life. That your arrogance is your blind spot. And in the end, will be your downfall. Kerendia presents…

Chance: I don’t get it. You like it that nate and devon enjoy when you’re gone?

Billy: Yeah. It means my presence is creating a certain sense of pressure.

Chance: Well, that’s because they feel like they have to keep an eye on you. They’re worried about what moves you might make. How can that be good?

Billy: Because it keeps everyone on their toes. Make sure they’re doing their best.

Chance: So it sounds like you’re focused more on office politics rather than the actual work.

Billy: Actually, it’s all tied together. One impacts the other. Let’s consider that your first lesson for the day.

Chance: Well, I’d rather just know what your real agenda is, billy.

Billy: What do you mean by that?

Chance: Well, are you content on running things smoothly while lily’s still gone, or are nate and devon right? Are you looking for more power here?

Billy: Where’s this suspicion coming from?

Chance: You told me to be your eyes and ears. I’m reporting back, reading the room.

Billy: And you’re doing a great job. But just because devon and nate have trust issues, it doesn’t mean you should. I know what I’m doing. Part of what I’m doing is bringing you along so you understand the dynamics of the c suite, okay? So, if you want a place in this company, just stick with me.

Chance: Well, I’d feel a lot better if I knew whether or not my mentor was using me as a spy for his own purposes.

Phyllis: Oh, my gosh, I could see it all over your face. That glow. That glow. Seeing the other person makes you light up. You’re walking around with a stupid grin on your face all day long, oh.

Summer: Are you saying that we look like idiots?

Phyllis: Yes. And it’s awesome, it’s awesome. And I’m jealous, and everyone’s jealous because we all want to have that feeling. We all want to walk around with butterflies in our stomach, and see the other person and we light up. And knowing that we make the other person’s life happier, and bigger and nicer. It’s so great, see? At least– at least my instincts were right, right here. I knew you guys were meant to be.

Summer: Okay, shh. Mom, what is going on with you?

Phyllis: What?

Summer: This mood that you’re in, it doesn’t have to do with me and chance. What’s going on?

Phyllis: What– what do you mean? I’m very happy for you.

Summer: Then why do you sound like you’re– like, in mourning or something for something that you don’t have? Anyway, look at you.

[ Summer laughs ] When’s the last time you had a bloody mary for breakfast? What happened last night? Does it have to do with danny?

Victoria: How dare you?

Cole: Claire risked her safety and well-being to help victor lay this trap.

Victoria: All against our better judgment, by the way. Dad’s the one who insisted.

Claire: To answer your question, I want jordan locked up just as much as the rest of you.

Victoria: You don’t have to explain yourself to adam.

Adam: I just– I’m very surprised how quickly you embraced claire. It is like you have forgotten that she tried to kill you all. She was raised by her aunt to hate you, now you just assume that she’s turned on her aunt?

Claire: I have. She lied to me my entire life, and now I know the truth, that I’m part of this family, like it or not.

Adam: Well, how do we know that you and her haven’t had more chats, and this wasn’t your plan all along?

Cole: Enough with the accusations.

Claire: God, my mom was right about you. You’re not like the other newmans, are you? See, they’ve all been very welcoming, but you are here going out of your way to accuse me.

Nikki: All right, everybody, just stop. This is not helping us find out what happened to victor.

Michael: Listen, I firmly believe victor is alive and well. He protected himself. He warned jordan that I would drain her bank account and alert interpol if she didn’t call me with his location the minute she was safely out of the country.

Victoria: Okay, so what are we supposed to do then? Are we supposed to just sit around and wait and pray that jordan sticks to her end of the deal?

Nikki: Why would victor think she would follow his rules? I mean, she burned down victoria’s house and intended to kill everybody in it.

Michael: I raised that concern myself. But I have to say, I’ve been reading criminals my entire career. I saw it in her eyes. She wanted that escape hatch. It was too tempting to pass up.

Nikki: It doesn’t mean she still won’t double cross him.

Michael: Victor told me he had provisions in place in case that happened.

Adam: Okay, well, what is his backup plan?

Michael: That I don’t know.

Jordan: You’re taking this awfully well, for a man who’s about to spend the rest of his incredibly short life locked up in this room. And don’t think I’m bluffing.

Victor: I don’t think you’re bluffing. I know you intend to leave me here and let me die. But let me ask you something. How do you intend to live? How do you intend to be on the run with no money? You should have accepted my offer.

Jordan: You can’t buy me off, victor newman, and you are going to spend the rest of your life starving and dying here in this decrepit hole. And nikki, poor nikki and your rich, beautiful children will grieve for you until I come for them because I will not rest until every member of the newman family has paid. This doesn’t end with you. It’s not over, victor.

Victor: It is over.

[ Electricity buzzing ]

[ Jordan groans ] I started to think you wouldn’t come.

[]

Phyllis: Danny who?

Summer: Mom.

Phyllis: I don’t want to talk about it.

Summer: Uh, no, you can’t do that. You can’t ask about my love life and then just shut down when I ask about yours.

Phyllis: I don’t have a love life.

Summer: Well, I thought that you and danny, you know…

Phyllis: Listen, okay, I went to bat, tried to shoot my shot, struck out, that’s it, let’s– let’s not speak his name.

Summer: I’m sorry. Seriously, I am. You can’t be that surprised.

Phyllis: What does that mean?

Summer: It’s danny and christine. They have so much history together, they’re the real deal. It’s really hard to compete with that.

Phyllis: Wow. Wow. Even my daughter doesn’t think I’m worthy of having love.

Billy: Is this about my critique of your idea? Do you still carry a chip on your shoulder about that?

Chance: No, this is about you respecting me enough to be honest.

Billy: Okay, well, I’ll be honest. It benefits both of us if I have a larger presence at chancellor-winters.

Chance: How do you figure?

Billy: Because you and i are there to support jill. To protect her from whatever land grab mamie johnson is pushing devon and nate to make.

Chance: Okay, so you’re protecting jill’s interests, not your own.

Billy: Jill’s interests are our interests. And I’m not going to apologize for that. So again, if you want a place in this company, I suggest that you get in line with me.

Nikki: So jordan led him away with a gun at his head to god knows where?

Claire: And this was his idea?

Michael: Yes. But after jordan and victor left together, I’m as much in the dark as the rest of you about what happens next.

Claire: She gets like this when she feels trapped.

Nikki: Well, you said she gets sloppy, and that’s what we’re counting on.

Claire: But she also gets harder to predict. She’s volatile.

Michael: Oh, come on. This is victor we’re talking about. He told me he had another shoe to drop. One jordan won’t see coming.

Jordan: Where am I?

Victor: You ain’t in the south of france. No big mansion with a pool. Cozy, isn’t it? Huh? Huh?

Jordan: How’d you know we were here?

Victor: This is called a tracking device.

Jordan: No one was following us, I was checking the whole time.

Nick: I wasn’t behind you. I was on a parallel route. You, uh, looking for this?

Victor: Don’t you ever underestimate me.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Finn: Doesn’t feel real yet. Does it to you?

Steffy: Knowing sheila’s gone? No. Hasn’t truly sunk in yet. I keep double-checking locks. Looking over my shoulder, seeing if she might pop up and do something. But she won’T. Never again. Sheila’s out of our lives for good.

[ Brooke moaning ]

Ridge: Wow. What was that for?

Brooke: Just wanted to thank you. Dinner was fabulous.

Ridge: Uh-huh. You know I didn’t cook it, right?

Brooke: I know, but you made the reservations, so that warrants a kiss.

Ridge: See, now I’m even more upset I’ve got to pick up those papers, but I need them. I’ve got this meeting tomorrow morning.

Brooke: All righty. I’ll just catch up with my email.

Ridge: You know, I’m surprised there’s no one here. I thought thomas would be burning the midnight oil.

Brooke: I thought he’d be here too. He’s so committed to hope’s line.

Ridge: Committed to hope’s line and committed to hope. Thomas and hope love each other.

Hope: Well, if his homework’s all done. Yeah. Of course. Of course you can let him play. All right. I will pick them up first thing in the morning. Thank you so much, donna. Bye.

Thomas: Let me guess. Douglas is begging for video game time.

Hope: Oh, yes. But he does have straight a’s, so…

Thomas: Let the boy play.

Hope: I should give donna a call back and let her know about the one hour.

Thomas: Okay, but we only have, like– we’ve been trying to make this work for a while and we only have one night. Do you want to spend it making calls to donna?

Hope: Well, when you put it like that.

Thomas: You have any ideas for activities?

Hope: I’m sure whatever we come up with will be worthwhile.

Ridge: You’re gonna have to work on that.

Brooke: What?

Ridge: That. That look you get on your face every time we talk about hope and thomas being a couple.

Brooke: This just isn’t easy for me.

Ridge: It wasn’t easy for anybody, but it’s done. They’re together, and… I don’t know. I think there’s something really beautiful about that. Magical, even.

Thomas: You okay?

Hope: Yeah.

Thomas: You seem… worried about douglas?

Hope: Uh, no, actually. I know he’s having a blast over at eric’S.

Thomas: Ah, so that means you’re still worried about steffy and finn.

Hope: It’s horrible, what they’re going through. I mean, to think that sheila’s death is now putting a strain on their marriage?

Thomas: Keep showing the kind of person you are. You genuinely care. You’re always empathizing. Especially in this situation. I mean, it’s not like you and steffy are exactly best friends.

Hope: All right, well, that might be true. I don’t want her going through anything like this.

Thomas: I know. That’s what makes you such a wonderful person. However, for tonight, I’d rather focus just on the two of us.

Hope: I do like the sound of that.

Thomas: Oh.

Hope: Will you help me forget?

Thomas: Of course.

Hope: So, checkers?

Thomas: Sure. Yeah.

Hope: Yeah?

Thomas: We can play. Or chess. Whatever.

Hope: Just–

Thomas: Whatever works.

Hope: Yeah?

Thomas: Yeah.

Finn: I wish I could find relief in that. Knowing that the threat’s over. Look, and I understand that it’s a good thing to not have to stress anymore. Wonder if sheila is going to crack and do something. It’s just… it’s just the way that it went down.

Steffy: It was never if she was going to crack. It was when. And she did when she showed up here. When she broke into our home and tried to attack me. Sheila intended on hurting me. I don’t know how, but I know that she had some kind of plan figured out. And that night, it was either her or me.

Finn: I get that.

Steffy: Well, this isn’t easy for both of us. Despite how freaked out we both are, despite how difficult this is, we need to figure out a way to heal. For the sake of our marriage. I want to be close to you again. In every way.

Finn: I want that, too.

Steffy: Yeah. There it is…

Ridge: At the end of the day, what we really want is for our kids to be happy, right?

Brooke: Yes, of course.

Ridge: And that’s how I know that you’re going to come around.

Brooke: To the idea of hope and thomas in a relationship.

Ridge: The same way that my mom came around to it. Look at hope. She’s so happy. We haven’t seen her this happy in a long time. And I think it’s because she’s with thomas. The two of them, they bring out the best in each other. I can see it. You can see it. You can’t see it, right?

Brooke: Okay, okay, yeah. I won’t deny that. But all happiness aside, I still am very worried because of what’s happened before and the lengths that thomas would go to.

Ridge: That’s the past.

Brooke: The past matters.

Ridge: The past matters, but so does the future. And the two of them, they could have a wonderful future together. Maybe the next great logan-forrester couple. Hm?

[ Thomas sighing ]

Hope: Um, sir, you have, uh, really outdone yourself this time.

Thomas: Oh, well, thank you. I try very, very hard. Did you know that this bottle of chianti is actually from the year that douglas was born?

Hope: Yeah. And was it a particularly good year for the grapes?

Thomas: Oh, well, you should know that this vintage, specifically, actually carries notes of blackberry and plum. And on the nose, you might have hints of– I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I thought you might think it was cute.

Hope: I– I definitely think it’s cute.

Thomas: Good, good, okay. Well, either way, what I do know about this wine is that it pairs very well with the special from il giardino.

Hope: Is that what I smell coming from the kitchen?

Thomas: That is, and I thought we could start with a little bruschetta.

Hope: Oh, well, don’t mind if I do.

Thomas: No worries. Um, aurora, could you play my italian playlist?

[ Classical music playing ]

Hope: Italian music? Am I, uh, sensing a theme here tonight?

Thomas: A little bit. Salute.

Hope: Salute.

Steffy: Oh, I miss this. Our connection. We can’t let what happened overshadow our love for each other.

Finn: We won’t want it to, but–

Steffy: No, we won’T. We won’t let it. Baby steps. We just need to try to get back to us. The two of us. Tell you what. Why don’t I get some clothes on and we could finish the bottle of wine, you get the fire going, and we can hang out? It just feels so good being in your arms.

Finn: We are better together.

Steffy: We are.

Finn: Thank you.

Steffy: I love you.

Finn: Baby steps.

[ Creaking ] Schwarzkopf

Hope: Why is this so good?

Thomas: You know, I don’t know. Like, your dad, for some reason, he thinks that pizza is their thing, but for me, it’s the parpadella.

Hope: It’s the parpadella.

Thomas: It’s the parpadella.

Hope: Okay, so, what brought upon this theme for tonight? Anything in particular?

Thomas: I don’t know. History, I guess. I’ve been thinking about our history, everything we’ve been through, and all the places we’ve been, and how we’ve gotten to where we are right now. And one place, above all, stands above the rest. Roma.

Brooke: So, I’m just wondering, how did you get so confident in them, this idea of hope and thomas’ future?

Ridge: Well, it’s the kind of guy I am. I pay attention. You’ll get there.

Brooke: But lately, you’ve been worried about steffy’s future. And me, too. It’s horrible what she had to go through with sheila.

Ridge: She’s struggling. She’s gotta be okay, but she killed somebody. In self-defense, but… she killed someone.

Brooke: She’s gonna be okay. She’s a brave, courageous woman and she will get through this.

Ridge: I know. I’m not worried about her. I’m worried about finn.

Steffy: Honestly, I don’t even know if I need the wine. Just being with you, touching you, knowing that we’re together, that’s all I really need.

If you’re taking

an antidepressant,

Thomas: I’ll never forget what we shared in rome.

Hope: Me neither. I mean, that trip changed everything.

Thomas: It’s just so beautiful. The landscape, the architecture, you. This is a place so full of history. I feel like actually you and I made some history today. So grateful for the time we had there and the impact it had.

Hope: It will always be our place. To roma.

Thomas: To roma.

Brooke: I can see how worried you are about steffy and finn.

Ridge: Of course I’m worried because I don’t know what finn’s doing. He’s got these misplaced feelings about his mother. He should be worried about his wife right now. He should be worried about his kids. He should be a husband and a father. Instead, he’s got this fantasy about who sheila could have been to him. Her getting killed is the best thing that could have happened to him because now, he doesn’t have to find a place for her in his life. She’s dead. It’s over. It’s done.

Finn: It feels good to be home with you in my arms.

Steffy: This is where you belong.

Finn: You’re right. Tonight, it’s about moving forward. And new beginnings. Because we don’t have any reason to look over our shoulder any longer. No one, nothing threatening our happiness or our family. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I got caught up with what happened to sheila and not prioritizing you and what you went through. I should have been more reassuring and supportive right from when I found out.

Steffy: Finn, it’s okay. I understand.

Finn: Well, I want to move on from it. Concentrate on us, on our family, and this beautiful life we have together. I just… love you so much, steffy. Never forget it, okay?

Steffy: No, I won’T. I know how you feel. You show me every single day. Look, I know we’re traumatized by what happened, but it is a trauma that we’re going to heal from. We will. The two of us, we can do it. Sheila’s no longer a threat to us. We don’t have to think about her. We don’t have to talk about her anymore. And honestly, I’d rather not talk about her tonight, because I just want this. I want you, I want to be wrapped up in your arms. Come here. I miss this. I love you.

[ Sheila gasping ]

[ Sheila coughing ]

Sheila: Finn.

Steffy: Whoa, finn. What’s wrong? Tell me.

Phyllis: I’m sorry. I– I’m sorry. I don’t mean to be in your way. That’s accidental. I didn’t do it on purpose, but don’t, you know, say that to anyone in this town. They won’t believe you. [ Phyllis chuckles ] Hello. This is a surprise.

Nick: What’s, uh, going on?

Phyllis: Buy me a drink and I’ll tell you.

Nikki: Victor, evading my question only makes me more suspicious. Now, I’ve asked you, where are you going at this hour?

Victor: And I have told you.

Nikki: But you didn’t give me a straight answer.

Victor: Because I don’t want to worry you.

Nikki: You don’t think it worries me that you won’t answer a simple question?

Victor: All right, I’ll tell you.

Nikki: Thank you.

Victor: Have a seat. So… I’ve heard from jordan.

Nikki: And?

Victor: She took my bait.

Nikki: What does that mean?

Victor: I want to meet with her.

Nikki: Oh, victor, no.

Victor: Yes. Don’t worry. Everything’s under control.

Nikki: So that’s where you’re going right now? To meet jordan?

Victor: Yeah.

[ Jordan humming ]

[ Jordan chuckles ]

[ Jordan sighs ]

Marshalls buyers have a very

particular set of skills.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Victor: Yes, send him in.

Nikki: How do you know that jordan’s not planning a trap of her own?

Victor: I’m sure she is. But I have it under control. I have the upper hand, okay?

Nikki: We have thought that before, victor, but look where we are.

Victor: Sweetheart, I promise you, this time will be successful. This is the last stage of a plan I have to make sure that woman will not cause pain to our family again.

Michael: Okay, I’m here. What’s the emergency? Oh.

Victor: All arranged?

Michael: So, this is it, huh? This is really happening tonight.

Victor: Yes.

Michael: Well, uh, yeah, everything’s arranged as ordered, uh, but I want to tell you that I’m not crazy about this. I don’t like the legal risks you’re taking or the legal risks I’m taking.

Nikki: All right, well, one of you please tell me what is going on? What is happening, and where did this last stage of your plan come from?

Victor: Sweetheart, the less you know, the better, all right? I have this under control. I’ll be back and tell you everything. Um… I adore you. You know that. You’ve gotta trust me now, all right? Let’s go.

Claire: Nikki? I didn’t expect to find you up at this hour. Are– are you okay?

Nikki: Oh, yeah, yeah. I’ve– I’ve just been handling some things. Uh, I’m too keyed up to go to bed yet.

Claire: I think I have the perfect solution.

Nikki: And what would that be?

Claire: Let me distract you again. Only this time, you tell me a story.

Nick: Nah, drink’s not gonna happen for you. I feel like you’ve had plenty already.

Phyllis: Sometimes you just need to annihilate the darkness.

Nick: Really?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Nick: Okay, phyllis.

Phyllis: I had an epiphany. Do you want to hear it?

Nick: Sure.

Phyllis: Don’t try to change. Ever. It’s a waste of time.

Nick: You know that’s not true, phyllis. I’ve admired the way you’ve tried to change.

Phyllis: It’s true. Oh, what good has it done? I mean, my kids… still walk around me like they’re walking on eggshells.

[ Sighs ] My friends… I don’t even have any friends, that’s for sure. And, uh, then… I thought I really had a chance at happiness. That just blew up in my face. It was crushed under… the history… that I have that I will never, ever escape from. So, why try?

Did you know you waste

200 hours a year

Nick: I don’t suppose this “second chance at something” has anything to do with a certain rock star that we were talking about at society the other night?

Phyllis: It doesn’t matter.

Nick: All of a sudden, danny romalotti doesn’t matter?

Phyllis: Oh, don’t say his name, please. Don’t say his name. Uh, why did I even try?

Nick: Well, when we were talking, you gave me the impression that things were on the upswing with you two.

Phyllis: Yeah. Well, I was wrong. He told me who he really wanted, and it’s not me.

Nick: He actually said that?

Phyllis: Yeah. He actually said that.

[ Nick sighs ] You know, when I was standing there, humiliated and rejected… you know what my first impulse was?

Nick: Well, I hope I’m wrong about this, but I’m guessing it was revenge.

Phyllis: It was revenge. That’s what my first impulse was. See? I can’t change. It’s like my default. It’s just my tiger stripes. I’ve been trying to change this whole time, and I can’T. It’s just obviously who I am.

[ Phyllis sobbing ] So why should I even try to change?

Nick: Okay, don’t– don’t do that.

Phyllis: Do what?

Nick: This “you can’t change” garbage, and that’s what it is. All right? We both know that’s not true.

Phyllis: Yeah, how do you know that?

Nick: Because we’ve all watched you do it for months, and do it very well, by the way. You can change. You did change.

Phyllis: Oh, I haven’t, nick. I haven’T. And even if you think I have, so what? So damn what? Where’s my drink?

Nick: No, we’re not gonna do that, all right? I’ve got a better offer for you.

Phyllis: What is your better offer?

Nick: Instead of a drink, why don’t you let me buy you some dinner? Junk food. All you want, whatever you want.

Phyllis: What kind of junk food?

Nick: Name it.

Phyllis: Um… how about, uh, room service junk food?

[ Laughs ] I mean–

Nick: Really?

Phyllis: Yeah, it is the best, because no one will see me eating.

[ Phyllis laughs ] And I want to change out of this dress. I feel embarrassed, so…

Nick: Okay. Let’s do it. You lead the way. Hey, let’s, you know, just– let’s leave that.

[ Phyllis laughs ]

Phyllis: Ooh.

Nick: Okay, o– okay.

Phyllis: Yeah, it’s okay. It’s okay. It’s all right.

Nick: You’re doing great.

Phyllis: It’s okay.

Nikki: It’s sweet of you to try to distract me, but… I’m afraid I’m just not up to telling stories tonight.

Claire: Not even the legendary story of how nikki reed met victor newman? I read about a million versions of it, and jordan spoon-fed me more dirt on all of you than I ever wanted to know.

[ Nikki sighs ]

Nikki: I can only imagine. Well, all right. But you asked for it, so… fasten your seatbelt.

Michael: I don’t feel great about this location, victor.

Victor: Why?

Michael: I think it was a mistake not to bring police back up. If jordan shows up to meet you, they take her into custody. It’s over. End of story.

Victor: She would have noticed that a mile away.

Michael: I do have one favor to ask you.

Victor: What’s that?

Michael: Don’t make me a liar to my wife. No heroics, no surprises. Look, I promised lauren I’d be home in a couple of hours, safe and sound.

Victor: Lauren has nothing to worry about, okay?

[ Clattering ] Hey, dad. I got an a on my book report. -And i scored a goal on ashley. -That’s cool. And I went for a walk in the woods and I didn’t get a single flea or tick on me. You are just the best. Probably because of that flea and tick medicine you’ve been ordering from chewy. We are very proud of you. You never stop surprising us, bailey. Right? I’m great. You are greaT. I wonder if bailey’s ever done a book report. Be nice to your sister. What flea bit him? Pets aren’t just pets. They’re more. This flea and tick season, get 20% off your first pharmacy order at chewy. All of the things that

Victor: Now you have given yourself an impressive advantage. I mean, look at those rooftops. No way I could position the sniper. Not that that thought ever occurred to me.

Jordan: No, because that would be so unsportsmanlike. So un-victor newman of you.

Victor: I said I would come with my lawyer. No cops, just one man. I kept my word.

Jordan: Well, that’s funny, because my sister never said that about you before she died. But that was decades ago. People do change.

Victor: Well, some do, and some don’T.

Jordan: You are beginning to bore me. So let’s get right to the point, okay? Mr. Man of his word, tell me about this restitution.

[ Michael clears throat ] What have we here?

Victor: It’s your new life.

Jordan: Oh. You’ve got my attention. Tell me more.

Victor: It’s a bank account with 10 million bucks in it.

Jordan: Nice.

Victor: And a new passport, new identity, new birth certificate. Ball of wax.

Jordan: Go on.

Victor: And keys and a deed to a new house in the south of france.

Jordan: Oh. With or without a pool?

Victor: Well, what do you think? Imagine. You can start a new life. Beautiful home, beautiful country. Don’t have to worry about a damn thing.

[ Jordan scoffs ]

Jordan: Sounds so very tempting.

Victor: Just think. You no longer have to be on the run. No cops on your tail. No worries about prosecution. All you have to do is leave the united states. Never look back.

Nikki: I guess the best place to start would be my late teens. Not a part of my life that I’m particularly proud of.

Claire: Why? What was going on with you?

Nikki: Oh, I was very naive and a bit promiscuous. Kind of a wild child. I took every wrong path I came across.

Claire: Like what?

Nikki: Well… I signed on to a modeling agency that turned out to be a front for prostitution. And then I joined a commune that turned out to be a cult.

Claire: I’m so sorry, nikki. I didn’t know any of that.

Nikki: Then I got a job dancing at a club called the bayou. I’m certain you heard about that.

Claire: It was one of jordan’s fixations, yes.

Nikki: Well, in the meantime, a very handsome, successful older man named victor newman was going through a rough time. His first wife had left him, and he was depressed. So one night, his best friend, douglas austin, decided to cheer him up by taking him out to a club.

Claire: The one where you were working?

Nikki: Exactly. So victor was sitting in the audience when I came out on stage that night. It was the first time we ever laid eyes on each other.

Claire: Did he ask you out?

Nikki: Um, no, not exactly. It was more like he took me under his wing. He was determined to transform this mess, street-smart, punk kid into a sophisticated young lady. Uh, he arranged for etiquette lessons, and I learned how to dress, learned how to carry on proper conversation at a cocktail party.

Victor: We’ll have to make time for music. The piano you have at home probably isn’t very good, so I want you to come here and practice for about an hour or two every day. And then you’ll need some coaching, and I’ll arrange for that.

Nikki: Well, those lessons are gonna cost a lot of money.

Victor: Well, I can afford to indulge my whims, and right now it just suits me to give you some music lessons.

Nikki: And what do you want in return? I mean, nobody takes the time and money to do this sort of thing for a person if they don’t want something back.

Victor: Well, the finished product will be my reward. I mean, when I’m done with you, you’ll be ready to go anywhere and meet anyone. You’ll be an accomplished and cultured woman. So now, play again. And this time with more legato.

Nikki: Oh, you– you know about music, too?

Victor: I know something about almost everything, and so will you.

Claire: And in the process, the two of you fell in love?

Nikki: Oh, well, I did. He didn’T. Not– not yet.

Claire: Jordan said that the two of you were married several times.

Nikki: Well, that is true, uh, to each other and to other people. We’ve both been through a lot, but, um, we always managed to find our way back to each other. And I guess that’s a testament to the devotion we have for one another and for our children, our grandchildren. Family is very important to us. You see, victor was raised in an orphanage.

Claire: I had read that, but jordan said that that was just a phony publicity story manufactured by newman enterprises to counteract victor’s ruthless reputation.

Victor: Well, for his sake, I wish that were true, but he did grow up in an orphanage, and family was something that he always yearned for. And now that he has one, he makes damn sure that nothing will happen to any of us, including you.

Claire: Me? After everything I did?

Nikki: As far as he’s concerned, anyone with a drop of newman blood is family, and he will love and protect them forever.

Claire: This doesn’t sound anything like the terrible man I grew up hearing about. When did eve howard come into your lives?

[ Door opens ]

Phyllis: Wait here.

Nick: I plan to.

Phyllis: Okay.

Nick: Wow. [ Sighs ] Hey, how’s it going? Uh, could I get some food sent up? Yeah, um, let’s go with a couple of cheeseburgers, some fries, uh, onion rings, and mac and cheese. Yeah, two orders of each. Thanks. Bye.

Phyllis: Did you get onion rings or grilled cheese?

Nick: Uh, I got onion rings and mac and cheese, so…

Phyllis: Oh, mac and cheese! Oh, my favorites. Because you know my motto, do you remember? “I never met a carb that I didn’t like.” Yeah.

Nick: Yeah.

Phyllis: Well, you can go. Yeah, you can go. Thank you for taking care of me for, like, the one-… billionth time that I’m not at my best, so thank you.

Nick: Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. You think I’m gonna let you have all this food to yourself? No.

[ Phyllis clears throat ]

Phyllis: Listen, if you could not tell summer or daniel that this happened, I’d really appreciate it. I know that’s a lot to ask, you know, considering, um, my luck these days. I’m not counting on it, but…

Nick: I promise you, neither one of them’s gonna hear a word about this from me.

Phyllis: Thank you.

Nick: Sure.

Phyllis: Do you want a nightcap?

Nick: No, I’m good, thanks.

Phyllis: I mean, do you mind if I make myself one?

Nick: Not at all.

Phyllis: All right. Thank you.

[ Phyllis clears throat ]

Nick: You know, you could just put the drink down, and we could talk about whatever it is that’s bothering you. You could, uh, rant, whatever. Get anything you want off your chest. I’m here to listen.

Phyllis: No judgment?

Nick: I wouldn’t, even if I was thinking it. I would’ve called yesterday.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. Do I love speed walking?…

Phyllis: So, um, abby gave me the restaurant, and, I mean, the entire restaurant plus the kitchen because danny was gonna make his pasta recipe. His, um… he makes a special, uh, sauce, and he was gonna make it. Um, so it was just gonna be one last night before he, um, went on tour.

Nick: So danny is leaving town?

Phyllis: Yeah, he’s leaving town.

Nick: Well, I mean, it sounds like you came up with a pretty cool way to say goodbye.

Phyllis: Yeah. It’s very romantic.

Nick: Please tell me he showed up.

Phyllis: Yeah, he showed up. With christine.

Nick: Oh. Ouch.

Phyllis: Ouch.

Nick: Sorry.

Phyllis: Yeah, it was kind of ouch. You know, this time I really felt like danny and i had a chance. I know it sounds weird, but I just felt like, um… that I was being rewarded for changing like I’ve been doing. I’ve been working really hard. And I felt like it– it was fate. They were giving me a do-over. Um… you know, that I was getting a chance to… right so many wrongs from my past. You know. And I felt like, um, danny and I really connected in a different way this time.

Nick: Sounds to me like you did a great job. You know, you might be looking at this the wrong way, though. It’s not a matter of good versus bad. It’s just a human thing, you know, a connection. Danny and christine, they always click.

Phyllis: I click with him, too. I didn’t just imagine that. I mean, it was really there. I guess I’M… just not enough. Wow. How am I not enough?

Nick: You are. You are enough, all right? And you… you will be for… someone else.

Phyllis: Who? Who? Where are they? It’s weird talking about this with you. I can’t talk about this with you. It’s just really hard. Um… I’ve been working so hard at being better. Being better than I was, at least. It’s just difficult trying to be the person that my kids want me to be. And be the person that everybody in this town wants me to be. Every day is hard. And at the end of the day, I just feel alone. That’s all. And lonely.

Claire: Nikki, I’m sorry. That was stupid. Your story’s wonderful, and I shouldn’t have asked about my grandmother. Just skip over the eve howard part. It’s probably the last thing you want to relive right now after the nightmare you’ve been through.

Nikki: Well, you know what? It might be helpful for me to just get it all out. That’s a long, complicated story. Did jordan ever tell you that eve tried to poison victor?

Claire: No. She always made it out like eve was so innocent and loving, that victor betrayed her.

Nikki: She was a menace, just like her sister. She was arrested and taken to a psychiatric facility.

Claire: Oh, like me.

Nikki: No, not like you. Everything she did was of her own free will. And unlike you, she didn’t want to get well. So she just continued on her path of destruction. And then she read in the paper that victor and i were getting married, so she infiltrated our wedding, disguised as a caterer, and tried to stab me.

Claire: What? Knives and the disguises and the poison, it’s– it’s just like jordan. I didn’t know any of this.

Nikki: Well, no, of course not. She couldn’t tell you the truth about these things and still pretend to be righteous. I didn’t tell you this to upset you. I’m so sorry if I did. I just think that you deserve to know the truth about both sides of your family.

Claire: I do, yeah. Thank you for telling me. It’s just… it makes me think.

Nikki: About what?

Claire: Everything I did. The lies, the deception, the drugging, the alcohol in your iv.

Nikki: Honey, that was all jordan’s influence.

Claire: But still, I’m the one who did those things. What if their madness is in me?

Michael: For pete’s sake, the offer’s on the table. Take it or leave it.

Victor: Now, jordan, you know that your sister eve would not want you to spend the rest of your life in prison just to avenge her.

Jordan: Of course she wouldn’T. So what’s the catch?

Victor: Nothing. No catch.

Jordan: Really?

Victor: No.

Jordan: So what’s to stop you from calling the authorities and informing them about my new identity and then having them arrest me at the airport before I even board the plane? Or perhaps, perhaps, you’ve already rigged that lovely chateau in france to go boom the minute that I show up. I’m not an idiot, victor.

Michael: Neither is victor. He antic– he anticipated that you’d think that.

Victor: I have a solution. I will assure you that this won’t happen.

Jordan: I can’t wait to hear it.

Victor: You take me… as your hostage. Breathing claritin clear is like…

Jordan: So take you as my hostage?

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Jordan: Tell me how that would work.

Victor: Very simple. You take me to a hideaway that only you know about. You lock me up… until you have made your escape. Then you call my lawyer. Tell him where he can find me.

Jordan: What if I should decide to just leave you there to rot?

Michael: Then I will personally see to it that your $10 million… bank account vanishes into thin air and your location and new identity is reported to interpol.

Victor: Think about it. Dream of your new life, a beautiful country, beautiful mansion, swimming pool, more money than you can ever dream of. And all shattered… because of you.

Nikki: You are nothing like your grandmother and your aunt. I won’t even let you think such a thing. The fact that you were able to change so dramatically after all those miserable years with jordan, I mean, that just proves what a kind and decent person you are.

Claire: Your opinion of my mental state… of my decency, really… it’s what I’ve feared the most, so… thank you for saying that.

Nikki: I’m not just saying it. I mean it. Jordan tried to destroy both of us. But look at us now. And if victor is right, things may take a turn tonight, and we will be rid of jordan forever.

Claire: How? What’s happening tonight?

Nick: Phyllis, no.

[ Phyllis moans ] No. No.

Phyllis: Yes.

Nick: All right? This is a bad idea for a lot of reasons.

Phyllis: Oh, it’s not. Name one reason.

Nick: Stop. Stop it. All right? For one, you’re not thinking clearly right now, and I’m a gentleman. All right? And… we both know where this goes from here. We cannot go back to that.

Phyllis: Okay, listen, I’m gonna propose this. How about this? No strings. No strings. All right? Just two… lonely people… who love each other very much.

Nick: I’M… I never said anything about being lonely.

Phyllis: Yes, you are. Yes, you are lonely. Yes, you are. I could see it. Sally dumped you for adam.

Nick: Okay. Now we brought up adam. That’s like an instant cold shoulder.

[ Knocking on door ] Food’s here. All right, perfect. Let’s get some carbs in you asap. Hey, how’s it going? Thank you so much. All right, here you go. Thank you. Appreciate you.

Bellhop: Sir.

Phyllis: I know you love me just a little. ()

Nick: I mean, we’ve talked about this many times, phyllis. We will always be woven into each other’s lives. And it’s not just because of summer. It’s also because of our, uh… amazing history. Which includes a lot of mistakes. A lot of mistakes. But I hope you know, no matter how tough times get, you can always count on me. Just like I know I can always count on you. Well, I mean, usually.

Phyllis: Always. You can always count on me. I love talking to you. I love listening to you. We could have done this in bed.

Nick: Yeah, we could have. You would have regretted that.

Phyllis: No, I wouldn’T.

Nick: Oh, phyllis. I’m gonna go. Yeah, I’m gonna go. Are you okay?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, I’m fine. Thank you, thank you for everything tonight.

Nick: Glad I could help.

[ Both laugh ]

Phyllis: Thank you. I mean it. Thank you.

Nick: Anytime.

Nikki: All I know is that jordan reached out to victor tonight and they made plans to meet. Aside from that, I’m as much in the dark as you are.

Claire: God, I hope he’s okay.

Nikki: Just don’t lose sight of the fact that if victor’s plan works tonight, we have you to thank.

Claire: No. Not me at all.

Nikki: Yes, you. You had the strength to reach out to a woman who terrifies you, all for the good of your new family. The courage that it took for you to set tonight in motion, that’s the newman side of you. You have proven that deep in your soul, you are a newman.

Victor: So what is it going to be? A life of wealth? And freedom that you could never have imagined? Or the life you have today? Alone. Despised. Hunted like an animal. Do we have a deal?

[ Upbeat music ]

Steffy: Hey, finn, it’s okay. It’s okay. You had a dream. You had a really bad dream.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: You’re safe now, okay? You’re safe.

Finn: It’s just– I don’t– I… I just– I saw her die, steffy, and it– it– it felt very, very real. Um, just the– the– the blood and the– the begging and I just– I can’t stop hearing sheila beg for my help.

Thomas: Hey, where’d you go?

Hope: Uh, trying to work, but honestly, I just– I just can’t shake this feeling. I’m– I’m really worried about steffy and finn’s marriage.

Rj: So, are you ready for this? First night swim?

Luna: Uh, yeah.

Rj: Good, good, ’cause, you know, the sharks, they’re usually more calm after dark, so… I’m joking. I’m joking. I’m trying to make you laugh. I’m kidding.

Luna: Okay, well, shark attack jokes aren’t exactly the best way to do that. But I love that about you.

Rj: What, all my poorly timed jokes?

Luna: No, um, you’re always looking out for me. You know, always trying to make me laugh and stay positive. I really need that. More than you know. I’m just, um… I’m really lucky to have you.

Rj: Hey, I’m the one that’s lucky to have you. You’re– you’re this beautiful, honest, perfect woman.

Luna: Believe me, I feel the same way about you. I don’t ever want to lose you. Okay, so are we doing this? I mean, are you sure there’s no sharks out there?

Rj: No. I mean, well, there’s gonna be me. I mean, I’m gonna be circling you, making sure that you’re okay, of course. No, I think this will be good, you know? Just try to relax and clear your mind, and you know, maybe it’ll put things in perspective. Maybe you’ll realize things aren’t as bad as you think they are.

Carter: She’s impressive. I’m sorry.

Zende: Damn it, carter.

Carter: I didn’t mean to startle you, man. I’m sorry.

Zende: Yeah, all right. It’s okay. I was just…

Carter: Looking over the interns.

Zende: Yeah.

Carter: Luna.

Zende: Mm-hmm.

Carter: Yeah, I get it.

Zende: You do?

Carter: Yeah, and she’s talented. She’s lovely. She’s made a big impact here at forrester. Luna’s very special.

Rj: Wait ’til you see the moon reflecting off the water when you’re in it. It’s just… you’ll see. You’ll see. And hey, you know I don’t want to pry, but I’m always here to help, whatever you need.

Luna: It’s is one of the countless reasons why I love you.

Rj: All right, let’s do this.

Luna: Okay.

Rj: Come on, let’s go.

[ Luna groaning ]

Steffy: It kills me to see you in so much pain. You know, I didn’t– I didn’t want any of this, but it all happened so fast.

Finn: Hey, I know. I know, okay, and… and it’s just, you know, I can’t deny how I’m feeling, though. You know, and after– after everything that she’s done to us, I mean, none of this makes sense. That I feel this connection to sheila. God, and I’ve… if I’m feeling this way, I mean, I can’t imagine how you’re feeling. I’m worried about you. And to do… you know what? And I know you had to defend yourself and you had no choice, but… just, I can’t imagine the toll this has taken on you. The right age for

Carter: I have to say, luna is definitely the standout. If she continues to work hard here. She’ll have a very bright future.

Zende: From intern to fashion mogul.

Carter: Hey, it worked for you, didn’t it?

Zende: Yeah.

Carter: Remember when you were here interning, running coffee and files up and down these halls?

Zende: Good times.

Carter: For you, maybe. You can’t make a cup of coffee to save your life.

Zende: Hey, I was a bit distracted, okay?

Carter: How could you not be? Surrounded by all this creativity. You were born to design, zende. And you were impressive then, just like you are now.

Zende: Thanks, man.

Carter: It’s a gift. I’m good at seeing potential in people. And I have to say, luna is just as, if not more impressive than you were.

Zende: I am well aware of how special luna is.

Carter: And you’re not the only one. I don’t think anyone’s more impressed with luna than rj. Dude’s whole face lights up whenever she walks in the room.

Zende: Hm.

Rj: Okay, come on. Let’s just warm up quick now that we’re back in here. Here.

Luna: Thank you.

Rj: Of course. You got it. There you go. So, was it worth it? It was worth it, right?

Luna: Hmm, yeah. It was pretty incredible. Do you do that often? Go on night swims?

Rj: Yeah, when I can. I think it’s a, I don’t know, it’s a nice way to let the world slip away. You agree?

Luna: Uh, it was pretty scary, to be honest. I mean, it was so dark out, I couldn’t see anything.

Rj: At least you had me, though, right? I’ll always be here to take care of you. Make you secure and happy.

Thomas: I’m trying to stay strong for my sister. To stay positive. I just– I hate that she’s going through this.

Hope: Me too. At least there’s one good thing that came out of it. Sheila’s dead.

Steffy: I hated sheila. I hated her with every ounce of my being, and I just wanted her to leave us alone. And I can see that you’re suffering, but I don’t want this to come between us.

Finn: Me neither. Look, and I know your family thinks that you killed an animal, but–

Steffy: But she’s your birth mother.

Finn: I know, but as much as I’m struggling, I know you are too. And I can see it.

Steffy: Yeah, I’m dealing with my own demons. And what I did. I mean, I even told sheila that I– I wanted her dead. And I thought about it. A lot. I actually just never thought I… I never wanted to take a life. I never…

[ Steffy sobs ] God.

Zende: You know, rj isn’t the only one who thinks so highly of luna. She’s awesome. She’s so smart and talented and obviously very beautiful.

Carter: You two have gotten pretty close, huh?

Zende: Why do you say that?

Carter: It’s the way you’re going on about her.

Zende: Man, I’m just agreeing with you. And rj. Pretty much everyone who’s ever met her.

Carter: Okay, well, with the way things are going, I’m pretty sure you’ll work with her more often. Get to know her even better.

Zende: I’d like that a lot.

Luna: Do you really mean it?

Rj: What?

Luna: When you say that you’ll always take care of me?

Rj: Of course. Absolutely. I mean, you changed my life. Really, you did. I just– I want to make sure that you always feel secure and loved.

Luna: I wish we were never apart.

Thomas: Look, I don’t care what finn’s feeling right now or what he’s mourning. Look, sheila has devastated our family and terrorized our families for years, right? Your mother, too. Sheila was evil. She deserved a lot worse than she got. And I don’t have the sympathy for finn that you have. Steffy is freaking out right now. And she needs her husband to be there. And for some reason, her husband is mourning the loss of the woman who tried to kill her.

Hope: Finn just needs more time.

Thomas: He doesn’t have any more time. I don’t care what he feels like he needs to get through or get over or whatever. Like, he needs to get over it now and be there for steffy.

Steffy: Now, I know you don’t want to hear this.

Finn: Well, yeah, I do.

Steffy: But if I open up to you, are you gonna just run out again?

Finn: No, I’m not gonna run out. Hey. Talk to me.

Steffy: It’s just when I think about sheila, everything that she’s done to us, my mother, how she’s tormented my family? I thought about it a lot. Like, what I would have to do to protect myself. What I would do to protect our children. And I knew exactly what to do. But when sheila lunged at me and I felt my knife go into her, I didn’t– I didn’t feel rage or relief. I felt anguish. And that haunts me. The way I look at– look at my hands. I look over there and all I see is just blood. Like, I took a life. Yes, it was self-defense, but I… I killed someone. And I don’t know if I’m– if I’m ever gonna feel normal again and that really worries me. Or if you’re ever gonna look at me the same way again. The company goes to the first born audrey. The model train set is entrusted to todd. Mr. Marbles will receive recurring deliveries for all of his needs in perpetuity, thanks to autoship from chewY. I always loved that old maN. What’s it say about the summer house? Yeah, the beach housE. The summer residents goes to mr. Marbles. Plot twist. I’m sorry, what? Doesn’t make logistical sense? Unbelievable. Pets aren’t just pets. They’re more. You got a train set todd. Save 35% off your first autoship order. At chewy. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Zende: Hello, luna.

Luna: Hi.

Zende: You’re here.

Luna: It feels so good being in your arms.

Rj: I could do this all night. Actually, I was wondering if you’d like to stay over?

Luna: I was hoping you’d ask.

Rj: Yeah?

Rj: I love being with you. I really do feel like I get to just be myself around you. And– and you know, plus, you– you find all my corny jokes really sexy, so…

Luna: Um, no. I find them pretty corny. But I do think you’re sexy. I mean it though, rj. I never wanna be away from you. I mean, you’re so kind and sweet, caring. I’ve never met someone more honest and loyal.

Rj: I’ve never met anyone more honest and loyal than you.

Luna: I never thought that I’d meet someone like you. Someone so warm and genuine. Never doubt how much I love you.

Thomas: Now look, I don’t mean to be insensitive. But this is how I feel. Look, sheila was obsessed with my family. She shot both of our mothers and now she’s finally dead so we can all breathe.

Hope: You are not being insensitive. You’re being a protective brother. And that’s what I love about you. Look, I know this has been hard for all of us.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, it’s finally over. And I get that it is illogical and it may not make sense to us, but… the connection that finn feels to sheila is very real.

Thomas: What’s real is that finn has a family and a traumatized wife who needs him.

Hope: And finn needs steffy too right now. And that is what I am worried about. That all of this has compromised their ability to be there for one another. I mean, what if killing sheila has jeopardized steffy and finn’s marriage?

Finn: I hate that you’re suffering.

Steffy: I hate that you’re suffering too. What are you thinking?

Finn: I want to be there for you. I do. But, you know, hearing you talk about taking sheila’s life and you know, knowing that it happened here, in this– in this room, in our house, it’s just… I don’t know, it’s a lot. It’s a lot and it just makes– it makes– makes me feel like I could have another panic attack, like this house is haunted and it’s just– it’s– I hate feeling this way. Because I– I love you. Honey, I love you and the kids. You, you are my life. This house. This is– this is our house. And I hate feeling like I need to leave because of what happened here.

Steffy: No, I don’t– I don’t want you to leave either. I can’t even tell you how much I love you. I need you. I– I can’t even imagine going through this without you. I need my husband, finn. I need you. I need you.

Finn: Okay.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Are you coming from work?

Mariah: Yes, I got sucked in by some very exciting reports. And now, I am absolutely starving, so I thought the manager and I could, you know, sit down and have a snack. Unless that’s not going to work for some reason?

Tessa: Oh, no, no, no. Yeah, that’s totally fine. Uh, just give me a second.

Mariah: Okay. Something’s bugging you. What’s going on?

Ashley: How long do you intend to keep me waiting?

Tucker: What is this about?

Ashley: I’ll tell you when I see you. It’s too important to get into on the phone.

Tucker: Well, your text said urgent, but I don’t see what there could possibly be between us anymore that’s so important.

Ashley: Well, let me show you.

Tucker: Again, what is the point, ashley? It’s very late. I’m getting ready to go to paris.

Ashley: Without me?

Tucker: Yes, without you. With audra. But don’t worry, on your behalf, I will throw some chairs and break some glasses at our favorite bistro.

Ashley: That’s very funny. It’s also ancient history.

Tucker: Would you please stop? This is getting so old. So either wish me a bon voyage or hang up. Either way, this conversation is over.

Ashley: Trust me, when I talk to you face to face, you’re going to rethink paris. You’re going to rethink everything.

Nikki: I’m sorry I had to bother you so late.

Jack: No, it is never a bother, nikki.

Nikki: Well, I’m sure diane didn’t appreciate it.

Jack: Diane understands, and I am happy to be here, particularly as it seems you are here alone.

Nikki: Everybody else is in bed. I– I couldn’t sleep. My mind is swimming.

Jack: Okay, okay, well I’m–

Nikki: It’s been a rough night.

Jack: I’m glad you called me instead of going out for a drink. And thank god there is no alcohol left in this house. What?

[ Phone rings ]

Victor: Hello.

Jordan: Hello, victor. Is this a good time? Sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Victor: Well now, I did expect your call. So, you told claire that you would reach out to me, right?

Jordan: How fortunate my niece was able to pass that along before that terrible fire at victoria’s house.

Victor: Well, you had a busy night, didn’t you?

Jordan: I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s been all over the news, I’ve just been reading about it. And apparently, from what I’ve read, there have been no– no injuries, no casualties. Is that true?

Victor: Let’s get back to claire, okay?

Jordan: Ah, claire. Yes. Why don’t you tell me, truthfully, where she’s residing now, and with whom?

Victor: Well, that will be her decision.

Jordan: How egalitarian of you. Quite a change.

Victor: So, claire gave you the message that I wanted to talk to you?

Jordan: And I don’t buy a word of it.

[ Victor laughs ]

Victor: Well, one thing I can assure you of, I’m a man of my word, you know?

Jordan: Oh, victor, please. It’s been decades. Do you really think that I believe, after what I have done to your family, that you are suddenly remorseful over what you did to my sister?

Victor: Well, no, it’s precisely because of what you have done to my family, all right? Obviously, I’m willing to make amends. Whatever you ask me to do, to put an end to this horrible story.

Jack: Did you have someone bring that to you?

Nikki: No. When victor had the house searched, they must have missed it.

Jack: Nikki–

Nikki: It’s full. The seal is unbroken. I didn’t have any. But I almost did.

Jack: Okay. You said it’s been a rough night.

Nikki: I don’t even know where to begin. With the house fire or my former sponsor’s murder.

Tucker: You got 10 minutes.

Ashley: I only need five.

Tucker: So, does this visit have anything to do with abby’s visit earlier?

Ashley: Abby was here?

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: What did she want?

Tucker: She thinks I must be toying with you because of how you’ve been acting lately.

Ashley: How have i been acting?

Tucker: So civil. And admitting you were wrong about paris. Trying to persuade devon to give me another chance. Oh, yes. Seems you went a little too far with that one, didn’t you? Set off major alarm bells in abby’s head.

Ashley: Well, she doesn’t understand. I’m sure she thinks that you set me up to pleading your case, and we know that’s not what happened.

Tucker: Yeah, I told her that there’s a possibility you’re setting me up for something, but she wasn’t having that, so she has officially put me on notice. She’ll be watching me, making sure I don’t hurt you again.

Ashley: How sweet.

Tucker: Yeah.

Ashley: How unnecessary.

Tucker: Yeah. Warned me to stay the hell away.

Ashley: Don’t you worry about abby. She’s being overprotective, but she won’t bother you anymore.

Tucker: What she is is confused. And frankly, so am I, by all these bizarre 180s of yours. If anybody’s playing games here, it’s you.

Ashley: I understand you’re skeptical. And that’s why I’m here. I want you to know that I meant what I said. I want things to go back to the– the way they were between us. Because neither one of us has ever felt that way before, and we never will again. Not with anyone. The years that we’ve shared, I mean, all the obstacles that we’ve– we’ve gotten through, right? Our guards were up. Well, I’ve let mine down, and now it’s your turn.

Tucker: Ashley–

Ashley: And this plan that you have for glissade, tucker, it’s brilliant. I want to be a part of it. I want to be a part of every single aspect of your life, both personally and professionally.

Tucker: Um, you see, I don’t trust you anymore.

Ashley: We’re not good at trust. We’ve established that, but guess what? I think I’ve figured it out.

Tucker: Please–

Ashley: Listen to me, please. It takes honesty.

Tucker: No. You’re not listening to me. This is not going to happen.

Ashley: It’s not?

Tucker: No.

Ashley: Then, why did you invite me up to your suite? Anthony: This making you uncomfortable?

Tucker: I thought you might have something honest to say for once, but clearly you don’t, so I’ll just take the opportunity to tell you to your face that if you’re running some kind of scam here, it’s not going to work.

Ashley: There’s no scam. I have no ulterior motive. I’m after one thing, and you– you know what that is.

Tucker: Hey, stop! No. No. We’re not doing that. If you’re– if you’re setting me up for something, ashley, if you’re laying some kind of trap, I am never gonna fall into it, okay? I’m sorry if that messes with your plans.

Ashley: We love each other. It’s as simple as that, and we were on track to be outrageously happy. The world was ours for the taking. We got derailed.

Tucker: Stop.

Ashley: Listen, we can get back on track.

Tucker: Stop.

Ashley: I just need you to meet me ha–

Tucker: That’s enough! It’s not gonna work.

Tessa: Wow, I did not realize how hungry I was.

Mariah: Let me guess. You haven’t eaten in hours, right? Is that where you were on edge when I walked in?

Tessa: Um, actually… something happened… and I didn’t mention it because it upset me, and I knew it was gonna upset you, too.

Mariah: Okay. Well, I promise not to flip out, so just tell me.

Tessa: Well, you know how security at the ranch has been stepped up because of jordan being on the loose?

Mariah: Yeah.

Tessa: On my way out, one of the guards stopped me, thinking I was her. And I froze, and it freaked me out.

Mariah: What? No! They know you. They know us. How could this happen?

Tessa: Well, this guy was new, and once he figured it out, he was so apologetic. But you know what? It– it really freaked me out.

Mariah: Well, yeah, of course it would. That’s terrifying. And you know what? I don’t care if the guy is new. He should have been briefed better. I’m gonna talk to victor about this.

Tessa: Thank you.

[ Tessa sighs ] I mean, I know. This woman is a menace, and I am glad that there’s security, but it’s gotten to be a bit much.

Mariah: Yeah. Well, it’s been going on for weeks now, and everyone’s on edge.

Tessa: I’m worried that aria is picking up on it.

Mariah: I just hate that this is what passes for normal at the ranch.

Tessa: If this is the way it’s gonna be, maybe it’s time to move.

Jack: Wait, are you sure it was murder? Could it have been an– an accident or a suicide?

Nikki: I am sure. When we met for coffee, seth was very excited about his decision to go to rehab.

Jack: Could he have been covering for your benefit?

Nikki: No. He wasn’t depressed. He hadn’t had one drop of alcohol the whole day. He was not a man getting ready to fling himself in front of his speeding car.

Jack: So you think he was at this bar to confront jordan?

Nikki: I know that he was. Victor and I went there to the bar, and one of the officers said that seth was seen leaving with a woman. And then right after that, the same woman came back in and claimed that seth said, “tell nikki newman I’m sorry,” right before supposedly killing himself, which was a lie. She pushed him. She killed him to send me a message. Of course, she had disappeared by the time the police got there.

Jack: Oh, nikki, I am so sorry about all of this.

Nikki: If only I hadn’t asked him to string her along to help me, he’d still be alive.

Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, don’t start thinking like that. This woman is a sociopath. This is not your fault.

Nikki: It’s only the half of it.

Jack: Wait, what do you mean?

Nikki: Jordan wasn’t done yet. Shortly after that, victoria got a phone call that her house was on fire.

Jack: What?

Nikki: She and victor raced over there, but the house couldn’t be saved.

Jack: Oh, my god. Poor victoria.

Nikki: And johnny and katie. Thank god, they’re at boarding school. Nobody was in the house, but their whole life is in there.

Jack: But no one was hurt.

Nikki: Yeah, I’m sure jordan will be disappointed to hear about that.

Jack: And I’m sure victor has his security team and the police on high alert. I mean, took– I had to go through several checkpoints to get in here.

Nikki: They can’t be everywhere all at once. And I am terrified for my family and how much I want to have a drink.

Jack: Okay, um, we could make a meeting if we left right now.

Nikki: Let’s go.

Jordan: I don’t know exactly what is supposed to end. I’m merely trying to live my life. You’re the ones that stole claire from me and turned her against me.

Victor: Given that you stole her from us when she was a baby.

Jordan: To give her a better life. To give her a more honest life. Something you would never have done. To show her what real family loyalty is.

Victor: Well now, jordan, your loyalty to your sister is– is deeply touching.

Jordan: My sister deserved your loyalty, victor. Instead you treated her like garbage.

Victor: Well, you know, I have a lot of regrets in my life. None bigger than the pangs of conscience I feel whenever I think of your sister, eve.

Jordan: So, tell me victor. Unburden yourself. Tell me all about it. Tell me what you’re going to do to make amends for my sister.

Victor: In order to do that, I’m going to have to look into your eyes, you know? So, let’s meet somewhere.

[ Jordan laughs ]

Jordan: So, I can walk right into your trap?

Victor: Or I into yours, right? I mean, are you willing to take the risk? I am. Y’all wayfair makes it so easy

Tessa: If jordan burned down victoria’s house, what else is she capable of? Aria is so vulnerable.

Mariah: Her safety is top priority and ours.

Tessa: Right. So, is the ranch really the right place to raise our baby? I mean even when the police catch up with this woman… the newmans don’t exactly live a simple quiet life. I mean there’s something always popping up with them. I mean a new threat, a conflict, and everyone around them just gets sucked in. I’m sorry, I– I don’t mean to upset you.

Mariah: No. No, no, you– you’re not upsetting me. I mean, I am upset about the guard, but I’ll get over that. It’s just– yeah, I– I never thought we’d stay there forever. The ranch is beautiful, and the tack house is amazing, but it’s always felt weird to me, you know? Living in a separate house on victor’s property. I mean, sharon’s house was one thing, but–

Tessa: It’s the newman ranch.

Mariah: And we’re not newmans. So, maybe it’s time to create our own home.

Nikki: Hi. My name is nikki and I’m an alcoholic. This has been one of the worst nights of my life. Um, some of you may know part of my story from other meetings.

[ Nikki sighs ] I have been through months of torture… where a mad woman who knew my history force fed me with alcohol through an iv. She was trying to destroy my sobriety. And she did. So, I found myself back at aa, craving alcohol and desperately wanting my sobriety back. So, um, I reconnected… with my long time sponsor, seth. And I think a lot of you in the room know him. And I’m so sorry to have to tell you that… seth died earlier tonight. He was hit by a car… outside of a bar. Now– now, to be clear, he was sober. He was pushed in front of that car by the same woman that I just mentioned. Her name is jordan. And I know that she is responsible for killing him. I– I– I wasn’t there. I didn’t witness it. I don’t have any proof. But I know that she did it. And I hate her for it. I hate her even more than I did before. And I just feel such tremendous guilt. Because, without my knowing, she tricked seth into believing that she and i were friends and she used him to spy on me. And so then when I realized what she was up to I– I asked him to keep her on the hook so that the police could catch her. And he was so eager to help me, I mean that’s just the kind of man he was. He always went above and beyond for me. And this time it cost him his life and now I– I wish that I hadn’t asked him to help me, you know? But I did, and so I feel partially responsible. And it will haunt me for the rest of my life. And now… all I want to do is drink. I want to crawl inside that bottle. But I know that that would not be the right way to honor seth’s memory. He would want me to be strong, he– he would want that for all of us. So, that’s what I intend to do. Because I’m going to make it my life’s mission to make sure that that monstrous, murderous bitch is put back behind bars. I want to see her punished, not just lack of her freedom. No, no, no, I want to see her pay and pay and pay for all of the people that she has killed, including seth. Frankly, I want to see her pay with her life. I want her to die in prison and not from old age. I want it to be in the most horrific way, unbearable agony with her begging for the mercy she didn’t show our seth. That’s what I want. And that’s what she deserves. So… if there is any justice in the world, if karma is real… that’s exactly what she’s gonna get. Soon enough, soon enough.

Ashley: You’re not gonna intimidate me just because you yelled at me.

Tucker: Why is it, ashley, every time I raise my voice above a whisper you accuse me of trying to coerce you somehow?

Ashley: I’m not accusing you of anything, tucker. I’m here to tell you that I understand you.

Tucker: Do you?

Ashley: Yeah. I know that all this anger and rage and suspicion is because I wounded you so deeply. I’m so sorry.

Tucker: Apology accepted. Now, you can get the hell out of my apartment.

Ashley: What are you doing?

Tucker: I have things to do.

Ashley: What? Like take somebody you don’t love to paris, when you could take me? When the two of us could be together just like we always dreamed of?

Tucker: This is just too ludicrous.

Ashley: What do I have to do to prove to you that I will never hurt you that way again? I promise you. Name it. Name it, whatever you want. I will never hurt you that way again, I swear.

[ Knocking on door ]

Audra: Tucker. Hi.

Tucker: Hey.

Audra: What’s she doing here?

Tucker: Just leaving, actually. With moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

[ Ashley sighs ]

Ashley: I give that kiss about a three out of ten.

Audra: What’s going on here?

Ashley: Let me explain it to you, audra, and I’ll speak slowly so you can understand me. Tucker and I will be husband and wife again. I’m not going to back down for anyone or anything, and that’s including you. Because what we have is a once-in-a-lifetime connection between two people that were meant to be together. Now, I sabotaged that, and I was stupid. And now, I need to rectify my mistake and I will. You can count on it.

Audra: Ugh.

Tucker: God.

Audra: So suddenly, she’s madly in love with you, and wants you back?

Mariah: Oh, okay. Is this what we’re thinking? Look, it’s three bedrooms, two and a half baths, it’s a little east of the university. Walk to downtown, got to love the commune.

Tessa: Um, is there a yard for aria to play?

Mariah: There is a patio. No grass or trees. Lots to take care of.

Tessa: But there’s no room for a swing set. And what about privacy?

Mariah: Well, look, there’s a fence, yikes, but the houses on either side look down into the yard– excuse me, patio. Yeah, no, this is definitely more of a city center feel. If we want green space, we’d have to head to the park.

Tessa: Hm, I’ve never thought of myself as the suburban mom type.

Mariah: Oh, just wait until aria starts soccer.

Tessa: Oh, no, can’t think about that.

[ Both laughing ] Hey, what about something like this? Uh, newly renovated farmhouse in park-like setting on half acre with mature trees. I mean, doesn’t that sound nice and safe and romantic? And it’s in our price range.

Mariah: Lovely. How far out in the boonies is it?

Tessa: Oh, the boonies are great.

Mariah: No.

Tessa: And in this case, affordable.

Mariah: Okay, clearly, we need to make a list. Wants, needs, absolute deal breakers. We also gotta look at interest rates, taxes, all that stuff. I mean, we gotta put a kid through college someday.

Tessa: Wow, all this and brains too.

Mariah: You know, I have heard they come in handy sometimes.

Jack: Venting all that rage had to feel pretty good.

Nikki: Yeah, it did. But I know it won’t last.

Jack: No, it rarely does.

Nikki: I’ll wake up tomorrow, and seth will still be dead, and victoria’s house will still be in ashes. But being in front of those people, and saying out loud how much I detest jordan, that helped.

Jack: Yeah, I got that by the look in your face.

Nikki: Yeah, serenity mixed in with hatred.

Jack: Yeah, something like that.

Nikki: Jack, you have been my hero a few times lately. I don’t know that I would be able to hold it together without you.

Jack: Oh, sure you would. No doubt in my mind. I’m just glad you don’t have to.

Nikki: Yeah, me too. Um, so I have just one more favor to ask.

Jack: Ask away.

Nikki: Please take this away. Even though I’m feeling strong, you never know when the urge is going to come back, please.

If you’re taking

an antidepressant,

Victor: What is that bottle doing in here?

Nikki: I didn’t know I had it. As you can see, it’s unopened partly thanks to jack, and he was just going to get rid of it for me.

Victor: I hope we don’t find any other alcohol on this ranch.

Nikki: Well, I’m not aware of any.

Jack: I will see that it is disposed of off the premises. Good night to both of you.

Victor: Thank you, jack.

Nikki: What are you doing up and dressed? I thought you went to bed.

Victor: Told you I have to make a call from the office.

Nikki: At this hour?

Victor: Yeah. It’s late afternoon in singapore.

Nikki: Victor, can’t it wait?

Victor: Sweetheart, I said I have to make a call.

Nikki: All right, it’s just us.

Victor: Right.

Nikki: Why don’t you tell me what’s really going on?

Tucker: You’ve got absolutely nothing to worry about. You can believe that.

Audra: Well, I just walked in here in your suite, and found your ex, declaring that it’s her new mission to win you back. Look, I’m not worried, but I sure as hell am annoyed.

Tucker: I hear you. That’s fair. But this was not some secret rendezvous.

Audra: Then what was it? Why weren’t you at the bar downstairs in public? Why did this meeting have to take place in a room with a bed?

Tucker: Because she was absolutely insistent that we meet in person immediately, and I was in the middle of packing, so it was more convenient for me.

Audra: Yeah, for her too, I’m sure. You know, if she was that upfront with me that she wants and loves you, I can only imagine what she had the brass to say before I showed up.

Tucker: I can understand you being pissed off, but I just don’t want you to be jealous.

Audra: Jealous? I have every right to feel the way I feel with this entire situation. She’s still around, in our lives, in your room.

Tucker: Right, but you heard my response to her, right? You heard what I said.

Audra: She’s not getting the message.

Tucker: I don’t know how I can be any more clear.

Audra: You know, tell me the truth. Has she done this before? Insist you get back together?

Tucker: No, never. Which makes me suspect there’s some, uh, strategic move at play here. To what end, I have no idea, but it’s not going to work. Hey. I almost lost you once. And… I’m never going to let that happen again.

[ Audra sighs ]

Audra: Well, at least, I guess, you can see what she’s up to. She’s such a mess. Did you see her reaction after we kissed? She wasn’t cool or collected at all for that second. You know, that tough stance of hers is sheer bravado.

Tucker: Yeah, just I– I saw something in her– in her eyes, though. Different than that, it was– she was confused, like she didn’t know what she was doing or why she was here.

Audra: I don’t know, I highly doubt ashley abbott’s ever confused about anything. But at least you packed for paris.

Tucker: Oui.

Audra: Despite the interruption, does ashley know that we’re leaving for paris?

Tucker: The first thing I mentioned.

Audra: Is she going to follow us there, hide in your suitcase?

Tucker: She might. I’ll be sure to check before we go to the airport. No, she’s not going to interfere with this trip.

Audra: I want to believe that. I just– I can’t wait to be on that plane with you. Just away from all of this. Just you and me, together in paris in a way we have never been before.

Tucker: I’m going to be the absolutely luckiest man in paris.

Audra: You already are.

Ashley: Uh, an old fashioned, please. Thanks. I think she suspects. It won’t be much longer now. And then she’ll be safe. For good. I would’ve called yesterday.

Mariah: Okay, look, look. This one checks an awful lot of boxes.

Tessa: Oh, the kitchen. Okay, that kitchen is now one of my must-haves. Whoever designed it thought of everything.

Mariah: You’ve always said you wanted to learn how to cook, so–

Tessa: Oh, there’s actually room to spread out. We could even cook together sometime.

Mariah: Oh, baby. It’s so great to have dreams.

[ Both laughing ]

Tessa: Oh, the location. Could it be any more perfect?

Mariah: Yeah, new roof, finished basement. I mean, ridiculous amounts of storage, and look, look. The little sunroom overlooking the yard.

Tessa: Are you thinking a home office?

Mariah: Uh, or a playroom. Or both. [ Laughs ]

Tessa: I love this, you know?

Mariah: What? Looking at houses that we’re probably not gonna buy?

Tessa: No, planning our future. I mean, think about it. We have a lifetime together. We get to watch aria grow up for years and years. Neither of us grew up in a house with a sunroom/playroom with parents that adored us and we get to give that to our daughter. And to each other. I mean, it’s incredible.

Mariah: We’re living the dream.

Tessa: No one else I’d want to live with.

Victor: I told you that I have to make a call to singapore.

Nikki: From newman?

Victor: Yes.

Nikki: Right this second?

Victor: Either way, why did you call jack over?

Nikki: Because I was in danger of opening the bottle. You should be grateful that I got a hold of jack when I did.

Victor: All right. I’m glad you didn’t drink. And I’m glad that he took the damn bottle with him. So, uh, why don’t you get some rest, sweetheart?

Nikki: Victor, I am not letting you slip out the door at this hour when I don’t know what you’re up to.

Victor: I gotta get going. Right now, okay?

Nikki: Tell me where you’re going. Tell me the truth.

Tucker: Something’s not right.

Ashley: Well, hello, jackie. How are you?

Jack: Well, let’s just say it’s nice to be home.

Ashley: I know exactly what you mean.

Jack: Well, I guess you were right about a walk in the brisk night air. You seem–

Ashley: What? Refreshed?

Jack: In a good mood.

Ashley: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, honestly, for the first time in a while, I don’t know, I feel like everything is coming together. Like, I’ve got this– this vision for my life, you know?

Jack: Without tucker, I hope.

Ashley: Absolutely.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

[ Door clicks open ]

Phyllis: It’s just difficult trying to be the person that my kids want me to be. And at the end of the day, I just feel alone.

Nikki: I’m afraid I’m just not up to telling stories tonight.

Claire: Not even the legendary story of how nikki reed met victor newman?

Michael: Don’t make me a liar to my wife. No heroics, no surprises. I promised lauren I’d be home in a couple of hours, safe and sound.

Victor: Lauren has nothing to worry about, okay? I love that my daughter still needs me.

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: I am so sorry, finn. There’s just so much to process, you know, so much. But… I reacted. I mean, she came right at me. I did it to save myself.

Finn: I know, I know. Okay, and I just… I think my emotions need to catch up. I’m exhausted and this day has been endless.

Steffy: So, are you gonna sleep at the hospital again?

Finn: No. I wanna come home.

Steffy: Yeah.

Poppy: You two make such a great couple. Don’t you agree, zende?

Zende: They sure are something.

Rj: Sorry, I just missed you.

Luna: No, you have– you have nothing to be sorry about.

Rj: Is everything okay? You seem a little off.

Luna: I just realized I’m not good at this. I can’t do it.

Rj: What are you talking about? What do you mean you’re not good at this?

Poppy: Luna’s always been shy about expressing affection in public. But, um, sweetie, pda’s are unavoidable when a couple loves each other as much as you two do.

Rj: Yeah, and you know, the last thing I want you to be is uncomfortable. Do you want to go someplace more private? Maybe my place?

Luna: Uh, yeah, I’d love to.

Rj: Okay, I got a meeting in the cutting room, but I’ll meet you downstairs in ten.

Luna: Okay, I’ll be there.

Rj: Okay. See you.

Poppy: Bye. You were going to tell him, weren’t you?

Luna: I hate having this secret between us.

Poppy: Okay, but, luna, if you tell rj that you accidentally slept with zende, you will lose him.

Zende: She’s right, luna. You have to be very careful of what you stand to lose, or gain, if you decide to go down this road.

Hope: Ah, good, we’re alone.

Steffy: I had a cleaning crew specializes in, um…

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: I just wanna put this behind us. I really do. I want this house to feel like your home again.

Finn: And I want that, too. At bombas, we’re obsessed with socks.

Poppy: Aren’t you worried? I can’t think of anything else.

Zende: Isn’t that why you have your magic mints? Take the edge off?

Poppy: I am fully aware that I am the reason why luna is in this awful situation. I just wish I kept better track of my mints that evening.

Zende: Yeah, I wish you had, too. Did I want to be with luna? Yes, I don’t deny it, but not the way it happened.

Poppy: I am terrified that luna will tell rj about being with you and she will lose that happiness that she found. Forever.

Luna: I hope you know how much our relationship means to me, and I’d never knowingly do anything to jeopardize it.

Rj: Hey, I’m in this for the long haul. You know that.

Luna: I hope so.

Rj: Is everything alright? Hey, you know what? I’m sorry. We don’t have to talk about that if you don’t want to. You know me. I’m right here to help whenever you need me. But… I do have an idea for something that we can do together that might be the solution to all your problems.

Luna: Yeah? What’s that?

Rj: Night swim?

Thomas: Hey, when you saw steffy earlier, how’d she seem?

Hope: Well, you know your sister. She’s putting on a brave face. Obviously, she’s horrified that she took a life, even if it was in self-defense. And the fact that it is her husband’s birth mother just adds to the guilt.

Thomas: Yeah, sorry. I don’t– I don’t have a lot of patience with finn’s torment over sheila’s demise. I mean, has he forgotten that sheila shot him and his wife, my sister, and left them for dead? Or– or– or the fact that she broke into their house and could have killed his wife? I mean, steffy could be dead right now because of sheila.

Hope: Of course, finn understands that, thomas. But sheila was still his birth mother, I mean, like it or not, there is a connection there. One that finn doesn’t even understand. And you can’t just wish it away. Sheila’s dead because of steffy and that’s hard for him to absorb. So, I just– you know, I just told steffy to try to understand her husband’s feelings.

Steffy: Here you go.

Finn: Thank you.

Steffy: I’m really glad that you’re home. I’m glad that you want to be here despite everything that happened.

Finn: And everything that I love is in this house. You, the kids, my surfboard.

[ Finn sighs heavily ]

Steffy: You look tired.

Finn: Well, like I said, it’s been a long day.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Where are the kids?

Steffy: Kelly is with liam and hayes is with grandma li. It does give us a night to ourselves. It gives us a chance to reconnect. We need it.

Finn: I know. I’m here.

Zende: Can you bring in those swatches on your way into work tomorrow? Okay. All right, awesome. Thank you. There it is again. Don’t you have somewhere to be? I’m trying to work.

Poppy: Well, excuse me if I’m concerned about my daughter.

Zende: I am too, but there’s nothing that we can do at the moment. Except to keep encouraging her not to tell rj what happened with me by mistake. What? I care about luna and her happiness. I wish she had found it with me, but that’s not how things worked out. Rj is the lucky winner.

Poppy: You talk a good game, I’ll give you that. Not the reason I’m concerned.

Zende: Look, I am not plotting to come in between luna and rj, if that’s what you’re afraid of. However, if he’s stupid enough to lose her or to push her away, I will be there to pick up the pieces. Count on it.

Poppy: Easy there, tiger. Don’t get your hopes up. The only thing that can come between them is if luna tells rj about what happened with you. And I’m going to make sure that she doesn’T. And not to protect herself, but to protect you and your family. Especially your relationship with rj.

Rj: Do you trust me?

Luna: You know I do.

Rj: Well then I’m telling you a night swim is exactly what you need.

Luna: I mean, I’ve never been in the ocean after dark.

Rj: It– it’s a first. That’s even better. Come on!

Luna: I don’t know, rj.

Rj: Listen, I’ll be right there with you. The whole time. Hm? It’ll be fun. Maybe, you know, it’ll take your mind off of whatever’s been bothering you.

Luna: I love how you’re always looking out for me.

Rj: Well, you know, it’s– it’s my job, so… no, come on, what do you say? A night swim always clears my mind. Maybe it’ll do the same for you. And you left your swimsuit here. Wait, do you hear that? I– it’s the ocean. It’s the ocean. It’s calling your name.

Luna: Okay, fine, let’s do it.

Rj: Yes, let’s do it. Come on.

Thomas: You and steffy didn’t get into a fight or anything, did you?

Hope: No. But she wasn’t exactly receptive to me either, which is fine. She’s going through a lot right now, but so is finn. And that was the only point I was trying to make.

Thomas: I’m guessing steffy isn’t exactly receptive of finn’s grief over sheila.

Hope: No. But she also just can’t brush it under the rug and dismiss it. I mean, his feelings are valid. Sheila gave birth to him.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Steffy killed her, and so, obviously, there is going to be a conflict there. I just hope that they can treat it with understanding and compassion.

Thomas: Did you say that to steffy?

Hope: I tried. I’m not sure my delivery was the greatest. Um, and quite frankly, I don’t think steffy even really wanted to hear it coming from me. But, I don’t know, I just– sheila’s death, I really do worry, might create some problems in their marriage.

Steffy: You have no idea how much I needed this.

Finn: I think I have an idea.

Steffy: I love you so much. Never forget that.

Finn: No, I never do. I love you too. More than– more than anything, sorry.

Steffy: No, no, no, don’t be. You’re exhausted. So, how about this? Why don’t you just rest up a bit? I’ll hop in the shower and wake you up with a kiss when I’m back, okay?

Finn: I love the sound of that. Hm.

[ Finn sobbing ] (Vo) for over 50 years

[ Zende sighing ]

Rj: Wow. Wow. God, you look amazing.

Luna: You make me feel amazing.

Rj: Come on, you don’t need me for that. You know how special you are. You are beautiful. Inside and out. And you are sweet and you are funny. You’re one of the most honest people I’ve ever met.

Luna: I don’t ever want to do anything to disappoint you. Or not see love in your eyes whenever you look at me.

Rj: It’ll never happen.

Luna: No, I mean it, rj. I mean, you mean everything to me. I can’t imagine my life without you.

Rj: Don’t even think about it. I’m not going anywhere.

Luna: You know, I’m gonna hold you to that.

Rj: Okay.

Luna: In fact, I think I’m just gonna hold you.

Hope: Steffy and finn love each other. They have a wonderful marriage, a beautiful family. And for sheila to cause problems for them, even beyond the grave, is unacceptable. They can’t let her win. I mean, now’s the time that they have to really become devoted to each other. Listen to each other. Or try to act with– with compassion and understanding. And… I just– I don’t know, that’s– that is what I was trying to tell steffy, but she was not ready to hear it. Or at least she did not want to hear it from me.

Thomas: I love how much you care. It shows the kind of kind and compassionate person you are. However, I don’t really wanna spend the rest of the day talking about steffy and finn if we don’t have to. Love always finds a way, right? And they love each other. So, it’s gonna be okay. I mean, look at us. Found a way somehow for us and I will always love you.

Sheila: I love you so much, baby. My son.

[ Echoing ] Son.

Steffy: No. No. No.

[ Steffy and sheila grunting ]

Finn: NO.

Sheila: No, stop.

Finn: Stop, stop.

[ Sheila gasping ]

Finn: No, stop, stop. Stop. Stop, stop.

Sheila: Finn, help me.

Finn: Stop, stop, stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.

Steffy: Finn? Finn, what– what happened? Baby, what happened?

Finn: She was just here– she was– sheila and I saw the– uh, I saw everything. I just saw the knife and the blood. And I saw the– the… I saw everything that happened and– and– and she was– my name and she was– she was– she was– she got– I couldn’t help her.

Steffy: Baby, baby, hey.

Finn: I couldn’t help her I couldn’t save her and I… I just– I just, I…

Steffy: Baby, you were sleeping, okay? Hey, hey. Breathe. Breathe, okay? Breathe. I’m here. You fell asleep on the couch. You had a nightmare. You’re safe. You’re safe now. Oh, god, I hate you’re so tortured by this. But we’re gonna get through this, okay? You and me, like we get through everything. I love you, okay? It’s okay. It’s okay.

Steffy runs to him to comfort him.

RJ and Luna kiss at the office, too, while Poppy and Zende watch. Poppy admires them. RJ notices that Luna doesn’t seem to be acting like herself. She’s about to tell RJ the truth about sleeping with Zende when Poppy intervenes, saying that Luna doesn’t like PDA. RJ buys it, and they arrange to meet at his place. Luna really wants to be honest with RJ, but once again, Poppy and Zende urge her not to, or she’ll lose RJ. Zende makes a snide remark to Poppy about her mints, and they have a short discussion. He makes it clear that he’ll replace RJ in a heartbeat if he can, but she thinks that Luna and RJ are too much in love.

RJ and Luna go for a night swim at his place. Luna isn’t sure that she should, but he talks her into it.

Thomas asks Hope how Steffy seemed when she saw her earlier. Hope tells her that Sheila is horrified and feeling guilty. Thomas doesn’t feel much sympathy for Sheila, or Finn’s grief. Hope informs him that Finn knows that Steffy isn’t responsible, but he’s having a hard time dealing with everything. She tells him that she tried to get Steffy to understand Finn’s feelings.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Firefighter: Ng ]

Victoria: Oh, my god.

Firefighter: Sorry, miss, but you have to move on. You can’t be this close to the blaze.

Victoria: No, no, no, no. That’s my home.

Nikki: It was jordan. We should have known she’d go this far and yet…

Claire: Why haven’t we heard anything?

Nikki: They’ll call soon.

Claire: Fire is jordan’s weapon of choice. She told me so herself. A good fire is often the perfect solution for a bad situation. And the prison fire was successful. Why would she stop there?

Nikki: She’s pure evil.

Claire: The second she heard that victoria and I were supposedly in that house, it goes up in flames. She couldn’t wait to light that match. My aunt, the woman who raised me, who– who my whole life, she told me that she was my salvation. That it was us against the world? She couldn’t wait to burn that place to the ground with me in it.

[ Knock on door ]

Tucker: Hey, abby. Something wrong?

Abby: You actually sound concerned.

Tucker: Uh, well, if there’s a problem, then–

Abby: What game are you playing with my mom now?

Jack: Hey, thought I heard you down here. What’s got you up so late?

Ashley: I’m not sure. I won’t let me moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Jack: Something bothering you?

Ashley: I was so exhausted. I mean, I didn’t even change outta my clothes. Uh, then I had the most bizarre dream. It– it woke me up.

Jack: And what was the dream about?

Ashley: I was with you and traci at the athletic club and we were arguing and you were yelling and you were so loud, but I couldn’t understand what you were saying to me. And then all of a sudden, tucker was next to me by my side.

Jack: Even in dreams, he’s a nuisance.

Ashley: Yeah, he was, uh, he was trying to tell me what you were saying. You know, he was like explaining your words and translating to me. I– I don’t know.

Jack: Well, I hope you put dream tucker in his place.

Ashley: No, I didn’t because I mean, everything he was saying was making sense to me.

Jack: Okay, I don’t like the sound of that. The logical interpretation of that dream is that for some reason, tucker, of all people, would understand the situation, any situation better than you.

Ashley: That’s the whole thing, jack. In this dream, I wasn’t myself. It was like somebody I didn’t even know.

Tucker: I’m sorry, abby. I– I really have no idea what you’re talking about.

Abby: We both know that’s a lie.

Tucker: It’s been pretty clear now for a while that things are over between your mother and me.

Abby: Clear to whom? I mean, it’s clear to me that you’re messing with her head. And that’s disgusting. My mom has honestly loved you. Not just once, but twice. She defended you. My mom saw something in you that, let’s be honest, no one else has ever seen. And what, instead of realizing how lucky you were to have her, you kept pushing her over and over and over again until she lost part of herself. What, was that to make you feel more important, more powerful? And when she finally realized there was nothing to see in you, and she got the courage to leave, you started playing these games to what, punish her? Because you realized you didn’t deserve her?

Tucker: Um… would you like to sit down?

Abby: No, I don’T.

Tucker: So, what exactly has ashley told you?

Abby: No, don’t do this. You’re not gonna put this off on me or on her. I want you to come clean for once in your life. What did you do?

Tucker: Abby… if you don’t tell me what it is that I allegedly did, I can’t answer that question.

Abby: Just stop playing this innocent, clueless guy! You have never been either of those things.

Tucker: Okay. I’ll tell you what I know. Your mother has been acting a little… strange since she returned from her latest trip to paris. And at first, I thought maybe she was the one playing games, uh, or devising some revenge scheme to get back at me.

Abby: Oh, that she’s the vengeful one now, right? Is that you projecting, tucker? Do you feel guilty? Did you do something that my mom would wanna punish you for?

Tucker: She has admitted that my version of what happened between us in paris is the correct one. But who knows? There’s a possibility that, um, she’s just pretending to be contrite to set me up for something.

Abby: Set you up for what?

Tucker: I don’t know. And to be honest, abby, I’m starting not to care. I’ve moved on.

Firefighter: We’re doing what we can to subdue the fire. But the house went up fast.

Victoria: No. No. Nothing? I mean, you can’t do anything? My whole life is in that house. Everything that my kids know and love is in that house.

Firefighter: All we can do now is keep it from spreading into the woods.

Victoria: No! Dad!

Victor: Sweetheart.

[ Victoria sobbing ]

Firefighter: It’s not safe for you to be here. I have to ask you to leave.

Victor: We understand. Thank you.

Victoria: No, this can’t be happening.

[ Sobbing, sniffling ]

Nikki: Thank god you and victoria were here. And johnny and katie are at boarding school. She would’ve let you both burn with no remorse. It’ll never be enough for her until we’re all–

[ Phone ringing ] Victor, what’s happening?

Victor: The house is burning down.

Nikki: No. Oh, no. No. God…

Victor: Nothing could be saved, okay? So victoria and i are on the way home.

Nikki: How is she?

Victor: Devastated.

[ Victoria sobbing, sniffling ] Before my doctor and I chose breztri

Nikki: It is too much. First, seth, and now this. I can’t handle it. I can’t handle it.

[ Nikki sobbing ]

Claire: Nikki, tell me how to help you.

Nikki: Talk to me about anything other than your aunt. Just start and don’t stop.

Claire: Yeah. Yes. Um, I’m thinking, um–

Nikki: Tell me something funny. Tell me something outrageous or– or– or ridiculous. Just– just something to distract me, please.

Claire: Um, at the hospital, there’s this little girl, nadia, and– and she– did you ever see her? She would come to my room for story time.

Nikki: Uh, uh, nadia, yeah. Go ahead.

Claire: Well, she’s so smart and she loved the book that victoria brought me about greek mythology. Athena is her favorite– favorite goddess. And– and she’s mine too. But you– you probably know all this.

Nikki: It doesn’t matter. Keep going.

Claire: Okay. Um, athena is zeus’s favorite daughter. And one day, nadia told me that she wanted to change her name to athena so that she could be strong and brave and everyone’s favorite.

Nikki: Smart girl.

Claire: Yeah. And when she said that, I, uh, I cried a little bit, not in a sad way, but in a way that felt like she had explained something in my heart that I didn’t– I didn’t know was there. I realized that my whole life, I– I just wanted to be someone’s favorite.

Nikki: Oh, claire. Obviously, you touched her heart too. And that is an incredible gift to be able to speak to a child in a way that they feel heard and then they wanna listen. You know, when you’re completely recovered and starting to think about what you wanna do in the world, you might wanna consider something that would allow you to work with children.

Claire: Well… I’d never thought of that. Growing up, I didn’t have any plans. My future didn’t belong to me. But yeah, I need a career or a hobby, a– a way to fill my day with something that matters. And I– I would love to work with children. Seeing something so sweet and innocent in their eyes.

Nikki: They still see the magic in the world.

Claire: Yeah. And I wanna see the magic too. I don’t wanna be so jaded and– and– and disappointed in the world all the time. Maybe working with kids could give me that and then I could give something back too.

Nikki: You definitely could, claire.

Claire: Oh, but I don’t have any training and I have a record. Who’s gonna let me near their child knowing that?

Nikki: Now, don’t sell yourself short. You have plenty to offer any employer. You’re a fast learner. You can juggle a lot of things at once, and your attention to detail is amazing. And you have the best references you could. Your family who will vouch for you and tell anybody who asks how very special you are.

Claire: Thank you, nikki. That means a lot.

[ Claire sniffling ]

Nikki: Don’t worry. We’ll find a way to make that happen.

Claire: Nothing can happen until my aunt is locked away again forever. Then, my new life can really begin.

Abby: Please god, tell me that this suitcase means you’re leaving genoa city for good.

Tucker: No, I’m just going to paris for a few days. Part business, part pleasure.

Abby: Well, it would be a pleasure for me and everyone else in this town if you just made that business trip permanent. Because let me tell you, tucker, we are so over you. All of your lies and the deceit. And this constant manipulation with my mother, I don’t think you realize the effect that it has on your son, on your grandson. So please, just pack that bag and be gone for good.

Tucker: Abby, I have stayed away from devon completely at his request.

Abby: No, it’s not enough. It’s not enough because you being in town is this constant reminder of what a disappointment of a father that you are. So please, if you have any sort of ounce of decency somewhere in you, go to london, go to paris, go anywhere but here.

Tucker: I’m curious, uh, what has prompted this outrage all of a sudden tonight? Has ashley accused me of something else? Has she done something else? Something happened?

Abby: Oh, something happened, all right. She tried to convince devon to forgive you.

Jack: It was a dream. Your subconscious churning up anxiety and fear, not reality.

Ashley: What it means is that tucker’s in my head.

Jack: Look, the last time we talked about tucker, you seemed awfully confident that you were past him, that that connection was over. I know it’s difficult to just wipe someone from your mind, but– and I know it’s especially difficult when he is present and you’re dealing with him all the time. If that man would just leave town for good, we’d be better off.

Ashley: It doesn’t even matter, jack.

Jack: It would be better than this.

Ashley: It’s not gonna happen. In spite of everybody that’s turned against him, he’s not leaving town.

Jack: Then we have to find a way to get him out of your system, to break the connection. Look, as much as I hate to say this, are you sure you want him out of your life?

Ashley: Don’t get angry with me, okay? I’m not sure. I know. I mean, there’s times when I feel like I’m sure and that I’ve moved on and then this weird shift comes over me and I don’t know, I just see tucker in a different way.

Jack: Okay. Different how?

Ashley: Like maybe I should forgive him. Like maybe I shouldn’t walk away. I could try again and give it another chance.

Bladder leak

underwear has one job.

Jack: I hate the hold this man still has on you. It’s pure manipulation, ego on his part. Just like him demanding that you cut your family off completely. He doesn’t deserve a second chance. Or your forgiveness, for that matter. What– what can I do? How can I help you break the cycle?

Ashley: You spend a lot of time looking out for me, don’t you?

Jack: No.

Ashley: I told you before, but I just– I feel like I need to deal with this one on my own.

Jack: Going it alone hasn’t exactly done the trick.

[ Ashley laughs ]

Ashley: You’re not wrong about that. Gosh. You know, I just, I don’t– I don’t know what’s going on with me, jack. I really don’T. One minute, I feel like I have completely detached from all this chaos and I know in my heart that tucker’s the worst thing in the world for me.

Jack: I’m not surprised by that. You’ve been under a lot of stress lately. You haven’t been able to regain your footing since paris. But you will. And until then, don’t be so hard on yourself. Let traci and i be there for you. You’re gonna get past this.

Ashley: I love that you believe that.

Jack: I do believe that. And you need to believe that too. Tucker be damned.

Ashley: Yeah.

Jack: Didn’t traci say you have a psychologist friend in paris who you call sometimes to get good advice from?

Aley: Yeah, I was thinking about that.

Jack: Well, it’s morning in paris right now. You could give him a call.

Ashley: That’s a good idea. And you don’t have to stay here with me. Go back to bed.

Jack: Don’t worry about me. You can’t get rid of me that easily. I have another plan.

Tucker: Ashley went to devon on my behalf?

Abby: She started by telling us that she had misinterpreted the fight that you had in paris and that she didn’t wanna do more damage to your father-son relationship.

Tucker: Really? She said those exact words?

Abby: Well, like she could do more damage than you’ve done yourself.

Tucker: And how did devon react to that?

Abby: I don’t know. Devon cares about her. But you, you are the one that ruined that relationship. So, he is not just gonna forgive you overnight.

Tucker: Sorry, I still don’t understand what you’re doing here. All worked up if nothing has changed.

Abby: Because if my mom is trying to get devon to forgive you, then she must be considering forgiving you herself. And please, if you were being honest before, if you weren’t lying and you really have moved on, then just stay away from all of us. From devon, from dominic, and my mother.

Tucker: And you, uh, you represent all of them? You speak for all of them? This is your call? A second ago you said that I shouldn’t count on devon forgiving movernight, which means that you think there’s a possibility he might forgive me in the future. Is that why you’re here?

Abby: Maybe devon will forgive you. I don’t know. I mean, I– I have encouraged him in the past to forgive you because I thought devon deserves a father. Our son deserves a grandfather. But all you do is hurt people. And if whatever’s going on with my mom, if it’s sincere, if this softening is a real thing, please don’t take advantage of it. ‘Cause I promise you, there will be hell to pay. And if my mom is planning some sort of revenge play, I support her 100%. I hope she crushes you like a bug. And if you try to pull some sleazy move on my family, mark my words, you will regret it.

Ashley: Is this the right thing? I’m scared. What? Dammit! What’s she done now? Ah, get out of my head. Can’t let this happen. Not again.

Claire: I shouldn’t have mentioned my aunt. I’m sorry. That’s not what you need right now.

Nikki: No. And it’s all right. The moment passed and jordan will be dealt with soon enough and we can all put our lives back together again.

Claire: I only ever saw photos of my mom’s house. Now, she’s lost everything.

Nikki: No, she hasn’t lost everything. She still has her most precious, irreplaceable treasures. You and all of her family. And she can buy new things and we can all recover from what jordan has put us through because we have each other. That’s how we newmans are. We protect each other no matter what.

Claire: Family.

Nikki: Yes, your family. And soon, this will all be behind you and you can put your skills to use again.

Claire: You’re really good at that. Making me feel like I have something to offer the world. But I think it’s gonna be a while before I have any kind of career.

Nikki: Well, I disagree. You’ve already made great progress.

Claire: The doctors helping me through this have been amazing. But even more than that, I feel… stronger because of the support of my new family. It has been hard to believe how kind and forgiving and generous you have all been with me. The fact that you could find a way to welcome me into your home and into your family after everything.

Nikki: Well, your aunt made that quite a challenge. But you are my granddaughter and that’s what matters the most.

Claire: Can I get you some more tea?

Nikki: Yes, please. And claire, thanks for chatting with me. It was just what I needed. I’m jonathan lawson,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Nikki: Oh, baby. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. Oh, but thank god nobody was in the house.

Victoria: I know, I know. But mom, it’s was my home, my kid’s home. Our pictures, our keepsakes, everything is just gone.

Nikki: Things. Just things. I– I know it hurts now, but thank god everybody is safe.

Claire: Mom. Oh, I’m so sorry.

Victor: Well, we all know who’s responsible. That’s one more terrible crime.

Nikki: That woman is despicable. I wanna tear her limb from limb! After everything she has done to me and my family, she deserves to rot in hell!

Claire: I know my aunt jordan. She’s feeling alone and– and desperate. That’s why this happened.

Victor: Why do you say that?

Claire: She usually takes her time. She plans her moves very carefully. She’s far more calculated than this. This is her lashing out wildly. At this point, she’s got nothing left to lose.

Nikki: That’s not good.

Claire: It does mean that she could be more dangerous than before. But it also means she could be getting sloppy.

Jack: Look what I found. The perfect late-night snack. Heard you talking earlier. Did you call your friend in paris?

Ashley: Yeah, I got his voicemail. I left him my message. I’m sure I will hear back from him soon. Very good suggestion. Thank you.

Jack: Well, sure. If it gives you a little peace, I’m happy.

Ashley: You don’t have to wait up with me though.

Jack: Don’t worry about me. You and I can sit and eat pie and talk, or we can just eat pie.

Ashley: Actually, I think I’m gonna go for a walk and clear my head.

Jack: A wa– outsi– it’s freezing out there.

Ashley: It’s brisk and the air is fresh. And it’s exactly what I need to clear my head. Okay, but don’t you eat my pie. All right? I will be back for it.

Jack: Okay. You sure?

Ashley: I’m fine. I’ll see you later.

Jack: Be careful.

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Diane: Hey, honey. What are you doing up?

Jack: Oh, I heard ashley pacing then I heard her come downstairs. She’s in knots again about tucker. And no matter what I say, I can’t seem to help her.

Diane: Jack, I– I think it’s time to give your sister some space. She’s battling her demons, but that is something she has to do on her own.

Devon: Hey, pretty lady.

Abby: Hey.

Devon: What’s going on? I can tell by your text something’s up.

Abby: I just had it out with tucker.

Devon: What? What happened?

Abby: I needed him to know that my mom’s new attitude towards him was not gonna open any doors. And he couldn’t just say that he would stay away from her.

Devon: Hey, why would you even waste your time talking to him? He’s too self-centered to give a damn about anybody else. He is always gonna do what he wants to do. You know that.

Abby: No, I know that. But I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. The man is so utterly frustrating. Ooh, and it just felt so good to let him have it. I wanted to make sure that he really heard me.

Devon: What did you say to him?

Abby: Well, I didn’t just defend my mom. I told them that if he hurt anyone in my family, that he was gonna have to deal with me. And he was packing for some business trip. I told him he better make it permanent because no one wants him here. He needs to stay away from my family forever.

Devon: Wow. Well, I appreciate you looking out for all of us like that, but you know, you don’t have to protect me from tucker.

Abby: Devon, I know I don’T. But he needs to know that his intrusion in our family is not gonna be tolerated. And, of course, I’m sure he twisted something that I said and– and took it as encouragement.

Devon: Why would he take it as encouragement?

Abby: Because I told him that my mom– my mom talked to you about possibly forgiving him. He got this spark in his eye. It was almost like he thought maybe he could reconcile with you and my mom. I told him that paris was just one small thing in a long line of unforgivable things. And that my mom’s request, it’s not gonna do anything. But he just seems so hopeful. Like he thought you might give him another chance.

Devon: Yeah. I’m sure he was hopeful because I usually do give him a second chance.

Abby: Please be finished with that. Don’t ever make that mistake again. Imagine if you could get ahead of your ibs-c

Devon: Yeah. I’m definitely done doing the same things over and over again and hoping for a different outcome. I’ve been down that road way too many times with tucker, and I have no interest in getting burned again.

Abby: Well, thank you for saying that. It calms me down a little bit.

Devon: He lies too much and I don’t want that energy around our family either. But it’s my turn to tell you that you need to stay clear of him.

Abby: I want nothing more than to be done with tucker mccall. But my mom has this weird connection with him and that connection is part of what keeps him tied to our family.

Devon: I know. What do you think is really going on with your mom?

Abby: I don’t know what’s going on with my mom these days. I don’t like it. Just when I thought we were over and done with tucker mccall, why is my mom suddenly drawing him back in?

Jack: Intellectually, I understand why ashley might feel she has to work this out on her own. But do you remember the last time she fell in love with him before the wedding? Denying she had any involvement with him and then suddenly totally embracing it. And nothing I could say could talk reason into her.

Diane: Of course, I remember. But a lot of that had to do with her wanting to get rid of me.

Jack: And despite all the declarations and warnings that this marriage was only going to end badly, she married him anyway. That marriage was an unmitigated disaster. And here we go again.

Diane: Well, you don’t know that for sure.

Jack: I– I hate that we’re even talking about this despicable man. How can he possibly still have that kind of a hold on my sister?

Diane: Jack, I know that you’re concerned about her, but you have got to stop worrying. I mean, you have done everything you could to help her. I mean, I even tried for what it’s worth. But now you just– you just have to let it go and– and let her make her own decisions.

Jack: Yeah, you’re probably right. It’d be a whole lot easier if she would actually make a decision. I don’t know what’s going on with her right now. One moment, she’s confused and torn, and the next, she’s absolutely fine and full control of herself. What are we supposed to do with that?

Diane: Well, I suspect your sister is just working through some things. Give it time. When she holds a grudge, she holds it tight. And I think that very soon, tucker will start to feel the power of that grip.

[ Tucker sighs ]

Tucker: Please–

Ashley: It’s the truth.

Tucker: Please stop. You can just–

Ashley: What?

Tucker: Could you please cut this crap out?

Ashley: What crap?

Tucker: The animosity you have shown me lately, it doesn’t just vanish. You’re doing one of two things. You’re either brainwashing yourself, like I said, or you’re setting me up for something. Either way, this conversation is over. Get the hell outta my room.

Ashley: Hopefully I’ll be able to convince you someday.

Tucker: Convince me of what? And what the hell difference does it make? What is it you’re after, please?

Ashley: I think you know.

Tucker: [ Laughs ] I have no idea. I’m telling you, I have no idea what this new bizarre game you’re playing is.

Ashley: I’m not playing a game.

[ Tucker sighs ]

Tucker: Oh, ashley. Ashley. Ashley. What is going on with you now?

Nikki: Now is the time for us to turn the heat up on that monster. Flush her out and turn her sick game to our advantage. We should go to the media and let them know about her heinous attack on our family and not hold back.

Victoria: We can’t publicly accuse her of being an arsonist without any proof.

Victor: You’re right, sweetheart. If we went to the press now, that would only entice her into more violent actions against our family. I mean, I knew this woman would react, but I had no idea to this degree.

Nikki: She is pure evil!

Victor: You know, I’m gonna convince her to meet with me.

Nikki: What if you do? I mean, she’s so desperate. She’ll try anything.

Victor: She’s not gonna get the upper hand with me.

Diane: You’ve been an incredibly supportive big brother, but now it’s time to let ashley work this out on her own.

Jack: I hear your point. You’re probably right.

Diane: But you don’t wanna listen.

Jack: I never wanna listen.

[ Diane laughs ] But this time I will.

Diane: Good. I’ll take it.

Jack: I’ve noticed, you know.

Diane: Hmm.

Jack: How supportive you’ve been, how far you and ashley have come.

Diane: Well, let’s not make too much of it.

Jack: No, not too much. Just enough. After everything you’ve been through, after everything she puts you through, you’ve somehow managed to rise above and take your place in this family.

Diane: Because of you. I adore you and you deserve a peaceful household. So, I will happily do my part.

Jack: I just hope this mess with tucker doesn’t throw a wrench in our peace.

Diane: Yeah, we can hope. You know, you’ve already spread yourself so thin lately. I– jack, I– I love how much you look after the people that you care about. It’s the last thing I would ever wanna change about you. But I would also love for things to get a bit better for everyone.

[ Phone rings ]

Jack: Nikki. Hey, nikki. Are you okay?

Nikki: I’m sorry for calling so late, jack. I’m having a rough time.

Jack: Uh, where are you?

Nikki: I’m at home.

Jack: Okay, I’ll– I’ll be there in half an hour. All right?

[ Diane sighs ]

Diane: Nikki needs you.

Jack: Yeah.

Diane: And before you tell me not to, yes, I’ll be waiting up. So don’t argue.

Jack: I love you.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Mom, hi.

Ashley: Hi.

Abby: What are you doing here so late?

Ashley: I was at the lab. I got so involved in everything, I didn’t realize it was so late and I’m starving. So, I came by to get a quick bite. You wanna join me?

Abby: No, actually we have to get home to dominic.

Devon: Yeah. Rain check though?

Ashley: Sure.

Abby: Hey, why don’t you follow us home? Yeah. We can pick something up and then if we’re lucky, dominic will be awake and he can join us.

Ashley: Yeah. No, thank you. I’m just gonna eat right here. Thanks.

Abby: Are you really here for the food?

Ashley: Why would you ask me that?

Abby: Well, there’s lots of places to eat, but here, there’s tucker and food.

Ashley: Honestly, I am not here for tucker. Okay. Don’t worry about me so much. I’m fine.

Abby: Are you sure?

Ashley: I’m positive.

Abby: Okay. Well, um, don’t stay out too late.

Devon: Have a good night.

Ashley: Thank you.

Abby: Good night. Bye.

Steffy: I came here to work. I don’t need you to lecture me marriage.

Hope: Look, I know you’re dealing with a lot.

Steffy: And it seems like you’re piling more on me.

Hope: I understand. It’s painful enough as it is already. It’s just, I– I see what finn is going through and I’m just urging you, steffy, to please don’t allow sheila’s death to come between you and finn.

Liam: Steffy needed you, you know. And you walked out on her.

Finn: I don’t owe you an explanation, liam.

Liam: Okay, you got one for steffy then? ‘Cause she has no idea what’s going on with you. In fact, nobody does. Lamenting sheila like she’s this significant part of your life? Like, what are you– you know what? It’s fine. It’s fine. Steffy’s gonna be fine because I’ll be there. I mean, she needs someone she can count on, finn. And if it’s not you, it’s me.

Luna: Oh, my god. What happened? What– what am I doing here?

Zende: That’s what I asked myself when you surprised me here last night.

Luna: I thought that I was with rj, zende. I saw his face. How could I make that up?

Zende: I can’t explain it, but… you do know that what happened between us, what we shared, it was consensual, right? I would never–

Luna: I know that. But it doesn’t change how I feel. The shock and– and the horror. I love rj so much and we have something so special. Or we did. But now? What have I done?

Poppy: So, this is where you’ve been hiding?

Luna: I’m working, mom. I’m busy.

Poppy: Too busy to answer my texts? I just wanna know that you’re okay, sweetheart.

Luna: I’m not. Not even close. Your mints turned my entire life upside down.

Poppy: Luna, I am so sorry.

Luna: Your apologies won’t fix anything, mom. I slept with zende thinking that he was rj. And now this secret is… it’s tearing me apart. I love rj. I mean, doesn’t he deserve to know the truth?

[ Knock on door ]

Rj: Hey, zende.

Zende: Bad time?

Rj: No, no, it’s fine. I just took a shower from a beach swim. It’s okay, come in. So, what’s up?

Zende: I thought we should talk.

Rj: About what? About work?

Zende: No, we can talk shop at the office. I came to see you here in private.

Rj: You want to talk to me in private? Why do you need to talk to me in private?

Zende: There are some things you need to hear.

Rj: What do I need to hear, zende?

Zende: I wanna make sure you understand how lucky you are to be dating luna.

Poppy: You can’t tell rj that you slept with zende.

Luna: Okay, so what am I supposed to do? What, I’m supposed to keep this secret locked up forever?

Poppy: Yes.

Luna: I don’t think I can do that. I don’t think I can keep what happened with zende from rj.

Finn: Do I have to remind you that it’s my wife that you are talking about?

Liam: No, I think I have to remind you it’s your wife I’m talking about. It’s like you’ve forgotten how lucky you are just to have her in your life.

Finn: I haven’t forgotten. I’ll never forget how blessed I am to have steffy in my life. And I don’t blame her for what happened. It’s complicated. But, frankly, it’s none of your damn business. You don’t know what I’m going through. Yes, we are all relieved that sheila is gone. But my birth mother is dead.

Steffy: Don’t act like you know more about this than I do. It happened to me.

Hope: I– all I’m trying to say is that I think it might be affecting finn a little more than maybe even you realize.

Steffy: You are overstepping right now.

Hope: Fine, fine, all right. Just trying to help, okay? I– I– I get that you might not understand what finn is going through. I just hope that you will try to respect it.

Steffy: I know finn is tormented by this. So am I. More than you could possibly imagine. Hey… it’s me! Your dry skin!

Rj: Yeah, you don’t have to tell me how amazing my girlfriend is. I– I know. She’s my girlfriend.

Zende: She’s a lot more than that, rj. She is smart and beautiful. Ambitious. Granddad thinks there’s a real future for her at forrester. And so do I. I know you like hanging out with her, spending time. Luna is special. I’m not sure you’re fully aware of that.

Rj: I’m completely aware of it. What I’m not sure is that you fully understand that we’re not just hanging out and having fun, zende. We’re in a committed relationship. And I– I don’t understand what it is that you’re saying or that you’re not saying, but luna and I are happy, okay? And you’re never going to be with her.

Poppy: Telling the truth can devastate rj.

Lun yeah,ut it’ the right thing do.

Poppy: Who benefits?No one if you’re questioning your relationship with rj.

Luna: No, I’m not. I love him.

Poppy: Then why hurt him by telling him something that you can’t change? For something that didn’t mean anything to you? Spare yourself this pain.

Luna: Mom, I’m not keeping this a secret to protect myself, mom. I mean, every single time I’m with rj, so good to me and I don’t wanna undermine rj and zende’s relationship. I mean, they’re– they’re like the next generation of forresters.

Finn: Steffy and I don’t need you or anyone telling us how to cope with this.

Liam: You’re not coping. You could cope at home. You’re bailing.

Finn: I told you, it is complicated.

Liam: Okay, then let me simplify it for you. Steffy shouldn’t be fighting through this all on her own.

Finn: And I shouldn’t be getting a warning from you. None of this is fair. My birth mother was stabbed to death in my home by my wife. I love steffy. I know sheila broke in, and steffy was defending herself, and I want to be there for her, but yes, I am struggling right now and I don’t need you to be putting me on blast for it.

Liam: Okay, I tried. Guess I can’t get through. One for the road. Don’t neglect steffy. Don’t take your marriage to her for granted like I did.

Finn: Because you’re waiting in the wings. Do you think that you’re being honorable? Giving me fair warning? Coming in here, interfering, acting like you know what steffy needs? What we need is privacy and some time to work this out. And we will. You got that, liam? Nothing and no one will come between steffy and me.

Hope: Steffy, I’m sorry. I am not trying to be insensitive. You acted out of self-defense. Everybody knows that, even finn.

Steffy: I still took a life. That’s the truth. Even though it was self-defense, even though I was trying to protect myself, it doesn’t change the fact that I watched a life leave someone’s body. That’s on me. I did that. And every time I close my eyes, that is all I see. Me killing her.

Is it menopause

or something else?

Hope: Steffy, I… I apologize. This wasn’t the time or place to talk about this. I was really not trying to upset you.

Steffy: Well, I appreciate your concern about finn and my marriage, but I don’t want to talk about this anymore.

Hope: I understand that I don’t know how you’re feeling, and how this is gonna impact the both of you. All I know is that I talked to finn and saw a man wrestling with himself. He’s confused. He’s hurting. And I just was trying to give you the heads up and let you know.

Steffy: We are grappling with a very difficult situation. It’s emotional. It is painful. But it’s not insurmountable. We have gotten through many storms together. We’re gonna get through this one. We’ll be stronger. I’m not gonna let this disrupt my life with finn.

Rj: Have you said what you need to say? Because I have to go to the office and do some work and say hi to my girlfriend. Okay?

Zende: I’d feel the same way if I were you.

Rj: Listen to me. I don’t want to argue with you. We used to be close, and we still can be. But you need to lay off and respect my relationship with luna.

Luna: The forresters are a wonderful family. And they all love each other. They do, but when there’s tension between them, I mean, it affects everything.

Poppy: That’s true of every family.

Luna: Yeah, well, the nozawas aren’t exactly running an international fashion house.

Poppy: You don’t wanna mess things up.

Luna: I already have.

Poppy: But telling rj the truth can make things so much worse.

Luna: I know. I know. You don’t want me to mess up my future with rj. And you don’t want me to mess up my job at forrester, but… that’s not why I’m not telling him the truth. I mean, I’m fully willing to face the consequences of my actions.

Poppy: You didn’t know what you were doing.

Luna: I didn’t have a choice then, but I do now. But, I don’t know, as… as much as I want to tell rj the truth, I don’t want to ruin his whole life and his family. I don’t want to be the reason why zende and rj can’t work together. And I won’t mess up eric’s collection. I mean, that’s just– that’s way too important. To eric, to his sons and his grandsons. And rj has worked so hard to get zende on board. And I know that they’re trying to rebuild their connection, and I just– I can’t disrupt that.

Poppy: So, we agree. You’ll keep this secret?

Luna: You make it sound so simple. But this is hell, mom. I mean, I’m terrified that this is gonna ruin every good thing in my life, ’cause that’s what secrets do.

Poppy: No, sweetheart.

Luna: Like yours did to me. I don’t know, it felt like everything was finally coming together. And then one night, a decision that I didn’t even have any control over– and now everything is different. And I don’t know if it’ll ever be the same again.

[ Knock on door ]

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: Finn.

Finn: I had to see you, steff. I just– I miss you so much. My doctorrecommends

Poppy: Honey, look at me. It’s gonna be all right.

Luna: I don’t know, mom.

Poppy: Well, I do. Because I know you. I know your heart. I know you’re a good person. Okay, you want to do the right thing.

Luna: But am I? Like, this doesn’t feel right, keeping this secret and lying to rj.

Poppy: It’s not a lie. You love rj. Hey, that’s true. That hasn’t changed.

Luna: But it has. I slept with zende and that’s always gonna be there, right under the surface.

Poppy: Zende has agreed not to say anything, and neither should you. You made a mistake. It doesn’t have to destroy everything. Okay, I can see you’re still not sure, but honey, you can’t tell rj. Please, tell me you understand that.

[ Door opens ]

Rj: Hey. Hi, you.

Luna: Hey.

Rj: Hello.

Zende: We’re just coming from rj’s place. I just wanted to stop by, let him know how lucky he is to be dating someone as wonderful as you, luna.

Poppy: You’re both lucky to have each other.

Luna: Um, yeah. Yeah, it makes me like a little emotional, actually. You know, thinking about everything that I have to be grateful for. Especially you, rj. And how happy we are together, and… all the things we have to look forward to. I mean, I never want to do anything to hurt you or let you down.

Rj: You never could.

Steffy: I’m really glad you’re here. I know it’s hard to be at the house right now.

Finn: Yeah, look, I don’t want this to keep me away from you and the kids.

Steffy: I know. And I agree.

Finn: I– I know it’s– it’s hard for you to understand and– and accept. And I– I wish I could explain what I’m feeling. I just… I’m struggling right now, um, with sheila’s death. And I don’t blame you, okay? Not at all. It just– it feels like something’s missing. Like a connection’s been cut.

Steffy: Between us?

Finn: No, no, no. Not between us. Just between my birth mother and me.

Steffy: I know you’re struggling. I’m struggling too. I killed someone, finn. I took someone’s life. And… what have I done? All I see is just the paramedics there trying to save her. And I was just– I was in shock. I was in shock. I was unable to breathe. And no matter what sheila’s done to us, it still doesn’t change the fact that I– I killed someone. I killed someone. And I’m really trying to come to terms with that, but I just can’t get this memory– I can’t get this memory out of my head. Like, it haunts me.

Finn: Just– we can’t let this tear us apart.

Steffy: No. No. No, we can’t let it tear us apart. We can’T. But will you ever be able to look at me the same way? I– I don’t even know if I can look at myself the same. I am so sorry. I’m so, so sorry. So sorry.

Recap written by Suzanne

In Finn’s office, Li is aghast that Finn is upset that his birth mother died and that his wife killed her. She tries to get him to see reason about the situation and who Sheila really was. She’s worried that he’s risking his marriage. They discuss his feelings. He just wishes that Steffy hadn’t been the one to kill Sheila. Li isn’t happy to hear that he slept in his office.

At home, Steffy thanks Liam for visiting her, to listen to her, and taking care of Kelly. She feels guilty for killing Sheila. Liam is annoyed that Finn isn’t supporting her. Steffy protests that Finn is dealing with a lot, but Liam doesn’t buy that excuse. Steffy knows that Finn loves her and the kids. He reminds her that she and the kids can always count on him.

Deacon sits at home, looking at a glass of booze. Hope drops by to see how he’s doing, so he offers her a drink and then takes one himself. He talks about his visit to see Sheila in the morgue. Hope is very sympathetic. Deacon knows that Hope and her kids are the only people he has left in the world now. He apologizes for making her feel like he chose Sheila over them. She points out that Finn is also mourning Sheila. Deacon is surprised about that.

Liam also visits Finn in his office. Finn isn’t happy to see him and tries to get him to leave. Liam chews him out for leaving Steffy alone when she’s having a tough time. He warns Finn that if Finn isn’t there for Steffy, he will be.  Finn looks amused.

Hope is surprised to see Steffy at the office. Steffy just needed to leave the house. Hope expresses her sympathy, but she does it in an inept way that makes Steffy feel like she’s being judged. Hope doesn’t think she could have killed anyone, but she’s not blaming Steffy. What’s more, she tells Steffy that she needs to be patient and sympathetic with Finn because he’s having a hard time. She begs Steffy not to let Sheila’s death ruin her marriage.

Abby: Hey. Why was part of me hoping you wouldn’t show up?

Phyllis: Stop, I’m paying you handsomely for this.

Abby: You are, and I hope it’s worth it.

Phyllis: Well, if tonight goes as planned, this could be the beginning of something really amazing.

Abby: You didn’t exactly share earlier. What is this all about?

Phyllis: I’m having dinner with danny romalotti. He’s making his special pasta with his special sauce, so.

Abby: So, he’s cooking for you here and not at his place or your place? Yeah, I get it. He doesn’t want to be alone with you. He wants to be in public with witnesses.

Phyllis: That’s ridiculous.

[ Phyllis sighs ] Hey, um, what’s going on with them?

Abby: Well, they paid.

Phyllis: But can we shoo them out or something?

Abby: No, look at them. They’re in love.

Phyllis: Well, I think they need to take it somewhere else.

Abby: No, phyllis, don’t you dare.

Phyllis: I was gonna buy a drink for them somewhere else.

Abby: Please don’t make me change my mind about this.

Danny: Hey, are you sure about this? You really didn’t have to come along.

Christine: Oh, I think I did. I don’t trust phyllis as far as I can throw her.

Danny: But you trust me, don’t you?

Christine: I do. But with phyllis in the mix, anything can happen, and it’s never good.

Danny: I understand. But this is a delicate conversation. I mean, I really do feel that I should talk to her alone.

Christine: It’s just the two of you. Phyllis is gonna twist everything you say around. I’m gonna be back up, like an audience. She can’t plant a kiss on you and claim you initiated it.

Danny: You really have thought this out, haven’t you?

Christine: Oh, danny, this has happened so many times. I am not about to let it happen again.

Danny: You’re right. And tonight it ends, right? But just give me a head start, all right? Let me see if I can defuse this thing before it blows up.

Summer: Hey. You in the mood for company, or have you turned into one of those workaholic types?

Chance: You know what? I was just thinking about you.

Summer: Were you?

Chance: Yeah.

Summer: Good thoughts?

Victoria: Claire?

Claire: I would’ve been in some of these if jordan hadn’t ruined my life.

Nikki: Officer padilla, the officer outside said to see you. I’m nikki newman. I need you to tell me more about what happened. I need to know.

Padilla: Mr. Morgan left with a woman. Then patrons heard tires screeching and the impact.

Victor: Anything else?

Padilla: Woman comes back, says the subject jumped into the path of the car, saying, “tell nikki newman I’m sorry.”

Nikki: Oh, my god. Ah! So I didn’t think I needed swiffer,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Nikki: This happened because of me.

Victor: No, sweetheart. It didn’t happen because of you. It happened because of this maniac. She’s out for revenge. Barkeep, can I have a word with you? How often had you seen the couple that we were just talking about now in here?

Barkeep: Who, isabel?

Victor: Yeah.

Barkeep: Yeah, a couple times.

Victor: What did she look like?

Barkeep: Red hair, glasses, 60-ish.

Victor: Ah, thank you. Officer, please. Would you kindly take the glass that the woman drank out of and lift the dna and fingerprints off it, okay? Thank you. I’ll tell you one thing. If he stepped in front of that car, he didn’t do it of his own volition.

[ Victor sighs ]

Victoria: You know, claire, there’ll be new pictures and new memories.

Claire: What if…

Victoria: What if, what?

Claire: What if, someday I’m in the pictures, but I don’t really fit in.

Victoria: Why would you say that?

Claire: Adam. He’s in the pictures, but like me, he came into this family as an adult. He’s still not exactly in everyone’s hearts.

Victoria: Well, adam’s story is very different from yours.

Claire: Maybe I should talk to him. He knows what it’s like trying to adapt to the newman world after not being raised in it.

Victoria: How about instead of asking adam for advice, you just be yourself? Let us love you.

Claire: I’m not sure it’s gonna be that easy for everyone. If I were nikki, I’d never forgive me.

Victoria: Well, then I guess that’s something we’re just gonna have to work on. Because all I see right now is my bright and beautiful daughter standing in front of me. Who’s exactly where she belongs. What are you doing up anyway? I thought you said you were exhausted.

Claire: Turns out, I’m having trouble shutting my brain off.

Victoria: Yeah, well, you have had quite a day.

[ Claire sighs ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Claire: It’s the number that I called earlier. Do you think it’s jordan calling back?

Victoria: You don’t have to answer it.

Jordan: Pick up. Pick up, damn it. Whoever you are.

Summer: What prompted that?

Chance: I haven’t seen you in a while. I missed you.

Summer: I’ve missed you too.

Chance: Well, let’s do something about that. Join me.

Summer: Best offer I’ve had all day.

Chance: Have you eaten yet?

Summer: I haven’t and I’m starving.

Chance: Maybe we should grab a table. You can tell me about all the fashion drama. I can tell you about the chancellor-winters drama.

Summer: I don’t know. All that personal talk, recapping our days. Kind of sounds like something a real couple would do.

Chance: Yeah, kind of does. Unless you’d rather not.

Summer: I have a better idea.

Phyllis: Hey, welcome.

Danny: Hi. Abby, it’s good to see you.

Abby: Yes, you too.

Phyllis: What are you doing here?

Christine: Danny wanted me to come.

Phyllis: Oh. Okay, well, I don’t want you to be here. This is a private dinner. Just the two of us. So, you can go.

Christine: That’s not gonna happen.

Abby: Okay, well, I’m gonna leave you to your evening. Um, try not to destroy anything.

Phyllis: Um, but… I’m sorry, this dinner was just the two of us. It was a private dinner. Um, just to say goodbye before you go off on tour. I mean, god knows when I’m gonna see you again, so…

Christine: Never would be good.

Danny: Look, we– we need to talk.

Phyllis: Yeah, we do. At dinner. We could talk at dinner, for sure. Just us. You promised me. You’re not breaking your promise, are you? Please tell me you’re not.

Christine: As a matter of fact, he is.

We’re all creatures

of habit.

Phyllis: Um, I don’t understand.

Christine: It’s– it’s pretty simple. You and danny aren’t gonna have that romantic dinner you were gonna ambush him with.

Phyllis: Romantic? Um, I’m– I’m sorry. I think there’s a misunderstanding. It was just us having dinner together, you know? Two friends, you know? It was a farewell dinner. So, you can farewell and leave us alone.

Christine: You rented out the restaurant. You expected danny to cook as just friends. That’s not so believable.

Phyllis: Is the idea of having dinner with me so abhorrent to you?

Danny: I see you went to a lot of trouble.

Phyllis: It’s no trouble at all if we actually have dinner.

Danny: I never should’ve agreed to this.

Phyllis: But you did. What did she do? I mean, what did– she start crying? Did you pitch a fit? Did you act like the jealous ex-girlfriend? I mean, honestly, what she’s trying to do here is isolate you and control your life.

Danny: This is my call, all right? I’m sorry. I never meant to hurt you or lead you on, and I’m afraid that’s exactly what I’ve done.

Phyllis: You don’t have to cook. It’s no big deal. We could just scrounge out something in the kitchen.

Christine: What don’t you understand about danny is not having dinner with you?

Phyllis: Are you gonna let her talk for you? Really? Are you really gonna let this jealous, very jealous witch ruin our evening together?

[ Danny sighs ]

Danny: Hey, let me talk to her alone, okay? It’s important.

Summer: Nothing beats room service after a long, hard day in the office. Can I order for you?

Chance: Well, that depends. What do you think I’m in the mood for?

Summer: I’m hoping it’s the same thing I am.

Chance: Yeah. And, ah, that would be…

Summer: French fries.

Chance: French fries? Yeah, that’s exactly what I was gonna say. But you know what? If you don’t like it with mayo, we’re gonna have a big problem.

Summer: Noted. Hey, could I place an order for room service? Yeah, could I get two orders of fries, extra mayo, a hot fudge sundae, and a bottle of your pinot noir? Yeah, that’s fine. Thanks.

Chance: Well-balanced meal.

Summer: Glad you approve. But they did say that the kitchen is a little backed up, so it’s gonna be like 30, 40 minutes. Is that okay with you?

Chance: As long as I’m here with you, I am perfectly fine.

Summer: Good answer.

Chance: Yeah. So… 30 minutes?

Summer: Mm-hmm. Ish.

Chance: Yeah. Is this where you tell me about your day and I tell you about mine?

Summer: We could do that. Or…

Claire: I need to know if it’s jordan. We have to stop her and this could be our only chance.

Victoria: I’m right here, okay? And remember, you’re in control of your future now, not jordan.

Jordan: Finally. To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking? Hello?

Claire: It’s claire.

Jordan: My, my. What a surprise.

Claire: You’re isabel.

[ Jordan chuckling ]

Jordan: Aren’t you the clever one? Nikki must have given you this number. And I know exactly why you’ve called.

Claire: You do?

Jordan: Well, it’s all over the news. The great victor newman must have pulled all kinds of strings to get you released into the loving arms of your mother and father. And you just couldn’t wait to rub it into my face.

Claire: That’s not it.

Jordan: Well, then what, claire? After all the hateful things that you said to me. Calling me a monster, wishing that I was dead. Do you finally realize that you’ve made a mistake? Or, have the newmans turned on you already?

Nikki: I should have been a better friend. Not kept my distance because seth was drinking. If it weren’t for me, he would still be alive.

Victor: Sweetheart, please don’t say that. It has nothing to do with you. It has all to do with that crazy woman, all right? She killed seth. And she killed those prisoners in that prison fire. And now, she’s gonna come after you again.

Nikki: Oh, god, all I want to do is drink until this whole thing is over. Victor, please take me home.

Victor: Yeah, come on. If you have chronic kidney disease

Jordan: Well, don’t say that I didn’t warn you. I forgive you. You were under the influence of the newmans. A viper’s nest, with you settled in their bosom. But, claire, you and I are connected on a different level, from beginning to end. Never do we put asunder. Do you remember how many times I told you that growing up?

Claire: I do.

Jordan: The newmans will not love you. They will hate you, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Claire: You’re wrong. The newmans have been wonderful. They love me. They’ve helped me heal. They’ve given me a real family, a real home.

Jordan: I see. So, you’ve called me to stab me in the heart? Again? After everything I’ve done for you?

Claire: You destroyed me.

Jordan: No. The newmans will destroy you. How can you not see that? You really believe that the newmans would take you into their fold? That you will be princess victoria’s long-lost daughter?

Claire: They’re my family.

Jordan: Don’t you see? That’s what they want you to think. They will grind you into nothing but pain, just like they did your grandmother and my sister, eve. Oh, and then victor. Victor. I know him. He will use you, and then he will throw you out like trash.

Claire: You don’t know them. You’ve never known them. And– and victor has been really kind to me in spite of what you turned me into.

Jordan: My, my, my. How could you be so gullible? How can you think that they would give a damn about some little guttersnipe who tried to kill them?

Claire: I have a message for you from victor.

Jordan: Ah, victor. Oh, so he is using you.

Claire: Victor wants this to end. He wants to meet. He’s ready to accept his guilt in whatever happened to my grandmother. And he will do whatever you want, within reason, to make amends.

Jordan: I can’t imagine what victor newman will do to try to protect that drunk of a wife. On his knees begging for mercy. Is he there now? I’d like to speak with him.

Claire: No, he’s not. I’m with my mother.

Jordan: Mother. So tell me, claire. Are you all settled into victoria’s beautiful, gracious home? Are you drinking hot chocolate? Roasting marshmallows? The perfect picture of a loving family?

Claire: Yes, that’s exactly where we are, and that is exactly what we’re doing.

Jordan: How wonderful for you. I hope you get everything you ever want until they turn you to ashes.

Claire: Do you have an answer for victor?

Jordan: You tell victor, I’ll be in touch. Oh, and claire, give nikki my best.

Victoria: Are you okay?

[ Summer sighs ]

[ Chase chuckles ]

[ Zipper opens ]

Danny: Can you meet me at crimson lights in 15 minutes? I meant everything I said to you.

Christine: Just watch out for this one. She, uh, plays dirty.

Phyllis: That’s not who I am anymore. That’s the old phyllis.

Christine: Come on, there’s only one phyllis. You’ll never change.

Phyllis: Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Danny: Hey, come on.

Christine: Okay, I’ll wait 15 minutes. His sauce is spectacular.

[ Danny sighs ]

Phyllis: Okay. Um, well, I’m glad she’s gone. What a downer she is. Oh. Look. And they’re leaving. Yay, we have the place all to ourselves, so. I have this great bottle of wine. Look. And I’m sure that we can maybe find some nuts and some crackers in the kitchen and have a really nice evening.

Danny: Phyllis, hey. Just– just stop, okay? There’s not gonna be a dinner tonight. Or nuts or a bottle of wine. There’s not gonna be anything– anything between us, okay? Tonight or ever. With moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Danny: I never should’ve agreed to this dinner in the first place.

Phyllis: But you did agree. You agreed. Why’d you agree?

Danny: Because I–

Phyllis: No, because… because there’s a part of you that wanted to have dinner. There’s a part of you that can’t say no to me. Because you know that what we have together–

Danny: Phyllis, just–

Phyllis: Okay, hey, stop. Christine wins.

Danny: Not a competition.

Phyllis: It’s not a competition, I know that. But you are choosing christine.

Danny: Yeah. I am so sorry I gave you the wrong impression.

Phyllis: But you didn’T. See, I think you want this, but you just chickened out.

Danny: No. No, I… I truly know what I want.

Phyllis: Christine.

Danny: And I want to be your friend. Don’t you understand? I want to be able to call you and talk to you about daniel and lucy and have coffee and catch up when I’m in town. And it was never meant to be any more than this, ever. I promise you that. And– and I know that you think you have these feelings for me, but I just think it’s because you don’t have many friends right now. But you can. You can and you will, all right? I just can’t be one of those people right now. Do you understand? Not– not right now.

Phyllis: Okay. Well then, go ahead. You should go. Really, go ahead. I’m fine. I’m fine. Hey, christine’s waiting for you. You got 15 minutes, you know?

Danny: Do you understand what I’m saying to you?

Phyllis: I do understand. I get it. Don’t worry about me. Really, you– you can go. Please don’t worry. I– I– have a good tour. Okay? Have a good life. Please. I get it. I understand.

Abby: Are you okay?

Chance: That is not how I saw my evening play out.

Summer: Better than discussing our work in a restaurant full of people with too many clothes on?

Chance: So much better. Hm. How did I get so lucky?

Summer: You said yes when I invited you up here.

Chance: Ah, it’s a bold move. Loved it.

Summer: I have a confession to make.

Chance: Yeah?

Summer: I have been thinking about you all day. If I didn’t run into you, I was gonna call you and see if you wanted to get a nightcap.

Chance: Ooh. A woman who knows what she wants. I love it.

Summer: Okay, and don’t laugh at this part, okay?

Chance: Okay.

Summer: When I saw you at the bar by yourself, I kind of felt like it was a sign.

Chance: Well, hey, I’m an absolute believer in signs, especially when they’re as beautiful as you.

Chance: Hm. You know what this means, right?

Summer: That you’re gonna share your fries with me?

Chance: No, I– I think we’re one of those real couples that you were talking about.

Summer: But we haven’t even gotten to the part where we discuss our days yet.

Chance: Well, you had a much better idea. Come on. And you know what? I didn’t get around to thanking you for that, by the way.

Victoria: This is incredibly brave of you. Thank you.

Claire: Jordan was– was angry and vicious, which I expected, but there was something else. There was an edge, a desperation.

Victoria: Mom, what happened? Where did you go?

Nikki: We got a call about seth.

Victor: Claire, would you kindly get your grandmother some chamomile tea?

Claire: Of course.

Victor: Thank you.

Victoria: What’s going on?

Victor: Jordan has struck again.

(Music)

Victor: You know, seth died.

Victoria: What? How did that happen?

Victor: Well, apparently, that jordan woman and seth left a bar, walked outside, and he, according to jordan, walked right in the path of a speeding, oncoming R.

Victoria: She pushed him?

Victor: I know she did.

Nikki: She must have figured out that seth was helping me, was trying to protect me.

Victoria: And now she’s gone.

Victor: Yes, but you’re safe, okay?

Victoria: You see? That is exactly what I was afraid of. What if she comes after claire?

Victor: What I’m telling you is that you are safe as long as claire and you stay right here at the ranch.

Victoria: How can that be? Claire spoke with jordan. That makes her a target.

Victor: What did jordan say?

[ Victoria sighing ]

Victoria: She’s intrigued by the proposition.

Victor: Well, that’s good.

Victoria: No, there’s nothing good about it. Claire said that she sounded even more unhinged than usual. What if she comes after my daughter?

Victor: She’s not gonna come after your daughter, nor after you.

Victoria: Dad, I’m sorry, but that’s– that’s just not a promise that you can keep.

Nikki: Jordan is still toying with us. She wants us to think that she has the upper hand.

Victor: But that’s exactly what I want her to believe, all right? Now, my plan is in motion. This will all be over with soon.

Jordan: That ungrateful, spiteful little brat. How– how dare she talk to me like that? I think someone needs a lesson. I think they all do.

[ Jordan chuckles ]

[ Jordan grunts ] Oh, my. Well, the fun doesn’t have to end yet.

[ Christine sighs ]

Danny: Hey.

Christine: Hi. I was almost ready to give up on you.

Danny: I’m so glad you didn’T.

Christine: So, what happened with phyllis after I left, or do I even want to know?

Danny: No, everything was– was quite civilized.

Christine: I find that hard to believe.

Danny: I told her that I want you. And that she and I have no future together, except parents to daniel. And that I’d like to be her friend, but maybe it wasn’t wise right now, if ever.

Christine: Okay, what, wait? And she didn’t make a scene, throw some dishes, try and seduce you?

Danny: No, no, none of the above. No, she was– she was very understanding.

Christine: Wait, what? That’s impossible.

Danny: Look, like I said, she took this whole thing very graciously.

Christine: Why does that worry me more than if she had broken a few things or tried to shove her tongue down your throat?

Danny: Hey, I know this has been an incredible challenge for you.

Christine: It’s been hell.

Danny: I’m sorry. But she really isn’t the same phyllis.

Christine: Danny, that’s what she wants you to believe. So, you’ll let your guard down, then she’ll come right at you again. I– I just don’t want to be a part of this circus any more than you do.

Danny: I think it’s safe to say the circus is behind us, all right? It’s gonna be different this time. Phyllis was different. I saw it in her eyes. There’s this acceptance. I really believe that she’s– she’s ready to accept the truth about you and me.

Christine: I– I hope so.

Phyllis: Hm. You sure you don’t want some of this?

Abby: No, thank you.

Phyllis: All right. Well, more for me. This was a good year. Better than the year I’m having.

Abby: You and christine, that was pretty intense.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. It was intense. Do you see how she is? So possessive. She has no sense of humor. She’s so boring. I don’t get it, abby. I don’t get why he loves her.

Abby: That’s what tonight was supposed to be about. You were gonna convince danny that he wants you.

Phyllis: Yeah. But, uh, he chose christine. She wins again. I mean, not that it’s a competition because she’s not competition for me.

Abby: Maybe it’s time to move on.

Phyllis: I’m moving on, please. I’ve moved on. I will fully move on after I finish this bottle of wine. Why do you care, abby? You don’t even like me.

Abby: I don’t, no, but… I saw how much effort you put into this evening. You were trying to make it special and then it just fell apart.

Phyllis: Yeah. Thanks to christine.

Abby: Maybe you’re lying to yourself.

Phyllis: What? What are you saying?

I have type 2 diabetes, but I manage it well

Christine: Look, you may have been right about me being a little too willing to engage in battle with phyllis over you. I… I said and I did some things that I regret. Things that I know made you uncomfortable and– and unhappy and I just want you to know I’m sorry.

Danny: Hey. You brought me some lovely masala chai tea. It was good.

Christine: How do you do that? How do you just be so kind and forgiving?

Danny: Because I’m inspired. That’s why.

Christine: Listen, I meant what I said before. You’re not some door prize that I’m trying to beat phyllis out of. You’re the man I’m falling back in love with.

Danny: Hey. What do you say we keep phyllis out of this entire conversation, okay? And talk about something else? Can we do that?

Christine: Anything.

Danny: Okay, okay, good, good. Let’s talk about my tour.

Christine: Oh, god. I mean, the fact that you’re leaving when we finally have a chance to reconnect without any interference.

Danny: What does your agenda look like for the next six weeks?

Christine: Why are you asking that?

Danny: Because if you’re free, I would love for you to join me on the first leg of my tour.

Christine: And I wouldn’t be in the way?

Danny: No. No, are you kidding? I would– I would sing to you every night. I would find you out there in the crowd somehow, and it would just be you and me. What do you say? Like old times. Together and inseparable.

Abby: All right, clearly, that’s what this is all about. This is about beating christine. Just admit it.

Phyllis: Trust me, it wasn’T. But now, it is.

Abby: Well, that definitely doesn’t sound like you’re moving on.

Phyllis: You see, christine thinks she’s won because danny ran after her. But I’m gonna make her wish she never had.

Chance: Yes.

Victor: Claire, victoria tells me that you spoke with jordan.

Claire: I did.

Victor: How did she seem?

Claire: Angry. Amped up, definitely rattled.

Victor: Good. I want her unbalanced.

Victoria: Well, what if that makes her even more dangerous?

Victor: Sweetheart, my plan is working, I’m telling you.

[ Phone rings ]

Victoria: Hello, this is victoria newman. Oh, my god, what? I’ll be right there.

Victor: What happened?

Victoria: My house is on fire.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Li: Please, stop talking like this.

Finn: No, mom, look, of course I consider you my real mother. All right, but sheila, she– she gave birth to me.

Li: And she almost killed you and steffy and me, so please just snap out of it. Sheila gave you nothing but pain, finn. Pain and heartache, and now finally she’s gone.

Finn: Because of my wife.

Li: Your wife fought to save herself, finn. Survived a terrible ordeal. Be grateful she’s alive.

Finn: No, um, I mean, I am.

Li: Then, wake up. Get over these feelings you have about sheila carter before you do something foolish to alienate steffy.

Steffy: Liam, you’ve been amazing. Thank you so much for being here and just listening to me and watching kelly for a few days while I figure this out.

Liam: Of course I’m here, where else would I be? There’s nowhere else I wanna be.

Steffy: I just feel so guilty. I mean, god, I killed someone. Who wouldn’t feel guilty?

Liam: Yeah, but you were ambushed. There was literally no alternative.

Steffy: Liam, there was nothing I could’ve done differently.

Liam: Exactly, and everybody knows that.

Steffy: Not everyone.

Liam: Okay, everybody, but finn knows that. Okay, listen, I know he’s, like, having a moment right now, but you’re the one who almost died. And what you need more than anything is understanding. Something you should be getting from your husband.

[ Knock on door ]

Deacon: Yeah?

Hope: Dad?

Deacon: Hey, hope.

Hope: Uh, hollis called and said you went to the morgue today, and I figured you could use some company.

Deacon: Want a drink?

Hope: I, uh, wanted to see how you were holding up. I know sheila meant something to you.

Deacon: She still does. Look, I– I know this isn’t your favorite topic, so… when I found out she was gone, she was dead, I just– I had to go see her. I had to say goodbye, just… see her face one more time.

Li: Let it go. Sheila could never be what you wanted. This image you have as a loving, nurturing birth mother, she– it’s– it’s ludicrous.

Finn: Look, that’s not the way that I saw her. But look, I mean, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for sheila.

Li: Yes, if it wasn’t for her affair with your father. I’m very thankful she gave us you, but she almost took you away that night in the alley.

Finn: I know.

Li: Do you?

Finn: Yes.

Li: Then, how do you have any sympathy for that maniac?

Finn: I mean, like it or not, she’s part of my past. She’s my roots.

Li: All you shared was dna, nothing more.

Finn: So what, I should just be celebrating?

Li: No, that’s not what I’m saying. But you shouldn’t be mourning her either. Finn, does steffy know how you feel?

Finn: Yeah, I– I told her that it’s complicated for me. Not just that my birth mother is dead. It’s who killed her.

Liam: Finn has always straddled this line when it comes to sheila. And now, he’s walking out on you because of an attack on you?

Steffy: Well, he is still dealing with a lot right now.

Liam: I don’t care. This is his life that he chose. This is his home. You are his wife, for better or worse. Why isn’t he here?

Steffy: He said he’s trying to figure this all out. And I am trying to put myself in his shoes. We have survived many things. We can survive this. (Vo) welcome to lobsterfest. Is your party ready?

Deacon: You must think I’m nuts caring about someone who hurt so many people.

Hope: I’m not here to judge you, dad. I came here because I love you. And yes, while I didn’t have room in my heart for sheila… I certainly have room for you and always will.

Deacon: Wow, I just realized, hope, that you’re the only person I have in this world. You and the kids. And I just hope you know how much you all mean to me. I– I know I haven’t always done right by you. And I’m sure talking about my connection to sheila’s about the last thing you want to do.

Hope: I’m not going to lie to you and pretend like it– it wasn’t upsetting. I mean, it felt like you were making excuses for her. It felt like you were choosing her over us.

Deacon: I– I really am sorry. I never meant to do that. And, you know, the fact that i caused you pain, that kills me.

Hope: Dad, look, in spite of my contempt for sheila, I’m still, you know, I understand that there are going to be people in this world that mourn her.

Deacon: Besides me, I can’t think of anyone in this world who’s gonna mourn sheila.

Hope: I can think of one person who cared about sheila. Finn.

Finn: Look, it’s a lot to absorb, knowing what steffy did.

Li: What sheila forced her to do.

Finn: And I’m not– not blaming steffy for defending herself. I just– I– I don’t know, I just wish it didn’t have to be this way.

Li: If sheila stayed away like you asked her to, sheila would still be alive. Steffy didn’t go looking for trouble. Sheila put her in that position. She broke into your home.

Finn: And I wish I knew why.

Li: Why, because she’s a murderous stalker! That’s why! Listen, honey, I know you want to make sense of all of this. But you never will. None of it. Right now, you need to focus on being a good husband.

Finn: I’m doing the best I can. All right, you think I like being apart from my wife?

Li: Apart?

Finn: Yeah, I slept here last night. You left your wife alone? She was attacked, finn. She almost lost her life. You have all this compassion for sheila. Where’s your compassion for your wife? Finn, what’s going on with you? You need to get your head on straight. Before you cause permanent damage to your marriage.

Steffy: Honestly, liam, I just want finn to come home and work through this together. I mean, we’re both hurting right now. We’re struggling. But I know our love is stronger and more powerful than anything when we’re together.

Liam: Well, I give you a lot of credit for trying to understand where he’s coming from. But there is no excuse for him having even an ounce of pity for sheila because he’s got a wife and kids.

Steffy: There’s no doubt in my mind that finn cares about me and the kids.

Liam: I’m not implying he doesn’t care. But he has obligations here in this home. He has a duty to prioritize you and the kids. And he’s not. So, I’ll tell you this much. Whether finn is out there moping or here, I’m here. You can count on me. You and kelly and hayes can always count on me. (Imitating chicken clucks)

Hope: And when I came here to tell you about sheila, I was shocked when I walked in and I just– I saw finn sitting here just holding a photo of sheila. And he was so upset.

Deacon: I– I didn’t realize how deep his feelings for sheila ran. You know, the saddest irony of this whole thing is that more than anything, sheila wanted to be accepted and loved. And now, she’s not here to see that finn really did love her.

Finn: I don’t know what’s wrong with me. You know, I love you. And you know that I, um, I feel about you. And you know that I just I want to get back to our– our beautiful little life, but I’m sorry, I can’T. Steffy, I can’t be here.

Steffy: Finn, finn, finn. What are you doing? Finn.

Liam: Hi, john.

Finn: Ugh. Um, not now, liam. Um, I’m not in the mood.

Liam: Totally respect that, which is why I’m not gonna stay too long.

Finn: Are you not hearing me? Now is not a good time. I have a lot going on.

Liam: Yeah, no, I heard about what happened at your house.

Finn: What happened? Sheila died, liam.

Liam: Good thing steffy’s okay, though, right?

Finn: Yeah, I’m more thankful than anyone that she’s okay.

Liam: Really? ‘Cause I don’t know, I kinda feel like, I don’t know, you would be there then.

Finn: Excuse me?

Liam: I don’t get you. Like, I know that you’re going through a thing right now, but…

Finn: Uh, I am. So give me a minute. Do I not have the right to process this?

Liam: Yeah, I’m just not sure. What’s the thing that you’re processing? Is it the fact that your psychopath mother is dead? Or the fact that you walked out on your wife?

Steffy: Sheila, I know it’s you. Get out! I’ll do it!

[ Door opens ]

Hope: Steffy. I, uh, I didn’t think you would come in today.

Steffy: Yeah, I just had to, uh, I had to get out of the house.

Hope: I’m so, so sorry for what you’ve been through.

Steffy: It’s really upsetting to say the least. I, um, I can’t get sheila out of my head. I can’T. The way she lunged at me. I was only trying to protect myself.

Hope: I’m sure that was– is incredibly traumatizing. I mean, knowing that you had to kill someone. I can’t believe one bottle of tide

Liam: I was, uh, I was just with steffy.

Finn: You never waste an opportunity.

Liam: Yes, who happens to be my, uh, child’s mother.

Finn: Whatever, man. Can you, um, can you just stay away from my wife?

Liam: No, that’s not gonna work because then we’re both gonna be staying away from your wife and I’m actually concerned about steffy and the kids.

Finn: Well, don’t be. My birth mother, sheila, she’s dead.

Liam: Yeah, why do you do that? You’re trying to play it cool with me, but I know that you see sheila as this, like, warm, fuzzy, benevolent presence in your life. And do you know how that makes steffy feel? It’s alarming. It’s– it’s disloyal.

Finn: Okay, that’s– that’s enough, liam. Why don’t you just mind your own business, okay? This doesn’t concern you.

Liam: You really– you don’t have any idea how lucky you are. I mean, steffy is– is at home doing her best to wrap her head around this bizarre mama’s boy relationship you have with sheila, when any other woman put in that situation with that particular person would’ve dumped your ass, ages ago.

Finn: You don’t have to tell me how amazing steffy is. I’m well aware.

Liam: See, yeah, I was confused because instead of acting like it, you’re seemingly blaming her for almost getting murdered.

Finn: I am not blaming her.

Liam: She was protecting herself. She was protecting your family for you and you are hiding away here. Now, I’ve never understood your relationship with sheila. But this, you prioritizing your grief over her instead of taking care of your wife and kids.

Finn: That’s not what I’m doing.

Liam: No, it is what you’re doing. It is exactly what you’re doing, finn. You’re just lying to yourself about it. And it’s no wonder steffy feels so alone. Wait, she’s not alone. Because she has me. Well, there it is. Do I have your attention now? You see, I’m gonna do everything I can to make steffy feel safe and supported. And if you’re not up to that task, I’m the man she’s gonna start turning to.

Steffy: None of this has been easy for me, hope. Sheila broke into my home and went after me.

Hope: No, I– I know the details. You don’t need to relive that night. All I was trying to say, rather poorly, was that I– I can’t even begin to understand what you must be feeling. I mean, you had to kill someone. I mean, I don’t even think that I could do something like that.

Steffy: What is this? I didn’t have a choice. I didn’t want to do that. I didn’t want to have to grab the knife. But I needed to survive. It was either her or me. I had to protect myself.

Hope: No, of course.

Steffy: Have you forgotten that she shot me before?

Hope: No!

Steffy: Then, what is this? It’s like a weird vibe I am getting from you.

Hope: I– it’s– steffy, sheila has hurt my family too. She’s hurt my mom. I haven’t forgotten that.

Steffy: Let me tell you something. You would have done the exact same thing if you were in my situation.

Hope: I am sure that it was absolutely terrifying. I am sure that all you could think about was the children.

Steffy: Sheila tried to take me away from my children. I wasn’t gonna let that happen again.

Hope: I am just– I’m trying to say that I understand this is a very heavy burden to bear. I was just talking to my dad and he was saying that… look, roll your eyes at my dad and his feelings for sheila all you want. That’s fine. Just please don’t make that mistake with finn.

Steffy: What does this have to do with my marriage?

Hope: I saw finn. And we talked and… despite your feelings for sheila, steffy, finn still has a very real connection to her. And I am just trying to say finn is a good man. Steffy, please just be patient with him. Give him some time to grieve and to process this. I mean, we all– we all couldn’t stand sheila. But at the same time, I mean, that is still finn’s mother. I mean, he– he wouldn’t exist without her. So, I just– I hope you will try to be, I don’t know, just sympathetic to the fact that this is a very complex, difficult time for finn. He’s just in a very vulnerable place right now. I just hope that you will be careful. Steffy, please don’t let sheila’s death interfere with your marriage.

Recap written by Suzanne

Ridge consoles Steffy in her home. She’s still upset about having shot Sheila, and Finn walking out on her right before the police came.

Hope comforts Finn in her arms (in Deacon’s place). She understands that he has a connection with Sheila that the rest of them didn’t. She thinks he needs to process his grief. She advises him to get through this with Steffy.

RJ and Zende are shocked to learn from Thomas that Steffy killed Sheila.

Deacon drops by Steffy’s house, upset that Sheila is dead. She and Ridge are annoyed that he’s so upset and doesn’t seem to understand that Steffy acted in self defense. Deacon can’t understand why Sheila did this, since he knows she worked so hard to change. Deacon gets upset when Ridge says that she got what she deserved, and when he sees her blood on the floor.

After Deacon leaves, Finn arrives. Steffy is glad to see him. Ridge yells at him for not being there for Steffy, but Steffy asks Ridge to leave them alone. Steffy apologizes, and then she and Finn hug. She thinks they can get through anything together. However, when she goes to kiss him, he can’t bring himself to kiss her back (gee, maybe because his dead mom’s blood is still on the floor nearby?? Not very romantic!). He doesn’t know why he’s reacting the way that he is. He’s very uncomfortable and rushes out, apologizing that he needs more time. Steffy calls after him, shocked, and then she gets very upset that he’s left her all alone.

Hope tells Thomas about her visit with Deacon.

Devon: Checking out the big office while billy’s gone?

Nate: Uh, my power grabs are behind me. Just dropping off some figures to support chance’s pitch.

Devon: Oh, yeah. Now, that music festival is a great idea. And it was a great idea back when you pitched it before, too. Just wasn’t the right time. But I definitely see the value in doing something like that right now.

Nate: Well, I hope you could say the same for billy some. Too bad he came at it so hard.

Devon: Yeah, I actually think he said no to it just because I said yes, if I’m being honest.

Nate: It’s the only thing that makes sense. He’s been pulling for chance in every other way. He’s really taken him under his wing.

Devon: Yeah, tell me about it. He asked if I would loop chance in on all executive decisions while he’s out of town.

Nate: Not the kind of thing you do if you have it out for the guy.

Mamie: Hmm. As far as I’m concerned, billy abbott is just getting too full of himself.

Nate: Okay, aunt mamie.

Mamie: No, no. Shooting down good ideas, trying to add the abbott name to the company? And now he’s just coming and going as he pleases. I mean, didn’t he just go out of town and leave work?

Devon: Yeah, he had personal issues to deal with, but we talked about it. It’s fine.

Mamie: Yeah, well, it’s clear to me he has more invested in the family business. It might be time for us to consider grooming chance to be our ally.

Nina: Sweetheart!

Chance: Hi. Thank you for making time for me on the way to new york.

Nina: Of course! I had to see you. Oh, my goodness. Well, I will just never get tired of seeing you in a suit.

Chance: You wanna pick up my dry-cleaning bill?

Nina: Yes, I will. Absolutely. Because it means you’ve been working in an office and not on a case. Oh, my gosh. I can’t tell you how relieved I am to know that the only injury you’ll be risking these days is a paper cut.

Chance: Oh, well, don’t be too sure, mom.

Nina: Yeah, well, office politics? You were kind of vague on the phone. Is everything okay?

Chance: Yeah, everything’s fine. I’m just getting used to the new job. You know, a lot to learn. Not just numbers and spreadsheets.

Nina: But you’re still liking it?

Chance: Sure.

Nina: Well, you know, you don’t have to say that just to appease me. If the corporate world isn’t for you–

Chance: Look, the work’s fine. It’s exciting at times, really.

Nina: Well, I can tell something’s got you down, so what? Are you sorry you resigned as police chief?

Chance: Well, let’s just say that c-suite players can be just as slippery as criminals.

Nikki: I am telling you, seth reaching out to me was not as innocent as I thought it was. Jordan put him up to it. I am certain of that. And I have her phone number. This is the opportunity we have been waiting for.

Victor: Well, then kindly take us through it again, because I wanna be absolutely certain this is not a trap.

Victoria: I agree, mom. We all know how devious jordan is.

Cole: What did seth say exactly?

Nikki: Okay, I met with him today at crimson lights and he kept mentioning this woman, isabel, from our aa meetings. And she used to be a friend of mine and then urged him to reconnect with me. Only I don’t know anybody named isabel.

Cole: And she– she matches jordan’s description?

Nikki: Well, not the way he described her, but she does like disguises, so I don’t know.

Victor: Sweetheart, that’s exactly why I don’t want you to leave the ranch. That seth guy could have led jordan right to you.

Nikki: But he didn’T. And since I told him I don’t know any isabel, he is as suspicious as I am.

Cole: Does he know where this isabel or jordan, does he know where she’s staying? Because if so, we’ll just call the cops and have them check it out.

Nikki: He just said that she approached him at a bar. He didn’t say which one.

Seth: Two more for the road. Now, tell me, what is the real story with you and nikki?

Jordan: I– I– I– I can’t believe that she said that she doesn’t remember me.

Seth: Not even a glimmer.

Jordan: She’s denying that we were even friends?

Seth: She says she’s never known an isabel.

Jordan: She hates me that much. I have let her down that much.

Seth: No, no, no. Maybe she just doesn’t remember. You said you guys partied a lot back in the day.

Jordan: Yeah, but this isn’t right. No, no. I– [ Exhales ] I changed my mind. I wanna see her. So please, call. Call nikki. Set up a meeting with her. Tell her that you wanna meet her somewhere private and out of the way, and I’ll join you. I need to look at her in the eyes. There’s no way she could have forgotten me. When you have chronic kidney disease…

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… -you got this buddy.

-During an asthma attack,

Jordan: I’m sure that once nikki sees me, she’ll recognize me. It’ll all come flooding back to her.

Seth: I’m sure you’re right. I’m sure it will come flooding back. Especially after she sees you out of that cheap wig.

Jordan: Excuse me?

Seth: I didn’t really notice it at first, but it’s kind of obvious, really.

Jordan: You know, it’s rather impolite to comment on a woman’s appearance.

Seth: Hey, cut the crap, isabel. You’re not nikki newman’s long-lost friend. You’re the monster who kidnapped her and forced vodka into her veins. You’re the reason that she fell off the wagon.

Jordan: I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Maybe you’ve had one too many.

Seth: Oh, come on. You think a couple of drinks is enough to get an old professional drinker like me sloshed? That’s just another sign that you’re not who you say you are. Yeah, that and that little act of you throwing the drink in the bus car.

Jordan: I don’t have to listen to this.

Seth: You are despicable. You’re not going anywhere.

Nikki: I asked seth to string isabel along to buy us a little time, but I don’t think should wait on this.

Victor: Well, I’m not gonna rely on seth, okay? I’m gonna call my security and the cops, and don’t do anything until I get back.

Victoria: Mom, are you okay? I cannot believe how this woman continues to find ways to get to us.

Cole: It’s outrageous. The fact that she infiltrated your aa group?

Nikki: Well, luckily, I figured out her game before she could do any real damage.

Victoria: Well, let’s hope so, but you still seem really shaken up right now.

Claire: I think I know another reason why nikki’s upset. Me. Having me out of the hospital and living in your home, it must be unnerving. I’m sorry.

Nikki: No, you shouldn’t feel that way. You’re family. You’re welcome here.

Claire: I appreciate you saying that, but there’s no way that you aren’t still furious about what jordan and i put you through. And pretending that those feelings don’t exist, it’s not healthy for any of us.

Nina: Who’s being slippery? No, seriously, I want names.

Chance: Stand down, mom, all right? It’s nothing like that, but I do feel like I’m caught in some sort of power play between billy and devon.

Nina: Over what? It seems like they both have plenty of power there.

Chance: Yeah, well, I think devon resents that jill brought billy into a high-level position without consulting him.

Nina: They’ve worked together in the past. I mean, why do you say that?

Chance: Well, you know how billy’s been mentoring me?

Nina: Yeah, yeah, you said it was going good.

Chance: Yeah, it has. I was a little hesitant at first, but he’s been great. He’s been showing me the ropes. He’s invited me to meetings. He’s answering my questions. It’s good. The other day, I pitched this pretty big idea, right? And devon liked it.

Nina: Good.

Chance: Well, it was, until billy saw that devon showed interest. And then billy had this, like, about face. You know, he basically dismissed my proposal right there, right in front of everyone.

Nina: Oh, that was pretty rotten of him. Must have stung.

Chance: Well, it’s not the rejection I’m worried about. I don’t care. You know, I nearly died in the field. I mean, I can handle somebody turning down my proposal. I just don’t wanna be used. I don’t wanna be a pawn in whatever this is brewing between the two.

Nina: Can you talk to billy about it?

Chance: I tried. And he denied it all. And get this. He just left town on a personal matter. Made me his eyes and ears.

Nina: So, he shoots down your idea and then wants you to report back to him?

Chance: Puts me right in the middle. I feel like I’m working undercover again. You know, I’m spying on the people I’m supposed to be in with.

Nina: So, what do you want to happen here?

Chance: I gotta figure out how to play this, you know? I guarantee this isn’t the last time somebody asked me to pick sides.

Nina: You know, you don’t have to stay there if you don’t want to.

Chance: Whoa. That’s a 180. What happened? I thought you liked me in the suit.

Nina: No, I love the suit. Keep the suit. Just, um, leave the job if you need to. I mean, believe me, I want you behind a desk. I don’t want you in the field. But there are other places that you can do that. I want you safe and I want you happy. Just because your name is chancellor doesn’t mean you have to work there. I mean, it’s your birthright, but the choice has to be yours.

Chance: Yeah, I guess you’re right. I could always leave. Or I could stay. Turn things to my advantage.

Devon: I don’t think it’s a good idea to use chance as part of some backroom maneuver.

Mamie: Billy and jill don’t have any qualms with it. It is very clear that they’re grooming him.

Nate: He’s a chancellor. It makes sense.

Devon: I understand that, but there’s enough tension as it is between me and billy without using chance as a pawn. And I like chance and his ideas.

Mamie: Well, then all the more reason to have him on our side.

Devon: Well, it doesn’t help when you talk about sides like that either.

Mamie: Billy abbott doesn’t belong here, devon. You know that. I know it. I have no doubt that he is scheming how he can wrest more power from you. But you know what? He can’t help it. It’s just the way that he thinks. He’s always been a gambler at heart. He’s always trying to figure out how he can get over on someone. How he can get the better hand.

Amanda: I don’t think it’s fair to say that billy’s the one with power on his mind. Wow. This must be the famous mamie johnson. It is my honor to meet you. (Hamlet) it’s beggin’!

Mamie: Ms. Sinclair.

Amanda: Please, call me amanda.

Mamie: I can do that. I heard that you were visiting genoa city.

Amanda: Yeah, jill asked me to come since she has other commitments.

Mamie: Oh, now, honey, you can be more straight with us than that. She sent you here to spy.

Devon: Okay. Hey, you know what? Nate and I actually have some things we need to go over.

Nate: Maybe we can all get together some other time.

Amanda: No, but I always wanted to meet your aunt. It’s not just anyone who can take on jill abbott.

Mamie: Oh, now, maybe we should go somewhere and get some drinks.

Devon: No, you definitely don’t need to do that, mamie.

Mamie: But I want to, devon. I have a message that I’d like to give to amanda to pass on to her boss.

Amanda: Intriguing. That’s exciting. What kind of message?

Mamie: Call it a proposition. One that might put this imaginary battle behind us.

Chance: Devon and billy, they’re distracting. So, this is a great opportunity for me to prove I’m above all that.

Nina: Oh, I don’t think I like the sound of this. I thought my days of worrying about you were over. It sounds to me you’re putting yourself smack dab in the middle of a fight.

Cole: Listen, we all still have feelings about what happened, but we’ve been working through those.

Victoria: If my mom says you’re welcome here, she means it.

Nikki: But you’re right, claire. Anger doesn’t begin to describe how I feel about what your aunt is continuing to do to all of us. And yes, you are a reminder of that.

Victoria: Mom!

Claire: No. It’s okay. I want to hear this.

Nikki: More and more, when I look at you, I see victoria. Her strength. Her intelligence. And I am determined to get to the point where I won’t think about your aunt when you walk into the room. Because I am not going to let her have that kind of power over me. And I am so pleased that your recovery is such that a judge approved your release.

Claire: Thank you. And I promise you, all of you, I will not make you regret that.

Nikki: This is your home now. For as long as necessary.

Claire: Now, what do I need to do about my aunt jordan?

Jordan: I need some air. You bought me a lot of drinks. Not all of them got dumped.

Seth: Yeah, I was trying to get you sloshed. Get you to slip up, admit something, but you’re tough nut to crack.

Jordan: Fine. You got me. I lied about knowing nikki as well as I claimed. We’re not best friends. But I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Kidnapping? Forcing vodka into her veins? That’s insane.

Seth: Sure is.

Jordan: Who the hell would do something like that? Because it sure as hell wasn’t me.

Seth: Well, there’s an easy enough way to find out. We’ll just go meet with nikki, like you asked, and her husband, victor. And you know what? We’ll throw in a couple of cops for good measure, just in case our suspicions about you are correct. And if you’re telling the truth, then the laugh’s on me. Sound like a plan? Dry skin is sensitive skin, too.

Nate: I don’t know how much patience I have left with aunt mamie. She is determined to drive a wedge between the chancellors and the winters. Create a problem where there is none.

Devon: I mean, I know she’s stirring things up, but I don’t know if I’d go as far as to say there’s a wedge between us.

Nate: Look, I agree, billy coming on board drew a line that didn’t exist while lily was here. Yes.

Devon: Now, you are right about that, ’cause I never felt like it was us versus them until jill brought billy in. And I do agree with what mamie says about billy. I think that he does want more control and more power.

Nate: Look, I am all for keeping our eyes on billy, but the man left town to deal with personal matters with all this going on. That doesn’t sound like a man on a power-grabbing mission.

Devon: Well, I don’t have a big problem with him taking personal time for himself, but I do think he wants to have it all. And I think he enjoys being able to sit in an office like this and do what he wants to do and leave when he wants to leave. Whereas, you take chance, you know, and it just feels like already, he’s a little more committed to the business.

Nate: Are you saying you think mamie’s right? That we should cozy up to chance?

Devon: No, I’m saying that she’s not wrong in thinking that chance might make a good ally if things get messy.

Chance: Don’t worry, mom. I’m not looking for any trouble. I wanna do just the opposite. I wanna show that I’m the adult in the room, you know? Prove that I actually have the company’s best interests at heart, not my own.

Nina: Unlike devon and billy.

Chance: Exactly. And I think nate’s in the same position. I mean, he told me he was exactly where I am now. Putting out ideas and getting them shot down. So, maybe he’s the one I need to align with. I mean, I doubt he likes what’s going on between devon and billy.

Nina: Ugh, all this talk about alliances. I don’t know. Oh, mamie! Hi! And amanda! It’s so nice to see you. Did you know amanda was in town?

Chance: I did.

Amanda: Yeah, going to chancellor-winters, it’s like old home week.

Nina: Chance was just saying how exciting it is to work at such an amazing company.

Amanda: Yeah, and jill is thrilled to have him, really.

Mamie: Devon and nate are always singing your praises. They said there’s a proposal, too that they’re very excited about. I’m looking forward to what you’re going to do in the future, young man. Well, we’re gonna leave you to your mother and son date you must be so proud. He’s brilliant. Handsome, too.

Nina: I am proud. Thank you so much.

Chance: You all are great for my ego, thank you.

Amanda: Nice to see you both.

Nina: Enjoy.

Mamie: You know, chance is quite a lovely man. I’m actually very impressed with how he and devon work well together.

Amanda: Oh, jill will be very happy to hear you say that.

Mamie: Yes, well, there is history, but adults learn how to let things go.

Amanda: Just like you let go of your old grudge against jill, right?

Chance: That is not good.

Nina: Why not?

Chance: Well, there’s no reason for those two to be meeting alone. Something’s up.

Mamie: What I feel about jill is not a grudge.

Amanda: Oh, I’m sorry. How would you describe it?

Mamie: Why don’t we have our drinks first? We’ll be nicer that way.

Claire: You got me out so I could help. I’m ready.

Victor: You’re right. Now that we have a possible phone number for jordan, it’s time for you to reach out.

Victoria: Are you sure you’re up to it? You don’t have to do this tonight.

Cole: Claire, talking to jordan isn’t gonna be easy. It’s bound to bring up a lot of feelings. I mean, you can wait till morning, get a good night’s sleep.

Victor: Cole, time is of the essence.

Nikki: If jordan is using seth to get to me, she clearly has a plan. Let’s take advantage of her slip-up here.

Claire: I agree. And I won’t be able to sleep anyway, not until this is over with. Maybe a phone call will give us a better idea of what she’s up to, and then victor will make sure that she can never torment us again.

Victor: You bet.

Jordan: Your grip is very strong. You’re hurting me. Please let me go.

Seth: Not unless you agree to meet with nikki and victor.

Jordan: Fine. But the laugh will be on you, so you better get ready to apologize.

Seth: We’ll see. Hey, where do you think you’re going?

Jordan: I’m gonna go get that air that I need.

Seth: Okay. All right, then we will go outside, and we can call nikki together.

Jordan: Really? Really? Is that necessary?

Seth: I’m not letting you out of my sight. Come on, after you.

Jordan: Go on, make the call. I’m looking forward to the reunion.

[ Engine revving ]

[ Jordan grunting ]

[ Car crashing ]

[ Jordan panting ] I would’ve called yesterday. it was just awful.

Jordan: Someone call 911! Oh, my god, there’s been an accident out there. It was just awful. It was awful. I tried to get him to stop and he just said he wanted it over. He wanted it to stop, and then he looked me right in the eye, and he said, “tell nikki newman that I’m sorry.” And then, he just walked right out in front of the car. He killed himself right in front of me.

Claire: Do you have that number?

Nikki: Yes.

Claire: No answer. It’s a voicemail. It says leave a message for isabel.

Victor: Hang up right now. Be patient. We cannot let her know we are on to her.

Cole: Claire, are you okay?

Victoria: You look disappointed.

Claire: I had psyched myself up that things might be finished soon. We could all get on with our lives, but I just wanna focus on the future. I can’t do that until jordan’s dealt with.

Nikki: Amen to that.

Nate: I’ve got to wonder if this is more about you and your need to always be in the middle of some corporate scuffle. Everyone talks about billy jonesing for a win, but maybe it’s you who needs the adrenaline hit.

Devon: Where is this coming from?

Nate: Think about it. First, lily. Then, it was with me, and now it’s happening all over again with billy. Three dierent battles, but you’re the constant.

Devon: I’m the constant. That’s how you really feel?

Nate: I’m just pointing out a pattern.

Devon: Okay. Well, let me point out that on all three of those occasions you just brought up, I was trying to protect the company, and more importantly, neil’s name and legacy. And if you recall, our biggest threat came from you. And then I forgave you and gave you a second chance by hiring you back here, and then you’re gonna stand in front of me and tell me I have an issue?

Nate: I am not trying to turn this into another fight.

Devon: What are you trying to do?

Nate: I just think the best way to protect the company and the winters’ ne is by focusing on the work. Let billy self-destruct. It’s what he does best. And when he does, we’ll be strong as ever.

Devon: And I’m all for doing that, but I’m not gonna turn a blind eye and let us become vulnerable.

Nate: If you wanna know the truth, I think the person we should be most concerned about is in our own family. Aunt mamie.

Mamie: Amanda, I’ve heard some really wonderful things about you over the years, from both devon and nate.

Amanda: Um, well, they both adore you. I’m sure you’re very happy to be spending so much time with them.

Mamie: Yes, I’m very fond of my great niece and nephews. And I’ve just recently come into a really different focus on my life right now. So, you know, family and tradition and legacy, those are all very important to me right now.

Amanda: You know, jill has been saying some of the same things. I think you two are more alike than you wanna admit.

Mamie: Yeah, well, jill and i can both get what we want, but not right now. I am proposing that we have a clear and concise redivision of chancellor-winters.

Amanda: I’m sorry. You want a divided chancellor-winters? You wanna undo the merger?

Mamie: Well, it’s more complicated than that, but yeah, uh-huh. That’s exactly what I’m saying. It’s time. So, you know, that’s the message I want you to give to her.

Amanda: With all due respect, jill would never agree. It would undermine and undo all of chancellor-winters advances. It would make leadership look weak and unstable. We would lose all public confidence.

Mamie: Okay, so we don’t do it in any public-facing way. We do it internally. The company remains a united front, but we do our paperwork to create clear internal boundaries. We work independently. We do our thing, you do yours.

Amanda: That would defeat the purpose of the merger.

Mamie: Which ultimately was a failed move.

Amanda: Again, jill would disagree with that assessment.

Mamie: Let’s all just get back to work and stop all of this infighting. Let’s just get back to what we all know how to do well.

Amanda: Hmm. Ms. Johnson, I have to ask, what do you get out of all of this?

Nina: Look over there. There are two brilliant, successful women who could easily be working together, but are clearly at odds. I mean, amanda’s stepping in for jill, right?

Chance: Yeah, basically.

Nina: Yeah, so it’s jill abbott versus mamie johnson. Cue the fireworks.

Chance: Well, that’s the business. That’s what I’m learning, anyways.

Nina: Ugh. All this posturing and politics. Two things I know you hate.

Chance: Yeah, true. But you know what? I do have one advantage. The line between right and wrong has always been clear to me, so if I just stick to my instincts, nobody can mess with me. Hi, I’m sally.

Nina: Well, I guess a corporate battle is still safer than a shootout.

Chance: There has been no blood, so far.

Nina: I just don’t want you to become so disillusioned that you change your mind about this career move. I need you to be safe, but I also want you to be happy. You know, no conflict, no drama.

Chance: Yeah, I know when to engage and when to back away.

Nina: Yeah, well, I know how jill can get when she’s in a fight, and if that’s where this is headed, it’s not gonna be easy.

Mamie: My one and only agenda is to protect my family, and right now, we are worried about jill and billy. When she put him back into position, it just destabilized everything. People didn’t know what their motives were. No. My plan puts an end to that threat and the doubts that it caused.

Amanda: Ms. Johnson, I see your logic and I do respect your motives.

Mamie: Now, you can be certain that jill will assume the worst. So, you be sure to give that idea your blessing when you fill her in on it.

Amanda: I could tell jill that it’s the most brilliant idea in the world, and still, it would be a resounding no.

Devon: Mamie is not the problem, billy is the problem, and the fact that you don’t see that makes me question where your loyalty lies.

Nate: So, we’re back to that, that I am the problem?

Devon: Did I say that? I just said billy is after you just accused me of being the problem.

Nate: I accused you of having a blind spot about your role in creating conflict.

Devon: I see. Well, either way, we’re not getting anywhere, are we? I think maybe we just need to wait and see what this proposition is that mamie has for jill.

Nate: And it doesn’t bother you that she didn’t discuss it with us first?

Claire: I just said I won’t be able to sleep, but now I’m so tired.

Victoria: I know. This day has been so much for you. Why don’t we take you upstairs so you can at least try to get some rest, and we’ll make that call again tomorrow.

Cole: Your mom’s right. Listen, I’m gonna take off too, and I’m gonna check in with you first thing in the morning, okay?

Victoria: I’ll show you to your room. Come on.

Nikki: Good night.

Claire: Sleep well, sweetheart.

Cole: Have a good night.

Victor: See you, cole.

Nikki: It’s a miracle that victoria got her daughter back.

Victor: All the more reason we put an end to this jordan threat.

Nikki: I was hoping I would have heard back from seth with an update.

Victor: Any response?

Nikki: No. What if I’m wrong? I mean, what if this is just a woman named isabel and I forgot about her?

[ Victor sighing ]

Victor: I don’t think you’re wrong. What we’ll do is we’ll proceed with my original plan. We will stage a photo shoot in front of victoria’s house. The whole group. That way jordan will think that is where claire lives.

Nikki: Between that and the news item you planted, when jordan sees that claire has been released to our care, she won’t be able to help herself.

Victor: And we have got jordan right where we want her.

[ Jordan panting ] Why don’t you come and join us?

Amanda: It was nice seeing the two of you.

Nina: Oh wait, amanda, why don’t you come and join us?

Amanda: Um, yeah, sure, I will.

Nina: Good. So, I guess you’re meeting with all the heavy hitters at chancellor-winters while you’re in town?

Amanda: Uh, yes. Jill has me taking care of a few things for her, but I am happy to do it.

Nina: And I suppose you know about jill and mamie’s eternal feud.

Amanda: Some. I think I understand it a little more now. There are only two choices when people are that much alike. Best friends or mortal enemies.

Nina: Oh, right? Nailed it.

Chance: I think they actually respect each other and they just enjoy sparring.

Amanda: Yeah, don’t tell your grandmother that.

Nina: Oh, god, no.

Mamie: Oh good, you’re both still here.

Devon: Well, I assume that you came back because you had something to report about your conversation with amanda?

Mamie: I do.

Devon: And was it a business proposition that you gave her?

Mamie: It was.

Devon: So you’re gonna talk to us about drawing lines in the sand and then go send a proposition to jill before discussing with us first?

Mamie: Oh, honey, I was just merely testing amanda out. I threw her a line to see if she would bite.

Nate: And did she?

Mamie: Well, she saw my point of view, but she was sure that jill would just turn me down flat. Oh, well. It would have been nice if we’d been able to hash this out as two old friends, but, you know, this less peaceful way suits me just fine.

Victor: I’m gonna go and make you a cup of tea.

Nikki: Oh, thank you, darling. That’s so sweet.

[ Phone ringing ] This is nikki newman. Who is this?

Padilla: This is officer padilla, gcpd, calling about seth morgan.

Nikki: Has something happened?

Padilla: I’m sorry to tell you there’s been a hit and run. Mr. Morgan didn’t survive.

Nikki: Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

Padilla: Witness told the bartender he stepped in front of the car on purpose.

Steffy: I’ll do it!

Sheila: No!

Cleaner: Ma’am? Are you okay?

Steffy: What?

Cleaner: I’m sure this is a very difficult time for you, but… you really can’t be alone. Is your husband home?

Steffy: No. My husband’s not here.

Steffy: She’s gone, finn. Sheila’s dead. It was either her or me. I didn’t– I didn’t have time to think. I just– I just reacted. I– I had to survive.

Li: I can’t believe it. Sheila carter’s actually dead?

Eric: How’s steffy holding up?

Ridge: You know her. She’s strong, resilient.

Eric: No, yeah. But something like this.

Donna: Yeah, I can’t even imagine what it must have been like for steffy, to…

Eric: What an ordeal for her to have to go through. That she had to do what she had to do. Wow. Sheila carter’s finally dead.

Pathologist: Can I help you?

Deacon: Yeah, yeah, I’m deacon sharpe. I’m here to pay my respects to sheila carter.

Donna: It’s just so hard to believe.

Eric: Sheila carter’s finally out of our lives.

Ridge: The paramedics confirmed it. Sheila’s dead.

Pathologist: Since the police investigation is ongoing, the deceased’s body will remain here at the morgue.

Deacon: Right. Dr. Finnegan set this up for me. He thinks I need closure. Sheila and I were engaged to be married.

Finn: How’s hayes? Did he sleep okay?

Li: Yeah. Don’t worry about hayes. He loves spending time with grandma li.

Finn: Hm. He’s with brooke now?

Li: Yeah. Yeah, I had a meeting I couldn’t reschedule, but as soon as it’s over, I’ll go pick him up. Right now, though, I’m concerned for you. And steffy, of course. I hate that it happened the way it did. But I’m not sorry sheila’s dead.

Steffy: I, uh, I really appreciate everything. Cleaning my home and making it feel safe again.

Cleaner: Sorry you’re going through something so traumatic.

Steffy: Thanks.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Liam: Yeah, I heard.

Donna: What sheila did was– was crazy. And breaking in like that and taunting and terrorizing steffy.

Eric: Well, steffy did what she had to do. She had to stop sheila.

>>Idge: , She stopped her,: Is there anything that we can do? I mean, I’m sure steffy’s getting a lot of support. Especially from finn, but…

Ridge: Yeah, you would think that, wouldn’t you?

Eric: You saying he’s not being supportive?

Ridge: Listen, I like the kid and I respect him. But I’m confused why he’s so distraught by this woman dying.

Finn: Can we just not talk about sheila right now?

Li: Believe me, I’d like nothing more now that she’s finally out of our lives.

Finn: Well, she’s gone, mom. Okay? So just let it go.

Li: Let it go? After all that woman did? She went after steffy. Again. Intent on making sure she didn’t make it this time. Thank god steffy did. That she finally took out that sick, twisted psychopath for good. Sheila carter finally got what she deserved.

Liam: I mean, kelly’s doing great. She loves staying with me and her grandpa bill. Not that she doesn’t miss her mom and her little brother. I just think it’s probably best she stay with me for now.

Steffy: Yeah. Thank god she wasn’t here.

Liam: Yeah, I mean, I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure she never finds out about it, but news these days.

Steffy: Yeah, I know. It travels fast. I’m sure she’s gonna hear things at school.

Liam: Well, try not to think too much about that. That’s the least of your worries. Just focus on getting past this and moving on.

Steffy: Yeah, you’re right. That’s exactly what my mom said when we video chatted. It’s just strange being here. Where it happened. I mean, sheila’s blood on the floor. But thankfully, the cleaners were here to take care of it.

Liam: Yeah, I saw that. Going out to the van.

Steffy: Hm. Just so much pain, you know, and heartache. It’s all because of sheila. I just never thought it was gonna end.

Liam: Well, it has. ‘Cause she’s dead. And she’s never gonna hurt anyone you care about ever again. I– I know that what you’ve just been through is traumatic. But please, steffy, please never doubt that you did the right thing. Please never doubt that you did exactly what you should’ve done. By killing her.

Deacon: It’s so cold in here. Um… look, I probably, uh, know the answer to this, but I’m gonna ask anyway. Has anyone else been here to see her? Anyone? God, I miss her so much. I’m probably the only one. I’m sorry I don’t even know why I’m saying this to you.

Pathologist: Sometimes it’s easier to open up to someone you don’t know. Would you like to see her now?

Deacon: Yeah.

Pathologist: I’ll give you a moment alone.

Deacon: Sheila, what the hell happened?

If you’re taking

an antidepressant,

Donna: Well, as horrible as sheila was, I mean she did give birth to finn.

Ridge: Yes, she did. And then she shot him and steffy in cold blood and left them in an alley to die. Not exactly mother of the year material.

Eric: No. But finn grew up never knowing who his birth mother was.

Ridge: Well, he knows who she was now. The woman who tried to kill his wife, twice. And you know what? Finn should be there for steffy right now and I don’t think he is.

Li: Karma’s a bitch. Sheila’s hurt so many people, it’s about time justice finally caught up with her. Quite frankly, I was beginning to think it never would. That her reign of terror will go on and on, but no more. Someone finally stopped her. Steffy finally stopped her. Which seems almost fitting. Sheila dying at your wife’s hands, given what sheila did behind that restaurant. Pointing a gun at steffy, then pulling the trigger, leaving her and you both for dead. But that’s who sheila was. Heartless, soulless, vile.

Finn: Okay, can you just stop? Stop, mom. Sheila was a person, a human being, and now she’s dead. My birth mother is dead.

Liam: Steffy, you did what anyone in your position would and should have done. It’s black and white. You defended yourself. The woman wanted you dead, right? She probably thought that she’d have finn and hayes all to herself if you were out of the picture.

Steffy: Believe me, I know that, liam. But I– I took a life. I mean, that’s not who I am.

Liam: What if kelly were here? She could’ve been hurt. She could’ve been kidnapped. Or worse. Every single one of you was in jeopardy as long as sheila was alive and breathing. And because of you, none of us ever have to worry about her again.

Deacon: Sheila carter. I– I don’t understand this. Sheila, I– I saw you change. I saw it with my own eyes. I just don’t understand. How did this happen?

Not flossing well?

Deacon: You’re so peaceful. Which is almost funny because that’s about the last word I’d ever use to describe you. I never told you this, but i used to always think of you like a beautiful rainstorm. Unpredictable, never boring. One minute, chaotic and relentless, and the next, exhilarating and intoxicating. I’ve always, um, felt like I was alone, even in a room full of people. I just got used to not needing anybody. And then I met– then I met you. And I needed you. And I didn’t give a damn what anyone thought. Because I knew what I was supposed to do next. I was gonna stand by you, no matter what. But now, I– I don’t know what to do next. I’m never gonna forget you. You are always gonna be a part of me, sheila. Do you think I could see her face? Rest in peace, beautiful girl.

Donna: Wait, what do you mean finn isn’t with steffy?

Eric: What is this, ridge? What’s going on?

Ridge: Well, finn can’t come to terms with the fact that his wife had to defend herself and kill his birth mother. He should be with steffy right now. And he’s not.

Li: I am your mother, finn. Not sheila.

Finn: Of course you are. But I just–

Li: No buts. What’s– what’s going on with you? If you’re reacting this way with me, I can only imagine what steffy’s thinking.

Liam: Well, uh, yeah. I shouldn’t stay long. I imagine finn will be home soon and I don’t wanna cause any tension. That’s probably the last thing you need right now, so. Steffy?

Steffy: Yeah. Finn will be home soon, won’t he?

Steffy: I don’t know. I don’t know if and when my husband’s coming home.

Liam: What are you talking about?

Steffy: God. Finn is struggling with sheila’s death. He, um… he says that I’m responsible.

Liam: Oh, really? Finn is struggling? He’s struggling? Such a struggle for him. I don’t care. That is ridiculous. I don’t care that she’s his birth mother. She tried to kill you. You were defending yourself and his entire focus right now should be on you and the kids. How does he not understand that?

Steffy: No, no. I mean, he does. I mean, this whole… god. This whole situation is really disturbing and it’s emotionally challenging. Like, I didn’t ask for any of this. I didn’t want sheila in here. But she gave me no choice. I had to grab a knife. I had to protect myself.

Liam: Yes. Exactly. You had to do what you had to do to survive. You’re not doing anything wrong. You didn’t do anything wrong. You’re not this horrible human being that was sheila. This is the whole point. That’s who she was. Everybody understands that. Everybody gets that. So, it’s kind of beyond me why finn doesn’T. You know what else is beyond me? That he isn’t here right now. Because I’m here. I’m here for whatever you want, whenever you want it. My love and support is free.

Steffy: Thank you. Thank you for just listening to me and being here.

Li: Steffy is your wife. She needs you now more than ever.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: I’m thinking burgers after this. What do you say?

Chelsea: Well, I– I don’t know. I think, um, I think pizza would be a better bet, right?

Adam: Okay. Well, we got one vote for pizza and one for burgers.

Billy: I like both. I abstain.

Chelsea: So, I guess we need a tie breaker.

Adam: Well, clearly it’s gonna come up to the big man. But before you decide, let me just say, burgers comes with milkshakes for dessert.

Chelsea: This is true. But cupcakes follow pizza. So, that’s a solid choice.

Connor: Am I in trouble?

Adam: What?

Billy: Of course not.

Chelsea: Why would you think that, sweetheart?

Connor: You’re all here at the same time. So, if I’m not in trouble, then maybe you’re here because something’s really wrong with me.

Christine: Well, you were right. I am so glad I made that call. So thanks for the advice.

Nina: Oh, no. Well, thanks for taking it. You know, the only reason danny’s all turned around right now is because phyllis is being phyllis. You just need to sit down with him and talk to him and make him see what’s at stake.

Christine: I mean, I don’t wanna give up on danny. I know this is right for both of us, but for him to say that it’s a competition between the two of us. I mean, I– I have to make it clear to him and obvious that phyllis is the one playing games.

Nina: Yeah, but that’s an intellectual argument. You know, what matters is the heart, the deep emotions, the love, the longing, even the fear and loss. If you don’t force danny’s hand and make him realize that he’s pushing you away, he’s about to lose you for good. This could go on for god knows how long.

Christine: No, no. We don’t have god knows how long. I don’t wanna waste any more of my life because phyllis is a vulture and danny’s too nice.

Nina: Well, this is my point. Good. So, hopefully he’ll call soon. And listen when he does–

Christine: I– I know. Don’t mention phyllis.

Nina: Okay, good. Just focus on the two of you and no one else.

Christine: Well, let’s just hope she hasn’t gotten to him first and scared him away before this reverse psychology plan has a chance to work.

Phyllis: Hey, ooh, abby. Just the person I wanna see.

Abby: Phyllis, what do you want?

Phyllis: Okay. I– I want to rent out your restaurant for the evening. Not just a restaurant, the kitchen too.

Abby: Oh, tonight? Now? Ha! No! Excuse me.

Phyllis: But… how’s that a response?

Abby: How is it not?

Phyllis: Well, we can at least have a conversation about it.

Abby: We just did.

Phyllis: But– but no, no, no, we didn’T. You– you have to let me do this.

Abby: Apparently, you don’t understand because this is my restaurant and I don’t have to do a damn thing.

Phyllis: No, no. You don’t understand. Everything in my life right now is riding on this. (Husband) rock, paper, scissors for who’s on dinner duty?

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Nina: Danny’s not gonna leave town without saying so, without saying goodbye to you.

Christine: I’m not so sure about that.

Nina: What are you talking about?

Christine: Look… as far as danny’s concerned, this isn’t about him and me. This is about me and phyllis. And that might be enough as it is to scare him away. Look at what happened the last time phyllis thought I was coming between them. She tried to kill me, for god’s sake. Danny doesn’t wanna go through that again, and neither do I.

Nina: [ Softly ] I know.

Christine: And if he is already scared, you know, she’s gonna blame me and–

Nina: Okay. Okay, cricket. Stop it. Just stop it.

Abby: Phyllis, I have a sold-out book of reservations, so what am I supposed to do? I’m supposed to call all of those people and tell them to make other dinner plans because you, phyllis summers, of all people has waltzed in here with some hare-brained emergency.

Phyllis: I mean, well, that won’t be effective, of course.

Abby: You think?

Phyllis: You know what, abby, I believe in you. I know you can think of something. You could say, you know, uh, “our kitchen caught fire.” Or, “hey, everyone, our fridge blew up, you know, and all our food is spoiled.” Or, “our entire staff came down with, um, the bird flu or something like that.”

Abby: Yeah. Yeah, phyllis, that’s exactly what I should do. I should tell everyone that our– our kitchen equipment is unsafe and that you could potentially get food poisoning here. Yeah. You have a real business sense.

Phyllis: Okay. I will financially make this worth your while.

Abby: Which is exactly what you should tell the other restaurants in town when you give them your crazy idea. I’m sure they would be happy to take your money.

Phyllis: I don’t want any other restaurant. I want this restaurant, abby. I want yours. That should flatter you enough to do me this favor.

Chelsea: Sweetheart, the reason we’re here is we love you and we know you’ve been having a hard time, so we just wanna figure out why and how we can help you.

Connor: The way you got help?

Chelsea: Yeah. I mean, everybody needs help every once in a while for something, right?

Adam: Absolutely.

Chelsea: And that’s nothing to be frightened about.

Adam: Yes. Believe it or not, your mom and I don’t know everything. I know, but it is true. That is why we arranged for you to see a specialist.

Connor: What’s she gonna do? Give me a bunch of tests or something?

Adam: All she’s gonna do, she’s gonna ask you some questions. And all you have to do is answer them truthfully.

Connor: What kind of questions?

Billy: She’s just gonna ask you about, you know, what you’re thinking, how you feeling. Get you to open up a little bit so you can feel like yourself. Think about it this way, you know, the more she knows, the more she can help you figure out how to make it easier on yourself.

Alcott: Hello, connor. I’m so happy to meet you. I’m dr. Alcott. Why don’t we go talk for a bit? Oh, I think just one of your parents will come in right now. How about mom? That work for you?

Adam: Are you sure? Because I think maybe–

[ Adam sighs ] No, that makes sense. I’ll be right here buddy.

Chelsea: We got this.

Billy: Maybe we should check and see if dr. Alcott has a spare hour when she’s done with connor.

Adam: What the hell is that supposed to mean, billy?

Billy: You gotta get a handle on yourself, adam. Do you honestly think connor can’t pick up on your attitude? Breathing claritin clear is like…

Alcott: Just to tell you a little about myself, I got my phd in psychology at northwestern university in evanston, illinois. I specialize in cognitive behavior therapy and I’ve been practicing for 31 years. Which is a long way of saying I’ve been doing this a long time and I’ve met a lot of wonderful kids. Connor, I want you to know there’s nothing you can say that I won’t understand. So, I’d like to get started by asking you a few questions. That okay?

Chelsea: Remember what we talked about. Everything’s gonna be fine, I promise.

Adam: Who are you trying to impress, billy? Hm? The doctor? Connor? ‘Cause you’re not his parent. You don’t have any say in this.

Billy: Lighten up. Just relieve some of the tension, okay? Maybe put a smile on the kid’s face so he’s not walking in there thinking it’s all doom and gloom.

Adam: You’re here for chelsea. I’m here from my son.

Billy: Yeah. And he’s nervous. He’s afraid. And you sitting there all wound up ’cause I’m here is not helping.

Adam: So in other words, you think you know better than me what he thinks and how he feels? Is that what you’re saying, billy?

Billy: No, it’s not what I’m saying. In fact, it’s exact opposite of that. ‘Cause I can be a little bit more objective. ‘Cause as much as I care about connor, he’s not my son. So, I can pick up on a few things that you’re too upset to register.

Adam: Well, thank you for your insights… dr. Abbott.

Billy: I’m not attacking you, okay? I am 100% here to support connor. And that puts us on the same team, whether you like that or not. I know this can’t be easy on you, all right? If it were johnny and katie in there, I honestly, I don’t know how I would feel. I really don’T.

Adam: The kid hasn’t had a break in his entire life, okay? I was there, I wasn’t there, finding out about johnny, watching what his mom went through, and now this? I mean, I look at him and I see how perfect he is. I– I— I didn’t know what was happening. I didn’t know what he was going through.

Billy: But he’s here now. You put him in a situation to be surrounded by people that know how to handle this, okay? That’s a good thing.

Adam: Okay. So then, what if the school’s suspicions are right? And what if he does have ocd?

Billy: Then, you deal with it the way that you would deal with any other diagnosis. You find the right specialist, you get the right treatment, and you move forward.

Abby: Society is the only restaurant that you want? That must mean all the other restaurants in town turned you down. Am I right?

Phyllis: You know, abby, I thought we got past the point of hating each other. I really did.

Abby: Phyllis, this is nothing personal. It’s business pure and simple.

Phyllis: No, no, it’s not. Because if anybody else in this town, anyone you didn’t despise asked you for this, you would absolutely say yes.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Okay. Maybe I can work something out.

Phyllis: Really?

Abby: Later in the week.

Phyllis: No, no, no, no. It has to be tonight.

Nina: Cricket, you’re letting phyllis drive this thing. This whole fear that danny has about this being a competition between you two and that he’s essentially beside the point.

Christine: Which is ridiculous.

Nina: Yes, it is. It’s ridiculous. So put a stop to it. Just forget about phyllis. Remove her from the equation. Put her out of your mind and concentrate on what you and danny deserve.

Christine: Yeah, believe me. I would love nothing more.

Nina: This is your time. You two have finally found your way back to one another after all of these years.

Christine: Right? It almost makes you start believing in fate again.

Nina: No, not almost. Look, you have to stop inviting phyllis to become part of this scenario. I mean, really, phyllis?

Christine: How could you– inviting? What?

Nina: Well, maybe you’re not opening the door to her, but as soon as she’s there, you are right back at it. You’re lowering yourself to her level.

Christine: I admit she brings out the worst in me.

Nina: Well, she can try, but you let her. That’s a lot of power to hand over to a narcissistic drama queen.

Christine: A narcissistic drama queen who should be in jail.

Nina: I know. She should be in jail. We all know that. But she’s not. Get over it. Cricket, come on. You’re better than this. You’re better than her. You gotta start acting like it. I guarantee danny is not gonna stop seeing this as some game that you’re playing until you stop playing it. Stop dragging her into it.

Danny: Hey.

Christine: Hi.

Danny: Hi.

Christine: Did you get my message?

Danny: Yeah. Um, I– I’m really sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I’ve just been really swamped scheduling some added tour dates.

Christine: Added tour dates?

Danny: Yeah. I’ve moved up the second half of my concert tour, and so I’ll be, um, hitting the road in a couple weeks.

Christine: So just like that, you’re– you’re leaving? Are you really ready to give up on us? You know that feeling of having to re-wash dishes

Nina: I’ll leave you to it. I’ll see you.

Danny: Yeah.

Nina: I’ll call you.

Danny: Take care.

Christine: She’s right. We need to talk alone. Let’s go out here.

Danny: Of course. Yeah.

Christine: I, um, I guess I was afraid that you didn’t call me back because you were surprised to hear from me and you didn’t know what to say.

Danny: Well, um, actually, I… I wasn’t surprised. In fact, I kinda knew you’d call.

Christine: You did?

Danny: Yeah.

Christine: Look, I– I know that you are tired of this constant back-and-forth battle between phyllis and me.

Danny: [ Chuckles ] Tired is an understatement. I am exhausted.

Christine: I’m exhausted too. In fact, I– I’m so exhausted that I’ve– I’ve had enough.

Danny: What does that mean exactly?

Christine: The fact that phyllis is even part of our conversation, it just, it makes me sad. I– it doesn’t even make– it– it makes me furious. What the hell is wrong with you?

Danny: Wait, I–

Christine: Danny, danny, just when I thought that we were almost there, that we were getting back to the place that we both wanted to, you essentially let phyllis come between us. I mean, she can try, but you let her get to you. And if that’s the case, I… I don’t even know how I’m supposed to think about a future between us.

Abby: So, it has to be tonight. What’s so special about tonight? Hm? Who’s the unlucky prey?

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, that’s right. That’s me all over the place. This evil, relentless predator. That’s who I am.

Abby: Oh my gosh, phyllis. I was kidding. Sort of.

Phyllis: You know what? Even if you weren’t, it doesn’t matter. I would never tell you who my prey is because you would just misinterpret it and mock me, make fun of me like everybody else in this town. You know what? Forget it. I rescind my request.

Abby: Oh, great. I’ve already forgotten about it.

Phyllis: Can I have a martini? Three olives, please.

Phyllis: Grazie.

Danny: Prego.

[ Both laugh ]

Phyllis: All right. Mm. Oh, my goodness. That’s incredible. It’s so good. It’s better than I could have ever thought possible. How can I thank you?

Danny: By letting me cook this way for you for the rest of our lives.

Connor: I like to sit in the back.

Alcott: What’s better about sitting in the back?

Connor: Because then no one’s looking at me.

Alcott: You don’t like anyone looking at you?

Connor: No.

Alcott: So, tell me about your favorite part of the day.

Connor: I guess I don’t have one.

Alcott: There’s nothing about school you like?

Connor: Not anymore. I used to like some of it, but it’s a lot harder lately.

Alcott: Why do you think that is connor?

Connor: I don’t know. Just can’t concentrate anymore.

Alcott: Well, that’s interesting. You used to be able to concentrate and now you can’T. Did something change and that keeps you from being able to concentrate?

Connor: It’s the thoughts. Scary ones. All day long and out of nowhere, no matter what teacher’s talking or if I’m in the middle of practice, they keep coming and won’t go away.

Alcott: Like what, connor? Would you be willing to share what some of those scary thoughts are with me?

Adam: When you said earlier that everyone gets help?

Billy: Yeah?

Adam: Did you, you know, for the, uh, gambling addiction?

Billy: I did, off and on. A little more off than on. You know, I tried to white knuckle my way through it because, you know, I’m billy abbott and I gotta be stronger than some stupid self-destructive compulsion. Looking back on that, that was stupid and self-destructive.

Adam: Huh. So in general, you would say that therapy worked?

Billy: Yeah, I would. There was one time that it actually made me crack.

Adam: What do you mean crack? You had a breakdown?

Billy: Maybe a little too much information, so just forget I said that.

Adam: Hey. Kinda too late for that. I mean, you just backed yourself into a corner there.

Billy: Adam, uh, let’s not worry about my situation, okay? Let’s focus on connor here because I think it’s best I try and ease your mind so you can be calm and connect with your son when he walks outta here. ‘Cause the last thing he needs is a freaked out father.

Adam: And the last thing that you need is to expose any more of your weaknesses to a man that you often see as an enemy.

Febreze

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Billy: Believe me, adam, I have zero interest in hiding myself from you or anyone else. Who I am, who I am not, what I have done, the things that I have been through, you name it, I own it.

Adam: Well, that’s good to know.

Billy: Yeah. I had a breakdown. And I was in the throes of it when I tried to run you down with that car a few years ago.

[ Adam scoffs ]

Adam: Yeah. Yeah, that happened. Thank god for kevin and chloe or I’d be dead right now.

Billy: If I never said this to you before, I will regret that for the rest of my life. And I agree. Thank god for kevin and chloe. They didn’t only save your life, they saved mine as well. I got into therapy right after that and I have been better and stronger ever since.

Adam: Well, I’m glad to hear that, billy. I really am.

Billy: Correct me if I’m wrong, but I have the feeling that you’ve reached out for help from a few professionals over the years. Is that right?

Adam: Yes. Yeah, I have.

Alcott: What are some of these scary thoughts that keep barging into your mind?

Connor: Well, like when I eat, I can be really hungry, but then I get scared the food might make me sick.

Alcott: Is that why you don’t eat lunch sometimes?

Connor: It’s not just food either. You can get sick from other things too.

Alcott: Like what?

Connor: Like everything. There are germs everywhere. And germs can make you really, really sick.

Alcott: Have you ever gotten really, really sick?

Connor: No, but that’s because I wash my hands all the time to get the germs off of them.

Alcott: Sounds like a good idea to me. So thoughts of getting sick keeps scaring you. Anything else?

Connor: Lots of things all the time.

Alcott: I’d love to hear what they are if you’d like to tell me.

Connor: The kids are talking about me. The– they’re making fun of me and they’re going to hurt me.

Alcott: Oh, connor, I’m so sorry. I’m sure that’s not true. So, of all these scary thoughts you keep having, what are the scariest ones of all?

Connor: You mean the ones that wake me up in the middle of the night and like, can’t go back to sleep?

Alcott: Exactly. Will you tell me what they are?

Chelsea: It’s okay, sweetheart. You’re doing great. What are the scariest thoughts of all?

[ Connor sighs ]

Connor: That something horrible will happen to my mom and dad and it’ll be all my fault.

Danny: If I’ve ever given you the impression ever that she has taken priority over you, then I am sorry. But– but no. Never. Yes, I– I– I see that she’s changed somewhat and– and I’m supporting daniel and– and I’m supporting her. But she’s taking this and she’s running with it and she’s turned this into a huge competition.

Christine: Which is what I’ve said all along.

Danny: And you were right. I didn’t shut the door in her face. But, I mean, this is on you too. You know, you have been more than willing to engage in this battle with phyllis. This is about beating phyllis and then whoever wins, you get the door prize. Me. And I just come too far in my life to know that I do not wanna settle, and I am not going to get sucked in by anything that’s not real.

Christine: Okay.

Danny: You understand?

Christine: Yeah. Well, guess what? I have never thought of you as a door prize, and I never will. You’re the man I’m falling back in love with. And I believe with all my heart that if you just shut out phyllis’s noise just for a second, you would see that you’re falling back in love with me too.

Danny: I was such a fool to even think that there was a future with christine. My future and my destiny is right here in your arms where I belong.

Phyllis: And I belong right here with you in your arms. That’s the truth. I’m so happy you finally realized it.

Abby: Good. You’re still here. Bipolar 1, I got help to push back.

Phyllis: Yes, I am still here. The humble petitioner throwing herself on your mercy.

Abby: Can you please stop, phyllis?

Phyllis: Yes, I can.

Abby: Okay. Here is what I am willing to do. I looked at the reservations. My last reservation is at 8:30, so if that’s not too late for whatever, uh, thing you have planned, I can hand the restaurant over to you at 10:00.

Phyllis: That’s fantastic. Thank you.

Abby: But you have to pay my staff double time.

Phyllis: No, no, no, no. I– I don’t need your staff. Um, my prey, as you call it, um, he’s gonna bring the food, I’m gonna bring the drinks.

Abby: Do you honestly think I’m gonna leave you here alone in my restaurant?

Phyllis: Well, I’m not gonna rob you.

Abby: I don’t know what you’re gonna do. Besides, someone has to close.

Phyllis: Fine. A double pay for your staff.

Abby: And don’t make a mess. No one’s cleaning up after you.

Phyllis: Okay. Hey, abby. I just wanna say thank you. Really. You have– you have no idea what it means to me that you changed your mind.

Abby: You’re welcome… I think. Enjoy.

[ Phone rings ]

[ Danny sighs ]

Danny: I’m sorry.

Christine: What’s wrong?

[ Christine groans ] You’ve gotta be joking.

Danny: I– I should have turned the phone off.

Christine: She just doesn’t give up, does she? And what’s this? Um, phyllis can’t wait for what?

Alcott: And when these scary thoughts start invading your mind, what do you do to try to keep them away?

Connor: Sometimes, I count to drown it out. Counting calms me down, but it can only be certain numbers.

Alcott: Why is that?

Connor: Those numbers make it so bad things won’t happen. That’s why I hate math. I have to deal with numbers that aren’t lucky.

Alcott: I can see how that would be hard for you. What are your luckiest numbers?

Connor: Seven. And– and numbers that can be divided by seven, like 14, 28, 70, numbers like that. Oh, you know what else helps me keep the scary thoughts away? Straightening up my room. I do that a lot. My closet too.

Alcott: I see. It’s important for you to keep things in order.

Connor: It’s like the numbers. If everything is exactly right, then nothing can go wrong. It gets rid of germs, which is a bonus too.

Alcott: Thank you so much for talking to me, connor, and letting me get to know you. You’ve been very helpful.

Connor: That’s good, right?

Alcott: It is. And outside, uh, in the waiting room is your father and your mom’s friend?

Connor: Yeah, billy. He’s a good guy. He likes me and I can trust him.

Alcott: I’m glad to hear that. Would you mind waiting outside with him for a while I talk to your parents? It’s nothing bad. Just to get some more information from them.

Adam: That, uh, expose that you published about me a few years ago, you know, “the making of a monster?”

Billy: Yeah. Not my finest moment.

Adam: Oh, well, I probably should thank you for that.

Billy: No. Please don’t do that.

Adam: No, I mean it. When I learned that I had been suppressing the fact that I– I killed a man when I was 11 years old, I got into therapy myself.

Billy: And did it help?

Adam: Mm-hmm. I managed to expose some, um, past traumas that I didn’t realize were still driving me.

Billy: I think we all assume that we can handle the psychological issues that were dealing with, but the truth is, we all need help at some time or another.

 

Billy: So, how’d it go?

Connor: Pretty good, I guess. Better than I thought it’d be.

Billy: That’s good. What’d you think about dr. Alcott? Did you like her?

Connor: She was nice. She asked me about the things that bother me and scare me. She didn’t act like I was a freak or something.

Billy: Well, you’re not a freak or something, but that’s good. Sounds like you were comfortable with her.

Connor: I was. And you wanna know what else I liked about her?

Billy: What’s that?

Connor: She made it okay to talk. Like I was safe.

Billy: You know, she could only do that because you were brave and honest. I’m really proud of you. Give me some.

Alcott: For a child to come in and relax on his first visit and to open up the way he did, that’s a child who knows on some level that he is loved and supported.

Chelsea: Yeah. I mean, we– we love him so much.

Alcott: It’s clear he’s been struggling.

Chelsea: He’s been in so much pain, adam.

Adam: So, um, were you able to get enough information to make a diagnosis?

Alcott: I was. Your son is showing all the signs of obsessive compulsive disorder. Obsessive compulsive disorder or ocd is a mental health disorder. I’ll be emailing you both a wealth of information and it’ll be a lot to take in all at once. But for now, I can say that his symptoms aren’t unusual. Invasive thoughts create anxiety and get in the way of connor’s day-to-day functioning. His fear of contamination, germs, illness are overwhelming. His need to arrange things until he feels they’re right, like the objects on my table, he put them in order. And the relief he seems to find in straightening up his room and his closet. The counting, he mentioned. The lucky and unlucky numbers.

Adam: This is what he’s been going through every day?

Chelsea: Yeah. The way he was talking, adam, it’s taking up every waking moment. I mean, it’s no wonder he doesn’t wanna participate in sports and– and he can’t focus in class. I mean, things have been awful for him.

[ Chelsea sniffling ]

Adam: Um, what causes ocd? I mean, is it, um, is it genetic?

Alcott: There are no definitive answers to what causes it. Genetics, neurotransmitters, the environment, all possibilities. But it’s not productive to look for blame, especially self-blame. What’s important is you’re taking the steps that connor needs so he can learn to manage the illness.

Adam: Wait a minute. Manage? Are you saying that there is no cure for this?

Chelsea: No, adam, there is no cure. But we will manage it and we will make sure that connor has the tools to remain the wonderful kid that he is out of pain. And we will get those tools as well. We can’t panic or do anything that’s gonna get in the way of helping connor.

[ Connor sighs ]

Connor: What did she say? Am I really sick?

Adam: You know what? Why don’t we go for those burgers and we will talk there.

Connor: Please, just tell me.

Chelsea: Sweetie, you have something called obsessive compulsive disorder.

Connor: Do people die from that?

Chelsea: No, no.

Adam: And we would never let that happen. And it can be treated. Okay?

Chelsea: Yeah, the way I treat my depression. So we’re gonna learn all about it. You, me and your dad, and, the doctors are gonna help us figure it out.

Connor: Am I going to be okay?

Adam: Yes.

Chelsea: Yes, you are. I promise you.

Danny: You’re right. Phyllis won’t give up unless I stop her.

Christine: You know, not too long ago, your exact words to me were, “I want you.” Remember?

Danny: Yes, absolutely.

Christine: Okay. And did you mean that or was that just something you said in the heat of the moment and now you regret it?

Danny: No. No. No. I meant it from the bottom of my heart.


Judah: All kids have worries. It’s part of growing up.

Melissa: But worries and anxiety can turn into something more.

Mark: And when that happens, it’s time to get help.

Melissa: Talk to your doctor. Treatment looks different for every child.

Mark: To learn more about children’s mental health…
