Scene 1

Kevin Fisher returns home to his apartment after a day’s work at his new job as Chief Information Officer for Chancellor Industries. His amnesiac wife Jana Hawkes Fisher is waiting in the living room for him.

“How was work?” she asks, possibly more out of obligation than interest. “You know, this job is so much more than just the IT stuff I was doing for Tucker McCall,” Kevin says, “IT… that’s information technology… computers and stuff.” “I see,” Jana nods. “Yeah, but this job… it’s business strategy and thinking of the big picture, and helping all the other departments communicate with one another,” Kevin adds enthusiastically. “It sounds exciting,” Jana comments. “Very,” Kevin says, “but there’s one aspect about it that I’m not too happy about, and that’s all the traveling I’m gonna have to do. I hate to think of leaving you all alone here.”

Scene 2

Outside of a small house in Hicksville, New York, private investigator Paul Williams talks on his cell phone. He called Tucker McCall, but got voicemail. “Tucker, it’s Paul…,” he begins, “Your Lena Griffin tip didn’t pan out. This woman never went by the name of Eileen Ramsey… But listen, there’s another Lena Griffin in a nearby town called Hicksville. I’m about to check her out right now, in case Charlotte got the city mixed up.”

As Paul hangs up and walks up the front steps and onto the porch, someone comes outside. It’s Jill Abbott!

Scene 3

Gloria Bardwell arrives at Crimson Lights Coffee House, where Ryder Callahan is working behind the counter. “Ryder! A cup of coffee, please,” she requests. “Sure thing,” Ryder replies. He pours the coffee and places the mug on the counter in front of Gloria.

As Gloria grabs the coffee, Ryder notices the ring on her finger. “So you and Jeffrey are engaged after all?” Ryder asks. “Yes! Look at this big, beautiful rock,” Gloria holds up her hand, “I don’t know what I was thinking… that night at dinner. Making a big scene in front of everyone. After all, I’m hardly one to draw attention to myself.” She can barely finish the last part of the sentence without laughing when she realizes how untrue it is. Ryder chuckles a bit too. “I find that hard to believe,” he says, “If there’s one thing Kevin always tells me about his mother, it’s that she likes to be the center of attention.” “That reminds me,” Gloria says, “At dinner, you were going to tell me all about your mother. Why don’t we pick up where we left off?”

Scene 4

Billy Abbott accompanies his teenage nephew Kyle Abbott to the Coffee House. Kyle turns to him: “You know, you didn’t have to follow me in here,” he states, “I don’t need you to hold my hand. I’m just getting a coffee and waiting for Rick… I can do that by myself.” “No way!” Billy replies, “When else do I get a chance to hang out with my very cool nephew. No offense to Detective Dependable [Chance Chancellor], but he’s a little too goody-goody for me.” “You can ‘hang out’ with me any day but today, tomorrow, and the next day,” Kyle explains, speaking of the three days that both of his parents are away, “Those are my days to enjoy what’s left of the summer, and since you already interrupted my time with that girl I was with, and drug me to the movies… twice, I’d say we’ve done enough for today.”

Suddenly, Billy gets a call from Victoria Newman. “Where are you?” Victoria asks, “I’ll come and meet you.” Billy looks out to the patio and sees Victoria out there. “Or I can just come to you,” he tells her, “Stay there.” He motions for Kyle to wait at the table, and then goes out to the patio. Billy and Victoria discretely hug. “Thank goodness you got out of my house! And you got your other sock…,” she notices, “See, that’s exactly what I was talking about, though. I don’t wanna think about what would have happened if Roseanne had seen you. We can’t let anyone find out we’re married!”

Kyle is secretly watching them through the patio window. It’s not clear how much, if any, he overheard…

Scene 5

At the Fishers’ Apartment, Kevin and Jana continue their discussion of Kevin’s new CIO job. “I supported you taking the job, even though I knew you would have to go away,” Jana reminds Kevin, “so I hope your reservations aren’t on my account.” “I’m sorry, but I still worry about you,” Kevin says unapologetically. “I am dealing with it as best as I can,” Jana tells him. “Well, you shouldn’t have to deal with it alone,” Kevin says.

“How did we get talking about this?” Jana asks. “I was worried that your results would come back while I was away,” Kevin reminds her. “Right,” Jana remembers, “So there’s a trip coming up, then?” “Yeah, there’s some conference in Chicago,” Kevin answers, “The only problem is it starts tomorrow… somehow, they got me in last minute.” Jana doesn’t say anything. “I’ll get to meet other CIOs from other big companies,” Kevin explains, “Listen to all these rich guys talk…” “You should go,” Jana tells Kevin. “I have to go,” Kevin replies, “I don’t have a choice… it’s part of my job. I just started there… it’s good training.”

Kevin pauses for a moment to consider something: “What if your results come in from your brain scan while I’m away?” he asks. Jana realizes that she needs to tell Kevin the truth. “They already did,” she admits. “What?” Kevin reacts. “Yeah, you were at work and I knew you couldn’t get away,” Jana explains. “Were you gonna tell me?” Kevin asks, clearly frustrated. “Yes! Of course!” Jana insists, “I just needed to find the right moment. Scott said…” “Wait a minute,” Kevin interrupts her, “You told Scott about this before you told me?”

Scene 6

Phyllis Newman arrives at the Athletic Club dining room, and sees Roseanne Ryerson eating dinner alone at one of the tables. She decides to approach Roseanne. “Um, excuse me,” she tries to get Roseanne’s attention, “You’re the woman evaluating Reed’s custody, right?” “That’s right,” Roseanne confirms. “Well, listen… if you have some free time, I was thinking… maybe we can get my interview over with right now,” Phyllis suggests.

Scene 7

Kevin and Jana continue to discuss Jana’s results from her brain scan. “I asked Scott to go with me,” Jana explains, “You just started your new job. I knew you couldn’t be interrupted.” “And that’s all it was?” Kevin asks for reassurance. “Yes!” Jana insists. “Okay... well, what did the doctor say?” Kevin asks nervously.

“I have retrograde amnesia,” Jana informs her husband, “Dr. Hamilton… said that I won’t be able to get my memory back,” Jana reveals. Kevin is crushed. “So, just like that… it’s just gone?” he manages to say, “It’s hopeless?” “That’s what it sounded like,” Jana tells him. “Jana, I… I don’t know what to say,” Kevin stammers. “Say that you’ll support me and you won’t keep pushing me to be exactly like the old Jana,” Jana replies, “and that you’ll still go to your conference. Because the last thing I want is for you to jeopardize your career for me.”

“But maybe I shouldn’t have taken the job,” Kevin tells Jana, “It just wasn’t a good time. I have the Coffee House to run – luckily, Ryder’s there now – and with everything you’re going through…” “I’ll be fine,” Jana says confidently, “It was definitely a blow when the doctor first told me, but I’ve accepted it.” “Still, if I go to this conference, I want someone to stay here with you,” Kevin tells Jana, “I don’t want you being alone.” “I really don’t think I need a babysitter,” Jana tells him, “I’ll go back to work at the Coffee House… that way, I’ll hardly ever be here.” “But I’m talking about at night…,” Kevin says, “Maybe Daniel can stay here with you for a few days.” “I don’t really know Daniel,” Jana replies, “I mean, not that well, anymore.” “Okay, well, maybe you can stay with Michael and Lauren,” Kevin suggests, “I’m sure they wouldn’t mind.” “I don’t want to intrude on anyone,” Jana says, declining that suggestion too. “Meet me half-way here,” Kevin insists, “You’re my wife, and I love you… do it for me, please.” Jana scoffs. Kevin tries to compromise: “Okay, how about if Scott will stay here?” Kevin throws out an alternative, “Then will you agree?” “Okay…,” Jana immediately agrees. She now has a big smile on her face.

Scene 8

Billy rejoins Kyle at their table in the Coffee House. Victoria has now left form the patio. “So how long have you two been sleeping together?” Kyle asks outright, much to Billy’s surprise. “Whoa. Come again?” Billy says. “You and Victoria,” Kyle repeats, “How long have you been doing it?” “Me – since fifteen. Back in New York City,” Billy admits, “Victoria – I dunno. You’d have to ask her, but I doubt she’d tell you.” “I mean, with each other, you idiot,” Kyle clarifies. “Doing what with each other?” Billy avoids answering the question. Kyle doesn’t answer Billy either. “I don’t blame you,” he continues, “She’s pretty damn hot… for a Newman. I definitely wouldn’t say no to…” Billy interrupts Kyle. “Hey. You’re not even legal yet,” he says, “So get your mind out of the gutter, where Victoria’s concerned. And direct your fantasies to someone more age-appropriate… like Miley Cyrus, or something.” “Wait… so you’re actually into Victoria?” Kyle realizes, “She’s not just some random hook up? I thought the Newmans and the Abbotts were supposed to hate each other.” Billy is trying to think of a way to deny his feelings for Victoria, but he can’t. He sighs. “This goes no further than the two of us. You got it?” he replies. “How far it goes is all up to you, Uncle Billy,” Kyle states.

Scene 9

Paul and Jill have just come face to face in Hicksville, New York, on Eileen Ramsey (Lena Griffin)’s front porch. “Well, this is a surprise!” Paul says, “What are you doing here?” “I could ask you the same thing,” Jill replies. “Did Tucker tell you about Lena Griffin?” Paul questions. “When you wouldn’t take the case, so I hired a detective of my own,” Jill lies, “That’s why I’m here. How about you?” “I told you I would look into your birth parents… off the record, when I had a chance,” Paul replies, also distorting the truth a little. “Oh, so this has nothing to do with Katherine then?” Jill clarifies. “I’m here for you,” Paul assures Jill. “It doesn’t matter who you’re here for, really,” Jill says, “It’s a bust, anyway. Eileen or Lena, or whoever the hell she is, has no idea about this other baby. She says that if Charlotte gave up another baby, it’s news to her.” “Let me try talking to her,” Paul suggests. “Knock yourself out, but I’m not getting my hopes up,” Jill tells him, “She’s not my mother, and she doesn’t know anything about who is…”

Scene 10

On the patio of the Coffee House, Billy reacts to Kyle’s threat. “No, no, no!” Billy protests, “You are not gonna use this against me, nephew. There are reasons why Victoria and I can’t take our relationship public yet.” “Then you better cooperate with me,” Kyle says in a serious tone. “What is it that you want?” Billy inquires, but before, Kyle can answer, Heather Stevens and her younger half-brother Ricky Williams arrive at the Coffee House patio together. Kyle waves to get Ricky’s attention. Ricky and Heather approach Kyle and Billy.

“I see you’ve picked up another shadow too,” Kyle comments, regarding Heather. “There is nothing wrong with wanting to get to know my little brother better,” Heather states. “See, that’s what I said,” Billy adds. “Um, Kyle, this is my sister Heather,” Ricky introduces them. Kyle’s staring at her overtly. “You’re so hot,” he says aloud. Heather looks uncomfortable, but smiles. Ricky doesn’t know what to say. “Hey, remember what I just told you,” Billy prompts Kyle, who calms himself down…

“And I think you two know each other,” Ricky says about Heather and Billy. “We do,” Heather says. “Very well,” Billy adds, and Heather gives him a look to shut his mouth. There is a clear awkwardness between Billy and Heather in their interactions. Kyle picks up on it immediately. “You’ve slept with her too, haven’t you?” he asks Billy in front of Heather and Ricky. “No!” Heather immediately denies it, but at the same time, Billy says “Yes.” He sees no reason to lie to Kyle again. “Billy!” Heather shouts, “That’s our business as adults, and I don’t think my teenage brother or your nephew should be hearing about it.” “It’s not like I didn’t know already,” Kyle tells Heather, “You can just tell sometimes from the way two people act around each other… Like Scott and that broad he’s talkin’ to.” He stares at Scott and Jana who are talking inside the Coffee House. “Those two are definitely doin’ each other, or about to real soon,” he continues, “You can see how much they want to rip each others’ clothes off…” The others are all speechless.

Scene 11

Inside the Coffee House, Jana and Scott Grainger, Jr. continue to talk to one another. Kevin can be seen in the background talking to Ryder and Gloria. “I want you to know that Roxanne told me about what happened with the two of you,” Jana says softly to Scott, in order to be discrete. She’s referring to Scott sleeping with Roxanne Porter, Devon Hamilton Winters’ girlfriend. “Yeah, well, I promise you it wasn’t my idea,” Scott defends himself, “I didn’t go looking for it to happen.” “You don’t have to justify yourself to me,” Jana tells him, “I still know what kind of person you are. And I won’t judge you… even though I believe that an intimate relationship should be reserved for two people who care very deeply for one another… I don’t know what I believed before, but that’s how I feel today.” “Sometimes things are a little more complicated than that,” Scott tells her. “Yeah… I’m starting to see that you’re right,” Jana admits.

Kevin approaches them. “So did Jana ask you yet?” he inquires. “Ask me what?” Scott replies. “We were talking about something else,” Jana tells Kevin, “I didn’t get a chance yet.” “Oh, well, I’ve got a conference starting tomorrow and, um, I thought, maybe you could stay with Jana while I’m away to keep her company.” “Yeah, sure,” Scott immediately agrees, “Don’t get me wrong: I love my suite at the club, but I could also use a change of scenery from it too.” “I’m glad to hear that,” Jana replies. “Yeah, man, Jana trusts you. I trust you,” Kevin tells Scott, “So I owe you one… Big time…”

Scene 12

Gloria and Ryder continue their conversation about Sheila Carter. “You know I don’t like to talk about Sheila,” Ryder tells Gloria. “I realize that, but I’m just trying to understand… how did you find out that Sheila was your mother?” Gloria asks, “and how often did you see her?” “Hardly ever,” Ryder admits, “Because she was too busy trying to get back at Lauren to be a real mother.” “That’s very sad when someone devotes their life to revenge

“She was Aunt Sheila to us for the longest time,” Ryder explains, “Sarah was ‘Momma Bear’ to us, but she didn’t have any motherly instincts. She wasn’t kind, nurturing, any of that… she treated us like we were her slaves. Sometimes I would wish that she wasn’t my real mother… that someone would come and take me away, but it never happened.” “So how did you find out that Sheila was your real mother?” Gloria asks again. “It wasn’t until after we learned that she had died,” Ryder informs Gloria, “Sarah sat us down and told us that Sheila was our mother, and that Lauren was the reason we never got to know her, and would never get the chance.” “And that’s when she enlisted you and Daisy to help her avenge Sheila’s death,” Gloria realizes. “Exactly, because she said that that’s what our mother would have wanted,” Ryder says, “and that’s the decision I regret more than anything in this world…”

Scene 13

At the Athletic Club, Roseanne has been interviewing Phyllis about Victoria’s parenting skills. “I really have been trying to stay neutral in the while thing. Victoria and JT both… I can’t say a bad word against either of them as far as being parents,” Phyllis says, “When it comes to my own daughter, I trust them both implicitly. And my daughter has a peanut allergy, so she requires extra-special care, and I know that both Victoria and JT have always been really good with her and with making sure that she’s eating safe foods. And they’re the same way with Reed. Yes, they both have high-profile jobs, but nothing is more important to them than their little boy. I believe that, and I’ve seen that from the way that they interact with him.” “Thank you,” Roseanne says, “Do you have anything else you’d like to add, Mrs. Newman?”

Phyllis thinks for a moment. “Um, I don’t know if I should say this or not,” she prefaces her speech, “but I actually had my son taken away from me before… I was declared an unfit mother in a court, so I know better than anyone should what Victoria’s going through. And she doesn’t deserve it. She’s a good mother to Reed, and she doesn’t deserve to lose her son just because her marriage didn’t work out. I know what that’s like, and it is the most painful thing a mother can go through.”

Scene 14

Michael Baldwin is at home in his apartment when there’s a knock on the door. Michael answers the door and sees Ricky, although he doesn’t know who Ricky is. “Mr. Baldwin?” Ricky asks. Michael looks up. “Yes. How can I help you?” he replies. “I’m Ricky Williams, Paul Williams’ son,” he tells Michael. “Ricky! Wow, you’ve grown up!” Michael exclaims, “Come on inside… Your father told us you were coming to town. Eden’s mentioned you a few times.” “You’re Eden’s father?” Ricky asks as he takes a seat at the couch. “Half-brother,” Michael clarifies, “Much older half-brother… Don’t ask.” “I guess every family has its secrets,” Ricky states. “You got that right,” Michael agrees. “I was hoping you could help me uncover some of mine,” Ricky reveals, “Starting with my mother…”

Scene 15

Phyllis remains at the Athletic Club after her interview with Roseanne. Ashley Abbott, CEO of Jabot Cosmetics, arrives for a business meeting. “Oh, hi!” Ashley says to Phyllis, who almost runs right into her. “Sorry, I wasn’t watching where I was going at all,” Phyllis admits. “Yeah, you seem a little shaken up,” Ashley notices, “Is everything okay?” “Not really,” Phyllis confesses, “Actually, not at all. Um, listen… can you sit down for a minute? I think you can relate to what I’m going through.” “This sounds serious,” Ashley comments, “but honestly, I really can’t stay long. I have a business meeting.” Ashley sits down. “Okay, no problem,” Phyllis says, “Um, I’ll try to make this short… I don’t even know where to begin…” She takes a deep breath, and continues talking. “Someone has been, I guess ‘haunting’ me would be a good word for it,” she explains. Ashley looks confused. “Haunting you how?” she inquires. “First, I started getting these calls that were just hang-ups, and I thought it was nothing,” Phyllis informs Ashley, “but then I found a dead eel in my bed. And then someone tried to run me and Nick down while we were at the lake. And later, I found an article that someone left on my porch, about the death of a former friend and co-worker of mine.” Ashley looks disturbed. “What does it all mean?” she asks. “Well, obviously, someone from my past is trying to destroy my life,” Phyllis tells Ashley. “Phyllis, that sounds a lot like what Adam did to me last summer,” she realizes, “I mean, the MO is almost exactly the same: sneaking around the Ranch, and doing little things that’ll make you go crazy.” “I know!” Phyllis agrees, “That’s exactly how I feel… like this is driving me crazy.”

“Well, I have a business meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...,” Ashley informs Phyllis as she gets up from the table. “Yeah, sure,” Phyllis says. “I hope that you find out who’s behind all of the things that are happening to you, so that you can put it behind you like I have.” “Thanks,” Phyllis replies.

Phyllis considers what Ashley just said, and gets a shiver at the thought of it. “Adam…,” she whispers aloud, not sure if it could actually be possible…

Scene 16

At the Baldwins’ Apartment, Michael reacts to Ricky’s request to tell him about his mother, Isabella Brana Williams. “Your mother, huh?” he says, trying to decide what he should do, “What do you want to know about her?” “Did you know her?” Ricky wants to confirm, “‘Cause I was told that you’re the guy to ask.” “Yes, I knew Isabella, but that was a long time ago,” Michael admits, “As a matter of fact, I invited her here to Genoa City. I thought she could use a fresh start.” “A fresh start from what?” Ricky inquires. Michael realizes he shouldn’t give out any information. “Does your father know you’re here?” “My father knows I’m curious about my mother,” Ricky answers vaguely. “But how does he feel about that?” Michael follows up. “Does it really matter?” Ricky asks, “She’s my mother… I have a right to know.” Michael tries to let Ricky down gently. “But, you see, I have to assume that Paul is doing what he thinks is best for you by not telling you much about your mother.” “I don’t get it, though,” Ricky says, “What’s the big secret?” Michael doesn’t immediately reply. “I’m gonna find out one way or the other,” Ricky adds. “Look, I think you’re a nice kid. And I really wish I could help you, but I really think you should talk to your father about this some more,” Michael suggests, “Sometimes, things are better left in the past. Just think about that a little before more you go digging any further into this…”

Scene 17

At the Coffee House, Kevin is talking to Ryder and Gloria. He watches Billy, Kyle, and Heather out on the patio. “I guess I better go see Billy Abbott and his ‘Mini Me’ out there,” he says, “I don’t know why I agreed to let that kid [Kyle] work here… I’d much rather him be someone else’s problem.”

Out on the patio, Scott sees Billy and the others at the table and approaches them. “Hey, man,” Billy greets him. “So, big issue coming out tomorrow,” Scott says, speaking of Restless Style. “Yeah, your first one,” Billy realizes, “If you think you’re excited now, wait ‘til you see your cover story on all the stands tomorrow.” “I know I’m excited for my big debut,” Kyle says. “You’re gonna be in Restless Style?” Heather asks. “Kyle is our cover model, and part of our cover story,” Billy tells Heather, “and this, by the way, is Scott, my newest writer.” “Hi,” Heather says, “I’m Heather Stevens.” “Scott Grainger,” he replies, as he shakes her hand. “Lauren’s son Scott?” Heather asks. “Yeah,” Scott confirms. “Our parents were married, like, a really long time ago,” Heather tells him, “I guess that kind of makes us related.”

Suddenly, Kevin approaches Billy and Kyle’s table. Kevin and Scott knock their fists together to greet one another. Billy and Kevin acknowledge each other only out of obligation. “Kevin,” Billy mutters. “Willy,” Kevin says back, before turning to Kyle, “You’re supposed to be here first thing tomorrow. I have to go out of town, so I won’t be here, but my half-brother Ryder will. I want you to report to him.” Kyle salutes Kevin. “Yes, sir,” he jokes. “And I want you to take this job seriously,” Kevin says. “Cut him a break, Chipmunk!” Billy defends Kyle, “He said he’ll be there.” “He better,” Kevin warns.

Scene 18

Kyle and Billy are inside the Coffee House, getting refills while Heather waits out on the patio still. “Now, Heather let Ricky go,” Kyle says, “So I’m leaving too. And if you want to keep your ‘relationships’ with Victoria and Heather a secret, then you better not bother me for the next two days, and you better make sure that Heather leaves Rick alone too.” “But…,” Billy begins to speak. “This isn’t up for negotiation, uncle,” Kyle says.

Scene 19

Kyle has left the Coffee House, but Heather and Billy are still on the patio. They are both on their cell phones, talking to Paul and Jack, respectively. “They don’t like us hovering around them at all,” Billy tells Jack. “We had to let them leave the Coffee House for a bit, or else they’d get too suspicious,” Heather informs Paul, who’s in New York. “I told you not to let Ricky out of your sight,” Paul reminds his daughter, “I’m positive Kyle is the one who convinced him to lie to me. And I want you to make sure that Kyle doesn’t get him into any more trouble than he’s already in.” “Yes, we are ruining whatever fun they’re trying to have while you’re away,” Billy assures Jack, “I already forced Kyle to sit through the same movie twice today. He wasn’t very happy.”

After they’ve both hung up their phones, Billy turns to Heather. “Look… I know that Paul and Jack want us to keep tabs on Kyle and Ricky. But, I mean, think about it from their point-of-view,” Billy says to Heather, “Would you have wanted someone hanging around you all the time… trying to prevent you from doing anything with your girlfriends. Or your boyfriends…” “Good point,” Heather realizes. “Yeah, let’s just give them the benefit of the doubt,” Billy suggests, “Sure… they lied about where they were staying so that they could have the mansion to themselves, but that doesn’t mean they’re gonna destroy the place or something.” “I don’t know,” Heather replies hesitantly, “My dad is counting on me to keep an eye on Ricky and prevent him from spending too much time with Kyle… that’s his punishment for lying.” “Yeah, but think of it as a test,” Billy says, “Let’s not assume they’re guilty of anything more than telling a white lie. Let’s give them a chance to be on their own and see what they do.” “Or if we give them enough rope, they could hang themselves,” Heather counters.

Scene 20

Inside the Coffee House, Ryder finds the courage to approach Jana. “Kevin told me about your memory,” he informs her, “I know it’s my fault you have amnesia in the first place.” “I don’t exactly remember, but from what I’ve been told, it was Sarah’s fault, not yours.” “Well, I went along with it,” Ryder tells her, “I could have saved you a lot earlier than I did, and maybe things wouldn’t have been so worse.” “You can’t dwell on it,” Jana says, “We just all have to accept things the way they are, and move on…”

Scene 21

Kyle and Ricky return to the Abbott Manor. Ricky is upset after his visit with Michael. “So Michael pulled the same crap as your mom,” he rants to Kyle, “Refusing to tell me anything about my mom!”

Kyle is unsympathetic. “You ever see Ferris Bueller’s Day Off?” he asks Ricky. “Yeah,” Ricky replies, confused. “Well, these are our days off,” Kyle says, “So you can forget about your mom for two more days, can’t you? This is our time to chill out, enjoy life… we got a big party coming up tomorrow. Our parents are still clueless, and I’ve made sure that Heather and Billy will stay out of our hair.” “What if they find out about the party?” a worried Ricky asks. “They won’t,” Kyle replies confidently, “You know, you are just like that Cameron kid… Ferris’s best friend. So pessimistic, and always worried. But everything’s gonna go off without a hitch. You gotta trust me, Rick. Have I ever steered you wrong before?”

Scene 22

Ashley is now back at her office in the Jabot Building. There’s a knock on her door. It’s her former step-mother and current employee, Gloria. “Hi Gloria,” Ashley says, more politely than usual, “What can I do for you?” “I’m here to deliver on the other end of our deal,” Gloria announces, “I have some more information from Ryder about his mother Sheila and how he grew up.” “I don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch, but Abby hasn’t seemed nearly as interested in Ryder anymore since we loosened up on her grounding,” Ashley tells Gloria, “She doesn’t mention him anymore. They haven’t been caught talking or sneaking around to see each other…” “Maybe she’s just getting better at hiding it,” Gloria suggests. “Or she realizes that he’s not worth spending the last of her teenage years grounded,” Ashley replies. “Well, either way, I wanted to keep my word, Ashley,” Gloria says, “That’s why I found out the rest of the information you wanted from Ryder.” “And I appreciate that, Gloria,” “That’s why I’m keeping my word to you, as well. Not only can you keep your job here, but I’ve taken a sizeable amount of the settlement amount from your salary, so at this point, you’re well on your way to being free of your debt…”

Scene 23

Jill, disappointed that Tucker’s tip didn’t pan out, is at a bar drowning her sorrows in a drink.

Scene 24

Eileen Ramsey (now called Lena Griffin), an elderly woman a little older than Katherine Chancellor Murphy, comes into her living room carrying a cup of tea for Paul. He’s just hanging up his cell phone. “Sorry about that,” he says, “My daughter…” Lena hands him a cup of tea, and he thanks her. “So, do you have any daughters yourself?” Paul asks, trying to probe her for information. “I know what you’re trying to do,” Lena answers him, “You’re trying to trick me into admitting something.” “I’m just making conversation,” Paul assures her. Lena seems to let down her guard. “I had two daughters: Beth Anne and Betty Jo,” she says. “And you have a good relationship with them?” Paul asks. “My Elizabeth is dead now,” Lena informs Paul. “I’m sorry to hear that,” Paul offers.

“It was a long time ago,” Lena says, “and my Betty is very sick right now. But, yes, I had a wonderful relationship with my girls, and I’m very proud of them.” “So you know how special the bond between a mother and a daughter can be,” Paul infers, “and why it’s so important to Jill to find her biological mother. She spent several years believing that another woman was her mother, only to find out recently that that wasn’t true…” “Katherine Chancellor,” Lena states. “Yes,” Paul confirms, “You know about that?” “My sister told me all about it,” Lena admits. “Right, and that’s what I’m here to find out… if your sister ever told you anything else… about another baby that she might have ever taken to an adoption agency… You see, I want to find Jill’s mother, not because I’m a PI, but because she’s my friend,” he tells Lena, “Can you help me?”

Lena is hesitant to reply. “I’m happy with my life and my family as it is,” Lena says, “I don’t want it to change. I’m much too old and set in my ways to alter my life to get to know someone who hasn’t been in my life in nearly sixty years, and that’s why I didn’t tell her this, but I think that the woman that was here is my daughter…”

Scene 25

Victoria is back home and is now talking on the phone to Nick. “And you’re sure it’s only temporary?” Victoria asks her brother, who just told her that he and his daughter, Summer, will be staying at the Main House on the Newman Ranch, “You know how hard it’s been on Reed to live without both of his parents. I would hate for Summer to go through the same thing.” Nick replies, but his response cannot be heard. “You really need to get a brain, Nick,” Victoria tells her brother, “You should be standing by Phyllis’s side supporting her through all this. You two have been through so much together… Don’t let this be the thing that ends you…”

Scene 26

Michael is now with Phyllis at the Tack House. “What if Ashley’s right?” Phyllis asks the unthinkable, “Could Adam be alive? Could this be revenge for my part in exposing him for kidnapping Faith?” Michael won’t even consider the thought. “Listen to me, Phyllis!” he orders, “You have accused Ryder and Daisy, Diane, Christine, Brian Hamilton, and now you’re accusing a dead person! You need to get a grip. You’re out of control.” Phyllis is teary-eyed. “I don’t know who else it could be,” Phyllis admits, “I’ve gone over every angle. Thought of every person from my past who might want to get back at me. And I can’t think of anyone who would be so cruel, especially when all these things happened so many years ago, and I am a changed person now…”
