Scene 1

At the Genoa City Courthouse, the entire courtroom remains in shock at Victor Newman’s confession that Brad Carlton, not JT Hellstrom, is really his grandson Reed Hellstrom’s biological father.

Alex Perez, JT’s lawyer, breaks the silence. “Your Honor, this whole thing is hearsay,” she says, “We can’t just take Mr. Newman’s word for it. Without any tangible proof…” “I’m gonna interrupt you for a moment, Counsel,” the judge cuts her off, “I want to make it explicit right now: I’m not going to base any decision on the fact that Mr. Hellstrom is or isn’t the child’s biological father. He is and has always been the only father the child has ever known.” “Thank you, Your Honor,” JT says. The judge turns to him. “But I imagine, Mr. Hellstrom, that you’d like to know for sure,” he speaks.

“Reed is my son,” JT maintains. “I’d like to know, Your Honor,” Victoria Newman Abbott interrupts, “I know what my father is capable of, and this is something he would have done.” “I did do it!” Victor shouts, “I switched the damn results, I told you!” “Order! Order in my courtroom,” the judge attempts to regain control. He turns to Victor.

“Mr. Newman, you do realize that if you’re lying about your grandson’s paternity in order to help your daughter win custody, you’re committing perjury,” the judge explains, “and if you’re telling the truth and you did switch the results, you’ve admitted to committing a crime – forgery and tampering with public records.” Victor nods. “Yes, Your Honor,” he replies, “I didn’t make this decision to reveal Reed’s true paternity lightly. I am prepared to face any and all consequences that result from my actions.”

Scene 2

The courtroom has calmed down and the judge is ready to resume the hearing. “Now that I think we’re settled again, I don’t want any more outbursts or interruptions or I’ll throw you all out of the courtroom,” he threatens.

“The babies are coming!” a voice shouts. Everyone turns around to face Mackenzie, who is clearly in distress. “What?” someone calls out. “I’m in labor!” Mackenzie repeats, “The babies… Help me! I need to get to the hospital…” “Mac!” JT rushes over to his girlfriend and the courtroom is once again in a panic.

Scene 3

Paul Williams is sitting at the kitchen table reading the newspaper when his son Ricky Williams comes out of his room. “It’s about time,” Paul comments. Ricky goes to the fridge, grabs a drink, and starts to walk away. “I’m not talking to you anymore,” he says harshly. He’s still upset that Paul kept his mother’s past and whereabouts a secret from him. “You just did,” Paul remarks.

Ricky turns around. “I wanna see her,” he says, obviously speaking of his mother. “Out of the question,” Paul immediately responds, “I mean, there’s no telling how she’d react to that. She might not even know you’re her son. It could give her a setback. It could traumatize you…” “I don’t care,” Ricky insists, “I’m willing to take that chance. She’s my mother…”

Paul’s cell phone rings and he answers it. “Paul Williams,” he says. JT is the caller. “Yeah, I’ll leave right now. I’ll meet you at Memorial,” Paul tells him after JT updates him on Mackenzie’s situation. He hangs up.

“Look, I’ve gotta go,” Paul tells his son, “We’ll finish this later.” “Whatever,” Ricky rolls his eyes. “Be here when I get back,” Paul warns as he heads out the door. Ricky plunks himself down on the sofa as suddenly, there’s a knock on the door. He sighs. “Now what?” he says aloud.

He gets up and answers the door. It’s Abby Carlton.

Scene 4

Katherine Chancellor Murphy and Jill Abbott are together in the living room of the Chancellor Estate. “Have you read those reports I gave you?” Katherine asks. “Not yet,” Jill answers, “It’s on my list.” “Well there’s no time like the present,” Katherine states, “Sit. We have a big meeting coming up. I need you to be apprised to all the major developments since Nikki is off.”

Katherine’s call phone rings. “Speaking of Nikki,” she says as she picks up. “Nikki, darling,” she answers the call, “How was the custody hearing?” “Mackenzie is in labor!” Nikki announces, getting right to the point. “What!? Now!?” Katherine responds, “How?” “There’s no time to explain,” Nikki tells her friend, “Just get yourself to Memorial. And bring Jill with you.” “We’re on our way,” Katherine says. She hangs up. “What is it?” Jill demands. “Mackenzie’s in labor,” Katherine answers, “The twins are coming… Come on.” “Right behind you,” Jill says as they head out of the living room in a hurry.

Scene 5

In the Williams’ Apartment, Abby has just told Ricky everything that happened in the courtroom. “How do you know that he really did it?” Ricky asks. “I mean, he could have been lying to help Victoria, but what if he’s not?” Abby replies, “Then I have a half-brother and he’ll never get to know his real father because of what my other dad did.” “That’s messed up,” Ricky says, shaking his head, “but that’s exactly what I’m going through right now too.” Abby looks confused. “How so?” she asks. “Well, not with my dad,” Ricky clarifies, “With my mother. I found out why she hasn’t been in my life… she is locked up somewhere in some psych ward, and my dad refuses to let me see her.”

“No offense, but there seems to be a history of mental illness in your family,” Abby comments, “with your aunt and all.” “Or maybe we just know what we want and don’t stop until we get it,” Ricky defends his mother and aunt, “Don’t tell me there’s nothing you wouldn’t feel that way about… or no one.” He leans in closer.

Scene 6

After the others have already left the courthouse, Phyllis remains outside of the courtroom. She’s just tried to call Nick again and there was no answer. She dials another number.

“Is my husband there?” Phyllis demands. “No, he’s not, Phyllis,” Sharon answers. “Oh, well, I just thought, normally when he gets distracted, it usually has something to do with you…,” Phyllis states. “Actually, I’ve been trying to get a hold of Nick myself,” Sharon informs Phyllis. “I’m sure you have,” Phyllis comments, “You just can’t leave him alone, can you?”

Daniel Romalotti, Jr. emerges from Sharon’s ensuite bathroom, still dripping wet and wearing only a towel. He just got out of the shower. “Okay, your turn,” he says loudly, not realizing Sharon is on the phone… with his mother. “It’s your mom,” Sharon whispers to Daniel. “Is that Daniel’s voice I hear?” Phyllis asks. “Um, yes,” Sharon confirms nervously, “Daniel is over here… visiting with Noah.” Daniel gives her a thumbs up for covering. “Oh, that… that’s great,” Phyllis responds, sounding very fake, “That’s wonderful…. Um, has Noah talked to his father at all today?” “No, he hasn’t,” Sharon says. “Okay, well, listen… I would really like to get a hold of my husband,” Phyllis speaks in a very condescending tone, “so if he happens to call you or come by the Ranch, please tell him to call me.” “Okay, Phyllis,” Sharon replies in an agitated tone, “Bye.” She hangs up.

Back at the Courthouse, Phyllis is clearly distressed. “Nick, where are you?” she says aloud.

Scene 7

Meanwhile, Daniel and Sharon are still in Sharon’s bedroom. “I gathered all your clothes up and put them in a pile over there,” Sharon points out. “Thanks,” Daniel says softly. “I’m gonna go in the shower now,” Sharon announces, “so you can have some privacy to get dressed…”

Scene 8

Back at the Williams’ Apartment, Ricky takes advantage of being alone with Abby, and decides to put the moves on her. “You know, I’ve been thinking about how close we got back at the pool party,” he says, “I haven’t seen much of you lately. Maybe we can pick up where we left off?” He leans in to kiss her, expecting her to respond the same way she did at the party, when she had initiated the kiss.

This time, Abby pulls away. “You’re a great guy, Ricky,” she tells him, “I just, I can’t do this. I’m sorry.” “Why not?” Ricky asks, confused. “I’m not over Ryder… and I would just end up hurting you if I pretended I am,” Abby rationalizes, “We just got carried away for a few minutes. We were upset about our parents and we don’t want to do anything we’ll regret later.” Ricky calms down. “Yeah, you’re right…,” he agrees. “I gotta go,” Abby suddenly announces, “Thanks for the talk…” She heads out the door in a hurry.

Scene 9

Paul joins JT at the hospital. “Thanks for coming,” JT begins, “I didn’t know who else to call…” “I’m glad you came to me,” Paul tells him, “Sorry I missed the hearing. I wanted to be there, but I’ve had nothing but problems with Ricky lately.” “I thought things were going well,” JT comments. “Yeah, until he started to look into his mother and he found the newspaper archives about how she faked her murder and tried to kill Christine,” Paul reveals. “Well, at least you know he got the investigative gene from you,” JT says. “A chip off the old block, right?” Paul says with a grin, “That’s what I’m afraid of…”

Scene 10

Ricky holds up a business card for a psychiatric institution. “If Aunt Patty is at Walworth, why would you have a card for a place in California?” he asks aloud. He dials the number and a woman answers the phone. “Yes, I’m calling about a patient of yours,” Ricky says, “Isabella Williams, or it might be listed under Isabella Brana?” “We do have an Isabella Brana committed here,” the lady confirms. “She is there?” Ricky says aloud, still in disbelief that he tracked down his mother, “Is she allowed visitors?” “Yes, but no one’s come by to visit her in years,” the lady tells him, “Even her parents have stopped coming.” “Tell her someone will be by really soon to see her,” Ricky replies. “Who am I speaking to?” the lady wonders. “Her son,” Ricky answers.

Scene 11

Victoria and Billy Abbott have returned to Billy’s trailer. “I cannot believe my father!” Victoria vents, “That was his idea of help? You’ve gotta be kidding me. He probably hurt me case even more. Because now the judge will know that everything JT said about him is true!” “That’s Victor for you…,” Billy says, “Always playing with everyone’s lives. Never caring who he hurts… even if it’s his own daughter and grandson.”

Scene 12

Paul joins Jill in the waiting room of the hospital. “You look much too young to be a grandmother,” he begins. Jill smiles. “Why, thank you,” she laughs, “You know, you’re exactly right… I still consider Cane to be my son. And I do consider the twins my grandchildren, even though we’re not related by blood. But biology still counts for something, doesn’t it?” “Of course it does,” Paul agrees. “I guess I just have to accept that I’ll never have answers to the most important questions in my life… who am I really? Why did my parents give me away?”

“I wish there was more I could have done,” Paul replies sympathetically. “You did your best,” Jill says as she turns to walk away.

“Jill?” Paul suddenly calls out without thinking. “Yes?” she turns back. Paul changes his mind. “Nothing…,” he says, “I just, I thought Eileen would have… well,…” “What?” Jill prompts him to tell her what he was going to say. “I thought things would have worked out differently for you two, that’s all,” Paul continues. “I hoped so too,” Jill admits, “But she wasn’t my mother. She was just another dead end…” She walks away.

“That’s where you’re wrong,” Paul whispers aloud, “I just wish I could tell you that…”

Scene 13

Sharon emerges from her bedroom after getting dressed and blowdrying her hair. Daniel is sitting in the hallway outside of her room. “You’re still here?” she comments. “Yeah, I mean, I hope that’s not a problem,” Daniel replies. “No, it’s fine,” Sharon tells him, “I just, I wasn’t expecting you to stay around.” “Well, I didn’t want to just leave without saying anything,” Daniel says softly, “I’m sorry… about before. I didn’t mean for things to go that far…” “It’s okay,” Sharon says. “Are you sure?” Daniel asks. “Yeah, I’m the one that started it,” Sharon admits. “No, it’s been building up for a long time,” Daniel tells her, “I think we both know that, even if we didn’t want to acknowledge it.”

Sharon nods. “Well, we can’t,” she decides, “Not ever again.” “I know,” Daniel agrees, “I mean, you’re Noah’s mom!” “No one can ever find out what happened between us,” Sharon insists. “I know,” Daniel says again.

“What’s going on out here?” a voice asks. Sharon and Daniel turn to see Noah Newman.

Scene 14

Phyllis is in the courthouse parking lot, about to leave. She notices Nick’s car in the parking lot and takes a moment to stare at it.

Roseanne Ryerson is behind her. “Is everything okay?” she asks Phyllis. “You remember my husband, right? Nick Newman?” Phyllis inquires. “Yes,” Roseanne nods. “You didn’t happen to see him here, at the Courthouse today, did you?” Phyllis follows up. “No, I haven’t seen him at all…,” Roseanne lies. “Thanks,” Phyllis replies. “Sure,” Roseanne says as she starts to walk off. She turns back to Phyllis. “I’m sure everything will work itself out,” she tells Phyllis. “I hope so,” Phyllis comments.

Scene 15

At the hospital, JT has just told Paul everything that went down at the custody hearing. “So Victor claims now that Reed is really Brad’s son?” Paul clarifies, astonished by what JT has told him, “Unbelievable… and convenient timing, wouldn’t you say?” JT nods. “I’m gonna do the DNA test today while I’m here so that we can end this once and for all,” he announces.

Suddenly, Nikki approaches JT and Paul. “JT, I just want you to know that, what Victor did, I think it’s appalling,” she offers her support. “If he did it…,” JT adds, still holding onto some hope that Victor was lying. Nikki frowns. “JT…,” she says, “Remember when Victoria was in her coma, it was you and Victor against me and Brad. You and Victor wanted to save Victoria; Brad was helping me fight to save Reed, as heartbreaking as it was for me.” “So you think that Victor initially did this to discount Brad’s testimony and help his own case?” Paul questions.

“That could have been part of it,” Nikki admits, “But Victor hated Brad. I don’t think he needed much more reason than that…” “So you think Victor really did it?” JT questions, “You think he changed the results and that I’m not really Reed’s father?” “I do,” Nikki confirms, a sympathetic tone to her voice.

Scene 16

Ricky has just packed a backpack and is in the process of printing a plane ticket back to California off the computer.

Scene 17

Paul approaches Nikki in the hospital waiting room. “Don’t you tell me ‘I told you so’ about Victor, please,” Nikki requests. “There’s nothing I can tell you about Victor that you don’t already know,” Paul says.

“I am so furious with him!” Nikki vents, “It just makes me think… can I really trust him? I mean, he never learns… Look at how he kept his involvement with Patty secret for months, even when he knew that she was starting to unravel. And to think that he’s kept this secret about Reed’s paternity secret for years, never once hinted about anything like this, it makes me wonder…” “What other secrets he might be keeping,” Paul finishes her sentence. “Mmhmm,” Nikki nods.

Scene 18

Daniel and Sharon react to Noah seeing them together in the hallway. “Noah… I told you to stay in your room,” Sharon reminds her son. She’s clearly jittery. “I heard voices,” Noah defends himself, “I wanted to know who was here.” “Well, now that you know, you can go back in your room,” Sharon orders, “Don’t forget you’re still grounded.” “Um, we’ll catch up later,” Daniel tells his step-brother.

“Why is your hair all wet?” Noah asks. “Oh, um, there was wet snow when I was outside,” Daniel quickly makes something up. “I didn’t see anything,” Noah comments, “I just looked out my window a few minutes ago.” “Yeah, well, it was just over just as soon as it started,” Daniel replies, perhaps speaking of his fling with Sharon. There seems to be a hint of anger in his voice.

Scene 19

Michael exits the courthouse and notices Phyllis in the parking lot. “What are you doing still here?” he asks. “This is Nick’s car…,” Phyllis points out, “He never came into the courthouse.” “You don’t think something happened to him?” Michael questions. “That’s what all signs are pointing to,” Phyllis reveals, a level of panic in her voice, “Nick got to the courthouse, but he never came inside. His car is here; he isn’t. And if he had to leave, he would have notified someone.” “So no one has heard from him?” Michael asks. Phyllis shakes her head. “No one has heard from him all day,” she says, “Not Sharon; not Noah. And today is a day that he would want to visit them.” “What’s today?” Michael asks. “Cassie’s birthday,” Phyllis answers. “Oh,” Michael remarks. “Yeah,” Phyllis says. “So maybe Nick just started thinking about Cassie and he decided to take a walk, you know, for some alone time,” Michael theorizes. “Or maybe something happened to him,” Phyllis returns to her worst fear, “Don’t forget, I’ve been being terrorized for months. Maybe whoever has been after me decided to hurt my husband.” Michael has an idea. “Wait a minute, Phyllis!” he says, “All of the things that have been happening to you are connected to your past, right? So have you ever done anything like this before?” “You mean, have I ever kidnapped anyone before?” Phyllis clarifies. “Yes,” Michael says. Phyllis has a realization. “Oh my God. Of course, I have, Michael,” she says, Remember that time that I had you kidnapped…”

Scene 20

Jill approaches Katherine and Nikki, who are talking in the hospital waiting room. “For heaven’s sakes, has anyone called Lily and Neil?” Katherine asks Nikki. “Of course, we did,” Nikki answers, “They’re on their way.”

“You can leave now, Nikki,” Jill says very rudely, “This is for family only.” “Oh, nonsense, Jill, I want Nikki here,” Katherine defends her friend, “Now if it hadn’t been for her, you wouldn’t have even known that Mackenzie was in the hospital giving birth to your grandchildren. Is that any way to treat her?”

“No, it’s alright. I’ll leave,” Nikki agrees, “I just wanted to know that Mackenzie and JT were okay. Now, I have my own family that I need to be with…” “Well, don’t let us keep you,” Jill comments. Katherine gives her another warning look before proceeding to hug Nikki. “Call me later,” she tells her friend. “I will,” Nikki agrees. As she walks off, she and Jill exchange glances.

Once Nikki is out of sight, Katherine turns to Jill. “What the hell is wrong with you?” she chastises her. “Katherine, I know how you feel about that woman,” Jill answers, “but believe me, I will never feel anything but contempt for her…”

Scene 21

Elsewhere in the waiting room, JT rejoins Paul. “I just talked to the doctors,” he announces, “Mac had the babies. They’re all okay.” “That’s a relief,” Paul says. “Yeah, at least something went right,” JT continues, “I’m telling you, Paul, I couldn’t take it if something else went wrong.”

Just then, JT’s cell phone rings. “JT Hellstrom…,” he answers the call. The caller’s voice cannot be heard, but it’s clearly bad news. “What!?” JT exclaims, “Come on… No, this can’t be happening.” He’s in distress. “JT!?” Paul rushes over to him.

Scene 22

Nikki arrives at Victoria’s. Billy answers the door and lets Nikki inside. Victoria, who has been crying on the couch, rushes over to her mother and gives her a hug. “Oh, mom…,” she whispers. “I know, baby,” Nikki comforts her daughter, “I know it’s hard, but everything’s gonna be alright.”

Scene 23

Victor arrives back at the Main House on the Newman Ranch. He slams the front door and walks into the living room. “Abby?” he calls out. Sharon comes downstairs. “Victor… you’re back already?” she gasps, “How did the hearing go?”

Victor ignores the question. “Is Abby here?” he inquires, “I want to talk to her.” “No, she hasn’t been home,” Sharon answers. “Noah?” Victor follows up. “He’s upstairs,” Sharon replies, “He’s grounded, though.” “I need him to call Abby,” Victor explains, “She bolted out of the courtroom so fast… she won’t answer her phone… I need to know where she is…” Sharon senses his concern. “What happened in court?” she asks, “Is everything okay?” “That’s what I have to find out…,” Victor tells her.

Scene 24

Abby arrives at a run-down motel and knocks on one of the doors. Ryder Callahan answers. Before he can say anything, Abby hugs him. “I need you right now…,” she cries, “Just as a friend. Can I come in?” “Okay…,” Ryder agrees. As Abby comes inside, Ryder closes the door, leaving her alone with him in his motel room…
