Victor: I asked you a question. What the hell is this? Mary Jane: How dare you break into my room? Victor: I pay for this room. What are you doing with pictures of Phyllis and Sharon in here? Mary Jane: It's nothing. It's just a silly positive reinforcement thing I do. It helps me concentrate on the prize. Victor: I don't believe you. Mary Jane: Fine. Suit yourself. Why are you here? Victor: I'm here to make sure that you understood what I asked you to do-- to focus on Jack Abbott and stay the hell away from my family. Mary Jane: Message received. I heard it loud and clear the first time. Victor: Apparently not loudly and clearly enough. Mary Jane: You stop that! Stop! You have no right. Victor: Now you get out of Genoa City. You got that? [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: You would have loved your big sister. You were her gift to us, to Nicholas and me. Oh, Nick. Did I make a mistake telling Jack he's the baby's father? [Sharon remembering] Phyllis: (Sighs) You shouldn't have to go through this at all. You shouldn't have to go through this. Nick: Neither should you. You're not going anywhere, and neither am I. Phyllis, I gotta do this, okay? I have to. If I don't, I'll be lost inside. I might as well be dead. I don't think I could come back from this again if I don't. Not this time. [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: No, it was right. Nick needs to stay with Phyllis and look after Summer. This just affects so many people. [SCENE_BREAK] Ashley: Daddy-to-be. Jack: Oh, yeah, that's old news now. Ashley: Who would have thought that we'd raise our children together? Can you believe this? Jack: Oh, they'll each have someone to commiserate with. Ashley: Maybe yours will. Do you know how exciting this is? Jack: Oh. Ashley: (Laughs) Jack: I am just so thrilled, I cannot tell you. I have been an absent father with Kyle and with Keemo, and I am so happy for a chance to do it right this time. [Adam listening in] Adam: The last thing the world needs is another spawn of Jack Abbott. Ashley: Well, don't mess it up. Jack: No, this baby is my first priority. Hey, you in there. I don't know if you have ears yet. Could--if--if you can hear me, this is Uncle Jack, and let me tell you, you did something right. You hit the mother lode, so to speak. Ashley: Oh, that's sweet. Jack: Seriously, how you two doing? Ashley: I'm fine. She's awfully quiet lately. Jack: Well, she's resting and getting stronger. [Adam remembering] Adam: Oh, my God. The baby. What the hell have I done? [SCENE_BREAK] Ashley: We're going to have so much fun being parents together. Jack: Oh, yeah. Joint birthday parties. Ashley: You do realize that these two babies have practically the same exact due date? [Adam thinking about that] [SCENE_BREAK] Victoria: Hi, Mom. Nikki: Hi, Honey. Where's Nicholas? Victoria: He's with Phyllis getting some rest. I said I'd stay till you and Dad got back. I was just telling Summer how Reed learned how to say her name. Mom? You okay? Nikki: Sorry, um, I just saw the oddest thing. I have to tell somebody. Promise me that you won't tell your father or Nicholas. Victoria: Okay. Nikki: I was at the ranch getting a change of clothes for Victor, and I couldn't find them. So I thought maybe Adam might know, and his door to his room was open a little bit. I-I wasn't snooping, but, um, I saw something. Victoria: What? What is it? Nikki: I saw Rafe and Adam together kissing. [SCENE_BREAK] Amber: Hurry up! Quick, turn on the radio. Kevin's on that crazy "Dawn Patrol" show. Kevin: What? Amber: Yeah. Kevin: You can live in fear, keep running from the monsters in your head... (Groans) Oh, God. But it's only gonna make you hate yourself more. Hey, trust me. I know. That's what I was about most of my life. But if you bring it, right? If you stand up to the silver chipmunk and kick his furry little butt, you are gonna be unstoppable. Man: Absolutely. This Kevin Fisher dude's the most talked about rodent in town. More on other local heroes after this message. Jana: (Laughs) Kevin: That, uh... (Clears throat) That was the speech I gave at G.C. High. Jana: Oh, my God, Eden says that this crazy chipmunk club is the hottest thing in school right now. Amber: You know, props to you for taking the worst experience of your life and making lemonade. Kevin: Well, I couldn't have done it without you guys. Right, Bro? Daniel: Damn it. Kevin: What? Daniel: I think you swiped Balfour's cell from the evidence box for nothing. I can't access the contact list or the call log. I'm not getting any service on this thing. Amber: What? Is the battery dead? Daniel: I don't know. I think the guy didn't pay is bill or something. I'm-- I'm telling you. One of the contacts in here was the killer. I just know it. Kevin: (Sighs) Let me see. Jana: Well, who are you phoning? Kevin: The phone company. Hello. Hi. Hi. Um, my name is Thomas Balfour. I'm calling from a friend's phone 'cause there's something wrong with my service. Yeah, I can hold. Daniel: What if this doesn't work? Kevin: Dude, positive thoughts. Daniel: Well, this is kind of my last lead. [SCENE_BREAK] Man: Staring at that forgery won't make it real. Man: Kid did a pretty good job. Man: Gotta look hard to realize it's not the real Terroni. I mean, I should know. Painting was hanging in my house-- Man: I know. You told me a thousand times you saw it hanging on your old man's wall. Man: Best art thief in the world. Man: (Chuckles) Kiddo, your old man was a terrible art thief. Guy stole a world-class painting and couldn't even fence it. Man: He would have been a legitimate dealer like you if he'd had the kind of cash you do. Man: Is that so? Man: So what's our plan for today? Man: The same as since we got here. Get rid of Daniel Romalotti. [SCENE_BREAK] Ashley: How's it going with Sharon and you now that she's pregnant with your baby? Jack: Are you asking if we're back together? Ashley: Yes, I am. Are you? Jack: Uh, Sharon wants to remain independent, though we have both committed to raising this child together. Ashley: Ew. That sounds like that could be very difficult. Jack: You know what? I'm fairly optimistic about the whole thing. Ashley: Okay, well, I hope you get everything you want out of the situation. How's that? Jack: Thanks. I appreciate that. How are things going for you around here? Ashley: A lot less stressful now that Estella's out of the picture. And Victor's wonderful. What can I say? Jack: And Adam? Has he been wonderful, too? Ashley: Could you just shut up? Could you give him a break? Are you aware of what that man's been through? Jack: I cannot believe you are buying that act. Ashley: I'm not that gullible, Jackie. I thought, briefly, but I did think that maybe he was the one gas lighting me until all the evidence against Estella came up and two doctors confirmed Adam's blindness. Adam: Did I hear my name? Ashley: Hi, uh, yeah. Jack's here, Adam. Jack: Yeah, I was just leaving. Adam: Was it something I said? Jack: Actually, not everything's about you, Adam. Ashley: You two, knock it off. Come on. Can you see yourself out? I'm gonna go take a nap. Jack: All right. You hang in there, okay? Ashley: Mm-hmm. Jack: I'll call. Ashley: Great. I am so happy for you. Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ashley: Daddy-to-be. Adam: So I hear congratulations are in order. Jack: Oh, Ashley's gone. You can stop making nice. Adam: Haven't your heard? I'm a nice guy now. Jack: I ain't buying. In fact, I'm sure you can't stand the sight of me. Adam: That's a little harsh, don't you think? Jack: You hate the fact that you were rotting in jail while I got off scot- free for forging Victor's diary. Adam: Come on, Jack. I'm trying to let bygones be bygones. Jack: Uh, sorry. I ain't buying. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that you were hatching a plan right now to pay me back. Adam: As if I could orchestrate something like that in the condition that I am in. Jack: Oh, I'm confident you could pull it off. Let me warn you of something, though. Do not try to come at me through my family. You understand that? That especially goes for my sister Ashley. Adam: Ashley? Jack: She's living in the same house as you, and she's very vulnerable. Adam: No need to worry. I've got her back. Jack: It's what you're doing behind it that concerns me. I mean it, Adam. Anything happens to Ashley, any sense that you are back to your old tricks, you're gonna lose a lot more than your eyesight. [SCENE_BREAK] Victoria: (Whispering) Adam and Rafe were kissing? Nikki: (Whispering) I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Victoria: I never thought that he was-- I never thought he was gay. (Gasps) Oh, imagine if Dad found out. Nikki: (Sighs) Well, your father is all for diversity, except when it comes to his own family. Victoria: No, when it comes to his own family, he has certain ideals. I mean, we need to be strong and successful and married with at least two children. Nikki: Yeah, preferably one of them male. Victoria: I mean, God forbid if that boy develops into anything other than Dad's image. (Chuckles) Nikki: I think it explains so much about Adam. I mean, now I get it, you know? He--he always keeps people at a distance. He doesn't let any of us get close to him. Victoria: Yeah, well, it doesn't mean that he still isn't a vindictive lowlife who tried to frame Dad for murder. Nikki: Oh, I'm not excusing him for his behavior. I'm just saying, I mean, can you blame him? (Scoffs) Especially being Victor Newman's son, the pressure that he must be under. I mean, look at Nicholas. He has suffered trying to live up to your father's expectations, and it's still not enough for Victor. [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: Uh, great. No, I think that'll do it. Okay. You, too. Bye. Well, the phone'll be on in a second. Daniel: You, my friend, are a genius. Jana: Yep, that's my husband. Amber: Um, I'm still not sure this is a good idea. Daniel: And do you have a better idea? I mean, the feds, they aren't doing Jack to find the real killer. Amber: Well, what if the killer comes after you again? Daniel: Well, I do have my cloak of invisibility and my magic shield. Amber: Daniel. Daniel: Oh, look, I just want a chance to clear my name, all right? I promise I'm not gonna go all vigilante. Amber: Okay, fine. At least just call Michael before you do anything. Daniel: I will be careful. I promise. Look, it's on. It's on. Can I have a paper, pen, please? Amber: Oh, oh, oh, Jana: (Gasps) Oh, my God! Your chipmunk speech is on Viewclick. Kevin: Throw off that mental straitjacket. Rev up your psychic metabolism. Jana: (Chuckles) Kevin: I mean, sure, you feel trapped, but there is always, always an escape hatch. Jana: Look at that. It's one of the top ten most viewed videos. Kevin: Who knew a speech I gave to a bunch of high school kids would become such a big deal? Jana: Well, you've got a really important message to share, my love. Kevin: Well. (Cell phone rings) Daniel: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Kevin: Someone's calling a dead guy. Amber: Do not answer it. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: My security man is going to help you pack your things. Mary Jane: It isn't necessary. Victor: He will take you to the airport, make sure you get on the plane, okay? Mary Jane: You know, I may have strayed from the plan a little, but I have Jack clearly in my sights now, and I am so close-- so close, Victor. I just need a little more time. Victor: I'm tired of your B.S. I had you have plastic surgery. I remade you with the understanding that you would focus on Jack Abbott and get his ass, okay? You didn't do that. You blew it. Now you'll not have that opportunity again. You got that? Mary Jane: Yes, I will. And I can. I just need another chance. Victor: Now I'll keep up my end of the bargain. I'm sending money to your account. When you land in Rio de Janeiro, you can access it. You got it? Mary Jane: Brazil? Victor, please don't do this. Victor: Are you out of your mind? Mary Jane: Don't do this. Victor: Are you out of your mind?! What the hell are you doing with a stuffed cat, the photos of my family in here? What the hell is going on with you? Mary Jane: I let my emotions get the best of me. It won't happen again. Victor: You're crazy. You'll be well provided for, okay? You're a beautiful woman now. You'll have a hell of a time in Rio. Don't worry about a thing. Mary Jane: And if I refuse, Victor? Victor: I wouldn't contemplate that if I were you. You get the hell out of this town. I'll have my security guy come up and help you pack. And don't you ever set foot in Genoa City again. (Door opens) (Door slams shut) [SCENE_BREAK] Amber: Do not answer that, Daniel. Kevin: Uh, give me the number. I'll find the address. Daniel: It's this one right here. What--what-- what if this is a clue to who killed Balfour? Amber: No, no, no, no, no. Daniel: Hello? Hello? Who is this? Man: What number did you dial? Man: It was on speed dial. Man: Hi, who is this? Daniel: You called me. Who is this? Hello? Hello? Kevin: I got the address. Man: You hit the wrong speed dial button, genius. You called Balfour. Man: I'm sorry. My bad. Man: Not as sorry as you're going to be if we don't clear our asses out of here right now. Get the painting off the wall and give it to me. Man: I want you to take anything that can identify us in this office now. [One of the guys drops a photo] [SCENE_BREAK] Victoria: You know, I'm wondering if Heather knows. She's been with Adam off and on for over a year. Nikki: I don't give a damn about Heather after what she's done to Phyllis and Nicholas, keeping them away from their daughter, but what about Rafe? I mean, he's handling Estella's case. What if he's betraying his aunt? What if Adam is using him? Victoria: Knowing Adam, that's entirely possible. Nikki: I need to talk to Victor. Victoria: Gonna out Adam to Dad? Nikki: I just have to make sure that Estella's interests are represented. The truth is always the best, including Adam. Victoria: I'm not sure he's gonna see it that way, Mom. Nikki: Well, there's your father. Victor: How's she doing? Victoria: (Sighs) No change. But the doctor says we should keep talking to her. Nikki: We talked to you when you were in a coma. We talked and talked and talked. We read to you. J.T. played your favorite music. And your father read you the paper every day. Victor: Mm. Victoria: Well, thank God, you guys. Thank God you didn't give up on me. Victor: No, my sweetheart. We stood by you. Victoria: That's why we have to fight for Summer, okay? She's counting on us, so we've gotta be there for her. We've gotta be there for her until Nick and Phyllis can get back and be with their baby. Victor: Okay. Nikki: Honey, that's what we're doing. Victoria: Okay. Victor: Why don't you and I go inside and keep her company, okay? Nikki: I'll be there in a minute. Hey, Heather. What are you doing here? Heather: Look, I-I don't want to argue with you, okay? I-I-I need to ask Phyllis and Nick just a few more questions. Nikki: They went home for some rest. Heather: Okay, great. I will stop by later then. Nikki: Wait. Hold--hold on just a minute. Um, before you go, I-I'd like to ask you something. Heather: What? Nikki: Well, um, we're doing this piece for the magazine about a court case. I-I wanted to get your professional opinion. Heather: So you can quote me out of context and embarrass me? Nikki: (Sighs) Heather. No, this is completely off the record. Heather: Okay. Nikki: There's a case where the defendant's lawyer might be romantically involved with one of the other suspects. If you had knowledge of that, what would you do? Heather: Well, as a lawyer and as an officer of the court, I, um, I'd play by the book, obviously. Legally, I'm required to report any impropriety. Ethically, if you're privy to that information, you should, too. Nikki: But I'm not an officer of the court, so would revealing that relationship cause any harm? Heather: Well, if it does, then the lawyer is getting what he or she deserves. Nikki: Even if it would harm the families or the suspect? Heather: You know, I-I can't really advise you without knowing all the details, um, but I would say that being open with information is generally the best policy. Nikki: Okay, thanks. Heather: Okay, you're welcome. [SCENE_BREAK] Victoria: "Then they chopped down the beanstalk, and the giant fell to earth, and Jacqueline gave her mother the goose that laid the golden eggs. And they all lived happily ever after. The end." Victor: "Jacqueline and the beanstalk." Victoria: Yeah, I found it in the bookstore-- "Fairy tales with a twist." Victor: (Chuckles) Victoria: I wanted to read "Charlotte's Web," but, uh, I was afraid it was gonna make me cry. Victor: Didn't make you cry when I read it to you when you were a child. Victoria: Well, I guess I'm making up for it now, Dad. Victor: (Chuckles) Victoria: (Laughs) Victor: Are you okay, Sweetheart? You seem a little... Victoria: Um, I'm a little emotional. Victor: Mm-hmm. Victoria: Yeah, Dad, I'm fine. I just--I have a lot to be happy about, you know? Victor: Mm-hmm. Victoria: I-I have a-a wonderful husband and a baby that I adore. Victor: Mm-hmm. Victoria: And I have a great job and I've really immersed myself in Sabrina's charity... Victor: Mm-hmm. Victoria: Thanks to you. Oh, and I even managed to locate some of the artworks that you sold off. Victor: You did? Good. Victoria: Yeah, I meeting with this art dealer from Los Angeles today. Victor: Wow. Victoria: I wish I didn't have to, but, you know, Dad, he's only in town for a short while, so-- Victor: You go ahead. You do that. You do that. Your mother and I will take care of Summer, okay? Victoria: Okay, Daddy. (Sighs) Victor: Love you, okay? Victoria: All right, Sweetie, I'm gonna go, but I'll be right back. I wish you'd wake up. Reed misses you. We all miss you. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: Normally, my sister Ashley handles fragrances, but she's taken a leave of absence. If I could have a chance to consult with the lab, though, I think-- Mary Jane: Hello, Jack. I'm sorry for interrupting. Jack: Uh, Mary Jane Benson. Owen Hoyt. Mary Jane: Nice to meet you. Uh, I need to speak with you in private. Jack: Could this wait till after our meeting? Mary Jane: No. No. It's urgent. Jack: Please excuse me for a second. Jack: What is going on? Mary Jane: I'm leaving town. Jack: For how long? Mary Jane: I don't know when I'll be back. Jack: What, you're resigning from Jabot? Mary Jane: It's short notice. I'm sorry. I-it's unavoidable. Jack: What is going on? Mary Jane: Um, something personal has come up, and I wanted to see you before I left. Jack: Have you been lying to me all along? Mary Jane: Lying? Jack: Are you married? You have a husband? Mary Jane: No. No. I-it's nothing like that. Jack: What? Mary Jane: (Clears throat) I don't want to leave, but I have to, and what's important is that you know our time together-- how much it's meant to me. Jack: Well, I enjoyed it, too. Mary Jane: And I didn't want to leave without telling you how I feel, okay? (Sighs) I'm in love with you. And I knew the moment we were together we were meant for each other. I love you with all my heart. Jack: I-I don't know what to say. Mary Jane: Well, you must have known I had feelings for you. Jack: Listen, I-I'm flattered. I am. Mary Jane: Flattered? I said I love you. How do you feel about me? Jack: You're a beautiful, creative, intelligent woman, and-- Mary Jane: I get it. You, um... you used me for pleasure, and now you're throwing me away. Jack: No. We talked about this. We said no expectations. Mary Jane: I know. But we had something real, something real between us. Jack: I'm sorry. Mary Jane: Are you? Jack: Mary Jane, Sharon and I are expecting a child. Mary Jane: You're not even together. Jack: I'm hoping with time, we can reconcile. Mary Jane: You don't get it, do you? It's never going to happen. She doesn't love you, Jack. She never did. She loves Nick. Jack: Regardless, you and I have nothing to build on here. I don't want to lead you on. Mary Jane: But you did. (Sighs) You did. (Sobs) You deliberately made me have feelings for you. Jack: No, I was clear from the start. Mary Jane: (Sighs) Okay. Okay. You deny it if you'd like, but you love me. I know. Maybe you don't realize it now, but you will. (Sobs) [SCENE_BREAK] Adam: Did you have a nice nap? Ashley: Yeah. Yeah, I did. Adam: I, uh, spoke with Jack briefly after you went upstairs. He seems pretty excited about, uh, being the father of Sharon's baby. Ashley: Yeah, isn't it wonderful? Our children are gon-gonna be born around the same time, which means that his baby and our baby, Hope, are gonna grow up together. Adam: Uh, Hope? You're naming the baby after my mother? Ashley: Do you mind? Adam: Uh, mind? I'm, um, blown away. Ashley: Hey, Adam? Adam: Yes? Ashley: Never mind. Adam: No, something's-- something's wrong. I can-- I can hear it in your voice. What's going on? Ashley: Just promise me you're not gonna freak out, okay? I mean, it's probably nothing. Adam: Okay, I promise. Ashley: Okay, it's awful. I-I can hardly even say it, but I really haven't felt the baby kick for quite a while now. [SCENE_BREAK] (Door squeaks) (Loud noise) Amber: You! Ahh! Daniel: What are you doing here? Amber: Following you. Why'd you sneak out of Crimson Lights? Daniel: I didn't want you following me. Amber: Well, you promised you wouldn't do anything dangerous. Daniel: Does this look dangerous? Amber: Well, you know, it--it could have been. I mean, you got lucky. Whoever was here just left. Daniel: How do you know? Amber: Because the ice hasn't even melted. Daniel: That's great. You're getting fingerprints all over it. Can you wipe it off? Amber: Will you please just call Michael, tell him what's going on, get the police involved? Daniel: What are we gonna say to him? That we stole a dead guy's cell phone from an evidence locker at the police station and that it led us here? Amber: Okay, what if that someone comes? Let's go. Daniel: No, no, no, no, no. We're already here. Let's just look around. Just don't touch anything. Don't get fingerprints on anything. Amber: Okay, fine. Did you find something? Daniel: Yeah, it's a flash drive. It says, "Photos." Amber: Photos of what? Daniel: How am I supposed to know? I'll download it to my computer. Amber: (Sighs) [Amber picks up the photo of the painting off the floor] Amber: Daniel? You gotta see this. [SCENE_BREAK] Jana: You know, I really think you should consider giving more silver chipmunk talks. Kevin: (Chuckles) I don't know. Jana: Why not? You were a smash at Murphy's lodge. Kevin: Yeah, because Murphy probably told those guys to go easy on me. Jana: What? Look, I was there, okay. I saw with my own eyes, and those people were very responsive towards you. Kevin: Mm, maybe. Jana: Oh, come on, Kev. You've got a great message to share here. Kevin: Yeah, in between slinging half-caf mochaccino lattes. Jana: Well, you could find the time. Kevin: (Sighs) Well, look, even if I did, people would eventually figure me out, realize that I'm just a loser. Jana: Hey, don't you talk about my husband that way. Kevin: Well, your husband is also a hypocrite. Woman: You're the silver chipmunk, aren't you? (Giggles) Kevin: Uh, yeah. Yeah, that's me. Woman: I'm the president of the C.C.C. at the G.C.U. (Giggles) Kevin: Uh, the who? The what now? Jana: Oh, the crazy chipmunk club. Woman: Yeah, we voted to give this money to you. Kevin: What? What--what for? Woman: To keep the mission going. Spread the word to stand up to your inner chipmunk. (Giggles) Kevin: Thanks. (Chuckles) There's over $200 in here. Jana: Okay, you know you can't keep that money, right? Kevin: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Weren't you just saying that I need to do more with the chipmunk talks? Well, money is a very good motivator. You know, I could start my own line of--of lunch boxes and key chains, even silver chipmunk bobbleheads. What do you say? Jana: I will take that. Kevin: No. Jana: I will take it. Kevin: Hey, now, come on. Jana: Well, no, for safekeeping. And we'll just return it later. Kevin: (Scoffs) They want me to have the money. Jana: Okay, Kev, you are completely missing the point, my love, all right? Greed is only going to lead to more problems. Kevin: But... n--there--there is something fundamentally wrong about giving that money back. Jana: Yeah, I know, it's just you need to help people, not take advantage of them. Come on. Kevin: Its 200 bucks. [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: I just saw Mary Jane go running out of here in tears. Jack: You warned me. She was a lot more attached than I thought. Sharon: Oh, you should have seen that, Jack. Jack: Hey, come on. We had an understanding. Two adults having fun. Sharon: She was probably just playing along with you because that's what she thought you wanted. Jack: I never wanted anything serious with her or any other woman. The only woman I am interested in is the woman carrying my child. I love you. I never stopped loving you. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: "There's none so rare as can compare with King Cole and his fiddlers three." I used to read that rhyme to Victoria when she was your age. Nikki: Is there any change? Victor: (Sighs) Nikki: Well, the world is full of miracles. You and I know that better than anyone. Have you noticed that Victoria's been a little moody lately? Victor: Yeah, I spoke to her about it. Doesn't concern me. Nikki: Well, I stopped by the ranch and got you a change of clothes. Victor: Thank you. Nikki: I saw Adam. I think there's something you should know. [SCENE_BREAK] Adam: I can understand how you might be worried if the baby isn't moving very much. Ashley: But when I was pregnant with Abby, she was so active. She was just all over the place. Adam: But, uh, I mean, you-- you had a checkup with Dr. Taylor a few days ago, right? Ashley: Yeah, I did. Adam: Well, what-- what'd he say? Ashley: He said the baby's fine. Adam: Did you... (Clears throat) Tell him you were concerned? Ashley: No. You know, it was weird. I was kind of afraid to. Adam: You know, I-I-I think maybe it's just your nerves getting the best of you. You know, you're-- you're stressing out. That can't be good for you or the--or the baby. Why don't you, uh, why don't you put your feet up, and I'll --I'll make some tea. Ashley: Now, Adam, I-I know you mean well, but you sound a little patronizing, and I really don't need that. What I think I need is to see a sonogram, so I can make sure my baby's okay. Adam: Um, sure. I mean, I can make the call myself. Call Dr. Taylor, set it all up. Ashley: Would you? That would be great, and I want to make sure Victor's there, too. Adam: Sure. You know, I didn't mean to come off as, uh, patronizing before. Ashley: It's okay. It's no big deal, you know? I'm gonna make some tea. Would you like some? Adam: Yes, thanks. Ashley: Okay. No worries, right? Adam: Uh, Adam Wilson for Dr. Taylor. I'll hold. Adam: Uh, we have a huge problem. I need your help. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: What about Adam? Nikki: I think there's something that you should know. (Cell phone rings) Victor: Excuse me. One second. Yes? What? I asked you to put her on a plane. What the hell happened? What do you mean you don't know where she is? You find her, damn it. [SCENE_BREAK] [Mary Jane climbs into a fence by the barn on Victor's ranch] Mary Jane: (Sighs) (Groans) (Grunts) So, Jack, now you're gonna step up? (Breathing heavily) All right. You're gonna step up and be the husband and the father you should have been with me when we were married and I was carrying your baby? I mean, why? Why now? Sharon doesn't even want you. And Victor wants to get rid of me, and he has no idea how I feel about you. But you know what? I'm not leaving. I'm not gonna give up. Mary Jane: They will never get rid of me, ever. Mary Jane: (Sighs) [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: This is not just about you carrying my child. Call me a late bloomer, but I finally realize what real love is. And I love you, Sharon, like I have never loved any woman in my life. Sharon: Jack-- Jack: No, no, let me finish. I know I was a horrible husband-- selfish, insensitive. But I do think I'm a better man today. Sharon: You are. Jack: Because of you. Sharon: No. Jack: No, don't argue with me. It's true. You've made me a better partner, a better husband. Sharon: I think that, um, you're gonna make a wonderful husband for someone, but the timing just isn't right for us. Jack: I'm also more patient than I used to be. And we will be back together if it's meant to be. [SCENE_BREAK] Amber: Is it the real Terroni or the fake? Daniel: I don't know. It's hard to tell from a photo. Amber: Whoever used this office is trying to set you up for murder. Daniel: Okay, well, with any luck, we'll find something that helps in this flash drive. Amber: (Sighs) Daniel: Just--let's just keep looking for clues. Check the desk. I'll check the trash. Amber: Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Man: Victoria Newman? Victoria: Yes. Man: My employer is looking forward to meeting you. This way. Victoria Newman, Sir. Victoria: Mr. Sharpe. Man: Please, call me Deacon. [NEXT_ON] Nikki: My God. A photo of Summer? Nick: Where would she get that? Phyllis: I don't know. Deacon: I'm Deacon Sharpe. Daniel: This is, uh, Amber Moore. Mary Jane: Mary Jane. Adam: Mary Jane, we should-- we should help each other.
