Brady: There you are. I was worried about you.

Nicole: Sorry I'm late. There was traffic.

Brady: It's okay. I'm just glad you're here.

Nicole: Thank you for coming, brady. I-I didn't know who else to turn to. No news there, right?

Brady: What's wrong?

Nicole: Everything. Everything's wrong.

Victor: You're late.

Philip: I didn't know it was urgent.

Victor: No? Did you think we were gonna have a tea party, play a little scrabble?

Philip: Dad, I know you're upset.

Victor: Give the man a prize.

Philip: The situation is under control.

Victor: Under control. I thought we'd agreed you'd worn that phrase out.

Philip: Then I'll try another. There's nothing to get worked up about.

Victor: Don't tell me how I'm supposed to feel. Tell me what's going on with the fuels project. I want answers, damn it!

Chelsea: It's still available? Okay, and how much is the rent? Do you offer student discounts? Nothing. Um, I'll have to get back to you. Thank you.

Stephanie: Hey there, pretty lady.

Chelsea: Hi.

Stephanie: Uh-oh. Apartment-searching blues?

Chelsea: Everything's either way out of my price range or a complete dump.

Stephanie: You can stay with me as long as you like. I love having you.

Chelsea: I love being there, but I just kind of feel like i need my own space, you know? I'm starting to feel unsettled.

Stephanie: I get it.

Chelsea: Besides, with my dad and hope going through their issues right now, I just think I need to get out of their way.

Hope: Okay, I just got off the phone with the sitter, and she said she was fine staying a few more hours with ciara, so date night is definitely on.

Bo: That's great.

Hope: Yeah, I just need to pick up some dinner, drop it off -- hello? Bo, look at me. You promised you'd let it go. Please don't go back on your word. Don't do this to me.

Brady: Wait. What do you mean everything is wrong? Nicole?

Nicole: I thought that he was just making it up, you know, that he only suspected, that he didn't really know, but he just kept taunting me and mocking me with that horrible evil smile. And I tried to play it cool, i did, but how could I? Because I was dying inside. Brady, my heart, it was beating so fast. I thought it was gonna -- i thought it was gonna jump out of my chest. I've never been so scared in my whole life.

Brady: Listen, listen. Try -- you need to calm down and just start from the beginning. Please.

Nicole: It was at the christening, and my baby wasn't -- wasn't far away from me, and he waited. He waited until everyone was at the church, because he knew that would be more painful, more excruciating for me there, and he waited for my little girl to be baptized, and then he was gonna ruin everything. He did ruin everything, that bastard! Look, this was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, and it ended up being the biggest nightmare.

Brady: Nicole, please, just -- you need to take it easy. Please calm down. Just -- look at me, look at me. Take it easy. Take a breath. Good, good. Take another one. Now look at me and tell me what the nightmare is.

Nicole: My secret. It's out.

Brady: What?

Nicole: Someone knows that I'm not sydney's biological mother.

Brady: Who?

Nicole: Tony dimera.

Tony: Ah, yes. The tide has turned. And everything's under control.

Philip: All copies...of the fuels-project blueprints were destroyed, except for one.

Victor: And what? You have that copy now?

Philip: Unfortunately, no, I don'T.

Victor: And that's good news how?

Philip: It's not, but I...

Victor: You what? Who does have that copy?

Philip: Tony dimera.

Victor: Ah. Even better news.

Philip: It's not really a shock, is it?

Victor: Of course not. Tony dimera's a jackal. He's been trying to get a piece of our kill for years. And now, thanks to you, philip, he succeeded. Bravo. Hats off to my son.

Philip: No way I'm gonna let him have it. This isn't over.

Victor: How in the hell could you let it happen?

Philip: Melanie sold it to him. Sneaky little bitch. Look, I know I screwed up. I know that. Hey, but I'll fix it. Just give me a chance. I promise I will get the project back.

Victor: You've run out of time, philip. And your promises aren't worth crap.

Philip: Just have a little patience. I swear I will devote myself to this 24/7.

Victor: The only thing I'm gonna allow you to devote yourself to is getting out of my sight.

Philip: Dad, please. Just give me another chance.

Victor: You had your chance, philip. You blew it. You're fired.

Stephanie: I have an idea.

Chelsea: Yeah?

Stephanie: Let me help you.

Chelsea: Are you gonna pay for my rent every month?

Stephanie: Well, I can't pay for all of it, but I can certainly split it with you.

Chelsea: Okay, I don't get it. Why would you do that? Oh. Oh!

Stephanie: Why not?

Chelsea: Like roommates?

Stephanie: Yeah. We did it before and it worked, at the sorority house. Think about it -- it makes perfect sense. We're both looking for a place. Neither one of us can afford one on our own. Why not get an apartment together?

Chelsea: I don't know, steph.

Stephanie: You don't know? Wait. Is this about you dating Max or whatever? I told you, I'm completely fine with that.

Chelsea: No, I know you are. It's not that. It's, um...

Stephanie: What?

Chelsea: It's about your new boyfriend.

Stephanie: Philip?

Philip: You're firing me?

Victor: Effective immediately.

Philip: Dad, wait. Maybe you haven't been listening to me.

Victor: I want you to go down and pack your things. I want you out before sundown.

Philip: Wait. Look, I know you're upset. I mean, hell, that's an understatement. You're furious, but --

Victor: Furious doesn't begin to cover it. You failed me, philip. You went up against the dimeras and you lost and that is not acceptable.

Philip: I haven't lost yet.

Victor: You made us the laughingstock in the eyes of our bitterest enemies, and you want me to give you another chance?

Philip: You just -- you just can't fire me.

Victor: The hell I can'T. I've done it before.

Philip: Dad, listen to me. I've spent almost my whole life preparing to take over the family business. It's in my blood. It's all I know.

Victor: Not anymore.

Brady: So, tony knows that you didn't give birth to sydney.

Nicole: Please don't make me repeat it.

Brady: Nicole, how did he find out?

Nicole: That traitor. I knew she would turn her back on me. She kept calling me and calling me, and I told her not to, but did she listen? No, because she was so busy thinking about herself, she didn't care about me or the baby.

Brady: Hey, take a breath, please, again. Breathe. What traitor? Who doesn't give a damn about the baby? Who?

Nicole: Mia.

Brady: Mia? Mia's in japan.

Nicole: No, no, not anymore. She's back, obviously. And now she's making trips to the dimera mansion, pouring her heart out to tony.

Brady: What the hell possessed her to do that?

Nicole: I don't know. I don't know. I told him that she was mentally ill, that she had tourette's, and she just blurted things out and made things up.

Brady: Did -- did he buy that, nicole?

Nicole: No. He didn't -- he didn't believe a thing I said. He just looked at me with that terrible cruel smile, high on my misery, drunk with his power, knowing that he could ruin my life and make E.J. Look like a fool.

Brady: And he threatened to tell E.J. The truth, right?

Nicole: Exactly. And now it's only a matter of time before... [Sighs] I'm gonna lose everything, brady. My life will be over.

Tony: [Chuckles] Got the world on a string, don't you, old boy? Oh. Oh, the sweet smell of victory. [Sighs]

Chelsea: It's not that i don't like philip. I just -- think of how awkward it would be. Max and philip, they don't get along, especially lately. They've been at each other's throats.

Stephanie: It's not our problem.

Chelsea: I know that, but... okay, Max has moved on.

Stephanie: With you.

Chelsea: Yes, with me, but regardless, he's moved on, but he still is very protective of you, and he doesn't think that philip is good enough for you.

Stephanie: Do you agree with him?

Chelsea: No, I think if the guy makes you happy, then I'm all for it.

Stephanie: Then what's the problem?

Chelsea: I think that if we were roommates, then --

Stephanie: What, philip and Max are gonna cross paths and there's gonna be bloodshed?

Chelsea: No.

Stephanie: Look, we'll just tell them to be on their best behavior. We'll threaten them and make sure they don't act like little boys.

Chelsea: Yeah, that's a conversation I can't wait to have.

Stephanie: Well, what's the alternative, then? We let their stupid little feud throw a wrench in our plans?

Chelsea: No. You know, it's not even just that. It'S...

Stephanie: What? What else is there?

Chelsea: Privacy.

Stephanie: Ever hear of a two-bedroom apartment? Doors, chelsea?

Chelsea: Yeah, doors. Those do come in handy.

Stephanie: Mm-hmm. It's a good idea, chelsea. We'll work everything out. Just think about it.

Chelsea: Okay, well, what about the issue of our boyfriends not getting along?

Stephanie: We'll dump them if we have to.

Chelsea: That's a fabulous idea. I don't know why I didn't think of it.

Stephanie: Yeah, me either.

Chelsea: I guess the better part, too, is that Max can come and go as he pleases without running into my dad and having my dad cause a huge scene.

[Cellphone vibrating]

Stephanie: Yeah, see, that's a considerable bonus.

Chelsea: Yeah.

Stephanie: You know what? I actually have to go, but we will check out some rentals tomorrow, okay?

Chelsea: Okay, sounds good.

Stephanie: All right.

Chelsea: I will talk to you later, roomy.

Stephanie: Ttyl, roomy.

Chelsea: So, now all I have left to do is figure out how to break the news to dad. That will be fun.

Hope: Bo, please. You say you don't have control over these visions, but you do. You just have to believe that you do. Are you even listening to me?

Bo: Yeah, that -- I will do everything I can to keep control of my thoughts, all right? 'Cause all I want to do is... spend time with my beautiful wife, you know? Go on a nice romantic date night.

Hope: But we can't if you keep obsessing about these visions.

Bo: I won'T. I won'T. I'm obsessing about work. You know, I'm worried about that big meeting with the higher-ups tomorrow.

Hope: You'll be fine. Just be yourself.

Bo: [Chuckles] Hardheaded, argumentative, overzealous.

Hope: What's the meeting about?

Bo: Oh, it's no big deal. I mean, they want to discuss ways to improve the police department's image in the community, you know.

Hope: Well, sounds relatively painless.

Bo: Well, it is. It's just...not what I enjoy doing, you know? Going to these meetings, trotting out all these charts with facts and figures, blah, blah, blah.

Hope: You miss the detective work.

Bo: Sometimes. Most of the time.

Hope: I'm thinking, um...you need a little distraction.

Bo: Well, that depends.

Hope: On?

Bo: The distraction. It wouldn't happen to involved you, now would it?

Hope: I think possibly we could work something out. Bo.

Bo: Yeah.

Hope: This time, these visions -- look, just listen. I'm no shrink, but like I said before, I really think it's your way of punishing yourself, and it's got to stop. Stop. What happened with kay, we've discussed it. We've worked it out. It's all forgiven. I just want you to have peace of mind now, that's all. And for you to believe in my love for you.

Bo: I do.

Brady: Nicole, you knew the risks. You knew that this could happen.

Nicole: That's it? That's all you have to say? I'm dying here, and you're giving me I told you sos? You know, just forget it. Go away.

Brady: Listen, I want to help you. I do. I just don't --

Nicole: But what? It's a lost cause? You know what? I...I don't need you. It's fine. I can do this on my own.

Brady: I don't think it's a lost cause, but listen, you're gonna have to give me more information here. I mean, my God, does tony dimera have it in for you or what?

Nicole: No! No, that's the worst part. He doesn't like me, but this isn't about me. He just want to hurt E.J. and his father for pushing him out of the company, so now he wants revenge.

Brady: And he feels that he could do that by dropping this bomb.

Nicole: Yes. And now he's just waiting for the right time, and I can't let that time come.

Brady: Well, what are you gonna do? If tony's determined to do this, my God, he's gonna --

Nicole: Wait, wait, wait.

Brady: What?

Nicole: You know what? I do have a plan. I do, brady, and it's perfect. It's foolproof. You and me.

Brady: I'm sorry. "You and me"?

Nicole: Yeah. You and me, we're gonna make this happen. Tony dimera is going down. Look, I need leverage with tony, obviously, and the only thing that creep seems to care about is the fuel-project blueprints.

Brady: Which rightfully belong to Titan.

Nicole: And you want those back, right?

Brady: Obviously, I do.

Nicole: So we have to steal them.

Brady: [Chuckles] Tell me you're kidding, right? You're kidding.

Nicole: No, I'm dead serious.

Brady: Emphasis on dead.

Nicole: Brady, this is simple. I live with the man. All we have to do is break into his bedroom.

Brady: Oh. Is that all?

Nicole: Yes. Look, we break into his room, we get the blueprints, we get out, end of story.

Brady: Beginning of prison sentence.

Nicole: And then I will use the fuel project as ransom to buy tony's silence.

Brady: This is totally, absolutely cra--

Nicole: It's perfect, and i know we can pull it off.

Brady: I'm sorry. "We"?

Nicole: Yes. Unless you want to see my life fall apart. And didn't you say you wanted this project for Titan?

Brady: Yes, nicole. My God, what the hell do you want me to do?

Nicole: I want you to be my star, my leading man.

Brady: Huh? Tell me.

Nicole: You are gonna steal the plans.

Brady: Oh, okay.

Nicole: Wait, wait, wait. You'll be more than my leading man. You'll be my hero. Please, brady. Please do this for me.

Philip: So, what are you gonna do? What, are you gonna give my job to brady? Put it all in the hands of the golden boy?

Victor: Try not to wear your jealousy on your sleeve, philip.

Philip: Look, I'll own up to any mistakes I've made concerning the project. I'll make amends. I want a chance to redeem myself.

Victor: It's too little, too late.

Philip: Just don't give my job to brady, please.

Victor: Your insolence knows no bounds.

Philip: He can't handle it.

Victor: Telling me what I can and can't do?

Philip: Just give me one more chance, damn it! Let me turn things around. Let me get the project back.

Victor: The only thing I'm gonna let you do is go out and look for another job.

Philip: But you can't handle it. You can't handle it yourself. You need my help.

Victor: I need your help? With what? To make a further mockery of this company? To lose us more money in the worst economy since the great depression? I built this empire on my own, and I will run it the way I see fit, without your help.

Philip: You want to get rid of me? That's fine. But if you think I'm to blame for Titan's downward spiral, you're dead wrong.

Victor: No? Was there someone else that lost the multimillion-dollar contract to another company?

Philip: It's not my fault the dimeras play dirty. Hell, that's all they do, and that's how we'll hit them back.

Victor: You know, you were never man enough to face the consequences of your own actions. Perhaps today...the learning process will start.

Philip: What the hell does that mean?

Victor: I'm cutting you off, philip.

Philip: Cutting me -- that sounds like -- are you disowning me?

Victor: It's all semantics, isn't it?

Philip: You know, all my life...all I've tried to do is live up to your expectations, and now I...I finally see...

Victor: Finish your sentence.

Philip: I'm done...with you. I'm on my own now.

Victor: Yes, you are.

Philip: But I will prove to you that I will defeat the dimeras. I will win. Do you hear me?

Victor: Good night, philip.

Hope: Slight modification to our date-night itinerary.

Bo: Uh-oh.

Hope: I just got off the phone with ciara, and she is demanding that I bring home the cookies that Grandma caroline baked for her.

Bo: I'm sure she just wants to see her mommy.

[Cellphone ringing]

Hope: Yeah, you're probably right, but since it's only five minutes out of the way and I've got to drop off dinner anyway.

Bo: Uh-oh, it's chelsea.

Hope: Yeah, go ahead. I'm gonna drop dinner off and meet you back here for a very hot date with my sexy husband.

Bo: All right, I'll be waiting.

Hope: Okay, I'll hurry.

Bo: Hey, kid, what's up?

Chelsea: Hey, dad. Um, I was wondering if you had a few minutes to meet up with me. I kind of need to talk to you about something.

Bo: I have a few minutes right now.

Chelsea: Okay, great. Um, how's the Cheatin' Heart?

Bo: I'll be there.

Nicole: Come on, brady. Please, it's easy. You just have to go in there, get the blueprints, and get out. Five minutes tops. I would do it myself, but --

Brady: Oh, you are gonna go in.

Nicole: What?

Brady: If we do this, if we do this and when we do this, you're gonna go in.

Nicole: But I thought I would distract tony while you pull off the heist.

Brady: Oh, come on. How's that gonna happen? You think I'm gonna just go right by stefano's security detail and waltz past the butler and then I'm gonna wander into tony's room and just walk out the door with billion-dollar blueprints? Is that it?

Nicole: So does that mean you're not gonna help me?

Brady: It means that if we do this, we do it my way.

Nicole: Fine. We'll do it...your way. You call the shots. You're the boss.

Chelsea: Hey.

Bo: Hey, kid.

Chelsea: How are you? I feel like I haven't seen you in forever.

Bo: [Chuckles] It's only been a few days. But when you're used to having somebody around and they up and disappear on you... I missed you.

Chelsea: Same here.

Bo: Good. So, what's going on? You're still over at stephanie's, right?

Chelsea: Yeah. Actually, that was one of the things I wanted to talk to you about.

Bo: Okay, shoot.

Chelsea: Why don't you go first?

Bo: Me?

Chelsea: Yeah. Dad, I know you pretty well. I mean, even when I was living at the house, I could sense when something was off or you weren't feeling right. I can tell by that look in your eye that you're kind of hurting right now. I know that you and hope are doing okay and she's gotten over everything that happened with aunt kayla, but I can tell that there's something else bugging you, right? Come on, you can tell me. What's going on?

Tony: Hello?

Brady: Tony, it's brady black.

Tony: Brady? This is a rather unexpected call.

Brady: What can I say? It's unusual times, right?

Tony: Indeed.

Brady: Listen, I'll cut right to it. We need to talk.

Tony: You know, I just had a face-to-face with philip not just a few hours ago. I think I've exhausted all ways to say no.

Brady: Tony, I'm not philip.

Tony: Oh, I hope not. Otherwise, Titan would have a rather bleak future.

Brady: I want you to meet me at the pier, second warehouse.

Tony: Brady, I don't think so.

Brady: 15 minutes. Trust me, I have an offer for you. It may be worth your while.

Tony: Uh, brady, you really got me at a bad time. I'm so busy right now. I tell you what -- why don't you call me later? We'll schedule it another time. At the end of the week, perhaps.

Brady: I promise I will make it worth your while. Come on, tony, what have you got to lose? All I need is five minutes of your time.

Tony: And this can't be discussed on the phone right now because?

Brady: I prefer to do business face-to-face, and i promise I will be very quick. I will simply make my offer and you'll be free to go.

Tony: All right, all right. Listen, I'll meet you at the pier in 15 minutes if it would just shut you up.

Nicole: Those blueprints better be here.

Chelsea: Dad, come on, tell me.

Bo: I don't want to talk about me. What's going on with you? How are things going?

Chelsea: Good, I guess. Doing pretty well in my classes.

Bo: Well, great. What else?

Chelsea: Um...well, I guess you're wondering if I'm still dating Max.

Bo: "Dating"?

Chelsea: Yeah. What, am I not allowed to use that term? I'm sorry. Is it too innocent?

Bo: A bit.

Chelsea: Okay, let me rephrase it, then. I bet you're wondering if Max and I are still having sex.

Bo: Hey, I just know -- I'm happy if you're happy. That's all I care about.

Chelsea: Good, because I am happy. Max is a great guy, and I have a lot of fun when I'm with him.

Bo: I bet you do.

Chelsea: And even though you completely disapprove of the relationship, you're still happy if I'm happy.

Bo: No, no, that's -- that's not the thing.

Chelsea: Then what?

Bo: I just miss you, kid. And you know what? I'd like you to move back to the house, and I promise I will try not to be so overprotective if you just give your old man some slack, you know? Just pretend I might have some influence over you a little bit. Can you do that for me? What do you say?

Chelsea: I can't do it, dad.

Bo: What do you mean?

Chelsea: It's not because I'm still mad at you for what happened, because I'm definitely not. It's just, um... I'm -- I'm gonna get my own apartment, and I already found a roommate.

Philip: Do you think you could give me a minute?

Sorry, mr. Kiriakis. I got my orders.

Philip: Yeah, right. My own father thinks I'm going to steal a lamp. What is that about? You know me, jimmy. Be like breaking into your own car.

Stephanie: Philip, you're never gonna believe -- um, what's going on?

Philip: What won't I believe?

Stephanie: Um...

Philip: Jimmy, please, come on.

Stephanie: You're packing up your stuff.

Philip: Yeah, you catch on quick.

Stephanie: Well, that means...

Philip: Yeah, my father fired me.

Stephanie: Philip, I'm so sorry.

Philip: Don't be. Because it's not over. Oh, no. This is not close to being over.

Hope: Hey, you. Roman, hi.

Roman: Hey, sister-in-law. You are looking even better than usual.

Hope: Oh, thank you, commander.

Roman: What's up?

Hope: Oh, my husband and i are having a date. He's not here?

Roman: No, he, uh, must have stepped outside. I'm sure he'll be back soon.

Hope: Yeah.

Roman: Everything okay?

Hope: I'm not sure.

Roman: You want to talk about it?

Hope: I think bo needs help.

Bo: So, this new roommate.

Chelsea: Is not Max, much to your relief.

Bo: I didn't say anything.

Chelsea: I'm getting an apartment with stephanie.

Bo: Oh, that's good.

Chelsea: You think so?

Bo: Yeah, absolutely.

Chelsea: Just so long as it's not Max, right?

Bo: I didn't say anything.

Chelsea: You know, I can't help but wonder how you're gonna react one day when I come home and tell you that I'm getting married.

Bo: Mm. [Chuckles] Not so good.

Chelsea: I didn't think so.

Bo: But I'll make it through it. I'll drink a lot.

Chelsea: Hilarious.

Bo: Thank you. Seriously...it will be difficult, but like I said before, if you're happy, I'm happy. You know that's true, right?

Chelsea: I know that.

Bo: Okay.

Chelsea: And speaking of marriages and other people making you happy --

Bo: This sounds like a segue.

Chelsea: Dad, you and hope have --

Bo: Hey, we are fine. As a matter of fact, we have a date night, and I bet she's waiting for me at the pub, so i got to get going.

Chelsea: Dad.

Bo: I am one lucky man. Keep me in the loop on this whole apartment thing. I'm excited for you. Love you, kid.

Chelsea: Love you, too.

Philip: Yeah, so, once my father learned that the project was no longer Titan's property, he threw me out on my ass, as he would put it.

Stephanie: Guess we shouldn't be surprised, huh?

Philip: I spent almost my whole life preparing to take over this family company. And now I'm out of a job... and a father.

Stephanie: "And a father." What does that mean?

Philip: Oh, I forgot to mention my dear old dad disowned me, too.

Stephanie: Disowned you? Is that what he said?

Philip: No, no, I did, but he didn't deny it.

Stephanie: My God. What is wrong with that man?

Philip: Well, I'm used to it. I'm used to it. It is what it is.

Stephanie: You know what? It's his loss. If he can't realize that he's lucky to have a son like you, then...

Philip: To hell with him.

Stephanie: Right. So, what are you gonna do now?

Philip: I'll tell you what I'm not gonna do. I'm not gonna give up.

Brady: Tony, it's brady. I'm waiting for you at the pier, wondering where you are. Hopefully you are on your way. Bye.

Mr. Dimera? Are you in there, sir? I brought your dry cleaning. Perhaps I'll come back later, then.

Nicole: [Sighing] Oh, God. Come on, tony. Where did you put them? Where did you put those blueprints?

Roman: All right, wait a minute. Okay, let me get this straight -- you were saying you think bo needs help. Do you mean psychiatric help?

Hope: He'd kill me for talking about this, even with you. Roman, bo's been...really stressed lately and just hasn't been himself.

Roman: Not an easy job, running the police department.

Hope: No, of course not.

Roman: Especially with abe making all these changes. He cut back the people getting fired. It's pretty overwhelming, especially for a guy like bo. He takes all that to heart. You know that.

Hope: Yeah, I know. That's what it is. Yeah, that must be the problem. I feel much better. Thank you.

Roman: Well, you know that any time you need to talk.

Hope: I know. You are always there. Thank you so much.

Stephanie: You're not gonna give up.

Philip: No way in hell.

Stephanie: What exactly do you mean?

Philip: Hey, don't worry. Okay? I'm not gonna do anything stupid.

Stephanie: I'm sorry.

Philip: For what?

Stephanie: Worrying so much. It's just when you hurt, I hurt.

Philip: I don't want you to hurt, stephanie. I don't want that.

Stephanie: Then maybe...

Philip: What?

Stephanie: Walk away from it, philip. Tony has the fuels project now. You can't get it back, and I'm really sorry you lost your job.

Philip: I'm not sorry. I'm mad. This never should have happened.

Stephanie: But it did.

Philip: And now I have to make it right.

Stephanie: No, philip. You don't have to --

Philip: Stop it. Don't argue with me. I'm my own man. I make my own decisions. Stephanie, stephanie, I'm sorry. This is my life, my pride, my future. I won't stop. I can'T.

[Cellphone rings]

Hope: You know, I'm gonna wait outside for him.

Roman: Sure, I need to take this anyway.

Hope: Oh, there you are. I was just about to call -- what? Did something happen?

Bo: I have to cancel our date night. I have to go to the office. I'll see you at home later.

Brady: There you are. D-did you find it?

Nicole: No, nothing. The blueprints aren't in his room.

Brady: Damn it. Oh, God. What do we do now?

Nicole: What now? Disaster now. Tony's gonna tell E.J. The truth about sydney, and my life is gonna be over.

Brady: Listen, listen, listen. It's gonna be okay. We're gonna find a way to work it out. Listen, we will find a way, but you have got to get out of here before tony shows up.

[Cellphone ringing]

Nicole: Oh, my God. It's tony. Why is he calling me? Hi, tony.

Tony: Nicole. You've had quite a day, haven't you? You and brady make quite the team.

Nicole: Uh, I-I don't know what you're talking about.
