Provided By Suzanne

Avery: Hey. Are you okay?

Dylan: Yeah, I'm fine. What's going on?

Avery: I just feel like the day isn't complete unless I've asked you that 20 times. Have you noticed?

Dylan: I have noticed. But you can stop worrying about me.

Avery: Well, you have to admit, the last few months I've had good reason to worry about you. But I will stop. After this morning.

Dylan: What's -- what's this morning?

Avery: Let me take you to breakfast.

Dylan: What about this breakfast right here? Do you want a doughnut?

Avery: No. I want to do this right -- omelets at the athletic club. It's a celebration of sorts.

Dylan: What could we celebrate with omelets?

Avery: Well, you're just gonna have to find out when you come with me. Let's go.

Dylan: Okay.

Avery: Okay, good. Oh!

Dylan: Oh, here.

Avery: No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Got it.

Dylan: What are you up to?

Nick: Here, drink this.

Sharon: Ian said he would call.

Nick: He will.

Sharon: Why hasn't he called?

Nick: He will. And when he does, we're gonna get him. Right, Harding?

Harding: We'll get him.

Sharon: I still can't believe everything that's happened in the last 24 hours.

Nick: Let's just focus on getting Mariah back, okay?

Sharon: Oh, okay, and forget about the fact that she's my daughter? That she's cassie's twin sister?! I'm sorry. I just keep thinking about the night that we were sitting up late and eating that carton of ice cream and everything seemed so familiar. And now I know why.

Nick: I know what you mean. The other day, we... we high-fived, and as soon as our hands touched, it felt as if it were the same person. And that's what started me thinking.

Sharon: Nick, if you had not followed your instinct, I would have never known. I have so much that I-I need to say to her. What if I never get the chance?

Nick: You will.

Sharon: Ring, damn it!

Harding: Okay, I understand that you're anxious, but you've got to stay calm, all right? Let's not start yelling at phones. Now, you're gonna need to keep him talking, you understand? We need time to triangulate his position, get a lock on his location.

Nick: You can do this.

Sharon: First he needs to call.

Kevin: Damn it!

Gloria: Hey, oh, whoa, whoa. Things just going from bad to worse, huh?

Kevin: They are now.

Gloria: What's this?

Kevin: It's part of my space suit for NASA, mom. I'm moonlighting.

Gloria: Ha, ha. Okay, go ahead, baby. Take your anger and your frustrations out on me. That's what mothers are for. Because I can see how upset you are over getting your divorce papers.

Kevin: As usual, your mom-dar is about a million miles off. I am not upset because Chloe dumped me.

Gloria: Really? So why are you destroying police property?

Kevin: Well, my friend Mariah has been kidnapped and I haven't had any luck tracking her down.

Gloria: Well, thank God for that. And here I thought you were gonna be so devastated about the divorce that you were gonna leave town. Obviously you've moved on.

Jill: No! No! Katherine's music box is gone.

Colin: You didn't really expect it to be here, did you?

Jill: No, angel. I nearly broke my neck driving over here 'cause I expected to be disappointed.

Colin: I mean, you can't have something like that, leave it lying around in public, and not have someone lift it. I mean, it could've -- why did you leave it?

Jill: I don't know. I think I was just caught up in the emotion of the day, that's all. I really, truly thought that I was through with that music box. Then I woke up this morning and I realized that I had made a terrible mistake.

Colin: Well, I guess you could file a police report. I doubt it'll do you any good, but... I think you're gonna have to face facts that the treasure's gone.

Jill: No, it's not gone.

Colin: I can see that you're upset. But, um...well, maybe the music box served its purpose.

Jill: Are you gonna say because it brought us together?

Colin: Well it did, didn't it?

Jill: Katherine despised you.

Colin: I know that. But she wanted you to be happy.

Jill: Yeah, she did.

Colin: So, mission accomplished.

Jill: Yep.

Colin: I'm sorry that the music box is gone. But, well, we've got each other.

Jill: I know we do. And it isn't exactly the way Katherine planned it, but I am so grateful to her.

Michael: Yeah, I'm so excited. All right, so it's all set. I'll meet you at the club. Yeah. We are going to be together for a long time. No, Lauren doesn't suspect a thing.

Jill: Oh, my God. That two-timing bastard!

Colin: Uh, eh...

Sharon: What if Ian changed his mind and he decided to take Mariah and leave town with her?

Nick: Sharon, he --

Sharon: He could be hundreds of miles from here by now.

Nick: Ian didn't go anywhere. He wants money.

Sharon: Yes, but --

[Cell phone rings]

Nick: Okay, I'm right here.

Sharon: Hello?

Ian: Hello, Sharon. Did you sleep well last night?

Sharon: You know I was awake all night.

Ian: Well, I may have a cure for your insomnia -- a long-awaited reunion with cassie's twin sister. And all it's going to cost you is $1 million for every year of your newfound daughter's life.

Sharon: You son of a --

Ian: I picked a number that would be easy for you to remember.

Sharon: I-I can't get my hands on that kind of money.

Ian: Oh, but you know people who can. I'll bet you nick is standing right there beside you right now, huh? Hi, nick.

Sharon: I need time.

Ian: I'll make it easy for you, Sharon. $5 million cash now, and you can wire the rest to an offshore account in the Cayman islands.

Mariah: [Groans]

Sharon: I-is that Mariah? Is she okay? Let me talk to her.

Ian: No, I'm sorry. That's not possible.

Sharon: Why not?

Ian: Mariah's...indisposed.

Gloria: What made you decide to move on with your life?

Kevin: Excuse me.

Gloria: Ah, your new friend Mariah? You know, I was so afraid that you were gonna pine over Chloe forever. Wouldn't that have been a waste. I mean, the poor girl had a terrible loss, yes. But it would have been terrible to throw your own life away.

Kevin: Mom -- mom, stop talking. I'm not moving on.

Gloria: But you just said --

Kevin: No, no, you just said. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to work.

Gloria: No, no, no. So you are leaving town?

Kevin: Goodbye, mom.

Gloria: Why would you want to leave Genoa City? This is your home.

Kevin: Maybe because it's filled with painful memories and annoying people who keep telling me I have to move past them.

Gloria: All right. Done. Fine. Over. Forget about me for a minute.

Kevin: Oh, if only I could.

Gloria: Ha, ha, ha. What about your brother? What about Lauren? I'm sure you must have at least one friend or two. And your work, your job that is keeping you on the right side of the law for a change.

Kevin: A little louder, mom. I don't think they heard you down in vice.

Gloria: Oh, come on, Kevin. I'm just -- what is this? Ooh, another top-secret?

Kevin: No, no! Mom, tut...tut. Good God, Kevin. What are you up to?

Jill: All right, who is she? Where is the hussy who's trying to break up my sister's marriage?

Colin: Jill, look. Let's calm down, here. We really don't know what's happening.

Jill: You heard Michael.

Colin: I heard him, but he could've been planning a surprise party for Lauren.

Jill: Oh, really? And he didn't call her sister, hm?

Colin: Maybe her sister's not invited. But that doesn't mean you should jump to conclusions.

Jill: I am not jumping to conclusions. I'm putting together the pieces of a puzzle. And this particular piece fits perfectly with what Lauren told me about the state of her marriage.

Colin: She and Michael are having problems?

Jill: Well, let's just say that Michael having an affair would explain a lot, okay?

Jill: Oh, my God. Lauren is here. I have to warn her before she sees her husband and his lover.

Colin: Jill -- Jill, look, we don't know --

Lauren: Okay. Please tell them I need those samples by Tuesday.

Jill: Lauren...

Lauren: Thank you. Hi, sis.

Jill: Oh, my God, how do I tell you this?

Lauren: Tell me what?

Jill: Honey, you were right to be worried about your marriage.

Lauren: What?

Jill: Colin, how do I break this to her?

Colin: Don't.

Jill: Lauren, Michael is having an affair.

Kevin: It's something that you should not be looking at.

Gloria: No, no, no, no, no. "They found his faceless, deth the middle of the searing hot desert, vultures picking away at what was left of his rotting flesh"? What the hell are you involved in now, Kevin?

Kevin: Solving crimes, mom. I work at a police station, remember?

Gloria: Well, it's gruesome.

Kevin: Yes, most murders are.

Gloria: And what's with that helmet with the skulls? Do not tell me you are an astronaut.

Kevin: I can't tell you anything, mom. My work is confidential. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have g get back to --

Gloria: Fine. I get the hint. When? Angel, please don't leave town.

Kevin: Unlike everyone else I know, mom, I don't make promises I can't keep.

Gloria: I know that Chloe hurt you.

Kevin: I don't want to talk about Chloe. I don't want to talk about my work. I don't want to talk about anything.

Gloria: All right. You listen to me, young man. Your brother when his wife cheated on him, gorgeous Italian psycho, and I'm going to be here for you now that your crazy wife has dumped you.

Kevin: You are my rock.

Lauren: Jill, Michael is not having an affair.

Colin: See? It's okay. Come on, let's go.

Jill: hold on! I haven't told her about the phone call yet.

Lauren: What phone call?

Jill: Colin and I overheard Michael in the park on the phone, arranging to meet someone here.

Lauren: [Chuckles] That was me. He's meeting me.

Colin: See? It's a misunderstanding.

Jill: How can I misunderstand "we'll be together forever" and "Lauren doesn't suspect a thing"?

Lauren: Well, maybe that's what you thought you heard.

Jill: Colin heard it, too. Tell her, Colin.

Colin: Oh, uh, wait, wait, wait. Leave me out of this.

Jill: Oh, please. Lauren, this would explain what's been going on between you and Michael. Or, rather, what hasn't been going on.

Lauren: Michael and I are just tired. Too tired to be having an affair.

Jill: Unless that's the reason for his exhaustion.

Colin: He's exhausted from work, clearly. I mean, when would he have time for an affair?

Jill: You managed to slip one into your busy schedule last year.

Lauren: Oh, really? You just said that to my face? I cannot belie that!

Jill: Sweetheart... sweetheart, listen. It's kind of tit for tat. Think about it. I mean, you can't bruise a man's ego like that and have him about it.

Lauren: You know, this is really ridiculous. I mean, who the hell would he be having an affair with?

Jill: I don't know, sweetheart. The paralegal at his law office, the barista at the coffee house, I mean --

Avery: Hi. Where's Michael?

Jill: Why do you ask?

Avery: Oh, I was just wondering.

Jill: Did you arrange to meet him here?

Avery: No, I just wanted to say hello.

Dylan: Our table's ready.

Avery: Oh, well, maybe we could wait at the bar. Just till Michael gets here.

Dylan: For what? What's going on?

Avery: Nothing.

Dylan: Yes, something is. You've been acting weird all morning.

Jill: Like she's hiding something?

Avery: What? No.

Jill: Oh, my God. You're the one that Michael's having the affair with.

Michael: Hello.

Ian: 4-0-0-8. You got that?

Sharon: Yes, I've got it. Now let me talk to Mariah.

Ian: You have the name of the bank?

Sharon: Account number, the bank, the amount, everything. Now, please, put Mariah on the

Ian: We're not finished yet, Sharon. I want you to put the cash into a black backpack, unmarked bills. Then you go to the southwest corner of chancellor park. Up against the wall, there's a trash can. You put the bag in that trash can by 5:00 this afternoon.

Sharon: Will Mariah be there?

Ian: You just worry about the money, all right? I'll take care of Mariah.

Sharon: You told me that if I give you what you want then you will give me Mariah. You haven't given me anything yet.

Sharon: Well how do I know she's okay?

Ian: You're just gonna have to trust me. Now, I suggest you start trying to get your hands on that money. Clock's ticking.

Sharon: Wait! Let me talk to her.

Ian: Ah, money first.

Sharon: But...I don't even know if she's still alive.

Ian: Oh, Sharon. I would never harm someone that is so precious and valuable to me.

Sharon: Um... I know how much you care about Mariah. She told me that you were there for her when she had no one.

Ian: That' I was.

Sharon: Have you told her that I'm her mother? Have you told Mariah that she's my daughter? Ian? Oh, he hung up.

Nick: Were you able to trace it?

He was using a burner, so we have to collect data about every ping off every tower in the area.

Harding: It takes time.

And he wasn't on long enough to pinpoint a location.

Sharon: We got nothing?

He's still within a 20-mile radius of Genoa City.

Sharon: And that's it? That's what we already knew.

Nick: Sharon --

Sharon: No! No, nick. My daughter's out there. She's out there with this maniac. We have no idea where she is.

Michael: What's going on?

Jill: Don't bother denying it.

Michael: Denying what?

Jill: That you're having an affair, Michael.

Michael: An affair?

Lauren: Jill overheard you on the phone at the park.

Jill: Yes. And it's very obvious that you've been cheating on your wife with this bleach-blond succubus.

Dylan: Not Avery.

Avery: Michael, I think we should come clean.

Michael: I didn't want to do it this way.

Avery: Well, they know we're hiding something. There's no point in denying it.

Dylan: Avery?

Avery: I promised I wouldn't tell you until Michael had the chance to break the news to Lauren.

Jill: You see? I told you. I told both of you.

Colin: I think this is a bad time to gloat.

Jill: Come on. They practically admitted that they're partners.

Michael: Yes, we're partners. We're law partners.

Nick: Sharon, the police are doing everything they can.

Sharon: That is not enough. We've got to take care of this ourselves. I'm gonna get all the money out of my account, but that won't be enough.

Nick: Sharon --

Sharon: How much can you get your hands on? What about Victor?

Harding: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.

Sharon: Slow down? Did you not hear Mariah on the phone? She sounded like she was in pain. She could be hurt.

Harding: She could also be in on this whole thing.

Sharon: What?

Harding: I'm just saying that she does have a rap sheet as long as my arm.

Sharon: Okay, no one knows better than I do what Mariah is capable of. But right now, I know that she's in trouble. I can feel it in my heart. Tell them, nick.

Nick: Sharon's right. Ian is the lowlife here. We have to do whatever it takes to get Mariah away from him.

Harding: Sure. Two criminals on the run together, we're just going after one of them.

Nick: Only one of them called and made ransom demands.

Harding: Okay. We're gonna run this as a straight kidnapping. For now.

Sharon: Okay. Nick and I will get the money.

Harding: No. No, no, no.

Sharon: But --

Harding: The chief will never sanction a real money drop.

Nick: Then what's the plan?

Harding: I'll see if I can get approval for a decoy drop.

Sharon: You want me to put fake money in the park?

Harding: No, not you. A decoy.

Sharon: No!

Nick: So, a cop that looks like Sharon.

Sharon: No, no, no, no, no. That is way too risky.

Harding: We run these kind of operations all the time.

Sharon: What if Ian's there and he realizes that's not me? What if he realizes the bills are counterfeit?

Harding: We will have him in custody before he realizes anything happened.

Sharon: Okay, and then what?

Harding: And then we will get him to tell him where Mariah is.

Sharon: What if he's working with somebody else? What if he takes her away someplace?

Nick: We're just gonna have to trust the police, Sharon.

Harding: All I can tell you is that the people who don't work with us end up regretting it.

Sharon: So we don't have a choice.

Harding: Let's go. Listen, ward calls back, you keep him talking as long as possible. We're still gonna be monitoring the call from the station.

Nick: Keep us posted.

Sharon: Nick, I cannot just sit back and do nothing.

Nick: I wasn't planning to.

Lauren: You ordered mimosas?

Michael: Mm. We were hoping to celebrate our news over breakfast.

Colin: Yeah, but someone kind of spoiled that, didn't they?

Jill: You know what, I jumped to the wrong conclusion in the park. You really should be more careful about what you allow people to overhear, Michael.

Michael: Really? I accept your apology.

Lauren: I think that's as close as you're gonna get.

Dylan: Michael's not the only one who deserves an apology.

Jill: Yes, Avery. I was out of line, okay? And succubus was a little strong. It sounded better in my head.

Avery: You were looking out for your sister. I understand that.

Jill: I'm sure you're not even capable of something like that, so I'm sorry.

Lauren: Oh, my God. An actual apology. Hope somebody got that on tape.

Jill: Shut up, sis.

Lauren: You shut up.

Colin: Oh, but, why don't we leave and let these people have what's left of their celebration?

Jill: Bye.

Lauren: Should we sit down?

Avery: Yes.

Lauren: All right. So, tell me, how did this all come about, the two of you becoming partners?

Avery: Business partners.

Lauren: [Laughs] Right.

Avery: Yes. Well, Leslie decided to give up being a defense attorney and look into becoming an A.D.A. And that left me with too much office space and too few clients.

Michael: And I had been thinking recently that I would like to reduce my workload to spend more time with my wife.

[Cell phone rings]

Dylan: I'm sorry, excuse me. Hey, what's up?

Nick: Hey, I got a problem. And I need your help.

Ian: Everything is in motion. No, trust me. It'll all be worth it in the end.

Mariah: [Groans]

Ian: I have to go. You get here as soon as you can.

Mariah: Oh, my head. What happened?

Ian: Oh, you had a little bit too much to drink, honey. But you'll be fine.

Mariah: I don't feel fine. This isn't what I was wearing.

Ian: No, it isn't.

Mariah: Where are my clothes? Where did I get this dress?

Ian: The wine must have gone to your head.

Mariah: Yeah, I guess. What happened to my clothes? Who put me in this dress?

Ian: It'll all make sense to you very soon, hon.

Mariah: What do you mean?

Ian: Just relax.

Mariah: Wait, this... this isn't a dress. It's a wedding gown.

Avery: Mariah is cassie's twin and Ian has known all along?

Dylan: It never ends with this dirtbag.

Sharon: I can't stand this waiting. I just want my daughter back.

Dylan: And what can we do?

Nick: You were able to track down Ian when you found out he was your father. Were you able to find anything that might give us some clue as to where he may have taken Mariah?

Sharon: The police think they're still in Genoa City.

Dylan: He didn't have any ties in Wisconsin that we could find.

Avery: His ex-wife, Willa -- she might have some information that could help.

Nick: The police already talked to her. If she knows anything, she's not giving it up.

Sharon: We're never gonna find Mariah.

Dylan: Wait, wait. What about that guy in Indiana at the path office?

Avery: Clarence. I can't remember his last name.

Nick: Wait, who's he?

Dylan: He worked with Ian, and he seemed pretty close to him.

Avery: He's close enough that he would lie about knowing Ian. And I will bet you I have his number still in my phone.

Nick: But my dad got all of those path offices shut down. I bet the number's disconnected.

Sharon: Maybe detective Harding can use the number to track down this Clarence person.

Avery: I found it.

Nick: Okay. All right. I'm gonna call this number. You try Harding.

Dylan: Hey, you okay?

Avery: Yeah. They've just been through so much. It makes me wonder...

Dylan: It makes you wonder what?

Avery: How much a relationship can survive.

Dylan: You still talking about nick and Sharon?

Avery: You know, when I think about how our relationship started, me cheating on Joe...

Dylan: Avery...

Avery: You know that I wouldn't do that to you, right?

Dylan: Is this because of what Jill said?

Avery: Just tell me that you know that.

Dylan: I do. I know that. I know that you would never do that.

Avery: I would never do that.

Dylan: Okay.

Avery: Ever. I love you.

Dylan: I love you too.

Jill: God, what is wrong with me? Why did I attack Michael that way? Why have I turned into this paranoid, suspicious woman who doesn't trust men?

Colin: Can't imagine.

Jill: Oh, darling. A few months ago, I would agree with you. But you've been nothing but open and honest with me lately.

Lauren: I hate Colin more than I ever have. I didn't even think that was possible.

Michael: Colin.

Lauren: Yes. Clearly Jill is projecting her fear about what's gonna happen with that gigolo onto us. I mean, why else would she accuse you of cheating? I mean, you having an affair? How crazy is that?

Michael: You tell me.

Lauren: What?

Michael: You didn't think, even for one minute, that Jill might be right?

Lauren: Absolutely not.

Michael: I could understand how you might. I mean, we haven't been exactly close lately. Last night, I didn't even get home until after you were asleep.

Lauren: Well, you were working.

Michael: Yes, I was. On the final paperwork for Avery and my new partnership, but I --

Lauren: Not for one minute did I think that you were unfaithful.

Michael: What we have is too important to me to ever jeopardize this relationship. And that's why I teamed up with Avery. It'll give us a chance to concentrate on us.

Lauren: Well, would you like to celebrate by getting a room upstairs?

Michael: Nah. I have to see a client. But I get home early. Break open a bottle of merlot, say around 6:00?

Lauren: Mm. Okay. I could strangle you.

Colin: Look, Lauren, I think that --

Lauren: Shut up, Colin.

Colin: Right.

Jill: Darling, would you mind giving us a moment, please?

Colin: Yeah, I-I'll be outside checking over the contractor's figures.

Lauren: Yeah, you do that, would you?

Jill: Thank you. Go ahead, strangle away. I deserve it.

Lauren: You just couldn't leave well enough alone, right? I told you Michael wasn't having an affair, but you, you just wouldn't listen.

Jill: I know. But by the end, we were all laughing. It's fine.

Lauren: Really? Were we all laughing? Because now Michael believes that I believe the garbage you were spewing about him being unfaithful.

Jill: Really?

Lauren: Yes.

Jill: And are you telling me that not for one second did you believe any of it?

Lauren: Oh, no. Do not draw me into this at all. It is because of your accusation that you made a very tense situation worse.

Jill: What tense situation? Are you telling me that you and Michael still haven't --

Lauren: Oh, my -- that is not the issue.

Jill: You haven't? Do you know how often Colin and I --

Lauren: Oh, my God. My eyes are burning at the thought.

Jill: Listen, even if Michael is not having an affair, if you're not, you know... you got a serious problem, sis.

Gloria: You know, Jeffrey and I are planning a cruise. Why don't you come with us?

Kevin: No. I don't do third wheel.

Gloria: This trip's for singles.

Kevin: You are Jeffrey are married.

Gloria: Oh, phooey. We have this little game we like to play -- separate cabins, meet in the bar. I have this little number.

Kevin: Mom, stop -- stop talking.

Gloria: Okay. I will spare you the salacious details of my love life. But you know something, Kevin, if you'd spiced up your own, Chloe might have picked you over a straight jacket. Come on, I gave you those pheromone oils, the sexy, erotic ones --

Kevin: Michael, just in time.

Michael: For what?

Kevin: For me to congratulate U. I heard about you and Avery.

Gloria: You and Avery?

Michael: Yes, we're going into business together.

Gloria: [Chuckles] Think that's a good idea?

Michael: No, I think it's a terrible idea. Of course I think it's a good idea. Why else would I do it?

Gloria: Can't imagine. It'll cut into your profits.

Michael: Shockingly, Gloria, sometimes there are more important things in life than billable hours.

Gloria: If you say so, Mikey. Okay, boys. I'm gonna leave you two to chat. Mwah! Mwah! Talk some sense into your brother.

Michael: Hm. Gloria, she never changes.

Kevin: Yeah, thank you for blabbing to her that I was thinking of leaving town. Now she's offering me motherly advice, including tips on my sex life.

Michael: Well, be grateful for the advice. Sometimes sex lives are a difficult thing to manage.

Kevin: Yeah, about that. Is everything okay with you and Lauren?

Harding: Fisher, I got a lead in the Mariah Copeland case. I need you to stop crying on your brother's shoulder and get on it. Now.

Sharon: Detective Harding's working on finding this Clarence person. He said it would help if we had a last name.

Avery: Maybe the path website is still up. We might be able to find a name there.

Nick: Yeah, let's check it out.

Sharon: It's bad enough that Ian has Mariah. Finding out she's my daughter...

Dylan: Yeah. I remember those first days and weeks after I found out Nikki was my mom. It was a lot to take in.

Sharon: Well, it was one thing when Cassie came into my life. At least I knew that she existed. Mariah, I didn't even know she was out there.

Dylan: It's got to be a big shock. I mean, it was tough for me to find out my parents were my biological parents.

Sharon: But you've accepted Nikki into your life, and you're getting to know Paul.

Dylan: Yeah, yeah. It's been a process.

Sharon: Do you regret knowing the truth?

Dylan: No. Like I said, it's a lot to take in, but I got a whole new family just when I lost mine, and I'm very, very grateful. And I'm sure when you find Mariah, she's gonna feel the same way.

Nick: Yeah, the guy's name is Clarence Henderson. Yeah. Let me know what you find out.

Avery: Cassie's twin. That must have been a shock.

Nick: Yeah. Finding out that Sharon was Mariah's mother, and then realizing Ian kidnapped her... who has time to be shocked?

Avery: Listen, if there's anything I can do, nick...

Nick: Right now I just need to get Mariah home safe and sound. Then I might need some legal help.

Avery: Yes. Whatever you need.

Nick: Thanks. Sharon, guy's name is Clarence Henderson. I called Harding. He's got Kevin trying to find him right now.

Dylan: This might be the piece that leads you to Ian.

Nick: I'm so sick of Ian hurting my family and getting away with it.

Dylan: Ian's gonna pay this time. I can promise you that.

Nick: I just wish they would have kept that monster locked up in jail when they had him last time.

Sharon: If they had, I would have never found out Mariah was my daughter.

Colin: I wouldn't worry too much about Lauren. Pretty soon, she'll realize that you're just being an overprotective big sister.

Jill: I wish it was love and concern that made me accuse Michael of having an affair.

Colin: But cynicism in a relationship is healthy. I think it's kind of sexy.

Jill: I'm just very disappointed in myself, that's all. After all that Katherine's trying to teach me with that music box... you know, don't look for hidden agendas. Trust. Believe in love. And I'm gonna do it. Starting right now. I am gonna take your advice. And I hope that whoever took my music box is doing the same thing.

[Music box plays]

Kevin: Look, I know you well enough to know that something is off with you and Lauren. I'm not gonna pry into your personal life -- I'll leave that to Gloria -- but you've always been there for me, and if there's anything you want to talk about, you know where to find me.

Michael: I thought you said you were leaving.

Kevin: Well, maybe you just gave me a final reason to stick around.

Michael: Final, huh? Not only?

Kevin: No. I've got some other stuff going on.

Gloria: So, I hear Michael's forming a partnership with Avery.

Lauren: Yes. A law partnership.

Gloria: I hear that's the way these things get started.

Lauren: Et tu, Gloria? Really? Michael is your son.

Gloria: Yeah, and he's also a man.

Lauren: Oh, I see. So all men on this planet are dogs?

Gloria: Honey, I am just saying that maybe you ought to steer Michael towards an old geezer with nose hairs, because working all those late nights with a blonde bombshell like Avery, you're asking for trouble.

Lauren: Well, I'm not worried. Not one little bit.

Avery: You want to tell me what's going on now?

Dylan: I closed the joint.

Avery: Yeah, that much I got.

Dylan: Oh, you want to know why.

Avery: I was curious.

Dylan: 'Cause I want to celebrate.

Avery: Celebrate what?

Dylan: I want to celebrate you and your partnership. It's Thursday.

Avery: Uh-huh.

Dylan: Yeah.

Avery: Or is it just an excuse to do this?

Dylan: Are you gonna object?

Avery: I have a feeling I would be overruled.

Dylan: Overruled.

Avery: Well, in that case, withdrawn.

[Cell phone rings]

Dylan: Ignore that.

Avery: Oh, okay. Well, you know, it's my new business line. It was just put in this morning.

Dylan: [Sighs] Okay.

[Ringing stops]

Dylan: Better check it.

Avery: It went to voicemail. It'll just take me just two minutes.

Dylan: Is it a crazy new client?

Avery: No. It's my ex-husband.

Nick: All right, thanks for letting us know.

Sharon: What'd he say?

Nick: Kevin was able to track down Clarence's last-known address.

Sharon: Did they find him?

Nick: The landlord said he cleared out a couple of days ago.

Sharon: That's the same time that Mariah and Ian disappeared. Oh, this just keeps getting worse and worse. Nick, I can't lose my daughter. Not when I just found her.

Nick: We are not gonna lose her.

Sharon: How can you say that? We don't know what Ian's up to. And now his friend or disciple or whatever is missing. That can't be a coincidence. What are they doing to my daughter?

Ian: [Chuckles]

Mariah: Clarence?

Ian: Yes, Clarence. You remember our friend, huh?

Mariah: Of course. He worked at the path.

Ian: Yes, he presided over special occasions.

Mariah: Why is he here?

Ian: He's gonna perform the wedding.

Mariah: You think I'm marrying someone?

Ian: No, not someone. I wouldn't expect you to take those sacred vows with a man you didn't have deep feelings for. That would be cruel.

Mariah: I don't -- I don't understand.

Ian: You're going to marry a man you love and cherish.

Mariah: Who?

Ian: Me.

Next on "The Young and the Restless"...

Stitch: I should have just let you keep walking.

Abby: Wait.

Dr. Cutler: She is showing remarkable brain activity.

Victor: So, when do you think Phyllis will come out of her coma?

Sharon: Mariah's life is about to turn upside down.

Ian: I'm your path. You don't want to disappoint me.
