>> Daniel: Hey, Summer.
>> Summer: Hi.
>> Phyllis: Did you talk
to Chance?
>> Summer: Yeah. He said that
Daniel needs to get a lawyer.
[ Daniel sighing ]
>> Phyllis: Okay,
is that all he said?
>> Summer: Just that
the evidence is pretty damning.
>> Lucy: What does that mean,
Dad?
>> Daniel: I don't know, baby.
I don't know.
>> Phyllis: Hey, hey, hey, hey.
You need to stay strong.
>> Daniel: I know, Mom, but,
you know, it's just that--
>> Phyllis: This is madness.
It's madness.
It's insane.
But you can't fall apart,
you got it?
Keep it together.
You're strong.
You know why?
Because I'm your mom.
We're gonna get through this.
You know what I'm capable of.
I never give up.
Ever.
Neither should any of you.
♪♪
>> Daniel: Thank you.
>> Phyllis: Thank me
when it's over.
>> Daniel: Yeah, well,
I'd really like to know
when that's gonna be.
>> Phyllis: As soon as we get
to the bottom of this
and find out who's doing
this to you and why.
>> Summer: Lucy.
>> Phyllis: Hey, Lucy.
It's gonna be okay.
>> Lucy: Then why are they
saying that Dad needs a lawyer?
That must mean that they think
he's guilty.
>> Phyllis: No.
Just Chance wants to make sure
that your dad is protected.
You know, he's just trying
to give him the best advice,
that's all, right?
>> Summer: Yeah.
Right.
>> Lucy: Are they gonna
arrest him?
>> Summer: No.
I-- They're a long way away
from arresting anyone.
Chance just is trying to get
all the facts.
>> Daniel: Well, he could start
by finding out
who's setting me up.
Who would want to hurt Heather
in the first place?
Because that's what I can't
wrap my head around.
I mean, is it someone from
our past or someone with
some kind of sick vendetta
against us?
>> Sharon: Your daughter is out
of control.
And if you and Daniel don't
set up some serious boundaries
with her, I'm telling you,
my patience has just about
run out.
>> Phyllis: This is
somebody who had
a clear motive.
Someone diabolical
and so clever that they could
break into your apartment
and plant evidence without
anybody ever finding out.
>> Summer: That still leaves us
with who, though.
>> Phyllis: What if
it were Sharon?
>> Summer: What?
>> Daniel: That's a pretty
big stretch.
>> Phyllis: Is it?
I mean, I was standing there
with Heather when Sharon
came running in like a bat out
of hell, got in Heather's face,
threatening her to keep
Lucy away from Faith.
Not only that, Nick and her
kids have been going on and on
about how they are questioning
her stability
and mental health.
>> Daniel: Yeah, yeah,
that's true. But it's hard
for me to picture her
doing something like that.
>> Phyllis: Is it?
I mean, I find it odd that
she showed up at your apartment
the night that Heather died.
And nobody knew about that
until now.
And who did she tell?
Oh, the police.
And she came up with some story
that Heather confided in her,
that you guys had been arguing
and she was afraid of you.
And then all this evidence just
shows up at your apartment.
>> Daniel: It's still not enough
to point the guilty finger
at her, especially for murder.
>> Phyllis: It's enough for me.
>> Daniel: You know
what I think?
I think you want to hang this
all on Sharon because of all
the years the two of you have
spent hating each other.
>> Phyllis: Oh, Daniel, that is
so untrue. I think I'm the only
one in town who knows what that
woman is truly capable of.
>> Sharon: Why, Phyllis...
seems like you're at a loss
for words.
>> Phyllis: I honestly wish with
all my heart I could undo this.
>> Sharon: Oh, but you can't.
>> Phyllis: No, I can't.
I know what I did was wrong,
so please just do whatever
you need to do.
Yell at me, call me
every name in the book.
>> Sharon: You know, it sounds
like you're giving me permission
to be upset with you.
That's funny.
You know, I don't remember
giving you permission to sleep
with my husband.
>> Phyllis: I know you hear
the words, but they just don't
seem to register in your brain.
It's too bad that Faith doesn't
have a mom who really cares
about her.
>> Sharon: Oh, I do care
about Faith. I do care
about Faith.
>> Phyllis: No, I'm talking
about Ashley. She should be back
with Ashley because that woman
really cared
about your daughter.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God!
>> Sharon: You made me stoop
way down to your level, Phyllis!
>> Phyllis: No, you could not
reach my level if you were
airlifted!
>> Phyllis: You know, Daniel,
I can acknowledge our history.
Absolutely.
But if you don't think that
Sharon is capable of violence,
you are so wrong.
>> Summer: But to do something
that horrible and to frame
Daniel on top of it?
>> Phyllis: Well, she tried
to kill me once.
>> Phyllis: Don't-- Stop it!
Stop it!
Give that to me!
Wow, that stunt of hers,
that put me in a coma
for over a year.
And we all know what she did
to Cameron Kirsten right?
>> Summer: Sharon killed Cameron
in self-defense.
I mean, that was
to protect Faith.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, I know,
but what I'm saying is
she's capable of it.
>> Daniel: Okay,
so what's her motive?
>> Phyllis: I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm trying to figure it out.
I'm just trying
to figure it out, Daniel.
I mean, it could have been that
she came to the apartment
to apologize and then
she's unstable, so maybe they
got into a fight and it was
an accident, just a tragic,
tragic accident.
>> Daniel: Okay, say
that's how it happened.
Then what, Sharon decides that
she's going to frame me
for murder because I stirred up
bad memories of Cassie?
I don't see it, Mom.
Right now, this is hard enough
dealing with Heather being gone
and dealing with everything
else that's going on
with the police.
I just, I don't need you
going off on something
like this, okay?
>> Phyllis: Okay, okay.
I know this is horrible and I
know it's hard, so I'll stop.
And it's certainly fair that
you would think that I would
overreact given all the things
that I've done in my life,
so...
>> Lucy: What kind of things?
>> Daniel: Well, um...
your grandmother has been known
to take situations
to the extreme
from time to time.
>> Phyllis: From time to time?
Yeah, hey, you know what?
You don't know these things
about me.
Hey, have a seat, Lucy.
Would you like to know
about your grandmother?
I have a few stories
to tell you.
>> Summer: Uh, I don't know
about some of your stories, Mom.
I mean, tender ears.
>> Lucy: Hey, I'm 16.
>> Phyllis: Oh, she's 16.
I'll keep it clean.
>> Daniel: Doesn't make me feel
any better.
>> Phyllis: Oh, my goodness.
Where do I start about me?
Honestly, everything I've done,
I've done to protect people
I love.
Where do I start?
Let's start with
the dead octopus.
>> Summer: The what now?
>> Daniel: Oh, boy.
>> Lucy: Okay, wait,
what dead octopus?
>> Phyllis: Oh, what dead
octopus, you ask?
Well, let me tell you,
your grandpa Paul made
the biggest mistake of his life
by marrying Christine,
and so I thought on their
honeymoon I would give them
a little surprise.
And...
>> Summer: Mom, you put
a dead octopus
in their honeymoon bed?
>> Lucy: For real?
>> Phyllis: Yeah, for real.
For real.
It wasn't mature.
And I've changed a lot since
then, but I did do it,
and it smelled.
And most of my, I guess,
out there moments, what people
would call out there moments,
come from my determination.
>> Daniel: That's a nice spin.
>> Phyllis: Well,
you have to get creative
if you really want something
bad enough.
>> Lucy: Like how?
>> Phyllis: I've been known
to go undercover.
>> Phyllis: Well, this has been
most fun. Thank you very much.
I appreciate it.
And good luck with your case.
Okay.
Showtime.
Showtime, folks.
It's show--
it's showtime, folks.
>> Summer: It's funny.
I don't think I have even heard
most of these stories.
>> Daniel: Yeah, neither have I.
>> Phyllis: Well, I mean,
I haven't felt very comfortable
telling you two because I was
afraid you'd judge me.
>> Daniel: Look, you always did
your best.
We know that.
>> Phyllis: Yeah,
I did do my best.
All I wanted to be was a mom.
I just wanted to have
a normal family.
It was a family, family at all.
So, you know, I made mistakes.
I screwed up.
Starting with your father.
>> Lucy: Wait, how did you
and Grandpa get together?
>> Daniel: You stalked him,
didn't you?
>> Phyllis: I did not stalk him.
I just happen to be in the same
vicinity all the time.
>> Summer: So stalking?
>> Daniel: Stalking.
>> Phyllis: Uh, your grandpa
and me, it was complicated,
definitely.
But you know what?
I was so determined
to make our family work.
>> Danny: I told you
I needed space.
>> Phyllis: Maybe I don't think
that's the best thing for you.
Or for us.
Or our family.
>> Danny: What we have is not
a family.
>> Phyllis: Husband, wife,
child.
That's a family.
>> Danny: In name only.
Come on.
What do you want from me?
>> Phyllis: You even have
to ask?
>> Danny: We had our one night
in bed, and you've ruined
my life.
So why don't you go get
dressed?
>> Phyllis: I'm much more
comfortable in this.
There's nothing to be shy
about. You're my husband.
>> Lucy: Did it work?
>> Phyllis: Actually, um...
It was really about almost
losing your dad when he was
a baby that brought us together.
>> Danny: A crisis like this
can change a person.
>> Phyllis: It certainly puts
things into perspective.
I mean, I can't even remember
the things I used to stress
over before Daniel got sick.
>> Danny: Well, let's just hope
that we never have to go through
anything like this again.
>> Phyllis: Danny, there's also
something else I realized.
>> Danny: What?
>> Phyllis: That prayer stuff
really works.
And after that...
after that, Danny,
Danny did realize that
we worked as a family.
>> Danny: It begins with
a request.
Will you marry me?
[ Phyllis exhaling ]
>> Phyllis: Yes.
Oh, my God, Danny.
Yes.
Yes!
>> Lucy: That's so sweet.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, it was sweet.
>> Lucy: What happened next?
>> Phyllis: Uh, how do I
put this? Um, how do I explain?
>> Daniel: Well, you know,
the truth is normally
a good place to start.
>> Phyllis: I loved Danny very,
very much. Oh, I loved him.
But he didn't love me back.
I wanted to keep my family
together, so I did what I had
to do, and I lied
and manipulated and...
And then somebody with a name
that rhymes with cricket
told him that your father wasn't
his biological child.
>> Lucy: Oh.
>> Phyllis: So, uh, there was
a divorce and a custody battle,
and, um,
I lost.
And your father was taken
from me.
>> Lucy: Did you try to see him?
>> Phyllis: I did.
Oh, for many, many years,
I tried to see him.
There was one particular time.
>> Phyllis: Oh, it's been
so long since I've heard
anything about my son.
Do you have a picture with you?
>> Danny: Phyllis, I think
it's best this way.
I know it's hard.
But seeing pictures, I mean,
don't you think that'd even
make it worse for you?
>> Phyllis: He's my son,
and I don't even know
what he looks like.
Danny, um, listen,
even though...
even though I-- I have a lot of
great things in my life,
I still have an empty space.
I miss my son.
>> Lucy: That's so sad.
>> Phyllis: Yeah. It was sad.
It was sad for a really long,
long time.
Then we found each other,
right?
>> Daniel: Do I know you
from somewhere?
>> Phyllis: Um, you don't know
me from Adam.
>> Daniel: Oh, I...
I don't know, I-I thought...
>> Phyllis: Maybe that
there-- there was some sort of
connection, right?
>> Daniel: Yeah, like, maybe
you knew me when I was a kid.
I'm from around here
originally.
>> Phyllis: I know.
>> Daniel: You do?
Who are you?
Are you a friend of
my Aunt Gina's?
>> Phyllis: Yeah, yeah,
you could say that.
>> Daniel: Well, I'm Daniel.
I'm Daniel Romalotti.
>> Phyllis: I know.
>> Daniel: You know, no offense,
but this is really starting
to creep me out.
>> Phyllis: Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't want to creep you out.
It's just...
It's...
It's just that I've waited for
this moment for so many years.
>> Daniel: Oh, my God.
You...
>> Phyllis: I'm your mother.
And here we are.
>> Daniel: Here we are.
>> Lucy: So,
you and Grandpa never...
>> Phyllis: Oh, no, no.
I mean, I tried.
I tried, but...
the truth is, his heart
belongs to Christine.
And I'm telling you all of this
partly because I think that you
should know that people change.
And I like to think that
I've changed.
I'm matured, at least, maybe.
But I have changed and grown,
and mainly because of my kids.
You guys are-- are the reason
that I keep going.
And you two are the reason
I want to do better.
>> Daniel: Why don't you tell
our summer story?
>> Lucy: Is it as dramatic
as yours?
>> Daniel: I don't know.
What do you think?
>> Phyllis: Well, I mean,
I can't really tell you Summer's
story without telling you about
my story with Jack and Nick.

am relieved.

we know the truth.

going through life without you.

matter what goes on

is that I love you.
That you know I love you.
That you know I thank God

what to say. I mean,
this is so sweet.
You have no idea how much
this means to me.
I-- I'm so...
Oh, God, I'm so blessed
to be a part of your family.
And for a while, I was part of
the Abbott family.
I was actually
part of a family for once.
>> Lucy: What happened?
You know, Jack desperately
at that time wanted a child,
and I-- I tried really,
really hard to give him one.
I almost killed myself trying.
Then we found out I couldn't
conceive, and that was just...
that was a crushing blow
to him.
He acted like it was fine,
but...
he wanted a child.
And then entered Diane...
with Kyle.
And ultimately, that's what
ripped us apart.

this, Jack.

that you have a baby?
And you just found out
that it's yours?
What about the mom?
What about her?
What did she do, drop dead?
She wants to give it up
for adoption?
>> Jack: Listen, I realize you
need a lot of answers right now.
>> Phillis: Yes, I do.
Answers I probably don't want
to hear.
>> Jack: Not necessarily.
>> Phyllis: Let go of me.
You tell me everything.
You tell me about this baby,
and you start with telling me
who the mother is.
>> Jack: It's Diane Jenkins.
>> Phyllis: Do you ever think
about the child we almost had?
Do you ever think about
the child I lost?
>> Jack: I try not to.
>> Phyllis: Me too.
It's sad.
>> Jack: But it's one of those
things that happens.
It's nobody's fault.
God knows you tried.
You almost died trying
to give me a child.
>> Phyllis: Do you think things
would have been different...
if we had a child together,
if we made a baby?
>> Jack: I don't think we can
really speculate about that now.
>> Phyllis: I think things
would have been different.
It would have given us
something to fight for.
It would have forced us
to overcome the obstacles.
I want to give you a baby.

I do know that.
>> Phyllis: Oh, well.
I guess it wasn't meant to be.
Just like I guess we weren't
meant to be.
It was a glorious ride.
>> Jack: Yeah.
Yeah, it was a glorious ride.
>> Phyllis: Oh, I loved him.
There are just some hurdles
you cannot get over.
Then I connected
with your father.
>> Nick: Well, I guess
this is good night.
>> Phillis: Yeah, I guess so.
I feel like I can tell you
anything and you'll still
like me.
>> Nick: I want to know
everything about you.
>> Phillis: You're going to be
sorry you asked that.
I can't imagine my life
without you in it.
>> Daniel: This is after
the accident with Cassie.
>> Phillis: Yeah,
no, that was a time in my life
where I was just lost.
And Nick was grieving,
and we just, you know,
we found each other.
>> Daniel: It's pretty amazing
how so much of our lives can be
traced back to that night.
>> Summer: It's weird to think
that I might not have ever been
born if it hadn't been
for Dad's grief over Cassie.
>> Phillis: Oh, no, no, no, no.
That's not true.
Hey, listen, your dad and I,
we have a very,
very unique connection.
And it's solid.
Although there are people
in town that would like you
to think
it's some superficial--
>> Summer: You were still
with Jack at the time,
though, right?
>> Phillis: Well, I mean,
I was sort of going back
and forth.
I didn't know.
And your dad and Sharon,
they, um...
Oh, it's so complicated.
But then, surprise.
>> Summer: I came along.
>> Phillis: Yeah, you did.
And then I didn't know
who you belonged to.
I didn't know if it, you know,
Jack was a father
or Nick was a father.
Well, okay, that's a lot of
information, right?
I was kind of going out
of my mind.
>> Lucy: Okay,
so what did you do?
>> Phillis: Yeah, what do you do
in those kind of situations,
right?
Um, what did I do?
Oh, I talked to my best friend.
>> Phillis: Michael,
what am I going to do?
Oh, I'm pregnant.
I don't even know
who the father is.
Can you believe that?
>> Michael: Look at the bright
side. You've got it narrowed
down to two possibilities,
right?
>> Phillis: Oh, great.
Oh, okay.
>> Michael: Yes, Nick and Jack.
And that's both great DNA.
And whoever the lucky man turns
out to be, you're going to be
a terrific mother to this baby.
>> Phillis: I could do this
alone, you know.
>> Michael: No, never.
>> Phyllis: What do you mean,
never?
Nick is fighting to save
his marriage.
I don't even know if Jack
wants another baby.
>> Michael: Phyllis,
time will tell, okay?
But there is one thing
I want you to know.
You are not going to do this
alone because Lauren and I will
be right in there with you.
We are all going to watch
our children grow up together.
It's going to be a freak show,
but it's going to be terrific.
>> Phillis: You are amazing.
I don't know what to say.
>> Michael: You don't say
anything.
I know you're feeling a little
lost right now.
But you're one of the strongest
people I know.
You can handle anything.
>> Summer: But Dad didn't go
back to Sharon.
He stayed with you.
>> Phillis: Yeah, he did.
>> Nick: You look beautiful,
Mrs. Newman.
>> Phyllis: Say it again.
>> Nick: You look beautiful.
>> Phyllis: The other part.
>> Nick: Mrs. Newman.
>> Phyllis: To us.
>> Nick: To us.
>> Summer: And then I was born.
And all was well.
>> Phyllis: Yeah.
Oh, my goodness.
If it were only that simple.
>> Lucy: So, what happened next?
I'm dying to know.
I cannot believe.
I've never heard this story
before.
>> Phyllis: Well, what happened
next was beautiful.
But also the most
terrifying night of my life.
>> Phyllis: Well, it was a dark,
stormy night.
Actually, it was a dark,
stormy night.
It was.
It was the worst ice storm that
Genoa City ever, ever had.
And I went into labor.
And so, Nick, he went to go get
the hospital bag, and he was
going to meet me
at the hospital.
>> Daniel: And that's when
he saw that my car had slid on
the ice, off the road into
a ditch and crashed.
>> Phyllis: Yes, and it was
saving your life.
And then, then I got stuck
in an elevator
at Newman Enterprises.
>> Lucy: Oh, my gosh.
All by yourself?
>> Phyllis: Fortunately not.
>>> Phyllis: Do you believe
in karma?
>> Jack: If it exists,
I'm screwed.
>> Phyllis: Do you believe
in karma?
That all the good and bad
things that we've done in
our life come back to haunt us,
full circle?
>> Jack: Yeah, I suppose.
I've come to look
at this as karma.
>> Phyllis: How?
>> Jack: All the time you and I
couldn't have a child,
and here we are.
Guy upstairs has got to have
a pretty good sense of humor.
>> Phyllis: Mm.
I'm glad you're here with me.
I couldn't do this alone.
>> Jack: Yeah, I know.
You love hanging out with me.
You know what, though?
We're going to get you out of
here, and we're going to get
you to a hospital, and you're
going to have this little girl.
And she's going to have a full
head of red hair.
>> Phyllis: And Nick will see
her born?
>> Jack: Yeah, I could use
a sub.
I think I need a breather,
coach.
>> Phyllis: I hope
you didn't mean that.
>> Jack: Why? What?
>> Phyllis: Because my water
just broke.
>> Lucy: Okay, so Jack,
the guy that you broke up with,
delivered the baby you had
with Nick, the guy that you
left him for?
>> Phyllis: Um, well, yes.
Yes.
But you were Nick's child
after all.
You were Nick's child.
There were some questions about
the paternity.
Oh, because Sharon changed
the paternity test.
She switched them because
she hates me so much.
So there's that.
Anyway, Nick and I didn't
live happily ever after, did we?
Oh, such a great ride with him.
And we are so good together.
Still.
Anyway, what do you think of
your granny, now that I told you
all those stories?
>> Lucy: I, uh, think
you're kind of awesome.
I mean, yes, you did some
awful things, but I think
that my dad and Summer are
pretty lucky.
You're a different kind of mom,
but you're a mom who loves
her kids and will do anything
for them, just like mom.
>> Phyllis: That is so lovely.
Thank you.
Thanks that you got all of that
from all those crazy stories.
>> Daniel: Hey, we should, uh,
probably call it a night.
You need to get some sleep.
>> Lucy: Dad, I'm way too wired
to think about sleep right now.
>> Daniel: Yeah, me too,
I guess.
>> Summer: So, Mom,
what are you going to do
about Sharon?
>> Phyllis: I don't know that
yet, but you are innocent,
and I will prove it.
And you know what the thing
that you said about pointing
fingers at Sharon
because of our history?
That's not happening, okay?
There are so many things that
I've learned through my life,
and one is my internal radar is
on point, and number two,
people will do really crazy,
crazy things to get
what they want.
>> Daniel: Okay.
But no going undercover
and no going against the police,
that's not going to help.
>> Phyllis: I'll be careful.
I will.
I will be gathering
information.
It seems that Chance already
thinks that you are guilty,
and I have to change his mind.
Don't try to stop me
from doing that, guys.
>> Summer: I think we both
know better than to do that
at this point. Okay.
>> Daniel: Yeah.
>> Phyllis: You are innocent,
and I will be proving that.
