>> Summer: Mom?
>> Phyllis: Oh.
Good, you're here.
This shouldn't be happening.
>> Summer: I know.
The way you left my suite
last night, are you okay?
>> Phyllis: Oh, I'm fine.
Listen, I get it.
I get that my kids don't
believe in me to get justice
for my family and try to keep
my son out of prison for
a crime he didn't commit.
I'm all good.
>> Summer: It's not that
we don't believe in you.
>> Phyllis: I understand.
I really do.
You'd rather take orders from
Christine, be in Christine's
wheelhouse, and draw within
the lines and be nice.
>> Summer: Okay, we want to get
the charges dropped just as much
as you do.
>> Phyllis: I know.
We just have different ways
of going about it.
And that is all good.
>> Summer: Your way is going
to get you into trouble.
>> Phyllis: It won't.
And for my son,
it's worth the risk.
>> Summer: Mom.
>> Phyllis: No, no,
babe, babe, babe.
I'm okay.
I really am.
I've realized I can only count
on myself to get things done.
>> Christine: Daniel.
>> Daniel: Hey, good morning.
>> Christine: How are you doing?
>> Daniel: Still wishing I could
wake up from this nightmare.
>> Christine: Well, we're all
here for you,
and your father sends his love.
>> Daniel: Yeah, I know.
He's called me like three times.
Lucy, too.
You know, I promised my daughter
that when she comes home,
that we would have this
celebration of life for Heather.
One that's as amazing
and as beautiful as she was.
>> Christine: I wish I could
tell you that it gets easier,
the grief.
But I can promise you this.
I am going to fight like hell
to prove that you're innocent.
>> Daniel: I want more
than that, Christine.
I want justice.
♪♪
>> Christine: Heather will have
justice, and so will you.
I'll see to it.
>> Daniel: Any, uh, luck
coming up with a list
of potential suspects?
I mean, anyone from Heather's
past that may have held
a grudge or, you know,
had enough motive to go after
her that we can raise
reasonable doubt?
>> Christine: I mean, she put
away some dangerous felons.
But the ones with the most
serious convictions, therefore
the strongest motives, they're
still serving time.
>> Daniel: So much for getting
off the hot seat.
>> Christine: Well, hold on,
there's one thing.
>> Daniel: What?
>> Christine: The more I think
about Sharon's behavior over
the past few months,
the way she directed her anger
toward you and your family,
the more I'm starting to see
what Phyllis was talking about.
>> Daniel: Really?
>> Summer: You can count on me.
And Daniel.
But this vendetta
that you have--
>> Phyllis: Oh, my gosh,
it's not a vendetta.
It's justice, Summer.
>> Summer: Mom.
You hate Sharon.
You always have.
And now, you're trying to pin
Heather's murder on her
without any facts.
>> Phyllis: Okay, first of all,
I've not always hated Sharon.
I know that Sharon is guilty
in my gut.
I know, and my gut is
never wrong.
So the authorities, they're
sniffing in all different
directions.
I don't mind
getting my hands dirty.
>> Summer: You promised me
that you wouldn't do anything
that would land you in a cell.
>> Phyllis: I'm trying to keep
your brother out of a cell.
So, while Christine works so
hard to connect the dots and
prepare for a trial, I am
trying to stop one from
happening, Summer.
Please, why can you not trust
me on this?
>> Daniel: You really think that
my mom is onto something
with her suspicions
about Sharon?
>> Christine: As impossible as
I find it to agree with Phyllis
on anything,
the facts are compelling.
>> Daniel: Yeah, but you're not
saying that she's guilty, right?
>> Christine: No, of course not,
but I don't need her to be.
All I need is someone that
I can present to the court who
will help raise
reasonable doubt.
Okay, look, Sharon accosted you
and your family.
Heather, Lucy, all of you,
publicly.
Multiple times.
There are witnesses who will
attest to that.
And also, look, her fragile
mental state, her issue with
the meds, erratic emotions that
are resurfacing because of
Cassie's death.
>> Daniel: She has been
struggling lately.
>> Christine: Exactly, but most
critically, she was
the last person to see
Heather alive.
>> Daniel: Yeah, but it's all
circumstantial.
>> Christine: I know, it's true,
but you know what?
It raises a lot of concerns and
a hell of a lot of questions,
and we will use that
to our advantage.
>> Faith: I texted Lucy
to let her know that everyone
is thinking of her
and that we love her.
She's just hearted it.
>> Nick: Yeah, as tough as it is
for her to not be here
with everything her father's
facing right now,
Genoa City is the last place
she should be.
>> Faith: I don't know.
Lucy is a pretty strong kid.
Part of me thinks that she
could have handled it.
And the thought of her not
getting to say goodbye to her
mother, what do you think, Mom?
>> Sharon: Sorry, sweetie.
What did you say?
>> Nick: You okay?
>> Sharon: No, I'm not.
>> Nick: What's wrong?
>> Sharon: This funeral.
Laying Heather to rest.
I just...
I wish I didn't have to go.
>> Phyllis: I love you
too, Lucy.
All right. Well, I'm sure that
Summer sends her love.
We'll talk to you soon, okay?
Bye.
>> Summer: How's Lucy doing?
>> Phyllis: She's grieving
her mother and she's worried
about her dad, of course.
>> Summer: I just wish that
there was something that
we could do to
help her through this.
>> Phyllis: You know what?
Actually, there is.
She had mentioned her mother's
favorite flower is
a Texas bluebell.
Why don't we get one
and we'll put it together and
Daniel can wear it
as a boutonniere or something.
>> Summer: That's a great idea.
Yeah, I can take care of that.
I know a florist who will have
some, I think.
>> Phyllis: Great, great.
I'm sure Daniel will like it.
>> Summer: And that's what today
is all about, right?
Supporting Daniel.
Honoring Heather's memory.
Her family, their love.
So, whatever plan you have for
Sharon, that can wait
until tomorrow.
Or maybe never.
>> Phyllis: You should go to
the florist now because
the funeral is about to start.
>> Faith: If you don't want
to attend Heather's funeral,
Mom, you shouldn't.
>> Sharon: I wish that none
of this was even happening.
I wish that Heather
was still alive.
I wish that Lucy still had
her mom.
This whole thing is so sad and
I don't want to feel this way
anymore. I have been sad
for too long.
>> Nick: Sharon, after Lucy
and Faith's accident,
all the memories that it brought
back about losing Cassie,
it's understandable
that you're feeling
overwhelmed.
I don't think you should go
today either,
for all kinds of reasons.
>> Sharon: No.
I have to go.
As much as I don't want to,
I have to go.
>> Nick: Why?
>> Sharon: This grief,
this sadness over Cassie,
it's almost like it's become
a part of me or
I've become a part of it.
It just takes over.
And maybe,
this will help me let go.
>> Summer: One boutonniere
present and accounted for.
>> Phyllis: Oh, that is
beautiful.
Beautiful.
I still cannot believe
this is happening.
>> Summer: How are we going
to do this?
How are we going to say goodbye?
>> Phyllis: We just say goodbye
with love.
We hold Daniel and Lucy close
and give them the love
that they need, you know?
And then, I've got to start
making peanut butter
and banana pancakes.
>> Daniel: So, my mom's crazy
suspicions have some merit.
What next?
>> Christine: You know, Daniel,
today is about you
and taking care of you
and showing your love
for Heather and letting us show
our love and support for you.
[ Christine sighing ]
>> Christine: I just wish Paul
was well enough to be here.
>> Daniel: So do I.
>> Christine: He loved
how much you loved his daughter.
>> Daniel: Thank you.
You know, not just for
being my lawyer.
>> Christine: All you have to do
is concentrate on getting
through Heather's funeral.
>> Daniel: I have absolutely
no idea how I'm supposed
to do that.
>> Christine: We're all
here for you.
>> Daniel: Okay.
I should probably get going.
>> Christine: Yeah.
Hey.
>> Nick: Hey.
>> Christine: Morning.
>> Nick: I know today's gonna be
a tough day, bud.
>> Sharon: Daniel,
I'm so sorry that
this day has come.
I hope you're holding up
as well as anyone could be
expected to
under the circumstances.
>> Daniel: I'm hanging in there.
>> Sharon: Good.
>> Daniel: Don't take this
the wrong way.
I strongly suggest you don't
come to Heather's funeral.
>> Sharon: You don't want me
at Heather's funeral?
Is this because of Phyllis?
Her ridiculous accusations?
>> Daniel: It is.
>> Sharon: You can't
possibly believe them.
>> Daniel: I just don't want
a scene.
>> Sharon: I don't intend
to make one.
I just want to pay my respects.
>> Daniel: My mother is
convinced that you murdered
Heather and she is
determined to prove it.
Now, you show up at
the gravesite, I don't know
what she's gonna do.
I really don't want that on
a day that's supposed to be all
about Heather.
>> Sharon: That's the last thing
I want, too.
And I appreciate that you want
to protect me from Phyllis, but
I can hold my own against her.
I've been doing it for years.
>> Daniel: I'd rather just not
give her the opportunity.
>> Sharon: I just feel that
after everything
that's happened, I should say
goodbye to Heather.
It's the right thing to do.
[ Daniel sighing ]
>> Daniel: Well, I guess that
depends on where you're sitting.
>> Nick: All good here?
>> Sharon: Yeah, I was just
telling Daniel how much it means
to be a part of
honoring Heather's memory.
>> Nick: Hey, um, are you, uh,
comfortable with her going?
Say the word,
I will take her home.
>> Daniel: Clearly means
a lot to her.
>> Nick: I know. I'm sorry.
>> Daniel: Hey.
>> Faith: I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry Lucy isn't here.
I've been texting with her.
>> Daniel: I'm sure
she appreciates that.
She's, um, spending the day
with her grandfather.
They're gonna honor Heather in
their own way.
Figured, you know, that was
better than her having to
witness her father being
accused of her mother's murder.
>> Phyllis: I promise you,
I will get justice for you.
And my granddaughter.
And my son.
>> Summer: Hey.
>> Daniel: Hey.
>> Summer: I have
something for you.
>> Daniel: It's from Lucy,
isn't it?
>> Summer: Yeah.
She wanted you to know that
she's with you today,
even though she couldn't be
here in person.
>> Daniel: Heather had a whole
garden full of those back
in Savannah.
Had a lot of happy times there.
>> Summer: Let me help you.
>> Daniel: Thank you.
>> Summer: What are sisters for?
>> Daniel: Maybe there's, uh,
something else you can
help me with.
>> Summer: Name it.
>> Daniel: You could, uh,
will me to not
totally break down
and lose it today.
>> Summer: We are going
to get through this.
We're not gonna let Mom
ruin today.
>> Daniel: Have we ever been
able to stop her?
>> Summer: Mom.
>> Phyllis: Oh, my God.
I can't believe that bitch
actually showed up.
>> Summer: What happened to you
being all zen?
>> Phyllis: I am zen, trust me.
This is actually what I was
hoping for.
>> Summer: I don't even want
to know what that means.
>> Phyllis: Plausible
deniability, baby.
Plausible deniability.
>> Summer: Mom,
we talked about this.
No schemes.
For Daniel's sake, okay?
Just let today be about saying
goodbye to Heather.
>> Phyllis: The only reason
we're saying goodbye to Heather
is because of that woman.
>> Daniel: Hey.
Not today.
>> Phyllis: I got you, baby.
I got it.
>> Priest: We are gathered here
to honor the life and memory
of Heather Stevens.
To offer a testament of our
love for a friend, a daughter,
a mother, a deeply beloved
partner in life.
This is not an easy day.
In our grief, we are searching
for answers,
but there aren't any.
Trying to make sense of
a senseless act.
But we can't let the sadness of
the way Heather died overpower
the beauty of the way
she lived.
Her magnificent love for her
daughter Lucy, for Daniel,
for the family that
she cherished above all else,
and her sense of justice,
which was so strong
that she never gave up fighting
for what was right.
I now invite you to offer
a final remembrance of Heather
by placing a rose on her coffin.
A symbol of love and respect
if you are so moved.
>> Daniel: Okay.
>> Daniel: You know,
not so long ago,
you reminded me that we had
this wonderful love story.
I didn't think it was over.
You know,
I pictured decades of us
holding hands,
making peanut butter
and banana pancakes, walking
Lucy down the aisle together.
I didn't picture this.
I-- I--
I can't even imagine what
my life is going to look like
without you in it.
And I know I wasted
so much time that I almost
lost you and Lucy.
You're the best part of my life
And I promise you,
I am always going to be
there for her.
I know you're always going
to be there for me, too,
for both of us.
I know.
I know you probably think
you can get on with it,
Romalotti, you know.
Stop wallowing.
Go out there and do what needs
to be done, right?
That's what I'm going to do.
Here, let me take you.
You dedicated your whole life
to seeing that justice was
done, and I'm going to get
justice for you.
I am going to find whoever did
this to you, and I am going
to make them pay.
I am going to make them pay
for what they took from me
and what they took from Lucy.
[ Lauren sighing ]
>> Lauren: Paul is
so devastated.
>> Christine: Yeah, I know.
I checked in with him
this morning.
He's recovering from
his heart attack.
He's getting better every day.
He just wasn't well enough
to travel.
>> Michael: He would have given
anything to be here.
Hard to do from a hospital bed
in Portugal.
>> Lauren: Yeah.
It's amazing how well Daniel is
holding up.
>> Christine: Oh, God, my heart
goes out to him.
He's trying to be so strong for
Lucy and for what's to come,
but how can anybody face this,
knowing that he is being framed
for Heather's murder?
>> Chance: Why does it feel like
all eyes are on me?
>> Summer: Because no one here
believes that Daniel is even
remotely capable of what
you've accused him of?
>> Chance: I mean, I did not
accuse anyone of anything.
It was the D.A.'s call.
It was not mine.
Now, I'm not here as a cop.
I'm here to pay my respects
to Heather, and I'm here
to support you and Daniel,
believe it or not.
So can we please just leave
all the police business
at the door?
>> Nick: Okay.
We don't have to stay long.
>> Sharon: It's okay.
It's important to be here.
>> Faith: I'm gonna go get
some water.
You guys want anything?
>> Sharon: No, thank you.
>> Nick: We're okay.
Thank you.
You sure you're okay?
>> Sharon: It's just a shock
seeing her face.
>> Phyllis: Heather was
a beautiful person. She was
a beautiful soul.
>> Sharon: Yeah.
>> Phyllis: Murdered
in cold blood.
>> Nick: Phyllis.
>> Phyllis: You look pale,
Sharon.
>> Nick: Phyllis, don't start.
>> Phyllis: Is that how she
looked when you murdered her?
Did you look into her eyes
when you killed her, Sharon?
>> Nick: Hey, this is
not the time or the place.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, it is the time
or the place. It is.
See, my son is being charged
for the murder of the woman
that he loved while the guilty
party is standing right
in front of me.
>> Sharon: You know, I could use
a glass of water.
>> Faith: What was that about?
>> Sharon: Just Phyllis trying
to cause trouble as usual.
Nothing to worry about.
>> Nick: I'm serious.
You need to leave Sharon alone.
What happened to Heather was
a terrible tragedy and the fact
that Daniel is being framed
for her murder is just another
kick in the gut.
I know you want answers.
This is not the way.
Sharon didn't have anything
to do with Heather's death.
>> Phyllis: Are you sure about
that? Are you sure, Nick?
>> Daniel: Thank you for coming.
>> Nick: I'm so sorry.
[ Daniel exhales ]
>> Daniel: I don't know if
I can handle this.
>> Summer: Hey, whatever you
want to do,
it's up to you.
Everybody here will understand.
>> Daniel: Yeah.
>> Michael: Hey, guys.
Hey, Summer, hi.
>> Summer: Hey.
>> Lauren: We're so sorry.
>> Michael: Listen, if you need
anything, you don't hesitate
to ask, okay?
Love you.
>> Lauren: We mean it.
We love you.
>> Daniel: Thank you.
>> Nick: I told Phyllis no more
causing trouble.
>> Sharon: I appreciate you
trying to protect me, but we all
know how relentless Phyllis
can be.
>> Faith: Protect you from what?
What's going on?
Why is Phyllis all over Mom?
What kind of trouble would she
make today of all days?
And don't say that it's nothing
or Phyllis being Phyllis.
>> Nick: Okay. Um...
Phyllis is just so desperate
to protect her son that she has
come up with her own theory
on what happened to Heather.
And she is willing to tell
anyone and everyone
who will listen.
>> Faith: What kind of theory?
>> Sharon: That I'm the one
who killed Heather.
>> Faith: You?
That's crazy.
How could she be so hateful?
>> Sharon: Well, it's easier
for her to blame someone
she despises than to watch her
son go on trial for his life.
We just have to pray that
she gets past this and that
the real killer is found.
>> Faith: How can you be
so kind?
So understanding?
When she thinks it's okay
to accuse you of murder.
>> Nick: Baby girl, that's
the thing. She's not thinking.
She's just acting on pure
maternal instinct.
She wants to protect her son
so much.
I'm telling you, she doesn't do
anything halfway.
>> Phyllis: Do you have
information for me about
Daniel's defense?
>> Christine: It's on
a need-to-know basis.
>> Phyllis: You're the one who
embraced my theory that Sharon
killed Heather and is framing
my son.
>> Christine: Okay, I don't
believe for a second that Sharon
is guilty of murder.
What I said is I would use
your theory to create
reasonable doubt.
>> Phyllis: You're the one who
said that you wanted
me to work with you.
>> Christine: Stop, okay?
Just accept that I see merit
in your theory.
>> Phyllis: Oh, my God!
>> Christine: I will look
into it. Okay?
Leave it at that.
>> Phyllis: Fat chance.
>> Michael: Oh, wait.
Sorry. Wait here.
Christine.
Uh, that conversation looked
very interesting.
>> Christine: Ugh. Do you have
a specific question?
>> Michael: Um,
lawyer to lawyer,
how bad does it look for him?
>> Christine: No,
the circumstantial evidence is
pretty damning.
>> Michael: Sorry to hear that.
But with the truth on your side
and your mad, crazy skill set,
I am fairly certain that you
are going to exonerate him.
>> Christine: I have every
intention on doing that.
>> Michael: I mean, the sooner
the better. I mean,
I would think.
I mean, for one, you'd be saving
an innocent man and, uh,
so you wouldn't have to deal
with Phyllis on a daily basis.
Can't be easy.
>> Christine: No, and I'm trying
to give her as little thought
as possible.
Although apparently
I don't have much choice.
>> Phyllis: Excuse me,
everybody if I could get
your attention.
Um, everybody's attention
please. I have something to say.
And I think you'll
all want to hear it.
>> Summer: Mom, maybe this
isn't such a good idea.
>> Phyllis: I know what
I'm doing. Trust me.
I know what I'm doing.
>> Summer: Okay.
>> Phyllis: So, we all loved
Heather, right?
It was a senseless,
tragic death that we all still
are trying to find answers,
find justice, and it just can't,
can we?
Can we?
Well, but what we do have are
memories, don't we?
So, if there's anyone here that
would like to come up here and,
um, you know, tell a story
about Heather, one of their
memories, feel free.
Nobody?
Okay, well, I'll start.
Um, Heather and I had a very
complicated relationship
years ago.
Uh, you know, I wasn't,
I wasn't at my best with her,
and, um, well, it's safe to say
that that last year wasn't, um,
was challenging, right, for me,
and when Michael couldn't
represent me, Heather stood in
for him and defended me.
She defended me when people in
this town wouldn't even look me
in the eye.
I'll never forget that.
I'm so grateful to her.
She loved her family
with everything she had.
I will always be grateful
for her deep and abiding love
for my granddaughter
and for my son.
She loved her family with
everything she had.
>> Summer: I respected Heather
so much.
I admired her really.
When she became a mom to Lucy,
her life took on a whole
new meaning.
It's something that
I experienced, too,
when I became a mom under
similar circumstances.
She loved Lucy selflessly
and unconditionally.
She always put her daughter
first and did what was best
for her,
even when it wasn't easy.
>> Michael: Heather was
a ferocious
defender of the law,
a warrior for justice.
It was a privilege,
an honor,
to work with someone who was
so dedicated to doing
what was right.
Criminal justice was in
her blood, and it was so
wonderful to see
how close she and her father
became after
so many years apart.
And if Paul could have been
here himself, he would tell you
that he will always be proud
of his bright
and shining daughter.
No parent should ever have
to bury a child.
The heart isn't designed
for it.
>> Daniel: No.
>> Phyllis: Go ahead. Yeah.
Go up, you're with friends.
Just speak from the heart.
[ Daniel exhaling ]
>> Daniel: Heather is um...
Heather was a love of my life.
She was strong and beautiful.
And she knew exactly
what she wanted.
You know, more than anything,
she wanted for us to be
a family again.
And after everything that I put
her and our daughter through,
she never lost hope.
She never lost faith in me
and in our future.
She just made things better.
She made us better.
She made us a family.
She made us us.
And she had this light
and this joy that always
kept us safe.
We thought.
>> Phyllis: You going somewhere?
>> Sharon: No, I'm just...
I'm going to get some air.
>> Phyllis: You are?
That's hard to watch, isn't it?
It's like burning a hole
in your stomach, isn't it?
>> Sharon: Would you stop?
>> Phyllis: It's hard to see
my son in pain, right?
See his tears?
You did that.
You caused that, Sharon.
>> Sharon: I did not
kill Heather.
>> Phyllis: You did.
You did kill her, Sharon.
Please admit it.
Please.
Please, I am begging you
for my son's sake.
Please admit what you did,
and you know you did it.
Please remember who you are,
what you stand for.
Please confess.
Please, today.
Please save my son.
Please, Sharon.
Please.
