THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
Hi. Didn’t your mother teach you never keep a girl waiting? Six whole minutes. Next time be early. So just how many of these meetings are we going to need to have to get this little scheme to work? Uh, six. Sit. Yes, ma’am. We need to talk next moves. All right. So, our original plan was, you eat Teresa Occupied while Brady and I find our way back to each other.
But, since talking with them at John and Marlena’s was a total bust, and more importantly, you wimped out on Valentine’s Day, didn’t propose to Teresa like she thought you would, We, uh We need to explore other options. All right, do not put that all on me. First of all, Brady practically laughed in your face when you even brought up the idea of rekindling things with him.
So that’s not my fault. Okay, okay. No, it wasn’t your fault. But, uh, Teresa moving out of your apartment and into Brady’s That most certainly is. And, um, you know, maybe, uh, so you didn’t have to marry her. I mean, but you could have just strung her along for a little while. She overreacted, Kristen. She got needy and desperate.
And I’m not getting the whole big push for marriage, you know. I mean, it’s the 21st century, for God’s sake. There’s no stigma anymore for people just being together, having a fine time, you know? I I I I tried to make her understand that. No, you didn’t try hard enough. Oh, my God. Instead, you sent her running right into Brady’s arms to sob her widow eyes out.
Oh, my God, and now she is sleeping in the bedroom right next to his. Tissue? Pee brain at Grass Pile Con or productive that is. Look, Cruella, I’m not one of your little puppy catchers, so if you want my help with this, you better not talk down to me. Oh, I won’t talk down to you if you get serious about achieving our mutual goals.
I’m not screwing up every five minutes. Okay, first of all, you’ve done your fair share of screwing things up. And second of all, achieving our goal isn’t going to be a cakewalk. Brady and Teresa are all wrapped up in Tate’s drama, and get this, the kid got arrested again. Sneaking out of the halfway house to go see Holly.
Oh, God. Yeah. Another united effort to keep that little punk out of trouble, and, uh, that’s going to only make them inseparable. Damn it, Alex. Alright, we have to up our game.
And I think I know just how to do that. Okay, she’s done. Did she fight it? Not at all. No, I knew she was a goner when she started rubbing her cheeks. She’s very predictable, that one. Can’t help but wonder what you’re gonna be like during her teenage years when she’s sneaking out of the house with boys. Oh, well, our daughter’s not going anywhere with boys until she’s at least 27.
And even then, I’ll be with her, so Right. Oh, it’s so good being home. I just feel like I’ve missed so much. I mean, I can’t believe our little angel can move. Toy from one hand to another now. Oh yeah, she’s obviously very coordinated. She definitely is. When did she learn how to collab? Oh, she did that spontaneously when I told her her doll was coming home.
Oh, I see. Mm hmm. Hmm. You know, my mom really likes having her there. She told me that she would watch her any time. So, you know. Maybe once you’re all settled, we could plan another night alone. Hmm. Hmm. So, then when we pick our little girl up the next morning, we find her in Constantine’s arms again, I think.
I trust that slime ball as long as I can throw him. What happened in the past, partner? It happened because I lacked free will. Because Other people manipulated me into doing their bidding. Well, now I have free will and I’m exercising it. And if you care about me at all You’re gonna let me do what I need to do.
Poor John. I hear you. We hear you. As I said, I know Constantino’s never gonna forgive me. That is where you are wrong. I do forgive you, Joe. It is time to put this all behind us.
That means a lot to hear you say. But I can’t accept your forgiveness.
Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
Believe me, I get it. I do. I’m not Constantine’s biggest fan either. Well, you’re a whole lot more tolerant of the man than I am. Well, that’s because my mom sees the good in him, so I’m trying to as well. And now. That the Horton house is destroyed and my mom has taken in Chad and the kids and Doug and Julie.
Constantine has been really helpful with all of that and when I was there he was really great with Thomas and Charlotte. He helped to make valentines for school and you know he was always telling them stories. I always had a laugh. I’m sorry Sarah but um, I still think he’s a con man. He’s taking advantage of your mom.
Yeah well we’re gonna have to agree to disagree on that.
From what I have seen and what my mom has said, he makes her really happy and so I’m grateful to the guy for that. And you’ve seen it too. You know that. You know that mom has been much calmer and happier since he came into her life. Yes, I suppose I have seen that. So maybe Constantine deserves a chance.
I need to go to Greece. I need to turn myself in. Let the authorities do a full investigation into the murder of your daughter and that Is my path to forgiveness.
John, I won’t stand beside you, whatever you decide. But can we just take it a day or two to think this through? I’m sorry, Doc, but this is the right thing to do and you know it. Hey, hey, come here. Listen to me, buddy. We can go to Greece together. Pay our respects. How does that sound? Huh? But to turn yourself in for a crime you’re not even sure you committed?
You can’t do that, John. I won’t let you do it. Oh,
God, I hate seeing Tate like that. I mean, he seems so upbeat, and then, when Ollie’s name got brought up, he I know, and he’s, he’s upset about their straining order. I mean, he’s gotta stay a hundred feet away from her, which I think is extreme, but It’s no surprise EJ’s driving his train now. You know, if they were to stay a million miles apart from each other, I really wouldn’t mind.
God, Brady, why can’t that girl just come clean and tell everybody that Tate did not give her the drugs? Lisa, you know why? Because she’s, she says she doesn’t remember what happened that night on New Year’s Eve. Well Let’s just hope that Sloane Peterson comes up with something to force EJ to drop the charges.
God, I don’t, I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think our boy is going to be in that halfway house until, until the trial. No. Theresa, we just, we just have to hope for the best and hope to God, the, the, the hell is to it? So, well, it’s time for a new plan. What
the hell? Oops, I’m not really one for PDA, but I think I had too many mimosas. I mean, not to mention, um, Alex is just, I mean, so hot and you are a really good kisser. Ah, it’s really hard to resist. So what is this, just some sort of, like, random drunken old sloppy kiss? No, no, it’s not some random sloppy kiss.
Um, Alex and I, well, we’re seeing each other now. Oh. You gotta be kidding me. You didn’t know? No, I didn’t. Couldn’t care less, either. Alex, good luck. You’re going to need it. I’ll be fine. Thank you for your concern, though. Sure, man. I’m going to, um, go do some errands, but I’ll see you back at the house. Um, hey, babe.
Do you mind taking care of the check? I mean, I really need to, uh, speak with Rachel’s father. It’s really important. Of course. No problem. Yeah. Wow. Wow! I mean, we’ve barely broken up and you’re already in the arms of someone new and not just someone. The head case, who happens to be Brady’s ex wife. Alex, what the hell are you thinking?
Brady, wait. Kristen, you know, I don’t want to hear it. I don’t, I, I don’t want to hear what you have to say, alright? And if it’s important, then you can tell me over the phone, okay? Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, hold on. What? You don’t care that I’m seeing Alex? Not in the slightest, no. You sure about that? Yeah. Oh, I know what’s going on.
You’re upset that I didn’t react the way you wanted me to, like, you, you wanted something like, really, this is making me jealous, I don’t like this, I thought, I thought I was the only guy in your life, you know, I thought I was the only, you’re not gonna get anything like that, okay? So screw around, have your fun, have a good time, it’s none of my business, all right?
I just hope when you’re done with your little boy toy, you haven’t scarred him for life.
You can’t stop me from doing this, you know that? And you can’t tell me that. I don’t know for sure if I did kill that girl or not. Well, for God’s sakes, all the evidence is pointing at me. There were four people in that room. You saw me holding the gun in the room with Ponsontein and that girl. But nobody saw you pull that trigger.
Nobody. Now, John, I understand that you feel compelled to do this. But listen to me. You have to think about what you’re giving up. John, searching for answers will take you away for who knows how long. From your family, from your friends, from everyone who loves you. John, maybe we could try hypnosis. No point, no point.
We tried that before and it didn’t work. We tried to recover other lost memories here, there is no other way.
No parent should ever have to bury their child. And I am the cause of that for this man here, so I’m gonna go to Greece. And I am gonna face what I did and pay the price.
You are going to regret your dismissiveness to me, Brady. Are you serious? The only thing I Do regret is not being dismissive. Yeah, I think you’re gonna want to know a lot more about my relationship with Alex I don’t need to know anything about that. I don’t care about it. Like I said, it’s none of my business He’s a playboy.
Have fun. Get your kicks. Yeah, and the thing is Brady is um, he is fun and he Certainly has a way with women, but he is also smart and Sophisticated and CEO of Titan something that you Always let slip through your finger. Ooh. Well, you know, he’s Victor’s biological son, so it’s nepotism at its finest. It was only a matter of time before Victor’s last minute era parent ran the company.
Hmm. Well, you’ve been related to Victor your whole life and couldn’t hold a job. Oh, well, you know, we’re not talking about you. We’re talking about Alex. Oh, come on. Oh, he’s successful and he’s rich and he’s got a wonderful sense of humor. Oh. Oh, and you add it all up. I mean, he’s got everything I want in a long term relationship and a step parent for Rachel.
Excuse me.
You know, Theresa, when you left the other day, on Valentine’s Day, I was pretty broken up. You just took off. No rhyme, no reason. No reason? Really? You were toying with me, Alex. You had an engagement ring in your possession and you chose not to propose to me. Oh my god, Teresa, call the proposal police? What? I wasn’t ready to get married yet.
Is that a crime? That doesn’t mean that I didn’t want to be with you. And I explained that to you and you blew up and you overreacted. Oh really? So this is my fault now? Look, you weren’t supposed to find the ring. Okay, and I’m sorry about that, but that’s in the past now. So I don’t understand why you would even care if I’m with Kristen.
Care? I don’t care. I don’t care. I just, uh, why Kristen DiMera? I mean, she’s, uh, a little low class, one thing, don’t you think? DiMeras are low class? I’m not talking about status or money, but she’s a hardened criminal, Alex. I mean, how many felonies does she have under her belt? I don’t know. I don’t know.
Theresa, I don’t really care. Because what, with, what Kristen and I have, that doesn’t matter. What you have?
How’d you first get together anyway? Well, when she and I were leaving John and Marlena’s place, we decided to grab a drink. One thing led to another. Okay, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don’t need to hear it. Okay. Theresa, I’m sorry. You had your chance, you know. I tried making things work with you, you ignored all my calls, you ignored all my texts.
So eventually I had to get the message loud and clear that it was time for me to cut my losses and move on. So I did.
Look, I’m sorry, Sarah, but I can’t just give Constantine another chance. It’s my gut. It’s telling me, don’t trust a bloke. Okay, so it’s visceral for you. Damn right it is. I mean, just be honest. What are you talking about? That grease ball is making my hair stand on end. Well, okay. Maybe you could just put aside the anger and distrust and just try to feel a little bit of empathy for him.
Xander, he tragically lost his daughter. And we, we know what that feels like. Because of losing Mickey and You know, when Victoria was taken from us by the Greek Mafia because of Constantine, Constantine was the one who rescued her. My God, Sander. Could you imagine if, if we hadn’t gotten Victoria back, I mean, we’ve already lost a child.
If something ever happened to Victoria, I, I couldn’t survive that. I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t survive that.
John, please slow down, okay? Think about this. You’re not the same man you were then. Of course you’re not. You don’t even have a memory of that man or of what Victor did to him. The conditioning, the training. That’s right. Victor used you, John. He used you as a weapon. Steve is right, John. I love Victor very much.
And I hate to speak ill of him. But what he did to you, and what he demanded of Steve It was wrong. It was so wrong. But I believe in my heart that Victor didn’t know a young woman would get killed.
My precious Victor, he was also a different man then, just like you are, John. So please, don’t throw your life away, the one you built for yourself and your family, over a mistake. That, that was beyond your control.
It was time to cut your losses and move on. Really? And you just chose to do it with someone like Kristen DiMera? You do know, you do know that she is actually transported here from some other galaxy, right? Oh. You do know that. And, and that it wasn’t too long ago when she was parading on the moon. All over Salem wearing that kooky mask of hers trying to steal the identity of half the residents of Salem.
And need I even remind you, do I even need to remind you of the fact that she stole my unborn child out of my body and she impregnated herself with taint and gave birth to him. Nobody’s perfect. Do not make jokes. Do not do that. Especially when it comes to someone like a sadistic maniac like Kristen DiMera.
Do not do that. Do you know why the mothership hasn’t returned to take her back to her planet? Do you know why? Because they don’t want her. Oh. They don’t want her there. Because she’s not only a sadistic maniac, Alex, she’s also crazier than a loon. Well, maybe I like having a little crazy in my life. Hell, I was with you.
And you may not be a sadistic maniac, Teresa, but you are not a saint. And you’d be the first one to say it, that you have done plenty of things that you regret. There’s a difference. I regret doing those things. Kristen doesn’t have any regrets. She has no conscience, Alex. She’s too egocentric and arrogant to even ever believe that she does anything wrong.
You’re getting pretty worked up over this. I am worked up over this. I think it’s horrible. I’m horrified that you a woman like her. I mean, I am, I am, look, look at me. I am genuinely worried about you. Well, you might want to genuinely get over it. Because, see, you slammed the door in my face. Kristen opened the door.
We get along great. She’s fun, she’s sexy, she’s smart as hell. But I’m excited to see where things are headed.
You’re joking, right? No, I don’t think so. You would never seriously consider Alex to be a, a stepfather to Rachel. Why wouldn’t I, Brady? I mean, he’s got tremendous potential as a long term partner and as a step parent. And, you know, I have to, I have to consider this when I’m out there in the dating world.
When I meet a man, I have to ask myself, is he good enough for Rachel as well as for me? Yeah, after all, I mean, single parent is a package deal, Brady. No, no, no, I don’t, I don’t get it. Okay, why in the hell would you ever think Alex would have tremendous potential? His relationships last five minutes, and he has zero experience with children.
No experience with kids at all, Kristen. Hey, hey, hey. You know what? I wouldn’t say that. I wouldn’t say that. I mean, he, he had, he grew up with younger brothers, whom he adores, and he, he loved spending time with Tate. He, he did, when he was with Teresa. He likes kids, he told me so, Brady. Has he met our daughter?
Do you have him hanging around our daughter? Is that what you’re doing, already? Brady, Well, this relationship is brand new. I mean, we are still in the honeymoon stage. And as a cautious mother, I, um, I would not introduce Rachel to my boyfriend until I knew it was a serious relationship. But, uh, I, um, I’m starting to have genuine feelings for Alex.
So he and Rachel could meet any day now. Hey.
I know. Obviously it was traumatic when Victoria was kidnapped. Albeit, it was a mercifully short time that she was missing. And thank God we got her back. And now she’s not only Fine and healthy and happy. She’s absolutely perfect in every way and I say that without a hint of bias. I’m really glad we’re doing this parenting thing together.
And that Victoria has such a brave and devoted daddy who loves her so much. I’d die for her. And you. I know you would. Which is why I am so happy that I gave our relationship a second chance. My third. You’re sweet, it was like a fourth chance. Yeah, but he’s kind.
You have proven yourself to be a kind and caring person. To me. To my mom, to everyone who counts, we gave you a chance and you completely came through. You totally redeemed yourself and you showed everyone the wonderful person you are. So maybe Constantine deserves a chance to prove himself too. Uh huh. I understand the point you’re making and it is a very positive, very generous point.
I’ve, of course, yes, I believe that we should all hope that everyone can change, and that it’s very important to give everyone the benefit of the doubt whenever possible, but Sarah is different with Constantine. How?
You’ve been awfully quiet through all this.
I have been listening, learning more about you. And now I know for certain, after witnessing the love your wife and your friends have for you, that you are no longer the man who killed my daughter. So, I have now decided, right here, right now, That it is time for me to let go of this hatred. This, this need for revenge.
That has tortured me for all these decades. I cannot go on living like this. Especially since I, I found that life has so much more to offer.
And the truth is, I brought this on myself, John, by challenging Victor’s omnipotent rule. It was my reckless behavior that had my daughter taken away from me.
And I am no longer that man that I was back in the day.
Neither are you.
So Now I, I, I must ask you this one favor.
Anything. Do not go back to Greece. Please.
Go home.
What do you say? Can we move past this as I am determined to do?
John? I know how conflicted you are about this Because of your big heart And your integrity But punishing yourself There’s nothing to be gained by that And there’s so much to lose
Alright, I’ll try to
move past this I’ll help you. We will do it together. Right now. Let’s just go home.
Come on, buddy. I’ll head out with you. Come on.
Oh.
It’s different with Constantine because, I mean, what apparently the man has spent his Entire life engaging in nefarious activities, and he’s still tied to the Greek mob, and Sarah, his sole purpose for coming to Salem in the first place was just to swindle Maggie out of the Kyriakos fortune. And you have proof of that.
As soon as I get myself out from under these bogus attempted murder charges, I will find the proof. Speaking of which, what’s the next step with that? I don’t know, I just Now I’m just hoping that Harris Michaels remembers who did shoot him so he can clear my name. Okay, and, and What if he doesn’t?
What do we do to prove your innocence?
You know, given your history, I don’t know if this thing with Kristen is even gonna last because you are a love him and leave him kind of guy, aren’t you? Only time will tell, but I’ll tell you this. I like everything I see so far. I do mean everything. You slept with her already? Hey, a gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell.
Okay, you know what, Alex? You want to hook up with Kristen, you go, fine, do it, do it. Yeah? Thank you for your permission. Yeah. But when she comes blowing up your life, just like she blew up Brady’s life over and over and over and over again, don’t come crawling back to me. Theresa, I’m sorry if this is upsetting you right now.
This was not my intention. I didn’t expect for you to walk in and see Kristen and I kissing. That was very unexpected. And if I could do it all over right now, I would break this news to you in a different way. Whatever. And you know what? Don’t you worry about me. Alex, you moved on. Yeah, I get it. You moved on Go enjoy this little tryst with that creature from out of space Okay, but don’t be surprised when she sucks your brain up out of your head and she eats it for breakfast Okay I
don’t get it What’s to get you know, you know, you know damn well what i’m talking about You don’t even know alex You just met him for god’s sake so now you’re considering it Him as a, as a, as a stepfather figure to Rachel? You’re gonna have him hanging out with her? Oh, God, like I said, Brady, I’m having feelings for Alex now.
And, and I, look, Rachel needs a father figure in her life. I I am her father figure. I am her father. Yes. Yes. Yes, you are. But you’re not always around, Brady. I mean, you’ve got Tate to worry about, and there’s so much going on with him, and I need someone who’s going to be there all the time for Rachel and I.
Listen, listen, all right, number one, um, Alex doesn’t have a very good track record, uh, at being Reliable, okay? He is a shallow, flaky womanizer. You know that as well as I do. Number two, I know that I’ve made mistakes with Rachel. I have screwed up, and I’m trying to make up for that, okay? I want to get closer to her, but I can’t because you have full custody of her.
So the opportunities I have don’t come around. I can’t tuck her in at night, Kristen. I can’t, I can’t take her to the park. I can’t take her on a spontaneous trip if I want to, right? All you have to do is call. That’s bull, and you know it. Every single time that I want to spend some time with her, it’s not good for you.
It’s not a good time for you. It’s such a coincidence that when it works for me, it doesn’t work for you. You were depriving me of my daughter, Kristen, because I know what you’re doing. You don’t want me to get close to her. You don’t want me to have a bond with her. And the sickest thing about it is you’re making her believe that I’m to blame, that I’m the one that doesn’t want to spend time with her, that I don’t want to be close to her.
And you know, that’s the furthest thing from the truth, Kristen. I miss my girl. I miss her horribly and I want to be around her. Why don’t you tell her that? Why don’t you understand that?
Well, first Justin has to put together a rock solid defense that proves I was framed and all the evidence they have was planted against me. Rafe said that he found all the evidence a little too convenient. So I feel like we could probably get him on your side. Right, but we still have to give them evidence and like Rafe has never really cared for me.
I’m sure he’d jump at the chance to throw me in jail for any of my past crimes. And if we do go to trial, then any jury would convict me in a heartbeat once they bring up my history. So, no, I can’t count on the cops. It’s gonna have to be me who figures out who framed me. I’m gonna figure it out, Sarah.
For us. And for Victoria.
Maybe you’re right, Brady. Maybe I haven’t been open enough, uh, to you and Rachel spending more father daughter time together. So, you know what? Let’s set up a play date. How does that sound? Play date? Yeah. Yeah, that sounds great. Okay, I’ll take what I can get a play date. Just do me a favor, don’t bring Alex to the play date, okay?
Of course not. Alright, I’ll call you and we’ll um, we’ll set something up, alright? Talk soon.
Hello there, partner. How’d it go with Brady? He’s coming around. Once I brought Rachel into the conversation, he suddenly got very concerned about us dating and you being part of our daughter’s life. I’m not sure how I should feel about that. Well, what did he call you? He said that you were a flaky, shallow womanizer.
Yeah. Hmm. Well, Theresa’s not really a fan of yours either. And, um, yeah, that little kiss between us definitely raised her hackles. There is no doubt about it. She is Mighty jealous. Well, good. That’s how it’s supposed to be. You keep making her jealous, and you keep making her want more and more of what she can’t have.
And Alex, this time, don’t look things up.
I’m so proud of you. For what you did, it took tremendous courage. I don’t know about that. I only know it was time for forgiveness. Constantine, why didn’t you tell me it was John? John is the pawn who, who took your daughter’s life. Well, I, I didn’t want to tell you because I, I, I did not want to involve you.
I know how much you care for, for John Black and his wife, and I was afraid that it would hurt you if I gave you this knowledge. Well, it was shocking to me, I admit. But I want to apologize on Victor’s behalf for your daughter’s death. It’s very hard for me to reconcile. What I know Victor was capable of with the man that I knew and loved in his later years.
That is all in the past. I have you to thank for this change in my heart. I am a better man because of you. I think forgiveness was in your heart all along. But I’m curious about something. And what is that? When you first came here, you presented yourself as Victor’s dear friend. And from what I gather now, you and he were bitter rivals.
So, how can you explain that? Huh? It took years, but eventually we did become very good friends, even partners in some enterprises. As I explained to John and the others, my actions led to his actions, which means we were both at fault. But we both grew older and wiser. Yes, my enemy did become my friend. And for that, I thank God for so many reasons.
The most important reason is that it led me to you. I am so glad that is over. Yeah.
Now you can finally move past this, right buddy?
John, what’s wrong?
I’ve just been thinking about this more, and I know that, that, that both of you want me to move past this, but To continue on with my life as if it never happened, as if
I never took the life of that young woman. I can’t do it. I just know that the only thing that can give me peace of mind, if that’s even possible, is accepting the truth of what I did and paying the price.
