THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
[gentle music]
– Nice night for a wedding.
[tense music]
– Well, I picked up the bouquets. – Oh.
Is everything all right in here? – Yeah, we’re just trying to solve a mystery. When the wedding invitations went out, Xander’s mother’s ended up in a trash can.
And I just assumed that Sarah changed her mind and tossed it.
Well, that’s the thing. I didn’t.
Well, then, who did?
Look, Justin, I get why you’re hurt. I do. But I don’t think it’s right for you to stand here in my father’s house and drag his name through the mud when he’s not even here to defend himself.
What he did was indefensible. And I, for one, don’t know how you can stand there, waxing sentimental about him!
Because he was my father.
So was I, damn it!
[dramatic music]
But you’re not anymore. And it’s about time you accept that.
– Yeah, Kim, it is too bad you and Shane can’t make it back for Theresa’s wedding. You’ll be missed. Oh, you better believe I’ll be there. Got to have at least one Brady to represent, right?
Let’s make it two, just so we’re covered.
[mellow country music]
[cars honking]
[keys jangling] –
[sighs]
[soft dramatic music]
Stop thinking about it. You and Theresa, you were– you were never good for each other. You were never good for each other. You were never… good for each other.
[heavy breathing]
[sighs]
[laughs] How am I gonna get through this wedding, huh? How are you gonna do this? How are you gonna do–
Ah.
– Whatcha up to there, bro?
[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”
Oh, hey, man. It’s great to see you. I had no idea that you were gonna be in town.
Ah, well, my boyfriend’s sister’s getting married, and Dad always says you have to show up for family when you can. – Ah. True, true. – Which is why I’m sure he’d want me to ask about that.
[sighs] – You off the wagon?
No. No. No. I was–I was– I was thinking about it. – Why, Brady? I mean, is it because of Theresa? Is it because she’s marrying someone else?
[soft dramatic music]
– How many times did you tell me that we would always be father and son? I guess that was all talk.
I didn’t mean to lash out like that. – Then what the hell did you mean?
I mean, I think it’s time for you to get over your anger at Victor. You don’t know why he let you believe you were my biological father; I don’t either. But I’m sure he had his reasons. – Then tell me one. – Well, I can’t do that–
Just tell me one reason that makes sense!
I can’t do that right now. And why does that matter? – It matters to me, Alex. It matters a whole lot, actually. Because a man that I considered my second father has pitted us against each other, and he’s doing it from his grave! – That’s what you think. You think I’m your enemy now? Because if that’s what you think, Justin, you think it’s all his doing, then you probably shouldn’t be officiating my damn wedding ceremony tonight.
Maybe I shouldn’t.
Good.
Good!
Fine.
Fine!
Doesn’t look so good and fine to me.
Well, sis, you do know how to keep a secret. Yep, Andrew just walked through the door. Of course I’ll give him your love. Talk soon.
[phone beeps] Oh.
[laughs] Oh, you are a sight for sore eyes, young man.
Well, since Mom and Dad couldn’t make it, I’m the designated family rep.
Which is just great. Theresa will be thrilled you came.
I hope so.
What do you mean? Why wouldn’t she be?
[tense music]
John and Steve asked the ISA to investigate the attempted kidnapping of Sarah Horton’s baby from the Kiriakis mansion.
Oh. And?
Well, Dad passed the case on to me. John and Steve sent in some surveillance photos to be enhanced by our technology. Imagine my shock when the face in the photos was yours.
Well, I don’t understand, Bonnie. Why would you think that Sarah would throw Xander’s mother’s invitation in the trash?
Well, because that’s where I found it when I accidentally knocked over the trash can.
Oh. – Finish your story! Well, did you ever find your clothes? Did you–did you have to jump into the flooded quarry? Was it deep enough? It was pitch black. You almost died.
Has anyone seen the stamps?
No. Wait, are you sitting on them?
Oh, no, wait! Oh. Oh.
I just assumed that Theresa got into Sarah’s head.
Theresa?
Mm-hmm. Well, she kept going on and on how she thought it was not a good idea to invite Xander’s mother to the wedding.
[sighs]
That’s right. She did go on and on about it. And I didn’t change my mind.
Well, if you didn’t do it, then who did?
Yeah. If you didn’t do it, and I didn’t do it, that means–
Okay. Yes, it was me.
[tense music]
Jack, I didn’t know you were back in town.
Yes. I am in Salem. My daughter’s body was being exhumed, except it wasn’t there.
I’m sorry. What was that again?
It seems Abigail may still be alive.
Jack, that’s– oh, my God. How is that even possible?
It’s complicated. I don’t want to talk about it.
No, I understand. I– well, I pray that it’s true.
As do I, of course. She died too young. Never had a chance to realize her full potential, raise her own children, or run the newspaper that was her birthright and legacy.
[soft dramatic music] You know the one I mean, the one you stole from us.
Hold on, Jack–
You don’t have to say anything. You– you have more important things on your mind. And I do hope that this double wedding goes better for you than your last one.
Jack, I–
Although I have to say that both you and Gwen landed on your feet, blackmailed “The Spectator” right out from under Jennifer and me.
Look, I admit– – And I– I wish you the best today on your wedding day. I do. I look forward to reading all about it in “The Spectator” tomorrow. I still read it, by the way. Force of habit. – Jack, wait, I– Take it back.
[soft dramatic music] – Excuse me? – The paper, Jack. Take the paper back.
– I didn’t tell Theresa I was coming. Maybe I should have. She doesn’t like to be caught off guard. – Oh, come on. Who doesn’t like a good surprise?
[gasps] Oh, my God! Andrew! Oh! I didn’t know you were coming.
I didn’t know if I could get away from my assignment. It helps to know people in high places.
Aw. Well, Theresa is gonna be so happy to see her big brother. She always worshipped you, you know.
Well, I am so happy to see you.
Aw.
And I can’t wait to catch up with Aunt Kayla and Uncle Steve.
Oh, no. Neither of them are going to the wedding. My dad’s out of town, and my mom’s stuck at the hospital.
Oh.
Well, Kate’s gonna be missing tonight too. She’s in LA trying to secure the rights to a soap opera, believe it or not.
[chuckles]
Long story. Hi, honey.
Hi. Hi.
So how you been, Andrew?
Oh, I’ve been great, really. Oh, Paul’s in town, too, by the way. He stopped by to see Brady. – I can’t wait to see him, but for now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to the kitchen, get some things squared away.
Mm-hmm.
Okay?
I hope Brady is doing okay. I got the impression at one point that maybe he and Theresa– you know what? Never mind. She’s marrying Alex. If there was anything between her and Brady, it’s over now.
Hmm. I’m sure Brady’s fine. But how about you? You were dating Alex not too long ago, right? How are you doing with all this?
Oh.
Sonny.
Hey.
Hey. So… did I come at a bad time?
No. No, not at all. I just didn’t think you’d be able to make it. This is great.
Of course. What, are you kidding me? You’re my brother, or cousin. Whatever. It doesn’t matter. Although I’ll always see you as my brother, no matter what. – I feel the exact same way. Thank you. I should probably go get ready. And I will let you catch up with your real son.
[soft dramatic music]
So I’m not sure what I just walked in on.
Don’t worry about it.
Of course I’m gonna worry about it. Are you okay? – No. I’m not.
I thought you and Theresa were over a long time ago.
[sighs] We were. We were. Look, right now, we’re just focusing on co-parenting, now that Tate and Theresa are back in town.
How is he, by the way? – He’s good. He’s good. He’s off to lacrosse camp right now, but I don’t know. Theresa was really upset that he couldn’t make it to the wedding. And honestly, this whole wedding came up like that, you know? I don’t– I still don’t understand why there was such a rush.
You don’t think– – That Theresa is doing it for the money? Yeah. Yeah, Paul, it crossed my mind, okay? But she–she did agree to sign a prenup, though. – Oh, so maybe not.
Yeah. – But if–big if– Theresa happens to still have feelings for someone other than the very wealthy guy she’s about to marry– – Look, if you’re subtly suggesting that I’m that guy, no, no. No, Theresa and I are over. We’ve been over for a long time. Why are you looking at me– don’t– why are you looking at me like that? – Because, I mean, I just get the impression that maybe you wish you and Theresa weren’t over.
[sighs] – That you still have feelings for her. Am I wrong?
[soft dramatic music] – You threw out the invitation? – How could you do such a thing?
Well, like I said, you know, Xander’s mother is an alcoholic. What if she– what if she causes a scene and she disrupts the whole wedding?
Or she’s sober now and would have loved to see her son and meet her granddaughter. I cannot believe you did that, Theresa. It’s really awful. It’s appalling, actually. – I know. That’s true. It is. I’m really sorry.
Well, no harm, no foul.
Really?
Yeah. Because I mailed the invitation myself.
[gasps, chuckles]
Mm-hmm.
[laughs]
– I mean it, Jack. I want you to take back my half of “The Spectator.”
But you–
I know what I was. I was angry. I was– I was desperate and leaning in to my worst impulses. And I regret it now, profoundly. And you should know. You–you actually got the better end of that deal.
How is that? – Well, you might have lost the paper, but I lost– I lost my best friend. Maybe the only one I’ve ever had. And “The Spectator,” it belongs to your family, not mine, to the extent I even have a family.
What will you do for money?
[exhales] I’ll figure something out. I mean, my wife is a doctor. It’s not like I have to worry about our daughter going hungry. I don’t want “The Spectator” anymore. I mean it. I’ll hire Justin to draw up the papers.
I’ll keep an eye on the mail.
[soft dramatic music]
You give my love to your bride. What exactly did she see in you?
That is the burning question, isn’t it? – Well, you got a good one. Earn it.
– Look, I just want to help. Okay? And I want to understand about that drink I saw in your hand from earlier.
[sighs] I never thought that I would feel that Theresa was the one that got away.
Well, you know, if– you don’t have to go to the wedding if you don’t– – No, I– I’m gonna go. I gotta go. I’m not gonna– not gonna back down now.
You gonna be okay?
[light tense music]
Yeah. I’m not going to drink this thing. I don’t need it. It was just a weak moment.
– I’ll go pour this out. – Hey, man. I’m really glad to see you.
– Sonny, I’m so grateful you’re here, ’cause I’ll be honest, I’m– I’m having a hard time. – I know. I am too. I mean, it’s surreal that… Uncle Vic would do this to you. I mean, to all of us. – I mourned him, I miss him, but I will never forgive him for this. – I won’t either. – Alex has. He’s perfectly content with the way things have turned out. And the more he embraces Victor, the more it feels like a slap in my face.
[sighs] And I’m– I’m having a hard time even believing that it’s true. I carry around this damn letter that Angelica wrote to Victor, reading it, rereading it, trying to find just one thing that will tell me that it’s all a mistake, that Alex really isn’t Victor’s son.
[sighs]
[paper rustles] Tell me I’m crazy. – You’re not crazy. You’re not crazy, okay? You’re kind.
[tender music] You’re caring. You’re an all-around great person. And I’ll always be your son, no matter what. I love you.
I love you, too, son. Oh, Sonny.
[door opens, shuts] Well, I’ll let you two catch up.
No, no, don’t– don’t go. I thought about what I said earlier, and I’m truly sorry. If I’m being honest with you, I would be grateful to have you marry Theresa and me today, if you’re willing.
– It would be my honor.
I’m very happy that Alex and Theresa are getting married. I gave her my blessing, and I meant it. Alex and I have been over for a long time.
Seeing anyone new?
I was. But not anymore. – Hmm. I’m sorry. – Oh, it wasn’t meant to be. And you know what? It’s kind of funny. I’ve been going through this revolving door of men lately, and meanwhile, wild child Theresa, she’s the one settling down.
She’s settled down a few times. Let’s just hope this one sticks.
I keep thinking about all the trouble we used to get into when we were growing up. – You mean that she got into. – Yeah, yeah. She’s a wild child, like I said.
[laughs] And you must be happy she turned over a new leaf.
That’s the dream.
[mellow acoustic music]
You did what?
Oh, I put a stamp on Fiona’s invitation and put it in the mail myself. Now, I know it wasn’t my place to do so, as it was not your place to throw it in the trash, but I figured Sarah would thank me later.
And I do thank you, Bonnie. It was very kind of you. I just wish Xander’s mom would have RSVP’d.
Well, maybe it never got to her.
Or maybe she just didn’t want to come at all, that or– it’s one or the other. – Well, again, truly, I’m sorry. But honestly, maybe you kind of dodged a bullet. – I don’t see it that way. And you should be sorry, Theresa.
[baby crying]
Oh, oh.
I’ll get her.
Thank you, Mom.
You know what? You need to get back there and start getting dressed, missy. – Okay. – Let’s go. March. Wedding march.
[laughs]
[door shuts] – Oh, my God. That woman better not show up or I am screwed.
[gasps]
[dramatic music]
[knocking at door] Sarah’s–Sarah’s in the– Andrew! Oh, my God, I can’t believe it!
[laughs] – You look gorgeous. – And you look so handsome, of course, as always. –
[chuckles] Come in. – Uh… – Oh, yeah, that’s, Victoria. I’m just watching her while Sarah’s getting ready. – Oh, the kid you kidnapped. – Shush. – Ironic.
[chuckles] Well, I haven’t said anything. I told you I wouldn’t, not even to Paul. And I’m assuming that you’ve been staying on the straight and narrow, like you promised. – I have. Totally have. – Hmm. Well, you sure misjudged Konstantin. You thought he was a sweet old guy trying to woo Maggie. He could have killed you, you know. – I know. That was the– one of the scariest moments of my whole life. – Mm. Well, you don’t have to worry about him anymore, and I don’t have to worry about you.
I’m so thankful for you. Thank you for covering for me.
Mm, yeah, I still don’t feel great about it. Sarah checked in the other day and asked if the ISA had any leads on Konstantin’s accomplice. I hated not being able to tell her that– – Not being able to tell me what?
[tense music]
– Thanks for letting me get changed in here.
Oh, consider this the Home for Naked Scots. – How’s that?
I said, anything for the boss. – Well, I’m not really your boss anymore. You know, I just gave my half of “The Spectator” back to Jack.
What? Why? – Well, let’s just say I had an attack of conscience.
What about having an attack of looking after me? Am I going to get fired?
Of course not. Who doesn’t love Lady Whistleblower?
Everybody whose whistle I’ve blown.
Well, lucky for you, that list does not include Jack. Now, I should get changed. I’ll see you downstairs, yeah?
[light jazzy music]
Leo.
I thought you weren’t supposed to wear underwear under that thing.
The Scots did invent going commando, yes, but I’ll see you downstairs.
Oh, fine. Be that way. Have the place to yourself, just you and all the hidden cameras.
Cameras? – I’m teasing. – Ah.
I’ll be downstairs where I’ll be covering the wedding for my ex-boss.
[sighs]
Maggie, hello.
Hi. – Sarah, I was just saying that I hated not being able to tell you that we had a lead in Victoria’s kidnapping, but with Konstantin dead, unfortunately, the trail’s gone cold.
Oh. Well, what do you know?
Well, we still assume that he hired a local thug to help him out, someone who would have no interest in causing you any more trouble now that Konstantin’s dead.
[soft dramatic music]
Yeah, I’m sure you’re right that there’s no danger, but still, just, whoever it was being out there, it’s disconcerting, to say the least. – You know, I just– I just realized something. Since Dad can’t come to the wedding, I don’t have anyone to walk me down the aisle, so could you maybe–
Jeannie Theresa, of all the nervy, pushy, last minute– I’d love to. – Oh! – Oh, wonderful.
Oh, wow. Well, it’s getting late. Look at the time. Why don’t you say we go have a wedding or two? – Well, Bonnie’s still doing her makeup. – Oh, well, put your feet up. We got a while then.
[laughs] – I must say, I’m so glad that the two of you are gonna be sharing the stage tonight. I mean, you’ve both grown up so beautifully, and you make me so proud. I love you, and I’m beyond thrilled for you both.
[tender music]
[elegant violin music]
[indistinct chatter] –
[sighs] Sonny! – Jeez. – Well, of course, you’re here for your brother– your cousin’s wedding. Where is your not-better-half? – Will couldn’t make it.
There it is. – There what is? – The angle for this wedding story I have desperately been seeking. Now, Will is related to both brides, if I parsed the family tree correctly? Is this surprise absence indicative of trouble in paradise?
Oh, does that question earn you a punch in the nose? – Jackson! There is no reason to take that tone. I do have journalistic ethics.
Oh. Here’s another of your exes. Hey, you two made such a better couple than Swill– or would it be Wonny? Literally the worst of the portmanteaus. But if you ever wise up and dump that buzzkill, you should go for this guy. – Is that a fact?
– Sorry, Sonny. I tried. – Hey, handsome devil. Congratulations. – Steph, how are you?
Oh, you are one lucky groom. And you know what? My cousin is one lucky bride. I’m so happy for you both. – Thank you.
– Oh, Victoria, those are beautiful flowers.
[chuckles] Well, she was supposed to be the flower girl, but she fell asleep. – Mm. I’m sure it’s gonna be a perfect day anyway. – I hope so. Are you doing okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I’m good.
Well, if you need anything.
Maggie, the last thing you need today is to worry about me.
So do you have your lines memorized? – I have a cheat sheet. – Oh, good. I mean, just kidding. You’ll be great. – You think? – Oh, yeah. – Well, I almost got fired from the job a few hours ago.
What?
Ah, it’s okay. Alex and I– I guess we’re just destined to be a work in progress.
Oh, honey. I hope one day Alex realizes how lucky he is to have a father like you in his life, as blessed as I am to have a husband like you in mine. – Everyone, please take your seats if you haven’t already. We’re about to get started. Places, you two.
Oh, look at us, the heir and the spare.
[chuckles] That’s a cute skirt. Are you ready to do this? – Share the spotlight with Victor’s billionaire bastard? Can’t wait, mate.
[soft tense music]
[harp playing wedding march]
[music stops]
Oh, wait. Oh, my God. We forgot to plan one of the most important details. – What? What is it? – Who’s getting married first?
[dramatic music]
[indistinct chatter] – Okay, I think that Xander and Sarah should go first since this was their wedding to begin with. – Well, maybe that’s why they should go second because you’re like the opening act to their star attraction.
Oh, thank you, Bonnie. – I really don’t care. – Me neither. – How about– how about we flip a coin? – Seriously? – Heads. – Tails. – All right.
[coin clinks] Heads it is. – Yes. – Wait, but does heads go first or last? – Oh, for God’s sake. – All right, you know what? I’m going to make another executive decision here, all right? Theresa, Alex, you’re on. How about that?
[gentle acoustic music] –
[laughs]
– Welcome, all, on this joyous day, family and friends here to celebrate the joining of two couples. We’re here to unite in matrimony Jeannie Theresa Donovan and Alexander Neil Kiriakis, and Sarah Horton and Alexander Cook Kiriakis. The marriage contract is not to be entered into lightly, but rather thoughtfully and seriously, with a deep appreciation of its obligations and responsibilities. If there’s anyone present who knows any reason why these two should not be joined in matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace. The groom and the bride will now say their vows. – For a long time, Theresa knows, everybody knows, I was nothing but a player. After coming to Salem, all of that changed. A lot of things changed. The biggest of them all was realizing that I was Victor Kiriakis’s son. That turned my world upside down, to put it mildly.
[soft dramatic music]
Theresa, I would never have made it through that if it weren’t for you. You helped me embrace who I really am. And for that, I will be eternally grateful.
You okay? – Yeah, I’m just a little choked up. – Okay. –
[clears throat] So I’m gonna keep this brief. I just have one thing I want to say to you. And that is, I– I just want to make you happy, and I will, Alex, because you deserve that.
Alex, please repeat after me. I, Alexander Neil Kiriakis, take you, Jeannie Theresa Donovan, to be my lawful wedded wife.
[tender music] – I, Alexander Neil Kiriakis, do take you, Jeannie Theresa Donovan, to be my lawful wedded wife.
To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, so long as we both shall live. – To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or poorer…
Through sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, as long as we both shall live.
Now you, Theresa. I, Jeannie Theresa Donovan, take you, Alexander Neil Kiriakis, to be my lawful wedded husband.
– I, Jeannie Theresa Donovan, take you, Alexander Neil Kiriakis, to be my lawfully wedded husband.
To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, so long as we both shall live. – To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, through sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, as long as we both shall live.
– May I have the rings, please?
Alex, place this ring on Theresa’s finger and say these words. With this ring, I wed you as a symbol of my commitment to love, honor, and cherish you. – With this ring, I wed you… as a symbol of my commitment to love, to honor and cherish you. – Theresa, please place this ring on Alex’s finger and say these words. With this ring, I wed you as a symbol of my commitment to love, honor, and cherish you.
With this ring, I wed you as a symbol of my commitment to love, honor, and cherish you.
– It is with great pleasure that I, by the power vested in me, now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss each other.
[cheers and applause]
[tender music]
– Allow me to introduce for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Kiriakis.
[cheers and applause]
[tense music]
– Brady. – Hey. I got to go. I got to go. Listen, I’m headed to a meeting, all right? So, no, I’m fine. Please stay.
– Hey. Don’t print that. – Ugh. Do you have X-ray vision? Can you read upside down? How do you know what I wrote? – I’m a spy. I know all. Plus, I saw you watch Brady walk out of here. – Not my fault that’s the best view.
– Okay, if everyone could please take your seats, ’cause guess what? We’ve got to do this again.
[laughs]
Well, are you two ready?
[sentimental music]
Okay. Well, it is my honor and pleasure to preside over the final wedding tonight of my beloved daughter, Sarah, to the only man who she’s ever truly loved. I’m blessed to have known Xander for many years and watched him come into his own and be changed by my daughter’s love. It gives me great joy to see them walk through the fire and emerge stronger with a beloved daughter, my granddaughter, who was named after my husband, who we lost recently. I know that Victor– he would be very happy that his family has come together in this way tonight.
So if there is anyone here who knows any reason why these two should not be joined in matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.
I’m so sorry I’m late.
[dramatic music]
Who’s that?
Mum?
