THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
Kristen, are you here? We need to talk! Kristen, come out and show yourself!
Ugh, my God, there is no need to shout, Xander. I’m right here. [chuckles] I have some good news.
What, you talked to Rolf?
I did, and he is more confident than ever that his adjusted formula will cure Sarah’s paralysis.
That is really good news.
Mm-hmm. Do you have some good news for me? Did you and your wife speak to my brother about Brady’s case?
Uh, actually, we just met with him.
And?
And Sarah told him that she was mistaken when she ID’d Brady as the driver that hit her. So can we have that serum, please?
[sighs] ,::,
Eric.
I’m sorry to stop by unannounced, but I need to talk to you.
I assume it’s about Brady. Look, Eric, I–I should have reached out to you after I came forward.
Listen. That is why I’m here. There’s something I need to know. And I need you to be honest with me. [suspenseful music] Is Brady innocent? Are you covering for your mother-in-law? [suspenseful music]
Am I covering for Fiona?
Yes. Was she the driver who hit you?
Hey there.
Hello.
It’s me, Sophia. From the Bistro?
Oh, yeah, of course.
Let me guess. Our dinner menu was so impressive, you’re heading back to try our lunch special? [suspenseful jazz music]
God, I hope Brady’s brother bought my story. Otherwise–[sighs] Actually–[sighs] Let’s just not think about otherwise.
Actually, no. I’m not heading to the Bistro.
Too bad. I was going to steer you to my table and give you an update on my love life. You know, the guy I like?
Mm. The one with the girlfriend?
Well, she’s not his girlfriend anymore.
Oh?
Yeah. So sad. They broke up.
Hmm. [suspenseful music] [upbeat accordion music]
Uh, yeah, yeah, flight was great, especially because I slept through most of it. Knocked out in Salem, and next thing you know, bonjour, we’re landing in Paris. [chuckles]
Aw! Well, I’m so glad you arrived safely.
We did. And Grandma, it is so beautiful here.
Really? Paris is beautiful? Hmm. I haven’t heard. [chuckles]
Hey, better not be making fun of me or else I’m not going to bring you back any chocolate.
Oh? But I thought I was getting a Hermès scarf.
[laughs] OK, fine. You’ll get that too.
No, I’m teasing, of course. Holly, the only thing you need to bring back is yourself. Holly, have you– have you seen your mom?
Uh, no, not yet. We’re meeting at this café in a little while. Thought it might be best to meet on neutral ground when we have, you know, our big talk.
Yeah. That makes sense. Well, I wish you luck, Holly. Um, it isn’t going to be easy.
I don’t see how it could be. I have to confront her about lying to me my entire life that Eric was the one who really killed my dad.
[car horn honks] [suspenseful music]
I–I think we should wait before– we’re intimate with each other. [Chad sighs]
OK, yeah. We can wait as long as you want to.
Well, I don’t want to wait that long. I mean, I– I just think there’s something that we should do first.
What’s that?
Chad, what if we got married?
You want to get married?
Yeah. Yeah, I do. Soon as possible. [ominous music] [soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”
Please just take me wherever you have Rolf stashed. My wife really needs the serum.
Eh, hold your horses, cowboy. I need some details.
About what?
Well, about EJ. What did he say when Sarah recanted her story?
What does it matter what he said? I mean, Sarah told him that she was wrong to ID Brady. That’s–that’s all you wanted, right?
And EJ just accepted that?
Without Sarah’s ID, he has no case, so– [suspenseful music]
So, um, EJ specifically said that he would drop the charges?
Well, I would hope he’s doing that as we speak. But if you could just take me to that lab, this is–
Hold that thought.
What are you doing? [Kristen clears throat]
Well, I’m going to call EJ and ask him if he’s actually dropping the charges.
Can’t this wait? [phone beeps] Every second we keep that serum from Sarah is another second she suffers.
[sighs] Oh, EJ. Yes, I wanted to talk– [phone beeps] What are you doing? Oh, I knew it. You’re lying to me, aren’t you? [Kristen sighs]
You think Fiona hit me. Why? Where is this coming from?
Sarah, please, just– just answer the question, OK? Was Fiona the hit-and-run driver?
No, of course not. Where–where did you get this idea?
From you.
From–from me?
Yeah. I saw you and Fiona in the park yesterday and I overheard.
You overheard us say what?
I heard you talk about a secret that you need to keep between you.
That had nothing to do with her being the hit-and-run driver that– Eric, I swear.
So that young man that you like and his little girlfriend, they broke up, did they?
Sure did.
Well, that was fast. What happened?
What can I say? She wasn’t treating him right. They got in a huge fight.
Huh. And did you have anything to do with that fight?
No, I didn’t have to do a thing. She messed everything up between them all in her own. [suspenseful music]
Oh, darling. This isn’t going to be an easy conversation for you or your mom. I just hope that you’ll find it in your heart to forgive her. I mean, to understand why she kept the truth from you for so long.
Yeah. Well, we’ll see.
I love you, Holly. I’ll talk to you soon, OK?
Yeah. I love you too, Grandma. I’ll talk soon. [somber accordion music] [sighs] Come on, Mom. Where are you?
Fiona and I were not talking about my accident when you overheard us.
Then what were you talking about? [suspenseful harp arpeggio]
You have to tell me. Why do you think that I’m lying about Brady?
Well, it’s just that I– I heard you and Xander talking yesterday in the bedroom. I wasn’t eavesdropping. I just happened to be passing by, and you were telling Xander how you’d lied to the police. [suspenseful music]
[sighs] Oh.
And I just can’t figure out why. Is it because you want to see Brady punished?
No. No, it’s not that. I–[sighs] I had no choice.
[sighs] I don’t understand.
Xander has been so consumed with anger, and he is obsessed with getting revenge against Brady. And– Fiona… [whispering] He was going to kill Brady and make it look like a suicide.
[sighs] Oh, dear God.
So you see? I had no choice. I had to lie to the police. And it was the only way to save Brady and your son.
I’m sorry, I just– I can’t say. But it had absolutely nothing to do with my mother-in-law being the driver that hit me. And if that were the case, I sure as hell wouldn’t cover for her.
You don’t believe me. Eric, look, I understand that it is hard to accept that Brady is the one who did it. But how can one overheard conversation convince you that it was Fiona?
Actually, it was more than just that one conversation.
[soft upbeat music]
Well, come on now. Tell me everything about this breakup.
Are you sure? You don’t have someplace to go?
No. I’m grateful for the distraction. So what did this girl do to mess everything up?
You really want to know?
Yeah. Actually, I do. I love a good romantic yarn.
I don’t know what that means, but get this. She totally went behind his back and started going through his father’s stuff.
Wow. Looking for what?
Who knows? Point is he caught her.
[scoffs] Oh, dear.
Yeah. Yeah, so he got all pissed and then she got defensive and then he got defensive and blah, blah, blah. Next thing you know, she tells him it’s over just like that.
Sounds intense.
You have no idea. I said one little thing and she went, like, totally ballistic. It’s really scary.
She attacked you?
Nothing I couldn’t handle. So anyhoo, short story shorter, she told us that her now-ex-boyfriend and I deserve each other and then stormed off.
Hmm. Sounds like she was quite upset.
Hella upset.
Hella. [chuckles] Yes, that is quite a lot.
She doesn’t even know the part that would make her even madder. See, when ex-BFF Holly finds out that her ex-boyfriend Tate and I–
Wait a second. You said Holly and Tate?
Maggie.
Oh, hi.
[whispers] I’m sorry.
It’s good to see you. Listen, you don’t have to whisper. After a busy morning in the park, it’ll take a lot to wake her up. Um, have a seat if you have a few minutes.
Yeah.
Come on.
I do. [Maggie chuckles] Uh, how’s Sarah? She’s, uh– she’s doing all right. She’s getting used to her– her new reality. Thank you for asking.
I just wanted to say I feel really terrible about what happened to her. And my dad does too.
I know he does. Listen, Tate, this is very difficult for you. It must be with your mom in prison and your father heading there soon.
It seems wrong to feel sorry for myself, considering Sarah’s in a wheelchair.
Well, you’re allowed to feel that way. Tate, you know that.
Yeah, well… feels like I’m losing everyone I care about. Mom and Dad.
And Holly?
She told you we broke up?
Yeah, she did.
She wasn’t in school today. Is she OK?
She’s OK. Yeah. She’s in Paris. [somber suspenseful music]
So you want to get married?
I know it’s sudden. But just being here in this old apartment, this magical city with all this familiarity coming back to me, these feelings, I– I mean, not memories. Definitely feelings. My feelings for you. I just–[sighs]
But you’re not ready to be intimate.
Only because–[sighs] I mean, even with the feelings, we’re still sort of strangers, in a way, to each other.
Yeah.
Chad, I– I want to make love to you so much. [chuckles]
[chuckles] OK.
But I–I just– I want to remember our love together. I also want to remember our life. The life that we had. Yeah.
I don’t know, I just– I think maybe getting married could make that happen. [tense music]
So you hope that by us getting married, you’ll get your memories back? [suspenseful music]
I know it’s wishful thinking. But we’re in Paris, where dreams come true.
I thought that was Disneyland.
OK, I’m being serious, Chad.
I–
Look, my memories, right, of the wedding vows, they came back. Imagine us getting to say them to each other here, for real.
[sighs] I don’t know if it’s Paris. I don’t know if it’s a gut feeling. I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know. I just–I feel like recommitting to you, and the City of Light might be the jolt I need to have memories come flooding back.
You think so?
Yeah, I think so. I really, really, really think so. So what do you say? [clears throat] Mr. Chad DiMera? [Chad chuckles] Will you marry me? [chuckles] En Paris?
So Holly’s in Paris?
Mm-hmm. She wanted to see her mother. Nicole couldn’t fly, though, because Jude had an ear infection.
So she flew to France?
[chuckles] Yeah, she did. She needed to confront her mom face to face about her father’s death.
Really sucks that Uncle Eric and Nicole lied to her all these years about what really happened.
Well, Nicole was trying to protect her, and we all just went along with it.
And I know how much that hurt Holly, but that still doesn’t excuse what she tried to do to my dad.
What do you mean?
So she didn’t tell you why we broke up?
Well, not in any detail.
[sighs] OK. Um, well… it all started when I caught Holly in my father’s room digging through his stuff.
Oh, my. What was she looking for?
She was trying to help EJ find dirt on my dad so he could send him to prison.
Oh, I see. So you confronted her?
Yeah, I did. And she got really defensive. Then when my friend Sophia tried to stick up for me… [suspenseful music] Holly physically attacked her.
So this boy you like, his name is Tate?
Yeah.
And his girlfriend’s Holly?
Ex-girlfriend, remember?
So you’re talking about Holly Jonas and Tate Black?
Do you know them?
No, not well. I just happen to live in the same house as Holly.
Wait, you’re not her Grandma Maggie, are you?
What? No. I just told you I don’t know them well.
Oh, right.
Maggie’s daughter is married to my son.
Hmm. Small world. Who knew when you ordered that martini we were, like two–
Listen to me. You need to forget that I ever ordered that drink.
Did you really think I was stupid enough to take your word for it that EJ dropped the charges?
Damn it, Kristen, we did as you asked. We told EJ that Sarah wanted to recant. He just wouldn’t listen. This is your brother’s fault, not ours.
So EJ is not dropping the charges?
He said he’s going to use Sarah’s original statement to put Brady away and there’s nothing we can do to stop him. [energetic suspenseful music]
Only that’s not true.
What do you mean?
Well, I mean there is something you can do.
Like what? We already tried really hard to talk him out of it, believe me.
Well, we can build the pressure.
How?
How? Well, uh, go public. Go public, tell Sarah that she needs to post the truth on social media. Tell “The Spectator” that she came forward and admitted that she was wrong about naming Brady as the hit-and-run driver. And then we tell the world that the DA is hell-bent on prosecuting Brady for something that he didn’t do.
Kristen–
Oh, hold on. Better yet, we could go to EJ’s boss. I mean, if there’s one thing I know about Paulina Price, it’s that she doesn’t need another scandal. And then we make it clear that EJ, my brother, has gone rogue. I mean, he’s burying the fact that his own eyewitness has taken back her statement.
I’m sorry, Kristen, I… can’t do that.
[sighs] Look, I admit it’s a bit of a hunch.
You’re accusing my mother-in-law of running me over and then lying about it based on a–a hunch?
Sarah, did you know that Brady and Fiona were sleeping together?
Yeah. Yeah, I did. She admitted it to Xander. She also said that, you know, they didn’t realize who each other were and that it was just casual and it didn’t last very long. Why does that matter?
It matters because Fiona and Brady were together the night of your accident. [tense music]
[chuckles] Wow. That was not the rousing yes I was hoping for. [Chad sighs] [suspenseful music]
I just, uh… I mean, first of all, Abby, you know that I want to be married to you more than anything in the entire world. But I thought that when we got remarried, it would be with our children and our families.
Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah, in a perfect world. But we get to go home to Salem and– and tell them the good news, that we got married. But we also get to tell them that my memories came back if we do this.
That sounds amazing, but what if it doesn’t happen?
Well, if it doesn’t happen, I’m going to stay true to my word. I’m going to tell the children that I’m their mother. That’s my promise to you.
What is it that they say? Come on. Fourth time’s the charm?
Who says that?
Me.
Me.
[softly] No.
Yep. This girl. Me. [Chad sighs]
You know, I can hardly remember a time that I didn’t love you. Or didn’t want to be married to you.
[sighs] Is that a yes?
You want to get married, then let’s get married. [Abigail laughs] One last time. [Abigail laughs] [ominous music] [Abigail chuckles]
You’re saying Holly slapped Sophia?
Yeah. Across the face.
[chuckling] That doesn’t sound like her!
Well, I’m just saying that’s what happened.
Then she must have been provoked.
No, all Sophia did was she called Holly out for snooping on my dad.
Are you sure about that?
Yeah. And she also might have mentioned that she has, uh, feelings for me.
Well, that’s provocative. I–you know, I don’t believe that Holly would hit her. I mean, I know my granddaughter. I don’t know this girl, Sophia.
Well, I’m telling you that I do, and Sophia’s actually– she’s been a pretty good friend to me. [soft suspenseful music]
Oh. How good?
What are you asking me?
Sophia admitted she has feelings for you. Are the feelings mutual?
[phone ringing] [Maggie gasps softly]
Oh.
Did you hear me, young lady? Not a word about that martini.
OK, OK, I heard you. Jeez.
I’m sorry, but my son and his family believe that I’m sober. And if they find out otherwise, it would be disastrous for me.
You look like you’re above the legal age to me. What’s the big deal?
Oh, it’s not a big deal. It’s an enormous deal. Do you understand? [tense music]
I guess.
Don’t guess. Swear. If anyone asks you, the only drink you have ever served me is tap water!
OK–
I am not some lovesick teenage rival that you can mess with, Sophia. You will keep your mouth shut or you’ll be sorry.
So Brady was with Fiona the night of the accident?
I guess she never mentioned that.
No, she didn’t. How do you know this?
Waiter at this small bar. He said that he saw them leave together. And when I asked Fiona about it–
Wait, sorry. You spoke to her about it?
Yeah, she happened to walk in when I was chatting up with the waiter. [suspenseful music]
What did she say?
Well, at first, she claimed that the night of the accident that she and Brady, well, they left separately. But when I informed her that the waiter mentioned something different, well, she admitted that.
So she changed her story?
Yeah, with another lie. She said she went after Brady knowing he was drunk, persuaded him to take a taxi.
You don’t believe her.
No, not for a minute. Nor do I believe that she said she hadn’t had a drink all night.
I don’t get it. Why can’t you go to the press or Mayor Price? I mean, just to force EJ’s hand?
Because he’s threatening to prosecute Sarah for making a false statement to the police.
Oh, that son of a bitch.
Look, I’m not going to let your brother lock Sarah away for perjury while she’s still dealing with the after-effects of this accident.
Come on, I mean, no judge is going to put her behind bars.
You don’t know that. EJ has deep pockets and a lot of connections.
[sighs] This isn’t right, Xander.
I’m not disputing that, but please. I did what I could. But I’m begging you, Kristen, just… bring me that serum. I know you didn’t get the result that you were looking for, but… my wife deserves the chance to walk again.
[suspenseful music] [Abigail moans]
[chuckling] Are you OK?
[chuckles] I’m so OK. I’m better than OK. I’m–
Yeah, me too.
Yeah, yeah.
Cloud nine.
Mm. [laughs] Thank you for agreeing to do this. [sighs] I know it’s sudden, but I– I have a really good feeling about it.
Me too. I mean, if I would have known, I would have bought you a ring.
Oh, I don’t need a ring. But I, um– I am going to need something to wear because I did not pack a wedding gown.
OK.
And Mama can’t wear this. [Abigail chuckles]
Um, OK. Then, you know, we are in Paris, which I’ve heard knows a thing or two about fashion.
Mm.
So why don’t you go…
Oh.
Buy a dress and I’ll make some calls and try to find someone to marry us? [Abigail chuckles] Sound like a plan?
No, sounds like a dream. [chuckles] [suspenseful music]
[Abigail chuckles] [Abigail sighs] [dramatic music] [Abigail sighs]
[phone ringing]
Um, I’m sorry. I have to take this.
Yeah, no worries. I’ll see you around.
OK. Take care, Tate. [phone ringing] [phone beeps]
Holly?
Hi. I just talked to my mom.
Did it not go well? [upbeat accordion music]
No, it– it went better than expected. She basically just apologized a bunch. And I don’t know, she seemed really sincere.
Well, that’s great. Um, where is she now?
She had to go home to relieve the babysitter. She wanted me to come with her, but I told her I just needed some alone time to think. We have plans to meet tomorrow, though.
Well, that’s wonderful. And how are you feeling now? * *
Relieved, I guess. I don’t know. Still processing.
And you will be for quite some time. And hopefully, you’ll be able to let your mother help you. And maybe Eric too. * *
[softly] Yeah, yeah.
So where are you staying tonight?
She booked me a hotel room near where they live.
Right. Well, darling, call me anytime if you want to talk, OK?
OK, I will. Thank you for the support, Grandma. I love you so much.
I love you too. And Holly… your father would be so proud of you. * * [phone beeps] [Holly sobs softly]
Do we have an understanding? [tense music] I said do we have an understanding?
Chill out, lady, would you? I said yes, didn’t I? I swear I won’t tell anyone how much you love a dry martini. I’m not a snitch.
Huh.
Good girl.
[Sophie scoffs]
Sheesh. What a bitch. [Sophie sighs]
But Fiona doesn’t drink.
That’s what she claims. [tense music] I guess it’s all just a moot point anyway. I mean, especially since you remember seeing Brady behind the wheel that night.
You know what? I, uh–I should go. I’m sorry for barging in here. And… and worse, accusing you of lying.
Uh, it’s OK.
No, it’s not. You’ve been through so much. And… I just can’t imagine how hard it’s been for you.
I’m dealing. And I know that it’s a struggle for your brother as well. I know that he’s feeling incredibly guilty, and now he has to go to jail. [suspenseful music]
It’s been tough. It’s been really tough, obviously. Not that it compares to any of your struggle.
I’m just worried about him, his kids.
I just don’t want to lose him.
Take care.
I’m sorry, Xander. No can do on the serum.
What?
Deal’s a deal.
Have you no heart? After everything you did to Sarah on that bloody island, you– you owe her this.
It’s a simple transaction. You make the charges go away, I give you the serum.
Your brother is the only person that can make those charges go away, not me, and he refuses. Come on, Kristen. Sarah needs to be able to walk again, to take care of our little girl!
Well, I have a little girl too, Xander. And my daughter’s father is looking to spend a decade behind bars! Now, I suggest that you put on your thinking cap and try harder to make that not happen! Now, I want Sarah to walk again, but I am not running a charity.
You listen to me, you miserable–
Careful, Xander. I’m your only link to that serum. [tense music]
You know, Kristen… [Kristen sighs]
You DiMeras aren’t the only ones capable of the unthinkable.
Have you checked on Rachel recently?
Why are you asking that?
Just reminding you what I’mcapable of. I mean, who’s to say your precious little daughter wouldn’t, I don’t know, just… vanish from the playground never to be seen again?
I would tread very lightly when making threats about the people I love, Xander. If you touch as much as one hair on Rachel’s head, I will make sure that Rolf disappears forever along with the serum that will cure Sarah’s spinal cord injury. Do we understand each other?
Damn you.
[Kristen sighs]
[mysterious music]
[phone ringing] [phone beeps]
Steve, what’s up? [suspenseful music]
Hey, Mark, it’s me. I have news. [tense music]
[soft upbeat music]
Hey.
Hey yourself. How are you?
Yeah, I’m OK. I just ran into Holly’s grandmother.
Oh. How was that?
It’s fine. It turns out the reason Holly wasn’t in school is she flew to Paris.
Wow, that’s great news.
Why?
Because I know that she’s been really mad at her mom for lying to her, so maybe now, they’ll have a chance to work things out.
You actually care about that?
She’s still my friend, Tate.
Yeah, but she attacked you.
Yeah, she did, but crap happens, right? Just because we like the same guy doesn’t mean I want her to be miserable. And OK, I wouldn’t hate it if Holly decided to stay in Paris. I can have you all to myself.
Hey, Maggie.
Xander, hi. We were just heading home. [tense music] Is everything all right?
No, everything is not all right. Kristen DiMera has a cure for Sarah’s paralysis, but she’s refusing to hand it over. [suspenseful music]
Oh.
Don’t you dare look at me like that, Father. We both know that you would have done much worse to get what you want from your opponent. I just hope I motivated Xander enough to help Brady get out from under those charges.
Cheers.
[tense music] – [words echoing] Was Fiona the hit-and-run driver? Did you know that Brady and Fiona were sleeping together? Fiona and Brady were together the night of your accident.
No. No, it–it can’t be.
[dramatic music]
[tires squealing]
Oh, my God.
