[Knock at door] Oh, hi. Come on in.
Ben: Dr. Evans. Hi.
Marlena: Yeah, ben, i didn’t realize that we had an appointment.
Ben: We don’t, but ciara and I are having a party, and it turns out that she thought that I invited you and I thought that she invited you, so this is gonna be a little last-minute.
Marlena: Oh. Okay, well, when is the party?
Ben: Today. And I know how busy you are, but it would mean the world to me if you could be there.
Marlena: Aw. What’s the occasion?
Ben: It’s our gender reveal party. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And ciara and I would not even be having this baby if it weren’t for you.
Julie: Oh, shawn and douglas, thank goodness you’re here. I was beginning to worry.
[Chuckles]
Doug: Does belle need any help bringing anything in from the car?
Shawn: No, no, no. She didn’t come with me.
Doug: Well, when will she be here?
Shawn: Actually, I don’t know if she’s coming at all.
John: So no action on the stakeout, huh? Hmm. Okay, steve. Uh, let me know as soon as something breaks, all right?
Belle: [Slurring words] Hey, daddy-O.
John: Hey, sweetheart.
Belle: Oh.
John: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Be careful, there.
Belle: Whoops.
John: You all right?
Belle: Oh, yeah, yeah. I’m fine. I’m–i’m great. I’m fine. Izzy, are you drunk?
Belle: As a skunk. Mm-hmm. The devil made me do it.
[Laughs]
John: [Gasps] Easy, easY.
Belle: [Laughing]
Chanel: Hey, mom.
Paulina: Oh, hi, honey.
Chanel: Hey, I didn’t hear you come in.
Paulina: Yeah, I just got here a few minutes ago.
Chanel: Um, how’s lani?
Paulina: She’s doing her best. You know, trying to be brave, bless her heart. I was just checking her to let her know that I’ll come back to the hospital anytime that she wants some company. How are you doing?
Chanel: Me? Um, I’m okay.
Paulina: No, you’re not. I can see it in your eyes that you’re noT. Come over herE. Come over here, baby. Come on, baby, just sit right down right next to me. What you doing moping around here, anyway? Aren’t you supposed to be going to a party with allie today?
Chanel: [Sighs]
Paulina: Chanel. Chanel, did something happen?
Chanel: Something happened, all right. Allie broke up with me.
Allie: Oh, goodie. A new onE. No, don’t be a petty bitch. You have bigger plans. You need to stay focused until you are readY.
[Sighs]
Ciara: [Groans] Hang on.
[Grunts] Oof.
[Clears throat] Hi. Sorry, I’m moving really slowly nowadayS.
Allie: Considering that this gender reveal cake was supposed to be ready hours ago, I can’t really complaiN. Are you ready for your big day?
Ciara: Can’t wait.
Allie: [Sighs] Neither can I.
Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our liveS.”
[Soft orchestration]
Ciara: Allie, it’s beautiful.
Allie: And just wait till you see the inside. When you cut open this cake, it is going to be a moment you will never forget.
Ciara: Oh, thank you so much for doing this.
Allie: Yeah, it’s my pleasure. I’m sorry that the baker was closed when you came by earlieR.
Ciara: Oh, no, all good. I know how busy you and chanel are. I figured you guys needed a break.
Allie: Yeah, we did need a break. From each other.
Paulina: I feel like I’m having whiplash. Then you just tell me the other day that now you are officially a thing?
Chanel: You thought me and johnny’s relationship was one for the record books.
Paulina: Well, what the heck happened? You sounded so happy.
Chanel: I was. One minute, we were making weekend plans, and the next, allie’s saying that she doesn’t want anything to do with me.
Paulina: Totally out of the blue?
Chanel: After she want to go see johnny. Then she came back and she was telling me that it was over and that we jumped in too fast and–
Paulina: Mm-mm. Nuh-uh-uh.
Chanel: W-what do you mean, “nuh-uh-uh”?
Paulina: I am not letting this happen again.
Chanel: What are you doing, mama?
Paulina: [Scoffs] What do you think I’m doing? I’m calling a taxi.
Chanel: I–I–
Paulina: No, I can’t drive when I’m upset like this. I tend to get lost.
Chanel: A taxi to go where?
Paulina: Where do you think I’m going? I’m going to get miss allie horton a piece of my mind!
Chanel: What?
Paulina: Uh-huh. Nobody messes with my baby and gets away with it. Oh, ooh. Yes, yes, I need a taxI. Yes, my address is 211 walnut avenue.
John: Drink.
Belle: Oh, I’m not thirsty.
John: Drink.
Belle: Yes, sir.
John: Good girl.
[Claps] Now talk.
Belle: Nothing to talk about.
John: Eh, no, I think there might be. You see, I came in really late last night from a stakeout and your mother said you stayed here overnight because you got in some kind of a fight with shawn?
Belle: Yep. Some kind.
John: Yeah. Now, i don’t know all the details, but it had to be a doozy, ’cause it’s not like you to get yourself smashed in the middle of the day.
Belle: Well, it’s not every day you find out that jan spears is gonna have your husband’s baby.
Julie: You slept with jan spears?
Shawn: No, I slept with my wife. I just– I thought jan was belle.
Julie: How drunk were you?
Shawn: I wasn’t drunk at alL. It was the devil. He morphed jan into looking exactly like belle.
Julie: Oh, lord.
Shawn: I don’t know. I guess I should’ve known, but i–
Doug: You remember who you’re talking to here?
Julie: My darling husband was possessed by the devil for weeks and I had no idea. So darling, if you need to talk with someone who understands, I’m sitting here.
Roman: Hey, sis. You’re early.
Kayla: Am I?
Roman: Yeah, and that hasn’t happened since 1982.
Kayla: Ha. Very funny. Well, I do have nothing but time on my hands now.
Roman: Yeah. Still can’t believe that burns fired you. How many years of your life have you dedicated to that hospital only to have craig wesley show up out of nowhere, take your job?
Kayla: Yeah, the worst part about it is I didn’t see it coming. But I am going to look at the bright side and take this opportunity to do some things that I haven’t done in years.
Roman: Like?
Kayla: Like go to a party in the middle of the afternoon to celebrate our niece’s upcoming blessed event. Are you ready to go?
Roman: Yep. Just gotta grab the party tray from the back.
Clyde: Way ahead of you, boss. Hey, if you two are headed over to my son’s party, any chance i could get a lift?
Marlena: How are you feeling?
Ben: About the baby, you mean?
Marlena: Mm-hmm. I know it was a difficult decision for you.
Ben: Yeah, I mean, every parent worries about what their kid’s gonna turn out to be, right? Not to mention what kind of parents we’ll end up being.
Marlena: Well, that’s– that’s natural.
Ben: Yeah.
Marlena: How is ciara handling it?
Ben: With a lot of research.
[Chuckles] She spent an hour last night talking about banking our baby’s umbilical cord blood.
Marlena: Mm-hmm?
Ben: Who even knew that was a thing?
[Both laugh]
Marlena: Oh, so much goes into having a baby.
Ben: Yeah, and I am fine with all of it. I do have my own concerns at the moment, but–
Marlena: Tell mE.
Ben: Um… my dad got out of prison and he’s bunking with us.
Marlena: Clyde is staying with you?
Ben: Yeah.
Marlena: How did that happen?
Ben: They let him out with nothing but the clothes on his bacK. He’s got nobody, he’s got nowhere to go, he’s got no job prospects.
Marlena: So you offered to let him stay with you?
Ben: I just felt like I owed him. After everything he did for me when I was in prison with him, it’s just–
Marlena: How does ciara feel about it?
Ben: She agreed with me.
Marlena: Mm.
Ben: But then, my dad started just getting overly involved with everything about our baby.
Marlena: I imagine clyde thinks of this as a second chance. An opportunity to be to this child what he never was to you.
Ben: I get that. I do. And he has been on his best behavior. I just don’t know how I’m gonna feel about things after this baby’s born. I don’t know if I’m gonna feel comfortable with him spending time like that with our kid.
Ciara: Wait, what happened with you and chanel? I mean, the last time we saw you guys at the square, you seemed so happy together.
Allie: Oh, you know, we just jumped into a relationship too quickly. It was a few weeks ago I was with tripp and she was with johnny.
Ciara: Right, but you both have had feelings for each other for a very long time.
Allie: I guess. I don’t know. Maybe we just need more time to focus on ourselves.
Ciara: Mm. So are you and chanel gonna be working at the bakery together now or?
Allie: No, nope. This delivering you this cake was actually my last official duty. So now, I’ll just have more time to focus oN…other interests.
Ciara: Mm. Well, thank you so much for doing that. What do I owe you?
Allie: It’s on the housE.
Ciara: Really?
Allie: Yeah. Consider it a gift.
Ciara: Oh, my god. That is so nice of you. Thank you.
Allie: It was an honor and a privilege to do this for you and your little one. You have no idea how excited I am to meet your baby.
John: So jan’s pregnant?
Belle: Yep.
John: With shawn’s child?
Belle: I saw her belly bump myself. She was so happy to show it to me.
John: Oh, my goD. You know, just when I’m starting to let myself think that the devil can’t hurt my family anymore.
Belle: Yeah, that old satan. Sure had it in for me, right? I mean, you bash him over the head one time and he never lets you forget it.
John: [Sighing] Oh.
Julie: This is what satan does. For his pleasure, he turns us against the people love most in the world. He sews doubt, and then fear, then we lose faith in each other and the whole family’s destroyed.
Shawn: Well, it didn’t work on you two.
Julie: Very nearly diD. I began to almost believe that doug had meant to lock me in the freezer and that he really had attacked me in the hospital.
Doug: Sweetheart, you didn’t really believe all that stuff?
Julie: I came close. The point, shawn-douglas, is it’s not your fault and i hope belle understands that.
Shawn: She says that she does.
Doug: But she’s not coming to the party?
Shawn: The thing is she doesn’t blame me for what happened with jan, it’s what happened afterwards. That’s the problem.
Julie: Well, what was it?
Shawn: Belle walked in on us and I don’t know, I was ashamed, I was embarrassed, and, like, I let her believe that nothing happened with jan and I.
Julie: So you didn’t let her know that you’d made love?
Shawn: I didn’t want to hurt her, and I just figured there was no reason for her to know.
Doug: But now that jan is preggers, there’s no denying it.
Clyde: So as a favor to your niece, your brother offered me a job.
Kayla: Did he?
Clyde: A very generous guY.
Kayla: Oh, to a fault.
Clyde: Not like I’m a total burden, though. I make a pretty mean steak and eggs, don’t I, rome? [Chuckles]
Roman: Yeah, he actually does.
Kayla: That’s great.
Clyde: But about that ride. If there’s no room in the car, that’s no worry. I can take a bus real easY.
Kayla: No. There’s room.
Clyde: You sure? ‘Cause I imagine you might feel a little uncomfortable associating with an unsavory character like myself.
Roman: We don’t need to get into that, man.
Clyde: Well, I’d like tO. I– I imagine you have some strong feelings about your ordeal with my fair-weather friend, orpheus.
Kayla: He’s no friend of mine.
Clyde: I get that. And I get that I got a lot to prove not only to the parole board, but this whole town. Especially my soN. I just wasn’t around when ollie was growing up and i really want to be there for my grandkid.
Marlena: You know, it’s understandable that you would have mixed feelings about clyde being involved in your baby’s life. We could talk about it when the event gets closer.
Ben: Right. Thank you.
Marlena: What are clyde’s plans now that he’s gonna be back in town?
Ben: Well, as a condition of his parole, he has to show that he’s going to be a productive member of society, so he’s working at the brady pub for now.
[Both chuckle]
Marlena: Roman hired him?
Ben: Yeah. He’s doing it as a favor to ciara. And then ej dimera offered him a job.
Marlena: Really?
Ben: Yeah.
Marlena: Why would he do that?
Ben: I guess they were cellmates at statesville and according to my dad, they developed some kind of a bond.
Marlena: So is he going to take the job?
Ben: No, it turns out that if he took the job, he’d have to leave town, and another condition of his parole is that he can’t leave the jurisdiction. Plus…
Marlena: Plus he wants to be around the baby.
Ben: Yeah, and you know what? To be honest, the three of us in this apartment’s already a little too close for comfort, so i’m hoping he just saves up enough money and he moves out before the baby’s born.
Marlena: That’s going to happen very sooN.
Ben: Yeah, I know, but it’s just already enough stress going on right now and ciara being pregnant on top of it and finding out that the devil was after our baby.
Marlena: Yeah. Not once, but twicE.
Ben: And then right before we even get to breathe a sigh of relief, my father is on our doorstep.
Marlena: The good news is we know the devil is gone from salem for good.
Allie: So have you been nesting, buying cute, little onesies for your precious angel?
Ciara: No, not yet. Actually, I haven’t really bought much at all.
Allie: Why not?
Ciara: Superstition, I guess. I don’t know, buying something for the baby when it’s not even here yet kind of feels like it’s tempting fatE. Um, any advice on how to get this little baby of mine to settle down? It’s been kicking and going crazy ever since I opened the door.
Allie: I remember how that feels.
Ciara: Yeah.
Allie: Can I try something?
Ciara: Um, sure.
Allie: Talking to henry always worked for me. I’ve been told I have a soothing voice.
Ciara: You want to talk to my baby?
Allie: Do you mind?
Ciara: [Chuckling] No. Please go ahead.
Allie: [Sighs] Hi, little one. You don’t know me yet, but you will. Soon.
Julie: Well, grandson, what are you and belle going to do about this baby of jan’s?
Shawn: Well, I mean, jan still is in prison, so I–
[Doorbell rings] Hey, I’ll get that.
Doug: It’s so complicated, isn’t it?
Julie: It’s complicated and it’s terrible.
Doug: Yeah.
Kayla: Hi!
Roman: Hey.
Doug: I feel for them botH.
Julie: So do I. They all and shawn have been through terrible times before. We have to have faith that they’ll rise above this.
Doug: Right.
[Laughter]
Kayla: It’s so great. Hey, folks!
Doug: Hey.
Roman: There you are.
Kayla: Hi!
Roman: I guess we’re early.
Shawn: No, you’re right on time, actually. You can always get ready.
Kayla: Well, where’s belle?
Shawn: Uh, it’s kind of a long story.
John: You know, I can’t even imagine what you’re going through here, but i can understand why shawn didn’t tell you that he and jan slept together.
Belle: Yeah, well, I don’t understand. We are married. We tell each other everything.
Doug: Yes, yes, and no. Under certain circumstances, we may have to make choices. Sometimes they’re right and–
Belle: And sometimes, they’re selfish and destructive.
John: YeaH. Okay. So now, you know. I mean, what difference does it make when you found out?
Belle: Because if I would’ve known sooner, I could’ve prepared for this instead of being ambushed at the prison.
John: Oh. Okay, bottom line is honey, you hiding out here and not talking to shawn, it’s not gonna help you find any kind of solution.
Belle: There is no solution. And that’s exactly the way the devil wanted iT.
Paulina: Uh, what are you doing?
Chanel: Canceling the taxi. Yes, yes, I’m still here, but I’m not gonna need the taxi anymore. Thanks, anyways.
Paulina: [Scoffs] And why did you do that?
Chanel: Well, why do you think? Because I can’t have you fighting my battles for me, mama.
Paulina: [Scoffs] I’m fighting with you, baby! Chanel, you cannot just let allie get away with this! Aren’t you angry?
Chanel: No. I’m– I’m sad. I’m really, really sad. And it’s not allie’s fault she doesn’t want me and it wasn’t johnny’s fault, either.
Paulina: Yeah, but it sure as hell is their fault for making you feel like the gum on the bottom of someone’s shoe.
Chanel: I don’t know if i’d put it like that.
Paulina: They disrespected you, they led you on, they made you think that they care about you, and then they just drop you like that? Well, what excuse did allie give?
Chanel: She–she said– she said almost exactly the same thing that johnny did. Is it me, mama? Is something wrong with me?
[Sobbing]
[Downbeat music]
Ciara: Oh, my god.
Allie: What?
Ciara: My baby stopped kicking my ribcage.
Allie: No kidding.
Ciara: Mm-hmm.
Allie: Well, I guess the little one and i have a special connection already.
Ciara: Mm. Guess you do.
Ben: Hey, allie.
Allie: Ben.
Ciara: Hi, sweetie.
Ben: How we doing? Hi.
Ciara: We are great. Allie’s just brought over the cake and it is gorgeous.
Allie: Yes, baked with extra care and love.
Ben: Oh, I knew we picked the right person for the job.
Ciara: Mm-hmm.
Allie: It means so much that you guys trusted me to be the first to know about the gender of your baby.
Ciara: Well, you and the devil.
Allie: I mean, does he really count? He’s a lot more than a persoN.
Ben: Let’s not talk about that part, thougH. PleasE.
Ciara: Yeah.
Allie: Of course. So after waiting all these months, are you guys finally ready to know if your baby is a boy or a girl?
Ciara: Can’t wait.
Allie: Well, it’s going to be a party for the ages. Sey leave me?
Paulina: No, of course not, baby. There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re perfect.
Chanel: That’s not what you said when I came into town and I married xander. [Sniffles]
Paulina: Oh, okay. Maybe not perfect. But none of us iS. But what you are–what you are is you’re a beautiful womaN. You’re intelligent and you’re so special.
Chanel: I’m spoiled and selfisH.
Paulina: Mm-mm, you have grown a lot during this last year. Oh, yeah. I see. I see big plans for you, chanel. And as for those evil twins that broke your heart, now them, they’re the ones who have something wrong with them.
Chanel: [Sighs] I really thought I was gonna work with allie. I felt so good when I was around her and I thought she saw me.
Paulina: Well, it’s her loss, babY. And you know what? You can do so much better than her or her brother. And those tears? They’re not worth those tearS.
[Chuckling] No.
Chanel: [Sobs]
Paulina: Mm-mm, mm-mm.
Chanel: Thank you, mama.
Paulina: No, thank you, baby, for bringing such joy into my life. Mm-hmm. You’re going places, chanel. And believe me, you are better off without both of theM.
Chanel: [Sniffles]
Paulina: Okay?
Allie: The guests of honor have arrived.
[Cheers and applause]
Julie: Mwah, darling!
Doug: I know, I knoW.
[Both smooch]
Ben: Hello.
Julie: Hello.
Ben: Good to see you. Hello, hello, hello, hello. Good to see you.
Doug: Ben and ciara and baby makes three
[Laughter]
Ciara: Yes, it does. And just so you all know, the cake that allie has so kindly baked for us is more than just a cake. There is a very special surprise insidE.
Roman: Hmm.
Allie: Yeah, sorry it took so long. We had a bit of a personnel issue at the bakerY.
Roman: What kind of issue?
Allie: I quit.
Kayla: You quit sweet bits? Why?
Allie: It’s really a story for another day, but as for the cake, I can promise you that it is worth the wait.
Julie: Ah.
John: Are you really gonna give up on your marriage that easily?
Belle: No, of course I’m not gonna give uP. It’s just, you know, jan and all her schemes, they just– they felt almost comical after a while.
John: I’m not sure I ever saw the humor.
Belle: Oh, well, I’m not saying she wasn’t evil and conniving, i’m just saying she was never smart enough to finish something she set out to do. I mean, she’s like wile E. Coyote, right? Just blows herself up over and over agaiN.
John: Okay. That, i can see.
Belle: But the devil saw something in her. A willing partner. And when someone like jan teams up with the ultimate evil, that makes her extremely dangerous.
Marlena: Hey, I, um, I thought I would call belle and see if I can talk her into joining us.
Shawn: Thank you, but i’m not really holding out much hope.
Marlena: Okay, well, then I will hold out enough hope for both of us. How’s that?
Clyde: And you might think a guy like me would be hoping for a blue cake today, passing down the name and alL.
Ben: But dad–
Clyde: But you know, ollie here changed his name, but I’ve always liked olivia for a girl.
Ben: Let’s go get you a drink, huh?
Ciara: Yeah, good plan.
Ben: Good plan.
Roman: Excuse me.
[Clears throat] Allie.
Allie: Oh, hi, grandpa.
Roman: Hi. Um… everything okay?
Allie: Yeah, of course. I’m just happy to be around all of these wonderful people. Why?
Roman: Well, I was just surprised to hear you quit the bakerY. And, uh, I don’t know, you just seem a little like– not yourself.
Allie: It’s been a rough couple of days, but I’m good. Really. Best I’ve ever been.
Marlena: Okay. Uh, belle won’t be coming. She said she’s just not up to it.
Shawn: Yeah, she doesn’t want to celebrate someone’s baby. I get that.
Doug: Gender reveal parties? Boy, there wasn’t anything like that in my day. [Chuckles]
Julie: Well, there weren’t any microwave ovens, either, darling.
Doug: True, truE.
Julie: I think it’s fun.
Kayla: Yeah, it’s another excuse to have a party, anyway, right?
Doug: Right. [Chuckles]
Julie: [Chuckles]
Ciara: So I just wanted to thank you guys for coming and celebrating with us and this little nugget over here.
Roman: I have heard horror stories about these parties. Forest fires, explosions.
Ben: No, we don’t have to worry about any of that. All we have is a delicious desserT.
Doug: Right. You’re gonna assure me that there’s not gonna be any fireworks?
Julie: Well, I campaigned for something exciting, but I was told, oh, no, it’s all going to be very…
[Imitates splat sound] Conservative. Going to be sedate.
[Laughter]
Ciara: [Sighs]
Shawn: So you got feelings? Boy, girl, does it matter?
Ben: Nope. Not at all.
Ciara: Mm-mM. I always say as long as the baby’s healthy and obviously, we want our baby to be healthy, but after this pregnancy, no matter what, we’re going to love this baby with our whole hearts and souls.
Ben: Amen.
Ciara: Yeah.
Doug: Marlena, honey, you have a apologized to us a million times.
Julie: And a million times, we’ve told you you have nothing to apologize for.
Marlena: I did such horrible things to both of you.
Julie: Well, we know it wasn’t really you doing those things. Oh, no. From the first day, the first encounter with satan, you were so bravE. You saved my husband’s lifE. You made a deal with the devil for doug’s sake knowing what it was like when he came into your body before knowing what it would be like agaiN. Marlena, you’re a hero.
Allie: I agree. Grandma, you’re a queeN.
Marlena: You are so sweet.
Allie: I mean it. You know, we haven’t been spending a lot of time together recently. I really do miss you.
Chanel: It’s not just that allie broke up with me. I lost my girlfriend, but also my best friend and business partner. I would probably just leave salem and start all over if it wasn’t for the bakery.
Paulina: Mm, so, doesn’t have anything to do with you wanting to stay close to your mama?
Chanel: Oh, sorry, mama. You know you mean more to me than the bakery does. And lani and my sweet, little niece and nephew.
Paulina: [Chuckles] Baby, you know I’m just teasing. I know how much we all mean to you. [Sighs] Now, that goes both ways, darling girl. You listen to me. Don’t you even think about letting those creepy twins run you off. You stay here, you hold your head up high, and you be proud of who you are. Just as proud as i am of you. Aw.
Chanel: [Sniffles]
Allie: Sometimes, a gender reveal cake is just a regular cake with food coloring, but I wanted to do something really special for ben and ciara’s baby.
Julie: I knew you would. So what is it?
Allie: So when they cut into the cake, there’s going to be a delicious filling kind of like liquified icing that’s going to flow out.
Julie: Oh, like a lava cake.
Allie: Exactly. And it’s either going to be blue or pink. And then you’ll know.
Julie: Yeah, but you already know.
Allie: Of course. I had to know to bake the cake.
Julie: [Chuckles] Don’t suppose you could give us a little hint about what it is?
Doug: No, sweethearT. You have to wait a few minutes like the rest of us.
Allie: I promise you you’re going to be glad you did.
Julie: Ooh.
Kayla: Marlena, I am so relieved that you were able to keep your job at the hospital.
Marlena: Yes, but you lost yours. You sacrificed your job in order to save mine.
Kayla: And I would do it again. They need you there. But tell me, how were you able to convince craig to let you stay?
Marlena: Oh. A little blackmail. Not by me, thougH.
Kayla: Do you want something to drink?
Marlena: I would. Thank you.
Ciara: All right, everyone. The time has arrived. Who wants cake?
Doug: Me, me, me! Yes, me!
Julie: Anticipation is killing us. Yes, yes!
Ciara: Okay, so how do we do this?
Allie: It’s simple. Which one of you two wants to do the honors?
Ben: Ciara?
Ciara: Um–
Marlena: Oh, do it together.
[Chuckles]
Ciara: Perfect.
Ben: Ah.
Allie: PerfecT.
John: [Sighs] You know how many times your mother and I felt we were up against an insurmountable obstacle? And every time, every single time, we came out the other side even stronger.
Belle: I know. You have.
John: And I have faith that you and shawn will, toO.
Belle: That’s the thing, dad. It’s always been shawn and me against jaN. Together. But this time–
John: This time what? You think that shawn’s not on your side?
Belle: I know shawn. And no matter how he feels about jan, he is never gonna turn his back on his chilD. He’s gonna want to do right by her. Just like last timE. A baby changes everything. [Sobs]
Clyde: Gotta say, I’m feeling boy.
[Laughter]
Roman: Keep it to yourself.
Shawn: I’m thinking it’s a girL.
Kayla: Oh, same, same.
Ciara: [Sighs] All right, are you ready?
Ben: I’m ready. Are you ready? Are you ready?
Ciara: I’m readY.
[Overlapping excited chatter]
Ben: All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
[Suspenseful music]
[Chuckles]
[Shrill notes]
Julie: Oh, my god! It’s blood!
Kayla: What do you mean?
Julie: Blood, blood, blood, blood!
Julie: What the hell’s going on here?
Allie: What’s the problem?
Ciara: Allie, no! Ew.
Allie: What? It’s cherrY.
Julie: Cherry?
Allie: Oh, oh, no! You thought–I am so sorry about this, but I think I know what happened.
Paulina: I know that marlena’s my sister’s best friend, but there’s something wrong with that caN. I mean, first, the grandmother is possessed by the devil and then the daughter.
Chanel: Well, that’s not their fault.
Paulina: Yeah, I know, i know, and I know i can’t blame allie or johnny’s behavior on satan. But I’m telling you, I’m telling you, there’s something evil running through those genes.
Allie: I am so sorry about the mix-up, but clearly, this is chanel’s fault.
Roman: Chanel? How?
Allie: Well, she’s the one who baked the cake and she must’ve grabbed the wrong tube for the filling.
Julie: So this was just a baker’s mistake?
Allie: She was a little distracted because, well, I broke her heart and quit the bakery.
Marlena: You did what?
Roman: Allie said that is a story for another day.
Ben: I don’t understand how she could make a mistake like this when the filling was the only thing that was important.
Allie: I don’t know what to say.
Ciara: Okay, but you’ve seen the sonogram, right? So what was this supposed to be? Pink? Does that mean we are having a girl?
Belle: Look at what happened when I was born. I basically destroyed mom’s entire familY.
John: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Baby girl, you were a gift to us. Your mother and I, we loved each other desperately for so lonG. But shawn doesn’t love jan and she’s obsessed with him at besT.
Belle: [Scoffs] She thinks she loves him.
John: You know, I don’t give a damn about jan spears. And I don’t know what’s gonna happen with this baby, but I do know that you and shawn are gonna survive this. Sweetheart, love always prevails over evil, whether it takes the form of jan spears or the damn devil himself. Oh, baby girl.
[Delicate music]
Ben: Well?
Allie: Is this really how you want to find out?
Ciara: No, obviously not, but allie, we can’t just wait for you to make a whole other cake.
Ben: No, please, just tell us what we’re having.
