THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sean, what are you? You do realize that it’s barely past breakfast time? I do. And do you have any idea how hard it is to find a place that sell liquor this early in the morning? Don’t joke about this. Listen, I wasn’t joking. The bottle that I had the other night just somehow mysteriously just disappeared.

So I had to get another one. Can I, can I please have my bottle back? No, you can’t. And if you’re wondering if I poured the other bottle out, I did. I confess and I would do it again. Son, listen, I get that you’re in pain about your dad. And that you’re tearing yourself out both of putting him in that coma, but this has got to stop.

Well, if it isn’t, commander Michaels didn’t expect to see you here. That was intentional.

So what were you doing behind the wall?

Dam it ej. I am more concerned about Megan killing Stephan than Nicole killing you. Why would she? What do you mean by that? For God’s sake? I was being facetious. Ohm supposed to be with Nicole right now at an appointment with a perinatologist, an expert in high risk pregnancies, one of the most sought after specialists in the country.

It was almost impossible to get an appointment, but I managed it. I am relieved because I thought Nicole had suddenly become homicidal. No, of course not. And honestly,

finding out that I was to be the father of her baby, I wouldn’t have predicted that it would mean so much to me. As you are well aware, she’s, she’s had a history of miscarriages and it’s all very heartbreaking, so her and I are very, very eager to find out what her chances are of carrying our baby to turn.

But now here I am with the appointment only an hour away, and our sadistic sister has got me tied up tighter than a rodeo calf. Yes.

Oh, Nicole, I’m so good you’re here. I just got a message from the perinatologist, so she should be here within the hour. Where is he? Jay? Is he around? Oh, you mean the man who’s supposedly excited to be the father of my child.

Thanks for letting me know. Is that about Colin guess? I tried to get him transferred to Bayview since he’s obviously in a bad state, mentally. Of course, Trask wasn’t going for it, no surprise. So he’s still at Salem PD and since he refuses to take my plea deal, probably end up at Statesville for the rest of his life.

Okay. What can I do?

Nothing. Except hold me.

Stop right there. Lucy, was he, excuse me. As much as I’m sure you would love them, they’re not meant for you. Oh, these are not meant for anybody because this is where they belong.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Pat, you are being extremely rude. Yeah. Well, at least I’m not a card carrying phony. Like this guy Unc Meister here is about a see through as as that underwear Xander gave you for Valentine’s Day. Look, I know you want me six feet under because I swapped out your priceless emerald for a phony. And now you’ve got double reason to want me dead because I am onto you.

Mr. Hoy toity. Mr. Too handsome for the room. This room. Anyway. Well, Gwenie here happens to be my truest and bestest friend in the entire world, and you have another thing coming if you think I’m just gonna sit back and watch you take advantage of her,

I was. Nearly getting acquainted with my famous family home, which is not your home. So what exactly are you doing here?

So you’re going to exile Megan permanently to a place she can’t ever leave and she’ll never hurt another soul again. It’s simple.

I’m done watching You hurt people.

Dammit. I have to get out of here. I have to get to that appointment. You know what? I didn’t. I didn’t know this meant so much to you becoming a father again, truthfully,

what means the most to me is Nicole’s happiness. I’ve got no pregnant twice before, as you know, and nevermind the drama surrounding those two pregnancies. That’s irrelevant. The important thing is that both times she miscarried and she was crushed. I don’t want her to have to go through that again. You really love her, don’t you?

I really do. Even if she doesn’t feel the same way about me, you know, EJ is the one who pulled strings to make this appointment happen, and now he’s not even coming. With no explanation, just some text that says, Ooh, whatever, you know, deal with it yourself. Okay. Those were not his exact words, but you know, I find it really surprising because EJ seemed really excited about this pregnancy.

Well, he is excited. Maybe I’m just overreacting. Maybe I’m, I’m hormonal, but I’m just trying to understand why he suddenly pulled a disappearing act. C, come on, gimme that. Come on, Val. Listen, I’m not hurting anybody. All right. Are you serious? Because the other night you were so wasted and ready to get behind the wheel of a car, and I’m just praying you don’t hurt somebody else.

I, Lord knows you’re already hurting yourself with all of this. Okay? Oh, you know, you’re right. Actually, you know what? Maybe I should just go on like everything is fine. I’m just gonna forget about the fact that I shot my dad, and I’m gonna forget that I put God sake Sean, no one’s asking you to forget it.

I’m just asking you to deal with it, but in the right way. Oh. Oh, okay. The right way. Okay. The right. And I’m assuming that you know what the right way is, so if you do, I’m all ears I’d to know. Okay. Well, it’s not drinking yourself into a stupor.

Listen, I just, I’m just asking you to maybe go talk to my mom. Okay. Maybe she can help you process all this guilt you’re feeling. You want me to go to therapy? Therapy be, I mean, come on. I mean, Bob is a lot cheaper, so he can stop joking about this. Listen, it’s, it’s not gonna be easy and it’s not gonna be immediate, but I do think that talking to someone about this will help give you some perspective, you know, so you’ll stop torturing yourself.

Maybe I want, maybe I wanna torture myself bell, huh? Do you not get it? Do I have to spell it out for you? Is it, I deserve to be tortured. I deserve to be miserable. That that is my punishment. You can’t mean that. I mean, every damn word of that.

Well, the doctor’s not gonna be here for a while, so there’s still time for EJ to get here. Yeah, of course. I’m sure you’re right. Yeah, listen, I need to get to my office, but I’ll look for you in a little bit, okay? Mm-hmm. Okay. Sounds good.

Oh, come on, ej. Dammit. Answer me pink.

Everything okay? Yeah. Hi, bill. I’m just, um, I’m just frustrated, you know, because I’ve been trying to reach EJ and he just finally sent me a text and I, you know what? It’s a long story and I’m, I, I, I just wish he was here. I’m sorry. Is this about you being pregnant? I, uh, I read about it in Lady Whistleblowers column.

Yeah, right. Well, it, it is so I guess the story is accurate then. And ejs the father. Huh? We did a paternity test. It’s definitive. Yeah. Wow. I guess that probably hit Eric pretty hard. Huh?

I must seem so needy to you. Hey, I know each other sometimes. God knows I’ve leaned on you a lot since we’ve been together. I’m here for you and I told you that

I just wanna be here. All day right in your arms. It’s fine by me. Don’t tempt me. I can’t. I have to be in court soon. Let me come with you. I can help you get through it. You would do that for me

with everything that my brother has done. I mean, the mayor still missing Abe’s or friends. He wouldn’t have even been in the hospital had it not been for Colin. He must be crazy to even wanna be seen out with me. And call me crazy. That was a two-way street. So was loyalty. You’ve been there for me. Like I said, why wouldn’t I be there for you?

Matt, I knew that you were trying to protect me, but you, um, I’m not trying. I’m succeeding Actually. You’re not, you’re not even being very clear right now. What exactly do you think is happening here? What, how, how, how, how am I taking advantage of Gwen? Oh, just stop. I know what you’re up to with your cheap grocery store flowers and your good manners, and your good looks and your good.

Okay, fine. I’ll give this one to you. Your great body. And you turn on the charm and suddenly the spectator is running this splashy front page sugarcoated profile about Salem’s latest Euro trash reject. In which you’re all, I know, I present as a narcissistic sociopath who wants to destroy the world, but deep down in just a cuddly teddy bear, God.

And this, this is what you’ve wanted all along, isn’t it? Von Liar, liar, pants on fire. All this great free publicity, Dimitri. Well, I will not stand idly by while you try and manipulate Gwen into giving you more and more, because lemme tell you she’s a real journalist and if she’s not gonna stand up for herself, then it falls on me.

Hmm.

Where does that leave us, Mr. Stark? I still sit down. Oh. Like you wouldn’t cheat, but go ahead. Kill me. If you must. At least I will go down knowing I was defending my best friend from your insulting and nefarious behavior.

My Commander Michaels, I’m insulted. Talk about baseless accusations safe act.

I know you have somebody in your sights right now. Who is it? Hope Kate, somebody else in town. Who’s in your way? Oh my look who’s come down with a terrible case of savior complex. So now your Salem self-appointed protector. Tell me, does the job come with a shiny tin badge, perhaps a Dakota rape? Somebody has to protect this town from you, and I’m proud to be the one to do it.

I owe the people a Salem that much after all the damage I did when I was under your control, and you were such a disappointment. Believe me, I’m about to become more disappointing to you.

You two,

what the hell is going on here?

Fuck mad. I simply stop by to express my thanks to Gwen for the story. That’s it. No ulterior motives, I swear. Right? Okay, Matty, you know you love best, right? And you know that I adore you, but sometimes you could be just a bit overzealous. And you can be dangerously dewy eyed and gullible at times. Gwen falling, shallowly.

Shallowly, is that a word? Shallowly. Shallowly. Pray to a man’s physical attributes, ignoring the fact that he’s a master manipulator with a heart of stone. Okay, that’s enough. Just Dimitri, as you recall. I’m sure. You remember yesterday I defended Matty and I think today he’s just trying to return the favor, return the favor way to downplay Guinevere.

I offered to die for you and he seems to forget that I am absolutely capable of taking care of myself, and that’s why your life has been such a better roses. You see Matty as a very loyal friend, so loyal. In fact, he sometimes passes the ability to take a hint. Not to mention my ability not to be fooled by a slick and slimy creep whose only attributed is that he looks like a cross between George Clooney and Ricky Martin.

Oh God. Look, look at the time, um, you have a deadline, don’t you? Yes. You have a column that you have to file now, right? Matty, right now I’ve got my eye on you. Tall, dark, and dangerous. Don’t forget it.

I’d like to apologize for my friend. He, um, sometimes has an overactive imagination. No, no. Um, actually I should be the one apologizing to you. You see? Now that we’re alone, I can tell you the truth that Sure. Odd little friend there. Well, he was absolutely right about me.

Uh, God. Sorry, Nicole. That was so insensitive. I’m just a little and no more than a little. Listen, I, I know it’s no excuse. I just had a really rough morning. Yeah. We’ll, join the club. What’s going on with you? It’s Shawn. Yeah, it’s uh, you heard what happened with his dad and how he was trying to save his mom and Yeah, I did.

And I also heard he is struggling with it. Yeah, that’s putting it mildly. And it’s just getting worse. So I thought I would bring him here to see my mom, but, um, you’re here alone. Well, I came anyway. Yeah. So I should probably go talk to her and get her thoughts on all of this. And, um, you don’t need to hear about my problems, but I am so sorry for what I just said about Eric.

I know it’s, it’s complicated. Okay.

Complicated. You have no idea.

So you think, Nicole, what she’s using you doesn’t have feelings for you? No, no, no. I’ve never said that. I’m, I’m just not confident that she loves me quite the same way that I love her. Why is that?

Oh, did you say the L word to her and she didn’t say it back, and how was that? Any of your concern? Well, just. Answer my question. It’s complicated. All right. Because of her past feelings for Eric Brady, though it might become less complicated now that he’s clearly moved on with that hateful lawyer that Baden noir of everyone of Salem.

You haven’t eaten a thing. Listen, I know you’re worried about your brother, but you got to eat so you can keep your strength up. This is not about Colin, it’s about you. Me. Did I do something wrong? No. No, you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s about the offer you made me earlier when you said you’d go to court with me.

Well, it really touched me. I wanna support you because I love you. I love you too, Erin. Which is why I,

which is why what? Which is why I don’t want you to forget about the offer I made about us having a baby together. I haven’t forgotten. Why are you bringing him now? Oh, well, because you just do so much for me and I wanna do something for you. And that’s very kind and loving offer, but you have so much on your plate right now, and I don’t mean literally.

Seriously though, given everything that I’ve gone through and what you’re going through right now, I don’t think it’s the right time for us to have a baby. Why the hell not?

It’s starting to feel like Grand Central Station in here. I’m gonna have to talk to the staff about upgrading the locks. Whoa. Well, so much for being done with Megan Hathaway, right? Hmm? That’s Megan Demara. Who is it that you’re gonna take out next? Huh? Is she trying to get you to go after my mom again?

Hey, just slow down. It’s obvious you’ve been drinking. You g know you sound like my wife. You got, you got it wrong. Okay. I’m here to deal with Megan, not make a deal. We’re on the same side. Okay. And who, wait, who is it that asked you to do that? I, I, because I, I decide. I decide. I decide who’s on my side.

Okay. Thank you very much. Are you sure that you were sied by Bo Brady? Because you are absolutely nothing like him. Pathetic, drunk in little mansion. You’re the reason that I’m like this. Okay. How is it that you. How is it that you’re not in prison? Hey, how is it that you are walking around here free? Well, my parents after everything that you did to them, huh?

My mom and my dad. You keep your distance. Oh,

wait a second. Who’s the one that’s pathetic right now? Hmm? Who’s pathetic? Wait, are you scared, Maggie? Are you scared? Are you scared that you’re gonna have to pay for messing up my dad’s head and turning him into a zombie? Huh? Is that what you’re gonna, oh, come on, Shawn, let’s calm down. If you tell me where your dad is, I can go and apologize to him now.

Oh, wow. That’s That’s hilarious. That’s hilarious. An apology. An apology. Talk about a little too late you sadistic bitch. You know the minute, the minute that I thought of it, you were here. I knew, I knew that I needed to come here and I needed to do something. Yeah, Maggie, you know what? You, you were gonna pay, okay?

That is enough out of you, detective, unless you wanna have a bullet between your eyes.

Kate, what are you? He is dropping. Sorry, not sorry about letting in. So what did you hear? Well, I heard enough, although you girlfriend may not be a favorite of mine. That’s beside the point, which is, which is. Obviously you are serious enough about each other to be talking about having a baby. Something I know is very, very important to you.

So if there’s an offer, genuine one, why would you wait? Because it’s a serious decision. It’s not something you just rush right into, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, boring. Okay. I know you’re trying to do the responsible thing, but, but life is messy. I mean, it can be joyous. It can be thrilling, and then it can be depressing as hell.

You still have to plunge in and embrace the chaos. I mean, if you’re always using all of your energy and time to logic through everything, opportunities are just gonna pass you by and you won’t even notice because you’ll be so busy trying to do everything the right way, and all of a sudden you’re gonna end up on a boat in the middle of the ocean, God knows where, cutting the heads off fish and wondering why you didn’t do all the things you wanted to do.

Well, tell us how you really feel. Yeah, cuz it’s not that simple. Oh, I never hold back. Oh yes. It is that simple. I know about McCall and EJ Roman filled me in. So what so what That it didn’t work out. Screw it. Why don’t you make something else work out? Because if you wait, all you’re gonna do is get older.

I mean, if there’s something you want really, really badly, you need to make that happen, and you need to make it happen now.

Hey, speaking from experience, although it has been a while, um, When a woman isn’t expecting to hear, I love you, it does take some time for her to process it. Therefore, she might not immediately respond in kind. Well, obviously Nicole did not. But in her defense, I was unaware that she was pregnant. She was unaware who the father was.

I, well, I, I don’t know this if this would be comforting to you in any way, but, um, I wouldn’t say I love you too, under those circumstances, but Nicole and I have known the truth that I’m the father for several days now and she hasn’t said it. Yep. Ej, she doesn’t know if she’s gonna carry this baby to term.

And she’s in a very stressful position, said, just don’t expect too much too soon,

Kristen, if I didn’t know better, ID think you were trying to be helpful to your brother. Are you actually offering me emotional support?

And if anyone asks. I will deny it.

Oh, maybe today was the day that Nicole was going to say it. Dammit. If I hadn’t tried to warn Stephan, I’d be with her right now at the doctor’s appointment, finding out where we stand. Instead, I’m here waiting for the craziest mirror of all time to decide our fate.

I wouldn’t if I were you, commander Michaels, you stay exactly where you are. That’s a good boy, Shawn Brady, you pathetic little weasel. Here I am grieving the loss of my beloved bow, and all you can do is drown yourself in a bottle of booze. Not to mention looking around everywhere you can for someone else to blame for the bullet that you put into him.

I know. I know what I did and I hate myself for it. But you know what? But the truth is I would do it again. I would do it again if I knew that I was saving my mom’s life because I thought, I thought my dad was gonna kill her. I wish he had. You should have let him because we’d all be better off then.

That’s right. That’s right. Shawnee. Boy, back away and don’t you dare take another step. I waited years, years to have my beloved bow back. And you, you ruined it in an instant. Well, guess what? I can ruin you in an instant. Megan. I’m, I’m a witness. You pull that trigger and you go straight back to prison. You silly, silly boy.

There will not be a witness if I go this far besides. This man broke into my house and threatened me. I am well within my legal rights to end his pathetic little life right now. I just hope that it won’t permanently stain my carpet with your blood. It’s one of my favorites.

So you really were just using me to clean up your image, a very unsportsmanlike of you. No, no, no, no. I, I would, I would never do anything like that. What I meant was that your, um, well, your persistent and very, very loyal friend was right to assume that I did come here with, well, with an agenda, uh, with her.

Then what is it? The truth is that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since the day we met. That’s why I brought you these flowers,

Gwen, ever since I saw you at our family home, I just, I just felt something and ever since that day, I haven’t been able to get you outta my head and my heart. Forgive me, I, I’m sorry. I’m, I’m, I’m putting you on the spot. How could you possibly, well, how could you possibly have the same feelings for me?

What if I do.

You mean you, you actually have feelings for me.

You know, we had lunch the other day. I, I couldn’t believe how much we had in common, how alike we were. I. I thought I was being too obvious with my feelings. Honestly, must be my famous British Reserve for not showing it. Or maybe it was that my vision was just clouded by hope.

Well, I hope you’ve seen clearly now

watch closely.

Hey Sean. Come on. Stop Megan.

Okay. I know you think you got a case of self defense, but two dead bodies are gonna mess up whatever plans you have cooking, and we both know you always have something planned.

Good decision now. I’m gonna walk Shawn out. Shawn gonna walk out. You’re gonna put the gun down

and we all to fight another day. Let’s go. Sean, walk out. Let’s go.

Stupid Salem Protector. You are lucky. I need you for my plan. Still commander.

Which reminds me, what am I gonna do about those two down there?

Damn her. How long do you think she’s gonna let us stew down here? You tell me you are the one who’s been colluding with her. Okay. You know what? I owe you an apology for throwing in my lot with her. Well, in your defense, you had no idea. She made the bummer look like an older boy.

Ah man. When she cooked up that plan to escape from prison, I was determined not to get left behind. I just, it went along with the plan cuz I thought it was gonna be my only chance to get back with Rachel. I do understand that I. Oh, honestly, I mean, I didn’t mind plotting behind my siblings back. I mean, alls, alls fair and love and corporate governance, right.

God, I had no idea. She was such a crazy woman. Oh hell, she makes me look practically normal. Let’s hear it for normal. I’ll take that any day of the week. Hello? Hi Kayla. Can you sign a vj? No. I texted him a couple of times. Well, actually a couple thousand times, but I haven’t heard from him. He must be tied up somewhere.

Well, I’ll stay here with you so you don’t have to do this alone. All right. I just got another message from the doctor. She’ll be here in a few minutes. Oh, that’s great. I mean, at least we’ll find out one way or another what my chances are of carrying this baby to term.

You have to admit, I mean, everything Kate said makes sense. Oh, I always make sense. Excuse me. Okay. So if this guy needs further convincing, you’re going to have to handle that on your own because I have to go. But before I do, I have one more thing to say to you. You need to cease today. Okay? And I know that you know what that means, because you gave a sermon on that once when you were still wearing that funny little collar, remember?

Okay, look, I swear to you, I did not pay her to come and say all of that, but what do you think

here? Drink this. It’ll help.

After everything last night, I should have known you’d go after Megan today. I never should have let you leave like that. We could have shot you. Yeah. Well, I wish she had. Don’t say that. Listen, I would’ve taken that bullet. I would’ve taken that bullet because I deserve it. No, that is not true. Look at me.

Son, I love you.

I dunno, what am God’s name has she been doing up there this whole time? Who knows? Maybe she’s found someone else to terrorize. I just hope Stephen’s safe. Oh. God, I have a feeling that we’re gonna be down here for a long time. See? Might as well get used to it. There is no way in hell I’m getting used to this.

Oh, damn it. What Nicole? No, the appointment was an hour ago by now. She’s gotten the news about her pregnancy, good or bad, and I wasn’t by her side.

Nicole. Oh, oh. Hi. Everything. All right. Uh, yeah, you, I, I just came from that doctor that I told you about, the one that AJ arranged for us, the perinatologist, to see if I could carry the baby to term. Mm-hmm. What’d the doctor say? Well, I mean, as, as we suspected and, and of course I read up on this too, so I’m not really surprised, but there’s been so many changes since Holly was born and, and with the, uh, some new treatments, the doctor thinks.

The doctor thinks there’s very good chance. That’s great news. I’m happy for you and ej. Yeah, no, truly it’s, that’s wonderful news Nicole. And congratulations. We actually have some good news of our own too. We just discussed this a few minutes ago, but um, we’re gonna try and have a baby as well. Isn’t that great?

We’re gonna be pregnancy twins. It was thanks to Kate. Really, Kate? Yeah. She made me see that there’s no point in weighing around for something I really wanted.

So Shawn just stumbles in and blows up the whole thing. He was there to confront Megan. Obviously he was drunk, he was belligerent. Damnit. Damn it. So that’s it. You just canceled the whole thing. Well, I, I had no choice. She was gonna put a bullet in him. Well, of course she was going to put a bullet in him.

She’s a homicidal maniac. If we don’t stop her, she’s capable of putting a bullet in him. Hang on. Don’t worry. This is just a delay. When the time comes, I’m gonna go back and then you’ll never see or hear from Megan again.

All right, back to business. I know taking over the world was so labor intensive.

I’m so sorry, Glen. I hate to do this, but, um, I’ve been waiting on this, this business text.

Is it important?

Not as important as this? Oh.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

There. How was your shower? It was pleasant enough. I suppose. That shower head though, that’s a bit much. A bit much. It’s supposed to be the Costa Rican waterfall experience of a lifetime. Did it at least wash off the sickly sweet smell of incessant fawning. On Earth is that supposed to mean? Well, here I am reading your interview with a murderous kidnapper who comes off like Mahatma Gandhi, thanks to your gushing and flattery.

Oh, you read my interview? I see. Well, that’s a step up from you perusing photos of the shirtless Hemsworth Brothers, can I read you my favorite quote with his scores of crimes against humanity being well-documented and a rap sheet that would make Al Capone blush. You can only imagine my astonishment at discovering that Dimitri Vaughn Leischner does indeed have a heart.

Well, it looks like someone dialed up the charm to an 11 last night. If you’re referring to yours, truly, my charm does not have a dial. It lives at an 11. Uh, well, from what I’m reading, it seems you made significant headway in regards to Operation Seduce and Mary Gwen Rizek. Yes, I believe I have. Although, I must admit, I’m a little surprised not to find Mother waiting here on tenor Hooks ready to hear all about it.

You really think it’s a smart idea for you to be here? Don’t worry, Mr. Chen. I waited patiently until all of your little roomies scurried off, and I knew you were alone. It’s vital now that we continue our conversation, why was our call cut short? Is someone walking on you? Yes, actually, I was rudely interrupted when my brother EJ overheard our plan to eliminate Stephan.

Stepan Stephan up. Stepan, you need to let me in. Our sister Megan came crazy. She tied me up in the secret room, but I escaped. Stephan, listen brother, I overheard her Ploting to kill you. Stephan open the body door.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Brother. Brother,

oh,

yes.

It was a dream. God. It was just a dream,

but now I’m stuck in a nightmare on my own.

Tommy come, oh, uh, Stefan, why don’t you use a battering ram next time? I, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you. You want to tell me what this is about, Nicole? Because the way you were knocking made it sound like that it was a matter of life and death. Well, I’m. I’m looking for ej. Do you know where he is?

Megan? Oh, shoot. Heartless psychopath. You better go find another island to go hide under because when I get out of here and wrap my hands around your neck. Dear sister, you’re gonna be sorry you never came back from the dead.

With the love of God. Megan, why would you tell EJ about our plan to off Stephan? No, you didn’t hear me. I said EJ overheard me on the phone. Of course I wouldn’t choose to tell him. Okay. Okay. What exactly did he overhear? He overheard that I said, my brother is not long for this world. I. And being the self-absorbed narcissist that he is.

Of course he assumed that I was talking about him. Did, did he know it was me on the other end of the conversation? No, no, no, no, he didn’t. So then I explained to him he had the wrong brother and that it was actually Stephan that we were planning to do away with, and that it might work out in his best interest as much as mine.

Okay. So did he go for it? It felt promising briefly, and then he had a sudden attack of conscience. Where are you going to warn Gabby and Stephan?

Look at what you’ve made me do.

Followed by a sudden attack of being vase.

Well, I have no idea where your mommy is this morning, but why don’t you come and sit next to Auntie Kristen and tell me all about it.

So did you get on your knee and. Ask for Ms. Riz check’s hand in marriage, or are you waiting for an actual date with her? I’m, uh, I’m sensing the slightest tinge of disapproval. Oh, come now. I’d be quite the hypocrite to disapprove. And you doing whatever you need to do to attain your goal. Huh? Even if that means deceiving a woman who is apparently a good friend of yours.

Huh? Are you sure you don’t have a problem with me using Gwen to get what I want? You know what? How about in the future you stop reading my interviews and you go back to looking at pictures of the shirtless heworth brothers. Oh, come on Gwen. I’m just teasing you. No, you were questioning my journalistic integrity says the girl who didn’t hesitate to use blackmail to wrestle control of the spectator away from her old man.

Hey. If memory serves. That was your idea. One of my more inspired ideas at that. But we are straying way off topic. Yes. For good. I hope. No, no, no. Miss Heda hopper wannabe. Not until you explain to me why you went so easy on that scoundrel. Who is so, so easy on the eyes.

Look, Mr. Von Ner and I sat down and we had a rather nice chat. No, I had a roommate once who had a cat named Dimitri. Hello. I thought you wanted to hear about my lunch with the scoundrel. I do, I do. I’m just processing my distress over being exiled from my home. This room that we share so that the two of you can have one-on-one private time.

And when I returned hours past midnight dying to be debriefed, you weren’t even here. You wicked little gat about you. So tell me, after the bistro, did he take you to the hop word on the street? Is that Mr. Von Leischner can cut quite the rug for your information? No, we stayed here and we ordered room service.

Oh hmm. And did you eat your meals in bed under the cubbies? Of course. Not such restraint. Oh no. We sat down and ate in chairs and then when the interview concluded, I made a beeline for the office, wrote up a quick article to get into the morning edition. Hmm. It’s like all the president’s men minus the mutton chops and newsrooms.

What were we supposed to watch that the other night? I know you Gwenie and your article is dripping with subtext. I didn’t have to read much between the lines to know that you’ve got a thing for Dimitri. God, stop it. I barely know him. Yeah, and I know you better than anyone else on the planet. Lady Gwenivere over his Czechia.

So don’t try and pollute lady whistleblower’s air with your lies and deception.

Okay, fine. Yes. He’s quite attractive. I mean, who wouldn’t, who doesn’t? Nobody with eyes and a libido. Yes, exactly. But even beyond that, I, when I was talking to him and getting to know him, I, I realized we have so much in common. Oh, so the two of you were kindred spirits, huh? I wouldn’t go that far, but I would say that there was.

Definitely a connection there.

I actually happen to, like Gwen, she’s smart, savvy, gutsy, but I’m the one who got her the pardon and she owes me not the other way around. Right. Mm. Well, if it makes you feel any better, I, uh, I enjoyed her company. Oh yeah. She, uh, she, she seemed to really listen to everything that I had to say, and she even related to a number of my life experiences.

You mean? You mean the life experiences you no doubt tailored to me hers, the ones that were laid out in detail in the dossier that your mother gave you. Fine, yes. I may have embellished a few details and told her what she wanted, but Okay. Just. Be careful that it doesn’t turn into marriage gate with a reporter breaking her own story.

Well, that’s not gonna happen. Oh, in any case, when I do convince Gwen to marry me, it’ll be for richer and not for poorer. You do know, you do know that, um, mommy dearest, uh, has some big, bold plans of that inheritance of yours. No, she hasn’t made much of a secret about that. No, mommy dearest has a plan for everything.

Absolutely everything.

Nicole. I don’t know where EJ is. Have you checked between the couch cushions? This is serious, Stephan. Okay. EJ has made it abundantly clear that he’s not my keeper, so why should I be his? Because you’re his flesh and blood. Look, last night he sent me a text saying he had to go out of town for a last minute business trip, and I haven’t heard from him since.

I’m worried about him, Stefan, and I thought maybe you might know something. Well, I don’t, Nicole. And the fact that I don’t, and the fact that you don’t should tip us off to one thing, and that is, as we speak, EJ is probably up to something, uh, what’s the word, underhanded. Damn ropes. Okay, come on. Come, come on.

Deep breathy J. Deep breath. Calm. Calm. You’re gonna have to use every bit of your strength to free yourself and get out of here so you can warn Stephan about that at our sister of ass.

Okay? Okay. Okay. So E j’s tied up. In the secret room underneath the Demer Mansion seemed like the logical place to statue him. How’d you even know about it? I thought you never lived in that house. Well, I learned about it last year when I dispatched my beloved boat to relieve Kristen or that rare orchid.

In hindsight, I wish I had never actually sent him here to Salem. If I hadn’t, perhaps, then everything would’ve turned out differently. As much as I. Delight in hearing about all the questionable decisions you’ve made in your past. I’d rather talk about the current offering of choice that will preclude destroying my future.

Because if EJ tells anyone, EJ has been taken care of, your Honor, it’s immaterial. He’s my problem not yours. You. My handsome co-conspirator. You need to focus your full attention on eliminating Stephan so that you can eventually reunite with Gabriela Hernandez. Now, isn’t that what you want?

So how are we gonna do this? How? How are we going to eliminate Stephan?

Wait, you’re not thinking I’m the one who’s going to kill him, are you?

Ah, finally. Yeah. Sorry I’m late. Well, you should be, since you’re the one who called this meeting. Yeah. So am I correct in assuming that you gave some thought to what I proposed the other day? I have. And I’m in excellent. Megan Hathaway has to be dealt with before she has the chance to hurt somebody else.

Well, I’m so glad that you came to your Senses. Commander Michaels, obviously, we agree that she’s a minister to society, so when she’s soundly sleeping in her unmarked grave, I’m not, I’m not gonna kill her. Okay. So I. I don’t understand. I’m confused. You just said that you’re on board for getting rid of her and I still am.

In all my years of being a seal, I’ve learned that there’s more than one way to make somebody disappear.

I don’t see why you’d be put off with the concept of murder, Mr. Chin. Have you forgotten that? You’ve already made an attempt on my brother’s life when you pulled the plug on him and Dr. Rawla, which is why if Stephan Demara is the victim of foul play, I’d be the chief suspect. Prison may be a great place to, you know, finish Moby Dick, but I hear the food is pretty bland.

Well, good thing you’re not going to have to find out, but, but you just said that I was leading you astray, Mr. Shan. I would not trust an important job like this to an amateur assassin who couldn’t even get it right the first time. No, Mr. Shan, we need someone. With ice in their veins. Someone who is trained to kill and willing to kill, and I know just who that someone is.

So you’re gonna exile Megan permanently to a place she can’t ever leave and she’ll never hurt another soul again. So are you talking like a, a black side? Unless, unless you know the better. Okay. I’m fine. I’m fine. But the one thing I do know is that I’m gonna sleep a lot better once I know that woman is Spanish.

Yeah. You and a lot of other people. Indeed. But you do know we have to keep gifts between you and me. Okay. Yeah, of course is my husband, for better or worse, is a man of conscience. I mean, he believed that Orus had killed me and still he stopped Steve and John from Avening my death by killing Orus. So if he finds out about our little plan, as much as he loads Megan for what she did to me, he will definitely try to stop us.

Understood. You know, another thing I was thinking about too seems rather like cruel and unusual punishment to separated mother from her son. So as long as you have Megan blindfolded in an unmarked van, I’m thinking might as well pick up Dimitri and take him along for the ride.

So Dimitri flashes you as baby browns as pearly whites. Maybe breaks out a van Leischner and you go softer on him than a goose feather pillow. Wrong, not to mention very unfair and disrespectful. I will have you know that I asked him some very hard questions, but something else got real hard during that interview.

I swear. Matt, hold on. Let’s see. Let’s see. Uh, no, actually I don’t see any mentions of how he kidnapped Kate Roberts or threatened to blow up half the houses of Parliament in Europe or Salem itself, for that matter. The little speck on the map that we call home and nothing about, and this is highly significant to me, obviously, but how he manhandled yours truly.

And last but certainly not least, not a single hard question about his psychopathic mother. What. I think you were just a tiny little bit jealous that he’s interested in me and not you. Oh, breaking news. Gwenivere. As much as I adore you forever, I hate to hold the stop sign up to this little ego trip of yours, but it’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Dimitri has an ulterior motive.

Oh, and what might that be? Prey. Tell my sweet little darling Misanthropic friend. It’s not misanthropic ness, miss. Whatever. I’m quite fond of. Most of humanity. Well, you anyway, but to answer your question, I don’t have a crystal ball, so I don’t know what lies ahead for you and Dimitri, the dastardly, but I would swear on my life that that dude is not motivated to charm that cute little tushy of yours and swear that the two of you are separated at birth because he thinks you’re the BE’S knees, which you are, but that’s irrelevant.

It’s because he has some sort of grand and sinful plan. Oh, like all great leaders before her. Your mother is wisely circumspect on the particulars of global Agen enemy, though I did hear her mention something about amassing an army of sorts with Harris Michaels at the helm, whatever that means. Uh, I guess it means that someone fell asleep in front of the history channel one too many times.

Man, mom, just, she sounds, sounds delusional. Grandiose. Yeah. I guess nothing new there. Yeah. Well, she can hand me a helmet and stick me on the trenches for all I care. Oh. I only intend to stay on my sister’s good side so that she can assist me in the resources necessary to regain full custody of my daughter.

Wow. So you’re going the legal route this time. That must be a whole new, exciting feeling for you. Oh, it’s gonna be a challenge to say the least. Brady has his little lawyer slash sister in his corner to keep me away from Rachel, and she is an attack dog, and I need an attorney to put a muzzle on her.

Unfortunately, it has been a challenge convincing someone to represent me. If only you had a hotline or a an app for this dilemma? No, no. I actually have someone in mind who might that be. Sloan Peterson, though. She is sleeping with Brady’s brother, Eric. Well, that sounds like a conflict of interest to me.

Mm. Which I am confident that I can mitigate. You see? Dimitri, you are not the only one in this family who can turn on the charm. You know, I have heard Madame Mozel Peterson has a weakness for a, uh, very rare vintage champagne. A 96 Louisie owns put Mm, yes. And we have some in the cellar just collecting dust.

So, If I can turn on said charm and present her with said bottles, then I am quite sure that she’ll accept a retainer in. Bubbles.

Are you insinuating that EJ is involved in some plot that I don’t know about? Right Nicole? It is certainly within the realm of possibility, don’t you think? No, I don’t think, and that, and this can’t be what’s happening because EJ and I are supposed to have an appointment with a specialist in about an hour to discuss if or, or how.

I can carry this baby to term and he did a lot of research to find this doctor, so I’m just trying to understand how he could suddenly be Mia. It doesn’t make any sense. Okay. Nicole, I hate to break this to you, but do you think that maybe just maybe. Killing my chances at Demara is more important to EJ than having this baby with you,

ej.

Putting aside your comprehensive knowledge of my rather checkered history with members of the opposite sex, how many bruises and bumps has my self-esteem and my ego sustained? I mean, what possible objective could Dimitri hope to achieve by charming me? Let me put my thinking cap on for a second. Hmm, I’ve got it.

Maybe the glowing article he’d hoped you’d write about him, which you in fact did. I mean, you can’t buy press like that. Oh, can’t is a strong word. Are you saying that the only reason he was interested in me is, was to use you to rehabilitate his reputation? Ding, ding, ding. Well, okay. I mean, yes, it did. It did occur to me, but I, I made sure to maintain the utmost professionalism and he seemed, he seemed really genuine.

No, I’m, no, I’m not diluting myself here. I. There was a definite attraction. There was this, it was like an electricity. It was so palpable. I’m telling you, I could feel it.

Because Dimitri is as cold-blooded and as manipulative as his mother and that son of a bitch. And I mean that literally might not have actually tried to kill me, but he did hold me hostage and he did force me to the head A boatload of fish was, was not only disgusting, it was totally moralizing. So yes, I would like to see that little mama’s boy just cut off at the knees.

I, I, I understand. I do, but making two people disappear. Well, yeah. I mean if it’s a matter of a incept in shovel, if Dmitri disappears along with Megan, it increases the risk substantially. So what are you saying? That’s what I’m saying. You bring the sun into the mix. It could complicate the mission to neutralize the mother.

I know you had Michael’s brainwash once, but I thought the is a D programmed him. I did, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t reprogram him to do my bidding, and that Lee is where you come in. Not my area of expertise, I’m afraid. However, you can secure someone whose area of expertise it is. I’m thinking, Dr.

Wilham rolls. I trust you know where he might be. You want me to bring the good doctor back to Salem? I do indeed. See, that’s not much to ask. Really. Rather simple, isn’t it? So let’s play this out. Dr. Rolfe programs Commander Michaels to murder Stephan and then OneLA. You and I both get exactly what we want.

Consider it done.

Stephan, you don’t know your brother like I do. I know him well enough to know that he’s a pompous. Ass, or shall I say pomp is rs. What does that have to do with him standing me up for something that’s important to both of us? Like I said, Nicole, nothing is more important to EJ than screwing me up. Oh, damn it Stephan.

I am not gonna wait into your sibling rivalry. I know this baby means too much to EJ to just blow off this appointment so he could love a grenade into this family feud. EJ has moved heaven and earth to get us this appointment with this doctor, and I know I trust that he’s gonna be there by my side for it.

Kristen, thank God you’re here. What? Who the hell did this to you with SCA and stuff in? No, it wasn’t that I, our bloody sister, Megan, but maybe you already know that. Excuse me. Maybe you were a part of this. I knew you two had your heads together plotting something. Oh my God. I had no idea what she was planning.

I just came down here looking for some champagne. Thank God you did. Okay. I know rational thought is not her strong suit, but did she give you a reason why she tied you up down here? She wanted to stop me from stopping her from killing our brother, Stephan.

As a thought experiment. Let’s just say I’m wrong, which I’m not. Almost never am. Let’s just say that Dimitri is vibing with you the way you’re vibing with him. Even if that were true. Aren’t you still licking your wounds from your ZA to break up? Yes, but I suppose I am, but. I mean, it’s not the worst way to get over someone.

Is it having a sexy, dangerous, probably very rich hotty to distract you. A sexy, dangerous, probably very rich Heidi who has made it clear he wants to kill me. Your best friend or so you claim it’s not a claim. It’s true. But think about it, Matty, if I can keep spending time with Dimitri and he thinks of me as the.

Bees knees, or however you put it, then I might even be able to talk him out of wanting to throw you against or through a wall every time he sees you. And maybe just maybe I can show him that you are not the obnoxious, incredibly annoying person that he and everybody else on this planet seems to think you are.

Okay. I’m not ruling out the possibility of dealing with Dimitri, but right now we just need to stay focused. I’m getting rid of Megan. Okay. Megan is the more pressing threat. No doubt. So what’s your, your time schedule? Well, why put off until tomorrow, which you can get done today. Okay. Call me when you’re done.

Aj, where are you?

Hi, aj. It’s me again. You know, at first I was really pissed off that you skipped town and didn’t return any of my phone calls or texts, but now I’m, I’m just worried I’m. I’m at the hospital for our appointment about the baby. Hopefully you just lush your phone and you’re on your way.

Well, well, well brother off to the office. Someone’s gotta keep this company running. Little Birdie told me EJ took another day off. Must have found a couple of palm trees in a hammock. Well, I hope he’s enjoying every moment of it. Life is fleeting and one day we’re all gonna look back and have tons of regrets.

All those woulda, coulda, should us. So live it up while you can. Seize the day as much as I’m enjoying this little Ted talk, Megan, I can’t help but wonder if you’ve had a chance to go over the proposal Gabby and I put together for you.

Well, it definitely sparked some ideas and left me with a few burning questions, but that time is precious and I don’t wanna keep you. Mm. We’ll talk later, right?

Assuming you’re still alive.

Hello, Donny.

I read the article in The Spectator Impressive. It seems that Ms. Rizek is already smitten with you. It oozes out of every sentence. Thank you. Well, uh, to be honest, I’m quite smitten with her as well. Wonderful. Well, perhaps you ought to go see her. Keep the momentum going. Perhaps I will. You know, before I go, uh, mother, I was just speaking to Aunt Kristen and well, she mentioned something.

She mentioned that she were putting together an army. What exactly is it that you’re doing, mother?

Whatever I do my. It’s with you in mind. So you just go sweep that British journalist off her feet and move us closer to our goal. Right.

By the way, where is that sister of mine now? Oh, she, uh, she said something about grabbing a bottle of champagne from the basement. Yeah, I’m sure if you checked, she’d still be there right now. Bye mother.

Why would Megan wanna kill Stephan? Would you be so kind as to undo these bloody nods while we play 20 questions we need to him? Yes.

Okay. These are. Oh my god, these are tied pretty tightly. Yes, I’m well aware of that. Uh, speaking of difficult, not to mean, there was this, um, game that Brady and I used to play. Oh, no, no, no. Not now, not ever. Fine fight. Fine, fine, fine. Just go on about Megan and her motives. She said she was motivated to eliminate Stephan because she wanted to reshuffle the family power dynamics.

Oh God. That it would be some sort of means to whatever twisted ends, she’d conjured up in her disease brain. Well, I need to find something to cut those ropes with, so just hang tight. I wouldn’t do that if I were you.

Sorry, but I cannot support this burgeoning fake romance between you and the venomous bond leischner, even if you could convince that creep to solve all the world’s problems, including climate change, inflation, threat of nuclear war, and rehabbing my reputation. Okay, fine, fine, fine. You’ve made your point.

I sure as hell hope so, because I see a whole lot of ambivalence in those big, soulful eyes of yours. Well, I’m fighting that ambivalence. Okay. I mean, what if your instincts are right, Matty? What if he’s just playing me like a fiddle just to get good press? What if I’m acting like a silly little school girl who has a crush on the jock who can’t even remember her name?

Hey. Hey, uh, I wanna thank you for letting your divorce with Gabby go through so smoothly. She and I are, uh, you know, yeah, I know soon to be married. I’ll keep an eye out for my invitation. I’s knew Gabby would end up with the love of her life.

Speaking of you, thank you. I told Gabby her happiness means a lot to me, so, um, When’s the big day? End of next month.

Well, congratulations.

Thank you.

Too bad you won’t live long enough to say. I do.

So, is it fair to assume that you no longer have any queries about whether or not our system, Megan, is utterly unhinged? You know, I swear I had no idea what she was planning. Okay. I’ll admit, I will admit that when she pitched the these grandiose ideas of picking up where Stefano left off and conquering the world, I did go along with it.

Oh, but she is so much more deranged and sadistic than I thought. You know what? We could be her next victims after she’s done with Stephan. Seems inevitable, but at this point, Nicole might just push Megan outta the way to get to me first.

I need to finally,
