Poppy: There’s no reason to tell rj.

Luna: He deserves to know.

Poppy: But why take that risk? You could mess everything up.

Luna: “Could”? Mom, no, I already have. I messed it all up as soon as I got into zende’s bed.

Poppy: Yes, ’cause you didn’t know what you were doing! That the mints you took could–

Luna: Could? Could what? Make me hallucinate? No, mom. I thought they’d do what mints do. I didn’t know that I– I had your mints that are laced with god knows what.

Poppy: Yes, because I take one, luna! And definitely not with alcohol.

Luna: Okay…

Poppy: No, luna, I am sorry. I am so, so sorry.

Luna: I thought I was with rj, mom. That’s how out of it I was. That’s what your little drug habit did to me. It ended up with me sleeping with zende. I spent the night with him, cuddled up in his arms, thinking that he was my boyfriend, mom.

Poppy: Yes, because of me. Okay, this is all my fault. Don’t turn a terrible mistake, my terrible mistake, into something so much worse, okay? Rj doesn’t need to know anything about what happened last night.

Thomas: Wow, look at that pencil fly. Didn’t know anyone could sketch so fast.

Rj: Yeah. Just trying to get this idea on paper as quickly as I can.

Hope: Oh, you mean before it escapes your brain?

Rj: Yeah, sure.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: I– I don’t know. I think, maybe, I don’t know, does someone have other plans?

Rj: Um… yes, I do, actually. I do have plans. I am meeting luna at the beach house and I’m trying to set up a special date for tonight, and I am trying to leave early to do that, so yes.

Hope: Well, lucky luna.

Thomas: And lucky rj. Hey, look, we’ve, uh– we’ve seen the positive effect she’s had on you lately.

Hope: Yeah. It’s been really nice to watch the two of you. You’re a sweet couple.

Luna: You want me to lie to rj about this?

Poppy: You’re not really lying. You didn’t mean to.

[ Knock on door ] Oh, no. That’s probably him.

Luna: Probably. Go. Zende.

Zende: I know I’m probably the last person you wanna see right now. I’m just– I’ve been so worried, and, uh, I just, um– I know you’ve been freaking out, and honestly, I have too. I just– I can’t have you thinking that last night, that– that what we shared, that somehow I took advantage of you–

Luna: Mom, what are you doing?

Poppy: I want the truth. Did you take advantage of my daughter last night? Answer me!

Zende: Absolutely not! No, no, no! We spoke earlier in the night, and I told her that I was across the courtyard, and then there she was, waiting for me. You– you– you told her, right?

Luna: Yes, yes.

Zende: I didn’t– I wasn’t trying to. I didn’t–

Luna: Yes, I remember enough to know that you did nothing wrong. I just– I just really thought that you were rj. Mom, come on, I told you this. My mom knows all about what happened last night. More than you think. Mom, we owe zende an explanation.

Rj: Is it that obvious how close luna and I are getting?

Hope: Mmm, don’t worry. Everyone approves.

Thomas: Yeah, everyone approves. Has that ever happened in this family before? Like, where everyone is just on board from the beginning?

Rj: I don’t think so. No. Never.

[ All laughing ] I mean, there’s not really anything to object to with luna. I mean, she’s– she’s kind, she’s funny, she’s beautiful. I’m a lucky guy.

Luna: I’m sorry. I thought you were rj. I really– I really did.

Zende: I– I wish I could understand how. The last thing– the last thing I would want for our first time would be for her to think that I was someone else. All I know is that luna was there when I walked in. She told me that she had been waiting for me. You– you said that I’m owed an explanation?

Luna: Listen, I didn’t understand why I spent the night thinking you were rj… until I talked to my mom about it. What happened between us, it’s all her fault.

Zende: Your mother?

Luna: Yeah. My mother and her mints. In all my travels I’ve never seen such dry skin.

Rj: I tried to make it as romantic as possible considering it was her, um…

Thomas: Oh! Okay.

Rj: I’ve– I’ve revealed way too much to you.

Hope: Um, yeah. I– I’m gonna table this conversation, you know, for a different time, a different place, a different conversation that doesn’t involve me. Um… but I will say, as a woman, that the first time is– is a bit of a big deal and should be treated with respect.

Rj: I know, I get that, and– and– and I respect that. That’s why I, like– I tried to make everything just as perfect as I possibly could.

Hope: All right. Well, I’m sure… it was great, and you are a nice, caring guy, and I am happy for you both. And let’s change the subject, please.

Rj: Yeah, no– let’s– no, but she is– I wanna emphasize though, she’s– she’s amazing. I’m thinking about her, like, all of the time. I just can’t wait to see her again.

Thomas: Would you look at that guy? He has got it bad. You’re in love.

Luna: Well, are you gonna tell him, or am I?

Zende: You said something about mints?

Poppy: Recreational. I take them every now and then to take the edge off.

Luna: Those mints do a lot more than just take the edge off, mom.

Poppy: That’s because I have one, luna. One. I don’t pop two or three at a time all night long. And because I’ve taken them for a while, I’ve, uh, you know, built up a tolerance. But yeah, someone who hasn’t had it before, it could have a much bigger effect. Especially if you mix it with alcohol.

Zende: I– I am not following. Why are we talking about your mother’s mints?

Poppy: Because luna likes mints too. Normal ones. And somehow, mine got mixed up with hers.

Zende: Are you– are you saying you were high last night?

Luna: Yeah. I ate quite a lot of them. You know, ’cause I don’t know. I thought they were regular mints. I thought that I was just keeping my breath fresh. But little did I know.

[ Zende laughing ] I started getting really tired and– and then fuzzy headed, so I– I told rj that I have to go home.

Zende: And this is why you left early.

Luna: Yeah. I mean, I was exhausted. And so thirsty. Suddenly so thirsty. I’m guessing that’s a side effect or something.

Poppy: It can be. Yeah.

Luna: And so I walked outside to call a ride. That’s when I saw the water bottles in the guest house. I literally just went in and I downed the whole thing. I don’t remember sitting down or getting in your bed, but… I don’t know. I guess it makes sense because of how tired I was.

Zende: Are you, um, you’re– you’re telling me that you were drugged by your own mother?

Luna: Yeah. And that’s why I thought you were rj. ‘Cause I was, like, hallucinating or something.

Zende: How could you do this to her?

Poppy: I am horrified! Trust me!

Zende: Yeah, you should be! I mean, you didn’t just take something from luna. You took from me too. I really, really like your daughter. And I’ve been hoping, I– I’ve been– I thought that maybe we might share something beautiful, but… not like this.

Luna: Okay, great. Now zende knows. It’s time for someone else to know too. I have to tell rj.

A year after a heart attack,

Rj: In love? Yeah. Yeah, I totally am. But, hey, you know what? She is too.

Hope: Wait, wait, wait. You– you said it to each other?

Rj: Yeah.

Hope: Look, I– I think it’s– it’s wonderful. And in all seriousness, I– I have been working here with her for a while now, and I have to say, you did great. She’s so wonderful.

Rj: I definitely feel like I’m a– I’m a very fortunate guy.

Hope: Luna’s pretty fortunate too, to have such a caring, honest guy.

Rj: Yeah. I mean, I try. But luna, she’s just– she’s the epitome of honesty. Like, I think that’s one of the reasons why I’m so attracted to her. It’s just so easy for me to trust her.

Thomas: Is that sketch finished?

Rj: Yeah. Why?

Thomas: Get out of here.

Rj: Yeah.

Luna: I’m telling rj what happened.

Poppy: You can’T.

Luna: I have to, mom. Rj thinks that I’m– I’m a good person, and he believes in me. Like– like, when he looks at me, he sees someone that’s honest and committed and sweet and pure.

Poppy: You are.

Luna: I was. Our relationship was, but not anymore. Not after last night.

Poppy: No, don’t say that.

Luna: All because of your disgusting mints, mom. Now our relationship is tainted.

Poppy: Honey, no.

Luna: Yes, mom. It is. It’s ruined. I mean, I can’t believe that this is happening right now. All because of you and your damn drugs. Like, I can– I can barely look at you right now.

Zende: As much as I wanted what happened between us– I would hope for it– to find out why it happened? Look, I respect you wanting to be truthful, but your mother’s right. There is absolutely no reason rj needs to know.

Luna: Well, what about trust?

Zende: And telling him would break it!

Luna: Well, maybe rj would understand. Like, he’d appreciate that I’m confiding in him.

Zende: No one would understand, luna! No one would understand at all, ever. Not– I can hardly understand this. Look, telling him, you will just lose him. You will lose your reputation too. It’s just– telling him will do no good. It will just hurt you.

Poppy: And not to mention hurt rj too, and I know you don’t want that. Zende’s right.

Luna: Oh, my god, none of you guys understand what it’s like–

Poppy: No, honey, he’s right. He’s right. Look at me. Look at me. Rj’s expecting you. Go to him. Hug him. Kiss him. Remind yourself everything you’d be giving up if you told him. Rj doesn’t even know anything what happened last night. It was just a horrible mistake. Don’t say a word. Moving forward with node-positive

Hope: You know, all this talk about romance and love, it’s really got me thinking.

Thomas: Yeah?

Hope: Mm-hmm. About you. And this ring.

Luna: I saw rj. It was him. He was here. I don’t understand. This doesn’t make any sense. I saw his face. How could I make that up?

Zende: Are you saying you were high last night?

Luna: And that’s why I thought you were rj. I was like hallucinating or something. I have to tell rj.

[ Knock on door ]

Rj: Hi. Are you feeling better?

Luna: Um… not entirely.

Rj: Okay. Is there anything I can do to help? Um, I know you were with your mom earlier, right? You know, I know what it’s like when you’re sick and your mom takes care of you. It’s the best feeling in the world. I was actually with mine earlier, um, when we were talking and I was just, uh, I was just telling her I was worried about you, you know? Um, she was reassuring me that poppy would be taking good care of you. You two are close. Nozawa power, right? Luna, look at me. What’s going on? Does it have something to do with the party last night?

Luna: Yeah.

Rj: Well, I mean, if you’re– if you’re feeling guilty, don’T. I’m– I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have asked you to stay at the party. I mean, you were tired. You wanted to go home and everybody totally got it. I mean, you know, we all wanted you to stay. Of course, we all missed you, me most of all. And I, um, I– I don’t know. I just, I got back here and I thought about you, you know, at your apartment alone and I wish you were here and I could wrap you up in my arms.

Luna: Yeah, you have no idea how much I wish I was with you last night.

Rj: It’s– it’s okay. You’re here. You’re here. Come here. It’s okay. Everything’s all right. Hey, look at me. You’re so beautiful. And I’m– I’m so lucky to have you in my life.

Luna: It was rj’s face, mom. He was there and I thought that he was the one in bed with me and that’s why I did what I did. What are you telling me? That me waking up in zende’s bed this morning was because of you and your mints?

Poppy: It’s my fault. It’s all my fault.

Rj: Luna, come on, talk to me. What’s going on? You could tell me anything, anything at all.

Luna: I want to believe that.

Rj: You can. You can believe it. I’m here. I’m right here, okay? And all– all I want to do is help you. Tell me.

Luna: I love you so much and I always want to be honest with you and… there’s something that I need to tell you. Something that you need to know about last night.

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Brady goes to the DiMera Mansion with balloons, flowers, and a teddy bear. Kristen answers the door and acknowledges that he went all out. Brady says it’s all for Rachel because she is his valentine.

Xander is handcuffed to the chair in the interrogation room as Sarah enters the room.

Everett goes to the Spectator office where Stephanie asks if he’s seen him. Everett says no as Chad comes out from the back from having stayed in the office and asks who they are looking for. Stephanie says they were looking for him as she hugs Chad and thanks God that he’s okay.

Ava and Stefan go to the police station. Jada thanks them for getting there so quickly. Stefan says they are happy to help in any way they can. Ava asks if she knows how Harris is doing. Jada informs her that Harris made it through the night but he did suffer serious internal damage so he’s not out of the woods yet. Stefan asks what she needs from them. Jada responds that she has some questions. Stefan says the answer is no, they did not notice any unusual activity at the Bistro last night. Ava asks if Jada knows why Harris was shot. Jada says not yet, but they have a person of interest in custody and they reviewed Harris’ phone messages which revealed someone sent him a text message, luring him to the docks. Ava asks if they know who sent the message. Jada responds that Ava did, shocking Ava and Stefan.

Stephanie tells Chad that they were so worried. Chad thanks them for the messages and apologizes for not responding as it’s just been a little insane with the horror of what happened and getting everyone settled at the Kiriakis Mansion. Stephanie points out that he’s still at work. Chad says he luckily had a change of clothes in the back. Everett asks what they can do to help. Stephanie urges Chad to lean on them.

Xander asks how Sarah is doing. Sarah responds that she’s exhausted and confused as she doesn’t know what’s happened. Xander says he doesn’t either and asks about Victoria. Sarah says she took her to Maggie at the Kiriakis Mansion. Xander swears on their daughter’s life that he did not do this as he has nothing against Harris Michaels, so he did not shoot him and she has to believe him.

Kristen brings Rachel in to the living room to see Brady. Rachel runs up and hugs him, wishing him a Happy Valentine’s Day. Brady presents her with the teddy bear and asks how her school party was. Rachel says it was really good as she got 22 valentines. Kristen asks Rachel about Brady’s Valentine’s card. Rachel says it’s almost ready but she has to add one more thing to make it perfect, so she runs back to get it. Brady tells Kristen that he’s grateful that she let him come for this. Kristen calls him Rachel’s special valentine and acknowledges that he has been ever since she was born. Kristen comments on being envious since today is a day to celebrate romance and she’s been feeling the absence of that in her life more than usual. Brady says there’s a lot of reasons for that and hopes she doesn’t have any delusions of them getting back together. Brady assures Kristen that she will never be getting Valentine’s gifts from him.

Ava swears to Jada that she did not send that text message. Ava shows her phone. Jada says that texts can be deleted, so there will be a warrant issued to check her phone records. Ava says that’s fine as she has a strong alibi that she was at work all night and she can check their security footage. Jada says her phone number could have been ghosted and they will investigate all possibilities. Jada adds that she’ll be in touch if any more questions arise. Jada thanks them for coming in and exits. Ava can’t believe that Harris thought that she texted him and declares that he got shot because of her. Stefan encourages that it’s not her fault. Stefan offers to take Ava to lunch since she hasn’t eaten but Ava says she’s not hungry and walks out of the station.

Brady asks Kristen what is taking Rachel so long. Kristen says Rachel is working on his card as she wants it to be perfect. Kristen asks about Tate. Brady says he’s better at a juvenile rehab center so he and Theresa hope to see him tomorrow. Kristen questions Theresa going with him. Brady points out that she is Tate’s mother. Kristen asks how she could forget.

Xander assures Sarah that having her and Victoria in his life has changed him and he knows he’s capable of being the man he wants to be. Sarah doesn’t doubt that. Xander says he’s grateful for that but he also knows she’s given him more chances than he deserves, so if she’s here to say goodbye, he doesn’t blame her. Xander admits that Sarah and Victoria are probably better off without him.

Chad thanks Stephanie and Everett for their support. Stephanie asks how Doug and Julie are doing. Chad says they were in shock, but they were both very brave and just grateful that no one got hurt, especially the kids. Chad mentions that Doug and Julie are out picking up clothes for the kids for the week. Stephanie asks how Thomas and Charlotte are. Chad says they are good and still went to school to not miss out on the Valentine’s festivities. Chad adds that Marlena is coming by later to talk to them. Stephanie informs him that she picked up some slippers, pajamas, and teddy bears which Chad says they will love. Stephanie gets a text about the geocaching event and she has to get a permit before the event can start. Chad forgot that was today and asks if they have coverage on it. Everett assures they are all good. Chad thanks him for being on top of that. Stephanie says she will go deal with the permit issue and hugs Chad, repeating that she’s so relieved that he is okay. Stephanie then exits the office. Everett then asks Chad to tell him what’s really going on. Chad admits that he thinks it was arson and someone was trying to kill them. Chad says it was a normal night and the kids had just gone upstairs where Doug was going to read them a story before bed. Chad adds that he and Julie went upstairs to go to bed and then they heard some noise, came back down and saw the fire with smoke everywhere. Chad says that Julie luckily got Doug and the kids out while he tried to extinguish the flames but couldn’t, so Julie dragged him out and they watched the house burn down from across the street. Chad says the fire department came and put it out. Everett tells Chad that he’s so sorry for what he’s gone through and asks if he fears for his safety. Chad confirms that he does.

Kristen questions Brady seeing a lot of Theresa lately. Brady admits he has more than usual because of the situation with Tate. Kristen points out that they are also working closely too. Brady tells her not to take this chance to badmouth Theresa as he’s not interested in hearing her take, especially when it could be influenced by jealousy. Kristen admits that maybe it is as she’s been bereft of romance for quite a long time, so knowing that Theresa is getting a lot of Brady’s attention and she also has Alex wrapped around her finger, so she’s a bit envious. Kristen doesn’t like going to bed alone night after night and assumes Brady is too. Kristen asks if he’s okay with that. Brady assures that he is. Kristen knows things have been a little rough between them for the last few months, but says times are changing and it seems they are changing. Kristen feels they have grown up in the past few months and are starting to understand each other a bit more, so she was thinking they could explore the possibility of a relationship again. Brady says it’s times like this when he just knows that she is certifiable.

Stephanie goes to the police station and tells Jada that she’s amazing for reminding her to get the sign off from the parks department. Jada says she knows how important the event is and that they could all use some light hearted fun after the last 24 hours. Stephanie asks how Harris is doing. Jada admits he had a rough night, but she heard he’s stable. Stephanie says she’s praying for him. Jada says that’s all they can do right now.

Ava goes to the chapel and lights a candle as she begins to pray. Ava knows she might not deserve God’s grace, but says Harris sure does. Ava prays for God to give Harris the strength to survive. Stefan enters and sits next to Ava, holding her hand.

Sarah tells Xander that she realizes she has every reason to walk away right now, but she won’t and she can’t because she knows the man that made love to her last night, who adores his daughter, is incapable of killing another human being in cold blood. Sarah states that if Xander tells her that he didn’t do it then she believes him. Xander thanks her and declares that her and Victoria are his life. Justin then arrives, announcing he is Xander’s attorney and wants to speak to his client. Sarah thanks him for coming and tells Xander that she told Justin what happened. Xander complains that the cops just showed up at his door and arrested him for no reason as far as he could tell. Justin is sure it was a shock, but says he is here now and the family is here for both of them. Justin says when he left the house, Maggie and Julie were taking turns with Victoria while Doug was reading to Thomas and Charlotte. Sarah asks how they are doing. Justin says as well as expected. Xander questions what he’s missing. Sarah informs him about the fire at the Horton house which shocks Xander. Justin says they are all staying at the Kiriakis Mansion now. Xander guesses that explains all the sirens he heard and wonders what the hell happened in Salem last night. Xander says that Doug and Julie must be devastated. Sarah comments that it wasn’t just their home, but part of the history of the town and the spirit of Salem.

Stefan tells Ava that it’s kind of surprising to find her in the chapel as he never took her as the praying type. Ava responds that maybe he doesn’t know her as well as he thinks. Stefan asks if there’s any news on Harris. Ava says she stopped by the nurse’s desk but they wouldn’t let her in as they said family only, so she figured the only way she could help Harris now is to pray.

Stephanie asks Jada what she and Rafe are doing for Valentine’s Day. Jada says they haven’t really talked about anything but work with Harris being shot and all the craziness. Stephanie responds that she would love it if Jada and Rafe joined her and her guy for a Valentine’s Day dinner. Jada calls that really sweet. Stephanie says her guy and Rafe are both very funny. Jada agrees that they are in. Stephanie declares that she can’t wait for Valentine’s Day with two of her favorite people.

Everett asks Chad if he still feels threatened. Chad confirms he does and reveals that he got a call while watching the house burn down from an unknown number and a distorted voice that said “maybe next time, you’ll listen”.

Brady questions Kristen wanting to explore the possibility of a relationship, reminding her that when they were together it was a train wreck and since they’ve been apart, it’s been a nightmare for him since he hasn’t been able to see his daughter. Kristen asks if he doesn’t think people can change and that something wonderful can still be there, waiting to be ignited. Brady says not in this case and talks about her being malicious, vindictive, evil, and inflicting pain. Kristen admits she’s behaved badly at times but she did it because she loves him and she was desperate not to lose him. Brady questions that excusing her doing rotten things. Kristen says it’s not okay, but understandable. Brady brings up everyone else that Kristen has screwed over and lives that she tried to ruin. Brady talks about Kristen drugging Eric, forcing him to have sex with her, and recording it to make sure he was ousted from the priesthood. Kristen stops him and says they don’t want Rachel to hear him. Brady shouts that she raped his brother. Kristen calls that harsh words and says it doesn’t fit with what happened between them. Kristen adds that Eric has forgiven her. Brady argues that Eric may have said that to her, but no human being can forgive something that cruel and destructive. Kristen brings up Brady threatening her with a gun in front of their daughter and asks if that’s not cruel and destructive. Brady blames her provoking him but says he was never going to hurt her. Brady states that stealing a fetus and implanting it in herself was probably her most diabolical thing. Kristen argues that she did it out of love. Brady asks if that exonerates her. Brady declares that Kristen’s idea of love has nothing to do with love, but with possessiveness, revenge, and selfishness. Brady adds that Kristen keeps claiming to have changed but she keeps making the same mistakes. Rachel then runs back in, yelling for Brady to stop and not speak to Kristen like that. Brady apologizes but Rachel argues that they always say sorry and they always fight. Kristen tries to say that they don’t but Rachel says that’s lying. Brady says they have a complicated relationship but they both love her. Rachel shouts at them both to shut up. Rachel then rips up her Valentine’s card for Brady and says she hopes he’s happy now. Kristen tells Brady to just go. Brady tells Rachel that he loves her and he’s sorry as he then exits. Kristen hugs Rachel and tells her that it will be alright.

Everett tells Chad that it looks like their article struck a nerve with Clyde after all but proving it won’t be easy. Everett worries that Clyde has the means to continue his campaign of terror for quite some time. Chad says he cannot let that happen as Clyde murdered his wife and tried to kill him and his kids, so he has to finish this. Everett tells Chad to let him help him finish it as they have more of a chance of success if he helps. Chad says it won’t be pretty. Everett responds that he’s all in for down and dirty if it means getting Clyde out of their lives for good.

Ava tells Stefan that it’s so hard not to be close to Harris right now. Ava asks if Stefan thinks Clyde will go after Gabi or Tripp now. Stefan says no, since they had nothing to do with the raid or the article, so the best thing they can do is stay put and lie low until they hear from Clyde. Ava worries that they will never be free of Clyde. Stefan declares that they made their choices and as long as that son of a bitch is breathing, they are at his mercy.

Justin tells Xander to walk him through last night as he understands he went for a run. Xander confirms that he did and it was late as he usually runs earlier, but he needed to clear his head. Justin asks where he ran. Xander says he went through the town square and passed by the Bistro on his way home. Justin asks if he heard anything. Xander says he heard nothing until he got home and then it seemed like sirens were coming from all directions. Justin questions Xander about the “is it done?” text on his phone. Xander says he has no idea. Justin assumes the police will get a warrant for his cell phone records. Xander admits that a few days ago, he got a call, asking him to eliminate someone. Sarah is shocked while Justin questions him just mentioning this now instead of going to the police. Xander knows he should have. Jada comes back in to the room, so Justin tells her that he wants his client arraigned now, so they can set bail and get him out. Jada responds that she wouldn’t be getting his hopes up. Jada then opens a box and presents a gun.

Stephanie joins Everett in the town square, where people are participating in the geocaching event. Stephanie comments on the turnout. Everett says she did good. Stephanie informs him that she invited her friends to dinner tonight as they’ve been going through a lot and she knows that they could use a care free night. Stephanie adds that she’s been wanting to introduce them to him as he’s responsible for the smile on her face as they kiss.

Brady sits outside the DiMera Mansion, questioning how he could let this happen again.

Kristen encourages Rachel to drink water and calm down. Rachel complains that she doesn’t want to calm down and asks why Kristen and Brady always have to fight.

Ava asks Stefan how she let this happen to her. Stefan responds that he let it happen to him too as they both felt they had no choice since Clyde got to them when they were vulnerable. Ava doesn’t like vulnerable as she’s supposed to be strong and fierce with no one intimidating her. Ava admits she was weak and now the last thought in Harris’s head is that she needed him. Ava states that Harris was on the dock because of her as she starts to cry. Stefan encourages that they are not alone in this and that they will get through it together.

Sarah questions the gun. Jada responds that it was recovered in Xander’s apartment last night and ballistics just confirmed that it’s the same gun that shot Harris Michaels.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: Hey, you okay?

Ashley: I was thinking about going into work. I’m just, uh– I’m not so sure now. You worried about me?

Jack: Why don’t you tell me what you’re thinking?

Ashley: Did traci tell you that I’m– I’m not sure what’s real and what’s not?

Jack: No, not exactly.

Ashley: Maybe did she tell you that tucker has finally succeeded in breaking me?

[ Victoria sighs ]

Cole: Hey, what’s wrong? What’s going on?

Victoria: It’s my father. As usual, he’s gone too far.

Cole: Well, he’s victor newman. Of course, he has. So, what is it this time?

Victoria: He’ll just– he’ll do anything to try to nail jordan. Look, it’s one thing for him to be willing to put himself on the line as bait, but where does he get off trying to use claire as the hook? He’s putting her right back in jordan’s line of fire.

Nick: So, you need me to sell your idea to dad.

Adam: Oh. Okay, maybe sell is too much pressure. How about I could use the backup?

Nick: You wanna bring sally’s business into newman enterprises? You think dad’s gonna be okay with that?

Adam: That’s why I need you to show him that you support the idea. If he knows that you’re on board, he might accept it.

Nick: All right, let’s say we do fold sally’s company under the newman umbrella. What does that mean for my investment?

Adam: Well, newman, uh, of course would take it over, and they would totally reimburse you. I mean, it would be a big win for you considering it’s probably the only way that you’re gonna get your money back.

Nick: Okay, I see what this is about. You want to remove me completely from sally’s orbit, make sure that there are no more ties between us.

Adam: No.

Nick: Now, I don’t have a massive problem with that, but I think it’s kind of a shady move on your part.

Adam: Okay, no, you’ve got me all wrong. Again, this has nothing to do with that. This is strictly for sally’s benefit.

Nick: For sally’s benefit. Have you talked to her about this? I mean, why would she even want to work with newman enterprises after the way we treated her last time?

Adam: Nick, all I know is she could use the break, and she deserves it. You obviously agree with that or you wouldn’t have invested in her company in the first place.

Nick: Oh, I’m not the one you need to convince, adam. That would be dad.

Adam: Okay, but think about how impressed he’ll be to see us on the same page on this. I’m talking about a whole new level of teamwork between his sons. That is something that he’s wanted for a long time.

Nick: So, you wanna use me to get what you want to impress dad and sally?

Adam: Nick, in the old days, I would’ve just gone behind your back to get this done.

Nick: Ah, but you can’t do that this time, right? Because like you said, and you’re probably right, you need me to get dad on board with this.

Adam: I still may be able to successfully pitch this on my own. But yes, I will admit that your involvement in this matter is valuable, but not to mention it’s a sound idea.

Nick: Well, ultimately, the only people it needs to be sound to are dad and sally, but I think you’re onto something.

Adam: Okay.

Victor: Good afternoon, you two. Anything you need from me?

Adam: Yes, actually. Nick and I have something we’d like to discuss with you.

[ Phone ringing ]

Lauren: You don’t need to answer that, nikki. You have said everything that you need to say to her. It’s done.

Nikki: What do you want? I know it’s you, jordan. Do you wanna hear more about what a pathetic human being you are?

Jordan: That was a– quite a little tirade you went on, nikki. I see that the booze has given you a false sense of bravado.

Nikki: As a matter of fact, I haven’t had a single drink all day. This is me sober and getting stronger every day. So you see, you have failed. Your plan to destroy me didn’t work.

Jordan: So you say. However, I don’t think that you have regained a grip on your sobriety. But why don’t you show me just how strong you really are? Why don’t we take this to the next step and continue this face to face? Sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Nikki: I will not be intimidated by you. You want a face-to-face? Fine. But this time it will be on my turf.

Lauren: Nikki.

Nikki: Why don’t you just come to the ranch and we’ll end this once and for all?

[ Jordan laughs ]

Jordan: Really? Well, unlike you, I’m not stupid enough to walk into such an obvious trap. You’ll have to do better than that. I’m sure that the ranch is teeming with security right now.

Nikki: Why don’t you come and see for yourself?

Jordan: Maybe I have. Maybe I’m closer than you think.

Victor: So, what can i do for you?

Adam: Uh, nick and I, we, um–

Nick: Before we get into adam’s plan, I want an update on the jordan situation. What is going on there?

Victor: I’m gonna show only part of the plan.

Adam: What part is that?

Victor: Well, I bet you that jordan will come out of hiding by preying on her obsession with her dead sister, eve.

Nick: How do we bait jordan when we don’t know where she is? Do you have any details?

Victor: Well, I have a feeling that she can’t resist calling her great niece.

Nick: So, you plan to use claire. Does vic know this? I’m sure she’s not gonna be okay with it.

Victor: Claire will understand, even if victoria doesn’T.

Adam: That seems kinda risky in all sorts of ways.

Victor: Well, no. All I’m asking claire to do is to… take the call when or if jordan reaches out, okay? Then, I’m asking her to give her a simple message.

Nick: But if vic is already against it–

Victor: I don’t give a damn if your sister’s against it. I’m protecting your mother and my family. I’ll do whatever it takes.

Victoria: I just– I cannot believe that my father would put claire on the spot like that. He knows how vulnerable she is.

Cole: Well, our daughter’s mental and emotional state is extremely fragile right now. Now, did she agree to take jordan’s call, and pass victor’s message on?

Victoria: Yes, yes. She agreed to go along with the plan.

Cole: At what cost? I mean, having to communicate with jordan right now is the last thing she really wants. I mean, what if this triggers another setback?

Victoria: I know. Well, that’s my concern as well. I suppose that it could just be her guilt talking anyway. Claire’s having a really hard time getting past what she put us all through. I’m sure she would jump at the opportunity to make amends for her part in that, but that’s what infuriates me about my father. He knew that. He knew that’s how she would react and he’s using it to his advantage just to get what he wants.

Cole: Well, I can’t say that I agree with his method, but I think I understand his motivation. He’s all about protecting his family, and he would do whatever it takes to keep the people that he loves safe. I just hope that that could possibly include claire.

Jack: Listen to me. Tucker did not break you. You are not broken. Far from it, believe me.

Ashley: Did traci tell you that I’m really confused about what happened in paris?

Jack: Traci told me she’s concerned that this ordeal has had a real effect on you. We are both here. We both wanna help you. We wanna do everything we can to help you, but I don’t wanna hear you say that tucker has the power to break you. He doesn’T. You are much too strong.

Ashley: Okay. Okay. I think though, jack, given my history, that maybe anybody could have triggered this. I’m not doing well, jack.

Jack: Okay. Then you take some time. We will remind you who you are. Not tucker’s target for mind games, no. Our courageous sister who is ready to take anyone on, who can face anyone, including her big brother, and somehow even win sometimes.

Ashley: Thank you so much for being there for me. I appreciate you. I appreciate traci, both of you, for wanting to be there. I think this is something I have to do on my own.

Jack: No, no, no. I absolutely disagree with that. Doing this alone is the last thing that you wanna do.

Ashley: You don’t understand, jack. I don’t know what I’m going through.

Jack: Then that’s why you need to talk to me. We will figure that out together.

[ Ashley exhales, sniffles ] You know that feeling of having to re-wash dishes

[ Ashley sobbing ]

Ashley: I’m scared. I’m sorry, I just–

Jack:

Ashley: I’m– I’m worried that maybe I did exaggerate things in paris. That maybe there was no smashed glass in there. There was no thrown chair. I I mean, I know he was angry. Tucker was angry. He was. I know he was angrier than I’ve ever seen him and he frightened me.

Jack: That’s right. He frightened the hell out of you. You are not to blame for this.

Ashley: Well, what about the violent part, jack? I mean, what if my brain for some reason turned a glass that had fallen over into one that was smashed, and a chair that was just pushed aside to one that was thrown across the whole room? Why would my brain do that? I don’t understand why– why it would do that. Why it would change what happened, and–

Jack: Ash, listen to me. This is not on you. And I think I may have some answers for you.

Lauren: There’s only a security guard out there.

Nikki: You don’t fool me, jordan, you are bluffing. You’re probably holed up at some little seedy motel outside of town afraid to show your face.

[ Jordan laughs ]

Jordan: Well, you couldn’t be more wrong.

Nikki: Well, if you wanna meet with me, you’re going to have to do it on my terms.

Jordan: Let me be very clear here. You don’t get to make the demands. Not when you have nothing to bargain with.

[ Nikki laughs ]

Nikki: And what do you have? Nothing. You have absolutely nothing. All you have is an apb out on you and an ultimate return to prison.

Jordan: You couldn’t be more wrong again. I’m not going back to prison. Well, at least not until all of my unfinished business is finished for good.

[ Nikki scoffs ]

Nikki: Still more threats, I see. How very boring.

Jordan: Well then, let me make it a little more exciting for you. We will come face to face again, so you better keep your eyes open because you will never see me coming.

Nikki: Don’t bet on it. (Male announcer) an important message for americans age 50 to 85.

Nikki: So, jordan wants to meet, but she knows better than to come here. She seems to know that security is tight at the ranch. And she said I better watch my back because I would never even see her coming.

Lauren: Well, that is very chilling. And I am so glad that you were able to say your piece, but I really think you should have enlisted victor’s help before waving a red flag in front of that woman. You know what kind of loose cannon she is.

Nikki: I know, but he doesn’t want me to have anything to do with his plan to trap her. He’s too worried about me to think I could be any help.

Lauren: And he has good reason to be worried. That woman has proven how cunning and vicious she is. Look at you. Every word she says to you costs you.

Nikki: Well, hearing her voice again was definitely not pleasant. You know, why don’t we get out of here. Let’s, uh, go to lunch or anything really that, uh, can get her out of my head.

Lauren: I have a better idea. Why don’t we call jack? Have him out and maybe he can pick up some lunch for us. Security is impenetrable here, and I think victor would be very happy that we are staying home on a slim chance that jordan is closer than we think. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Come on. We’ll stay here. We’ll have a lovely lunch. And we won’t have to look over our shoulders for monsters.

Nikki: Okay. Let’s do that.

Jack: You told me that you were scared to death. All you did was tell him you wouldn’t walk away from your family. Sever ties with us forever. Who would ask anybody to do something like that? To cut away from your life, the people you love, the people you will have always loved, who love you. It’s outrageous.

Ashley: So, you– that’s what you think it is?

Jack: I think maybe your mind just decided to up the stakes. This was your body’s natural resistance to tucker’s manipulations trying to make you behave the way he wanted you to behave.

Ashley: So what? You think that he’s just gonna go away?

Jack: No, I don’t think that. I– I think ending this marriage was the right move. You– you can’t just focus on all of the details, ash. You gotta focus on the result. He never deserved you. The rest is just him trying to get you to question your mind.

Ashley: You’re right. You’re right. I’m making too much of this, aren’t I? I mean, I should just take the fact that we’re not married anymore and just take that win.

Jack: Exactly. Yes.

[ Phone ringing ] Sorry.

Ashley: It’s okay. Don’t worry.

Jack: Um, I– I have to take this. Um, it’ll only take a second.

Ashley: I’m fine, I’m fine. Yeah, go, go. It’s okay. It’s okay.

Jack: Hello? Yeah. Yeah.

Victoria: I didn’t get to share my other bit of news with you.

[ Sighs ] Dad has accepted claire into the family. Yeah, it was a really sweet moment.

Cole: Wow. I– I have to admit, I’m surprised and touched.

Victoria: Yeah, well, I guess part of it could have just been him trying to soften claire up so that she would agree to his plan, and claire was just feeling guilty enough to go along with it.

Cole: Okay, uh, well, uh, that could have been victor’s motive, but you can’t deny the fact that the man has a fierce devotion to his family. And I can see him accepting claire for her own sake.

Victoria: True. But there is a bonus in this instance that cannot be denied.

Cole: Yeah, yeah, jordan, um, definitely putting jordan back behind bars where she belongs is the number one priority. But vic, equally important, I think it could give claire some peace of mind.

Victoria: Are you saying that she should be a part of it?

Cole: I’m saying that it will be a relief when she knows that her sick aunt will never be free to take control of her life again.

Victoria: Oh, yes, I mean, of course. It would be some comfort to our daughter.

Cole: Yeah, well, then maybe we should accept her at her word that she wants to be a part of this plan.

Victoria: Are you serious?

Cole: At the end of the day, it’s claire’s decision.

Victoria: Well, I’m telling you, cole, if this backfires in any way and this plan causes claire to lose any of the progress that she’s made, I will never forgive my father.

Nick: Yes, of course, dad. We want mom to be protected from jordan’s insanity.

Adam: Yeah. Nick and I, we’re– we’re ready to pitch in and help in whatever you need to pull off the plan.

Nick: We can be far more effective if you shared with us some of the details. Like, let’s say jordan does reach out to claire and claire is able to pass along a message from you. How do you intend to smoke her out after that?

Victor: I can’t get into anything more than that, okay? So, what would you like to discuss with me?

Adam: You remember when you were gonna give sally a design division under the newman umbrella, then you pulled the rug out from under her? I’d like you to revisit that decision.

Victor: Really?

Adam: You claimed that you pulled the offer so we could focus on the, uh, kirsten acquisition mess.

Victor: That’s right. A mess partly caused by you.

Adam: That’s no longer a concern for us, is it? Things, they are smooth sailing here. You pulled the rug right out from under sally, and now she needs a boost to help get her company to the next level.

Victor: Oh, yeah?

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Victor: You’re telling me her little company has already failed? I won’t let me moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Adam: I wouldn’t say that it’s failed. I mean, you know how hard it is to get a startup running smoothly. And then maintaining it is even harder. She needs as much help as she can get to keep it growing.

Victor: So, what are you suggesting? That i fold sally spectra’s design firm into newman?

Adam: I’ve seen the quarterly numbers for her company. It’s not shabby. I think that it’s just plateaued for a moment.

Victor: Let me ask both of you something. What is the hold this woman has on both of my sons? Professionally and personally?

Adam: Dad, sally is much more than you ever want to give her credit for.

Victor: Huh?

Adam: All I’m asking is you just give her a chance. If her company fails, I’ll be the first one to say cut it loose, but I think it could be a major asset. And I’m willing to bet it’s not gonna fail.

[ Phone buzzes ]

Lauren: Oh, jack. I’m so happy you’re here. Thank you so much for picking up lunch. Are you okay? You seem worried.

Jack: Yeah, everything’s fine. How’s nikki? What’s going on?

Lauren: Uh, she’s freshening up. She’s had a rough morning. After what I hear was a worse night, but I’m gonna let her tell you that.

Jack: It’s better I know what’s going on ahead of time. Thank you.

Lauren: All right. You know, she mentioned going out to eat after victor specifically said for her to stay here and, um, red flags went up.

Jack: Victor is hovering and she hates it.

Lauren: Well, he has good reason. He’s worried about her safety with that jordan woman.

Jack: Makes sense.

Lauren: Anyway, I suspected that her wanting to go out was really her wanting to sneak a drink.

Jack: She is in pretty deep. I think she wants to make all these feelings go away.

Lauren: I did not tell her about my suspicions. I just sort of redirected her to call you. I– I hope I did the right thing.

Jack: You did exactly the right thing. Uh, but at the risk of being rude, maybe I should have lunch with nikki one-on-one. Then, I can talk with her openly as her sponsor.

Lauren: Oh, yeah. That’s a good idea. I– I will make a graceful exit. You sure you’re okay?

Jack: Yeah, I got some family concerns of my own right now, but they seem to be settled for the moment. Nikki has my full attention. Ultomiris is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis

Lauren: You know that’s my favorite.

Nikki: Oh, jack, thank you so much for coming.

Jack: All you had to do was call. I took it upon myself to, uh, stop by society and pick up a few of your favorites.

Lauren: Oh, no. I– I just realized, I promised to check on something at fenmore’s and, you know, there’s something I would like to look at, at, uh, newman media before the day gets ahead of me. So, I am going to have to miss lunch. I’m so sorry.

Jack: It’s all right. Duty calls.

Lauren: Yes.

Nikki: Hey, you are juggling two corporations. So, you know, please go. Don’t let us keep you. Thank you again for everything.

Lauren: Absolutely. I’ll talk to you very soon.

Nikki: All right.

Lauren: Okay. Bye.

Jack: See ya. Well, I’m glad you reached out to me. I meant what I said about calling me anytime.

Nikki: That means a lot to me.

Jack: Victor getting used to the idea of my being your sponsor?

Nikki: Oh, you know how he is. He’s waiting for you to screw things up so he can prove he was right.

Jack: Oh, I’m sure he’s dying for an excuse to lay into me, but we’re not gonna give him one, right? We’re gonna make this work.

Nikki: I certainly hope so.

Jack: So, what made you make the call to begin with?

Nikki: Well, I think we both know that lauren thought that I wanted to drink, so she suggested that I invite you over. She thinks that you can keep me away from the vodka.

Jack: Yes. Lauren was concerned. I’m not sure about what yet. So, what is it specifically that put you on the edge?

Nikki: Jordan. She’s been calling me and… threatening me. So, I called her back and I told her that I am not afraid of her.

Jack: Wait, you called her– you sure that was wise? What did she say?

Nikki: Oh, you know, just more taunts and threats and then I hung up, but she called back and things got worse.

Jack: Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of. This was pretty impulsive on your part. You know, sometimes with addicts, our worst behavior sometimes also comes out when we’re sober. Recklessness, risky decisions, bad choices.

Nikki: I know all of that, but that’s not what this was. Just knowing that jordan is out there, ready to pounce at any moment, it’s making me crazy.

Jack: Nikki, you have to put this fear behind you. Victor has this place surrounded and guarded for all I see.

Nikki: I know, I know. But her last words really got to me.

Jack: Why? What did she say?

Nikki: “You’ll never see me coming.”

Victoria: Thank you, cole.

Cole: For what?

Victoria: I just don’t think I would’ve been able to handle all of this without you. You’re really calm and you’re supportive. But you’re not a pushover. You’re just kind… to me and– and to claire. But you, you know, you always stick to what you think is right. You’re just kind of like the strong and sort of silent type, but you’re very supportive.

Cole: Hm. Well, I’m glad glad it appears that I’m strong on the surface because inside, I’m still pretty shaken up. You know… becoming a father to a daughter that I had mourned for years is still a daily shock to me.

Victoria: Yeah, I get it. I know. Sometimes, it feels kinda surreal, don’t you think?

Cole: Yeah. Yeah. It’s the first thing that I think about every morning when I wake up. You know, this– this young woman that– that I hardly know. You know, it just takes a while for it to settle into my brain and for me to figure out just how to be there for her.

Victoria: But it’s still really wonderful, you know?

Cole: Yeah, absolutely. Knowing that the little baby we love somehow survived. I just hate that we went all of those years missing her grow up, helping to shape her world view and– and just being able to give her the love and kindness she deserved.

Victoria: That’s so true. It just breaks my heart, thinking that I missed my baby’s first steps. We didn’t get to see her graduate from school.

Cole: It was a whole lifetime. And she, claire, really needed us. And I should have been there for her.

Victoria: No, no. Don’t say should. You were cheated. You were lied to. I mean, I think you would’ve been the best father ever.

[ Victoria chuckles ] You’re a good man, cole. Really. I mean, before you even knew anything about claire, you dropped everything and you came straight to that lake house when you got that text that was supposedly from my mother.

Cole: Well, it said that you were sick and asking for me. How could I not?

Victoria: Even after all these years, you just got on a plane and flew straight to oregon. I haven’t forgotten that, and I never will.

Victor: Now, am i to understand that you want to directly oversee sally’s business?

Adam: Mm. Mm. She doesn’t need me looking over her shoulder. She has a much better handle on her business than I ever could.

Victor: Come on, son. If she’s that good at business, why the hell does she need newman?

Adam: What is so hard to understand? It’s about a solid return on our investment. Isn’t that what business is all about?

Victor: All right, you made your point. If you don’t mind, I’d like a few words with nicholas.

Adam: Well, at least you didn’t dismiss the idea out of hand.

Victor: Nope.

Adam: Give it careful consideration.

[ Door clicks shut ]

Victor: You’ve been awfully quiet, son. What do you think about the idea?

Nick: Considering I funded sally’s entire venture, obviously, I would like to see her succeed.

Victor: Huh. You know, she would be working very closely with adam. You don’t mind that?

Nick: No, dad. I have, uh, moved on. It’s cool.

Victor: So, you are perfectly fine with this?

Nick: I think this is good business. Otherwise, I never would’ve invested in her company in the first place. And I also think this will keep adam happy, which might keep him on his best behavior, which will benefit everyone. And isn’t that what you always wanted? All of us to be working at newman enterprises together in perfect harmony? She’s a good bet, dad, and this is a good move for all of us. It’s win-win. My mom’s alzheimer’s never changed how much we love her.

Adam: Hey. Clear your schedule this evening. I, uh, I wanna take you out to dinner. I think I may have a surprise for you.

Nick: Glad you’re still here. Dad wants you to come back in.

Victor: All right. Son, I understand your pitch, and I understand why you think it’d be a good idea to fold sally spectra’s design firm to newman. And I also understand why your brother nicholas would condone such a move.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Thanks, dad. I’m glad that you see things my way.

Victor: Yeah, but let me finish. Under no circumstances will I work with sally spectra professionally. So, I say no to the idea. Now, if you don’t mind, I have another meeting to go to. You two have a good day.

Nick: You too. I don’t know. I really like your idea. I supported it, but I also told you it was gonna be a long shot.

Adam: Yeah, I know. Okay? Thank you for putting in a good word. And yeah, I’m disappointed, but I’m not gonna give up.

Nick: He seemed pretty firm to me.

Adam: He’s testing me. He wants to see how badly I want this. Well, he’s gonna be surprised when a simple “not interested” is not enough to get me to back down.

Nick: If I were you, I would not press dad on this.

Adam: Well, then good thing you’re not me.

[ Phone buzzes ]

[ Loud bang ]

[ Tires screeching ]

[ Loud bang, glass shatters ]

Jack: “You won’t see it coming,” huh? Pretty ominous words. Keep in mind, she only told you that to keep you on edge. Victor and his security team are going to see her coming long before she gets anywhere near you.

Nikki: I’ll just have to have faith in that then.

Jack: I can’t make a long list of positive things about your husband.

Nikki: But…

Jack: But I have always admired his determination to protect his family. You could not be in safer hands.

Nikki: I totally agree with you.

Jack: That said, the easiest way for jordan to get to you, to get you to make risky decisions is for you to lose control of your drinking. Alcohol will make you a far more vulnerable target.

Nikki: I know. I know you’re right.

Jack: I know you have this urge to use the booze to deal with the fear and the tension, to try to ease your nerves a little bit. But that plays right into jordan’s hands. She is tuned into your weakness waiting for you to get sloppy. That is just the opening she’s looking for.

Nikki: I understand. And I promise I will be strong this time. I– I am not going to stumble again. I mean, I– I don’t really have any other choice because this time my life could depend on it.

Devon: Now we should probably make some time to get those figures down and back to accouw it awaY.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, good. You’re here. It’s where I live. Somewhere else I should be? Of course not. It’s just you weren’t here late last night when I went to bed, and… with everything going on, I — I was just worried that maybe something happened. Where were you? Out.

[ Grunts ] Huh. The guards were pretty quiet about where you were. Please tell me dex was with you, at least. I don’t want to hear that name.

[ Knock on door ] Josslyn: Dex, are you in there? Oh, my god. I have been so worried. I haven’t been able to reach you. Where were you last night? You haven’t talked to your mom today? No, I’ve been busy. I haven’t been able to call her back. Why? What happened last night? I am so, so sorry. I-I woke up not feeling great, and then I fell back asleep, and I totally forgot that we had plans. It’s fine. Don’t worry about me. You do look a little green around the gills. How are you doing? Uh, well, morning sickness is, uh, no joke. I kind of thought it would be no big deal and I’d be able to handle it and fine, but, oh, my god, it’s like my — my head will not stop pounding, and — and the room is spinning, and it feels like the ground is actually, like, moving underneath my feet. That sounds awful. You should lay down. I can make some tea. Oh, that would be great. Oh, wait. Before you go, uh, I have something really important that I need to tell you. Whatever you need to tell me can wait. For now, just let me take care of you. Hi, kira. I got here a little bit early, so I got us a spot in the alcove, and I was wondering, do you want me to order you a coffee, or…? Oh. No, of course I understand that. That’s fine, but we should reschedule soon because I have an opportunity that’s going to be great for — hello? Kira? Hello? Stood up again? Hi, I’m on my way into the station soon. Okay, but jordan’s coming in because she wants an update on the investigation into the stolen wsb weapons. Right, and I think we have to move on that asap, because I think there’s urgency to that situation. Oh, let me guess, the fbi is cool with the pcpd investigating until they’re not, basically? Exactly. I don’t know when they’re gonna pull the agreement. Okay. Anna. Anna, you still there? Yeah. Sorry. I-I have to go. I’ll — I’ll see you soon. Hi. It’s been a while. And from the look on your face, it hasn’t been long enough. I have to make a work call. I’ll be in my room if you need me. Hey, I’m fine. Hey… thank you.

[ Knock on door ] There’s someone here to see you. Let him in. Hello, judas.


Good morning, detective. Morning. I’m here to get an update on the metro court shooting investigation for the mayor’s office. Have there been any new developments? Uh, yeah. Anna’s gonna be here shortly, but I don’t think she’ll mind me telling you that there is nothing new from the fbi. Why doesn’t that surprise me? They may say we’re working together, but they’re not gonna give up any of their info unless it helps them. No, uh, they’re keeping their cards pretty close to the chest. But, look, we know sonny was the target. We know the only person who can identify the shooter is o’neill because he’s the one who sold the shooter the illegal weapon. And he is in pentonville, at least for now. What does that mean? Is o’neill going somewhere? No, not that I know of, but it wouldn’t surprise me if agent cates wanted to have him transferred out of our jurisdiction so the feds could have sole control over him. As disappointing as that would be, there is an argument for o’neill to be in protective custody to keep him safe. Well, that’s pretty convenient for cates. Yeah, well, it’s pretty obvious agent cates isn’t too happy to have to work with the pcpd on this. Look, according to o’neill’s lawyer, he’s refusing to cooperate with us on his gun trafficking, but I still feel like there’s a deal to be made there. I mean, this guy’s facing some pretty serious charges. Maybe his, uh, self-preservation instincts will kick in. We need to offer him something in return. Which, as of now, the fbi won’t authorize. Which is too bad, because, given o’neill’s line of work, he could be a pretty valuable witness against a lot of criminals. Criminals who are in prison right now who might know that he’s talking to us, and I don’t know that he’d want to take that chance going in there. And if something happens to o’neill… there goes our only lead. I hadn’t expected to see you here. I live here now — again — till I can find somewhere more permanent. I just had breakfast. Guess that makes sense. I don’t know whether you heard, but I got reinstated as police commissioner. I had heard that, yeah. Congratulations. Must be nice to have a badge back. Yes, it is. Anyway, I wanted you to hear it from me. Why? Because of what happened to charlotte? Yes. Do you want an update on charlotte? Is that why we struck up this conversation? One of my contacts have canceled a meeting. No big deal. It happens all the time. Contacts? Don’t you mean friends? Trusted writers, editors, and photographers — people you’ve been working with for years? People who would always jump at a call from you before. Have you been able to get any of them on the phone recently? What did you do? It was simple, really. All I did is I put the word out… that they’re absolutely free to work with you on your new endeavor, but if they do, they’re never gonna be working with aurora ever again. So you forced them not to work with me. Forced? No. I just…gave them a choice. And judging by the fact that you’re sitting alone at this table, I think it’s pretty clear that they are not as inclined to play with fire as you are. Well, you must not have a lot of faith in carly running crimson and beating me fair and square. Are you really that threatened by a little competition?

[ Chuckles ] What competition? And speaking of carly, all she wants right now is for you to be out of our lives completely, so… if I can make that happen and I can make you pay at the same time, all the better. Here we go. Ginger tea should help soothe your stomach. Thank you. Wow, that actually smells amazing. Which is a really good start, because it’s not making me nauseous, and everything has been making me nauseous, so it’s a step in the right direction. Just give it a second to cool down. In the meantime, hold out your arm. Why? Just trust me. Okay. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] The pressure okay? Yeah, that is really relaxing. Good. Okay, let me try another place. How’s that? I think that’s actually — that actually made the room stop spinning.

[ Chuckles ] Where did you learn how to do this? On the road. Oh. Traveled with a lot of pregnant women, did you? Ha, ha. Hardly. But a ton of hungover musicians. Mm. It’s all lights and glory onstage, and then there’s hell to pay the morning after. Well, I am genuinely glad you learned how to do that, because I feel so much better, and that was really fast. So, thank you, miracle worker. Okay, let’s not get carried away. But now that the room isn’t spinning anymore, what did you want to talk to me about? Oh, uh, it’s about molly. Is everything okay? You guys didn’t get into a disagreement about your pregnancy, did you? No, no. Nothing like that. Um… molly knows about us. I knew something was wrong when I couldn’t get ahold of you last night. This is — is exactly what I have always been afraid of since I learned you were working with michael. Are you okay? Did he hurt you? No, not really. His men roughed me up a little bit, but it could have been a lot worse. I thought I was never gonna see you again. If your mom hadn’t shown up when she did — well, thank god she figured it out. She saved your life. I’ve never been so happy to see anyone. Not that sonny made it easy. He tried to get his men to take her to her car, but she flat out refused to go. Look, I’m really sorry. I know that you believed in him, but this is who he is and this is what he does. He uses people, and he thinks that everyone else should forgive him over and over again, but the second he thinks someone’s betrayed him, he will turn on them. No, I get it, okay? Sonny knew I had been paid off. He just wasn’t sure by who. Pointed a loaded gun at me and tried to get me to talk. The only reason I was still breathing when your mom got there is ’cause he wanted that information before he killed me. Did my mom tell sonny that you were originally working with michael? No, he figured it out. He knew your mom didn’t have the money to pay me the bonuses that michael had. All your mom did was confirm it. Well, sonny’s never gonna trust you again. No, he won’T. Which means… you’re free. Dad, I’m not — I’m not gonna make excuses. Well, there’s no excuse for what you did, michael. Okay, I, uh… I hired dex… right. …From a security firm. And I paid him to infiltrate your organization and — and gather incriminating evidence against you and give it to me. I… I wanted to be the one to send you to prison. Because you wanted me to suffer, I get it. But why? Because mom risked her life and her freedom to run your organization when you were in nixon falls. I had amnesia in nixon falls. Why does everyone forget that? I know, but when you came back, you cheated on her with nina. And not — and not only that, you sided with nina when she was suing me and — and willow for visitation with wiley. Y-y-you… I didn’t recognize you anymore. I didn’t — I didn’t see my father, I just… I-I convinced myself that you needed to pay. You didn’t go through with it. No. In the end, I couldn’T. I couldn’t do it.

[ Sighs ] Because, dad… sending you to prison, it would tear the family apart, and I couldn’t do that to my siblings, and I couldn’t do that to you. In the end, my — my loyalty to the family was — was stronger than my need for revenge. What do you know about loyalty, michael?! Stabbing your father in the back!


I know that you and carly wish that I would just vanish into thin air, but how exactly are you going to manage that? Because I’m not leaving port charles anytime soon. Of course you’re not, because that would be the decent thing to do, just to kind of slink out of town in shame, never come back. You know, drew, port charles is my home. You might have caused a little setback to my plans to start my own magazine, but this hotel is mine, so I don’t want to hear any more threats from you, idle as they may be. You misunderstand me, nina. I’m not threatening you. I’m offering to buy your share of the metro court. Dad, I know you feel betrayed, and you have every right to… …but I was in a position to get the revenge that I wanted, and I didn’t — I didn’t go through with it. So you want — you want credit now for change of heart? You still tried to take me down, michael. I know, and I’m admitting to it. Then why didn’t you come to me as soon as you called it off? Own up to it, instead of bringing your mom into the equation. I hadn’t planned that. She just figured it out. And I already decided I wasn’t gonna turn you in, so mom came up with a plan for us to work together to keep you protected and safe. That’s what we wanted. That’s what we all wanted. Dex, too. What about last night, michael? What kind of man sends his mother in to clean up the mess? I-I — [ Scoffs ] I didn’t send mom, okay? And I had no idea you were closing in on dex. I was — I don’t — I don’t want to hear any more. You had every chance to come tell me the truth. You were in my office, you were — you were — we were hugging. You said, you know, you hate the distance. But it wasn’t about the distance. You were out to get me. I wasn’t out to get you. I was — I was working to protect you, dad. What about your sisters? Donna and avery? How do you think they would feel growing up without a father? They’re your sisters. I know. I-I did — I did think about them, dad. And at the time, I thought that they would be better off if you were behind bars. It’s not your call to make, michael. What about wiley and amelia? How do you think they would feel without you in their lives anymore? I don’t know what I would’ve done if something had happened to you. Watching trina go through this with spencer, it’s terrible. She’s not even herself. I couldn’t do it. I can’t lose you. I love you. Last night, I had a pit in my stomach when I couldn’t find you, and to know that I was right to feel that way… all I want for you is to be safe. Not just today and tomorrow, but always. I wish it were easy to make that happen. My mom had to have told sonny that you were protecting him, you were not betraying him. She did, but it doesn’t matter. Look, in sonny’s eyes, I still lied. And now I know way too much about him and his organization. How can I make a clean break when sonny will never let me walk away knowing everything I know?


This isn’t easy for me. I’m really trying to respect your privacy and — and to be patient, but… hiding how we feel about each other whenever other people are around, it’s just — it’s not really a way to build a relationship. Is that what we are? A relationship? Oh, did you think that I would just let anyone see me like this?

[ Laughs ] Yeah, I think it’s safe to say we’re in a relationship. Just think about it, nina. I mean, you want to start your own magazine, right? That’s gonna take some capital — the kind of capital you would get if you sold half of a hotel. And, look, this offer isn’t coming out of nowhere. I mean, it wasn’t that long ago that you offered to sell your shares to carly. Oh, but that was before you and carly took crimson away from me and I found out how vindictive you two are. Well, you did all that to yourself, nina. You gotta take responsibility for your choices. Oh, good. Another lecture. I will pay you fair market value for your half of the metro court. Not a chance. Now, if you want to buy something nice for your girlfriend, besides a magazine that she has no earthly idea how to run, I suggest jewelry. I’m not going anywhere. I’m not comfortable giving you all the details. Just know that she’s home and she’s settling in nicely, and I promise I’ll keep you informed. Thank you.

[ Nina and drew arguing indistinctly ] Uh, will you excuse me? Yes, of course. Calm down. Nina, there’s no reason to get so worked up. Don’t you dare tell me how to behave. Nina, everything all right? No! Drew thinks that he can take my share of the hotel from me. There has to be another way to gain access to o’neill and keep him in port charles under our custody. Yeah, I don’t see that happening. The feds want us to stand down as it is. On the gun charges, yes, so we need to come at it from a different angle. Okay. Like what? Maybe we get him on charges unrelated to the shooting, something that doesn’t involve the feds and would be solidly in our jurisdiction. What, like some unpaid parking tickets or something? Preferably a felony. What is the likelihood that an arms dealer has been involved in another crime here in port charles? I’d say the likelihood is pretty high. You don’t go from upstanding citizen to gun runner overnight. Exactly. So we need to go over every case in the last six months involving firearms, track all the weapons, and see if it leads back to our friend in pentonville. Yeah, we’ve been there, done that. Nothing. Okay, then go back even longer, a year or more. Do whatever you have to do. Because even if o’neill is placed in protective custody, he still has a target on his back.

[ Cellphone rings ] Falconeri. Wait, what? All I can say is, again, I changed course. Dex was already inside. So mom and I, we just — we made sure that — that dex was — was keeping you safe. That little rat lied to me. You can hate that I paid dex to keep you safe all you want, but you have to admit that if it wasn’t for him, you might be dead right now. I don’t have to admit anything, michael. You came to rely and trust dex. If… for me to — to say something, tell you the truth, it — it would’ve accomplished nothing, but it would’ve ruined everything. Stop trying to make yourself look good. You didn’t just lie because you were worried about me. You lied to protect yourself. Okay. Plain and simple. Admit it. Dad, I — yes, I — I came to — to really like that our relationship was — was — was good again. I didn’t — I didn’t want to lose that. Yeah, well, you lost it the day you hired dex to destroy me. I get that you’re angry… and I-I hope, eventually, you’ll be able to see why I did what I did and you’ll be able to forgive me, dad, but this isn’t just about our relationship. What is it about, mike? It’s about you and how you’re pushing everybody away, because… dad, without dex, without me, and especially without mom, who do you have? Do you… do you want to end up alone? Dex: There are no good options for me here. Sonny will never trust me again, so my time in his organization is over. Exactly. So maybe this is the clean break that we’ve been waiting for. It’s not that simple, joss. You think sony’s just gonna forget about what I did to him? Sonny hates a lot of people. I can live with that if you can. It’s not about what we can live with. Sooner or later, one of sonny’s rivals is gonna figure out that he’s cut me loose and try to take advantage. All of these guys talk, so when they try to use me to get to him and I refuse, they’re gonna have it out for me, too. I hadn’t considered that. And if it’s not the mob, the da or the feds could find an excuse to bring me in and try to get me to flip on sonny. The only way he can guarantee that I won’t talk is to eliminate me. Well, if that’s true, then why did he let you go last night? I don’t know. Maybe he’s just telling your mom what she wants to hear. He knows she won’t let anything happen to me because of us. Regardless, he wouldn’t want to involve her in a crime. Maybe sonny decided to walk away last night… finish the job later, without any witnesses. You’d do anything for me, right? Yes. Then run.


I hate to ruin the mood here, but I think this is all about to get much harder. That sounds ominous. My mother has been wanting to visit me here in port charles, and I’ve been putting her off, but I finally ran out of excuses. She’ll be here next week. That’s fine. Uh, yeah. Don’t worry about, uh, us seeing each other while your mom is here. Uh, a lot of stuff to get done at the pub, and, uh, I certainly could use the time to get caught up on stuff with the center, too, um… so we’ll just take a little break, and then, uh, we can pick up right where we left off when your mom is back on the plane heading home. I hate this. You’re being so understanding, and, somehow, it’s just making this worse. I don’t want you to feel like you have to hide. Well, I’m not the one hiding. Yeah, well, good luck getting your magazine up off the ground, ’cause I love rooting for the underdog. So much for mr. Nice guy. He really thinks he has you wrapped around his finger. You don’t have to sell him the metro court. You know that, right? Well, who knows? I mean, he basically crushed my idea to start my own magazine, and he barely had to try. Hey. Hey. I saw you sitting over here. I just wanted to say congratulations on being named the new police commissioner. Thank you, yes. Actually, I’m just on my way to the station. I’m not gonna hold you up. I just wanted to say that, um… I’m happy for you that things are going well. Yeah. And you? I’m making progress. What kind? And at what cost? Go. Today. Right now. Get a head start before anybody even realizes you’ve gone. You can hide without sonny finding you, right? I am not leaving. I can’t lose you. You’re not gonna lose me. I’m coming with you. No, absolutely not. No, we talked about this last year. Okay, you would be giving up your family, your friends, your future as a doctor. I won’t let that happen. Your whole world is here. It’s my life, so it’s my choice. I cannot lose you. Not after everything we’ve gone through. Joss… …you are everything to me. But you would be giving up your life here for nothing if I run… with or without you. This is insane. You were just trying to protect sonny, and now he wants to kill you for it. Somebody tried to kill you twice now, and whoever gave that shooter inside information on your security, it was not dex, okay? He’s not the traitor. It’s someone else inside your organization. Why should I hear anything you have to say, michael? D-dad, don’t put yourself in any more danger just to get back at me, okay? Or isolate yourself so you have no one to confide in. You need somebody around you you can trust. That’s not your concern. You’re my father. Am I? Okay. All right. You know what? Yeah. You can push me away, you can push all of us away, but you — you’re gonna need someone to talk to. You can’t go through this alone. Catch all that? Unfortunately, I did. I’m sorry, sonny. It must hurt a lot, what michael did. Well, I — you know, I can go if you want, and we can pretend I was never here. Wait, wait. Can you stay?


I’m sorry, I didn’t — I didn’t mean that. I just — I’m not judging you, and I don’t even know your family. They’re great, actually. They’re just religious and old-fashioned. They were raised a certain kind of way to never talk about these kinds of things, so there’s a part of me that still feels like I have to protect them. I get that. I… I actually think a lot of people are in your position. I just hate that you feel like you have to protect them from the fact that you’re gay. Because I, personally, am thrilled that you’re gay, and I know a lot of other people would be, too.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you? What I mean is, I’m happy for you that you’re living your authentic life and being your true self, and if that happens to include you being gay, then all the better. Because I happen to think who you are is pretty damn wonderful. I feel the same way about you. I-I do want to respect, though, that coming out is your personal choice, and I can’t pressure you or anyone into making that decision. That’s your own to make whenever you’re ready. But that’s no way to build a relationship. No, it’s not. Then I know what I have to do. I’m gonna tell my mom about you and me. It’s time my family knows the truth. I can’t believe I let drew get to me, even that little bit. You know, that’s what he wanted. I just couldn’t help myself. He can really push your buttons, huh? You know what? It’s just not that he offered to buy my share of the hotel. It isn’T. It’s just slowly dawning on me, valentin, that I am never going to get a magazine to rival crimson off the ground. It’s just not gonna happen. It’s too much. Even if drew hadn’t scared everyone away from working with me, it’s just too huge of an undertaking. I’m just going to have to swallow my pride… and, as much as it hurts, accept defeat. I can’t believe you’re giving up this easy. On the magazine? On evening the score with drew and carly. ‘Cause I’ve been thinking… there may be another way. I shouldn’t have said that. It’s none of my business. But you clearly have an opinion on me. I value your opinion, so please let me hear it. I don’t have an opinion. It’S… I just was going back to the last conversation that we had, where you — you said you had regrets and that you wanted to get toxicity out of your life and move forward. Which is exactly why I offered to buy nina’s half of the metro court — to get her out of our lives completely. She seemed pretty upset by your approach. Well, that’s just part of getting the best deal possible. It’s the cost of doing business. Is it worth it? She’s a big girl. She can take it. I’m not talking about her. Well, I’m just gonna say this. You seem harsher to me than you once were. And — and you have every right. It’s understandable, especially where nina is concerned. But making her pay isn’t gonna bring you back what you’ve already lost. So I’ve been told. And… …you’re not the first person to tell me that I have changed recently. Okay.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Just — I have to take this. Will you just think about what I said? And maybe we can pick up this conversation later. Okay. Okay. Hey, there’s been a development. I can’t get into it over the phone, but it concerns a prisoner at pentonville. I’m on my way, okay? Oh, god. Let’s try this again, shall we? How you doing? Well, you know, I knew michael would come here. I even knew what he was gonna say and all his excuses. It just… it still hurts, you know, those words coming out of his mouth. Why did he even dare show his face here? He insists that dex did nothing wrong, that, uh… I still need dex’s protection. Well, he might have a point there. I mean, dex did save us in puerto rico. Without him, I don’t know that either one of us would’ve gotten off that island alive. And we still don’t know who the shooter was, so… you’re still vulnerable. You think I should still have dex in my organization after he betrayed me the way he did? It’s your call, of course. I’m just wondering, though… where dex would go if you cut him loose. I imagine he has seen a lot of things, heard a lot of things, things that could hurt you if they got out. I’m sure there are a lot of people who would love to get that information that’s rattling around in dex’s head. I know I have a problem. There’s a leak in my ship. You’re far from shore. How much water can you take on? Before we all go down? No, no, we’re not just gonna wait around until sonny decides to punish you for a betrayal that didn’t even happen. There has to be another way. Not that I can think of. I’ll talk to sonny. I’ll make him understand. He’s already made up his mind, joss. I don’t care. I have to talk to him. I have to try, okay? I’ll go right now. Let me do this for you, for us. I know better than to try to stop you once your mind is made up, so go ahead. But if it goes badly, just get out of there. I don’t want sonny getting angry at you, too. I can handle sonny. I’m gonna fix it. Just watch. If anyone can, it’s you. Stay right here, and I will be back as soon as I can.

[ Gun cocks ]


Despite what you obviously believe, I made my offer to buy the metro court in good faith. So you say. What I want to know is, why do you and carly insist on underestimating me? Do we? Over and over and over again, and I am sick of it, so listen to me carefully. Not only am i refusing your deal, but you’re going to regret that you ever messed with me in the first place. This is valentin cassadine. I have a proposal for you. Ali, no, no, no, wait. It was never my intention to — to pressure you into coming out to your mom or force you in any way — kristina, stop. You didn’t pressure me. If anything, you being so patient with me is what helped me make this decision. Okay, good. I’m grateful… for your support. I mean, for someone whose family was accepting of her for exactly who she is, you understand my situation far more than I would’ve expected. Well, I’m just trying to think about how I would want to be treated if I were in your position. And I appreciate that. But this isn’t only about my feelings for you, and it can’t be about living a lie to keep the peace in my family anymore, either. What you said today… made me realize I’m happy. Really and truly happy. And that’s nothing to hide. Hi. Hey. Okay, I got here as soon as I could. What’s going on at pentonville? A prison transport was attacked today, and a prisoner is dead. Who? Olivia jerome. Josslyn: I will get dante up here, and sonny will not like it, okay? This is an emergency, and I need to speak to sonny. Hey, josslyn. Hi. Is there something I can do for you? Hi. I need to talk to sonny right now. Well, I’m sorry, you just missed him.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

[laughs] Wow. Wow. You went all-out, didn’t you?

Mm-hmm.

I mean, not just him, but flowers and chocolates and balloons.

[laughs] I am assuming that they’re all for Rachel.

You assume right. They are all for Rachel. And she’s my valentine.

Oh, right. Lucky her.

[serious music]


[scoffs]

[sighs] Sarah.

Hello, Xander.

Hey.

Hey, have you seen him?

No, not yet. I don’t know what’s going on.

Hey. Who are you guys looking for?

You. Thank God you’re okay. Thank God.

Ava, Stefan, thanks for making it here so quickly.

Happy to help in any way we can.

Appreciate that. Have a seat.

Detective Hunter, do you know how Harris is doing?

I, um–I called the nurses’ station to get an update, but since I’m not family–

He made it through the night. Thank God. But he did suffer some serious internal damage. So he is not out of the woods yet.

What do you need from us, Detective?

Well, I have some questions.

Okay, I can imagine what the first one’s going to be. So I’ll come right out and answer it. And the answer is no, we didn’t notice any unusual activity at the Bistro last night.

Did you notice anything suspicious at all?

No, nothing. Look, Detective Hunter, do you know why Harris was shot?

No, not yet. But we do have a person of interest in custody. And we reviewed Detective Michaels’ messages on his phone, which revealed that somebody sent a text message to him last night that lured him to the loading docks.

So do you know who sent the message?

You did, Ava.

[tense music]


[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”


[sighs] We were so worried.

Yeah. Yeah. Thanks. Uh, and thank you for the messages, both of you. You know, I’m sorry I didn’t respond. It’s just been… you know, a little insane, you know, not just with the horror of what happened, but I’ve been talking to insurance people and getting everybody settled at Maggie’s house. It’s just my head’s been all over the place.

And yet here you are at work.

Yeah, I, uh– I had a change of clothes in the back luckily.

Chad, what can we do to help?

Yeah, lean on us, Chad. What do you need right now?

[mournful piano music]

[sighs]

How are you doing?

I’m exhausted, and I’m confused. I don’t know what’s happened.

Me neither. Where’s Victoria?

I took her to my mom’s while they searched the apartment.

Thank God for Maggie.

Yeah. Yeah. My mom is an angel. She’s the best grandma anyone could ever ask for.

Sarah, I swear on our daughter’s life, I did not do this. I don’t know Harris Michaels. I got nothing against him. I did not shoot the man. You have to believe me.

Okay. Okay.

Rachel, your daddy’s here.

Daddy!

Hey.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Oh, sweetie, Happy Valentine’s Day to you. Guess what?

What?

He’s all yours.

[both laugh] And I got you some other treats too. How was your Valentine’s Day party at school?

It was really good.

Yeah?

I got valentines.

–up high. , that’s amazing.

Okay. Hold on. Did you remember your daddy’s Valentine’s Day card? Is it ready yet?

Almost.

Almost.

I just need to add one more thing to make it perfect. Be right back.

Okay.

Don’t move.

I’m not moving.

[laughs]

Oh my gosh, thank–hey. I’m grateful that you let me come here today to see her.

Oh, well, it means a lot to Rachel that you’re a special valentine.

Well, I always will be, like I said.

Yeah. Yeah, you did. You said it every Valentine’s Day since the day she was born. I feel a bit envious.

Why are you envious?

Well, I mean, I’m not envious of Rachel per se. It’s just today is a day to celebrate romance, and I’ve–I’ve been feeling the absence of it in my life more than usual.

Kristen, you know, there’s a lot of reasons for that–

Oh.

That you might be feeling the absence of romance in your life. I hope to God you don’t have any delusions of us getting back together ’cause… Valentine’s Day gifts and bears and balloons, they’ll never be coming from me… ever.

[somber music]


Detective Hunter, I swear I did not send that text message. Look. Look, there is nothing there from last night.

Text messages can be deleted. A warrant will be issued to access your cell phone records.

That is just fine. I have a strong alibi for last night. I-I was at work the whole time. You know what, you can check our surveillance footage. It’s going to show that I was there the entire time.

Right. Well, it could be that your phone number was ghosted.

Would you be able to follow up on that?

We’ll investigate all possibilities thoroughly. I’ll be in touch should any more questions arise. Thanks for coming in.

[low mysterious music]

I cannot believe that Harris thought that I texted him. He got shot because of me. I did this to him.

Ava, hey. What happened to Harris is not your fault.

You just heard what Detective Hunter said.

I did. And I also heard her say the number could have been ghosted, which obviously it was. You know what, let’s get you out of here. Let me take you to lunch. You haven’t eaten.

No, I’m not hungry. There’s somewhere I need to be.

[low mysterious music]


What is taking Rachel so long?

Well, she’s working on your card. You heard her. She wants it to be perfect. How is Tate doing?

He’s better. He’s better. I mean, he’s at a juvenile rehabilitation center. It has visiting hours, so… we’re going to see him tomorrow hopefully.

Oh, we?

Yeah, Theresa and I.

Oh, so Theresa’s going with you?

Yeah, yeah, because she’s Tate’s mother.

Of course, she is, Brady. How could I forget?


Please, Sarah, you– you know me, and you know I’ve made choices I’m not proud of. But having you and Victoria in my life, it has changed me. Being with the two of you, I– I know I’m capable of being the man you need me to be, the man I want to be.

I don’t doubt that you want to be that man, Xander.

Well, I’m grateful for that, but– but I also know you’ve given me more chances than I deserve. So if you’re here to say goodbye, I don’t blame you. Honestly, you and Victoria are probably better off without me.

Thank you both for your support, really.

Seriously, Chad, whatever you need. How are Doug and Julie doing?

Um, you know, they were in shock initially, of course. But, you know, they were both very brave and– and really just grateful that no one got hurt, especially the kids. You know, they’re–they’re actually out right now, picking up clothes for the kids for the week, just to get them through, so.

How are Thomas and Charlotte?

Uh, good. Yeah, they went– they went to school today. They didn’t wanna miss out on the Valentine’s Day festivities. So, you know, thank God. And Marlena is coming by later to talk to them.

Well, I went to the shops early, and I picked up some slippers and PJs and books and some matching teddy bears.

Yeah, they will– they’re gonna– they’re gonna love it, whatever it is, you know, especially since it came from you.

[phone beeps]

That’s me. Oh, it’s about Caching Cupid. There’s still a permit that I need to get from the parks department before the event can start.

Oh, jeez, I-I forgot that that was today even. Do we–do we have coverage on it?

We’re all good. I got a photographer on it. And Janet from the City Desk is participating. So she’s writing up an article.

Thank–thank you for being on top of that.

I’m going to go deal with this permit issue, but I’m so relieved that you’re okay, so, so relieved.

Thank you.

[curious music]


Wanna tell me what’s really going on?

I think it was arson. Someone was trying to kill us.

[tense music]

Yeah, so it was a normal night, you know? And the kids had just gone upstairs. Doug was going to read them a story before bed. And Julie and I, we were going to have a nightcap, and we– we talked a little bit. And then we went upstairs to go to bed, and then we heard smoke alarms. Came down, smoke was everywhere. We saw the fire. You know, Julie got Doug and the kids out of the house, thank God. I grabbed a fire extinguisher and tried to put it out, but obviously didn’t have any success. And–and, you know, luckily, Julie came back and dragged me out. We watched the house burn down from across the street.

Oh, my God. And then the fire department came obviously?

Yeah, and, you know, they put the fire out.

I’m so– I’m so, so sorry about what you’re going through. But wait, Chad, didn’t you just say you think someone’s trying to kill you? Are you–do you fear for your safety?

You’re damn right I do.

So you’ve been seeing a lot of Theresa lately?

More than usual, yeah, because of the situation with Tate.

Well, I mean, you also are in close working proximity with her.

Yeah, her and about other employees. Look, don’t–don’t take this opportunity right now to bad-mouth Theresa. She’s the mother of my son. I’m not interested in your take on her, especially when it’s probably influenced by a little bit of jealousy.

Hmm. Maybe it is.

So you admit it?

Look, I admit that I have been bereft of romance for quite a long time, so knowing that Theresa is getting a lot of your attention, not only yours, but Alex Kiriakis, she has him wrapped around her little finger. So, yeah, I am a bit envious of her. I don’t like going to bed alone night after night, and I assume that you’re going to bed night after night alone. And are you okay with that?

Yeah, I am okay with that.

Are you sure about that?

Yeah, I’m sure about that. Hmm. You know what, maybe, um, I don’t know, I know things have been a little rough between us the past few months.

A little–a little– a little rough?

Okay, more than a little, Brady. But times are changing. You and I are changing. Okay.

[laughs] I mean, at least it seems that way to me. I feel like we’ve grown up in the past few months, you know? We’re starting to understand each other a bit more.

Mm-hmm.

So I was just thinking that… maybe you and I could reexplore the possibility of a relationship again.

A relationship?

Mm-hmm.

You and me?

Yes.

God, it’s times like this when I just know, I know that you are certifiable.

[phone rings]

Jada.

Hey, Steph.

You are amazing. Has anyone told you that lately? I mean, if you hadn’t reminded me to get the sign-off from the parks department–

Well, I know how important this event is. And, I mean, after the last hours, we could all use some lighthearted fun, right?

Yeah, definitely.

Yeah.

How is Harris doing?

Well, he had a rough night, but I heard he’s stable.

I’m praying for him.

Yeah, that’s all we can do right now.

[somber music]


[sighs] Dear God… I know that I may not deserve your grace… but Harris Michael sure does. Please give him the strength to survive.


I realized that I have every reason to walk away right now, but I won’t. I can’t. Because I know that the man that made love to me last night, that the man that got soaking wet giving his daughter a bath, the man who has a little girl who he adores and whose little girl adores him is incapable of killing another human being in cold blood. If you tell me that you didn’t do it, then I believe you, Xander.

Thank you, my love. You and Victoria, you– you are my loves.

[phone beeps]

[gentle music]

Um, sir, would you mind?

I’m Mr. Kiriakis’ attorney. I’d like to speak with my client alone, please.

I’ll be outside.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming, Justin.

Of course. I got here as soon as I could.

I told Justin what happened.

So you know that the cops just showed up at my door last night and arrested me on the spot, for no reason as far as I could tell?

I’m sure it was a shock.

Yeah, to put it mildly.

Well, I’m here now, and the family is here for both of you as well. And Sarah, just so you know, when I left the house, Maggie and Julie were taking turns holding little Victoria while Doug was reading to Thomas and Charlotte.

How are those kiddos doing?

They’re fine, thank God.

And Doug and Julie and Chad?

As well as can be expected.

[Sarah sighs]

Wait. Am I missing something here?

Oh, yeah, there was a fire at the Horton House last night. Everything was destroyed.

What?

Mm-hmm.

So the whole gang is staying with us at the mansion for the time being.

My God. Between the fire and the shooting, well, that explains all the sirens I heard. What the hell happened in Salem last night?

Doug and Julie, they– they must be devastated.

Well, they’re being strong for the kids, but this is obviously very hard on them.

Yeah, it wasn’t just their home. It–it was a part of the history of this town, you know, like, spirit of Salem.

[despondent music]


Finding you here, it’s kind of surprising, actually. I never took you as the praying type.

Maybe you don’t know me as well as you think you do.

[gently] Maybe I don’t. Any news on Harris?

I-I stopped by the nurses’ desk, see if I could just go and sit with him.

They wouldn’t let you in?

Family only.

That’s how you ended up here.

I figured that… the only way that I can help Harris now is to pray. So that’s what I’m doing.


So what are you and Rafe doing for Valentine’s Day?

Oh, well, after Harris being shot and all the craziness around here, we really haven’t talked about anything but work.

Well, I was thinking, and this may not be the best timing, but if you’re up for it…

Mm-hmm.

I would love it if you and Rafe would join me and my guy for Valentine’s dinner.

Oh, that’s kind of sweet.

It would be so cool to all be together. Rafe is really funny. My boyfriend is too. So I know there will be a lot of laughs.

Well, God knows we need them right now. So we’re in.

[gasps]

Yeah.

Great. Yes! Okay, Valentine’s Day with two of my favorite people.

[Jada laughs] I can’t wait.

Neither can I.

So you still feel threatened?

I do. I got a call last night when I was watching the house burn down. It was from an unknown number, distorted voice, but I got the message loud and clear.

What was the message?

“Maybe next time you’ll listen.”

[eerie music]


You think we should explore the possibility of a relationship? I think your amnesia is really kicking in. Do you not recall that when we were together, it was a train wreck? Do you also not realize that since we’ve been apart, it’s been also a nightmare, especially for me, because I haven’t been able to see my kid, all right, let alone have a relationship?

So you don’t think people can change, that if there was something wonderful between two people that it’s still there just waiting to be reignited?

No, no, not in this case no way, not when one person in the relationship has been behaving reprehensibly, not when one person in the relationship has been malicious and vindictive and–and evil and been inflicting pain on the other person in the relationship.

Okay, I admit that I have behaved badly at times. But, Brady, you know damn well that I did it because I love you. I mean–I mean, and I was doing it because I was desperate not to lose you.

So it’s okay, it’s okay to do all these rotten things because– because you love me and you’re afraid of losing me? Is that–that’s what makes it okay, huh?

Okay, no, it’s not okay, but it’s understandable.

All right, Kristen, just– all right, take me out of it. Let’s forget about all the things you’ve done to me. Let’s talk about the things that you’ve done to everyone else in this town, okay, everyone you’ve screwed over– not screwed over, literally tried to ruin their lives. Let’s talk about my brother, when–when you drugged him and you forced him to have sex with you. And you recorded it for the whole world to see, making sure that he was ousted out of the priesthood.

Okay. Shh. Shh.

Remember this?

No, no, no, stop, stop, stop. You don’t want Rachel to hear you, do you?

Oh. I’ll be quiet. You raped my brother.

What are you–what are you–

You raped my brother!

Stop! Those are harsh words. That is–God! And you know what, it doesn’t even fit with what happened between Eric and me. And you know what? Your brother, your brother has forgiven me, Brady.

Is that what he told you? No, no, no, no. See, see, he used to be a religious guy, and he believed in forgiveness. He may have said that to you. My brother is a human being. No human being can forgive something that cruel and destructive.

Oh, and you pulling a gun on me and threatening to kill me in front of our daughter, that’s not cruel and destructive?

[claps furiously]

You provoked me. You provoked me in a way that you only can. I was never going to hurt you. The fact is that was a culmination of everything that you’ve done to me, everything you’ve involved me in– oh, like stealing a fetus and implanting it in yourself, probably the most diabolical Kristen DiMera thing of all time, don’t you think?

I did it out of love, Brady.

Oh, you did it out of love. And that exonerates you, right? Kristen, your idea of love has nothing to do with love. It has to do with possessiveness. It has to do with revenge. It has to do with selfishness. That’s what your idea of love is. And the crazy thing is you keep claiming that “Brady, I have changed. I’ve changed.” But you keep making the same mistakes, the same horrifying stunts…

[Rachel screams]

Keep happening!

Stop it! Don’t speak to her like that!

[dramatic music]


Just stop fighting.

Honey, I am sorry.

You always say you’re sorry, but all you ever do is fight.

Hey, sweetheart, sweetheart, no, your daddy and I don’t always fight.

Yes, you do, and if you say you don’t you’re a liar!

Sweetie, sweetie, you know we have a complicated relationship, your mommy and me, but you know what’s not complicated? The fact that we love you.

Just shut up, both of you! I don’t even care anymore!

Sweet–

Oh.

I hope you’re happy now.

Um, just go, Brady, please. Just go.

I’m sorry. I love you. I’m sorry, okay?

[despondent music]


Come here. Hey, look at me.

[sighs] Sweetie, you know what? Hey, it’s going to be all right. You know what, sweetheart, it’s going to be okay. It’s going to be all right.

It looks like our article struck a nerve with Weston after all.

Well, it’s definitely his doing.

Yeah, but proving it is not going to be easy. Given what I know about this guy and the current situation, he has the means to continue his campaign of terror for some time to come.

No, no, I-I can’t let that happen. Okay? I won’t let that happen. That son of a bitch murdered my wife, and he almost murdered my children. I have to finish this.

Let me help you finish it. We have much more of a chance of success if–if I help you.

It’s not going to be pretty.

Well, I am all-in for down and dirty, if it means getting Weston out of our lives for good.

It is so hard… not to be close to him right now… just to, you know, just to sit beside him… and hold his hand.

[soft somber music]


You think that, um… you think Clyde’s going to go after Gabi or Tripp now?

No. We had nothing to do with the raid, with the article. He’s got no reason to go after the people we love right now. So the best thing we can do is stay put, lie low till we hear from him.

[sighs] We’re never going to be free of Clyde, are we?

You and I, we made our choices, Ava. And as long as that son of a bitch is breathing… We’re at his mercy.

Okay, Xander, walk me through last night. I understand you went for a run.

I did. Yes, it was late. I usually run earlier, but I needed to clear my head.

Where did you run?

I just did a loop through town. I cut through the square and passed by the Bistro before heading home.

Did you see or hear anything when you were in the vicinity of the Bistro?

No, nothing. And it was when I was heading home that I started to hear all the sirens. It seemed like they were coming from every direction.

Um, what about this text on your phone, “Is it done?” What’s that all about?

I honestly have no idea.

Well, I assume that the police will get a warrant for your cell phone records.

There is, um, one other thing I should mention.

What is it?

A few days back, I got a call asking me to eliminate someone.

What?

And you’re just mentioning this now? Why didn’t you go to the police?

I know I should have. It’s just, you know, with everything that was–

[clears throat]

Detective Hunter, I would like Xander arraigned now. Once the judge sets bail, we can get you out of here.

I wouldn’t be getting your client’s hopes up, If I were you, Mr. Kiriakis.

[tense music]


[mellow music]


Wow.

Hey, great turnout, huh?

Way above projections.

You did pretty good, Steph.

Mm. Hey, by the way, I invited my friends to dinner tonight.

Oh.

They have been going through a lot of heavy stuff lately, and I know that they could use a really fun, carefree night out. Besides, I’ve been wanting to introduce them to you, the guy who’s responsible for this perpetual smile on my face.

Well, when you put it that way, how can I say no?

[sighs] Oh, damn it, Brady. God. How could you let this happen again, again? Again?

[sighs]

Now why don’t you just drink this, all right? Sweetheart, you need to just calm down and just–

I don’t want to calm down. Why do you and Daddy always have to fight?

[somber music]

[sighs]

How did I let this happen to me, Stefan?

I let it happen to me too. We both felt like we had no choice. We were cornered. He got to us when we were vulnerable.

Yeah. I don’t like vulnerable. I’m Ava Vitali, for God’s sake. I’m supposed to be strong and fierce. And I’m not supposed to let anybody intimidate me or scare me… But I did. That was weak. And now Harris might… And the last thought that’s gonna go through his head is that I needed him. He was on that dock because of me.

Hey. We’re not alone in this.

[sniffles]

I’m right here. We’re going to get through this together, okay?


[suspenseful music]

What’s this?

A gun.

We can see that.

This was recovered in Xander’s apartment last night. And ballistics just confirmed that this is the same gun that shot Detective Harris Michaels.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[dramatic music]

Luna: What happened to me last night? I– I wasn’t sick or tired. It was those!

Poppy: I’m so sorry, baby.

Luna: The reason why I ended up with zende and thought it was rj is because of– is because of you, mom? Because of you and your mints?

Liam: Hello, rj.

Rj: Liam! Hey, what’s– what’s that?

Liam: Uh, it’s kelly’S. She, uh, she left her soccer stuff in my car. I’m dropping it off for her mom.

Rj: Oh, steffy’s in a meeting.

Liam: Yeah, no, I know. Can I leave it here?

Rj: Yeah, yeah, put it right there.

Liam: Actually, I was kind of hoping I’d run into you.

Rj: Uh, me. Why– why me?

Liam: To pick your brain about something potentially awkward, namely the fact that my dad is super into your girlfriend’s mom.

Eric: Well, I know I’m the old married man here, but I do remember what it’s like to be your age, rj’s, ridge’s, for that matter. Going out on the town, never knowing how any particular evening was going to end up. It’s an exciting time. Although, I know that sooner or later, you start to wonder if, uh, you might be able to find something more fulfilling. Maybe find that one special person. Or maybe you already have.

Eric: Anyone new in your life?

Zende: I thought so, but, um, I think I read the situation all wrong.

Eric: Well, that can happen.

Zende: Nothing like this has ever happened to me. Luna?

Luna: Hi, you.

Zende: You’re here.

Luna: Waiting for you. I don’t understand. This doesn’t make any sense. Oh, my god, what have I done?

Zende: I am so sorry about whatever it is that is happening right now. I would never take advantage of you.

Luna: Yes, I know that. I know. I believe you. I remember enough to know that. How could I? Rj loves me and– and– and trusts me and this is what I do to him?

Zende: You were right. I did meet someone special. But, it’s not going to work out.

Liam: You should, uh, you should hear the way my dad talks about poppy.

Rj: What’s he said?

Liam: Good things. Only good things. Really, really, really good things, actually. However, despite my constant petitioning, I’ve yet to be granted an introduction with the woman, which is why I’m asking you what your read is on her.

Poppy: I was always so careful. I never wanted anything like this, but somehow you ended up with my mints.

Luna: Except they’re not just mints, mom. I was seeing things. I lost touch with reality.

Poppy: I know, okay? They’re not normal mints. I take them as a way to unwind. You know, like some people have a glass of wine. It’s harmless.

Luna: No, mom, it’s not.

Poppy: I never wanted you to know. I tried keeping it from you.

Luna: I can’t believe it. I was drugged by my own mother? Wanna know how I get this glow?!

Eric: All right. No more questions about the new woman in your life.

Zende: I’m not being coy, granddad. If I was going to talk to anybody about this, you would be top of my list.

Eric: Good. I’m glad to hear it. Just know I’m always here if you need to talk.

Zende: Thank you.

Eric: Although there is something I want to talk to you about. It’s been on my mind a lot lately.

Zende: Not your health.

Eric: No, not my health. That’s going pretty well, actually, although, it is related. When I was first ill, when I was hiding my diagnosis from everybody, um, well, I asked rj and luna to help me out with the collection.

Zende: Yeah, I– I understand. Ridge explained it to me.

Eric: Well, I want you to hear it from me. It was not my intention to exclude you or to keep you out of the loop. Not at all. I have great respect for your talent and your skill and your contributions at forrester. You’re very important to our company. You understand that? I wanna work with you, too.

Zende: I’d be honored.

Eric: Oh, the honor would be mine. I’m very impressed with the young talent we have at forrester. I mean, you and thomas, hope, rj, luna. You know, luna is the most extraordinary intern we’ve ever had at forrester, I think. I mean, she’s quick and she’s resourceful and she’s smart and I think she’s inspired. I want you to do me a favor.

Zende: Anything, granddad.

Eric: I want you to get to know her. I want you to work with that young lady.

Liam: I’m not trying to put you in an awkward position, asking you about your girlfriend’s mom.

Rj: No, no, it’s fine. I, um, I– I don’t mind. I just– I only have good things to say about poppy.

Liam: Yeah, but personality-wise, like kind of a free spirit type, from what I understand?

Rj: Yes. Yeah, no, she totally is.

Liam: It’s just hard for me to picture, like… you’ve heard this, right? The actual story of how they met 20 years ago at a music festival. One single, solitary, magical night. And then decades later, she just shows up in la?

Rj: Yeah, to be with her daughter.

Liam: I– I get that. I know that. I’m just, uh, you know, somebody’s gotta play the role of protective son, right? My dad’s one of the wealthiest men in L.A. And women target him all the time.

Rj: Not poppy. No, I– I totally get, like, the concern. But, no, luna and poppy are two of the most honest people I’ve ever met. Like, poppy’s definitely a free spirit. Granted, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t luna’s rock. Like, when she was working on the collection, poppy was there all the time with, like, take-out or coffee. You know, little pep talks. Whatever luna needed. My point is, is that totally don’t have to worry. I can’t even imagine poppy doing anything to hurt anyone.

Poppy: It was an accident, luna, okay? I usually keep them in my bag. I take the mints to help me relax.

Luna: Stop calling them that. They’re not mints, mom! I was hallucinating. I was with zende thinking that he was rj.

Poppy: Yeah, well, they don’t usually do that.

Luna: They did it to me! I mean, how did I even end up with them?

Poppy: Okay, I don’t know. Somehow, there was a mix-up before the party, and you picked up my mints instead of yours.

Luna: I was out of my mind, mom. I ended up in bed with another man. How could you do this, mom? How? Sleep more deeply.

Zende: Luna has a boyfriend, granddad.

Eric: Yes, I know. She’s been seeing rj. Yeah, I’m not suggesting anything like that.

Zende: That could cause big problems.

Eric: Yes. No question about that. No, I want you to work with luna as a mentor. Now, rj knows a lot about this business. He has a great deal of potential talent there. And he’s learned a great deal working with me lately, but, uh, he can’t touch what you know about it. You can teach luna things that– that he never could. I think you would enjoy each other. The two of you have a great deal in common.

Zende: You think so?

Eric: Yes. Look, I think it’d be really great for her. I really do.

Zende: She’s learned so much from you already, though, I–

Eric: Well, I need to start concentrating on other things in my life. Like my recovery. Spending more time at home here. Wanna concentrate on donna. It’s gonna be a while before I get behind the desk again at forrester. So, I want to keep luna engaged. And I want you to do that for me. Find out what excites her. What really turns her on, all right? I think that would really be good for her.

Liam: So, luna’s mom coming to town like right after you two started dating, that’s not– that hasn’t been an issue?

Rj: No, no, not at all. Luna’s, uh, she’s really close with her mom. She missed her, actually.

Liam: She’s definitely not the reason you want a little more privacy lately?

Rj: No. No, no, it wasn’t that. I needed– I needed my own space. It’s very hard to have a moment of privacy when you live with your parents, so…

Liam: Yeah, I’m– I’m aware. Yeah.

Rj: But anyways, though, poppy, I mean, she’s been so supportive of luna with her career goals. I mean, telling your mom that you wanna be in fashion isn’t like saying, “hey, I want to be an engineer or a doctor.”

Liam: Yeah, yeah. Unless you’re a forrester.

Rj: Right. But anyway, I really do think poppy would’ve been supportive of luna in whatever she decided to pursue because she’s just, honestly, she’s just a really positive person. And she just really sees the good in like every situation. Luna has like, uh, she has a similar attitude.

Liam: Yeah, takes after her mom?

Rj: They’re different. They both have the same set of values, you know? They’re both very kind and they both work really hard. They care about taking care of other people. Um, and they don’t let situations that are out of their control make them anxious.

Liam: That’s good advice.

Rj: Yeah, it’s just luna’s definitely not as laid back as her mom. Poppy’s definitely a free spirit, but that doesn’t mean that luna can’t depend on her mom.

Luna: I thought I was with rj last night. I mean, I saw his face. I heard his voice.

Poppy: Luna, I am so sorry.

Luna: You’re sorry? Mom, turns out I didn’t know where I was or who I was with. I love rj. I mean, I saved myself. I– I– I waited until the right guy came into my life. Someone that I trusted. And I don’t just do that with anyone. Like you. I haven’t been with anybody else before rj. He was my first and it was beautiful and pure and– and now it’s tainted. It’s not pure anymore, mom. Because of what happened. Because of what you did to your own daughter.

Poppy: Luna, I would never.

Luna: Maybe aunt li was right about you. You know, I– I didn’t wanna believe it. I– I didn’t see you the same way that she saw you, but maybe I was just naive. Because all of your talk about freedom? I think that you’re just irresponsible. And selfish. You do whatever you want, never minding the consequences of whoever it could hurt. Does aunt li know about the drugs? And is that why she doesn’t want me in L.A. Or around finn or working at forrester? Because she thinks I’m a druggie just like you.

Poppy: Luna, you know your aunt has never been fair to me. She doesn’t know us.

Luna: Or maybe she knows exactly what you are, mom. A druggie.

Luna: I thought that I was with rj, zende. I saw his face. How could I make that up?

Zende: I can’t explain it. But you do know that what happened between us, what we shared… it was consensual, right? I would never.

Luna: I know that. It doesn’t change how I feel. The shock and– and the horror. I love rj so much and we have something so special. Or we did.

[ Phone rings ]

Luna: It’s rj.

Poppy: Don’t answer, okay? You’re too upset.

Luna: Well, he’s been texting me because I told him that I didn’t feel well when I left the party last night. Hi, rj.

Rj: Hey. How are you doing? Are you feeling better?

Luna: Not really.

Rj: I’m sorry. Do you have any idea what happened?

Luna: Yeah.

Rj: Well, it wasn’t food poisoning, was it?

Luna: Um… yeah, I definitely ate something bad.

Rj: Can I bring you anything? Maybe tea or crackers or…

Luna: No, no, it’s fine. I really don’t need anything.

Rj: Okay. Maybe me just being there then? I want to see you. I missed you last night.

Luna: I missed being with you too last night. Um, more than you know.

Rj: You’re at home, right? With your mom?

Luna: Yeah, um… look, it’s– it’s really not a good time right now, rj.

Rj: Okay. All right. Well, um… if you’re feeling better, uh, you’re welcome to come by my place later. And we can make up for the time that we missed last night.

Luna: Yeah. I need to see you too.

Rj: You need to see me? Well, that sounds serious.

Luna: Yeah, it’s, um, it’s pretty serious. Look, I, um, I love you so much, okay? Never forget that.

Rj: I– I love you too. And, uh, we’ll have plenty of time, together. You don’t have to worry about last night.

Luna: Okay. Bye. Well, rj wants to see me.

Poppy: Okay, that’s good. When are you gonna see him?

Luna: As soon as I figure out what I’m gonna say to him.

Poppy: Wait, luna. You can’t tell him.

Luna: I have to tell him?

Poppy: Okay, but you didn’t cheat. It wasn’t a betrayal. You were in an altered state.

Luna: I slept with another man, mom. How it happened doesn’t matter. Look, I know– I know I’ll probably lose rj after this. Like, zende and rj are– are rivals and there’s no way rj’s gonna accept this. I mean, how could he? I can’t even blame him.

Poppy: Please, luna, don’t do that. Don’t tell him.

Luna: Oh, my god. What kind of a mother are you? One night, I’m tripping off of your drugs, and the next day you’re telling me to keep secrets from the man I love?

Poppy: Okay, okay, luna, please, listen to me, all right? You are in an emotional state right now. Okay, you’re freaking out.

Luna: Uh, don’t I have every right to be?

Poppy: But you love rj so much, and he loves you. You two could have a beautiful relationship and future together. The relationship doesn’t have to end.

Luna: Oh, my god.

Poppy: Rj doesn’t need to know anything about what happened last night, okay? It was an accident. You did not mean to sleep with zende. Please, luna, I am begging you. Do not tell rj.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Theresa wakes up at home and calls out for Alex but there’s no answer, so she knocks on his door and finds out he is not home and wonders where the heck he is.

Paulina is in the hospital, on the phone with Rafe. Paulina thanks him for checking in and says she’s doing alright but she’s frustrated that she can’t be available to him 24/7. Paulina says getting the drugs off the street is a start and says to thank the police department for the flowers as she hangs up. Abe arrives with white roses and wishes Paulina a Happy Valentine’s Day.

Johnny and Chanel arrive at the hospital, dressed for their wedding and talking about how they can’t wait to see Paulina’s reaction. Chanel tells Johnny that it was very kind of him to do this. Johnny says he loved the idea just as much as she did and he would do anything to make her happy. Chanel adds that Paulina will be over the moon.

Steve wakes Kayla up in bed with a yellow rose and wishes her a Happy Anniversary. Steve tells her that she’s even more beautiful than when he first laid eyes on her. Steve talks about having so many years together and adventures. Steve states that as crazy as some of those adventures have been, they brought them to where they are now and he’s so grateful for each one. Kayla says she is too as they kiss until Stephanie opens the door to surprise them with breakfast in bed, but apologizes for interrupting.

John and Marlena kiss in the park. Marlena is glad John insisted on this. John calls it a beautiful day. Marlena says it really does help to get out in nature and the fresh air. Marlena hopes that Harris will be alright and worries about what the Hortons are going through. John assures that Doug and Julie know they will help them any way they can. John then surprises Marlena with a Valentine’s Day picnic setup in the park.

Kayla and Steve come out from the bedroom as Stephanie continues to apologize for interrupting. Steve says it’s their fault for not locking the door while Stephanie blames herself for not knocking. Stephanie wishes them a happy anniversary anyway and calls them the sweetest, most romantic couple she knows. Stephanie says the food can wait but Kayla insists that they want to enjoy it.

Theresa wonders if Alex at least left a note but finds that he did not. Theresa then remembers finding the engagement ring in Alex’s jacket pocket, so she checks his jacket and finds the ring is no longer there. Theresa then guesses that means Alex is going to propose today because it’s Valentine’s Day so maybe he’s going to put the ring in a dessert for her. Theresa decides that Alex is going to surprise her by popping the question. Theresa then excitedly goes to get dressed.

Marlena comments on John going above and beyond. Marlena calls it a perfect Valentine’s Day. John hopes it makes up a little for them being apart on last year’s Valentine’s Day but says that gave him a greater appreciation of every day with her. John tells Marlena that their Valentine’s Day celebration is just beginning, explaining that he downloaded the montage of pictures that Johnny put together that he showed her on the rooftop. John suggests tonight, they lie in bed and look at those pictures again under different circumstances which Marlena says she would love. John says it doesn’t seem like a year since they were up on the rooftop. Marlena responds that time goes by so quickly. John says they are too busy making memories like today as they toast their champagne.

Alex comes home where Theresa says she was starting to get worried as he doesn’t usually leave without a note or a text. Alex apologizes and kisses her. Theresa says he’s forgiven this once and asks where he was. Alex responds that there was just something he needed to take care of. Theresa tells him that he’s just in time for a very special breakfast and wishes him a Happy Valentine’s Day as they kiss. Alex tells Theresa that he’s not really that hungry and asks if she’d be up to go for a walk instead, so Theresa goes to get changed.

Paulina talks to Abe about the white roses as Chanel and Johnny arrive. Paulina says they didn’t have to come but they insist there is no where else they would rather be. Paulina sees they also have white roses and starts to feel this isn’t a coincidence, so she asks what’s going on. Johnny informs Paulina that her surgery is not the only reason they are all here today. Chanel announces it’s finally time to let her in on a surprise as she reveals that it’s her bridal bouquet and they are getting married today. Paulina is shocked as she thought they postponed the wedding. Johnny tells Paulina that she’s going to be there as Chanel declares that they are getting married right here.

Stephanie, Steve, and Kayla eat breakfast as Stephanie asks them which of their weddings was their favorite. They agree that it was the first one on the yacht. Steve calls it a beautiful day and recalls how the day before, Kayla had her hearing restored but hadn’t spoken in two months until then as they flash back to that moment. Kayla states that Steve gave her the courage to finally talk again, calling it a glorious moment with everyone they love there to witness it as they flash back to their wedding vows. Kayla declares that celebrating their anniversary with the love of her life and their daughter, reminds her of how lucky she is and how her life is better than she ever could’ve imagined.

Paulina questions Chanel and Johnny getting married in this hospital room. Johnny confirms that Abe will be officiating. Paulina questions them planning all of this as Abe explains that he had all the flowers sent for the ceremony. Paulina realizes that’s why Rafe didn’t know what she was thanking him for. Paulina asks if they are sure. Chanel assures her and asks Paulina to be her matron of honor while Johnny asks her to be his best person as well. Chanel says Paulina can also give her away. Paulina calls it a lot of jobs but says she’s up for it. Paulina calls for them to get the show on the road.

Stephanie, Steve, and Kayla talk about Steve and Kayla being married 5 times. Steve and Kayla talk about exchanging vows in the mountains. Stephanie reveals that she gathered photos from their previous weddings as an anniversary Valentine’s gift. They flash back to their Valentine’s Day wedding from 3 years ago. They talk about meaning every word of their vows.

Alex and Theresa walk to the park and come across John and Marlena, so they greet them and wish a Happy Valentine’s Day. Alex says they know how to celebrate. Marlena invites them to join them. Alex says they don’t want to intrude but John insists. Theresa decides it’s up to Alex. Alex repeats that he didn’t want to impose but Marlena says they would enjoy the company. Alex calls it great since they had no plans, so Theresa goes along with it and they sit down with John and Marlena.

Abe begins the wedding of Chanel and Johnny. Johnny and Chanel then exchange their vows. Abe calls for the rings but Paulina asks if they want to say something personal first. Johnny confirms that he definitely does.

John tells Alex and Theresa about the first time he set up a romantic picnic for Marlena on their first honeymoon which they then flash back to. They comment on still making wonderful memories. Theresa asks what their secret is to staying madly in love for 40 years. Marlena points out that there were a few years they weren’t together while John notes that they always found their way back to each other. John says there is the love, trust, and always staying romantic. Marlena reminds John of the Valentine’s Day dance at the hospital, so Theresa asks for the details. They recall it being 1993. John reveals he won a dance with Marlena for $100,000. Marlena adds that everyone thought they were just friends at that point, but after the dance, they realized they were a lot more as they flash back to that moment. John declares that it was worth every penny. Theresa asks Marlena to show her where the ladies room is so she can freshen up. As they step aside, Theresa informs Marlena that she doesn’t really have to go, but she’s dying to tell somebody that Alex is going to ask her to marry her today. Marlena asks if she’s sure. Theresa explains that she found a gorgeous ring in his jacket pocket and then this morning, it was no longer there which tells her that Alex has the ring with him or he dropped it off somewhere for a surprise proposal. Marlena responds that she’s not sure about this which Theresa questions. Marlena wonders if Theresa doesn’t want to get things with her son in order before making a huge life change. Theresa says she understands that, but she’ll just tell Alex that they can have a really long engagement and they don’t have to get married right away. Theresa adds that she doesn’t want to upset Alex by saying no when he proposes, especially since he bought such a beautiful ring. John asks Alex if he’s okay. Alex responds that he’s good, just feeling a little pressured. John isn’t sure what he means. Alex says it’s Valentine’s Day, so when you are with someone, they expect you to be intensely romantic like John and Marlena. John states that Alex and Theresa’s relationship is relatively new so they don’t have to be intensely romantic as long as he’s honest about it. Alex agrees that he has to be honest with himself and with Theresa.

Kayla thanks Stephanie and hugs her. Stephanie knows Valentine’s Day is very special to Steve and Kayla, so she wanted to honor that. Steve thanks her and asks what Stephanie’s Valentine’s Day plans are. Stephanie responds that she’s going to check in on the Caching Cupid event that kicks off later. Stephanie jokes that she’s going to be gone for hours and mentions that Abe is gone too. Steve and Kayla talk about Abe telling them about his plans to officiate another surprise wedding. Kayla mentions being so happy for Johnny and Chanel.

Johnny begins his own vows by telling Chanel that she’s made him the happiest man in the world today and talks about their journey. Johnny says he doesn’t know where life will take them from here but it doesn’t matter because they will be together. Johnny promises to take care of her and protect her forever. Chanel responds that she loves him with a passion that she can’t express in words, so all she can do is show him and she looks forward to all the years to come. Abe then calls for them to exchange the rings. Abe then pronounces them husband and wife as Johnny and Chanel kiss. Paulina exclaims that it’s such a happy day. Abe congratulates them as they hug. The nurse enters and says it looks like a special occasion. Paulina confirms that her beautiful daughter just got married to her handsome new son in law and for the second time. Johnny assures it’s the last time as well. The nurse is sorry to break it up but announces it’s time for Paulina’s surgery. Johnny says they’ll be right here when she gets back. Abe says he will walk Paulina down the hall. Chanel hugs Paulina and says she loves her. Abe and the nurse then escort Paulina out of the room. Chanel and Johnny talk about how Paulina will be okay and they just have to wait, joking that they are the best dressed couple in the hospital. Johnny tells Chanel how much he loves her as they kiss.

Steve and Kayla talk about Stephanie being sweet and how she won’t be home for awhile. Steve and Kayla then head back to the bedroom.

Alex and Theresa go back home. Theresa talks about it being a treat to run in to John and Marlena and hearing all those romantic stories. Alex says they obviously have a great marriage. Theresa calls that something to strive for. Theresa asks Alex if he wants to go to the geocaching scavenger hunt. Alex says maybe. Theresa asks what Alex had planned for the day. Alex says he was going to go by the office but it’s not necessary for her to come in today. Theresa says she’ll just be here relaxing then and waiting for him. Alex says that sounds good. Theresa adds that she made a reservation at the Bistro because it’s Valentine’s Day and asks if he’s interested. Alex says sure and that he’s going to change for the office. Theresa tells him it’s at 8:00 so Alex says he’ll be there and exits. Theresa wonders if Alex is just trying to throw her off and guesses that Alex definitely took the ring to the Bistro to put it in her dessert or something. Theresa declares that tonight will be the night that she becomes the future Mrs. Alex Kiriakis.

Marlena thanks John for a wonderful Valentine’s Day. John says the pleasure is all his as they kiss. Marlena hopes he didn’t mind her inviting Alex and Theresa to join them. John calls it very nice of her, especially since they obviously didn’t have any other plans. Marlena then informs John that Theresa was expecting Alex to propose and after having spent so much time with Alex, she knows that’s not on his mind. John thinks Alex is doing a little soul searching because he told him that he feels like he’s under pressure to be intensely romantic because it’s Valentine’s Day. John mentions that he advised Alex to be honest with Theresa. Marlena reveals John that she got him something and it’s a keychain engraved “Going Home to Doc”. John calls it perfect because every time they are apart, he’s always going home to her as they kiss. Marlena calls it a combination Valentine’s and birthday gift as she wishes him a happy birthday. John tells Marlena that he loves her now and forever. John jokes that he may not have $100,000 on him but asks her to dance with him which they do.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Claire: My favorite greek goddess? Probably athena. Her name means “queen of heaven.” She was zeus’ favorite daughter. She was very powerful. And beloved.

Nadia: What was she the goddess of?

Claire: Wisdom and courage. Especially at war. But she cherished kindness and peace. So that’s kind of ironic, huh? Here. There’s a picture of her with her spear and her helmet and her shield. And sometimes she would use her father’s thunderbolts as weapons when her city was threatened. Athens, greece. Athena. Athens.

Nadia: Oh, that makes sense.

Claire: Right? And athena wasn’t afraid of anything or anyone. Which is kind of amazing, right? To be that brave. So, men would pray to her before they would go into battle or when they faced big challenges. Because it’s hard to do things on your own sometimes, right? And it’s okay to ask for help. And then sometimes, you get to be the fearless one who helps others.

Adam: Morning.

Nick: Hey.

Adam: Where’s dad?

Nick: Uh, I was just wondering that myself.

Adam: What, did you get a summons too?

Nick: Yeah. Sounded urgent.

Adam: Well, I’m surprised that he didn’t beat us here. Any idea what that’s about?

Adam: Jordan? Victoria? Nikki? All of the above? I mean, family’s been taking it from all sides lately.

Nick: I suppose it could be about business.

[ Phones chiming ] From dad. “Unavoidably detained. I’ll be there when I can.”

Adam: Well, that doesn’t sound good.

Victor: Well, thank you for staying on top of this, all right? At least now we know what we’re dealing with. All right, keep me informed. Hi, my sweetheart. How’d you sleep?

Nikki: Not very well. And I would appreciate it if you would stop tiptoeing around me.

Victor: What in the world are you talking about?

Nikki: You ended that call the minute I entered the room. You were talking about me. And we agreed that we wouldn’t keep things from each other.

Victor: Well, my dear, for your information, I wasn’t talking about you, okay? I was talking about jordan. In all my travels I’ve never seen such dry skin.

Announcer: Additional

sponsorship provided by…

Nikki: What about jordan?

Victor: My security team has been in touch with the prison authorities, and apparently the fire there was due to arson.

Nikki: Well, I figured that.

Victor: All the bodies have been identified. Of the surviving inmates, six are unaccounted for.

Nikki: She is one of them.

Victor: So it seems. But I do not want you to worry about it, okay? She’ll be found. She’ll slip up somewhere along the line. Then she’ll be recaptured. I promise you.

Nikki: Wishing won’t make it so. We need to turn the tables on her, lure her into some kind of a trap.

Victor: Sweetheart, I have considered that, and I knew that is what you were thinking. But I’m not going to have you use yourself as bait.

Nikki: But I…

Victor: End of discussion. I will not put you in that kind of jeopardy. You’re going to stay here. At the ranch. Work from here.

Nikki: I am not going to let that woman turn me into a prisoner again, locked up in this house. I won’t be able to stand it.

Victor: Sweetheart, you can and you will. Not only to keep you safe from jordan, but also to keep you safe from being tempted by alcohol again.

Nikki: It doesn’t work that way. If an alcoholic is determined to drink, they will find a way.

Victor: Sweetheart, you know damn well that I removed all the alcohol in this house.

Nikki: Yes.

Victor: All right? So there’s no way you can drink. Please go along with me on that.

Nikki: Fine. We’ll do it your way.

Victor: It’s for your own good, sweetheart. Okay. I’ve got to go to the office and deal with a few things.

Nikki: All right.

[ Victor sighs ]

Victor: My baby. Come here. This nightmare will come to an end. I promise you. Okay? I’ll keep in touch with you.

Nikki: Okay.

Claire: This book taught me so much about athena. One time, she and poseidon, the god of the sea, got into a contest.

Claire: Hi. I didn’t see you there.

Victoria: Hi. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt.

Claire: No, not at all. There’s someone I’d like you to meet. Victoria, this is nadia. Next week is her birthday. She’s gonna be seven.

Victoria: Oh. Wow! Well, happy almost birthday, nadia. It’s nice to meet you.

Nadia: Nice to meet you, too.

Claire: Victoria is my mother. She comes to visit me most days like your mom comes to visit you.

Victoria: So, how did you two meet?

Claire: Well, nadia had pneumonia. She’s feeling a lot better, though. And I’ve been taking my walks to the kids’ ward. So, when nadia heard that I have a book of greek mythology that you brought me, she got really excited because she loves stories. So, the staff agreed to let her come to my room so I could show it to her.

Nurse: It’s been very entertaining, but we need to get nadia back to her room.

Claire: Of course. If you’re still here tomorrow, we’ll read some more. Sound good? Cool.

[ Claire chuckles ]

Nadia: Bye.

Claire: Bye.

Victoria: Bye. I had no idea that you were so good with children.

Claire: Neither did I. Uh, yeah, god knows how that happened, since I never really had a childhood.

Victoria: No, no. You didn’T. You didn’t have the life that you deserved at all.

Claire: But seeing the kids, maybe we have something in common. We’re scared to be here, and we’re not in complete control of our lives. But seeing them, it makes me feel stronger. Like they need help, and maybe I can give it.

Victoria: That’s really a wonderful way to look at it. That makes me really happy for them. I’m so proud of you. With moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,

Claire: Being with the kids, it gives me energy. Their minds go in a million directions at once.

Victoria: Oh, yeah, I know.

Claire: If I’m going to keep up, I have to get out of my own head. You know, it’s kind of like they’re the perfect distraction in a way.

Victoria: Yeah, well, I guess kids have a way of doing that.

Claire: Yeah, they want to show me their stuffed animals, or talk about the volunteer who told them all about rocks, or the one who gave out magnets.

Victoria: Oh, they do that?

Claire: Yeah. A lot of people come around to help make things easier on the kids.

Victoria: Huh, well, I guess it’s instinctual to want to make a child happy.

Claire: Not for everyone, but I’m starting to figure out I am the kind of person who wants to make a kid smile if I can. It’s the best therapy possible.

Victoria: Better than your actual therapy?

[ Claire sighs ]

Claire: My daily sessions are– are draining. I just– we talk about the same things over and over again. It’s just the years of misery and– and brainwashing. All the horrible things and all the terrible feelings.

Victoria: I’m sorry.

Claire: I know, I make it sound awful, but I understand why I have to do it. And the harder I work, the harder I want to keep working, so I can get better.

Victoria: We all want that for you. The whole family’s pulling for you, claire.

Victoria: It helps so much to know that. I didn’t know what support looks like until I met you and cole. Is there any news about jordan?

Victoria: I don’t want you to give her another thought. I want you to completely put her out of your mind and just let law enforcement handle things.

Claire: I’m sure it’s going to be fine, I just–

Victoria: You deserve for jordan to be nothing but a distant memory to you. And hopefully one day she won’t even be a memory at all.

Chloe: So you asked me to meet. Does that mean you have some good news for me?

Sally: No good news yet, but I’m sure there will be some down the line. Look, our last project is almost complete, and once we put the finishing touches on it, I really think it’s gonna photograph beautifully.

Chloe: Yeah, I appreciate you putting a spin on it, but that was our last job. We have nothing on deck. So, unless, I don’t know, we can drum up some new business like yesterday…

Sally: We are in serious trouble. Everything we worked for, we– we could lose it all.

Adam: Sure you don’t want a refill?

Nick: No, I’m good. Thanks.

Adam: All right. Suit yourself. Well, since we are stuck here waiting, uh, there’s something that I wanted to run by you.

Nick: Am I gonna like this?

Adam: One way to find out.

Nick: Okay, what do you got?

Victor: Sorry for being late.

Nick: Everything all right?

Victor: Well… men to men, I got some news about the fire in the prison. Apparently it was arson. And that jordan woman is missing. She survived.

Adam: Meaning she escaped.

Victor: Yeah.

Nick: Did jordan plan this? Did she set the fire?

Victor: Well, so far there’s no evidence of that, but I wouldn’t put it past her.

Nick: Well, we have to assume she’s headed this way. And the fact that this woman would commit mass murder for her own selfish ends makes me sick.

Adam: Yeah, I knew that she was dangerous, but man, that is horrific.

Nick: How’s mom?

[ Victor sighs ]

Victor: I told her to stay at the ranch and do work from there.

Nick: I mean, it’s a good plan if she’ll stick to it. We both know mom doesn’t like to feel like she’s trapped.

Victor: I know.

Lauren: Good morning.

Nikki: Oh!

Lauren: Your housekeeper said I could come on back.

Nikki: Lauren! I’m so glad you’re here. Uh, there’s coffee, or if you would prefer something else I–

Lauren: No, no. I’m fine.

Nikki: Well, I am just so grateful that you could step in and help me run newman media. I know how busy you are with ben morris.

Lauren: Oh, well, I’m happy to do it. I know I can’t be a sponsor to you like jack, but I’m happy to be part of your support team. And I love a new challenge. Are you kidding? Not many people can say they work with newman and jabot at the same time.

Nikki: Oh, yes, that’s, uh, that’s true.

Lauren: All right. So, why don’t you bring me up to speed on the projects that audra was working on before she left.

Nikki: Oh, um… well, audra was, uh, focusing on finding new ways for mainstream companies to engage with their customers.

Lauren: Mainstream meaning outside entities or divisions of newman?

Nikki: Um, I– I– I’m- I’m a little hazy on that. I– I’ll get back to you.

Lauren: I can see you’re having a rough morning.

[ Nikki sighs ]

Nikki: Yeah, I guess I am.

Lauren: Do you want to talk about it? Do you want to call jack? I was with him when you texted him to distract victor. I know that you’re struggling. How can I help? Sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression That h

Nikki: Lauren, forgive me.

Nikki: Lauren, forgive me. I appreciate your friendship so much. I– I don’t want to fall apart in front of you.

Lauren: Nikki, you’re going through so much. No apology necessary.

Nikki: Actually, it’s– it’s not even the urge to drink that has me so frazzled. It’s finding out that jordan has escaped, and she’s on the loose.

Lauren: What? There’s proof?

Nikki: Victor just heard. She survived the fire, which was deliberately set, by the way. And now she is nowhere to be found.

Lauren: Well, if that psychopath knows what’s good for her, she will disappear forever.

Nikki: Well, I’m afraid that’s not going to be the case.

Lauren: The way you say that, I– she’s already been calling me, trying to scare me… and she’s doing a damn good job of it.

Lauren: Okay, you don’t give her the power. You are stronger than that.

Nikki: Oh, god, you don’t know how much I’m starting to hate that word.

Lauren: Look, I understand how big and ugly this is. I went through this many times with sheila. They draw their strength on your fear. They wanna control your actions and your emotions by presenting this constant threat. That is how they break you down. That is how they win.

Nikki: You’re right. I can’t let her intimidate me. I won’t give her the satisfaction.

Lauren: Uh, what are you doing?

Nikki: I am looking for her last call. Unfortunately, victor’s security team wasn’t able to trace the number, but I know that it was jordan. She played that music she always plays, a song that I used to strip to.

Lauren: Oh, wow.

Nikki: Jordan thought hearing it would throw me off balance. She doesn’t know me well enough to know that I have no regrets about that time. Now I can return the favor. Hello, jordan. I know you’re there. I just called to let you know that you can’t beat my family. So you can keep playing your little games, play that song, which doesn’t embarrass me in the least, by the way. I think of it as a fight song, an anthem, shall we say. Something that we can play to celebrate your final downfall. Yeah, because it’s coming. You have no allies. Claire has seen the truth about her sick, demented aunt. Oh, you have nothing to say to me? I’m not really surprised. Because in addition to you being insane… you are weak. You’re a coward. And I hope you do try to come and get me right here at the ranch. I hope you break through security, get in this house. Yes, I do. Go ahead. Do it. Give me a chance to cross a line.

Victor: What are you thinking, son?

Nick: I’m thinking I don’t like this. We need some solid plan, something that will eliminate jordan as a threat. I absolutely hate it that this is hanging over our heads. It’s time to act.

Victor: I couldn’t agree more.

Adam: Is there any way to set a trap for her?

Victor: You know, interestingly enough, it’s what nikki suggested. But I will not allow her to use herself as bait.

Nick: Then what are the options? You gonna put guards on her 24/7, trap her inside her own home? She’s gonna flip out, dad.

Adam: From everything that you’ve told me, jordan hates you as much as she hates anyone else.

Victor: I know she does. I’m going to use that to my advantage.

Nick: What the hell does that mean?

Victor: I can’t talk about it until the pieces are in place.

Nick: That is not reassuring, dad.

Victor: Son, rest assured that I will do everything in my power to get rid of that woman.

Adam: Look, if there’s anything that I can do to help, you count me in.

Victor: I appreciate that, son.

Adam: Clearly, you plan to use yourself as some kind of bait, and I don’t support that. But I can understand why you feel the need to do it. So, like adam, you can count on me, too, for whatever you need.

Victor: I appreciate that from both of you. But… this is a battle I have to fight all on my own. I would’ve called yesterday.

Announcer: The young and

the restless will continue.

Chloe: Is there anyone in la that you can reach out to? We can travel.

Sally: Not an option.

Chloe: Burned too many bridges.

Sally: Mm-hmm. What about new york? I mean, it’s been a while, but…

Chloe: Years.

Sally: This is so frustrating. I mean, we’ve done good work. I know we have, and– and the feedback from our clients has been super positive.

Chloe: Yeah, but it hasn’t translated into new work. I mean, we get a nice project, and then it’s just one and done.

Sally: Okay, well, once our photography gets done, we can post it all over creation. We’ll get some social media hits, we could get some features on some design sites. Those bring in clients.

Chloe: Sometimes.

Sally: Yeah, I don’t know. Maybe… maybe it’s too late.

Chloe: No, I just feel like we’re tying ourselves up in knots for no reason. This happens to startups. It’s time to ask the investor for another infusion.

Sally: Go back to nick… hat in hand and ask him for another loan?

Chloe: I mean…

Sally: Absolutely not.

Adam: Well, why don’t you just go ahead and say it?

Nick: What?

Adam: You wish I kept my mouth shut, and I just stayed out of it since I was never on jordan’s hit list.

Nick: What I wish, adam, is that you hadn’t sounded so supportive of dad’s plan without us hearing what it was first. We don’t know what he’s planning. We don’t know how dangerous it is.

Adam: Look, there is nothing that we can do or say that’s going to rein him in. Dad is going to stop jordan if it’s the last thing that he does. It’s a figure of speech. As long as we’re on board, we can help keep him safe.

Nick: Yeah, that’s the only reason I went along with it. Let’s just hope he doesn’t take too many unnecessary risks.

Adam: Well, about all we can do now is wait for dad to finalize his plan and let us in on it if we’re lucky.

Nick: Yeah. Before dad walked in, you said you wanted to talk to me about something. What was it?

Adam: There’s something that, uh… I need to discuss with you before I run it by dad. It’s about sally.

Nick: Adam, if… you’re about to tell me that you’re planning to marry her, there’s no need for that. It doesn’t concern me.

Lauren: Look at you. That was amazing. Putting the fear of god into that monster for a change.

Nikki: Yeah, it felt pretty good. But I doubt anything I said will deter her.

Lauren: Oh, don’t be so sure. You were ferocious. And after what I just witnessed, I don’t envy anyone who would want to cross you or your family.

Victoria: You know, it made me so happy earlier hearing you talk about mythology, knowing that you read the book that I gave you and that it actually meant something to you.

Claire: And you were right about the “newman angle,” victor as zeus, the convoluted family tree, all the nonstop intrigue and infighting.

Victoria: The parallels are very clear.

Claire: Does that make you hena?

Victoria: I have been known to hurl a thunderbolt or two.

[ Claire chuckles ]

Claire: I love your visits. I really look forward to them.

[ Victoria sighs ]

Victoria: Me too. You know, the way I see it… you and I are going through a similar process. Just trying to figure out who we are and what kind of people we want to be. And what we should value, you know, and what we can– we can let fall away. And until I have those answers, there’s nothing that I would rather be focused on than you.

Victor: Hi. Am I interrupting?

Claire: Mr. Newman, no. Hi, come in.

Victoria: Hi, dad. I didn’t expect to see you here.

Victor: I just would like a few moments alone with claire.

Victoria: Um, why is that?

Victor: I just would like to ask her some questions about jordan.

Victoria: Oh, um, you know, I’m not sure if that’s really such a good idea, dad.

Victor: Why not?

Victoria: Well, we were just talking about how we want to put that woman out of our heads for good.

Claire: It’s okay. I have a feeling I know why you’re here. Jordan’s escaped, hasn’t she?

Victor: Um, claire, I was just hoping if you could help us with some clues about jordan’s behavior so we can catch her again, you know? If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Claire: I have no idea what jordan might do or where she might go.

Victor: You know that this morning my team got info from the prison. Apparently the fire was arson.

Claire: Then jordan set it. I guarantee you. She probably figured she’d be presumed dead.

Victor: Well, in that case, she’s sorely mistaken. Because the bodies were identified through means of dna. She wasn’t one of the victims. She survived. So she’s a hunted woman again.

Victoria: Okay, but listen to me. There’s a security team in place to keep jordan away from you. So just please don’t give her another thought.

Claire: I think it’s sweet that you’re trying to protect me, but I can handle this conversation. I’m not afraid of jordan, like I told you and cole. And I have no desire to protect her.

Victor: That’s good to know.

Claire: And she knows that. She called me a few days ago and I shut her down immediately.

Victoria: She called you? Here?

Victor: How was that phone call allowed to go through?

Claire: I presume she smuggled in a cell phone so that the prison name and telephone number wouldn’t show up on the caller id. And then she lied to the nurse who brought me the phone saying that she was you.

Victoria: Of course she did.

Victor: Why is this the first time we’re hearing about this?

Claire: I probably should have told you about it sooner. I wasn’t trying to withhold information. I just… I put it out of my mind.

Victoria: What do you mean?

Claire: Well, I told jordan that she could never manipulate me ever again, that I never wanted her to contact me again, and that I wished she was dead. I was furious. She had tricked me. And back in oregon, I had told her that I never wanted to hear from her again, but she found a way to go against my wishes. So I hung up on her. And then when I spoke to my therapist about it, I just– I just shut it out of my mind. And I understand how all of this must sound, but that’s why I didn’t tell you about it sooner.

Victoria: That’s okay. We understand. Don’t we, dad?

Victor: Yes.

Claire: And, mr. Newman, I promise you, if anything else comes to mind, I will tell you right away. I want to help protect the family. Especially nikki. I think about her all the time, and I worry about her and how she’s doing.

Victor: You know, claire, you know that you’re part of the family now. So why don’t you call me victor?

Victoria: That is so sweet of you, dad. Thank you.

Claire: I just wish there was more I could do to help.

Victor: In fact, there is something that you can do.

Claire: Say the word.

Victor: I have a feeling that jordan will call you again.

Claire: Even after how mean I was?

Victor: I bet you she can’t help herself. But if she does, will you kindly give her a message?

Victoria: No, no, no, dad. This is a really bad idea.

Victor: Yes, yes, yes.

Claire: What do you want me to say?

Victor: Kindly tell her that I’m willing to make amends for all the hurt that I’ve caused her sister eve.

Adam: Look, we’re keeping things strictly professional, right? I mean, other than what I’m freaking out about connor, and I need your advice.

Nick: So this concerns sally’s business?

Adam: You funded her venture, and… she has too much pride to admit that things aren’t going well.

> Nick: In what sense?

Adam: Well, in the beginning, there was a flurry of activity and design gigs. But since those projects have wrapped up, it’s been pretty slow.

Nick: That’s the way a lot of new companies are, adam. They spike out of the gate, and eventually things level off.

Adam: Nick, I’ve seen the projections. She’s going to need a lot of cash to keep things afloat.

Nick: If sally needs more capital, all she has to do is come and ask me herself.

Adam: Except she won’T. Besides, my idea isn’t about funneling more cash her way. It’s bigger than that.

Nick: I’m listening.

Adam: At one point, dad offered to create a design division under newman for sally to run, and then he pulled the rug out from under her.

Nick: Yeah, that was, uh, unfortunate.

Adam: No, no, it was rotten. She walked away from a contract with chancellor winters to take the opportunity here at newman, and then he reneged. It was totally unfair. I’m going to ask him to revisit that and actually follow through this time. And she and chloe can fold in under the newman umbrella.

Sally: Forget it, chloe. I’m not going back to nick for more money.

Chloe: Okay, fine.

Sally: I’m surprised that you would even bring it up, honestly. I mean, it’s just wrong on so many levels.

Chloe: Okay, but you and your idiotic return back to adam. That wasn’t wrong. Okay. [ Laughs ] You know what? I don’t want to argue with you about that again. So, um, you know, I’m just not even going to go there.

Sally: Good. Because things with adam are actually going pretty well. So maybe you could just be happy for me as my friend.

Chloe: Yay. But there is one more option to bolster the company we haven’t discussed.

Sally: Which is…

Chloe: Taking on a new partner.

Upbeat music

Sally: A new partner?

Chloe: Someone established with a wider reach and deep pockets. That might be exactly what we need to get over this hump.

Sally: But we would lose control.

Chloe: Okay. Losing some control versus losing the whole company? Is that so bad?

Sally: It’s just– it’s just not what I envisioned. Put it that way.

Chloe: Look, I don’t know what the answer is, but I do know I don’t want to give up on this.

Sally: Well, me either. So let’s just try harder.

Chloe: How?

Sally: I don’t know. We can go to some design publications and ask them for press. We could throw a party. We could design a room for charity house. Offer a coupon.

Chloe: What?

Sally: Okay, no. Not that last one. Look, whatever it takes to get people interested in our services, okay? Because I’m not going back to nick and I refuse to admit defeat.

Nick: Does sally know you’re going to propose this?

Adam: I wanted to know that I had victor’s blessing and that you were amenable before I got her hopes up.

Nick: Smart. Because I highly doubt dad is going to resurrect it.

Adam: Well, that is where you come in. I’m going to need your help to sell this idea to him.

Claire: Why would you try to make amends with jordan? There’s nothing that you could possibly say that would ever make her hate you and your family any less.

Victor: I understand. But do me a favor, just pass it along if you can. If you can’t, I understand. Okay? Meanwhile, thank you for listening to me. Nice to see you again.

Claire: Thanks for visiting.

Victor: All right.

Victoria: Dad. Whatever scheme you have going right now, you cannot use claire as a go-between. I’m not going to allow it. The last thing she needs is more exposure to jordan.

Victor: Sweetheart, listen to me. Your mother is on a binge right now. She’s drinking herself into oblivion, all right? Why? Because that jordan woman is torturing her and will continue to do so. She is our only conduit here, all right?

Victoria: My daughter is a victim, too. Something you seem to keep forgetting.

Victor: I’m merely asking her to pass along a message. That’s all.

Victoria: Dad, even talking to jordan again could cause a setback for her.

Victor: Sweetheart, I’m concerned about your mother, not her. Do you understand? End of discussion.

Claire: You’re upset with me.

Victoria: No.

Claire: And with victor.

Victoria: I just, I wish he hadn’t put you in the middle.

Claire: I’m okay with it. Really, I swear. I doubt jordan’s going to call again, but anything’s possible.

Victoria: This is a terrible idea.

Claire: Actually, I think it makes sense. I– I think he’s setting a trap. It’s a reverse of what jordan did to nikki. Victor doesn’t actually want to make amends. He’s just setting himself up as bait. And if there’s anything I can do to help him catch her and put her away again, then I am more than happy to talk to her one last time. If it means putting an end to this horror show once and for all.

Lauren: Okay, that gives me a good idea of audra’s workload. Although I still have a lot to learn about the media business.

Nikki: Oh, you’ll pick it up fast.

[ Phone rings ] It’s her.

Lauren: Right, you have already said what you need to say to her. There is no reason to pick up that call. And there is no reason to put yourself through what she has planned for you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Okay. I don’t want to sound like leo in the car, but are we there yet? Almost. Ugh, it’s freezing out here. Your honor, I would like to state for the record, I told the defendant to wear boots. The defendant? What, now i committed a crime? What’d I do? You have been accused of looking too gorgeous tonight. Oh, well, guilty as charged. And fyi, your honor, I am wearing boots. Yes, designer and impractical ones. Well, yeah. Alright, step. Oh. There you go. Okay. We’re here. Okay. Ta-da. Chase… why’d you do all this? Happy valentine’s day. Lucy? Lucy! What? Oh, sorry. Hi. You know, we can’t cheer you up if you won’t even try to have a good time. Well, how can I have a good time when it’s valentine’s day and martin’s not even returning not one, not any of my calls? Okay, let’s focus on the positive. Excellent idea. A night out with people who care about you. Kicked off by a toast. Mm. Okay. But if you toast to love, then the contents of this drink will end up in both your faces. That’s the spirit. To friendship. To friendship. To friendship. Cody: Ready to have a good time? Oh, as ready as any single man with zero romantic attachments can be. Who knows? Tonight, maybe I’ll find the woman of my dreams. You could. And you just might.

Hanging on every word you say

is this love? I got you something. No. I did. No, dante. We said no gifts. Yeah, I know. But I lied. It’s nothing big. Dante. What?

[ Gasps ] What? [ Laughs ] You know, you said you wanted to get back into riding, so I thought, you know, options are a good thing to have. I love it. Thank you. You’re welcome. And options are good when it comes to jackets. But when it comes to boyfriends… mm-hmm? …I only have eyes for one.

[ Knock on door ] Mm. I knew that was going to happen. You knew what was going to happen? I knew one day my cheesy lines were going to rub off on you.

[ Both chuckle ] Daniels, what’s up, man? Daniels: I have a delivery. So, um, how were the kids tonight? Uh, great. I mean, typical nighttime antics from wiley, but he eventually settled down. Oh, speaking of, do you need me — oh, no, no, no. No, no, I already — already checked on him. The lights were on, but he was passed out next to his open book. Oh. Why are kids so cute when they’re sleeping? Well, because they’re sleeping.

[ Chuckles ] TouchĂŠ. Did you tell the kids that this wasn’t a one-time thing, that you’re home for good? Well, I thought that’s something we could, you know, do together. They’ll be so happy. Well, I know I am. Are you? Yes. Are you — are you sure? Michael, you moving back in was my idea. No, I know, I just, I don’t — I don’t want there to be any more secrets between us, you know, or half-truths or — or feelings swept under the rug. I just, I want to — I want to put it all out there. Funny you should say that, because before we do this, there is something I need to get off my chest. Curtis: You know, honey, I do apologize for having P.T. On valentine’s day. No, I’m just glad you could fit it in. Yeah. Me, too. You know, every time I go, I get stronger than I was the session before. Mm, that’s my baby. Stronger and stronger every day.

[ Laughs ] Ah, okay. I’m going to change real quick, and then we can head out. Sounds like a plan — curtis.

[ Laughing ] Oh. Oh, my goodness. Hey, don’t look at me. I had nothing to do with that.

[ Sighs ] “Took trina to the nicholas brothers retrospective at the forum. Won’t be back until late. Dinner will be delivered at 8:15.”

[ Chuckles ] Happy anniversary to us.

[ Chuckles ] Make this easier on yourself, dex. Tell me the person who you sold me out to. I’m not taking anyone else down with me. Wrong answer.


This is what you were up to earlier. I heard you and leo talking about a comet passing over new york tonight. Yeah. Leo is very excited. He thinks there’s some sort of valentine’s day magic. I’m with leo. What could be more magical than stargazing with a little champagne. And heat lamps. And heat lamps. Yeah. Just the two of us, cuddled up to see a once-in-100-year event. Well, when you put it that way… right? I wanted to do something special for our first valentine’s day together. Well, as long as you keep me warm. You have my word. I’d prefer a kiss. Sam: Danny. What happened? I’m fine. Hey, fine? Fine and… drunk apparently. I caught a bunch of them with booze at the park. Hey, I thought you were in your room. You didn’t even ask if you could go out tonight. Would you have said yes? No. Exactly. Did you hear him leave? No. Snuck out the fire escape. What? Are you insane? You could have gotten hurt, or worse. I recognized him from seeing you guys around town. Decided since it’s his first offense, I’d let him off with a warning. Alright. Uh, thanks, daniels. Appreciate it. Yeah. Thank you. Have a good night. You, too. Thank god that’s over. I’m going to bed. Not until we talk about this, you’re not.

J’accuse! Jack-a-what? You orchestrated this “meet-cute,” as they say. I-I orchestrated nothing. Oh, fibber. Spinelli, look, dude, I-I swear I’m not lying. I had no idea that maxie and sasha were going to be here. Lucy: You know, I don’t — I don’t begrudge couples celebrating valentine’s day. That’s great, but I just, I wonder… but since they are, be rude not to say hello. No, wait, wait, where are —

[ Growls ] Uh, good evening. Ooh. So formal. Yes, yes. Hi, spinelli. Uh, gracious greetings to all and to no one in particular. I — do you guys want to join us? No! No, no. A-absolutely not. This is a ladies’ night. No boys allowed. Uh, understood. We — we’ll just head — to the bar. We’re gonna head to the bar. So, um, enjoy your night. Uh, it’s not just a night. Like I said, it’s a ladies’ — ladies’ night. Copy that. To the bar. What is wrong with you? You are breaking the girls’ code. It was just a suggestion. Geez. Well, besides, I just thought maybe you might need a break from spinelli, you know, now that you two have moved in together. He hasn’t moved in. Are you or are you not living together in the same house? Okay, temporarily, while the pipes in his apartment are getting fixed. Mm. He’s even paying rent. How long until his apartment is livable again? I’m not sure. But whatever. Georgie loves having both of her parents under one roof. Seems like you don’t mind it much, either. Portia: Mm. This was so lovely of marshall to do! Yes, it was. Honey, I hope you’re not disappointed that we’re not going out. Are you kidding? A romantic dinner at home that I wasn’t required to cook?

[ Laughs ] Look at you. You living the dream, huh? I am. You know it.

[ Laughs ]

[ Both sigh ] It’s really nice. I can only think of one thing nicer. Let’s celebrate our anniversary properly.

[ Car door closes ] Go with frank to check that out. I hope you’ll make it look like I took off. I’d rather joss hate me than mourn me — money is more important to you than josslyn. That’s not true. Stop lying. Sonny?! Sonny? Carly. Oh, no, no. What are you doing here? I’m stopping you from killing an innocent man.


overreacted about you keepingthe nina thing from me. No, you didn’T. Yes, I did. Which was hugely hypocritical given I hid that I had cancer from you for months. You swallowed that betrayal and moved forward, and I didn’t afford you the same grace. And I have been struggling to figure out why.

[ Sighs ] Any luck? You’re my person, michael. You’re the safe, stable place where I put my trust. And with my history of being lied to and manipulated, if that trust gets broken, it — it cuts deep. Uh, I’m not trying to make excuses. No, I know you’re — I know you’re not. But you not being honest, it just shook the foundation for me. And I know that you were doing it from a place of love and that you were trying to protect me, but I need to know that, going forward, if something terrible happens, we will figure out what to do together. Yeah, no, I-I will never go rogue again. I’m serious. No, I know, I know. So am I. Willow, look. We are a team, okay? And I-I am so sorry that I made you feel like we weren’T. You know, I think the most prudent course of action is — is to exit. Why? Didn’t you say you were single and ready to mingle? I would never say it in such base terms, but…yes, that is the general idea. So what? Are you worried that maxie’s gonna see you talking to other women? How many times must I tell you? Maximista is a — is a non-issue. Okay, then I don’t see the problem. Okay, so let’s take this opportunity to come up with some ideas for the new faces of deception campaign. Are we — are we at the office? I could have sworn we were at the savoy to have some fun. Lucy, no more work talk. Uh, well, unfortunately, we cannot afford to take the night off. No, ma’ams, because tracy is out to decimate us. Honestly, I think tracy wants deception to succeed. Aha! Then she has you exactly where she wants you. So much for girls’ night.

[ Metal banging ] Any luck? I’m sorry, brook lynn. Don’t be sorry.

[ Shivers ] What are the odds that both space heaters are on the fritz? Pretty good, considering they’re usually used at the same time, so the propane probably runs out at the same time, too. Yeah, I probably should have checked that. Oh, stop. Look, we’ve got blankets and body heat. Come under so you don’t freeze. Okay, but first, paE. Ooh. There we go. Here, get under. For the most beautiful woman in the world. You are the sweetest. Thank you. Is this better? Much. I promise this will be a valentine’s day to remember, one we’ll tell our grandchildren about. The night granny got frostbite. What was that? Nothing.

[ Shivers ]

[ Chuckling ] Do you know how lucky you are that dante is on the force? If you would have been brought in for processing, you would have a record right now, one that would follow you when you apply to colleges. Colleges? Mom, I’m 14. Yes, exactly. Way too young to be drinking or — or sneaking out or lying to us in general. Danny, you could have been hurt.But I didn’t — that’s not the point. Mom, you’re making way too big a deal out of this!You are too young to be drinking period, let alone in the park! Fine. Lesson learned, okay? No, I’ll be the judge of that. You’re grounded. What? Give me your phone. Mom. Phone. Now. How long? I don’t know, maybe until you learn enough responsibility to get it back. That is so unfair. Oh, well. And so hypocritical. What’s that supposed to mean? Like you didn’t have a drink at my age. Sonny, dex is not the traitor in your organization. Ms. Spencer, it’s okay. No, it’s not okay. Carly, I know you want to protect dex for josslyn’s sake, but I have proof. He admitted he’s working for somebody else. But he refuses to tell me who it is. Listen to me. Brick believed me enough to tell me you were here, okay? You can’t do this. He’s working for the bastard who wants to take me down, carly. What do you want me to do? No, he’s not. He’s not, sonny. Okay. Please, take her out of here now. Wait, no. No, no, no!

[ Stammers ] You — no! Damn it, sonny. Dex is not working for some other mob organization. He’s working for me.


So, is there an etafor this comet or what? I’m sorry. We can go back into the house if you want. I just — I wanted to show you how special you are to me, make this the best valentine’s day ever. Can I be straight with you? You better be. I don’t really even care about valentine’s day. It’s just a commercial money grab to make single people feel like crap.

[ Laughs ] Why are you laughing? Because I feel the same way.

[ Laughs ] As a matter of fact, I wasn’t drinking when I was 14. I don’t feel too good. That’s understandable. I’m going to the bathroom. Do you need help? I got it. Danny. You know that if you’re ever in trouble or need a ride, you can just call me or dante, no questions asked. Well, I mean, there will be questions, you know, eventually, but not off the top. We just want to keep you safe, that’s all.

[ Groans ] “Have kids,” they say. “It’ll be wonderful and fulfilling,” they say. Ah, you wouldn’t trade it for anything. No, I wouldn’T. But, dante, I wasn’t prepared for this. Danny is going to be a handful. Okay, maybe not. Maybe he learns from his mistake. This wasn’t just some mistake. I mean, forget about him putting himself in physical danger. My son lied to me. Yeah, okay. I mean, more of, like, a lie of omission, though. Whose side are you on? Yours. Yours, always. Just you. My son lied to me. And my response was to lie right back. Hi. It’s me for the gazillionth time. Could you please, please just call me back, okay? I — I really miss you.

And now I know the way I’ve always known I’m so glad that spinelli staying with you is working out. I wasn’t really worried about it. He’s my best friend. What was it like… before? When we were together? It was…great. It just didn’t work out. Have you ever thought about trying again? Once or twice.

Show me you with no defenses draw me closer unto the shore if it’s darker like the ocean I will mend it the way it was before ’cause I’m happy in our harbor we forget about the world oh, it’s such a good place yeah, it’s such a safe place and I’m happy in our harbor it’s a haven we call home a haven we call home hold on to him. I hired dex to keep an eye on you. Why would you do that, carly? For you. For me? For our children. Okay. I need some privacy. Can you check and see if she was followed? You were getting in deep with pikeman, and you didn’t have anyone to watch your back. I don’t believe you. Look, I — I wasn’t going to let anything happen to you. I wasn’t going to let donna lose her father. Somebody deposited a large amount of cash into dex’s secret bank account this past year. Couldn’t have been you because you lost all your money when the merger fell through. I found a way. You found a way? You’re going to do anything, you know, for your daughter’s boyfriend. Sonny, dex has saved your life multiple times. Hell, he saved ava. Why would he do that if he was working for someone else? To be more convincing. I know when the deposits happened. After dex was shot protecting you at the warehouse, and after the attack on the island. How would I know that if I wasn’t the one paying him? You’re covering for someone. No. I’m not. And the only people you would be protecting would be your family. It’s michael.

[ Chuckling ] It’s michael, isn’t it?


I didn’t realize that you were interested in spinelli that way. I’m not. But then sometimes I am. I — it’s really confusing. I’m familiar. Spinelli is… he’s a gem. His giant heart, his quirky sense of humor. You would learn a new vocabulary word every day.

[ Both chuckle ] Any woman would be lucky to be with spinelli. So why can’t that woman be you? I was definitely no angel when I was a kid. No way. Get out of town. Yeah. I mean, I was drinking when I was 14. Worse. Okay. So, see, what danny’s doing is kind of what every teenager’s done. And what parent hasn’t whitewashed their past? I just don’t like not being honest with him. But you are being honest with him, virtually about everything except for this one thing, and so he doesn’t take it the wrong way and use it as permission to get drunk. Yeah, I know. It’s not that I think he’s going to be an alcoholic or anything like that. It’s a little more than that. He’s jason’s son. And he reminds me more and more of him every day. Yeah, I can see that. So let’s be real. Jason was an adrenaline junkie. He took insane chances, and he was drawn to danger. And in the end, it killed him. That’s not going to happen to danny. I’m no stranger to adrenaline chasing, either, for different reasons than jason, but… dante, I was wild. Okay. Listen. Look at me. The fact that you’re thinking about all this, the fact that it’s on your radar, makes you one of the good parents, okay? Danny’s gonna be alright, not because of what his parents did, but because of who they are. And I’m gonna be right there to help you out whenever you need it. Alright? Capiche? Capiche. I was supposed to be apologizing to you. No, I — look, I heard everything you said, and I’m grateful, but that doesn’t make it okay that I lied to you. Look, I just — willow, I didn’t — I didn’t want you to be disappointed yet again, knowing how hard it was for you to try yet again, to give nina an opening yet again and to share your children with her — yet again. And, look, there’s another layer to it. What? It’s just, the relationship that you have with nina is the exact opposite of the relationship that I have with my mom. I mean, my mom, she understands me, and she’s — she’s by my side. Even when she’s mad, she’s — she’s still with me, you know? It’s like, it’s — it’s unconditional. Yeah. So me going to my dad first, that was about me, because I knew that it would — it would hurt less to disappoint him than it would be to disappoint you. So if I’m understanding this correctly, you hid something from me because you love me so much. Yeah. And I overreacted because I love you so much. If the underlying factor here is love, what are we doing? I don’t know. I know our life won’t always be perfect, and I know it’s unrealistic to think that we’ll never fight again. We will. But this marriage, this family, it —

[ Sighs ] It means everything to me. And I want us back to the way we were. Are you ready for bed? If you don’t care about valentine’s day, why’d you go to all this trouble? Because I care about you. I wanted to make tonight special. And I figured since you’re such a romantic — you think I’m a romantic? Of course. You wouldn’t be able to write the songs that you write. You’ve got such a big heart. You’re one to talk, mr. Literal knight in shining armor. Ever since the moment I met you. When you clocked me in the head with a beer bottle?

[ Chuckles ] You have shown me how much you care about me every day. I hope I do the same. And then some. So we don’t need to, like, make today more special just because of a stupid date. Great. Okay. Let’s go home.

[ Laughs ] Yes. Here. Whew! You good? Whoa, whoa, brook lynn, look.

[ Gasps ] Wow. Maybe there’s such a thing as valentine’s day magic after all. Maybe there is. Am I right? Michael initially hired dex, yes. To take me down? That’s how it started, but things changed. What things changed? Michael couldn’t go through with it. He said it would cause too much pain, especially for donna and avery. But you stayed? Because I asked him to. To spy on me? No! You have to remember how things were then, sonny! You chose nina over your family. And things were way off with pikeman. We needed dex in there in case things went south. You continued to let this happen because you thought I couldn’t run my own business? You thought I wasn’t strong enough to take care of myself?


I don’t know. It’s hard to imagine loving anyone the way I loved nathan, you know? I’m sure you feel the same way about brando. I did. Until I realized that I won’t love someone the same way. It will be different. It has to be. Doesn’t mean that it can’t be great. I’ve put spinelli through the wringer more times than I can count. I can’t do that again. Then don’T. Uh, yes, well, keep me apprised, and I can come home if need be. Everything alright?

[ Sighs ] James isn’t sleeping. He keeps making excuses to get out of bed. Uh-huh. Well, you — you know you wouldn’t know that if you hadn’t called, right? But now that you are apprised, uh, why don’t you maybe fill maxie in? You think? Well, yeah, it is her son. That’s true. It’s only appropriate that she’s in the loop, right? That is a valid point. And now’s your chance. The “girls’ night only” police have left the table. Feel better? The room stopped spinning. That’s progress. Are you still mad? No, but you and I will have a conversation about this in the morning, and we’ll set some ground rules, okay? Okay. Still no phone? No phone. Hey. Saved me a trip. I was going to bring this up to you. Have like 18 of those, you’ll feel better.

[ Chuckles ] Thanks. Yeah. Good night. Good night. Good night. Danny. I love you. Love you, too, mom. Hello. Ah, hello. All good? Maxie is explaining that james has a crush on the babysitter, and that’s why he keeps getting up. I’ve been there. Haven’t we all? Who was your first crush? Mr. Ryder, my fourth-grade science teacher. He was completely oblivious. Mm, was he, though? God, I would hope so. At least teachers and babysitters are unattainable. It’s different when your crush could actually like you back. Like maxie and spinelli. What? What? You just — wait — okay, it’s obvious that spinelli has feelings for maxie, but the way that you just said that, that’s — no, no, I-I said nothing… you — …because I would never betray a friend’s confidence like that. Okey-dokey. Alright. Subject of maxie is closed. Now, my friend spinelli, however, I know that you would never just stand by and let him put his heart on the line if he didn’t have a chance. You would discourage him, however subtly, from risking their friendship. Right? Sounds like something I would do. My favorite part was when james told her his tongue was itchy. So, is there anything you feel the need to tell mr. Spinelli? Nope. Not a thing. You and michael went behind my back ’cause you thought I was weak? No. Sonny, you know better than anyone you can’t survive in this business alone. I’ve been surviving for 30 years! Plus, I had brick. You didn’t have brick! And the only one around you was nina, and I sure as hell wasn’t going to trust her. So you were helping me by lying to me? I-I was trying to protect you! Okay. We have not seen eye to eye about nina, right? Right, yes. And I accepted all that. But I never in my life would think that you would betray me like this. I was trying to help you. I was not trying to betray you. And if you can’t see that, then you’re further gone than I thought! Don’t try to justify it, because you can’T. Sonny? Sonny!


I should beat a hasty retreat before, uh, lucy accuses me of sabotaging girls’ night.

[ Chuckles ] Truth? I’m having way more fun hanging out with you. Well, that makes two of us. Anyone who sees maxie and spinelli together can tell that they’re a good match. But it’s hard when you’ve tried before, and you couldn’t make it work. Maybe it just wasn’t the right time, you know? Maybe somebody’s missing out on something great. And by somebody, I mean maxie and spinelli. Yeah. Of course.

[ Chuckles ] Obviously. Mm. You know, I kind of wish I knew you as a kid.

[ Chuckles ] No, you don’T. Yeah, I do. I told you. I was wild. I would’ve eaten you for breakfast. Is that so? Yeah. Wild. But lucky for you, I’m reformed now. Well, I don’t know how lucky that is. Uh, reformed’s good, but a little wild is — is good for everybody, too. Wild? Yeah. How wild? I don’t know. Why don’t we go upstairs and you can show me what you got?

[ Grunts ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ] Are you okay? Are you? Yeah. Sonny would have killed me if you hadn’t shown up. I can’t believe you did. Home or the office, boss? Just — just keep driving. Michael: Dad, no matter who you’re with, you’ll always have a place in wiley and amelia’s lives. You know, I love those kids. And I hated being estranged all those months. It’ll never happen again. And I-I hope that you’ll — you’ll choose to — be a part of my life, too. Are you still cold? Starting to warm up. Hold on to what we thought we knew I’m holding onto you when I’m haunted and seeing your ghost fall asleep next to me I wanna be closer, I wanna be closer I wanna be closer to you I wanna be closer, I wanna be closer I wanna be closer to your love I wanna be closer, I wanna be closer I wanna be closer to you I wanna be closer, I wanna be closer I wanna be closer to your love ooh happy anniversary, baby. Happy valentine’s day. Happy everything.

[ Laughs ] I have… wanted to do that for so long. Mm-hmm, me, too. Was it worth the wait? Mm-hmm. When I think about… everything that we had to overcome to get here, all the challenges, the heartbreaks… and look at us. We’re still stronger than ever. It tells me that we’re built to last and that together, we can get through anything. Anything.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

[yawns] Alex. Alex? Hello?

[imitating echo] Hello. Hello, hello, hello, hello. Alex Kiriakis!

[mysterious music] Where the heck are you?


Thanks for checking in, Rafe. Oh, oh, I’m–I’m doing all right, all right. Just frustrated that I can’t be available to you / right now. Getting those drugs off the street, that’s a great start. Ah. Oh, yeah. I appreciate that. Oh–and thank you. Thank you for the– the beautiful flowers. Oh. Oh, well, your department must have sent them then. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yeah, I–I will, mm-hmm. Yeah, bye-bye.

Well, Happy Valentine’s Day, Paulina.

[both chuckling]

Same to you, Abraham. And are those white roses for me?

Yes. Not–not traditional, I know. But I did a little bit of research, and they stand for love and hope and new beginnings.

Well then…

[inhales deeply] Who needs traditional?

[both chuckle]

[soft, sweet music]

Ugh, I cannot wait to see her reaction.

I have a feeling that it’s not gonna be very subtle.

Oh, no. Mama doesn’t know the meaning of that word.

Yeah, that’s part of what makes her so lovable, right?

Yeah, it is, that and her courage and her big heart. And speaking of big hearts, it was very kind of to do this.

Oh, please, come on. It’s no sacrifice on my part. I love the idea just as much as you do. Besides, I would do anything to make you happy.

Well, this makes me very happy. And Mama is gonna be over the moon.

Yeah, just like I am. Over the moon, head over heels…


Mmm.

Happy anniversary, sweetness.

Happy anniversary. Ugh, this is beautiful.

And speaking of beautiful, I gotta say, you’re even more beautiful than the first time I laid eyes on you.

Liar.

Mm-mm.

 

[chuckling] Yes.

No, I’m not a liar. We’ve had so many years together, so many adventures. Let me tell you something, as crazy as some of those adventures have been over the years…

Yeah.

They brought us to where we are right now. And I’m so grateful for every one of them.

Me too.


Surprise! Happy anni–

[gasps] Oh, my God. I’m sorry. I-I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

[door closes]

Ah… mm, so much for that adventure, huh?

Yeah. Yes.

 

[chuckles]


I’m so glad you insisted on this.

Beautiful day, isn’t it?

It is. And it really does help, I mean, getting out in nature and– and the fresh air, being able to breathe.

Especially after last night.

Yeah. I hope Harris is going to be all right. And oh, my gosh, what the Hortons are all going through.

Doug and Julie know that we will help them any way we can.

Yeah.

Yeah.

 

[exhales deeply] Oh–

[laughs] Oh, my gosh. Look what somebody has done. They’ve set up a beautiful Valentine’s Day picnic. You know what? We should go. We don’t want to intrude on their romance–

I don’t think we’d be intruding.

No?

Nah, especially since this beautiful Valentine’s Day picnic is for you.


[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”


[soft music]


Um, Stephanie.

Mom, Dad, I am so sorry. I’m an idiot. I shouldn’t have busted in like that.

No, no. It’s okay. It’s our fault for not locking the door.

My fault for not knocking. Anyway, um, happy anniversary!

[laughter] To the sweetest, most romantic couple that I know. And this food, it can wait, if you want to, you know, get back to what you were doing.

No, no, no! No, no, no, no, no. What we want to do is enjoy this beautiful meal that you put together for us. Isn’t that right, Steve?

Well, y-yeah.

You don’t sound so sure, Dad.

Oh, no, no. He’s sure. We’re both sure. We both are sure.

We’re sure.

We’re sure.

Okay. All right. Well, then I’ll set it up.

Okay.

Great.

All right.

You are crazy.

What?

She went to a lot of trouble for this. And she wanted to surprise us. I think she was really embarrassed walking in on us getting ready to, you know.

Getting ready to? I think we were a little further along than that, weren’t we?

Shh! Quiet.

Shh, shh. I’m just saying.

And I’m just saying that I would not be comfortable going back in there, doing, you know, when she’s out here knowing what we’re doing in there.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. Tell you what, I promise I won’t make you or our daughter uncomfortable. How about that?

Okay, that’s good. You are a good sport and a good papa and a better lover, and I can’t wait to get back to where we left off.

Okay.

Shh.

All right.

Okay, guys, come and get it.

 

[sighs] Well, did you at least leave a note, Alex? Somewhere? No, of course not.

[intriguing music]


[gasps] Oh, my God. The ring’s not there anymore. Okay. Okay, so he took it with him because…

[gasps] He’s gonna propose today. Oh, my God. It’s Valentine’s Day. He took the ring because he’s probably gonna put it in– in a dessert like a chocolate soufflĂŠ at the Bistro, or maybe he’s having a florist put it in a rose bouquet, or maybe he’s out with the ring right now because he’s buying a box of chocolates and he’s gonna put the ring in the box of chocolates. Yes, yes!

[laughs] That’s why. He’s gonna surprise me when he pops the question. Okay, so I need–I need to– I need to surprise him by looking like the fiancĂŠe of his dreams.

[squeals]

[laughs]

 

[laughs]

Oh, my gosh. Talk about going above and beyond. Wow, and even– even in the dead of winter.

Hence the heat lamps.

I’m so grateful.

Mmm.

Now just… the beauty of the water and this amazing spread, it really is a perfect Valentine’s Day.

Oh, sweetheart. I am just hoping that it makes up a little bit for us being apart last year on Valentine’s Day.

Apart? Well, that’s a euphemistic way of saying it.

You know, if anything good came out of that, it just gave me a greater appreciation for every day and every moment that I have with you, if that’s even possible. And let me tell you, pretty lady, that this Valentine celebration is just beginning.

Okay.

Okay. Now, what I have done is, I downloaded that montage of pictures Johnny put together. You know, the ones that I showed you up on the rooftop, all those pictures of our beautiful family. And I got to thinking, it might be nice tonight for you and I just to lie in our bed and look at those pictures all over again under different circumstances.

I would love that.

Doesn’t seem like a year since we were up on that rooftop, does it?

Time goes by so quickly.

That’s a fact.

You know, what I wouldn’t give to do it all over again.

Well, Doc, we actually don’t have time to do it all over again because we are too busy making memories right now.

True. Like today.

Like today.


[intriguing music]

[door opening]

Hey.

There you are.

Good morning.

Well, I was starting to get a little worried because you don’t normally leave without leaving me a note or a text.

I’m sorry.

You’re forgiven. But just this once.

Oh.

So where were you?

There was just something I needed to take care of.

Okay. Well, now that you’re here, you are just in time for a very special breakfast, banana cream waffles, Ă  la Donovan.

Wow.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Mm. That’s right, it is Valentine’s Day, isn’t it? Babe, there’s something I gotta tell you though, too. I’m not really that hungry. Do you think maybe you’d be up to go for a walk instead?

A walk?

Yeah.

A walk? Oh. Yeah. We can go for a walk. Okay, I’m just gonna get changed then.

Okay.

Oh, Abraham. They are so beautiful.

[both chuckle] Oh, well, I guess it’s white roses day.

What do you mean?

Well, see, those are from the Chamber of Commerce, and their twin right over there, they’re from the Salem PD.

[laughs] Well, you know, are white roses some kind of good luck charm for making it through surgery or something?

Happy Valentine’s Day, Mama!

 

[gasps] Hey, baby girl and Johnny. You two didn’t have to come this morning.

Oh, come on. We wanted to come. There’s no place we’d rather be, right, Chanel?

Definitely not.

Mm–uh, and look at that. You bought me white roses too? Not that they–you know, they aren’t beautiful, but, uh, I could open me a white flower shop.

[laughter]

Yeah.

Uh-uh, I’m getting the feeling that this is not a coincidence. Uh–okay. Okay. All these white flowers. who’s gonna tell me what’s going on in here?

Okay. Well, your surgery is not the only reason that we’re all here today.

No. No, it isn’t. So I think it’s finally time that we let you in on a little surprise. This is my bridal bouquet. And…ta-da! Johnny and I are getting married today.

What? I-I thought you postponed the wedding. You mean I won’t be there?

Oh, you’ll definitely be there, yes.

Yep, that is right, because we are getting married right here.

[soft, sweet music]


Delicious.

Yum.

So it’s Valentine’s Day…

Yes.

Mm-hmm.

And your anniversary.

Mm-hmm.

And I have a very important question.

Well, let’s hear it.

Which of your weddings was your favorite?

Oh. Definitely our first one on the yacht. Right, Steve?

Yes.

Mm-hmm.

Yes. Definitely.

Mm-hmm.

It was such a beautiful day.


The night before the wedding, your hearing was restored. But you hadn’t said a word for nearly two months. And the, um–the captain of the ship was officiating. Kimberly was speaking for you. And I could see how much you were trying to speak. You were trying so hard. So I signed “courage” to you. And finally, at first just in a whisper, you said my name.

Take you, Steve, to be my husband. I will love you and honor you and keep you, in sickness and in health.

And then you kept going, getting more and more confident. And you were finally able to say all those beautiful words to me.

Your papa gave me the courage to finally talk. It was a joyful, glorious moment. And everybody we loved was there to witness it.

I wouldn’t be the man I am right now if it wasn’t for you. See, I–I thought I was brave, but I found out that it takes more courage to open up to another person. I thought I was strong, but you showed me that it takes more strength to let people see your feelings. And… I thought I knew how to love. But now I know that it’s much harder to let someone love me. And that someone is you. You saw into my heart when no one else could, and you believed in me. So I’m gonna spend the rest of my life living up to the faith that you have in me. I don’t have much, baby. But what I have is yours. I’m yours. I love you, sweetness.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed of loving a man who was brave and strong and true, and of a romantic wedding on the water surrounded by all the people I love the most. I never told that secret dream to anyone. But somehow, you found out. You gave me that dream. You made it come true. There’s just one thing that’s different. It’s far more wonderful than I ever imagined. Well, I can certainly say that celebrating our anniversary here with the love of my life and our beautiful baby girl here with us, it really reminds me how lucky I am and how my life is better and richer and sweeter than I ever could have imagined it.

Mine too.


You’re getting married in here? In this room?

That is correct, with the former mayor of Salem officiating.

That’s right. And I come complete with a fully authorized marriage license.

Oh, wait a minute. You–you planned all this? So those flowers are not from the Chamber of Commerce or the Salem PD?

No, I had them sent here for the ceremony.

Oh, Lord, no wonder Rafe didn’t know what I was thanking him for. Oh, my, oh, my! Oh–oh, no, wait, no. Are you two sure that this is what you want?

Oh, we are more than sure, Mama. And I would–I was hoping that you would be my matron of honor.

And I was hoping that you would be my best person.

And you can also give me away.

Oh, well, that’s a lot of jobs, but I’m up for it! Oh, and do I hear wedding bells? So hey, let’s–let’s do it. Let’s do it. Let’s get this show on the road.

[soft, sweet music]

So you two were married four times, right?

Um–

Uh, well, um, actually five, if you count the time we got married in the mountains, in the snow. Well, we– we exchanged personal vows.

Mm-hmm.

And do you remember I gave you a ring that I was wearing…

Mm-hmm.

On a chain around my neck?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah, with all the ice on the trees, we called it our snowy cathedral.

Aww.

That’s right.

Well, I don’t have any photos of your wedding in the snow, but I did gather some photos from your other weddings as a little anniversary, Valentine’s Day gift. both: Aww.

What a wonderful gift.

So sweet.

Oh, my gosh, look at how handsome your papa was back then.

[both chuckle] Of course, I think you’re more handsome now, of course.

Oh, well, thank you.

Mm-hmm. Wow.

Oh, look at that.

Ah.

That’s from our wedding– our Valentine’s Day wedding three years ago. Do you remember what you said to me at that wedding, sweetness? ‘Cause I sure do.


I know I could never love another man the way I love you. I just–I love you. I love your courage and your– your kindness, passion. You’re smart and funny and so sexy. I love your devotion to your family and to me. I will never get tired of looking at your handsome face for the rest of my life. And I’m gonna tell you right now, this is the last time I am doing this, okay? It’s the last time.

 

[laughing] Okay.

I am never, never letting you go again. Do you understand me?

I do.

And I meant every word.

I know you did, baby. And I second that emotion because I’m never, ever gonna leave you either.


[both laugh]

Well, pretty clear for February, huh?

Yeah, I–hold on.

Really? Right now?

Look.

[laughs]

Oh, yeah, it’s John and Marlena.

Come here. Hey, you two. Happy Valentine’s Day.

Hi, Alex, Theresa.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

You too.

You too, and this spread. Wow, you know how to celebrate.

Yes.

Wow.

W-would you like to join us?

No, we wouldn’t want to intrude.

Nah, nah, what do you mean? Look, we got more food than we can handle here. So if you feel like it, please join us, please.

No, no, it’s–it’s up– it’s up to Alex.

Well, again, I-I want to make sure you’re not thinking we’re, like, imposing.

No, not–

You’re not imposing. We’d enjoy the company, right?

I mean, this is kind of great, right? We didn’t have any plans. I mean–

Yeah, this is great since we have no plans. Yay.

Oh, here, let me take this.

Thanks.

Of course. Wow.

We are gathered here today to join Chanel DuPree and John Roman DiMera in the holy union of marriage. Now, the most remarkable moment of life is when you meet the person who makes you feel complete. And for Johnny and Chanel, that remarkable moment has led to this one. So without further delay, Johnny, would you repeat after me?

Yes.

I, John Roman, take you, Chanel, to be my wedded wife…

I, John Roman, take you, Chanel, to be my wedded wife…

To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer…

To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer, for poorer…

In sickness and health, to love and cherish until death do us part. This is my solemn vow.

In sickness…

[clears throat] And in health, to love and to cherish till death do us part. This is my solemn vow.

Chanel, it’s your turn.

[soft, sweet music]


I, Chanel, take you, John Roman, to be my wedded husband…

I, Chanel, take you, John Roman, to be my wedded husband…

To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer…

To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer…

In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until death do us part. This is my solemn vow.

In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until death do us part. This is my solemn vow.

And now for the exchange of rings.

 

[gasps] Wait a minute. Um, don’t you two want to say something personal?

Um, yeah, I– I don’t know about you, but I definitely have something personal I would like to say.

Now, the first time I did this, set up a romantic picnic for my beautiful bride here, it was in a park in West Virginia, and it was our first honeymoon.

[laughter]

It was in early September, and John wanted to go for a walk, and he– he brought along a white picnic basket with a blanket that he spread out on the lawn.

[soft music]


* Did you ever dream * * Love would come and stay? * * Well, I did * * I wish that dream could last * * Forever * both: * True loves comes once in a lifetime * * True love *

* You’re the one I want to live for *

* I want to live for *

* You’re the one I need to find *

* I need to find * both: * And the truth is, I will only feel this way * * Once in a lifetime *

So many wonderful memories.

And we’re still making them.

 

[sighs] So what’s your secret to staying madly in love for, like, years?

Well, I don’t think it was actually years. We–we met in . But there were a few years where we weren’t together.

But we always found our way back to each other. Now to answer your question, what’s the– what’s the secret of staying madly in love? Well, it boils down to two things. Number one is respect. Number two is trust. And of course, always staying romantic helps.

Do you remember, the Valentine’s Day dance at the hospital?

Oh.

You paid a fortune to dance with me.

Worth every penny.

Oh, come on, you can’t just leave it at that.

Details, details, please tell us.

Hmm.

It was , I think.

‘, yeah, for sure.

Yeah. And there was a hospital dance and auction.

And winning a dance with this knockout here was one of the auction items.

I was so afraid nobody would bid on it.

Well, yeah. The bidding started out low and slow. I mean, there was Sean Brady, and then there was Tom Horton, and then–

And then?

I stepped up to the plate. And I won the dance of a lifetime, for a mere $,.

[coughs sarcastically]

What? K?

You heard me.

Wow. I’d say that that’s top dollar.

Yeah.

Well, everybody thought that we were just friends up until then. But I think after the dance, they realized we were a lot more than just friends.

Like I said, worth every penny.

Oh, I’m sorry. We haven’t offered you anything. Would you like some lemonade or some iced tea?

No, I’m good. Thank you though.

Me too.

Actually, Alex, would you just excuse us? Marlena, can you show me where the ladies’ room is? I just need to freshen up a little bit.

Ladies’ room? I’m not sure they’ll have a ladies’ room. I think there may be a restroom somewhere.

Yeah.

We’ll figure it out.

Okay. I don’t really have to go. I just–I’m dying to tell somebody that Alex is going to ask me to marry him today.

Oh, are you sure?

Yes. Well, see, I found this gorgeous ring in his jacket pocket. I wasn’t snooping or anything. And just the jacket was on the chair. I was going to go put it away. And then the ring fell out, and I put the ring back. And then this morning, the same jacket was on the chair, but there was no ring. So that tells me that Alex has the ring with him right now. Either that, or he’s dropped it off at The Bistro or somewhere, I don’t know, so that he can have it hidden somewhere so that he can surprise me with it when he proposes.

Theresa, I’m– I’m not sure about this.

Why? What do you mean?

Well, I don’t– I don’t know if he’s planning on proposing or not. But–excuse me if I’m overstepping. But I wonder if you don’t want to get things with your son in order before you make a huge life change.

Okay. Well, I do understand that. But I mean, I’ll just tell Alex that it’ll be a really long engagement. We don’t have to get married right away. Right? And plus, Marlena, I don’t– I don’t want to upset him and say no when he proposes to me, especially since he’s bought me such a beautiful ring.

Hey, Alex. You okay?

Yeah. Yeah. I’m good. Just feeling a little pressured.

Not sure what you mean by that.

I mean, it’s Valentine’s Day. And, you know, when you’re with somebody it’s like, they expect you to be intensely romantic, like you are with Dr. Evans.

Yeah, well, you know, you and Theresa are in a relatively new relationship here. And just because it’s Valentine’s Day, you don’t have to be intensely romantic as you put it. You know, it’s okay. It’s okay if you don’t feel that way as long as you’re honest with yourself about it, and with Theresa.

Yeah. You’re absolutely right. I have to be honest with myself and with her.

Thank you, baby girl. This was just the best, the sweetest. Thank you.

Yes.

You’re so welcome, Mom. I know that Valentine’s Day is very special to you two. So I wanted to honor that.

You sure did, little sweetness. Thank you. So what about you? What are your Valentine’s Day plans?

Actually, I’m going to go check in on the Cash and Cupid event that kicks off later this morning.

Oh.

And by the way I’m going to be gone for many hours, many, many hours if anyone wants to know. And Abe’s already been gone for the day, so–

Oh, well, we know that because we talked to him last night. And he told us about his surprise for Paulina, that’s so nice.

That’s so great he’s officiating another surprise wedding, huh?

Yeah, it is. I am so happy for Johnny and Chanel.

Yeah.

Hello. Um… Chanel, today, you have made me the happiest man in the world by agreeing to share the rest of your life with me. The journey which led us to this moment was certainly not without its own unique ups and downs. Nevertheless, here we are. And I thank God for that. Now I don’t know where life’s gonna take us from here. I really don’t care. Because I know that wherever it is, we will be together. So…

[clears throat] Give me your tired feet, give me your burnt donuts, give me your lost car keys. Just give me you every day. In return, I will give you all my love for the rest of my days. I promise to respect you and cherish you, to encourage and comfort you, to care for and protect you now and forever.

Johnny–

Mm-hmm.

 

[chuckles] I love you with a passion that I don’t really know how to express in words. All I can do is show you through tender kisses and watching scary movies, every single scary movie with you. Even though I hate them, you make me feel safe. And sticking by your side through thick and thin because I know that together, we can overcome anything. I look forward to years of adventure by your side. You make me laugh. You made me think. And above all, you make me better. I give you my hand I give you my heart and I give you my love for all the years to come.

Well, now this couple will exchange rings as a symbol of their love and devotion.

Thank you very much.

Okay. That one’s yours. With this ring, I thee wed.

With this ring, I thee wed.

And now, by the authority vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.


This is such a happy day.

Congratulations, you two.

Yes, sir.

My darling girl.

Oh, come here.

Oh, congratulations.

Yes.

This looks like a special occasion.

Very special. Oh, my beautiful daughter just got married to my handsome new son-in-law Oh, and you know, for the second time actually, but most definitely for the last– right? Right, Johnny?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Most definitely, the last. You’re stuck with me forever.

I better be. I better be.

Well, I’m sorry to break this up, but it’s time to take you to surgery.

Oh. All right, I’m–I’m ready.

We’ll be right here when you get back, Paulina.

All right, I’m gonna walk you down the hall as far as they let me.

Okay.

I love you so much, Mama.

I love you too. Oh, I love you. I love you both. Okay.

[somber music]


She’s gonna be okay.

Yeah.

I know it.

Yes. I know it too.

And now we wait.

We do.

In our tux and gown. Best dressed couple in the hospital, right?

Best dressed married couple in the hospital. Hey, have I told you yet today how much I love you, wife?

Yes. You have. But you can tell me again, husband.

I love you so much, Chanel.

I love you too, Johnny.

Do we just have the most dolly daughter in the entire world? So sweet.

Just like her mama.

Mm, I think her papa’s pretty sweet too.

Thank you. And now as much as I adore our little girl, I’m really kinda glad that she’s not gonna be home for a while.

Yeah. So am I. In fact, I’m a little bit more than kinda.

Oh baby.

Come on.

You ready to get busy?

No, careful now.


Isn’t it such a treat running into John and Marlena, hearing all these romantic stories.

Yeah, I liked them. I mean, they have a great marriage, obviously.

Something to strive for, right?

Yeah.

So do you want to do the scavenger hunt today? Cash in Cupid.

I don’t know, babe, maybe.

Okay. I mean, what do you– what do you have planned today? Super busy or–

I’m going to go by the office for the afternoon. But you do not have to come in today. It’s not necessary.

Okay, well, then I will just be here then, relaxing and waiting for you.

Sounds good.

Okay.

Also, I made a reservation at The Bistro because it’s Valentine’s Day. And they have a Valentine’s prefix. Are you interested?

Sure. Why not? I’m gonna go change for the office.

o’clock?

I’ll be there.

“Sure, why not?” He’s just trying to throw me, right? Yeah. I bet he definitely took the ring to The Bistro, and he’s gonna put it in like a soufflĂŠ, or dessert, or whatever. Tonight is going to be the night that I become the future Mrs. Alex Kiriakis.


Thank you for a wonderful Valentine’s Day, my love.

Well, since I get a kick out of surprising you, the pleasure is all mine.

I hope you didn’t mind me inviting Alex and Theresa to join us.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. It was very nice of you, especially because they obviously didn’t have any other plans.

Right.

What’s–what’s that? What are you thinking?

Well, um, Theresa, I think, was expecting Alex to propose to her. She mentioned that when we went to the ladies’ room. And after having spent so much time chatting with Alex, I know that is not on his mind.

Yeah. Well, you know, I think the young man is doing a little soul searching because he told me that he feels like he’s under a lot of pressure to be “intensely romantic,” as he put it, because it’s Valentine’s Day. And I said, hey, kid, just take the pressure off yourself and be honest with Theresa.

Well, that’s very good advice.

Thank you.

Good for you. Speaking of intensely romantic, I got you a little something.

Oh, Doc.

It isn’t anywhere near as spectacular as all this.

You– oh. Wow. Okay. What you got there?

“Going home to Doc.” I’m gonna have to disagree, because this is perfect. And I’ll tell you why. Every time we’re apart, in my mind, I am always going home to you.


Just so you know, it’s a– it’s a combination of happy birthday and Valentine’s Day gift. Happy birthday, my love.


I love you. Now and forever.

I love you.

Now, I may not have $, on me right now.

[laughs]

But would you care to dance with me?


This one’s on the house.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Sentimental music ]

Poppy: Tell me what happened, luna.

Luna: I don’t know.

Poppy: Okay, but you said you woke up in bed with zende.

Luna: Yes, but I thought it was rj. I saw his face, mom. I thought I was in bed with him, but it was zende. I slept with zende.

Poppy: Oh, honey, I am so sorry.

Luna: Something’s not right, mom. Something was seriously wrong with me last night, and I don’t know what it is, but I need you to help me, please.

Brooke: Honey, I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about.

Rj: Probably not. It’s just it seemed like luna was a little down when she was on the phone.

Brooke: Well, at least you got to talk to her after trying to reach her all morning.

Rj: Yeah, but that’s– that’s the thing. Luna, she’s never without her phone. She always has it on her, ready to pick up.

Brooke: She probably just needed to sleep in.

Rj: It sounds like it was more than that. I don’t know, but if you’re right, you know, and– and she’s just not feeling well, then, you know, I wanna be there for her, to help her and take care of her.

Brooke: Well, it’s nice that you offered, you know, she knows that you care. But luna’s not alone here in los angeles. She does have her mom to look out for her.

Luna: I thought that I was with rj, zende. I saw his face. How could I make that up?

Eric: Zende? What’s wrong?

Eric: I was getting some fresh air outside in the courtyard. I thought I’d stop in and say hi.

Zende: I’m glad you did. Congratulations again to you and donna.

Eric: Thank you. Yeah, your, uh, your granddad is a married man again. I’m officially off the market.

Zende: I feel bad for the ladies of beverly hills. They will be bummed to hear it.

Eric: It was great last night. It was so much fun surprising everyone. And surprising donna, especially. I mean, the whole evening was a great, great treat.

Zende: Yeah, we are all really excited for you. Truly.

Eric: You okay this morning? I mean, you seem a little down this morning. You okay?

Zende: Yeah, I, um, I just got a little bit of a stomach ache. That’s– that’s all.

Eric: So, you’re feeling the effects of last night, are you?

Brooke: Did anything happen with you and luna last night?

Rj: No. Nothing. I mean, she was excited to be at granddad’S. She was really honored to be included. She was having a good time at the party. Um, and then after a few hours, she got tired and she wanted to go home. She went home early. I don’t know. It didn’t seem like a big deal at the time.

Brooke: So, you didn’t argue or…

Rj: No. Nothing. Nothing at all. I– I don’t remember her being upset ever.

Brooke: Oh, honey. I’m sure she just wasn’t feeling well. And if that’s the case, she has her mother to take care of her. And a mother’s love is always the best medicine.

Luna: How could i have done that? This isn’t me.

Poppy: No, it’s not.

Luna: This isn’t who I am. I love rj. I would never cheat on him. Never. But I did. I cheated on the most wonderful guy. I mean, why would I even do that? How could I do that?

Poppy: I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I hope you can forgive me.

Luna: Mom, what are you talking about? What are you saying? Open your eyes bigger.

Eric: You had a good time last night, didn’t you?

Zende: At the party? Yeah, yeah, it was cool.

Eric: Good. I’m glad you enjoyed yourself.

Zende: Yeah, you really pulled it together at the last minute there. An engagement and a wedding on the same night. Pretty badass.

Eric: Badass. That’s nice. I’m not called that very often. I think I like it. I had a lot of help pulling it off, though. Really.

Zende: Yeah, I don’t know how you manage it all. And you’re still recovering from a serious illness.

Eric: I feel pretty energized these days. Being married to a younger woman can really do that for a man, you know? I couldn’t wait to marry donna.

Zende: After all you’ve been through, I bet.

Eric: Look, when you know, you know, right? Why put it off?

Zende: I’m happy for you, granddad.

Eric: You know, zende, there’s a cure for what you’re feeling, right now?

Zende: What?

Eric: Yeah, um you know, a lot of water and– and some aspirin, some vitamin b, maybe a little hair of the dog, some people say.

Zende: I’m not hungover.

Eric: Are you sure? You’re not just feeling the effects of the evening? It’s nothing to be ashamed of, zende. It was a really fun evening. Everybody was drinking a lot of champagne, having a lot of fun. Everyone, everyone was. I’m just– I’m just glad there were no, you know, big slip-ups for the evening. It was a really unexpected night, wasn’t it?

Zende: Totally unexpected. So that’s– that’s what love can do, you know?

Zende: Love?

Eric: Yeah, love.

Rj: Is it pathetic that I already miss luna?

Brooke: No, honey. I think it’s sweet.

Rj: It’s just that I’m just so used to seeing her every morning. It’s just, it feels like weird to me that she’s not here, you know? And– and it’s very unlike her not to text me when she first wakes up, you know? And then, when I do call her and she does pick up this morning, there’s this tone in her voice that was just like, you know, like I’ve never heard that tone in her voice before.

Brooke: It can’t be something too horrible. I mean, what’s the worst it could be?

Rj: I don’t know. Maybe she’s mad at me?

Brooke: I highly doubt it. And if she is, I’m sure the two of you could talk through it, right?

Rj: Yeah, I guess. I mean, we’ve had a pretty solid track record so far. We’ve– I don’t think we’ve had a single disagreement since we first met each other at granddad’S.

Brooke: I just can’t believe that you two met in the forrester mansion the same way your father and I met. It’s crazy. I look back at that time and I remember it fondly. Your father and I have had our ups and downs, but we will always have that intense connection. And now you and luna are together. I just hope your road will be much smoother.

Poppy: I am so sorry, baby. And I hope you can forgive me.

Luna: Mom, you’re making no sense. This isn’t about you. You weren’t there at zende’s last night.

Poppy: I know, but it was my fault.

Luna: How? If you’re– if you’re gonna try and blame this on my upbringing, you have nothing to feel guilty about.

Poppy: No, no, it’s not about–

Luna: Then what is it? I’m the one that slept with zende. How is this possibly your fault?

Poppy: It was a mistake, and I am so sorry.

Luna: Would you stop? What do you have to feel sorry about?

Poppy: I think I know what happened to you last night. I would’ve called yesterday.

Eric: I was actually surprised you didn’t bring anybody with you last night.

Zende: Well, in all fairness, you hardly gave me a heads up.

Eric: I guess I didn’t, did I? I’m sorry about that. I just want to assure you, you’re welcome to bring anyone with you anytime you come to the forrester– you know that.

Zende: Yeah, yeah, no. I just wanted to focus on you being with the family.

Eric: I understand that. Sometimes, it’s easier not to worry about if someone’s being entertained or not, or if they’re just happy just being with you, you know. Although, who wouldn’t have had a good time last night? It was definitely an evening to remember.

Zende: Definitely.

Eric: And you’re out there though, aren’t you? I mean, look at you. You’re this incredibly eligible young man, right? You’re handsome, you’re accomplished. You’re a forrester, for god’s sake. Any woman would be lucky to be on your arm.

Zende: I appreciate that, granddad.

Eric: You’re ready, aren’t you? I mean, you’re ready to find that someone special, aren’t you?

Zende: Yeah. Yeah, I am.

Eric: You already found her?

Rj: Yeah, I mean, I guess we were bound to get on each other’s nerves at some point.

Brooke: Happens every once in a while.

Rj: Yeah, I just can’t imagine it with luna though. I’m such a huge fan of everything she does. Except, you know what, there is one point of contention between us, and that’s the air. She likes it freezing cold for some reason.

Brooke: Oh, my gosh, that could be a problem.

Rj: I don’t know. Honestly, now that I think about it, I mean, we’re just kind of like the most annoyingly compatible pair ever.

Brooke: That’s good. You’re a perfect match. I mean, there’s always setbacks and every relationship has its challenges.

Rj: Yeah. You and dad have been through some really tough times.

Brooke: But it’s only made us stronger.

Rj: Yeah, and– and that’s good and all, but honestly, I would like to avoid all of the drama with luna if I could.

Luna: You know what happened to me last night?

Poppy: Tell me again what you were feeling.

Luna: Mom, please.

Poppy: Please, luna, just go over it again. Tell me what you were feeling.

Luna: Um, I was having fun at the party and then suddenly, I got like really tired, so I told rj that I was gonna head home, and he offered to drive me, but I insisted that I’m fine, and I’d just order a car like I usually do. Then, I was walking outside and I saw water bottles in one of the guest houses. For some reason, I was like unbelievably thirsty. So, I went in the room and grabbed some water. I don’t know, I must have laid down and fallen asleep. I– I seriously remember looking up and seeing rj. Like, he looked so sweet and gorgeous. I don’t understand how I saw him instead of zende. It’s almost like, I don’t know, like I was hallucinating or something. It makes no sense.

Poppy: But you said you had some champagne.

Luna: Yeah, like a little. Like, I don’t know, one or two glasses.

Poppy: And not much to eat.

Luna: Barely. But that’s not it. That doesn’t explain anything. I don’t understand. Why did this happen, mom? Why? A mystery!

Eric: Don’t be discouraged, you know. She’s out there. That girl’s out there for you right now.

Zende: I believe that.

Eric: I’ve been very lucky in my life to have… I’ve had some wonderful women to share my life with. The amazing stephanie, you know. And now– and now this beautiful young wife, donna. It feels kind of really fun for me to say that again. My wife.

Zende: Marriage really suits you, granddad. I haven’t seen you smile this much in a long time.

Eric: That’s right. I mean, look at this. I have this career. I have– I have everything I need in this life. And then, to have this wonderful, wonderful, beautiful, lovely wife. It’s just icing on the cake.

Zende: I bet.

Eric: You’ll find her, zende, you will. And when you do, I know you. You’ll treat her with– with love and kindness and respect. Because that’s who you are. You’ll make her very happy.

Rj: I know I make luna happy, mom. I just want to protect her from all the drama.

Brooke: Our family? Drama?

Rj: Yeah. It’s shocking. It’s like we attract it. Like it’s in our blood. It’s really fun.

Brooke: Well, you are half logan and half forrester.

Rj: Yes, correct. I come from two lines of constant public scandal. It’s great. I would just– I would just like to personally, I’d just like to tone it down a little bit. That’s all.

Brooke: Okay, okay. I can understand you wanting to avoid the turmoil that your father and I have lived through, but I don’t think you and luna are gonna make the same mistakes.

Rj: I just– I’ve never had a connection with a woman like this before. Ever. I mean, I– I just trust her. Completely.

Brooke: I am so happy for you, sweetheart. I really am.

Luna: It was rj’s face, mom. I swear, I saw his face. He was there. And I thought that he was the one that was in bed with me and that’s why I did what I did. I mean, only with rj. He’s the guy that I love.

Poppy: I know, baby.

Luna: I mean, how could i do this? I– there’s no explanation. It– it doesn’t make any sense. No one at the forrester estate would drug me. That’s– that’s impossible. They would never do anything to hurt me, so… so what could it be?

Poppy: Do you remember earlier when you said you had some mints?

Luna: Yeah, I always do.

Poppy: Oh, my god! No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Luna: What– what are you freaking out about?

Poppy: I messed up so bad, sweetie, and I’m so sorry.

Luna: For what?

Poppy: These are my mints. And I couldn’t find them.

Luna: Mom, I don’t care about your stupid mints. What does this have to do with me?

Poppy: Everything. You know how I get anxious sometimes? And some people, they have a glass of wine, to unwind, or a cocktail, but I don’t drink. So, I found something that works for me. And– and I thought they were harmless. Until now, until this very moment. Somehow, you accidentally got my mints. They’re not regular mints, sweetheart.

Luna: What?

Poppy: It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. I am so sorry. I am so incredibly sorry.

Luna: Mom, what are you saying right now? What are you telling me? That me waking up in zende’s bed this morning was because of you and your mints? Oh, my god! Oh, my god! I got drugged by my own mother?

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

[suspenseful music]

There you are.

You’re still up.

Obviously. I was starting to get worried about you. You were gone for such a long time. There were all these sirens. I’m sure you must have heard them.

Yeah, I did. I have no idea what that was all about.


 

[clears throat] Thank you for the clothes, Maggie.

Oh, um, Victor would be glad that they’ve come in handy. I know I should have donated them. I just can’t seem to bring myself to do that. Julie, can I get you anything? Something to drink maybe?

No, no. Thank you.

[tense music]

Where’s Doug?

Upstairs with the kids. They finally fell asleep. He doesn’t want to leave their side.

God bless him.

They were so scared. I mean, we all were.

I can’t even imagine. Oh, Chad, how absolutely terrifying.

It was. I, um– I’m not sure I’ve really been able to process any of it yet. Julie was so brave.

And she always is. And I know you were too, as you always are. Julie, it’s all right now. You and Chad and the kids, you’re all OK. Thank God. And that’s all that matters.

It is. It is. I know it is. The house is on fire, our home, but just a house, just a material thing. Your home is really your family. The people that you love is your home, isn’t that right?

Definitely.

I just don’t understand why it happened.

I know why. It was my fault, all my fault.

[phone ringing]

 

[sighs] It’s all hands on deck tonight, huh?

Yeah, the commish issued a tac alert, so we are out in full force since they targeted one of our own.

Any news on Harris?

No, not yet.

All right, where are we? I want updates on anything that we have on this shooting.

OK, we’re currently canvassing. We got police force everywhere. And we’re pulling some security footage, as well as interviewing witnesses who claim they heard gunshots.

What about his phone?

We’re trying to locate that now. How is he?

Alive, but it’s touch and go.

OK.

What about the pub?

Actually, I just got back. Everyone’s fine. But I’ll fill you in on that later.

OK. I’ve got Phillips at the hospital, giving me updates on Harris. I figured I could be more useful here.

Many of us in blue not on the streets are donating down at the blood bank.

That’s right. We always show up for each other in time of need.

Amen.

Oh, Wendy. Thanks for coming in.

Yeah, no problem. How can I help?

We’re gonna need you to scrub traffic cam footage.

Yeah, sure. But, uh, can I talk to you two first in private?

[suspenseful music]


You hanging in?

Just barely. You know, I don’t always have the greatest memory. But I remember every single word that Harris ever said to me. And I keep hearing those words in my head over and over again.

You really love him, don’t you?

I never told him. What if I never get the chance to?

Let’s start another line and run the fluids right through it, wide open.

His pulse is weak. Breathing is shallow.

He’s lost a lot of blood. We need at least three units for surgery. Let’s make it five. Stay with us, Harris. Come on now. Stay with us.

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”


Yeah, I mean, I was just really in the zone tonight. I ran about two miles more than I usually do. There’s sirens all over town. I guess Everett will fill me in on it in the morning.

I mean, we could stay up late and watch the news, then maybe have a drink.

I mean, that does sound really tempting, but I’m just– I really am beat. And I need a shower more than anything. And why don’t you just tell me when Victoria’s up and I’ll take the first shift, yeah? Just have a good night, Sarah.

[somber music]


How could this have been your fault, Chad? I don’t understand.

Uh… I got a phone call after we got outside and we were across the street, when we were safe. And it was from an unknown number, and the voice was distorted. It was disguised. And they said that, “Maybe next time, you’ll listen.”

What?

I, um– I think it was a payback for a story that we ran in “The Spectator” about the drug ring. +Clyde told me that if I published it, I’d be sorry.

And you ignored that? You didn’t take it seriously, a threat from– from Clyde Weston, the man that killed your wife? Why did you go ahead and print the story, Chad?

[phone ringing]

So, Wendy, what’s up?

Yeah, did you see something tonight?

No, not tonight. Look, I don’t like being a snitch. But what happened to Harris– I think I probably should have told you this sooner.

It’s OK. Just say it.

The other night, Ava pretty much admitted to me and Tripp that something was going on at the bistro, something that could get her into trouble. And she said she didn’t want us involved. She didn’t want us to be in danger too.

What kind of danger? Did she say?

No, she didn’t, but it sounded pretty serious. And she also made a big point of saying that she couldn’t trust the cops.

Did she say why?

No, something about the cops can be more corrupt than the mob based on her experience.

Did you observe any unusual behavior from Ava’s part?

Well, she’s obsessed with wanting Tripp and me to get out of town. It’s like if she can get us to leave, then we won’t be around for whatever danger is out there. And I don’t know the details, but I think Stefan is involved somehow.

OK. OK, good, good, good, good. Wendy, thank you. Thank you for this tip. Now, I would really appreciate it if you could be the ears and eyes around Ava? Yeah?

I don’t know. That’s a little weird, the idea of spying on my boyfriend’s mother.

Wendy, look, I understand. I do. But this could really help out our investigation. And I don’t have to tell you this, but there’s some real serious business going down right now.

OK. I’ll do it.

All right, good. Now, this stays between us, you got it? No one else will know that you’re giving us intel or what that intel is.

You can’t tell anyone, Wendy, not even Tripp.

Especially not Tripp.

Yeah.

[door opening]

Sorry to interrupt. I’ve got something you’re gonna want to see right away.

Harris is gonna be OK. You got to think positive. Hey, look at me. The guy’s a tank. OK, he was a freaking Navy SEAL, for god’s sake. I mean, I’m pretty sure he’s been through crap five times worse than this. He’s gonna make it. I got to ask you though, if you love the guy so much, why’d you get down and dirty with me?

[suspenseful music]


What? What the hell is wrong with you?

Lots of things.

Yeah, lots of things. What? We discussed this. And we both agreed that it was a huge mistake, OK? But you know, since you can’t seem to let it go, why the hell did you get down and dirty with me when apparently you love Gabi so much, huh? You know what? Don’t. Don’t even answer it. Because you know what? It never happened.

You’re right. It never happened.

No.

I’m sorry I brought it up.

What is it? What’s wrong? Is Harris gonna be OK?

Chad, I know you couldn’t have imagined somebody was GONNA set the house on fire, but why didn’t you tell us about the call, warn us about this threat of Clyde’s?

I know. I-I wish– I wish I would have. It’s–it’s my fault.

No, it’s not your fault, Chad.

No, it is.

It’s the act of a wicked, ungodly man.

No. I-I should have taken this threat seriously because I know what that man is capable of. I’m sorry. I didn’t–I’m sorry.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m overwhelmed. Obviously, I’m overwhelmed. The house is burned, the legacy of Tom and Alice. But I shouldn’t lash out at you. You’re not to blame. You’re not to blame in any way.

It’s OK.

No, it’s not OK. It’s not OK. I’m sorry. The person to blame is Clyde. My God, how this must hurt you, the man that took Abigail away from you, away from all of us.

That’s why I published the story in the first place. I wanted to– I needed to bring him down, and I wanted to make him pay so badly for what he did to my Abby and to my kids, and for leaving them without a mother.

Of course. Of course. But darling, tell me. That threat, that voice on the phone, are you sure that was Clyde’s voice?

I can’t be sure, but who else would it be?

So you didn’t recognize the voice?

No, it was distorted, like I said, and the number was blocked. You know, but there might be a way to unblock it.

Well, with the technology they have nowadays, investigators can find out a lot of things.

So you didn’t tell the police about the call?

Not yet, no. I’m gonna go to the station right now, and I’ll give them my phone and see if there’s anything that they can do.

Yes, please.

Yeah.

One of the unis found it tossed in a dumpster near the bistro.

Could be the break we need.

OK, Wendy. This phone is now your priority one.

Got it. I’ll get it printed and run the numbers on the phone.

Yep, let me know what you find, even if it’s a dead end.

On it.

All right.

 

[clears throat] Anything else you need from me, Commissioner?

That’s it, Goldman. Just shut the door behind you, please. OK. So I don’t know what is up with Ava, but we need to have a chat with her.

Yeah, she definitely knows more than what she’s saying.

Oh, yeah. Also, get me up to speed on the pub.

Oh. You are not going to believe this, Commissioner.

[suspenseful music]

We’ve been giving Harris transfusions to replace the blood that he lost. But now he is stable enough for surgery.

Oh, thank God.

Our biggest concern right now is internal bleeding. But he could also have bullet fragmentation that could have caused damage to other areas. So our plan right now is to go in, remove the bullet, and check for multi-organ system dysfunction. Do you know, is there anybody in the family that I should notify?

Not that I know of.

It’s all right. It’s OK. We will contact the PD. They keep an emergency contact list for all their officers in case anything happens in the line of duty.

Kayla, is he gonna be OK?

Like I said, he lost a lot of blood. We’ll know more when we get into surgery. But I can tell you we will do everything we can.

[somber guitar music]


 

[sighs]

[suspenseful music]


Sarah.

[sultry music]


I thought we were taking things slow.

We can take things as slow as you want. The slower, the better.


God, Maggie. Somebody, somebody set fire to the house with us in it, with the precious children in it.

Well, there’ll be a reckoning for the evil that is Clyde Weston.

Reckoning? Reckoning schmeckoning. The house was on fire. We’ve lost the family history– the pictures, the scrapbooks, my grandmother’s–

[somber piano music] The Christmas ornaments. Oh, God. What would my grandparents say?

They’d say, thank God you all got out safe and unharmed. And just what you said earlier, home isn’t material possessions. It’s family and the people you love.

Yes. That is what they’d say.

Yeah. Yeah, that’s what they’d say.

Harris has experienced significant trauma. But he’s strong, and he’s in excellent shape, so he will do better than most. And you found him and got him help before it was too late. So because of you, he actually has a fighting chance.

[phone beeps] Excuse me. They are taking him to the OR now. I’ll be in touch.

[dramatic music]

Ava, please. I can protect you.

No, you can’t.

I can. I can. And I will. Because I love you. I think maybe you already knew, but I love you.

You’ve got to make it, my love. You’ve just got to.

Yeah. Harris has been keeping Lucas Horton in his room at the pub.

Yeah. Talk about going above and beyond. That’s my partner.

Yeah. And the best thing that we can do for him is to go full throttle on this investigation and nail every bastard that’s involved. But damn it, I am telling you, Clyde Weston is pulling strings from the inside.

Yeah, but how do we prove that?

Well, we find out who his new puppet master is and the foot soldiers that he has on the outside, and then we flip them.

Let’s hope the phone gives us something.

Yeah, or forensics finds something at the pub.

Speaking of, I’ve got police presence there all night processing the scene. So Lucas is safe for now, but we got to find him a new safe house.

Yeah, the question is, how the hell did they find this one? And he guns down a cop? It’s like Weston is waging a war on Salem tonight.

[knocking] Yeah?

Chad DiMera is here, Commissioner. He insists on speaking to you.

All right, well, send him in.

[tense music]

Thanks. Busy out there.

What’s up, Chad?

I’m not sure if you heard, but there was a fire tonight at the Horton house.

Oh my God. Is everyone OK?

Yeah. We’re good.

OK, so everyone got out, Doug and Julie and your kids?

We all got out, but the house is gone. It’s destroyed.

Oh, my God. I’m so sorry, man. I mean, honestly, we’ve been so busy here, I didn’t even hear about it. Do you know what the cause was?

Yeah, I do. Arson. I think it was Clyde Weston.


So tell me again what this guy said.

His exact words were, “Maybe next time, you’ll listen.”

And why do you think it was Clyde Weston?

Well, it was either him or somebody who works for him. Clyde threatened me and my editor in chief today at the prison when we saw him. We told him we were going to write the article on the opioid crisis and that we were going to name him as the suspected drug lord. He didn’t want it to see the light of day. And it did, obviously, as you know. So I think this was revenge for us outing him.

And killing his profits.

Right.

So Clyde Weston is on the warpath. And if he is responsible for this fire, then, well, that makes three incidents tonight.

What do you mean three? What else happened?

Well, I cannot discuss other incidents, Chad, but I’m just glad that you and your family are unharmed. And I am interested in seeing that arson report, so I’ll have the fire department send it over ASAP.

I need you to tell me you’re going to get this guy, Rafe. He killed Abigail, and then he burned down her family house while he was in prison for her murder. I need you to tell me that.

We’re gonna get this guy. We are gonna get him. Every man and woman in this department wants to bring him down.

If you could leave your phone here, we’re gonna need to hold on to it. I’ll have tech look it over.

No problem. Anything you need. Um… You need to nail that son of a bitch, yeah?

 

[groans] This is taking forever.

Let me get you something to eat.

I can’t. I can’t keep this up. I can’t, Stefan, not after tonight. Come on. Come on. We got to end this. You see that. You know that. I mean, come on. You got to realize we can’t keep this going.

Ava, we have no choice. We cannot betray Clyde. You’ve seen what happens.

I swear to God. I swear to God, if Harris dies, I’m gonna go after Clyde Weston myself. And screw whatever happens because the son of a bitch is not gonna know what hit him.

Oh, come on.

Come on, what?

Are you–will you waltz into Statesville and stab him with a spork in the visiting room?

Oh, don’t you insult me.

Let it go.

Oh, OK. OK. So we’re just supposed to let him hurt the people that we love, and there’s nothing that we can do about it?

That’s right. There is nothing we can do about it, unless you want him to kill the people we love the most.

[romantic music]


I love you. I never stopped.

I love you. I never stopped.


Three targets in one night. Clyde Weston apparently had this whole thing planned and executed simultaneously.

Yeah, from the confines of his cell while his goons are out there knocking off his enemies.

Not just his enemies, Rafe. There were kids in that house, an elderly couple. Clyde doesn’t give a damn who gets caught in the crossfire.

[sighs]

How does he know so much? How? OK, look, it’s one thing to know where Chad lives or where Harris is gonna be at any given time of day. But to know that Lucas was hiding out? This mole, this mole runs deep.

Sorry, I should have knocked, but I couldn’t wait. You won’t believe it. I got a hit off the burner phone found at the bistro. I started cross-checking phone numbers. Take a look.

[dramatic music]


Son of a bitch.


[phone ringing]

We got him now.

Tonight’s the night.

Yes.

I got the warrant!

Yes!

 

[clears throat]

You all right?

Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine. Just overdid it at the gym.

OK.

All right, everybody. You know the drill. Let’s do this.


The kids are still asleep, and Doug is sacked up next to them in the chair. I wasn’t sure if I should wake him up and get him to his own room or not.

I’ll rouse him when I go up.

So how did it go at the police station?

Told them everything. And they took my phone. So I hope it helped.

Oh, God. I hope so.

Chad, is there any chance we’re all still in danger?

[suspenseful music]

I don’t think so. I think Clyde made his point. But Rafe said he was gonna put a car outside for the night just to be safe.

How reassuring.

[sighs] So I guess all we have to think about is where we’re gonna live now.


How is he? Oh, my God, is he alive?

He made it through the surgery.

Oh, thank God. Did you remove the bullet?

Yes, but the bullet wasn’t our only concern. He had a collapsed lung, and the internal bleeding was significant.

So what happens now?

Now we monitor him closely, and we wait.

How long before we know if he’ll make it?

Well, there are no guarantees, but I would say hours.

[somber music]


 

[chuckles]

 

[exhales] You know, it wasn’t long ago I just thought we’d never be together again. But now you’re back in my arms.

Mm-hmm. Finally.

Finally.

 

[laughs]

[soft music]


I missed you. I missed you so much.

Same here. And while we were apart, there wasn’t a day that went by that I didn’t think about you, wonder how you were doing, wonder if you were thinking about me.

I was. Even when I was so angry and I wanted to move on, there was just this… this longing for you. It just–it never went away. And I would fantasize about moments like this.

I fantasized about moments like this too and the moments right before this.

Those were good moments.

[laughs] And when you went out, I just– I couldn’t wait for you to get back. I was just hoping that something like this might happen.

I’m just sorry I was gone so long.

You should be. Although when you went for the jog, you left your phone. And I wasn’t snooping–that does feel important to say– but it was impossible to not notice a text that came through that just said, “Is it done?”

Is it done?

Yeah. It’s weird, right? Do you know what that means?

I have no idea.

Police! Search warrant. We’re coming in.

[dramatic music]

[door crashing, clattering]


There’s nothing to figure out, Julie. You will all live right here– you, Doug, Chad, and your wonderful children.

No, Maggie. We can’t possibly impose on you. You’ve got a house full of people living here already.

It’s a mansion, empty bedrooms galore. And there’s still plenty of room.

Aunt Maggie, you don’t have to do that.

I won’t take no for an answer, end of discussion. Now, you both go upstairs and get some rest. There’s nothing more you can do tonight. Tomorrow is another day.

All right. Get up in the morning, put one foot in front of the other.

Mm-hmm. And you, you will rebuild brick by brick. And… you will have everyone around you who love you every step of the way.

 

[sighs]

Can I see him?

Like I said, he’s in recovery.

Look, Doc, she’s been waiting here for hours. And for what it’s worth, I’m pretty sure that he’d want her in that room beside him.

Which brings me to something that I wanted to mention to Ava. So, Stefan, would you mind just giving us a minute?

No problem.

So one of my nurses got in touch with the Salem Police Department to get Harris’ emergency contact information. Were you aware that he listed you as the person to be notified in case of his injury or death?

No, I did not know that.

Well, clearly you mean a lot to him.

Thank you for telling me that. And, Kayla, please, I really want to see him. I need to tell him something.

All right. Just for a few minutes, all right?

Yeah.

[somber music]


[machine beeping steadily]


Harris. Hey, it’s me. I am so sorry that this happened to you. I never should have gotten involved with Clyde Weston. I should have found a way out. You were just trying to protect me. I should be the one lying in this bed, not you.

[sighs] Hey. You know, there’s something really important that I want to tell you. I love you. I think maybe you already knew. But I really wished I had told you and said it back to you at the police station. OK, you listen to me. All right, you listen to me. I need you to fight. I need you to fight really hard so you can come back to me. Please. Please come back to me.


[sobs]

Hands up!

What’s going on?

Let’s go.

What are you doing? There’s a baby in the other room.

Sarah, stay back.

On the ground. Hands behind your back.

[baby crying]

Update written by Joseph

Xander returns home from his run to find Sarah waiting on the couch. Xander is surprised she’s still up. Sarah responds that she was starting to get worried as he was gone for such a long time. Sarah adds that she was hearing all the sirens and guesses he did too. Xander states that he had no idea what that was all about.

Chad and Julie go to the Kiriakis Mansion. Chad thanks Maggie for giving them clothes. Maggie says Victor would be glad they went to use as she’s never gotten around to donating them. Maggie asks where Doug is. Chad responds that he’s upstairs with the kids as they finally fell asleep and he didn’t want to leave their side. Chad says the kids were so scared as they all were. Maggie can’t imagine and calls it terrifying. Chad isn’t sure he’s been able to process it yet but calls Julie so brave. Maggie knows they both always are. Maggie tries to comfort Julie and says they are all okay which is all that matters. Julie agrees and acknowledges that the house is just a material thing while family is home. Julie just doesn’t understand why it happened. Chad responds that he knows why and declares that it was his fault.

At the police station, Jada talks with Officer Goldman about it being all hands on deck and not having any updates on Harris yet. Rafe joins them and asks for any updates on the shooting. Jada says they are interviewing witnesses and trying to locate Harris’ phone. Jada asks how Harris is doing. Rafe responds that he’s alive but it’s touch and go. Rafe asks about the Pub. Jada says she just got back from there and everyone’s fine, but she’ll fill him in on that later. Rafe says he figured he could be more useful here. Officer Goldman comments on cops being at the hospital donating blood. Rafe talks about how they always come together in times of need. Wendy arrives and asks how she can help. Jada says they will need her to bring up traffic camera footage. Wendy agrees to but asks if she can talk to them in private first.

Stefan joins Ava in a hospital waiting room and asks if she’s hanging in. Ava says she is just barely. Ava remarks that she doesn’t always have the greatest memory, but she remembers every single word that Harris ever said to her and she keeps hearing those words in her head over and over again. Stefan asks if Ava really loves him. Ava responds that she never told him and worries that she’ll never get the chance to.

Kayla works on Harris in the emergency room and says they need at least five units of blood for surgery as she urges him to stay with them.

Xander tells Sarah that he was really in the zone and ran about two miles more than he usually does, but there’s sirens all over town. Xander guesses he’ll be filled in on it in the morning. Sarah suggests they could stay up late, watch the news, and have a drink.. Xander says it sounds tempting but he’s beat and needs a shower. Xander says she can tell him when Victoria is up and tells Sarah to have a goodnight as he heads to the bathroom.

Maggie asks how this could have been Chad’s fault as she doesn’t understand. Chad reveals that he got a phone call after they got outside and were across the street, from an unknown number with a distorted voice that said “maybe next time, you’ll listen”. Chad thinks it was payback for a story they ran in the Spectator about the drug ring because Clyde said he would be sorry. Julie is shocked and questions Chad ignoring that and not taking it seriously. Julie asks why Chad printed the story.

Wendy goes in to the interrogation room with Rafe and Jada. They ask if she saw something tonight. Wendy says not tonight and she doesn’t like being a snitch but she probably should’ve told them this earlier. Wendy informs them that the other night, Ava pretty much admitted to her and Tripp that something was going on at the Bistro that could get her in trouble and she didn’t want her and Tripp involved because of the danger. Rafe asks if Ava said what kind of danger. Wendy admits that she didn’t but it sounded pretty serious. Wendy adds that Ava made a big point of saying she can’t trust the cops. Jada asks if she said why. Wendy responds that Ava said something about how the cops can be more corrupt than the mob in her experience. Jada asks if Wendy noticed any odd behavior from Ava lately. Wendy notes that Ava has been obsessed with wanting her and Tripp to get out of town as if it’s so they won’t be around for whatever danger is out there. Wendy adds that she doesn’t know the details, but she thinks Stefan is involved somehow. Rafe thanks Wendy for the tip and says he’d appreciate her being the ears and eyes around Ava. Wendy calls the idea of spying on her boyfriend’s mother weird. Jada says she gets it but it could really help their investigation and something really serious is going down right now, so Wendy agrees to do it. Rafe assures this stays between them and no one else will know that she’s giving them intel. Jada adds that he can’t tell anyone, especially not Tripp. Officer Goldman enters and announces she has something they are going to want to see right away.

Stefan encourages Ava that Harris will be okay and she has to think positive. Stefan brings up Harris being a Navy SEAL and being through worse than this, so he’s going to make it. Stefan then asks Ava why she got down and dirty with him, if she loves Harris so much. Ava asks what the hell is wrong with him, reminding him that they both agreed that it was a huge mistake. Ava then asks why Stefan got down and dirty with her when he apparently loves Gabi so much. Ava then tells him not to answer because it never happened. Stefan agrees and apologizes for bringing it up. Kayla comes in, so Ava asks what’s wrong and if Harris is going to be okay.

Julie knows Chad couldn’t imagine someone would set the house on fire, but questions why he didn’t tell them about the call or warn them about the threat from Clyde. Chad wishes he would have and blames himself. Maggie insists it’s not his fault but Chad says he should’ve taken Clyde’s threat seriously because he knows what he’s capable of. Chad apologizes. Julie says she’s overwhelmed but she shouldn’t lash out at him, assuring that Chad is not to blame in any way. Julie apologizes and says the person to blame is Clyde. Chad says he published the story because he needed to bring Clyde down and he wanted to make him pay so badly for what he did to Abigail and leaving his kids without a mother. Julie asks if Chad is sure the voice on the phone was Clyde’s. Chad admits he can’t be sure, but asks who else it could be. Chad says the voice was distorted and the number was blocked, but there might be a way to unblock it. Chad adds that he hasn’t told the police about the call yet, but he’ll go to the station now to give them his phone and see if there’s anything they can do.

Officer Goldman presents a phone found near the dumpster at the scene. Rafe gives it to Wendy and says the phone is now her priority. Wendy agrees to run the numbers and see what she can find. Rafe tells her to let him know, even if it’s a dead end. Wendy then exits and Officer Goldman follows out. Rafe tells Jada that he doesn’t know what’s up with Ava, but they need to have a chat with her. Jada agrees that Ava knows more than what she’s saying. Rafe then asks Jada to get him up to speed on the Pub. Jada responds that he’s not going to believe this.

Kayla informs Ava and Stefan that they’ve been giving Harris blood transfusions and he is now stable enough for surgery which relieves Ava. Kayla adds that their biggest concern right now is internal bleeding, but he could also have bullet fragments that could cause damage to other areas. Kayla says they plan to remove the bullet and check multiple organs. Kayla asks if Harris has any family to notify. Ava says not that she knows of. Kayla says they will check with the police department for his emergency contacts. Ava asks if Harris is going to be okay. Kayla repeats that he lost a lot of blood and they’ll know more after surgery but assures that they will do everything they can.

Xander takes a shower until Sarah comes in to join him. Xander thought they were taking things slow as they start kissing.

Julie complains to Maggie that somebody set fire to the house with them in it. Maggie says there will be a reckoning for the evil that is Clyde. Julie cries that they’ve lost the family history, the scrapbooks, and the Horton family Christmas ornaments. Maggie thanks God that they got out safe and reminds her that home is not material possessions but family and the people you love. Julie agrees that’s what Tom and Alice would say as Maggie hugs her.

Kayla tells Ava and Stefan that Harris has experienced trauma but he is strong and in great shape so he has a better chance than most. Kayla adds that Ava found him and got him help before it was too late, so because of her, he actually has a better chance. Kayla says they are taking Harris to the operating room now, so she’ll be in touch. Kayla then exits the room. Ava thinks back to Harris telling her that he loves her. Ava says to herself that Harris has to make it.

Rafe and Jada discuss Harris keeping Lucas safe in his room. Jada says that’s her partner, always going above and beyond. Rafe says the best they can do for him, is to go above on this investigation and nail every bastard involved but Clyde is pulling strings from the inside. Jada questions how they prove that. Rafe says they have to find out who his new puppet master is and his soldiers on the outside and then flip them. Jada and Rafe hope the phone gives them something or forensics finds something at the Pub. Jada adds that she has police at the Pub all night on the scene, so Lucas is safe for now, but they have to find him a new safehouse. Rafe says the question is how the hell they found Lucas and declares that it’s like Clyde was waging a war on Salem tonight. Officer Goldman returns and informs them that Chad is there and insists on speaking to Rafe, so Rafe brings him in. Chad comments on it being busy out there. Rafe asks him what’s up. Chad informs them of the fire at the Horton house tonight. Jada asks if everyone is okay. Chad says they are good. Rafe asks if everyone got out. Chad confirms they did but the house is gone and destroyed. Rafe tells Chad that he’s so sorry and that they’ve been so busy that he didn’t even hear about it. Rafe asks if he knows what the cause was. Chad responds that it was arson and he thinks it was Clyde Weston. Chad tells them about the phone call saying “maybe next time, you’ll listen.” Jada asks why he thinks it was Clyde. Chad says it was either Clyde or someone who works for him, explaining that Clyde threatened he and Everett when they saw him at the prison earlier and told him they were going to write the article on the drug crisis, naming him as the suspected drug lord. Chad says Clyde didn’t want it to see the light of day and it did, so he thinks this was revenge for outing him and killing his profits. Rafe guesses that Clyde is on the warpath and if he is responsible for this fire, that makes three incidents tonight. Chad asks what else happened. Rafe says he can’t discuss other incidents but he’s glad Chad and his family are safe. Rafe adds that he’s interested in seeing the arson report and will have it sent over as soon as possible. Chad states that he needs Rafe to tell him he’s going to get this guy. Chad brings up that Clyde killed Abigail and then burned down their family house while in prison for her murder. Rafe assures that they are going to get Clyde as everyone in the department wants to bring him down. Jada asks Chad to leave his phone so they can have tech look it over which Chad agrees to.

Ava complains that things are taking forever. Stefan offers to get her something to eat but Ava says she can’t keep this up after tonight. Ava argues that they have to end this and they can’t keep this going. Stefan argues that they have no choice as they cannot betray Clyde since they’ve seen what happens. Ava swears that if Harris dies, she will go after Clyde herself no matter what happens. Stefan asks if she’s just going to walk in to prison and stab him with a spork. Ava tells him not to insult her. Stefan urges her to let it go. Ava asks if they are supposed to just let Clyde hurt the people they love. Stefan says there is nothing they can do about it unless she wants him to kill the people they love the most.

Xander and Sarah continue kissing into the bedroom. Sarah tells Xander that she loves him and she never stopped. Xander responds that he loves her and never stopped as they kiss onto the bed.

Jada comments to Rafe on there being three targets in one night and guesses Clyde has this whole thing planned and executed. Rafe points out that Clyde is in his cell while his goons are out there knocking off his enemies. Jada worries that there were kids along with Doug and Julie, so Clyde doesn’t care who gets caught in it. Rafe questions how Clyde can know so much, noting that it’s one thing to know where Chad lives or where Harris was going to be, but not to know where Lucas was hiding out. Rafe worries that the mole runs deep. Wendy rushes in and says they won’t believe it but she got a hit off the phone and shows them the papers, shocking Rafe and Jada. Rafe and Jada exit the interrogation room, declaring they’ve got him now. Officer Goldman comes in and announces she’s got the warrant. She shows signs of arm pain so Jada asks if she’s alright but she says she just overdid it at the gym. Rafe announces that everyone knows the drill so it’s time to do this as they exit the station.

Chad returns to the Kiriakis Mansion and tells Maggie and Julie that the kids are still asleep and Doug is with them. Maggie asks how it went at the police station. Chad says he told them everything and they took his phone, so he hopes he helped. Julie asks if there is any chance that they are all still in danger. Chad doesn’t think so as Clyde made his point but Rafe said he would put a car outside just to be safe. Julie guesses all they have to think about is where they are going to live now.

Kayla returns to Ava and Stefan to inform them that Harris made it through surgery and they removed the bullet, but Harris had a collapsed lung and significant internal bleeding. Ava asks what happens now. Kayla says they will monitor him closely and wait. Stefan asks how long before they know if he will make it. Kayla says there are no guarantees but gives it 24 hours.

Xander and Sarah lay in bed together after having sex. Xander says not long ago, he thought they would never be together again and now she’s back in his arms as they kiss. Sarah tells Xander that she missed him so much. Xander says while they were apart, there wasn’t a day where he didn’t think about her and if she was thinking about him. Sarah confirms that she was, even when she was so angry and wanted to move on, her longing for him never went away. Sarah says she would fantasize about moments like this. Sarah says when Xander went out, she couldn’t wait for him to get back as she was hoping something like this might happen. Xander says he was just sorry he was gone so long. Sarah notes that Xander did leave his phone and she wasn’t snooping, but it was impossible to not notice a text that came through that just said “is it done?” Sarah asks if he knows what that means. Xander claims to have no idea but then they hear the police burst in, announcing they have a search warrant.

Maggie tells Julie that there is nothing to figure out as they will all live here in the Kiriakis Mansion. Julie says they can’t possibly impose when she already has a house full of people. Maggie points out that it’s a mansion with empty bedrooms. Chad says she doesn’t have to do that but Maggie says she won’t take no for an answer. Maggie instructs Julie and Chad to go upstairs and get some rest as there is nothing more they can do tonight and tomorrow is another day. Julie agrees as Maggie encourages that she will rebuild and she’ll have everyone around her who loves her, every step of the way.

Ava asks Kayla if she can see Harris. Kayla repeats that he’s in recovery. Stefan points out that Ava has been waiting for hours and he’s pretty sure Harris would want her in the room beside him. Kayla says that brings her to something that she wanted to mention to Ava, so she asks Stefan to give them a minute. Stefan steps out. Kayla then informs Ava that one of the nurses got in contact with the police department and asks if Ava was aware that Harris listed her as his emergency contact. Ava confirms she did not know that. Kayla says she clearly means a lot to him. Ava thanks her and adds that she really wants to see Harris as she needs to tell him something. Kayla allows her to for just a few minutes so Ava heads to Harris’s hospital room.

Ava enters the room and begins talking to Harris as he lays unconscious. Ava states that she’s so sorry this happened to him and that she never should’ve gotten involved with Clyde Weston. Ava says she should’ve found a way out. Ava adds that Harris was just trying to protect her, so she should be the one in the bed instead of him. Ava says there’s something really important that she wants to tell him. Ava then tells Harris that she loves him and she really wishes she told him and said it back to him at the police station. Ava cries that she needs him to fight really hard. Stefan walks by and listens from the doorway as the cop nearby watches on. Ava pleads with Harris to come back to her.

Rafe, Jada and the cops burst in to the bedroom as Sarah shouts that there’s a baby in the other room. They order Xander to put his hands behind his back as they arrest him.

Interview with Sara Tomko, Alice Wetterlund, Corey Reynolds, Levi Fiehler and Meredith Garretson of “Resident Alien” on Syfy by Suzanne 2/6/24

It’s always wonderful to speak this cast. I love everything about this show, especially the actors and the writers. It’s been great to speak with them the last few years. Unfortunately, I didn’t get an opportunity to speak with Alan Tudyk this time, but it’s fine. I’ve spoken to him several times before.  All of the actors are very kind and enjoy talking about their characters and the show. I know you’ll enjoy this upcoming season 3 as much as I have, and these videos. I can’t wait for you to see them!

I was originally paired with another reporter, Allison Hazzlett-Rose, but she had technical problems. I haven’t edited these videos, so you will hear me just chatting with the actors at the beginning, before we get to the actual questions. It was a lot of fun to have these 10 minutes.

Originally, I was supposed to speak to Elizabeth Bowen (“Deputy Liv Baker”) and Reynolds, but Elizabeth couldn’t make it. Allison was still having technical problems. This meant I had the full 10 minutes with him. It was pure joy, I admit.

Finally, Allison was able to be included in our chat with Sara and Alice. It was an awesome conversation. Both women are so entertaining and love to talk. We had 11 minutes, and the moderator had to cut off the actors because they were running out of time.

Update written by Joseph

Someone in a black mask sneaks in to the Horton house.

Paulina is watching TV at home until Chanel shows up at the door with three large bags. Chanel tells Paulina that she brought all her favorites because they are about to have a mother-daughter night that she will never forget. Paulina reminds Chanel that her surgery is in the morning and she’s not really in the mood. Chanel responds that they will just have to get her in the mood as she shows that she got her favorite nail polish, a puzzle, a deck of card, and her favorite junk foods. Chanel presents her with a pair of slippers and calls it girls night.

Jada brings Rafe food and coffee in his office, noting that he’s been busy. Rafe talks about the endless paperwork of an officer-involved shooting. Jada asks how Officer Goldman is doing. Rafe says she’s okay and that he sent her home after her meeting. Rafe says on a positive note, they got a lot of product off the street and were a major thorn in Clyde’s side, so all in all it’s a good day.

Someone enters the door to Harris’s room above the Pub and fires shots with a gun. Kate fires back, wounding the person as they run away. Kate then calls back inside to Lucas, asking if he’s alright.

The masked invader pours gasoline all over the living room of the Horton house, then lights a match and sets the house on fire! The fire alarms go off as Chad and Julie come downstairs to find the house on fire.

At the Bistro, Stefan comes over to Tripp, Wendy, and Ava’s table. Tripp jokes that it’s nice to see Stefan fully clothed. Stefan tells him to forget what he saw. Tripp calls it hard to forget. Ava reminds him that they are respecting boundaries and they are never to talk about that moment again. Ava then goes to step outside to get some fresh air.

Ava goes out to the docks and finds Harris on the ground, bleeding from being shot. Ava rushes to him and checks on him as she begins to panic.

Paulina tells Chanel that she really appreciates this, but questions her being up for a night of fun and games when she’s supposed to be getting married today. They talk about what movie to watch and decide on Bad Boys. Paulina then gets a call from prison and it’s Lani.

Rafe and Jada go over paperwork. Rafe notes that they should have the results of the drug dealer’s autopsy tomorrow morning which will confirm if he fired his weapon and if he had any opioids in his system. Rafe asks about Harris, noting he still doesn’t have his report yet and asks if he’s around.

Ava tries to keep Harris awake, as he flashes back to being shot and Ava pulls out her phone.

Stefan tells Tripp that it’s nobody’s business, so he asks him not to say a word to anyone about what he saw at his place. Tripp assures that he promised Ava that they would respect her boundaries. Tripp then gets a call from Ava, who tells him to get to the loading dock right now as Harris has been shot.

Kate and Lucas check on each other but neither of them were shot as they hug. Roman runs in and asks if they are okay as heard shots from outside. Kate assures they are fine and that she shot whoever it was. Roman orders them to stay there and on the floor as he heads back out.

Chad orders Julie to get Doug and the kids to get out safe while he calls 911. Chad goes to find the fire extinguisher.

Chanel talks to Lani on the phone and promises to text Eli updates as soon as she gets them. Chanel gives the phone back to Paulina to say goodbye before her time is up. Paulina thanks her for calling and says it means so much to her as they hang up. Paulina says it was so good to hear Lani’s voice as that was just what she needed. They wish Lani could be with them for girls’ night. Paulina talks about hoping Lani will be back in Salem soon as they prepare to start the movie.

Doug, Julie, Thomas, and Charlotte escape the Horton house as Doug assures the kids that it’s okay and they are safe now but they worry for Chad still being in the house. Julie then decides to run back in despite Doug’s pleas for her not to.

Roman goes back to Harris’ room and tells Kate and Lucas that he cleared the scene and the shooter is gone. Roman asks if they saw anything. Lucas says it was too dark. Kate says she only saw the gun. Roman is glad she acted fast and scared him off. Lucas acknowledges that Kate saved his life as they hug.

Tripp and Wendy go to the docks. Tripp asks what happened. Ava responds that she doesn’t know as she just found Harris lying there bleeding. Tripp asks if she called 911 but Ava says no, she called him. Tripp instructs Wendy to call 911 and tell them that they have an officer down and need paramedics. Stefan comes out and sees what is happening. Tripp says he need something to stop the bleeding so Ava sends Stefan back in for napkins. Tripp notes that it feels like a single bullet wound to the chest and one to the arm which Wendy repeats on her 911 call. Wendy goes to get the first aid kit from the kitchen as Stefan comes back out. Ava remarks that this wasn’t supposed to happen. Tripp asks what she means by that. Ava says nothing as she flashes back to making a plan with Harris in the interrogation room. Ava says it doesn’t matter now and pleads with Harris not to die.

Paulina and Chanel finish their food. Chanel then gets a call from Johnny. Chanel tells him that he can’t come over because it’s girls night and thanks him for getting the DVDs. Chanel says she loves him and will see him tomorrow as she hangs up. Chanel tells Paulina that Johnny sends his love and wishes her the best for tomorrow’s surgery. Chanel mentions that Johnny is out shopping. Paulina bets he’s getting her a Valentine’s Day surprise. Chanel admits that Johnny is pretty good at surprises.

Roman compliments Kate on her shooting at the gun range while Lucas points out that the shooter was definitely after him. Roman feels they have to tell Harris. Kate complains that Harris said Lucas would be fine and worries about what could’ve happened. Roman points out that Lucas is fine. They then hear police sirens outside.

Rafe and Jada arrive on the docks to find Harris bleeding. Rafe asks for his condition as the paramedics arrive. Tripp informs the paramedics of the situation. Jada orders the other cops to get the area courted off and check with witnesses. Rafe asks what the hell happened. Ava responds that she just came out and found Harris lying in blood. Rafe gets a call and informs Jada that there’s been another shooting at the Brady Pub so he needs her to get there now.

Julie goes back in to the Horton House as Chad is trying to extinguish the fire. Julie yells for him to stop as he can’t put it out and the fire is too big.

Chanel and Paulina play Go Fish with a deck of cards. Paulina tells her how her and Johnny together makes her very happy. Chanel admits she’s a very lucky girl. Paulina calls it wonderful that Chanel found her true love. Paulina asks what it is about Johnny that makes him the one. Chanel tells her that Johnny makes her feel safe, empowered and accepts and respects her for who she is. Chanel adds that he’s fun, makes her laugh, is creative and curious. Chanel loves how honest he is and how he’s strong but also vulnerable. Chanel calls Johnny the whole package, saying they have great chemistry but it’s really so much for that. Paulina then gets a call and is shocked by what she hears. Paulina asks when this happened and if he’s alive. Paulina tells them to keep her posted and hangs up. Paulina then informs Chanel that Harris was shot tonight by an unknown assailant and they are treating him on the scene at the loading docks of the Bistro. Paulina wants to get to the hospital but Chanel reminds her that she has to get ready for her surgery tomorrow and she needs to let the deputy mayor fill in for her on this. Paulina insists on needing to get there but Chanel says the only thing they can do right now for Harris is pray.

Doug worries about Julie and Chad. Thomas wants to go find them but Doug says it’s too dangerous. Chad and Julie then come back out from the house. Doug is relieved as Chad embraces the kids and tells them it’s okay.

Kate tries calling Harris but it goes to voicemail. Jada arrives, so Roman informs her about what happened with the shooter. Jada asks what he looked like but Kate says she couldn’t see much other than he was dressed in black. Jada asks where it happened. Kate says it was right here in Harris’ room so Jada says she needs to get in there but Kate says she can’t which Jada questions. Roman calls it a matter of privacy that he can’t let her in his tenant’s room. Jada states that a crime went down here tonight and Roman knows that she needs to investigate in order to do her job. Roman then reluctantly allows Jada in, where she is shocked to find Lucas. Jada questions this being Lucas’s safehouse. Lucas confirms he’s been there the whole time. Jada points out that she lives right down the hall and had no idea. Roman states that they need to get in touch with Harris to let him know what happened. Jada then reveals that won’t be possible as Harris was shot tonight and they don’t know yet if he’s going to make it.

Tripp and the paramedics work on Harris on the loading docks. Ava repeats that they don’t know what happened as they were all inside. Tripp tries to get Harris to wake up. Rafe questions not hearing any gunshots. Stefan confirms they heard nothing. Ava says she just came out for a break and saw Harris lying there bleeding. Ava says he looked at her for a minute and then he closed his eyes. Tripp announces that Harris doesn’t have a pulse so they prepare the defibrillator.

Paulina complains about Harris clinging to life. Chanel asks if he was shot in the line of duty. Paulina says they don’t know yet but it goes to show that you never know when your moment might be up. Paulina tells Chanel that they need to talk. Paulina starts talking about if anything happens to her during her surgery and reminds her where her key to her safety deposit box is. Chanel gets upset and tells Paulina not to talk about leaving the planet anytime soon because she will not put up with it. Paulina decides that Chanel has gotten through to her and apologizes. Paulina promises not to leave this planet for a very long time. Paulina declares that she’s going to go in and kick cancer’s ass. Chanel says that’s more like it. Paulina tells Chanel that she loves her.

Roman is shocked to hear that Harris was shot while Kate asks what happened. Jada responds that last she knew, Tripp was working on him on the docks. Kate asks who shot him and Lucas asks if he’s in custody. Jada responds that they don’t know that yet. Jada asks what happened here tonight. Kate explains that she had said goodnight to Lucas, then she saw the door open and they had a gun so she fired her gun and they took off. Jada says they will get forensics in to see what they can find. Lucas reminds her that no one can know he’s there. Jada offers her room but Roman says they will take him to their apartment which Kate calls a good idea. Jada proposes to gather the unit downstairs and make sure Lucas is alone, then they will make the move. Jada says they will have a strong police presence here until they figure out what to do next.

One of the firefighters checks in with Doug, Julie, Chad, and the kids. Julie asks if they can save the house. He responds that they are doing the best they can and will transport them to the hospital to get checked out soon. Julie shouts that it’s their family home for generations with all of their history.

Tripp and the paramedics work to revive Harris but he has no pulse. They use the defibrillator and Tripp continues his compressions as Ava, Rafe, and Stefan watch on.

Chanel tells Paulina that she should get to bed and get some rest. Paulina feels she has to clean up first but Chanel says she will do it while she sleeps. Paulina doesn’t think she’ll be able to sleep but she’s feeling much more positive thanks to her. Chanel offers to lay in bed with her like when she was little which Paulina accepts. Chanel tells her that she’s really proud that she’s her mom. Paulina calls her loving and perfect. Paulina declares that she plans on sticking around this planet for a long time as they hug.

Ava thanks God that Harris is breathing as he’s loaded onto the stretcher. Stefan questions how the hell this happened. Rafe remarks that they are sure as hell going to find out. Tripp calls in to Kayla that Harris has lost a lot of blood and it’s bad as they load him onto the ambulance.

Lucas blames Clyde Weston for all of this. Jada says it sure looks like it. Kate question how he found him since nobody knew Lucas was there. Roman guesses somebody knew. Jada says they will find him a new safehouse. Lucas argues that it won’t make a difference and declares that as long as Clyde Weston is alive, he’s never going to be safe from him.

Doug tells Julie that he’s so sorry but the important thing is they are all safe. Julie cries that she’s watching half of her life go up in flames. Thomas asks Chad about he and Charlotte’s toys. Chad promises to get them new stuff but says right now, they have to count their blessings and thank God they are all okay. Thomas then asks about all their old pictures of Abigail. Chad gets a call and a distorted voice on the other end warns that maybe next time, he’ll listen.

Brick refuses to tell Carly where Sonny took Dex. Sonny took Dex to the Pine Barons and demanded that Dex tell him who he is contacting on his second phone. Dex erases everything on the second phone and tells Sonny he won’t give him the name of the person he is working for so he should do what he has to do.

Recap written by Eva

Adam asks Nick to help him persuade Victor to set up a design division inside Newman for Sally to run inside Newman Enterprises because Sally’s design business isn’t doing well. Sally tells Chloe she doesn’t want to ask Nick for more money or take on a new partner to save her business.

Victor tells his family that the prison fire was arson and that Jordan has escaped but he has a plan to catch her again.

Nikki tells Lauren about the phone calls Jordan has made to her. Lauren tells Nikki that in order to take away Jordan’s power over her she needs to stand up to her. Nikki calls the unknown number on her phone and tells Jordan that she won’t be able to beat the Newman family, so she should come get them because they will be ready for her.

Victor asks Claire to give Jordan a message from him if Jordan should call her again. Victor wants Claire to tell Jordan that he is ready to make amends for what he did to her sister Eve.

Nikki gets another call from the unknown number and Lauren tells her not to answer the phone because she has already said everything she needs to say to Jordan.
