THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
I can’t believe it, Julie. The house is all brand new, and yet–I don’t know. You made it still seem like the same Horton family home.
Well, that was my inspiration. Of course, I had a lot of good ideas from the workmen. They gave me a lot of wonderful support.
Oh, come on. It was all you. This is beautiful.
Well, it’s a tribute to my grandparents, really.
Yeah, well, I know you did that. And what about any luck opening their time capsule?
I wish. I have absolutely no idea where the key is.
Okay, well, then maybe the both of us can brainstorm over dinner and try to figure it out.
It’ll be a challenge, I warn you. Maggie… there’s something else I need to talk to you about.
Okay, what is it?
Well, you know when you told me you were going to marry Konstantin, I supported you because I respect you and I respected your decision?
Yeah, you did.
Well, since then, I’ve given it a lot more thought. And I think it is a mistake. I think it’s a terrible mistake, Maggie. Do not marry that man. [mysterious music] [ominous music]
Oh. Uh, sorry. I didn’t think anyone was in here.
I was just having a drink. I may have despised the man, but Victor did keep a well-stocked bar. [chuckles]
Cool. Okay, you enjoy.
No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Before you go, I would like to have, um, a word with you. And now that you are safely ensconced in the Kiriakis mansion, I would like to know your plan for getting the Kiriakis heir up the aisle.
[laughs] Wow. I thought you had to work late tonight.
I did. I just couldn’t wait to come over here and do this. [both moan] Mm. You know, I spent all day going over all the minutia for a potential merger with some of Titan’s subsidiaries. I just couldn’t stop thinking about this merger.
Ah, you know what, Alex?
Hmm? What?
We, uh, merged twice this morning.
I know, but that was hours ago. I can’t help it if I have a crazy sweet tooth. And with you, I’m like a kid in a candy store.
[laughs] All right, I’m afraid, kid, that this candy store…
Yeah.
Yeah, it’s closed.
[screams]
Come on, Chad. Just think this through.
I have been thinking this through for a very long time. After what you said about my wife, I will absolutely end you right here, right now. You will never have the chance to put another family through the pain you put us through.
Chad, no!
An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind.
Oh, and now you’re scared? Tell me something. How do you think Abigail felt?
I wouldn’t know.
What do you–what do you mean, you wouldn’t know?
I wouldn’t know, because I didn’t kill her. Abigail is still alive. [suspenseful music]
What did you say?
Do you need me to speak more clearly? Your dearly departed wife is actually alive and well here in the land of the living.
[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”
Did you hear what I said? Abigail is alive. So why don’t you put that gun down?
No! No, you are lying. You are lying. You would say anything to stop me from putting this bullet between your beady little eyes.
Chad, you don’t want to do this.
No, this is exactly what I want to do.
Just give me a gun. We’ll take this son of a–
I need him to say it!
Say what?
The truth. That you murdered my wife in cold blood to stop her from exposing the drug operation. I need you to look me in the eyes and I need you to say it, or I will end you.
Go ahead and kill me if you want. If you do, you’ll spend the rest of your life wondering why you blew the only chance you’ll ever have of getting the love of your life back.
Julie, I appreciate your concern about my marriage to Konstantin. But, you know, it’s just one out of convenience. As I explained it to you. I mean, his visa is expiring. Then this way, he can stay in the country.
Yes. Yes, you explained it to me. The reason I’ve changed my mind is because of the story he told you. Oh, how years ago, Victor sent Steve and John off to Greece on some sort of a mission. And unfortunately, on that mission, Konstantin’s daughter was killed.
So why would that make me want to not marry him?
Well, isn’t it obvious? He must have hated Victor’s guts. You don’t get over something like that, the death of your only child.
No, it was a terrible tragedy, of course. And Konstantin is not over his daughter’s death. He’ll never be over it. But he found in his heart a way to be forgiving.
Oh, how lovely. I don’t believe it. I think he just showed up on your doorstep with an ulterior motive and all this gushing about how he was buddy-buddy with Victor is so much balderdash.
Oh, come on. What ulterior motive would he have had?
Well, you’re not gonna like the sound of it. I think he came to Salem, wormed his way into your house and into your heart to get revenge on an old enemy. And I’m afraid he’s gonna use you to do it.
Why don’t you just mind your own business and worry about your own wedding?
No, no, no. But your wedding is my business, my dear. Because after you become Alexander’s wife, you will generously share Victor’s fortune with me.
Thanks to the devil’s bargain I was stupid enough to make with you.
It was your idea to make it look like Alex’s name was on the letter instead of Xander’s, huh? But we all know that ideas are a dime a dozen. Execution is where the rubber hits the road.
Oh, wow, my aren’t you the Greek philosopher?
Despite your tedious sarcasm, I would expect you would show me some gratitude given the fact that I was the one that found the forger to alter Victor’s letter.
Well, doesn’t exactly seem to be paying off, does it?
Which is why you need to get hitched sooner rather than later. Otherwise, there was no point to divert the true heir’s money. [tense music]
I thought the candy store was open /.
Mm, well, I am changing the hours.
Is this about Theresa? Because she knows all about us. I actually just left a session with Dr. Evans, and she got me to realize that I need to be open and honest.
Oh, yes. I’m not much of a fan of Marlena’s. Um, but that is really good advice, which I am going to take as well.
Good. So you’re gonna be honest with yourself about wanting me right now.
No. [laughs] No, what I’m gonna be honest with you about is that as fun and as energetic as you are, Alex, I’m just not that into you.
Julie, I can see why you would think Konstantin is out for revenge.
Well, why don’t you think it?
Well, because Konstantin and I, we’ve discussed this. He and Victor made amends.
Amends? Amends is something you make when you’ve broken your friend’s favorite china plate. Mediterranean man of a certain age does not make amends with the person who is responsible for the death of his child.
Julie, I’m sorry you feel that way.
I just don’t understand how you can fall for such a tall tale. I mean, you’re too smart to be so gullible. And something’s off. [unsettling music]
Julie, please. Can I ask you to just trust me that I know what I’m doing?
There’s a plan? Okay. Okay. There’s a plan. So tell me all about it. [sighs] You asked me to trust you and now you don’t trust me?
I think the less you know, the better.
Well, you know I’ll never go for that.
Well, how’s Chad and the kids? Are they gonna be joining us for dinner?
No. No, actually, Chad is out of town.
On business?
No, he– [sighs] He’s trying to track down Clyde Weston.
Clyde? Why?
He has come to believe that the killing of Abigail was a premeditated act.
You think I murdered Abigail? But if I didn’t, you’d be murdering an innocent man.
You? Innocent?
You don’t believe me, go ahead and shoot. But I don’t think you will. Last time you had the chance, you wussed out.
Shut up, Clyde, or I’ll shoot you myself. Chad, you got two kids. Abigail would want you to be there for them. You pull that trigger and that’s not gonna happen. You’ve lost so much already. Do not let this guy take anything else from you.
I’m gonna let you live because I need to– I need to find out how Abigail could possibly be alive. And where she is.
We’ll take him in and we’ll get you some answers. [tense music]
You two wanna tell me what you were talking about just now?
Oh, Konstantin was just telling me about all the virtues of Victor’s liquor inventory.
[laughs] Oh. Really? That’s funny, ’cause I swear I heard somebody say something about diverting the true heir’s funds?
Oh, no.
Or his money?
That–that–that was me, because I misspoke, Brady. I meant to divide to the true heirs their money.
Oh.
My English sometimes, it’s–
It’s the Greek, you know? And we were just saying how Victor’s kind of screwed everybody out of the inheritance. You know, now that the will is going through probate, she’s gonna be able– Maggie will be able to share–
Yeah, she’s going to share because she is so generous. And we are all so lucky to have Maggie in our lives.
Mm-hmm.
True. both: I don’t like that guy.
I know, right? I feel like he doesn’t care what anyone thinks about him.
No, he doesn’t. Besides Maggie.
Yeah.
[sighs] So you have plans with Alex tonight?
[scoffs] Nope.
Oh. Trouble in paradise?
Well, if you have to know, he intends to keep seeing Kristen. So that means that we’re in an open relationship. [stirring music]
Where is this coming from? I thought we had a good thing going.
Oh, we did. Did. And let me just save the blow to your ego by confirming that what we had was really wonderful, especially the physical part.
Well, then what’s the problem?
[laughs] Well, I thought I would be happy being friends with benefits.
But something changed your mind?
Mm. Mm-hmm. I spoke to my brother earlier, Stefan. And I realized that casual sex has and can have some serious consequences.
What kind of serious consequences? Because it seems pretty harmless to me. We’ve been completely honest with each other, right? So I don’t see the downside to continuing this little arrangement.
Maybe that’s because you’re in denial.
Denial of what?
Hmm, that you have feelings for Theresa, that you are in love with her.
Come on. I’m in love with Theresa?
No, you come on. Have you forgotten why we started this in the first place? It was to make Theresa and Brady jealous.
That’s right, and then it became something else.
Mm. Or maybe not. Last night, you were, oh, you were talking in your sleep about Theresa.
No, I– I was not.
Yes, you actually were talking to Theresa.
What did I say?
Oh, some very romantic things. Yeah, along the lines of, um, “I love you. I want you in my heart. And I want you to be with me, forever.”
I said that in my sleep?
Yeah. Yeah. And you know what? Since we’re being open and honest, I think you need to be honest with yourself about the woman that you’re whispering sweet nothings to in your dreams.
But we got a good thing going. It’s nice. It’s fun.
Mm-hmm. And now it’s over. Because I am in love with Brady. And, Alex, the only reason that you wanted candy from me is to distract you from being sweet on Theresa.
Yeah, I knew there was something going on with Alex and Kristen, but I didn’t think it was anything serious at all.
Oh, yeah. I’m sure it’s not. I’m sure it’s just a fling or whatever.
It’s obviously bothering you a little bit, huh?
No. I’m cool with it.
No, you’re not.
Yes, I am.
No, you’re not. I know you’re not cool with it, because you don’t like sharing. That I know about you. You probably want Alex all to yourself. Yes or no?
Okay, yeah, it’s not really great for my ego that I feel like I’m not enough for him. Or for any man, for that matter. Yes, you’re right. I don’t like sharing.
Have you told him that?
No, I’m not gonna tell him that, Brady. I’ve got more pride than that. I’m not gonna pressure anyone to be with me.
Are you sure about that one?
Okay, yes, I… I know I’ve done that with you. In the past. But I’m breaking my pattern now since that hasn’t really served me well.
How mature.
Yes. Yes, it is very mature. And you know what? [sighs] Alex wants to keep seeing Kristen, then why do I have to feel guilty if I want to be with another man?
You definitely don’t have to.
Yeah. If he doesn’t intend to be exclusive, then why should I? [stirring music]
Dear God. So Chad went after Clyde?
Could not be stopped, evidently.
You know, I can understand his need for revenge. But doesn’t he realize what a dangerous man that he is?
How can you say that and not realize how dangerous it is for you to be marrying Konstantin when he must have loathed Victor?
Julie, I told you that I–
Yeah, you got a plan. Won’t tell me what the plan is. Well, maybe I’ve got a plan too. Maybe it’s a better plan. Here’s my plan. You don’t marry Konstantin. You call off the wedding before it’s too late.
And why would she do that? [sinister music]
You know, this really is terrible.
Then why do you keep eating it?
‘Cause I can’t help myself. I stress eat.
Ah.
And because you ate the last bag of flaming hot cheese puffs.
Yeah. That was a mistake. I’m gonna regret that in the morning. Ooh. My stomach.
Chad. What happened with Clyde? Is Harris okay? What–
Harris is good. Harris is fine. Uh, he has Clyde. He’s waiting for the FBI to take him into custody.
Thank goodness. All right, I’m–I’m–I’m gonna go. I’m gonna check for myself.
Yeah, go. Check it out. Be safe out there.
Thanks.
What’s going on, man? You all right? You, uh, want to talk or something?
Clyde said something about Abigail.
What’d he say? What, he admitted that he targeted her?
Yeah, he did, but he said something else. [mysterious music]
He said that Abigail’s alive.
I think you may be right. I’m using you as a distraction from my feelings for Theresa.
Ah, Marlena’s got nothing on me. I’m gonna send you the bill.
All right.
[laughs]
You know, Theresa told me she wanted to marry me. I pushed her away. I told her we needed to sleep in separate rooms.
I mean, that’s probably a good thing. Otherwise she would have heard you moaning about, “I love you, and I need you and”–
Can you–can you please, please, please stop that? Just stop.
Okay.
Just–
I’ll stop.
Thank you.
I’m sorry.
Mm. All right, so why– why do you think you’ve kept Theresa at arm’s length?
Honestly?
Yeah.
I can’t help feeling there’s a reason why I shouldn’t trust her.
Oh, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, what are you doing? What are you doing?
Kissing you, you big dummy.
I know that’s what you’re doing, but where’d that– Theresa, where’d that come from?
I don’t know, it’s just– it’s an impulse, you know? It was just an impulse. I mean, why– why do Kristen and Alex get to have all the fun? And for the record, you were kissing me back.
Yeah, you caught me off guard. You–that’s not fair.
Yeah, but still, you liked it. It was fun, wasn’t it?
I need a second to process this, okay?
What?
Jeez.
What’s to process?
Theresa.
What? What’s to process? It was sweet. It was–it was exciting. It was–it was fun. You know what?
What?
If I’m being honest here… if I’m being really honest, I want you, Brady. And if you’re gonna be honest with me, you’re gonna admit that you want me too. Right?
Forgive me for intruding on your private conversation, but the door was open. Did you realize that no one in Salem actually locks their doors?
Well, it’s a friendly town. We don’t expect to have unwelcome intruders.
[chuckles] Of course not. This woman is saving my life by marrying me. And I will do everything in my power to keep her safe. Until death doth us do part.
I’m just having a hard time believing you’re gonna have such a rosy future since her late husband was responsible for the death of your daughter.
Clyde told you that Abigail was still alive?
He did.
How is that possible?
I don’t–I don’t– I don’t know, Lucas. All right, I was in shock. I didn’t really have time to get into details.
Well, why would he say that?
Probably because I had a gun to his head.
Right, there you go. He was trying to save his own skin.
Right, so he was just– he would have said anything, right? You know, if he thought it would make me spare his life?
Yeah, yeah. Hell yeah, he would have.
Yeah. But what if he wasn’t lying, Lucas? What if Abigail really is still alive?
So what is it about Theresa that you feel you can’t trust? Other than the fact that she’s totally untrustworthy. Okay, I’m sorry. It’s just a joke.
Yeah, that’s not funny. I don’t know why I have all these doubts. I just can’t help feeling that she’s not being straight with me. There’s been so many times where it feels like she was on the verge of saying something to me. Something that would upset me. And it’s like she was about to, like–
Mm. About to what? Hmm? Confess?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like she was about to confess. And every time she started to say what she was intending to say, she would just change her mind. She’d shut down. And then I’d, like, start to catch her in a little white lie. And she’d try to make an explanation for it, which didn’t make any sense at all, which only makes me think, like–
Maybe that there’s a bigger lie that she’s keeping from you?
Maybe.
Alex. If you love her, if you really love her, then you owe it to yourself to find out what she apparently is afraid to tell you. And, you know what, maybe that, that the two of you, it could take you to a whole other level.
Right. Yeah, maybe it could. Thank you for listening. Helping me figure this whole thing out. As a friend.
We were friends with benefits, you know.
Mm. Yeah.
We just focused on the benefits part. So I figured I owe you some friendly advice.
Well, thank you. It was a lot of fun, though.
It was. [laughs] And I really, really hope this works out for you. Oh. You are such a sweet guy. You are.
Nah.
Even though you don’t want anyone to know it.
Okay, well, I’ve also seen a sweet side to you. And I know whatever that it is that you feel for Brady is real. I hope he turns around.
Mm. He will. [gentle music]
[Kristen sighs]
Theresa, don’t. Come on. We’ve never been good with boundaries. This is crossing ’em big-time. This is a bad idea.
Why? Why is it, though? I mean, come on, we’re consenting adults. And it’s so obvious that we still have this connection.
No, the only connection that we’re supposed to focus on right now and that matters is our son, all right? And, hey, we’ve been doing a good job lately, right? We’ve been getting along. We’ve been co-parenting really well. And given our track record, that’s, like, a minor miracle, okay?
Yes, it is. I agree.
It is. So all I’m saying is, we’re on a roll here, so let’s not blow it, okay? At least out of respect for our boy. Right? ‘Cause he doesn’t wanna deal with his parents’ drama right now, especially given all the drama he’s had to deal with us in the past.
This time, there is no drama.
[laughs] No drama? Come on, I know you, I know me, and I definitely know us.
Okay.
Theresa.
Okay, yes, we’re Tate’s parents. But, by God, we just–we used to be so much more than that. And from the way you just kissed me now, it’s–
Ooh. No, you kissed me. You kissed me.
Okay, fine. From the way that that kiss felt, I– what if I promise– no. What if I swear on a stack of bibles that there will be no more drama, at least not from me anyway and I will behave with the utmost dignity and self-respect and respect for you and there will be no more clinginess and pressure and demands and we can just celebrate in this connection that you and I have? And we can just have this great old, like, lovely time.
Lovely time together. Yeah, you are– you are really aiming high on this one, you know that.
Why not? I know you’re not seeing anyone. So I bet you are really lonely. And I bet you would like to have some companionship. Maybe some affection. Maybe some warmth.
[sighing]
You’re okay.
I am.
Good. And where’s Clyde?
I handed him over to the FBI. I was just interviewing the manager of the campground to get more details on Clyde’s stay here.
So he’s going back to Statesville?
[sighs]
And you’re still upset with me. [mysterious music] Look, I know you’re not happy that I was gonna kill Clyde.
Yeah. I’m not real happy.
Look, I’m not saying I was right. But I’m not gonna apologize for doing what I needed to do to keep my son safe. Look, Clyde has been threatening him. He’s been threatening Tripp, and he’s been holding it over my head for months. All right, it finally got to me. And I admit, I went too far.
You definitely did.
Okay, but I didn’t shoot him. And you caught him. All right, so let’s just– let’s put this behind us, okay? Come on, Harris, please. Will you please try and understand why I did what I did so we can get past this?
You know, Julie, I don’t think my personal relationship is any of your concern.
No, no, no, Maggie. Do not be so hard on your friend. I understand her desire to protect you. It is something we share. And it is a fair question. I explained to Maggie several months ago that Victor and I–
Yes, you made amends.
Exactly. And the truth is, upon reflection, I realized that it was wrong of me to blame Victor for my daughter’s death. I have come to understand that it was a horrendous mistake. [foreboding music] You see, Julie, my daughter, Catharina, was one of the kindest people I have ever known. She would never want me to fill my heart with hardness.
And then, like I told you, I lost a daughter and a son. So I know something about your pain.
Yes. That is another thing that binds us, Maggie. And I must say, dear woman, that I am so grateful that you proposed to me. Oh, on that note, I have some news.
News?
I just found out that my visa is officially expiring. So if I am to stay in this country, we have no choice but to get married tomorrow.
You wanna get married tomorrow?
Maggie, think this through!
Julie, please.
Maggie, I know you wanted to plan something special. But it is not really necessary, is it? After all, the only reason we are getting married is so that I can get my visa. And to do that, all we need to do is be pronounced man and wife by this time tomorrow.
[laughs] By this time tomorrow, it’ll all be behind us. [ominous music]
[conspiratorial music]
[exhales] Ah, Brady. I am gonna do whatever it takes to win you back. And this time, I’m not gonna let you go.
Theresa! [light string music] That’s funny. Henderson said she was here. [suspenseful music]
[both panting]
[sighs] Look, I get that you did what you felt you had to do.
There’s a but coming.
You know, I gotta get back to the FBI field office.
Okay, I’ll come with you.
No, no. They’re not gonna want any civilians there. Look, I just want to make sure that Clyde is processed and he gets put away so he never hurts anybody ever again.
Of course.
I guess, um, we’ll talk more about this when we get back to Salem.
Okay. [wistful music]
Chad, I know you want to believe that there’s still hope that Abigail’s alive. I feel the same way, but you gotta consider the source.
I know.
He’s messing with your head. You know, he’s pushing your buttons. He’s just trying to make you suffer.
Well, he succeeded. He said that if I killed him, I would spend the rest of my life wondering if he was telling the truth.
You know, if he’s right, if Abigail is still alive, why didn’t he say anything earlier, huh?
I don’t–I don’t– I don’t–I don’t know, Lucas! I don’t know!
Listen to me–
It doesn’t make sense. Okay? I get it.
Chad, you were the one who found her. You found her. You saw her. You saw what he did to her.
I know.
Listen, man, I loved her too. I did. And as much as we don’t want to admit it, as much we don’t want to admit it, it was so–it–
I-I know. Come here.
I’m sorry, man. I am. I’m sorry, okay?
