THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
Roman told me about Chanel. Abe, I am so sorry. I brought these for Paulina.
Oh. That’s so kind of you, Kate.
So how is Chanel? How’s she doing?
She’s taking it pretty hard.
Yeah, of course she is. And Paulina?
She’s also taking it hard. You know, she’s–she’s heartbroken for her daughter, and…she blames herself for the miscarriage.
Well, why would she do that?
Well, I’m sure you know, when she rescued Chanel from Smith Island, she exposed her to radiation.
So she thinks that’s the reason that Chanel lost the baby?
She thinks it could be the reason. She’s at the hospital right now trying to– trying to find some answers. [soft tense music]
Kayla?
Oh, oh. Oh, hi.
Do you have a moment?
Yes, I do. Listen, I am so sorry that Chanel lost the baby.
Oh, thank you. Do you know if she’s been discharged yet?
No, I don’t. Last I heard, she was fine physically, resting comfortably.
Oh. That’s–that’s good. Oh.
Can I do anything to help?
You can tell me it wasn’t my fault.
Hey.
Hey.
How are you feeling? Any pain?
No, I’m–I’m fine. But I, uh– I just had this dream.
Yeah? Tell me.
I, uh–well, we were at our baby shower.
Hmm.
And I had this huge belly. And all our friends and family were there. And we were all so excited to meet our child. And there was Christmas decorations and lights, colorful everywhere. And there was presents, so many presents. And my mom got one of everything in pink and in blue because we didn’t know if we were having a boy or a girl. [somber music] I was so happy, Johnny. And you were, too. And you, you had the biggest smile.
Yeah?
And then I– I woke up and… I realized that we would never, ever meet Noelle or Noel because… he or she is no longer with us. And we will never know if it was a boy or a girl. And we will never… hold him or her… in our arms, ever.
[sobbing]
[sighs]
I heard the good news about your father. He was released from the hospital yesterday?
He was. And now Mom and I are doing our best to get him to take it easy.
Yeah. That’ll be a big job.
Oh, yeah, definitely. Ah, the man can’t sit still to save his life.
Yeah, yeah. I’m just–I’m glad he’s OK, and I’m glad he’s home.
Thanks. But I’m guessing you didn’t ask me here for an update on my dad.
No, you’re right about that.
Then this must be about Everett. Has he made any progress?
I’m afraid he hasn’t. Bobby is still in control. [tense music]
Morning, detective.
Steve. What are you doing here?
Well, you did say you needed to see me.
Yeah, I was gonna come to you.
Well, I saved you a trip. What’s up?
I’m sorry to do this, but I’m afraid I have to book you on a felony.
[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”
I assume this, uh, felony has something to do with me breaking Clyde Weston out of Statesville?
Are there any other felonies that I should be aware of?
Not that I can recall.
OK, before you say anything else–
I know the drill. You don’t have to Mirandize me because I waive my right to an attorney. I waive my right to remain silent. I’m just wondering why we’re doing this now. Justin was working on a deal for me. Did that fall through?
Well, a plea deal is still a possibility. But because you already confessed to a crime, I have no choice but to formally charge and book you.
Won’t be my first time posing for a mugshot.
All right, I know you’re acting all cool about this because you’re Steve “Patch” Johnson. But if your lawyer doesn’t find a way to get you out of this, you’re looking at up to five years in prison.
Kayla, I didn’t sleep a wink last night. It’s hard enough knowing that my girl is in so much pain. And when I think about how I– I may have caused that pain exposing her to radiation the way I did–
Paulina, miscarriages are more common than people think, and it could have been caused by any number of things.
That’s what Dr. Green told me, but he couldn’t–he– he couldn’t rule out the possibility that I did this. Now, Kayla, Chanel blames me. I blame myself. So I need to know. Now, is–is there any way to tell for certain what caused my daughter’s miscarriage?
I’m sorry I wasn’t here when you woke up.
You were here all night. It’s OK for you to take a break.
No, no, I– I should have been here.
Well, you were getting me breakfast. A girl’s got to eat, right? Although I don’t have much of an appetite.
Well, you know what? At least, for me, try and drink some water, OK? You should stay hydrated.
And did you, uh–did you ever talk to Peyton Russo?
You know, I, uh– I left him a message last night, but I haven’t heard back from him.
Mm. Well, it’s– it’s still early in LA.
Yeah. But he’s probably on set and, uh, has much bigger things to deal with than me not showing up. [phone ringing] Or maybe not. Uh, it’s him.
Well, maybe he still, uh, wants you to– wants you to come out there and work on the film.
OK. Uh, Peyton? Hello.
I just feel so badly for Chanel and Johnny. I feel badly for all of you, Abe. So if there’s anything that I can do–
Oh. We’ll let you know. I just appreciate your company. Hey, can I get you a cup of coffee?
Um, that really depends, because if you’re still serving up that mud that you used to make both of us drink when we’re working late at City Hall, eh.
[chuckling] I am past all that now. I have an espresso machine in the kitchen, and Chanel has taught me how to make a killer latte.
What? No. OK, I definitely have to see that. And I was gonna wait, but I think maybe now is the right time.
Time for what?
Well, to pitch an idea I have to you about us working together.
I didn’t think you were serious about that.
Well, now that I know there’s lattes involved, it’s even more appealing. [both chuckle] So how do you feel about the two of us working together in the TV business?
So Everett’s doctors at Bayview, they haven’t been able to help him?
Everett’s alter has been protecting him nearly his whole life. That’s why it’s so hard for any professional to break through.
Right. I get that.
Well, the staff thinks, and I agree, that it might be helpful if we had somebody who knew Everett personally. That–that might help us create a breakthrough.
I see. And since I assume you want him to work with me that–that’s why you asked me here. I–I have to say, Marlena, I– Everett and I were close, obviously. But we didn’t know each other for very long. Wouldn’t–wouldn’t a relative be better?
Yes. But we don’t know anything about Everett’s family. We haven’t been told. So at this moment, you’re our best bet.
OK, then. I’ll do whatever I can to help. Should we head over there now?
[stammers] I’m free if you are.
I am.
Great. I’ll remind you that, um– that he can be volatile. You recall how angry he got at the intervention.
I can handle that. I’ll do whatever I can to help get Everett back.
So you remember that talk show that I produced that pushed my housewares line, right?
Oh, yeah, of course I remember, Kate’s Hearth and Home.
[chuckles] That’s right. Martha Stewart had nothing on me.
I agree with that. So are you thinking of reviving it?
No, no. Been there, done that. I want to do something new.
OK.
So what I’m thinking about is scripted programming. ‘Cause you remember when I headed up, when I ran Titan Publishing? I was the one with the eye for the story. So I’m thinking, why not apply that talent, that skill to producing our own television show? Right?
Well, I would never bet against you doing anything you set your mind to, but what I don’t see is where I fit in.
Oh, come on. Abe, you ran the entire Salem PD. You ran the mayor’s office. I think doing television production would be child’s play for you.
I don’t know about that.
Obviously, it would be a learning curve for both of us. But I do know that we would collaborate brilliantly. We’d make a wonderful team. And also, Abe, I– I really miss working with you.
I miss it, too. All right. You have my attention. So tell me more. [funky upbeat music]
I totally understand. And, uh, just thank you for–for calling me. I know you’re probably really busy. Um… yeah, I mean, I would– I would love the opportunity to–to work together again, yes. Yeah, well, right, right. And–and thank you again for–for getting back to me. Yeah. Bye.
What’d he say?
Uh, just, you know, he was really kind. He said he’s sorry for what we’re going through, but obviously, they can’t stop the production just for me. So he’s already replaced me.
Mm. Well, that’s too bad.
Yeah.
But. I mean, maybe you can join the production at a later time.
No. Chanel, I’m not going anywhere, OK? The only place I want to be is right here. With you. [tender music]
I haven’t had a chance to look at Dr. Green’s notes in Chanel’s chart from yesterday, but I do remember that her radiation levels were fairly low.
Could you– could you just please, please take a look at my daughter’s charts? Dr. Green, well, he–he could be a little green. Um, no pun intended. But I would like someone with your experience to see if he missed anything.
I’m happy to look at Chanel’s chart, but I have to let you know that I won’t be able to discuss anything with you until we have your daughter’s consent.
That’s fine. That’s fine. Even–even if it turns out that I was at fault, at least she won’t have to live with the uncertainty.
I’ll get on it right away.
Mm-hmm. Thanks, Kayla.
Yep.
And once Weston and I got to the airfield, he was supposed to tell me where Tripp and Wendy were.
But he didn’t?
No. Son of a bitch double-crossed me. And then your former colleague, Officer Goldman, hit me on the back of the head and knocked me out. When I came to, they were both gone.
Is there anything else that you want to add?
That’s the whole story.
All right, off the record, I totally get what you did and why you did it. Your son’s life was at stake. And you knew that you couldn’t trust the Salem PD because Goldman was on Clyde’s payroll. So you had no other choice but to bust him out.
I appreciate you saying that. Do you think a judge will feel the same way?
I think you have a pretty good chance. But there’s only one problem.
What’s that?
Your story is complete BS. [tense music]
What do you mean, my story’s BS? You know I never would have lifted a finger to help Weston if he hadn’t been threatening Tripp and Wendy’s lives.
It’s not your motive that I’m questioning. It’s your means that doesn’t add up. Look, you’ve already admitted to me that you acted alone when you freed Weston from Statesville.
That’s right.
And Ava Vitali, Tripp’s mother? Was she involved in this at all?
Come on, Jada. You know me well enough to know that I don’t trust Ava Vitali. If I wanted someone to watch my back, it wouldn’t be her. Why are you looking at me like that?
Well, because… Clyde sent that video of Tripp and Wendy to Ava. And she sat on that for some time. So that makes me think that she’s been planning something.
Not with me. I’m the only person Weston asked to bust him out.
Even though Ava admitted to the police that he was trying to blackmail her to move drugs through the Bistro?
Stefan DiMera already took responsibility for everything that happened at the Bistro.
Man, that– that woman has a way of getting men to take the fall for her, doesn’t she?
Some men.
All right, listen. Um, Steve just–just be real with me for a minute, OK? What I don’t understand is after everything that Ava Vitali has done to you, to Kayla, why are you protecting her? Because she’s Tripp’s mom? OK, you know what? Let’s just leave Ava Vitali out of this for a minute, all right? We have eyewitnesses who will testify and security footage that corroborates that there were two people in hazmat suits that escorted Clyde Weston to safety after that chemical spill. You’ve already admitted that you were one of them. Who was the other?
Rebecca Goldman. Who else?
Was it John Black?
[scoffs] John? No, of course not.
I mean, come on. You two are partners.
We’re partners at Black Patch, but we’re not partners in crime. Now you tell me something. Do you have any actual evidence that I’m lying to you about what happened that night?
No. Just a hunch.
Well, your hunch is wrong. [tense music]
So maybe we could do a cop show.
Um, eh. I mean, it’s not exactly my thing. I mean, I loved “Law and Order.” But I mean, how would we top that, right?
Yeah, you have a point. So what do you have in mind?
Actually, I called Will last night, and I think he gave me some great advice. He said that we should find a project that we’re absolutely passionate about.
Hmm. You know, when I start thinking of TV shows that I’ve been watching lately, that I’ve gotten hooked on, one in particular comes to mind.
Really? What is it?
“Body and Soul.”
[laughs] What? That silly soap opera?
Well, it’s not– it’s not so silly. And–and some of the acting is just wonderful.
[laughs] Come on. Seems like a torture to me.
No, no, it’s– it’s just the opposite. You know, now I understand why people get addicted to those kinds of shows. The characters, they– they start to feel like family. There’s one character, one character in particular, Lorna DeLorean. And she reminds me of you.
I hope that’s a compliment.
Definitely, definitely. Look, I have some episodes recorded. I’ll show you. [upbeat music] [soft music]
Are you going home?
Yeah, uh… Dr. Green gave us the all clear. Uh… we should get going.
Um, Ch– wait, wait, wait. Chanel, please. There’s something I need to say to you.
I don’t want to talk right now.
Well, you can just listen. I promise, it won’t take long. Now… I just wanted to say again how sorry I am. If I could go back in time, I would do things differently. And I love you to the moon and back, and I never– I never meant to harm you and your unborn child. Now, if you–you never forgive me, I get it. And even if you do, well– well, I will regret what I did the rest of my life. And I just– I just wanted you to know that.
I’d like you to take me home now.
Ah, Chanel, I’m glad I caught you. I was just reviewing your lab results, and, um, I think there’s something you should know.
[breathing forcefully] [grunts] What do you two want?
We are here to talk to Everett.
Oh. Everett’s not here right now. But I’m happy to pass along a message.
We know that Everett lives inside of you, and that’s because you’re protecting him. We’re not here to hurt him.
No. No, no, no, you’re just wanting to do years of therapy and confront his past. Right? Not gonna happen.
We just want to help him.
The problem is, you two don’t know the difference between helping someone and hurting him. Get the hell out of here. [tense music]
You two hard of hearing? Get lost. [whispers] Bye. Bye. [normal volume] I’m gonna do my workout. [grunting] [soft tense music]
Everett, it’s me, Stephanie.
And I know you’re in there, so please just talk to me. You don’t have to be afraid.
You’re wasting your time, sweetheart.
Everett, you know you can trust me, like I trusted you when you helped me with my breakup with Chad. I can help you deal with whatever happened to you in your past.
Oh, shut up! Just shut up. I have been in here for weeks. Where have you been? [firmly] Where have you been? Things get a little hard, a little bit hard for you and Everett, and you abandon him like everybody else.
Oh, that’s not true. I care about Everett.
You only care about yourself. You’re such a liar. My god. I do what it takes to protect Everett, OK? From everyone, and that includes people like you, Stephanie Johnson. So get out of my face.
Everett, please.
Everett’s not here. Not here! Do you see him?
You have that sort of annoying personality that thinks she’s always wanted.
Mm.
Don’t you? Yeah. Let me say something, just clear the air about it ’cause it seems like it’s not totally getting through. I want nothing to do with you. I find you desperate, and pathetic, and unattractive. You do nothing for me.
Is that right? Well, I want to hear that from him. From Everett. So let him out. Let him out, you bastard.
See what I mean? Watching Lorna DeLorean must be like looking in a mirror for you.
Well, I, um– I mean, there’s a slight resemblance, I guess.
Of course there is. And what about Kassandra and Charlemagne? Don’t they remind you of Kayla and Marlena?
Abe, I really have to say, I think spending all that time with that delusional nurse has really skewed your perception of reality.
I’m surprised you don’t see it. But anyway, let’s just get back on track here. What do you think about the show itself?
OK, I totally admit, it holds one’s attention. I really do. And I’m all for strong female characters, so.
So are you thinking what I’m thinking?
That we should be producing our own soap opera?
[chuckles]
Well, I guess I have no choice but to accept your statement.
Well, like you said, you have no evidence to the contrary.
You know, my dad always said that you were trouble.
Marcus meant that as a compliment.
And how does Kayla feel about all this, about you taking the fall?
She’s not happy about what I did. But she understands why I did it, and she’s on board with me taking responsibility for it.
I’m guessing being married to you is no walk in the park.
I have tested Kayla’s limits quite a bit lately. But I’m gonna find a way to make it up to her.
Well, I really hope your deal comes through soon so you have a chance to do that.
What did you find out, Dr. Johnson?
Chanel, if you’d like, we can go to my office and talk about this privately.
No, no, it’s OK. Go ahead.
Dr. Green knew that you had concerns about the cause of the miscarriage. So he ran some more tests, and the results just came back.
Was it– was it radiation exposure?
No, it wasn’t. You had what’s called a partial molar pregnancy. It’s something that happens at conception. It’s not very common, and if you like, I can certainly get you some information on it. But basically, the fetus wasn’t viable from the very beginning.
So does–does this mean that I was always gonna lose my baby?
I’m afraid so.
[sniffles]
Oh, baby. Oh. Oh.
[sobbing]
Oh.
[sobbing]
Oh, Mama, I am so sorry that I blamed you for everything.
No, no, you shush. You shush. You have–you have absolutely nothing, nothing to apologize for.
But I was so cold to you, so mean.
Mm-mm. No, it’ll be OK, baby. Everything will be OK, everything. Oh, honey. Oh.
Chanel, you know, now that we know why you had the miscarriage, we’re gonna want to monitor you for a few months.
Uh, why?
It’s unlikely, but just to make sure that there’s no complications.
Can you do it remotely? Because Chanel and Johnny, they’re moving to LA.
Oh, well, um… actually, our plans have changed. We’ve decided to stay in Salem.
OK, my only concern is I read somewhere that soaps are a dying genre, so.
Well, I understand that, you know, they’ve been saying that for years. And if you–you look at the stories on a lot of entertainment, well, they borrow quite a lot from soap operas.
Mm-hmm. So where do you think most of the soap operas are produced, in New York or Los Angeles?
Los Angeles.
Well, I don’t think either of us are prepared to relocate to Los Angeles. We could shoot it here. And perhaps that would be cheaper.
Yeah, I would assume so.
And I have money that I’ll put in, but I’m also gonna hit up contacts to invest.
I think we’re going to do this. [both laugh]
I mean, I– I think we need to do research before we commit. But, Abe, I am really excited.
You and me both. [upbeat music]
Well, I hope the dudette who snapped my mugshot got my good side.
Well, that’s why they take both profiles, to make sure. And not to worry; you look like a perfectly respectable criminal.
Well, thank you.
Ooh, you better hustle on over to the courthouse. Your bail hearing starts in minutes.
Oh. Yeah, I’m really glad Justin was able to put that together so fast.
Me, too.
You mean that? I know I– I really had you frustrated earlier.
Yeah, you did. But it was only because I care about you.
The feeling is mutual, Detective Hunter. Now I know I’ve said this many times before, but your dad would be so proud of you.
So proud of me.
Yeah, that’s right. Just like I am.
Thank you. That means a lot to me.
Come here. Mm. OK. You have a good day.
All right. You, too.
Whoa. Whoa, whoa.
[gasps softly]
Whoa.
This isn’t working. We need to go.
I’m sorry, Marlena. I didn’t– I didn’t mean to lose it.
You know what? Why don’t I see if there’s any rooms for her here at Bayview? Just because it sort of seems like she’s the one–
I know you think you’re protecting Everett, but you know what? You know what? You’re making things worse. And he is never going to be free and safe until he confronts his own issues.
You’re that sort of personality that thinks she’s always right, don’t you? Mm-hmm, very common in your profession. See, I’ve been keeping Everett safe a long time. In fact, that poor soul has only made it this far because of me. So if you two keep pushing, no one will ever see Everett again. [tense music]
Why, Kate! You look awfully engrossed in something there.
Well, actually, I was. Abe and I are thinking about collaborating on a new business venture. So, um, doing some researching.
Wow. What kind of business?
We’re thinking of producing a soap opera.
Who came up with that idea?
Abe did, actually. He happens to be a big fan of “Body and Soul.”
Oh, I know that, actually. Do either one of you have any experience in producing a soap opera?
Well, you know, sometimes I feel like I’m living a soap opera. But otherwise, no, we don’t. So that’s why I’m doing my due diligence and doing a little research and see if– wow. Oh, my god. He is going to freak out.
What is it?
Well, Soap Opera Digest says “Body and Soul” has been canceled.
Sweetheart, did you talk to Kayla?
Yes, I did. And, Abe, she– she told us that the fetus that Chanel was carrying, it wasn’t viable from the moment of conception.
Oh, Paulina. That means that you– you’re not responsible for Chanel losing the baby.
That’s what it means.
Oh, sweetheart.
Oh. Oh, Abe. Oh, and I was just so– I was so afraid that Chanel was gonna hate me for the rest of her life.
No, that would never have happened. She would have forgiven you eventually.
Well, I suppose, but now I– well, I don’t have to wait for eventually.
Now you can be there for your daughter.
Mm-hmm. Yes, I can. It’ll be a whole lot easier to be there for her now because, Chanel and Johnny have changed their minds about moving to LA.
Do you, uh– do you need anything?
Just you. Do you think you could hold me for a bit?
No, not for a little bit. How does forever sound?
It sounds perfect.
Yeah.
Oh, Johnny, it is such a relief to know that the miscarriage wasn’t my fault or my mom’s. It just wasn’t meant to be.
Yeah, right. Hey, we’re gonna get through this, my love, OK? Together.
Yeah. Yeah, we will. And, Johnny, I’m–I’m sorry that you lost your dream job.
Forget about it, OK? I already have. And besides, sharing my life with you, the best person that I know, well, that is already a dream come true right there.
I love you, Johnny.
I love you, too.
[soft dramatic music]
– [echoing] Bobby. You have to let me out.
Shut up, Everett. – You should have let them talk to me. What you said to Stephanie about me not wanting her, it wasn’t true.
Yeah. Well, what would you think is true and what I know to be true are two very different things. I know what’s best for you. And it sure as hell isn’t Stephanie Johnson.
Jada!
Stephanie, are you OK?
No, I’m not. I’m worried we’re going to lose Everett forever. And the only way to stop that from happening is for you to speak to Bobby. You need to speak to your ex-husband, Jada, please.
