THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
[soft dramatic music]
[sighs]
Wow. Quiet this morning?
Yeah. Well, your teenage grandson has yet to emerge from his bedroom, which means the daily debate of whether he can have his AirPods on at the breakfast table is gonna have to be postponed.
Well, maybe he’s just sleeping in.
[chuckles] He’s trying to sleep the day away so he can avoid the consequences of what he did last night.
Yeah. Well, it’s a shame about the prom, wasn’t it? Especially with Tate and Holly.
Yeah. It was very disastrous, especially when Theresa decided to drag Holly home from the hotel.
Yeah. I’m not sure that was necessary.
No. I–I– I think her anger was justified. We have–we told Tate from the very beginning, you are not allowed to see Holly Jonas, and he decided on his own to go ahead and defy us and– doesn’t happen all the time, but Theresa and I, we are of one mind about this. [soft dramatic music]
Hmm.
Oh, no. I–I– I know that face, and I know that “hmm.” And that’s when you’re keeping your own counsel, right?
You know me too well.
[chuckles] Hmm. You wanna to tell me what you think?
Only if you want to hear it.
Hey, a lot of people in this town pay big bucks for your insight, and one of the perks I get for living here is that I get it for free, so–
I’m wondering, uh, if your reaction has less to do with what Tate did and more to do with how you feel about his mother.
Wow. I’m surprised to see you up and about so early.
Hey, Bonnie.
Ooh. I figured you’d be sleeping in after prom night. How was chaperoning?
Oh, it was great, if you consider walking in in the nick of time to stop two kids from having sex together in a hotel room.
Oh, boy.
Yeah. “Oh, boy” is right. We caught Tate and Holly at the Good Old Salem Inn.
I thought those two weren’t supposed to be–
To be seeing each other? Yeah, no. They weren’t. We found out Tate has been sneaking around with that neurotic little liar, even after everything she did to try and ruin his life.
Oh. So I take it last night was a total disaster for everyone, then.
Not everyone. Mm.
Oh.
One thing went very right last night. [intriguing music]
Good morning, my love.
Oh! Good morning.
Hmm. What’s all this?
These are our wedding invitations. They just came from the printer.
Ah, yes.
Aren’t they beautiful?
They are. And may I just say how grateful I am that, unlike the most recent disastrous “almost” wedding we all had to endure, that you and I are gonna have a perfect wedding.
Definitely.
Especially for your mother’s sake, after everything she went through.
Yeah. That was quite an ordeal, that “almost” wedding to that miserable cretin.
That now-dead miserable cretin.
Thank God my mom laid a trap for that con man.
Yeah. Thank God.
[sighs] All right. No more talk about that vile SOB and the “almost” wedding. Let’s just focus on our upcoming nuptials.
Whatever you say, my beautiful bride. [gentle music]
Next time you want to visit me, do me a favor–just don’t. [somber music] Fine, Mother. I won’t. I will never visit you again. In fact, I never want to see you again. In fact, you can burn in–
no, you can’t, because you’re still my mother, And as sad as it is, I still want you to love me. I want that so bad.
Hey. You okay? [soft dramatic music]
[gulping] Mm. Oops.
[laughs] Oh, it’s you.
You look like you got some bad news.
It’s my mother.
Is she a patient here?
No, nothing like that. She’s in prison.
Oh. I’m sorry.
I just came from visiting her– to finally tell her that she has been wrong about me my entire life. I’m not a loser. I am lovable.
[sighs] I thought it was going to be this… Cathartic moment, this triumphant vindication. It turns out it was anything but. [soft chuckle] I don’t know why I’m surprised that that woman still has this uncanny knack to make me feel… utterly worthless and miserable.
[moans, winces]
Chanel, are you okay?
[deep breathing] Huh?
Chanel.
Are you okay?
Chanel, baby, what’s wrong?
It’s okay. I’m fine. I– [scream]
Oh! Chanel! Baby, what is it? What? [suspenseful music] [soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”
There is nothing going on with Theresa and me. As a matter of fact, just the other day we– we talked about how we just need to focus on co-parenting Tate.
Well, I assume there was some reason you needed to talk.
Yeah. Uh, there–there was. Something happened.
Something?
[sighs] Yes. Look, we’d been getting closer because of what we’ve had to go through with Tate and, uh, there was um– a moment. We had a moment.
A moment?
Yeah.
That was all?
Yeah. I know it was just a moment. It was only a moment because right after the moment, Theresa said, “I want to be with Alex.” [soft dramatic music]
Mm. And, Brady, look at me. What do you want?
That is a big rock.
It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
Oh, it is. Looks like you spent a huge chunk of Victor’s money on it.
Well, Theresa’s worth it.
Aw.
[soft chuckle] When did all this happen? I mean, the proposal. That’s–
Yeah.
Sorry.
No, no. It’s last night. [phone ringing]
Oh. Oh, that’s my dad. I texted him earlier. I want to tell him the good news, so I’ll be right back, okay?
Okay. [sighs]
So have you told your father?
Actually I did have a bit of a conversation with him right before I popped the question.
I mean Justin.
So should I start licking?
Excuse me?
I was talking about the invitations, obviously– the envelopes, specifically.
Yes, right. [chuckles] No. I’m taking these to my mom’s house because she has the entire family’s addresses in this very old handwritten, very battered book. And Bonnie said that she would help me stuff the envelopes, so–
[snarls]
You get to stay here with our very adorable teeny tiny.
Oh. Well, that would be an honor and a privilege.
She’s very lucky to have such a great dad.
I’m the lucky one. Hey, say hi to your mom for me.
I actually shall.
Oh, did I mention the chat I had with her yesterday?
Mm-mm.
I was just telling her how much I hated Konstantin for everything he did to her and Uncle Vic and Victoria and everything. And, I have to say, her response– it threw me.
What’d she say?
Oh, she was telling me that I was a lot like Victor, and that maybe because he saw so much of himself in me, that’s why he was so hard on me.
Oh, God. I slobbered all over you.
No. It’s okay. Here.
You’re being very nice. Thank you.
Well, I have been told I have an excellent bedside manner.
You’re a doctor.
Is it the stethoscope that gave it away? Mark Greene.
Leo Stark. Wait a minute. Dr. Mark Greene, like on “ER.”
I guess having that name and watching that show made me think there was no choice but to go into medicine.
Oh, boy. So you are all that, and you’re a doctor. I had a doctor boyfriend once. He was much older, and he was married to a woman. TMI. Sorry.
No. It’s okay.
Look, I may have slobbered on you, but I want you to know I was not drooling or anything. I mean, since you told me the other day that you’re not gay.
Did I say that?
Yeah, you did. Why? Is it not true?
Maybe we should get you to a hospital. And I’ll– I’ll call Dr. Greene.
No, no, no. We don’t need to do that. I think it’s just bad– [hisses] Cramps.
Could it be indigestion? Johnny, do you have any of those oyster crackers on you?
Yeah, yeah. They’re in– there in Chanel’s bag.
Oh.
[panting] It’s fine. I–I think it’s fine now.
Oh, no. You just keep these close by just in case. Oh. Oh, I remember when I was pregnant with you. My tummy did all kind of loop-de-loops all day long. When Abe gets back from the pub with the food, you’ll feel better.
Yeah. Yeah. I’m in the mood for a burger.
Mm-hmm. I made sure that he ordered extra pickles. Oh, you don’t even have to wait for those. I have a whole jar in the kitchen.
[screams loudly]
Okay, okay. No. Oh. That’s it. We’re getting you to the hospital. Come on.
Oh.
Come on. Come on. [dramatic music]
Oh, my goodness. Oh.
I don’t think my feelings really matter here.
Brady, your feelings always matter.
Well, look. Theresa–Theresa chose Alex. I accepted it, and I’m moving on, and I’d love to change the subject, actually.
Okay. I’m sorry to bring up a topic that’s uncomfortable for you to talk about.
Oh. I appreciate your concern, I really do. It’s just times out of I– I absolutely value your input, but this particular subject, just not right now.
Understood. All right. Well, I am going to go and talk to the people that pay me the big bucks.
You’re worth every penny.
Thanks. I’m always on your side, you know.
I know you are, and I thank you for that. [intriguing music]
[sighs]
Actually, no. I have not had the chance to tell Justin about my engagement to Theresa.
Why not? You know what? Call him right now.
I–I don’t think that’s news that he wants to hear right now.
Why wouldn’t it be?
Well, Justin and I had a bit of a disagreement about my relationship with Theresa.
Oh. I assume that’s because he knows that you found your fiancée, before she was your fiancée, in bed with Brady.
Right. Yeah. And Justin seems to believe that that actually meant something to Theresa– being with Brady, I mean.
Why? Do you think it didn’t–
Oh, I know it didn’t, Bonnie, because I had the conversation with Theresa. And she only did it to make me jealous.
Oh, honey. Look, this might be the pot calling the kettle black, but when a woman is trying to manipulate a man’s feelings, it means she’s really trying to manipulate a man’s feelings.
Okay. Well, Bonnie, I don’t want to have the same talk with you that I just had with Justin.
Honey, he cares about you. He doesn’t want to see you get hurt.
And that’s very kind, but I’m a big boy now.
And you were once Justin’s little boy. Look, I know he’s not your biological father, but that doesn’t change the fact that he has this big love for you in his heart. He is protective of you, and so am I.
Okay. I don’t need protection from Theresa.
Are you so sure about that? Honey, we both know she doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to relationships. And now, honey, you’re not only super hot, you’re also super rich, so come on. Don’t you think you could do better?
[soft chuckle] Really? [clears throat] [soft tense music]
Baby, I know that you’ve been struggling with the fact that you and Victor weren’t close when he died. You know that, deep down, he did love you.
Way deep down.
No. You did get along. What about when he made you CEO of Titan?
Oh. Only to undermine and replace me with Philip? I mean, I suppose we got along when he needed my help with Kristen’s baby– passing her off as your daughter.
Yeah. You only did that because you couldn’t stand the thought of me losing Mickey. And I know how much you’ve regretted that.
Oh, God. And I still do. It’s unthinkable to me now, trying to replace one child with another. I mean, no one could ever replace our precious girl.
No. No, never. And I thank God that I finally came to my senses and told you that Victoria is yours.
Oh, Sarah. When we were together back then, as happy as I was, I was just so worried the whole time that the other shoe was gonna drop. And as close as I felt to Victor back then, I– part of me knew that he was just using me to do his dirty work. So yeah, maybe he did see a bit of himself in me. That’s why he had me do all the terrible things he didn’t want to admit that he was capable of.
You know that that’s not true.
Then why? [soft dramatic music] Why, when he had his last chance to really show me how he felt…
why didn’t he leave me in his will?
You said you weren’t gay. Maybe you’re bi? Bi-curious? Had a crazy night in college?
Hey. We need help. Dr. Greene.
What’s going on?
[moan] I’m having cramps. [breathing sharply] Really, really bad cramps.
Doctor, you need to help my baby.
I’m going to.
she’s been in a lot of pain, and it seems to come and go, but it feels like it’s getting worse.
Okay. Let’s get you into another room and take a look, okay?
[moans] [screams]
Oh!
Oh. So how is it now?
It’s–it’s still pretty bad, but it comes and goes, like Johnny said.
Miss Price, uh, I need you to step outside for a few minutes.
Wh–what? No. I’m staying– I’m staying right here. I’m not going to leave her here alone.
I am here, Paulina, okay?
Mama, please, please.
Oh. Okay, okay, okay, okay. I’ll be right outside the whole time. You holler if you need me. [soft dramatic music]
[winces, moans]
Let’s see how your baby’s doing, okay?
Okay. Okay. [moans] I have– I was trying to hold it together in front of my mom, ’cause I don’t want to worry her, but– but something is happening to me, Doctor. I’m scared. I’m really, really scared.
Hey, hey. I’m here. I’m here, okay? Everything is gonna be fine, I promise.
[breathing heavily]
Oh, Dr. Evans.
Oh, Leo. Do we have an appointment?
No, not today. And I swear, I didn’t know you were gonna be here. I absolutely respect your ” I can only help you maintain your fragile grip on your sanity during scheduled times” policy.
Leo, it’s all right.
No, it’s not. We have an appointment scheduled tomorrow. I can find a way to white knuckle it until then. [soft dramatic music]
Okay, fine. I’ve got a few minutes before my next patient arrives.
Really? Are you sure?
I’m sure, I’m sure. Let’s do this.
Theresa. I meant to tell you how good you look today.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Huh. I meant to tell you how embarrassed you look right now. Anyone want to tell me why it’s suddenly okay for Bonnie to trash-talk me behind my back?
Well, it’s nothing I wouldn’t say to your face.
Aw.
Justin has some concerns, that’s all, about you–
About you and me being together, and I just told Bonnie that whatever concerns they may have, I trust you wholeheartedly. And I’m committed to spending the rest of my life with you.
Thank you, Alex.
Of course.
[sighs] But you, Bonnie, I don’t understand the sudden . If I recall, it was just recently you were very supportive of my involvement with Alex.
Well, yeah. That was before I had the discussion of your involvement with him with my husband.
Oh. I see. Great. Okay. So Justin has turned you against me.
No. He’s just protective of his son. I mean, Alex. I–[inhales] You know, on a happier note, wedding bells will be ringing throughout this house for lots of people. In fact, Sarah’s on her way over so I can help her send out her wedding invites.
Oh. That won’t take too long. [soft chuckle] I just meant that it’s probably a really short list since Xander doesn’t really have many friends. [chuckles]
[sarcastic chuckle] Yeah. Well, on his side, it might be a little light, but I’m sure a few of us won’t mind moving over just to fill the void. Besides, I want to rub elbows with the mother of the groom.
What?
Yes. Sarah has her heart set on inviting Xander’s mother to the wedding.
Well, it’s not like you were singled out to be excluded from Victor’s will. He didn’t leave anyone a penny except for my mom and Alex. And he only left Alex something to make up for the fact that he never acknowledged him as a son.
Right. I understand that I’m not the only person my uncle snubbed, but I don’t know. It really was his last chance to show me that I meant something to him, and I– I can’t believe I’m wasting time grieving the love lost to that old fool. [soft dramatic music]
Well, I do hope that Victoria and I can make up for the things that Victor didn’t give you.
That is a wonderful start.
Is it?
Mm.
We’re gonna have to finish this later, though.
I’ll hold you to that.
Yeah. I really do have to go. But before I do, are you sure that you don’t want to take another shot at trying to find your mom?
That number I gave you from my mom– that was the last one I had for her. I told you that. You know, so maybe let’s just take– take this as fate’s way of saying it’s best I don’t find her.
Look, I– I know that you and your mom have had issues, but I– don’t you–
But you’re super-duper eager for her to be at the wedding. I get it. And it’s understandable that– you want Victoria to know her grandmother. [soft dramatic music]
I just– I don’t want you to be saddled with the same regret that you have about Victor and not mending fences before you lost him.
Maybe there is one other way we could reach my mom.
I thought that Xander lost touch with his mother.
Oh, yeah, he did. That’s why Sarah is trying to, you know, get them to get back in touch, mend fences, if you will. That’s why she wants to invite her to the wedding.
Are they sure that’s a good idea? both: Why wouldn’t it be?
I–I don’t know. I just–[chuckles] heard that she’s a raging alcoholic. I mean, do they want someone like that around their kid?
You know, just because someone has a substance abuse problem, they shouldn’t be shunned. Maybe she’s changed, like you.
Mm.
Mm. Of course, yeah. You’re right. But, you know, I’m kind of concerned for Sarah. You know, what if this woman just shows up and causes a huge scene?
[laugh] Oh, honey. We’re kind of used to scenes around here, especially at weddings, right?
Mm.
Right.
[chuckles]
Theresa, you seem awfully concerned about Xander’s mom showing up in Salem. Something you want to tell us?
[crying] So I went to see my monster of a mother this morning.
You went to the prison?
Isn’t that what you told me to do, so I can quiet her nasty voice that’s been echoing in my head all these years?
Yes, but I meant that would be something that we would work on here in therapy.
Oh. I thought it would be wise to go and do it in person, you know, face to face.
Oh. I guess I didn’t go too well, huh?
No, it didn’t go well. It was a disaster, a calamity, a catastrophe, and a dumpster fire all rolled up into one.
What did she say?
She brought out all her greatest hits. Said I was worthless, unlovable, a degenerate… And that I deserved all of the misery that had befallen me. Befallen, is that a word?
That’s a word. That must have been so hard for you to hear.
[sighs] [somber music] I should have expected it, but still, under the heading of “hope springs eternal,” I guess I hoped that she would take me into her arms and tell me that she had a major epiphany, and that I was the greatest gift God had ever given her. Though, she is a shameless heathen. She never would have invoked God.
You know, just because your mother said those things does not mean they’re true.
Then why does it feel that way when she says them?
Leo. [gentle acoustic music] As children, we depend on our parents just to thrive. If they tell us things, then we believe it, because contradicting anything would– I don’t know–would just jeopardize our own existence. You’re no longer a child. You’re no longer dependent on your mother, so there’s no reason to give her the power over you.
Right. No reason.
Right. You can do anything you like. You can be yourself, you can be proud of yourself, you can even love yourself.
[sighs] Yeah. I’m not a little boy who needs his nose wiped anymore. I can wipe my own nose. I am my own man. [chuckles] And that hunky doctor seemed to think I was worth talking to.
What hunky doctor is that?
[breathing shakily]
I’m just gonna do a quick ultrasound, see if we can figure out what’s going on.
Okay.
Here. [monitor beeping] Felicity’s stuffie.
Yeah. Hey. Everything is gonna be okay, all right? My love, Dr. Greene is taking good care of you and of our little one too.
Okay. [suspenseful music]
Dr. Greene?
I’m very sorry, Chanel. I’m afraid you’ve had a miscarriage.
[gasps]
[gasps] Wait. A miscarriage?
I– I don’t understand. We were just here. You said everything was fine.
Everything did look fine, but that changed, obviously.
So those soft markers that you were telling us about, is that what caused this?
A spontaneous loss like this can happen for any number of reasons, and it’s not unusual. I’m sure this is cold comfort right now, but in pregnancies ends in miscarriage. [somber music]
I’m gonna send a– I’m gonna send a specialist in to examine you, see if I can get you any more answers. Again, Chanel, Johnny, I’m so sorry for your loss.
[sobbing]
So I met this totally gorgeous doctor the other day. But at the time I didn’t know he was a doctor, just this handsome guy out for a run, and he was thirsty. And I happened to have a glass of water to give to him. And it looks like what goes around comes around, because today he found me at the nurse’s station a complete wreck. He took me into his muscular arms, and he comforted me. And he gave me this. Who said chivalry is dead?
Leo, you just met this man.
Oh, Dr. Evans, don’t worry. I’m not getting my hopes up for a romance or anything like that. He told me he wasn’t gay.
I see.
But then he acted surprised when I reminded him that he said that. Do you think maybe he is gay?
Well, I don’t know.
Well, maybe you know him, and maybe you’ve gotten something of a vibe from him–Dr. Mark Greene?
Mark Greene? I’ve heard the name, but I don’t think that I’ve met him.
Maybe you’ve heard some chat about him over at the water cooler?
Well, if there were any chat at the water cooler…
Mm-hmm?
I wouldn’t repeat it–
No.
Nor would I speculate about it.
Okay. Fine. Well, whether he’s gay or not, he and I had a moment, a lovely moment. [chuckles]
I’m so glad to hear that for you, but you don’t know anything about this man, no information at all about him. So I–I think you shouldn’t read too much into this. Leo.
Hmm.
I wouldn’t like to see you get hurt.
Thank you. Unlike my mother, who lives to see me hurt. In fact, I feel like that’s been her goal since I was born, and I will bet she is in her cell right now, gloating over how bad she made me feel this morning.
Why don’t we talk about that during our next session?
Oh, no. Are we out of time?
I’m afraid we are.
All right. So tomorrow, I guess, we can figure out why it is I want love from my horrible mother, who referred to me as a miserable dead loss. She actually called me that.
Leo, you are a very worthwhile human being. I’m especially impressed with your desire to get to know yourself, understand your history, and come to terms with the, well, emotionally abusive mother you had– and your father, from what you told me.
Yes, both of them. Okay. So tomorrow, we will work on getting me to embrace the fact that I am a worthwhile person, as you say.
Yes, we will do that.
Great. Then I will see you tomorrow for our actual session.
I will see you tomorrow. [gentle music]
I’m not so much concerned about Xander’s mother, per se. But look. After what happened here with Konstantin, I think we all need to be a little bit wary about just inviting long-lost family and friends to come over out of the blue.
Okay, I get it. Yeah. But you’re not gonna have to worry about Xander’s mother showing up. The number he had for her wasn’t hers anymore. They just don’t know even how to track her down.
Mm.
Oh. [clicks tongue] That’s too bad.
Mm. Well, at least you don’t have to worry about any surprise guests showing up at our wedding. I’ve already found all my long-lost relatives.
[chuckles]
Yeah. Let’s hope that’s true.
It is true for sure. Anyway, I have to get to work.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye, Bonnie.
Oh. Bye, honey.
Bye.
[chuckles] [tense music]
[sighs] God.
Got it. Hey. You can expect that invitation in the mail. [chuckles, sighs] That long shot paid off.
Who was that?
My mom’s sister, Aunt Maisie. They never got along, so I just didn’t think my mom would be in contact with her.
But she was?
Apparently. Yeah. My mom hit her up for money a few months ago.
Are you kidding?
No. But she didn’t have my mom’s phone number, but she did have her address.
[gasps] [soft dramatic music]
[sighs] [tense music]
[breathing heavily]
Brady.
Hey.
Hey. Man, I’m sorry to hear about last night.
What happened last night?
Uh, the prom?
The prom. Yeah, yeah. I’m sure Theresa told you that we found Tate and Holly in a hotel room–
Mm.
And then Theresa dragged Holly out of said a hotel room. It was–it was lots of fun.
Mm. Especially for the kids, I’m sure.
I’m actually surprised Theresa didn’t call me and let me know what EJ and Nicole’s reaction was to the whole thing.
Well, she was kind of busy last night, partly my fault.
Why is that your fault?
I proposed. [solemn guitar music] Theresa and I are engaged.
Bonnie, thank you so much for offering to help.
Oh, honey.
Addressing these invites is gonna be a lot easier with both of us doing it.
I am so happy to assist, and your mom already gave me her address book.
Okay. Well, we just have to add one more address to it.
Okay. Whose would that be?
Xander’s mom.
[sighs] Ooh! – I know. We managed to track her down after all.
Oh. [chuckles]
I’m very excited. [laughter]
It’s exciting. Okay. Let’s see.
Hey, little one. Did you hear all that? Apparently there’s a chance now that you’re gonna meet your Grandma Cook. Oh, look at that big smile. You’re excited about it, huh? [soft tense music] I’m afraid that makes one of us.
Part of being a doctor, I know, delivering bad news, but to tell these two that they lost their baby, and so soon after I told them everything was fine. You always know the right thing to say. Same here. See you tonight. [phone beeps]
[clears throat]
Oh. Hey, Leo.
Dr. Greene, I was hoping I’d run into you so I could return your hankie.
Forget it. Keep it.
Thanks. I’m sorry to hear you had to deliver bad news. So was that a friend on the phone? A significant other? I’m sorry. That’s none of my business.
No. It’s okay. It was my girlfriend, actually.
Girlfriend, right, of course. [melancholic music]
I better get going. Excuse me.
Okay.
[sighs] Well, that answers that.
[sobbing]
Oh. Dr. Greene said I could come back in. Well, what happened? [dramatic music]
We lost the baby.
What?
[sobbing]
Oh, no. Oh, my God. Oh, oh. How–how did that happen?
It happened because of what you did. This is all your fault.
