THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
[siren wailing] [soft music]
Chad, how’s the City of Light?
It’s hard to complain about Paris.
Well, especially when you’re there with someone you love, huh? Yeah, Julie told me you took Abigail on a little impromptu trip.
Yeah, thought it might spur some memories.
Oh, so how’s that going? Did anything come back to her?
Nothing concrete.
Oh, well… she remembered something, then, huh?
Look, Steve, I appreciate your concern, but I know why you’re calling. You’re still suspicious of Abby, aren’t you? [dramatic music] [romantic accordion music] ,::,
Hey, Mark, it’s me. I have news.
Chad and I are getting married. – Wow. That was fast.
I know. I didn’t expect it to come together so soon, but I– I know how high the stakes are. Every time I think about Mom, I just– mm, I don’t have to tell you that everything I’m doing, all of this is for Mom. [suspenseful music]
Kristen has a cure for Sarah’s paralysis? An actual cure?
Well, I didn’t believe it at first either.
Well, what about the swelling on the spine? The doctors–
Every specialist I talked to agrees with the doctors at University Hospital that… Sarah’s chances of walking again–
Are remote. I know. So what does Kristen know that the doctors don’t?
It’s not what. It’s who–Wilhelm Rolf.
That lunatic? He really has something that can help?
Yeah, apparently, it’s some kind of serum, but Kristen will give it to us–for a price.
[laughs] So what is the price?
[sighs] She demanded that we get the charges against Brady dropped. [dramatic music]
Oh. [siren wailing]
[sighs]
How are you holding up?
Hey, I’m fine. But I assume by the look on your face, you heard that I made a deal with the DA, right?
Ten years. I know.
Don’t worry about it. I mean, by the time I’m released, Sarah’s still gonna be in her wheelchair. So if you’re here to talk me out of it, Eric, it’s not gonna–
No, Brady. I’m here to talk to you about you and Fiona.
[echoing] Was Fiona the hit-and-run driver? Did you know that Brady and Fiona were sleeping together? Fiona and Brady were together the night of your accident.
No. No, it can’t be.
[tires screeching] Oh, my God. [door clicks open]
It was you.
Sarah? What are you talking about?
I know. I finally remember who was driving that night. It was you.
[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”
Sarah, dear, are you just waking up from a nightmare? Because I can’t imagine–
I know it was you. I’ve never been more sure of anything.
Oh, you’re confused. I mean, first you remembered Brady hitting you, and then you said you didn’t.
I never remembered seeing Brady. I made that up so that Xander wouldn’t kill him. I–I told you that.
Right. But just because you don’t remember seeing Brady driving doesn’t mean he wasn’t. And how on earth could I have anything to do with your accident? [chuckles] And where on earth would you even get such an idea?
From Eric Brady. He was just here. He told me that he spoke to the waiter that served Brady that night and that you– you were with him. You were together at the bar. [dramatic music]
Fiona. OK. OK, I guess you heard about me and her too.
I did. And I can understand why you’d want to keep that under wraps.
Look, when I met her, I didn’t know who the hell she was. She was in a bad place. I was in a bad place. I just–I just wanted someone to talk to at the time.
Brady, I don’t care about that. What I do care about is the night of Sarah’s accident. When you and Fiona were together, was she drinking too?
Listen, Chad, I didn’t mean to upset you. Buddy, you know, we’re on the same side here.
Well, we’re not, no, not if you keep implying that Abby’s an imposter.
Look, we’re talking about my brother’s daughter. I’m concerned about her and about you.
Well, thank you. But for your information, everything is going great. In fact… Abby and I are getting married.
Listen, it’s great that you convinced Chad to marry you, but I’m glad you called when you did.
Why is that?
I just went and saw Clyde at supermax.
Did you tell him I’m in Paris?
Just listen. There’s something else he wants me to do.
Excusez-moi? May I help you?
Abigail?
Kristen’s delusional. You’re not a DA. You can’t decide whether Brady gets prosecuted or not.
No, but Sarah’s ID is the only real evidence against Brady. Without it, EJ has nothing.
Oh, hadn’t thought of that. So she just wants– she wants Brady free.
Then and only then, Kristen will give us the cure.
Huh, that sounds like an impossible choice for Sarah to make.
No, she already made it. It’s just EJ. He–he won’t have it. All he cares about is nailing Brady, so much so that he’ll send Sarah to prison for perjury if she doesn’t stick by her original statement.
Oh, my God.
So now… Brady will go to prison for ten years. And Sarah may never walk again. [dramatic music] It’s all my fault.
So when you spoke to Fiona, she swore that she was completely sober the night of the accident?
Yeah, she also said she couldn’t talk you out of driving and took a cab home.
Then that must have been what happened.
But, Brady, you remember getting home.
No. No, you know that I don’t.
So I’m guessing that you would remember whether she was drinking or not.
Come on, is it that hard to believe that two people were hanging out at a bar and one was drinking and one wasn’t?
Yes, it is, Brady, especially when those two people are recovering alcoholics. Damn it, Brady, would you just tell me the truth?
All right, all right, look, look. She was drinking that night as well.
OK. Now it’s beginning to make some sense, at least. Your friend is correct. I did tell him I was with Brady that night.
Keep going.
Well, there’s nothing more to tell. Doesn’t mean I had anything to do with your accident.
Then why haven’t you said anything before now?
Well, because I didn’t want Xander to know that I’d been with Brady. Surely, you can understand that, given the bad blood between them.
Mm-hmm, so that’s the only reason that you kept quiet?
[sighs] No. Also, that Xander was already very upset about your accident, and the last thing I wanted to do was to add to his pain.
Or admit that you were the cause of it.
Oh, Sarah, whatever Brady did that night, I had nothing to do with it. Yes, I was at the bar with him. And when I saw how drunk he was, I did everything I could to convince him not to drive, but he insisted. My God, when I found out what he had done to you, that he was responsible for running you over and leaving you there–
He wasn’t responsible!
Sarah, you’re letting Eric Brady put ideas in your head. That man is desperate to save his brother.
It doesn’t mean he is wrong.
He wasn’t there.
I was! I finally remember what happened that night. It was you behind the wheel. I know what I saw, so just admit it, Fiona.
It was you!
You’re getting married? You said you took Abigail to France to spur some memories.
Yeah, and that is what happened. It did spur some memories. You know, she– she remembered, Steve. She remembered how happy we were. She remembered that we were in love, and that is something that I have been praying for for months, you know. And just so you know, this was her idea to get married. You know, she wanted to feel those emotions again. She thought it might help her remember more.
[scoffs] I guess you’re not gonna say you’re happy for us, then.
To be honest, I still have questions. And you should too.
Well, I’m marrying my wife, Steve. I’ll make sure to give Abby your best wishes, yeah?
[romantic accordion music]
I got to go. Do I know you?
Oh, hi. I’m Holly Jonas. My mother is Nicole Walker. She was married to EJ?
Oh, OK, yes. [both chuckle]
I was at the house a while back, and I think I saw you there.
Do you mind?
Oh, of course, no.
I’m so sorry. It’s really hard to keep track of all the not-so-familiar faces.
Understandably.
What a crazy coincidence to run into you here in Paris.
Yeah, my mom, she actually lives here now.
Oh, something that I also knew. Yes, OK, good. I’m here with Chad.
Right. OK, I promise you, I wasn’t eavesdropping, but I think I heard you say you’re getting married?
You did hear that, yes. [both laugh] We’re very excited. It was kind of a spur-of-the-moment decision to– but yes, we are.
Wow. Well, you definitely picked the most romantic city in the world to do it. Congratulations.
Thank you.
But weren’t you saying you’re getting married because of your mother? [suspenseful music]
Yeah, no, it’s probably better that she hung up. How am I supposed to tell her that Clyde wants me to commit murder, to kill the man she’s about to marry?
Hello. Is there something you need?
Hey, Dr. Greene?
Yeah, that’s me.
Uh-huh. Well, one of the nurses told me I could find you here. I’m Steve Johnson, Kayla’s husband?
Right. Forgive me. We met a couple of months ago in her office.
That’s right. Well, listen, my wife speaks very highly of you. As a matter of fact, she told me she trusts you implicitly. So I’d like to ask a favor.
OK.
I know you ran that DNA test for her on my niece, Abigail DiMera.
I did.
Well, I’m– I’m hoping you can run it again. [dramatic music]
[romantic accordion music]
My mother? Oh, yes. I was talking on the phone to my brother, JJ. My mom had a hard time accepting that I was actually her daughter, Abigail.
Wow, that must have been really hard for both of you.
Yeah, you know, it is. I mean, but I want my mother back as much as she wants her daughter back. It’s just, I think, right now, it’s gonna take a leap of faith, you know?
Mm-hmm. And you think getting married is gonna help with that?
I’m hoping that it’ll trigger something, you know. And then maybe all my memories will come back, and though I don’t exactly look the same, my mom will finally be able to realize that I am really her daughter.
Well, that’d be awesome. I really hope it works.
Thank you. Well, I–I really appreciate you letting me sit. It was nice to run into you. I probably got to get going now. I–I have to go buy something to get married in.
Right, of course. Wait. Would you actually mind if I come with you?
Xander, how could this possibly be your fault? Kristen’s the one who expects Sarah to lie, to say she doesn’t remember Brady hitting her.
Except… that wouldn’t really be a lie. [dramatic music]
What do you mean?
Sarah doesn’t really remember who was behind the wheel that night.
But her statement is the reason that Brady is heading to prison. I mean, you said that was the only reason.
We both knew that he was guilty. It’s just, Sarah convinced herself that she had to do it.
She lied to the police?
She felt she had no choice.
[sighs]
Maggie… Sarah made up that story about Brady to– she did it to save me.
Save you? From what?
You remember when you found me in the office with that gun?
[gasps] Oh. And you gave me that line about the company needing extra security because you were now Titan’s CEO?
Yeah.
Ah.
Yeah, I had a feeling you didn’t buy it.
Mm.
It wasn’t true, obviously.
I was gonna use it to kill Brady.
So Fiona lied to me about staying sober. What if she lied about you driving as well?
What? What? What? No, no, no. I woke up in the driver’s seat of the car, Eric, all right? I was the one that hit Sarah. I was the one that left Sarah there. And I was the one that drove home…
Brady.
And passed out, OK? That’s what happened.
I’m not so sure about that. What if–
Eric, that’s what happened.
What if Fiona, she placed you there in the driver’s seat of that car?
What if she pulled a– what if she pulled an Orpheus?
When I close my eyes, I can see you, Fiona. I can see you so clearly.
[scoffs] This is– this just doesn’t make sense. Why are you doing this? You’ve never had a clear memory of what happened.
But I do now. It was you.
Sarah, please.
All this time, you’ve been lying about what you did to me.
This is nothing more than the power of suggestion. Brady’s brother put that idea in your head.
Mm. How did it happen, huh? You must have been drinking too.
No. I was sober. You saw me at your wedding. I had nothing to drink that evening except sparkling cider. That should have told you something.
I was talking about later, damn it, at the bar with Brady. You know, I’m so sick of you stonewalling.
What are you doing?
What do you think I’m doing? I’m calling Xander.
What are you doing?
You can’t do that. You can’t call my son. I’ll lose him. Do you understand? I just got him back in my life.
You hit me with a car, and then you kept going.
If Xander finds out the truth, I will have nothing!
Do you think that I give a damn? [dramatic music]
You have no idea what it was like for me before. I was so lonely, so miserable. And now, after all those years, I finally have a family. I finally have my son.
And his money?
Oh! That is not what this is about.
No, it’s about you running me down in cold blood.
But it was an accident. [sighs] Yes, I was drinking.
But Brady was so much worse, Sarah. He could barely stand on his own two feet. I thought I was doing the right thing.
[scoffs] By driving drunk? Give me my phone back. I am done listening to you.
I never meant to hurt you. Everything would have been OK if I–if I–
I took my eyes off the road for one second, one second. And suddenly, you appeared. I was horrified when I hit you.
Oh, so horrified that you couldn’t speak anymore? That must have been why you didn’t call for help.
No! I heard Xander coming. I knew he would make sure you were taken care of. Sarah, I hate myself for what I’ve done.
Not enough to stop Brady for taking the fall for it.
Xander, you really would have gone that far?
You know I can’t lie to you, Maggie. But I had blood in my eyes.
But Brady.
Look, I know how important he is to you, so this– this is all very difficult to say, but I needed justice for Sarah.
Everyone wanted that, Xander.
She wasn’t gonna get it, was she? Not the way things were going, not unless I did something about it. But then when Sarah found out what I was planning, she– she called the police and told them that she remembered seeing Brady behind the wheel.
She lied to save you from yourself.
I hired somebody to drug Brady. And he went home and passed out, and I went over there with my gun… intent on making it look like suicide.
That’s when the police showed up, right before I could–
Kill him.
I told you that nothing good could come from this desperation for revenge. Damn it, Xander! When I saw you with the gun, I asked you to let it go.
It was already too late. Everything was in motion. If the police hadn’t showed up when they did, I–
I don’t even want to think about it.
Well… it all led to this. Thanks to me, Maggie, Brady is locked up, where he will stay. And Sarah will never get her hands on that cure.
That terrible accident the night that Adrienne was killed, Orpheus, he was the one who ran her off the road. Do you remember?
Yeah. Of course I remember that.
Well, he also had an unconscious Maggie in his car. He put her in the driver’s seat. And when she woke up–
Maggie assumed that she was guilty.
What if Fiona did the same thing to you?
Hey. Any luck?
Oh, I found the perfect dress.
Yeah?
Yes. And look who I ran into.
What? Holly.
Chad, hi.
What are you doing in Paris?
Hey. I’m visiting my mom. Well, full disclosure, we’re kind of having it out right now. Anyway, I was headed to the hotel room to check in my mom booked for me when I ran into Abigail.
What do you mean, a hotel? No, no, no, no. That sounds lonely. Why don’t you–why don’t you stay here with us? I mean, we have plenty of room.
I’m sure I don’t need to tell you, the first DNA test was conclusive.
Yeah, I understand. And I know that this is an unusual ask, but… [sighs] My niece’s return has been quite an upheaval for our family.
I can imagine.
Yeah. So since Kayla was the one who ordered the first test, I thought this might give her and everyone else some peace of mind, you know, end the whispers.
In that case, I’d be happy to, then. You know, I still think we have the original samples in the lab.
Well, you know what? I have new ones. Kayla told me that samples can degrade over time.
Ah.
So since Abigail’s parents are both in Boston, these are from Abigail and her son, Thomas. Just consider them a fail-safe, huh?
I have some time. Why don’t I take these to the lab now?
Would you mind putting a rush on it?
Absolutely. Yeah, I’ll get the results back to you shortly.
Great. [tense music]
Are you serious? I’m not, like, gonna be in the way?
Yeah, is that a good idea, with– with the wedding and all?
I’m probably gonna be in the way.
What do you mean? No, you’re not gonna be in the way. You’re gonna help us. We need a witness for the wedding. And–and… you need a maid of honor. So, Holly, you can serve double duty.
[chuckles]
Do you hate me? [dramatic music]
Xander… I could never hate you. But you are your own worst enemy.
Don’t you see that when you allow yourself to be consumed by this need for revenge, it ends up hurting you and the people that you love?
I know that now. What I don’t know is how Sarah will ever be able to forgive me, let alone if I can forgive myself.
Well, maybe I can help.
I’ll go and talk to Kristen, appeal to her, one mother to another. Maybe I can convince her to give Sarah this cure.
Well, sounds like you’ll be trying to appeal to her heart, but there’s zero evidence that she actually has one.
But I have to try.
Oh, Maggie… seems like you’re always fixing problems I create.
Xander… you know how I feel about you. But this– this, I’m doing for Sarah.
Well, Victoria, looks like another fine mess I’ve got us into.
Think about it, Brady. When Fiona realizes that she hit her own daughter-in-law, she panics. And then she looks over and sees you slumped in a passenger seat?
And, what–and, what– and, what, she drives me home and then drags me and puts me into the driver’s seat of my own car?
Desperation makes people do crazy things.
Fiona wasn’t driving, OK? This is wild speculation, what you’re saying right now.
But you don’t remember getting home. So how can you tell me whether or not she was driving? Damn it, Brady, would you just search your brain, please?
[echoing]
Brady. Brady!
[groans] What’s go–what’s going on?
I think I hit someone.
Oh, my God.
I never wanted Brady to go to prison. How was I supposed to know he’d turn himself in?
He turned himself in because he’s a decent man who wanted to do the responsible thing for something that you made him think he did. [scoffs] That’s obviously a foreign concept to you.
I was certain Brady would be in the clear after his lawyer worked his magic. His confession was useless if he couldn’t remember. But then you– you went and ID’d him.
As a last resort to keep Xander from killing him, which he never would have wanted to do if we didn’t think that Brady was the one driving. Oh, my God. I cannot believe that I told the police that he is guilty. Brady is going to spend ten years in prison for a crime that he didn’t commit. No, I–I can’t let that happen. I don’t care if EJ puts me in prison for perjury. I have to tell everyone what you did. I have to tell them the truth.
No. I’m sorry, my dear. [sighs] But I just can’t let you do that.
Well, that was fast.
You did say to put a rush on it.
So?
The results are conclusive. Thomas and Abigail are a perfect DNA match.
You’re sure?
Yeah, no mistake. The samples were definitely mother and son.
Wow. Thank you, thank you. I really appreciate this. I knew you were the guy to ask.
Anytime. [dramatic music]
Well, what do you know?
Who would have guessed that Kayla and I are not only husband and wife but mother and son?
Just like I suspected. Dr. Greene, you faked the original results.
Whoever that woman is, she sure as hell ain’t Abigail.
OK, Holly’s all settled in the guest room.
Oh. Great.
Is everything OK?
Yeah. Yeah, of course. I mean, I just– I thought it was gonna be the two of us, but–
Yeah, but, you know, I mean, I felt bad, just everything going on with her mother, and… you know, she was gonna go stay in a hotel. So I just–I thought that you would feel the same.
No, yeah, of course. And I was worried about her too. I mean, that’s why I brought her here with me.
Yeah, exactly. Listen. I promise you, tomorrow is gonna be the perfect day. Right? I mean, we’re getting married. How could it not be? Right?
Yeah. Yeah.
Brady, what is it?
I remember. I remember that night.
OK, what do you remember? What do you see?
Fiona–Fiona was in the car.
And I was in the car, but she was behind the wheel.
I remember her saying that she thought she had hit somebody. I remember it now. She said that. I didn’t do it. I didn’t do it. I wasn’t driving the car. I didn’t hit Sarah.
Brother, I’m innocent.
What are you doing?
What I have to do. You’re the only one that knows the truth.
No, that’s not true. Eric knows too. He’s onto you.
He doesn’t know anything. I’m sorry, my dear. You know I’m very fond of you, but you are about to have a terrible accident.
No, damn it. Stop! [both grunting]
[laughs] Someone will find you at the bottom of the stairs. Maybe Maggie. Maybe my son. And they’ll just think– they’ll just think that you lost control of your chair. It’s a pity, really. No one will be the wiser.
Except for me.
