THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
[soft dramatic music]
Kayla, what is taking so long? I mean, you gave that serum to Sarah hours ago.
I know, Maggie. I’m sorry. It’s just, I wish I could give you a clear timeline, but I can’t because the drug is so–so experimental. There’s no way to predict when it will actually take effect.
Kayla. Kayla, why–why haven’t you returned any of my messages? I mean, my God, since I was the one to provide the serum for Sarah, the least you could do is tell me if it worked. [sighs]
When I put Victoria to bed last night, she kept saying “Mama” over and over and over again.
Mm. Sounds like she’s missing me as much as I’m missing her.
Of course she is. I also think it was a protest against me being the one to tuck her in.
Mm. Did you sing her a lullaby?
I sang her eight lullabies.
Well, that explains it. She probably thought you were torturing her.
What’s wrong with my singing voice? [scoffs] You never heard my rendition of Britney’s “Hit Me Baby One More Time.” I mean, it crushes at karaoke.
They just like the skirt, hon.
It’s my amazing singing voice they like. I’ll give you–give you a performance right now.
Uh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Just because I am stuck in this bed does not mean that I will not call for help. [chuckling]
Well, hopefully you won’t be stuck in this bed for much longer.
[sighs] I don’t know, baby. And Kayla gave me the serum yesterday, and I just don’t feel anything. What if it doesn’t work?
[mellow music]
Ava. Want some coffee?
No, thanks.
Are you sure? Hey, it’s my treat.
I can buy my own coffee.
OK. I may be nuts, but I’m sensing a real frosty vibe here. Did I do something wrong?
No, but your jackass of a son certainly did.
Mr. Nugent, he picks up Jared’s phone, and he reads his entire text chain out loud.
No way! Are you kidding me?
Yes, the eggplant emojis and all.
Wait, what did Jared do?
He said he was just sharing his mom’s eggplant parm recipe.
Oh, my God. [giggling] I missed this.
Missed what?
Just us hanging out together.
Me, too. I didn’t think we’d get a second chance.
Or third or fourth. [chuckles] I stopped keeping count.
Yeah. [chuckles] Same.
I’m just so relieved that we don’t have to hide our relationship from our parents anymore.
I don’t know. I mean, there was something a little exciting about all the sneaking around.
Well, sometimes, but it’s so much better not having to hide how I feel about you and being able to do stuff like this whenever I want.
Well, certainly didn’t take long. [soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”
So why did you call my son a jackass?
‘Cause I’m a lady, and I don’t want to say what I really think.
OK, well, how about you elaborate on that, please?
Sophia Choi came to see me last night. She was a total wreck. She was hurt, and she was humiliated.
I’m sorry. Did my son break up with her or something?
No, she dumped him.
How does that make him a jackass?
Because the reason that Sophia dumped him is that while they were in bed together, he called her Holly.
So predictable. The second we break up, you go running back to her.
Sophia, I just–
You really know how to make a girl feel special.
Let me just say, I swear, I really did not mean to hurt you. It wasn’t my intention at all.
Whatever. It’s fine. I wish you two lovebirds all the best. But, Holly, just a heads-up– when you finally do give it up for him, don’t be surprised if he calls out my name.
What?
OK, um, just, let’s– let’s go.
Kristen, I didn’t return your phone calls because I am not at liberty to update you on Sarah’s condition. You are not family.
Uh, hello? Didn’t I just point out that I was the one who provided the miracle drug? I mean, don’t you think that I– I have the right to be kept in the loop?
Actually, no, I don’t.
I got this. You know what? There’s been no improvement yet.
Nothing? Really?
Well, on the most recent test, there has been no evidence of a reduced swelling around Sarah’s spine.
OK, well, has she tried walking yet?
No. No, we haven’t pushed that because we don’t want to further her injury.
OK, no offense, Kayla, but that drug, there is no need to be cautious. You gotta take the bull by the horn, and that is exactly what I am going to do.
Oh!
Don’t! Don’t.
Well, this is the last thing that Sarah needs. I mean, that woman is a lunatic.
Yes, she is. But Xander is in there, and he can handle her. Yes, she did hand over the serum with no strings attached, so I’m willing to give her a certain amount of grace.
You are a very good woman, Maggie.
Yeah, well, be careful what you say, because if Kristen has got Sarah’s hopes up for nothing, I’m going to tear that Jezebel from limb to limb.
You are going to walk again, Sarah. I–I feel it in my soul. We just need to give it some time, yeah? [door clicks]
All right! Come on, you two. Let’s get the show on the road.
Wait a minute. What the hell are you doing?
All right. Make yourself useful, Xandy, and you grab that arm. I’m going to grab this one.
What? Wait, what? What? What’s happening?
All right, on the count of three, you get over there. We’re going to hoist you to your feet.
Kristen, stop! What the hell do you think you’re doing? [dramatic music]
Whoa. That’s a pretty big piece of cake you got there.
Don’t judge me, OK? I’m rewarding myself.
For what?
For not committing murder right here in the square.
OK. What happened?
Oh, you haven’t heard the good news? Tate and Holly are back together.
All right.
Huh, awesome. Thank you.
So, that was pretty awkward, huh, running into Sophia like that.
Yeah. Yeah, it was.
I kind of feel bad for her. I mean, she’s obviously really hurt. But still, what she said, that was just weird and harsh, saying not to be surprised if you, like, call out her name while we’re in bed? Does she really think she has that much of a hold on you? [soft dramatic music]
Uh, that’s not what she meant. She said that because that’s what I did to her.
Oh, man. Tate, he did that? He actually–
Yes, Tate did that. He actually, yeah, called her Holly while they were in bed, which means he’s obviously not over her. So why did he string Sophia along?
Ava.
Hmm?
I–I know that he didn’t mean to do that. I think he was trying to give their relationship a shot, and I think he felt like he owed it to Sophia.
Because they slept together, which shouldn’t have happened if he was hung up on someone else.
I don’t disagree with you at all, but he’s a teenager.
Oh. Oh, OK. That’s a good excuse. Yeah.
No, no, no. Hold on.
Wait, wait, wait. Hear me out. It’s not an excuse, OK? But you can’t expect Tate– he’s a teenager– to be completely self-aware and make the most mature decisions when it comes to his love life. Hey, we’re not teenagers anymore, and I think we’ve screwed up in that department a couple times. What do you think? Try to deny it, please. Hmm?
[laughs]
Hmm?
OK.
OK.
I can’t. I can’t. OK, I’m sorry, but I’m just– oh, man, I am upset because Sophia’s heart is really broken.
And I’m upset at the fact that he hurt her that way. I have to admit, I feel like I maybe should have been a little more observant in that situation, seen that coming. But I–I’ve been a little distracted with what’s going on with Sarah.
Understandable. And I–I am sorry. It is not your fault, whatever happens between Tate and Sophia. I know it’s not your fault. And I’m sorry that I just lashed out on you. Sorry.
It’s OK. You care about her, and I get it.
Yeah. OK, all right. Change the subject. All right, Sarah.
[sighs]
Yeah. You said that Kristen handed over the serum. So, is it working?
Last I heard, she received the final dose. So now it’s just a matter of waiting and hoping for the best.
Damn it, Kristen! Stop! Get your hands off of her!
Why are you yelling at me? I’m just here to help.
What, by forcing her to walk before she’s ready? How the hell is that helping?
All right, why are you wimping out about this?
OK, that’s enough.
Mm-hmm. I need you to listen to me. If you want to walk again, you need to push yourself. Show some gumption, some courage! Now put your feet on the floor and get on with the business of living.
Hey, hey. Thank you so much for the deranged pep talk. But as you heard my wife say, we are good, and you’re out of here. Come on.
You’ve got to challenge the body. I am telling you, Sarah. If you–the serum works! You just have to push yourself. What are you so afraid of?
Thanks for stopping by. [door slams] [intense music]
I don’t understand. I was just talking to Holly yesterday, and she said that you and Tate were a couple.
We were–for, like, five seconds.
OK, what happened?
What happened is he went running back to his true love, Holly.
Just like that?
Pretty much. Your bestie is a real prince of a guy.
I don’t get it. I don’t get it. I really thought Tate was into you.
Me, too. But then his real feelings for Holly came out in the worst possible way at the worst possible time.
Oof. What do you mean?
Take a wild guess.
Oh, no.
Oh, yes.
[scoffs] You’re joking, right?
I wish.
You actually said my name out loud while you guys were– oh, oh, my God. Wow. How did she react?
How do you think? I mean, she completely freaked out and basically told me to go to hell and stormed out.
Wait, when you came here last night, I kind of assumed you were the one who broke up with her. Are you saying it was the other way around?
Yeah, it was. Why does that matter?
Well, it matters because now I’m wondering if you only got back together with me because things were over with Sophia. [soft dramatic music]
So Kristen thought she could just hoist you up onto your feet, and somehow your legs would respond?
That’s exactly what she thought, yes. And then she accused me of being a wimp for not going along with her very brilliant theory.
Yeah, I had to drag her out of the room before she did any more damage.
I don’t get it. Kristen never has given a damn about anybody but herself. Why does she care so much about your recovery?
I don’t think she does. I think it’s because she cares about Brady. She wants the serum to work so she can score points with him.
Sarah’s a really good person. I’m really hoping that serum works for her.
Yeah. Me, too. Hmm. OK.
OK.
[chuckles]
Oh, wait, wait, wait. No, no.
No, it’s–
No, my treat, remember?
OK.
And listen, I am sorry that I got a little defensive about the Tate and Sophia situation, but you need to know that I think it’s really sweet that you’re so protective of her.
Well, like I told you, she reminds me of me. You know, she may act all strong and confident, but she’s just hoping people don’t see how insecure and vulnerable she really is.
[chuckles]
Anyway, again, I am sorry, again, for lacing into you. I mean, it’s not your fault that your son did something that’s, I guess, just a typical, stupid teenage thing to do? Mm.
Yeah, yeah. Hey, nothing to forgive. She was hurt. You were protective of her. I can understand why that would upset you.
Yeah, well, thank you for understanding. So, um, you and me, we’re–we’re good? We’re still friends?
Oh, psh. We’re–yeah, we’re good.
Yeah?
Yeah?
Yeah.
‘Cause it’s–it’s really important to me, and especially right now, that, um– look, I– [sighs] I really hope this doesn’t sound like– like I’m feeling sorry for myself or anything. I just–ugh. You know, look, I know how lucky I am. I’ve got a job. I got a roof over my head. And I just– I’ve just kind of been going through a rough time. You know, I miss my son. I miss a lot of things. [chuckles] And, um, it just means a lot that I have your friendship. I’m very grateful for you.
Oh, I’m grateful for you as well.
[chuckles]
Come here. [chuckles]
Mm. [door clicks] Oh.
[sighs] Well… [chuckles] What is going on here?
[sighs]
So you think, in Kristen’s warped logic, that she stands a better chance with Brady if he sees that she not only hands over the serum to you, but also gets you up on your feet?
Exactly. And no harm done, as you said.
Actually, I think–
What, darling?
Well, I think that– I don’t know–Kristen might have helped a little bit. Just the idea that I should push myself, maybe– maybe it’s not a bad idea.
Sarah, are you– are you sure about this?
Yeah. Yeah, I am, I– I’ve always thought of myself as fearless. So, it’s time to push the fears aside now.
Honey, there is a difference between fearless and reckless.
I know. I’m going to be OK. Help me do this, please?
All right. But no, I’m not going to let you fall, no matter what.
Yeah.
Kayla?
OK.
OK, that’s it. [suspenseful music]
Yeah, OK. That’s it. That’s it.
[chuckles]
Let’s try it.
Mm-hmm.
That’s it.
Yeah?
That’s it.
[chuckles] [yelps]
It’s OK. I’ve got you. I’ve got you, darling.
Damn it.
[sighs]
And then I told him it was over and got the hell out of there.
Damn!
Yeah.
Wow. I can’t believe Tate did that. He must have freaked out right after it happened.
How do you think I felt?
Oh, of course. No, way worse.
[sighs] God, I hate my life.
It could be worse, you know?
How?
Well, your brother could be sitting in jail for attempted murder.
Wait. What? Your brother is in– oh, my God. That’s crazy.
Yeah, and that is so not even the full story. My family is incredibly screwed up right now.
Well, I have nowhere else to be. So, lay it on me.
Holly, you weren’t, like, my backup plan or anything like that.
OK, well, can you see why I might think that?
Yes, but I meant every word that I said last night. All I ever wanted was to be with you. You know, from the first time I met you in the park, it’s been you and only you. I think about you all the time, like when I’m in class or I’m studying, playing lacrosse. Holly, you are everything to me. So I hope you believe me.
I do. I do believe you. Because you’re everything to me, too, Tate.
[chuckles]
Do you want to go up to my room?
Nothing’s going on, Kristen. You walked in on a friendly hug.
Oh, I didn’t know you two were friends. Hmm?
Well, we are.
Oh, ho, ho. Well, what interests do you two share?
Not that it’s any of your business, but we actually just like to talk. OK?
OK, fine. Whatever. You know what? I’m glad I ran into you. I was at the hospital, checking in on Sarah.
How’s it going? I mean, is there any progress now that she’s taking the serum?
No, no, no, not yet. Dr. Rolf, I mean, he is very confident that it will be successful, but that is if, uh, Sarah has the right attitude.
All right, I think I should probably go over there later today to check things out–
You know, Brady, I really think you should go over now. Sarah seems really down and somewhat defeatist, and that’s not good, obviously. You mean a lot to her, Brady. I think it would make a difference if you go and encourage her to have the right attitude, positive attitude, right?
I agree. I agree. I’m gonna do that. I should–I’m gonna go now.
OK.
Thank you.
I’ll see you around.
OK. You know where to find me. And I should get to the bistro. Yeah, seeing that your brother has skipped town, now I run the place.
Sorry.
Excuse–
Yeah, you’re not going anywhere. [tense music]
Well, that was a huge fail. I couldn’t even take a step.
Honey, you took a shot. I just hope you didn’t hurt yourself.
I’m fine, physically. Emotionally, I’m drained. [sniffles] I’m just–I’m– I’m worried. I feel like I’m letting Xander down.
What? Why would you say that?
Because ever since he found out that his mom caused the accident, it’s just like, whenever he looks at me, he has all this guilt in his eyes that somehow, it’s his fault.
Well, it isn’t. Of course it isn’t.
No, I know. And I keep trying to persuade him to that, but– I don’t know. I just– I feel like the only way that he’s going to let go of the guilt is if I walk again, and… [soft dramatic music] I don’t know. I just– I’m worried that if I don’t make a full recovery, then– then he won’t, either.
Oh. [elevator dings] [kettle thunks loudly]
Xander, are you OK?
Yeah, I am. I’m good.
Look, um, I ran into Kristen, and she told me about the serum and that it hasn’t worked yet.
No, it hasn’t. Sarah’s still paralyzed, despite Kristen’s best efforts to drag her out of bed and force her to her feet.
She didn’t tell me that part.
Yeah. I was going to throw the woman out of a window, but Sarah thought maybe she had a point, that it might be important for her to push herself. So when Kristen left, we gave it a go.
So, Sarah, she tried to walk?
Yeah, I boosted her to her feet. And then Sarah promptly collapsed into my arms.
Sorry. That must have been hard. But it may still work. I mean, it hasn’t been a long time yet.
No, no, no. It’s just so hard watching Sarah go through this. And if I could trade places with her, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
Sarah doesn’t deserve this. And I, um– I’m really sorry for both of you.
No, Brady. I’m sorry.
Is there a problem, Kristen?
Yes, there sure as hell is if you are moving in on Brady.
Oh, for God’s sake.
What? What? Is that so far-fetched? I mean, come on, Ava. [laughs] I mean, you have this nasty little habit about going after other women’s men. I mean, what, Kayla, Gabi– although going after your friend’s man is just a little extra low.
Oh, Kristen. You didn’t get the memo. You and I, we are no longer friends, especially after you betrayed my trust and then you fired me from DiMera.
Oh, my God. I do not have to defend myself to you, Ava. Gabi gave me no choice. And, you know, I saved your life once, as you may recall. [laughs] So you might want to show me a little more respect and not throw yourself at the man I love.
Kristin, I wasn’t throwing myself at him. We were talking. You know, talking? It’s what friends do. They talk. And then you saw us hugging. He was comforting me by giving me a friendly hug because I was upset about somebody I care about whose heart happens to be broken. OK?
Fine.
Do you get that?
Fine.
Great.
I get it.
Fantastic.
I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it, Ava. Listen, I mean, you can’t blame me for asking.
[laughs] You call that asking? That was threatening.
Oh, please! I was just doing my due diligence. I mean, I just assumed that since Stefan left town, that you– you were looking for another home to wreck.
[laughs] This from the woman who wrecks lives. Oh, Kristen, you know what? There is no home to wreck because you and Brady are not together.
[laughs] Technically, no, but we do share a child. And, you know, since I generously gave over that serum, it’s just a matter of time before we find our way back to each other.
Really? Not what I heard.
What is that supposed to mean?
And since my brother is basically headed for prison, I’m pretty much going to be watching after Felicity and myself.
Oh, my God, Aaron, I’m so sorry. And your mom, could she really still be alive?
I don’t know. At this point, I would just rather not get my hopes up.
I can’t believe you had all this going on, and I was rambling about my stupid love life. Your situation is, like, , times worse.
I guess.
You guess? No, of course it is. I feel so bad for you. So, here. You need this more than I do.
[laughs] Did it help with your heartbreak?
Not even a little.
[sighs] Mm.
[chuckles]
Holly, you know, we just– just got back together. We don’t have to rush things.
Yeah, I know, but we were heading in that direction before we broke up, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but here’s the thing. I–I don’t want to make any mistakes with you. You mean so much to me. And I want to do this right every step of the way.
So, you’re OK with waiting?
Yes, of course I am. ‘Cause then, when we finally are together, I– I want it to be really, really special. And besides, I want to take you out, like, on a proper date. You know, we’ve only even ever had one of those? It was like a year ago, New Year’s Eve.
It was also a disaster.
Yes, exactly. So this is our chance to start fresh. I want to buy you dinner. I want to take you to a movie. Hey, who knows? Maybe even take you dancing.
Dancing?
Yeah, do all the normal couple things.
OK. Yeah, I guess I could get behind some normal couple things.
Good. Me, too. Then, once we’ve done all that, then we’ll see what happens. That sound OK to you?
That sounds perfect. [chuckling]
Do you want the last piece?
I’m good, thanks.
Yeah.
Did it help at all?
[laughs] You know what? It actually kind of did, although I think talking to you is really what helped.
Good. Good, I’m glad.
I should–I should go study.
You should. But do you want to?
What do you mean?
Well, I mean, you could go study, or you and I could go do something fun.
[clears throat] [stammers] You want to hang out with me?
Why wouldn’t I?
I don’t know. We’ve known each other since the third grade, and you’ve never asked me to hang out before.
Well, we’ve never had anything in common before, and now we do– both of our lives suck.
[laughs] Um, I guess you have a point. So, uh, what do you want to do?
Well, I heard they dropped the first episode of that “Body and Soul” reboot, so we could go to my place and watch that.
You want to watch a soap opera?
I’ve seen the promo. There’s a lot of hot girls in it.
Sold.
[chuckles]
What?
[laughs] I can’t concentrate. Come on.
Me neither.
Why don’t we take a break and do something else?
Like what? [soft music]
What are you doing?
* Are you with me? *
Dance with me.
[laughs] Right now?
Yeah.
* Driving down this highway *
‘Cause if we cross this off our list, we’ll be one step closer to seeing what happens.
[chuckles] I’m down with that.
* This feeling inside, I’ve searched far and wide * * Now is the time for the ride * * Are you with me? * [soft music]
What the hell did that snide little comment mean? What did Brady tell you about me?
Oh, you know what? Forget it. Forget I said anything.
No, no, no. We’re not going to forget that he said anything. [mocking laugh] No, what did Brady tell you?
Oh. Well, he told me why you gave Sarah the serum, that, um, he said if you didn’t, then there’d be zero chance of the two of you ever getting back together again. So then when I pointed out that you might be expecting a future with him, he said he never made you any promises.
[laughs] Damn it. Why? Why? Why would Brady share our business with you?
Oh, because we’re friends, as we told you, and friends confide in each other. So, as, uh, one former friend to another, I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you. [laughs]
Mm. [sighs]
I’m sorry for so many things, Brady, obviously. But blaming you for Sarah’s accident, that’s very high on the list.
Xander, you were going through hell, and you were angry. And you needed to lash out, and I– I get it. Besides, the last time I looked, I’m still in one piece, so no harm done.
Of course there was harm done. And yet you have been extremely kind to us, Brady, especially going out of your way to get us that serum.
Sarah deserves to walk again.
Yes, she does. But you’ve been instrumental in giving us a chance to make that happen. And I’m just so grateful. And to prove it, I’d– I’d like to offer you your job back at Basic Black.
Really?
If you’re still interested, that is.
[laughs] Yes, I am interested. I will–I will take you up on that. Thank you.
Of course. The least I can do, especially since you were also the one that got Kristen to drop her demands for Titan.
That was more of a miracle than we’re hoping the serum will be. Frankly, Xander, I’m surprised that you even considered her deal.
Well, you know I spent most of my adult life wanting to be CEO of that company, but… I would give up everything if it meant Sarah could walk again. The serum is– it’s our last chance. If this doesn’t work, then I just don’t–
Hey, hey, hey. It’ll work. You hang in there. It’ll work.
Will you do me a favor? Will you go check on Xander? Just make sure he’s OK?
Of course. But you need to get some rest.
Yeah, I will. I’m actually kind of hungry. Will you–will you bring me my tray? It has–I’m going to have that last little bit of fruit salad.
Of course.
Thank you.
OK, here we go. Here we go. Wait a minute. I– [clattering]
Ah! Oh, my God.
Oh, no. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. No, it didn’t spill.
No, Mom. Oh, my God. I felt that. I actually felt that when the water bottle hit my leg. I felt that. [suspenseful music] [laughs]
Oh.
