Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sonny: Will, I forgot my– what the hell?

Leo: Hello, sonny.

Abigail: That’s great. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you so much. Hi, so, um, I just got some great news.

Chad: You’re pregnant?

Abigail: No, no. Not yet. No. We’re gonna have to keep trying.

Chad: Well, it’s better than digging ditches. So what’s the great news?

Abigail: Well, you know, I’ve been working on sami’s kidnapping story, and I finally have a solid lead. I think I’m actually getting close to who’s actually behind it all.

Marlena: Belle, I know you’re upset with me, but please call me. We have to talk about this.

[Knocking on door] Oh! Kate.

Kate: Hey.

Marlena: Hello.

Kate: So sorry just to drop in like this.

Marlena: No. I’m always glad to see you.

Kate: Okay. Did you know that will was going back to arizona today?

Marlena: Well, not that it was today, no. That seems rather sudden.

Kate: I know. Anyway, so roman and I are gonna throw him a little going away breakfast, and we were really hoping that you and john could come over.

Marlena: Oh. Well, john’s working, but– let me think, I–oh. I can make that. I’d be glad to be there.

Kate: Okay. Are you all right? You just don’t seem quite like yourself.

Marlena: Oh. I’m a little worried about belle.

Kate: Yeah. Yeah, I heard that she and shawn are having problems.

Marlena: That’s putting it mildly.

Kate: So is she still staying here with you?

Marlena: Well, she was until last night, and then she got upset with us– she got upset with me, and stormed out and hasn’t come home.

Ej: [Chuckles] There’s that beautiful smile. What are you thinking?

Belle: I am thinking that this is the best I’ve felt in a long time and that–

Ej: That what?

Belle: That for the first time since shawn and i separated, as painful as it was, I feel like it happened for a reason.

Ej: Mm-hmm. So you and I could be together like this. And just so you know, when I said you could stay here last night, I swear I didn’t plan for you to wind up in my bed.

Belle: [Laughing] I didn’t either, but I’m glad I did. I’m really glad I did.

Both: Mm-hmm.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Roman: Hey. What happened to you?

Lucas: [Sighs] Ej dimera.

Belle: I can’t believe sami let you get away.

[Echoing] Ej. Ej?

Ej: Oh. [Grunts]

Belle: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you.

Ej: Oh, it’s okay. I should have been up an hour ago. Did you sleep okay?

Belle: Yeah. I slept fine. Um, since I didn’t make it to my parents last night, I was wondering if you thought abigail might have some clothes?

Ej: I have a better idea. I’ll lend you a robe to wear down to breakfast, and we’ll have harold send for your things.

Belle: Oh. No. I’ve, um–I’ve already been too much of an imposition.

Ej: Belle, don’t you know you could never be an imposition?

Sonny: Will. Will, are you okay? You drugged him too, didn’t you?

Leo: I didn’t need to drug him. He couldn’t wait to get out of your bed and into mine.

Sonny: But this is my bed.

Leo: Not anymore. Right, pookie?

Will: Yes, pookie.

Sonny: Ah! Oh.

Will: What? What? What’s wrong?

Sonny: Oh, my god.

[Panting] Oh, my god. I just had the most awful dream that I walked in on you and leo having–in bed together.

Will: I’m sorry. Yeah. That qualifies as a nightmare. Sonny, that’s all it was though. It was just a dream, okay? It’s obviously never gonna happen in real life.

Sonny: I know. I just– I never thought that would happen to me again too, so–

Will: He really did a number on you, didn’t he?

Sonny: I don’t know. I’ve been trying to let it go.

Will: Sonny, he drugged you, and he took degrading pictures of you. Of course you can’t just let it go. That’s gonna take time.

Sonny: I know.

Will: But you know, as crappy as it was, it didn’t– it didn’t change things, right? It didn’t change us.

Sonny: Well, I thank god for that. I just– I can’t help but think he’s not done getting revenge.

Will: Yeah. I know. I mean, he said himself that he had other fish to fry. He has a long list of people he blames for craig leaving him.

Sonny: Yeah. Everyone but himself.

Will: He published those pictures of chad, and he did the same to you. I wonder who he’s going after next?

[Cell phone rings]

Leo: Hello? Yes, I’ll accept the call. Guinevere, thank you for checking up on me. Thanks to your directions, I’ve been able to wend my way through these tunnels. I was very robert donat, very “prisoner of zenda.” Ah, you are a film illiterate. Well, it’s not the ritz, but it beats sleeping on a bench in prospect park. Plus, there are some very nice amenities here at chez dimera. And best of all, your sister is right upstairs.

Abigail: So you know how i said I was gonna find sami’s kidnapper by tracking down the other guy, the one who got away?

Chad: Right.

Abigail: Well, I thought it was gonna be like trying to find a needle in a haystack, but turns out the guy just got arrested in wisconsin on completely unrelated charges.

Chad: How in god’s name did you find that out?

Abigail: [Scoffs] I just–I realized that salem pd stopped looking for him as soon as ej was released. And I reached out to this contact I have in milwaukee to help me track wisconsin arrest reports, and– it was a total long shot, and it paid off. This right here, this is where you would say, “hey, great work, abigail.” And then you’d compare me

Chad: No, it’s–it was grt. You–you found him. But was it worth it?

Abigail: Excuse me?

Chad: I mean, abby, do you really think that this guy’s gonna tell you a different story than the other guy, the one who testified that ej was the one that hired him?

Abigail: I don’t know. I guess I’ll find out. I’m going to milwaukee today.

Chad: No you’re– no you’re not. No matter who you are,

Marlena: So when belle heard that I had agreed to treat jan, she became furious, and she took off.

Kate: [Scoffs] Well, do you blame her? I mean jan is pregnant, and belle’s husband is the father of the baby. For years, jan has tried to kill belle. I mean, most recently, she kidnapped her daughter.

Marlena: I know all that. I do know all about all that, but truth of the matter is that, no matter what jan has done, she does deserve to get good mental health care.

Kate: Well, yeah. But it doesn’t mean that you have to be the provider. I mean, I think this would be the perfect time to make a referral to another qualified professional who perhaps doesn’t have personal ties to the fruitcake who’s trying to ruin your daughter’s life.

Marlena: Maybe so, but I am uniquely qualified to treat jan, and maybe if I can do that, maybe I can end this reign of terror she has against my daughter.

Kate: So you want this more than anything.

Marlena: Oh, I do.

Kate: Hm. Good luck. Although I have to say I think moses leading his people into the promised land was probably easier than you trying to lead jan to mental health.

[Cell phone beeps]

Marlena: Oh. It’s from belle.

Kate: Maybe she stayed with shawn last night.

Marlena: No. She’s with ej.

Kate: [Huffs] Really? I mean, I know that’s none of my business, but do you think something’s going on between those two?

Belle: Okay, I just texted my mom to let her know I’m here so she doesn’t worry. Hopefully, they don’t come storming the gates trying to rescue me.

Ej: You’re a grown woman. You’d think they’d respect your wishes.

Belle: Yeah, you’d think they would, but they don’T. Probably because I’ve been such a constant disappointment to them.

Ej: What? Belle, how could you say that? You’re a successful lawyer. You’re a wonderful wife and mother.

Belle: Oh, please. You know that people can look good on paper, but when you learn about how they got where they are and all of the mistakes they made along the way…

Ej: You mean to tell me you’ve made mistakes? Well, I’m shocked.

Belle: Well, you might be if I actually told you about all of them.

Ej: No, I’m sure I would not be, because I know you as an exceptionally smart, caring, and honest person whom I greatly admire and is too hard on yourself.

Belle: Well, thank you for saying that, but from my parents’ perspective, I think that they haven’t really approved of all the decisions that I’ve made. Like, for example, how I handled my daughter’s mental illness.

Ej: You couldn’t have handled it too poorly. Claire’s doing very well now, from what you’ve told me.

Belle: Oh, yeah. No. She is. Thank god. But I don’t give myself credit for that. You know, I was really in denial for a long time, and I think– I think that caused her and a lot of other people a lot of pain. And I think my mom still holds that against me.

Ej: There you go being hard on yourself again. And do you really think your mother holds that against you, that you didn’t have all the answers in a very terribly difficult situation?

Belle: I don’t know, okay? I just worry that she doesn’t think that I’m capable of making good decisions. And that is why I am here looking so sloppy.

Ej: No, you look beautiful as always.

Belle: Well, it’s definitely not how I want to look when I go crawling back to my parents.

Ej: I’ll ask abigail to loan you something.

Belle: Would you? That would be great. Thank you.

Ej: But first, I would like to ask you a question.

Belle: Okay.

Ej: Belle, do you really want to go back to your parents?

Roman: So you and ej got into it? Couldn’t have possibly been about sami, could it?

Lucas: Ej still thinks that I’m the one who kidnapped her. He’s still pushing that big lie, which is ludicrous, because everybody knows he did it.

Roman: Charges against him were dropped.

Lucas: Yeah, ’cause he’s a dimera, and dimeras don’t ever pay for anything they do. You know that. I mean, what I don’t get is, now that he’s gotten away with it, why doesn’t he just let the matter drop?

Roman: If he got away with it.

Lucas: I think he got away with it; he’s a free man.

Roman: Yeah, but I’m not sure it was ej to start with. I still have a lot of unanswered questions about what actually happened.

Leo: Ugh, can you hear my stomach growling out there in statesville? I need some breakfast to go with this fine bottle of champagne. Mm, I don’t know how long I’m gonna be here. I’m still working out my plan. But when I am through, chad will know exactly how I felt when I lost the love of my life.

Abigail: What do you mean, “no, you’re not going?” Please tell me that was not an order. Please tell me you’re not telling me not to do my job.

Chad: Okay. I’m–I’m sorry. That came out the wrong way. How about–look, how about– can we just talk about it, because I’m worried about you?

[Tense music]

Look, I just got you back from kristen, and now you want to track down some guy who kidnaps women for a living, and for what? The story’s old news. Ej’s out of jail. Sami is out of town. Nobody really cares who kidnapped sami, and ej just wants to move past it all.

Abigail: Has it ever occurred to you that if ej’s innocent that sami could still be in danger?

Chad: Lucas found her months ago, and nothing has happened. And like, what, you’re gonna put your life on the line for a chance at, like, maybe–

Abigail: I’m going to a supervised visitation procedure at a police station. It’s hardly putting my life on the line.

Chad: What if the real kidnapper finds out?

Abigail: Okay. Great. We’re in agreement. Whoever hired these goons could be dangerous.

Chad: Oh–you’re relentless.

Abigail: I am. Yes. And besides, don’t you want to clear ej’s name?

Chad: Yeah, but–

Abigail: Okay, look. You’re not gonna talk me out of this; I’m going to milwaukee. I’m going today. I’m gonna find out the truth.

Chad: Wait. St–just– okay, just listen. Okay, look, you don’t have to go anywhere to find out who really kidnapped sami. I know. It was lucas. With relapsing forms of ms,

Will: Okay, so we know leo’s gonna go after brady and chloe, right, and god knows who else. But the good thing is, the more people he goes after, the more likely it is that he’ll get caught.

Sonny: Well, I don’t know about that. I mean the drugs he gave me were completely out of my system by the time I took my blood test. You know, I–gosh. I just–I hate the way he gets away with things. That’s why I think I went so crazy when I found out about craig wesley, you know. I couldn’t stand him doing what he did to me to someone else and just getting away with it.

Will: Well, he didn’t get away with it, right? You saw to that. You rounded up your band of merry men and women, and set out to free craig wesley and, by god, you freed craig wesley.

Sonny: Now I just got to free myself. I got to get this little creep out of my head.

Will: I think I can help with that.

[Tender music]

Leo: [Sighs] I don’t suppose door dart delivers to secret dungeons when they could barely find craig’s room at the salem inn. I guess I’ll have to go hunt down my own breakfast.

Thomas: Who are you? And what are you doing in my house?

Kate: I don’t know. I mean, don’t you think it’s telling that, of all the people belle knows in salem, she went to ej’s last night?

Marlena: No. No. Belle and ej work together.

Kate: Ah. A business sleepover.

Marlena: They’re only friends, kate.

Kate: Mm-hmm. Well, from what I know of ej, he doesn’t have friends. Predators seldom do.

Marlena: No, trust me. I–I do know that. But belle is in no mood for any kind of advice from either one of her parents.

Kate: Ugh. It would be so much more simple if children just did what their parents said.

Marlena: I can’t even imagine how sami would react if she thought that ej was going after her sister.

Kate: Well, why would she even care? I mean, she’s with lucas now, and they’re very happy.

Marlena: Well, yes. I know they’re happy together, but it would still drive her over the edge if she thought that ej was pursuing her sister, even though ej had kidnapped her, and she was afraid for her life.

Kate: Indeed.

Marlena: I will forever be grateful to lucas for rescuing her from those kidnappers and for the friendship they’ve had all these years, through thick and thin, good and bad, up and down, ever since they were teenagers.

Kate: Yeah. Well, onward and upward, right? Let’s get over to the pub. What do you say?

Marlena: Let’s go.

Kate: Okay.

Belle: No. No. I don’t want to go back to my parents, but I also don’t want to hurt them. You know, they’ve been through a lot too. I just think right now I need to take care of myself and preserve my sanity as much as I can.

Ej: Absolutely none of my business, but I think that’s the right way to go.

Belle: Yeah, it’s the only way to go. So I think I’ll just do what everyone else in salem does when their life falls apart, and I’ll go get a room at the salem inn. I hear they have a very good rate for losers.

Ej: You’re not a loser, belle. You’re a strong woman who’s been put in an impossible position. You’re regrouping.

Belle: Ah. Euphemism for “falling apart.”

Ej: Well, given that your marriage has fallen apart, and in a very unexpected and painful way, I see someone who is dealing with an impossible situation with a great deal of dignity, character. You’re a lot stronger than you think.

Belle: Well, I guess I feel a lot stronger when I know you see me that way.

Ej: I always have.

Belle: Well, in spite of that, you definitely don’t need this, you know, some random, heartbroken woman showing up on your doorstep.

Ej: Damn it, belle. You are not some random, heartbroken woman. You are my friend. Now, I can’t change what’s happened to you. I can’t make your husband stand up to that lunatic woman, and I can’t put that lunatic back in the asylum. But what I can offer you is a guest bedroom, privacy, autonomy, and time to think. As much time as you need.

Belle: Okay.

Ej: Then it’s settled. I’ll tell harold to have your things brought here.

Belle: Ej, I–thank you.

Ej: Think nothing of it. And if you ever question the magnitude of what you’re dealing with, let me just say that this is the first time in my entire life that I have ever thought that this madhouse could be anyone’s oasis of calm.

Lucas: Well, what do you mean you have unanswered questions? Like what?

Roman: Well, like who framed ej by planting those phony transactions on dimera computers? And why bother to frame him if he actually was guilty? I mean it’s usually innocent people who get framed.

Lucas: Do you think ej’s innocent?

Roman: He’s not usually, but in this case, the cop part of me says it just doesn’t add up.

Lucas: Well, the guy who held sami captive said that ej hired him, so for me, that’s pretty much all the proof I need. You know, and now that ej’s got a walk, I’m gonna make sure he stays away from sami for good.

Roman: Okay, if you need help with that, let me know. I may not be sure that ej kidnapped sami, but I’m damn sure he is a creep.

Lucas: Well, amen to that. Thank you. So, uh, roman–

Roman: So, uh, lucas?

Lucas: Um, well, sami and I, you know, over the years, you know, through all the weddings and the divorces– I just want to make sure that I get things right from the start this time.

Roman: Uh, good idea.

Lucas: Right, so, um, I’m asking your permission to marry sami.

Abigail: You’re telling me that it was lucas who kidnapped sami? No. No, no, no. Dimeras kidnap people, but not hortons.

Chad: It’s the truth.

Abigail: How can it be? Why would lucas kidnap sami?

Chad: To keep sami from going back to ej.

Abigail: You’re sure?

Chad: I caught him planting fake financial reports on my computer to frame ej. And then he–lucas basically admitted everything and begged me to keep my mouth shut, to let ej take the fall.

Abigail: And you just went along with it?

Chad: Well, I didn’t want lucas to go to prison, and ej wasn’t exactly my favorite person at that time.

Abigail: Wait a–okay. Wait. So that was months ago. You’ve known all this time?

Chad: There were so many times that I wanted to tell you the truth. And I knew that ej could go to prison for years for something that he didn’t do. I was gonna come clean about everything, testify at the trial.

Abigail: But then you thought that he kissed me at the courthouse, so you kept your mouth shut and watched as he was shipped off to prison.

Chad: And then I found out that it wasn’t him, so I was going to come forward again. But then belle got the charges dropped and got him out of prison, and then kate convinced me that lucas wasn’t a threat to sami. But since ej was released, telling the truth wasn’t gonna help anyone, but it would screw up my relationship with ej big time, probably permanently.

Abigail: I can’t believe this.

Chad: I’m sorry. And I know that I have no right to ask you this, but can you please keep this between us?

Ej: Keep what between you?

[Dramatic music]

My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Roman: Okay, so you are asking me for my daughter’s hand in marriage?

Lucas: Yeah. That’s right.

Roman: Okay, like we have suddenly hurtled back a couple centuries, and like sami wouldn’t do exactly what she wants to do, whether I bless her or not?

Lucas: I know. You’re right. You’re right. She would. But this isn’t about you and sami. It’s more about you and me. Um, I was just wondering if it’s okay, you know, if, um, if you think I’m good enough for your daughter. I mean, your opinion matters to me, so.

Roman: Okay.

Lucas: And I know that my history isn’t the best in the world right now, so–

Roman: You mean you’ve screwed up a lot.

Lucas: Yeah. Yeah. You could say that.

Roman: Well, you have. But you’ve also been a great dad to will and allie, and you’ve been a really good friend to sami. And you know, I love sami very much, but you? You’re good for her. I think you understand her in a way that nobody else does. So yes. You do have my blessing.

Lucas: Thank you.

Roman: Just keep her safe, okay?

Lucas: I will.

Roman: And visit often.

Lucas: You got it.

Kate: Are we interrupting something?

Sonny: As much as I hate to leave, I think your family’s expecting us at the pub, like, now.

Will: Well, that can wait. This can’T.

Sonny: [Laughs]

Leo: Who am I? I think the better question is who are you?

Thomas: I’m thomas dimera.

Leo: Well, young thomas, what are you doing down here all by yourself?

Thomas: My sister and I are playing hide-and-seek.

Leo: I guess you’re found now, aren’t you?

Chad: So belle, what are you doing here?

Ej: I’ve invited her to stay here with us for a while– in the guest room, of course.

Chad: That’s very hospitable of you.

Ej: It’s the least I can do after she helped me get out of prison on those false kidnapping charges.

Chad: Right.

Ej: Yeah, so what were you asking abigail to keep between the two of you?

Chad: It’s a private conversation.

Abigail: Oh, no, chad, I– I think we should tell him. We hit the bike trails every weekend

Roman: Uh, no, you’re not interrupting anything. Just guy talk.

Kate: Oh, yeah. What about those cubs?

Roman: Yeah, along those lines. Marlena, glad you could make it.

Marlena: Thank you for asking me.

Roman: Yeah, I was hoping that you’d bring john and belle along.

Marlena: John’s at work, and belle and I aren’t getting along right now.

Roman: Sorry to hear that.

Marlena: Yeah. Thank you. I’m actually a little bit worried that she and shawn might not be able to get through all this.

Roman: Come on. Look at lucas and sami. If they can get through what they’ve gotten through, then hope for everyone.

Kate: I know that you think you’ve worked everything out with sami, but–

Lucas: Don’t do it, all right. Don’t start in on her.

Kate: Okay, I’m not starting in on her. I’m starting in on you, because I know you think you’re going to just walk off into the sunset with her. And I’m telling you right now, if she finds out from anyone other than you that you’re the one who kidnapped her, there’s no coming back from that.

Lucas: Don’t you think I know that?

Kate: Well, then why don’t you tell her yourself? Tell her it was you.

Lucas: Are you nuts? She would kill me. Don’t be like that. She wouldn’t understand. You know what? It doesn’t matter, because she’s never gonna find out, because you’re not gonna say anything, and chad’s not gonna say anything. And no one else knows.

Kate: I hope you’re right.

Roman: Kate, you know what’s keeping will?

Sonny: I wish you didn’t have to leave today.

Will: [Sighs] I know. But ari and I will be back before you know it, as soon as she’s done with school.

Sonny: Well, it was nice just to see you, even if it was ’cause of leo.

[Sneaky music]

Leo: I could lock you up down here, and your parents probably wouldn’t notice for months. Or years, for all the attention they pay. But I’m a good person. I couldn’t do that, could I?

Thomas: Why are you talking to yourself? And who are you anyway?

Leo: I’m the tooth fairy.

Thomas: I didn’t lose a tooth.

Leo: Get me a pair of pliers, and we can take care of that.

Thomas: What?

Leo: Nothing. Just kidding. I-I must have the wrong house.

Thomas: How could you be the tooth fairy? Fairies are girls.

Leo: [Snorts] You have a lot to learn, kid. But you are a very lucky little boy. Nobody is supposed to see the tooth fairy. So now you get to keep a very big secret. You can’t tell anyone about me, especially not your parents. So can I count on you or not?

Abigail: Chad and I have decided to try to have another baby.

Belle: [Gasps]

Abigail: Yes. He wants to keep it between us. I’m excited to share it. Of course, you know, with any luck, everyone’s gonna know soon enough anyways.

Ej: Oh, that’s wonderful.

Belle: Aw, that’s some baby news I can actually be happy about.

Chad: Yeah.

Abigail: And chad wasn’t able to be present with my other pregnancies from the very beginning, so this is gonna be different. These days we just share everything.

Ej: Congratulations. I’m thrilled for the both of you.

[Dramatic music]

I was on an antidepressant,

Belle: I mean, how did harold get my stuff here so quickly?

Ej: He’s magical. And I figured you’d want to unpack, so I asked him to bring up breakfast on a tray. Steak and eggs. Better than the pub.

Belle: Well, I could get used to this. I mean, it is just so different than how I grew up.

Ej: Well, sometimes I wish I grew up like you, in a normal home with two parents.

Belle: And a big sister who hated me and carrie with every fiber of her being.

Ej: That’s what it means to be a brother or sister. Hey, three months ago, chad and I wanted to kill each other, but now? We’re like– we’re like brothers.

Belle: It is good to see you two worked it out.

Ej: I don’t think it would be an overstatement to say that I was a real jerk when I came back to salem.

Belle: Yeah, I think chad might be the first to agree with that.

Ej: And now that he’s found some way to get over it, I’m gonna make sure that I don’t screw things up with him anymore.

Chad: Oh, I thought for a minute there that you were gonna tell ej everything.

Abigail: No. I mean, I felt like I had to say something, otherwise he was gonna think we were keeping secrets from him.

Chad: Which we were. I’m sorry for dragging you into this.

Abigail: I hate lying. But I think you’re right. I mean, I don’t want to mess up your relationship with ej. I don’t want lucas to go to prison. My mom would be crushed.

Chad: I should have known you’d understand.

Abigail: I’m on your side. I love you. And we’re a team, now and always.

[Tender music]

Leo: If you say anything, kid, it means no more tooth fairy money for the rest of your life.

Thomas: But I have two loose teeth.

Leo: Then you better keep your trap shut.

Thomas: Okay.

Leo: Now, I know you come from a family full of liars, creeps, and sneaks.

Thomas: What?

Leo: So I hope I can trust you to keep your word.

Thomas: Well, I don’t want to lose my 50 bucks.

Leo: 50 bucks?

Thomas: Per tooth.

Leo: In my day, it was 50 cents. Inflation. So can I count on you? Good, ’cause I’m gonna be watching you.

Thomas: You sound like santa.

Leo: Who says I’m not? Santa, easter bunny, tooth fairy. You want the magic to continue, I’m gonna need you to bring me some breakfast. So why don’t you head up to the kitchen and scare me up a tray?

Thomas: The tooth fairy eats people food?

Leo: Mm-hmm. And drink, so can you bring me some orange juice too, for my mimosa?

Thomas: What’s a mimosa?

Leo: Oh, don’t worry about it; just go. Chop-chop. Go.

Lucas: Hey.

Marlena: Oh!

Roman: Where have you two been?

Will: Uh, sorry. Something kind of came up.

Marlena: Well, as long as you’re here now.

Will: Yes, and I’m sorry for the combined hello and goodbye, but I’m gonna be back soon.

Kate: Okay, well, we’re gonna hold you to that, so.

[Cell phone beeps]

Lucas: What’s wrong?

Kate: Uh, I got to go.

Lucas: Everything okay?

Kate: Yeah. I hope so. Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Roman: Well, sorry we didn’t have more time together.

Will: I know. Yeah. I know I kind of blew into town, and now I’m blowing back out, but I promise I’m gonna come back soon.

Marlena: Allie told me that she had a very helpful conversation with you, so thank you for that.

Will: Oh, yeah. I mean, I was just trying to be there for her like you were there for me when I was figuring things out. I love you.

Marlena: Oh, darling.

Sonny: Well, I hate to cut the reunion short, but we should probably get going–

Will: Right. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I’ll be back soon. Love you, dad.

Lucas: Love you.

Will: And the whole family will be back together again.

Roman: Yeah, well, we’ll have to have a big party. What do you say, lucas?

Lucas: I was just thinking the same thing, yeah.

Chad: Thanks for meeting me.

Kate: Okay, so what’s this important information you need to share with me?

Chad: I thought that you should know I told abigail that lucas kidnapped sami.

Abigail: Thomas? What are you doing in the tunnels?

Leo: I was playing hide-and-seek with charlotte, and she never found me.

Abigail: Well, that’s because she knows you’re not supposed to go down there. Honey, promise me you’ll never do that again. It’s dangerous.

Thomas: Why? No one’s down there except–

Abigail: Except who? Did you see somebody down there?

Thomas: I promised not to tell.

Abigail: You promised who? Honey, it’s okay if you tell me.

Thomas: It was the tooth fairy.

[Tense music]

Leo: Mm. Best mimosa of my life. But I can’t drink too much. I have a big day ahead of me.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jan: Okay. This looks… interesting. Spinach?

Shawn: Yeah. It’s topped with feta cheese.

Jan: And this delicious looking concoction?

Shawn: It’s a smoothie made with avocado, oat milk, ginger, and kale.

Jan: Wow. Super healthy. It’s just I was craving one of those fat, greasy burgers from the pub.

Shawn: What, so–what, so instead of folic acid and vitamins, you want grease and salt?

Jan: I’m sorry. I know you’re just looking out for the health of our baby.

Shawn: And I’m looking out for your health too, jan.

Jan: Really? Wonder what belle would think about that.

Ej: Why don’t you stay for dinner? We can talk, share a bottle of wine. Relax. You look like you could really use it.

Belle: Can I have another glass of wine? Actually, you know what, will you just bring the whole bottle over?

Ej: Hello, lucas.

Lucas: Ej.

Ej: I heard you were back in town. How’s allie?

Lucas: You really care?

Ej: Actually, I do. No matter how I feel about you, I’ve always had affection for your children.

Lucas: All right.

Ej: For what it’s worth, I’m glad she is no longer possessed by the devil.

Lucas: Well, that’s mighty big of you. I’m glad johnny’s not possessed by the devil too.

Ej: Thank you.

Lucas: I guess that’s one more thing that allie and johnny have in common, isn’t it?

Ej: Hmm. You mean besides being in love with the same woman?

Allie: I heard that the devil quit my job. I was hoping you might take me back.

Chanel: You mean at the bakery. Right?

Allie: Not just at the bakery. Chanel, I want to get back together.

[Footsteps approach]

[Throat clears]

Johnny: Ha. As if I needed any more proof this twin intuition thing was real.

Allie: What does that mean?

Johnny: Well, sis, it looks like we’re both here for the exact same reason. We both want my wife back.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Allie: Ie: Uh, excuse me, but chanel is nobody’s wife.

Johnny: Yeah. Because the devil forced me to divorce her. Look, if I hadn’t been possessed, you and i would still be happily married.

Chanel: You may be right.

Johnny: I know I’m right. Which is why allie should bow out gracefully.

Lucas: I guess johnny confided in you about his renewed feelings for chanel.

Ej: Renewed? According to my son, he never stopped loving her.

Lucas: Well, too bad for your son. He dumped her, so chanel went to allie for comfort.

Ej: Do I need to point out that your daughter also broke chanel’s heart?

Lucas: Yeah, yeah. She was under supernatural influence at the time. Yeah.

Ej: Exactly. So as far as I’m concerned, the last half year is a wash. Which means the best thing for everyone would be for allie to step aside and give johnny and chanel a chance to rebuild their relationship.

Lucas: No way in hell that’s gonna happen. You’re delusional. My daughter is not gonna roll over for your son.

John: Hey, tink.

Belle: Dad, what are you doing here?

John: Well, I got your message that you wouldn’t be home for dinner. I just thought maybe you’d like a little company.

Belle: How did you find me?

John: Mmm. I have my ways.

Belle: Uh-huh. You talked to shawn?

John: He said that you–

[Sighs] You filed for a legal separation. You sure you want to take such a drastic step?

Belle: He and jan really left me no choice, dad.

Shawn: Listen to me, jan. You don’t need to concern yourself with my marriage. I need you to be focused on that baby. And that means eating healthy. So come on.

Jan: Is that your way of saying I’m not gonna get that cheeseburger?

Shawn: Just try it, all right? Come on. It’s good. Here. See?

Jan: Mmm. It is good!

Marlena: I hope I’m not interrupting. Moderate to severe eczema

Sarah: I forgot how much I missed this.

Xander: But you remember everything else, right?

Sarah: Mm-hmm. No, I do. I remember that…I forgave you for what happened with mickey and that we were happy and we were planning our wedding when kristen… when she stole my life.

Xander: If only I’d known sooner that she kidnapped you.

Sarah: Can’t imagine what you must have thought when i disappeared right before the wedding.

Xander: I was frantic. And then I found you in bed with rex brady.

Sarah: Yeah, but that… wasn’t me.

Xander: My whole life disappeared in that moment, thinking you’d chosen that dunderhead over me.

Sarah: I’m sorry that you went through that. I hate that you had your heart broken and that I was gone and you were all alone.

Xander: Yeah.

Sarah: What? What is it?

Xander: Sarah, I– I was heartbroken. But I wasn’t alone. Not the whole time.

Shawn: Marlena.

Marlena: Shawn. Jan.

Shawn: Uh, jan and i were just having a discussion about her diet.

Jan: He wants me to eat like I’m in training for the triathlon, and I want a big juicy burger.

Shawn: Okay. I just want her to at least try the food that I made.

Marlena: Well, I know jan’s on bedrest. But I think she’s completely capable of feeding herself.

Shawn: Duly noted.

Jan: Dr. Evans, are you here because you’ve made a decision about being my therapist?

Marlena: Yes, I am.

Jan: Great.

Marlena: I’m afraid I can’t help you, jan.

Ej: So you’re encouraging your daughter to help herself to her brother’s wife?

Lucas: I encourage my daughter to follow her heart.

Ej: I don’t know why I should be surprised. It’s not like you value the sanctity of marriage.

Lucas: What are you talking about–sami and me being together? Because when you guys were together, you were estranged.

Ej: Samantha was my wife! In fact, she still is.

Lucas: Well, johnny and chanel aren’t married anymore.

Ej: So let the best twin win? Is that it?

Lucas: I think we both know who that is, don’t we?

Ej: I’m onto you, lucas.

Lucas: You’re onto me? Really?

Ej: Mm-hmm. It’s only a matter of time before I prove to samantha and everyone else in this town that you kidnapped her. And when I do that, there won’t be a rock big enough under which you can hide from my wrath.

Allie: I don’t understand your reasoning, johnny–why should I be the one to bow out?

Johnny: I’m sorry. Did you miss the part where I said that chanel was my wife?

Allie: Yeah, “was,” as in past tense. And I don’t know if I need to remind you, but chanel and I had feelings for each other long before she even knew who you were.

Johnny: Not strong enough to keep you from being with tripp.

Allie: Hey, don’t talk about him, okay? This has nothing to do with him!

Chanel: Enough! Will you guys stop talking about me like I’m not standing here and my opinion doesn’t matter?

Johnny: You’re right. I’m sorry.

Allie: Me too. We’ll stop.

Chanel: Thank you.

Allie: So?

Chanel: So?

Johnny: Tell us.

Chanel: Tell you what?

Johnny: Which one of us do you want to be with? With depression, you just feel…blah.

Jan: There goes my last chance at being a good mother to this baby.

Shawn: Oh, jan, there are other therapists out there that can help you. I’m sure–I’m sure marlena can recommend someone.

Marlena: Yes, I can if jan is sincere about wanting the help.

Jan: Of course I’m sincere. Nothing is more important to me than this child and turning my life around so he or she can be proud of me. Why are you looking at me like that, dr. Evans, like I’m some kind of pariah?

Marlena: I’m sure you understand that I’m concerned that you’re pretending to want my help when, in fact, you’re just concocting a plan to hurt my daughter.

Jan: No! No, no. I swear that isn’t what’s happening here. I swear that I just want to be a good mom to my baby. I think you could really help.

Marlena: I’m sorry. My decision stands. Sorry.

Jan: Bull!

Marlena: Excuse me?

Shawn: Jan, what are you doing?

Jan: She isn’t sorry, shawn.. Marlena evans thinks I’m irredeemable.

Belle: There’s no way that I can live in that house every day and watch shawn take care of jan spears.

John: There’s got to be another solution here.

Belle: Well, none that I can think of, dad. Not as long as jan and that baby are in the picture.

John: So this, uh… separation– it’s a done deal?

Belle: I had ej file the paperwork.

John: Yeah. Yeah, I heard that you and elvis have been spending a lot of time together.

Lucas: You know, I hope johnny is more gracious in defeat than you are. I’d hate to see him turn into a bitter old shell like his old man.

Ej: He’s not going to lose.

Lucas: Well, think what you want. But chanel will choose allie over him. I know it.

Ej: I understand you’re standing up for your daughter. But there’s no way that chanel is going to pick a fragile woman-child over my red-blooded virile son.

Lucas: Fragile? Really? My daughter? My daughter has been through more in her young life than you and I could possibly fathom. She has tackled every challenge head on. And you know what, if you ask me, I’d say my daughter is twice as red-blooded and virile as johnny dimera will ever be.

Allie: The ball’s in your court, dupree.

Chanel: Oh, way to put a sister on the spot, horton.

Johnny: That’s not our intention.

Chanel: Oh, are you sure? Because that’s how it feels to me. And let me just say that the two of you “fighting” over me like some spoiled little kids and I’m some expensive-ass toy, it’s–it’s embarrassing, actually. I mean, are we not all grown up here? Are we not?

Allie: Most of us are.

Chanel: Look, I love you both, okay? And the three of us have been through some strange and pretty terrible times. So for you to ask me to choose between the two of you… I’m just not gonna do it.

Johnny: You’re gonna have to eventually.

Chanel: I don’t “have to” do anything, johnny dimera. And if you want to try to force me to make a choice, then I’ll tell you who I choose. I choose me, damn it!

Sarah: Okay. Well, I was gone out of your life for…a long time. And for most of that time, you believed that I had left you and, um, and I wasn’t coming back. I know you’re not a monk, xander, so if you dated other women–

Xander: There was only really…one woman. But we didn’t just date.

Sarah: What does that mean?

Xander: We were engaged to be married. We women are in the know about everything.

Sarah: You were engaged to someone while I was gone?

Xander: It’s like you said, sarah… I thought you didn’t want me anymore, that… I was at an all-time low when I met her.

Sarah: Who is she?

Xander: Gwen. Gwen rizczech.

Sarah: Jack’s daughter?

Xander: Yeah. That’s the one.

Sarah: Didn’t I, um, run into you two when I first came back to salem?

Xander: You remember that? That was when you still thought you were renee dumonde and you thought gwen was some other gwen from renee’s past.

Sarah: You were in love with her?

Xander: Sarah.

Sarah: No, no. You were engaged to another woman while I was languishing away on an island. That’s what you’re telling me?

Xander: Yes. That is what I’m telling you.

Allie: Hold on. “I choose me”? That is a line from that ’90s show you’re obsessed with.

Johnny: What show?

Allie: “Berly hills 90210.” She made me watch, like, 20 episodes with her last summer.

Chanel: Okay, so I quote the queen kelly taylor when I get stressed out. Sue me!

Johnny: The last thing I wanna do is stress you out.

Allie: Yeah. Look, it’s not what either one of us wants.

Chanel: Um, too late, twinsies.

Allie: Chanel, I know that this is hard.

Chanel: Hard is baking a croissant. But this is impossible. Being torn between two people is one thing, but between a man and a woman– but y’all are brother and sister. Twins!

Johnny: That–that shouldn’t haven’t any effect on your decision.

Allie: Yeah. Really, it shouldn’T. I mean, johnny and i both being possessed taught us– and I can’t believe that I’m saying this– but it taught us that our bond is unbreakable.

Johnny: Truth.

Allie: Okay, we might bicker and talk trash…

Johnny: And compete over everything from scrabble to mini-golf.

Allie: My brother is the one constant in my life.

Johnny: And she’s my ride or die.

Lucas: I wonder how sami would feel about you belittling allie like this.

Ej: I’m not in any way doing that. I’m just stating the obvious differences between our children. One twin has the blood of kings, conquerors, and captains of industry coursing through his veins. The other…

Lucas: I’d watch it. It’d watch what comes out of your mouth right now. Watch what you say.

Ej: The hortons are a perfectly lovely family full of doctors, donut makers, drunkards, grifters.

Lucas: You elitist jerk. You know what, I’d rather have horton blood coursing through my veins than dimera blood any day. And you know what, I know sami feels the same way. I’m sure of it.

Ej: And where is samantha anyway? Have you kidnapped her again?

Lucas: Not that it’s any of your business, but during our romantic ski getaway, she fell and broke her leg. She’s in the hospital.

Ej: Is she all right?

Lucas: She’s fine. She just can’t leave the italian alps. Doctors won’t let her.

Ej: Mm. Mm, no, of course not, no.

Lucas: What, do you think I’m making this up? You think I’m lying? I wouldn’t hurt her the way you do. I wouldn’t do that.

Ej: I was exonerated in samantha’s kidnapping. Someone framed me. But, of course, you know that, don’t you?

Lucas: Were you exonerated though? Really? Maybe the devil decided to dabble in a little corporate espionage, but that doesn’t make you innocent. No, no. I think satan… I think satan framed an already guilty man.

Belle: Yes, I have been spending some time with ej. He is my friend. And he is letting me use office space in his house.

John: So how do you think your sister would react to you getting close to her ex?

Belle: Yeah, well, she wasn’t too concerned about my feelings when she unleashed jan spears on my entire family.

John: Okay, so this is payback.

Belle: It’s unrelated. Besides, she’s with lucas now. She doesn’t have any claim on ej.

John: Oh, come on, sweetheart. You and I both know that samantha will always have a claim on ej.

Jan: I’ve read the intruder articles. They say your patients are dropping you left and right since the whole possession scandal got out.

Marlena: I would hardly call that a scandal.

Jan: I’m just saying. I thought you’d welcome new business.

Marlena: My loyal patients know that I was not responsible during that time.

Jan: Well, what about what happened to me and my actions while you were possessed?

Shawn: Jan, come on. We don’t need to do this.

Marlena: No, no, no. That’s all right. What did you want to say?

Jan: You woke me up from the coma to go after belle and shawn.

Marlena: You know I don’t remember that.

Jan: Right. The devil made you do it. Well, guess what, dr. Evans? You’re not the only one with demons.

Marlena: I suppose you mean that figuratively.

Jan: From the moment that paul mendez raped me, there has been a constant battle between good and evil in my head. That violation left me hopeless and angry. It robbed me of my faith in humanity. And it has affected every decision I’ve ever made since.

Marlena: I understand that. It still doesn’t give you the right or permission to hurt people.

Jan: I know. And I have to live with what I’ve done. I just want the same chance you gave to ben weston, the opportunity to prove that I can be a better person, not just for me but for this baby.

Shawn: Look, jan, you… you’ve done some really horrible things, especially to marlena’s daughter.

Jan: And I’m sorry about that. But doesn’t my innocent baby deserve the chance to have a mom who’s mentally healthy?

Marlena: Yes. It does. All right. I will see you in treatment.

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Sarah: Tell me how it happened.

Xander: How what happened?

Sarah: How you fell in love with gwen.

Xander: Why does that matter?

Sarah: I need to know, xander.

Xander: All right. When I lost you, I lost hope. I…I was a drunken mess. If I–if I wasn’t at rock bottom, then I was very close. And jack was the only person who took pity on me. He gave me a place to stay and… gwen was staying there too.

Sarah: Close quarters.

Xander: Yeah. And we couldn’t stand each other at first. She was so impulsive and stubborn and her own worst enemy. And I don’t know, eventually we just came to realize that we were kindred spirits, fellow…pariahs. And jack was the only person in the whole town that believed in either of us.

Sarah: So your feelings for her must have been strong.

Xander: I came to realize, in your absence– and sure that you wanted nothing more to do with me– that gwen was the person I was meant to be with.

Sarah: [Sniffles] Okay, so…you said you were engaged, then, um… what happened? Did one of you call it off or–

Xander: Actually, we made it all the way to the altar.

Sarah: So why didn’t you get married?

Xander: Because I found out what she did. To you.

Chanel: Look, I’m glad you guys are solid, but I still need time to figure out who and what I want for my life.

Allie: I understand.

Johnny: Take your time.

Chanel: All right, I–i should get back to the bakery. I need to close up, so–

Allie: Hey, um, speaking of sweet bits, could I at least get an answer on if I can have my job back?

Chanel: You can start back in the morning.

Allie: Yeah?

Chanel: It’s not sweet bits without you.

Allie: Okay.

Chanel: All right. See you in the morning. Good night, giovanni.

Johnny: Night, chanel. Well played.

Allie: What are you talking about?

Johnny: You’re back in the bakery, which means you’re spending all day with the woman that we’re both crazy about.

Allie: I’m back at the bakery because I love my job.

Johnny: You love chanel.

Allie: I thought we were not gonna let her get between us.

Johnny: And how do you suppose we do that?

Allie: Well, how about we start by heading over to the pub and splitting a plate of fries, all right, like we did when we were kids?

Johnny: Extra crispy?

Allie: Always.

Johnny: I could go for that.

Allie: Okay.

Jan: Thank you. Thank you, thank you, dr. Evans. You have no idea how much this means to me.

Shawn: Yes, thank you, marlena.

Marlena: Let me be very clear about something. This therapy is only on a trial basis. The moment I have any suspicion that you’re up to your old tricks or that you’re not taking it seriously, the sessions will end.

Jan: Understood. So should we get started?

Shawn: Jan, what are you doing?

Jan: Diving in. So how does this work? Do I just tell you about my childhood?

Marlena: I think we’ll start tomorrow.

Jan: Oh, okay. That works.

Marlena: Okay. I will see you then.

Jan: You won’t regret this.

Marlena: I really hope not.

Shawn: Here, I’ll walk you out. Thank you. Thank you for again for doing this. I know that this–that this wasn’t an easy decision for you.

Marlena: Will not be easy to tell belle that I’m doing it either.

Belle: Dad, for the last time, sami does not have anything to do with my connection to ej.

John: Mmm, I wouldn’t be so sure about that, kid. You see ej and sami are forever intertwined.

Belle: So you think that he’s not over her?

John: I think that ej has a huge ego. And your big sister throwing him over for lucas had to hurt like hell.

Belle: What are you saying?

John: Well, I’m saying that what better way to get back at samantha than for ej to start sniffing around her baby sister?

Lucas: It’s funny ’cause one of the guys who was holding sami said that you were the orchestrator of sami’s abduction.

Ej: That’s because you put him up to it.

Lucas: We’re gonna do that again, that old song and dance, really? It’s getting old.

Ej: You obviously paid him off, you bottom-feeding little weasel.

Lucas: I’ve about had enough of your mouth for one night.

Ej: Oh, yeah? What are you going to do about it, loser?

Lucas: Loser? What am i gonna–I’ll show you what I’m gonna do about it. With relapsing forms of ms,

Allie: Oh, my god! Dad! Ej!

Johnny: Hey, what the hell is going on?!

Allie: Hey, hey!

[Ej groans]

Ej: You’ll pay for that cheap shot!

Lucas: Any time, you arrogant bastard! Let him go, johnny! Let him go. Come on. Come on.

Allie: Dad, that’s enough!

Johnny: Stop it! Both of you!

Allie: All right–rain check on the fries?

Johnny: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, dad. Let’s go.

Ej: This isn’t over!

Lucas: Good! You know where to find me any time, big guy! Any time!

Allie: Hey, have you lost your mind?

Belle: You know that’s offensive, right?

John: I’m not worried about offending ej.

Belle: I mean to me.

John: What did I say?

Belle: You just suggested that a man like ej couldn’t be interested in me unless he was trying to get back at his ex.

John: Oh, no, no, no. Come on, you know that’s not what I meant.

Belle: Then what did you mean?

Marlena: Well, it looks like I got here just in time.

Belle: Yeah. Just in time to tell your husband he’s being totally insensitive.

Marlena: What’s going on?

John: No, no. She’s upset because I just merely suggested that maybe ej’s trying to get close to her as a way to stick it to sami.

Marlena: Oh, I see.

Belle: Yeah, well, he didn’t just “suggest” it. He just proclaimed it as the gospel truth.

Marlena: Well, it seems to me that…

Belle: That would be offensive?

Marlena: Well, I was actually going to agree with you and say that it was pretty insensitive.

John: What do you say we change the subject here? How was your day, dear?

Marlena: Well, it’s been slightly stressful. But after consideration, I have come to the opinion that it is best for everyone, especially for shawn, if I go ahead and treat jan spears.

Sarah: So your fiancée at the time knew what kristen did to me?

Xander: Yes.

Sarah: And then she made sure that I got a double dose of the same drug?

Xander: She did. But then abigail exposed her at the wedding.

Sarah: That must have been quite a scene. And where’s gwen now?

Xander: She pled guilty and they sent her to statesville.

Sarah: Oh. You really know how to pick ’em.

Xander: I’m so sorry, sarah. If I’d known what she was up to… but the important thing is that you and I found our way back to each other, right? That’s what matters.

Sarah: Of course.

Xander: Hey. Why don’t we go see your mom? Maggie hasn’t heard the good news that we’re back together.

Sarah: Yeah. That would make her really happy.

Xander: So we’re okay?

Sarah: I’m still trying to… wrap my head around what you just told me that you were engaged to someone else while I was gone. But, um, yeah. Yeah, we’re okay. I should be grateful that you and gwen didn’t actually tie the knot, so….

Belle: You’re treating jan?

Marlena: Belle, before you get yourself all worked up–

Belle: How could you, mom? How could you treat the woman who amongst many other horrible offenses just pretended to be me and got knocked up by my husband?

John: Hey, keep it down.

Belle: Answer the question!

Marlena: All right. The reason that I’m treating jan is because I… I feel party responsible for what she did.

Belle: You did not wake her up from that coma.

John: Just try to see it from her perspective.

Belle: No! I’m so sick of being the reasonable one here when all you care about is sami. And now mom wants to take on jan spears as her new–new rehab-a-psycho pet project.

Marlena: That’s not fair.

Belle: Screw fair! What has fair ever gotten me?

John: Tink–

Belle: You what it’s gotten me? It’s gotten me my stalker living in my house. And now she’s pregnant by my husband. And now she’s gonna be all healed by my own mother. Well, here’s an idea. Why don’t you two just go all the way and adopt jan since you feel so responsible for her?

Marlena: Oh, belle, please–

Belle: You know what, actually, I think that’s a brilliant idea. She can be your new daughter. And then–then you’ll have your own new grandbaby. Oh, won’t that be so fun? I’m done!

John: No, no, no. You’re not going. No, give me your key. Give me–you’ve drank too much.

Belle: Fine. I’ll get a cab. Tell sami and jan I said hey.

Marlena: I don’t know what happened.

[Ice clattering]

Johnny: You barely said a word on the ride home.

Ej: What’s to say?

Johnny: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe you could explain why you and lucas were pummeling each other in front of grandpa’s restaurant?

Ej: It’s nothing for you to concern yourself over, son.

Johnny: So it was about mom.

Ej: As I just said, it’s not your concern. I want to hear how things went with you and your young lady.

Johnny: Me and chanel?

Ej: Of course. How soon before I have to put down the black card to pay for your second wedding?

From prom dresses We have to get going, so–

Chanel: Xander, hey!

Xander: Hey.

Chanel: And you must be sarah.

Sarah: I am. [Giggles]

Chanel: I see you managed to win her back without my help.

Xander: Yep. Actually, we have to get going, so–

Sarah: Do I–do I know you?

Xander: This is–sarah, this is–

Chanel: Chanel. Like the luxury brand. Chanel dupree.

Sarah: Oh, right. It’s nice to meet you.

Chanel: I’m xander’s ex-wife. Though don’t worry, it was very brief and pretty meaningless.

Sarah: Ex-wife?

Chanel: Oh, man. You didn’t tell her?

Sarah: No. He didn’T. He didn’t say a word.

Lucas: Ow.

Allie: Grandpa had this in the freezer.

Lucas: I don’t need ice.

Allie: Your hand’s gonna swell.

Lucas: Fine, I’ll take it. I’m sorry that you and johnny had to see that. I am.

Allie: Yeah, well, I’m just happy that we got here before the two of you killed each other. I mean, what was that about anyway?

Lucas: Your mother, of course.

Allie: What about her?

Lucas: Ej thinks that I’m the one who kidnapped your mother. I mean, can you believe that, the nerve of that guy?

Johnny: [Sighs] Uh, hold off on the wedding planning for now.

Ej: Why? Did chanel say she doesn’t want you back?

Johnny: Not exactly, but… she said she needs time to think.

Ej: What’s to think about? You were both in love before the devil got involved.

Johnny: Look, chanel asked allie and me to give her space, and that’s what I’m gonna do.

[Door opens]

Ej: Just be careful, son. Don’t lose out on the woman you want out of some misguided sense of loyalty.

[Laughter on tv]

Shawn: Oh! Ha ha. I see you liked it.

Jan: Not so much, honestly. But wanted to prove how serious I am about taking care of our baby’s body while working on my own body and my soul too.

Shawn: I appreciate that.

Jan: Shawn, I know this is gonna sound pollyanna, but I really think that my therapy with dr. Evans is gonna make me a better person.

Shawn: Well, if anybody can help you, it’s marlena. So I’m gonna take these and put them in the kitchen, and I’m gonna head to bed.

Jan: Okay.

Shawn: All right, let me know if you need anything else, okay?

Jan: I will. Shawn… thank you for everything.

Shawn: Good night, jan.

Jan: You hear that, little one? Your mommy and daddy are getting closer. Once marlena gives me a clean bill of health, well… who knows what can happen?

Marlena: We shouldn’t have let belle go like that. I’m gonna call her.

John: Oh, no, no. What’s the point? She is an inebriated grown woman who obviously is upset with both of us right now.

Marlena: Then I’m going to cancel jan’s sessions.

John: Doc, don’t do that. Please. Just trust your instincts. A sane, healthy jan is better for all of us. And as far as our daughter goes, she’s tough, she’s strong. She’s gonna get through this.

Marlena: I hope you’re right.

Johnny: Uh, I’m gonna head upstairs. I got a friend from ucla that sent me a script he wants me to read, so…

Ej: Good night, son.

Johnny: Good night, dad.

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Johnny: Belle.

Belle: Good night.

Ej: Are you all right?

Belle: Uh, no. I’m not.

Ej: What happened?

Belle: I just had a really big fight with my parents. Um…could I stay here tonight? In one of the guest rooms, I mean.

Ej: Of course you can. I’d love to have you.

[Knock on door] Hey!

Chanel: Who were you talking to?

Tripp: My half-sister and brother.

Chanel: Oh, sorry to interrupt.

Tripp: No, that’s okay. We were just saying goodbye.

Chanel: Oh. Well, you know, I had to wait in line out there to say hi to the local hero.

Tripp: Oh, come on.

Chanel: Can you eat real food?

Tripp: Yes. Yes, but they don’t serve that her so…

Chanel: Well, I have come to the rescue.

Tripp: Would that be ham and cheese on a croissant?

Chanel: Would I bring you anything else?

Tripp: Okay, okay, you can stay. You can stay, but no pictures or autographs, please.

Chanel: Aw. I don’t care what you say– you really are a hero. Mine at least. You saved allie’s life. You gave henry his mom back. Gave me my best friend back.

Allie: Will!

Will: I leave you alone for five minutes and you get possessed by the devil?

Allie: Well, it got you to come visit, right?

Will: Okay. What was it like?

Allie: Actually, I don’t remember any of it. But I heard I was a total bitch to almost everyone.

Will: So it was like your teenage years,

Allie: Pretty close. Yeah.

Will: Yeah. Honestly, though, I-I was very scared for you and johnny, so… thank god you’re both okay.

Johnny: Was aunt belle just here? I thought I saw her driving off.

Ej: Hmm. I’m doing some legal work for her.

Johnny: Oh. You gonna be a practicing lawyer again?

Ej: Just doing belle a favor.

Johnny: Heard your takeover of the company tanked.

Ej: Hmm. Thanks to your aunt kristen, but I haven’t given up on running dimera enterprises.

Johnny: Well, let me know if you need any help.

Ej: I will. What’s with the laptop? Doing some writing?

Johnny: Yeah, that was the idea, but, uh, all the noise is kind of making it hard to concentrate.

Ej: What noise?

Johnny: You don’t wanna know.

Both: Ahh!

[Both laughing]

Chad: That was–

Abigail: I think making love means even more when you’re–

Chad: Making a baby?

Abigail: Yeah.

Chad: Think we did it?

Leo: Ooh, thanks for the tip, gwennie. I hope this means you’ve decided to help me get revenge against abigail. Fine. You keep thinking it over, but I am not letting this go. I am going to get back at every single person who broke up craig and me. I don’t care if it takes me the rest of my life.

Sonny: What the hell are you planning now, you disgusting little creep?

Male announcer: Like sand through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Leo: Do you always eavesdrop on people’s personal phone calls?

Sonny: No, just the ones who slip me drugs and then send dummied up photos to the tabloids.

Leo: Those pictures were for real. You looked very happy and very satisfied.

Sonny: I look unconscious, which I was. Did you carry me to bed or did you drag me?

Leo: If you’re worried about will calling his lawyer, just tell him we didn’t go all the way.

Sonny: I know we didn’t because I was literally unconscious!

Leo: Maybe he’ll believe you, even if nobody else does.

Sonny: My lawyer is already in touch with the editor of “the intruder,” okay? I’m gonna do whatever it takes to set the record straight.

Leo: Good luck with that. Because these pictures are the talk of the town. Some people are even saying you might lose your job over them, which would be such a tragedy.

Allie: It was so sweet of you to come all the way here to check in on me.

Will: Well, it wasn’t just that. I’m–I’m dealing with the fallout from leo’s cookies.

Allie: Leo has cookies? Is he gonna open a rival bakery?

Will: You must be the only person in salem who hasn’t read “the intruder.”

Allie: No, I don’t read that rag.

Will: Okay. Well, forget I said anything.

Allie: No, come on, now you have to tell me.

Will: No, it’s just like… it’s another one of leo’s stupid stunts.

Allie: Oh, he’s still at it?

Will: Yeah, but, you know, we’re handling it and, um… I wanna–I’m here to talk about you. And I wanna hear about what happened. Are you sure you’re okay?

Allie: Physically, yeah. Mentally, um… it’s a lot to deal with.

Will: Mm.

Allie: You know, I heard i did some really awful stuff.

Will: Like what?

Allie: Um, I… chained johnny and ben up in the dimera family crypt. I kidnapped ciara, and she went into labor. So I delivered her baby and then went on the run with it.

Will: Um…wow, yeah that’s– that is pretty bad stuff, but, I mean, at least it wasn’t you, right? Did you talk to grandma?

Allie: She said what you said.

Will: Exactly, right? She would know. She went through it.

Allie: Still, it’s hard not to take responsibility. I mean, people are still hurting from everything I did. People I really care about, like chanel.

Tripp: Thanks for coming to see me again.

Chanel: Yeah, we didn’t really get a chance to talk the last time I was here.

Tripp: Yeah, it was a little crowded. It was like allie was the bachelorette and you and I were at the rose ceremony.

Chanel: Oh, it was not like that, and you know it.

Tripp: Kinda was…until johnny showed up at least.

Chanel: Johnny and I, uh… we ran into allie after you two had a chance to talk alone. She said you made it really clear that you weren’t getting back together.

Tripp: Yeah.

Chanel: But why? I know you love allie. Are you really ready to let her go? I was on an antidepressant,

Sonny: My uncle vick is still in charge at titan, and he’s backing me. So I don’t care what the, uh… “the rumor mill” says. My job is not in danger.

Leo: I couldn’t care less what happens to you now. I made a bundle off those pictures.

Sonny: Oh. It’s always about money for you, isn’t it?

Leo: You can be high and mighty–you’ve had money since you were born.

Sonny: Oh, my god, boo-hoo. I’ve heard this sob story before.

Leo: I wouldn’t have had to sell those photos if you and your friends had left craig and me alone! I’m on my own now because of you! And a girl’s gotta eat.

Sonny: That’s how you justify drugging me with laced cookies?

Leo: The note with the cookies said they were from your husband.

Sonny: Will just got back today–I know for a fact he has nothing to do with the fricking cookies!

Leo: So will is here already? How did he like the photos?

Will: So when the devil was running johnny, he told chanel he wanted a divorce…

Allie: At their wedding reception.

Will: And when the devil was running you, you…

Allie: Dumped chanel too. In the meanest way possible, according to her. So now do you see how I feel so bad about it?

Will: Yeah. I’m sorry–I didn’t even know you and chanel were dating. I mean, you told me you had feelings for her.

Allie: Yeah, well, I did a lot of thinking after our talk…

Will: Mm-hmm.

Allie: I don’t know. My life started to make a lot more sense once I realized I was bisexual. And I-I always thought I loved chanel as a friend, but now I realized I just loved her. Period.

Will: That’s great, allie.

Allie: It would be. If our brother wasn’t also in love with her.

Johnny: Chad and abigail… how do I say this delicately? They’ve been at it for a while.

Ej: [Chuckles] Well, now that our takeover plan has failed, I suppose chad’s turning his attention to his personal life.

Johnny: Easy for you to say. You don’t have the room next to theirs.

Ej: There are lots of other bedrooms in this house.

Johnny: And I’ll be moving into one of them. Otherwise, I’m not gonna get any sleep, let alone write.

Ej: Are you working on anything in particular?

Johnny: [Sighs] Well, now that my producer is dead, so is my movie about grandma, which is fine by me. I have a whole new perspective on devil possession.

Ej: Any new ideas?

Johnny: Yeah, mm-hmm, one that, uh…I mean, it’s pretty close to home.

Ej: May I know what it is?

Johnny: Why not? It’s about fraternal twins who are in love with the same girl.

Abigail: You know, if you really wanna be sure we made a baby–

Chad: Okay. Honey…mmm…I need a break. I need a break.

Abigail: Oh. Okay. What do you wanna do instead?

Chad: Well, if we’re gonna have another mouth to feed, I should probably start looking for a job.

Abigail: Yeah. I’m sorry that didn’t work out. I cannot believe kristen stabbed both of her brothers in the back.

Chad: Nothing she does surprises me anymore, especially after what she did to you and sarah.

Abigail: Well, I survived, and so did she–it looks like she’s going to anyway.

Chad: Mm-hmm.

Abigail: I’m just really glad that you and ej are getting along again.

Chad: Yeah. I, uh, I really didn’t like being on the outs with him.

Abigail: I mean, it wasn’t your fault. It seemed like he came back to town just trying to push everybody’s buttons. Mainly yours.

Chad: It wasn’t one-sided. I mean, I did some things I wasn’t proud of.

Abigail: Really? Like what?

Kate: Hey. Is roman babysitting henry?

Lucas: Yeah. They’re video chatting with sami right now.

Kate: Oh, great. So she has better reception, I guess, huh? Did she say when she’s gonna be able to fly back?

Lucas: No, mom. Not yet. The break is-is very bad.

Kate: Yeah, I heard.

Lucas: You know what–

Kate: W-what are you doing?

Lucas: Now that we’re alone, I think it’s time–I think it’s time. I want my apology.

Kate: [Exhales] For what?

Lucas: For accusing me of kidnapping the mother of my children. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Chad: I, uh…you know, I’m the one that testified against ej. So I’m basically the one that sent him to prison.

Abigail: Yeah, but, honey, you were under oath. You didn’t have a choice but to tell the truth.

Chad: Yeah, but I was wrong.

Abigail: Yeah, but at that point you thought you had proof that he was guilty.

Chad: Right.

Abigail: And the man–he was in your face all the time.

Chad: The important thing is that, um… him and I, we’re on the same side now. I mean, he’s a completely different person since he got out of prison.

Abigail: I do wonder though…

Chad: Okay. Come on, I can see those wheels turning. What?

Abigail: Well, the kidnapping. I wanna believe that ej’s innocent. But if he didn’t kidnap sami, then who did?

Chad: I don’t know. Guess we’ll never know.

Abigail: Not necessarily.

Chad: What do you mean?

Abigail: I think I just found “the spectator’s” next investigative report. I’m gonna find out who kidnapped sami brady.

Kate: Darling, why wouldn’t i accuse you of kidnapping sami since you had already done it once?

Lucas: I regret it, okay? And I’m never gonna do it again.

Kate: Hah. Well, I can’t believe you went to that extreme in the first place.

Lucas: It wasn’t my proudest moment, all right? I think about it every day. I regret it, I do. But a lot of good has come out of it, because now sami wants nothing to do with ej. And we have never been closer.

Kate: Okay. Does she know that he’s been released from prison?

Lucas: Yeah. Yeah, she does.

Kate: Okay. So she knows he’s innocent.

Lucas: Not exactly.

Kate: Oh, my god. Okay. So what does that mean?

Lucas: Well, you know, it took a little doing, but, uh, sami still thinks that ej is guilty as hell.

Kate: Oh, my god.

Ej: But you and chanel were married. You were in love.

Johnny: Yeah, I thought so.

Ej: And I thought allie and chanel were just friends.

Johnny: Before I was even in the picture, I think they’d begun to figure out they’re more than that.

Ej: Have they–

Johnny: Yeah.

Ej: Oh, I see.

Johnny: Your step-daughter’s bisexual, dad.

Ej: Right. Right. And so is chanel?

Johnny: [Inhales, exhales] Let’s just say that if she had to pick between the two of us right now, I don’t know if she’d choose allie or me.

Tripp: You’re right, I do still love allie. I mean, you don’t do a header through a stained glass window for someone you feel lukewarm about.

Chanel: Okay, then–then why did you tell her that you don’t wanna get back together?

Tripp: Because if I told allie that I wanted to start over, she’d say that she did too.

Chanel: And the problem with that is?

Tripp: I would never know if I’m the one she really wants or if she just feels obligated.

Chanel: Trying to be fair here. She does love you.

Tripp: Maybe. And maybe we’d be happy for a while, but… in the end, I know it wouldn’t work out.

Chanel: Why?

Tripp: I know for sure that I want to spend the rest of my life with allie, but only if allie knows for sure that she wants it too. And how can she know that? The love of her life is… it’s you.

Allie: You know, the worst part is we all thought johnny was being not just a jerk–

Will: Yeah. I mean, I thought he went from being like my cocky younger brother to a sadistic bastard.

Allie: Yeah, everyone did. I mean, you should have seen the things that he said to chanel in front of their families. You should have seen the way he talked to me. I mean, right after tripp proposed, johnny strolled in and told him that I slept with chanel.

Will: Is that what happened?

Allie: When the devil was done with johnny and johnny came back to his senses, he thought that everything could just go back to normal, that he could be happily in love and married to chanel.

Will: Yeah. Wow, that… that is a huge mess.

Allie: Tell me about it.

Will: So the only person in your quadrangle that the devil didn’t mess with is chanel?

Allie: Not directly anyway.

Will: Okay. And who does chanel wanna be with?

Allie: I don’t know. I mean, she kind of got bounced all around, so I’ve just been giving her space. I don’t think she even knows how I feel.

Will: Then maybe you should tell her.

Allie: Well, there is also another option. I could let her go.

Leo: I hope will isn’t too upset.

Sonny: Oh, bull! You would love that!

Leo: We both know he’s not one to point the finger. As I recall, he’s cheated on you more than once. Turnabout is fair play.

Sonny: Will knows I didn’t cheat on him, and the whole world’s about to know. ‘Cause I reported you to the cops.

Leo: [Fake gasp] Really? No messages from them yet.

Sonny: Mm. That’s ’cause I haven’t gotten my test results back yet.

Leo: What test results?

Sonny: Oh, the blood tests I took this morning. The one that will prove that you drugged me.

[Phone rings] Speaking of, there’s my aunt kayla, the one who administered the blood test this morning. Yeah, you might wanna stay there. You’re gonna wanna hear this. Okay, snacks and popcorn are gonna be expensive.

Sonny: Wait. But I–but i thought that– are you sure? Okay. Thank you. Bye.

Leo: Well? What did the good doctor have to say?

Sonny: What the hell did you do to me?

Leo: I hesitate to be specific here in public.

Sonny: Kayla said that there are drugs that can leave your system very quickly. That’s–that’s what you gave me, isn’t it?

Leo: Is this your cute little way of telling me she didn’t find anything?

Sonny: You drugged me, and I know it!

Leo: You might wanna stop saying that–you don’t have any proof. I think that’s called slander. Or is it libel? I always get those two mixed up.

Sonny: Libel is when you put lies into print, and that’s exactly what you did!

Leo: It’s not a lie, babe, and we both know it. You’re a cheating slimeball. Poor will and little arianna–

Sonny: Keep my daughter’s name out of your filthy mouth!

Leo: You didn’t think it was so filthy last night. Or maybe you did.

Sonny: You know what? Go for it, leo. You wanna get rolled back in a rug again? Keep saying garbage like that.

Kate: Lucas, ej is out of prison. So…how did you manage to convince sami that he’s her kidnapper?

Lucas: Well, ej wasn’t found innocent. They just threw the case out.

Kate: Yeah, but what difference does that make?

Lucas: Well, you know, the payments that were sent to the kidnapper that were found in ej’s computer might’ve been there–

Kate: Yeah. Yeah. Because you put them there.

Lucas: Right. Right. But all the other evidence points at ej 100%.

Kate: Lucas, what evidence?

Lucas: Motive. Ej was really upset when sami cheated on him. He was in a rage. He was going crazy. He wanted to kick her out of the house. He would do anything to get her back. And means. We all know the means. You know, the guard who was watching sami said that ej was the boss. So, you know, why would he lie about that?

Kate: Because you ordered him to–that’s why.

Lucas: Yeah, but sami doesn’t know that. And she never will.

Kate: But chad knows. Chad knows that you planted the phony evidence. So what if he decides to tell the truth?

Lucas: No, he won’T. He’s never gonna say anything. He wouldn’t, would he?

Kate: Ohh…

Abigail: I don’t know why i didn’t think about this before. If I can figure out who kidnapped sami brady, our circulation is gonna double. I mean, everybody in the area wants to know what happened.

Chad: Abby–

Abigail: I could get us into one of those true crime podcasts–I have been dying to get us into that market.

Chad: Shouldn’t you ask your mom–your mom and dad first?

Abigail: Why?

Chad: “Why?” They still own the newspaper, don’t they?

Abigail: Yeah, but they left me in charge because they trust me. Besides, it’s a great idea.

Chad: Sure. The cops have probably exhausted all their leads, though.

Abigail: I don’t know. I’m gonna start looking for new sources tomorrow, and maybe I’ll find something new.

Chad: Like what?

Abigail: Like the second kidnapper. They never tracked him down, right? I mean, that is a huge loose end!

Chad: The kidnapping happened six months ago. I’m sure the trail’s gone cold already.

Abigail: Well, it’s worth a shot. Besides, what if it clears ej’s name? Then shin’s gonna be back on his side.

Chad: But honey, ej’s already been cleared.

Abigail: His conviction was overturned–it’s not the same.

Chad: You know, ej’s fine to move past all of this. I mean, don’t you think that you should ask him if it’s okay to do a story?

Abigail: I don’t– I don’t get you right now. Why are you so against this?

Ej: Have you spoken to chanel?

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah, I even, uh, I even asked her to marry me again.

Ej: And?

Johnny: She said she needed time, which I get. She’s still dealing with the idea that I never stopped loving her, that I didn’t break up with her, but neither did allie. Plus, there’s this small problem of paulina being in jail for killing tr.

Ej: Mm. She does have quite a bit to deal with.

Johnny: Yeah. So I told her to take all the time she needs.

Ej: Why would you do a thing like that?

Chanel: Tripp, I’M… sorry.

Tripp: You don’t have a damn thing to be sorry about. It’s not your fault that you’re sort of, you know, irresistible.

Chanel: “Irresistible”? Don’t give me that. I didn’t set out to steal allie away from you.

Tripp: But you have years of history as friends. And now… you know, you’re more. I can’t compete with that. And, honestly, I shouldn’t have to. And that’s why I shut down us getting back together.

Chanel: Couldn’t have been easy.

Tripp: Well, one thing I’ve learned about the devil in all this is that the guy’s good. He knows exactly what to say to make you do whatever he wants. And when I told him to take me instead of allie, he pointed out that I was… always her second choice. I’ve decided I’m okay with it.

Chanel: What? Why?

Tripp: Because I love her enough to want her to have a long and happy life. Whether I’m part of it or not.

Chanel: Do you really mean that?

Tripp: You and allie want to be together. You’re not gonna get any flak from me. I’m in your corner.

Chanel: I…I don’t know what to say. I don’t even know if allie wants us to get back together.

Tripp: I’m pretty sure she does. So I guess now it’s just up to you to decide if that’s what you want. With depression, you just feel…blah.

Leo: Careful, jackson. People are starting to stare. Somebody might snap a phone photo and sell our lovers’ quarrel to the “the intruder.”

Sonny: You’re not gonna get away with this.

Leo: Kinda feels like I already have.

Sonny: If you ever come near me or my family again, I will end you.

Leo: Save your threats, tough guy. I’m gonna focus my energy elsewhere.

Sonny: What the hell does that mean?

Leo: Like I’m gonna confide in you? Let’s just say I’m not done with this town yet.

Will: Why would you give up on chanel? You just told me that you love her.

Allie: I do, but I also love johnny. And I don’t– I don’t wanna hurt him. Jonny and I have been on the outs for a long time now, and this whole situation made us realize that we still really love each other.

Will: I mean, that’s great.

Allie: Yeah, it is.

Will: But does that mean you should sacrifice your own happiness just so johnny can get what he wants?

Allie: You didn’t see johnny and chanel together, okay? They were crazy about each other, and they probably still would be if it wasn’t for… you know. And chanel and I never would have been together.

Will: Well, but you were, right? And, from what you tell me, it was real. So don’t just pretend that it didn’t happen.

Allie: Oh, I don’t know, this is all so confusing.

Will: Yeah, I know. It’s confusing. I-I know the feeling. I was confused. I slept with gabi to prove to myself that I was straight and all it did was, you know, convince me that I was gay. And I got her pregnant.

Allie: Yeah, but you got arianna, and you guys worked it out.

Will: Yeah. But a lot of bad things happened, mostly to gabi, because I was too afraid to go after what I wanted. And I feel for johnny, right? It’s not his fault that his marriage blew up, but that does not mean you just need to step aside. I think it might be best for everyone, for johnny and chanel, if you’re just–you’re just honest.

Allie: Really?

Will: Yeah. Don’t you think chanel deserves to know the facts before she decides what she wants to do with her life?

Chanel: To be dead honest, I don’t know what I want. I used to wish that I had never met allie and johnny. I felt they both played me for a fool. And then I find out that it’s the damn devil!

Tripp: I hear you. It’s unreal.

Chanel: I just… god, we all got played. Allie and johnny never meant to hurt me. I’m so, so confused.

Tripp: I can see why.

Chanel: It’s a huge mess. I was in love with both of them. And–and then I–now, I just–I don’t know who I should be with. Maybe I should just walk away from the whole thing.

Tripp: You could also just give yourself a little time.

Chanel: Yeah, that’s what I told johnny when he said he wanted us to get remarried.

Tripp: Wait, he proposed?

Chanel: He wants us to pick up right where we left off, but I said that I wasn’t ready to make any decisions right now. And so he backed off, and I guess he won’t be putting on the pressure, thank god.

Ej: If you truly love chanel, you can’t just sit back and wait and hope things go your way. You have to fight for her.

Johnny: She’s been through hell, dad.

Ej: It’s not your fault.

Johnny: I’m just trying to think about what she needs.

Ej: And while you’re thinking about what she needs, your sister could be trying to fight and win her back. Is that what you want?

Johnny: Why are you telling me to go after chanel, and when I told you I’d married her, you said she was just after my money?

Ej: I may have judged her too harshly.

Johnny: You did.

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Johnny: What made you change your mind?

Ej: When we rescued you that night, I realized how close I was to losing you. I haven’t been the best father to you lately. I’ve gotten a lot of things wrong. I was too focused on what I wanted for you rather than listening to what you wanted for yourself. If you want chanel, you have my full support. I must say, she’s conducted herself with dignity throughout this whole painful ordeal.

Johnny: Well…thank you for saying all that. But I still think I should back off for a while.

Ej: If I may say one more thing. I have many regrets in my life. And one of the biggest ones right now is not fighting for your mother.

Johnny: Well, I’m surprised to hear you say that.

Ej: We both know I spent years pushing her away. And now she’s with lucas. I don’t want you to live with the same regret. If you truly love chanel, do whatever it takes to be with her. Otherwise, you’ll end up like your old man.

Johnny: Maybe you’re right. Maybe I should fight for her. We hit the bike trails every weekend

Chanel: The last thing you need right now is me unloading my problems on you.

Tripp: Well, if you remember, I asked you how you were doing.

Chanel: I know it hurt you to tell allie it’s over. I know it’s not what you want. It’s because of me. Are we…okay?

Tripp: We’re good. I promise.

Chanel: I’m glad. Being friends with you, it means a lot to me. I haven’t had someone like you in my life in a long time. If you need to lean on me, you go ahead.

Tripp: I feel the same way. We will always be friends. Don’t worry. As long as you keep feeding me, of course.

Will: I should go. But you should take my advice.

Allie: I’ll think about it.

Will: You are so stubborn.

Allie: Okay, well, you’re no pushover yourself.

Will: Well, I guess it runs in the family.

Allie: Yeah. Hey, speaking of family, have you seen dad?

Will: No, is he in town?

Allie: Yeah.

Will: Is he with mom?

Allie: No. I guess she broke her leg skiing, so she can’t fly yet.

Will: Can you believe those two are back together?

Allie: I know.

Will: I mean, they used to fight like cats and dogs.

Allie: It’s crazy. But, hopefully, they’ve learned how to treat each other better, you know? No more plotting. No more secrets.

Will: Yeah. Well, we’ll see how long that lasts.

Allie: Yeah.

Lucas: Chad’s really thinking about ratting me out?

Kate: Well, I mean, he says that he’s going to keep your name out of it, that he’s planning on taking the blame for planting the phony evidence.

Lucas: Okay.

Kate: But the thing is you know ej is going to have a lot of questions.

Lucas: So you think chad will be willing to stir up a little trouble?

Kate: Well, he said that ej is a changed man. Since he got back from prison, the two of them actually made peace. And now I think that, for chad, the guilt is really weighing on him, you know?

Lucas: Oh, great. Just what I need.

Kate: Oh, yeah, principled persons–they’re really a pain, aren’t they? But, trust me, I think I convinced him to keep his mouth shut.

Lucas: Wait a minute, you think you did or you know you did? Did you get through to him or not?

Kate: I told him that ej would be furious. I told him that the reconciliation would be history, and also that he would be admitting he planted the phony evidence, and also that he perjured himself, so…

Lucas: Right. Right. He’d be looking at jail time too, right?

Kate: Right. I think he knows it’s not worth what he’d get for clearing his conscience.

Lucas: So it sounds to me like I’m good, like I’m in the clear, like I got nothing to worry about.

Kate: I think so, honey. For now. But do you really think you’re going to be able to keep a secret like this from a nosy woman like sami?

Chad: I just don’t think it’s safe for you to be hunting down some clown who kidnaps women for money.

Abigail: I’m not stupid. I know how to be careful.

Chad: Yeah, but you have to–you have to say that you’re a reporter when you’re asking questions, right? What if that gets back to the wrong person?

Abigail: Why are you borrowing trouble?

Chad: Because I saw what happened when you started looking into sarah’s disappearance–I could’ve lost you.

Abigail: But you didn’T. Everything turned out okay.

Chad: We got lucky.

Abigail: Look, for a story this big, I’m gonna have to take some risks.

Chad: Even if it turns out that you’re–that you could be pregnant? Fishing helps ease my mind.

Will: I can’t believe the drugs were already out of your system.

Sonny: And the cookies are gone too, so there’s no way to actually prove that leo drugged me.

Will: I am so sorry. I hate that guy so much.

Sonny: Yeah, me too. It took everything inside of me not to just deck the guy.

Will: Do you think he’ll try something else?

Sonny: I don’t know. He said something about focusing his energy elsewhere.

Will: Yeah. I wonder what that’s about.

Sonny: I don’t know. But I don’t like it.

[Edgy music]

Leo: Guess what. Uncle leo has a big surprise for the two of you.

Abigail: Okay. Well, now you’re not fighting fair.

Chad: Why? Because I’m trying to proct you and the baby that you may be carrying?

Abigail: I’m probably not even pregnant.

Chad: Well, I can tell you one thing. I am ready to put my shoulder to the wheel…and we will not give up until I put a baby inside of you.

Abigail: You’re just trying to change the subject.

Lucas: Yeah, I know forever. That’s why I gotta live this lie for a while.

Kate: [Whispers] Oh, my god. Lucas, please, you know these secrets have a way of coming out. You know that.
