THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I brought you some painkillers. Oh, thanks. I’m fine.

How’s Mayor Carver? He’s still in the hospital. He’s recovering from surgery and it looks like he’ll be okay. Thank God. Please, Colin will be charged with murder. Now

you bitch, you’re doing. I beg your pardon? I’m sorry. I, I know you’re pulling a price

and I thought. Waiting for the doctors to finish. Operating was bad. Sitting here seeing you like this.

Come on, Abraham. You’ve been outta surgery for hours now. Biggest time that you opened those big, beautiful eyes and came back to us. Can you do that for my love? Please

wake up. Well, you heard what Taylor said, mama. He suffered a serious head trauma and then there was a long surgery. His body needs time to recover. He should come around soon. Oh damn. Colored Bedford. Whacking my sweetheart in the head like that. Oh, that son of a bitch is pure evil. Yeah. Told you too. She played a big part in this.

Oh. Oh, you don Oh, I can’t take it anymore. I’m gonna, I’m gonna go have to find, okay. I’ll stay here with you. Okay. Thanks baby.

Nicole. Hey, why haven’t you called me? You said you got the swab right? That’s in my hand as we speak. Can you meet me at the park in an hour? That, um, little area near the rec center. I’ll be there. And Sloan, I, I’m. I am really grateful that you got the sample from Eric. Yeah, well, like I said, I have a vested interest.

I’m just hoping to hell. His DNA is not a match for that baby you’re carrying.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Nicole, Anna. Hi. So how did it go last night? Were you able to get a, a DNA sample from each a. Unfortunately, no. No, but that sleeping pill should have knocked him out like a light. I, I’m sure it would’ve if he had taken it, but he got called away on business before he could. Oh no. Darn it. Well, when do you expect him back?

I don’t know, but, uh, it doesn’t matter. What are you talking about? How will you get a sample now? I don’t have to. Sloane did she got one from Eric last night.

Oh, that was fast. Helps when you know the owner, I got us an egg sandwich with cheese and a black coffee for you. Ah, that’s so sweet of you. Yeah. Do you mind if I just take it to go though? I kind of wanna get to the hospital and check on Colin. Yeah. Well, you need to take a test first, right? Test. Yeah. The virus outbreak that you and Nicole went on and on about, on the 10th floor.

Remember you even said you had to prove it to the hospital that you weren’t carrying the virus before they let you visit. Oh, right. Actually, I just called the hospital. They said apparently, I don’t know, they contained the virus. So I don’t have to take the test today. Great. Truth is you never had to take a test, did you?

So you think I’m pulling a price? Huh? What? Do all black women look alike to you? No. No, no. I just, I only seen you from the back and a little on edge, as you can imagine. Yeah. On edge and nasty and rude here. This is some medicine to ease your pain. Although you don’t really deserve it, do you for all the pain that you caused our beloved mayor, no full story.

All right. Uh, maybe I should just ask to assign another nurse. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Mr. Bedford, I am your nurse whether you like it or not, and I will do my professional best to heal your body, but you are gonna have to heal your own soul. You hear me? Young man, it’s gonna take prayer and, and humility and repenting for your sins and.

If you believe this with your whole heart, maybe the good Lord will see fit to allow you entry into the kingdom of heaven.

You’re seriously worried about that monster at a time like this. Have you forgotten where you are and what you did to aid? And I bet that son of a bitch, the only person that you need to worry about right now is Talia. Look, okay. I know this is bad, okay? But I mean, this is my first defense. They can’t go that hard on me.

Right? Wrong. I just had a visit with Da Trask and she intends to throw the fuck at you. Wait, what? You can’t be surprised. She was one of your victims. She ended up in the hospital thanks to your poisoned biscuits. She could have died, although as as tragic as I would’ve been. I mean, that would’ve been better for you because now you have a pissed off.

A very pissed off district attorney who is gunning for you. Love you. Why Talia? What the hell were you thinking?

You don’t deserve to be lying in this bed. You wouldn’t be If I hadn’t gotten involved in Nathan Bedford all those years ago. Everyone keeps saying that it, it isn’t my fault that he was in a position of power and he, he took advantage of me, but I can’t help feeling responsible for what happened to you.

Colin wanted Mama and me to pay, and now you’re stuck suffering the consequences. And for that I am so, so sorry.

Oh my God.

Oh, oh, I got you. You’re awake. I I wait until I’m gonna get back. Actually, I’m gonna, I’m gonna text her. I’m gonna text her right now. Where,

where am I? Oh, um, you’re, you’re in the hospital. Do you remember what happened?

Well, um, you were attacked, you were hit over the head and then you had to get brain surgery, but now you’re awake and you’re gonna be okay. Thank God. Thank God.

Who are you?

Colin Bedford. I’m Commissioner Hernandez. As you know, you’re under arrest. I just wanted you to know that you’re gonna be facing a long list of charges. Attempted murder, kidnapping, false imprisonment. Is that it? Well, I’ve probably forgotten about a few, but, uh, well, there’s plenty of time for that. In fact, your doctors tell me that you’re all enough to be discharged.

So I got a detail on its way down here to take you to the station. Well, you’ll be booked, officially charged, and then, uh, taken to a holding cell. What about Talia? What about Talia? Anyone should be charged with attempted murder.

Help me understand this. Okay. You graduated at the top of your med school class. You had your pick of residencies all across the country. You were on track to star what was sure to be an amazing career. But instead you, you threw that all away. To what? To come to Salem. To what? To terrorize two people that you didn’t even know.

I didn’t terrorize them then, what would you call it, Talia, you trash polling in’s office. You, you tried to ruin Chanel’s business by poisoning half the town. People were seriously hurt because of you. Okay. I get it. Okay. I feel bad enough as it is. I get it.

Oh, I don’t think that you do, and I wasn’t kidding earlier. You are incredibly lucky that no one suffered permanent damage or worse. Why Talia? Why in God’s name would you wanna hurt so many people that you don’t even know? I mean, especially Paul and Chanel. I did it for Colin, but that’s what I don’t understand.

What kinda spell did the sick bastard have you under? Why would you do it? What would make you do this?

Sloan got a DNA sample from Eric. You mean that woman that Eric has been seeing? Yes, she found out that I was pregnant through an unhappy accident, although maybe not so unhappy because she agreed to help me get the samples for the paternity test, and she got a swab from Eric last night. Okay. Well that’s good, but don’t you need to get a swab from EJ as well?

Well, only if this was a legal case and hopefully it will never go there. But Kayla said she only needs one sample for comparison. And if she does have a swab from Eric and the d n A doesn’t match, then, then the baby must be ejs.

Listen, I, I have to go, I’m, I’m meeting Sloan at the park and she’s gonna give me the swab. Okay. Okay. But Nicole, there is one thing I’ve been meaning to ask you. Okay. What is it, Anna? Well, I know I did ask you before if, if you wanted this baby to be Eric’s and you didn’t answer me, so, um, maybe if I ask you a different question, if you find out that this baby is Eric’s, what does that mean for you and ej?

Honestly, I, I’ve been so stressed out about who this baby belongs to. I, I haven’t even thought about it. Well, I can only assume he will be fairly upset. Yeah. Especially since he just told me he loves me. He did right after he proposed,

Eric, what are you talking about? Why wouldn’t I have to take a test? I talked to my mother. I was checking on Abe to see how he was doing or if I could visit him today. Or if the hospital still had restrictions on visitors because of the virus. She had no idea what I was talking about. Okay. Well, maybe she just wasn’t aware.

I mean, Eric, your mother’s been slow. Stop. I know you were lying. You lied to me yesterday. You and Nicole didn’t have to take some test for some non-existent virus. What was that test for?

You’re clearly keeping something from me. I want to know what you gonna call are up to, and you’re gonna tell me right now.

Okay, fine. We are keeping something from you

close pregnant.

Pregnant? Yes.

When were you gonna tell me? She begged me not to.

She’s not sure. She doesn’t even know when she conceived. She doesn’t know if it was. With EJ or the night the two of you got high on those biscuits,

that explains the swab.

Yeah.

I just don’t understand. How did you get involved in this?

I found out Nicole was pregnant because she dropped her prenatal vitamins in front of me, and then I just happened to run into her again after Kayla had given her a paternity test kit. Yeah, she didn’t know how she was gonna get the DNA n a samples from you or EJ without one of you knowing. So I told her I could get one from you, which I did.

BJ proposed. When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me? Well, because I turned him down. I, I didn’t feel like it was a sincere proposal. Not sincere. Let’s just say EJ started caving to peer pressure. We found out that Stephan. Proposed to Gabby. So EJ started to get worried and soon they would be a couple and it would look like that Stefan had the advantage and you know, more people in the rinks, so to speak.

So EJ thought if he proposed to me, there would be another dememer on his side. At least that’s how I saw it. And you told him that’s how you saw it? Oh yes. I was very blunt. Yeah. Well, I can’t imagine that he reacted well to that.

Actually, that’s when he told me he loved me. Oh, I almost forgot that part. That very important part. So how did you react to that? Do you love ej? Nicole? Look, I told you why I did it. Colin convinced me of how awful Paulina and Chante were and that justified C committed crimes against them because that sick bastard decided that they needed to be punished.

Look, it’s not like I said yes right away. I was against it at first.

But then I saw how much it meant to him, and he said If I truly loved him, then I would do whatever he wanted. Dear God, look, I was afraid of losing him, so you did whatever this guy said because you were afraid that he would leave you. I was in love, Gina. Okay, and when you’re in love, I don’t know. You, you do things that make that person happy, not illegal.

Criminal cruel things. Talia, you’re smarter than that. You are a better person than that. Yeah. Well, apparently not. Jayna. I tried, I I tried to talk him out of it. I swear I did, I promise. But every single time I tried to convince him that what we were doing were wrong and that Paulina and Chanel were actually cut decent people.

I don’t know. He, he would just get mad and I would, I would just drop him. What do you mean? He would get mad. He had a temper and he would accuse me of not caring enough of being a coward. Did he ever get violent with you? Talia? Did he ever hurt you? Answer me, Talia.

That double crossing bitch pushed me off the very Oh, that’s lovely. Double crossing, bitch. That’s how you describe your girlfriend. Huh? I would, just so you know, she’s also been arrested for her. Pardon? Your crimes? My crimes. She’s the one who Tres pointing his office. Who poisoned the biz? Yeah. Well, from what I understand, you’re the one who put her up to all of it.

Is that what she said? I swear I never held a gun to her head. She’s a grown woman and she can make her own decisions. I. Never ever forced her to do a damn thing that she didn’t want to do. Uhhuh. Right. Well, I guess that’s something that two of you can discuss with your lawyers, but uh, right now you got a date with the jail cell.

So, uh, few. Excuse me. I’m gonna see what’s keeping your transfer.

Hey, it’s me, Chanel.

Yeah. Yeah. I I’m your stepdaughter. Uh, you married my mom last year. Paulina Paulina Price. She’s your wife. Look, look, I’ll show you a picture

here. The ceremony was last Juneteenth. It was in the park, and it was such a wonderful ceremony and so full of love surrounded with family and friends. See, there’s mama. She’s beautiful, isn’t she? You remember her now, don’t you?

That woman.

You don’t recognize my mother, your wife. Sorry, I, I, I don’t, and you don’t recognize me either.

Okay. You know what? I am gonna go grab the doctors and I’m gonna tell them you’re awake cuz this might just be effects from the anesthesia. Are gonna leave me alone, Chantel. Chanel and I will be right back.

What? No, Colin never hit me. Well, you just said that he would get mad at you. And, and that’s why you would do the things that he asked of you. Yes. That, that’s true. Colin has a temper. I mean, he’ll even tell you that, but you have to know it’s because his parents died in the most awful way possible. Okay.

And he’s, he’s never recovered from that. So yes, he gets upset when things don’t go his way, and when he did get mad at me, it’s like he was sorry. Almost immediately. He would literally go out of his way to make it up to me, to show me how much he loved me. Like he’d, he’d go get me little presents. He would tell me how beautiful I was to him and how special I was to him.

My God. Snap outta it. Talia, can you please not be mad at me too? Oh God, I’m sorry. Okay. I’m sorry I’m not, I’m not mad at you. I am mad at this situation. I’m mad that I was oblivious to any of this going on. I’m, I’m sad heartbroken. Really? How could I have not known that you have been in an abusive relationship?

Wait, no. I, I literally just told you, Colin never hit me. Like not even once, Talia, you and I both know that there are other kinds of abuse.

Bedford’s discharge papers have been processed and he’s ready to be taken to the station. Oh, Ray Frank. Well, I’m glad you’re here. Yeah. The prisoners in room 10 14. I’ll be there in a few minutes. Yeah. What’s up, Paulina? Wait, is Abe okay? No, then that’s the problem and he, he still hasn’t woken up from his surgery and I, I can’t find Kayla anywhere.

Okay, well, hold on. I’m sure that Kayla is with the patient. Someone here can probably help you find her. Well, even if I do find her, you, uh, I’m almost too scared to even ask about Abe’s condition, you know, almost lost 10 months before, and now with them taking so long to come back to me. Well, I’m just a You don’t, worried I don’t, I’m, I don’t, I don’t.

Paulina. Hi, Paulina. Breathe. Okay. Okay. There you go. Hey. Hey. Keep breathing. All right, Uhhuh. Okay. Better help’s helping. Okay. Good. Okay. Is this help? Oh, yeah, that does. It does. It helps. It does help. Oh, I’m sorry. This happening here too. No, I love that man. I hate that this has happened to him. Listen, no, listen.

The best way that we can help babe. It’s by helping ourselves. Okay. But take care of yourself. Yes. Yes. Okay. Yes, yes, you’re right. I, I do know that. Okay, good. You know, good. And I know the best way that I can help Abe is by finding the bastard that did this to him and making him pay. Yes. All right. So he’s, find someone who can tell you what Kayla is and I’m gonna go do my job.

Okay. All right. Okay. Good. All. Hey, hey. And remember you help babe by taking care of yourself, okay? Yes. All right, babe. Forbes sake.

Hello, you. You are awake. How are you feeling,

Pauline? Excuse me. I know. I don’t know who you are. You’re my wife.

You took a swab of my DNA without me knowing.

How,

what do you think? Come on. You know, you sleep like a rock

now.

Supposed to go deliver this to Nicole? No, don’t. Don’t you have a brother to go see?

But what about Nicole? I can take it from here.

Oh, come on Nicole. Do you love ej? Or am I just being too nosy as usual? No, no. Anna, you are not being nosy. I know you’re only asking because, you know, you’re concerned for me and, and for ej, but it, it’s just, it’s, it’s complicated. Mm-hmm. EJ and I haven’t been back together that long and, and, and like I said, I.

I do care for him and we do have a long history and it obviously, I loved him enough at one time to, to marry him not long ago. And

I’m just, I’m just confused. That’s Holland. I really, I really need to know who this baby’s father is because if, if it is ejs, And Eric’s no longer in the picture then, oh, come on, honey. Honey, why don’t I put the question in another way and maybe it’ll be easier for you to answer. Hmm. Is it Eric that you love?

Oh, sweetie. I’m not trying to put you on the spot, and I hope you know that no matter what I am on your side. I do, I do know that, Anna, but please, can you, can you stop? Asking me questions and, and giving me advice because I just can’t deal with it right now. Oh, I understand. I understand. I, I, I really do need to be going.

Of course, of course. Honey, you are going to be strong. Because you know, no matter what happens, you’re gonna take care of things because you have to, right For the baby.

Thank you. What are you gonna do with that?

My guy said I’ll handle it. You have enough to worry about with your brother?

Yeah. So how to get to the hospital then,

Eric? Yeah. If this child does turn out to be yours,

I really hope it doesn’t change anything between us.

Talia. You know very well that emotional abuse is a real thing, and it sounds to me like that’s how Colin was abusing you.

Based on what? Based on what, how could you ask that this guy had you committing crimes for him and you told me that he had a temper? Uh, I’m not naive. Okay. Like, yes, I know that Colin has done some terrible things, but I mean, he didn’t just do them for no reason. Say that he had a hard life. You know, I believe we had a conversation about this sometime before Natalia, and I believe that I pointed out that a lot of people have had a hard life and they don’t resort to trying to murder people.

In fact, I know a lot of people who have had a hard life, and you know what? It’s made them stronger because they had to fight. They had to be resilient. I mean, Talia, how can you just sit here and be okay and give this man a pass because he had a hard life. So you’re telling me that anything Colin Bedford does is justified?

No, of course not. He could have killed Mayor Carver. He could have killed Paulina and Chanel. Hell, he could have killed me. Look, I know that. Okay. Why do you think that I pushed him off the roof. That is why I was trying to save you. I was trying to save Chanel. I was trying to save Paulina, and I know that I’ve made a lot of excuses for Colin before.

When I saw him point that gun at Chanel Jay, I know she knew I had to do something. I couldn’t just let him shoot her. I could not let her. Mama. Oh, what? Oh, sweetheart, I thought you were staying with Abe. Abe was awake. What? He woke up a few minutes ago. Oh, thank the Lord. Oh, oh, oh. I have to go see him. Okay.

Wait, wait, wait. Before you do, there’s something you need to know. Oh, okay. What is it? Uh, well, when he woke up, he didn’t recognize me. What? Oh, no, honey. Oh, please. Now I’m sure he, he, he’s just confused now. Come on now, let. Here. Let’s go see him together. He didn’t recognize you either. I, I, I showed him your picture and he said he’d never seen you before in his life.

What? No, no, no, no. I’m sure that’s just the drugs talking. Come on, you take me to him right now. Okay.

You’re asking if I’m your wife. Yes.

Now I, I, I’m. I’m not sure. I, I’m sorry. I, I just, oh, I just can’t seem to remember anything.

I, uh, except, except that there was a,

there is a young woman. And, uh, she said, uh, she said that she was your daughter, Chanel. Mm-hmm. Chanel. She, she, she was just in here, just in here,

and she showed me a. She showed me a picture of our wedding. She said we were married a year ago and, and, but she didn’t, she didn’t mention you were a nurse. Oh.

So you don’t remember anything at all? No, not much. Not much. Anyway, I. But your daughter Chanel,

she said I was attacked. Yes, yes, yes, that is correct. You were attacked by a horrible and despicable man, and I don’t see how anyone could hurt anyone As Sweden and kind as you are. Gentle. And the worst part of all is that you’re still in danger. Danger. Why? Because that horrible man is in this hospital right now as we speak.

Oh my darling. Sweet, sweet, Abraham, you are not safe.

Okay.

Listen, let’s just forget about calling Bedford for now. Huh? We need to get you arraign. I hired Bere to represent you. Wait, you got me a lawyer? Of course. What’d you think? I’d abandon you?

You’re my sister. I love you.

I love you too, Jada. And I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry about everything.

Shaw. What the hell happened? I went to unlock the guy and got the better of me. What? So, so pet got away. Oh my god.

Don’t worry, mama. I’m, I’m sure as soon as eight sees you, it all come rushing back. Oh, oh my God. Where is he? Where’s my husband? Where is he?

Don’t you worry my sweet Abraham, you are. Safe with me now.

Okay, little one. It’s time to find out who your father is.

Update written by Joseph

Talia sits in the interrogation room with her arm in a sling. Jada enters and brings her painkillers but Talia says she’s fine as Jada removes her handcuffs. Talia asks how Abe is. Jada responds that he’s still in the hospital and recovering from surgery but it looks like he will be okay. Talia is relieved that Colin won’t be charged with murder now.

Colin wakes up in his hospital bed and thinks his nurse is Paulina.

Paulina sits at Abe’s side in the hospital, complaining about waiting for him to wake up. Paulina urges him to open his eyes, noting the surgery was hours ago. Chanel enters the room. Paulina questions why Abe won’t wake up. Chanel encourages that his body just needs time to recover and he should wake up soon. Paulina calls Colin pure evil. Chanel points out that Talia played a big part in this too. Paulina decides she’s going to find Kayla while Chanel stays with Abe.

Sloan is at her apartment with her cheek swab of Eric when she gets a call from Nicole, who questions why she hasn’t called her. Sloan asks Nicole to meet her at the park in an hour. Nicole says she’ll be there and tells Sloan that she’s really grateful that she got the sample from Eric. Sloan repeats that she has a vested interest and she hopes like hell that Eric’s DNA is not a match for the baby Nicole is carrying.

Anna joins Nicole in the living room of the DiMera Mansion and asks if she was able to get a DNA sample from EJ. Nicole says unfortunately no, explaining that EJ got called away on business before he could take the sleeping pill. Anna asks when she expects him back. Nicole doesn’t know but says it doesn’t matter. Anna questions how she will get a sample now. Nicole reveals that she doesn’t have to because Sloan got one from Eric last night.

Eric brings Sloan a sandwich and coffee. Sloan thanks him and says she’s going to take it to go because she wants to go see Colin at the hospital. Eric asks if she’s going to take a test because of the virus outbreak that she and Nicole were going on about. Sloan claims that she called the hospital and they said they got the virus contained, so she doesn’t have to take a test anymore. Eric guesses the truth is that she never had to take a test.

Colin’s nurse asks if he’s saying all black women look alike. Colin explains that he only saw her from behind and he’s a little on edge. She calls him nasty and rude. She says she has some medicine for him even though he doesn’t deserve it after what he did to Abe. Colin offers to ask for another nurse but she says she is his nurse and will heal his body, but he will have to heal his own soul which will take prayer, humility, and repenting for his sins then maybe the Lord will allow him in to Heaven. The nurse then exits the room as Rafe enters.

Jada questions Talia being worried about Colin at a time like this and asks if she’s forgotten where she is and what she did. Jada tells Talia that the only person she needs to worry about right now is herself. Talia knows it’s bad but argues that it’s her first offense so they can’t go that hard on her. Jada tells her that she’s wrong as she just met with Melinda and she plans to throw the book at her. Jada adds that she can’t be surprised since Melinda was one of her victims and ended up in the hospital thanks to her poisoned biscuits and could’ve died. Jada remarks that would’ve been better for Talia because now she has a very pissed off district attorney gunning for her. Jada questions what the hell Talia was thinking.

Chanel sits at Abe’s side and talks about how he doesn’t deserve to be in this bed and he wouldn’t be if she hadn’t gotten involved with Nathan Bedford all those years ago. Chanel says everyone says he took advantage of her but she can’t help but feel responsible because Abe is now paying the consequences. Chanel cries that she’s so sorry for that. Abe then wakes up which excites Chanel, who says she will text Paulina right now. Abe asks where he is. Chanel informs him that he’s in the hospital after being attacked over the head and had to get brain surgery, but now he’s awake and is going to be okay. Abe then questions who Chanel is.

Rafe introduces himself to Colin and says he just wanted him to know that he will be facing a long list of charges including attempted murder, kidnapping, and false imprisonment. Rafe adds that doctors say he’s well enough to be discharged so he has to take him down to the police station where he’ll be booked, officially charged, and taken to a holding cell. Colin asks what about Talia and remarks that the only one that should be charged with attempted murder is her.

Jada asks Talia to help her understand, going over how she graduated at the top of her class and was on track to start an amazing career but she threw it all away to come to Salem to terrorize two people that she didn’t even know. Talia claims she didn’t terrorize them. Jada goes over how Talia trashed Paulina’s office and ruined Chanel’s business while getting half the town sick. Talia says she gets it and feels bad enough as it is. Jada doesn’t think that she does. Jada repeats that Talia is incredibly lucky that no one suffered permanent damage or worse. Jada asks why Talia wanted to hurt so many people that she didn’t even know, especially Paulina and Chanel. Talia responds that she did it for Colin. Jada says that’s what she doesn’t understand and asks what kind of spell he had her under. Jada questions what would make her do this.

Anna questions Nicole about Sloan getting a DNA sample from Eric. Nicole explains that Sloan found out that she was pregnant by accident, but she agreed to help her get the sample for her paternity test and got a swab from Eric last night. Anna asks if she doesn’t need a swab from EJ as well. Nicole says that’s only if it was a legal case and hopefully it will never go there. Nicole adds that Kayla said she only needed one swab, so if the DNA from Eric doesn’t match then the baby must be EJ’s. Nicole says she has to go meet Sloan at the park to get the swab. Anna stops her and reminds her that she didn’t answer when she asked if she wanted the baby to be Eric’s. Anna now asks what it means for her and EJ if she finds out the baby is Eric’s. Nicole says she’s been so stressed out about who the baby belongs to that she hasn’t even thought about that. Anna assumes that EJ will be fairly upset. Nicole says that’s especially because EJ just told her that he loves her, right after he proposed.

Sloan questions what Eric is talking about and why she wouldn’t have to take a test. Eric reveals that he talked to Marlena about trying to visit Abe and he asked about the virus outbreak but she had no idea what he was talking about. Sloan tries to suggest maybe she just wasn’t aware. Eric tells her to stop because he knows she’s lying. Eric argues that she and Nicole didn’t have to take some test for a non existant virus and he questions what the test was for. Eric says she is clearly keeping something from him and he wants to know what she and Nicole are up to. Eric demands that Sloan tell him right now. Sloan gives in and admits they are keeping something from him. Sloan then reveals to Eric that Nicole is pregnant. Eric is shocked and asks when she was going to tell him. Sloan responds that Nicole begged her not to. Eric questions why and if the baby is his. Sloan admits that Nicole is not sure and doesn’t know if it was with EJ or the night she and Eric got high on the biscuits. Eric realizes that explains the swab but he still doesn’t understand how Sloan got involved in this. Sloan explains that she found out because Nicole dropped her pre-natal vitamins in front of her and then she happened to run in to her again after Kayla gave her the paternity test and she didn’t know how to get the DNA samples from Eric or EJ without them knowing, so she told her that she could get one from Eric which she did.

Anna excitedly asks Nicole about EJ proposing and why she didn’t tell her. Nicole reveals that she turned him down because she didn’t feel like it was a sincere proposal. Nicole says that EJ started caving to peer pressure after they found out Stefan proposed to Gabi which caused EJ to worry that Stefan had the advantage and more people in the ranks, so EJ thought proposing to her would mean another DiMera on his side which is at least how she saw it. Anna doesn’t imagine EJ reacted well to that. Nicole responds that it’s actually when EJ told her that he loved her. Anna asks how Nicole reacted to that and if she loves EJ.

Talia tells Jada that she told her that Colin convinced her of how awful Paulina and Chanel were. Jada questions her being justified because Colin decided they needed to be punished. Talia argues that she didn’t say yes right away and she was against it at first, but then she saw how much it meant to him and he said if she truly loved him, that she would do whatever he wanted. Talia cries that she was afraid of losing Colin as she was in love with him and when you’re in love, you do things to make that person happy. Jada argues that you don’t do illegal, criminal, and cruel things. Jada says that Talia is smarter and a better person than that. Talia says apparently not. Talia swears she tried to talk to Colin out of it, but every time that she tried to convince him that Paulina and Chanel are good, decent people, he would just get mad so she would drop it. Jada asks what she means by he would get mad. Talia admits that Colin has a temper and would accuse her of not caring enough or being a coward. Jada asks if Colin ever got violent and hurt her. Jada demands that Talia answer her.

Colin tells Rafe that Talia is the double crossing bitch that pushed him off the roof. Rafe questions that being how he describes his girlfriend. Rafe informs Colin that Talia has also been arrested for her part in his crimes. Colin argues that Talia is the one who trashed Paulina’s office and poisoned the biscuits. Rafe says he understands that Colin put her up to all of it. Colin swears that he never put a gun to Talia’s head and she’s a grown woman so he couldn’t force her to do a damn thing that she didn’t want to do. Rafe guesses they can discuss that with their lawyers, but right now, he has a date with a jail cell. Rafe says he will go check on his transfer and exits the room.

Chanel tells Abe who she is and reminds him of Paulina by showing him a picture of their wedding. Abe says he’s sorry but he doesn’t remember her, claiming he has never seen that woman before in his life. Chanel questions Abe not recognizing her or Paulina. Chanel decides that she will go get the doctors to tell them that he’s awake. Abe questions her leaving him alone. Chanel assures that she will be right back as she exits.

Talia tells Jada that Colin never hit her and that he only has a temper because his parents died in the most awful way possible and he never recovered from that, so he gets upset when things don’t go his way. Talia adds that when Colin did get upset at her, he was sorry almost immediately and would go out of his way to make it up to her and show how much he loved her. Jada yells at her to snap out of it. Talia asks Jada not to be mad at her too. Jada says she’s not, but is mad at the situation and that she was oblivious to any of this going on. Jada feels heartbroken for not knowing that Talia has been in an abusive relationship. Talia repeats that Colin never hit her once. Jada says they both know that there are other kinds of abuse.

Rafe informs the cop at the hospital that the discharge papers are complete and Colin is ready to be taken to jail. Paulina comes over and says she’s glad Rafe is there. Rafe asks what’s up and if Abe is okay. Paulina says that’s the problem because Abe hasn’t woken up from his surgery and she can’t find Kayla. Rafe is sure Kayla is with a patient and that someone can help find her. Paulina admits that she’s almost too scared to ask about Abe’s condition as she worries. Rafe encourages her to breathe as he hugs her which Paulina admits does help. Rafe assures that he loves Abe and hates that this has happened to him, but the best way they can help him is by helping themselves. Rafe reminds Paulina to take care of herself. Rafe knows the best way he can help Abe is by finding the bastard that did this to him and making him pay. Rafe tells Paulina to find someone to tell her where Kayla is while he goes to do his job. Rafe reminds Paulina that it helps Abe to take care of herself as he walks away.

The nurse from Colin’s room enters Abe’s room and he also imagines that she is Paulina, saying that he knows she is his wife.

Eric questions Sloan taking a swab of his DNA without him knowing. Sloan admits she did it while he was asleep and now she’s supposed to go deliver it to Nicole. Eric stops her and tells her that she has a brother to go see, while he can take this from here.

Anna asks Nicole if she loves EJ or if she’s just being too nosy as usual. Nicole knows she’s only asking because she’s concerned for them, but says it’s complicated as she and EJ haven’t been back together that long. Nicole assures that she does care for him and they have a long history. Nicole states that she did love EJ enough to marry him not long ago. Nicole says she’s just confused and really needs to know who the baby’s father is, because if it is EJ then Eric is no longer in the picture. Anna then asks if it’s Eric that she loves. Anna says she’s not trying to put her on the spot and that she’s on her side, no matter what. Nicole asks Anna to stop asking her questions and giving her advice because she can’t deal with it right now. Nicole says she needs to get going. Anna hugs her and encourages her to be strong because no matter what happens, she’s going to take care of things because she has to for the baby. Anna then exits the room as Nicole holds back tears.

Sloan gives Eric the swab and asks what he’s going to do with it. Eric repeats that he will handle it as Sloan has enough to worry about with her brother. Sloan decides she will get to the hospital then. Sloan adds that if Nicole’s child does turn out to be Eric’s, she really hopes it doesn’t change anything between them. Sloan then exits her apartment.

Jada tells Talia that she knows very well that emotional abuse is a real thing and it sounds to her like that’s how Colin was abusing her. Talia questions what that is based on. Jada argues that Colin had her committing crimes for him and he had a temper. Talia argues that she knows Colin has done some terrible things but they weren’t for no reason since he had a hard life. Jada believes they’ve had a conversation like this before and that people with hard lives don’t resort to trying to murder people. Jada encourages that it made people stronger because they had to fight. Jada questions Talia giving Colin a pass just because he had a hard life and asks if everything he does is justified. Jada adds that Colin could have killed Abe, Paulina, Chanel, and her. Talia cries that she knows that and that’s why she pushed him off the roof. Talia says she was trying to save Jada, Chanel, and Paulina. Talia knows she’s made a lot of excuses for Colin before but when she saw him point the gun at Chanel, she knew she had to do something and couldn’t just let him shoot her or hurt her.

Chanel finds Paulina at the hospital and informs her that Abe woke up. Paulina is excited and wants to go see him but Chanel reveals that Abe didn’t recognize her. Paulina is sure that Abe is just confused and suggests they go see him together. Chanel adds that she showed Abe her picture and he said he’s never seen her before in his life. Paulina is sure it’s just the drugs talking and asks Chanel to take her to Abe now, so they walk off together.

The nurse questions Abe asking if she is his wife. Abe apologizes and gets upset as he says he can’t seem to remember anything, except Chanel being in there and showing him a picture of their wedding but he didn’t mention her being a nurse. The nurse questions Abe not remember anything at all which he confirms. Abe brings up Chanel saying that he was attacked. The nurse confirms that he was attacked by a horrible, despicable man and she doesn’t see how anyone could hurt a man as sweet, kind, and gentle as Abe. She adds that the worst part is that he’s still in danger because that horrible man is in the hospital right now as they speak, so Abe is not safe.

Rafe returns to Colin’s hospital room but is shocked by what he finds.

Jada tells Talia to forget about Colin for now as they need to get her arraigned. Jada informs Talia that she hired Belle as her lawyer which surprises Talia. Jada asks if she thought she would abandon her when she is her sister and she loves her. Talia cries that she loves her too and she’s so sorry about everything.

Rafe finds his cop in Colin’s room, now cuffed to the bed with his clothes swapped and questions what the hell happened. He informs Rafe that he went to unlock Colin, but he got the better of him. Rafe can’t believe that Colin got away.

Colin sneaks through the hospital, now in a cop uniform. Sloan arrives so Colin hides around the corner as she walks by. Colin then escapes through the elevator.

Chanel brings Paulina to Abe’s room and tells her not to worry as she’s sure when Abe sees her, it will all come back. They then discover that Abe is gone so Paulina questions where the hell her husband is.

The nurse wheels Abe through the hospital and tells him not to worry because he’s safe with her now as they wait on the elevator.

Nicole prepares to leave the DiMera Mansion and declares that it’s time to find out who her baby’s father is. Nicole opens the door right as Eric arrives.

Update written by Joseph

Gwen works in her room at the Salem Inn when Xander shows up at the door. Gwen questions what he wants and if it has to do with work because she’s busy. Xander says it does and guesses her bad mood is because Kyle at work turned in his resignation and now she’s scrambling to clean up the mess she made. Gwen argues that she only suggested he and his team worked harder while Xander argues that he quit because she cussed him out. Gwen complains that he was looking for a reason to quit since she shoved Jack off of his own paper, which she states she did for Xander. Gwen repeats that she’s very busy and tells Xander to get the hell out so she can pull a new sales manager out of a hat. Xander tells her that she doesn’t have to because he already found one in Chloe Lane. Gwen says over her dead body.

Brady shows up to see Chloe at her apartment and says he’s sorry for not calling before showing up. Chloe mentions already having the pleasure of running in to Kristen. Brady asks if she threatened her or anything. Chloe says no and that it was fine. Brady is sure Kristen will leave her alone now that they are no longer together. Chloe remarks that as always, Kristen got what she wanted. Brady says he doesn’t want to talk about Kristen as he has a proposition for Chloe.

Alex is with Stephanie at her home and they have beers. Alex talks about not having to worry about being clear-headed since he’s unemployed and can work remote. Stephanie still thinks he just needs to give Maggie time to cool down and she will realize how much Titan needs him. Alex says he won’t hold his breath because screwing up that deal for Maggie was the last straw. Alex declares that his career at Titan is over.

Justin enters the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion and welcomes Maggie home. Maggie tells him that Victor is resting as he didn’t sleep at all on the plane. Justin is surprised they came home rather than stay in Greece with Bo. Maggie explains that the doctors are moving Bo to a long term care facility since he’s still in a coma, but they aren’t giving up hope. Maggie says there was nothing they could do there and that was hell for Victor, so she convinced him to come home because seeing Bo like that was hard on him. Justin understands that family is everything. Maggie asks what Justin is doing here since Henderson told her that he and Bonnie were going to Chicago to see Mimi and Emily. Justin responds that Bonnie went but when he heard Maggie was coming home, he decided to stay. Maggie says he didn’t have to do that but Justin states that he did because he had to ask her why the hell she fired his son from the family business.

In Chicago, Rex is working out at home until Bonnie shows up at his door and surprises him. Bonnie says that Mimi told her that it was his day with Emily, so she came to see her grandbaby. Rex says he’s sorry but she’s already asleep. Bonnie asks if she can peek in on her still which Rex allows. The doorbell then rings and Sarah arrives, surprising Rex. Sarah says she’s sorry to show up like this but she has news that she had to tell him in person. Rex says he has news as well. Sarah excitedly tells Rex that after he left, one of their clinical patients had a breakthrough and his immune system is responding just like they predicted it would. Sarah excitedly talks about how great this is until Rex stops her to tell her that Bonnie is there. Bonnie then comes back in and greets Sarah.

Xander argues that they are desperate to replace the position but Gwen says they are not so desperate to hire Xander’s girlfriend. Xander tells her that Chloe is not his girlfriend and they are just roommates. Gwen doesn’t believe him. Xander asks why she’s so interested as he thought she was busy shagging Alex all the time. Gwen reveals that’s over now because Alex ended it and said he wanted to be a better person which Xander calls an impossible dream. Gwen argues that they need someone qualified to work, not an unemployed lounge singer. Xander points out that Chloe ran a successful restaurant and had important jobs with both Basic Black and DiMera Enterprises so she’s more than qualified. Gwen says that she can get a job elsewhere then as she declares they are not hiring her and that’s final.

Brady asks Chloe if he can come in to talk about this. Chloe questions if he wants to come in to check things out, insisting that she and Xander are just roommates. Brady clarifies that he doesn’t want to talk about Xander as he has a business proposition for her. Brady informs Chloe that he wants her to come back to Basic Black.

Maggie understands that Justin is upset with her but says he has no right to use that tone with her. Justin asks what tone he should use when she canned his son over the phone. Maggie responds that Alex didn’t follow direct orders and as a result, they lost a multi-million dollar that was already negotiated and all Alex had to do was close it, but instead he scared him off. Justin argues that Alex didn’t scare him off, the deal did because there were problems in that deal from the start. Maggie guesses that’s Alex’s version of what happened as he’s very good at coming up with excuses. Justin mocks Maggie being a corporate mogul for five minutes and asks who she is to say that Alex isn’t qualified. Maggie guesses that Justin doesn’t think she’s qualified, but Victor does and he agrees about Alex.

Stephanie tells Alex that he’s being too hard on himself as he had no idea how the client would behave at the meeting. Stephanie believes Maggie completely overreacted by firing him. Alex thinks Maggie might have a point. Stephanie goes to get Alex another beer as he apologizes for being lousy company. The doorbell then rings, so Alex answers the door as Chad arrives, looking confused to see Alex there. Stephanie greets Chad with a hug and they kiss, noting how they missed each other. Chad says he got in a couple hours ago, tucked in the kids and came straight here. Stephanie asks him to tell her everything because she was worried. Chad first asks about Alex being there.

Chloe questions Brady wanting her to come back to work at Basic Black. Brady explains that Nicole is working with EJ at DiMera, so he’s all alone and he needs her. Chloe is unsure. Brady promises they will keep everything strictly professional. Chloe says that’s easier said than done. Brady gives his word and says it’s not the same without her. Brady talks about how they work well together and he respects her work. Brady pleads with her but Chloe says she can’t. Brady says if it’s because of Kristen, he’ll beef up security but Chloe says it’s not Kristen. Brady questions what the problem is then. Chloe responds that it’s not a problem, but that she was offered a new job and she will be working at the Spectator with Xander.

Xander reminds Gwen that they run the Spectator as a partnership so she doesn’t get to make unilateral staffing decisions. Gwen assumes they both want the most qualified candidate for the job, so they can put a job notice up and together, they can true the most qualified candidate and Chloe is more than welcome to apply. Xander calls Gwen’s jealousy sad. Gwen argues that she’s not jealous, especially not of Chloe.

Sarah greets Bonnie and questions what she’s doing in Chicago. Bonnie explains that she came to see Mimi and Emily. Bonnie then notices that Sarah is pregnant.

Stephanie explains to Chad that she was at the meeting and knows that Alex was doing everything he could to save the deal. Alex doesn’t think Chad cares. Chad understands that getting kicked out of the family business sucks but laughs about getting fired by Maggie. Stephanie says it’s not funny. Chad agrees and says that’s the worst part as it must have been so damn humiliating. Alex decides to let them have some alone time. Alex thanks Stephanie for the beer and says he appreciates it. Alex agrees that Maggie is the nicest person he’s ever known, so he feels horrible about letting her down. Alex then exits. Stephanie asks Chad if he really had to kick Alex while he’s down. Chad assures that he’ll be fine. Chad then apologizes and says he just got back from Greece where Kate was almost killed, Steve got shot, and Bo is still in a coma so he didn’t have the patience for Alex crying in his beer over a job he never should’ve had in the first place. Stephanie responds that Alex was a guest in her home. Chad questions why, asking how she can forgive Alex after what he did to her.

Maggie tells Justin that she’s running a business and letting Alex go was a business decision. Maggie says she gave him a chance but he didn’t deliver, so she doesn’t think it’s fair for Justin to make it a personal family issue. Justin argues that it’s a family business, so it’s all personal. Justin understands he can be protective of Alex because of his childhood and notes his struggles with relationships with women. Justin mentions Alex being in therapy. Maggie says that doesn’t change the fact that she left Alex specific instructions on how to handle this meeting and he went rogue. Justin understands that Alex blew the deal, but what’s killing him is not that he lost the job, but that he let her down. Justin asks if there is some way that Maggie can give Alex one more chance.

Bonnie talks about Maggie not saying anything, so she had no idea that Sarah was expecting. Sarah reveals that Maggie doesn’t know and no one in Salem does. Bonnie questions why not and then guesses that she doesn’t want anyone to know because it’s Xander’s baby.

Gwen argues that Xander just wants to feed his huge ego by thinking she’s jealous Chloe. Gwen complains that Chloe isn’t qualified for the job. Xander points out that when he showed up, she was desperate for anyone to take the job. Xander insists that Chloe is qualified and that she can start right away like they need. Xander reveals that he already offered Chloe the job so it’s hers and declares that’s the end of it as he’s putting his foot down. Gwen tells Xander to go ahead and hire Chloe, but when it turns out to be a disaster, it will come out of Xander’s profits. Xander says he will go tell Chloe the good news and exits, leaving Gwen frustrated.

Sarah tells Bonnie that she is way off base. Bonnie doesn’t think so and brings up how fast Sarah left town, believing she wanted him out of her life and her baby’s life. Bonnie knows Sarah couldn’t trust Xander with a baby and children are everything to Kiriakis men, so Xander would never leave her alone. Rex argues that Sarah doesn’t need this right now. Bonnie relates to how Sarah is feeling because of her ex husband, but says she really believes Xander has changed this time for the better. Bonnie adds that she could forgive Xander for kidnapping her and Susan. Sarah shouts that this has nothing to do with Xander. Bonnie argues that Xander has a right to know, but Rex steps in and declares that he is the father, not Xander. Bonnie notes that Mimi didn’t tell her they are back together. Rex admits they aren’t, so Bonnie takes it that they had a one night stand. Sarah reminds her of Xander hooking up with Gwen right after she told him their marriage was over, so she slept with Rex on the rebound. Sarah says she got pregnant and they didn’t find out until getting to Chicago. Sarah claims they tried dating but it didn’t work out. Bonnie questions keeping it a secret then. Sarah says she didn’t want Maggie to judge her or tell her that she’s making a mistake. Bonnie doesn’t believe them and says she knows they are lying through their teeth.

Stephanie tells Chad that her mom is back, Marlena is back, and Kate is alive and safe, so she asks if Alex is really what they want to talk about. Chad agrees that he doesn’t want to talk about Alex anymore. Stephanie brings up Chad saving Kate and his new relative, Dimitri. Chad jokes that Dimitri is a very fun guy and sociopathic and egomaniacal like his mother. Chad calls them like James Bond villains and says he doesn’t really want to talk about them either. Chad decides he doesn’t really want to talk at all as they begin kissing onto the couch.

Gwen exits the Salem Inn and runs in to Alex in the town square. Alex says he was just on his way to see her. Gwen asks if he’s rethinking the better person rubbish. Alex says no but he heard a rumor that her ad director quit and he’s now looking for a job. Gwen is surprised and says he has a dream job as she questions why he would ever leave Titan. Alex clarifies that he didn’t leave Titan, he got fired. Gwen calls that unfortunate. Alex brings up that he does have experience in marketing. Gwen tells him that she’s sorry but they just hired a new ad director. Gwen calls it a shame because Alex would’ve been quite good at it. Gwen informs Alex that Xander forced her to hire his roommate as it turns out he wants to spend even more time with her. Alex points out that she doesn’t seem too happy about that. Gwen argues that Chloe is unqualified and makes her skin crawl. Alex remarks that it sounds like her night is going about as well as his. Gwen suggests they could help each other get their minds off of their troubles.

Brady asks Chloe about Xander offering her a job, arguing that he and Gwen stole the paper from Jack and Jennifer. Brady asks how Gwen feels about this. Chloe claims that she’s fine with it. Brady questions if Chloe really wants to be living with Xander and working with him. Chloe admits it’s not ideal. Brady calls Xander a sleaze, but says he’s nothing compared to Gwen, warning that she’s pretty rough on women who rub her the wrong way. Chloe questions why he’s doing this and why where she works is his business. Brady calls Xander and Gwen horrible people who know nothing about running a newspaper. Brady warns that it won’t be long before they tank the Spectator, so he doesn’t want to see her get hurt in the fallout. Xander then comes home and tells Brady to tell them how he really feels.

Rex questions Bonnie not believing them. Bonnie says it doesn’t make sense. Bonnie believes Sarah wanted to have Xander’s baby and got pregnant, before she found out that he was kidnapping people. Rex argues that this is none of her damn business. Sarah thanks Rex for trying but admits it’s not going to work. Sarah then informs Bonnie that she is right that the baby is Xander’s.

Brady guesses he better go. Xander feels he was just getting started. Brady wishes Chloe luck with her new job, feeling that she’s going to need it. Xander remarks that it’s always a pleasure as Brady exits. Chloe questions if that was really necessary. Xander asks if he’s supposed to come home to Brady talking crap about him in his own living room and just take it. Chloe responds that the mature thing to do would’ve been to ignore him. Xander admits maturity has never been his strong point. Chloe asks how Gwen took him offering her a job. Xander informs her that she got the job.

Alex tells Gwen that he doesn’t know. Gwen says she forgot he turned a new leaf, so no more random shags. Gwen asks how that’s working out for him and if he’s becoming the new and improved Alex Kiriakis. Alex says it’s going well and that Marlena is helping him out a lot. Gwen says she’s glad. Alex thanks her and says now all he needs is someone to help him get his career back on track. Gwen wishes him luck and says she’ll see him around. Gwen walks away and then Brady approaches, asking about him needing his career back on track. Brady informs Alex that if he needs a job, he may have something for him because Nicole left and he’s swamped at Basic Black. Alex questions Brady wanting him to come work for him. Brady asks why not. Brady brings up it was Alex’s idea to put and Eric and Nicole on the cover of their magazine and that flew off the shelves, so he has a knack for marketing. Alex isn’t sure if Victor and Maggie would agree. Brady responds that Victor has dangled the CEO at Titan position over all of them for 30 years and the best thing he ever did was get off that treadmill. Brady suggests Alex claim his independence and come work for him.

Maggie tells Justin that she’s given Alex so many chances. Justin insists that this time will be different because he will personally be watching him like a hawk. Justin says that Alex really needs this. Maggie complains that the Kiriakis men don’t give up until they get what they want. Justin says it’s in their DNA and asks if Maggie will think about it. Maggie gives in and agrees to let Alex start tomorrow. Justin thanks her. Maggie swears it is Alex’s last chance. Justin assures that she won’t regret this as he hugs her. Maggie hopes not for all of their sakes.

Chad and Stephanie kiss on the couch until Stephanie gets up to get them beers. Stephanie asks him to tell her about Dimitri. Chad responds that he definitely has DiMera blood in him as he managed to work deals for he and Megan. Stephanie asks about Megan being his half-sister. Chad jokes that apparently his father never wore protection. Stephanie points out that Dimitri is still on the ISA radar, so it’s only a matter of time before he commits another crime and ends up back in there. Chad informs her that it won’t be out there because he’s coming here, adding that he wanted to fly back on the same plane and thinks they are going to be best friends. Stephanie questions what there is in Salem that he could want. Chad says he said family but he didn’t take him at his word. Chad doesn’t think Dimitri is coming to be apart of the family, but to destroy it.

Alex comes home to the Kiriakis Mansion and questions what’s going on as he thought Justin was heading to Chicago. Justin informs Alex that they have some good news as he and Maggie just had a long conversation. Justin announces that Maggie has agreed to give Alex his job back. Alex is shocked. Justin questions Alex not thanking Maggie. Alex says it’s been a weird night and it took him by surprise. Justin explains that he just spent an hour trying to convince Maggie. Alex then informs Maggie of how happy it makes him that she thinks she can trust him again, but he’s not going to be able to take back the job because he has another job since Brady wants him to work for him at Basic Black.

Gwen walks through the town square and runs in to Brady, who asks if she has a minute. Gwen says no after the way he talked to her the last time. Brady mocks her being fragile and then apologizes and says he needs to talk to her about a mutual problem they have that only she can solve. Gwen tells him to go on. Brady brings up Xander offering Chloe a job at the Spectator and he guesses that Gwen thinks it’s a terrible idea like he does which she confirms. Brady guesses he can count on her to stop it from happening but Gwen says she’s sorry as that ship has sailed as she gave Xander permission to hire Chloe. Brady questions why she did that. Gwen says you have to pick and choose your battles. Gwen states that it turns out their exes are going to be spending even more time with each other. Gwen then heads back in to the Salem Inn.

Chloe asks Xander if Gwen is really okay with her coming to work at the Spectator. Xander says that she wasn’t exactly thrilled about it but she gave the green light and will come around when she sees how amazing she is at the job. Xander remarks that the only alternative is Chloe going back to work with Brady and they can’t have that. Xander shakes Chloe’s hand and welcomes her aboard.

Rex questions what Sarah is doing. Sarah tells him that Bonnie is onto them so there is no sense in keeping up the lie. Sarah admits that Bonnie is right that she wanted a baby with Xander, but that was before she found out what he did to Bonnie and Susan and that he was mixed up with Gwen again. Sarah doesn’t want to be married to a man like that and doesn’t want him around an innocent child. Bonnie tries to argue that he’s changed but Sarah states that this isn’t Bonnie’s news to tell, so she has to promise her that no one in Salem can find out that Xander is the father of her baby.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What do you want? I’m busy and in a swell mood. I see. Yes. Well, I’m working, so if this doesn’t have to do with work, then it does have to do with work, as does your foul mood. I bet. You’re upset because Carl Gottle handed in his resignation. Your Elon Musk managerial style blew up in your face, and now you’re scrambling to fix the mess you made.

Aren’t you? The mess I made, I didn’t bloody sack him. The whiny little tosser quit because you treated him like an incompetent temp. I merely suggested that he and his team work a little bit harder to secure more digital ad buys this quarter. Mm. You cursed him out in front of his entire team. So he walked and now we don’t have an ad sales director.

Look, he was looking for an excuse to quit. He saw my father as walking on water and he saw me as the bitch who shoved him off of his own paper. You are the bitch. You shop jack off his own paper. I did that for you.

Now, as I said, I’m very busy, so if you don’t mind, just get the hell out of here so I can pull a new sales manager out of a out of a hat. You don’t have to. I already found one. What? Who? Chloe Lane. Dead.

Hey. Hey, yourself. I’m sorry for not calling. Before showing up. Well, if you’re here to tell me that, Kristen’s out of prison. I already had the pleasure of running into her. It was a really nice surprise. Uh, did she threaten you or anything? No, it was fine. Okay. Okay, good. I’m sure she’ll be leaving you alone now that we’re no longer together.

Yeah. As always, Kristen got what she wanted. Well, I don’t wanna talk about Kristen. Listen, I uh, I have a proposition for you.

Thank you. Mm-hmm. You know, looking on the bright side like I always do, there’s a real upside to unemployment. Mm. And that would be, I don’t have to worry about keeping a clear head in the morning, cuz even hungover, I can still work the remote. Mm. Well, I still think you need to give Maggie some time to cool down and to see that Titan needs you.

Yeah. Well, I’m not gonna hold my breath screwing up that deal from Maggie. That was the last straw. Sad fact is my career at Titan is over.

Hi. Welcome home. It’s scared to be home. Victor’s, uh, he’s resting. He didn’t sleep at all on the plane. Yeah. I was surprised when I heard you were coming home. I thought you’d wanna stay on in Greece with Bo The doctors are moving him to a long-term care facility, so he’s still in a coma. Mm-hmm. We’re not giving up hope, though.

Of course not. You know, there’s just really nothing we could do there. And the thing is, for Victor not being able to do something was hell. I know that. So I finally convinced him to come home. Sing Bo like that. Hmm. It was hard on him. I understand. Family is everything. So what are you doing here?

Henderson told me that you and Bonnie were going to Chicago to see Mimi and, and Emily. Yes. Uh, Bonnie went. But um, when I heard you were coming home, I decided to stay here. You didn’t need to do that. Yes, I did because I needed to ask you why the hell you fired my son from the family business.

Surprise. Hello buddy. How I would’ve called, but I didn’t want You have to come up with an excuse, huh? So you, yeah. Well, I’m up to see Mimi and Emily and Mimi. Tell me tonight was your night with Emily and what were you doing just now You look like you’re about to audition to replace Captain America. I’m just working out.

Huh, soon as to be working for you. Well enough about you. Where’s Emily? Oh, let me get my sweet grand baby. I know. I’m so sorry. It’s late and she’s already asleep. Oh, darn it. Yeah. So, um, sorry you wasted the trip. Well, can, can I, can I just take a peek at her please? I won’t wake her up. Please listen. Okay.

Okay. I just. A peak, Ken’s first bedroom on your right. Oh, you’re a adult. Thank you. Thank you. Thank

about Grand Central Station.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Sarah wasn’t expecting you. I, I’m so sorry to show up like this, but I have news and I just, I had to tell you one person. Yeah, I have some news too, so, okay, so when you left, One of our patients in our clinical trial had a breakthrough. His immune system is responding just as we predicted it would. Really?

Yes. I ran the test three times and we did it. We did it. Oh my God, that’s so great. But listen, you, you have this, this is gonna change the way that we treat infectious diseases, Sarah. Bonnie’s here. Sarah Horton. Is that you?

Over my dead body. Come on Gwen. You’re desperate. We have to replace got bay s a desperate, not so desperate, to the point where we resort to hiring your girlfriend. Chloe’s not my girlfriend. We’re just roommates. Yeah, right. Well, you’re so interested in what’s going on with me and Chloe. I thought you were busy shagging Alex all the time.

Wow. Well that’s over now. He ended it. He indeed. Yeah. Something about. Wanting to be a better person or something. I don’t know. It’s all about the impossible dream. Look, if we can just go back to talking about what we were talking about. We need a qualified, seasoned sales professional to replace Gotley, not some outer work, bloody lounge singer.

Close an opera singer. Oh yeah. That changes everything, doesn’t it? Singing La Traviata isn’t exactly an MBA in three years experience like we are looking for, Chloe ran a successful restaurant and she’s had important jobs at Basic Black and Amara Enterprises. She’s more than qualified. Oh, brilliant. Well then she can get a job elsewhere, can’t she?

Because we are not hiring her at the Spectator. And that’s final.

Do you mind if I come in so we can talk about this? Do you wanna come in to talk about things or do you wanna come and check things out? How many times do I have to tell you? Xander and I are just, we’re all close. I don’t wanna talk about Xander. I don’t care about Xander. Okay. I have a business proposition for you.

I want you to come back to Basic Black.

I understand you’re upset with me. But you have no right to use that tone with me. What tone should I use? You canned my son over the phone because he didn’t follow direct orders, and as a result we lost a multimillion dollar deal, a deal that was already negotiated and all he had to do was close it. But what he did in reality was scare the client off.

Alex didn’t scare him off the deal. Did there were problems in that deal from the start? Really? Well, I guess that’s Alex’s version of what happened. He’s very good at coming up with excuses. It’s the other part of the job that he’s having trouble with. Hmm. So that’s your call, right? You’ve been a corporate mogul for all of what, five minutes.

Who are you to say that Alex isn’t qualified? Hmm. And there it is. That’s it, isn’t it? You don’t think I’m qualified? Well, the fact is, Victor die. And by the way, Justin, he agrees with me about Alex. Alex, you’re being too hard on yourself. You had no idea how the client was gonna behave at that meeting.

Maggie completely overreacted by firing you. He really thinks so. Yeah, I do. I think she might have a point here. You’re impossible. Do you want another beer? Yes, please. Thank you, and I’m sorry for being such a rotten company. Maybe uh, maybe you can talk to Dr. Evans about that. Yeah, I’ll get it.

Hi honey, I’m home.

Chad, you’re back. Hey. Yeah. I got in a couple hours ago. I talked to the kids and uh, came straight here.

I really missed you. Same. Tell me everything. I was worried. Uh, first Alex to, uh, what do we owe? The pleasure.

You want me to come back to work at Basic Block? I do. Look, Nicole is working with EJ at Damara. All right. And I’m all alone over there. And, I need you, Brady. I’m not sure. Wait, I promise if you come back, we’ll keep everything strictly professional. That’s easier said than done. You have my word on it. Look, it’s not, look, it’s not the same over there without you.

You know that we work well together. And you know that I respect your work and your work ethic and what you do over there at the base of black office. So come on, just please tell, say you will, Brady. I’m, I’m sorry, I can’t, if if it’s Kristen, don’t worry about it. I’ll beef up security. No, it’s not. Kristen, what’s the problem then?

It isn’t a problem. It’s just that I was offered a new job. I’ll be working at the spectator.

What is Xander?

Uh, the way I understand it. We run the spectators as a partnership. You don’t get to just make unilateral staffing decisions. You know what? You are absolutely right. We do run this business together, don’t we? And so that means I assume that we both want the most qualified candidate for the job. Is that right?

Right, right. So perfect. Then you and I can put a job notice up and then together we will choose the most qualified. Candidate for sales marketing director and Chloe is more than welcome to apply. It’s actually kind of sad. What is your jealousy? Just the thought of seeing Chloe and I working together is making you greener with envy than she hawk, isn’t it?

Oh God. For God’s sake, I am not jealous. Especially jealous of Chloe Bloody lane. Yeah, just keep telling yourself that,

Sarah. Aren’t you gonna turn around and say hi? Oh. Funny. Frankton told you were here. You didn’t let me. Oh, what are you doing in Chicago? Well, I came up to see Mimi and Emily and I’m sorry, but that handbag isn’t fooling anyone. One, there’s no luggage picking up to hide the fact that you’re knocked up, sweetie.

And like I said, I was at the meeting so I know that Alex was doing everything he could to save the deal. Yeah, I don’t think he really cares for stuff. Oh, man. No, no. I, uh, I realized that getting kicked out of the family business, man, it sucks, but damn What I mean, getting fired by Maggie. And they’d be like getting canned by, uh, Glen to the good witch.

It’s not funny. No, it’s not. It’s actually, that’s the worst part about it, is it’s just, it must have been so damn humiliating. You know, I’m gonna let you guys, uh, have a little alone time. Uh, thank you again. Stuff for the beer, Alex. Appreciate it. No, no, no. You know. No, you know what? He’s right. He’s, he’s right.

Maggie is just about the nicest person I’ve ever known. Yes. I just feel horrible about letting him down.

Okay. Did you really have to kick the guy while he is down? Okay. He’ll be fine. Trust me. What? Okay. Look, I’m sorry, I just, I just got back from Greece where Kate was almost killed, or your father was shot and Bob Brady is still in Tacoma. So, you know, I’m, I’m, I’m sorry if I don’t have the patience to come in here and, and see Alex pretending to cry in his beer over a job that, quite honestly, he never should have had in the first place.

He was a guest in my home. Why? I’m Stephanie. How can you forgive him after what he did to you?

Justin, I’m running a business letting Alex go. What’s a business decision? He asked me to give him a chance. I gave it to him regretfully, but he didn’t deliver. I don’t think it’s fair of you. To make this a family issue, to make it personal. This is a family business, Maggie. It’s all personal. Okay. Look, I understand that I can be a little protective of Alex.

Adrian and I did our best to keep things steady for him at home. But Angelica would swoop in and swoop out and I mean it’s, it’s no wonder that he seems to struggle in his relationships with women. In his personal life and in the workplace he’s in therapy. I’m sure you’re aware of that. Yes, he told me, but it doesn’t change the fact that I left him specific instructions on how to handle this meeting and he went rogue.

Okay, Maggie, look, I understand that Alex blew this deal by going rogue as you put it. But what’s killing him? It’s not that he lost the job, it’s letting you down. So isn’t there just some way that you can just give him one more chance?

Remind me to never play poker with Maggie. She sure knows how to keep her cards close to her. Vesta had no idea you were expecting, sweetie. Yeah, that’s cuz uh, she. Doesn’t know no one in Salem does. Oh, why not? You don’t have to answer that. You don’t want anyone to know because it’s Santa’s baby, isn’t it?

That’s what you wanna think. Isn’t it because it would already feed your huge ego to think that I’m jealous of Chloe la, which I am not. I don’t wanna hire that bloody dullard of a woman because she’s not qualified for the bloody job. And yet when I showed up here, you were desperate to get some anyone.

In place. I guess she just meant anyone but Chloe. Huh? Anyone who is qualified. She has qualified and she can start work immediately. Gwen, we don’t have time to recruit and screen candidates. I’m putting my foot down. I offer Chloe the job. It’s hers. End off

fine. Hire her. But when this turns out to be an absolutely unmitigated disaster, it’s coming outta your half of the profits. Agreed. You know, it is a pleasure as always, hashing things out with you partner. I’ll go tell Chloe the good news. Run along. Do that.

Bonnie, you’re way off face here. Oh, I don’t think so. Look how fast you left town after you found out Xander was up to his old tricks. You wanted him out of your life and out of your baby’s life too. No, you, you don’t understand, you know, you couldn’t trust him when there’s a baby. And you know how Kira, cuz men are, their children are everything to them.

And Xander would never leave you alone. Bonnie. She doesn’t need this right now. Okay? Trust me, honey. I know what you’re going through better than anyone. My ex-husband was a complete piece of work. But listen, I really truly believe that Xander has changed this time, the better. And if I could forgive him for kidnapping, me and Susan, this has nothing to do with Xander.

Yes, it does. Honey, he has every right to know that he’s the father of this baby. There’s nothing to do with Xander because he’s not the father. I.

You’re the father. Mm-hmm. Yes I am. Mimi didn’t tell me you too. Were back together because we’re not. So you had a one night stand? Um, Bonnie. Do you remember when I found out that Xander had hooked up with Gwen Right after I told him that our marriage was over? Yeah. Well, um, I slept with Rex on the rebound and I ended up pregnant.

We didn’t find out until we moved to Chicago and yeah, we, we tried dating, but it didn’t work. Oh, okay. So Forex as the father, why keep it a secret, especially from Maggie? Especially from her. I said I didn’t want her to judge me or tell me that I was making a mistake. You know how my mom can be. Yeah.

Forgiving and open-minded and sweet as the day is long. Sounds like you don’t believe us because I don’t, cuz I know you two are lying through your teeth,

John. My mom is back. Marlena is back. Kate is alive and safe. Is Alex really what we wanna talk about? No. Okay, so then can we please just rewind, I don’t want to talk about Alex anymore. It’s not like there’s nothing else that we can talk about.

You saved Kate, and I understand that you have a new relative, Dimitri Von Leischner, isn’t it? Yeah, he’s a very fun guy. He’s a lot like his, his mother, um, sociopathic . Him and his mom are, uh, They, like James Vaughn owns Mm, I don’t really want to talk about them either. Mm. In what the, uh, stock market, the Cubs,

uh, I don’t really want to talk about any that stuff. I, um,

Hey Glen. Hey. How yourself, oh, you think maybe you could hold up a minute? I was actually on my way to see you. Oh. You, um, rethinking all of that better person rubbish. Hmm. No, but I did hear a rumor that your ad director quit. And the thing is, I happen to now be looking for a job. A job. Mm-hmm. You have a job, you have a dream job.

Why would you ever leave Tyson? Well, I didn’t leave Titan. I got fired. Oh. Oh, that’s unfortunate. It is unfortunate. But as you know, I do have experience in marketing and I’m a damn good salesman. So yeah. Maybe Alex, I’m so sorry, but we’ve just hired a new ad director already. Yeah, it’s a shame too, because you would’ve been, you would’ve been quite good.

But, um, Zander’s forced me into hiring his roommate. Turns out he wants to spend even more time with her. You don’t really seem too happy about that? Well, aside from the fact that the person in question is unqualified inci and absolutely makes my skin crawl, no. Yeah, I’m thrilled. Hmm. Well, it sounds like you’re knight and is going just about as well as mine is.

Yeah. Sounds like.

Uh, maybe, maybe you and I could, I dunno, help each other get our minds off of our troubles.

So Xander offered you a job at Jack and Jennifer’s paper. It’s Xander and Gwen’s paper now. Yeah. Yeah, because they stole it. How does Gwen feel about all this? Gwen, she’s, she’s fine with it. Is this really what you want? I mean, you really want to be living with him and working with him. I’m not saying it’s ideal.

Ideal, Chloe, my God. I mean, Xander’s Ale, but he’s nothing compared to Gwen. I mean, you might want to consider hiring a food taster if you go to work for her. I heard she’s pretty rough on women who rub her the wrong way. Oh my God. Why are you doing this? And what business is it of yours where I’m working, Chloe?

They’re not only horrible people. They know nothing about running a newspaper. It’s not gonna be long before they tank the spectator, and I don’t want to see you get hurt in the fall out. Tell us how you really feely.

Sounds like you don’t believe us because it doesn’t make any sense. You two are doctors. You do know where babies come from. Even doctors have accidents. See, I don’t think it was an accident. I think you wanted to have a baby. Sanders’s baby, and I think you got pregnant with Sanders before you found out he was running around town kidnapping people in a damn clown city.

All you enough, this is none of your damn business.

Thank you for.

It’s not gonna work.

You’re right. Okay. The baby is.

Hello Xander. Guess I better go. Oh, no, no. Stick around. I get the feeling. You’re just getting started. You know Brady. Brady don’t. Okay. Okay. Um, Good luck with your new job. I have a feeling you’re gonna need it pop by anytime. It’s always a pleasure. Was that really necessary? What? Come home to find him talking crap about me in my living room.

I’m just supposed to take it. The maturing thing would’ve been to ignore him. Trudy’s never been my strong point. Has it? Yeah. I’ve noticed. Speaking of mature and rational people, how did Gwen take you? Offering me a job? Well, I think you should be more careful how you speak about one of your new employers.

Are you serious? What did I tell you? You’ve got the job,

Gwen. Um, I don’t know. Yeah, I forgot. You’ve turned a new leaf, haven’t you? No more random shags. How’s that working out for you? By the way? Are you down the road now to becoming the new and improved Alex Kakkis? It’s going well. Actually, Dr. Evans is helping me out a lot. That’s good. I’m glad. Mm. Well, thank you.

Now all I need now is somebody to help me get my career back on track. Yeah, well good luck with that and I will see you around or not. You’ll see me around.

Did I hear somebody say they needed to get their career back on track? Oh, there he is. It’s up. Brady, I didn’t hear you coming in. I wasn’t. He was dropping. But um, if you need a job, I may have something for you. Nicole left. I’m swamped at basic plaque. You want me to come work for you? Yeah. I mean, why not?

Look, it was your idea, right? To put Eric and Nicole on that cover to launch our new collection and that thing flew off the shelves. I think you, you got a natural knack for marketing. Well, I don’t know if Uncle Vic and Auntie Mag would agree with that. I’ll tell you about Grandpa Vic. For 30 years, he has dangled that c e o Titan position over all of us.

Hmm, I get carry on a stick. The best thing I ever did is get off that treadmill. Why don’t you declare your independence and why don’t you come work with me?

Justin, I’ve given Alex so many chances. I know, but this time. Will be different because I personally am gonna be watching him like a hawk. Becky. He really needs this. Ah, you carry us men. You just don’t give up until you get what you want. It’s in our dna. N So you’ll think about this? No, no, no. Okay. You win.

He can start tomorrow. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This is his last chance. I swear, absolutely. You’ll not regret this. Oh, I hope not For all of our.

Thirsty. Oh, am I parched?

So tell me about this Dimitri guy. Well, thank you. He got here. He, um, he definitely has damara blooding him. He, uh, he managed to burn hostages from Unity, not only for himself, but for him and his mother. Who’s your half sister, right? Megan Hathaway. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Apparently my, uh, my father never wore protection.

So back to this Dimitri guy, maybe he got immunity, but he’s still on the issa’s radar. It’s only a matter of time before he commits a crime somewhere out there. And yeah. And then he loses his immunity. No, no, no. Not out there. He’s coming here to Salem. What? Oh yeah. I didn’t tell you that. Yeah, he wanted to fly on the same plane back here.

He thinks we’re gonna be best friends, but why? What’s there in Salem? He could want, I know. Family. At least that’s what he says. I mean, you didn’t take him in his word. No, I didn’t. No, I don’t, I don’t think he’s here to be a part of the family. I think he’s, uh, coming here to destroy it.

Dad thought you’re going to Chicago. What’s going on? Well, we have some good news, Maggie and I just. Had a long conversation and she has agreed to give you your job back. Really? Wow. That’s all you can say. Nothing like, thanks and Maggie, that’s so nice of you. Well, I’m sorry dad. It’s just been kind of a weird night.

It took me by surprise. When it rains and pours. Hey Alex. I just spent the better part of an hour trying to convince Maggie that you’re not a flake. So for me, can you just try not to act like one? Right.

Well, auntie Mag, I can’t tell you how happy it makes me that you think you can trust me again, but I’m not gonna be able to take back the job. What? Why not? Well, this just happened, but I have another job. Brady wants me to work for him at Basic Black

Minute. Hey, you have a minute. No, not after the way you talked to me the last time I had the pleasure. I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were that fragile. That was uncalled for. Sorry. Sorry. Cut. Go Gwen. Please. Please. I need to talk to you about a mutual problem that we have that only you can solve. Go on. I know you know that Xander offered Chloe a job at The Spectator, and my guess is you think that’s a terrible idea just like I do.

Yes, I do. Good. Then I can count on you to stop it from happening. Yeah. Sorry mate. That ship has sailed. I gave Zander permission to hire her. Oh my. Why did you do that? I dunno. You have to pick and choose your battles, both in life and in business, you know? So it turns out our exes are gonna be spending even more time with each other.

So Gwen is really okay with me coming to work at the Spectator. Well, she’s not exactly thrilled about it, but she gave the green light and she’ll come around when she sees how amazing you’re gonna be at the job. Plus, the only alternative is you go back to working with Brady and we can’t have that, can we?

I suppose we can’t. So welcome aboard Ms. Lang.

Sarah, what are you doing?

She’s onto us and there’s no sense in keeping of a lie.

You’re right. I did want a baby with Xander.

But that was before I found out what he did to you and Susan and before I found out that he was mixed up with Gwen Riz check again. I don’t wanna be married to a man like that, and I sure as hell don’t want him around an innocent child, Sarah. No, but nothing. Bonnie, this isn’t your news to tell. You have to promise me no one in Salem can find out that Xander is the father of my baby.

No one.

Previously on Ride, you don’t like the fact that Misty and I are getting close.

There’s Abel, you got all that memorabilia and it could be put to good use. We need to find an investor who believes in the possibilities like we do. How did you know? My husband? You don’t wanna know. Did he cheat on me? You are more than good enough. You took him from me. I just wanna know why

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Tony was about to make an announcement to EJ. Anna thought about telling Tony about Nicole’s pregnancy. She blurted out that she couldn’t let Tony finish. She said that he was drunk. She couldn’t let him say anything that he would regret later. The family wanted to hear what Tony was going to say. Tony looked at Anna and decided to tell EJ that he was proud of the job he did at the company. He told Kristen and Megan that they should support EJ. Anna took him with her so they could talk in private. Eric saw Nicole and Sloan at the hospital and wanted to know what was in the box Nicole was holding. Sloan told him that it was a medical test kit. Nicole lied about a virus and said everyone had to test negative before they could visit patients. Nicole told him that she let Sloan use hers so she could visit her brother. Sloan advised Eric to take the test so he could visit Abe. Tony let Anna know that he wasn’t going to tell Nicole’s secret. He wanted to support EJ. Anna apologized for doubting him. He felt like EJ had a right to know the truth. EJ wanted to know what he had a right to know. Tony lied and said Anna was worried about his feud with Stefan. EJ thanked him for always having his back. Stefan and Gabi tried to get Megan and Kristen to take their side. Megan wanted to know what they could do for her. Stefan would welcome her into the family. He said EJ wouldn’t do that for her. EJ walked in the room and said that wasn’t true. EJ was willing to give her the master suite. Kristen reminded him that she was locked up too. EJ told her that Megan had seniority. Kristen didn’t want to accept his offer since he stabbed her in the back.

Eric didn’t want to take the test. He wanted Sloan to use it so she could see her brother. He said he would meet her at home. Nicole and Sloan went back and forth about their plan not working. They argued over the fact that Eric could be the father of her baby. Sloan hoped that he wasn’t the father. Tony didn’t like lying to EJ. Anna felt like they had to be careful about anyone overhearing them talk about the pregnancy. Nicole walked in and thought EJ knew about the pregnancy. Anna assured her that EJ didn’t know the truth. Nicole promised to reveal the truth once she got the results from the paternity test. She wanted to know how she could swab EJ’s cheek without him knowing about it. Anna gave her sleeping pills to use on him. Nicole saw Megan and Kristen at the mansion. She was surprised to see Kristen out of prison. She went to EJ and wanted to know why he was letting his sisters live there. He told her that he was doing it for the votes. He didn’t think he was doing a great job getting their votes. Nicole suggested he take a pill to help him go to sleep. EJ was about to take the pill when he got a phone call. He had to leave. Nicole was frustrated that her plan didn’t work. Eric and Sloan were in bed. He was asleep so Sloan took out the swab. She leaned toward him. She called Nicole and told her that she had the sample in her hands. Nicole was relieved because she would find out the truth soon enough.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

This seat taken cowboy? Yes. I’m waiting on my dates. Oh, Wilson. She or he or they isn’t or aren’t here yet. Perhaps you’d like to give Lady Whistleblower the inside scoop on your recent family drama. What recent drama haven’t you heard? You’re indefatigable, auntie Kristen. I think that’s the appropriate adjective.

Bit of a mouthful. But anyway, she was released from prison. What again? What did, did she get another pardon? Mm-hmm. Immunity. It’s like a revolving door with her, isn’t it? One minute she’s in. The next minute she’s out. But that is boring. Boring and old news. I am way more interested in your other Aunt Megan Hathaway.

I think it’s long overdue that I take the family name. After all, I’m not a half the way. The purpose of that name was served long ago. I am now claiming to be a dememer completely and entirely,

uh, here, here. To Megan Dira. Cheers. Cheers. Thank you both for your lovely words on behalf of the family and now ej. That is something I’d like to say to you.

Well, fine. You figured it out. You’re a genius. Okay, but please, Tony. You can’t tell a soul. No. Tony, I can’t let you do this.

Hey, you. How you doing here? It’s nice to see you. Yeah, you too. I knew you’d be tending to your brother most of the day, so I thought I’d stop by and see if you needed anything. That’s very sweet of you, but I’m okay. And Collin is, he’s fine too. Good. So what are you two up to? Hmm? What do you mean? Well, when I came around the corner, I found the two of you with your heads together that seemed to be very interested in that box.

So what’s in it? It’s a medical test kit. A a test for what?

Like Sam through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

A test for a virus. A a virus. Yes. There was an outbreak on the 10th floor. I mean, it’s contained now, but to protect all the other patients from getting it, the visitors for the next 24 hours have to test negative before they let ’em in. Wow. That’s crazy. Yeah. So I, I was gonna share one of my tests with Sloan.

You know, since the hospital is low on supply, otherwise she wouldn’t. Be able to see your brother and as generous as Nicole’s offer is. I, I have to decline because I, I really think you should. No, you should have that test, Eric. Me. Why? Because me carver’s a family friend. I mean, despite my own feelings about his family, I’m sure you’d like to visit him.

What do you think, Nicole? Yeah, I, I think it makes sense. Yeah. You know what, Eric, why don’t you take a test right now and I’ll bring it straight to the lab.

Anna Wooden Gold’s name is wrong with you. I think she’s been guzzling too much wine at the bar again, excuse you. I am perfectly sober. My husband, on the other hand, obviously knocked back one too many at the bistro. What I’ve seen so sober as a judge to me. Well, that’s because I am, well, Kristin, you don’t know him like I do.

He’s obviously. Sous love Billy’s sake, and when he gets like this, he makes unwise decisions and I wouldn’t want him to say anything that he will regret later. Damn it, Anna. Anna, I think it’s adorable that you’re so protective of Tony, but we’re all family here and we should feel free to say whatever we want to each other.

Absolutely. You have the floor brother.

So tell me about Auntie May. I heard everyone thought she kicked the bucket in a hot tub incident back in the eighties. You’re asking the wrong guy. I’ve, I’ve never even met the woman. Hey, sorry, I’m looking for this slate. Hey, that’s okay. Wait a minute. Your Johnny’s date. Yes. Why?

I just assumed it would be Chanel Dupree.

What the hell, man? Like I told you before, there is nothing going on between Chanel and me. It’s history. Well, history has a way of repeating itself, so the engagement is definitely off. Oh, for God’s sake, it was never on. All right. I’m dating Wendy. Okay. My mistake. It is just so hard to keep up with things around here.

People change partners the way they change underwear. And speaking of flip flopping shin, did you really believe Johnny’s? I was high on Biscuit story. Well, Johnny wouldn’t lie to me, so yes I did. Not that it’s any of your business. So you believe he only has eyes for you? She believes it because it’s true.

Oh, that is so sweet. Too bad my shin doesn’t feel the same way. What the hell? What are you squawking on about now? My spies. Uh, Sources tell me that Ms. Shin ran off to Seattle to be with Trip Johnson, but since you’re back here now back to knock him back with this fine chap, does that mean that you’ve dumped the Good Doctor?

Was his bedside manner lacking? Oh my God, no. Of course not. Okay, so it’s double your pleasure. Double your fun. You little makes.

Well, what is it you wanted to tell me, Tony?

To be perfectly honest, I thought you deserved a toast in your honor as well, Jay, A toast or a roast, because I completely agree on the roast. I, I’ll get it started. I said a toast. Over the last seven months. Ejs done a tremendous job as c e o. You mean as Co c o Stefan, we all know that you’ve been promoted recently, but I’m talking before that.

EJ was doing very nicely on his own. As a matter of fact, under his leadership, Demer Enterprises has attained tremendous heights. Ah, you are right, Anna. He’s completely wasted. Sorry, just Megan, you haven’t been around to witness the ups and downs of Demira over the years, but trust me when I say that ej.

Is best suited for the job and it would be wise of you to wholeheartedly support him. You as well, Kristin, quite an endorsement. Indeed. Perhaps it would be prudent to just skip the actual toast. You’ve made your point, Tony. Ej. Artie thinks she’s the second coming. Tony, darling. Now that you’ve said your peace, may I have a word with you in private, why make a.

Come darling.

Well, I can see that Anna is still quite the drama queen. Tony, what were you thinking? I asked you not to tell EJ about Nicole’s pregnancy, and yet you were ready to blab that news in front of everyone. Oh, heaven’s sake. I’m just gonna do nothing in the sort. Oh, don’t play innocent with me. I’m just glad I got you to back down.

And thank God you came up with that cover story, Anna. You know, if you would just calm down and listen to me for a change. It was not a cover story. I said what I intended to say in the first place. Oh, you did? Did you? Yes. There’s a power struggle going on in there between EJ and Steph. I’m fine for my sister’s votes.

I just wanted to make it clear that I support ej. Really? Yes. Really. So you were not planning to expose Nicole’s secret? No, I was not. But you almost did that on your own.

Yeah. Thank you. But no, it wouldn’t be right. I. Tests seem to be scarce, so I’d much rather slow down it. Oh look, I was with my brother earlier. Really? I can’t wait to see him, but you shouldn’t have to as much as I’d like to see am I think it’s more important that you’d be with your family. Okay. If you insist.

I, I do listen. How about I just meet you back at your place? Great. Okay. I’ll see you too later.

Damn. Well it was a good idea I that it failed miserably and now we’re back to the same problem. This is not a problem. It’s. It’s impossibility. Try getting a cheek swab from someone without explaining to them why. Look, Sloan Moon is forcing you to help me. You can still back out. No, no. I’ve invested interest in this too.

Obviously, since my boyfriend can be your baby daddy.

I pray to God he’s not

okay. I am sorry. I doubted you sweetheart. There’s nothing new there. Oh, come on. Give me a break. I mean, when we were at the bistro, you seem to be on the fence about it and I had just promised Nicole that I wouldn’t tell a soul that she would, you know, in the family way. I still don’t feel right about this, and I’m still on the fence as you put it.

EJ has a right to know, a right to know what.

Look, you’re making Wendy very uncomfortable. Okay? Oh, come on. I’m just having fun with her. No, you are making fun of me. There’s a big difference, sweetie. Relax. Everybody loves a good love triangle. Just ask Olivia Wild. She hasn’t been this relevant since well ever. Okay. Can you make him go away please? So tell me, did you serve your special salad dressing to trip Johnny?

Both. I don’t know what that means, but if you print a word of this, I will hack into all of your accounts and make your life a living hell. Good thing I make a point to always delete my search history. Oh, good thing. Nothing on a computer is ever really deleted. There’s no need to get Tessie. Honey. I am on your side.

On my side. Well, how the hell are you on my side? Because I sympathize with your conundrum. God, I love that word. Anyway, I understand why you are torn between these two men. They are both super hot, although I would say that trip probably has a slight advantage. No, just shut up. Okay. He’s a successful doctor.

Good with his hands. Valuable member of society. Where’s Johnny here? I mean, even though he is swimming in Dir, money is basically just in. Out of work, Dante. Oh, okay. Well that’s, it looks like I lost, struck the nerve now. Okay. Hey, I heard that Gabby and your brother filed for divorce. Please feel free to give Lee my number.

And is it true that Gabby and Stephan are already engaged?

I said I wouldn’t trust a word. Tony says, uh, not only does he have a screw loose, he’s completely biased. It’s basically e j’s lap dog. Yeah, I mean, have you seen the way these two fawn over each other? It’s nauseating. I mean, it’s like, come on, get a room. It’s a big crass considering they’re brothers. I didn’t mean it literally, they’re not related by blood.

By the way, let’s not forget that Tony’s the gardener son, not to mention he’s hooked up with one of his siblings. You mean Renee? Actually, I was talking about Kristen, you and Tony. Relax it, uh, was more or less an arranged marriage set up by father, and the man that I married turned out to be Andre. Kevin, eventually you did marry Tony when you were pretending to be Nicole, and as I recall, you use that marriage of convenience to seize control at Dera.

But that’s fine. That’s forgiven and forgotten. Well, obviously not forgotten. However, we would love to work with you two very impressive sisters to ensure our family and the company’s very bright future. But to do that, we need to have Stephan solely in charge of Dara because, because he is more in tune with the.

Today’s modern world in either one of his brothers, so trust us. If you want Damara to thrive for decades to come, you need to back my brilliant fiance

out with you two. What is it that I have a right to know? Well, Anna thought that my speech before was somewhat impolitic in that I seem to be stirring the flames of your rivalry with Stephan. Oh, come now. That ship was sailed. He’s had his sight set on ousting me from the moment he returned to the land of the living.

My lover of was what I was trying to argue and that it was important that. I was proud to say that I am firmly in your corner and I sincerely appreciate that Tony and this family full of liars and vultures. It’s good to know that you’ve always hurt my back.

I am all for whatever is best for the company, but I do have to ask, what is it that you two can do for me? First off, we’ll welcome you back into this family where you belong with open arms. Make you feel at home. You’re not gonna get that from me, Jay. Believe me, he’s only looking out for himself. He won’t sacrifice a damn thing for you, not the way that Stephanie and I will.

Oh, that is simply not true. Gabby, I’m sure Megan sees through your malicious spin on my relationship with my family and this company. Furthermore, I’m sure she knows that I am more than happy to do whatever it takes to make our beloved sister feel welcomed and valued. In fact, Megan, in regard to the former, I’m willing to turn over my master suite to you after being locked up in Statesville.

I think you deserve the largest room in the house, which also boasts the best of you.

I was locked up in Stayville too, you know? Ah, yes. But Megan has seen your. Otherwise, I would’ve of course offered you the room, Krista. Mm-hmm. Of course, of course. Don’t sweat at Elvis. I wouldn’t accept your offer anyway. Not after you stabbed me in the back.

I just hated lying to eat. J just now. Oh darling, that’s because you are a kind and decent man, which is what I love about you. But darling, despite your bleeding heart, we do have to be. Careful and just keep this between us. I mean, it means that we have to be very careful and not chat about this, you know, unless we know we’re all alone and no one else is around.

I mean, if someone overheard us talking about Nicole’s pregnancy, like EJ almost did Anna, what the hell?

Hey, I am so sorry about everything Leo just said. He’s just trying to stir up drama as usual, but you know, nothing’s changed. All right, snow and I are just friends, not Johnny. You don’t have to keep telling me. Okay. I totally believe you. Good. And I know Leo was wrong about the two of you, but. He wasn’t exactly wrong about me and Tripp.

I know that. And Johnny, if it’s ever too weird or uncomfortable, I’ll understand you. Kidding me. Afraid of a little competition. No,

I’m not giving up on you without a fight.

I was wondering when we were going to get to all the demerit trauma that I’ve so sorely missed. So tell me, Kristen, how did EJ stab you in the back? Can we not go to that please? He and I were once very, very close. For God’s sake, what’s the point? I helped save his life when he was shot, and I put mine on hold as I supervised his rehabilitation.

And then a few years later when I had legal trouble, he refused to represent me for good reason. Well, whatever the reason, it doesn’t sound very brotherly. As C E O I, regrettably had to distance myself from Kristen. It was what was best for business at the time. Sadly, he shunned me again, even more hurtful.

Hey, uh, He barred me from attending the funeral of my dear friend Susan, a dear friend who happened to be my mother, whom you tortured Musclely much like you’re torturing me now. You know, I must concur. EJ does have a knack for back stabbing, especially when it comes to his siblings. And I’m not just talking about Christian here.

I’m talking about me, Chad. Ah forbid he’s saying it. And how can you be sure he won’t do the same thing to you? Just saying, and I’m just saying the bottom line, E j’s loyalty to this family is pretty much non-existent. So he might wanna think twice about taking his so-called offer

and Nicole. I, I, I didn’t, I didn’t mean to tell Tony it, it was an accident, I swear. And EJ almost overheard. Was that an accident too? Yes. That EJ is still in the dark and Tony managed to cover, so we’re all good. You know, Nicole, I still don’t feel good about this. I think my brother has the right to know if you might be carrying his child.

Look, um, I’m doing a paternity test in a few days, and as soon as I find out who the father is, I will deliver the news. But until then, I, I need you to keep this under wraps. Can you do that, please? Of course, of course. I promise. We promise, right, Tony? Fine. Thank you. Well, while I have you here, maybe you could help me speed things up, gimme some advice.

Of course. So for the paternity test, I need to swab e j’s cheek without him knowing and, and it would be easiest if he was sleeping, but he is such a light sleeper. I, I don’t, oh. No worries. I have the perfect solution.

Give him one of these. What’s this? It is a sleeping pill. Whenever I have insomnia, I just popped one. It’ll knock EJ right out and he will sleep deeply for hours and hours. Believe me.

Hey there. Hey there to you. What are you doing? Well, I saw all these towels in the dryer, so I thought I’d fold them. Oh, how very domestic. Yeah. Well, I know you got a lot going on. Hmm. So I just wanted to see what I could do to help. Thanks. I appreciate that. By the way, what are you doing home? I thought you were gonna be with your brother for a while.

Oh yeah. Well, the hospital, they canceled the visiting hours until tomorrow because of the virus? Yeah, I guess they just wanted to be safe. Yeah. And um, Eric, thank you for being so understanding about all of this, especially considering you probably think my brother is a monster and I don’t blame you one bit, but I can’t turn my back on him.

I mean, he’s in some serious trouble and Well, I should probably let you know that, um, I agree to defend him in court. I know I overheard you telling him yesterday and you’re okay with it. Well, I’m appalled by what he did, but I know you are too. My sister Sammy, she’s done a lot of terrible things over the years and I too struggled to defend her, but I stood by her to the best that I could and I admire and wanting to do the same for him.

I mean so much. Hmm. With everything going on, I really, I couldn’t stand with Lucy. You won’t. I’m here. I’m here for you. I’m not going anywhere. You know that. Right.

You know, as much as I hate to admit it, Leo was right about one thing, one time. Well, when he called me an out of work diante, I wanted to kick him in the, you know what? But he did have a point. Ah, I need to hurry up and jumpstart my film career. Okay. Well, you sound like you have a lot of family drama to mind from.

Maybe you could do a documentary about them. Not a bad idea, although. It didn’t go very well the last time I tried to tell my family’s story, so maybe I could tell yours. Mine. Mm-hmm. Thought that would be very interesting. Kidding me. Let me tell you about Wendy Shin. Bright and ambitious. Her sexist family relegates her to the wilds of Alaska, sorely underestimating our Wiley heroin.

She comes to Salem guns blazing, demanding a seat at the table. She also finds herself investigating a plot involving a mad evil scientist risking her own life. To uncover the truth along the way. She falls in love with a dashing and super hot filmmaker. Oh, super hot. Well, that’s lady whistleblowers, or it’s not mine.

Hmm. Wendy briefly finds herself torn between two guys. Before realizing that there is only one man for her. Really? Mm-hmm. And which guy was that? Well, you have to buy a ticket to find out.

Megan, I assure you that I am offering you my room as a sincere gesture of goodwill and not asking for anything in. Accept to vote my shares in your favor. Well, in that regard, I’m no different to Stephan than am I. Well, in order to avoid choosing sides of this early juncture, I think I’ll choose a different bedroom.

I’m sure there are plenty to choose from in this house. Oh, definitely Megan. I would take a look at the east wing. The sunlight in the morning is breathtaking. You know what? Come on sis. We’re gonna take a look at all the wings and uh, we’ll find a place to crash. So this will gimme a chance to give you a tour of the family homestead.

Hello? Hello there, Nicole. Kristen, you’re out of prison again? Yes. My resourceful sister got me immunity sister. Mm-hmm. Oh, Megan, this is ejs on again, off again, girlfriend Nicole Walker. Pleasure to meet you. Oh, likewise. Well yeah, stay in chat. We need to find our. Bedrooms, or should I say suites? Oh my God.

You’re gonna be living here. Of course we’re damira is darling. Where else would we live? Well, I’ll be into, mm-hmm.

I am impressed with you Eric. Grading. Yeah, because I’m folding your towels. No, because you could have cut and run. A long time ago when the whole tile thought that I was a stalker. You stood by me. You defended me to, and Abe, your sister fell. I can’t tell you how much that means to me.

You know what? Don’t gimme too much credit. I’ve had my own share of doubts as you know, but ultimately I got another person that you were, you are, and I know you aren’t capable of committing the crimes that your brother did. God, I still cannot believe he terrorized Paul and Chanel. Tried to kill them. I mean, I was angry too, but my God, I just wish I knew how broken he was, how troubled he was.

I mean, he was good at hiding things, obviously. No, still I should have been there for him, but instead I moved here to Salem to ex exact, my own revenge. Setting a bad example for him. I mean, even though I’m gonna fight like hell for him, the truth is that Colin’s probably going away to prison for a long, long time.

With both my parents gone.

You won’t be alone. Hey, you have me.

The funny thing is that for so long I was so scared of opening up my heart to anybody, letting anybody in. I’m so glad I.

I’m glad you did too.

Yeah. I love you. It’s out. Yeah. Don’t feel obligated to say it back. Don’t.

Truth is

I.

Let me guess. This is about the Sanderson sisters. I just ran into them downstairs. The Sanderson sisters, the witches from Hocus Pocus. Oh, ugh. Why are you letting those two nightmares move in here? For the simple reason that Kristin is a shareholder and soon Megan will be too. I see. And you need their votes to maintain power.

Right. And so far I am doing a miserable job getting them on my side. Dammit. I feel like my head is about to explode. I can imagine.

Oh, so do you think you’ll be able to sleep? Oh, I don’t think so. I’m too wound up. Well, in that case, um, Maybe Ha, you could, you could try one of these. What’s that? It, it’s just a sleeping pill. I don’t normally take them, just, you know, when I’m feeling anxiety or when my head is gonna explode and it’s not addictive.

It’s a mild. Instead it did to just help you sleep well through the night, and then you can wake up and you can form a plan of attack with a clear head,

fine. Sure. Sounds like a plan.

In spite of that jerk Leo turning up. I have a really nice time tonight. No, just doesn mean I’m winning. Okay. I wish you wouldn’t put it like that. I mean, it’s not a contest, it’s just me being conflicted. Then indecisive, which I do tend to be by nature or wish I weren’t, but hey, it’s okay. However indecisive you might be.

I think you’re great. And though we are not calling it a contest, Since it’s a choice that you have to make, hopefully this will, I dunno. Hope you decide.

That’ll definitely go in your column. That’s what I was hoping.

Good night.

You think we should go back downstairs? Keep working. Your sisters. Ah. Now let’s quit while we’re ahead. Best not to overplay our hand. You’re right. I mean, good thing we’ve stopped EJ from, uh, making any inroads, Megan. Hmm. And for now, Christian seems to be on our side. Yeah. Well if we keep that up, then we’ll have enough folks to ask your brother, and then we’re gonna be in control, baby.

Mm-hmm. You know, I never would’ve guessed my sister’s getting out of prison would’ve been such a major win for us. An answer to our prayers.

It’s very satisfying that our brothers are working overtime to win our allegiance A bit demeaning. If one had thin skin, how do you mean? Well, it is obviously chauvinistic of them to assume that our only option. Is for one of them to run the company. Hmm. You’re right. Huh? How the boys had their turn at the top.

Perhaps it’s time for the girls to take charge. You catch on fast? Yes. Let’s hear it for the girls.

I’m not one to take sleeping pills, but as I said, I’m so worked up right now. But you need to sleep, AJ, and honestly, it’s just one pill. It’s not gonna hurt you. Right. One second. Ah, damn. It’s where Shin at this hour. Hello, Mr. Shim. What I thought you said it was a done deal.

Of course. No, no. I, I understand. I’ll take care of it.

A potential investor is getting cold feet and need to take the jet to Chicago, talk ’em off the ledge. What you don’t mean tonight, I do. It’s too important to let it wait, especially with Steph and nipping on my heels. Look at every and any opportunity to gain the upper hand. So unfortunately, I need to depart.

I’ll see you tomorrow. Okay. Well, good luck.

Hello, it’s me. How are things going with ej? Total Bus. He just left for an urgent business trip, so obviously I won’t be able to get a sample from him. It’s all up to you now. Well, actually that’s why I’m calling Mission accomplished. I’ve got Eric’s sample in my hot little hands. Oh, thank God.

I’ll be in touch. Okay,

well, it won’t be long now. Now, soon we’ll know whether your daddy is ej. Oh, Eric.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Johnny is sitting at a table at the bar when Leo walks in and asks if the seat is taken. Johnny informs him that he is waiting for his date. Leo decides to sit down since his date isn’t there yet and asks if Johnny wants to fill him in on his latest family drama. Johnny questions what he’s talking about. Leo informs Johnny that his aunt Kristen was released from prison which shocks Johnny, who asks if she got another pardon. Leo reveals that she got immunity and now he is way more interested in his other aunt, Megan Hathaway.

Megan steps forward and announces she thinks it’s time that she take the family name as she is now claiming to be a DiMera completely and entirely. EJ then toasts to Megan DiMera. Tony thanks them for their kind words on behalf of the family, but now there is something he’d like to say to EJ, causing Anna to worry as she thinks back to asking Tony not to tell a soul about Nicole’s secret. Anna then speaks up and tells Tony that she can’t let him do this.

At the hospital, Nicole then opens the swab kit, but Eric arrives and questions what is going on here. Sloan greets Eric, who says he knew she’d be at the hospital all day with Colin so he decided to come see if she needed anything. Sloan thanks him but says they are fine. Eric says that’s good and then questions what Sloan and Nicole are up to. Nicole asks what he means. Eric points out that he saw them with their heads together and seemed really interested in that box, so he asks what’s in it. Sloan admits it’s a medical test kit, so Eric questions what the test is for. Nicole claims it’s for a virus because there was an outbreak on the 10th floor and to protect all patients, all visitors have to test before being let in. Nicole says she was going to share a test with Sloan since the hospital is low on supplies so that Sloan would be able to see her brother. Sloan says that as generous as Nicole’s offer is, she really thinks Eric should have the test. Eric questions why. Sloan points out that Abe is a family friend, so she’s sure he would like to visit him. Nicole agrees that it makes sense and suggests Eric take the test right now, so she can take it straight to the lab.

EJ questions what is wrong with Anna. Gabi remarks that Anna must have had too much wine but Anna assures that she is sober. Anna argues that Tony must have had one too many at the Bistro. Kristen points out that Tony seems sober to her. Tony says that he is but Anna disagrees. Anna remarks that when Tony gets like this, he makes unwise decisions, so she wouldn’t want him to say anything that he will regret later. Megan says they are all family here, so they should feel free to say whatever they want to each other and tells Tony that he has the floor.

Leo asks Johnny about Megan as he heard everyone thought she died in a hot tub incident back in the 80s. Johnny responds that he’s asking the wrong guy because he’s never even met Megan. Wendy then arrives and apologizes for being late as she joins Johnny. Leo is surprised to learn that Wendy is Johnny’s date because he assumed it was going to be Chanel. Johnny tells Leo there is nothing going on between he and Chanel and that’s history. Leo remarks that history has a way of repeating itself and asks if the engagement is off. Johnny insists it was never on and he’s dating Wendy. Leo apologizes and says it’s hard to keep track of things around here, commenting that people change partners like they change underwear. Leo then asks Wendy if she really believed Johnny’s high on biscuits story. Wendy assures that she did because Johnny wouldn’t lie to her. Leo asks if she believes that he only has eyes for her then. Johnny assures that is true. Leo remarks that it’s too bad Wendy doesn’t feel the same way since his sources tell him that Wendy ran off to Seattle to be with Tripp. Leo then asks that since Wendy is back here with Johnny, if that means she dumped Tripp. Wendy says no, so Leo comments that it’s double her pleasure, double her fun.

EJ asks what Tony wanted to tell him. Tony claims that he thought EJ deserves a toast in his honor too. Gabi mocks that and suggests a roast instead. Tony talks about EJ doing a tremendous job as CEO over the last several months. Stefan points out that’s co-CEO. Tony says he’s talking about before Stefan’s promotion, as EJ was doing very nicely on his own and under his leadership, DiMera Enterprises has attained tremendous heights. Gabi then agrees with Anna that Tony is completely wasted. Tony acknowledges Megan not being around over the years but assures her that EJ is best for the job, so it would be wise of her to support him and tells Kristen the same. Megan and Kristen call it quite an endorsement. Kristen suggests skipping the toast since Tony made his point. Anna asks for a word with Tony in private and takes him out of the living room. Megan remarks that she sees Anna is still quite the drama queen.

Outside the room, Anna questions what Tony was thinking since she asked him not to tell EJ about Nicole’s secret, but he was about to blab the news to everyone. Tony argues that he wasn’t going to. Anna says she’s glad that she got him to back down and he came up with a cover story. Tony insists that he said what he intended to in the first place because he just wanted to make it clear that he supports EJ. Anna questions Tony not planning to expose Nicole’s secret. Tony assures that he wasn’t, but Anna almost did on her own.

Eric tells Nicole that it wouldn’t be right, so he’d rather Sloan have the test. Sloan insists and says she was with her brother earlier, so she can wait to see him. Eric feels that she shouldn’t have to and says as much as he’d like to see Abe, it’s more important for Sloan to be with her family. Sloan agrees if he insists. Eric tells her that he will just meet her back at her place. Eric says he’ll see them later and exits the hospital. Nicole tells Sloan that it was a good idea even though it failed miserably and now they are back to the same problem. Sloan argues that it’s not a problem, but an impossibility to get a cheek swab from someone without explaining why. Nicole tells Sloan that she doesn’t have to help her and can still back out. Sloan argues that she has a vested interest in this too since her boyfriend could be her baby daddy, but she prays that he’s not.

Anna apologizes for doubting Tony which he calls nothing new. Anna argues that at the Bistro, he seemed on the fence about it and she promised Nicole that she wouldn’t tell a soul. Tony still doesn’t feel right about it and admits he is still on the fence because EJ has a right to know. EJ then comes out from the living room and asks what he has a right to know.

Johnny tells Leo that he’s making Wendy very uncomfortable. Leo argues that he’s just having fun with her while Wendy feels that he’s making fun of her. Leo encourages that everybody loves a good love triangle. Wendy asks Johnny to make Leo go away. Wendy threatens to hack in to all of Leo’s accounts and make his life Hell if he prints anything about her in his column. Leo tells her that there’s no need to get testy as he is on her side. Wendy questions how the hell he is on her side. Leo says he sympathizes with her conundrum as he understands why she’s torn between Johnny and Tripp. Leo remarks that Tripp has the advantage of being a doctor while Johnny has the DiMera money but is out of work. Johnny then has enough and forces Leo out. As Johnny is escorting Leo out, Leo calls out to Wendy that he heard about Gabi and Li’s divorce, telling her to give Li his number, and asking if it’s true that Gabi and Stefan are already engaged.

Gabi says she wouldn’t trust a word Tony said as he’s completely biased towards EJ. Megan points out that they are brothers while Stefan argues that they aren’t blood. Gabi brings up that Tony was once married to Kristen which Megan questions. Kristen explains that it was more of an arranged marriage set up by Stefano and the man she married turned out to be Andre. Gabi points out that she eventually did marry Tony while pretending to be Nicole and used that to seize control of DiMera. Gabi decides that’s all in the past and talks about how they would love to work with Kristen and Megan to ensure the family and company’s very bright future, but they need to have Stefan solely in charge to do that because he’s more in tune with today’s modern world than his brothers. Gabi declares that if they want DiMera to thrive for decades to come, they need to back Stefan.

EJ questions Anna and Tony about what he has a right to know. Tony claims that Anna thought his speech was somewhat impotent and stirring the flames of his rivalry with Stefan. EJ says that ship has sailed as Stefan has had his sights set on ousting him since the moment he came back to life. Tony assures EJ that he is firmly in his corner which EJ says he sincerely appreciates. EJ comments that in a family full of liars and vultures, it’s good to know that Tony has always had his back as he hugs him.

Megan states that she is all for what is best for the company, but she does have to ask what Gabi and Stefan can do for her. Stefan says they will welcome her back in to the family where she belongs with open arms and make her feel at home. Gabi argues that she won’t get that from EJ as he only cares about himself and won’t make any sacrifices for her like they will. EJ walks back in and says that is simply not true. EJ is sure Megan sees through Gabi’s vicious spin on his relationship with his family and the company. EJ adds that he will do whatever it takes to make Megan feel valued. EJ declares that he’s willing to turn over his master suite to Megan, feeling that after being in prison, she deserves the biggest room in the house. Kristen argues that she was locked up in prison too. EJ points out that Megan has seniority, otherwise he would have offered Kristen the room. Kristen tells EJ that she wouldn’t accept it anyway after he stabbed her in the back.

Tony tells Anna that he hated lying to EJ just now. Anna says that’s because he’s a kind and decent man which is what she loves about him. Anna says despite that, they have to be careful and just keep this between them which means they can’t chat about this unless they know they are alone with no one around. Anna comments on if someone heard them talking about Nicole’s pregnancy like EJ almost did, right as Nicole comes home and asks Anna what the hell.

Johnny returns to Wendy after getting rid of Leo and apologizes about everything Leo said as he was just trying to stir up drama as usual. Johnny assures that nothing has changed and he is just friends with Chanel. Wendy insists that she totally believes him. Wendy adds that she knows Leo was wrong about them, but not exactly wrong about her and Tripp which Johnny says he knows. Wendy says she will understand if it’s ever too weird or uncomfortable. Johnny responds that he’s not afraid of a little competition. Johnny holds her hand and declares that he’s not giving up on her without a fight.

Megan wondered when they would get to all the DiMera drama that she sorely missed. Megan then asks Kristen how EJ stabbed her in the back. EJ doesn’t want to go there. Kristen talks about how they were once very close and she saved his life after he was shot. Kristen says she put her life on hold to help with his rehabilitation, then a few years later when she had legal trouble, he refused to represent her. EJ argues that was for good reason. Megan remarks that it doesn’t sound very brotherly. EJ explains that as CEO, he regrettably had to distance himself from Kristen because it was what was best for business at the time. Kristen adds that EJ shunned her again and it was even more hurtful when he barred her from attending the funeral of her dear friend Susan. EJ argues that Kristen tortured Susan mercilessly. Stefan intervenes to state that EJ does have a knack for backstabbing, especially when it comes to his siblings including himself and Chad. Gabi asks how they can be sure EJ won’t do the same to them. Kristen declares that EJ is not loyal to the family, so Megan might want to think twice about taking his so called offer.

Anna explains to Nicole that she didn’t mean to tell Tony and swears it was an accident. Nicole questions if it was an accident that EJ almost overheard. Anna assures that EJ is still in the dark and Tony managed to cover, so they are all good. Tony repeats that he still doesn’t feel good about this as he thinks EJ has a right to know if she might be carrying his child. Nicole tells them that she is having a paternity test and when she finds out, she will share the news, but until then, she needs them to keep this under wraps. Anna and Tony promise to do that so Nicole thanks them. Nicole then asks if they can help her speed things up and give her advice. Nicole explains that in order to do the paternity test, she needs a cheek swab from EJ. Anna declares that she has the perfect solution and presents Nicole with a bottle of sleeping pills, assuring that it will knock EJ out and he will sleep deeply for hours.

Sloan comes home where Eric is folding towels from the dryer, saying he knows she has a lot going on so he wanted to do whatever he could to help. Eric asks what she’s doing home as he thought she was going to be with her brother. Sloan claims the hospital cancelled visiting hours because of the virus to be safe. Sloan thanks Eric for being so understanding about all of it, especially considering that he probably thinks her brother is a monster and she doesn’t blame him one bit, but she can’t turn her back on him as he’s in serious trouble. Sloan adds that she should probably let him know that she agreed to defend Colin in court. Eric admits that he overheard her telling him yesterday. Sloan asks if he’s okay with it. Eric says he’s appalled by what Colin did and he knows Sloan is too. Eric relates to his sister Sami doing a lot of terrible things over the years but standing by her as much as he could. Sloan tells Eric that it means so much to her because with everything going on, she couldn’t stand to lose him. Eric assures that he’s here for her and not going anywhere.

Johnny tells Wendy that he hates to admit it, but Leo was right about one thing when he pointed out that he is out of work. Johnny states that he needs to hurry up and jumpstart his film career. Wendy notes that he sounds like he has a lot of family drama to take from, so maybe he could do a documentary on them. Johnny calls that not a bad idea but points out that it didn’t go so well the last time he tried to tell his family story. Johnny suggests maybe he could tell Wendy’s instead. Wendy doubts that would be very interesting. Johnny talks about her life as a movie and everything she’s been through since coming to Salem. Johnny says in the movie, Wendy finds herself briefly torn between two guys but in the end, there’s only one guy for her. Wendy asks which guy that is, but Johnny says she’d have to buy a ticket to find out.

EJ assures Megan that he is offering her his room as a sincere gesture of good will and not looking for anything in return. Megan says except for her to vote her shares in his favor. EJ says in that regard, he’s no different than Stefan. Megan decides that she wants to avoid choosing sides this early, so she will pick a different bedroom as she’s sure there are plenty to choose from. Gabi encourages her to check the East wing. Kristen decides they will take a look at all the wings and find a place to crash. Kristen adds that it will give her a chance to give Megan a tour of the family home. Kristen and Megan exit the room to see Nicole with Anna and Tony. Nicole is shocked that Kristen is out of prison again. Kristen informs her that Megan got her immunity. Kristen then introduces Megan to Nicole. Kristen says they need to find their bedrooms. Nicole is shocked to learn they will be living there. Megan responds that they are DiMeras, so where else would they live. Kristen and Megan then head upstairs.

Sloan tells Eric that she is impressed with him because he could have cut and run a long time ago but he stood by her and defended her when the whole town thought she was a stalker. Sloan tells Eric how much that means to her. Eric says not to give him too much credit since he did have his share of doubts, but ultimately he got to know the person she is and he knows she’s not capable of the crimes that her brother was. Sloan still can’t believe Colin terrorized Paulina and Chanel and tried to kill them. Sloan says she was angry too but wishes she knew. Eric says Colin was obviously good at hiding things. Sloan feels she should’ve been there for him, but instead she moved to Salem for her own revenge and set a bad example for him. Sloan declares that she will fight like hell for Colin, but the truth is that he’s probably going to prison for a very long time. Sloan starts to cry about both her parents being gone. Eric encourages that she won’t be alone as she has him. Sloan responds that for so long, she was scared of opening her heart to anybody and letting them in, but she’s so glad she did with him. Sloan then tells Eric that she loves him and says he doesn’t have to feel obligated to say it back. Eric responds that the truth is, he loves her too as they kiss. Eric then picks her up and carries her to bed.

EJ has a drink in his room. Nicole walks in and guesses this is about his sisters. Nicole questions why he’s letting them move in. EJ points out that Kristen is a shareholder and Megan will soon be too. Nicole realizes that he will need them on his side. EJ complains that so far, he’s doing a miserable job and feels like his head is about to explode. Nicole then asks if EJ thinks he’ll be able to sleep. EJ doesn’t think so and says he’s too wound up. Nicole takes the opportunity to suggest he try a sleeping pill, claiming that she takes them when she feels like he does and says it will help him sleep through the night. Nicole says then when he wakes up, he can form a plan of attack with a clear head. EJ agrees that it sounds like a plan.

Johnny brings Wendy home. Wendy says in spite of Leo, she had a really nice time tonight. Johnny asks if that means he’s winning. Wendy doesn’t want to put it like that because it’s not a contest, just her being conflicted and indecisive. Johnny tells her it’s okay and says he thinks she’s great. Johnny agrees that it’s not a contest but a choice that she has to make. Johnny hopes to help her decide as he kisses her. Wendy jokes that will definitely go in his plus column as they say goodnight and she heads inside.

Gabi asks Stefan if they should go back to keep working on Megan and Kristen but Stefan says it’s best not to overplay their hand. Gabi says it’s good that they stopped EJ from making any in roads with Megan. Stefan adds that Kristen seems to be on their side. Gabi declares that if they keep it up, they will be in control in no time. Stefan says he never would’ve guessed that his sisters getting out of prison would be such a major win for them. Gabi calls it an answer to their prayers.

Kristen and Megan sit together in the living room, talking about their brothers trying to win them over. Megan comments on them thinking the only option is for one of them to run the company. Kristen remarks that the boys had their turn on top, so perhaps it’s time for the girls to take charge. Megan says she catches on fast as Kristen toasts to the girls.

EJ tells Nicole that he’s not one to take sleeping pills but he is so wound up. Nicole encourages that he needs to sleep and one pill won’t hurt him. EJ then gets a call from Wei Shin and answers. EJ thought he said it was a done deal, then says he will take care of it. EJ tells Nicole that a potential investor is getting cold feet, so he needs to take the jet to Chicago to talk him off the ledge and it’s too important to let wait, especially with Stefan looking for the upper hand. EJ declares that he unfortunately needs to depart and he will see her tomorrow. EJ kisses Nicole and she wishes him luck as he exits, thwarting Nicole’s plan.

Sloan sits in bed next to Eric as he sleeps. Sloan then sneaks out of bed to retrieve the cheek swab from her purse and goes to use it on Eric. Sloan then calls Nicole and asks how things are going with EJ. Nicole says it’s a total bust as he just left for a business trip, so it’s all up to her now. Sloan reveals that’s why she called because she accomplished the mission and has Eric’s sample in hand which relieves Nicole. Sloan says she’ll be in touch as they hang up.

Nicole declares that it won’t be long now and they will soon know if her baby’s daddy is EJ or Eric.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

It feels absolutely incredible to be here with you, father, pure perfection. Even though you’re only here in spirit, I’m, I’m filled. With your power and authority,

you spent my life searching, traveling the world, and now I’m finally home

where I belong. Who are you? What the hell are you doing at my house?

Afternoon bubbly. Hmm. A girl could get used to this. It’s always happy hour with you, my love, and even happier today cuz we’re celebrating your eminent divorce. Oh, I will drink to that pretty soon. A much bigger celebration in front of our family and loved ones as you and I become. Mr. And Mrs. Stephan Navara once again.

Any chance I could be made of honor?

You know what really drives me nuts that Kristen just shows up unannounced, go, no text, no calls. She just barges in spews are crap. And then she leaves. Now she’s out there lurking around, waiting. My daughter’s right in the middle of it. I know how angry you are. I don’t blame you. And I also imagine you wish you never had to see Kristen again, but I will.

I’m going to cuz I need to for the sake of my little girl. Yes, and that’s why you’ll do it because it’s exactly what’s best for your daughter. You know what amazes me, how much we endure for our children. Oh, right. I mean, I guess I have to resign to the fact that I’m, I’m gonna have to. Do Kristen for the rest of my life.

I don’t know if I really accepted that fact until right now, but it’s true. And she is. She’s always gonna be there. She’s here and I’m here and everybody who loves you is here.

I’ll get it. That better not be her. You know? I imagine she’s said enough and heard enough for one day.

Who’s there? It’s Eric.

Hey, I heard about Kristen. Yeah, thanks. Yeah, you just missed her. She was just hearing did not go well, to put it mildly. Not surprised. I’m sorry. If you need anything, I’m here for you. Thanks ma’am. I am so glad you came by. Oh. The reason why I stop by is because I have some news in my own to share.

Anna Nicole, honey. Hi. How are you doing? I’m fine. Is is something wrong? No, no, no, no, no. Not at all. I, I just wanted to check in on you and see how things are going. Did you pick up those prenatal vitamins? Uh, yes I did. Anna, I, I, I hope you’re alone. No one’s with an earshot, right? No, don’t worry. And I know I’ve said this before, but I guess it bears repeating.

No one is going to hear about this. Pregnancy from me.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Uh, I, I have to hang up now. Um, I’ll talk to you later. What, why is someone there? No, no one is just, um, a waiter,

so, Can I take your order, madam? Oh, would you like to hear the specials again? Haha.

So tell me, who are you chatting with? Jess now. Who? Oh, no one. It was just a wrong number.

I don’t think so. You hung up that phone as if I had caught you with your hand in the cookie jar, but I see no cookies. However, I did hear you say that you would keep this pregnancy a secret. So who are you talking to? Do I know this? Plus, who is with child?

Yes. You know her. You’d know her very well. In fact, I mean, to be honest, it’s, it’s very surprising. Shocking, really, because I just found out that, uh, It’s me. I’m pregnant.

Actually. I have as much right to be here as you do. Baby brother. My God, you didn’t expect me. I just heard about your release from prison, but I didn’t think you would show up here. Where else would I go? This is my home. My name might be Hathaway, but I am a Dira. Through and through,

which means my place is in this house and in the family business. Kristen. Hello Gabby Stephan. And judging by the looks on your faces, I’m guessing you haven’t heard my news. Which is drum roll please. I am a free woman. You, you were released from prison. How an immunity deal. I have the papers right here if you want to see.

Oh, thanks. Not necessary. I appreciate that brother. It means so much to be trusted by my family. Oh, but I interrupted, didn’t I? Oh, I overheard you two talking about wedding plans. Congratulations. You too. Oh, and like I said, Gabby, I’d be more than happy to stand up for you on your special day when hell freezes over.

Eric, come on. Don’t keep us in suspense. What’s the news? It’s about Sloan. She’s been cleared of all charges. They now know that she isn’t the one that has been going after Chanel and Paulina. Oh. Well that must be a, a big relief for you and for her to say the least. But somebody is obviously out for ’em.

I mean, uh, ABES just last night was attacked at Sweet Bits, right? It’s been the one who’s been terrorizing him. Does anybody know who it is? They do. It’s someone very close to Sloan. It’s her brother Colin.

Hey Nicole. What are you doing here? Picking up more prenatal vitamins. God, would you keep your voice down? I see you still haven’t told anybody you’re pregnant. No, I haven’t actually. I’m here to see Abe. You know the man your brother violently assaulted, but what do you care? You’re probably the one who put him up to it.

Dude, I had nothing to do. I No idea. Don’t say it. We both know the reason your brother came to see Himm and why Abe is lying in that hospital bed.

Thank your pardon. I don’t think I heard you correctly, but it sounded like you said that you were pregnant. Oh, darling, I realize this must come as a shock to you. After all, we thought the possibility of us becoming parents had long, long, long since passed, and to be honest, When I found out, I was just as shocked as I said.

How did you find out? How did I find out? That was the question. Yes. Isn’t it obvious? How do you think? From Dr. Rolf, he was working on some experimental fertility treatments, and I was intrigued. So I offered to be his Guinea pig, and who would’ve guessed it, we hit pay dirt. So before you know it, we’re going to be hearing the pitter pattern of little feet.

Really, Gabby, where is this hostility coming from? Oh, you really have to ask. Really? You and Lee conspired against me. You knew Stefan was alive and you kept that from me. You, you brainwashed him to hate me and to love Chloe. Is that, is that not enough for you? Or should I continue? I mean, lucky for me Your plan failed.

Miser break. Okay, Gabby, no, no, no. She needs to hear this. Okay. Stephan loves me. More. More than you will ever comprehend. And now that you realize your evil manipulations didn’t work, you have the goal to ask to take part in our wedding. Why would I ever let you anywhere near me when I am marrying Stephan?

We are together in spite of your best efforts. Which I don’t even understand what you did that for. I mean, you’re, you’re, you’re scheming all of that for what you, you’re not with Brady. No, no, no. You shouldn’t. Maybe I shouldn’t What? Tell her exactly how it is. Maybe you shouldn’t, Gabby. Maybe you shouldn’t make an enemy and a Kristin make an enemy.

Are you kidding me? She’s the enemy. She’s my sister. And we also might need her vote.

Her vote, her vote. Oh, okay. Well I see your point. So champagne,

you plan to take your place in the family business. Well, it’s my understanding that every one of Stefano’s heirs has a right to a piece of his empire and all that comes with it, including a vote in who runs the company. It’s true that all of Stefano’s offspring are afforded to share in the company by considering you’re presumed dead for almost 30 years.

Oh, come now. I’m sure that the Demira lawyers. Can handle whatever’s required to sort that out, especially since they’re my lawyers too. And I’d imagine that you’d want to be my ally in getting this sorted, which could work in your favor as well. Meaning, I am aware of the fact that you and our brother Stephan are locked in a power struggle for control of the company.

So considering the fact that my vote might mean the difference between your triumphant victory or your crushing defeat, I guess that you want to keep me on your good side

Champagne.

This is the most wonderful news. It is. Oh, I mean, it is. It is. I’m just so glad you think so too. Oh, and of course I do. Good happens after all these years. You surprising me with the blessing of a child. I think short a miracle.

You’re telling me. What was that? Nothing. I think this calls for a toast. I know. What are you doing? Uh, toasting. Oh, our blessing. Well, that’s a lovely idea. But you are now with child, which means nine months of sobriety. Oh, yes. I see. Yeah. Yes. Not a drop of alcohol. We gotta think of our baby. Of course. Yeah.

And come to think of it, complete abstinence for more than nine months, wouldn’t you say? Would I?

You get press feet out baby, aren’t you?

Oh, alcohol is just the tip of the iceberg. You know, it’s, you’ve gotta give up caffeine. A su that’s totally out of the question. And you know what, I’m gonna tell Harold to throw out all that soft cheeses what? Not the cam bear. Well, I suppose we’ll have to consult a doctor and get a list of all those no-nos for new mummies, huh?

Yeah. Have you made your appointment yet? Trician de No, no. I, I. Oh, but you must, we must I, you know, we’ll wait till I’m free. That way we can take this journey together hand in hand. Ah. And I’m gonna make sure I’m gonna be at every one of your appointments. Oh, darling, you don’t have to do that. You are a very busy man.

Oh. We’re talking about our baby. You know, little sweet Angel is going to be b a top priority. From now on, I’m gonna make sure that I’m gonna do everything in my power to ensure his or hers or their wellbeing. Uh,

why we, sorry, hold on. That way, we’ll go through the pantry, throw out everything that’s not good for the baby. Yes. And then in the morning it’ll start on the wine cellar. Wine cellar. You can’t be planning on getting rid of the wine. I mean, other people in the family drink it too, don’t they? Uh, I don’t think so.

I mean, Stephan, I think he loves his vodka. BJ and I, we like a scotch and I think Johnny is strictly beer man. And we make sure that you’re not being tempted. So you know what? We’ll take the wine and we’ll donate it to Charity. Charity. Charity. Do do you think people in need of charity, I mean, should they be drinking wine?

Oh, yeah. Come to think of it. It’s not the most appropriate thing to donate. They would just toss it out because parenting is a sacrifice, isn’t it? Mummy? Unless of course. You are not pregnant at all and that what you were discussing earlier was about someone else’s pregnancy. So would you like to tell me who it is before I throw out the cabin bear and empty the wine?

Summer? Don’t eat. I can’t. That’s why I made up that ridiculous story about Dr. Rolf and fertility treatments. I was sworn to secrecy and I refused to break my solemn vow.

What’s Nicole? Isn’t it? Dang it.

Look, I too was very sorry to hear about what happened to our mayor. But I had nothing to do with it. We are not standing in front of a judge. No need for your empty sentiment. I know damn well you had your brother do your dirty work. What’s going on here? Nothing. I was just leaving to check on my brother.

Oh, the woman.

Sorry, Kayla. Um, how’s Abe doing? Uh, well he’s still in recovery. Uh, we’re waiting for some tests to come back. He’s holding on. Okay. Do you wanna tell me what that’s all about? Unfortunately, uh, uh, Sloan found out that I’m pregnant. Ooh. And you’re afraid that she’s gonna tell somebody? Well, she said she wouldn’t.

I mean, she’s hoping that the baby is not Eric’s for obvious reasons, and she’s just as anxious as I am to find out who the father is. But you don’t want Eric or EJ to know, right. Is why I, I wanna take that paternity test sooner than later. Right. Well, you know, based on the timing of the conception that you told me about, I can get an accurate result next week.

Okay. As long as EJ and Eric don’t find out about it. I, I, I mean, before we get the test results, well, I think that that’s gonna be a problem.

So the person that went after. Pauline and Chanel is Sloane’s brother. Rumor’s already fine that Sloane put him up to it. I mean, it was only a few days ago that she found out her brother calling. What? He had been up to it. If she had known she would’ve put a stop to him. Well, that must be a relief. I know that you and Sloan are getting a lot closer.

Yeah, we have, and she’s going through a really tough time right now. Her brother, he’s in the hospital with some serious injuries and Colony expects her to be his lawyer. I’m just trying to do whatever I can to help is why, one of the reasons why I thought I would ask if I could get your help, my help.

How, uh, Sloan had mentioned to me about us having dinner with you and John, and I know you haven’t made any formal plans, but I really think it would help lift their spirits. What? Just the four of us going to supper. Yeah. I Brady you can come along if you’d like. I’ll meet now. No, I don’t wanna be a fifth wheel.

Oh, come on. You know, I’d love you to be there. You can bring whoever you want. Oh yeah. I, I, uh, gosh, the choices I have lately, who should I call? I’m sorry. I didn’t, don’t mean to be insensitive. I know you’re not seeing anyone. No, it’s okay. I, uh, I only have one woman in my life right now, and that would be Kristen.

The problem is she’s doing her damnedest to ruin my life, so no brother, I’m not gonna bring her to dinner.

So now that my vote is on the table, suddenly I’m invited to your celebration. Well, I never said you weren’t invited. I look. Planning a wedding can be stressful. And I’m afraid that Gabby lashed out without thinking Oh, because of the stress. Exactly. Mm-hmm. And because you are feuding with EJ over the company and you need me, Kristin, look, you’re right.

We have been feuding over damara, but honestly, 5% Stephen came back. I’ve just, I’ve been worried that. I could lose him again and seeing you, it just triggered me and reminded me of everything that we’ve been through. All right. I get that. Just all of it was caused by Lee. You know, you did save Stephan from my soon Tobe ex-husband, pulling the plug on him.

I don’t know how I could forgot all that. I don’t know. Just I wasn’t thinking clearly when I lashed out.

I can respect that you having been triggered as you put it. I may have acted out a bit irrationally on the past, but.

You can make it up to me, both of you. How’s that?

You can take me home with you.

To your triumphant return to Salem

Father’s special reserve. Mm. As befits the occasion. After all, it’s not every day that a Amir returns to the familial home. Oh, I thought you were going to say returns from the dead. Well, that happens with quite regularity around here. Yes, but not every day. Mm. Speaking of which wears the rest of our illustrious brood.

Surely you don’t stock these halls in solitude. No. Hardly. Oh, everyone should be back in time for dinner, in fact, in which tonight We’ll hold in, your Honor.

You want us to take you home with us? It’s not such a strange request, is it? I am a Dera after all. So you wanna move in with us at the mansion? Well see Brady. He made it very clear that I wasn’t welcomed at Marlene’s, and uh, well, as you can imagine, I’m not loaded down with a lot of friends here in Salem.

So why don’t we help each other? You do own in the house, don’t you? Actually that’s, uh, that’s up for debate. Huh? Nice. See you. Well, we could discuss that on our way home, shall we?

Kayla? I, I, I don’t understand. How could EJ and Eric find out that I’m pregnant before we get the test results? Well, in order to perform the test, I’m gonna need a blood sample from you and a cheek swab from the potential father, a cheek swab. Oh my God, what was I thinking? Ah, so how am I gonna get a.

Cheek swab from Eric and EJ without telling them what it’s for. Well, you actually don’t need it from both. You can just get it from one of them, and then if it doesn’t match, then then we would know. The other would have to be the father. Right. So I, I know that it doesn’t solve your problem, but if you could manage to.

Get one sample right? Uh um. Okay. Okay. I’ll look at the kit and if you can possibly collect a sample sometime this week. You know, once you do that, then we’ll find out, oh, my baby’s father is,

all right. Look, if you really want me to come. I wouldn’t have asked if I didn’t mean it. I’d be happy to attend. Thank you both, I really appreciate it.

You know what, I should get going. Sloan’s been at the hospital with her brother all day. See if she needs anything. Um, I’ll be in touch with you about dinner. Okay. And, I am sorry about things with Kristen. I know it’s a bit rough right now. Thanks, man.

I’ll admit. Megan’s return was quite the shock father, but as long as I keep her on my side. Well, is that champagne? Hmm. How nice of you to celebrate my triumphant return back to the homestead. Excuse me. We’ve asked Kristen to move in. Yeah. Now that she’s outta prison, we thought it only fitting that she welcome back to the bottom of our family.

Mm-hmm. Unlike you, EJ Hunt. They generously offered me a room back in my ancestral home. Now how kind of them, and I’m sure Kristin’s voting chairs have nothing to do with it. Did I hear someone say voting chairs? You must be. Stephan. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m your sister. Ah, hi in Hathaway. Yes, of course.

Uh, this is my fiance, Gabby Hernandez, soon to be Damara. Charmed. So did EJ tell you that I’m moving in? No, actually he did not. How could I turn down a dira? A Hathaway? It’s what father would want. I couldn’t agree more. Oh, then you should join us for the dinner I had planned to celebrate our sister’s return.

Celebrate the return of both of our sisters and wouldn’t miss it. Wonderful. I’ll just give Tony a call. Make sure he is able to do this.

Wow. Don’t look so stricken. My darling. Wasn’t exactly the work of her killed Pearl. Listen, I know that recently you’d become Nicole’s confidant. And that you kept one secret for her that is to there reason that you would keep another, well, fine. You figured it out. You’re a genius. Okay, but please, Tony, you can’t tell the soul.

Why not? It’s not as if she can keep it a secret for very long. True, true. But Nicole doesn’t know who the father is. Dear. Mm mm And she’s going to take a paternity test very soon. But until then, she doesn’t want EJ to know that she might be carrying another man’s child because he would, I’m sure you would agree, kick her out of the mansion on her tushy and she would like to avoid that.

Oh, that’s understandably. Mm-hmm. So, Now that I’ve explained my predicament, you won’t tell anyone, will you? Anna? I appreciate your loyalty to Nicole, but you must appreciate my loyalty to my brother. He has a right to know that his partner is pregnant and he will as soon as she finds out who the father is.

But until then, can’t you just keep this. To yourself. I mean, surely a lie of omission doesn’t count against your loyalty.

Oh, hello, ej.

Oh, we’d be delighted to come. Mm-hmm.

Okay. Oh, well. Nothing could keep us away. See you there. . Hmm. What’s going on? EJ is throwing a celebratory dinner party for a special member of the family to welcome back into the fold. He said he can’t wait for us to attend.

Kristen. Kristen, welcome home, Hannah. Oh, it’s so good to see you. It’s so wonderful to be back.

Here you go. Oh, I don’t mind if I do. Well, BJ said that we’d be welcoming harm a beloved family member, and I suspected it might be you. Oh, actually I have a feeling that I wasn’t the prodigal sibling he was, uh, referring to into Well, we’re delighted to see Kristen return home. I was actually talking about Megan.

Megan Hathaway, so it’s true. You’re alive. As we all know, I’m not the first dememer to come back from the grave. Tony, it’s lovely to see you. I see she doesn’t even crack a up. Tim,

what is going on here? Since when do we throw welcome home parties? For Excon siblings, since I am also a member of that club, I think you’d appreciate my strategy. I saw an opportunity to enlist another demira vote in my favor, so he extended a warm embrace, but it seems our brother has the same idea. So for tonight at least, well, We’re all just one big happy family, aren’t we?

Hmm.

Well, sounds like we’re gonna have dinner with Eric and Sloan. Are we welcoming her to the family or no? No, I don’t, I don’t think we have to go that far. I mean, it, it’s, it’s obviously America’s very attached to her, so I think we’ve gotta give her the benefit of the doubt. For his sake. For his sake, of course.

Yeah. And since Eric is clearly very fond of her, she must have some redeeming qualities. I hope so. I just don’t know how my presence at the dinner is going to uplift her spirits at all, nor John and mine. Oh, are you kidding me? Given Sloan’s reputation, I’m sure she’s very eager for your stamp of approval if you’re willing to give it.

That is. Well, regardless of how I or anybody in Salem feels about Sloan, Eric is devoted to her, so unless we hear something of the contrary, we have to assume that, that she’s good for him and we have to give our false support.

Here you go. This kit has a few swabs, more than enough to get samples from EJ or Eric. Easier said than done. H. H. How am I gonna get a cheek swab without explaining what it’s for? I need to have one of them. The truth. Okay, listen. Come back when you get a sample. Good luck.

Oh God, what’s wrong now? You know, I saw Kaylee just gave you that box way you’re holding it. You think there’s a live grenade in it?

Potentially. There is cheek swab. I have to get one from at least one of them. I see. Yeah. That’s kind of a hard thing to ask for, you know, without follow up questions. What about while ejs sleeping? You know, just get in there quickly, quietly. Oh yeah. And. Watch him wake up while I’m probing him. How would I explain that?

That’d be tricky. Impossible. Actually, no, no. I, I’m, I’m just gonna have to figure this one out on my own.

What if I did it? What if I did it not to ej? Obviously you would get a sample from Eric. Shouldn’t be too hard. I mean, God man. The very sound sleeper, which I’m sure you remember. Look, I know this isn’t ideal. I. But considering your current predicament, maybe just file this one under, don’t look a gift.

Horse in the mouth. And what if Eric figures out what you’re doing? I’ll lawyer my way. Outfit. No, you know what, no. Forget it. I, I, I’m, I’m gonna have to figure this out on my own. Like I said, I will, I will get a sample from EJ somehow. And what if you can’t, then what?

Well, good for you. Yeah, thanks for the info. Bye.

Who was that? That was, that was Kristen. Now that she’s back in town, she was just letting me know where she’s staying and where is she staying. Apparently she is moving back in with the family.

Everyone. Everyone. Attention please attention. Now that we’re all together, I think a toast is in order. I could not agree more, brother, and if you don’t mind my fiance Gabby, and I would like to welcome my sister Kristen, back to the Dara home. Where she belongs. Thank you to Kristen. Aww. Yes. Thank you Stefan.

And to our other sister, Megan Hathaway. About that. I think it’s long overdue that I take the family name. After all, I’m not really a Hathaway. The purpose of that name was served long ago. I am now claiming to be a Demer completely and entirely

here, here to.

Well, I’d like to say a thank you to the two of you for your kind words on behalf of the family. But now AJ, there is something I’d like to say to you.

I know I’m not your first choice. In doing this, but who else can you turn to? Just gimme one swap and we’ll both go and try and get a sample ready. Say you’ll double your chances of success.

Unless you wanna come clean to both Eric and ej, just tell them the truth. I don’t know, maybe it’s easier if you just get everything out on the table.

But on the other hand, with everything that I’m going through, I brother, his case, I can’t look, I need support from Eric. I can’t have him distracted by everything that’s going on, thinking that he could. Maybe fathered your child

and if EJ believes I’m carrying another man’s baby, he will go ballistic. And obviously I, I wanna avoid that. And potentially we can, so sounds like we’re in agreement.

What’s going on?

Update written by Joseph

Megan enters the DiMera Mansion and talks to the portrait of Stefano, saying it feels perfect to be back here. Megan notes that even though Stefano is only there in spirit, she is filled with his power and authority. Megan declares she has spent her life searching and traveling the world, but now she is finally home where she belongs. EJ walks in and asks who the hell she is and what the hell she’s doing in his house.

Gabi and Stefan have drinks in the town square, celebrating her upcoming divorce. Stefan says soon they will have an even bigger celebration in front of their family and loved ones as they become Mr. and Mrs. DiMera once again. Gabi and Stefan kiss until Kristen approaches and asks if there’s any chance she can be maid of honor.

Brady complains to Marlena about Kristen and how Rachel is right in the middle of it. Marlena knows how angry he is and that he wishes he never had to see Kristen again. Brady knows he needs to for Rachel’s sake. Marlena talks about how much they endure for their children. Brady guesses he will have to endure Kristen for the rest of his life. Marlena encourages that everyone who loves him will be there too. Eric shows up at the door and says he heard about Kristen. Brady says she was just there and it did not go well. Eric says he’s sorry and that he’s there if he needs anything. Marlena says she’s so glad that Eric came by. Eric reveals that he came by because he has some news of his own to share.

Nicole is at the hospital and gets a call from Anna, who asks how she is doing. Nicole says she’s fine and asks if something is wrong. Anna says not at all and she just wanted to check on her to see how things are going. Anna asks if Nicole picked up the pre-natal vitamins. Nicole confirms that she did. Nicole hopes Anna is alone and no one is within ear shot of her. Anna assures that no one is going to hear about this pregnancy from her. Tony then appears and surprises Anna. Anna tells Nicole that she has to hang up now and will talk to her later. Nicole questions if someone is there. Anna claims that it’s just the waiter as she hangs up. Tony sits with Anna and questions who she was chatting with just now. Anna claims that it was just a wrong number but Tony doesn’t believe her because he hung up as if he caught her with her hand in the cookie jar. Tony reveals that he did hear her say that she’s keeping a pregnancy a secret. Tony asks who she was talking to and if he knows this person who is with child. Anna says that Tony does know her very well. Anna calls it very surprising and shocking, claiming that she just found out that she herself is pregnant.

Megan informs EJ that she has as much right to be here as he does and calls him baby brother. EJ is shocked and says he just heard about her release from prison but he didn’t think she would show up here. Megan asks where else she would go since this is her home. Megan states that her name might be Hathaway, but she is a DiMera through and through which means that her place is in this house and in the family business.

Gabi is shocked to see Kristen. Kristen guesses they haven’t heard her news that she is a free woman. Gabi questions how she got released from prison. Kristen reveals it was an immunity deal. Kristen asks if she interrupted but says she overheard their wedding plans, so she congratulates them. Kristen tells Gabi that she would be more than happy to stand up for her on her special day. Gabi says when Hell freezes over.

Marlena tells Eric not to keep them in suspense on the news. Eric announces that Sloan has been cleared of all charges and they now know that she was not the one going after Paulina and Chanel. Marlena acknowledges that must be a big relief for him. Brady points out that someone obviously has it out for them and brings up Abe just being attacked at the bakery. Marlena asks if anybody knows who it is. Eric reveals that it is Sloan’s brother, Colin.

Sloan goes to the hospital and sees Nicole pacing. Sloan asks if Nicole is picking up more pre-natal vitamins. Nicole tells her to keep her voice down. Sloan realizes she still hasn’t told anybody that she’s pregnant. Nicole informs her that she’s actually here to see Abe, who Sloan’s brother violently assaulted and remarks that she probably put him up to it. Sloan argues that she had nothing to do with it. Nicole yells at her to save it because they both know why her brother came to town and why Abe is lying in a hospital bed.

Tony questions Anna saying that she is pregnant. Anna says she realizes it must be a shock to him. Tony asks how she found out. Anna claims that Dr. Rolf was working on experimental fertility treatments and she was intrigued, so she offered to be his guinea pig and she hit pay dirt.

Kristen questions Gabi’s hostility. Gabi reminds Kristen that she and Li conspired against her and kept Stefan being alive from her while brainwashing him to hate her and love Chloe. Gabi says luckily for her, the plan failed miserably. Gabi tells Kristen that Stefan loves her more than she could ever comprehend. Gabi asks why she would ever let Kristen anywhere near her at her wedding when they are getting married in spite of her best efforts. Gabi doesn’t even understand why Kristen did all of that since she’s not even with Brady. Stefan tries to calm Gabi down, warning that maybe she shouldn’t make an enemy out of Kristen. Gabi argues that Kristen is the enemy. Stefan points out that Kristen is his sister and reminds Gabi that they might need her vote. Gabi reluctantly admits that she sees his point and then offers Kristen champagne.

EJ questions Megan wanting her place in the family business. Megan states that all of Stefano’s heirs has a right to a piece of his empire and all that comes with it, including a vote to who runs the company. EJ says that’s true but Megan has been presumed dead for almost 30 years. Megan is assure the DiMera lawyers can handle it and imagines that EJ would want to be her ally in this situation as it could work in his favor. Megan brings up that EJ and Stefan are locked in a power struggle for control of the company. Megan says her vote might be the difference between his triumphant victory or his crushing defeat, so she guesses he wants to keep her on his good side. EJ then offers her champagne.

Tony tells Anna that this is the most wonderful news that she is surprising him with the blessing of a child which he calls a miracle. Anna calls for a toast but Tony reminds her that she can’t drink while with child as they have to think of their baby for 9 months. Anna gets uncomfortable as Tony talks about all she has to give up. Tony says they are on this journey together and he’ll make sure he’s at every one of her appointments. Anna tells him that he doesn’t have to do that since he is very busy. Tony says their baby will be the top priority from now on. Tony says they will get rid of all the wine in the wine cellar so that she doesn’t get tempted, unless of course she is not pregnant at all and that she was discussing someone else’s pregnancy. Tony asks if she would like to tell him who it is now. Anna complains that she can’t and that’s why she made up the ridiculous story about Dr. Rolf’s fertility treatment. Anna informs Tony that she was sworn to secrecy and refuses to break her solemn vow. Tony then guesses that it’s Nicole.

Sloan repeats to Nicole that she had nothing to do with Abe while Nicole argues that she knows Sloan had her brother do her dirty work. Kayla interrupts and asks what’s going on here. Sloan says she was just going to check on her brother and walks away. Nicole asks Kayla how Abe is doing. Kayla says he’s still in recovery and they are waiting for tests to come back, but he’s holding on. Kayla asks what was going on. Nicole informs her that Sloan unfortunately found out that she’s pregnant. Nicole says Sloan is hoping Eric’s not the father and is just as anxious to find out. Nicole wants to take the paternity test sooner than later. Kayla says she can get an accurate result next week. Nicole agrees to that as long as Eric or EJ don’t find out before they get the test results. Kayla thinks that will be improbable.

Eric tells Brady and Marlena about Colin and insists that if Sloan knew, she would’ve put a stop to it. Marlena repeats that it must be a relief since she knows Eric and Sloan are getting closer. Eric says that Sloan’s going through a tough time because Colin is in the hospital with injuries and he expects her to be his lawyer. Eric adds that he’s just trying to do whatever he can to help so he came to ask for Marlena’s help. Marlena asks how she can help. Eric brings up that Sloan mentioned wanting them to have dinner with John and Marlena as he really thinks it would lift her spirits. Marlena asks if it would just be the four of them. Eric invites Brady but he doesn’t want to be a fifth wheel. Eric insists that he would love for him to be there and that he can bring whoever he wants. Brady jokes about the choices he has. Eric apologizes for being insensitive as he knows he’s not seeing anyone. Brady says he only has one woman in his life right now and that would be Kristen, who is doing her damndest to ruin his life, so he won’t bring her to dinner.

Kristen mocks the idea that now that her vote is on the table, suddenly she’s invited to the celebration. Gabi claims she never said she wasn’t invited. Stefan argues that planning a wedding can be stressful and Gabi lashed out without thinking. Kristen adds that they are feuding with EJ over the company and they need her. Gabi admits they have been feuding over DiMera, but ever since Stefan came back, she’s been worried about losing him again so seeing Kristen triggered her and reminded her of everything they had been through. Gabi acknowledges that Kristen did save Stefan from Li pulling the plug on him and says she just wasn’t thinking clearly when she lashed out at her. Kristen says she can respect that and admits she may have acted a bit irrationally in the past. Kristen says they can both make it up to her by taking her home with them.

EJ pours champagne and toasts to Megan’s triumphant return to Salem. They joke about regular returns from the death around here. Megan asks where the rest of the family is. EJ informs her that everyone should be back in time for dinner, which tonight he says will be held in Megan’s honor.

Gabi questions Kristen wanting them to take her home with them. Kristen feels it’s not a strange request since she is a DiMera after all. Stefan realizes that she wants to move in to the mansion with them. Kristen says that Brady made it clear that she’s not welcome at Marlena’s and she doesn’t have a lot of friends in Salem. Kristen suggests they help each other out and asks about owning the house. Stefan says that’s up for debate. Kristen decides they can discuss that on their way home and walks off with Gabi and Stefan.

Nicole asks Kayla how EJ and Eric can find out that she’s pregnant before they get the test results. Kayla explains that she will need a blood sample from her and a cheek swab from the potential father. Nicole is shocked and asks what she was thinking, questioning how she can get a cheek swab from Eric and EJ without telling them what it’s for. Kayla points out that she only has to get it from one of them and if it doesn’t match, then it would be the other. Kayla encourages Nicole to just get one sample. Kayla agrees to go get the kit and if Nicole can collect that sample this week, then they will find out who her baby’s father is.

Brady tells Eric that if he really wants him to come to dinner, he’d be happy to attend. Marlena agrees that she and John will as well. Eric thanks them and says he really appreciates it. Eric decides to go see if Sloan needs anything since she’s been at the hospital with Colin all day. Eric says he’ll be in touch about dinner and that he’s sorry about Kristen as he exits.

EJ talks to the portrait of Stefano and admits that Megan’s return was a surprise but as long as he keeps her on his side. Stefan and Gabi then come home with Kristen. Kristen notices the champagne and calls it nice to celebrate her return home which EJ questions. Stefan reveals that they asked Kristen to move in. Gabi calls it only fitting since she’s released from prison. Kristen remarks that unlike EJ, they generously offered her a room. EJ remarks that he’s sure Kristen’s voting shares had nothing to do with it. Megan comes back in to the room and asks if she heard someone say voting shares. Megan then introduces herself to Stefan and Gabi. Megan asks if EJ told them that she’s moving in which Stefan says he did not. EJ says he couldn’t turn down a DiMera and invites them to join the dinner to celebrate his sister’s return. Stefan says he wouldn’t miss it. EJ says he will just give Tony a call to make sure he’s able to join them.

Tony tells Anna that he knows she has recently become Nicole’s confidant and she kept a secret for her, so it stands to reason that she would keep another. Anna admits that he figured it out and begs him not to tell a soul. Tony asks why not since Nicole can’t keep it secret for very long. Anna says that’s true but reveals that Nicole doesn’t know who the father is, so she’s going to take a paternity test very soon but until then, she doesn’t want EJ to know that she might be carrying another man’s child because he would kick her out of the mansion and she’d like to avoid that. Tony calls that understandable. Anna asks if Tony will agree not to tell anyone. Tony appreciates her being loyal to Nicole, but argues that she must appreciate him being loyal to EJ, who has a right to know that his partner is pregnant. Anna argues that he will know as soon as she finds out who the father is. Anna asks Tony to keep it to himself until then and thinks it won’t count against him being loyal. Tony then gets a call from EJ and says they would be delighted to come. Tony says nothing could keep them away and he’ll see him there as he hangs up. Anna asks what’s going on. Tony informs her that EJ is throwing a celebratory dinner party to welcome a special member of the family back in to the fold and said he can’t wait for them to attend.

Anna and Tony return home, surprised to see Kristen. Tony welcomes Kristen home. She hugs him and says it’s wonderful to see him and to be back. Tony says he suspected it might be Kristen when EJ said they were welcoming home a family member. Kristen reveals it wasn’t her that he was referring to. EJ then introduces Megan. Anna is shocked to see that Megan is alive. Megan jokes that she’s not the first DiMera to come back from the grave. Tony steps aside with EJ and questions what is going on and since when they celebrate ex con siblings. EJ thinks he would appreciate his strategy and explains that he saw an opportunity to enlist another DiMera vote in his favor, but it seems Stefan has the same idea, so for tonight, they are all just one big happy family. Anna steps aside with Tony to ask what he and EJ were talking about.

Brady tells Marlena that it sounds like they are having dinner with Eric and Sloan. Brady asks if they are welcoming Sloan to the family. Marlena doesn’t think they have to go that far but thinks they have to give Sloan the benefit of the doubt for Eric’s sake. Marlena says that since Eric is very fond of her, she must have some redeeming qualities. Brady hopes so but he doesn’t know how his presence at the dinner will uplift her spirits at all. Marlena feels the same but Brady says he’s sure that Sloan is eager for her stamp of approval. Marlena says regardless of how anyone feels about Sloan, Eric is devoted to her so they have to assume that she’s good for him and they have to give their full support.

Kayla brings Nicole the kit for cheek swabs. Nicole questions how she’s going to get one without telling them what it’s for. Kayla suggests maybe telling one of them the truth. Kayla tells her to just come back when she gets a sample and wishes her luck as she walks away. Sloan returns to Nicole and asks what’s wrong now. Sloan questions the box that she’s holding. Nicole explains that she has to get a cheek swab from EJ or Eric. Sloan sees that’s a hard thing to ask for without all the questions. Sloan suggests doing it while EJ is sleeping. Nicole asks how she would explain it if he woke up. Sloan admits it’d be tricky. Nicole decides that she’ll just have to figure this out on her own. Sloan then asks what if she did it to Eric. Sloan knows it’s not ideal, but considering her predicament, they can file this under don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Nicole worries about Eric figuring out what she’s doing. Sloan says she will lawyer her way out of it. Nicole tells her to forget it as she has to figure this out on her own and she will get a sample from EJ somehow. Sloan asks what if she can’t.

Brady finishes a call with Kristen and informs Marlena that she was just letting him know that she will be moving back in to the DiMera Mansion.

EJ calls for a toast. Stefan agrees and says he and Gabi would like to welcome Kristen back to the DiMera home, where she belongs. Stefan and Gabi toast to Kristen. EJ then says to their other sister, Megan Hathaway. Megan steps forward and announces she thinks it’s time that she take the family name as she is now claiming to be a DiMera completely and entirely. EJ then toasts to Megan DiMera. Tony thanks them for their kind words on behalf of the family, but now there is something he’d like to say to EJ, causing Anna to worry.

Sloan knows she’s not Nicole’s first choice, but asks who else she can turn to. Sloan asks for one swab and they’ll both try to get a sample so it will double her chances of success, unless she wants to come clean to both Eric and EJ. Sloan suggests maybe it’s easier to tell them the truth and get everything out on the table, but on the other hand, she’s going through everything with Colin and his case so she needs support from Eric and she can’t have him distracted by thinking he could have maybe fathered her child. Nicole worries that EJ will go ballistic if he believes she’s carrying another man’s baby and she wants to avoid that. Sloan says it sounds like they are in agreement. Nicole then opens the kit, but Eric arrives and questions what is going on here.

Update written by Joseph

Xander is drilling on the wall of his apartment until Chloe comes in and questions all the noise. Xander explains that he is re-hanging up the pictures that fell off the wall, but it falls down again.

Kristen shows up at Marlena’s door and asks if she missed her.

Andrew shows up at Paul’s door and surprises him. They embrace as John smiles.

Roman and Kate have breakfast at the Brady Pub. Roman calls it her first full day back in Salem, so whatever she wants to do, they are doing it. Kate says she’d really like to go to the prison to see Lucas, so he can see his mom is alive and well and so she can see how he’s doing. Roman admits it will be a relief and he will be thrilled. Kate adds that she will also want to pay a visit to Megan Hathaway and give her a piece of her mind. Megan then enters the Pub and declares that it looks like she saved her the trouble. Roman stands up and stands in between Megan and Kate. Megan says she won’t lay a finger on Kate because she’s of no use to her now. Megan adds that she wouldn’t want to jeopardize her new found freedom. Kate questions how the hell she is free and how she got out of prison.

Chad remains in Greece and is on the phone with Stephanie, explaining that he didn’t go back to Salem with Roman and Kate because he wanted to see this thing through. Chad doesn’t believe Dimitri’s story about holding Andrew hostage and feels he’s using it as a bargaining chip for immunity. Chad adds that after what Dimitri did to Kate, he needs to make sure he’s headed back to the Alamainan prison where he belongs. Chad tells Stephanie that he will call her tonight and hangs up as Dimitri shows up at his door.

Shawn remains in Greece, on the phone with Belle. Shawn complains about sitting around waiting for anything to happen with Bo. Shawn wishes he could go back in time and not pull the trigger. Shawn hangs up with Belle as Harris Michaels enters the room. Shawn questions what the hell he’s doing there. Harris responds that he needs to see Hope.

Xander tells Chloe to be his guest if she thinks he can do a better job hanging the picture, so Chloe tells him to hand her the drill.

Shawn tells Harris that he’s not getting anywhere near Hope as she made it very clear that she wants nothing to do with him. Harris explains that he’s not here because he wants Hope back, but to warn her. Harris says he’s actually hear to warn all of them which Shawn questions.

Marlena threatens to call 911 to have Kristen dragged back to prison. Kristen asks if she really thinks she’d show up here if she broke out of prison. Marlena asks if she got another pardon. Kristen reveals that she got granted full immunity courtesy of her new found sister, Megan. Marlena argues that Megan doesn’t even know Kristen so she questions why she would help her. Kristen responds that family is the gift that keeps on giving. Kristen explains that she and Megan met and bonded in prison as long lost sisters, reunited at least. Kristen shows Marlena her papers to prove it and tells her to read them and weep.

Megan shows Roman her prison release papers and remarks that she does miss the fish market. Kate tells her to go to Hell. Megan reminds Kate that she saved her life, so she could at least show gratitude. Kate questions how Megan got immunity after what she did to her, Marlena, and Kayla. Roman states that it’s Dimitri Von Leuschner.

Dimitri informs Chad that he came to share the good news in person that he’s free with full immunity. Chad questions Dimitri kidnapping Andrew and getting rewarded with full immunity. Dimitri understands his disappointment since he considers Kate family and wants to see him pay for what happened to her. Chad warns that he will make him pay. Dimitri urges Chad to reconsider where he’s loyal because Kate is happily back home with her husband, so no harm done. Chad argues that he put her through Hell and calls him a son of a bitch. Dimitri says he meant there’s no lasting harm. Dimitri thinks Chad’s outrage on Kate’s behalf is over the top since Kate isn’t true family or blood related, like he is. Chad argues that they are not related but Dimitri reveals that Chad’s sister Megan is his mother. Chad is shocked to learn that Dimitri is a DiMera as Dimitri jokes about calling him Uncle Chad. Chad says he doesn’t like him, they are not related, and he wants him to leave. Dimitri asks if this news is of no interest of him. Chad says it’s not. Dimitri knows he only knows Megan through reputation but encourages him to keep an open mind, assuring him that Megan is a fascinating woman. Chad says he’s heard that Megan is a crazy bitch with a heart of stone who belongs in prison. Chad says he won’t get to know her for a very long time since she is in prison, but Dimitri reveals that Megan and Kristen have been sprung from prison as they got a very good deal. Dimitri admits that it did get a little risky adding Kristen to the mix. Chad questions why he would risk the deal for somebody like Kristen. Dimitri calls that not a nice way to talk about his sister. Dimitri praises Kristen. Chad tells him to shut up as he doesn’t even know Kristen. Dimitri says he does know Kristen well since she got to know Megan in prison and he had the means to help. Dimitri tells Chad that now they can head back to Salem and be one big happy family and asks what Chad says to that.

Kristen remarks that Marlena is looking rather refreshed and asks if Megan gave her a dose of her fountain of youth serum. Marlena asks what she wants. Kristen says she came to tell her that she’s no longer the chief maternal figure in her daughter’s life, because she’s home to stay. Marlena argues this is not her home. Kristen points out that it is Rachel’s home. Brady then comes in and sees Kristen.

Chloe hangs the picture on the wall. Xander asys he can take it from here. Chloe argues that she did all the work. Xander straightens the picture and says now it’s perfect. Chloe tells him that she will hang the other picture while Xander can clean up. Xander argues that now that Chloe showed him the correct technique, he can handle it while Chloe just cleans. Chloe questions if she’s supposed to stick to the woman’s work. Xander remarks that he just meant she’s a better cleaner than he is. Chloe says that isn’t much better but says she will clean up and mentions going from an orphanage to foster care and having PTSD when it comes to cleaning. Xander relates and tells her to forget about it as he’ll just clean up after he’s done. Chloe reminds him that she promised to keep up the housework until she finds gainful employment, so she asks him to just let her do it. Chloe adds that she doesn’t usually lounge around all morning in her pajamas. Chloe is sure that he thought she would have a job by now and be able to pay her own way. Chloe doesn’t think it’s fair that Xander pays the rent, so she’s starting to think that moving in with him was a mistake.

Marlena tells Brady that she’s sorry that she didn’t have time to warn him. Brady informs her that he heard on the news and figured Kristen would be here. Brady says he came to warn Marlena and John but she beat him to it. Kristen responds that she came to see her daughter. Brady informs her that Rachel is in P.E. class and remarks that she would be aware of that if she had any involvement in Rachel’s day to day. Kristen blames Brady. Marlena says that’s enough. Marlena says Kristen came to see Rachel and she’s not here, so she is welcome to go now. Kristen refuses to leave until she knows when she gets to see her daughter. Kristen reminds Brady that they had a deal since she wrote Rachel the letter, urging her to give Chloe a chance. Brady says the problem was that Rachel didn’t believe a word of it because Kristen poisoned her mind with lies about Chloe for months now. Kristen argues that they weren’t lies and remarks that she knew Chloe would leave him for the first man to come around and now she’s already moved in with Xander. Brady asks how she found out about that. Kristen informs him that Rachel wrote her a letter. Kristen thinks Chloe and Xander make a great couple as they both have no substance or morals and are utterly detestable. Marlena doesn’t think Kristen is in any position to lecture anyone about morals. Kristen brings up that Marlena has been possessed by the devil twice. Brady tells Kristen that Chloe and Xander are not together as they are just roommates. Kristen asks how long he thinks that will last as she remarks that Xander will get any woman he knows in to bed sooner than later, including ones that claim to hate him.

Xander asks Chloe what’s wrong and if she doesn’t like the apartment or him as her roommate. Chloe says it’s just her and guesses she wasn’t being very realistic about her prospects in the labor market. Chloe knows there are jobs out there and she could flip burgers or drive a ride share, but there are not a lot of opportunities for opera singers in Salem or fashion merchandisers outside of DiMera. Xander suggests she give voice lessons. Chloe says she had this idea of reinventing herself and trying something new, but no one is interested in what she has to offer. Xander finds that hard to believe. Chloe admits she leapt in to this living situation, partly to piss off Brady which worked but it wasn’t as satisfying as she thought it would be since she and Brady are still apart. Xander guesses she’s still in love with Brady. Chloe feels she’s just at loose ends. Xander doesn’t think she should make any major life decisions like moving then. Xander adds that he would be really sad if she moved out. Xander reveals that he picked up a dart board for their apartment so they can play and says they can split the cleaning even though she is better at it. Xander encourages her to stay, so Chloe agrees to give their living arrangement a little more time. Xander then asks Chloe if she would like to come work for him.

Kate remarks that Megan being Dimitri’s mother makes sense. Megan argues that Kate is so ungrateful since Dimitri pulled her out of the sea and saved her life just as much as she did while she never thanked him. Kate complains that it was under Megan’s orders to torture her. Megan remarks that she could’ve told him to let her drown, but instead she was treated like royalty in the end. Roman questions Megan planning this as he thought she believed Kate was really dead. Megan says she did at first but figured out what must have happened and planned accordingly. Megan tells Roman that he should know by now that she’s always one step ahead of him. Roman asks how Megan knows so much about what happened on the boat while she was in prison. Megan states that Dimitri tells her everything. Megan brings up Lucas being behind bars. Kate warns her to keep her son’s name out of her mouth. Megan says she’ll just keep talking about how grateful she is that Dimitri is free. Roman asks if she just came to gloat. Megan responds that she came because she has pressing business to discuss with him.

Harris reveals to Shawn that Megan is Dimitri’s mother and explains that Dimitri refused to accept the immunity deal unless they included Megan and Kristen which shocks Shawn. Harris wanted Shawn and Hope to be the first to know because Megan will have her sights on Bo. Harris asks if he can talk to Hope for one minute and promises to do whatever it takes from now on to keep Bo and Hope safe. Shawn tells Harris that he’s done enough and he will take it from here as he then exits the room.

Chad says it’s insane to think they would be one big happy family. Chad asks if Dimitri, Megan, and Kristen are all going to move in to the DiMera Mansion which he confirms. Chad says it’s a good thing he moved out when he did then. Dimitri questions his attitude and suspects that they have a lot more in common than he thinks. Dimitri asks Chad to call the DiMera Jet so they can get to know each other on the ride home.

Roman tells Megan if she’s here to make more threats, she can leave or he can call the police on her for trespassing. Megan remarks that Roman used to be one of those cops that he’s now threatening to call and says the mighty have fallen. Kate asks what Megan wants since she already said that she’s of no use to her. Megan brings up Rachel’s letter to Kristen, saying that Bo was shot by his idiot son and asks how he is. Roman informs her that Bo is in a coma but they don’t blame Shawn because if anyone is to blame, it’s Megan. Megan declares that if it wasn’t for her, Bo wouldn’t even be alive. Roman argues that if it wasn’t for her, Bo would have been here with his family for months but she had to try to make Bo love her. Roman calls that an epic fail because after just a short time with Hope, their love was stronger than ever. Megan remarks that was before Hope’s son put him in a coma. Roman encourages that Bo is a fighter so he will make it through this and when he does, his heart will belong to Hope and only Hope. Megan declares that she will have to fly to Greece then to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Shawn returns to Harris and comments on him still being there. Shawn informs him that he told Hope what he said as they are in the process of moving Bo to a long term care facility. Harris comments on the process going slowly. Shawn says they hoped to move Bo to Montreal so they could be close to Hope’s home but obviously that’s the first place that Megan would look, so they need to find some place else that is secure where no one can track him down.

Chloe asks if Xander is serious about her working for him. Xander reminds her that he’s co-owner of the Spectator and has an ownership stake with the power to fire and hire. Chloe argues that she’s not qualified for anything at the newspaper. Xander encourages that they could use her in advertising and marketing and she’s already an expert on music and fashion so she’d be perfect. Chloe argues that he doesn’t know she can do those things or even if she can write. Xander declares that if Leo Stark can do it, why can’t she which Chloe admits is a good point. Chloe wonders if she should accept. Xander thinks she should but Chloe asks if them living together and working together isn’t a bit much. Xander thinks they can handle it and remarks that it’s not like they are sleeping together.

Brady points out to Kristen that Xander didn’t sleep with her when he was working for her, so he tells her to just shut her mouth about the subject. Kristen tells Brady that she’s sorry as she knows this must be painful for him. Brady knows that’s why she said it. Kristen argues that he needs a dose of reality. Kristen points out that Brady and Chloe have been on again off again for 20 years and it never lasts and never will. Brady compares it to the toxic relationship he’s had with Kristen being in and out but fortunately it’s been more out than in. Brady calls it a nightmare. Kristen disagrees and says they had some good times. Kristen adds that unlike Chloe, they share a daughter. Brady sometimes wishes they didn’t and that Kristen would stay the hell out of his daughter’s life. Kristen complains about Brady calling Rachel his daughter and shouts that she is as much her daughter as his which Brady calls a shame because Rachel has no idea how bad she is for all of them. Brady tells Kristen that she’s not going to stay here and put Marlena through Hell again. Kristen questions if he’s putting it on Marlena to get her out because he can’t do it himself. Kristen insists that’s why she knows Brady will come around again, because he always does.

Chloe cleans up the apartment while Xander jokes about hiring a housekeeper. Chloe tells him that she has a personal question about the job at the Spectator. Chloe wonders if Gwen is running the day to day operations and if that means she gets a say on new hires. Chloe guesses that Gwen isn’t happy they are living together and probably hates her. Xander says he will handle Gwen. Chloe asks what if he can’t handle her because she just left a really toxic work environment and she can’t deal with that again. Xander promises that Gwen won’t be a problem and tells her to focus on enjoying her new job. Xander adds that she will practically make her own hours, work from home, and be her own boss. Xander tells Chloe to get changed and he will give her a tour of the office which she accepts. Chloe thanks Xander and goes to change.

Brady questions Kristen not thinking he has it in him to kick her out. Kristen argues that he can’t keep her away from her daughter. Brady reminds her that he has full custody. Kristen brings up that Rachel took a rideshare to come visit her in prison. Kristen asks what he thinks Rachel is going to do when she finds out she’s back in town, arguing that he can’t keep them apart and that Rachel will hate him as much as Chloe. Brady says not if he makes her understand that Kristen is mentally disturbed person who refuses therapy. Brady doesn’t want Kristen near Rachel. Brady states that she may be her biological mother but she forfeited her parental rights when she became an evil person. Brady feels he would be considered an abusive father if he let Rachel around her for a minute right now. Kristen warns Brady that she will see him back in court then to revisit their custody arrangement. Kristen tells Brady to go to Hell and walks out.

Roman warns Megan that she does not want to go near Bo. Megan supposes there is no rush since Rachel’s letter made it clear that Bo has been quite unresponsive. Megan decides that she will delay her trip to Greece until Bo is closer to waking up while there’s plenty for her to accomplish in Salem. Kate asks if she means destroying more lives. Megan declares that her family is here and she wants to get to know them better while claiming her rightful place as a DiMera.

Harris gets that Shawn doesn’t trust him and he doesn’t blame him. Shawn is glad he understands and says they are done here. Harris then gives Shawn a heads up that when he leaves Greece, he will be flying home to Salem.

Brady asks Marlena why this is happening again. Marlena says she’s so sorry. Brady apologizes for everything Kristen is putting Marlena through. Marlena says they are fine but it’s Brady and Rachel that are suffering. Marlena adds that no judge anywhere would allow Kristen full custody of Rachel. Brady admits that Kristen is right that Rachel is going to want to see her mom and he’s going to look like the bad guy if he tries to put distance between them. Marlena understands he’s in a tough place. Brady calls it so hard to talk to Rachel right now when she’s so stubborn and hard to reason with. Marlena points out that she is just a little girl. Brady says she wants her parents to be together and in love but that’s not going to happen. Brady knows that’s part of the reason he can’t reason with her but another reason is that she is just so Kristen’s daughter. Marlena calls that one of the reasons she’s worried about her, but she’s also worried about Brady because she knows how much he wants to make Rachel happy. Brady knows Marlena thinks he will get sucked back in by Kristen and get back with her to make Rachel happy, but he can’t do it. Brady knows he needs to keep Rachel away from Kristen just as much as himself. Brady declares that Hell will freeze over before he gets back with Kristen, swearing that it won’t happen and nothing will change his mind about that.

Xander and Chloe walk through the town square with coffees until they run in to Kristen. Xander is shocked to see her while Kristen questions him as a news reporter, asking how she knows about his living situation and he knows nothing about hers. Chloe responds that they don’t care about whatever she’s doing or whoever she’s torturing. Chloe adds that if Kristen wants Brady, he’s all hers. Kristen assures that he will be and says she hopes that Chloe and Xander are very happy together.

Chad tells Dimitri that he doesn’t have the DiMera jet at his disposal. Dimitri says he’ll even fly coach if he can spend the time getting to know his uncle. Dimitri asks Chad for any insights on how to be accepted in to the family. Chad talks about how they all sleep with one eye open around each other. Chad doesn’t care if they are related, he doesn’t want a relationship with Dimitri ever. Dimitri responds that whether he wants to or not, they are still family so there will be holidays, weddings, and funerals, so they are going to spend quite a bit of time together. Dimitri hugs Chad and tells him that there is no escaping that as he exits the room.

Shawn doesn’t get why Harris would go to Salem. Harris explains that he grew up there, so Salem is the closest thing he’s ever had to a home. Harris admits that he has an ulterior motive and says he wants to keep an eye on Megan Hathaway, because he feels it’s his responsibility after everything he did while she was pulling the strings. Shawn tells him that it really isn’t and that he was a victim too. Harris feels he owes it to Hope to make sure Megan doesn’t hurt her and Bo. Shawn remarks that Harris won’t be the most popular guy in town but notes that’s coming from the guy who put his own dad in a coma. Harris says no one blames him for that but Shawn points out that his grandfather does. Shawn tells Harris that there’s enough blame to go around and right now, his priority is to make sure Bo gets moved to his new location safely. Shawn thanks Harris for the intel. Harris guesses he will see him in Salem as he then exits.

Roman and Kate sit back down at the Pub. Kate has lost her appetite and says she just wants to get to the prison to see Lucas. Roman gets a text from Shawn that Harris told him that Megan has been released, so Hope is making plans to keep Bo off her radar. Kate wishes them luck and says who knows what Megan has in store for them now that she’s back in town.

Megan enters the DiMera Mansion and approaches the portrait of Stefano on the wall as she proclaims that she is home.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What is that God awful noise. Oh, sorry. Did I wait you, are you kidding? You could have woken the dead. What are you doing? What went to the hardware store and per your sage advice? I got some of those wall anchors you were talking about and now I am rehanging this picture. Sorry. What’d you think? Is this straight?

Hmm. It’s a little

Kristen. Well, hello Marna. Did you miss me?

Okay. So this is your first full day back in Salem, so whatever you want to do, we’re doing it. I can make you an appointment for a massage. We could take a walk in a park. Pink. I can chill. The choice is yours. God, it all sounds so lovely, but honestly I would really love it if you could drive me over to Statesville.

Okay. I know. I just, I need to see Lucas and he needs to see his mom see that I’m alive and well and. Roman, I really wanna know how he’s doing. Yeah, no, I get that. That will be a big relief for Lucas. And a thrill. Well, I don’t know how thrilling it could be considering the situation he’s in. And also, I wanna pay a visit that.

Bitch Megan in Hathaway, and give her a little peace of my mind. Oh, it looks like I’ve saved you the trip.

All right, take a closer nap. Well relax, cowboy. I’m not gonna lay a finger on your wife. She’s of no use to me. Now, besides, I wouldn’t wanna do anything to jeopardize my newfound freedom. How the hell are you free? How did you get outta prison?

Well, I, I decided not to go back with Roman and Kate because I, I just, I need to see this thing through.

Well, I have my doubts about Dimitri’s story that he’s holding Andrew Hostage, and I think that he’s, he’s trying to use it for leverage. You know, it was a bargaining chip for Unity.

Well, I don’t know, after what he did to Kate, I need to make sure that his frog marched back to that Amania prison where he belongs.

Hey, Steph. Uh, I think, uh, my room service is here. Yeah, I ordered, uh, ordered lunch a little while ago. Yeah, I’ll call you tonight. I miss you too. Okay. One sec.

Deit. Just gonna feel like I’m gonna jump outta my skin bound, sitting around just waiting to see if my dad’s gonna twitch an eyelid or, or move a finger or something. I just. No, I would give anything to be able to turn back time and make it so I didn’t pull that trigger. Let me call you back, okay?

Michaels, what the hell you doing here? I need to see your mother.

Like Sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Paper, thin walls. I don’t think it’s the wall’s fault. Look, I’ve just never been into putting up do dances on my own walls. You know, do dances. Isn’t that what your Americans say? Look, if you think you can do a better job, be my guess. Hand me the drill. Thank you. Do you have a stud finder? Excuse me. Have her mind.

You’re not getting anywhere near my mother. She made it very clear that she doesn’t want anything to do with you. I bet you understand. Okay. I’m not here because I want hope back. I’m here to warn her. Actually, I’m here to warn all of you. Warn us about what,

I don’t know how you got out of Statesville this time, but I’m calling 9 1 1 and having you dragged back. Ah. Do you really think that I’d come knocking at your door in my city’s if I had broken outta prison? What do you say? You got another pardon? Well, actually I, um, I got granted full immunity, courtesy of my newfound sister, Megan, Megan.

She doesn’t even know you. Why would she help you? Because family is the gift that keeps on giving. Oh, Megan and I met and bonded in Statesville two long lost sisters reunited at last. And, uh, here are my papers to prove it. Read ’em and

I must say, I do miss the fish market. It was so quaint. Hey, I don’t suppose I could still buy some live lobster. Go to hell, Kate. I did save your life. You could at least show nominal gratitude. How did you get immunity anyway after what you did to me and to Marlay and Tela, Dimitri Van Leitner?

May I, I wanted to share the good news in person. I’ve been free, so I see. So you kidnap Andrew Donovan, and you are, uh, rewarded with immunity so much for justice, huh? Well, I understand your disappointment misplaced as it might be because I know that you think of Caden’s family and you want to see me pay for what happened to her.

I did. I do. And I will make you pay. Noted, but I would urge you to reconsider where your loyalties lie for one, Kate is happily reunited with her husband in Salem. So no harm done. No harm done. You put her through hell, you son of a bitch. Okay, well, I will amend that to no lasting harm. But seriously, Chad, I mean this, uh, this outrage on Kate’s behalf.

It’s a little over the top, don’t you think? I mean, she’s, she’s not even a true family member. She’s not blood relations. I mean, not like, well, I am. Huh? You, we we’re not related. Oh, yes. You see, we are, you’re, uh, your sister Megan. She’s my, uh,

My mom, you’re the hi.

Okay, so what should I call you Uncle Chad? No, no. You shouldn’t call me. Um, no. Uh, I don’t like you. We’re not related. I want you to leave, leave. So this news is of no interest to you. Nope. Now, I understand that you only know my mother through reputation, but please try to have an open mind. I assure you she’s a fascinating woman.

She is smart, she is brave. I’ve, I’ve heard how, uh, smart and brave she is. Um, I’ve also heard that she’s a crazy bitch with the heart of stone, who, uh, who belongs in either, uh, a straight jacket or in prison. And, and in fact, since she is in prison, I won’t have to get to know her, uh, for a very long time.

Thank God, uh, about that. Um, she’s been sprung from prison. That is as has Auntie Kristen, who you mean you. Yeah. We got a very good deal for the three of us, although it did get a little risky adding Kristen to the mix. Then why would you do it? Why would you risk your deal for, for somebody like Kristen?

My, my mine? Not a very nice way to talk about your own sister. Who I happen to think’s a lovely woman. Talk about smart and brave shut. Oh, you don’t even know Kristen. You, the, the only thing you know about her is your fight with a, with a manie peacock. Yeah. Actually I do know her relatively well. That is, you see, my mother befriended her in Statesville.

I had the means to help and so I did. And now the two of us can head back to Salem and we can all be one big happy family. What do you say? Well, I must say you are looking rather refreshed considering you were re. Leah Garner. Oh, did Megan give you a dose of her fountain of use serum that she was telling me about?

Uh, maybe it’s just Botox.

What do you want? What do I want? Well, I came to tell Grandma Marmar that she was no longer the chief. Maternal figure in my daughter’s life. You see, mommy’s home to stay. This is not your home. Yes, but it is Rachel’s Brady. Surprise

there, huh? Alright, I, I can take it from here now that I’ve done all the work, well, not quite all. See that’s perfect. According to the king of due deaths, what are you doing? I’m gonna hang this other picture. You can clean up. I know. I mean now that you show me the correct technique, I’ll finish up and you can just clean.

Why? Because I’m supposed to stick to the woman’s work. No, that’s not, that’s not what I meant. I mean, it’s, all I meant was, you know, you are a better, cleaner upper than I am, so, That might be even worse. You, you know what? Just forget it. I will clean up. I a better cleaner uper than you are after spending years in foster care and then living in an orphanage, I learned very quickly how to make places sp and span.

So honestly, I guess I just have a little bit of p t s when it comes to cleaning. Oh, well, you know, after my stint schlepping manure for my uncle, I can, I can totally relate to that. But look, forget about it. I’ll just clean up after I finish hanging everything. No, it, it’s okay. I’ll do it. I promise to do the housework until I found gainful employment.

So just let me do it. And for the record, I don’t usually lounge around all morning in my pajamas.

Xander, I I’m sure you thought I would have a job by now and be able to pay my own way. I, I mean, I certainly did, and I don’t think it’s fair that you pay the rent all on your own. So I’m, I’m just starting to think that maybe this was a mistake, me moving in here with you.

Brady, I’m, I’m sorry I didn’t have time to warn you, but apparently Kristen was able to cut a deal. Yeah, I, I heard on the news, I figured she’d be here. Wow. And you came looking for me. How sweet. I came here to Warren, Marlene, and my father that you’d be coming. I guess you’d beat me to the punch, didn’t you?

Well, I was eager to see my daughter. Well, your daughters in pe, which you would be aware of. If you had any involvement in the day-to-day life of your daughter? I don’t know. It’s been what? Maybe a, a couple months, maybe a year since you had Oh, and, and, and, and whose fault is that? Okay. Okay. That’s enough.

You do, look, Kristen came to see her daughter. She’s not here. So you’re welcome to go now. I’m not leaving until I know when I get to see my daughter. Damnit Brady, we had a deal. You, you told me to write that letter urging Rachel to give Chloe a chance and I did. As much as it did it, it made my skin crawl.

I wrote that. I know you wrote the letter, Kristin. The problem was your daughter didn’t believe a word of it because you’ve been poisoning her mind with lies about Chloe for months now get the word lies. Oh my God. Oh, case in point, I knew that Chloe was going to leave you for the next red blooded male who came along and look what happened.

She’s already moved in with Xander. Oh, how’d you find out about that? Rachel wrote me a letter. She wrote you a letter about Chloe’s love life. Oh, all sorts of Salem happenings. I think her and Sandra make a great couple, don’t you? I mean, they both have no substance, no morals, and are utterly detestable to boot.

I don’t think you’re in a position to lecture anybody about morals. Says the woman who has been possessed by the devil twice. Xander and Chloe are not together. Kristen, they are roommates. Okay. Oh, just roommates. Mm-hmm. And how long do you think that’s gonna last? Xandra will get any woman he knows into bed sooner or later, usually sooner.

Even the ones that claim they hate him

wrong. Chloe, is it the apartment a decor or is it the roommate you’ve gone off of? No, it’s not any of those things. It’s me. It’s not the apartment, it’s me. That’s anyone. No, what I’m saying is I guess I just wasn’t being very realistic about my prospects on the labor market. Look, it’s just, I guess there are plenty of jobs out there.

You wanna flip burgers or drive a ride share, but it turns out there’s not a lot of job opportunities for opera singers in Salem. No surprise or fashion merchandisers for that fact outside of Dara C Couldn’t you like give voice lessons? Voice lessons here with the paper thin walls, like you said? Look, I guess I just, I had this idea that I was gonna reinvent myself and try something new, but no one’s interested in what I have to offer.

I find that very hard to believe. Chloe. Look, I guess I also kind of leapt into this living situation, partly because I wanted to piss off Brady. Yeah, it worked, didn’t it? Yeah, it did, but it, it wasn’t as satisfying as I thought it would be. I mean, here we are. He and I are, are still apart, and. And you’re still in love with him.

I just, I feel like I’m at loose ass. Well, that’s exactly why you shouldn’t make any big decisions right now in moving. That’s one of the major life decisions, Chloe. Not to mention that, I’ll be really sad if you move out. I mean, let’s just about to hang a another wall anchor there so I can put the, the dart board on that wall.

What dart board, the one I picked up this morning. If you move out where I’m gonna find another roommate that has your killer dart instinct, come on, stick around a bit longer, please. We’ll split the cleaning even though you are better at it than me and I’ll, I’ll give you space. I won’t bother you. Lucas.

Have fun. We can play darts and. I don’t know, do puzzles. I just bought a 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle that I will definitely need your help finishing, so, okay. Okay. I will give our living arrangement a little bit more time.

Ah, with that being said, I am gonna go get dressed and go pound the pavement. Oh, I just had a. I dunno, I didn’t think of this sooner. I mean, I, I guess I thought maybe it isn’t the kind of thing that you’re into or you haven’t really done it before and it doesn’t pay great. Plus, you’ve never really been my biggest fan, have you?

Although you have learned to tolerate me a bit more recently, but still in all, still in all. Would you like to come work for me, Chloe?

So you are deit two’s mother. Well, that really makes sense. Same shifty eyes, same cold heart. You’re so ungrateful. Dimitri pulled you dripping from the sea. He saved your life just as much as I did, and you haven’t bothered to thank him either. He pulled me from the sea on your order so you could torture me.

Well, I could have told him to let you drown, but instead you were treated like royalty in the end. In the end, after I cut the heads off a thousand fish. Okay, wait a minute. So this was all planned, Megan. I thought you believed that Kate was really dead. Well, I did it first, but then I figured out what must have happened and I acted accordingly.

I’m always one step ahead of you, Roman. You should know that by now. Really? Okay, so how do you know so much about what happened on that boat you were in Statesville. My son adores me, so of course he tells me everything. Now you have one of those mama’s boys as well, don’t you, Kate? Poor Lucas. It must be so hard on you that he’s behind bars.

Keep my son’s name out of your mouth fine. I’ll just keep talking about how grateful I am that my precious Dimitri is free as a bird. Megan, if you’re just here to glow time’s up. I’m not just here to gloat Chris. Oh, that’s strange. For some reason I keep wanting to call you that. I don’t know why. No, Roman.

I am not here to gloat. In fact, I have pressing business with you.

So you’re telling me that Megan Hathaway is Dimitri Ventilation’s mother. Yeah. Now Dimitri refused to accept the immunity deal unless we included Megan and Kristen. Oh God. But Kristen’s out too, and I wanted you in hope to be the first to know, because knowing Megan, she’s gonna have her sights on your father.

Could you just, could you ask your mom if I could just talk to her for one minute and listen, Sean, from here on out, I’m gonna do whatever it takes to protect your parents, keep them safe. Look, no offense, but I think you’ve done enough. I’ll take.

One big happy family. Yeah. One big happy family. That’s insane. It’s all insane. Wilson. Wow. Compared to the Von Leischner, the mayor seem like a, a pretty merry bunch. Yeah. Yeah. That’s what they say. The more deras the merrier. I’ll DJ Throwy and Stephan, they’re all gonna feel exactly the same way. Boy, I hope so.

Yeah. So then, um, you and your mom, and. Kristen, you’re all gonna, you’re all gonna move into the Dememer mansion. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, that’s a good thing. I moved out when I did then. Now is that the, the right attitude to have? Okay. Look, I think that maybe we got off on the wrong foot, uncle Chad, but I suspect that you and I have a lot more in common than you think, especially because we both grew up outside of the family.

So what do you say? You call up the Damer Chen and you and I can get to know each other on the ride home.

Look, if you just, uh, here to make more threats, there’s a door. Okay. You can get it out. Alright. I can call the police and they can come and haul you out for trespassing. Hmm. Funny, you used to be one of those cops that you’re now threatening to call. But instead you’re slinging hash how the mighty have fallen.

Oh, what do you want, Megan? You already said that I, I’m no longer any use to you. What do I always want? My little brother, Kristin got a letter from Rachel in prison. In it she wrote that Beau was shot by his idiot’s son, and he’s now in a coma. How is he? His condition is unchanged, but don’t blame Sean about that.

All right. If anybody’s the blame, it’s you. Of course it is, because if it weren’t for me, Bo wouldn’t even be alive. If it weren’t for you, Bo would’ve been here with his family for months. But no, you had to keep trying to make him love you and damn Megan, what an epic fail that was cuz just a little time with hope and no love, which just as strong as ever before her son put him in a coma, poses a fighter.

He’ll make it through this. Of course he will. And when he wakes up, his heart will belong to Hope and Only Hope. Well then I’ll just have to fly to Greece and make sure that doesn’t happen.

You still here? Huh? I told my mom what you said. Fortunately, we’re already in the process of my father to a long-term care facility where he can continue his recovery. It seems like progress is a little slow. Yeah, well, we were trying to move him to Montreal so he could be near my mom’s home, but obviously that’s the first place that Megan’s gonna look.

So we need to find someplace else, someplace that’s secure, someplace where nobody’s gonna be able to track him down. You know, like know Megan or, or Dimitri or Wolf, a roof, or even you

work for you. Are you serious? Of course I am. Have you forgotten us? I’m co-owner at The Spectator now. I mean, you don’t have to go on step back so that Gwen could run the day-to-day operations, but I have an ownership stake with the power to fire and hire. Okay. Well, I’m not qualified to do anything at the newspaper.

As long as you could do for us, we could use you in advertising, in marketing. You’d be an amazing arts editor. You’re already a, an expert in in music and fashion. You’d be perfect. Oh, okay. Slow down. You don’t know that I can do any of those things and you don’t even know if I can write. Of course I do. I saw the letter that you wrote to Landlord about the rent increase and it was masterful and effective.

So that hardly qualifies me to write for the Spectator. If Leo Stark can do it, why can’t you or anyone else for that matter. Good point. But uh, should I accept, which you absolutely should. For us living and working together. Isn’t that a bit much? Oh, well, no. I mean, we can handle it, right? It’s not like we’re sleeping together.

Did Xander sleep with you? When he was working for you? I don’t think so. So why don’t you just shut your mouth about the subject. Okay. Oh, I’m sorry, Brady. I know this must be painful for you. Of course you do. That’s why you said it. I said it because you need a dose of reality. You and Chloe have been on again, off again for what, 20 years?

And it never lasts. It never will. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s kinda like the toxic relationship that I’ve been in with you in and out and in and out. But you know, fortunately it’s been more out than in, you know, it’s actually, it’s been a nightmare. If you want to really think about Chris, please, please.

That is not true. We have had some good times, Brady, and unlike Chloe, you and I share a daughter. We do share a daughter, and sometimes I wish we didn’t. And sometimes I wish that you would just say the hell out of my daughter’s life. Your daughter. Your daughter. How dare you call her your daughter. She is as much mind as she is yours.

And that’s a shame. It is a shame because that little girl has no idea how bad you are for her, how bad you are for all of us. If you think you’re gonna stay here and put Marlena through hell again, think again. It’s not gonna happen. She’s not gonna put up with your crap anymore. Wow. You’re blaming this all on Marlena.

To get me out. I mean, what I’m guessing you can’t do it yourself, can you? And guess what, Brady, that is why I know you’re gonna come around again, because you always do.

You, uh, Mr. Scott, be my guest. Ugh, you know what? I might just go ahead and, uh, get as a housekeeper pronto rather than do a crappy job. Well before you do that, uh, I have, I have a question for you about the job at The Spectator, and it’s kind of a personal one. Okay. Well, I was wondering if Gwen is running the day-to-day operations, doesn’t she get a say on new hires?

I mean, I’m sure she’s not happy that we’re living together and. She probably hates me. I’ll handle Gwen. Well, what if you can’t handle her? I just left a really toxic work environment and I can’t deal with anything like that Again. She won’t be a problem, I promise. All you have to focus on is all the lovely dinners and concerts that you’re gonna be enjoying at the spectators expense.

I mean, You’ll be able to make your own hours 99% of the time and work from home and be your own boss. Wow, that sounds too good to be true. Let me prove to you that it isn’t right. You go get changed. I’ll hang the rest of these up and then I’ll give you a tour around the office. What’d you say? Okay,

sureand. Thank you.

You kidding me? You don’t think I have it in me to kick your ass outta here. Tell you what. I’ll do that and then I’ll ring your neck as an Encore Brady. You can’t keep me away from my daughter. See, that’s where you’re wrong. See, I have full custody, don’t I? My little girl took a ride share all by herself to come visit me in Statesville.

What do you think she’s gonna do when she finds out I’m back in Salem? You can’t keep us apart, Brady. She’s gonna hate you just as much as she hates me. No, not if I make her understand that her mother is a mentally disturbed, destructive person who needs therapy and just refuses to get it. Damn you, Brady.

I don’t want you near her. You may be her biological mother, but you forfeited all of your parental rights when you became this evil conniving person. You know what? I’d be considered an abusive father if I let her around you for a minute right now, and I will see you back in court to revisit our custody arrangement.

And in the meantime, Brady go to hell.

Megan, believe me, you do not wanna go near my brother. I suppose there’s no reason for me to rush. Rachel’s letter made it clear that Beau is being quite unresponsive. I’ll just delay my trip to Greece until he’s close to waking up. There’s a lot here for me to accomplish. In the meantime, destroying more lives.

My family’s here, and not only will I want to get to know them better, but I’ll be claiming my rightful place a Amira.

I get it. You don’t trust me and I don’t blame you. Well, I’m glad you understand. Now we’re done. Here we are. But I thought I should. Give you a heads up. When I leave Greece, I’ll be flying home to Salem.

Damn it. Why is this happening again,

Brady, I’m so sorry. No, you don’t. Don’t be sorry. I’m sorry. Everything she’s putting you through we’re just fine. It’s you and your daughter that are suffering. If it’s any consolation, there was not a judge anywhere who would allow Kristen full custody of that girl. I hope not. Still still what? Marna, she’s right.

Kristen’s right. Our, our little girl’s gonna want to see her mom, and I’m gonna end up looking like the bad guy if I try to put any kind of reasonable distance between the two of them. You’re in a tough place and it’s, and it’s so hard to talk to Rachel right now. She’s so stubborn. I mean, she’s really hard to reason with.

I wish she is just a little girl. Yeah. She’s just a little girl. She’s just a little girl that wants a normal family, that she wants her parents to be together. She wants her parents to be in love and it’s not gonna happen. And it’s really, really sad. And I know. I know. I know. That’s part of the reason why I can’t reason with her right now.

But I think another big reason is that she is, Just her mother’s daughter. She’s just so, Kristen,

one of the reasons I worried about her, but I’m also worried about you. Me. Why are you worried about me? Because I know how much you love your daughter. And I know how much you wanna make her happy. No, no. I, I know you’re going with this. You think I’m gonna get sucked back into Kristen and I would get back together with her just to make Rachel happy.

No, can’t do it. I, I look. It’s as heartbreaking as it is for Rachel. I know that I need to keep her away from Kristen just as much as I need to keep myself away from Kristen, okay? Hell is gonna freeze over before I get back together with Kristen Damara on my life, on, on my daughter’s life. It’s not gonna happen.

I’m not gonna change my mind about that.

What the hell? Some newspaper reporter you wore. Zander. All right. How is it that I know about your living situation and you know nothing about mine? Kristen, whatever you’re doing these days and whoever you’re torturing, we don’t care. And if you want Brady, he’s all yours. Oh, he will be. And Chloe, I really hope that you and Sandra are very happy together.

And I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

I don’t have the demer yet at my disposal. Sorry. Oh. Uh, that’s not a problem. Yeah, I, I would, I’ll even fly coach if I could spend that time getting to know my uncle and, um, I would, I would really appreciate if, uh, if you could gimme any insights on how to be accepted into the, to the bosom of the family.

Uh, look. N um, none of us grew up in the, in the bosom of the family. It’s a really creepy, creepy word. Um, in fact, you know, we all sleep with one eye open when we’re around each other. Most of the time it’ll be both eyes with you weirdo around. So, like I said, you know, I don’t care if we’re related. I don’t want a relationship with you ever.

Well, okay. Well, whether you want to or not, we are still family, so there will be holidays and uh, weddings and funerals. So we’re gonna be spending quite a bit of time together.

Yeah.

And, um, there’s no escaping that Uncle Chad.

I don’t get it. Why would you go to Salem? I, I grew up there, you know, after joining the Navy, I just never really felt settled and Salem is the closest thing I’ve ever had to a real home. Okay. And I’m sure you’re thinking that I have an ulterior motive. I admit I do. I wanna keep my eye on Megan Hathaway.

I feel it’s my responsibility after everything I did when she was pulling the strings. Yeah, but it really isn’t though. I mean, you were a victim too. Yeah, but I owe it to your mom. Okay. So your mom can move bow to a secure facility and I’m gonna make sure that Megan does not hurt them. Yeah, well, I doubt you’re gonna be the most popular guy in town.

Says the guy who put his dad in a coma. No one blames you for that, my grandfather does. But look, you know what? There’s enough blame to pass around in this whole mess. Right now my top priority is to make sure that my dad gets moved to his new location safely. So again, Thank you. Thank you for the intel.

No problem. Uh, guess I’ll see you in Salem.

Your eggs are cold. I can warm them up. No, that’s okay. I’ve lost my appetite. I think I just wanna get over to Statesville to see Lucas.

This is from Shine. Michaels told him that, uh, Megan had been released, so Hope is making plans to keep Bo off her radar. Well, good luck to them. Good luck to all of us Now that Megan’s back in town who knows what she has in store for us.

Hi daddy.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I miss you so much, mommy. I’m praying that you can come home soon. I love you, Rachel. I love you too, sweetheart. Another miss from your daughter? No, no. It’s the same one that you delivered. I am just gonna keep reading it over and over until I hold my daughter in my arms again. Oh, Kristen, I do understand being separated from one’s child is very difficult on a mother.

In fact, I do hope to be hearing from my child’s son. Right. Your son, my nephew, Dimitri. He is such a wonderful young man. Yeah. Well, you still haven’t explained how your wonderful young man is going to get us outta here when he is locked up in an ala Manian prison. No. Dimitri is not still in Amania. He’s currently in police custody, which is only temporary.

Mm. Is his magic peacock going to set him free? My darling, Dimitri has no need of magic. He’s brilliant, he’s charming, and he’s incredibly persuasive, much like his grandfather. In fact, he’s negotiating our release as we speak.

Well, what do you want? We need to have a chat, Dimitri. Huh? I have nothing to say to either one of you. I have agreed to remain in the custody of the Greek police follow await word that the ISA have conceded to my demands. So, Off you go. A man of your integrity may not be aware of this, but the police around here have been known to take a bribe.

Yeah. And I just gave the officer in charge a little incentive to take a walk so we can have some privacy. We missed your day bag. We hardly got enough time to spend with you back on your boat, and we have so much to catch up on.

So why don’t you kick things off

by telling us where Andrew Donovan is.

Hey. Good to see you, Ken. Me too.

What are you, uh, what are you doing here? Well, I know that you were worried about Andrew. I thought I’d just, uh, come on out. Yeah. Well, you wouldn’t have flown halfway across the country if you didn’t have something to tell me. Something you didn’t wanna say over the phone.

Angie’s in trouble. You got that right kid. Andrew’s been kidnapped.

What’s what’s.

How are you? Where am I? You don’t remember how you got here, do you?

I need your help. Turns out Kay Roberts is alive and we need to find her. Okay. Well, but why would you ask me for help? Hmm. For starters, you are a highly decorated Navy seal. Yeah. Who’s done irreparable damage to your family? So again, why would you want my help? How would you like a shot of redemption?

Yeah, yeah. I’ll take it. I’ll do whatever I can to make up for what I did to hope in your family. Yes.

Good evening.

This is Donovan Isa. Agent Andrew Donovan, who wants to know. The person who has Paul Nita tied to a chair with a knife to his throat, and in case that mental image isn’t clear enough, I’ll send you a picture as soon as we hang up, you have my attention. Good, good. Well, if you ever wanna see your handsome boyfriend again, you’ll tell no one about this call.

You’ll go immediately to the nearest airport and await my instructions.

Is there a problem? Oh, uh, just another case I have to deal with. Um, unfortunately I can’t wait. I wanted to smooth things over with Chad and my uncle Steve. Let them know you’re on that team. Yeah, I, I can handle and do what you gotta do. Thanks, commander. I’ll check in on the search, see how you guys are doing.

Good luck. Yeah, you too. But we both know luck has nothing to do with it.

Paul. Paul. Paul. Oh my God,

these pictures of Paul were fake. Yeah.

He tracked his phone just as we knew you would. You got your fast agent. Donovan must really like this Paul fellow a lot. Sorry to say you’ve been here for a while. Slide suggests you have a seat.

Yes, I remember exactly how I got here.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

So Dimitri got someone to keep his prison bunk warm while he was out living his best life. I did that once myself, but unfortunately my doppelganger is no longer available. The idiots who run this place probably wouldn’t notice if I tucked a mop under my blanket and ducked outta here, but, To pull off a swap in a maximum security amania prison is nearly impossible.

And yet my Dimitri managed it with ease. Hmm. Did he, Megan? What’s that first mean? Well, I take great pride in knowing everything about the DIR family and, uh, I never once heard that you have a son, nor did you know I was alive. You doubted me. Oh, no, I was just wondering, um, if this is some sort of a ploy, really.

Mm-hmm. To what end? Dimitri Vo Leischner is my flesh and blood. That is a fact. I gave birth to him. I nurtured him, and I raised him to be the magnificent young man that he is.

If you gentlemen are trying to intimidate me, I say it’s working. If either of you so much has laid a finger on me, Andrew Donovan will pay a very steep price and I don’t think his daddy would be too happy about that. You really want to go up against the director of the isa, it’s not gonna end well for you, Dimitri.

So one more time. Where’s Andrew? Donovan? So one more time. You will have that information. Once my demands have been met and the clock is ticking, always Megan Hathaway’s gonna call me here on my phone within the hour and if I cannot tell her that I’ve gotten what I have asked for. No. You want immunity for yourself?

We get that? Yeah. Why do you also want immunity for Megan? Oh, I know she’s not your favorite person. She’s a sadistic freak who brainwashed both of us Be that as it may for some reason I have a soft spot for the woman. Say, what’s going on here? She messed with your head too? No. Oh no. No. She hasn’t brainwashed me.

Uh, I didn’t need to be brainwashed to wanna help Megan. What? Is she your girlfriend or something?

Oh, hardly no, no, no, no, no. You see Megan Hathaway, she’s my mother.

I know you’re not very comfortable, but don’t worry. As soon as our boss gets what he wants, we’ll let you go. Who’s your boss? I’ll be back with your dinner soon. You sit here like a good little boy.

That’s not,

are you sure this photo isn’t, isn’t a fake. His best lab tech authenticated it. I mean, I was worried when, I hadn’t heard from from Andrew in a while when no one had heard from him. I mean, obviously I was concerned, but, but now I, I never thought that, of course not. Why would you? And you reached out to his father?

Yeah, I talked to Shane. He’s, um, Let’s do an million can to get his son back and he’s doing everything right. So where do we start, John? Is it true that you and Paul.

Oh no. Oh, so glad to see you. You too marlen. Gosh. Oh my gosh. Is it true? Is it true that Kate’s, all right, well, why don’t you see for yourself?

Well, not too bad for someone who’s been doing nothing but dodging death, right?

Oh,

Okay. I’m glad you’re alive. Oh my God. I, I’m just glad we’re all Okay. Well, I wish I could say that about AIDS though. Yeah, we just came to the hospital. Uh, he’s stable, but not out of the woods yet. Yes, I, I spoke to Kayla. Have you been able to see him yet? Pauline is the only one allowed in for now. Yeah, I just can’t believe it.

I mean, what happened? A mad man attacked him in the, in the bakery On the square or what? Yeah, he’s been arrested and he’ll pay. But right now my only concern is that eight pulls through. Well, your friend is a fighter and when he sees you, he’s going to be so thrilled. Same as I am. When Kayla and I heard that gunshot.

Yeah. Well thank God my brothers didn’t go through with it. Yeah. When Bo told me to run, I mean I grabbed that little boat and I couldn’t wait to get off that God forsaken island. Then I was taken against my will and on another boat. Yeah. Chad Steven Harris. Michael’s rescuer from Dimitri. Mm-hmm. Can you believe that creep had me cutting the heads off Fish.

Talk about Deja Lou. Well, you’re not the only one. He took hostage. What do you mean? He has Andrew Donovan. What? That’s terrible. Yeah. Well, I think I’ll be okay because John, he’s on the case. Okay, come on there. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow it down, kid. Like I said, the ISA is all over. In fact, the person who took Andrew has already made contact with Shane.

Who is it? Dimitri Van Luner. What? I, I, I thought that guy was in prison for trying to decimate the plaintiff. Yeah, he was, but he escaped, but that was short lived. Now he’s in police custody in Greece, so they caught him. Steve Chad Harris tracked him down to a bill in the agency and they brought him in.

Now, in exchange for safe release of Andrew, he is demanding blanket immunity, not only for himself, but for one of the, Person who? His mother, Megan Hathaway.

So the way I heard it, you have been obsessed with Boe Brady since high school. I don’t like that word. Okay, fine, fine, fine. You only had eyes for you and that hasn’t changed. My heart will always belong to bald. Oh, you offered your other body of parts to someone else and had a kid. Don’t be crude. After my death, I was put into a cryogenic sleep.

Several years later, my father had me thawed out. Ah, I saw the mayor of him. I immediately wanted to return to Salem and fight for Beau, but Stefano felt that that would be unwise. So you took up needle point. Instead, my father wanted me to lie low for a while and spend some time in Europe, which I did, and that’s why I at Dmitri’s father, obviously you two it it off.

I wanted a child and I got one. Naturally, I turned my focus to raising little Dmitri, but after a few years, his father decided that my influence of little Dmitri was perhaps a bit too psychotic. Absolute.

Of course I was at a nonsense, but nevertheless, my boy was sent away to a boarding school. Fortunately, that didn’t prevent us from staying close. You know what they say? A boy’s best friend is his mother. Hello. My mother and I haven’t always been in physical proximity. We remain deeply bonded to this day.

Are you buying this that Megan’s his mother? No, actually I am. I mean, look at him. He’s a demer. Through and through. Ruthless, soulless. Oh. UPS can insult my lineage all you want, but it’s Director Donovan Spawn whose head is on the chopping block. So are you two gonna do whatever it is you need to do to set me and my mother free or are you gonna let poor little Anne for.

Yes. I’ll have to fetch another pale of water to wake you back up.

Looking for this.

I was never in love with Dimitri’s father. It was a beautiful arrangement. He was a means to an end, whereas Bo is everything to me now. Bow is in a coma, so maybe you should just move it on. Never. I have waited this long. I will wait forever if I have to. What’s your plan when you get out? Are you just gonna sit visual by Bo’s bedside, change his bed pan?

No, I will allow hope, the privilege of that. I’ll monitor his condition closely so that I can be there when he wake up, so you’re not going straight back to Greece. As I’ve said, as soon as it looks as if BOE will wake up, I will be there in flash in the meantime. I have my own destiny to fulfill, and the next phase involves a long overdue return to Salem.

That is the one thing that we have in common. Similar destinies to fulfill show. Let me remind you of your promise. You said that, uh, when you got released that. You are going to take me with you. That’s still happening, right?

Yeah. I don’t know how you did it, Shane. You got multiple countries to drop all the charges and grant immunity to Megan Hathaway and her degenerate son. You must have called in every favor you were owed. Oh man. I would’ve done the same for Trip or Joe. All right. I’ll get these guys to release Dimitri and then, uh, Make sure someone with a proper authority calls Statesville and gets Megan released, and then you, my friend, will have your son back.

Shane must be Lord sick. I hope Andrew was okay. He will be the IA like that. Don’t make sure of it. Well, I have to say being a guest of Dmitri is not a picnic. Yes, I remember. That’s right. You were held by gunpoint, by him, weren’t you? I mean, that was at what, the Hian Museum, right? Yes. It was that whole peacock business.

John dragged him to safety and, and then he and Sebastian took the pastor down. Okay. You just hang in there, brother. This will be over soon. Yeah.

Steve Johnson. Yeah. Who are you? Well, Sebastian a name’s familiar, something I can help you with. I’ve just been informed that Dimitri Von Ner is going to be released any minute now. I’m terribly sorry to burst your bubble here, chap. But, uh, Mr. Donner is coming with me. What are you talking about? I’m here to take that scandal back to Amania where he will rot in prison for the rest of his miserable life.

You don’t really think you’re getting outta here, do you? I’m certain of it, and I look forward to all the future holds for me.

Can you say the same? Excuse me. Well, we’ve already discussed how your, your gallon rescue of Kate Roberts was, but a desperate attempt at redemption. And I think we both know that well, you’re not one of the good guys, right? I mean, not anymore. How about you shut your mouth? All I’m saying is that a hero, like you deserves the utmost respect.

And I see the way that Steve Johnson, the people of his camp, betrays you. And it is not with respect. They don’t respect you. They don’t, they don’t trust you. And they certainly don’t accept you, and that must be so hard to face that, that you will never be good enough for the John Blacks or the hope Bradys of this world that I’m not like them.

I’m different commander. I, I have a, a deep appreciation for your vast array of skills, as does my mother. And as soon as we’re free from here, we’re gonna need a man just like you. So when you say, what do you say to you, you tell Steve and Company that they can shove their judgment and you come work for us.

Are you seriously trying to lu me to the dark side? Ah, between light and dark. There are many, many shades of gray. A shot of land, if you will, and that is where we’ll do our work. Maybe you will, but not me.

I heard many reports that Boe Brady was headed there at lightning speed before he got shot. Apparently, he was very determined to shed his old, I thought, told you to shut up. BOE Brady spent a lifetime, a lifetime playing the part of a very certain type of man, a good guy as it were. But apparently along with this awakening came the realization that if he ever wanted to become truly realized to, uh, to thrive as he was always meant to and become his, his truest self, he would have to discard of his old identity, the one that no longer served him or fulfilled him in any way, and an adventure into the shadows.

And he did Bo. Bo did that without fear, Bo embraced it. Now, if he can do it, tell me why can’t you?

So you want me to come work for you and mommy dearest?

You’ll have to brainwash me again.

Well, I will certainly take it under advice.

As soon as I heard the Greek police had that re in custody, I came to personally seat to his extradition. As you might imagine, his escape from Hall Romania’s most secure facility was quite an embarrassment. Yeah, but listen, this is an order from the highest court in Greece. It affirms our country’s right to have Vaughn Luner remanded to our custody.

Believe me, I understand why you want Dimitri to pay for what he did. He and his Nutjob mother tried to use me and my best friend to take over the world. The man is a no good son of a bitch. Not that I concur, but here’s the deal. If you take Dimitri back to Amania and lock him up, a good man will lose his life.

The Andrews life is on the line, and we’re supposed to just sit around here and wait. Yep. And I thought it might be a little easier to do just that with a little company. You know, I appreciate you being here, dad. It’s just seeing that picture. My head is going inside darkness. I, I hear you. But you gotta remember, Andrew is well trained specifically for something just like this.

Exactly. So how does something like this happen?

Did, did Shane give you any other details? Apparently Andrew was in Greece, helping Chad and Steve find Kate Roberts Will’s grandmother. I thought she was dead. Yeah. Well, you and everybody else turns out we were wrong. Initially, we thought she was lost in sea. Andrew wanted to recruit Harris to help with the search.

He’s in the middle of that conversation with Harris and he gets his phone call. He tells Michaels another mission. This one’s urgent. I gotta go. So he takes off, he leaves Greece, falls right off the crit. So whoever made that call alert Andrew to a trap. Andrew’s a smart guy. They couldn’t pull him easily, so whatever they used to pull him off that search had to be damn significant.

What if they used me? Why would you say that? My phone, it was stolen outta my locker last week at the gym. Now I replaced it, but what if during that time Andrew tried to reach out to me? Why didn’t they call the phone? It was stolen. Yeah, and then they answered and they told Andrew that I needed help or, or that I was in some sort of trouble, or they called Andrew and that was urgent call that he received when he was talking to Michaels.

I mean, either way. Damnit dad if he got hurt or worse because he was trying to help me. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. We’re gonna find him. We’re gonna find him. We’re gonna get him back. Kid

time tight this time. Double check it.

I assume whatever deal Demetri is making right now that. That I’m included, you’re my sister, you know, I wanna help you. Mm-hmm. You will help me. Yeah. You said last night that I would have my freedom once things got sorted out and organized. And it sounds, uh, like everything is in order now. Yes. But you have to understand this is an incredibly delicate.

Negotiation. Dimitri is trying to negotiate the release of two extremely high profile prisoners. Adding a third into the mix now could upend everything. So if the ISA is considering giving you two blanket immunity after everything you’ve done, oh well, you must have something huge to offer them. That’s true, but you can only push so far before they’re gonna walk away.

Yeah. See, that is not my problem.

I get my mouse shut about Bob being alive and in exchange you promised. You promised that once you got out that you two take me with you and I haven’t forgotten that. Well, maybe you did forget. The only reason that I am in this hell hold is that I was held responsible for the deaths of Marlena. Kayla and Kate, despite my sincere effort to return that orchid that could cure them, and if you hadn’t ordered bow to take that stupid flower from the mansion, I would be off the hook.

So actually, Megan, this is all your damn fault that I am here in the first place.

Oh God, Wilson.

I consider myself an authority on the Demer family. So if you are planning to make a claim on your birthright, once you are outta here, you are gonna want me on your side. After all, I know how our brothers operate a lot better than you do.

Look, Kristen, I do want to help you and I will, but to stick my nose into these negotiations. At this point you are asking me to take. An extreme risk. No, Megan, I’m asking you to make a choice now. Either you include me in my nephews deal and you’ll secure yourself a valuable ally. Or if you leave me in here, you’ll gain a sworn enemy.

And don’t think for a second that my reach doesn’t extend beyond these prison bars. Kristin, listen to me. No more talking. It is decision time. But be advised, if you turn your back on me, you’ll to regret it,

so,

okay. Well, we’re gonna head back home to the pub if you’d like to have breakfast with us. Oh, thanks. I think you two need some time to catch up. Well, let’s do it soon though. Okay. Perhaps, uh, when Andrew’s back home and safe, definitely. Okay. Okay. I just can’t quite believe. We survived everything that Megan put us through.

Oh, I couldn’t believe it because you, me and Kayla, we are badasses baby. Here’s Roar.

Quite fond of Billy Reid, aren’t you? Agent Reid and I, we, uh, we went all separate ways. Oh, sorry to hear that. But she was instrumental in securing that peacock and returning it to your family, as was her boss, Shane Donovan. And for that, we are very grateful. Well, now it’s time to show that gratitude Shane is trying to get back something more precious than a statue.

At this very moment, we’re negotiating for the safe return of his son. Lord Jma. Andrew Donovan’s life is in your hands. Will you do the right thing and help us save him?

So did you get his Lord shipped to back down? I couldn’t help but hear his insufferable drone through the walls when you’re set free. I wouldn’t go anywhere near Amania if I were you. And definitely steer clear of Salem.

Oh look, it’s mommy call. Give that talk about pathetic. Give me my damn phone.

Hello mother. Yes, I have excellent news. You now will be free soon. Oh, that’s wonderful. I’m so proud of you, son. I knew you’d come through. I can’t wait to see you and celebrate. Mm, me too sweetheart. Dimitri darling, you have done such a magnificent job with these negotiations, and I don’t wanna ruffle any feathers, but I just have one little thing to add to our deal.

Last time you were here, you urged me not to give up on Andrew. Not to let logistics get in the way of being with someone who could make me really happy. Yeah, I remember that Well, shortly after you left, Andrew showed up and I took your advice and I committed to trying to make it work. We both did, and so things between us have gotten really, really serious.

Yeah. Andrew was in Salem not too long ago, and he told me that the two of you have reconnected.

I love him, dad. I really do. And now, and now the ISA is pouring everything they have into getting him released. Right. And I, uh, I just have that faith that they’re gonna succeed, that they’re gonna bring him back to us. To me,

if I father did his best to secure your release. And did he succeed?

What the hell? Megan demanded that Christer immunity too. The idea of those twisted sisters getting released at the same time when the deal was done, they were gonna let Andrew go, but now, now the whole damn thing could fall apart. You think they can say that? I don’t know, man. I just don’t know.

Hmm. So you haven’t heard anything about what’s going on in Greece? No, I haven’t. I haven’t heard a word from John either. I just hope that Andrew’s all right and that those criminals aren’t gonna come back and make our life miserable anymore.

Kayla, I’ll, I’ll call you back. I’ve got somebody at the door. Yeah. Okay.

Hey, thank God.

Okay. I know you liked the eggs, but I could have whipped up something a little more exciting for you. Are you kidding me? After a steady diet of lukewarm gr, this is heavenly. If I told you how happy I am at your home repeatedly, but it never gets old. Okay? Listen, this is your first full day back in sale, okay?

So whatever you want to do, we’re doing it. I can make you an appointment for a massage. We can take a walk in the park. Peacock and chill. The choice is yours. It all sounds really good. But honestly after I, after I finish this, I’d really like it if you could drive him out to stay still Katie. I know, I know, but I, I wanna see Lucas.

I do. And he needs to see that his mom is alive and well. I wanna see how he’s doing. Well yeah. You are right about, uh, will be in relief and uh, yes, he will be true. Well, I don’t know how thrilled he can be in under those circumstances, but I also wanna pay her visit to that bitch Megan Hathaway. Give her a piece of my mind.

Looks like I saved you the trouble.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Kristen sits in the prison visiting room, reading her last letter from Rachel. Megan joins her and asks about it. Kristen says she’s just going to read it over and over until she is holding her daughter again. Megan says she understands being separated from one’s child is very difficult for a mother. Megan adds that she hopes to be hearing from her son Dimitri very soon. Kristen questions how Dimitri is going to get them out of here when he’s in an Alamainian prison. Megan reveals that he’s not still there and he’s currently in police custody, which is only temporary. Kristen asks if his magic peacock is going to set him free. Megan responds that Dimitri doesn’t need magic because he’s brilliant, charming, and incredibly persuasive. Megan informs Kristen that Dimitri is negotiating their release as they speak.

At the police station in Greece, Steve and Harris confront Dimitri. Dimitri says he has nothing to say to them as he’s agreed to stay in police custody while awaiting word on if the ISA has conceded to his demands. Steve informs Dimitri that the police around here have been known to take a bribe. Harris reveals he gave them incentive to take a walk so they can have some privacy. Steve tells Dimitri that they have so much to catch up on. Harris suggests Dimitri start by telling them where Andrew Donovan is.

John arrives at Paul’s apartment in San Francisco, California. Paul says it’s good to see him but asks what he’s doing here. John knows Paul was worried about Andrew, so he thought he’d just come on out. Paul knows John wouldn’t have flown halfway across the country if he didn’t have something to tell him and guesses it’s something he didn’t want to say over the phone. John confirms that Andrew has been kidnapped.

Andrew is tied up in a chair as a guard throws a bucket of water on him to wake him up. The guard asks if Andrew doesn’t know how he got here. Andrew thinks back to asking Harris for help finding Kate where he then received a phone call from someone saying that they had kidnapped Paul and were holding a knife on him as they instructed Andrew to go to the airport for further instruction. Andrew remembers tracking Paul’s phone and arriving to find out it was fake and a man there pulled a gun on Andrew and tied him up.

Megan tells Kristen that Dimitri got someone to take his place in prison while he was out living his best life. Kristen recalls doing that herself once, but unfortunately her doppelganger is no longer available. Megan jokes that the idiots in this place probably wouldn’t notice if she replaced herself with a mop but to do it in an Alamainian prison is nearly impossible, yet Dimitri managed to do it with ease. Kristen brings up how she knows everything about the DiMera family and never hearing that Megan had a son. Megan points out that she also didn’t know she was alive and questions if Kristen is doubting her. Kristen wonders if this is a ploy. Megan calls it a fact that Dimitri is her flesh and blood as she gave birth to him and raised him to be the magnificent young man that he is.

Dimitri questions Harris and Steve trying to intimidate him and warns that if they lay a finger on him, Andrew will pay a steep price. Steve asks if he really wants to go against the director of the ISA. Harris warns that won’t go well with him. Steve asks again where Andrew is. Dimitri responds that they will have that information when his demands are met. Steve and Harris get that he wants immunity but question why he also wants immunity for Megan. Dimitri knows she’s not their favorite person. Steve calls Megan a sadistic freak who brainwashed both of them. Dimitri states that for some reason, he has a soft spot for her. Steve asks if Megan brainwashed him too. Dimitri assures that she hasn’t. Harris asks if Megan is his girlfriend or something which he laughs at. Dimitri then reveals to them that Megan Hathaway is his mother.

The man holding Andrew tells him that as soon as their boss gets what he wants, Andrew will be let go. Andrew asks who his boss is. The man says he’s going to get dinner and tells Andrew to sit there like a good little boy as he exits. Andrew remarks that is not going to happen.

Paul tells John that he was worried when he hadn’t heard from Andrew and no one had but he never thought this. John understands and mentions talking to Shane, who he says is doing everything he can to get his son back. Paul asks where to start.

Marlena starts to send a text to John when Roman shows up at her door. Marlena is thrilled to see he has returned as they hug. Marlena asks if this means it’s true. Roman tells her to see for herself as Kate joins him. Kate jokes that she’s not bad for someone who has been doing nothing but dodging death as she and Marlena embrace. Marlena says she’s so glad that Kate is alive. Kate is glad they are all okay but wishes they could say the same about Abe. Roman mentions that they just came from the hospital and that Abe is stable, but he’s not out of the woods yet. Marlena notes that she spoke to Kayla and asks if they saw Abe yet. Roman responds that only Paulina has been allowed in. Kate questions Abe being attacked by a mad man at the bakery. Roman assures that he’s been arrested but right now, his only concern is that Abe pulls through. Kate encourages that Abe is a fighter. Marlena points out that when Abe sees Kate, he will be so thrilled like she is. Marlena recalls her and Kayla hearing that gun shot. Roman is thankful that Bo didn’t go through with it. Kate talks about how she couldn’t wait to get off that island and then she ended up on another boat. Roman informs Marlena that Chad, Steve, and Harris rescued Kate from Dimitri. Kate complains that he had her cutting off the heads of fish. Marlena then reveals that Kate wasn’t the only one Dimitri held hostage as he has Andrew Donovan. Roman is shocked and Kate calls that terrible. Marlena thinks he’ll be okay because John is on the case.

Paul wants to go with John but John stops him and says the ISA is all over it and the person who took Andrew has already contacted Shane. Paul asks who it is. John informs him that it’s Dimitri. Paul thought he was in prison. John explains that he escaped but that was short lived and now he’s in custody in Greece where Chad, Steve, and Harris tracked him down. John adds that in exchange for the safe release of Andrew, he is demanding immunity for himself and his mother, Megan Hathaway.

Kristen tells Megan that she heard that Megan has been obsessed with Bo since high school. Megan doesn’t like that word but says that hasn’t changed as her heart will always belong to Bo. Kristen questions her having a kid with someone else then. Megan explains that after her “death”, she was put in a cryogenic sleep until Stefano had her thawed out. Megan says she immediately wanted to return to Salem to fight for Bo, but Stefano felt that would be unwise and he wanted her to lie low for awhile in Europe which she did and that’s where she met Dimitri’s father. Kristen remarks that they obviously hit it off. Megan states that she wanted a child and she got one, so she turned her focus to raising Dimitri but after a few years, his father decided that her influence on Dimitri was a bit too absolute. Megan adds that Dimitri was sent away to boarding school but that didn’t prevent them from being close. Megan remarks that a boy’s best friend is his mother.

Dimitri tells Harris and Steve that even though he and Megan weren’t always in close proximity, they were always deeply bonded. Harris asks if Steve is buying this. Steve believes Megan is Dimitri’s mother and says Dimitri is a DiMera through and through, ruthless and soulless. Dimitri says they can insult his lineage all they want but it’s Andrew who is on the chopping block. Dimitri asks if they are going to set him and Megan free or if they’re going to let Andrew die.

The guard returns to Andrew, who is pretending to be asleep. The guard guesses he’ll have to get another bucket of water to wake him up but Andrew pops up and knocks him out. Andrew tries to escape but the other guard appears with his gun raised.

Megan tells Kristen that she was never in love with Dimitri’s father and calls him a means to an end while Bo is everything to her. Kristen reminds her that Bo is in a coma so maybe she should just move on. Megan refuses and says she’s waited this long, so she will wait forever. Kristen questions what Megan’s plan is when she gets out and if she will just sit at Bo’s bedside. Megan says she will allow Hope to do that but she will monitor Bo’s condition closely so that she can be there when he wakes up. Kristen questions her not going straight back to Greece. Megan repeats that as soon as it looks like Bo will wake up, she will be there in a flash but in the meantime, she has her own destiny to fulfill and the next phase includes a long overdue return to Salem. Kristen calls that the one thing they have in common, similar destinies to fulfill. Kristen reminds Megan that she promised when she got released, she would take her with her. Kristen asks if that’s still happening.

Steve talks to Shane on the phone and talks about how Shane got the authorities in multiple different countries to drop the charges against Dimitri and Megan. Steve admits he would’ve done the same for his kids. Steve tells Shane that he will get these guys to release Dimitri and then he will make sure someone gets Megan released, so that Shane will then have his son back.

Kate says that Shane must be worried sick. Marlena hopes that Andrew is okay. Roman assures that the ISA and Black Patch will make sure that he is. Kate talks about being held by Dimitri being no picnic. Marlena relates to when Dimitri held her as well until John and Sebastian took him down.

Steve finishes his call with Shane and then Sebastian Alamain enters the police station in Greece. Sebastian introduces himself and Steve notes that his name sounds familiar. Sebastian questions Dimitri being released which Steve confirms is happening any minute now. Sebastian states that he’s sorry to burst his bubble but Dimitri will be coming with him. Steve questions what he’s talking about. Sebastian responds that he’s here to take Dimitri back to Alamainia where he will rot in prison for the rest of his miserable life.

Harris questions Dimitri really thinking that he’s getting out. Dimitri says he’s certain of it and he looks forward to all that the future holds for him. Dimitri asks if Harris can say the same, bringing up how he’s gallant rescue of Kate was a desperate attempt at redemption and says they both know Harris is not one of the good guys. Harris tells him to shut his mouth. Dimitri remarks that a hero like Harris deserves the utmost respect but argues that Steve and the others don’t respect, trust, or accept him. Dimitri says it must be hard to accept that he’ll never be good enough for John or Hope, but he’s not like them. Dimitri insists that he has a deep appreciation for his skills and Megan does too. Dimitri suggests Harris tells Steve and company to shove their judgment and come work for them. Harris questions if he’s seriously trying to lure him to the dark side. Dimitri says they’ll be in the shades of grey in between but Harris refuses. Dimitri brings up Bo heading there and being determined to shed his old life before he was shot. Dimitri talks about how Bo spent a lifetime being a good guy, but he realized that to become his true self, he would have to discard his true identity and venture in to the shadows. Dimitri declares that Bo did it without fear and embraced it, so he asks why can’t Harris. Harris questions Dimitri wanting him to come work for him and Megan. Harris remarks that he’d have to brainwash him again which Dimitri says he will certainly take under advisement.

Sebastian tells Steve that he came as soon as he heard of Dimitri’s release because his escape from the Alamainian prison was quite an embarrassment. Sebastian hands Steve an order from the highest court in Greece, giving them the right to have Dimitri released back to their custody. Steve understands why he wants to see Dimitri pay, noting what he and Megan did to him and John. Steve calls Dimitri a no good son of a bitch, but informs him that if he takes Dimitri back and locks him up, then a good man will lose his life.

Paul complains about having to sit and wait while Andrew’s life is on the line. John thought it might be easier if he had company. Paul appreciates him being there but says he can’t stop thinking about the picture of Andrew tied up. John encourages that Andrew is trained specifically for times like this. Paul questions how something like this happens. Paul asks if Shane gave any other details. John explains that Andrew was in Greece, helping Chad, Steve, and Harris find Kate. Paul mentions thinking Kate was dead. John says they all did but she wasn’t and then they thought she was lost at sea. John continues telling Paul about how Andrew was recruiting Harris, then got a phone call, left Greece and fell off the grid. Paul guesses whoever made the call lured Andrew into a trap. John knows they couldn’t have fooled Andrew easily, so whatever they used to pull him off the search had to be damn significant. Paul wonders if they used him since his phone was stolen out of his gym locker and guesses they could’ve used it to tell Andrew to tell him that he was in trouble. Paul worries about Andrew getting hurt or worse while trying to help him. John encourages that they will find him and get him back as he hugs Paul.

The guards tie Andrew back up and make sure it’s tighter this time.

Kristen assumes that she’s included in whatever deal Dimitri is making right now. Megan states that Kristen is her sister, so she wants to help her. Kristen reminds Megan that she told her last night that she would have her freedom when everything was sorted out and organized and it sounds like everything is organized now. Megan explains that she has to understand that Dimitri is trying to negotiate the release of two high profile prisoners so adding a third could upend everything. Kristen says if the ISA is willing to give her immunity after everything she’s done, then she must have something huge to offer them. Megan says that’s true but you can only push so far before they are going to walk away. Kristen argues that’s not her problem. Kristen reminds Megan that she kept her mouth shut about Bo being alive and in exchange, she promised that when she got out, she would take her with her. Megan assures she hasn’t forgotten that. Kristen adds that she’s only in here because she was held responsible for the deaths of Marlena, Kayla, and Kate despite her sincere efforts to retrieve the orchid to cure them and if Megan hadn’t ordered Bo to take the orchid from the mansion, she would be off the hook. Kristen declares that this is actually all Megan’s fault that she’s here in the damn first place. Kristen states that she considers herself an authority on the DiMera family, so if Megan plans to claim her birth right when she gets out, she will want her on her side because she knows how their brothers operate a lot better than she does. Megan says she does want to help Kristen and she will, but she’s asking her to take an extreme risk. Kristen warns Megan that she’s asking her to make a choice to either include her in her nephew’s deal, securing herself a valuable ally, or if she leaves her in here then she will gain a sworn enemy. Kristen assures that her reach goes beyond these prison bars. Kristen declares no more talking as it’s decision time. Kristen advises that if Megan turns her back on her, she will live to regret it. Kristen then asks her what’s it going to be.

Roman says he and Kate are going home to the Pub and invites Marlena to have breakfast with them. Marlena thanks them but thinks they need time alone. Kate says they will do it soon and suggests it being when Andrew is home safe. Marlena says she still can’t quite believe that they survived everything Megan put them through. Kate declares that it’s because they are badasses. Kate and Roman then exit.

Steve brings up Billie to Sebastian. Sebastian informs him that he and Billie went their separate ways. Steve points out how Billie and Shane Donovan were instrumental in bringing the Alamainian Peacock to Sebastian’s family. Sebastian says they are very grateful. Steve says now is the time to show that gratitude because Shane and his family are trying to get back something more precious than a statue. Steve explains that they are currently negotiating the safe return of Shane’s son. Steve informs Sebastian that Andrew Donovan’s life is in his hands, so he asks Sebastian to do the right thing and help them save Andrew.

Steve rejoins Harris with Dimitri. Dimitri asks if Steve got Sebastian to back down, noting that he couldn’t help but hear him through the walls. Steve warns Dimitri to stay away from Alamainia and away from Salem when he is free. Steve holds Dimitri’s phone as it rings with a call from Megan. Dimitri demands his phone so Steve hands it over and he answers. Dimitri tells Megan that they are going to be free soon. Megan calls that wonderful and says she’s so proud of him as she knew he would come through. Dimitri can’t wait to see her and celebrate. Megan says he did a magnificent job with these negotiations and she doesn’t want to ruffle any feathers, but she has one little thing to add to their deal.

Paul recalls the last time John was here, how he urged him not to give up on Andrew and not let logistics get in the way of being together. Paul says shortly after John left, Andrew showed up and they committed to trying to make it work, so things between them have gotten really serious. John mentions that Andrew was in Salem not long ago and told him that they had reconnected. Paul informs John that he really loves Andrew. John assures that the ISA has poured everything they have in to getting Andrew released. Paul decides he just has to have faith that they will succeed and bring Andrew back to him. John hugs Paul as he worries.

The guard informs Andrew that his father did his best to secure his release. Andrew asks if he succeeded. The guard then pulls out a knife.

Harris and Steve discuss Megan demanding Kristen get immunity too. They worry that with the deal done, Andrew was getting released, but now the whole thing could fall apart. Harris asks Steve if he thinks they can save it. Steve admits he just doesn’t know.

Marlena talks on the phone with Kayla and they talk about not hearing anything from Greece. Marlena hopes that Andrew is alright and that those criminals won’t come back to make their lives miserable anymore. Marlena then hangs up as Kristen shows up at her door.

Andrew shows up at Paul’s door and surprises him. They embrace as John smiles.

Roman and Kate have breakfast at the Brady Pub. Roman tells her how happy he is that she’s home. Roman calls it her first full day back in Salem, so whatever she wants to do, they are doing it. Kate says she’d really like to go to the prison to see Lucas, so he can see his mom is alive and well and so she can see how he’s doing. Roman admits it will be a relief and he will be thrilled. Kate adds that she will also want to pay a visit to Megan Hathaway and give her a piece of her mind. Megan then enters the Pub and declares that it looks like she saved her the trouble.

Hey, listen, could, could I ask you something before you, uh, head back up to the party? Um, was Wendy in the office today? Well, now that you mention it, No, wait, what’s the problem? Uh, the problem is if she wasn’t there, then that means she is still in Seattle with Trip.

What happened to you? Well, What didn’t happen? I was supposed to be back here yesterday. Yeah. I was on a flight right on schedule until the drunk bro in front of me started to pick a fight with the flight attendant. So then guests who ended up covered in beer when I got physical, not you by any chance.

And then we got diverted to South Dakota so they could haul him off the plane and arrest him. But by the time they did that, the crew had locked too many hours, so we were stuck there for the night. I understand Pierre can be. Beautiful. This. Okay? Do not, no, do not make any jokes because today almost as bad, oh, we made an unscheduled stop in Boise.

You should have called what? So you could send the Demer jet. You don’t work there anymore? Such a foul mood.

Oh, I’m afraid I’m not the person to cheer you up. Not tonight.

What’s wrong? My mood matches yours. Sign the divorce papers today,

Liam. So sorry. Yeah, I knew it was. I keep telling myself it will provide closure. God, I hate that word. Yeah, me too.

So, um, you gonna let Johnny know you’re back?

I’m not sure. You mean he didn’t convince you? He only proposed to Chanel because of psychedelic bakes? I didn’t know he did. I’m convinced. Then. What’s hesitation you think he’s. Still interested in someone else? No, but maybe I am.

Take them right to the trauma center and I’ll be right there. Okay? Okay, good. Thanks. Uh, that was e m t who just brought in two patients, Colin and Talia. I don’t know whether they’re in pretty bad shape, so I’m gonna go there now. Ray. Ray, where, where is, where’s Abraham? I, I have to, I have to see him. Yeah.

Yeah. I’m sorry. He’s still in surgery. Are you two? Okay. I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Yeah, we’re fine. No, we’re not. Okay. What kind of surgery is it that, oh, what did that animal do to my Abraham? Hey mama, please, please try to stay calm. Yeah, yeah. Calm down. Okay. I’m gonna tell you everything that I know.

Are you raised? Mama? Just freeze. There you go. Now it was brought in for a head trauma. Oh, when? When? How long was he lying on that floor? That, oh, that man. He beat his head in and he wouldn’t even, lemme call.

Everyone here loves ape. No one is gonna let anything happen to him. Okay. Not her. Not her. Please rape. Get her outta here. Oh,

I need to see my brother. He’s Colin Bedford. Yeah, I know. He’s in the trauma center. Go and stay the hell away from Paulina Price. I’m pretty sorry. Just go. God. He didn’t even talk to her like that. The hell. I don’t look at them. Look at them. Her and her brother are responsible for that. You understand? Son had nothing to, it’s not that it matters.

Yeah, you’re right. It doesn’t,

Paul, I’m sorry. You are sorry. After what that bitching her brother did to my Abraham. You think you could just say you are sorry? No, no. When you tell, you, tell your girlfriend that I’m glad her brother went off that roof. Wait, I don’t understand what happened to Abraham. Colin bashed his head in with a rolling pin at Sweep It.

Oh my God. He’s, where is he? He’s in surgery and we, we don’t know if he’s gonna make it. We don’t know if Talia’s gonna make it. We don’t know anything. Talia, they brought her here. Jada came with her. Wait, wait. She’s alive. I hope so. I hope the brother is dead.

I’m his sister. How is he alive when she’s a miracle? How bad is it? Well, no obvious breaks thanks to that awning, but I’ve ordered him x-rays and some painkillers. You can talk to him if you like.

You tell me, I didn’t what I had to. You had to take Paul and Chanel captive. You were supposed to go away. You, you promised me that you would leave them alone. I lied. I was so close. I was gonna make them pay and I would’ve, it wasn’t fat. Talia, the paramedic said that the awning saved your life. When I saw you go over that roof, I thought,

hi. Kayla. Hi, how are you? Hi. I’m so glad that you’ll be treating my sister. Oh, of course. Uh, taa, this is Kayla. She was a very great friend of dad, a very good friend of your father’s, and I’ve heard a lot about you. I’ve, I’ve heard a lot about you too. Well, All good. I hope. Well, um, I’m gonna examine you.

Okay. Can you tell me how you’re feeling? Scared, angry? We’ll sleep at myself. Well, you’ve been through a lot. Why don’t you try to follow my finger? Okay. Don’t move your head, just your eyes.

Okay. All right. This might hurt a little bit. Okay. But I’m just gonna get in here.

Okay. Well, it looks like the paramedics did a good job managing most of your contusions, so we’ll just see if you have a break. All right. It might hurt, but uh, just gimme a second. All right.

Ah, Walter, well, we might have a break. But we’ll know more of an x-ray. All right. Are you allergic? Any medications? No. Okay. I’ll go get you something for pain, okay? I would say you’re a very lucky girl. Thank you. I’ll give

Chah. I’m right here. How Chanel. God. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. We’re gonna be in the.

Are you ready?

That was weird. I didn’t think anyone could calm her down, let alone him.

Well, there’s a strong woman you take after her. Yeah, I don’t know about that.

I guess. Yeah, think can talk about it. Yeah. Wanna have a seat?

It’s alright. Just take your time. Um, so tonight, um, I’m, I’m, I’m not sure what time it was, but, uh, Talia, she told me that it was Sloan’s brother who ran the whole shell and that she was his girlfriend and that. She’d been working this whole time with him to get to me and mama. So I, I tried to warn mama, so I, I tried to find her and then when I called her, he answered Colin Bedford.

Yeah, him. And he told me to knee him up on the ends roof. And when I got there, He had a gun and he, he said that he was gonna make mama jump. Uh, you know, he, he wanted her to die like, like his mother died and she wouldn’t. And so then he, he turned the gun on me.

And then that was when Talia and Jada, they showed up and then things got even crazier and brave. I swear, I thought he was just gonna start shooting everyone. But then, Well them up. Yeah. That’s when, um, Talia, she, she jumped in and she was trying to grab the gun and then he started fighting her off. And then, then they, they, they both went over the edge.

Okay. Yeah. So what you’re saying is, Talia save your life. Like hell, she did.

You think Talia saved my life? I wouldn’t have been on that damn roof in the first place. If it wasn’t for Talia. Mama never would’ve been in danger, and Colin couldn’t have done any of this if it wasn’t for Talia warming her way into our lives setting us up. Okay. Okay. I know that she’s been lying to us.

What was she really in that deep? Did she know what he was planning to do? She admitted everything. She loves that disgusting creep and she would do anything he told her to do and that is why she spiked those biscuits. She stole the keys to Mama’s office and she was willing to sleep with me. Just so that Look, you get the picture?

Yeah. Do not, do not let her get away with this. Do you know that She tried telling me that she felt bad about it all, but she still did it, all of it, and she still needs to pay. Chanel is okay. So is her mom. Thank God. Look, Jada, I’ve never seen Colin like that before. Look, I know he wanted to teach them a lesson, but.

Killed him. It’s obvious that’s what he wanted from the beginning. No, no, it, it literally, it just got out of hand, out of hand. God, Talia, the things you did, the lies you told me,

that’s not you. He lost both of his parents, Jada, it wrecked him. You know, a lot of people have been through a hell of a lot worse than calling Bedford and they don’t try to kill people. And you knew it was all wrong. That’s why you called me and thank God you did. I am trained to handle situations like this.

Why didn’t you just let me handle it? Look, I know. Okay. I just, I just wanted to stop him from hurting Chanel. That’s all I ever wanted to do, and I never met him to blow off this roof. Why do you give a damn about him?

I heard those two bitches right where I wanted them, and then Talia showed up with her cop sister and everything went to hell. She was supposed to be on my side. And she pushed me.

Why are you up there in the first place? Why? Why? I had to be on the roof. Why did you do any of it? Why didn’t you leave?

God, I told you I was gonna go to the police if you didn’t back off. Colin, I miss mom and dad as much as you do, but there are limits you can’t kill. You gave up. You told me that you met someone. You wanted to have a life here. What kind of life is that? You could see the two people who did this to us park in a restaurant and a damn bakery free.

Walking around still alive.

What kind of life is that?

I dunno.

I just did what I had to, I guess. Yeah, and I did what I had to

a different Sloan.

I can’t forget what happened. How everything is SW apart. I’ll never forget

that. You know, I was in Seattle helping trip with his brother, Joey and I. Mm-hmm. I was pretty angry with Johnny when I left. And I guess that made me wanna see if there was still something with Trip. What’s there? Well, we, uh, he was still interested and I do like him and we did end up going out one night.

Really? Because right now you don’t exactly sound over the moon about it. Well, I just, I don’t like not knowing what I’m feeling. Okay. I get so angry with Johnny, but I like him the trip. He’s just, he’s so easy to be with and I know I have to choose, but I just, I don’t know how I’m gonna do it. Why? Huh? Why do you have to choose?

Because.

Because I don’t know why, because you don’t have to choose. And in business, the worst thing you can do is make a decision before you have all the data. You know, scares me, is that I’m talking to you about my personal life and it terrifies me that I think you’re actually making sense. No, I have my moments.

I told Johnny I wouldn’t be gone long. Wonder if he thinks I was lying to him about how I feel about Trip, given the way it was the last time I saw him. I think he’ll take what he can get. Oh, well that’s romantic. Flattering too. Okay. Didn’t come out the way I meant it too. Okay. Mm-hmm. I mean, you have the upper hand.

You wanna take your sweet time to figure out what you want. They’ll both wait because you’re worth waiting for. What’s up? Was up flattering enough for you?

It’s a star.

We’re a real pair. I have no one. And you have more guys than you know what to do with.

So Wendy was kind of vague about it, but I really thought she’d be back by now. What you think she stayed to beat with Trip? I thought you said she believed you about why you proposed to Chanel. Yeah, she said she did, but Guy was here. Tripp was there. Kind of hard to compete when you’re not even in the stadium.

You know what I mean? Oh, you don’t know that for sure. Here’s an off the wall idea. Why don’t you call her and ask her, ah, I’m already coming off as kind of needy. The light from needy would take 8 million years to reach any dera, especially you. Come on. Do you need a pep talk? Johnny, don’t give up. Are you kidding me?

Stefan was dead and now we’re gonna get married. Hope and love. That’s what makes the world go round. Forget that at Shapiro Johnny V.

You rang, you’re back. Hey. Yeah. From the trip from hell dropped off my bag in Am Well, I am very glad because I missed you very much.

Okay. I. I wanna say something, Johnny. Okay. I’m really glad we got the, uh, proposal stuff behind us because I like you. I like being with you. That’s good to know. But I like trip too.

I am probably the last person you wanna see. Last person I expected to see. Well, I wanted to, uh, Tell you something, I wanted to do it in person. Okay?

After I got the divorce papers, Stephan proposed

and you accepted. Yeah, I did.

Gabby, you could have texted me the news. So why are you here? Shouldn’t you be celebrating with your fiance? We have celebrated, um, as a matter of fact, I was going downstairs to grab a second bottle of champagne, and when I got upstairs, Stephan was already asleep. But that’s all right, because it gave me the chance to do this.

I signed them too,

Talia. Why do you care about what happens to Colin? Do you still have feelings for this guy after everything he did? No. I don’t know. Okay. But you keep telling me that I could have died, but he could have died too, and I would’ve been the one who killed him. But you weren’t. He survived. So now just forget about him.

Okay. Just be glad that it’s, it’s, it’s over. Okay. Okay. What Can you do one thing for me please? Can you just see if he’s okay?

I’m back. Your pain medicine in IV bag. I’ll to go. Um, she’s gonna need to get some sleep. Okay. Okay. There’s, I need to,

Hey, I want you talk like that. This hospital is crawling with hops he needs. He needs to what? What are you doing here? What do you think I’m doing here? Don’t worry, this won’t take long. Colin Bedford, you are under arrest. Watch. And I will read you your rights since you already have counsel,

Mr. Chanel. I can’t say anything until I speak to the da. Okay? Well, I’m just gonna tell you this. One way or another. Talia Hunter is not getting away with this. Yeah. Alright, Jada, there you are. Hey. Hello. How you holding up? Fine. I just arrested Colin Bedford. And what about your sister? I think she’s gonna be okay.

I wasn’t inquiring after her health. Yeah. Chanel’s been telling me everything that your sister is just as guilty as Bedford. Only, I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know am I? So if you arrested him now, what about her? I look, I’m gonna go make sure my mom is okay. Because you see, she’s worried that her husband might die because he got in calling and told you his way.

So if your sister is not arrested tonight, I will be calling the DA and alerting the media.

Yeah, Jada, um, Chanel told me everything that Talia has confessed to her only in his office, the biscuits, and I’ve got no choice but to hold her. Okay. Why don’t you go home, go get some rest, right? No, no. I’m, I’m, I’m still on duty and I have an arrest mate.

Well, must feel nice to finally be free.

I’m not gonna lie. It does, but I’m not here to. Quote Lee, you’re, you’re free too. You can put yourself out there and I know that there’s gonna be somebody waiting somebody. They’ll be very lucky to find you after everything I put you through. You can’t seriously think that anyone would be lucky to find me.

I’m not a hypocrite Lee. I don’t forget the things that I’ve done to get what I want, so I don’t think I get to take the high moral road here. Let, let’s just move on and forget the past. Gabby, I’m, I’m sorry that I hurt you. I got crazy because losing you is the worst thing that ever happened to me.

I look back and it was inevitable. I mean, we’re a lot alike, so it felt like something that could last.

And even if Stefan hadn’t come back, you’re good at the game you set yourself. That’s all it was a game.

You’ll realize that when you meet the right woman.

I hope you do soon.

I am sorry if I was abrupt, but. And I thought you needed to know where I stood. Well, where we stood, if there’s still a we after that. So you weren’t shutting me down just then. No.

It was more of a, I like you both. I want to see where it all goes, kind of thing. And I’m not trying to make it sound like it’s a competition. I feel like different things about both of you.

Huh? Why not call it a competition? Because it means I’m still in the game.

And frankly, I like my chances.

Don’t get back to me as soon as possible. Where’s Paulina? I have good news. She’s in the chapel. No, I’m not. What? Good news? Uh, they just brought Abe to recover. Thank you. Thank you. Dr. Hubbard is cautiously optimistic that the surgery went well. Oh, can I see him? Yes, but briefly. Okay. He’s heavily sedated and he may not react.

Oh, I don’t give a damn how he reacts. I just need to see you. The alive. Okay, I’ll take you.

He’s telling. Okay, so that way Frank Sloan had no idea that Con would do this. She would’ve stopped him if she had. Don’t worry. Your girlfriend’s not facing any charges. You know, you could at least say you’re sorry for the way you were harassing her earlier. Huh? You know, visiting hours over. So why don’t you go take your girlfriend home?

Wouldn’t want her to run into Pauline again.

You had to know this would happen. Would you have really gone to the police? The difference does it make now, I dunno, Sloan, All I have left are you fool me or against me.

You’re my brother. Nothing changes that. I don’t need a sister right now. I need a lawyer. What? You have to get me outta this son. Get you out of this after all you, Colin, that was the mayor you assaulted. That was the mayor’s wife and stepdaughter you put at gunpoint

when you came to visit me. Before I said that you were a wicked smart barrister. How many can I count on you?

Like I said, you are my brother no matter what you did. Of course. I’m gonna help you

Ra. I didn’t wanna ask you this in front of Mama, but what’s happening with Talia? She’s in the process of being arrested. Good. That’s what I was hoping

here. Think I fell asleep. So. Did you see Colin? What happened to him? He’s not going to die. Thank God I arrested him

and now I have to do the same. With you,

you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have a lawyer with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you.

Johnny comes home to the DiMera Mansion as Gabi stumbles down the stairs with a bottle of champagne in her hand. Gabi remarks that maybe she had too much to drink. Johnny notices the champagne and asks if she’s celebrating. Gabi shows him her ring and announces that she and Stefan are engaged again. Johnny asks if this means that Li is officially in the past. Gabi confirms that she has the divorce papers in hand, so it’s finally over.

Sloan and Eric walk through the town square. Sloan tells Eric that she gets that if she keeps any more secrets from him, they are done. Sloan then gets a phone call from Li, who says he needs to know if Gabi signed the divorce papers yet. Sloan says they just sent them over this afternoon and she knows he’s anxious but this isn’t a good time yet.

Rafe calls from the hospital that he wants more units out on the west side and for the APB on Colin Bedford to be expanded to state wide as he wants him found now. Kayla comes over and asks if she heard correctly that Abe is in surgery with a head injury. Rafe confirms that he is and when he got here, he had some sort of seizure. Kayla asks what happened. Rafe reveals that he found him on the floor at the bakery and that whoever did it took Paulina while now they can’t find Paulina or Chanel anywhere.

Jada screams for Colin to drop the gun. Chanel drops to the ground with Paulina as Talia then rushes Colin and begins fighting with Colin over the gun. Jada screams for Talia to take cover and let her do this. Jada and Chanel scream while Talia and Colin continue to struggle. Talia and Colin then both end up falling over the ledge and off the roof of the building!

Sloan asks Li why it matters when he knows she’s going to sign them. Colin then falls from the rooftop, bleeding, and lands in the town square. Sloan rushes to his side to check on him.

Jada, Chanel, and Paulina look over the edge of the roof and scream for Talia. Jada says she will call for help as she rushes down to get to Talia. Paulina worries about getting to Abe.

Kayla finishes a call and informs Rafe that the surgery is ongoing so they won’t have a status report for awhile. Rafe swears to kill Colin if Abe doesn’t pull through. Rafe argues that Sloan could have stopped all of this. Rafe gets a call from Jada and asks if she got him and questions being told about the Salem Inn.

Sloan tells Colin not to move as he will make it worse and asks what happened. Colin tells Sloan that “she did this” which Sloan questions. Jada comes rushing out of the Salem Inn looking for Talia. Eric helps her move the rubble to find Talia underneath.

Chanel informs him that Paulina is with her and cries that it was awful. Rafe asks what happened and if she is alright. Chanel says they are on the roof of the Salem Inn but worries about Abe being hurt. Rafe confirms that Abe is in surgery at the hospital and says he’ll send a unit for them. Chanel tells Rafe that there is more and informs him that Colin got them all to the roof and he was going to push her off but Talia and Colin both went over the edge of the roof. Chanel worries for Jada.

Jada questions why Talia did that as she cries. Eric encourages that help is coming. Sloan tells Colin not to worry and to stay strong as help is coming.

Johnny asks Gabi if Wendy was in the office today. Gabi says she wasn’t and asks what the problem is. Johnny says if she wasn’t there, that means she’s still in Seattle with Tripp.

Wendy comes home to the apartment where Li asks what happened to her. Wendy asks what didn’t happen since she was supposed to be back yesterday and was on her flight until a drunk man started fighting with the flight attendant so they got diverted to South Dakota to get him off the plane and by the time they did that, the crew had logged too many hours so they were stuck there for the night. Li jokes with her. Wendy tells him not to joke because today was almost just as bad as they made an unexpected stop in Boise. Li says she should’ve called. Wendy asks why since he can’t send the DiMera jet since he doesn’t work there anymore. Wendy complains of her bad mood. Li says he’s afraid that he’s not the person to cheer her up tonight. Wendy asks what’s wrong. Li responds that his mood matches her’s since he signed the divorce papers today. Wendy tells him that she’s so sorry. Li admits he knew it was coming and he keeps telling himself that it will provide closure. Li asks if Wendy is going to let Johnny know that she’s back. Wendy responds that she’s not sure. Li asks if Johnny didn’t convince her that he only proposed to Chanel because of the drugged biscuits. Wendy assures that he did convince her, so Li questions what the hesitation is. Wendy responds that she may be interested in someone else.

Kayla finishes call with an EMT, saying to bring in the two patients to the trauma unit. Rafe guesses it’s Colin and Talia. Kayla doesn’t know but says they are in pretty bad shape so she’s going there now. Chanel brings Paulina in a wheelchair over to them. Paulina asks Rafe where Abe is and says she has to see him. Rafe responds that he’s still in surgery. Rafe asks if they are okay as he’s been looking everywhere for them. Chanel says they are fine but Paulina says they are not. Paulina asks about Abe’s surgery and what that animal did to him. Chanel encourages her to stay calm while Rafe says he will tell her everything he knows. Rafe explains that Abe was brought in for head trauma. Paulina worries about how long Abe was laying on the floor since Colin wouldn’t let her call an ambulance. Rafe assures that everyone loves Abe and no one will let anything happen to him. Sloan and Eric arrive at the hospital. Paulina screams not her while Chanel asks Rafe to get Sloan out of here. Sloan tells Rafe that she needs to see his brother. Rafe informs her that he’s in the trauma center. Rafe tells Sloan to go and stay the hell away from Paulina and Chanel. After Sloan hurries to the trauma center, Eric tells Rafe that he didn’t have to talk to her like that. Rafe tells Eric to look at Paulina and Chanel as he declares that Sloan and Colin are responsible for that. Eric starts to argue but decides it doesn’t matter. Eric goes over to Paulina and apologizes. Paulina questions Eric thinking he can just say he’s sorry after what Sloan and Colin did to Abe. Eric doesn’t understand and asks what happened to Abe. Chanel informs him that Colin bashed Abe’s head in with a rolling pin at the bakery. Eric asks where Abe is. Chanel says he’s in surgery and they don’t know if he’s going to make it or if Talia is either. Eric informs them that Talia was brought here. Chanel is surprised that Talia is alive while Paulina declares that she hopes Colin is dead.

Sloan visits Colin in the trauma center, where the doctor informs her that it’s a miracle that Colin is still alive. Sloan asks how he is. The doctor says there’s no obvious breaks but he’s ordered x-rays and painkillers. He leaves the room to allow Sloan to talk to Colin as he wakes up and asks what happened. Colin tells Sloan that he did what he had to do. Sloan questions him taking Chanel and Paulina captive when he was supposed to go away as he promised her that he would leave them alone. Colin admits that he lied and says he was so close to making them pay. Colin declares that he would’ve if it wasn’t for Talia.

Jada sits with Talia in her hospital room. Jada informs her that the awning saved her life and cries about seeing her go over the edge of the roof. Kayla enters the room. Jada hugs her and says she’s so glad that she will be treating her sister. Jada introduces Talia to Kayla as a good friend of their father. Kayla asks Talia how she’s feeling. Talia admits she’s scared and angry at herself. Kayla understands she’s been through a lot. Kayla says the paramedics did a good job bandaging her. Kayla checks her and says she might have a broken arm but they will know more with an x-ray. Kayla says that Talia is very lucky and she will get her painkilllers. Kayla then exits the room to give them a moment. Talia asks Jada how Chanel is.

Eric decides to take Paulina to the chapel to pray. Chanel calls that weird as she didn’t think anyone could calm Paulina down, let alone Eric. Rafe calls Paulina a strong woman and says Chanel takes after her. Chanel isn’t sure about that. Rafe asks if she’s ready to talk about it. Chanel says she is so she sits with Rafe. Rafe tells her to take her time. Chanel starts by saying that tonight Talia told her that Sloan’s brother ran the whole show and she was his girlfriend who had been working the whole time with him against them. Chanel says she tried to call Paulina to warn her but when she called, Colin answered and told her to meet him on the roof of the Salem Inn. Chanel adds that when she got there, he had a gun and said he was going to make Paulina jump so she would die like his mother died but when she wouldn’t, he turned the gun on her. Chanel says that was when Talia and Jada showed up and things got even crazier. Chanel thought Colin was going to start shooting everyone but that’s when Talia jumped in and tried to grab the gun but Colin started fighting her off and then they both went over the edge. Rafe takes that as what Chanel is saying is that Talia saved her life. Chanel disagrees and argues that if it wasn’t for Talia, she wouldn’t have been on the roof, Paulina wouldn’t have been in danger, and Colin couldn’t have done any of this. Rafe knows that Talia has been lying to them but asks if she was really in that deep and knew what Colin was doing. Chanel reveals that Talia admitted everything and that she loves that creep so she would do anything that he told her to do which is why she spiked the biscuits, stole Paulina’s keys, and was willing to sleep with her. Chanel tells Rafe not to let Talia get away with this. Chanel notes that Talia tried telling her that she felt bad about it all, but she still did it and needs to pay.

Jada tells Talia that Chanel and Paulina are okay. Talia tells Jada that she’s never seen Colin like that before. Talia knows he wanted to teach them a lesson. Jada says it’s obvious that he wanted to kill them from the beginning. Talia argues that it just got out of hand. Jada brings up the things Talia did and the lies she told her. Jada says that’s not her. Talia argues that Colin lost both of his parents and it wrecked him. Jada says that a lot of people have been through worse than Colin and don’t try to kill people. Jada adds that Talia knew it was wrong which is why she called her. Jada points out that she is trained to handle situations like this and asks why she didn’t just let her handle it. Talia says she knows but she just wanted to stop Colin from hurting Chanel and she never meant for him to go off the side of the roof. Jada questions why she gives a damn about him.

Colin tells Sloan that he had those two bitches right where he wanted them but then Talia showed up with Jada and everything went to hell. Colin argues that Talia was supposed to be on his side and she pushed him. Sloan questions why he was up there in the first place. Colin says it had to be on the roof. Sloan asks why he did any of it and why he didn’t leave. Sloan reminds him that she told him she would go to the police if he didn’t back off. Sloan says she misses their parents as much as he does but there are limits and he can’t kill. Colin complains that Sloan gave up and asks what kind of life she could live if she had to see the people that did this to them being free and alive. Sloan guesses she just did what she had to. Colin says that he did too. Colin states that they are different as he can’t forget what happened and how everything was torn apart because he’ll never forget.

Wendy tells Li that she was in Seattle, helping Tripp with Joey and she was pretty angry with Johnny when she left, so she guesses that made her want to see if there was still something with Tripp. Li asks if there was. Wendy admits that Tripp is still interested, she does like him, and they ended up going out one night which felt good. Li feels she doesn’t sound that over the moon about it. Wendy says she just doesn’t like not knowing how she’s feeling. She mentions getting so angry with Johnny, but she likes him, while Tripp is so easy to be with and she knows she has to choose but she doesn’t know how to do it. Li asks why she has to choose. Wendy admits she doesn’t know why. Li tells her that she doesn’t have to choose and says in business, the worst thing you can do is make a decision before having all the data. Wendy jokes that it scares her that she’s talking to him about her personal life and it terrifies her that he’s actually making sense. Li says he has his moments. Wendy notes that she told Johnny that she wouldn’t be gone long, so she wonders if he thinks she was lying to him about how she feels about Tripp. Li feels Johnny will take what he can get based on the last time he saw him. Li encourages that Wendy has the upper hand and can take her time to decide what she wants because they will both wait since she is worth waiting for. Li jokes that they’re a real pair since he has no one and she has more guys than she knows what to do with.

Johnny tells Gabi that Wendy was vague but he thought she’d be home by now. Gabi thought Wendy believed him about being drugged. Johnny says she said that she did but Tripp was there and he was here, so it’s kind of hard to compete when you’re not in the stadium. Gabi encourages that he doesn’t know for sure and suggests that he call Wendy and ask her. Johnny worries about coming off needy. Gabi urges him not to give up. Gabi points out that Stefan was dead and now they are getting married. Gabi declares that hope and love is what makes the world go round as she then heads back upstairs. Johnny decides to call Wendy but she shows up at his door. Johnny says he missed her very much and leans in to kiss her but she backs away and says she wants to say something. Wendy is glad they got the proposal stuff behind them because she likes him and being with him, but she likes Tripp too.

Gabi shows up at Li’s door and says she wanted to tell him something in person. Gabi informs him that after she got the divorce papers, Stefan proposed and she accepted. Li says she could have texted him that news and questions why she’s here instead of celebrating with Stefan. Gabi states that they have celebrated and she was going to grab a second bottle of champagne but Stefan was already asleep which gave her the chance to do this. Gabi then hands Li the divorce papers and informs him that she signed them too.

Jada questions Talia as to why she cares about what happens to Colin and if she still has feelings for him after everything he did. Talia admits she doesn’t know, pointing out that she could have died but he could have too and she would’ve been the one who killed him. Jada points out that she didn’t and he survived. Jada urges Talia to forget about Colin and be glad that it’s over. Talia asks Jada if she can just see that Colin is okay. Kayla returns to the room with pain medicine. Kayla tells Jada that Talia will need to get some sleep. Jada declares there is something she needs to do and exits the room.

Sloan tells Colin not to talk like that because the place is crawling with cops. Jada then storms in and questions what Sloan is doing there. Jada says it won’t take long and handcuffs Colin to the bed. She says he’s under arrest but she won’t read him his rights because he already has counsel in Sloan. Jada then storms back out of the room.

Rafe tells Chanel that he can’t say anything until he speaks to the district attorney. Chanel declares that one way or another, Talia Hunter is not getting away with this. Jada comes out and Rafe excitedly greets her, asking how she’s holding up. Jada says she’s okay and informs him that she just arrested Colin. Chanel asks what about Talia. Jada responds that she thinks she’s going to be okay. Chanel angrily says that she wasn’t inquiring about her health as Talia is just as guilty as Colin which she already knows. Chanel points out that Jada arrested Colin and asks what about Talia. Chanel then decides she’s going to check on Paulina because she’s worried that Abe might die because he got in Colin and Talia’s way. Chanel warns Jada that if Talia is not arrested tonight, she will be calling the district attorney tonight and alerting the media. Chanel then storms off. Rafe tells Jada that Chanel told him about everything that Talia had confessed to her, so he has no choice but to hold her. Rafe suggests Jada go home and rest but Jada says she’s still on duty and she has an arrest to make as she walks away.

Li tells Gabi that it must feel nice to finally be free. Gabi admits that it does but says she’s not here to gloat, pointing out that Li is free too to put himself out there. Gabi knows there will be somebody waiting that will be very lucky to find him. Li argues that after everything he put her through, she can’t seriously think someone would be lucky to find him. Gabi says she doesn’t forget the things that she’s done to get what she wants, so she can’t take the moral high ground here. Gabi suggests they just move on and forget the past. Li apologizes for hurting her and admits he got crazy because losing her is the worst thing that ever happened to him. Gabi says she looks back and calls it inevitable. Gabi admits they’re a lot like so it felt like something that could last, but even if Stefan never came back, Li said himself that it was all a game. Gabi kisses Li on the cheek and says he will realize that when he meets the right woman and she hopes he does soon. Gabi then exits the apartment.

Wendy tells Johnny that she’s sorry if she was abrupt, but she thought he needed to know where they stood. Johnny questions her not shutting him down just then. Johnny asks if she likes them both and wants to see where it goes. Wendy doesn’t want to make it sound like a competition but says she likes different things about both of them. Johnny suggests calling it a competition since that means he’s still in the game as they then kiss. Johnny then states that he likes his chances.

Rafe finishes a call. Kayla comes over and asks where Paulina is because she has good news. Rafe says she’s in the chapel. Eric and Chanel then return with Paulina to ask about the good news. Kayla announces that Abe has just been brought to recovery which Paulina is relieved to hear. Kayla adds that the doctor is cautiously optimistic that the surgery was a success. Paulina asks to see Abe which Kayla says she can allow that briefly so she takes her to his room. Eric asks Rafe if Talia is okay. Rafe says it looks that way. Eric insists that Sloan had no idea that Colin would do this and she would’ve stopped him if she had. Rafe tells Eric not to worry as Sloan isn’t facing any charges. Eric remarks that Rafe could’ve just apologized for harassing Sloan earlier. Rafe tells Eric that visiting hours are over so he should take Sloan home so she doesn’t run in to Paulina again.

Sloan tells Colin that he had to know this would happen. Colin asks if she really would have gone to the police. Sloan asks what difference it makes now. Colin argues that she’s all he has left, so he asks if she is for him or against him. Sloan states that he is her brother and nothing changes that. Colin responds that he doesn’t need a sister right now, he needs a lawyer and she has to get him out of this. Sloan reminds him that he assaulted the mayor and put the mayor’s wife and stepdaughter at gunpoint. Colin asks if he can count on her. Sloan repeats that he is her brother no matter what, so of course she’s going to help him, right as Eric looks in to the room.

Chanel returns to Rafe and asks what’s happening with Talia. Rafe informs her that she’s in the process of being arrested. Chanel says that’s what she was hoping for.

Jada returns to Talia’s hospital room as she wakes up. Talia asks if she saw Colin and what happened to him. Jada informs her that he’s not going to die and she arrested him. Jada declares that now she has to do the same with her. Jada reads Talia her rights while holding back tears.

Nicole Walker, will you marry me?

Well, I, uh, I, I don’t know what to say. That’s easy. Say yes. Say you’ll be my wife,

Mr. Brady. Hey, I’m back to. Do your paralegal impersonation? I’m waiting for my girlfriend. Ah, so she’s got you cooling your heels while she’s but in there conferring with one of Herschey clients.

Sloan’s the one who needs a lawyer. She’s been arrested.

So the last time you saw Colin was yesterday afternoon at the motel? Yep. Right after he promised me he’d leave town and he didn’t give any indication of where he was going. We’ve already been over this. I don’t know where he is. Okay. Drop the attitude Sloan. If you had turned him in from the beginning, we wouldn’t even be here and you wouldn’t be in this mess.

But instead, your psychotic brother is out on the loose and who knows what he’ll do next. He is not even dangerous. I swear you don’t even know him. I know enough that he’s somehow got my sister to do his little dirty work. Make some dangerous enough for me. Your sister? What are you talking about? Listen, we’re talking about you here.

I don’t owe you any exclamations. I didn’t know you had a sister. Let’s talk about you, huh? Oh, no. No. Forget it. You don’t get to drop a bomb like that and just walk it back still level with me. How exactly are your sister and my brother involved?

I am delighted that you showed up. Yeah, yeah. Everything has worked out perfectly. What are you gonna do? Well, YouTube bitches went to great lengths to make the world please.

And my mom. Jumped off the side of a building and now, now the story’s gonna come full circle. No. Say goodbye to your mom. Chanel. She’s about to jump right there. No, come you goodbye to Chanel. No, please, please. You always do this. No, I do. You understand? Don’t you gimme your money, your influence to meet the world.

Belinda, my mom committed suicide and now you are right with. Yes. You can’t live with what your daughter did, so you are gonna end your life the same way that your daughter ended. My mother.

Like Sands through the hourglass are the days of our lives.

Please. Please don’t do anything you want. Please just don’t hurt my mama. Is that all you said to my dad? Huh? I’ll do anything you want. That’s quite an offer for me. Young Nu slightly like yourself. No wonder my old man couldn’t keep it in the Chaz Young man. Young man. You need help your man. I am what?

Your daughter and you made me. I’m in your creation. Smile. Shut up, sharp. We’ve got your precious warmth.

You did this, you took my parents away from me, and now you are gonna watch as I take your mama away from you.

Stay with me. All right. Hey Amy. Can you hear me? That man. I’m mad he, he took Paulina. Yeah, I know. I know. There’s an u b out on him already. Okay. Every cop out there wants to find him. We think we know who he is. Abe. Hey Abe. Hey, did you hear me? Hey, yeah. His name is Colin Bedford. Sloan Peterson’s brother.

Right. There’s the ambulance, Abebe. Damn, babe. I demand you. Tell me what you think you have on my brother. You can demand all you want. It’s not gonna do you any good. You’re the suspect here. I ask the questions, but you’re charging me as an accessory on my brother’s alleged crimes. And if your sister is somehow involved, Well, you can’t be all that objective can you?

Tall? Is that you? Look, I really need your help. Okay. I think I really messed up. She’s at your sister. I’m at the station. I’m gonna need you to come here. No, just please just come to me. Okay. I’m in the Salem in room five 14. Just whatever you do, please hurry. I’m on my way. You think you’re going somewhere?

What about me? Used to be booked. Where the hell are you going?

Detective Hunter. I need you to explain why Sloane Kirson was a,

so, um, Nicole Walker. Sloan Peterson and her, do you have a thing for obnoxious women?

I need an answer, Nicole. My knee’s going to sleep. Ah, would you please get up? What’s wrong? I thought you liked spontaneity. Would you have preferred one of those large spectacles that goes viral on social media? Shall I get your favorite boy band to perform and serenade you in the town square while doves fly out?

Maybe just a simple, sincere proposal of marriage. Alright, I’ll give it another go.

Will you be the honor of

No, no, no. Why in the hell would I even think about marrying a cynical opportunistic jackass?

So you’re not just rejecting my proposal, you’re calling me names. Well, you’re lucky I didn’t knee you in the Dara family jewel. And you know what that reminds me? The next time you decide to propose to someone, you might wanna come prepared with what? I don’t know, a ring maybe. Wait, wait. Is that why you rejected my proposal?

Because I didn’t slip on a vulgar, extravagant diamond on your finger? No, of course not. Then what’s the bloody problem then? I mean, it, I, I, I’m, I’m at a loss here. A marriage proposal doesn’t usually spark an angry diatribe. You mean a heartfelt one? Doesn’t, my proposal was heartfelt. I had the purest of intentions when I asked you to marry me.

Bull. Bull. Yeah. Bull. The one and only reason you proposed to me is because your brother proposed to Gabby. Yeah. Oh, and I go in there and talk to Sloan. Uh, no. But you can’t answer this question for me. Did your old girlfriend arrest your current girlfriend? Because she finally has proof that your current girlfriend poisoned those biscuits.

It’s quite the opposite. She and Rafe now know for a fact that someone else lays those biscuits. Yeah. And who is that? Someone you know, I’m going in there. Please just leave her alone. How about you tell me what I wanna know. And I’ll e be in there when I talk to her.

Thank God. Here you need to tell me everything you know about Colin and if you try to protect him. I ball. Okay, good, because I already know that he’s Sloan Peterson’s brother. Wait, how did, how did you find out? I’m a cop. Remember, you’ve been helping Colin harass Paulina and her daughter this whole time, right?

Whoa. You know, our father would be so ashamed. You just stop yelling at me and listen for once. Please. You’ll have to stop. Colin from her nation, Chanel’s mother. Why? What has he done? Girl, you better answer me. Look. Okay. He swore that he was done going after them, but then I found this

and I’m pretty sure it’s blindness. Wow. The hell. Did he get it? Did he steal it? I don’t, I don’t know. I don’t, I don’t think so. Okay. What do you think

that Paulina was here in this room? What coming? What the hell are they now? Yeah. I’m at University Hospital right now with the mayor. They’re working on ’em in the er. Did you guys get any word on the a p B? We put out on Colin Bedford? Well tell the units to look harder then. Listen, I’m pretty sure this is the guy that attacked the mayor, and according to ab, he’s the one who kidnapped Paulina price.

Bedford should be considered armed and dangerous. No. There must be a way to work. Work this out. There must be, there must be something you want. Just name your price. See, there you go again. You can throw money at any problem and it’ll just go away. Huh? And guess what? I don’t want your dirty money. What I want is my parents back.

Since you can’t give that to me. What I want is justice. Oh, you must be outta your damn mind if you, I’m gonna jump off this roof. I’ll get justice another way. Oh, they’re making me watch your daughter die.

Really, you’re not gonna say anything. Oh, for fear, I might offend your tender sensibilities. Oh wait, you are insulted. Why wouldn’t I be? You’ve decided that my proposal was a business maneuver. Excuse me. Have you forgotten that before you got down on one knee, you were desperate to find a way to upstage Stephanie and Gabby?

I’ll admit that the timing of the proposal could have been. Crass, hurtful. Alright. Alright. It did have something to do with Gabby and Stephan. Thank you. You finally admitted, but that isn’t the only reason that I proposed. No. Gimme a break. What other reason could there be the fact that I happened to love you, or is that not up to your high standards either?

You love me?

Yes, I do.

In fact, I’m very much in love with you.

What are you two doing together? Uh, we bumped into one another here. Eric told me you’ve been arrested. You must have loved hearing that. Oh, it didn’t depress me. I’ll tell you that. You know, I had to go to the ER because I couldn’t stop puking after I ate one of those poison biscuits. And Eric informed me that your brother is responsible.

I don’t know who put drugs in the biscuits. What I do know is that. The police believe that my brother’s been the one who’s been harassing Paul and her daughter. Then why are you the one that’s sitting here? They’re saying I’m an accessory because I didn’t turn colon in, which I did not even know. He was in Salem for quite a while, and after I found out, I had absolutely no idea what he was up to.

I still don’t. This whole arrest was an attempt at intimidation, and I intend to sue this department in the city. Will you knock off the amateur theatrics? It’s not like they beat you with a rubber hose. Look, I had no part in what my brother may have been doing to Mayor Carver’s family. I sought perfectly legal remedies to heal my grievances, and when that didn’t work, I gave up.

And if the cops are really gonna try and nail me on guilt by association, well, they’d better be careful because. One of their own is mixed up in this. What do you mean? I mean, I’m not the only one who’s got a sibling involved in this mess. Wait, could you be a little less cryptic? Sure. Detective Hunter has a sister named Talia and she’s up to her neck and this, come on, Talia think.

Where could Colin have taken Paul look? Okay. I don’t know. I swear. Whose photo of Mak Collins?

Oh my God. There’s photos and clippings of his parents’ death. This guy is obsessed. How could you got messed up with a guy like this? I didn’t know anything about this, his whole obsession until we were already involved. There’s a newspaper article in here about Colin’s mother falling off of a roof after a confrontation with Chanel.

Oh my God. What? I think I know where you took Paulina

baby. Isn’t that touching? You still think is your baby? Such a shame. This is gonna be the last time that you two see each other alive. College calling Ring. Shut up. No. If you’re gonna hurt her, you’re gonna have to do it. Knowing the truth from you. Your father, he wasn’t some victim. He was a predator who took advantage of an impressionable college student.

Punish the truth. He was my professor. He had the power and he pursued me, not the other way around. And yes. I slept with him and that is something I will regret for the rest of my life. But he was the one who betrayed your mother, who cheated on her, and she placed the blame on me and she learned me after that roof and she tried to kill me.

And I, I defended myself and believe me, calling If I could go back and I could change any of that, I would. But I swear to you, your mother’s death. It was an accident. A filthy liar. Now, don’t say anything. No, no. He’s made up his mind to do this terrible thing, so he’s gonna have to do it. Knowing the truth as says, I reviewed, you have a positive acquaintance with the truth, right?

That’s it. You know I was gonna let you live with the memory of watching your mom jump toward her, but that’s too good for you. So I’m gonna kill you both instead, how that,

I’m giving you five minutes. At the very least, mayor Carver has suffered a serious concussion. I’m waiting for the results on the CT scan. Okay.

What’s going on, boss? Hey, Paulita. Paulita? Yeah. Yeah. I’m gonna join the search, but I just wanted to see you first. Leave. Leave me. Find her. Find my wife. I will. I promise. Promises not find my wife.

Abe, what’s going on? Who’s yep? Abe. Abe, can you hear me? Abe?

Detective Hernandez, how is he? The CT scan revealed an intracranial hemorrhage. Okay, so that’s what caused the seizure or brain bleed? Correct. We have to get him into the OR immediately. Okay. He’s obviously not able to sign a consent form, so is there a family member who can do it? Yeah, you know, I’ll get in touch with one of his sons.

Let me know as soon as you reach somebody. Okay.

Hey, it’s me again. Abe’s going into surgery and I need to get in touch with one of his sons so that they can consent. Can you get me Theo Carver’s cell phone number fast? Okay.

Come on Theo. Be there. Your dad needs you.

You’re in love with me. Really? Is it that much of a revelation? After all, we were our loved ones before. Ah, enough to get married. Yes, I, I remember, and I have the battle scars to prove it. We’ve evolved. It’ll be different this time, I assure you.

Oh, when did it hit you that you felt this way?

I’m not sure. In these past few months, living in that house with you and Holly, it’s, it’s the happiest I’ve been in a very long time. You and I are such a good fit, Nicole. We work beautifully together. We’re madly attracted to one another. We make each other laugh. That’s love, isn’t it?

I, I don’t know what to say. Well, usually when a man tells a woman that he loves her, it’s customary for the woman to say she loves him too.

Of course, if she does,

I too care about you ej. You know that, but sure. Not in love with me

Eric. Heidi still, isn’t it?

Let me make sure I heard that right. Detective Hunter’s sister somehow got mixed up with your brother. How have you known about this? I just found out Jada let something slip when she was questioning me. I don’t think she meant to. And then she got a call from who was obviously her sister, and that’s when she rushed out of here.

I see. I don’t think I need to point out the unfairness of arresting me as an accessory. While her own sister, who very well may be in accessory, is out there running free, it’s not a good look for this department.

You could change the situation by making these bogus charges go away.

I’ve heard enough to do that. You’re free to go, but that brother of yours, he’s gonna have to answer for what he did, and so is tally hunter. It’s over. Colin. You start to pull that trigger and I’ll take you out. Step away from the legend. Let fight go. Yes. You not give a damn about what happened to me. I don’t.

There’s no way that I’m letting go of her now. Please, baby. Just listened to her. Please. Why are you doing up? You shouldn’t be here. Why did you bring her up? I trusted you. I brought her here cause you promised me that this was over. Collin, please, please don’t hurt Mrs. Christ. If you care about my sister at all, you’ll listen to her.

I don’t think you really wanna add murder to your law list of felonies. You’re on my side anymore. Are you? You ranez right, baby. I’m Don’t

What’s happening? Fuck.

Ej Eric has nothing to do with the way that I feel about you. You’re sure it’s understandable if sex with your ex-husband rekindle the old feelings. Oh my God. Eric and I had sex because we were drugged and we were both embarrassed by it. He’s moved on and so have I. I thought we settled this. And what’s keeping you from accepting my proposal?

It’s, it’s, it’s just the timings. I bet off the timing. What exactly do you mean?

Make sure you keep me posted.

I assume I can go now. You might be interested to know that your brother posed as a Department of Health inspector and met with Mayor Carver and Ms. Price at the bakery today. What happened? He attacked Mayor Carver with a blunt instrument. The mayor is in surgery right now. Oh my God. There’s more. Before he lost consciousness, Abe told Rafe Hernandez that your brother has missed price.

Who is able to make it? Okay? Luckily, Rafe found him at the bakery and he called an ambulance, so I hope he’s gonna make it through this, but nobody knows. This is a nightmare. You’re damn right it is. And you better hope that Detective Hunter can stop your brother before he can cause even more damage tonight.

And you might wanna give up the stupid vendetta that you got

and don’t leave town.

Can you please get me out of here now? Yeah, sure.

Io. Your dad is one of the strongest guys I know. If he can get the surgery, he can beat this. Yeah. Well, thank God I got in touch with you so quickly. Oh, wait a second here. Here’s the doctor. This is Abe Suno. I can vouch for that. Now, if you can give consent. Can you electronically sign the forms afterwards?

Yes. Let me talk to him. Okay. Hey, I’m gonna put you on with the doctor. Her name’s Dr. Hubbard. Okay, here she is. Mr. Carver? Yes. If we operate now, your father stands a chance of a full recovery. Do I have your consent? Thank you so much. Please sign the forms as soon as you get them. Hey, I’ll be in touch. Okay?

Please do everything you can to save his life. I will. I have to scrub in. Yeah. Okay.

Jada. Hey, it’s me again. I’m at the hospital with Abe. Please call me as soon as you get this.

Oh my God. Paulina, what’s that bastard doing to you? What’s the matter with her? Is she faking this? No, she’s done this before. Okay. She’s having a panic attack. It sorry’s, not big deal. Helen, its If you can’t breathe, Paul.

Oh my God. She’s Please help her. No, no. Back stop. Okay. I have to do something. Don’t worried about her. This is just another one of us. It started having these attacks after you and your sister made our life a nightmare. I’m sorry for her. Get yourself under control, Collin. You’re enough Trouble as it is, don’t hurt anyone else tonight

I’m just gonna shoot her and be.

Why do you need more time to decide how you feel about mej? No. You’ve, you’ve just taken me by a surprise and I, I, I have been keeping you at arm’s length, figuratively, not literally true. I have been keeping you at arm’s length. Figuratively. It’s just because things between us have had a way of not working out.

But now you’ve said something that’s changed everything

and I just, I need a little time.

Well then, um, take as much time as you need. However, I want to make it clear where I stand.

I’m in love with you, Nicole Walker, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you and Holly.

That is, I, wow. I didn’t, I did not see this coming. Get used to it.

No, it’s quite late. We should probably go to bed.

You go upstairs and I will be right there. Don’t keep me waiting too. I won’t.

He loves me

and he wants to marry me, and I can’t even think about that.

Not until I know. Whether you’re his baby

or Eric’s

number one, there’s gonna be some words about Abe. I have to find Colin, maybe I can talk him into giving himself up. I wish you would’ve trusted me enough to tell me that you saw him here in town. I’m so sorry. Look, he’s my brother and he is all the family I have left. I was just trying to protect him from me.

I didn’t know how you would react. I understand what it’s like to protect a sibling. You met my sister, Sammy, so you understand. Yes, I understand. But what I don’t understand is how you were enabling him to do the things that he was doing. Eric, I swear I had nothing to do with him harassing Paulina or Chanel.

Do you believe me? Don’t you? Yeah, I do. But if we’re gonna stay together, there can be no more secrets between us.

Those vitamins were prescribed for you, which means the only change of life you are going through is being pregnant. You’re not saying anything. Oh my God. You are pregnant.

No more secrets, I promise.

Hey, Jada, it’s me again. I still haven’t heard from you and dispatch doesn’t have a location for you. Says you went looking for your sister and Colin Bedford. Still hasn’t been spot. Are you in trouble? Do you need backup? Please call me as soon as you get this.

I told you.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

In the living room of the DiMera Mansion, EJ complains to Nicole that it’s no surprise that Gabi managed to worm her way back in to the family. Nicole knows they are going to use their wedding to bolster their image at the company. EJ then suggests maybe they will steal their thunder and upstage them. Nicole asks how, so EJ gets down on one knee and proposes to Nicole. Nicole doesn’t know what to say while EJ encourages her to say yes to being his wife.

Melinda confronts Eric at the police station and brings up when he pretended to be a paralegal. Eric informs her that he’s waiting on Sloan. Melinda asks if Sloan is in the interrogation room with one of her skeevy clients. Eric decides she’s going to find out sooner than later and reveals that Sloan has been arrested.

Sloan tells Jada that the last time she saw Colin was yesterday afternoon at the motel after he promised her that he was going to leave town. Jada asks if he gave any indication of where he was going next. Sloan complains that they’ve already been over that she doesn’t know where he is. Jada warns her to drop the attitude and says if she would’ve just turned her brother in then she wouldn’t be in this mess but now her psychotic brother is on the loose and who knows what he’ll do next. Sloan argues that he’s not dangerous and that Jada doesn’t know him. Jada responds that she knows him well enough to know that he somehow convinced her sister to do his dirty work and that makes him dangerous enough to her. Sloan questions what she is talking about. Jada says they are talking about Sloan here, so she doesn’t owe her any explanations. Sloan didn’t know Jada had a sister and wants to talk about her. Sloan decides that Jada doesn’t get to just drop a bomb like that and walk it back. Sloan questions how exactly her sister and Colin are involved.

Talia questions how Paulina’s scarf got in Colin’s hotel room and wonders what Colin has done now.

Rafe finds Abe at the Bakery and tells him he’s going to be alright as he’s calling for an ambulance. Abe urges Rafe to help Paulina. Rafe assures that he will as he calls in for the ambulance. Rafe tells Abe that they are on the way to get him help and asks if he can tell him who did this to him. Abe responds that it was a young guy who said he was a health inspector that hit him from behind and he’s got Paulina.

Chanel comes to the rooftop where Colin is holding his gun on Paulina. Paulina tells Chanel to do what he says. Colin says he’s delighted that Chanel showed up as this has all worked out perfectly. Chanel asks what he’s going to do. Colin complains that they went to great lengths to make the world believe that his mom threw herself off of a building so now the story is about to come full circle. Colin tells Chanel to say goodbye to her mom, because she’s about to jump to her death as he holds her at gunpoint. Chanel cries for him to stop. Colin complains that Paulina used her money and influence to make the world believe that his mother committed suicide. Colin declares that now Paulina is going to end her life the same way that Chanel ended his mom’s. Chanel pleads with him but Colin mocks her. Paulina argues that he needs his help as he’s out of his mind. Colin blames them for making him this way. Colin shouts that Chanel took his parents away from him, so now she’s going to watch as he takes her mom away from her.

Rafe encourages Abe to stay with him. Abe worries about Paulina being taken. Rafe assures that there’s an APB out on him already and every cop wants to find him. Abe asks who it is. Rafe informs him that it’s Colin Bedford, Sloan Peterson’s brother. The ambulance arrives as Abe loses consciousness.

Sloan demands that Jada tell her what she thinks she has on her brother. Jada says she can demand all she wants but she’s the suspect here, so she asks the questions. Sloan argues that she’s charging her as an accessory, so if her sister is involved, she can’t be objective. Jada gets a call from Talia, who says she really needs her help as she thinks she really messed up. Jada tells her to come to the station but Talia says she needs to come to her. Talia tells her to come to room 514 at the Salem Inn and to hurry. Jada responds that she’s on her way. Sloan asks what about her. Jada tells her to stay put. Sloan questions where the hell she is going as Jada exits the room. Melinda tries to ask Jada for an explanation on Sloan’s arrest but Jada rushes out of the station. Melinda then questions if Eric has a thing for obnoxious women since he’s been with Nicole, Jada, and now Sloan.

EJ tells Nicole that he needs an answer. Nicole asks EJ to get up. EJ questions what’s wrong as he thought she liked being spontaneous. EJ jokingly asks if she wants a grand proposal. Nicole suggests a simple and sincere proposal of marriage. EJ decides to try again and asks Nicole to marry him, but she says no. Nicole questions why she would even think of marrying a cynical, opportunistic jackass. EJ questions her not just rejecting his proposal, but calling him names. Nicole remarks that he’s lucky that she didn’t knee him in the family jewels. Nicole suggests that next time, he comes prepared with a ring. EJ asks if that’s why she rejected him. Nicole says no, so EJ questions what the problem is here then. Nicole argues that it wasn’t heartfelt. EJ claims he had the purest intentions when he asked her to marry him. Nicole argues that the only reason EJ proposed to her is because Stefan proposed to Gabi.

Eric asks if he can go in to talk to Sloan but Melinda says no. Melinda asks if Jada arrested Sloan because she finally has proof that Sloan poisoned the biscuits. Eric says it’s quite the opposite as Jada and Rafe now know for fact that someone else laced those biscuits. Melinda asks who that is but Eric doesn’t answer. Melinda decides she’s going to talk to Sloan then. Eric asks her to leave Sloan alone. Melinda suggests then Eric tell her what she wants to know and then she will let him be in there when she talks to her.

Jada goes to see Talia and demands that she tell her everything she knows about Colin. Jada reveals that she already knows Colin is Sloan’s brother. Talia asks how she found out. Jada reminds her that she’s a cop and questions Talia helping Colin harass Chanel and Paulina this whole time. Jada shouts that their father would be so ashamed. Talia tells her to stop yelling at her and to listen. Talia tells Jada that she has to stop Colin from hurting Paulina. Jada asks what he has done. Talia cries that Colin swore that he was done going after them, but then she found Paulina’s scarf in the room. Jada questions if Colin stole it. Talia doesn’t think so, so Jada asks what she does think. Talia believes Paulina was in the room with Colin. Jada questions where the hell they are now.

Rafe goes to the hospital with Abe and makes a call about the APB on Colin. Rafe orders the units to look harder as he’s pretty sure Colin attacked Abe and kidnapped Paulina, so he should be considered armed and dangerous.

Paulina tells Colin that they can work this out and tells him to name his price. Colin argues that he doesn’t want her dirty money, he wants his parents back and since she can’t give him that, he wants justice. Paulina says he’s out of his mind if he thinks she’s jumping off the roof. Colin decides that he’ll get justice another way then, by making her watch her daughter die.

Nicole questions EJ not saying anything. EJ mocks her tender sensibilities for deciding his proposal was a business maneuver. Nicole points out that EJ was desperate to find a way to upstage Stefan and Gabi. EJ then admits it did have something to do with Gabi and Stefan, but it’s not the only reason he proposed. Nicole asks what other reason there could be. EJ responds that he happens to love her and asks if that’s not up to her high standards either. Nicole is surprised and questions EJ saying he loves her. EJ assures that he does and declares that he’s very much in love with her.

Melinda brings Eric in to the interrogation room. Sloan questions what they are doing together. Melinda explains that they bumped in to each other here and Eric told her that Sloan was arrested. Sloan bets she loved hearing that. Melinda brings up getting sick from the drugged biscuits and that Eric told her that Sloan’s brother is behind it. Sloan responds that she doesn’t know who put the drugs in the biscuits, but the police believe that her brother has been harassing Paulina and Chanel. Melinda questions why Sloan is the one here then. Sloan responds that they say she’s an accessory for not turning Colin in. Sloan argues that she had no idea that he was in town until recently while she had no idea what he was up to and still doesn’t. Sloan complains that her whole arrest was an attempt at intimidation, so she intends to sue the department and the city. Sloan argues that she sought legal remedies for her problems with Chanel and Paulina and when that didn’t work, she gave up. Sloan adds that if the cops really try to nail on her on guilt by association, then they better be careful because one of their own is involved in this. Eric asks what she means. Sloan responds that she’s not the only one who has a sibling involved in this mess. Melinda asks her to be less cryptic. Sloan then reveals that Jada’s sister Talia is up to her neck in this.

Jada urges Talia to think of where Colin could have taken Paulina. Talia swears that she doesn’t know. Jada finds Colin’s family photo album and looks through it, seeing photos and clippings of his parents’ death. Jada states that he’s obsessed and asks how Talia could get involved with a guy like this. Talia argues that she didn’t know until after they were involved. Jada finds an article about Colin’s mother falling off a roof after a confrontation with Chanel. Talia then realizes that she might know where Colin took Paulina.

Paulina pleads with Colin not to hurt Chanel. Chanel tells Colin that he has to know the truth that his father wasn’t a victim, but a predator who took advantage of his student. Chanel argues that he pursued her and admits that she slept with him which is something that she will regret for the rest of her life. Chanel cries that Colin’s father cheated on his mother, so his mother lured her to the roof to try and kill her and she just defended herself. Chanel adds that if she could go back and change any of it, she would. Chanel swears that his mother’s death was an accident. Colin calls it lies. Chanel shouts that Colin will be doing this, knowing the truth. Colin declares that he was going to let Chanel live with the memory of her mother jumping to her death but now he’s going to kill them both.

A nurse gives Rafe five minutes to visit with Abe in the hospital, noting that Abe has a concussion and she’s waiting on the results from the CT scan. Abe calls out for Paulina. Rafe says he’s going to join the search but he wanted to see Abe first. Abe urges Rafe to leave him and find his wife. Rafe promises that he will. Abe shouts for Rafe to find his wife as he begins to have a seizure and his monitors start beeping, causing the nurse to rush in and check on him. Afterwards, the nurse steps out of the room with Rafe and explains that the CT scan showed a brain bleed caused the seizure and they have to get Abe in to the operating room immediately. She notes that Abe obviously can’t sign the consent form so she asks if a family member can do it. Rafe says he’ll get in touch with one of his sons, so the nurse says to let her know when he does. Rafe then makes a call to get Theo’s number.

Nicole questions EJ being in love with her. EJ asks if it’s really that much of a revelation since they were in love and married before. Nicole says she remembers and has the battle scars to prove it. EJ assures it will be different this time. Nicole asks when it hit him that he felt this way. EJ admits he’s not sure but the past few months with her and Holly has been the happiest he’s been in a long time. EJ says they are a good fit, madly attracted to each other, and they make each other laugh. Nicole doesn’t know what to say. EJ suggests she say that she loves him too, if she does. Nicole responds that she does care about him. EJ takes that as she’s not in love with him. EJ guesses it’s still because of Eric Brady.

Melinda questions Sloan telling her that Jada’s sister somehow got involved with her brother. Eric asks how long she’s known about this. Sloan explains that she just found out when Jada let something slip while questioning her and then she got a call from her sister and rushed out. Sloan points out the unfairness of arresting her as an accessory while her own sister may be an accessory and is out running free. Sloan warns that it’s not a good look for the department. Sloan points out that Melinda could change the situation by making these bogus charges go away. Melinda decides that she’s heard enough to do that and tells Sloan that she’s free to go, but her brother is going to have to answer for what he did and so is Talia Hunter.

Jada and Talia find Colin with Paulina and Chanel on the rooftop. Jada tells Colin that it’s over and warns that she will pull her trigger if he doesn’t let Paulina go. Colin responds that he doesn’t give a damn what happens to him. Talia pleads with Colin to listen. Colin questions what she’s doing here and why she brought Jada, shouting that he trusted her. Talia cries that Colin promised her that this was over. Talia pleads with Colin to let Paulina go. Jada says Colin will listen to Talia if he cares about her at all. Jada warns that he doesn’t want to add murderer to his long list of crimes. Paulina begins having a panic attack while Colin holds her at gunpoint and he questions what is wrong with her.

Nicole tells EJ that Eric has nothing to do with the way that she feels about him. EJ asks if she’s sure as he would understand if sex with her ex husband rekindled her old feelings. Nicole assures that that was only because they were drugged, they were both embarrassed and have both moved on. Nicole says she thought they settled this. EJ questions what is keeping her from accepting his proposal then. Nicole states that the timing is just a bit off. EJ asks what exactly she means.

Melinda finishes a call as Sloan asks if she can go now. Melinda informs Sloan that Colin posed a health inspector and met with Paulina and Abe at the Bakery, where he attacked Abe with a blunt instrument and Abe is now in surgery. Melinda adds that Abe told Rafe that Colin has Paulina. Eric asks if Abe is going to make it. Melinda confirms that Rafe called an ambulance, so she hopes Abe will make it through this but nobody knows. Sloan calls this a nightmare. Melinda warns that she better hope that Jada can stop Colin before he causes any more damage tonight. Melinda advises Sloan to give up this stupid vendetta and tells her not to leave town as she then exits the station. Sloan asks Eric to get her out of here now, so they exit together.

Rafe calls Theo and encourages him that Abe can get the surgery and beat this. Rafe gives the phone to the doctor, so that Theo can give consent for Abe’s surgery. She tells Theo that if they operate now, Abe stands a chance at full recovery. She thanks him and asks Theo to sign the forms electronically when he gets them. Rafe thanks Theo and hangs up. Rafe asks the doctor to do everything she can to save Abe’s life as she goes to prepare for surgery. Rafe tries calling Jada again and leaves a message that he’s at the hospital with Abe and for her to call him when she gets the message. Rafe wonders what Colin is doing to Paulina.

Colin questions if Paulina is faking. Talia tries to explain the panic attack as it happened before. Paulina begins passing out. Chanel screams for Talia to help her. Jada tells Talia to stay back but Talia shouts that she’s a doctor and has to help. Colin argues that it could just be another stunt. Chanel screams that Paulina started having these attacks after Colin and Sloan started making her life miserable. Jada warns Colin to get under control as he’s in enough trouble as it is. Colin then grabs Chanel and holds her at gunpoint.

EJ questions why Nicole needs more time to decide how she feels about him. Nicole says he’s just taken her by surprise and admits she has been keeping him at arms length because things between them have had a way of not working out, but now he’s said something that changed everything so she needs a little time. EJ tells her to take as much time as she needs. EJ wants to make it clear that he’s in love with her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her and Holly. Nicole admits she did not see this coming. EJ tells her to get used to it as they kiss. EJ points out that it’s late, so she should get to bed. Nicole tells EJ to go upstairs and she’ll be right there. EJ tells her not to keep him waiting too long as they kiss and he then heads upstairs. Nicole says to herself that EJ loves her and wants to marry her but she can’t even think about that until she knows whether her baby is EJ’s or Eric’s.

Eric and Sloan walk through the town square. Eric wonders when they will hear word on Abe. Sloan wants to find Colin and try to convince him to give himself up. Eric wishes she would’ve trusted him enough to tell him that she saw Colin in town. Sloan apologizes and says Colin is the only family she has left, so she was just trying to protect him. Sloan admits she didn’t know how he’d react. Eric relates with his sister Sami, but he doesn’t understand how Sloan was enabling Colin to do the things that he was doing. Sloan swears that she had nothing to do with Colin harassing Paulina and Chanel. Eric says he believes her, but if they are going to stay together then there can be no more secrets between them. Sloan thinks back to discovering that Nicole is pregnant. Sloan then promises Eric no more secrets as she hugs him.

Rafe tries calling Jada again and says he still hasn’t heard from her while dispatch has no location for her. Rafe notes that Melinda said Jada went looking for her sister. Rafe wonders if Jada is in trouble and needs backup.

Jada screams for Colin to drop the gun. Chanel drops to the ground with Paulina as Talia then rushes Colin and begins fighting with Colin over the gun. Jada screams for Talia to take cover and let her do this. Jada and Chanel scream while Talia and Colin continue to struggle with each other for the gun. Talia and Colin then both end up falling over the ledge and off the roof of the building!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, that was a fun day at the office. Yeah. My favorite part was getting to see EJ taking hiss anger management classes. I thought his vein was gonna pop the entire time. My favorite part was sensitivity training. I think I actually saw ejs soul leave his body. Oh really? I didn’t think he had a soul. Ah, touche.

Oh my God, I can’t believe this.

Gimme those prenatal vitamins. What are you doing with these? That stupid cow. Better keep her mouth shut.

Hello, darling.

Why are you asking about my brother? Brother? Is Colin Bedford correct? Yes. When was the last time you spoke to him? I left him a message this morning. He hasn’t gotten back to me. Any particular reason why you’re reaching out? He’s my brother. Isn’t that reason enough? What’s going on here? I mean, why are you so interested in son’s brother?

Well, we have reason to believe that he’s the one who’s been terrorizing Paulina and Chanel.

What, what is it? Talia, what did you wanna confess? Look, I haven’t been completely honest with you about my feelings. You’re having second thoughts about being with a woman, right? No, no, no. It, it’s nothing like that. Okay.

I don’t, I don’t know how to tell you. Just, just say it, whatever it is, we’ll work through it.

The only reason that I kissed you as sweet bits, and the only reason that I asked you out is because someone put me up to it. What? What? What do you mean someone put you up to it? Ooh,

my boyfriend.

You stay away from Abraham. You hear me? Get back. I didn’t wanna hurt your husband. But he was in the way. Oh, are you? What do you want? I’ll explain everything, but you have to come with me. Oh, hell no. Are you crazy? I’m not going anywhere with You. Wanna rethink that?

Like Sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Look, I understand why he might suspect Sloan’s brother, but you were way off base. And why is that? Because for one thing, Colin isn’t even near Salem. That’s right. He’s not. As far as I know, well, you’re either lying to us or you’re misinformed because up until yesterday, he was right here in town staying at the White Dove Motel.

What? Yeah, he’s been renting a room there now for several weeks. You really expect us to believe that he hasn’t made contact with you

boyfriend. Yeah, the, the one that I told you about, the one from New York, Colin. Wait, I thought you said he was your ex. Yeah, I know what I said. Okay. But we’re still together. Okay. But if, if you’re still seeing him, then why would he want you to hook up with me? Oh wait. Is he looking for a threesome? Cuz been there, done that?

No, no. It, it’s noth, it’s nothing like that. Okay.

He wanted me to break your heart. What. Well, I don’t understand. Why would he wanna do something so cruel? I, I don’t even know him. I know you don’t, but he knows you.

He’s Sloan Peterson’s brother.

Bye. I will go with you, but first just let me call an ambulance for Abraham. Please, please. I promise I won’t say anything. I over the phone. No, but please. I said hand it over.

Good. Now let’s move. But, but about Abe, that that rolling pen could have seriously damaged his brain. Now he could die. He didn’t give a damn about my family. Why should I give a damn about yours? What your family, how would I know about your family? For heaven sake? What are you talking about? I just said I’ll explain everything.

Now. Let’s go Rob Abraham. I love him. Sorry, I have to leave you, but. Please hang you. That’s go please you taking that baby. Okay. I love you.

Can everything okay? Yeah. It’s just a surprise, a good one. I hope. It’s my divorce papers from Lee. Look like. Yeah, it looks like he already signed them. That was fast. I mean, he said he wouldn’t fight it. I wasn’t so sure. But, um, how does it look? Everything on the up and up? Yeah. Everything looks good so far.

I mean, my lawyer still has to look it over, but I mean, once I sign it and have them filed, I’m a free woman. Not for long. What’s that face? What. What are you up to? Well, I was going to wait until, uh, we were in a more romantic setting, but, um, I’m seeing you like this. Happy with a little smile on your face.

I, uh, couldn’t think of a more first perfect time. Stephen, are you.

Gabriela Hernandez, I love you more than anything on the planet, and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you. So will you please once again do me the honor of becoming my wife.

This is, uh, nothing. Just, uh, some medication that Kayla prescribed to me. Oh, right. Yes. For your condition, condition, you make it sound like I’m dying. Sorry. I I I know it’s not a big deal. No, it’s not a big deal. Every woman goes through menopause and I think it’s sexist as hell that men think a, a woman is for the hill.

When she’s in it and fyi, I am not. You’re not. Then why did you say that you were?

I’ll ask you again, Sloan. Have you made any contact with your brother? Look, even if he were in town, it doesn’t mean he is the one going after Paulina and Chanel. Well, he certainly has motive. What do you have? Do you have any actual evidence to implicate him? Mm. You know it’s an ongoing investigation. In other words, a witch hunt.

Erica, let’s go. They’ve wasted enough of our time. Sloane, I know you want to protect your brother. Trust me. I get it. But you’re not doing him any favors by covering up for him. Well, maybe she’s also covering for herself. She’s been working with Colin all along. No. What? You clearly know more than you letting on son what Kip is responsible for any of these crimes.

You didn’t do yourself a favor and tell the truth if anything worse happens.

Truth. Truth is person who’s been committing these crimes. Against Pauline and Chanel. It is my brother. He’s calling.

You need to let me go. Nah, I don’t think so. I’m sure somebody saw you force me to walk over here. They’re going to call the police. That alleyway was deserted and we came up the back entrance. Now, sit down. Look, listen Colin, I don’t care what you do to me, but please send Abraham some help. Dear God. Let’s give him a fighting chance.

I bang of you. We don’t have time for that. Have a lot to accomplish tonight. Accomplish, what does that mean?

I wanna show you something.

Your boyfriend, Sloan Peterson’s brother. Yeah. So, so, so that means that he’s Nathan and Martha’s son. Yeah. Look, he’s so traumatized about what happened. Okay? He blames you for his parents’ death, just like his sister does. But while SONG was pursuing legal avenues to get back to you, Colin had his own plan and it involved us moving here to Salem.

So when you applied for the job at the bakery, you knew who I was.

Kyle had already told me all about DJ and one of his friends words For me to get PU you so you can lead me on and break my heart. Yes. But that wasn’t his only goal. Oh my God. He’s the one who’s been harassing mama and me. And you, you were helping him.

Oh my God. I was not expecting this. I mean, I thought at some point we would get married again, but Well, if you think it’s too soon, we can pump the brakes. No, no, no, no, no, no. Of course not. I just, I didn’t think this was even on your radar. Are you kidding me? Ever since I got outta Rose Spell, it’s all I’ve been dreaming about.

And I found out you had that contract with Lee to stay married. I mean, you were the one that told me to stick with it for those stupid Demer shares. I know. And that was my mistake. I admit that. And now I realize that no shares nothing is worth not being able to hug you. To kiss you, to make love to you again.

And now we are so close to where we were before we got torn apart, except we’re not husband and wife. So are you gonna leave me down here on bending me all day? You gonna gimme an answer? Yes. Yes. A times, yes, of course. Yes. I’ll marry you. Oh my gosh.

Oh my God. What I meant was I met in perimenopause, not menopause. Okay. It’s the early stages isn’t, not practically the same thing. No. It’s your friends and why are you making such a big deal out of it? Wow. I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. I didn’t know this was such a touchy subject for you. Well, yeah, because of people’s attitudes about it, especially men, like I said, it’s pretty misogynistic.

Don’t you think? Let’s make it sound like women can’t have babies anymore, so we should put ’em out to pasture.

The only place I would put you is in my bed for a good old fashioned. Ravishing, might you be interested? Mm, I suppose

I just saw you numb. I find you incredibly desirable. In fact, I don’t think you’ve ever looked sexy yet.

How long have you known it was your brother? I only found out yesterday. I swear it, I, I overheard you and Dana speaking at the stations. Something about a shifty guy named Colin speaking in a British accent kind of just fell into place for me, which is when I went to the motel to confront him. You admitted to everything.

Yeah. He’s determined to avenge our parents, especially after the legal system failed us. But he didn’t want me to know, you know, he knew I would. Disapprove and try to talk him out of it, which I did. And that’s when I told him to leave town immediately and otherwise I was gonna turn him in. Did he say if he was working alone?

I mean, I assumed he was. He didn’t mention anybody else. Where’s Colin now? I don’t know. Didn’t you say something about, I don’t know, he checked out of his motel. Where did he go? Did he go back to New York or London? He didn’t say Uhhuh won’t put out an A p B. Hopefully he hasn’t gotten too far. In the meantime, we’ll settle for you.

Oh,

you recognize the family. I don’t need to. You are Nathan and Bedford son. Sloan’s baby brother. How’d you figure it out? Once I had the chance to think clearly, it wasn’t so hard to put it together, especially considering you got so prickly about the sweet bits when we had that talk about the incident in London.

So tell me, have you been, you’ve been working with Sloan this whole time? No, my sister has nothing to do with this. This is all my plan. Look, oh, Colin. Now you know, I think I know you. You must have been traumatized. You know about your parents. Yo, your mother’s death. It was a terrible tragedy, but it’s not what you think.

I swear. Stop. Just shut up. Right? Just let me explain. I’ve heard your side of this story. Now it’s time. You,

your sister suspected this. She thought you were the one behind all the terrible things that have happened, and she was right. You have been working with Colin this whole time. Admit it. Yes, it’s true. Okay. And and Sloan was in on it? No, no, no. It, it was just me and Colin. Oh. But he just let his sister take the blame.

She’s a good lawyer. He figured that she’d exonerate herself. Right, right, right, right. So, well, we were all ready to torch Sloan at the stake. You guys were able to just fly under the radar. You broke into mama’s office and you sent those threatening messages. She started having panic attacks because of you.

Listen minute, it was supposed to happen. Okay? Nobody was supposed to get seriously, or I swear, Chanel. They were just supposed to be harmless breaks, was spiking those biscuits, harmless. Talia, you’re a damn doctor. You know that Those were just some pranks. Someone could have died, but they didn’t. Look, we only had sit there for your business to get shot only.

Only you knew how much that place meant to me, how hard I’ve worked for it. I thought you were my friend. I, I thought that you were more than a friend.

How could you do this to me?

Ugh. Ew. Gross. Oh, very mature. Gabriela. Very mature. You know what? I apologize. Everybody deserves love in their lives, even You too. Yeah. She’s up to something. Mm-hmm. I swear if you sent way Shin, another glowing review of stepping from my computer. No, no, no. Don’t worry. Your reviews are about to become moot.

See? No one’s gonna care about either of your opinions anymore, especially once they see what we’ve cooked up. Oh, what are you rambling on about now? I think we should tell ’em. Tell us what? Stephanie and I are engaged. We are, and once we’re married, we’re gonna run the family company together as Mr. And Mrs.

Tamara.

Okay. What are you talking about? I just told you I have nothing to do with my brother’s crimes except you admitted that you knew about them and advised him to flee, which makes you. An accessory after the fact, right? Well, I just handed you your entire case, so I thought you would cut me a break and you damn well should Sloane cooperated.

She told you everything. She knew that she had to be determined and I still have a lot more questions to ask her, which she can answer down at the station. Besides. Once Colin hears that she’s been arrested, maybe he’ll come forward. Take responsibility. Wait, this isn’t necessary. She said she would turn Colin in if he did anything else.

Sloane Peterson, you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used in a court of law against you. You have a right to have a lawyer with you during questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you.

That photo was taken in Barcelona. Yeah, we were on a family holiday and Sloan had just come back from law school. She was on a break. I was a tad cheesed off. I had to be away from my mates. I, oh, we’re still pretty mighty when we came across this, uh, this huge fountain.

They were musicians playing nearby. My dad just, we grabbed my mom and he started dancing. By the end of the song, they were in the middle of the founding laughing, splashing around. You know, I was, I was embarrassed. But that is how they were my parents deeply enough, which is how I know that you and your daughter are lying.

That’s a, a beautiful memory, but take it from someone who’s lived a lot longer than you. Relationships they change. People change now, not my parents. The love they had was real. We had a real family until you come along, you were raised it. You rewrote our story when you coming up your daughter’s crimes. I suddenly went from having two loving parents.

A suicidal mother and a predatory dad. Your father was a predator. He took advantage of a young girl. Here you go. Just distorting the truth again. That young girl, she sted him. She lured him into having an affair. Rich by the way. He deeply regretted, but she was relentless. She was ruthless. Oh, and, and by the way, a cold bloody murderer.

Now, now it’s time as Chanel. Guess exactly what she deserves. What do you, what do you mean? What did you do to my daughter? I’m worry. She’s not in any immediate danger. How about you?

Oh. My God, you’ve been playing me this whole time pretending to be my friend, pretending to be interested in me. No, Chanel please. You have to understand, okay, Colin convinced me that you were this awful monster that tried to seduce his father and killed his mother. That’s not what happened. I know that now.

Okay. When I heard your side of the story, trust me, I started to have my doubts, especially when I got to know you. I couldn’t imagine how someone so kind could do something so evil, but that didn’t stop. You did it. No. You just kept going along with Colin’s twisted schemes. Because, okay. He convinced me that he couldn’t live without getting justice for his parents.

Okay. Chanel, I love him. How? How could you love someone like that? Someone who would set out to destroy people’s lives? I don’t know. I thought he was justified. Somehow, no. No. There is no way to justify what he did. He is a freaking psycho. And for you, so now I’m sorry. I already hear it. Just get out. I said get out now.

I never wanna see you again.

You know, as much as I loved our first wedding, Stephen, small, intimate, I think, I think we should go big for this one. Invite everybody we know, including all major players at Damer. Of course, I agree. Prove to everybody we’re a true power couple. Actually, it will prove to them that you’re a fool, Stephan, that you fell prey to this gold diggers lies yet.

Oh, it’s again, wow. Ignore my brother. He just can’t stand to see us. Happy. No. Thank you. Mm. That’s new. I’ve never seen you. Pass up a drink. Oh, well that’s because it don’t feel like celebrating your un holly Union. That makes two of us. Well, Gabby, more champagne for us. Let’s ditch these. Debbie Downers, shall we?

Mm-hmm.

Oh,

take a seat. Come on, Judy. You know, she doesn’t deserve anymore. Jail over this. That’ll be up to the DA to decide if she wants to press charges. But in the meantime, I need to do my job. So if you can please step outside. You can’t question her without a lawyer. I know how this works here. It’s okay, Eric, but thank you.

I, I’ve got this. Okay. I’ll be right outside this door if you need anything.

I am glad you decided to cooperate. Not that it’s done May much good so far. Wolf, you help us find your brother, then I’m sure it’ll help your case. So let’s start from the beginning.

Maybe you can do something about this. First,

I’m ordering all units to be on the lookout for Colin Bedford. If anyone sees or hears anything, hit me immediately.

Hey Abe, what’s up? I, you need help. Hey, what’s happening? Where are you? Oh, I was attacked. Sweet, sweet pets. I’m on my way. Caller, we need to talk.

Where are you?

It’s cold up here. I forgot my scarf. Yeah, he won’t be needing it. It’s ain’t gonna take long. Why did you bring us up here? You were blowing so much hot air back in a room. We can both breathe fair air, can’t we? Oh, you realized that you couldn’t fire your gun in the room cause everybody could hear you.

You, you brought us up here to shoot me. Am I right?

Oh my God. I have to warn Mama.

Mama, I, I have something important to tell you. Uh, I finally figured out who’s been harassing us. It’s Talia and, and she’s working with Stone’s brother. His name is Colin. Nice to meet you. Chanel. What the hell did you do with mama? She’s fine,

but if you want her to stay that way, you’re gonna have to follow my instructions very carefully.

As much as I enjoyed rubbing our good news in EJ and Nicole’s faces, I’m glad it’s just the two of us again, you know, that’s I, I just wanna be surrounded by happy vibes right now. Me too. To our second marriage, may it be filled with as much laughter. And love unless death than the first. I will drink to that, right?

Ooh. Oh, oops. Oh no. Can’t let that champagne go to, oh no. You know what, actually I think. Think you missed the spot. Oh, that looks like I did

conniving. Bitch. Did it again.

Are you gonna drink yours? No. If you have it.

Not that it’s a surprise that she managed to warm her way back in the family. Yeah, and, and now she and Stephan are gonna use their wedding to bolster their image at the company.

Or maybe, or maybe will steal their thunder, upstage them. How?

Nicole Walker, will you marrying me?

Hey, what happened? Are you all right? Yeah. Ena help. Help her. Help. Help a yeah.

Mama Chanel for just in time.

So the last time you saw Colin was yesterday afternoon at the motel? Yes. After he promised me he was gonna leave town. Did he give any indication of where he would be going next? We’ve already been over this. Okay. I dunno where he is.

Drop the attitude. Sloan, if you would’ve turned your brother in right away, you wouldn’t even be in this mess. But instead, your psychotic brother is out on the loose and who knows what he’ll do next. He’s not dangerous. Okay. You don’t know him. I know him well enough to know that he somehow convinced my sister to do his little dirty work.

That makes him dangerous enough for me. Your sister, what are you talking about?

Call number one, everything. This hope. Don’t hate this.

What’s up? This is Paul Scarf. What is he doing here?

Stay away from my mom. Stay back. Do what he says, baby girl. Everything. It’ll be all right. You know, Chanel. I’m glad you called. I haven’t initially thought of inviting you to this party, but Well, I’m delighted that you showed up. Yeah, yeah. This has all worked out perfectly. What are you gonna do? You two bitches went to great lengths to make the world believe that my mom threw herself off the side of a building and now, The story’s gonna come full circle.

No, say goodbye to your mom. Chanel. She’s about to jump to her death.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Stefan and Gabi return to their room, commenting on their day at work and joking about EJ’s anger management classes and sensitivity training. Gabi opens an envelope from the mail and says she can’t believe this.

Nicole enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion and pours a glass of water to take her pre-natal vitamins with. Nicole thinks back to running in to Sloan at the hospital and remarks that she better keep her mouth shut. EJ then walks in and greets her, then asks what the vitamins are for.

Sloan questions Rafe and Jada wanting to talk about her brother. Rafe identifies him as Colin Bedford while Jada asks when Sloan last spoke to him. Sloan responds that she left him a message this morning but he hasn’t gotten back to her. Jada asks if there was any particular reason she was reaching out. Sloan questions if being her brother is not reason enough. Eric asks what’s going on here and why they are so interested in Sloan’s brother. Rafe explains that they have reason to believe that he is the one who has been terrorizing Paulina and Chanel.

Chanel asks what Talia wants to confess. Talia responds that she hasn’t been completely honest with her about her feelings. Chanel guesses Talia is having second thoughts about being with a woman. Talia says it’s nothing like that but she doesn’t know how to tell her. Chanel says they will work through whatever it is. Talia then reveals that the only reason she kissed her and asked her out is because someone put her up to it. Chanel questions what she means and who it was. Talia admits it was her boyfriend.

Paulina shouts at Colin to stay away from Abe. Colin argues that he didn’t want to hurt Abe but he got in the way. Paulina questions who he is and what he wants. Colin says he will explain everything but she has to come with him. Paulina calls him crazy and says she’s not going anywhere with him. Colin then pulls a gun and warns that she might want to rethink that.

Eric understands why they might suspect Sloan’s brother but says they are way off base because Colin isn’t anywhere near Salem. Sloan agrees that he’s not as far as she knows. Jada responds that they are either lying to them or misinformed, because up until yesterday, he was right here in town and staying at the White Dove Motel. Rafe adds that Colin has been renting a room there for several weeks and questions Sloan expecting them to believe that he hasn’t made contact with her.

Chanel questions Talia about her boyfriend. Talia says it’s the one from New York that she told him about, Colin. Chanel thought she said that was her ex. Talia knows what she said but reveals they are still together. Chanel questions if they are still together then why he would want her to hook up with her. Chanel asks if he’s looking for a threesome but Talia says it’s nothing like that. Talia reveals that he wanted her to break Chanel’s heart. Chanel doesn’t understand why he’d want to do something so cruel when she doesn’t even know him. Talia responds that she doesn’t, but he knows her. Talia then reveals that he is Sloan’s brother which shocks Chanel.

Paulina agrees to go with Colin but asks to call an ambulance for Abe first. Colin demands she hand over her phone, so she does. Paulina asks about Abe and worries that he could die. Colin remarks that she didn’t give a damn about his family and asks why he should give a damn about her family. Paulina questions how she would know his family and what he’s talking about. Colin repeats that he will explain everything. Paulina cries that she’s sorry she has to leave Abe as Colin forces her out of the bakery.

Stefan asks Gabi if everything is okay. Gabi says she’s just surprised as it’s her divorce papers from Li and it looks like he already signed them. Stefan notes that was fast. Gabi wasn’t sure that he wouldn’t fight it. Stefan asks how it looks. Gabi says her lawyer still has to look it over but once she signs it and has it filed, she’s a free woman. Stefan says not for long. Gabi asks what he’s up to. Stefan says he was going to wait until they were in a more romantic setting, but after seeing her happy like this, he couldn’t think of a more perfect time. Stefan tells Gabi that he loves her more than anything on the planet and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Stefan gets down on one knee and asks Gabi to again do him the honor of becoming his wife.

Nicole claims to EJ that she was just taking some medication that Kayla prescribed to her. EJ remembers her condition while Nicole remarks that he makes it sound like she’s dying. EJ calls it no big deal. Nicole agrees and argues that it’s sexist for men to think women are over the hill when they are in menopause which Nicole says she is not, so EJ questions why she said she was.

Rafe asks Sloan again if she’s made any contact with her brother. Sloan says even if he was in town, it doesn’t mean he is the one going after Paulina and Chanel. Rafe points out that he certainly has motive. Sloan angrily questions if they have any actual evidence to implicate him. Rafe calls it an ongoing investigation. Sloan calls it a witch hunt. Sloan tells Eric that they’ve wasted enough of their time. Jada knows she wants to protect her brother, but warns that she’s not doing him any favors by covering up for him. Rafe suggests maybe Sloan is also covering herself and she’s been working with Colin all along. Sloan denies that but Jada says she clearly knows more than she’s letting on. Eric advises Sloan to tell the truth if Colin is responsible, before anything worse happens. Sloan then breaks down crying and admits it was Colin who committed the crimes against Paulina and Chanel.

Colin brings Paulina to his hotel room. Paulina tells him to let her go but Colin refuses. Paulina says she’s sure someone saw him force her to walk over here so they are going to call the police. Colin insists that it was deserted and they came in the back entrance. Paulina pleads with him to send Abe some help to give him a fighting chance. Colin says they don’t have time for that as he has a lot to accomplish tonight. Paulina questions what that means. Colin says he wants to show her something.

Chanel questions Talia’s boyfriend being Sloan’s brother which means he is Nathan and Martha’s son. Talia confirms that is true and explains that Colin is still traumatized by what happened and blames Chanel for his parents’ death. Talia adds that while Sloan was pursuing legal action to get back at her, Colin had this whole plan. Chanel realizes that Talia knew who she was when she signed up for the bakery. Talia admits that one of Colin’s plans was for her to get close to her, so she could lead her on and break her heart. Talia adds that it wasn’t Colin’s only goal. Chanel realizes that Colin is the one who has been harassing her and Paulina, and that Talia was helping him.

Gabi tells Stefan that she was not expecting this. Stefan says they can pump the brakes if it’s too soon. Gabi says she just didn’t think it was on their radar. Stefan says it has been ever since he got out from Dr. Rolf’s spell but she was under Li’s contract. Stefan realizes that no DiMera Shares or anything are worth not being able to hug, kiss, and make love to her again. Stefan declares that now they are so close to where they were when they got torn apart. Stefan jokes that he’s still waiting for an answer. Gabi agrees to marry him and accepts his proposal as they kiss.

Nicole claims to EJ that she meant that she’s only in the early stages of menopause. EJ asks if they aren’t the same thing. Nicole insists that they are different and questions EJ making a big deal out of it. EJ apologizes as he didn’t know it was such a touchy subject for her. Nicole complains that it’s because of men’s attitudes about it. EJ kisses her and suggests they head to the bedroom. EJ adds that he still finds her incredibly desirable and says she’s never looked sexier as they kiss.

Rafe asks Sloan how long she has known it was her brother. Sloan swears that she just found out yesterday when she overheard them talking at the station about a shifty guy named Colin with a British accent, so it sort of fell in to place for her. Sloan admits she went to the motel to confront him. Rafe asks if Colin admitting everything. Sloan confirms that Colin was determined to get justice for their parents after the legal system failed them, but he didn’t want her to know because he knew she would try to talk him out of it, which she did, and that’s when she told him to leave town immediately or else she would turn him in. Jada asks if he said he was working alone. Sloan says she assumed he was because he didn’t mention anyone else. Rafe asks where Colin is now. Sloan doesn’t know since he checked out of the motel. Jada asks if he went back to New York or London. Sloan admits he didn’t say. Rafe decides they will put out an APB and hope he didn’t get in far. Rafe adds that in the meantime, they will settle for Sloan.

Abe starts to regain consciousness on the floor of the Bakery.

Colin shows Paulina a family photo. Paulina realizes he is Nathan and Martha’s son and Sloan’s baby brother. Paulina asks if he’s been working with Sloan this whole time. Colin says Sloan has nothing to do with this and this was all his plan. Paulina understands he must have been traumatized by what happened to his parents and calls it a terrible tragedy but swears it’s not what he thinks. Colin tells her to shut up . Paulina wants to explain. Colin argues that he’s heard her side of the story, now it’s time that she hears his.

Chanel argues that Jada suspected this and she was right that Talia was working with Colin this whole time. Talia cries that it’s true. Chanel asks if Sloan was in on it but Talia says it was just her and Colin. Chanel questions letting Sloan take the blame. Talia explains that she’s a lawyer, so they figured she would exonerate herself. Chanel argues that they were all ready to torch Sloan at the stake while they flew under the radar. Chanel realizes Talia broke in to Paulina’s office and shouts that she is the reason that Paulina started having panic attacks. Talia cries that it wasn’t supposed to happen and swears nobody was supposed to get seriously hurt. Chanel argues that someone could’ve died. Talia cries that it was only supposed to hurt her business. Chanel talks about what the Bakery meant to her and how much she worked for it. Chanel thought Talia was a friend and more than that as she questions how Talia could do this to her.

Stefan and Gabi walk in to the living room, interrupting EJ and Nicole kissing. Gabi remarks that everyone deserves love in their life, including them. Nicole guesses she’s up to something and complains about their performance reviews. Stefan says no one will care when they see what they cooked up. Gabi announces that they are engaged. Stefan declares that once they are married, they are going to run the company together as Mr. & Mrs. DiMera.

Sloan complains to Rafe and Jada that she just told them that she had nothing to do with Colin’s crimes. Rafe points out that she knew about it and told him to flee, which makes her an accessory after the fact. Sloan argues that she just handed them their entire case so she thought they would cut her a break. Eric agrees that they should since Sloan cooperated and told them everything that she knew. Jada says that’s to be determined and she has a lot more questions that Sloan can answer at the police station. Rafe adds that maybe if Colin hears that Sloan has been arrested, he’ll come forward and take responsibility. Eric calls this unnecessary since Sloan said she would turn Colin in if he did anything else. Jada reads Sloan her rights and officially arrests her.

Colin shows Paulina more photos from his family photo album and tells a story of a family vacation together. Colin says his parents were deeply in love which is how he knows that Paulina and Chanel are lying. Paulina argues that relationships and people change. Colin says not his parents because their love was real and they had a real family until Paulina came along and erased it. Colin shouts that Paulina rewrote their story when she covered up Chanel’s crimes as he suddenly went from having two loving parents to a suicidal mother and a predatory dad. Paulina argues that his father was a predator who took advantage of a young girl. Colin accuses her of distorting the truth again. Colin argues that Chanel seduced his father and lured him in to an affair which he deeply regretted but Chanel was ruthless and a cold blooded murder. Colin declares that now it’s time that Chanel gets exactly what she deserves. Paulina questions what he means and what he did to her daughter. Colin tells her not to worry as Chanel is not in any immediate danger, unlike her.

Chanel realizes Talia has been playing her this whole time and pretending to be her friend and interested in her. Talia tells her that she has to understand that Colin convinced her that she was an awful monster who killed his mother and seduced his father. Chanel says that’s not what happened. Talia cries that she knows that now and when she heard Chanel’s side of the story, she started having doubts as she couldn’t imagine someone so kind doing something so evil. Chanel points out that it didn’t stop her and she kept going on with Colin’s twisted schemes. Talia cries that Colin convinced her that he couldn’t live without getting justice for his parents and she loves him. Chanel questions how she could love someone who would set out to destroy people’s lives. Talia thought he was justified somehow. Chanel argues that there is no way to justify what he did. Chanel calls Colin a psycho and says Talia is one too. Chanel screams at Talia to get out and says she never wants to see her again. Talia then exits in tears as Chanel breaks down crying.

Gabi tells Stefan that they should go big for their second wedding and invite everyone from DiMera. Stefan agrees and says they will prove to be a true power couple. EJ argues that it will only prove that Stefan is a fool for falling for a gold digger. Stefan says that EJ just can’t stand to see them happy. Stefan offers champagne to celebrate which Nicole turns down. Gabi comments on never seeing Nicole turn down a drink. Nicole responds that she doesn’t want to celebrate their unholy union. EJ says that makes two of them. Stefan decides that’s more champagne for them. Stefan then takes the bottle with them as he and Gabi exit the room.

Jada brings Sloan to the interrogation room at the police station. Eric argues that she knows Sloan doesn’t deserve to be arrested. Jada responds that it will be up to the district attorney if she wants to press charges. Jada says she has to do her job so she asks Eric to step out. Eric argues that she can’t question Sloan without a lawyer. Jada says she knows how it works. Sloan tells Eric that it’s okay and she’s got this. Eric tells her that he will be right outside the door if she needs anything. Jada is glad Sloan decided to cooperate. Sloan points out that it hasn’t done her much good so far. Jada says it will help her case if they find Colin. Jada asks Sloan to start from the beginning. Sloan asks for the handcuffs to be removed first.

Rafe stands outside the Pub and calls for an APB out on Colin Bedford and if anyone sees or hears anything, to call him immediately. Rafe then gets a call from Abe, who says he needs help. Rafe asks what’s happening and where he is. Abe reveals that he was attacked at the bakery. Rafe says he’s on his way and rushes off.

Talia goes to Colin’s hotel room and says they need to talk but finds the room is empty. Talia finds his family photo album on the bed and wonders where he is.

Colin brings Paulina to a rooftop and says this won’t take long. Paulina asks why he brought her here. Paulina guesses he realized he couldn’t fire his gun in the room because everyone would hear and asks if he brought her up here to shoot her.

Chanel realizes that she has to warn Paulina and tries calling her. Chanel says that she has something important to tell her and that she finally figured out who was harassing them. Colin is revealed to have answered Paulina’s phone and he tells Chanel that it’s nice to meet her. Chanel questions what the hell he did with Paulina. Colin responds that she’s fine, but if she wants her to stay that way, she will have to follow his instructions very carefully.

Gabi tells Stefan that she enjoyed rubbing their news in EJ and Nicole’s faces, but she’s glad it’s just the two of them now as she just wants to be surrounded by happy vibes. Stefan toasts to their second marriage being filled with as much laughter, love, and less death than the first as they kiss in bed.

EJ complains to Nicole that it’s no surprise that Gabi managed to worm her way back in to the family. Nicole knows they are going to use their wedding to bolster their image at the company. EJ then suggests maybe they will steal their thunder and upstage them. Nicole asks how, so EJ gets down on one knee and proposes to Nicole.

Rafe bursts in to the Bakery and finds Abe recovering on the floor. Rafe asks what happened and if he’s alright. Abe tells Rafe to help Paulina.

Chanel comes to the rooftop where Colin is holding his gun on Paulina. Colin says she is just in time.

Sloan tells Jada that the last time she saw Colin was yesterday afternoon at the motel after he promised her that he was going to leave town. Jada asks if he gave any indication of where he was going next. Sloan complains that they’ve already been over that she doesn’t know where he is. Jada warns her to drop the attitude and says if she would’ve just turned her brother in then she wouldn’t be in this mess but now her psychotic brother is on the loose and who knows what he’ll do next. Sloan argues that he’s not dangerous and that Jada doesn’t know him. Jada responds that she knows him well enough to know that he somehow convinced her sister to do his dirty work and that makes him dangerous enough to her. Sloan questions what she is talking about.

Talia cries that she’s ruined everything and hopes Colin doesn’t hate her for this. Talia pulls out her phone but then notices Paulina’s scarf on the floor. Talia recognizes it as Paulina’s and wonders what it is doing here.

Chanel screams at Colin to stay away from her mom while Colin warns her to stay back. Paulina tells Chanel to do what he says. Colin says he’s delighted that Chanel showed up as this has all worked out perfectly. Chanel asks what he’s going to do. Colin complains that they went to great lengths to make the world believe that his mom threw herself off of a building so now the story is about to come full circle. Colin tells Chanel to say goodbye to her mom, because she’s about to jump to her death as he holds her at gunpoint.
