THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So this university police officer is the same one who took Chanel Dre’s statement in the Martha Bedford on side. That’s brilliant. Yeah. This is gonna make her quite a nice, uh, exclusive for Spectator. Yeah. Thanks Emma. I’ll look you up next time in London. Alright, cheers,

Mattie. Good evening, Lois Lane. Have I got a scoop for you? But you’re gonna have to hire me first.

Hey,

you kidding me? Your first day back at Titan. Gotta celebrate. Also happens to be my last day at sj p r. What? I thought things were going right there. Yeah, they were. But you know, Stephanie brought me on to help with the pulling the price campaign. Now she’s been elected governor. So mean the firm has other clients, doesn’t she want.

Stick around and she’ll be fine without me.

You look incredible. Thank you. I would tell you that you also look fantastic, but I suspect you already know it well. I’m always open for compliments for you. Oh, very lovely. You ready to go? Uh, I’m not actually. You’re not. Well, dinner reservations are in like 15 minutes. You certainly look like you’re ready for a night out.

Am I missing something? Uh, actually I thought we could stay in. Oh.

This was a great idea, Sarah. I think we all needed a girls night out. Yes, and I’m glad we finally got to do it. Yes. Funny. What was the eggnog drink that you were telling me about the, when you went to Puerto Rico for that Christmas. What had the coconut rum? Yeah. They called it a coqui toe, right? Yes. I bet that Roman can whip us up a couple of those.

Mm-hmm. . So should I get two with booze and one virgin? Sounds great. Alright, Bonnie, I know what you guys are doing and it’s not gonna work.

Come here. You, we beastie, you and your cockroach friends have had the run in this place for too long. This is my home and I’m gonna send you straight to hell.

Well, you know what? Live and let live my little friend. I mean, who am I to judge? That’s everything I’ve done. No better than you are. Oh, good. Maybe this is Sunday with a massive shoe to put me outta my misery.

Justin, unexpected surprise.

What brings you to Salem’s? Wrong side of the tracks. I just spoke to Bonnie, and you’re in big trouble

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

Doing . We’re not doing anything other than trying to have a good time. Yeah. What are you trying to accuse us of? Trying to cheer me up. Get me to forget about that kidnapping clown. We’re not trying. We’re not trying to, yes. Yes it is. Yes we are. But that’s, it’s why we took you up. Thank you. Thank. Justin told us how upset you are about what that bozo did to you, and he, he thought that you could use a distraction and, and just a night of fun.

I’m not exactly sure if I can actually have fun considering what happened to Susan Banks and what could have happened to me, you know? Well, I hope they catch that circus. They lock him up and they throw away the key. Same. But if they can’t find him, I can only pray that he’s a million miles away from here.

By now

I’m in trouble. What kind of trouble? Come on, Andrew. How long did you think you could keep the truth from me? Well, I mean, I was hoping to, at least I know what’s going. Bonnie told me.

Gals are right. I do need this night out. It’s time. I put this whole nightmare behind me and the best way to do that is to put a strong drink in front of me. Yeah, yeah. There you go. I’m gonna go get in the first round.

So have you talked to, I, yeah, I, I talked to him and I asked him about his job at Rednecks, and then I told him that I thought he might be the clown that kidnapped Bonnie and Susan. Hmm. And what did you say? He denied it and you took him at his word.

You wish I. After he, he swore that he didn’t do anything illegal. I asked if he’d mind if I looked up rednecks to see if it really existed, and I found a website and even a listing for the job that Xander vacated. So that I was legit. No, I’m so relieved. Damn. Me too. I just. I’m so sorry I ever doubted him.

Bonnie told you what she told me about the debt collector who came to the house that, yeah, I mean, I, it turns out I have racked up quite a few creditors, Justin, and I was hoping my new job would remedy you, but it didn’t work out. Maggie said that, uh, your boss asked you to do something that you were uncomfortable.

Yeah, for the first time ever, my function’s got the better of me. Well, good for you. I’m proud of you for having the moral fiber to take a stand and do the right thing. Thanks. Well, unfortunately, doing the right thing doesn’t really pay the bills. True. That type of behavior doesn’t always get rewarded, but.

In this case, I think it could be. I, sir, what do you say? We sue this rednecks for wrongful termination. Sue Rednecks? Mm-hmm. . I am confident that we can make them pay through the nose. I’ll just need the name of your boss who fired.

You want to work at the Spectator as what? As a newsman. What else? I’ve been spilling tea since I left the womb. I mean, look at these stories I already brought you. Yeah. Crap. This doesn’t really look like news to me. Not news. Are you kidding me? Titan, Alex Kiki Mixes business and pleasure with SJ P’S Stephanie Johnson Juicy.

Now Salem’s spicy senior citizen, Julie Williams, questioned by police in connection with geriatric crime sprees. Spoiler alert, she stole a stole juicier. Keep going. Wendy Shin and Johnny Damer. Jet set to Jakarta is love in the air for these two young power. Juiciest. This is, this is not news. This is, this is bloody gossip.

What’s the difference? Look, the spectator is a very respected newspaper. We can’t publish this rubbish. That’s why I intend to write under a nam de plume. In case people get offended and want to come at me with pitchforks and torches. Okay. I know I’m gonna regret asking this, but what is the name? It’s right there on the bottom.

Lady Whistleblower Lady. Whistleblower Lady. Whistleblower lady. Wait, are we just gonna keep saying it over and over again? Don’t you wanna prove to your father that he made the right choice in hiring you? How better than to take his antiquated paper and turn it into a modern success. Come on, gw. I promise I will work my ass off for you.

If you gimme a chance,

I’ll run it by him. Yes, thank you. But you best get used to this headline. Now, wannabe gossip columnist denied, goes from dishing to dishwasher. Do you know if a dishwashing cake, Leo really isn’t your prospects that grim for you? Well, I did get one offer from Johnny Kikis. How’s that happened? Go on, man.

You’ve lost the gossip lady whistleblower. And don’t you leave out any details. So you’re officially done working in SJ p r Well, no, not officially. But you wanna leave? No, I, I, I’ve really loved working in pr. It wasn’t something that I sought out, but it turned out to be really rewarding. It seemed like you and Stephanie got along pretty well.

Yeah, a little too. Mm. Meaning you got a little thing for her, do you?

Oh my God. You do? I did. Well, did she, you know, reciprocate? Uh, it doesn’t matter. It’s too soon after Abby. I, I, I don’t, I don’t want to be involved with anyone. Okay, fine. But did you tell Stephanie that? Yeah, I did. And now she’s moved on. With your brother.

I hope you don’t mind staying in. You kidding me? This is great. But what about your parents? Oof. Suddenly I feel like I’m 16 years old again. Oh, they’re, they’re still in Seattle with trips, so, oh, we have the place go to ourselves. Well, I like that. Should I order some delivery? Oh, why would we do that if I spent all day cooking?

You did not cook me dinner. Mm-hmm. . No you didn’t. Mm-hmm. . Oh my God. Is there anything that you can’t do? Stick with me. Alex. Kiki, you’ll learn. I’m a woman of many talents.

To the end of my reign as c e O of Titan. Sunny’s back. Huh? King is dead long. Live the king.

So how do you feel about it? I’m fine with it. There are some perks to having less responsibility, such as? Such as more time to spend with a certain beautiful woman. Hmm. So you really don’t mind stepping down. I’d rather be here with you. You don’t believe me. I just get the sense that you’re a man who likes being on top.

Okay. That came out wrong. No, it’s okay. You’re right. I do like to be on top. But I’m flexible,

so you’re totally fine with Alex dating. Stephanie, why wouldn’t I be? Steph is great and seems like he, he won her over as sound getting pretty cozy the other day. How was that for me? Fine. Chad. Hey, you don’t have to lie to me. Okay. Yeah. Fun. It sucked. Yeah, of course it did. Because you were jealous. I don’t get it.

Why would you turn down Sunny’s job offer? It never would’ve worked out. It would’ve been a total disaster, actually. And Sunny realized that too after we both had a minute to think about it. How would it have been a disaster? Well, for starters, Sunny’s married to Will Amino at blanket. Between Will and Sonny’s Grumpy Uncle Vic, they would’ve given him nonstop grief over hiring me, and then that old Grmp probably would’ve fired us both.

Mm. I see. Besides after Craig and everything that happened with Abigail, I’m really trying to avoid personal complications in my life right now. Personal complications, what do you mean? Well, like I said, son’s married. Hmm. And married just so happens to be your type. So answer the question. My little brushing friend.

What? No, I’m blushing. Oh yes, you certainly are. Which leads me to believe that you are smitten with curiosity, aren’t you? Yes, you are.

You need my boss’s name? Mm-hmm. . I think we could beg. The case for wrongful termination. She ordered you to do something illegal. You refused, and as she fired you, no, of course it probably would never go to court. Most likely settle. I appreciate the off Justin Burke. I’d rather forget the whole thing happened.

Why? What if I could get you a sizable settlement? Make all your creditors just go away. That way you can put this whole nasty business of redneck behind you and get on with your life. There’s nothing I want more, ever since that horrible, scary time. Everywhere I’d go, I see glass peeking out from another bed hiding around the corner, watching me from across the street.

Oh, I can’t imagine how, how nerve-wracking that is. I keep thinking. What if he comes back from me, ma’am. What if he’s not done? You know? Well, from what I understand, you were an Ava’s target. She, she had that clown take Susan to teach EJ a lesson. Yeah. I you, you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

So you really don’t think he’s coming after me. I mean, according to the police, you are safe.

You. Thank you. All right. You know what, hairs to being safe. You got it.

Thanks. You’re welcome. Dinner’s coming along nicely. Ah, remind me what’s on the menu again. Smells incredible. Uh, short rib fa, short rib fa again, . I, um, I learned to cook it from a neighbor in Seattle. It’s her mom’s recipe from Vietnam. And, uh, in return I taught her how to make dad’s. Sounds like a pretty damn good trade.

Mobi, how do you know a Vietnamese toast? You stick with me, Stephanie Johnson, and you will learn that I’m a man of many talents. Mm.

Cut me off already hardly. I just wanted to set them down so that I don’t spill. When I do this,

Are you sure you’re ready for this? What do you think?

It’s Paulina. She’s calling from jail. Take you. Go ahead. I’m gonna make this so quick. Oh, take your time.

Hey Paulina.

So my best friend and my big brother both want the same. Talk about a conflict of interest. Actually, it’s not, cuz only one of us wants to be with her. So you don’t have to pick a sign. Hello? It does simplify things, but I’m gonna tell you the same thing I told Alex, right? Life is short and love doesn’t always wait until you’re ready.

Okay? So if you like. And she likes you. I think you owe it to you both to give it a shot. I mean, Stephanie’s a grown woman. She can decide who she wants to be with.

I can’t. Not yet. Are you sure? I’m sure. Okay. And I’m hoping that. But now that I’ll, I’ll be around her less, that the feelings will just go away around her. Less meaning staying busy. Find a new job. Well, maybe I can help with that Job. Hunting has become sort of a, uh, specialty of mine. What do you mean? Why, why are you looking for a new job?

Well, I’m not for, it’s not for me. I meant for other people. Oh. But what other people? If I’m blushing, it’s because it’s hot in here. Yeah, right. Sunny and I are just friends. We’re becoming friends even after everything you’ve done to him. Okay, sure. Sunny and I have had our differences, but we’ve put all that behind us.

We’re in the Doover phase. Hmm. Sounds like my relationship with Zander. O, Xander, Xander, who’s also married. Guess that’s your type two. I loved Zander before he was married. Okay. And now he and I have reached a sort of understanding, Ooh, I have a feeling this is juicier than it sounds. Come on, give Lady Whistleblower the gossip complete with photos and texts if possible.

No texts and no photos. This stays completely off the record.

I know I’m probably gonna regret telling you this, but, um, seems that Dr. Goodie two shoes doesn’t know her husband as well as I do. what? Sarah Horton? Yes. Turns out Sandra can tell me things that he cannot tell his adoring life. Tell me, tell me, tell me what did the Scotty Hot do this time?

No, get away from me.

You can’t hurt.

He’s not, that’s not the.

I promise you won’t have to do any heavy lifting for this lawsuit. I’ll just need the name of your ex-boss and the specifics of what she asked you to do, but I just don’t think this is gonna work. Why not? Because it’s complicated and it’s my word against hers, and besides I chose to leave. They didn’t find me.

They didn’t give you any choice. Now, are you sure you don’t want me to at least try? Listen, I really appreciate you wanting to help, boo. Yeah, I’m sure I, well, I’m sorry if I’m pushing too hard. It’s just as I was telling Bonnie the other day, you and I are family and I’d also like to think that we’ve become friends.

We. Which is why I trust you to have my back zander, so I’d like to have yours

look

something I have to tell you.

Leo Stark. Are you serious? What’s, what’s the big deal? We’ve been hanging out a little bit. All right. And he feels terrible about all the crappy things he’s done, and I really think he’s starting to turn over a new leaf. He’s actually, you know, he’s pretty funny. He’s decent. Oh, what? What? What? Nothing. I just, I just find it incredibly strange that you’re, you’re, you’re so forgiving and what you’re, you’re actually enjoying Leo’s company to a point, you know, we’re not like best friends or anything.

How, how does will feel about, about, uh, you hanging out with Leo? Did you tell him? Yes, I told him. Well, I didn’t exactly tell him. Um, Leo answered the phone while was in the other room. How’d that go? Oh, not great. Yeah, not great. Uh, granted, will and I aren’t exactly in the best place right now, what’s going on?

He called me and he told me he’s not coming home for Christmas because he has this big deadline to make and work always comes. Why don’t you find will another job closer to home? Believe me, if I thought I would’ve fixed anything, I would just promised me that You’ll be careful around Leo. I don’t trust him.

Especially after what he did to you and Lou.

Steph, what’s up? I know you thought you and I were done, but you can’t get rid of me that easily. Yeah, actually listen, um, I was thinking Paulina is resigning what she thinks that Stepping Down will protect Abe’s job as Mayor of Salem. I’ll explain it all when you get here, but we need to draft a statement.

I’m at my parents’ place. I’ll be right there.

I’m sorry. I’m not as sorry as I am. We can do this. Dinner and everything else sometime soon. Very soon. Can’t wait.

Blow the daff, would you? What is Xander up to that he can’t tell his wife?

Nevermind. What? No, I shouldn’t have brought it up. Seriously. I sealed my lips and everything. Yeah. Well, you know, I think that it’s probably in everyone’s best interest if I just keep this to myself. And the point is, just like you and Sonny, Zandra and I are now. Building a friendship. Mm. But unlike me and Sunny, you still love him.

Wanna marry him and have his babies? And who’s blushing now? Why not? Oh, you totally are. What? No. Look, I, I still have feelings for Zander. Yes. But I’m not deluding myself with him. I promise you. Just be careful. I don’t wanna see you get hurt again, girlfriend. Right back at your girlfriend. I better time to get to an AA meeting.

Hey, AA Mattie. Oh, no, no, no. It’s just free coffee and donuts. Ah, hey, you’ll talk to Jack about Lady Whistleblower. Yes, I’ll talk to him, but, um, I dunno if you’ll be too excited about the prospect unless you do a brilliant pitch for her. Talk about how clever and witty she is and how she would be a huge asset to any publication.

Please, I’ll do my best. You are the greatest.

Roman, I’m so sorry. You know, maybe next time just a bad review on Yelp. Okay. No, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I, I I thought you were. Yeah. I thought I was a clown. I heard you say that after the blow in my head. Roman, uh, could, could we help you clean up this? No, no, no, no. I think Bonnie needs more attention than my floor does.

Oh, yeah. We’re on it. Thank you. It’s okay. Okay. No. No. Okay. Okay. Okay. I’m not fine. I’m not fine. I’m, I’m not fine. I’m,

all I wanted was to give Sarah A. Good life to prove that I’m worthy of her love. And Arthur, I’ve just made such a mess of all of what, everything I don’t understand. You just offered to represent me so I, this conversation is covered under Attorney Klein privilege. Technically no, but it is covered under Kiki’s cousin privilege.

What’s going on?

I,

I just wanted to let you know that from what you said before about us being friends, you have no idea how much that means to me. Justin and I feel the same. So tell me what this mess is and how I can help.

I, he’s just losing this job and you’re facing down these creditors that I really am trying to be a good husband to Sarah to, to be the kind of man that she deserves. But I feel like there’s something you’re not telling me.

I guess I’m just not used to being vulnerable, especially around other guys. That’s what you’re worried about. People thinking you’ve gone soft. I do have a reputation to a bond. You have a heart. It’s nothing to hide, but your secret is safe with me. Thank. Well, I better head out in case Bonnie needs a ride home.

We’ll see you later.

You know what? This whole rednecks business, I’m still looking into it. No, I, it’s really not necessary, Justin. I know, but I. And I know you may feel uncomfortable being vulnerable and letting someone help you out, but I am pitching in whether you liked or not. It’s just, and I’m gonna keep bothering you until you send me your employment contract, so you better send it to me right away.

See you later, Andrew.

Chad Damara reporting for duty. Thank you for showing up on such short notice. I wouldn’t play away from anything important. It’s okay. It was just hanging out with sunny.

Looks like you had other plans too.

Cheers to you too. Yes, you got another slice and a beer for your old man. Oh, come on. Always nice.

You have to help me. Plan was wrong. Justin was just here. You must to dig into my employment contract at Redneck What? Why he thinks I should sue them for wrongful termination. . Oh, you think this is funny? No, no, of course not. Sorry. Yeah. Um, what, what, what, what can I do? What can I do to help? Well, you, you created a fake website for Redx, didn’t you?

I was hoping that, that I could create an employment contract match. Could you, would you? Well, I suppose it won’t be too difficult. I’ll just find an online template and fill in the. Oh, thank you so much. You are a lifesaver. My pleasure. So you’ll just email it over to me when it’s ready? No, it’s best not to leave an electronic trail with this sort of thing.

Um, I will meet you in the park. Um, I can get there as soon as I can park. It’s a bit cold tonight, isn’t it? Okay, so wear a jacket lander. Do you want Justin off this case or not? Oh, I’ll bring us both to my chocolate. Sounds lovely.

So when you looked at Roman, you saw the sound was coming after me. Bonnie, it’s clear that you’re suffering from ptsd. T S D hallucinations aren’t uncommon. You need to go speak to someone, please. What I need is another. All right. Well it, is it safe to approach ? Please do. I’m sorry. Maybe the jewels aren’t helping.

No, I can do this. Okay. I don’t need, you all fu in over me. I just need to stay focus. Good.

You okay? Did I make the drinks too strong?

I’m apparently not strong enough. Are you alright?

I just need to.

Sarah went for a run. Be back soon. Next.

Dark and cold for a run.

Oh, come on Gwen. Where are you? I’m counting on. Help me out of another mess.

Don’t worry love. I’m going to do everything I can to make sure you are dirty deeds. There are little secret.

So, when’s the baby due? What? I assume that’s why you’re eating for two. Ha ha. No, Chad was here, but he got called away on a work emergency, so he’s not gonna be finishing this delicious looking meal. Doesn’t seem like it. So help yourself. Oh, I couldn’t possib. But if you insist,

so what’s this work emergency? He got called away for? He couldn’t have been too happy about it. Actually. I think he was.

Okay. What’s the tone of our press release? Do you want to go? Contrite, defiant. I was thinking down to earth, honest. And hopeful. I like that. Puts her in the position of, uh, the underdog sets her up for a comeback. Yeah.

Oh, I almost forgot. What’s that? I, I made dinner for Alex, but we didn’t get a chance to eat it. Smells good. What do you miss out on? Uh, short rib fa. You hungry? Am I hungry? I mean, I was just about to eat with Sunny before you called. Yeah. Oh, great. I’ll make it a working dinner. It sounds good to me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 You were looking for me. Hmm? Me. Shut the door.

Um, what’s this about? Well, it’s about your sister Lee, the company Jet and the city of Jakarta in that order, I know what your sister’s been up to, Lee, and so do you, don’t you?

Thank you for coming. I’m sorry to tell you from work. That’s no problem. Stop for a lunch break. Anyway. My message may get some urgent. It is. It is. I have something to ask you about your brother.

Wait, so Ava caused a crash that killed your grandmother and she’s dead too. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I, uh, she tried to get away, drove off the road with my grandmother in the backseat. Was it an accident? Uh, I, I don’t, I don’t know. You know, my dad, my dad seems to think that she crashed the car on purpose.

Oh my God. That’s,

VJ Damara, don’t let me ever hear you take the Lord’s name of van ever again. Did you hear me?

This is who you hired as your lawyer, Nicole, please. Oh, no, no, no. I recognize the name. My soon-to-be ex-husband is police Commissioner Ray Fernandez. So I’ve heard quite a bit about you. All good? I assume. Oh, well, I’m sorry that I can’t return the same sentiment you see my. Client here hasn’t exactly told me much about you yet.

From what I’ve gathered, you’re the reason why his girlfriend aborted their baby

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

Excuse me, but that is not true. What the hell, Eric Jada is the one who took your baby from you, not me, but yet when it’s out, blame Eve, right? Father? And other thing that surprises me is seeing you turn around and hire the serpent herself as your lawyer. Low life. You know, I find it curious, you casting aspersions when you yourself are in bed with Mr.

Loli.

My apologies sister. I didn’t know you were coming, seeing you after everything was, that was quite a shock that Aunt, sister, Mary, moreover, banks to you. Yes, of course. Damn. Are you gonna invite me in and tell me what Jesus’ name happened to my four sister or not?

Yeah. My, my dad, you know, he, he went after Ava for, for lying about her marriage to Jake defrauding the company for his shares. And I, I, I, I don’t know. She, she, she must have just lost it, so she was going down anyway. Might as well take someone with her. And punish your dad in the process. Right? Oh, Johnny, I feel so terrible for you and for Tripp to lose his mom in this way.

I, I can’t even imagine. And you, you lost your sweet grandmother. Oh, Johnny, I am so sorry.

Um, I, I’m not sure what, Getting out of found my sister, Stephanie.

Okay, we’ll do it that way.

You see, a couple of weeks ago I was gonna take Chloe on this romantic getaway. We’re gonna fly to Miami. So when I called to book the company, jet, you know the jet that’s reserved for execs of this company. The jet that literally has my name plastered on the side of it. Right. That one, it was unavailable out for servicing, supposedly.

Oh, how unfortunate. I know. So anyway, I was talking to one of our managers today and he happened to mention how that specific. Shouldn’t be due for servicing for at least another couple of months. So naturally, I did some digging. Turns out the Jet’s logs were hacked. Now your sister, she’s very good with computers, right?

I mean, that’s why we hired her. Anyway, the Jets logs reflected that that plane was out for servicing, when in fact it had been commandeered for a clandestine trip to Jakarta by your sister, and everyone here at Damara was none the wise.

To everyone except you, Lee,

Kathy, he seems so serious. Sorry, I was just a little, um, distracted about something earlier. Looking at something in the mail, but you know what? Forget it. Don’t worry about that. I am just excited about something and I hope you will be too excited about what, Wendy? Will you be my maid of honor?

Well, what are you saying? Um, well, we haven’t even really known each other that. I mean, don’t you have like a whole list of eager girlfriends just fighting for the top spot? Um, yeah. Um, you probably might not believe this, but I don’t really have many girlfriends. Right. Well, and so I’m not sure why you pivot to Lee.

Might I remind you, Lee, that I was. The day you realized your sister hadn’t shown up for work, you seem to be a little confused as to what happened, even maybe, dare I say, perturbed , if I recall correctly. Is this ringing any sort of bell up there in that head of yours? You chalked it up to her working remotely, either for her benefit or for mine, and then you left to check up on her, right?

Um, yes, I do remember that. Hmm. What must you have found when you checked up on Hurley? Because when I dug up the plane’s logs, Unaltered logs. Turns out at that very moment, the plane was already wing. Its way over to Indonesia, and here’s the kicker, every expense for that flight. Look at me. The fuel in flight, meals in flight entertainment was all signed off for by one Mr.

Lee Shin,

which tells me you knew your sister left town and you must have. Why she left, what the purpose was of her little jot on the company’s dime. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Here’s the truth.

I’m waiting. Okay. I did know about my sister’s Little John to Jakarta, but after the fact, and I do know why she. I also know who went with her.

Hello Ali. Johnny was just telling me the terrible news about his grandmother. Yeah, I, I know about it. Trip told me. Johnny, I’m so sorry. I wanted to tell you in person. It’s just there’s been so much going on. Thanks. Wait, how long have you known? I talked to Trip on than. So you’ve known since Thanksgiving and you didn’t say anything to me.

Chanel, you’ve been going through so much. You and your mom got arrested. I didn’t wanna pile on. Look, I’m sorry. I should have told you. I will never keep you out the loop again. Okay. Oh, sh Chanel, there’s nothing to could have done. Don’t blame Ally. All right. I know you’re right. Both of. It’s just like, it’s all been so overwhelming, like Allie said, and it just, it just seems like it never ends.

What do you mean just what’s going on now with Abe? Wait, what’s going on with him? It’s nothing like what Johnny and his dad are going through, but he’s bad.

I think someone needs a refresher in his manners. I thought you, my family guys, hey they Steph hammered into you Honor and all that. I’m a businessman, aunt, sister, Mary Mara, but all the same You are, right. Where are my manners? You’re very, very welcome here, I suppose I’m just still surprised to see. He’s surprised.

Isn’t that just facial? Well, lemme tell you what surprises me, hearing about the untimely loss of my poor sister in the kidnapping Gone wrong. No less from anyone except my own nephew. So tell me exactly where were you in a time of need chasing girls for money or both for your information? EJ is the reason you are walking free no matter what.

Clarice Darrow here has led you to believe I was with EJ when he called the DA to drop the charges. You’re welcome. It seems like you two have a, a lot still to work through, so I’m just gonna get out of here. No, no, no, don’t go. Nicole is leaving. You know, I have a business to conduct anyway, but, um, here’s my business card.

Settle my feet anytime that, uh, you’re available. My home address is on the back.

Let me stop you. I’m sure Mr. Ron is waiting. You know, how many times do I have to tell you I am not seeing e. I had no place to go. He offered me and Holly a place to land. And so you accepted without any hesitation,

you know, I don’t wanna get ahead of myself, but this could be a real opportunity for us. An opportunity for what? Exactly. To have a real relationship and. , I helped turn it into something very special. I, you probably don’t know this. I mean, why would you know this? But I, I had a sister named Ariana. Ha. Yeah.

Tragically she’s gone now. But I named my daughter after her. I wanted to honor her, but nothing can replace that bond that sisters can. It’s really special and soon you and I are gonna be sisters-in-law, but I’m hoping that in time we can make it feel like we’re real sisters and not just related by marriage.

That would be, that would be amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. I, I’ve had such a great feeling about you. I mean, the minute I met you, I just felt like I could trust you and, and that really means a lot to me. Okay. Please, please, Wendy, just say Yes, please. Gabby, there’s, there’s something you need to hear.

The truth about Wendy’s trip is that, um,

come on Lee, don’t stop now. Well, it was your nephew Johnny, who actually commandeered the jet when, why? Yes. Yes. It, um, it, it seems that Johnny and my sister, the two of them have well, um, Hit it off, shall we say. Hmm.

I see. And so I assume to impress her, he whispered her away on a little romantic getaway. Hmm. On dam mayor’s dime. Yes. Yes. And um, I’m right. Uh, as you said, I did sign off on the expenses. But after the fact, what else was I supposed to do? I’m not sure I’m catching the meaning here. Well, um, to put it bluntly, he’s the boss’s son,

but just because the city council is cowardly and trying to avoid a scandal doesn’t mean that Abe has to kneel, fallen his sword. Yeah. I mean, mayor carver’s a fighter, a damn good one, right? I mean, he’s. Through how many crises before he’s gonna get through this one. I hope you’re right. Both of you and I mean, sure.

The city council may be trying to avert a scandal, but there is only one true villain here. Sloan Peterson. What’s wrong with you? AJ’s mother died and yet he still found the time to call the DA and drop the charges. He did. For you, and yet you stand here in front of me making underhanded comments like some silly wounded school.

Boy, anyone know the worsts part? Is it you and this woman you just met? Confront me here and accuse me of killing your baby. Now, we talked about this and even you agreed that it was Jada’s choice about her own.

After everything that we’ve been through, I am devastated to see you behaving. Like what? Say it, Nicole. What?

You’re not the special man. I thought you were.

Believe me, I know EJ has history and a pretty ugly one compared to you these past few days. He’s a saint.

You know what? You right about ej? I’ll just keep my opinions to myself. We’ll see. And as for me, I am not a saint. I don’t deny that, but neither are you. And as Jay’s decision about the abortion, that is her choice. We do agree on that. But that little private chat that you had with her, how hard it is to be a mother and raising a child on her own.

God, would you listen to yourself, all these insults and accusations like I’m some fallen woman, because I took EJ up on a place to say when I had nowhere to go. Oh yeah. And of course it’s my fault that Jada got an abortion, even though it was her own choice. You are blaming me for things that I haven’t done and I am sick of it.

Yeah. Well, I’m so sorry that I am impossible to deal with because you know what? Your opinion doesn’t matter anymore.

You make it sound like we’re breaking up. Yeah. Well, we’d have to be together to break up. Lucky for you. We never made that mistake. No, I wasn’t chasing women or money in my mother’s hour of need, and I assure you I did everything I could to bring her home safely. But when you are dealing with a lunatic, that crazy woman grabbed my mother.

And backed outta her very own deal. All I hearing is excuses. Excuses, excuses, excuses. Next thing you’re gonna my

look,

I’m not trying to justify my failings, I’m just trying to give you the whole picture. And ask for forgiveness even when I truly don’t deserve it.

I don’t know much about this Sloan Peterson person, but I know that my Uncle Chad is not a fan. Oh, trust me. No one is a fan. All you need to know about her is that she’s trying to ruin Chanel on her mother. And yet again, my mother gets dragged through the mud for something I did. Don’t blame yourself.

Chanel. Okay? You’re gonna get through this. You all will, hopefully very soon. I know you’re going through a lot too, Johnny, and I want you to know we are here for you. You know that, right? Yeah. Thank you. Uh, you know I had better get going. I did come here looking for Wendy. I should probably try and catch her at.

What did you need to see her about? You didn’t say? Oh, uh, nothing important. Just, uh, wanna see how things are going at the mirror?

I’m sorry if you wasted your time digging into this missing jet mystery. Um, I, I felt like I had to play dumb. I was just trying to protect my sister and her crush. Not to mention your c. , I assume it all makes sense now. All the pieces seem to fit together. Hmm. And, uh, hey, look at the Bright side. Jets back.

Uh, you can use it to whisk Chloe away to Miami. Uh, right now. , if you’d like , we will be going to Miami. But just on a different timeline, huh? Yeah, we’re thinking New Year’s. Oh. Um, the day I’m marrying Gabby, Exactly. And obviously she’s told you Gabby has that she invited both me and Chloe, right? Obviously, but we’re not gonna be there.

We decided it’s not for us. We sent in our IV P yesterday, let you hear it from me. Right? And let’s be honestly, do you really want your bride’s ex-husband. And his new lady in attendance. Do you, uh, think I’d feel threatened because I, I assure you I wouldn’t be, uh, you’ve been very clear that you have no lingering feelings for Gabby, and, uh, she’s been clear as well that she holds nothing but resentment for you now that, um, you’ve returned and treated her with so much, uh, rudeness and insulting behavior.

But, but hey. I get it. So have a wonderful time in Miami.

Hey, wait, what’s wrong? Whatever it is, you can tell me. We can fix it.

So we both agree we have to keep their. Your dad’s and my brothers. Hey Gabby and s Stephan Can’t help you feel okay with that? No, not really. Me neither. I just, I know that being a maid of honor means putting everything else aside to make sure the bride stays perfect. I guess I’m worried about being up for the job.

Because as it is now, I’m on thin ice damara, and after playing hooky, I have a ton of work to catch up on. I guess what I’m saying is I wouldn’t wanna let you down. Are you kidding me? That’s you . You couldn’t possibly let me down ever. Unless you refuse to be my maid of honor, so please, please, please say you guys, Wendy, please.

Yeah, I’d love to think you. Think you, you.

Well, perhaps in your grief you have forgotten, so I will remind you. God is in charge of forgiveness, not me.

I wasn’t asking you for his forgiveness. I was asking for you. Well, right now I’m more concerned about the immortal soul of my sister. So when is the funeral? Oh, I’ve, nothing’s been arranged yet. Nothing. She’s been arranged, been busy. Have we? I’d hate for you to interrupt your important schedule for something so trivial as the passion of your own mother.

It’s in its true graces that I am here. My sisters’ beloved son has managed to both fail her in love and now in this shame on you, air Mr. Mirror. Shame. Shame, shame.

So this is how we’re doing this that are in spiteful probably for the best. Otherwise, we’d make the same mistake. Fine. Cutting.

This is really happening, isn’t it?

In case you can find another way through. I can’t. Maybe our mistake was trying to recapture what we once had,

forgetting all the things that made us wrong for each other. That day in the office when we fell, we had a. We kissed. Yeah. And then your phone rang in, was in the

Wendy. Hey, what are you doing here? It’s. We don’t have to keep our friendship a secret anymore. Remember, it’s our cover now. In fact, it’s probably better for people to see us together. Let ’em think what they think first we’re a secret. Then we’re drumming up wild gossip. What a whirlwind friendship chip.

Anyway, um, I went looking for you earlier just to check. Make sure you’re okay. I spoke to my dad and he was asking if I had any second thoughts about, you know, about keeping our secret about Stephan. I told him we’re both on board, but I wanted to make sure with you I was. Then Gabby called,

oh, you scared the hell outta me. , sorry. Uh, you were somewhere else totally absorbed in whatever you were looking at. Yeah. The perfect target, , that, that, that arrived today, Steph and Chloe aren’t coming to the wedding. Yeah, I know I spoke with Stefan a while ago. What I didn’t know is that you had invited him in the first place.

Yeah. Sorry, I didn’t tell you. I was just, I, I mean, I assume that you’d want a handful of high ranking execs from Damira there. So that was, um, the only reason for the invitation. What do you mean? Um, I, I don’t know. Maybe a part of you wants to show s Stephan that you’re really moving on. I just want Stephan and everyone else to know how happy I am and I am marry the most wonderful man.

I am the luckiest woman. I’m the lucky one. Hey, actually, I forgot to tell you. I saw your sister today. I asked her to be my maid of honor. Oh, um, you saw Jane when, yeah. She didn’t skip out on work. She, she came during her lunch. Well, what did she say? Well, she said yes, but after some persuading, and actually she seemed weirdly uneasy about it.

Gabby was laying it on pretty. About how we could be like real sisters, how close we could be in. She’s seemed genuinely excited about it. I thought she was gonna break out one of those heart BFF necklace sets. Whole time I was trying to smile. Dead inside. Look, I’m sure Gabby didn’t even notice. If you can go face to face with Dr.

Rolf, you can handle anybody. I don’t know. I kept trying to leave. I must’ve been sweating and squirming. It got so bad. I almost blurted out what we did.

Yes.

Let’s talk about what you did.

You down there? Hmm?

Just what are you? You are right. I you should have got to work immediately. Planning something to honor mother. Uh,

While we’re working at the particulars, I want you to stay here. Oh. No argument. I’m going to speak to Harold about setting up a room for you. Stay right here.

Stop staring with your old man

there, a room at the crossroad somewhere.

The call about Jada. It was either the worst timing possible. And the best if we’d actually gotten started.

It would’ve made it harder when things blew up, which was inevitable. Yeah, inevitable.

I guess

Well, I can’t imagine why Gene Wen would be uneasy about being a maid of honor. Well, I think she’s, she’s concerned about the responsibility that come to it, but I told her that she couldn’t disappoint me. So is she resolved All good. I don’t know. Still feels like there’s something that she wasn’t telling me.

Well, you know what I think? I think that you two just don’t know each other all that well yet. You think there’s something she’s not telling you, but I think she’s probably just thinking about what to have for dinner, and that’s very jing wet. I think you should just put this out of your head. I bet the two of you are gonna end up being really good friends.

Yeah, that’s what I told her. Well, you know what they say about great minds,

uh, uncle Stephan. Now we, we were just talking about, uh, we, we, we, your little romantic getaway to Ja.

Yeah, I figured it was you who hacked into the logs for the jet. Why you chose Jakarta as your getaway destination. Hmm. Lano. But I hope you kids had fun because it’s gonna be the last trip you take for a long time on the company’s dime. Of course. And just a fair warning.

Nothing gets by me.

Is it just me or is this getting harder by the minute?

Thanks, voicemail. Hey. Hi, it’s me. Um, I, I’m sorry that I ran out on you and mama before. I just was, I was too emotional. Um, but, uh, gimme a call back when you can. I, I wanna know what’s going on with you and those dim widths at the city council. Okay. Talk soon. You okay? I don’t know how we’re gonna do. But we need to find a way to keep Sloan Peterson from ruining all our lives.

Hello, Eric? Hi. I’m here because I, we have a matter of my bill to discuss. Yeah, no, I am, I assume. I guess it’s just, I didn’t expect to see you here this fast. You and Nicole seemed really in the thick of it. Yeah, well, we actually realized we had nothing else to say.

Should I go? No.

If I stay, you know what that means?

I think we both know what it means

and Jada.

It’s like doing ra. I gotta do the right thing. I can’t stay with Jada, especially when my heart belongs to someone else

As, as angry as I was with you. I never stop loving you. Thank you.

Oh, Eric. This time, no, we. You gotta screw it up, I promise. Yeah.

And sister, you disappeared on me. Apparently one of your invades has an evil sense of humor. Uh, how do you mean? I asked, which was my beloved sister’s room, and she. Pointed this way, put this gas perfume foul, and the air could not be Susan’s. Well, this was mother’s room, but I’ve been letting a friend use a temporarily.

Oh, a friend. I knew you were chasing girls Elvis, just like your namesake. But I pray to God that you were not fornicating in your mother’s mouth. Oh, for.

For Pete’s sake, aunt Sister, yes, my friend happens to be a woman, but that’s all she is. A friend. That’s what they all say. But I pray that is true in your case. Your soul is in enough jeopardy as it is.

Hmm. Looks like someone’s planning a memorial

tasteful affair for attack lady,

but Susan Banks wont be the only one late to rest that day.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

No offense dear Meemaw God, but this is disgusting. I thought you were getting used to it. Did I say that? Mm-hmm. . You also said that you were starting to feel better, which proves that while my grandmother’s hangover recipe may not win any points for, uh, It does work if you say so. Have I ever stayed you wrong?

Oh, too many times to count . Ouch. I’m just kidding. Ej. Now you were really kind to me last night. You needed a friend

and frankly, so did I. Oh, I’m glad I could be there for, Back at you, Ms. Walker. Back at you

What’s going on here?

You there? Fuss? What are you doing here? Well, hi. Could you call in sick for a second day in a row? Just wanna make sure you’re okay. That’s very nice of you. But I, I’m fine. Uh, the doctor who did the procedure said I can go back to work tomorrow. I see. So, uh, guess that means, yeah, I, uh, I got the abortion, so you want to be my lawyer.

You just said your sister won’t represent. I have other options. None better than me. Is that so? Oh, it’s so since you don’t believe it, why don’t you hire me for yourself and find out?

Good morning. Hey Abe. Hi sweetheart. How you holding up? Well, I am missing our king size bed. Thousand threads. Count sheets, but I’m hanging in there. And what about you, kiddo? Must have been nice spending the night at home. I’m very grateful that bail got me out on bail, but I will not be okay until mama is free.

They never should have arrested her in the first place. They need to let her go. Abraham, please, please tell us. You have some good news on that front. I’m afraid. Not

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

Hey. Hey. If you’re looking for Paul, the Chanels in there with her now. Yeah, no, I let her go ahead of me. I just saw Abe go in there too. Do you want me to go in there and break it up? Uh, no. No. It’ll do Paul, some good to spend some time with her family and. That’ll give us some time to talk about my brother.

Yeah. Yeah. When we went for that drink, I, uh, I wasn’t expecting to walk in on that. Yeah. Nicole picking EJ up off the floor after Eric Dham. Neither did I. Yeah. It was so strange, strange seeing him like that. And he was belligerent to hangry and been drinking and assaulting people, including you. No, I, I hated the way that he behaved and.

How outta control he was. But I don’t know. My heart is just breaking for him. You know, I, I can see how much pain he’s in, and now you’re having second thoughts about not taking his case. I just can’t get the image outta my head, you know, my big brother sitting in jail all alone with nobody in his corner.

So what do you. I don’t know if that would be such a good idea because of my reputation. I try not to judge people, but when everyone and their mother calls me an ambulance chaser, it’s hard. I get it. But the thing that all those haters fail to mention is I tend to catch what I chase.

You sure? You don’t want anything to eat? No, I’m not hungry. You sure you’re feeling okay? I walked in. I couldn’t help but notice you were taking a pill. Oh, they’re, they’re just for. Which is basically gone. I just feel terrible about missing work. I mean, the department’s understaffed as it is. No, no, no. Jay, listen to me.

What’s important to me is that you take care of yourself. Listen, if you’re not ready to come back to work, no, I am hanging around. Here is the last thing I want to do.

If you wanna ask me something, just. Ask. I don’t mind talking to you about this. Okay. All right. Yeah, it’s just tough. On Thanksgiving, you told me that you decided that you weren’t gonna keep the baby, and I know that Eric hooked, otherwise. He did. But in the end, I, I had to do a space for me, which was totally your right.

I assume Merick understands that yes, but he was still not happy that I had changed my mind and ended the pregnancy without telling him. Was he angry? No, he was confused, very upset.

His new girlfriend on the other hand, must be very relieved. I would assume so. Nicole made it pretty clear that she did not want me to have the baby.

Somebody’s gonna answer me. I mean, I walk in here and find you two hugging on my dead grandmother’s bed. Yes, Johnny. It’s not what it looks like really? Cuz it looks like the two of you just got it on. Johnny, you don’t understand. Fuck Dad. I get that you’re grieving. Okay. But it doesn’t give you the right to have sex with RA’s wife.

Yes, I do need a lawyer. Paulina Price’s husband is like an uncle to me and her daughter is dating my niece. Boy, your niece should get as far away as possible from Chanel Dupree. She killed my mother. I know I heard you get in into it with Paulina, but she said it was an accident. Oh, that is a complete lie.

My father was Chanel’s College Profess. That little slut seduced him, a married man twice her age with two children, and then in a jealous reach, she pushed my mother off the roof of the building and claimed it was suicide. That doesn’t sound like Chanel. I mean, she’s a good kid. Oh, well obviously that good kid is adapt to hiding her homicidal tendencies.

You know, most those all sociopaths are these actual events occurred that why wasn’t she arrested years ago? Because Paulina covered. She buried the evidence. She gave the school a very generous donation to make it all go away, and my father kept that secret for me for a very long time. But honest Buddy told me the truth, which I’m telling you right now.

You do believe me. Yeah, it’s just a lot to take in.

I didn’t do it.

My dad couldn’t bear the pain, so he started drinking, eventually drank himself to death.

I loved my parents so much. Now they’re both gone.

You know what? It feels like you have what means most to you in this school? Taken. Yes, I do.

Look, I know you don’t like Rafe, but he’s a good guy. He doesn’t deserve this. Rafe is a good guy, which is why I would never cheat on him with your father. No offense. No. Take him. Okay. Well, Nicole, if you’re not hooking up with my dad, then what are you doing? Simple. I had no place to go. So there’s no place else to go with this.

I called everyone in my overseas contacts. Oh, no one can work any jurisdictional magic and make these charges disappear. What about even the people you know in Scotland? Unfortunately none. Their hands are tied. I even called one of Shane Donovan’s contacts at the American Embassy in in London, and was he any help?

She, and unfortunately, no. Come on. Don’t they understand that what Chanel did was it was an accident. Excuse me. Oh, gas winter. What city? Council president. I wonder what he wants. One way to find out,

do you understand the kind of pain that I’m in? Did you lose your parents tragically? No, you’re very much alive and still a part of my life. And how can you empathize with me? Because I recently learned I was going to be a father. It was a complicated situation. I broke up with my ex and she decided she was gonna have the baby first.

And way we agreed we were gonna co-parent. I was really happy

she decided to have an abortion. She had entered her pregnancy before I even knew it was done. That must have been very painful. Yes, it was. And compounding the pain. It’s the woman that I love went behind my back and she told my act to her pregnancy. I’m sorry.

I am guessing something stemming from that situation is what, uh, landed you in this posh establishment. Give the lady a price. Sounds like we both got screwed. I don’t know about you, but I’m not the type of person to just roll over and take it. Someone pushes me, I push back. I’m a fighter and I’m willing to fight for you if you’d let me.

Well, what exactly did Nicole say to you? Well, she asked me why I’d wanna be tied to a man forever. Who didn’t love me, and she reminded me of how incredibly difficult that would be. What, yeah. And then she ran down a list of reasons of why single motherhood would suck, and that even if I, you know, had this baby and was juggling a child and being a cop, that I would feel at both, even with Eric’s support, I cannot believe Nicole did that I can, she was not going to let anything stand in the way between her and Eric.

Not me, not her marriage to you. I’m definitely not my pregnancy. You and Rafer getting divorced. What? Johnny? Johnny, that’s none of your concern. You’re right. You’re right. And, uh, sorry for prying Nicole, and I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions about what I walked in on. It’s okay. EJ was nice enough to offer me and Holly a place to stay after I blew up my life yet again.

That’s all this was. Now if you gentlemen will excuse me. Um, I’m gonna go take a shower and get to the office.

Well, that was awkward. Ever hear of knocking? Yeah. Yeah. I would have. I just didn’t think I needed to. I, I wanted to feel close to, uh, grandma Susan. She and I spent a lot of time together in this room, and I thought maybe I’d feel her spirit or something. I don’t know. It was, it was dumb. No, it’s not dumb and all.

Son, would you like me to move Nicole to a different room? No, no, no. Grandma was, she was all about being generous. She’d liked that someone you care about staying here and I’m sorry for going off on you earlier. Ah, I suppose I can’t blame you for thinking the worst of me, given what you learned in Jakarta, that Lee and Rolf brainwashed your brother and you kept quiet.

I was under the impression that you were going to keep quiet about it as well. I hope you’re not having second thoughts, son. There’s just so much bad blood between Sammy and me. The last thing I want is to be estranged from Eric too. Well, it sounds like you’ve made up your mind. Well, I have, but this still concerns you.

So if you don’t want me to, Hey, Val, listen to me. I would never wanna stand in the way of you representing your. All right. I want you to do what you feel is right. You are the best husband ever, . All right, I’ll go tell Eric that you decided to take his case. That right, it won’t be necessary. I’m sorry. You don’t have to defend me, sis.

I heard someone else. Who

me.

I see. Well, uh, thank you for reaching out to me directly gas. Oh, yes, yes. I’ll, I’ll, uh, I’ll get back to you with an answer as soon as. Please do not tell me he’s asking you to cut some damn ribbon when your family’s in crisis. It’s a bit more pressing than that. Well, what is it, Abe? The city council is asking me to resign as mayor effective immediately.

The city council is asking you to resign as soon as possible. Well, why? Why? Why are they doing this? Well, the way ca put it, the optics are not good. The mayor of being married to the governor elect, who allegedly is covering up a murder, optics are not the truth. Now, someone over there asked to know that I’m the reason, I’m the reason why they want Abe to reside, and I’m the reason why you can’t enjoy your big win.

Oh, no baby. No, no. I’m sorry mama. I have to go. Hello. Chanel. Chanel.

Okay, Eric, you’re angry with me. That’s fine. Be angry, but do not hire this snake out of spite. Find someone else. Anyone else you call Justin. Kek. I think I was in preschool the last time. That guy won a case. Shut up. Hey, don’t talk to my lawyer that way. Well, you wouldn’t be defending her if you knew how she operated.

Do you know what she’s doing to Paul and Chanel what I’m doing to them? How about what they did to me? That little slut murdered my mother and then her mommy goes and papered over her with hush money. Okay, Eric, if nothing. Think about what hiring her is gonna say to Abe. As far as I know, Abe’s always up for justice.

Yeah. Well, Sloan’s not out for justice. She’s out for revenge. And anything that will inflict the most amount of pain on Abe’s family. Yeah. From what I understand, Ms. Peterson here, she exposed a crime and coverup. So if anyone’s the victim, it’s her.

Hey, where the hell does Nicole get? After everything that went down. Instead of leaving you alone, she decides to lecture you especially about something that’s so personal and so private free. Listen, don’t misunderstand me, it was 100% my decision to have this abortion. If I was ready to be a mother, no one, especially Nicole would change my mind about that.

Okay? Yeah, that’s fine. But she’s still, she had no right to pressure you. Oh man. You know, I forgot how incredibly selfish Nicole can be when she’s trying to get something that she wants. And what she wants and has always wanted is Eric,

well, this, now there’s one less obstacle on her way. I wouldn’t be so sure about that. What does that mean? Let’s just say. Eric wasn’t too happy when he found out that she interfered.

I told you, I’ll keep my mouth shut and I will. What about Lee’s little sister? Wendy’s not gonna say anything. You need to look, relax. Got nothing to worry about.

Thank you, son. Don’t, don’t thank me. I feel horrible about keeping this secret. I think Stephan has a right. So you said, yeah, I’ll say it again. What Ralph did, erasing Stephan’s memories for Gabby. That’s messed up. Like I said before, I didn’t become aware of the brainwashing until after the fact. Didn’t stop from taking advantage of it, using it to take the company back, and I will not apologize for that.

For doing what was absolutely necessary to protect father’s company and your legacy. This was about family Giovanni. Is the only reason Wendy and I are keeping our mouth shut as wrong as we both think this is. She doesn’t wanna destroy your brother’s life, and I I don’t wanna destroy yours either.

You’re suffering enough after losing Grandma. We all are.

Well, Chanel’s not picking up. You want me to go find her? No, no. Give her a little space. She’ll calm down. But you, you must be asking yourself if jumping that broom with me on Juneteenth for such a good idea. You wouldn’t, would never regret marrying you. Even if, um, I’m about to cost you your. You know, I already intended to step down as mayor and accompany you to the state capitol.

That was before Sloane Peterson dropped this bomb on us. Well, she’s not going to derail plans. Oh, hey babe. Come on. We’re at the center of an international scandal. Now, even if I took off that, which has already ruined my chances of being a successful governor, oh, we don’t know that. Well, here’s what I do.

There’s absolutely no reason for you to bow out when I’ll probably never even be sworn in.

Hey, uh, is, is Wendy home? Uh, no. I, I think that she probably went to work and. Ali is at the bakery and I, I’m all alone. Chanelle, what’s going on? You okay? Ho? No I’m not.

You hurt me correctly, Ms. Trask. I no longer wish to press charges against Eric Brady. I see no reason to continue to waste our time or the taxpayer’s money on such an unfortunate. Thank you for doing that. I know how hard it is to resist the urge to stick it to Eric. I promised you I dropped the charges and I’m nothing if not a man of my word, generally speaking.

Of course, . Of course. Well, I’m gonna get going. I look forward to seeing you tonight for dinner. I’ll have chef. Make us up a nice dinner with a special dessert for Holly. Oh, and I’ve also asked Harold to get her room ready right next to yours. Of course, ej, uh, about us moving in. Mm-hmm. , I’m not sure it’s a good idea.

Eric, listen to me. I know that you’re going through a hard time right now. I’m fine. No, you’re not. You just spent the night in jail, which is where sharks like Sloan Peterson spend their time circling trying to get to vulnerable people like you, please. And I’m sure she gave you her big pitch about how she’s the best, right?

But don’t fall for that. Why are you making such a big deal? Except that her offer, because my own sister refused. Bella wants to take your case. You changed her mind, Eric. Yeah. We’re a little too late for that, isn’t it? Okay, great. Then unsettled. So why don’t we walk across the street and see about getting these ridiculous charges dropped?

Sounds like a good idea. It’s trash. Detective Brady,

and what if I choose not to?

Okay. All right. All right. I’ll let them out. What was that about? Well, uh, EJ declined pressing charges against Eric. Excellent. That means the DA doesn’t have a case unless you want to be responsible for prosecuting your brother-in-law. It’s not that simple. Why? What do you mean? SK is going after Eric for assaulting a police officer, whether I wanted to or not.

I thought you wanted to move in. I did, but ej now your son is accusing us of having an affair . So, so that, that doesn’t bother you. It was a misunderstanding. Well, even if it was how, how long until the rest of your family starts gossiping about us and then the entire town. Look . My life is a hot mess.

Right now, and, and I really, I don’t wanna deal with this since when does Nicole Walker give a rat’s ass what anyone in Sadam thinks? Uh, since I now have a young daughter, but not so young that she wouldn’t notice dirty looks when I drop her off at school. Or whispers and finger pointing when we walk through the square.

I just don’t wanna expose Holly to that. Would you be doing anything wrong by living?

No. Would you be choosing the best possible situation for your family, I suppose then it’s settled. You and Holly are going to move in here and you can stay for as long as you want. Anyone who has an opinion on that can bloody well shove it.

Glad you decided to eat something. Thanks for looking out for me, boss Hunter. I will always have your back on the job or off. I appreciate that and I hope I didn’t come off as petty earlier. No matter how I feel about Nicole, I mean she is still your wife, not for much longer even so I shouldn’t have gotten.

I heck not. I mean, it’s understandable. You have every right to be upset. She, uh, she basically ruined your relationship with Eric from day one. Yeah. You meet with all her unannounced visits to his room or her decision to offer him a job, or better yet to come over and give him another comforting hug. Oh, those were great, weren’t they?

I loved walking in on those, but, but, but remember, we’re just friends. Yeah. Friends who can’t keep their hands or lips off of each other. I mean, Eric said that he was in denial about his feelings about her, and I believe that, but Nicole , you’re right. You know, I don’t think I’ve ever met a more passive aggressive, just selfish.

Sorry, I’m doing it again. No, no, no. Hey, go ahead. Let all out. As much as I love to keep ripping, Nicole, it’s, it’s just not productive, but it’ll feel good. Mm. Not in the long. If I really wanna get past this, I have to rise above. Meaning when I made this decision, I, I had to ask myself, what is it that I really want?

And I decided that it wasn’t being a single mother, not under these circumstances.

It was the hardest decision that I’ve ever made that I, I made it and. I need to honor my decision by focusing all my energy on creating the life that I want. You know, so any trash talking negative self pity, I, I just need to put that aside and do what my daddy taught me and be the bigger person there.

Go d your daddy Marks, he was a wise man. Yeah. So I mean, Nicole. Eric, no more power to her. Obviously, I, I wasn’t up to the task. Don’t sell yourself. Sure. Fix was in. I wish I would’ve known. No, I did know and I chose to ignore it. You know, I, I looked right past the fact that when you get involved with Nicole Walker or Eric Brady, you choose to end up like all the rest that have come before.

Just a speed bump on their never ending road toss. Uh, well, gps let assistant know where the next exit is. . , get me the heck outta here, right? Oh man. Sorry,

Fernandez.

Okay. All right. Okay, well, uh, thanks a lot for letting me.

Something up at the station. Yeah, I guess you could say that Eric, spend the night in lockup. What, Sean? Why can’t you just refuse to cooperate with prosecution? Look, Trask has other witnesses from the bar that night. If this goes to trial, she’s gonna call me and I’m gonna have no choice but to testify.

This is outrageous. Who are you calling?

Melinda? SLM Peterson. No, actually I’m calling about my new client, Eric Brady. No, you listen. I just handed you not one, but two career making cases.

And you can settle up by putting an end to this witch hunt against Mr. Brady

Trask. Agreed to drop all the charges, so said I’m free to go. Yes, sir.

I don’t even know how to pay you. Oh, personal check. Venmo, PayPal. We start with breakfast. . I’d like that. Hey Eric, you can’t just leave. We need to talk. There’s nothing left to say.

And surely this, this Sloan person has to know that her mother’s death was an accident. No, she doesn’t. She’s convinced that it’s murder. Can’t you talk to her, help her see things from your side? Oh no. Gee, you don’t understand. She is so angry, so hell bent on revenge that she is not gonna stop. She’s not gonna give.

She is determined to take me down. She has made that her life’s mission. Me and now my mom and Abe, my Aunt Bell will not let that happen. What is already happening? I am destroying my parents’ lives. Yeah. You listen to me, Mrs. Carver. We will get you out of here and get you to Capitol City and we will weather this.

Just like we have every other since you captured my heart. Okay. Okay. You’ll be sworn in as governor and I’ll be right there by your side as first gentleman. Just like we planned. You know, the city council. City Council may have done me a favor. What are you doing? Giving them my answer. Hello Cass. I just wanted to, uh, Give the city council my answer to what they’ve asked of me, and I’ve been, and he has decided he’s not going to step down, not now, not ever.

Eric got drunk and assaulted EJ and. I can’t, Eric’s never even raised his voice. I can’t imagine him putting hands on anyone, let alone a cop. No, you haven’t known Eric that long. It’s not the first time that this guy has spiraled outta control. Really? Oh yeah. He dodged a bullet hunter and something tells me that this is just the beginning of St.

Eric’s fall from.

Whoa. Whoa, buddy. Slow down there. Big guy. Sorry. The food and lockup was akin to something that a cat regurgitated. I was gonna say not great, but yeah, I can be, uh, overly blunt at time some. Sure. You find that very unappealing. Absolutely not. It works for you. It works for me too. And thank you again. I really appreciate this.

Hey, Eric. I’m, I’m glad to see you out. DJ told me he dropped the charges. He had nothing to do with getting me outta lockup, my lawyer did. Thank you. Sloan Peterson, Al Squire. Pleasure to meet you. Nicole Walker. I’m Oh, I know exactly who you are. Mrs. Robbins, Roberts, Keka Dam. Cook Brady Hernandez. I forgetting.

Anybody like me, your reputation precedes you.

Oh, seeing Eric, like this just really scares me. He can handle Sloan maybe, but what about his. You know, he was drinking and driving the last time he was in a place this dark, some really bad things happened. I know. Listen, I understand your concern, honey, but Eric’s come a long way since then. Yes, right now he’s love a rough patch, but he’s gonna get through it.

I pray. You’re right. You have that go Pauline’s waiting for me. You want me to go with you? Help explain, uh, Eric’s choice of attorney. Uh, no, I think I got it. I will. Tell Abe that even though Sloane got her tentacles into my brother, there’s no way in hell I’m gonna let her cause any more damage to his family.

Paulina, what are you doing? You heard me? Councilman Winthrop, my husband is staying put. No, no. You don’t have to worry about any trouble arising from a being married to a governor at an invest. How can I be so sure easy? Because I won’t be Governor Beth. I know. I know. I’ve been elected, but I haven’t been sworn in yet, and I’ve decided that I never will be.

Why didn’t you tell me any of this when we were together? Because I was ashamed. I had an affair with a married man, and I didn’t want anyone know about it. Not you, not Allie, remember, would’ve judged you. I know that now. I honestly thought that all of this was behind me, and then this Sloan Peterson showed up in town and, and then all of a sudden I’m being arrested in the middle of the square.

I’m so sorry I wasn’t here for that. I left Salem at the worst time possible. I I wasn’t here for you. I wasn’t here when my grandma Susan died. What? Your, your grandma died. Allie didn’t tell you? No, but she, she probably didn’t wanna lay anything else on me, but I am so sorry Johnny. I know how much you loved her.

I did.

I mean, I’m just going on about my life and, and you, you’re, you must be hurting so bad. I am. Yeah. Um, so is my dad, coach Lee Projections. I know they’re here somewhere. Oof.

So much for instantaneous relief.

I’ll get it housed.

Oh my God.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Oh, please. Let the bad sun go away.

Good morning, sunshine. Oh God.

Hey, handsome. What you in for?

Oh no,

there’s no hot water. The other is you just have to turn on the shower 10 minutes before you wanna take a shower.

Oh, you look adorable. Show up last night. I, uh, wasn’t expecting to sleep over. Oh, just go take a shower and grab one of, uh, race ropes. I don’t want whatever. You’re making a good cold

and I’ve decided. I’m owning this. Look, you’re gonna wake up to me in this row for the rest of your life. Oh, that’s fine by me because I know how easy it is to take it off.

Johnny. Hey, what’s going on? Hey, uh, I’m, I’m sorry to call you so early. I just, I had to know, do you still think we’re doing the right. Johnny, I’m just not sure anymore. God, I hate keeping it quiet. Wendy. You have to. Okay. You can’t tell Gabby this is so unfair to her. Look, you don’t know Gabby like I do.

Okay? If she, if she finds out, did my dad and your brother brainwashed Stephan, she’s gonna make him pay, you know, you know how tortured she is. Knowing Stephan doesn’t love her. It doesn’t love her is an understatement. I can’t stand the sight of her. Yeah, exactly. Okay. And she will be out for blood if she finds out that Lee and my dad had anything to do with it.

So please just stick to the plan. Okay then. Okay. I will try to put my dance aside.

This is our little secret and it will stay that way, Wendy. I didn’t know you were home

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

You have to stop calling so early. The phone woke alley up. Oh God. Did, did she hear you? Its me. Call you later. Sorry about that. No, it’s fine. Chanel Henry a daycare, so I got plenty of sleep. Um, when did you get back During the night. Did you see my note about why I was gone? Yeah, I did. Um, mind me asking who you were talking to just now?

Oh, it was Johnny. Did he go along on this trip you took? Yeah. Oh, so the two of you went on some mysterious trip together and now he’s calling you first thing in the morning. What happened between you two? Unless, of course, that’s the thing that you’re promising to keep a secret.

Oh, thank you. You’re welcome.

Best way, best ranch shadows I’ve ever had. Oh, of course there. It’s cause I’m an excellent cook. So, um, after we get married we can move in here. Um, Hey, I do this every morning. . So not happening . So you’d rather stand Salem in? No, I mean that’s not what I. I don’t know. I don’t wanna move in with my brother again.

I guess we can find our own place. Yeah, exactly. And when we do, you can spend a couple morning learning how to make.

Oh no. What a shame.

Now what? Don’t look at me now. I’ve really never approved of the facing public property, but it sure does look like the public opinion’s turning against you. Oh, I know how much you hated it when I was released on bail, not. I’m very happy the judge will let you out. Those spirit claw you make her to die for.

And then there’s the fact that the inmate who took your old cell is none other than your mother.

Paul,

I didn’t expect to see you here. Hmm, and I didn’t expect to see the dude who married me to Abe in the next L. I didn’t expect to see that either. You are Marlena’s son and he used to be a priest. They picked up the wrong guy. Right? Wrong. Oh, what? Don’t keep me a suspect. What’d they get? You? Assault and battery.

Ooh. Ex priest has a temper under the right circumstance. Yes, he does. Mm. So who you assault and batter? SMUGs. Son of a bitch who’s had it coming for a very long time.

Oh my God. What did we do? Isn’t it?

But how, how did it happen? You don’t remember? I’m going to try and not take that personally,

but that much drink could cause havoc on anyone’s memory. So, yeah, I, I, I do remember the two of us getting pretty. Yeah, I was a wreck over my mother. And you were a wreck over Eric. So last night we decided to drown. Our saw was in alcohol and then we came back here. Line Rapid. Oh God. Oh God. Eric was right about what?

I get dumped by a man and I get drunk and I turn into a helpless.

Okay. Okay, Mary. I’m not a hopeless sled and maybe I didn’t sleep with ej. Uh, come in

good morning, sunshine, or maybe I’m dead wrong.

I have to get going now. Yeah. I have an appointment with the florist. I know how much you’ve been looking forward to that. Oh, um, how long does it take for the shower to warm up? It’s okay. I’ll just, you don’t have to be there while I’m picking up the table decorations so I can just show up later. Say I love everything and hit the floor is my credit card.

You get hun. Quick . See, I told you. We make the perfect. Or we will mind you learn a few recipes. Yeah, I’ll get right on that. Okay. I’ll see you. Love you. I love you too.

That’s why I did what I did. What I told Johnny I to keep quiet about was, Oh, I get it. The two of you’re hugging up, right? Oh, that’s fine with me. Honestly, it’s not my business. We don’t want other people finding out, you know, my brother, his dad. Yeah. No, I, I will not tell anybody thanks. It’s just, it’s it’s pretty new and, and we just wanna keep it to ourselves for now anyway.

Yeah, I mean, like I said, what you and Johnny do is none of my business . Well, the thing is, I know, but she used to be married. Oh yeah. That might have been a sore subject for her before, but, um, she has much bigger things to worry about now. If you wanna come after someone, you come after me. Oh, I intend to.

My mother wasn’t even in town the night your mother died. Oh. But she showed up fast enough to make sure she cut a check to the college to cover your ass. That’s a crime. My mother, she was trying to protect me. She knew I was getting railroaded. It must be nice to have a mother takes care of you like that because of you.

I don’t have that. Or a father. The only protection I have is my knowledge. Do you know? You’re the reason I had the Uck so hard. Yeah. So that you could find out what it feels like to have everything that you cared about, taken away from you.

Baby, you look like you’re dealing with a world class hangover. Well, because I am. You’re not gonna toss your cookies, are you? Because I, I can’t take that. Even when Chanel was little. I can’t, I’m not gonna do. So you punched EJ because you were drunk? Something I wanted to do a long time. Mm oh. EJ seems to rub just about everybody the wrong way.

Yeah. He likes to do that. Mm. My youngest daughter used to be married to Johnny, his son for a while. Oh. I made a mistake of thinking, thinking that he’d wanna make a good impression on the mother of his daughter-in-law. , but he called Chanel a gold digger. To my face, it sounds like something he would do.

So what did he, what did he do that made you wanna haul off and punch him?

What he said about Chanel wasn’t true. He only said it because he wanted to hurt you and her. And what he said about me was, The only reason why he said it because he liked to look on my face, so I decided to rearrange his.

I brought you some breakfast. Ooh, yeah. I’m gonna take a hard pass some breakfast. Ooh. Especially that green stuff. Ah, ah, ah. The green stuff is a guaranteed hangover. Cure my mi Mar’s recipe . You had a Meemaw. Mm-hmm. , Meemaw Banks. My mother’s mother, she passed down the recipe and my mother swore by it, used to brew it up for me.

It offers almost instantaneous relief. Word of honor. Instantaneous, huh? Mm-hmm. . Oh, here’s fun. Near eye.

Oh, I don’t think this is made right. Mm-hmm. , it’s supposed to taste like that. Mother always said the only way to make sure it doesn’t come back up is to gag on the way down. No drink up. Then I’m in good shape. Mm-hmm.

she always looked out for me. Especially when I couldn’t look out for myself.

Tony, uh Gabby. Hi. Hey, um, I’m really sorry about Susan. Yeah, thanks. Uh, I really miss. She was one of a kind that’s killing my dad. I wish I’d been here for Oh, that’s right. Yeah. At the accident you were jet sitting around the road with Wendy. Yeah. You know about that, huh? Lee was, was ready to fire Wendy. I had to talk him down.

You do know that taking the company Jet out is a little over the top. Wendy, just start at that top. Yeah, I guess you’re right. Question for you though. Made you pick Indonesia as your romantic getaway?

I can’t believe Chanel was in jail. Yeah, that’s not all. Wow. I’ve been gone a long time. Honestly, it all happened really, really fast. But why? Well, there was something in Chanel’s past that I didn’t know about.

Wendy, you’re back. I just found out that you got arrested. I’m so sorry. Thanks. But you’re here. So what does that mean? They dropped the charges? No, I’m just out on bail. Um, I thought you were gonna open sos. Oh, I did. And then my day pretty much fell apart.

That grows on you, doesn’t it? Oh yeah. like a fungus , but I am feeling a little bitter. Thank you, cook for pad. I just provided the recipe, mom, not just for this, but for letting me stay the night. Sleeping in the office leaves something to be desired. Waking up in Egyptian cotton sheets is the bright spot of my morning

I wonder how Eric’s morning is sleeping one off on a caught in a jail. I’d say his morning is exactly as he deserves.

Paulina, can we not talk about last night anymore? Ah, I got my own EJ to deal with. Is he the reason why you. It’s a she. Hell have no fury, like a bitch with an ax to grind. I’m sorry. She’s not just going after me. She’s making it her business. Go after my daughter. What? I wouldn’t give, not the smirk of that phase of her.

Well, go ahead. Take your best shot.

I can’t believe Eric was drunk. I mean, he’s been sober since, since he caused that accident that killed Daniel. He told me last night, it’s just, I never seen him that drunk. I feel awful for him. , you’re joking. I mean it. He called you a slut. Me The devil encounter then punched me in the face. I. And then you backed me up when I decided to press charges against him.

I had several martinis by then. You’re not having second thoughts, are you?

Now that I’m sober, yeah. I’m having second thoughts.

She’s ready to take me. Now that there’s this set of bars between us, actually I just came to check out how you’re enjoying your new accommodations. Bit of a comedown from Governor Elect. I’ll be back on top. You’ll see. I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you. And by the way, your daughter, she um, she says hello.

You stay away from my baby. Your devotion to her is touching, but once you worry, you’ll be able to fight all her battles for her as soon as the two of you are serving time for which you did to my mother. I know how painful your mother’s death must have been, but that doesn’t change the fact it was an accident.

No, push my mother off that roof when we both know it. I don’t know any such thing. And you, you convinced the authority that my mother killed herself. So look, you can just drop this victim act. This is not gonna work for you anymore. This is not an act. I’m on this side of the boss. You did that to me because my mother was your victim and I’m your victim.

This Sloan sounds like someone you don’t wanna cross. Tell me about. Do you think she’s the one who wrote Murderer on the Window? Yeah. Who else would do something like that? She is not going to stop trying to make my life hell. You wouldn’t even crossed paths with Sloan’s mother if she hadn’t invited you and lied to you up until that roof and then she attacked snow.

And then I tried to push her off of me and she lost her balance and fell. That’s really how it happened. Yes. Yeah. You know that and I know that, but nobody’s gonna convince Sloan that her mother wasn’t out to get me. Why was that? Her husband was one of my professors and I had an affair with him. Oh. And right before he drank himself to death.

He told Sloan that her mother’s death wasn’t actually a suicide like everyone thought he told her that I pushed her. Oh my God, that’s awful. And never since then, Sloan has been out to get me and it’s working. And now I am being charged with murder and my mom is, is in jail for supposedly covering it up.

And what scares me is that I don’t think Sloane’s gonna stop there. I’m afraid that she’s not gonna stop until she goes after everyone that I.

So wait, if I went to Jakarta, what, where should I stay? What should I do actually, what should I buy? Uh, you know, I, I, I really don’t know much about the place. We made us come back right when we got there. I could see that it was beautiful though. Uh, maybe you and Lee could go there for your honeymoon.

Good. I’ll put it on the list. Yeah. You guys haven’t made plans. Well, no. How come? I mean, you, you’re getting married in a couple of weeks. Lee’s been really busy and I dunno, anything about planning honeymoon? I’ve never been on one, so Really? Yeah, my first husband and I, we didn’t have a lot of money and romance wasn’t in the picture when I married Stefan.

I fell in love with him later and actually talking about going on a honeymoon when I lost him. I don’t even know why I’m telling you all of this because Stephan. Nothing to do with me or probably never did. So, you know what, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry about Susan. Gabby. I have to tell you something.

Oh, blueberry pancakes. The blueberries were in the fridge. You did not have to do this. You guys have been so nice about letting me stay here. Please. You’ve hardly even been home. Yeah, but you’re going through such a rotten time here. I’ll get this up. Hey, if the woman wants to make us pancakes, let her make us pancakes.

Anytime I can help with the cooking, just let me know. Thanks.

Mm. These are great. Let’s see.

Hmm. Hmm. They really are. Yeah. I was starving. Maybe eating something will help make you feel better. Anyway, I, I don’t need a distraction. So tell me about your trip. . So, um, it sounds like it was exciting. Why did you rush back? You know, I hate to disappoint you, but it was mostly work stuff.

What did you wanna tell me? It’s about your wedding, eh, ladies, I made it. Hey. Yeah, right on time to help me pick everything. Yeah, you go ahead. I just gotta. Talk to Johnny about his little trip to Jakarta and uh, I’ll be right there. Go easy on him. Okay? Yeah. Find me later. Yeah.

You were just about to tell her what I did. Stephan, right?

Erica’s such a knack for making you feel guilty. Did he learn that while studying to be a priest? I don’t feel guilty. . I don’t, I just don’t think he should have been thrown in jail. He punched me in the face. Well, because you said he was stupid enough to lose me and the baby. I thought you didn’t remember anything from last night.

Well, that’s hard to forget. It’s junk as I was,

um, by the way, uh, did we have sex?

No good.

I could call the DA’s office and tell them I no longer wish to press charges or Sean Brady. He might not be so forgiving. I know.

If you would like me to make that call, I will for you.

If you think that nailing you and your daughter makes me happy, you’re wrong. I loved my mother. Nothing that I do will bring her back to. Chanel didn’t start this, your daddy did. When he seduced her, Chanel did the seduce her, and I’m sure this wasn’t the first time he used his position to take advantage of a pretty female student.

Any good PI will have no trouble digging up his other conquests. So if you wanna blame somebody for your mother’s death, you blame him. I just had a thought. Why don’t you pull some of those strings? You’re so famous for pulling. Get you and Chanel thrown into the same joint that your other daughter’s serving.

Time in for murder. God, get this snake outta here. Don’t let her in here again. I can’t just take you upstairs. Miss Brady’s here. Who? Oh, Brady, your lawyer. Oh. Oh. Good lot to, well, you can also tell Ms. Brady that I have hard evidence that details what you did to cover up Chanel’s crime. And tell her I said good luck to her because she’s gonna need it.

What are you gawing at?

I know Eric hurt me, but I don’t think he should spend any more time in jail.

As you wish,

straight to voicemail, it’s EJ Dira. Ms. Trask, please call me back at your earliest convenience. It’s about the assault charges I filed last night.

Satisfied. Yes,

I’m willing to do what you want. But don’t you think Eric deserves to find out that he can’t get away with treating you like rubbish?

I didn’t want to witness that scene anymore than you wanted me. Fortunately I couldn’t exactly leave the room.

Well, I have good to despise pulling a price. Hmm, I know, I heard. Well, just so you know, if she thinks that that two bit bimbo lawyer of hers is gonna get her out of this one, she’s gonna be sorely disappointed. Phil Brady’s not a two bit lawyer. She’s not a bimbo. And how do you know? Because she’s my sister.

Alright, well I would stay and help with the dishes, but I actually have to run the visiting hours at Salem City Jail. Just started, I am actually going to walk out with you. Um, it’s time to pick up Henry from daycare and I also said I’d taken see Santa at Barons also. I’m gonna stop by the bakery and check on the wedding cake design for your brother’s wedding.

Wait, you’re doing the cake for Lee and Gabby’s wedding? Yes. . No . Yeah. And the man was very specific about what he wanted. Why am I not surprised? Yeah, it’s okay. I mean, he seems really excited about marrying Gabby. I’m sure you’re really excited too. Oh yeah. Excited. That’d be me.

Okay. I saw the look on your face when I showed up. You’re just about to tell Gabby what you learn. Ja. What? What I learned. What are you talking about? Look, I already talked to Ralph. He told me everything. You know it talked to my sister. She said you keep her mouth shut. She said you would too. Have you changed your mind?

Nope. I won’t say anything. You sure your dad was in on this? You seem pretty eager to get something on him. Not anymore. All right. Not after he. Lost his mom. Her revenge doesn’t appeal to me. Get that. You made the right decision. Look, I said I’d keep my mouth shut. I didn’t say I’m okay with what you did to Steph.

I’ll tell you the truth. I think it sucks. I think you suck. I don’t care what you think of me, just stay outta my way. Must be nice just going through life without a. Hey, uh, is everything okay here? Yeah. Yeah. I was just telling your, uh, your fiance here. What a lucky guy he is. I’ll see you guys.

What are you doing here? Sally? Here? No, she and Chanal are gone. Come in. How much did she hear when I called earlier? Oh, she is heard me say that I keep the secret. Ah, uh no, it, it’s okay. She thought that you and I were hooking up and I said she was right. And that we don’t want anybody to know. Nice.

That’s Allie for you. Jumping to crazy conclusions. . Well, it was worse than that. She was all for it. Well then I guess we’ll just have to keep her thinking she’s right about us. Um, anyway, the reason that I came over was because I just had a major run in with your brother. Why? He got me talking to Gabby and he thought I was about to tell her what he did.

Were you? No, no, not at first, but then she started talking about how much she loves Stephan, and I could tell she still does. And so, yeah. Yeah, for a second I thought about telling her the truth and that’s when we walked up. So she still doesn’t know anything. No. And your brother made it very clear that we would pay if she finds out, gets like.

I think it’s gonna be harder to keep the secret than we thought.

The tables are gonna look really pretty. What’d you think? I’ll just be looking at you . Who are you talking so intently with Johnny about. Oh, well he can’t believe that. We haven’t picked our honeymoon yet. Huh? We should do that tonight. I can’t wait for this wedding to happen. Me neither. You know Johnny said you were a lucky guy, but I think we’re both lucky.

Thank God I found you.

I’m so glad to see you, but. Why did that cop say he was bringing me up here to see my lawyer? Well, bell was here, but she had to take an important call. So they said we could have a quick visit until she gets back. How are you? Are they treating you all right? Oh, takes more than a jail cell to keep me down, but, uh, some idiot cop let’s Sloan come down there and glow.

She’s having quite the morning. What? What do you mean someone scribbled a murderer on the baker? Oh, what? Yep. And it’s gone now. But Sloan showed up while I was cleaning it. Oh, well, she’s still in here. You know, I, I don’t, I don’t want you to have to deal with her again. You, you can get out of it. No, no. I’m not going anywhere.

Chanel, no, I mean it. You were here for me when I needed you. You’re my mama and I love you and I am going to do the same thing for you.

That’s really your.

Then, I’m sorry if I offended you. It’s okay. So why is she just here to see Paulina then? I mean, isn’t she gonna defend you too? I asked her, but she refused. Why? Well, let’s say I got a little hostile with her husband and he ended up on the ground. You knocked him down. It’s funny, you don’t really seem like the kind of guy I do a thing like that.

It’s been a hard week. I mean, I found out some things I didn’t want to know. That’s no excuse.

Sometimes life it gets so hard to take. Yeah. And anger’s the only thing that keeps you going. Acting out on that anger. Leave you needing a lawyer, which you still do need, right?

Yes, I definitely do. So what about me?

Well, I have to take a shower and get going. I promise Holly that I’d find us a place to live today. Oof. That could take more than. Well, I can’t leave Holly with Maggie indefinitely, and I kind of miss being with her . I have an idea. Why don’t you and Holly stay here until you find something? Oh, I, I, I, I couldn’t impose after all these years, you haven’t realized that Harold and the staff do all the work,

Yeah. But you’re still grieving for Susan and you are still grieving for your hopes for you and Eric.

Yeah, misery really does love company. Unless you have a better offer than the Dira Mansion. I don’t think so.

Oh, okay. Fine. Except . Good. Good. Oh,

to New Beginnings, thank.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Go home with you. Sorry, pal. I look, I know I have had a few drinks. I am not drunk. I, okay. Calm down. I wasn’t suggesting anything lascivious. I was nearly offering you one of our many guest bedrooms. Oh well honey, are you sure or better use for them than to rest the weary head of the fellow damage saw and I wouldn’t be any trouble.

No trouble at all, truthfully told I could use the company. Okay. What the hell? Ow. Oh, you’re a little more blotter than you originally forget. Oh, lemme talk. You come here. I’m fine. No you are not. You’re a mess. Come here.

Oh God. Give me a strength. How are you doing with ej?

Leaving now? If you excuse us leaving. What the hell you going? Not it’s any of your business, but she’s coming home with me,

Jada. Don’t worry about it. Okay. All right. Just feel better. All right.

Uh, from the look on your face, I think it’s safe to say that that didn’t go well. Yeah. Trask isn’t backing down. I didn’t think she. Yeah, she’s gonna charge Paulina with this so-called coverup. So now she has to spend the night in jail. Oh, Paulina was elected like two seconds ago. The pavers are gonna have a field day with this.

Yeah, I’m sure that had nothing to do with draft’s decision. Isn’t that woman? She lives to see her name on the front page. How’s Paulina doing? Well she said she thinks she can handle whatever Sloan and craft dish out now that Chanel’s outta jail so well for now. She could still be extradited the uk. So you bet you were cut out for your counselor.

Hmm. So does Stephanie. I know she’s supposed to be some PR genius, but I don’t know how you spend this one.

Alex, what are you doing here? Well, when you canceled on our day, you said you were busy and I thought maybe you wouldn’t find the time to eat. So thank you. That is so thoughtful. And also unnecessary. See, when you told me that you were busy, I assumed with work. My bad.

Okay. Well, it’s shorthand and typing at a hundred words per minute. Shorthand and typing. Yes. I have to wear hat and gloves and fetch the boss’s coffee too. Okay. Let’s just go at this from another direction. What are you good at? Fast learner. Mm-hmm. fast fingers. Mm-hmm. , excellent fashion sense. Okay. Well, you just advised my brother that he should not wear a shirt for the rest of his life.

Exactly. Look, Sonny, I get why you can’t give me a job at Titan, but could you at least give me a reference right. Well, I know Paulina won’t, so, so we definitely have our work cut out for us. Yeah.

Sunny, I know you don’t have to be doing this and I certainly don’t deserve it, but I do appreciate it. Um, right now I have nothing better to do.

Yeah, your doppel was wrong. Sometimes my schemes actually do work. Like tonight. For instance, I wasn’t really gonna go visit EJ dressed like Susan. I just needed Brady to see me in a new light. And guess what? It worked

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

I thought, uh, you were putting Rachel to bed. Yeah, she was stalling. Her grandfather wanted her too. Tell her another story. Were you having a full on conversation with that doll? Well, I don’t know how much you heard. Just enough to be concerned.

You know, I, I took this job, right, trying to put the bad guys away, and still there’s so many of ’em out there that are just running around free. And meanwhile, I’m arresting the likes of Pauline and Chanel. I know, I know. It’s been a rush couple weeks. But you have tomorrow off, you can relax and regroup.

No, not anymore. Jada just called, she said she needs a couple days off medical leave. Is everything okay? Yeah. Yeah. She said she’s fine. She’s just recovering from a medical procedure. Really? What kind of medical procedure? What did she say? He said, I’m going home with him. Are you drunk? Passing judgment, Derek.

Whew. How? Out of character, you’re drunk and you’re going home with him. I am not drunk. And even if she were, it would be none of your damned. You know what? You stay outta this. This isn’t a good idea. You remember what happened last time? Oh, are you referring to when I slept with Xander? If you’re worried about my marriage or my reputation, well stop because it’s shot to hell.

Yep. Nicole Walker, fallen woman. Well, I’m worried about you. You, you are butting in. Yeah. Well, you remembered that was the biggest mistake of your life. She’s looking at the biggest mistake of her life. So you’re gonna double down and go home with this poly. The hell is wrong with.

What happened to that candy dish? Oh, uh, uncle Vic is watching his blood sugar.

I’m sorry. Was that your stomach? Neither that, or a small plane is coming in for. Didn’t you eat dinner yet? I’m on a budget of $0 a day. I cleared out the donuts at an AA meeting for lunch. Leo, you’re in aa? No, but they were free. Oh my God. Okay, I think I can take a hint. What? Hint? I’m gonna go talk to Cook, see if he can lift with something up.

I hope I’m not overstepping. No. I think we’re way past that point for anybody.

Oh, son, your phone

will, well, let me know what’s up. It’s Leo. That’s not what it looks like. I told Chad he could go home to his kids, but he said he’d stay. So I was just showing him how grateful I am for his health. We’re in the middle of a crisis here. What’s going on? Well, we were about to issue a PR statement for Paulina, but then, um, I normally wouldn’t share this, but it’s about to hit the news any minute now.

Pauline has been arrested for what? The DA came up with some bogus charges about a criminal coverup. It’s all just an obvious ploy to keep her name in the. , which is sort of hard to counter because, well, they’re not exactly untrue. We’ve been wrestling with a revised statement, but I, I don’t know. It’s just, it’s sounding more generic than I want it to be.

Oh. Do you think a fresh set of eyes would help, or? Well, if you’d be willing to take a look, that would be amazing. Obviously, I don’t have any other plans anymore, and I did stick my neck up to steal that file from Sloan. So I got skin in the game too, and she knows also my friend and I would love to help her and her mom.

Let’s give her a little look. Oh, what do we have here?

Oh yeah, they are in a hell of a mess.

Uh, Jada didn’t tell me what kind of procedure and honestly, it’s, it’s not really my business. Right. Well, no, I mean, I’m just asking because, um, Eric told my mom that Jada’s pregnant, she is . Wait, do you think this has something to do with the baby? Well, I mean, isn’t that likely, how many medical procedures do pregnant women have?

Do you think that, uh, what She had an abortion? No. No, no. Especially because she told my mom that she was. Going through with the baldness and Eric is so excited about being a dad. No, I just, I just hope nothing went wrong. Why don’t you just go ahead and say it, Eric? Huh? Call me a slut. I’m calling you anything.

I think he’s sleeping with EJ is a big mistake. I didn’t say I was gonna sleep with him. I said I was going home with him to his. To his guest bedroom because I don’t have a house because I blew up my marriage to be with you, and now you and RA both hate me and I’m sleeping in my office. I don’t hate you.

Of course you do because you think I talked your girlfriend into having an abortion. I just don’t know why you talked to her at all. She doesn’t have to listen to any more of your, get your hands off for her.

So what are you so concerned about? I just, you know, I think it’s a little strange you talking to inanimate objects. I mean, Rachel and I have been playing dolls so much. Uh, the Dawson, I are on a first name basis. How maternal, by the way, we got, um, Rachel’s Christmas list. She texted it to me and, uh, it’s, she texted it.

Yeah. That’s how they’re doing it these days, apparently. So, but we have all the traditional items. We have, uh, bike, we have a real pony, we have, uh, wrong. New item added to the list. Um, she says, more than anything in the world, what I want is for mommy and daddy to be married.

What? No, Sunny’s fine. He’s just in the other room getting us some food. All right. So Cook said, what are you doing on my phone? I’m talking to your husband. Well, hi. Hi. Yes. No, everything’s fine. I was just helping Leah look for some jobs online. Yes, I remember everything that he did to. But a lot, a lot has changed since you’ve been gone.

I, it’s can look. Can we just, can we talk about this? When you come home for Christmas, we’ll have snow and missile tell,

what do you mean you’re not coming home?

You put Rachel up to this, didn’t you? Of course not Every kid wants their parents to be together. Rachel’s no different. Yeah, but now she actually thinks it’s a possibility because you blackmailed your way into this house. Well, I don’t see it that way. I don’t think there’s any other way to see it.

Kristen, I’m sure you didn’t bother telling her that. She’s getting her hopes up for nothing. Okay. If I wanted to get married to you, I wouldn’t whisper it in Rachel’s Sierra. I would just make it a condition of our agreement. In another month, Marna, Kate and Kayla are gonna get sick again. I will just march you to the altar.

In exchange for the organ. It’s going cure them. Yeah. Mm-hmm. . And you’re just working your way up to that, aren’t you? No, I’m not. And I never,

Jada told me the other day that she and Eric broke off. Well, yeah, but they’re still gonna raise the baby together. I mean, Eric has always wanted to be a father and he would never ever leave Jada High and drive, but Ray said that. Ray said that Eric and Nicole back together. Yeah, having a baby is complicated, but still Eric would be a really good dad.

Now you worried about him, aren’t you? Hopefully it’s nothing. I’ll give him a call tomorrow. You wanna get outta here? Yeah, I’m gonna try to get Paul rained in the morning, so there’s not really anything else I can do here tonight. So what do you say? We, uh, drown our sorrows at small bar. Sounds like a plan.

All right, let’s go.

You don’t have to go home with him. Oh. Are you offering an alternative? A room at your dad’s bar, perhaps. Maybe next door to your ex with an axt grind. I’m trying to overlook. You beat a Dirtbag because your mom died. You keep my mother’s name out of your mouth. Where do you suggest I go, Eric? He probably thinks you should go to house if you don’t stay out of this.

I swear. Swear. What? What? Hmm? You gonna knock my block off? Go on, take a. You know, it might make you feel better to blame me for your screwed up life, but the fact of the matter is it’s all on you. You didn’t have to lose your baby. And Nicole, that was your choice.

Oh, what? Your job, your job? No, no, no. Of course, of course. I understand. Why, why wouldn’t I understand?

Look, I, I’ll talk to you later. Okay. Bye. What? No, I. Not tonight.

Sunny. I’m sorry. Yeah, me too.

Hmm.

It’s wrong. You don’t like it? Oh, what’s that smell? Oh, stinky tofu. The best I’ve ever had. Mind you. All right here in the little town of Salem. I couldn’t believe it. And you need to try it. Okay. If you start to feed her, I’m outta here. Oh, great. No, no. We have well established boundaries. Boundaries.

Hmm. I mean, that’s delicious. Maybe I’m more of a tofu fan than I thought. Ah, broadening boundaries. That’s my specialty.

Okay. So you guys have both read the statement. What do we think? I think it looks solid. We’re kind of. Tepid. I mean, I really think that you need to go on the offense here rather than just running away from the accusations. Yeah. Pauline can’t admit to anything. There’s an ongoing case. No, I’m not saying we gotta get into the details of it.

What I mean, Chad, is there anything that you wouldn’t do to protect your kids? No. No. What parent wouldn’t, I mean, at the end of the day here, isn’t that all that Pauline is really guilty. Why should she have to apologize for that? No, you’re right. She shouldn’t. You just gave me a great idea.

What the hell is wrong with you? Oh God. Are you okay? I think so. What’s going on? Your brother assaulted me. Is that true? Well, I didn’t push myself to the ground. What happened? He got his niggers in a bunch because his girlfriend had an abortion and he decided it was Nicole’s fault. Oh, here, that’s fright.

So was Nicole’s personal life. Alright. Right. All right. All right. All right. Calm down. Okay. Come on Eric. Let’s go outside. Hey, go. What? Get your hands off of me. Have you been drinking? Have you? Yeah, I had a drink so, Eric, you don’t drink anymore. What’s a choice of not an alcoholic? Tonight I chose to have a drink.

How many did he have? I don’t know. He just got here. So you had a drink and you got in a car and you drove and you came to a bar to drink more. What are you the alcohol police? No, I’m just a friend. Yeah. Like I said, let’s go outside and get a nice breath here. I said gets your hands off.

I look skeptical because I am. What’s stopping you from upping your auntie on your blackmail? Grady? When I got out of prison, you wouldn’t talk to me. You wouldn’t even look at me. And now, . I, I, I mean, I had to break through that wall somehow. And now look at us. We’re living together, we’re raising our daughter, and I’m not gonna keep giving you ultimatums.

Really? Mm-hmm. . No, I don’t wanna force you into something that, uh, you don’t want. But what we had was always real.

Right. Yeah. I, I’m glad to hear you say that. You are. I am. Because if you are since. About not wanting to manipulate me into a situation against my will. If you truly do love me and care about me, prove it and just give me the orchid.

So why isn’t we coming home for Christmas? It’s the same old stuff. He’s doing another movie for Peacock and they want the writer to be on set. They’re filming over Christmas apparently. You don’t think he’s lying, do you? No,

of course not. Well then why don’t you just go out there and see him? Because I can’t, and it’s not like he exactly encouraged it. And besides, Gabby’s already made a bunch of plans, Ferrari this winter, so.

Hi. I guess my answering your phone didn’t help. Hey, why, why did you answer my phone? Well, I, I called you and you didn’t hear me, so I thought I could let him know that you were here. I forgot. I’m kind of a trigger for him. Sonny. I swear I was not trying to make any trouble. Yeah. Well you don’t have to try Leo.

You just do.

Yeah, I’m gonna go. I, I really appreciate your help. Uh, looking at the one ads. See ya. We wave.

Why don’t you just stay for dinner? I mean, the, the food’s almost ready. That way you won’t have to have stale donuts Again,

it’s, it’s better, but it’s just, it’s still sounding a little flat to me. Hmm. It is closer though.

Do you know what’s missing? It’s pulling his voice. She would never say, my daughter, she would say My little. You’re right.

There you go. That’s perfect.

If you really want me to believe that you’re not being manipulative anymore, Kristen, if you really want me to believe that you wanna stop blackmail me by using Marlena, Kate, and Kayla’s lives. Then just give me the orchid now.

Oh, Brady, I would really love to do that, , but, um, what would stop you from kicking me out? Calling the cops and then going back to ’em is, Well, I’ll, I’ll tell you what would stop me. Number one would be Rachel’s reaction to having her father kick her mother out on Christmas and send her back to prison. As far as Chloe is concerned, I can’t go back to Chloe Kristen.

She’s with Stephan now. Yeah, but you’re, you’re gonna still move me out and, uh, that would crush Rachel. Rachel? Mm-hmm. , how are you? This living arrangement isn’t so terrible. Isn It you might, you, you really might want to ask Dad and Marlene No. And I’m asking you. I’m asking you, Brady. I mean, we’re raising our daughter together.

She’s happy. I’m happy. Isn’t there just a little part of you that’s happy too?

Oh my God. Are you okay? Yeah. Yeah, I’m okay. Two assaults in one night, and one of them an officer of the law. Aren’t you going to arrest him, officer Brady? Well, are you pressing charges? Why wouldn’t I? Well, EJ. Eric didn’t mean of course he did. Just like he meant to hurt you when he accused you of killing his baby.

You don’t owe him anything. Nicole, not a damned thing.

You’re right. I don’t if EJ wants to press charges and I’m not gonna stand in his way.

I’m sorry man. I don’t have a choice.

To teamwork. Hey, I always said three heads are better than two. Hey, cheers.

Hmm. Well, I hate to tell you this, pal. There’s only two fortune cookies. I didn’t know you’re gonna be hanging out. No worries for you. . Thank you. All right. What does your mind say here?

Help. I’m trapped inside of a Fortune cookie factory. Huh? Top that one. Wow.

What? Oh, it’s silly. Oh my God. What does it.

You’re looking at the man of your dreams.

Do you need any ice for that jaw? All I need is some ice for my scotch. Can I get you anything? Uh, no. Nothing. I think I’ve had enough for the night.

How are you doing?

Not good, Eric. I, I feel responsible for him going off like that tonight. You can’t blame yourself. You even, you agreed that I talked Jada into having an abortion that doesn’t excuse Eric’s behavior tonight. Yes, he wanted a baby, but JD didn’t. She realized that when she was talking to you, and if Eric can’t accept her choice, that’s his.

Yeah, I suppose, but coming from a woman who can’t have a child, I’d do anything to be in her shoes to be having a baby with her,

aj, my, my head is spinning. I don’t know what to think or, or how to feel. It’s just that after Eric got drunk behind the wheel and killed. D I know. I just never thought he’d drink again.

You’re worried about him. His sister is his lawyer, his brother-in-law, his arresting officer. He’s going to get off with a slap on the wrist and hopefully that’ll be the wake up calling needs,

and this is, Is a bonafide criminal and he’s getting me arrested if he pressed charges. I don’t have a choice. Bill. Can you help me here? Do something. I’m sorry I can’t.

Do I look happy? Hmm. While answering the question with a question is still an answer, Kristen, if you suddenly think that I’m just gonna decide to, to marry you, look, I’m not that delusional. No, no. I’m talking about baby steps. We could just start right now by, uh, spending the night together. That’s not a baby step.

Mm. Come on Brady. We’ve had sex before. I have never known you to turn me down. Oh, come on. Hey, now you just wanna give into your feelings. Say, screwing it. Why don’t we just go make love right now?

Oh my God. Oh my God. This one is perfect. Highly paid. Executive assistant, self-starter, organized, thinks outside the box. That is me to a t. Oh wait, it is me, , Paulina’s looking for my replacement. What? That’s not funny. I’m sorry. I just, I can confidently say that Paulina will never find anyone else like you.

You know, you’re right about it.

Right? Well, for our finished year, I should, should probably get home. Thank you for staying really. Yeah, my pleasure. Not sure how much I helped, are you kidding me? I couldn’t have done it without you, both of you.

Well, we’ll see you tomorrow. Hey, thanks for the tofu. Hey, you’re welcome man. Good night. Have a good night. Nice chat.

All right. I would like to apologize for overreacting the way I did before. No, I’m glad you came in when you did A new perspective was just what we needed. I do feel bad about our date though.

Brain check

sounds good to me.

I this suit you Well, uh, it has a bed so. 30 beats my office by a mile. . Well, you’re welcome to stay for as long as you need to. There’s toilet trees in the bathroom and aspirin for the headache you’re going to have in the morning. And if you would like your thing sent here, I can just, oh yeah. Ej, given our history, um, I don’t plan on overseeing My welcome.

Thank you for this.

Oh my God. Is this your mother’s room?

I mean, get these out of your way. Oh, well, are you sure you want me to stay in here? I mean, there’s so many other rooms. It’s the nicest room, and I would like you to have it. You deserve it.

I’ll see you in the morning. Sleep up,

of course, close for the day. There’s nothing the bell can do for you. Listen, Eric, I know that there are extenuating circumstances here, and I get that you’re really upset, okay? But you’re not even facing charges for the worst thing you did here tonight. You assaulted a cop. I barely, my husband touched him.

Okay. Eric, please keep your voice down, right? You were drinking and driving. You punched EJ ejs in the ass, but sure, you know what, you just, you take his side. I mean, after all you slept with him. Are you serious? You want my help and then you provoke me. You know what? You’re on your own. Tomorrow. I’ll get your own lawyer.

I’m sorry. Get him out of my face. Hey Eric, let’s go. Come on, bill. No, we’re gonna get you locked up. Let’s go. Come on. Let’s go.

Sorry

until you hand over that orchid to me.

Nothing’s gonna.

Wait. No, no, no, no, no. Alex. Alex, come on, man. And all of humanity is destroyed. Thanks to you. Oh my God, you’re such a nerd, dude. Please just tell me which one I should wear. Why do you always do this? You’re a grown ass adult, can’t you dress herself? Yeah, I’m pretty damn good at it, but I’m having another date with Stephanie.

I don’t want any mistakes, so please just tell me which one of these I should wear. Neither.

So how’s that? Chris Muscle is coming along there, kiddo. Good, good. May I take a peek? It’s not finished. Jack. No peeking. All right, mind, never mind. And how about you? What would you like for Christmas, young lady? Oh, my present’s already on the. I knew grandbaby. Mm, no greater gift than that. I’m so happy for Eric.

I mean, I know this situation is terribly complicated, but he’s always wanted a child, and when this baby arrives, he will be over the moon.

Hey, Jada, you. I just wanna see how you were doing.

Jada, if you’re listening, I just wanted you to know that I’m here for you if you need anything. Anything at.

Hey.

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

You look lucky. You just shall ghost. Isn’t that where you are now? Don’t be so silly. Could a coach do?

I, I don’t, I don’t know. I don’t know. Um, how is this even possible? Oh, I know, I know, I know. You think that I died in a car crash. I don’t, I don’t think that I, people saw the car explode. You were in it. Hell is Elvis fresh one shit. Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Yeah, that was Mark Twain.

I know. I don’t say, I think it was the King Brady. Yeah. Oh. He tricked the world into thinking that, uh, he met his maker. And you know what to,

oh, thanks. I. I was gonna call you sooner. I am. I’m so sorry about your mother. I appreciate that. Not something tells me that’s not the reason why you’re upset.

No, it’s not. I’ll take a wild guess and say that it’s about Eric.

What makes you say that? Well, I’d say Wild guess is a bit of a mis. And I saw your soon-to-be ex-husband the other night. Oh yeah.

Did he tell you the whole sorted story? Rafe told me that you were leaving him for Eric and that there might already be trouble in Paradise. He didn’t divulge what that trouble might be, but I assume that’s the reason for your upset. If you want to talk about it, you, Jesus. It’s a long story. I heard nothing but time.

Can I join you?

Hey Eric. I think you bartended folded a disappear act. I’m sorry about that. What can I get you? Scott Schmid. Hey, this is on the house. Hey, thanks. You have no idea how much I needed this after the day I’ve. Yeah, I knew what you mean.

Well, if you must know, I came with my own, of course. Great. Well now you can leave, but I have a proposition for you. Yeah. The answer is no. So please feel free to see yourself out.

Go. Okay, see, this is the exact opposite of go. And here it is now, Alex K. What I’m about to show you is going to blow your mind.

Just fix this sentence there. What do you think? I think this is just about ready for print, but let’s read it again out loud just to make sure. Okay. Governor Elect Price maintains the charges against her daughter are politically motivated. She has no doubt the matter will be resolved well before January when she’ll be sworn in as the next governor of this great.

Sounds good to me. Great. Let’s pack it in. Yeah, just in time for me to meet Alex, you have another date.

Hi Abe. Tell Paulina we’re just about to send out that.

Oh my God. When did this happen?

Okay, I’m on it. Bye. What’s going on? Pauline has been arrested

so. What do you think?

Let me get this straight. Leo. You want me to hire you as my executive assistant? Is that not clear from the presentation? Can your brother not read? Oh, I can read. I just can’t believe you actually have the nerve to ask me to hire you for a job after the way you tormented my baby brother. Someone did not get the memo.

Your baby brother and I are buds now. We’ve put all that behind us, right? Jackson? Hmm. It’s a work in progress, huh? I have plenty of experience. I just left my position as executive director of candidate Affairs for the Governor Elect. I was instrumental in her victory. Think of the wonders I could do for you.

Yeah. I already have an assistant Leo, and even if I didn’t, I would still never hire you. But don’t you need someone to tell you what shirt to wear? I could be that guy. I have impeccable taste, obviously. And I would be available to you whenever at your beck and call 24 7. Yeah. And that way I could play my video games in peace.

It’s a win-win. So, what do you say, boss? Tempting. But it’s a hard no, it’s a regular, no. Now, if you would, excuse me, I have a date to get ready for.

Stop it. Just stop. This is not about you and I not being able to have a baby together.

Come out watching. About you going to Jada.

I broke a trust. I can’t be undone,

can’t go back. Jada’s baby is gone now and I have to find a way to live.

And I’m happy for Eric too, even though. The situation is complicated. Just like you said, you well, having babies makes complicated situations pretty uncomplicated. Hmm. I can’t finish. Oh boy. I’m telling you. Put a lot of work into that list and I can’t wait to see it. So lemme see what we got here. Number one.

Ooh, a dream house for Granny Marmar. Do you know? It’s okay for you just to call me Grandma. Mommy said you liked that name. Mommy’s confused. Let’s see what else we have here. Um, we have a pony, huh? Real? Not stuck. . Duly noted. Real pony. What? We have number three. We, Hmm. What is it? What I want most for Christmas is for.

My mommy and daddy to get married.

This is unbelievable. I wish

one turf cookie. You didn’t think you were gonna get rid of me, so easy. Did you ? Does Marlena know? Oh, well, you know, I haven’t spoken to Dr. Marlena Evans, but Oh, I’ll just, I’ll just call her. Call her. Yeah. What? I’m sure she’s super busy, so there is no need to bother with that. No, it’s not gonna be a bother.

She’s probably gonna come right home as soon as she hears about this. Well, Brady. No. No, Brady. Brady. It’s me.

What the what? What the hell is wrong with you?

I’m shocked and I can’t believe Paulina got charged. I’m shocked too. I figured there wasn’t enough evidence, especially since she wasn’t charged right away. Well, maybe Trashcan and Scotland Yard were just biting their. Building their case or maybe they were waiting for just the right moment to humiliate her.

I can’t even imagine she and Chanel are both going through right now. That’s so unfair. Chanel obviously mean to kill that poor woman. It was, it was an accident, and Holly knew was just trying to shield her young daughter from a scandal like any mother would. What do you wanna do? Well, first on the list, we scrap our statement and start all.

When mommy and daddy get married, I’m gonna be the flower girl at their wedding. Well, you know, sweetheart, uh, weddings aren’t a thing that Santa Claus can deliver. Why not? He’s giving you a grand baby. Oh, fuck. Can’t you listen pretty well? I, I think what Granny Marmar is trying to, I mean, grandma, I think what I think what.

He’s trying to say here is that when, when two people decide to get married, it’s up to them not, not not Santa Claus. Well, it’s gonna happen. How can you be so sure? Mommy told me. Mommy told you that she and your daddy are getting married. She said it was very possible. Well, the thing is that all kinds of things are possible.

I just don’t want you to get disappointed. You know, because not, not all mommies and daddies are married. I know, but my mommy and daddies will be, huh.

Damnit Chris, what are you, what do you do at pretending to be. I just wanted to see if I could still pull it off. And based on your reaction, I passed with flying colors. Yeah, way to go. I mean, you must be really proud of yourself. You dressed up as a dead woman. Is this just for kicks or No? No, of course not.

I just, I needed to practice before I visited dj, I’m sorry, you, I’m sorry. You’re gonna visit EJ as his recently deceased mother. Well, he and I are still on the outs since I sided with Gabby over him, and I thought since I can’t console him as his sister, perhaps I could as his mother,

Kris. Have you completely lost your mind? So Jada had an abortion and Eric blames you. That’s the gist. Why? Because you had one conversation with a woman. He believes that I talked her into it, and that was not my intention. At least I didn’t think it was. I dunno, maybe, maybe deep down is what I really wanted for Eric and Jada not to have the spawn for the rest of their lives.

Look, even if that were true, it’s not as if you drove Jada to the clinic and forced her to get the procedure at gunpoint. In the end, the decision was hers, but he still thinks I shouldn’t have stuck my nose. He has to know you’ve never been one to keep your opinions to yourself. Well, maybe I should have this time.

It’s ironic, you know, I thought things would be better between Eric and me if there were no baby and now there’s no baby and things are worse, much worse. And I don’t think there’s any coming back from it.

Dude, you’re looking at that. Drink the way I usually look at women. Yeah. It’s been a while. Ah, I’m sorry. No, I’m not an alcoholic. I just, I don’t drink anymore. Right. Well if you are just gonna stare at it, I’d be happy to take it off your hands. . All meats. Rosses. Hmm. Listen, I’m glad we got this little chance to talk.

The Bella Magazine cover was a monster hit. I already told Brady I can’t wait to get you and Nicole back on the cover again. So how fast can we get the two of you back in the studio? Cause I don’t think that’s a good idea. Are you kidding me? Bella hasn’t gotten buzz like this in years. Listen, I, I I don’t wanna see you repeat yourself.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I, I want to continue the. I mean the people are itching to see you and Nicole back together. Yet, Alex, you don’t. No. Listen, I know it’s not the right season, but I’m thinking for the next issue we go swim with, people are dying to break the winter blues. Are you comfortable on the speed off?

Well, it really doesn’t really matter what you mean. Wear as long as it’s you and Nicole back in that comfort again. That’s all that matters. People are calling you the perfect couple. You know you got people online calling you Eric Cole. It’s wild. Shut the hell up.

I can’t believe your brother turned me down, poured my heart and soul into that presentation. Yeah. Well, I mean, you gave it a good old call. It’s try. Maybe next time don’t include the photos of you in a bubble bath. I was just trying to show that I have, you know Yes. Well I could see your through the bubbles.

Damnit. I don’t know what I’m gonna do now. I’ve been pounding the pavement for days. It’s my only option is to take that job at Buddy’s Burger Barn. Hey, I mean a job’s job. This head was not meant to wear a paper hat. But you’re right, that might be my only option. Thanks for trying to cheer me up. I’ll see ya.

Leo, Wayne. God. Um, look, I’m, I’m pretty much recovered now, which means I will be going back to being CEO and when I do, I will need an a.

What are you saying, Jackson? Oh my gosh. You’re actually gonna make me say it. Um, okay. How do you feel about working for me at Titan?

Dude, What is your problem? You need to get in your head that I’m a photographer, not a model. Yeah, but there will be no more covers than Nicole me. Do you understand? I understand that you want the one that makes the decisions, and I hope you recognize that. I can just go over your head with this because Nicole and Brady are the ones in charge.

Nicole, be opposed to this just as much as I am. If not, how quick you’re gonna quit. Really? You would really do that. Yeah. If I’m forced. Why, what, what, what is going on? Let something happened in between you two. Did you guys hook up?

Nicole?

It seems to me that emotions are running high right now. I’m sure As soon as Eric calm down, he’ll realize that Jada’s decision is not your fault. You don’t underst. This is no longer just about the baby, which was bad enough. Then what’s it about? Lots of ugly things were said. Things that neither one of us can come back from.

Even if they were said in the heat of the moment. Sometimes you cross a line and there is no going back.

Well, I can relate to that.

I crossed the line and my mother’s dead.

Kristen. Kristen, look at me. Listen to me. Listen to me. You can knock over to E J’s dress as his deceased mother. Number one. He is gonna see right through it. Number two, that’s really cruel. I thought it would be just the. It would be an act of mercy. How do you figure that? Well, Tony said that EJ blames himself for Susan’s death.

I thought I would appear as this vision of his dearly departed mother to use his mind, assure him that her death wasn’t his fault. I didn’t know that. That was your your plan, huh? Can’t believe I’m saying this, but that actually might be helpful to him. I don’t. Surprisingly compassionate of you, given that he just fired you.

Well, he is my brother

even. So, given that you, uh, you used three human lives as bargaining ships to get me back into your life and you blackmailed me into breaking up with Chloe, and we all know that’s the tip of the iceberg of the criminal activity that you’ve been a part of. It’s still very surprising to me that you would be that selfless.

I mean, I admit that I haven’t behaved all that honorably lately, but I’m completely evil. I mean, maybe this is a chance for me to balance the scales. Hell, he’s still little, little.

May you watch Frosty now? Well, you certainly may. Sweet.

Grandma and I, we, we just, uh, want you to know that no matter what happens with your mommy and daddy, they love you very much no matter what, just like we do. You got that? Got it. , enjoyful, frosty honey.

Hi. I’m telling you, doc Kristen is just stooped to a new low, giving this little girl’s hopes all up about something’s never gonna happen. Are you sure about that? What do you mean? Are you sure it’s never going to happen? What are you talking about, doc? You can’t really think that’s on the table. We both know how she manipulates people and events.

I mean, she managed to get Brady to break up with Chloe. She managed to get him to invite her to live at the townhouse. What makes you think she won’t manipulate him into marriage? If that’s the case, then you and I gotta figure out a way to stop her. I agree. How do we do that?

I don’t believe it. You would hire me back. Hey, surely you’re not forgetting that you falsely accused me of sexual harassment along with a bunch of other terrible things that you have done. No, I have not forgotten, but I have. Forgive him because I have a heart As big as all the outdoors that you do, j.

Not to mention a truly adorable smile, not to mention a boatload of other winning and glasses. Let’s not get carried away. Okay? Okay. I will stop the gushing. It’s just that, uh, I’m very touched and very grateful that you would make this offer. But, um, what about the optics? Let’s, I have a PR team. They’ll handle the messaging and like I said before, I couldn’t care less what people think.

Not even your. Not even your Uncle Vic who thinks I am the scum of the earth and hates me with a vengeance. Okay, well when you put it like that, uh, yeah. That old curmudgeon would kill you. Yeah, no. Or he’d fire me, which means we would both be out of Aja. True. Well, thanks for the offer, . It means more than you know, that you would consider me like that, that you would want to help me in that way.

You know, maybe I still can. How? Take your laptop back out. We’ll comb for the Wanted ads. Maybe you missed something. Come on. Fine. Let’s comb. Okay. I am almost done with the intro. Uh, . Cool. I think I’m gonna flip these last two paragraphs. Yeah. Yeah, that’s a great idea.

Aren’t you supposed to be going to dinner with Alex? Uh, yeah, but I, I still have some time. Things must be going well for you too. Yeah, he um, he even surprised me with a romantic Thanksgiving dinner. It was, it was very sweet.

I guess he’s, uh, not all that bad after all. No, he’s not. He, he actually turned out to be a really great guy. Good. I’m happy for you.

I’m right, aren’t I? Something happened between you and the gun of your business. It’s not my business. You two are both my shining stars. Yeah. Well, not anymore. I told you there’s not gonna be any more covers. Yeah, but understand that just, I mean, really do yourself a favor and let it go. Okay. Fine. You got it.

But just so you know, for a former priest, you got some rage issues.

I’m gonna go wait for my date over there.

I, I was so bloody certain that I could get my mother back without having to pay the ransom. I mean, how hard could it be to outsmart Ava Vitali? Right. The problem with playing games with Ava is that she’s out of her mind. Mm-hmm. , I know firsthand it’s impossible to anticipate what Ava would do next. Let me.

You are going to tell me that this isn’t my fault, just like everyone else. Oh, no, no, no, no. But maybe it’s your fault. Just like maybe it’s my fault that Jada got rid of Eric’s baby.

Oh, makes sense. Right. Since both you and I had a history of being our own worst enemies, a tendency. Self destruct, yet we still haven’t managed to learn our lesson.

How the hell did we get so screwed up that my friend? It’s the million dollar question. Oh, yes.

Well, I guess it’s time to take the shell on the road. Kristen. No, no. You listen. You can’t what I thought you understood. Look, it seems that you, it seems your heart is in the right place for a change. Okay? But it’s not a good idea. Like I said before, EJ will probably figure it out. He’ll know it’s you.

It’ll scar him. He’ll probably hate you forever. I think it’s a terrible. Terrible idea to ease his suffering, to do something kind for Susan and him, I mean, Brady, to think of, wow, how I treated that, that woman all these years, I mean, praying on her innocence, her big, generous heart.

And now that she’s gone, I. I am never gonna get a chance to say I’m sorry, and to thank her for all that she’s done for me.

You know what? I’m really gonna miss her.

Okay.

So what’s going on here?

As the investigation moves forward, we encourage everyone to keep an open. Yeah, but still not stretching the right time. Not quite. Okay. Try cutting that line

and that one too

better. It’s getting there. Definitely still needs work. What about your date with Alex?

Hey, Steph. You on your way? I’m really sorry. Hey, we’re crisis suddenly came up. I’m stuck here at the office. Oh, bummer. Can I get a rain check? Of course. Thanks for understanding. I’ll text you later. All right, sounds good. Good luck.

I need to get the hell outta here.

Shall we get another round wellow in our own misery a little bit longer? Ooh. Uh, as much as I would love to, um, I should get going. I need a, a place to stay tonight. What do you mean? Well, since I told Rafe that I was moving on with another man, seemed kind of awkward to be living in the same house, so I’ve been staying in my office.

What about Holly? She’s staying with Maggie until I find a suitable place for us, which I thought would be with Eric. Do you know how that story turned out? Well, you person stay with Maggie too.

in the house with Victor. I think not. Someone would either end up electrocuted or pushed out a second story window, . And since my couch in my office is killing my back, I’m probably just gonna check into the Salem.

You could come home with me.

Uh, Kristen and I were just reminiscing about Susan. . I see. How was dinner with your grandparents at ice cream for dessert? Ooh, in the winter. Wasn’t, wasn’t too cold. Nope. Well, then we’re gonna have to spend a little more time brushing your teeth tonight, right? All right. It’s time for bed. Come on, we gotta go camp John.

Hmm? Can you tell me a bedtime story? You do the best voices. That’s a f. Goodnight, grandma. Goodnight. And I’ll see you and you tuck me in, mommy. Ah, you sure will. My little angel. Okay, let’s go.

I know that, look, you are about to bore me with one of your tedious lectures, aren’t you? No. No lecture. But I do think it’s time that you and I had a talk. And here we go.

Christmas elf. I do look good in tights. Mm-hmm. , but I hate Children. Pass. Okay. Um, . Okay. What about the, uh, the manager of domestic sales at Basic Black? I think that was closed old job. Those bitches turn me down once. I am not crawling back to them. Hard pass. All right. Oh, what about this book Illustrator?

Mm, I don’t know. Kind of seems at a left field. Why? How It’s perfect. You love art Plus, I mean, you’re really good at it. Tho those photos of those paintings you showed me on your phone, they were like, Impressive as hell. Do you remember those? Yeah, of course I do. You’re really talented, Leon, huh? Okay, well in that case, put that one down as a maybe.

Here we go. Maybe M A Y N. I know how to spell me.

We can’t send this out. It’s still not right. And maybe we should just sleep on it. There’s no time. By morning everyone will know about the arrest if we don’t stay ahead of the narrative. Now we’re gonna be behind the curve. I think we need to start over. Oh, okay. No, I can do this. It’s fine by yourself?

Yes. Yes. You should go home. It’s almost time to put the kids to sleep anyway. I got it.

No, no, no. Jack can handle the kids. This is too important. Okay. I really don’t mind. I do. And you do this by yourself. You’re gonna beat her all night. Two of us get done half the time. Are you sure? I. I am not a band ship. You gave up your day with Alex. We’re in this together. Thank you, God.

You keep brushing. Okay? And I’ll look for monsters under your bed.

Hey. I think you’re looking for monsters in the wrong place. All right, dad, look, if this has anything to do with what you saw, come on kid. What? Don’t you just talk to me. What the hell is going on with you and Kristen? There’s nothing going on. Okay. She was upset about Susan. I was just consoling her a little bit.

It’s no big deal. Yeah, and you’re so sure about that, aren’t you, dad? I was just trying to put my anger aside for a moment, you know, just for the sake of peace, just for Rachel’s sake, I’m not gonna fall for her again. So wait, hell, that’s gonna happen. I promise you that.

I understand that you are filling Rachel’s head with ideas of you and Brady getting married. Oh, and what’s wrong with that? What’s wrong with that? Well, it’s manipulative to start. And you’re also setting your daughter up for a lot of disappointment. Well, she won’t be disappointed if Brady and I actually do get married.

Like I know that you’re used to your schemes blowing up in your own face, but now you’re involving somebody else who’s going to get hurt. So please stop. I’ll take that under. Hey Doc, my Priscilla, the pig voice isn’t up to snuff apparently. Would you mind joining us, please? Duty calls Grandma . Well, I guess we’ll have to finish this little chat some other time.

Yeah, your doppelganger was wrong. Sometimes my schemes actually do work. Like tonight, for instance, I wasn’t actually going to visit EJ dressed like Susan. I just, I just needed to get Brady to see me in a different light. And guess what? It works like a charm. Go home with you. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Absolutely not.

Look, I might have had a few, but I am not drunk. I Alright, calm down. I, I wasn’t suggesting anything lascivious. I was merely offering you one of our many guest bedrooms.

Oh, okay. Are you sure? Hmm. What better use for them then to rest the weary head of a fellow? The damaged. And I wouldn’t be any trouble. No trouble at all. Truth be told, I could use the company. Okay. What the hell, right?

you appears to be a lot more blo than you first, or Hold on one second. One second. Let me help you get any help.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I miss you so much. Well, at least we got to have Thanksgiving together, right? Wasn’t enough. I started missing you as soon as it was over. Me too. Are you. Did I pick a bad time to come? No, I, there’s never a bad time to see you. And what is it? It’s just that. On Thanksgiving, when I went back to my cell for the first time, I felt like I’m never gonna get outta here.

I told you all interview requests. Go to my assistant first. Yes, I know I don’t have an assistant anymore. Figure it out. Oh, Abraham. Oh, it’s so good to see a friendly face. . Well, the press is hounding you, huh? Oh, I try to talk policy, but all those vultures want to ask me about is you now. Oh, I’m so sorry, sweetheart.

Oh, that’s okay. That’s okay. My poor babies all as I think about anyway, but I have had an epiphany. Oh, really? About. , the one Sure Fire way to help Chanel out of this situation. Oh, well that’s great. That’s great. Can I help? I mean, I’ll, I’ll do whatever you need. Oh, well I’m glad to hear that because you are the only one who can do it.

Do what? . It’s simple Fire Melinda Trask.

Okay. What the, you looking for an assault charge counselor? No, actually, I’m looking for you. You’ve been ignoring my calls and you’re holding my client without an arraignment or a bail hearing. It’s outrageous and unethical and you’re not gonna get away with it. Tommy Moore.

Eric, I told you I don’t wanna talk Jada. It’s not Eric.

Okay. Hey, now look, I know it’s really early to be talking about morning sickness, but I want you to be prepared. I used this tea during all of my pregnancies and it was a godsend, and I hope it works the same for you. That’s, that’s very kind of you. But, um, I’m not planning on having any morning sickness.

Okay, look, I know you’re really tough, and I know your wrist is toxic, but you’re not going to be able to will this away. All right? Well, you’re gonna find out soon enough, so no, you, you don’t understand. Uh, I’m not going to have morning sickness because I’m not going to have a baby. I ended my pregnancy.

What did you say to Jada? To Jada? Just tell me the truth. Did you encourage her to have an abortion? I can’t believe you’re asking me. I asked her the question, yes or no. Did you push her to terminate that pregnancy? Is that what that bitch told you?

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

Stop it. Stop trying to make Jayden the bad guy. Well, if she’s accusing me, she’s not accusing you. I’m asking you a question. Whoa. Whatever it is. She’s obviously lied about our conversation. She said you asked her why she would wanna have a baby that would tie her to me forever. What was an honest question?

Wait a minute. Is she suggesting that I told her to get an abortion and you believed it? Oh, no, no, no, no. I’m gonna settle this. I’m gonna clear things up with her. That’s, no, there’s no point. Of course, there’s a point. I’m not gonna let her walk around and tell lies about me, making me sound like some kind of maniac, telling her that I, I want her to get an abortion.

I mean, there’s no point in you going over there to tell her what you meant. It’s too late, too late. She had an abortion. Nicole

Baby’s gone.

You ended your pregnancy. Eric and I were planning to have the baby, but I changed my mind. And if you don’t understand, then no. I, I, I understand if, if that’s what you wanted to do, I, it’s so judgment Jada. I am just surprised because when we first talked to you, were conflicted with this Thanksgiving. You seem set.

What happened?

I mean, the longer I thought about it, even though I was gonna be sharing a baby with Eric, still I’d be alone half the time. I’d be raising that child as a single mother and have full-time job. It was just, it would just be too difficult for me. And also being tied to Eric.

She’s joking, right? You, you actually expect me to fire Melinda Trask, so she can’t carry through on prosecuting Chanel. I am dead serious, Abraham. Sloan Peterson is harnessing that woman’s hatred from me, uh, to railroad my daughter. I, I understand. So then you can see why this is the only answer. Maybe I can’t do anything about Sloan, but a pink slip from you would end the threat from that heartless DA for good.

So can you make that? No, no. Pauline, I’m sorry. I can’t fire Melinda Trask. Oh, such dramatics Ms. Brady. A bit over the top. If you asked me, you might wanna tone it down once we’re in the courtroom. What courtroom You’ve been holding Chanel and limbo since the minute you had. She’s in prison awaiting trial.

The courts are just a little backed up right now. Last time I checked this was America. She has a right to a fair and speedy trial and, and this entire alleged crime didn’t even happen in this country. Well, I’ve been working very closely with Scotland Yard on this prosecution. Since the perpetrator is using my jurisdiction to evade responsibility, not to mention any of the subsequent laws that may have been broken in Salem to keep this cover up going.

We both know why you’re holding her without bail, and so you can feast on all this publicity, right? It’s not every day you get to prosecute the governor’s daughter. A woman is dead, Ms. Brady and the Governor elect might be involved. And so what? Now you track me down to. Whine about it. Your client deserves better.

You know what? Actually she doesn’t. Now, if you excuse me, I am late for lunch.

Did I go overboard with the food? I just felt like I needed to do something. You’re here. That’s enough. Doesn’t feel like. But at least I can look you in the eyes and tell you that you are not going to be here forever. You don’t know that. Well, I do know that you have so many people who love you, and we are going to do everything we possibly can to get you out of this.

Hey, no, my time can’t be up. I have 30 minutes. Uh, Chanel has another visitor.

What is she doing here?

You must be the girlfriend. I’m Sloan Peterson. Yeah, I know who you are because she even allowed to be back here. It’s up to Chanel. You say the word no, escort Ms. Peterson right back out. Up to you. So Chanel please tell her to go. You do not owe her anything. No, it’s fine. Let’s hear what she has to say.

You sure you’re gonna say?

I guess I should say thank you. But I’m not really feeling that grateful. It’s things that you slept with my father and murdered my mother. We’ve never formally been introduced Chanel Dupre. I’m your worst nightmare.

Chanel didn’t murder anybody. What happened to your mother was an accident. Well, I am so glad you think so, but just because you’re sleeping with the defendant doesn’t make her innocent. Okay. Listen, there was nothing accidental about the way my mother met her in. I know the full story. Chanel was tricked by your mother to go up to that roof, and then things got tense and she fell.

So why don’t you just leave Chanel. Such passion. I can see why you like her, but you and I know the real truth about what happened, don’t we? Chanel, why are you here? Because I needed to see if you would lie to my face the same way you’ve lied to everybody else about what happened that night.

I’m sorry for your loss. I really am, and I would give anything to change what happened that day, but it’s way more complicated than you think. Complicated, huh? I read the initial police report. You know, you told the campus authorities that it was your fault that night, and then after you had. Sleep on it and think about it.

All of a sudden it was an accident. That’s not how it happened. My words were misinterpreted. Oh, sure. They were. Maybe by now you’ve even convinced yourself that it was an accident. Remember, your mother convinced you. I mean, she sure did work hard to cover it up.

It must be nice to have a mother that works that hard to fight for you. My mother would have until you took her away.

The district attorney serves at your pleasure, right? You do the hiring and firing well technically. I can

theoretically, who would I put in her place? Bell seems like a smart cookie sale. I’m would be lucky to have such a qualified da. So you want me to rig her case by hiring her, her own lawyer to prosecute her? No. Well it sounds bad when you put it that way. It is bad. Okay. Okay, fine. Well just find someone else.

Appoint the cast of law ought to Salem for all I care. Just get rid of Melinda Trash. Sorry, as before she. Anymore to hurt my baby.

Move out of my way. Please. No, your lunch is gonna have to wait. I don’t know what you expect to happen here. I have said everything I have to say. Oh my God, Melinda, is this really the hill you wanna die on? You wanna punish some young woman for an accident that happened years ago in another country? Yeah.

Well, the British government may still wanna file extradition papers for Ms. Dupree. In the meantime, they’ve asked us to ensure that she doesn’t disappear, and yet you’re not willing to make that argument in front of a judge in open court. You think I’m purposely slowing down the wheels of justice? You filed to put a stay on a bail hearing and then made sure the busiest judge on the circuit got it late on a Friday afternoon.

Judge Ellis made a fair ruling. He rubber stamped your request just like you knew he would. Okay, looks like you figured me out. Okay. Too bad there’s not much you can do about it. Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. Mm-hmm. . Oh wait.

Are you. I’m fine. Well, it’s okay not to be.

I’m not gonna cry over Eric or my decision. I’m convinced it was what I, I needed to do.

Did Eric try to stop you from terminating the pregnancy? I didn’t give him a chance. I just told him a little while ago after it already happened.

So how does he react?

Shea had an abortion. That’s right. She did.

And you think it’s my fault You confronted her, didn’t you? No, I didn’t confront her. I just talked to her. That’s all. And I certainly didn’t talk to her about doing this. I, she didn’t even mention she was considering it. Maybe that’s because she wasn’t until after she spoke to you. Wasn’t even part of the conversation.

We didn’t even discuss it as a possibility. Eric, did you try talking her out of it? No, because by the time she told me she had already gone through with it. She didn’t consult you? No. You were the last person who spoke to her before she made a decision. Eric, I swear I did not put that. Why did you even speak?

Why

this pregnancy is loving your damn business?

A wri of habeas corpus, huh? Mm-hmm. manning you to appear in court and justify your reasons for holding Chanel in Definit. I know what it says. Good. Then you’ll also know that you’ll have to appear in front of an impartial judge. My client has constitutional rights, and you are duty bound to explain why you’ve decided to take them all away.

You think they’re so damn smart, don’t you? I think I’m doing what’s right for my client. Ms. Dupree is getting bail today. Madam da. Can I give you a ride to the courthouse?

Sloan, I would give anything for your mother to still be alive. True. You would to get yourself off the hook because she didn’t deserve what happened to her. Which part? Because your assault on my mother didn’t start on that roof. It started the first day that you hooked up with my father. Did. You didn’t care that he was married when you started sleeping with him?

I did, but he didn’t seem. And I, I tried to put it outta my head and I was really young and it just happened. Nothing just happens. You made it happen. No. Hell she did. Your father was the adult in the situation. You stay out of this. It, it wasn’t something that I was looking for. He pursued me. So you were the innocent girl and he was the predator is.

Did your mama give you that talking point? Or maybe it was your lawyer? Let’s not pretend like you were a child. You were of age. I was in college. You were an adult living in a foreign country all by yourself. Okay. I’m, I’m not saying that I’m proud of the affair, but he was the married one. Well then if you knew it was wrong, why did you keep doing it?

Because,

I dunno. Don’t know why you kept going back to that rooftop to meet him time after time after time. Like you didn’t know he had a wife. Like you didn’t know he had a family. Don’t play innocent like you didn’t want it. Like you didn’t set out to take everything from her. Stop it. Just stop it. Leave her.

Are you really asking me how this is any of my business? Yes. I’m asking you We’re together, Eric. Oh my God. And this isn’t some minor issue. Can you imagine how I felt when I showed up at the pub on Thanksgiving and heard you declare that you were planning on raising Jada’s baby together? And I told you that you told me.

I was the last to know when I told you that I didn’t know that you already knew because you were spying on us on Thanksgiving day. I wasn’t spying. I came there to see you and what I found was you and Jada celebrating that she decided to have your baby. And you know what? It didn’t, this didn’t look like a couple that had broken up.

It looked like it looked like.

It looked like a couple getting back together. Okay? So I wanted to find out what was going on. So you didn’t think about coming to meet with that question. Do you really wanna do this? Do what? You happened to run into me that night at the square. That’s when you told me Jada was going to keep her baby.

You know why? I can’t help but. So I wasn’t there. When were you planning on telling me?

Eric was surprised when I told him he had wished that he was a part of the decision and he wasn’t, because I, I was afraid that he was gonna talk me out of it. I mean, he insists that he wouldn’t, but it’s just a lot cleaner this way. Well, I’m, I’m very sorry you had to go through it alone. I’m used to being on my own.

Did you talk to, to anyone else before you made the choice? Actually, I did have one conversation about it. He’s a friend. The last person I call a friend, the decision to have the baby was between Jada and me and everyone at the Thanksgiving table. Just not me. You got sick, cold. It all happened just in the moment.

All I know is what I saw, and I thought I might be losing you. So I wanted to find out what Jada’s intentions were. So I asked her if she was ready for this baby to be linked to you and to her forever. Even though you were with me, and that’s all you said, that’s all you asked of her? No, no. I talked to her about what it was like being a single mother.

I made it all out to be a terrible fate. Didn’t sugar coat it? I told her it was hard because it is, but he didn’t do it to scare her off. Yeah. Well, according to Jada, she said she gave her a friendly reminder that you weren’t going.

Oh, that’s true, isn’t it? I was just being honest. Come in, Nicole. You’re not being honest. Now I’m saying that you said all this in innocence to a woman whose obviously conflicted about going through with her pregnancy. I didn’t know she was conflicted and ha, I’m not pretending anything, Eric. Hell, you’re not.

Obviously, you know, your words can sway Jada’s decision about getting an abortion or getting rid of the child in which she. You got exactly what you want. Didn’t you

please tell me that Nicole didn’t pressure you into getting an abortion? No. No, she didn’t. But she did paint a pretty harsh picture of what single motherhood would look like, which made you rethink having your. Huh, whatever her motives were, uh, it really helped me to reevaluate the pros and cons. You know, I have, I have friends that say that having a child is the best thing that ever happened to them.

And one day I would love to be a mother. I really would just not like this. You know, not now you actually. I went over to scare your ex-girlfriend into ending her pregnancy. What else am I supposed to think? Oh, you were the last one who talked to her before she made a decision. Actions have consequences, Nicole, but you never learn, do you?

What does that mean? It means over and over you act impulsively without thinking.

Are you talking about me jumping into bed with Xander? Oh my God. How would you even be bringing him up? Well, because this whole speech about my impulse, is it just sitting in the holster? No, I think the reason you assume I pushed Jada into her choice. It’s because deep down you. Don’t trust me.

I am never gonna be good enough for you. Emma. Stop with a self pity. Would you self pity? It’s not, I’m not feeling sorry for myself. If anything, I’m feeling guilty. You know what? Yes. I was feeling threatened by Jada’s pregnancy and yes, you know what? I was hoping that she wouldn’t keep the baby there. I said it.

I would do anything for you for Chanel, then fire the witch. You put my daughter behind bars. I would do it if I thought it would make things better for her. Would you hurt her? Abraham? She would send Chanel to prison for life if we let her. I can’t let that happen. And we won’t. We won’t. I promise you, but, but if I did this, the press.

All over it. They’d be all over you and the city council would impeach me. Oh, let them try. All Ians have been sent to prison for less. Now if we, if we try to help with Chanel in this way, that we’d be, we’d be in the cell right next to her.

Hold on to this one. Chanel, she’s passionate, loyal, a lot younger than my dad. You leave her out of this. I’m paying her a compliment. If only you’d have figured out you liked girls a little bit sooner, maybe my mother would still be here. What do you want me to say, Sloan? I’ve already said I shouldn’t have had the affair, but that doesn’t change the fact that your dad had all the power in our relationship.

And Y all your anger and all your bitterness isn’t going to change that. Do I sound bitter? I’m sorry. That kind of comes with the territory when you find out that your mother’s suicide was a murder that’s. Look, I’m sorry that you had to find out the way that you did. You are sorry. Once you moved on with your life, did you ever stop to take a minute to think about how my brother and I were doing, how we were handling our mother’s death?

Enough? Will you just leave her alone? No, I won’t. Not until I get an answer. I want to know. Chanel, did you ever stop and think for a second what it felt like to us to watch our father slowly drink himself to death?

I didn’t think so, and it was all because he was holding in that terrible secret that he didn’t reveal to us that he was on his deathbed. His death bed.

I’m sorry. Yeah, I heard you the first time. For someone who says, a have no power, be sure to have enough to destroy my life.

Okay. Okay. We can’t fire Melinda Trask, but we can’t just let them roll over my baby. You trust me more than anything in the world. And you believe me when I say that I will fight for Chanel every step of the way. I will not stop fighting for your daughter and neither will Bill. She’s the smartest, most tenacious lawyer I know.

And if anyone can outfox. Linda Trask, it’s Bell.

Oh, I’m glad I found you. Oh, what’s going on? I need to talk to Chanel. Can you bring her up? Uh, she’s already in the interrogation room. She has visitors. Yeah. Yeah. Ellie came to see her and, and Sloan. Peterson. Wait, Sloan’s in there. You left them alone in there. Like Chanel agreed to speak to her. My hands are tied here.

Why is there something going on? Yeah, he could say that. All right. You have said everything you need to say. So now it’s my turn. Well, you have no say in this. Yes, I do. Important. I see you talk about your pain, and I can see that it hurts. But Chanel has a life and she has a future. And yes, she made mistakes, but she has worked to become a better person.

And honestly, is this even about your mother anymore? What is that supposed to mean? I said you can’t figure it out. When you first got to Salem, did you confront Chanel? Did you ask for an apology? He tried to get a big payday. You don’t know me. You don’t know what I’ve been through, and I am owed restitution along with revenge.

God, please tell me her time is up. All she did was come in here and her rationale and try and make her feel more punished than she already is. Chanel, you’re going home What you made bail.

Finally some honesty. Yes, I am being honest and I am sorry that I went to Jada without you knowing, but I’m not sorry for wishing that we could avoid a, a huge complication in our lives now that we’re back together. He said, you saw me Thanksgiving dinner and my dad hosted.

Yeah, and you must have seen me when I was happy, and part of that was because I got back together with the love of my life, and part of that was because I was going to be a father. You know how much that means to me? Of course I do. I hope it would mean something to you as.

We were both so surprised when we learned feta was pregnant. Yeah, so a so just decided to get back together and it’s something that you were planning or hoping for.

We can’t always plan the things that are gonna happen in our. But it doesn’t mean that I didn’t want it

and you, I couldn’t give you the baby that you always wanted. Is that what you were gonna say?

You know, someday. Someday I’ll have a child. God willing. It’s too bad that Eric won’t be the father. He would’ve been great. Even though I’m mad as hell at him. He’s still one hell of a guy. Yes. Yes he is.

I’m sorry that you got hurt. What’s next? Focus on my job. Mm-hmm. , no. Figure out what I want in life and, and work on making that happen. Yeah. Well, I have a feeling you’re going to do just fine. Well, I’m used to taking care of myself. Yeah. I can relate. But it’s nice to have someone in your life too. Yeah, it was nice while it lasted.

I wasn’t gonna say that. Are you sure?

Are you sure you were gonna say how grateful you were? That Jada could give you a child of your own when I’m not capable. Could you believe, I was gonna say something so hurtful cause a few minutes ago you were willing to think that I talked Jada into ending her pregnancy and it You didn’t seem to care that you hurt me then.

I didn’t think that. Yeah. Well, you know, you. Her getting an abortion had a lot to do with my conversation with her. Here. I, I know how much you wanna be a father,

but you chose someone who can’t make that happen happened. I told you how satisfied I was with El Ree Holly. Yeah. Maybe. But once you found out Jada’s news, you got so swept up, so swept up that you forgot I even existed. That’s true. You are a part of this dream, Nicole. Really? Really? I mean, did you call me over to let me in on the plan?

Did you even mention me in your big announcement? No, you didn’t. You didn’t think of me at all. So, how the hell could I be part of your dream,

mama? Oh. Oh my baby. Oh, I made bail. Oh yes, we heard. We heard. Oh, thank the Lord be called and told us to come right over. You see? You see, I knew you could do it. Well, it was a bit of a Hail Mary, but it worked. . I was so happy for you to preach. Well, thank you, bill. Thank you. How did you do it? Oh, well, I had to force trash to appear in front of a judge and prove that there was no case to hold you without bail.

Oh, well, nicely done. You tried the right lawyer. , thank you so much. Bail. Well, we still have a long way to go, but it was a good first step. So what do we do now? Well, as soon as you pay the bail, Chanel’s free. Oh, well just tell me where to take the check. My little girl needs to come home. not so fast.

You stay away from my daughter. We have had enough of your. The judge has ruled nalin that she has, but this isn’t about Chanel. What are you talking about? Here you go, detective, do your duty, please. What? What is this? Wait. Chanel can still the home though, right? Chanel has seen granted bail, but her murder charge is not the only crime that’s stemming from this unfortunate incident.

What other crimes? How about the coverup that follow? Mastermind by na, our shiny new governor elect. Detective,

I’m sorry to do this, but uh, calling a price. You’re under arrest for criminal conspiracy and obstruction of justice. No. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of. So you have the right to an attorney. You cannot afford an attorney. I will be appointed for you

Jada. Look, I know that you pride yourself on being independent and not needing anyone, but um, I really hope that we can remain friends cuz I really. . I feel the same way about you, Kate. Great. That’s important because with my history, I really need a friend in the Salem pd. Believe me, . You know what? Yeah, I’ve, I’ve heard some stories about you.

Yeah. Well, don’t believe them. I mean, they are true, but don’t believe them . So is there anything else I can get you cuz I can do better than tea ? No, I, I think right now I think I just need some rest. Okay. But you’ll, you’ll call me right? Yeah, I just, right now I just, just feeling tired. Yeah. I think it’s probably, it’s all catching up with

Kate,

even though I know I, I did what was right for me. It still doesn’t make it any easier. Sweet. Oh, honey. I know. I know. Oh, you need to get it out. You really need to get it out.

That’s right. I’m sorry. I never meant to make you feel like it didn’t matter, but you can’t help. It can. Shea decided to end her pregnancy without telling you, and you can’t be mad at her, so you have to take it out on me because I’m an easy target. And after Xander and, and all the other mistakes I made, this is just a one more way to disappoint you.

Stop just,

this is not about you and I not being able to have a baby together.

About what you did, about you going to Jada,

you broke a trust. I can’t be undone,

can’t go back.

Jada’s baby is gone now and I have to find a way to live with that.

Live without being a father or live with my role in it.

You can.

You can’t just say something like that and walk away.

Why now?

Where do we go from here?

I don’t know. No.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What I did to Uncle s Stephan, I have no idea what Wendy and I went to Jakarta. We found Dr. Rolf. What is Ralph doing in Jakarta? You know exactly what he’s doing there. He’s in a secret der funded lad that you shipped him off to, and he told us all about what you and Lee Adam do.

There’s no sense in life Before he tried to wipe our memories. Ralph told Johnny and me how you had him brainwash Stephan. That’s ridiculous. Which part? Okay. Let’s forget for the moment that what you’re talking about is impossible. Why would I do something like that? Because Ralph made Stephan forget all about his love for Gabby, so Gabby could love you instead.

Why are you looking at me like that? Sorry. I guess I am staring. I just

can’t get over how beautiful you are and how lucky I am that you’re in my life. Thank you. That’s, that’s really sweet. And I’m really lucky too that you’re in my life.

Sorry to interrupt then, don’t. Chloe and I are trying to enjoy a nice breakfast. Oh, this is only gonna take a minute. I need to know if you’re planning on coming to my wedding.

I know you’re feeling a little insecure right now about Eric. Is that so strange? He’s gonna have a baby with another woman, Brady, which was not intended. Look, I know it’s not the easiest situation. Okay? But the bottom line is you two belong to.

What? Oh, have you suddenly changed your mind about that as well? No, no, no. Of course not. It, I, I believe that actually I, I know that Eric has always wanted a child of his own. Now someone else is gonna make his dream come true.

What do you mean? There’s no baby? I mean that I’m not pregnant anymore.

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

helm. Rolf is a liar and a sociopath, yet you trust his word over your own. What possible reason would he have to implicate himself if it wasn’t true? Perhaps the good doctor presents the prominent role I now play in the DER family business. Or perhaps that prominent role, but you in a position to harness his twisted.

Admitted that you were the one who told him to brainwash stuff and Johnny taped the confession. And where’s that recording now? Ralph arrested and then he tried to do the same thing with our memories. Why would he do that if he was lying? What did that maniac do to you? What now you’re. Did he hurt you?

Jwe hurt me. That freak had a strap down to a table about to inject us with some experimental drug, like a couple of lab rats. Did you know he was going to do that?

So Rolf tried to reboot your memory. Yeah, mine and Wendy’s. Right after he confessed that you and Lee had a mess with your brother’s brain to make him forget all about his feelings for Gabby. I didn’t have anything to do with that. For God’s sake, Johnny, why on earth would I give a damn about that? You didn’t care about one thing.

Control. And you knew that if you could turn Stephan against Gabby, he’d vote for you and you could take the company back.

Yes, Gabby, we will be attending your wedding. I distinctly remember saying we wouldn’t dream of missing it. Right. Well, you didn’t RSVP and New Year’s Eve is just around the corner, so I need to get a precise headcount. Oh, okay. Well, we don’t exactly have the RSVP card on us. Well, I have another one right here.

I told you, Hey, I spoke to Eric. He is committed to being a father, but he’s also very much committed to you. Come on, Brady. Come on, come on. What? I heard Eric talk about the baby on Thanksgiving and, and he was, yeah. He was practically glowing about being a father. Well, yeah, he’d okay. He’s excited about being a father.

Why wouldn’t he be? I mean, it’s finally going to happen for him. He, Nick, it’s not an ideal situation and I understand you’re having some, you know, big feelings here. Big feelings. That’s all you could come up with. Look, what I’m trying to say is, you got this, you got this. You have been through too much with one another.

Think about how the challenges you, he was on the other end of the world for how many years. You still found your way back to one another, didn’t you? You can work it out and know that you can.

God, you, you had a miscarriage. I’m Jah. I’m so sorry. I I wish you would’ve called me. I didn’t have a miscarriage. I, I made the decision to terminate my pregnancy. I.

What? What are you saying?

I had an abortion.

Do you trust Eric? Of course I do. Okay, good. Then trust in what you have. Because historically, Nicole, uh, when you don’t do that, that’s when you get into trouble.

What are you saying, Brady? I’m saying don’t do anything that you will regret. Nicole, I hear you. Okay, but this isn’t just about giving Jada and Eric Space or whatever. I mean, she was really into him. What if she uses this baby to try and rekindle their relationship? Mm-hmm. Uh, she doesn’t seem like that kind of a person at all.

The kind of person who wants to be with the father of her child, Nicole. Just because you share a child with someone doesn’t mean you belong with them. Okay. Look, you have Holly. Eric is not the biological father. Right. But Daniel isn’t here to complicate things between Eric and me. Jada is

Jada. I don’t understand. You told me you wanted to have the baby. I changed my mind without telling me it’s my body, my choice. You said so yourself? Yes. Yes, I did. But I mean, I thought we had a plan. I told you how excited I was to be a father to our child. I thought you were excited about that too. Why wouldn’t you just at least talk to me about it?

I know how much you wanted to have this baby, which is why I was afraid. I was afraid that if I told you about my decision, that you would try to talk me out of it.

Uh, Stephen, wait. Wait for what? Well, I know that, um, Stephan said that. You know, he wouldn’t dream of not going to your wedding, but we haven’t had a chance to talk about it yet. What’s there to talk about? Unless you guys aren’t in sync about this. Is that what it is? He wants to go, but you don’t. No, I didn’t say that.

No. Well, what are you saying? Because I need to know the verdict. I, I need to know. Okay, Gabby, the verdict is we will attend your wedding. Chloe is feeling a bit ambivalent at the moment, but. I will talk her into it because I know that we won’t have a wonderful time. So that’s a yes. Oh yeah. You know me, Gabby.

I love a good train wreck. I can’t wait to watch Lee Shin make the biggest mistake of his life. You actually think I instructed Dr. Rolf to strap you to a table and wipe your memory? I don’t know what to believe. The thought makes me. Doesn’t, because apparently this is the kind of thing he does considering he already made Steph and forget about his love for Gabby.

Well, this is the first I’m hearing of all this, and I promise you if I ever see Dr. Rolf again, I’ll deal with him. Actually, let me make some calls. Lee,

do you remember when. And we took father’s Bentley out for a toy ride. What about it? When father saw the scratch on the door the next day, he suspected what you had done. But when he confronted you about it, you looked him right in the eye and denied it. Didn’t it even blink? No. No. Of course, when I got you alone, I forced you to confess.

I. It seems to remember you kept poking me with a sharp stick. No, I wasn’t going to give up until you told me why you took the car , and then finally you admitted it was to impress some girl. Your point, even then you were romantic. You do anything to get the girl?

Maybe things haven’t changed.

I always tell when you were lying to me back then. Do I need to bring out the sharp stick?

You’re right. I was the one who asked Ralph to brainwash that in the mirror. Rolf told you I was party to this, that I ordered him to brainwash. He told me it was Lee, but I know that it was both of you. And how would you know that? Because Wendy overheard her brother talking to Aunt Kristen . Oh, now Vaz a reliable sauce.

Look, dad. I know you okay. You’re just like, no, no, you don’t leave anything up to chance. And when I just told you about Rolf, it’s pretty obvious you weren’t surprised about the news. So just come on after everything we’ve been through the last couple days. Can you just drop the act? Just be real for a second.

Okay. Yes. I’ve known for some time that Ralph conditioned your uncle to erase his connection to Gabby. I didn’t make that happen, but I did take full advantage of it. I used it to solidify Stefan’s connection to me and the family, and you should be glad I did it.

Now to be clear, I had nothing to do with Wolf’s brainwashing scheme. That was all Lee and Kristen. So you’re telling me you only learned about this after the fact? That’s right. And by then, and it was already a Fatto Ri Lee had his own personal reasons. I’m sure your new friend Wendy. Could cast more light on his motivations than I can.

Why would aren’t Kristin even want to do this? I’m sure that’s not that hard to figure out. What does she care about most in this world?

Brady. Brady, right. She was very interested in using Stephan to get Chloe Lane out of his life. Rolf swore to me that neither you nor Johnny would be hurt, so you admit that he was working for you. I discovered by accident that Rolf had saved Stephan’s life, that he was keeping him in a secret facility, and yes, I made a request.

I asked him to help me. Finally, some honesty, I don’t understand why this is so important to you. When I first got to Salem, I overheard you talking about keeping Gabby and Stephan apart, and then when I compared notes with Johnny Damara, it seemed like his father was also involved. Why did it matter? Well, honestly, I thought I could.

Use it as leverage to get you to gimme that promotion. I already gave you the job and I appreciate that. If you still wanted to hurt me, no, just the opposite. I love you. Okay. I was worried about you. Worried about me, how I was afraid this crazy scheme can blow up in your face. I mean, I’ve seen how hard you’ve fallen for Gabby, but if this isn’t real, please it.

Real. I love her. She loves me. Only me if you’re planning on coming to my wedding to cause trouble. No, no, Gabby, I will not be causing the trouble, but I certainly will enjoy observing it. Easy. Everybody knows what this wedding is about, and that is you holding onto power at. My family company. I know you think that everything is about you, but I am marrying Lee for the right reasons.

I love him and he loves me. If you say so, guess we’ll find out New Year’s Eve. You sure As how Will and and Chloe, I hope you’re not too uncomfortable. I’m assuming you’re reluctant to accept my invitation because of Brady. What does Brady have to do with any of this? Well, you’ll be seeing him at my. I just hope you’ll be okay with that.

Hey, I shared child with Kristen. There’s no way in hell we’re getting back together. Uh, you kind of already did, huh? You, you claim to love Chloe, but if I’m not mistaken, you broke up with her and moved Kristen in. Oh, gosh. I was, I was just doing what I, I, yes. What, what is right for your. Yeah. Okay, so let me get this straight one more time.

You ended your current relationship, so you could be with Rachel’s mother. Why should I believe that Eric wouldn’t do the exact same thing? I would never put in pressure on you to do something you wouldn’t want to do. So what are you saying? If I would’ve called you, you would’ve just sat there and listened without judgment?

Yes, it’s easy to say now. I know things between us ended it badly and I know that it was my fault. Are you, are you about to ask me if I did this to punish you? No, I’m not saying that’s what I was thinking. I’m just trying to understand. This wasn’t an easy choice for me, but it was the right one. It had nothing to do with punishing you.

It had nothing to do with you, period.

Can I ask you a question, please? Thanksgiving day, you made it. You made it very clear about your decision to have the baby. I mean, what was it? What was it that changed your mind?

I thought it was what I wanted, but that was before I had time to process what it would really be. Being a single mom and a cop, it, it was just, just too much.

You weren’t gonna do this alone. We were gonna do this together. I’m you’re saying that now, and I’m sure you believe it. I believed it too, to the fact that even if we didn’t have a relationship, that this baby could still bring us joy and that we can make it.

I would, but then I, I spoke to,

You, you spoke to Nicole. She knows how it is to raise a child alone. She helped me realize that it’s gonna be a struggle. And even though I know you said you, you would share a part of that with me, but half of the time I would be alone. And another part of it, I, I just couldn’t take the pain of burying a child with whose father doesn’t love me and being tied to him for the rest of my life.

So when did you and Nicole have this conversation about the baby? She came here, the other. She came here to see you. She had walked in on Thanksgiving dinner and sauce together. Wait, she was here. Well, apparently she walked in and walked out. So when she came here to see you, what exactly did she say? She said a lot of things.

She asked me some questions like, why would I wanna have a baby that’s gonna connect me with you forever? What else did she say? She was just telling me how it was for her being a single mom, and she painted a very clear picture of what that would look like, and then she finished by reminding me that if I had this child, that she would be a part of my life forever.

She said on that? Yeah, she did. And I have to admit that I didn’t think about how hard it would be. There are so many women in this country with unwanted pregnancies that don’t have a choice, sadly, but I did.

It’s just the other day that this pregnancy wasn’t unwanted.

In your conversation with Cole changed. I don’t know if it was her intent, but her visit definitely helped me decide to not have this baby.

You need to trust me when I tell you that my situation with Kristen is nothing like Eric’s situation with Jada. Eric does not wanna be with Jada. Okay. He ended his relationship because he wants to be with you. Yeah, and I ended my marriage so that I could be with him, but that was before he found out about this baby.

Eric is gonna find a way to work this thing out with Jada. There is no reason why this child has to come between the two of you.

Why is Brady coming to your wedding? Lee invited him. Work politic. You know, and just so there aren’t any other surprises, we invited Brady with a plus one. I’m assuming he’s gonna bring Kristen. Anyway, I’m just gonna leave this RS repeat card with you guys. Can you please send it as soon as you can?

Fuck. I didn’t set out to do any of this. When I discovered that Rolf was keeping Stephan’s body on ice, I, I began to monitor the situation. I, I, I thought possibly I could use it for my advantage of the company, how

everyone still thought of me as just shin’s son. I thought if I could retrieve one of Stefano’s sons, He would help quicken my ascent up the corporate ladder. But then you fell for d i I tried to stuff my attraction down. I knew that Gabby and Stephen were married, but once my feelings passed the point of no return, he realized that bringing back Stephan would cause you to lose her.

And that was not a loss I was willing to accept. So you learned about what Rolf did, but you, you kept quiet about it because it wasn’t any of my business. None of your business. Hey Stephanie, is your brother mean? What if that happened to you? What? What if after your accident, somebody got inside your head and your heart and erased all the love you ever had from mom?

Honestly, I would sincerely thank that person. For doing me a favor, I don’t believe that believe what you want. Now. I am eternally grateful that we produced you and your little sister, but other than that, loving Samantha Brady has caused me nothing but humiliation and heartbreak. Ha ha. Oh, I see. So you were just doing your brother a favor and taking the company back from Gabby.

Just a bonus. Must be good looking down at me from that high horse. If you care about your uncle’s feelings or even the ethics of what Dr. Rolf did to him, what are you saying? I’m saying that this isn’t about you defending someone’s right to love. They want, this isn’t about love at all. This is about resentment and revenge payback.

You swore that you would make me pay for the way I heard vital,

and now you have your chance.

Obviously Nicole didn’t tell you that she came here. I don’t want to talk about Nicole.

I wanna be here for you. For me. Yeah. I wanna be here for you. I, I’m, how are you feeling? I’m fine. Can I get you anything to eat? I’m not hungry. I, I just need to rest Of course. Yeah. Oh, you just let me know if you need anything. I mean, I can take you to your doctor for a follow up if you need. Uh, Eric, it’s, it’s, What

you’ve handled this as well as I could possibly imagine, and I I, and I’m sure that if I would’ve made a different decision, I know that you would’ve done the right thing and been a good father,

but you’re off the hook now. Oh, the hook. You and I are broken. I am not having your child, so there’s no reason for us to be in each other’s lives.

I, um, listen that, that, that was my polite way of saying to leave me alone. Next time. I can’t promise it. I’ll be so nice.

I just don’t see how Jada having this baby won’t come between Eric and me. Doesn’t have to. I said, look, hey, you brought Eric into Holly’s life, right? Holly adores him right? Yes, she does. Mm-hmm. . But Holly doesn’t have a father. This baby will have a mother. Mm-hmm. . And this baby is also gonna have a very cool stepmom.

You come on, you’re gonna be a great stepmom. And at one. And what? At one point when the time is right, you’re gonna go to Jayden, say, jf, I’m really excited about this. I’m gonna be very supportive of this blended family and I’m gonna love this child that you have with Eric. Just as much as I love my. Now say Brady, I can do that,

I suppose. No, no, no, no. Don’t suppose, I suppose wrong word. Do it. Go into this positively and let Jada know that you care enough about this to make this happen. I am urging you back for everyone’s sake. Don’t do anything to screw this up.

Uh, so you seem a bit determined to go to this wedding and you are hating the idea more and more. This Brady, uh, I just, you worried about being around him? I don’t love the idea of being around him on New Year’s Eve, especially if he’s with Kristen. I mean, the reason I took that promotion from Lee was to put some distance between us, you know?

No, I understand that. So look, if going to that ridiculous wedding is going to make you feel uncomfortable, screw. Forget about the wedding, really? Oh, you’re the best. Yeah. Look, I, I am sorry that I put any pressure on you whatsoever. It was just not worth it. But I do remember a place that you did want to go with me.

And where’s that? Miami. Really? You, you still want to go away? Yes. Yes. I, let’s forget about this sham of a wedding and ringing the new year together on the beach, huh? That sounds perfect. Does, doesn’t it? It does. All right. Okay. So

Damara, Chloe Lane will not attend. Regrets to the happy couple. Sounds like an excellent choice, and I will get this to a male box asap. Sounds good. And we will bring in the new year and start fresh. Put Gabby and Brady behind us for good.

Look, I get that. You want to hold on to Gabby, but you have to know that this isn’t fair to. Gabby loves me. I don’t doubt that, but I’ve seen Gabby with Stephan. It’s still painful to have him hate her like that. She’s over him. She wouldn’t be marrying me if she wasn’t. Okay. How do you think she’d react if she knew she’s about to marry the man who made her exs?

Stop loving her. I know all about Gabby and Stephen’s. They weren’t this perfect romantic ideal when they first met. They were bitter adversaries and then they ended up falling in love. And now Stephan has moved on with Chloe Lane. From what I hear, he was infatuated with her and before he ever got involved with Gabby, you really are doing some work to justify this.

I don’t care if you think what I did was wrong, I care about what you’re going to do now that you. What you mean? Am I going to tell anyone?

If you did, I’d lose my job. I’d lose Gabby. I could go to prison. Well, I know I don’t have the right to ask you this. But you left me no other choice.

I’m asking you. No, I’m, I’m begging you Jing one as my sister. Please keep quiet about this. Convince Johnny to do the same.

Yeah, you’re right, Brett. I was angry at you for the way that you treated Ava, and that’s why I started Investigat. I wanted to teach you a lesson,

and after the way Ava treated your grandmother, God rest her soul. Do you still feel the same way that you’d hurt your own father for her? No. No. What she did was horrible, unforgivable. I told you that woman was a menace and now she’s cost me my mother. Look, dad, I’m sorry. Okay. I I If, if, if me taking Ava’s side against you contributed in any way to, to have us losing Grandma.

Susan, I’m sorry

I didn’t blame you. So

I dunno. You know, I just feel like. If I would’ve done things differently, grandma Susan might still be alive.

I really am sorry, dad. It’s okay. It’s,

we both did things that we wish we could take back, but if there is, one thing I do know is that your grandmother would want us to put all of this behind us and be a family. Yeah, I want that too. But if we’re gonna move forward, and Uncle Stephan has a right to know what was done to him.

Sing one.

You know what it was like growing up in our house, the pressure father put on me.

I finally have everything I could ever want. Position of respect

the woman of my dreams.

But my life is in your hands. You never told father about the penalty. Please don’t tell Gabby about this. Tell me about what,

no, no, no. Jonah, you can’t tell s Stephan what was done to him. He’s got a right to know Dad, please. You need to think about it, Johnny, if you tell him, not only could I lose Dira Enterprises, but I could also go back to prison for my complicity. Please. I just lost my mother. Please don’t take anything else away from me.

Uh, we were just talking about gen who my hers first Love. Oh, would what can’t I know about Lee’s first left? I didn’t want you to be jealous, even though you’d have no reason to be. You sure about that? Because when I walked in, you had a pretty guilty look on your face. Oh, you misread my look. I was just glad to see your beautiful face.

That’s what I was him. That you don’t have to worry about my brother’s feelings for you, Gabby. You see, I can confirm that he would do anything to keep your heart. Good to know. Um, anyway, before I left, things were pretty heated between the two of you. Is everything okay? Probably was a little upset with me.

The most important thing is that Jing Wen and I have come to an understanding, I get why she took the jet and we’re ready to put this whole episode behind. Right. This,

what’s going on? Uh, my dad just told me about Grandma Susan. I can’t believe it. Very sorry for your loss, Johnny. Thank you. I thought I heard a tense conversation. Tense, Johnny, it sounded like you were blaming your dad for Susan’s death almost as if what happened was his fault. Oh, is that what you heard?

Just caught the tail end of it. I already told you. I’m guilty. I felt, aj, you don’t need to feel guilty. It’s abundantly clear that Ava was outta control. This whole mess is her fault. Johnny. Don’t blame your father. He needs you right now.

You’re right, you’re right. I’ve, uh, I’ve, I’ve been too hard on him. What’s done has done, and I know that he only wants what’s best for this family.

I admit, I, um, I went to a dark place there for a minute.

I do trust Eric and yes, Polly and Eric and I, and, and this baby on the way will be a family.

We’ll make it work. Eric, ready, have you speak to Nicole alone?

This is not how I imagined any of this going. I mean, we got what we wanted, right? My father and your brother admitted their complicity in the brainwashing of Stephan by Dr. Rolf. If we don’t keep quiet about it, my brother will lose everything. Yeah, my God. Lose everything too. And he’s. Uh, he’s already lost his mom.

My grandma, she died in the most awful way. Johnny, I’m so sorry about your grandma, especially her dying that way. It’s awful, like you said. Yeah, she was just, uh, she was such a sweet, caring person and just. Yeah, to think about, uh, what our last moments must have been like. Uh, it’s just, it’s so sad.

So we both agree we have to keep their secrets. Your dads and my brothers. Gabby and s Stephan can now you feel okay with that? No, not really. Me neither.

Did that kiss, Nick, you forget about Chan who? Chan who?

Pass. Doesn’t matter. Kevin, what matters is. Here us, there’s you and only you. I feel the same. The only thing that matters is us You.

So sorry for what you’re going through, rj.

It’s, it’s all this anger. I don’t know how to deal with it. Of course, you’re angry to lose your mother in that horrific and senseless way.

I know I mentioned this before, but I am here for you, brother. Whatever you need. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that. If it happened to me, if somebody I loved deeply was taken from me, I know you do the same.

Oh, hi. Uh, sorry, I’m just on my way to the mailbox. Yeah. Oh, is that, uh, is that Lee and Cab’s RSVP card? Yeah. Uh, s Stephen and I will not be attending. See, yeah, we’re going away for the weekend, so there’s more room on the dance floor for you. And Kristen, I’m just assuming she’s your plus one. You know what?

Nevermind. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything. Do you know if Nicole’s at Basic Black, I need to run something by her? I, I would, I would wait a bit. Actually, I just came from the office and Eric was there to talk with her. Oh, is everything okay? I don’t know, but I got the sense that he was definitely upset about something.

What is going on? How could you, how could I What? What did you say to Jada? Jada? Tell me the truth. Nicole. Did you encourage Jada to have an abortion?
