THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Can’t believe we’re finally here. Beautiful downtown Jakarta, you only tell us what, uh, 36 hours. No, I’m so tired. I don’t know who I am, let alone my time. It is now. I thought a private jet was supposed to save time. Yeah, well, even if private plane can’t fly through a monsoon, so, Ugh. Real horizontal bed.

Hey, be careful with that stuff. That’s got my film equipment in it. It costs a fortune. Yeah. What you totally don’t need. Look, I’ve never been to Indonesia before and as a filmmaker, I want to document my experience. Okay? Listen up scsi. We’re not here to make a movie. We’re here to find out if your dad and my brother brainwashed Stephan.

Got it.

Ej, we need to talk. What are you doing in my chair? It’s not your chair. Okay, well, what are you doing in ejs Chair? Ejs outta the office today. Attending to a personal matter. Okay, well, I’m here attending to a personal matter myself. I want my company back

and something wrong. Should I go get those puppets back from Henry to make sure that we do this right? You wanna make dumb jokes or kiss?

You are telling me there was no Mr. Re client or the, the threats, the extortion. You weren’t representing someone else. It was just me all along. So you decide to put me and my daughter through hell for the money? No. I wanted to make you suffer for revenge. Revenge For what? For what? Just who the hell are you?

It’s true. You’ve killed someone. Yes. I, I did. I don’t buy a Dupree. You’ve never hurt anyone. But I did, and I have lived with it for years. But you never said anything I was gonna tell you a couple of weeks ago, but I, I couldn’t and I didn’t want you to know, but. Now everyone is going to know that a woman is dead and she’s dead

because of me.

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

This isn’t your company, Gabby. We kicked you out. Remember I’m talking about Gabby Sheik. Which is now part of Dara. Why on earth would we give it back? Because you have basic black, why would you need another fashion house? Because Gabby Sheik makes us lots of money and Dara is like companies that make us lots of money, right?

But it’s my company. I built it from the ground up. It’s my concept. It’s our company. And maybe you should have done a better job at retaining the rights. It has. My name Gabby. The answer is, You can go

say there’s nothing you can do to change my mind. Oh, well how about this?

Am I interrupting?

I know why. You don’t have to bite my head off. Okay. Well, you don’t have to start sentences As a filmmaker,

I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I am nine degrees of Chet Laed. I’m here to find out if my brother did or did not do something. She really reprehensible. I’m just trying to think that maybe he did.

I don’t wanna know. I think maybe I have to look, I guess, uh, I guess I’m just so used to everyone in my family being willing to do anything to get what they want, if it means anything. If Lee is involved in brainwashing stuff and he did it because he really loves Gabby, my dad just did it for. We’re force of habits and the deras have been taking over people’s brains for generations.

It’s kind of like handing down the family recipe for pasta, fa, joli. They’re sweet in kind of a creepy way. Thank you. From what I heard at the office, your dad and my brother had this together. They sent wolf out of the country to cover their tracks. Now we need to figure out what he knows.

First we gotta find him. No, first I need to take a shower. I feel like I was born in these clothes.

Something tells me you stepped on a whole lot of people as you claw your way up in this. So I guess I’m not surprised that you have no idea who I am. So you think that I’ve wronged you somehow, you and your daughter. So to pay us back, you started digging for dirt and found out about that incident in London.

It was not an incident, it was a death, and I took that death very, very personally. Dupre. You need to know that you are looking at someone who is going to love you no matter what. I’m not so sure about that. Well, it doesn’t matter. I am. I don’t want you to know this about me, but you deserve to know the truth.

You better sit down.

Lee, your fiance and I were just talking shop. Oh, bilingually. By the way, will you tell this little minion here that, uh, Gabby Sheik is mine and that I’d like to have it returned to me asap, Gabby. There’s no way in hell EJ is going to return that little dress shop of yours. It’s mine. Gabby, lemme just talk to EJ about it, see what we can work out.

Oh man. Lee, it looks like your personal life and your professional life are on a major collision course. I mean, you’re in love with Gabby, you’re working for ej. Looks like you’re caught between a rock and a Dera place. Will you please just shut up? Hmm. So touchy pre-wedding jitters bride. Lee, unless you have some business here, I’ve got work to do.

I was actually looking for Jing Wen, but she wasn’t in her office. Where is she’s working remotely today. Really? From where?

What are you doing? Answering work? Emails. I have to keep people from wondering why I’m not in the office. Right. Are you going to get dressed? Am I distracting you? Yeah, cuz you’re dripping water everywhere. Ah, there’s already water everywhere. It’s humid as hell. At least imagine. Tell us more of a dry heat.

Hmm. Uh, well, before I get dressed, I had a thought in the shower and I wanted to share it with you that you should stop shaving your chest hair. Nope. Don’t shave my chest tears. I just don’t grow any. Anyway, the thought that I. Was Rolf in his experiments, right? How he lives for them. I don’t think there’s any way that he would’ve ever agreed to come here if my dad and your brother didn’t set him up with some kind of lab, a high tech one.

That sounds like a good place to start. Hey, Stephanie. It’s uh, it’s Chad. Look, I just wanted to give you a heads up. Apparently Sloan gave Gwen Rez check her file on Chanel. Um, I, I, I convinced her to sit down and, and run the story about trash instead. I think that we should still probably get together and figure out how we want to move forward.

Um, just gimme a call. Okay. Bye.

That was nice. I’m glad you proof. We should stop though, because Henry’s in the other room and he could wander back in. I don’t like it, but you’re right. Can’t traumatize the kid. Yeah. Ally has enough to deal with as it is. It all happened when I was living in London and I was still in college. Um, university.

And it was my senior year and I had an affair with one of my professors. And she was the woman who died? No, no. Um, she was married to him and, um, he was the very dreamy doctor Nathan. Bedford,

I was struggling in his class and you know, the bread, they, they grew up reading Dickens and I was just lost. And so I thought that’s why he was getting me extra attention and he was trying to, I, well I thought he was trying to help me, um, catch up in his classes and I, um, I would go to his office. Office hours cuz he asked me to.

And he, he really seemed like he, he cared about what I, what I thought. Hmm. I’m sure he did. Anyway, uh, we were reading Bleak House and he took me to the rooftop of the English department and he wanted to show me some of the locations from the book. And Ali, oh God. It was, it was beautiful. The sun was setting over the Tims and he pointed out to where Chancery was and ah, I, I leaned over to try to see it and I got scared and he.

He pulled me back and he kissed me

and it was, it was thrilling to me. And that was the start of the affair

and the start of. The worst thing that has ever happened to me.

So I love my wedding present. A new bride per book. Yeah. Hello. That’s between, uh, that and what to, uh, expect on your wedding night. , you’re so hilarious. So how are you? Just don’t ask me that because I am really doing fine, except when Roman is always asking me how I’m doing and then that drives me crazy.

Well, that’s because he was scared he was gonna lose you. So was I. I know. And are you, you both went through a love. So how are you doing? You probably have a lot on your plate with this Paulina situation. . Yeah. Stephanie and I have been on full damage control since the story broke. Yeah. How’s that going?

Given how you feel about her? You remember that? Yes. I remember it. Dying. I wasn’t dead. And how did you So elegantly put it really into her. Well, yeah. And then I also said that I wasn’t ready for anything to happen between us. Yeah. Well is that still the case?

It doesn’t matter. It’s a moot point. She’s dating Alex Carri.

Oh, well this is domesticated now, isn’t it? Oh yeah. Maybe later we can watch a cooking show. Oh yeah. Mm-hmm. , you gotta say, it is hard to believe. A couple weeks ago you couldn’t stand me, and now I put, apparently you can sort of call . You have to admit, when we first met you were. Obnoxious. Ouch. The touche.

I was trying to be disarming. Well, it wasn’t completely your fault. He was bad timing. Meaning the last guy I dated, he came on strong like you did. Like I was the end all and the be all. I mean, I really fell for it. But then he just, um, well you spell Ghosted, , and, um, there you were following the exact same playbook, so I wasn’t about to let you or any man play me like that Again, those months were, Oh, they were magic.

And it wasn’t just about the sex. He would give me books to read that I never heard of, and he’d ask me questions about what I thought and what I felt about those books, and, and then it would be days later and we will be lying in bed and then outta nowhere, he’d say, oh, I was thinking about what you said.

And it was just it. It made me feel like he not only listened, but he actually took what I said serious. It was the polar opposite of mama. He, he actually treated me like I was an adult. But you were a kid. Chanel, he was your teacher. He, he used his position and his status to, sorry, go on.

Um,

you know how it goes. Um. I fell head over heels in love with him and I was gonna marry him and I was going to inspire him to finish the novel that he knew he had in him. And what about the wife?

Uh, you’ll be stunned to hear that he told me the marriage was loveless and toxic and that he was just there for the kids, and now the kids were gone. How long were you two together? Almost the whole semester.

And then one night I got this text from him saying to meet him on the rooftop hour up our. Special place only when I got there. It wasn’t him,

it was the wife.

Just how personal is this vendetta of yours? It’s finally clicking into place, isn’t it?

I didn’t see it before, maybe because I never. But I’ve seen a picture and now I can see a slight resemblance. Yeah, people always did say I had her eyes. Dr. Bedford’s wife, the one who Chanel murdered.

Shouldn’t pick up. Wonder where she is? Well, she’s probably at home. Right? I’ll see if I have her new address. Well, I know where it is. She’s, um, staying with Allie and Chanel. When did that happen? Wendy said, Johnny set it up. Okay, well, um, I guess I’ll head over there now. One head over with me. Actually, I’m gonna get the Gabby Sheik paperwork ready so that when EJ gives me the, okay, I can hit the ground running.

Oh, hang on. I just got a weather report here. It says once EJ gives the, okay, hell will freeze over and I’ll see you tonight. You know, I think, um, I’m gonna wait for you to come back here with him. Did I not mention that I have work to. The printer should have the wedding invitation proofs within the hour, and I thought we could look them over together.

You’re sure you wanna wait? Well, I mean, I’d like to get them approved as soon as possible. Okay. I’ll be back as soon as I can play. Nice.

Any luck? I’ve been using my access to damer files, to local police corporate expenses and so far I don’t see any payments for lapse on your Carta. Did you try using my father’s too? Nothing. But what if they’re disguising? The lease is just regular office space. All they do lease a lot of buildings here.

Whatever it is, it would take a lot more power. Right to, to power a full-blown lab. You’re right. Than an actual office. I’ll, I’ll look up electricity pills.

Bingo.

She, she must have read the, the text because she, she knew about the, um, the rooftop and she. She’d set the whole thing up and when, when I got there and she saw me, she lost it. And I can’t even tell you the thing she called me, but the nicest one was home wrecker. And I should have just turned around and left, but I was, I was so stupid young.

You were young. Anyway, I don’t know why, but I, I tried to explain to her that he was unhappy with her and that he loved me and that he was going to divorce her and marry me, and she just looked right at me and said, he’s mine, and then she slapped me. She never said she loved him. Just, he’s mine.

And then she told me that he was lying to me and that he would never leave her or their bay water flat with a garden bitch. And then I said, oh, and I shouldn’t have, I should have, what did you say? Is that flat? Yours too. And, oh, God, ally, she lost it. She, she just, she charged me like a rocket. And I, I, I tried to get away.

I tried it, but it all happened so fast and I tried to push her away, but, but I, I didn’t realize how close we were to the edge and then,

I can still hear her scream,

and then I looked over the side and she was lying there in a pool of blood and

I killed her rally. I killed her.

My mother was the strongest, smartest woman I’ve ever known. She was the reason I became a lawyer. I always wanted to be just. I was actually in law school when I, uh, I got the call, they said she’d killed herself, which didn’t make any sense. But, uh, but then my dad called and uh, he said it was true. What exactly did he tell you?

That he told her he wanted a divorce and she couldn’t take it, so she jumped off a building, but, Again, didn’t make any sense because she’s a fighter. She would never do that. So your father never told you about Chanel? Oh, you mean his side piece? Watch it. No, he didn’t share that part of the story with me.

And when he resigned his position, I thought it was because he was grieving. Of course, now I know the truth. And when he stopped working on that novel that he always talked about, he started drinking himself to death. When you first started to blackmail me, I looked into his whereabouts. I saw that he died a couple years ago.

When he was dying, he took my hand and he told me that my mother hadn’t really killed herself. It was at his funeral that I decided to find out what had really happened, which is when I found out that your precious little Chanel had killed my mother.

What happened next?

I didn’t know what to do. I, I just stood there frozen for a long, long time, and then all of a sudden the campus. Burst through the door of the rooftop, and they took me down to their office and they asked me what happened, and I couldn’t even really hear what they were saying because I just kept hearing her in my head.

I kept hearing what she said to me that, that I was a slut and a home record, and she told me that she had children and that I had ruined their lives. And, and so then I just, I just blurted out, it’s my fault. It’s my fault. And I told them that I was having an affair with her husband and that. I pushed her and I even signed a statement.

I don’t understand. I mean, obviously there was no trial

and no one seems to know about this. How did you keep it quiet?

Are you at all interested in the truth, or do you just wanna be a self-righteous victim? Oh, I know the truth. I read her statements. She admitted she pushed my mother. Well, sh she admitted she pushed her only to protect herself. No, she didn’t lure your mother to that roof. She didn’t lunge at your mother.

If it was self-defense, why did you cover it up? You hid the evidence, the surveillance photos, the. Not to mention the hush money you gave this school. Well, she’d been through enough. She got off Scott free. She seduced my father, killed my mother. And then you just went and cuted it up.

So Stephanie’s dating Sonny’s brother. It was one date. How do you feel about that? I think that she can do better, but I’m a friend, so I’m gonna support her because that’s what friends do. Oh, I. Um, what happens when you decide that you want to be more than France? I don’t know, Kate. I don’t know if or when I will be ready to move on.

I, I’m, I, I might never move on with someone else again. I might never be with anybody else, ever again. Oh, come on. Don’t say that. I think I know Abigail would want you to fall in love. I just hope that you don’t wait too long. Oh, Stephanie and Alex May have crashed and burned by then. I’ll fallen madly in love.

Thank you. You know, I am ashamed to admit that I have certainly ghosted my fair share of women, although I was pretty upfront about what. intentions were, you know, I wasn’t looking for love or any type of commitment. Just a good time. Looking back on that now, it’s a pretty crappy thing to do. Hmm. And why were you so scared of love?

I wasn’t scared of love, I just, I was averse to it. An important distinction.

I honestly think it’s cuz of my mom. Angelica. Yeah. Yeah. She always, she always told me growing up the entire time that love was this trap full of misery and pain and upbeat was. Yeah, she was a pretty bitter woman after my dad left her for Adrian. So rather than getting hurt again, she just went from one meaningless fling to the next, and I guess I kind of followed her lead.

Could I tell you this though? The woman wasn’t wrong. If you don’t care, you don’t get hurt.

But then, But what my mom went on to live this really sad life after my dad was gone. She just became kind of desperate. That must have been really hard to watch, especially after my dad and Adrian seemingly had it all. You know, I told myself this whole time that I was just like my.

That I would never have what they did,

and I met you.

When you said you were going to wait for Leah, I didn’t realize you meant in my office. Shut your office. Well, could you keep it down please? The noise is driving me nuts. I can’t focus. Oh, it’s the printer. Sounds private. Maybe you should take it in the hall. Martin. Hi. Yes. Did you send over? No, no, no, no. I don’t have the name of the fonts.

I dunno them off the top of my head, but you know what? I am in my old office. You know what? They could be here. Hang on a second. Wait. See? Ej, did it move so much here?

Hi. Hi, can I help you? I’m Lee Shin Jing. Wen uh, Wendy’s brother. Is she here? The new roommate? No, I’m sorry. Um, Ellie told me she left town. Oh. Um, did she say where she went? No, not as I recall. Sorry. Well, thanks for your time. For sure. And if, uh, I hear from all and she says anything, we’ll be sure to let you.

I’d appreciate that. Take care. You too.

This is Lee in. I need you to locate my sister. So if we’re right, Dr. Ralf slab is only a few miles away and with Jakarta traffic, that should be what? An hour? We better get a move on. Wait, wait, wait. We don’t even have a plan. Even if we do find this guy, he’s not just gonna admit that he brainwashed someone.

Uh, then I’ll say I’m here on Lee’s behalf, uh, that he wants me to make sure he has everything he needs. Okay. Yeah, and I’ll, I’ll say that my dad sent me. Oh, too risky. I’m sure he knows you’ve been on the office with your dad. It’s better if I go alone. I’ll, I feel like I’m in on everything. Trick him into confessing.

No, no, no. We, he’s just gonna deny it later. We need proof. Okay. Uh, I can use my phone to record him

and actually I have a better idea after the campus cops took my statement. I called my mother and she was on the next plane to London telling her about Nathan what happened. It was the hardest thing that I’d ever had to do. She just went into mother bear mode and when she got there, she met with the president of the school and she convinced him that it would be a huge scandal if the truth came out.

A distinguished professor having an affair with a young, impressionable student and, uh, she also offered to make a sizable donation. Make it all go away and the president agreed, they issued a statement saying that Martha, Committed suicide and the surveillance photos and my statement, they all just disappeared as far as anyone knew.

I was never there that night.

So how did Sloan and her client get all this evidence? I have no idea. How long have you been plotting all this? About a year. I tracked you and Chanel down to Salem, set up my practice here using my mother’s maiden name, Peterson. I didn’t want you to see me coming. And then I waited for the perfect moment to make my move to do as much damage as possible when I was running for governor.

Write smack dab in the public. You know, you are very much like your mother. You find out your father’s a lion cheat who said your mother committed suicide to cover his butt down zero 60. You go blaming someone else lies, threats named calling blackmail with no reflection. There might be another side to the story and that maybe your mother isn’t quite the feminist saint that you make her out to be.

Don’t you say another word about my mother? I’m just saying you.

And Chanel is like me and vice versa. So you have, uh, metaphorically lured me to the rooftop. You talking smack you threatening me thinking you got me in your clutches. But as I said, my daughter and I are very much alike. Someone charges me, I shov back hard. So you might want to think about where you might land.

You need to listen to me. That woman attacked you. It was self-defense. I go at her. She’s the one who lured you to the rooftop in the first place. I was sleeping with her husband. That professor prayed on you. Tell me, after this happened, did he even try and help you? I never saw him again. He was forced to resign.

Poor. Allie, you don’t understand the guilt. I, I kept pushing it down, trying to deny it, and that’s why I was in the party scene when we met. But don’t you see it’s all come back because, because I never paid for what I did. I killed that woman. And now, I have to face the consequences

no matter what you say. Chanel is going to prison the hell she is. Now I know it must be hard for you to accept the fact that your father was a drunken sex addict, and your mother lured a young woman to the roof that night to punish her, humiliate her, make her pay. She instigated that fight. Chanel was only defending herself and.

I am not going to let your neurotic need to rewrite history, ruin my daughter’s life. No. She is gonna get what’s coming to her, what she deserves, and so are you. And that’s a promise. Sorry I never met you folks. Sound like a fun couple

baby.

Everything. Okay. Um, Chad left me a message about the situation with Paulina. I’d, I’d better go check in. Okay. If you must. Thank you for coming by and helping me out with Henry. Hmm. No problem. But, Before you go, do you think maybe we could go on another date? I think I would look forward to that.

I don’t wanna hold Stephanie back when I can’t promise anything. Oh God. There you go again, always having to be fair. Always having to do the right thing. I don’t even know why I like you.

Oh honey. If I push you, it’s just because I want you to be happy again. Yeah, yeah. I know. I know. Yeah. I’m so glad I was able to find my. Thank you Martin. I’m gonna, I’ll be waiting for your email. Okay. Time for you to go. I’m waiting for me. Wait somewhere else. I don’t wanna wait somewhere else. Okay. Too bad.

Get your hands off me. I want you outta here now. No.

Did you find my sister? She logged in from where?

Hey. Hey. You ready for your hidden mic? Oh, I am now. I wasn’t about to let you get anywhere near me until I showered. Okay. Uh, Lift up your shirt.

Just gonna take this in, uh, right here,

this mic. We’ll pick up everything that Groff says and I will be right outside. So I guess the film equipment came in handy after all.

How’s that feel? Feels good. I mean, it’s fine.

Am I making you nervous? Why would I be nervous? I dunno. You tell me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Client never wanted a,

my client has no comment at this time. Of course, governor Elect price believes in justice. That’s why she’s asked me to remind everyone that in this country, a person is innocent until proven guilty. Well, I’m sorry to hear that. That’s all for now. Thank you.

What now?

Oh, hey, you read the intruder?

They’re all sharks and they smell blood in the water.

Bloody clothes. Damn. We do now.

Right. Well, we reached out to the Accused Bakery sweep bits for comment, but it seems that there’s some sort of a cover up that is expanding faster than the. Dough in their ovens? No. Oh God. How am I supposed to do a cover story on this? And I can’t even get comment from anybody.

Hi Gwen’s. Check from the Spectator. I know who you are, Gwen. Yeah. Your, um, sister-in-law’s girlfriend who’s just arrested for mad. You know, there’s unidentified sources that say that there’s some sort of a cover up going on. So tell me, when did Allie know this? What does

Ra It’s Allie. Um, I’m calling because. I need to see Chanel and they won’t let me. They’re saying that trash is not allowing visitors. If there’s anything that you can do, let me know. Show me back please,

Alex. Hey, I heard about Chanel. Thought maybe you could use a friend.

I don’t care what that fool trash says. I’m coming down there to see my baby girl. I’m the governor elect. What’s she going to do? Arrest me, Paulina. Listen, as a mother, I understand where you’re coming from. But as your daughter’s attorney, I have to ask you to just stay away. Okay. You and Abe need to avoid the press.

Good morning, Ms. Dupree.

Sleep well. I just thought after a long night in lockup, you might be ready to have a little chat with me. So what do you say? Are you ready to confess to murder,

like sands through the hourglass? So are the days of our lives.

You okay? Yeah. That’s a dumb question. No, it’s not. I mean, what else are you supposed to say? I’m not. Alex, well, let me see her. I mean, I watched them take her into a cell last night and then it’s alright. And then, I mean, I came home and Henry asked me why Chanel’s not here to do his favorite goodnight puppet show with him , he likes her funny voices better.

So I had to do both characters through tears. Obviously he knew something was wrong, but he eventually, he passed out. Did you get any sleep at all? No. I couldn’t sleep in our bed. I mean, I came out here, but this couch sucks, but I knew I wasn’t gonna sleep anyway. Yeah, I get it. I’m sorry. I, I don’t, I don’t even know what this is about.

Like how could this happen? Chanel arrested for murder and they’re saying that they have all of this evidence. God knows where they got that. Yeah, actually I know where they got it.

Since when are you a reporter for The Spectator? I’m asking the questions. Thank you. Okay. Tell me, so when did your husband find out that his sister was dating a murderer? No fricking comment. Especially after everything you did. The Chad and Abigail. You have some nerve accusing anyone of anything. Don’t think I’m not gonna write about.

Maybe he won’t answer your questions, but I will.

I tried to squash that story, but the intruder isn’t really big on facts or integrity or, what’s that word again? Oh yeah, truth. Well, I’m well aware of the depths to which the injury will sink. The problem is their readers will believe this trash. I mean, all they care about is boosting click numbers, but all they have to do is feed their readers These sensationalized lies like this.

I was the target before. Saw the scars from the hatch job first. They went after my one night stand with Glen Resk, and then my alleged affair with Leo Stark Lime rat. Good morning, governor Elect price. I have your schedule, your call log your half, half vanilla soy with just a dusting of turmeric.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find your favorite pastry that bearclaw from Sweet Bits. So I took the initiative of making you a cake and a mug in the microwave. You fired Mary. Uh, but I’m Leo, I don’t give a damn what your name is. I’m kicking your ass to the curb. You are done here, but I I, I’m the only one standing between you and all those blood thirsty reporters out there.

I just told them I saw Barbara Streisand putting in her advanced order at the Brady Pub for 800 taken baked turkeys for all those weird underground mall employees. She has those press vs flanked over there in a wild goose chase. But they’ll be back. But you won’t. I’ll take my chances with the press.

But you are the voucher I need to get rid of. Cause you are the reason that my daughter was arrested for murder.

It’s just a matter of time. Chanel, trust me, it’ll be better for all of us. Even you if you just confess what the hell is going on here? You know damn well you can’t question my client without me present. I was merely checking in with our guest here and since you finally decided to join. I’d like to ask you a few questions Chanel, and get the answers we are all looking for, and I assume that your attorney has had a chance to look over the file of evidence that we have.

Yes. As a matter of fact, I’ve had a chance to look it over and that’s exactly why I’m here to insist that you drop all of these charges.

Why would I believe a single word that came out of your mouth? You never know. Maybe I have some insights that could be valuable to you. . Yeah, not a chance. What do you think the state bar would do if they found out that you coaxed Leo Stark, your client? Into lying to the police gui to dignify that with the, and how do you think that the state bar would react if they found out that said obstruction of justice led to the wrongful arrest of an innocent party?

Namely me, you know, if this really is your line of questioning, I would say that there’s no proof that I had any knowledge of my client’s true intentions. And with the information that my client gave me, I acted in his best. Also, I am currently available for council. So why don’t you hop on over to my website, uh, you know, for the little piece you’re writing, why don’t you go to Hill?

Actually,

better question. Do you have any knowledge of who gave Melinda Trask the dirt on Chanel dupree? And the answer, ding, ding, ding. Is me. Great. Your skeezy lawyer friend is the one who had evidence on Chanel. Where did she get it? I don’t know. And for the record, Sloan is no longer my friend or anything else for that matter.

Ever since she has proven to me that she’s nothing but a ambulance chasing she Devil. Yes, that should pretty much be on her business card. And now it turns out that she’s blackmailing Chanel’s mother for some mystery. Not that I even had a clue about that when I stole the file of evidence from her apartment.

Oh, wow. I mean, thank you. Please do not thank me yet. It’s not the end of the story. Sloane somehow got the file back. She gave it to the da. Why on earth would I drop the charges when I have everything I need to convict your client right here in this little file. Right. Listen, I know you’re really busy, so you might have forgotten, but we’re in Salem.

Oh, is that where we are? Yes. And the incident in question actually happened when Chanel was living abroad in the United Kingdom. So Ms. Trask, you don’t actually have jurisdiction. So I’m just gonna go find someone to uncuff you and get you out of here. Oh my God, thank you so much. I wouldn’t thank her just yet.

Ms. Dupree, because you aren’t going anywhere, I have obtained permission from Scotland Luard to question your client on their behalf, . Okay? You think a judge is gonna buy that? Mm, I’m sure. Or else I wouldn’t have gone through the trouble. Okay. We’ll see at the arraignment, but until there’s a ruling, my client’s not answering any more of your questions.

Okay, sure. Fine by me. Oh, uh, Ms. Brady, did you happen to see your husband out there when you were making your call? What do you want with Sean? Well, we’re gonna need someone to haul in Chanel’s mother for question. If your client won’t talk, maybe Governor elect price will

Ms. Price. If you would just let me explain what the hell is there to explain. See, Stephanie Johnson told me. Everything. So now I know that you, you, you took sw, you are the one who left that Sloan Peterson into my safe. Well, no, no, she didn’t tell you everything because she left out the part about being an accident.

I only opened up that safe in my capacity as your assistant to execute your executive orders. You said I could have an advance on my salary. Remember, that’s what this is about. The payback said shyster, and I didn’t want to interrupt the newly elected governor of this great state. So I opened up the safe and I took the advance from petty cash.

Not a penny more you can check, but I had no idea those documents were in there and no idea that sneaky Succubus was gonna smash them out from behind my back. I know you probably want to kill me right about now. Don’t gimme any ideas.

How did Governor Elect price persuade the voters that she was the Law and Order candidate when she has a daughter in prison for murder and another on the way there for that same charge. And then the journalist goes on to, to say that Hanau was let away in handcuffs on election night and then declares their guilt as if he’s judge, jury, and executioner.

I mean, it seems like he’s, he’s, he’s coming at this like he’s got a personal vendetta. You know? There’s not a single fact. Okay. Okay. But until we know the full story, let’s stop focusing on the little details. Fact or fiction. Right now, our only job is to take care of Paulino and her family. So the question is how do we spend this?

What do you want with my mama? I think you know, Ms. Dupree, that this file has evidence that your mother is an accomplice after the fact that she covered up your crime to cover your ass. And that is, as I’m sure you know, illegal and I think the good people of this state should know who they elected as their.

I’ll just go get a detective and go down to our campaign offices. And if Sean isn’t available, well, I’ve planned people on staff that can make the arrest. No, no. Wait, I will answer your questions. No, Chanel don’t. Yes. Do this. Yes. Ask me anything you want and I will answer. I will not let my mother pay for something that I did.

Wait, I think I got it. Okay. You said that reporter wrote the articles if it was personal. Well, our venomous district attorney makes everything personal, right, that she does from what I’ve read and heard. She was determined to put Pauline’s daughter Lonnie behind bars for the rest of her life and would therefore be deeply disappointed if not infuriated, that that did not happen because Pauline had forced her hand, made her cut a deal.

So if she couldn’t get one daughter, then you get the other one that could work. That’s brilliant. You’re brilliant. Okay. Let’s keep the spin focused on our clients. But, okay. How do we, how do we drive this home? How do we get this story about a da with an ax to grind to a media outlet that doesn’t do hatchet jobs?

Well, I, uh, I have an in, what’s the only reputable newspaper in town? Of course, uncle Jack owns a spectator. Yeah. But Jack’s visiting Jennifer in New York, but they did hire a new reporter who I think is a year to make her mark. And you know, this person more intimately than I’d like to.

Check’s daughter. Great. What do you think Gwen Riz check will do you a favor given her history. I don’t know. I’ll make it happen. So you are the one who gave evidence against Chanel Dask. Guilty.

Right. So first you try to railroad me and now you are going after the governor elect’s daughter. What did you, did you vote for the other guy? No, no, no. I don’t get involved in politics. There’s way more money in the middle. Yeah. There’s also lots of money in fabricating evidence. Isn. Fine. Don’t take my word for it.

Never. Well, why don’t you be the judge? I can just send you the file. What’s your angle here? I have no angle. I’m just doing my duty as a good citizen. Besides, I think the people deserve to know the truth that that mommy of two murderers just got elected as governor. Keep an eye out from my email.

Look, I had no idea what was in that file, had anything to do with Chanel, and if I had known that, I would’ve burned the damn thing right then and there. Yeah, but you didn’t know, I mean, you were just trying to help. Yeah, and then I ended up causing a colossal mess.

Look, right now, I am here for you and to help you any way I possibly can. That’s it. Thank you.

Oh my God. Okay. Ray said that he pulled some strings. I can go see Chanel. That’s great. You gotta go. Oh yeah, I know. It’s such a relief. He said I can go right now. Perfect. Good. Cool. Hey, um, oh my, what am I gonna do about Henry? I obviously can’t bring him there and my new roommate’s outta town. I can babysit.

Really? You don’t? You don’t mind? I don’t mind. What do you mean? I just told you whatever I can do to help. You just said I don’t want my mother to pay for what I did. Is that an admission of guilt? Mr. Dpri? You do not answer that. Okay, fine. Let’s start with an easy one. Do you recognize this woman in this photo?

Yes. What’s her name? Martha Bedford. And this one, is that you? Yes. When I was in college. And here is the copy of the incident report. Is that your signature at the bottom indicating that this is your sworn statement?

Yes. So you admit you are the one who murdered Martha Bedford. Okay, we’re gonna stop right there. Don’t say another word. I can bring her mother in here if I need to. You know what? You can bring in her mother, her grandmother, the Pope, or the Easter bunny. This interview is over.

I did not give you the okay to open my safe, did I? Did I? So since you took that upon yourself, my little girl was arrested for murder. But she didn’t do it right. She’s innocent, isn’t she? Ms. Price? I understand exactly what your daughter is going through. I too have been falsely accused and it’s traumatic.

It’s horrible. I still have nightmares about it, except Chanel isn’t being falsely accused, is she? She’s guilty of sin.

Yeah, more lies from the desk of Sloan Peterson. I swear to God, if I get a virus from opening his attachment, I’m gonna bloody kill.

Oh my God. Hello Gwen. Sorry. I know you just, um, you just started at the Spectator and, uh, and boy do I have, I have a big. Story for you. Trust me, you are gonna want this byline. Not as big as the fish that I just landed.

You’ve tricked me. I turned my back for one second. Counting the money to pay you back and you pluck a personal file from safe. That’s theft. And now you’ve returned to the scene of the crime. Call the police. I have no problem testifying against her. I see you’re back to your old tricks, Mr. Stark. You just said your back was turned.

So how can you testify as a witness? Uh, no, you said that. I said my back was turned and now I retract that statement. I will have no problem telling the cops I saw you reach into that safe. Now I see it. I kept asking myself over and over, why, why would she hire this little pip squeak? And now it’s so clear.

Go, you’re done here. I’m just trying to help and you’re making things worse now just get. Fine, but you have not seen the last of me Peterson, and mark my words. You will eventually be very, very sorry. You ever messed with me in such an appallingly, deceitful way,

and good luck finding turmeric in this little burg I bought out Salem’s entire supply for you.

So, Another daughter made a mess and you swoop and clean it up, but yet again, all your power and money couldn’t save it from blowing up in your face. You know, I really thought this finger paint would come off a little easier, but we’re just gonna have to give you a bath later. For now, you do your thing.

Block time. It’s block time. Yeah. No, mommy must have forgot something. Good work. Yeah. Good work. Oh.

No, I don’t want my mother involved. Chanel. You do not say another word. Counselor, how about you and I have a little chat outside. Huh?

Don’t test me, miss Broody. I will haul in Paulina Price. Oh, please. If you’re going to, you would’ve done that already. I’m here to see my girlfriend finally, and nobody is going to stop me.

Alex, I didn’t expect to see you here. Well, ally went to go see Chanel, so I offered to stay. Henry. Oh, well that was nice of you. I, uh, I came by to see Allie too. I wanted to see if she was doing okay and if she needed help with what to say. You know, the press approaches her. Ah, so you’re here on a PR mission for the governor?

Yeah. Hmm. She was only elected yesterday and already as a major crisis. I’m just here to help however I can. Well, that makes two of us came here with the same message and, uh, Ended up becoming the backup babysitter. Oh, well, looks like you’ve got everything under control on this front. Yeah.

Hey, it’s okay buddy. Hey, it’s okay. Hey, mommy’s gonna be back soon. Promise. Okay. She’s gonna be back soon. Come here. Come on, let’s go. Alright. Alright buddy. She’ll be back soon. Shell be back soon. Maybe I’m needed here. After all,

the prisoner isn’t allowed. Any visitors. Well, commissioner Ray Hernandez says other. Here is his written authorization.

I, I’ll have to have a word with the commissioner actually, last time I checked Ray reports to the mayor, not you. So Yes, you can go in. She’s in there. Thank you.

The mayor, huh? Huh? You mean Mr. Paulina? Price? If he thinks he can sweep all of this under the rug too, then he’s in for a rude, awake.

Leo, are you okay? No Jackson, far from it. I am utterly miserable console me.

Oh, um, I was actually just doing some early Christmas shopping Ferrari, so I should probably, you know, get back. Yeah. You’re such a good daddy. I wish I had an adorable daddy buying me gifts, but this is for sure going to be a screw gear for little old me. You sit for a few. Just a few. I promise I won’t keep you.

Not that I could or should. Unlike me, you have a life, you have a job, a husband, child, family, and friends. Why would you wanna squander time trying to cheer up ale? Mazel like me.

Do you? Um, Do you wanna tell me what’s going on? Where to begin?

Aside from hating myself for being the most annoying person on the planet, by all accounts,

my new career is over before it even began.

I am not quite sure as to what you’re referring. Please. Let’s just skip this part. Okay. Your assistant just threatened to perjury himself. I think we both know where we stand. Well, that man is no longer my assistant. Okay. If you wanna do it that way, fine. Let me just spell it out for you. You lied about the murder of TR Coats to protect your eldest daughter, Lonnie.

Common Knowledge. Right, right. And now Trask knows what Chanel did and how you covered it up. Are we on the same page here now? So two daughters, two crimes, and two coverups. So now it’s only a matter of time if we’re slapped with handguns and let away and disgrace. Does that sound about right? Governor?

I am gonna give you an SJ p r exclusive. Are you, you ready for this? Da Trash Targets Governor Elect and Family over Old Grudge. Hey, uh, Gwen, are you listening to me? I, if you want to be a reporter, you’re gonna have to pull yourself off social media or whatever it is a, a stupid game. You’re, you’re playing and, uh, and focus on the news that’s happening right in front of you.

You know, I r l Baby. Fyi, I am not on social media and I’m not playing a stupid game. In fact, I’m doing research on my. New article. How does this headline sound? Right? Okay. Damning evidence surfaces in Governor elect criminal cover ups what I happen to be in possession of a copy of the evidence against Chanel and her mother.

The reporter never reveals her sources. And what the hell since you’ve seen so obviously invested. Sloane Peterson. Peterson gave you that. Me and Trask. And while Trask is gonna take it to the court, I’m gonna take it to the presses. Oh. Ah, no, no. You can’t publish that. Watch me.

Oh, Dupree. I was so worried about you. Oh, I’m good. Horton. Now that you’re here, and I’m so sorry for where you must be going, forget about me. You’re the one who’s in here. You’re the one who’s being falsely accused. I just, I miss you so much. So does. Oh, sweet Henry, is he here? Is, is he? No, no, no. He’s home.

He’s with Alex. And then I realized I wanted to go all the way home, but I couldn’t. Oh, no. How come? Oh, I wanted to run home, but I realized. I have no legs. Wha What do you mean you have no legs? We a tick. I have no legs either. What do we do? I dunno. But maybe it’s good. Now we found each other you mean because we both have no legs.

Yeah. We’re the same. We’re the same. Well, since we found each other, whatever shall we do, maybe we should kiss. You want me? To kiss you.

Alright. Here goes nothing.

Okay. Well, I mean, it’s not like he actually gave Peterson the file. Of course not. The last person I would ever be in cahoots with is that miserable skank. It was an accident. Did you explain that to Paulina? Madame? Governor Scrooge would not hear it, so she bagged me right out the door like I was a common criminal.

I’m never gonna have my happy ending. Like Bob crotch it. It’s crotch it. Leo, what’d I say? It doesn’t matter. Okay. Just maybe this isn’t the end of the story, you know, maybe Pauline will be visited by three ghosts tonight. I, I doubt it. No, no. I, even though it was an accident, it’s still my fault, son for opening up that damn safe without Ms.

Price’s permission. That was, uh, That was not cool. No, it wasn’t. Even though I didn’t have my usual alleged ill intentions, uh, Jackson, I really was turning the corner. I had a decent job. I was eating well, cutting back on the booze, reading all these self-help books about how to be a decent person. My favorite of which, by the way, is called Stop Fetching and Get a Life, which I highly recommend, and then I blew it.

Okay. Well, you know, on the bright side, you didn’t mean to hurt anyone. You, I mean, at least not this time. True.

I guess. I’m so used to crossing lines. I don’t even see them when they’re right in front of me.

Those allegations haven’t, haven’t been proven. I don’t know that you knew the, the whole reporter thing, but if Abigail were here, she would tell you. Then you need multiple, reliable sources. You can’t print it until you can verify it. Right. Well, I appreciate the, uh, crash course in journalism 1 0 1. Yeah.

Cheers. Thanks. But I’m, I’m good. And, uh, I think the, uh, documents that Sloan sent seem legitimate, so if they’re good enough to ask, but I would go to Jack.

But he’s focused on Jennifer right now. Please, Gwen, I’m begging you don’t publish this.

Give me a reason why not to jack your dad. He trusted you. He gave you this chance. I know you helped Jennifer get the help that she needed. Which shows me that I know that you, you want to be a better person. Keep that going and use the chance that he gave you for good. Don’t do trust dirty work. You know, from experience that Sloan isn’t somebody who who can be trusted.

You have to decide which side do you want to be on it.

Why are you doing. You broke our deal. Well, I stole the file. You stole it back. All fair and love in politics. But we were back to square one. I would’ve paid you all the same. Now you got nothing. When you gave that file to the da, you lost all your leverage. Your client must be thrilled. You cost that dirty blackmail, a ton of money.

I guess since everything’s out in the open now, I’ll let you in on a little secret. This was never about the money.

I had this amazing opportunity and I blew it off to smithereens, but hey, that’s what I’m best at, isn’t it? I threw away an incredible. Access to power. A decent salary. At least I still have all the turmeric a girl could want. I’m sorry. Really? Really?

Um, have you had breakfast, Jeff? Hello? Did grab this on my way out the door. Why? Come in now. Have a bite with me. I would love to, but like I said, I’m poor than Bob Crot. Come on you. You bought me dinner last night. All right. I owe you one. You really wanna be seen with the disgraced ex assistant of the soon to be disgraced Governor Elect.

I could care less what people think. All right. And you and didn’t look like you could use a friend. Are we friends now? Jackson? Mm-hmm. . Let’s just. Let’s start with breakfast. Okay,

well I guess our puppet show knocked him out cuz little Hank is sound asleep. he is. So brushes, I know. You know, our date last night didn’t really, uh, end the way a date is supposed to, you know, a good date anyway. And how does a good date end? Oh, oh. I suppose since we now know that we make such a good team, what else should we possibly do?

Hmm. Maybe we should kiss

fine. I’ll go with your story and I won’t publish the file. Thank you. Until I can verify it’s true. Off the record. I hope it’s not Why, so that I can write the story that I’d prefer to write. Trashing Sloan Peterson and Melinda Trask.

This wasn’t about a payout. It’s always been about a payback. You are telling me your mystery client never wanted a check. No more games. Ms. Peterson, tell me who the hell your client is. Who wants to hurt me in my family? Tell us me. Write this second, or one of us is gonna leave this room in a whole world of.

There is no client. The person who wants payback is me.

Why Belinda? Why are you so hell bent on punishing my client? Why? Why do you let your personal feelings or your need to be vindicated or whatever? Why do you let that prejudice? You like this, to prejudice me? Are you insinuating that I’m in breach of my professional obligations? Have you not let it sink in that I have incontrovertible evidence that this woman committed murder and got away with it, but you don’t.

You know damn well that no evidence is incontrovertible. You know what else I. Is it you are just prolonging the inevitable because Ms. Dupree is going down and so is her mother. This is all so crazy. They’re saying you killed someone. I know you Dupree. I know you better than anyone. There is no way that you could do anything like that.

No way.

I am sorry. I’m so, so sorry, but you’re wrong. I did kill someone.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Are you nearly done? You’ve about worn out that carpet. Well, we can certainly afford to replace it. Now that you’ve decided not to pay for your mother’s ransom, would you calm down? I’ve told you I’m handling this well, of course you’re handling it by comedian. A major felony of your own

trip’s gonna be, okay, Ava, I’m gonna bring him back. Safe. Promise me Steve Promise. I promise I’m gonna bring him home. Safe and sound

Dam. Eva, why aren’t you answering my calls? I’ve tried being patient, but obviously you had no plan B when Egypt didn’t pay up right way to get some mother back. I’ve had some uh, Complications on my end. So you need to wrap this up right now. I’ll not my wife, find out what I’ve done for you

pregnant. Are you sure? That is what the test indicates, but it’s not possible. Are you not sexually? We are, but we use birth control well, um, as you know, birth control isn’t a hundred percent effective.

I assumed this is a complication

you wanna be with.

When I asked you that a few hours ago, you adamantly denied it. I know. I know. Wife, and I’m so sorry. Why did you marry me? Because I loved you

tense.

I still have feelings for you. You’re a wonderful man, right? Oh, don’t just, don’t you stop. Stop humoring me. Okay? Just tell me the damn truth.

When you realized that you could have Eric back, you regretted getting involved with me, didn’t you?

I was just.

A substitute for your real love

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

I feel terrible. You don’t deserve this. You were so good to me. Oh, oh, stop. Just stop it, right? I don’t need you feeling sorry for me. You’re trying to absolve your feelings of guilt by telling me how good I was to you or whatever. I don’t give a damn about that anymore. Okay? I just, I just want the truth.

I understand. Okay. Okay, good.

You told me just a few hours ago you didn’t have any feelings for Eric. Yeah. I mean, you swore to it. In fact, as I recall, and I meant it at the time I did it, is just that things changed. Apparently everything changed. You honestly expect me to believe that you just had these feelings now since the last time I’ve seen you a couple hours ago.

No. Now these feelings, Eric, they’re not new. They didn’t just dawn on you. No, they didn’t. No. Okay, so we got married in June.

When you stood in front of me and you looked me in the eye, you promised to have hold and cherish me. Did you wanna be with Eric then?

No. No. Oh no. It was before we even sat our vow, wasn’t it? It was the moment that he came back into town.

No, be fun. When we, when Eric came back into town, I was, I was confused and I was infected in ways that I, I just didn’t expect. But, but when I looked in your eyes and I. My vows. I wanted to be with you. I wanted to be with you forever, so please, please don’t erase that. Why not? You just did.

He just told you, I don’t give a damn what you just told me. I wasn’t the one and you knew it. Hell,

please forget that I said that. I’m so. That is none of my business. I’m going to let you talk. Is there any chance that the test could be wrong? Uh, stupid question. I know these tests are very, very accurate. No, not, not a stupid question. Um, yes, they are very accurate, but I would be happy to run it for you again.

Just let me know. Okay? I am gonna let you two talk.

I dunno where to start, even know what to say.

Me neither. If only this. A happy surprise, but those seem to be in very rare supply these days, unlike unhappy ones.

Ah, Kayla, I thought you were working late. Obviously Steve is just comforting me. It’s okay, Ava. I am not. But I do wonder why you’re here. Tripp told us that you were moving to Seattle because of, uh, some problem you were having with ej. Yeah. Well, EJ doesn’t get to tell me what to do or where to go. End of story.

You call kidnapping Trip Johnson a felony. I call it a solid defensive maneuver. Tony, Eva put me in a corner when she took my mother. What else was I supposed. You pay the ransom , please don’t be in a standoff with this woman. She’s unpredictable and dangerous. Swallow your pride and just why the funds, Tony, me, you need to trust me on this.

I have no doubt whatsoever that my mother is safer because of what I’ve done. Not the opposite.

Bad day.

I didn’t see you there. That’s my surprise. I mean, given the way you barged in here and made a beeline for the bar, it’s obvious that you needed that drink. Just unwinding. What are you doing here? Chris was shopping. No, I’m working. Actually, today’s my first day at the Spectator. Hell of a start too.

You know, Paulina Price gets elected and her daughter gets arrested. Chanel was arrested for Madda. Yeah. You really don’t know the whole body town’s buzzing over it. Ah, I’ve been busy. I my first day of work too. Oh, so you were finally gainfully employed, are you? I am indeed. Well, don’t leave me in suspense.

Tell me everything.

Sounds like it’s a big problem with ej. Nope. Why are we even talking about that jerk? Just forget him. I said, I would help you, Ava, but I’m not gonna keep my wife in the dark. Keep me in the dark about. You know, and Steve’s gonna have to explain it. I’ve gotta take care of something.

I’m counting on you. I’ll keep you posted.

What’s going.

Trips been kidnapped.

I have a’s son, that’s checkmates. As soon as she will realize this and it will all be over. You seem awfully confident, don’t you. Now tell me how the negotiation’s been since you sent Ava a photo of trip being held at some point as she bombard with calls, a flurry of texts. No, I didn’t think so. She went ready, silent, didn’t she?

Give her time? A mother who’s desperate to save her son doesn’t need time. She replies immediately by saying she’ll do anything she can to get him back. She’s just trying to prove that she’s tough. Oh. Or she’s trying to give you a hint that she cares more about the money than she does the welfare of her son.

Hey, I know you think you have the winning move here, but it’s possible that what you’ve done, it’s brought you that much closer to losing your mother.

So the company’s called redneck, eh? Yes. A pharmaceutical startup. Right. Okay. That’s very exciting. Our job’s a job, right? And I needed the money buried under a mountain of debt from the Salem in as well. You know, isn’t your wife a doctor? Sarah’s still on probation and reduced salary on five bills to pay.

You know, it’s funny. In all the time we were together, I never remembered. You mentioning being interested in pharmaceuticals and, um, don’t companies like that hire people who are experienced in the field? Not necessarily. I mean, they, like you say, I had tons of potential and you know, I’m a hard worker and that’s an experienced con artist now what’s that supposed to mean?

It’s just that. While we’ve been sitting here, I’ve been discreetly scouring the internet for this so-called company and, um, can’t find a thing. Nothing. It’s almost as if it doesn’t exist. It’s brand new, a startup. So, I mean, there should be some sort of mention of it if it’s startup or not even a bare bones website.

But there isn’t. Just tell me. Why are you lying about your job?

Sorry. Fuck. I wanna be honest with you, but it’s, it’s complicated.

Well give it your best shot.

When I accepted your proposal, I wanted more than anything to be your wife. But,

but, but that was before I knew Eric left the priesthood,

so I was right.

I was right. You, uh, you regretted getting engaged. Pretty much from the moment I put that ring on your finger.

So our marriage was a farce from the beginning.

You got another unhappy surprise today. Is that what you’re saying? To me? Finding out that I’m pregnant is the last thing I expected.

This is the timing that’s really hitting me. The timing.

Can we please not pretend, I saw you about an hour ago, Eric, kissing your ex-wife.

You saw I went to Basic black looking for you, and there you were locked in what looked like a very passionate kiss with Nicole.

I guess shooting that magazine cover. Really stir up some old feelings for you.

Were you planning to tell me? Yes, yes. I was planning on telling you, and then Rave called to tell you I fainted, and now we know why.

Look, it’s been very obvious to me for a while now that Nicole has very strong feelings. But it wasn’t until today, until I saw the two of you kissing until I can see the look in your eye that you have right now that your feelings for her are just as strong. She just didn’t admit it. You want to be with Nicole despite.

Despite her marriage.

Call it what you want.

I will not call our marriage a farce. I loved you on our wedding day, and I still love you now. Just not enough.

You remember, do you remember we had a fight few weeks ago and I passed you? If you rushed into marrying me cause you were afraid of the feelings that you have for Eric because you said No,

it wasn’t. Was

and I were over for a long time and I, I felt neglected by him. And he felt guilty for not putting me first. We were never in sync. But you were in love, right? You were in love. That’s the point that I’m trying to make.

You were just tough. You just using me. You loved him. So I was convenient way for you to get over that. I was Your escape wasn’t I, wasn’t I to?

Okay.

I admit it. It’s made fun.

I’m so sorry.

Two minutes on a laptop and you’re convinced I’m lying. Deny it me once. And I know you, there’s a reason why you are knocking back all those drinks. You’ve had a stressful day. Hmm. Right. Here’s how I think your day is going. You need a job. Yeah. But, um, there isn’t really a job out there for a man with your very special, unique talents and the pressure is on because you have to provide for the new.

And, uh, you can’t let her carry the load on her own. Cuz that would be quite, um, humiliating, especially since all the other kayakers men are doing a fine cracking job at it. Yeah. So you put on that very nice suit and you tell the Mrs you are off to start your new job and then you pop out two wild away the hours at a coffee shop or a pub perhaps to make it look like you’re putting in eight.

Of work until you go home. Am I close? You think you’re so damn clever, Gwen, you can be further off base. I am working. Problem is the job that I took is just a wee bit illegal.

Travis been kidnapped. Ava came over here to tell me that, oh dear God, all we have to go on so far is that photo, which was taken a couple of hours ago, and what appears to be his apartment. So my guess is he’s not far from there. I’m so sorry. I mean, who would wanna do this? Who, who? I mean, what could they possibly want from trip?

I don’t know, but I know who’s behind it. E. You think EJ kidnapped? Your son looks that way. Oh, that son of a bitch. I’ll kill him myself. Favor, I’m concerned I haven’t heard back since I text you. My latest negotiating starts. Surely we can get these talks going again since we each have something the other wants.

It’s not in your best interest to ignore. Fine. I won’t. Oh, you are gonna wish you had just paid up a miserable son of a bitch.

Where’s my mother? Where’s my son? You lost your advantage when you kidnap. Now I’ve got as much on you as you’ve got on me hotly. Ooh, look at that. I make you nervous. You’re not used to that. Are you squaring off with someone when the odds aren’t stacked in your favor?

You have met your match and it scares the hell.

Play. Wait, Kayla, listen. Listen. When I heard about this, my first instinct was to confront ej, but that’s not the smart move. Not when trip’s. Safety is our priority. I don’t understand why EJ would do this. He threatened Ava to get her to leave Salem when she came back. I guess this is his way of making good on the threat.

What about Joey? Was he at the apartment when they came and took Trip? Joe’s fine. I talked to him. Apparently they covered their bases by getting trip to call Joe and tell him he went camping. But I think we should keep Joe thinking that, at least for now. I still don’t get it. Why would EJ involve trip in this if this problem is really with Ava?

I think there is something that she’s not telling you.

You wasn’t working for Ava and she had you turn, fuck. Well, at least I know where she went now, after I turned her down, she turned up when I was in hospital, she wanted me to get revenge on ej.

Didn’t expect to see you here or you. Sandra and I just bumped into each other. Yeah, after you were called into work, Victor and Maggie’s dinner fell apart and I didn’t feel like calling it at night yet. So popped in here for a drink and Zander has been filling me in on his new job. Fascinating. I’m sure there’s lots of things he hasn’t even told you about.

I never intended on keeping the truth from you.

The truth is, is I’ve been in denial about my feelings for Nicole for a while. A while is in the entire time we’ve been together. Jada, I honestly believe that Nicole and I were done. No matter what I was feeling, she was married to somebody else and I kept telling myself that I needed to accept it and move on with my life.

And that’s when you got involved with me, I think. I think you’re an incredible woman. I’m not incredible enough to make you forget.

I honestly thought I could go into a new relationship and genuinely give the best of who I am myself, no matter what I felt for Nicole, but I couldn’t. I’m sorry.

Get out.

I said.

That had to hurt because it really hurts saying it, oh enough. Walk away. Just go, no, I’m not gonna walk away. Until you understand that I loved you enough to marry you. I swear, Rafe, I thought if I committed to you and I went all in to be the best wife that I could be for you, that it would end my feelings for Eric once and for all and be the beginning of a lifetime of loving you well.

Wow. Nice try.

Blame you for eating me or you wanna cut me out of your life forever. But I want you to know, and when I said my vows to you, I meant every word and I wanted them to be the last vows that I’d ever said, oh, come on. That’s, if, that’s just when, if wedding vows ever meant anything to you.

That is not fair. Ra. Oh, sure it is. Marriage is just a game to you. No, that is not true. Well, I think that Victor and Lucas would disagree. EJ would disagree twice. Oh, please, RA, don’t do this. What am I doing? Huh? I’m just telling it like it is. I mean, you are who you are. Nicole. I mean, you, you, you even cheated on Eric.

The love of your life was Xander of all people. Why don’t you stop? No, I’m not gonna stop now, baby, cuz I’m on a roll. And while we’re here, why don’t you, why don’t you actually tell me how long you’ve been cheating on me with Eric? I haven’t been cheating.

Yes, Eric and I kissed today, but. It, it just happened. It wasn’t planned. You and I had a fight and Eric and I, we were, we, we were just in the moment. It’s all right. Well, you did what you’ve wanted to do for months now what happened next? Huh? Guessing that led to the conference table? No. No. We stopped right away and we talked.

Did you, what You guys talk about what you wanted each other? Even though, uh, Eric’s got a girlfriend and you have a husband, we acknowledged our feelings for each other and then what we’ve been suppressing for all these months now, God, that’s cuz uh, what’d you guys do next? Did you come up with a plan?

Plan, how you were. Break up with me and Jada as quick as possible so you can get back to your, your feelings.

Well, you got what you wanted, Nicole, and clearly in the end, that’s all that matters to you.

Honestly, I was quite surprised. To hear about the work that Zander’s doing? Quite shocked, actually. Shocked. Oh, why? Well, you know, pharmaceuticals not really something I thought that Zander was ever interested in. And, um, I didn’t even know that he was qualified to work in that, um, particular field, but, All know how very smart Zander is and what a good work ethic he has.

So, um, I think that they are very lucky to have him. Don’t you think? Yeah. I’m very proud of him

hospital and they might need me to come back

for a second there. I thought that you were, tell her. Why didn’t you

honor amongst thieves, I suppose,

and look, despite everything that’s happened, I still care about you thunder, as much as I would just love to boss you and Sarah up. Um, I don’t have it in me to hurt you like that.

Well, thanks. I guess,

so you are free to go about with Ava’s bidding, but as somebody who’s been there and dodged that bullet, All I can say is, well, best of British luck to you.

I’m sure Ava’s holding something back, but she didn’t admit it. Well, we can deal with that later. Right now, trip comes first. I’m gonna get on the first flight to Seattle. Well, you better make sure that there’s two seats because I’m coming with you. Oh, no you’re not. Oh, yes I am. You are not going up against EJ alone.

Wake up, Ava, your lost chance. Give me back my mother. Cause you don’t wanna find out what happens if you say no. All right. Well, you give me back my son first. And then we’ll discuss what it’s gonna cost you to get Susan back. I’m not gonna be strong armed by a piece of trash. Oh. Oh, I see. So you can threaten me, bully me.

Leave me homeless. John, you committed fraud. You used my son. And if not for my extraordinary compassion, you be in prison right now. You conniving Ingrid. Oh, watch it. Ej. You piss me. I’m gonna have to call my associate and tell him to put a bullet in your mother’s head.

Stop. Pastor, you’re lucky. You are lucky. You’re lucky that my father is here. Otherwise, you would’ve wound up in the Crip next to your fake husband.

Sweetness. EJ being behind. This isn’t a reason to come with me. It’s why you should stay home and let you fly solo while I sit here and stare at my phone. Not a chance. No. I’m gonna call John. I’m not gonna do it alone. I’m gonna get Black patch. On the case? No, you cannot put him on the spot like that.

Marlena just got out of the hospital and he needs to be with her. You know, you tell him about Tripp and he is not gonna be able to turn you down. Listen, I don’t even know what I’m walking into. I’m not gonna put you at risk. Have you already forgotten who came to the rescue in Hong Kong when somebody I know.

Was brainwashed, baby. You just got out of the hospital yourself. And I am perfectly fine now and I am not gonna stay behind while my stepson is in grave danger. I love that boy with all my heart. And if you are walking into danger to save his life, I am going to be there to have your back. Yes. There’s no arguing with you.

No, there is not. And let’s come back.

Go find Nicole. I’ll be fine. We haven’t even talked about, I don’t know what I’m going to do about this pregnancy, but don’t worry about it, Eric. It’s not your problem. Not my problem. Jada. I, I care about you in this pregnancy. We need to figure this. What’s there to figure out? You told me who you want to be with.

There’s nothing else to say. Listen, if you’re trying to give me an easy way out, I don’t want it. We need to make decisions together about this baby. All right? And I want to be here for you. I’m not just gonna walk away.

Five, but we’re not gonna come up with any answers tonight.

I’m exhausted. I need to close my eyes and regroup. So please listen to me when I tell you I need you to go.

You, Schumer. I’m.

I should give this back.

I shouldn’t have accepted your ring or your love.

I didn’t deserve it, and I, I didn’t deserve you.

You deserve someone who’s worthy of you, and it’s, it’s not me.

I did everything wrong in this marriage. And you did everything right?

Yeah, except that it wasn’t Eric.

Oh, Erica. Hey. Hey. Are you okay?

I was just with re Oh God. I told him everything. It was awful. I’m sorry. It’s done. So, um, how’s Jada?

Shit? Jada’s pregnant.

Okay. We make this flight. We’ll be in Seattle in five hours. Ah, what about Stephanie? She’s gonna wonder why we dis. Uh, with all that mess with Paul, and this is the last thing she needs to worry about right now. Well, I’ll call her and tell her that we’ve got outta town for a couple days. Okay? We’ll tell Joe and Stephanie everything after we rescue trip.

Come on,

leave, go assess your options. Soon you realize you’re loud. Now get out. Okay. But I’d start getting my money together if I were you. I am running out of patience. But worse comes to worse. I can always send you a lock of Susan’s sayer. Say you have something to remember. Bye. Do you want no idea who you’re with?

No.

This has gotta announce. Spare me the lecture. What lecture? I’m trying to help you face reality. Dammit. Don’t you understand that she’s unbalanced. Pay her off before something happens that you can’t control.

Do they need you to come back in? Nope. I’m good. Wonderful. I’ll, I’ll get you a drinking. No, no. I was, um, I was thinking that we could go to Julie’s place for a late night dinner and you can tell me all about your first day and maybe we can discuss a new living situation. . Let’s get Cody

cool at Call me if you’d like to talk, talk about. Um, yeah, well I’m working at the Spectator now and, um, I said to Zander that I would write a piece about the company he’s working for cuz startups need all the publicity they can get. Right. Consider it, consider it my way of making amends. They, thanks, thanks.

But, uh, that won’t be necessary.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Bonnie went to the shed. Yeah. No, I mean that’s right. We were talking about centerpieces and she said the garden shed. I back. That’s right. What the hell is she doing down there?

Who are you and what are you doing here? I know who you are. You’re, you’re Susan Banks. Oh my God, honey. Who?

A brother with a gun to his head.

Oh, sweetness. Come on. Haven’t we established that I can fend for myself when you’re working late? Yeah, well, I stopped by the pub, had a bullet chatter with your brother and uh, then he insisted on telling me all about his new fly fishing rod. No, I’m not getting any ideas. Okay, listen, I’m just gonna have one beer and head home, so don’t work too hard.

Yeah, I love you.

Hey buddy, haven’t seen you in a long time. Hey, do you mind if I join you? Well, I don’t think I’d be great company. Oh, what’s going on? Nothing good.

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

God, honey, did this to you.

Oh. Oh my goodness. How Kiki did you come back from the dead to save Me? Oh, no, honey. Oh wow. Lord Sent Heavenly me. You. Oh, hardly. I’m Bonnie Kikis. Oh, you Justin Sch new wife. Yeah, that’s, oh my God. Definitely has a specific time. Doesn’t name show. If the Lord didn’t send you, then who did? Coincidence came down for a couple of planters.

Well, I mean, there is no coincidence. It’s the Lord and he’s working in mysterious ways. Okay, speaking of mysterious ways, honey. Who did this to you?

Come on. Trip. Trip. Pick up. Damn it. It went straight to voicemail. I guess EJ wasn’t kidding with that photo. Yeah. Well, he’s gonna find out that he messed with the wrong Vitali. Do you really think EJ is gonna pick up? You know what? It doesn’t matter.

Ej, listen, you son of a bitch, you lay one finger on my son and I will kill you. Well, it’s nice to see that you care about the health and welfare of one of your sons. Really, really? Whining right now. I mean, EJ Damara could kill trip and it’s still, mommy loved him best. Huh? What is something funny? No, I just, I think EJ definitely bested you and you can’t say that you didn’t have it coming,

buddy. Listen, are you sure you’re not just jumping the gun here? I mean, so Eric took pictures of Nicole. That’s work. That doesn’t necessarily mean there’s anything going on, but there is. There is. Look, it’s not just the photo shoots. Okay. Yeah. Ever since Eric came back into town, there’s been this, so Paul, between he and Nicole, are you sure you’re not just being possessive?

I know dudes can do that sometimes, so I’ve. Look, I keep finding them in each other’s arms and there’s always an excuse, but after a while, you know, well, I understand why it’s not exactly ideal for your wife to be working with her ex, but that doesn’t necessarily mean those, uh, explanations aren’t true. I mean, they’re still friends, right?

Good friends, Steve, I believe. But they were always and will continue to be more than friends. Okay. They were divorced, it was messy. Eric took off, he came back, and then Nicole hired him so they can work together, be together, cuz um, they never stopped loving each.

What are we doing? What we’ve been wanting to do for months?

Looks like your precious trip isn’t getting out of this anytime soon.

EJ doesn’t waste any time, does he? I have to call Zander. You don’t wanna do that. Trust me. Would anyone, uh, like a drink Bob? Waiting for Bonnie? I can murder a beer.

What now? Ah, sorry. I got a text. Dam it. This is something emergency at the office and gonna have to call in. I’m so sorry. An emergency. It’s this hour of the. At a pharmaceutical startup, who knows what it could be, but it’s a good sign, right? That they need him

clown. Yeah. I mean, you don’t see that very often, do you? Do you mean like a clown? Like some kind of joker? No, I don’t mean a clown. Like some kind of a joker. I mean a clown with a red nose and a shelter bottle only. He didn’t have a shelter bottle because he needed to tie me up cuz you wanna need his hands free.

Um, But honey, it wasn’t a real clown. Yeah, he just said he was, he’s a man dressed up as a clown. He was in disguise so that I wouldn’t be able to tell who the kidnapper was. Okay. Why would someone wanna kidnap you? You know what? I just don’t know. I don’t, but you know what? The man, the clown, the man dressed up as a clown.

Well, he has a Bosh co name, the Ring mesh. You heard the cold? No, no, I made it up. I’m very creative and being tied up because really boring. So could you just tell me where we are in Keri’s Garden? She, why are you here at the garden? Chicago Nu. I came down to get a couple of lanterns from Maggie and Victor’s 11th anniversary.

Oh, that my, I gotta tell you, wherever this club was, he sure as hell know how to tie a mouth. Thanks for the compliment.

So this pull between them, have you spoken to Nicole about it? Yeah, the knife. And what’d she say? She denied it. But you don’t believe her like that, Steve, that’s not the point. She doesn’t want to admit it to herself, let alone to me she, she doesn’t want to feel this way. She just, Dude, I know it’s hard, but maybe you just need to trust her.

That’s good advice. Yeah, exactly what I said to Jada. All right, Jada. So does she think, um, Eric and Nicole are.

Well, she, uh, certainly gives every indication that she believes that. Yeah. Because every time she sees Eric and Nicole together, she finds a way to tell me all about it. So you think Jada is serious about Eric? I dunno, I don’t know that. Well, I think she thinks that it’s serious. Um, uh, she always talks about, uh, Eric being God’s gift to the world.

Pretty sure he feels that way. Wow. Well, Jada has a tough exterior, but she is still pretty young. She’s new to town. She’s got no. It’s got a new job, man. I hope this whole thing doesn’t end in end in tears. Yeah. All the way around. We, we haven’t been fighting this for months. We , we just lost our heads for a all.

I didn’t. I kissed you just now because I wanted to. That’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. I mean, every time I’ve seen you actually, and every time I fight it, it just gets stronger.

Eric, I want you, and from the way you kiss me, just.

I think you want me too, Nicole. We were once married. We’re always going to be attracted to one another. This is more than just an attraction. The way I feel about you now is the same way I felt when we got married and years before that. Can you honestly say we just lost our heads and there’s not a hell of a lot more to it.

You got married and you, you just got home from the courthouse and I was at your, your doorway. Do you remember? I remember

I was there because I wanted to tell you how I felt about.

Just after even Pauling his wedding, it just seemed like we should just talk. But that’s when I found out you and Rafa just got married, so my feelings didn’t really matter anymore. Wait, no, that, that’s, that’s not true. It’s fine. It’s just with briefing. I’m.

Fuck you and, and Jada. I mean, it’s a thing, but it it’s not what we have. She knows it. Believe me. She knows it. What are you saying to me? That’s your break with Jada and you break up with Raven. We just let the chips fall. They may. I mean, Jada and I, we haven’t, we haven’t made any promises or anything like that.

I mean, we’re getting to know each other really. But Nicole, you’re married. It matters That really matters.

Okay? Now, I’m not saying you’re right or you’re. But if you’re this jacked up about it, I think you need to tell Nicole how you’re feeling. I did. No, no. What I just heard you say was that you asked her how she’s feeling. What you need to do is tell her what you just told me. Okay. Not the advice I was expecting from you.

Well, I know Kayla and I have had more than our share of ups and downs over the years. And one thing I know is that you can’t solve a problem by ignoring it. Right? Yeah. Well, point taken. Point taken. Hmm. So can we change the subject? How about those cups? Yeah. Hey, Jed. Oh, fancy seeing you here. What? Well, I, I meant, uh, because you live here.

Oh, yeah. Great. Are you okay? Uh, actually, I, uh, I got some work things to go over with Rafe. Okay, well, I’ll leave you too. Hang in there buddy. All right. Okay. You.

So what’s going on?

Give that to me. Are you really gonna let EJ get away with this? You’re just gonna give up 20 million. I don’t care about the money. I only care about trip. Yeah, we know that. The important thing is EJ knows that, can’t you see? He’s bluffing. He’s not gonna hurt trip. This might be photoshopped for all we.

But if you give Susan up, you give up any leverage that you have. Okay? And then what am I supposed to do then? Nothing. Nothing. What if you are wrong? What if you are wrong? And EJ does hurt trip, mom. You are reacting like EJ wants you to react. He wants you emotional, not rational. This is my son we are talking about.

Yes. And because he’s your son, you’re e quivering mess. You kidnapped E J’s mother. Did he fall apart? No, he regrouped and he went straight for your Achilles heel. Because EJ is ruthless. That is what you need to be right now. We both know that you’re up to that particular task.

It’s up to you. Are you going to beat EJ at his own game or cave like a house of card?

You get away from her? I tell. I will say back. Sit that down. Stay back. Listen lady. You do not want me to lose my tender. If you don’t wanna be stirred like a male, hey, get outta here. Not gonna happen. How?

Xander has a very important new job. Sarah. Tell Mathusla, hear all about it. He’s an executive at redneck. Why would rednecks need an executive? No. Red Max. It’s a pharmaceutical startup and he’s in upper management in charge of the entire sales department. I, if it’s so major, why haven’t I heard of it?

So you kidnapping me now too. I bet your boss didn’t count on a two for one deal, did he or she? This isn’t gonna work, you know? Do me a favor.

Who did you decide to call someone who can make this all go away?

Steve Johnson. Steve Hit’s. I need to see you. It’s an emergency

Now you’re playing the game.

Something’s going on at the station. Uh, not exactly. Okay. But something’s bothering you. I just saw Nicole and Eric at Peace Black. Oh yeah. I know. I was there when he showed. You were there. Mm-hmm. . I went to talk to Nicole about the pictures you told me about, and um, turned into another big fight. I’m sorry.

Yeah. Turns out I was all ticked off about Nicole modeling four, Eric, but it only got better from there because I found out that Nicole was gonna be in pictures with Eric on the cover of Bella. You were kidding. No. No wonder you got in a big fight. Yeah. Um, I’m tired, so. Okay. Yeah. Well, obviously you feel the same way about this whole thing as Ivy Jada.

Hey, Jada. Jada. Hey Jada. Jay,

Bri and I have been fighting. So much lately, and I hate it. I hate it because I know the kind of man he is. He’s, he’s not jealous, he’s not possessive. He just wants to know the truth, and there’s part of him that knows that I’m keeping something from him. Oh, God.

And the last thing I wanna do is hurt him. And I love him. I do. And this, this should be a good marriage, but it’s not. It’s not because I, oh God. And he was so right about this. He was so right. I married him. I married him. Sorry, I could forget about. It is such a horrible thing to do to him, and I did it to a man and he deserves so much better.

No wonder if you wanted to forget about me. Look at the way I treated you when we were married. What kind of man would marry a woman like you and then run for the hills?

I live with so much regret. I’m sorry

we really screwed things up, didn’t we? All the pain

and after all that, I, I may still love you.

I always will. I think.

Eric, I just, I had to say this to you, but if you don’t wanna be with me,

it’ll hurt. Oh God. Will it hurt?

I’ll accept it.

But no matter what I, I need to end things with RA because it’s not fair to treat him like a consolation fries, because every time I look at him, all I can think about is being with you.

No, I house is away. I,

I know no one can hear me. It’s okay. It’s okay. Maggie knew I was coming down here. Sooner or later, someone’s gonna find us. Rednecks sounds made up to me. You’ve really never heard of it. How could he? It’s a startup. You know, 90% of all startups fail. Stop that right now. Not to worry. Most of those failures didn’t have Senator Cook in the key management.

You, uncle Victor, is your faith in me that keeps me going.

Happy anniversary, Maggie. Oh, thank you. Many, many, many. I’m gonna think that one over. So what was the emergency? All taken care of. Hmm. Oh, now, now it’s my turn. The hospital , yes, but the ER is really understaffed, so here a happy anniversary. Mom. Victor, I’m sorry. That’s okay. Don’t wait up. Well, I guess it’s just gonna be the four of us for dinner.

Maybe we should just call the whole thing off. No, no. You and Victor are gonna have dinner together and start to work out two differences. Let the healing begin and Bonnie and I will, what is keeping her? She should have been back by now. She’s been abducted by aliens. Well, I’m gonna go and look for her.

Thanks for seeing me. What’s going on? Trip told me EJ forced you to leave town. Yeah, well, I came back. I don’t like being pushed around. I never knew that about you. Okay. But EJ somehow found out that I broke the deal. So what’d he do? Threatened to send you to prison? Oh. It is much worse than that.

Son.

Should I go?

If I stay, you know what that means?

I think we both know what it means

and

it’s like you and 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,

Eric. This time we, you, no, we are not. You gotta screw it up, I promise. Yeah, let’s not.

It’s ra what?

Hey ra. What’s going on Eric? Listen. I’m at the hospital. You gotta get down here. It’s Jada.

Well, thanks Joe. Yeah. No, no, everything’s fine. I just want to check in with you. Love you too. All right.

Trip told Joe he was going camping. Yeah, right with a gun at his head.

All right. It looks like this picture was taken in his apartment in Seattle. I don’t think EJ would take it much further than that. Wait a minute, this doesn’t make sense. So EJ is mad at you for coming back to town. He kidnapped trip. That’s overkill and it’s way too risky. Hey, what’d you do, Ava? Nothing. I don’t believe you, but I don’t have time to drag it out of you.

Where are you going? Where do you think I’m gonna get EJ to release trip and then I’m gonna shove his teeth down his throat. Okay. No, Steve, you can’t do that, do you? You cannot go talk to him. You just can’t. Why the hell not Ava

have my phone? Wait. Damn it. Oh. God put some water in my pocket when that jerk grabbed me. Did you see my phone anywhere? Hey, come on. Where do I get food? Maybe Xander’s right? Maybe Bonnie did fall. I’m gonna go look for her. The hell you are. It’s dark out there. Xander. Why don’t you, uh, offer to go? I was just going to, I.

Oh, Maggie did, did I just hear your phone? I think maybe you got a text. What? Oh, oh, it’s from Bonnie. Something came up, uh, with Mimi. She’s on her way to Chicago. Happy anniversary. Oh, well. At least we know she’s all right. Ugh. Can’t breathe again. Los Xander looks like it’s just gonna be the three of us. Oh, absolutely not.

It’s your anniversary. You don’t need a third wheel. You wouldn’t be Sandra, please stay. Have a nice romantic dinner, Sarah, and I’ll be in touch soon. We’ll set something up. Sandra, wait. Um, fix her. Don’t you wanna congratulate Sander on his new job, or do you wanna spend the night in the garden shift?

Sander, congratulations on your new job. Don’t be so enthused. It was fine. Maggie. Heartwarming. Thank you Uncle Victor. Have a lovely dinner. I’ll walk you out. Huh?

At least you broke the ice. You did. Thanks for trying. Oh, he’ll come around and even if the evening it didn’t turn out as planned, things are starting to look up for you and Sarah.

Appreciate her. What happened? What’s wrong? Sarah’s examining her now. Uh, we were at the pub talking and she’s fainted. What room is she? Sarah? Hi. She, uh, well, she’s much better. She’s alert and talking. Okay. Why, why does she faint? I’m thinking it’s low blood sugar. She said she hadn’t eaten much today. Um, but we drew some blood, so we should have some.

Can I see her? Yeah. Yeah.

I told Cook there would only be two of us for dinner. You know, after all these years. I still get tickled when I say cook. There’ll just be two for dinner.

Oh, I think he was a little disappointed. I’m not. Hmm. I can tell. Well, so sue me if I went you old to myself on our anniversary, Barry, you was the best thing that ever happened to me. Then I think this would be a very good time for you to echo the sentiment. It would only go to your head, which is already swollen enough, , even if it is the truth.

You know what we are, Maggie? Mm-hmm. Lucky. Mm. Damn lucky. Yeah.

As soon as our son pays up, you’ll both be out of here. Hopefully there’ll be any moment. Now you’re not going to get away with this.

It’s so stupid of you to deal with the deras. You know what? And the Cga family is now gonna come after you. Your life. Stupid is gonna suck in more ways than you can imagine. How do you know about Mimi? You know me. You know me.

Why don’t you want me to talk to e j? Because he’s furious with me. You know how vindictive he is, and if he finds out that I told you, who knows what he is gonna do to Chad, what is it? You’re not telling me nothing. You’re a. Steve, what the hell? Does it matter why or how this happened? Please just go find trip.

Please. Look, our son, he is a good guy. He’s just like his father and he doesn’t deserve this, Steve. He doesn’t deserve it. Of course, I’m gonna find our son and I’m gonna bring him back. Thank you. Thank you.

It’s easy for you to say, Mr. Clown I, you’re not the one just tied up and sitting around with a bunch of gardening tools in horse manure. I do apologize for the setting. Why are you doing this? Mc clowns, you are supposed to bring Hess and joy, not fear and child you to be ashamed of yourself.

Thank you. There you go. . So tell me about Xander’s new job. Well, he was hired by a pharmaceutical startup called, uh, rednecks full-time. Mm-hmm. . Yes. I’m very proud of him. He worked really hard to get this job. Good friend him. Yeah. If I’m being honest, we really need the money. I didn’t realize things were.

Well, Xander racked up quite the bill at the Salem in, and I’m still only working part-time at the hospital until they can confirm that I am no longer suffering from what Kristen did to me. Hey, I’m sorry that things been tough. Oh no. It’s okay. Xander and I are in this together, so we will land on our feet.

How was it? You mean seeing and Rachel? Yeah. Uh, truthfully, I don’t think I’m ever gonna recover from losing her. I know what you’re thinking. It’s hard for me too. Yeah. And also, The Alexander to blame for it. Am I right? Yeah, yeah. You are.

Sushi delivery . Hi. Hey, you. I figured you’d be working through dinner, so I thought you might like some raw fish and maybe some company. Yes, please. Both counts. Come on, . So how was your night? Oh man. Pretty much craziness. Ever since the election. Why? What’s going on? You didn’t hear? No, I mean I’ve, I’ve been swamped mostly approving marketing copy for our upcoming collection.

Right. Yeah. Yeah. That and your, your new role, what do you mean? I mean, I heard your moonlighting is Arab’s top model.

Fuck. Hey York,

have you heard about Paulina Price? Yes. She got elected governor and I’d like to thank my vote. Helped. Mm-hmm. , that’s the old news I’m talking about after the election. What do you mean? Maggie? Her daughter got arrested for murder, knowing that, I don’t understand. Lonnie was arrested last summer for murder?

No, no, no. Not Lonnie, the other daughter. Shut down. Yes, that’s the murder. Oh, how awful. And on the night her mother was elected governor. Oh, Helena must be just beside herself. It’s mother’s worst nightmare. Let me tell you. I, I’m. Xander, he’s your husband now, not to mention I’m the one who encouraged you to forgive him after switching those babies.

Yeah, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still be angry with him. That would make me a hypocrite. Don’t you think that would make you human, painfully human? What? Sandra did hurt us both very deeply. I didn’t think I was ever gonna be able to get. I’m glad you did, for your sake. Well, you’re the reason that I was able to let go of that pain and anger.

You helped me see the kind of man that Vander’s capable of being a good and decent man and that I am very proud to call my husband.

Are you proud of your chef, Mr. Cloud? Hmm? You proud of your. What, why are you doing this to me? What? What? What’s in it for you? Huh? Ask for me. Are you a man or are you a clown?

EJ again, no Alexander. The answer is call either. All these men keep trying to tell you what to do. Yeah. Including you. I make my own decisions. Hello? What took you so long to answer. Will you relax? Relax. It’s easy for you to save. How much long do I have to hold onto her? Just a little while longer. And how long is a little while?

The woman is scared and hungry. Okay. So I feed her, I tried that. All she wants is catfish nuggets. Well, that’s not my problem, actually. Is your problem, Ava? You said this would be quick and easy. You get the money We give her back. No harm, no foul. Okay. That’s still the plan. Just calm. Stay the course. Stop trying to handle me, Eva.

I have a life, a future, and if you don’t finish this, I will. Oh wait. Hey, hey. What does that mean? It means get me my money or I’ll let Susan Banks go. Okay. Listen, Zander. Zander.

My mother, she tried to warn me that someone was after me, but I thought, I thought it was Johnny John. Why would Johnny be after you? He was very angry when I sent a away. Oh. And apparently she’s even angrier because I exposed her for the fraud. She really is. Ever since I proved that she wasn’t actually married to our late brother, she’s been lying and.

Get her revenge and she’s using your mother to exact it. I should have locked up that mongrel when I had the chance, put her ass in Statesville, and now my poor mother is the one paying the price.

Okay. You’re upset that I got pulled into that Bella photo shoot. I, I just would’ve liked to have heard about it from you and not one of my detectives. One of your detectives who happens to be dating Eric? No agenda there. Okay. Okay. Listen to me. Jada did not do anything wrong. This, this is just another example of a lack of communication between you and me, honey.

I was gonna tell you. Okay. Why didn’t you? Well, because it, it just happened. Something came up with one of the models that we hired, and so Alex Kakkis asked me to step in. Mm-hmm. and, and, but you’re absolutely right. I should have told you first thing and now,

Now there is something that I want you to hear from me. Okay. Actually, something that I wanna show you.

What. Why? Why am I looking at a photo of my wife draped all over her ex-husband? Like I said, this was Alex’s idea, and at first it was supposed to be a. Brady and me, and then he thought it would be better if it was Eric. Why? Why would it be better? Well, because according to Alex, I didn’t have any chemistry with Brady.

Oh, that is great. Great. So you and Eric, you guys are just crackling with it, huh? No, I mean, it’s all subjective, right? Who has chemistry? Who doesn’t? But Alex side, didn’t he? Great? Of course he did. You know what? Because everyone in this damn town is seen. So why don’t you, why don’t you just stop trying to hide from me the fact that you and.

Still have feelings for each other.

You know? You are kind of an inspiration. I am. Yeah. You’re an example of forgiveness, perseverance. I mean, after everything you and Xander have gone through, you’ve never stopped loving him. Well, except for when it wasn’t me. That doesn’t count. . Well, thank you for ruling on that. Mm-hmm. . What about you? What about me, son?

I know how long it took for you to get over. Nicole, how’s it going with Jada? It’s early. Mm-hmm. . I like being around her. I think she would say the same thing about me. Mm. Well, well see. That’s pretty important. Enjoying your partner’s company can come in handy if you’re ever, I don’t know. Sharing a roach infested hotel room, huh?

Hmm. , nothing. Nevermind. Listen, I must admit, I still have a little anger towards Sander, even though I’m working very hard. If I’m forgiveness for him. I appreciate that. I’m spent a lifetime preaching forgiveness, telling people that it’s not a one-time thing. It’s a, it’s a continuing process. Well, If it’s any help, I can promise that Xander is truly changed.

He’s not the same man that let us believe in other couple’s baby belonged to us. I know that he will never do something that terrible again. Good news, you should be going home soon. Oh, thank the Lord for small favors. Oh, did you get in touch with my Elvis? Is he gonna send a cowry after? You didn’t concern yourself with the details.

Yeah. I just have to ask you one thing, Mr. Clam, how do you live with yourself? I bet your mom was just so disappointed in you. My mother is a drunken train wreck, so I really don’t give a damn what she thinks. Sure. And there’s gotta be showing that matters to you. You got a wife, I mean, how does she feel about her man being a dirty, low down kidnapper?

I can’t believe that Xander is making Sarah move to a Fleabag hotel because Victor called him a loser. Uh, he’s a proud man . Proud Schmid. Victor’s mean to me all the time. And I put up with cranky mats because, hello? The amenities here. Hello? Yeah. Well, you know how stubborn teriyaki man can be. Well, do I ever, I’ll tell you.

Victor and Justin had an hour long stare down over which movie to watch on Peacock

I’m sorry, Maggie, I, I shouldn’t be bragging on your husband. You know, I just think he’s a hoop. No, it’s okay. I know you put up with a lot from him. Do you know it’s my anniversary time. Oh, honey. Really? Yeah, I married Victor 11 years ago to the day, Maggie. Yeah. Congratulations. Are you, gosh, what are you guys doing to celebrate?

Oh, just Victor and I were just gonna just, just be together if, were you not doing anything with family? Well, I can’t, I can’t see my daughter. Or my son-in-law because of Xander’s, ridiculous. Qui with Victor. That’s not right. No, no, no, no, no. Those two need to make a move on. Well, they can’t because they won’t even talk to each other.

You know what, mag pie, I think you should let Bon Bon handle this one. Well, that’s very sweet of you to care so much, but

do you really think you can fix this? I know I can. I’ll get this family back on track. You just watch and see

has this vital woman, she made a ransom demand. Ah, no idea. She told me to await further. Ah, she’s tying with you. You know, we should get the police involved. I don’t think that’s a good idea. Tommy, listen, I’m aware that you hate Ray Fernandez, but if we could use the department’s resources, I’m sure that he’d be more than willing to help, especially after what Ava did to him.

Maybe you are right. Perhaps I should bring Reef into this

is my mother. All right. Oh, well. Hello to you too, ej. Yeah, she’s fine for now. You ready to hear my demands?

Why the hell is it taking you so long to get back to me? Oh, I would watch my tone if I were you. Well that is if you ever want your kids to see their southern FRA granny again, I swear to you, if you do anything to harm my mother, there will be no safe place on a FU to hide from me. AJ wanna antagonize her.

The hell I don’t. You realize you’re in no position to make any threats. We are the ones making the threats. I’m the one calling the shots. Just tell me what you want. I thought you’d never. Well, in exchange for the safe return of your mother, you are going to give me 20 million.

Oh. You do have a wife. I didn’t say that. Oh, you didn’t have to. I know things. Oh yeah. I was warned. You’re psychic . I am . Did you make you nervous? I believe in all that nonsense. Oh, I assure you missed a clown. It most certainly is not non. You see, the universe has blessed me with the gift of Second Son, and that’s how you knew I was married.

Now tell me you’re wearing your wedding ring.

The one and only. Is everything okay with Mom and Victor? Well, um, not exactly what, uh, what’s wrong? Well, honey, I hate to be the bear of bad news, but your mom is in a right state. Did she say why? Well, you do know today is your mom on Victor’s wedding anniversary, right? Oh my God, I totally forgot. Yeah.

Well I figured with all the fussing and fighting between Xander and Victor that it had well, slept your mind. She told you about that. Well, honey, we live in the same house. It’s . Kinda hard to miss. Um, but tonight you and Victor and Xander are all gonna put that behind you. Okay, you’re gonna grab your hunky husband and you’re gonna come up here to the mansion for dinner.

Oh, well, I was, um, just about to order dinner for one at the pub and, and Xander’s working late. Honey, you could have Roman Brady’s warmed up chowder any day tonight. You and Zander are dining with family. It is high time to carry out this plant gathered under one roof, and your mother and Victor’s anniversary is the perfect time to do it.

Okay? Okay. Got it. Good. See you later. Bye-Bye.

Hey, do you decide what you want? Um, well, uh, change of. Looks like I’m going to be playing referee all night, honey. It was just a photo shoot. I know what it was. Nicole, I’m not sure you do. I, I mean, you’re assuming that Eric and I wanted to be on the cover together, which we did not. And like I said, this was Alex’s idea.

He insisted, why are you looking at me like. Because I wish that you would respect me enough to stop trying to gaslight me. What? Stop. I wouldn’t do that. You’re acting like I am not seeing what is right in front of me. Could you just listen to me? Please? Please. Okay. Eric and I were told to. Act like we were attracted to each other, and that’s what we did.

Modeling is acting. I was playing a role, honey, what you are seeing here is just pictures. That’s it. Picture, yeah. Pictures. Pictures, yeah. Pictures of my wife looking like she wants to tear the clothes off of R’s husband.

Look, I, I knew doing the photo shoot was a bad idea. I should have trusted my instinct.

Why didn’t you?

Because. Alex wouldn’t take no for an answer, and I got caught up in the excitement of modeling. Again. You know what this, this isn’t even about the pictures.

It’s about us. Our marriage,

this stupid photo shoots just forces us to face the real issue.

There’s no issue.

I need you to be honest with me.

I need you to be honest with yourself.

This thing between you and Harry never really went away, did it?

How many times do I have to tell you, Eric is in my past? You are my present and my future. I have a husband and Eric has a girlfriend, and there’s, there’s nothing romantic between us anymore. I mean, we’re friends. Yes, we work together. Yes, but that’s it. End of story.

I hear you, bud, about what?

But it sounds to me like you’re not just trying to convince me. You’re trying to convince yourself.

Oh, oh good. Maggie. Um, do you like salmon or the uh, uh, that fish I can never remember the name of. Quick wants to know what I mean. You know what? Nevermind. We’ll have salmon. Okay. What is this all about? Well, it’s about the dinner party that I am throwing in honor of your. Really? Yes. Really the dinner party to which Zander and Sarah will be attending.

Really? Yes. They’re great to call me. Yes. I told you I could pull it off. it. Oh, that’s wonderful. You really are a miracle worker, Bonnie Honey. I do do it. Well, I know sweat. I mean, I just told Sarah that it was important to you and she agreed that the occasion was very important, so she’ll talk Sandra into it.

Oh, you really are a miracle. I’m so impressed. . So is Justin attending? Um, well, unfortunately, no. He is in Arizona visiting the twins. But on the bright side, when Sandra and Victor are reunited, they will give this family so much more to celebrate. We’re all back together again. Right. Oh, well, let’s just hope the boys behave themselves tonight.

didn’t worry about a thing. I have hugged tied my sheriff or Barcos in my day. . Okay. Am going to get this Kiki family back on track if it kills them. kills me. No, because kills . Whatever. We’ll get him back on track. . Alright. You got me? Yeah. I’m married. . So does Mrs. Clown know what you’re up to? Just leave my wife out of this.

No, no. Mr. Clown, I can’t do that. In fact, you know what I’m gonna send her. Message right now. What? Who I need you, Mrs. Clown, I you, to reach out to your wayward husband, make him stop his shameful and wicked wage and that’s enough. I’m putting the gag back in

me. You.

Do you really think I’m gonna let you steal even more money from my family than you already have? Oh, I didn’t realize you were the type of man that valued money more than your mother’s life. My mother is priceless to me. Okay, then prove it. Pay the 20 mil. You get your mommy back, and we can all go on with our lives.

Just like that. Just like that. You should be grateful. I’m not asking for more. I’ll give you your money. So how do we do this? What do we need for the exchange? . Oh, and risk. Risk. One of your hired goons taking me out on site. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no. Not a chance. You are gonna wire the funds into an offshore account and I will text you the info.

And then what? Well, once I see that the been transferred, I’ll tell you where you can collect. Mommy. Weirdest.

I’ve never been so proud. I’ve never loved you more.

Please, please.

Hello darling. Well, finally you answered, I was about to send out a search party. Sorry, Pam. I’m still stuck at the office. I guess they really wanted to hit the ground running here at Rednecks. What’s up? Uh, well, Bonnie just called, she wants us to come to dinner tonight at the Mansion. It’s Mom and Victor’s anniversary.

Oh, Sarah, I, uh, I know, I know, I know, I know. I know that you are still mad at Victor, but Bonnie said that Mom is really bummed about the Rift in the family, and it would just mean the absolute world to her and to me. So please, baby. Please, please, please. Will you come?

Since it’s from Maggie, you are the sweetest. How far are you from the mansion? Not far at all, as it turns out. Oh, well, perfect. I will see you there.

Well, I’m gonna go upstairs and change, and I’m gonna check on Victor and we don’t wanna start the evening with him in a lousy mood because he can’t find his cuff links. ? No, you check on Moneybags. I check on Cook. I wanna thank you Bonnie so much. It means a lot. Oh Maggie, it’s my pleasure. . You’re so sweet.

Listen, be before we go. Do what we need to do. Okay. I actually have a question for you. Yes. Um, you remember when Justin and I were first dating, you had me over to the house for dinner? Yeah, I do. Okay. I remember coming in and sitting on the table, the two. Charming stainless steel lanterns. Now I checked it out.

11th anniversary is steel. So I was thinking they would make the perfect centerpiece for our table tonight. Oh, do you know, that’s a lovely idea. I, um, I’m Missy, I keep them in the back, in the gardening shed. Oh, okay. Okay. I’ll, I’ll run out there. I’ll grab him. I’ve seen him in. Uh, bye . Bye. It’s done now.

Going back now. I kind of wish you made EJ sweat a little longer, but I’m happy for you. Pretty soon you’ll be swimming in cash and then you can go back to being the power player you always meant to be. Aren’t you glad you listened to your good son?

So how harsh you have to come up with the train. A million. I can help you move assets around if you like. Thank you, Tony. I appreciate the offer, but that won’t be necessary. You are going to pay it, aren’t you? I’m going to do whatever it takes to bring my mother home.

Look, I understand why you’re upset and why you reacted the way you did to those pictures, but let’s just go home and talk about it. I thought we just did.

What more is there to say?

Did you see these photos? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt. Oh, no, no, no, no. I was just leaving. We both were. We’re about to head home. No, actually, I’m gonna go. I’m gonna go and get a beer alone. Besides, I’m sure the two of you have a lot of catching up. Cause I mean, this incredible photo shoot. Ra, no, listen, I’m not interested in what you have to say.

Ra, wait, please wait. Damnit. Hi. This I’m Go talk to No. No. Okay. Did you see how upset he was going after him is only gonna make things worse? Did you tell him it’s not what he thinks it is? Of course, I.

He’s not stupid. Eric, Nicole, what do you mean? Oh, come on. He sees what’s going on.

Everyone does.

Baby here. Oh, I told you I was close by. Hey, how was your, uh, first day at work? It was interesting. Yeah. We’ll talk about it when we get home. Yeah. Okay.

Oh, I am so pleased you’re both here. Happy. Oh my goodness. Thank you darling. Thank you, . Congratulations 11 years. my uncle. It’s quite an achievement. Don’t I know it? , where uh, is everyone else? Um, Justin is in Arizona and Victor. He hasn’t come down yet. Bonnie. Wasn’t this evening her idea? Uh, yes. Yes. The last time I saw Bonnie, she was heading out to the gardening shed.

Hey, now where would I be if I were.

Let me notice. As soon as it’s taken care of,

he did it. You wired around some money to Ava’s account? Not exactly. What does that mean? Not exactly.

Well that must be EJ letting me know that you just made the transfer . That didn’t take long. Do you see the kind of respect you command when you listen to me?

No, no, no, no, no, no. What’s wrong?

What are you saying, Nicole?

Alex? Chloe Rafe, everyone sees it. She’s what? The connection between us, the chemistry, it’s still there. You can’t deny it. Not in those photos, none. When we’re in the same room together,

we don’t have to do this right now. Listen, emotions are high. All.

Let’s just not say anything that we wish we wouldn’t have said.

Like what? Something honest

you. Are you tired of fighting it? And I know I am. I’ve been fighting it since the day you came back to town. Lying to myself pretending that I’m over you, pretending that I’m not jealous of you and Jada. I’m trying to do the right thing. I’m just trying to, I’m trying to give you the space and I try to respect your marriage.

I started, I started seeing somebody. No matter what I do, I always find myself like where I started. Same place with you.

I knew you didn’t come here to palm me then why were you just hiding behind Sunny like a human shield. I was just trying to lighten the moment. I mean, you’re not mad at me anymore about what happened to your brother? Leo, I don’t know how to break this to you, but I don’t think about you at all, especially when I have much, much more pleasant things to dwell on.

Oh, charmer, he sure is. Well, we would invite you to join us, but Sunny and I have lots to talk about. Mm, no we don’t. Yes we do. No, we don’t. Yes, we do. Hey, how if he gets too handsy, I will. Thanks. You know, your brother could afford to show more respect. Oh, yeah. And why would he? Why would he do that? Isn’t it obvious I am a key member of our new governor’s team?

I’d go as far as to say I’ve made myself indispensable to her. You may wanna record the news tonight. Your husband’s bound to be all over the coverage. Coverage of what? Wait, who did he go arrest? I am so glad you asked. You see, camera crews are gonna be there to document Paulina Price’s, historic victory, but they’re also gonna bear witness.

So the governor elects very first scandal. Wait. This is about Paul . My guess is she won’t even make it to inauguration day before she has to resign. You’ve sent Sean to arrest Paul for what? Sadly, Ms. Price is not the subject of the warrant. But our new governor has worked really hard to cover up the heinous crime committed by her daughter.

Remove those handcuffs. Now, this is an outrage. What is happening? Oh, don’t you worry. Don’t you worry, baby. Is it? Let her go. You get away from my baby. I can’t do that. I’m sorry. Here, Colleen, do not interfere. Okay, well, I’m going to interfere this. This doesn’t make any sense. Murder Uncle Sean. There’s no way.

Governor Elect Price. Did you know there was a warrant for your daughter? Mayor Carver, do you have any comment on your stepdaughter’s arrest? Who was the victim? All right, come on, come on. Let’s get you down. Mr. Priest, Chanel, do you have any comment? She has no comment, but I can tell you this is a mistake and a travesty.

Mama, I thought, look, no, baby, don’t you say, don’t you say anything. Don’t you say anything. I promise you this will all, this will all be okay. Chanel give.

Hi, Holly. Holly. Let’s go this way. Let’s go this way. Come on, come on.

Uh, well, I guess a toast to your boss to winning the election. Cheers. Okay. What’s with the lousy mood? All of a sudden, tell your snarky brothers comment, hurt my feelings. You have feeling. Ha ha. Hilarious. This is a serious question, which I’m not gonna dignify with an answer. Look, I know I’ve screwed up in the past, but I’m doing my damnedest to make amends to the people I’ve heard trying to make a decent living, trying to be a productive member of the Salem community, and he.

Treats me like I’m gum on the bottom of his shoe. You can’t blame him for being a little curious as to why he invited me out here. As a matter of fact, I am too. I told you why. If you hadn’t recognized Clyde Weston’s cologne and identified him as your attacker, I’d be in prison right now. Great. I’m very glad that the right person was punished.

But you didn’t have to take me out to dinner. I know. I didn’t have to. I wanted to and we have a history after all. You gone what? What should I not bring up our past that we used to be married? It is kind of a big deal. Yes, but it doesn’t make the case that you think it does. Leo. Sing as you know, uh, you blackmailed me.

So using the term married to describe what we were makes me a bit queasy. I only blackmailed you after you and will thought you killed me and rolled my body up in a rug to dispose of fine. None of that would’ve happened if you hadn’t gone after me and Will in the first place.

Well, this is fun. Yes. We haven’t even worked at appetizers yet.

Is it mirror? Are things getting tense over there? You know, I’m not sure Sonny even knows why he’s here. It’s not a date isn’t. No. No. God no. Sunny and will are solid, but hey, let’s just, let’s ignore them. Let’s focus on our big night. And it is a big night. Mm-hmm. , isn’t it? Mm-hmm. . Ah. Hearing those election results felt even better than I thought it would.

You made that happen. Oh, I was a small part. Would you please, please stop being so humble. Okay. A medium sized part. And so were you, thank you again for hitting that file from Sloan. I know you felt like you were betraying her. If that’s all it took to garnish a date with you, I’d do it all over again. I am sorry, and I take that back.

I’m not gonna be that guy again. What guy? The guy that just comes on too strong and pushes way too hard. Calling this a date would be, um, presumptuous maybe, but. What if it is a day?

So you still think I’m bluffing fine, but don’t come crying to me whenever all hell breaks loose. Which should be any moment now, by the way.

Okay, so you have the. What’s your number?

You wanna buy the file back? Name me a price. You’ll have it tonight. I guess. I can’t blame you for thinking that Paulina can buy her way out of this one, but you humiliated me. You used someone that I cared about to get what you wanted,

so you forced me to up the. What are you talking about? It means that Paul is about to get what’s coming to her, and she will have no one to blame, but you and Stephanie,

I guess this Samir Carver, but I want you to get security to escort the reporters away from Ms. Price’s door. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Hey, why did you drag me in here when you know Chanel needs me? Those reporters out there are the reason you are going to be swamped. We’re just lucky your office is right off the square.

I’m so lucky. Look, I’m worried about unless you are, but this isn’t about her. She was arrested for murder, but this story isn’t about her. This is about you. The governor elect those reporters out there, they are going to ask you questions. You don’t have the answers for ’em, or maybe you do.

You’re arresting Chanel. For what? You know that warrant your husband is currently serving? I don’t think I’ve ever had an easier time having a judge sign off on be. Oh, nice work Detective. How’d it go? You know exactly how it went. I’ve got uniforms out front trying to keep the reporters at bay. Oh, I’m sure they have so many questions and I hope all those photographers got you.

Good side. Mr. Pree, uh, you know why you’re here, right? Actually, Chanel, you don’t have to say anything. Let’s get her down to booking so I can start questioning her. Yeah. Sean, what is going on? I, I don’t know. I don’t know all the details, but I’ll fill you in later. Okay. Come on.

Okay, look. Can we start over? Leo, why don’t we just get the check and leave the check For what? We haven’t ordered anything. No, but we got the drinks and actually waiter. Sunny. Stop. Stop. The last thing I wanted to do tonight was.

Looking back, I’m sure there are things that we both regret. That we both regret. No, I don’t regret a damn thing. Okay, fine. Well, there are things that I regret, but we also have had our fun, right? No. No, we did not. Well, it’s never been boring. Can you at least say that?

Okay. I’ll give you that one. I just want us to get along. Thank God. What? It’s not that I don’t think you want to get along Leo, but you always have some ulterior motive, an angle, and if by chance you are looking for another sugar daddy, I wanna make it very, very clear that this ring I’m wearing, it means a lot to me.

You think I asked you out to try and seduce you and take your money? I’m not not thinking it Well, I am beyond hurt and insulted, which is something I’m very used. Besides, I don’t need a sugar daddy. I have a great job. Now then what do you want? Friendship. Seriously? You say that like it’s some insane fantasy.

Like, who does Leo Stark think he is trying to have friends? Okay. No, that’s, that’s not what I meant. Yes it is. Yes it is. It’s fine.

The truth is I don’t have very many friends. It’s distressing. Yes, there’s Gwenny whom I adore, but I don’t have a single gay male friend in Salem. Not one. And you want me to be the one? Well, Sonny, you’re successful, you’re popular, you’re funny, which is very important to me because I’m hilarious and have been told many times that I should do standup.

My point is maybe you have no idea what it’s like to be lonely, but I’ll give you a window. It sucks.

What are you not telling me? Paulina Abraham. I heard Chanel say something. I know what you’re thinking. That your wife is keeping yet another secret from you that thought had entered my. I really believed I had this under control. And what? Under control? Oh, look, Paulina. Paulina, I want to help you, but I can’t help you if I don’t know what this is.

And there’s no time to waste if Chanel is going to be charged with murder. So, Please for the sake of your daughter.

I was being blackmailed for something Chanel did when she was younger and the blackmailer said I had to pay up or, or the police would find out the truth. I hired Stephanie Johnson to handle it. That thought she was your campaign manager? Yes. Yes, but it was more than that. The proof was in a file and Stephanie, she, she got it back for me and, you know, the, the blackmail was over.

Chanel was safe. At least I thought she was. So what did you do with this file? Well, I put it somewhere where no one could get to it. I just, I don’t even understand how this all got out of control. Who is it? Who was blackmailing you? Sloan Peterson. That witch. What did you do? Only would I had been threatening to do from the very beginning if I didn’t get what I was asking for.

You went to the cops even better, I’m sure you won’t be surprised to hear that Da Trask was very, very interested in the contents of that file.

Come on. Come on, answer.

Pharrell, you’d be willing to to date, because up until now everything you’ve said has been pretty much the opposite. I. And I had my reasons, but maybe it’s time to rethink those reasons. That is the best news that I’ve heard all year long.

It’s Chad,

do you need to take that? I’ll, I’ll give you some privacy. Um, No, no. I’m here with you. Notifications are silenced. Look at you. Look at me. Election’s over. Hmm. I deserve a night without alerts. Work is done for the day. You sure? Yeah. Whenever it is. It can wait. Right now I have something more important to focus on.

Cheers to that

Sam Bell. Allie, I was just trying to call you. Have you seen Chanel? Yeah, Sean just brought her through. I tried to follow, but I fight through all these reporters. Is she, is she locked up already? Oh no, she’s still here in the station. They just took her down to booking. Gosh, she must be so scared and there’s nothing I can do.

Do you know what this is about? No. No. Paulina had just finished her victory speech. Everything was great, and then all of a sudden Sean showed up with a warrant, said the charges were murder. Wait, what? Murder? How can that be?

Okay. Now turn to the right.

Sounds like you’re getting a lot of alerts. Something in the news. Dana Ste. Why aren’t you picking up? No, I guess she’s busy. I’ll know where she is. Good luck. You’ll need it.

This girl. I don’t know how she did it, but somehow Sloan got into my safe and she stole back the evidence. How’d she get her hands on that evidence in the first place? Well, she’s representing some mystery clients. You wouldn’t tell me who and, and, and, uh, the evidence was just sitting in. I plan to shred everything, but I haven’t had a moment alone since I got my hands on it.

So if the DA was able to secure a warrant yes. For Chanel’s arrest, that means Melinda Trask has that file right now. Oh, and she hates me, says I strong armed her into giving Lonnie that plea. So you think she’s taking it out on Chanel? Oh, I know she is. Oh my poor baby. I need to go see my daughter. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Until we have a plan. Until we have a plan, we have to keep our distance from post reporters. What we need to sit here. We need to do something. Look, I. One step at a time. We cannot help Chanel until we have a plan, and until you tell me what she did.

Stephanie, Chad, why are you doing here? Why are you ignoring my calls? Hey, we’re in the middle of something here, bud. Right? Um, sorry, I’m, I’m sorry to interrupt. I, I, I really am, but you need to check your phone. Why, what’s going on?

You’re serious, aren’t you? About wanting a friend. Why would I joke about that? Because literally everything is a joke to you, Leo. You enjoy nothing more than making someone look like a total idiot. That’s how you see me. Is there any other way? So I like to keep people laughing because, like I said, being funny.

It’s my greatest talent. And yes, I enjoy scandalizing people by being outrageous because it keeps them at a distance. But you know where that gets you right here with somebody thinking that you’re playing a prank when you’re trying to reveal a piece of your heart to.

I’m sorry. It’s fine. It’s my own fault. I act like a clown. I don’t expect people to look beneath the surface level. I just didn’t expect you to be like everybody else.

When did this happen? Right after Paulina gave her victory. How did this happen? I’m still trying to sort all that out, but I just ran into, uh, Toone and she was all too happy to let me know what she did. She got the documents back and she used them. Wait, but that’s impossible. But how did she get him out?

Polina Safe

said he helped. So bitch. Oh, Alex, what are you doing? Hey, get up. Huh? Get up. What? What did you do? You little rat.

I wanna help Chanel so bad, but I don’t even know who to call. I’ve never felt this helpless. It’s gonna be okay girl. Help any way I can.

Where Sonnel is she? Okay? Transcos are in interrogation. She wants to be the one to do the initial. Chanel’s by herself. That can’t be good. Well, this is what trash does. Make the arrest publicly, catch the suspect off guard, rush them through booking. She wants Chanel to be scared and desperate, so she’ll say whatever she needs to say to get outta that room.

Sean, you have to help her please.

It’s just you and me right now. Miss D. And, and I need you to understand that the truth is your only way through this, the truth. All right, let’s stop this right now. Excuse me, but you’re not allowed to be in here Chanel. Do you want representation? Huh? Do you want my help? Do you want me to be your lawyer?

Yes. Good. This interrogation at, so.

You might wanna think twice about that. Chanel Mrs. Brady’s been hanging around the station tonight. Do you really wanna trust your fate in the hands of an ambulance chaser? Chanel has stated her preference for counsel, so anything you wanna say to her, you say through me, it’s not too late to change your mind.

She’s my lawyer now. There you go, Ms. Trus. I’d like a few minutes to confer with my client, so if you wouldn’t mind, or even if you do mind,

Allie was really afraid that you were gonna be in here alone. But listen, you are. Alone anymore.

Detective, don’t you have an arrest report to write up? I’ll get to it. Why are you doing this? I’m just doing my job, Allie. But if you know something, then you can help your friend by making a statement. Just leave it alone. Okay. I’m just trying to be helpful by arresting Chanel in front of half the town.

Chanel’s not doing herself any favors in there. Okay. You might think that letting Bell take over is a good idea, but I’m just trying to get to the truth. Well, I don’t know anything, and even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you my girlfriend is not a murderer and you know this because, because I would know like, I’m sorry, Allie, but that’s what we call misplaced loyalty.

Right. She’s been keeping a very big secret from you from every. That’s all gonna come out now.

Alex, take it easy. Just tell me what you did, Leo. Tell me what you did. Just tell me who you’re working for. Don’t lie. I don’t lie. Call Le Price. Get off me. Admit it. Just admit it. What did you do? Wait, wait. How am I supposed to admit anything? I don’t know what you’re talking about. Let him go, Alice. Yeah, please.

It’s okay. Glad I wasn’t being paranoid before. Hey, Can we just, what’s going on? Okay. Leo, did Sloan Peterson go to Paulina’s office today? What? Answer the question. What? I, yeah. I, I, I owe Sloan some money, but what does my business with Sloan have Anything to do with you? It doesn’t, except when your business is stabbing.

Our friends in the back,

I just can’t believe that Chanel’s been carrying this. Burden around for so long. You too. Oh, babe, I’m, I’m so sorry for keeping this from you, and please don’t, don’t hate me for lying to you yet again.

I.

And I get why, oh, you kept this hidden. This wasn’t your secret to tell. You understand. I’ll do anything I can to help you and your daughter. Thank you. Thank you, Abraham. Thank you.

Kicking the DA out of here doesn’t mean that she’s going away for good. She’s gonna wanna sit with you and she’s gonna have a lot of tough questions, but the good news is I’ll be here to make sure you don’t say anything that’s gonna hurt yourself. Okay. Thank you. Now, Allie said that your arrest came as a surprise to.

was it a surprise to you, or did you see it coming? No, I, I thought it was all over. That Mama was helping, helping make it go away? Well, that she had this file, the one that Ms. Trask has now. What’s in the file? I am supposed to tell you everything. Actually, you know, it’s probably better if you don’t give me the details.

The police still have to show me what they have, and it’s probably better that I see that without any preconceptions. They have that file, then they have everything they need. So you’ve seen what’s in that file. Mama, show me a copy. Okay. Chanel, I want you to understand that in a court of law, it’s not always about the.

It’s about what they can prove is true. Okay.

What documents I, I don’t understand, and what does this have to do with Paul and Hiss daughter? Just tell us what happened when Sloane was in the office. Why is this important? Just tell them everything. Leo, I already told you. She showed up because she wanted money. Did you give it to her? Well, it wasn’t that simple.

I didn’t have any cash. Paul had promised me in advance and I wanted to get rid of Sloan, so, so you opened Paulina Safe, the combination was just sitting there. You opened it in front of Sloan. Well, how else was I supposed to get the money out? I took what I needed and I closed it right back up. Obviously not.

She said you helped her. What? No, no, I didn’t help her do anything. Did you turn your back for even a second? No.

Oh geez. Answer the question, Leo,

maybe. Okay. You’re gonna have to do better than that. Well, I, I had to count the money. Right. And we know that staying focused is in my strong suit, neither’s Math. Well, congratulations, Leo, you just destroyed your boss’s career and her daughter’s life.

Uh huh. Well, thank you for the update.

They’ve cleared out most of the reporters. Just a few stragglers left, hoping to catch a sound bite from you. Hmm. Which they’ll twist and use against my Chanel. Well, don’t say anything for now. Why? Need to get down to the station. Look, why don’t we, why don’t we call down there and check. It it We’ll see if Ali knows what’s going on, huh?

Yes. Good idea. Good idea. Oh,

Helen El, are you at the station? I’m here. Where are you? Um, in my office. Trying to avoid the press. How’s my baby? Have you seen her? No. She’s in the interrogation. Oh my God. She’s all alone in there. No, she’s not alone. Um, my Aunt Bell’s in there. I think she’s taking on the case. Oh, thank God. Thank God.

Well, if you see her, you tell her to hold on. Okay. Tell her mama is coming.

So for now, you just stay quiet and you let me do all the talking. Okay. Oh, it’s Allie. She’s out in the station and she said she just spoke to your mom and she’s on her way soon. I can’t believe this happened on our election night. Well, they obviously planned it that way.

I trust that you and your shiny new client are getting to know each other, but I still have questions that need to be. Well, they’ll have to wait. It’s been a long night and I still need to see your evidence . Okay, you wanna stall? Fine, but since it’s too late for an arraignment, it’s also too late for a bail hearing, meaning your client is gonna be our guest for the night downstairs in the lockup.

Detective, please escort our newest guest down to recorders for the evening. Uh, Chanel, everything is gonna be okay, Sean. We’ll keep you safe and I’ll have you out in the morning. Okay, here we go.

Best Cuffer before you walk her down there as befits a murder suspect.

I really got Paul and his daughter in trouble, huh? Yeah. Looks pretty bad or kid. Well, Alex seems to think whatever happened that I did it on purpose. And did you What? I would never do anything to Paulina or Chanel. If Sloan stole something from Paulina Safe, she did it while I wasn’t looking. You believe me, right.

God help me. But yeah. Yeah, I do.

I can’t stay here any longer. I need to be with my daughter. Look, I know that. And I would do my best to shield you from those reporters. So are you ready for this? Oh, I have to be. We’ll get through it together.

All right. Let’s go.

Well, now we know Sloane used Leo to get that file. Are we sure he wasn’t working for her? I don’t know. So we should probably get started on this right away. Yeah. I’m sorry, Alex, but I have to go. My phone is going to explode if I don’t at least release a statement and I need to go find Paulina. Yeah, of course.

Oh, we’ll do this again another time. I’d like that a lot

you. Yeah, let’s go.

Congratulations, madam Governor Elect, Mr. Mayor, you both won hard fought elections. But I wonder at what price? What are you doing here? Are you here to glute something like that? Paulina, you know, it would’ve been so much cheaper for you just to pay me when I asked, but now the whole world is gonna know what Chanel did and how you covered it up.

Well, here’s what I. That you are a miserable, heartless cow. Now get outta my way. I’ve gotta go see my daughter

snow. Oh my God. I’m so sorry. Don’t touch the prisoner. Oh, she’s not a prisoner detective. This contact is inappropriate. Whatever you need, I’m here for you. Okay. I love. I love you too, Chelsea Brady. Take her away.

See, I got an advance in my salary. It’s bringing a hold in my pocket. Well, look who it is. Oh God. What are you? What are you doing here? Did you bring him here as some kind of threat? He’s headed in for me since the night you were stabbed. Relax, Leo. I didn’t come here for you.

I came here for her.

Where’s your partner in crime? Oh, you mean my partner in crime fighting? Yeah. Despite your best effort. It’s our client won our election and is off celebrating. Well, you’re drowning your sorrows with martini sorrows. Oh, no, no, no honey. I’m the one who’s celebrating. But you lost. Good boy. You are way behind with times.

Oh, looking for someone? Uh, yeah, I thought my husband would be here. Oh, you shouldn’t be long. If you just wanna wait. I just sent him out with an arrest warrant. Wish he should be serving right about. Now

It was the DA’s idea. So trash put you up to this. Yeah. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to, an attorney cannot afford one. I will provide for you. No Ms. Price and Adam. Governor, like is this true? Do you have any comments?

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

This is one defeat. You can’t spin, counselor, you have nothing left to blackmail. Poll price with not that Stephanie gave her the original. Yeah. That’s what Alex did with it. Didn’t realize he was moonlighting for sj p r. They’re friends. Friends, right. Anyway, Alex stole my file, so I stole it right back from him.

What you talking about? I owe it on a surprises new system, Leo Stark, but one and only thanks to him I got access into Pauline’s Safe and the information that rightfully belonged to.

I knew you didn’t come here to pumble me, then why were you just hiding behind sunny like a human shield? I was just trying to lighten the moment. I mean, you’re not mad at me anymore about what happened to your brother, right? Leo? I don’t know how to break this to you, but I don’t think about you at all, especially when I have much, much more pleasant things to dwell on.

Oh, he’s a sharmer. He sure is. Well, we would invite you to join us, but Sunny and I have lots to talk about. Mm-hmm. No, we don’t. Yes we do. No, we don’t. Yes we do. Hey, holler. If it gets too handsy, I will. Thanks. You know, your brother could afford to show more respect. Oh yeah. And why would he do that? Why would he do that?

Isn’t it obvious I am a key member of our new governor’s? I’d go as far as to say I’ve made myself indispensable to her. You may wanna record the news tonight. Your husband’s bound to be all over the coverage. Coverage of what? Wait. Who did he go arrest? I am so glad you asked. You see, camera crews are gonna be there to document Paulina Price’s historic victory, but they’re also gonna bear witness to the governor.

Elect’s very first scandal. Wait. This is about Paul. My guess is she won’t even make it to inauguration day before she has to resign. You’ve sent Sean to arrest Paul for what? Sadly, Ms. Price is not the subject of the warrant. But our new governor has worked really hard to cover up the heinous crime committed by her daughter.

Remove those handcuffs. Now. This is an outrage. You look what is happening. Oh, don’t you worry. Don’t you worry, baby. Is it? Let her go. You get away from my baby. I can’t do that. I’m sorry. Do not interfere. Okay, well, I’m going to interfere this. This doesn’t make any sense. Murder Uncle Sean. There’s no way. I don’t.

Governor Elect Price. Did you know there was a warrant for your daughter’s arrest? Mayor Carver, do you have any comment on your stepdaughter’s arrest? Who was the victim? All right, come on, come on. Let’s get you down. Mr. Priest, Chanel, do you have any comment? She has no comment, but I tell you this. Steak and a travesty.

Mama, I thought, look, no, baby, don’t you say, don’t you say anything. Don’t you say anything. I promise you this will all, this will all be okay. Come,

let’s go. Let’s go this way.

Uh, well, I guess a toast to your boss to winning the election. Cheers. Okay. What’s with the lousy mood? All of a sudden? Oh, your snarky brothers comment hurt my feelings. You have feelings? Haha. Hilarious. This is a serious question, which I’m not gonna dignify with an. Look, I know I’ve screwed up in the past, but I’m doing my damnedest to make amends to the people I’ve heard trying to make a decent living, trying to be a productive member of the Salem community, and he treats me like I’m gum on the bottom of his shoe.

You can’t blame him for being a little curious as to why he invited me out here. As a matter of fact, I am too. I told you why. If you hadn’t recognized Clyde Weston’s cologne and identified him as your attacker, I’d be in prison right now. I’m very glad that the right person was punished. But you didn’t have to take me out to dinner.

I know. I didn’t have to. I wanted to. And we have a history after all. My God, what? What should I not bring up our past that we used to be married? It is kind of a big deal. Yes. But it doesn’t make the case that you think it does. Leo. Sing as you know. Uh, You blackmailed me. So using the term married to describe what we were makes me a bit queasy.

I only blackmailed you after you and Will thought you killed me and rolled my body up in a rug to dispose of. I, none of that would’ve happened if you hadn’t gone after me and Will in the first place.

Well, this is fun. Yes. We haven’t been working with appetizers yet.

Is it mirror? Are things getting tense over there? You know, I’m not sure Sonny even knows why he’s here. It’s not a date, isn’t it? No. No. God, no. Sonny and Will are solid, but hey, let’s just, let’s ignore them. Let’s focus on our big night. Hmm. And it is a big night. Mm-hmm. , isn’t it? Mm-hmm. . Ah. Hearing those election results felt even better than I thought it would.

You made that happen. Oh, I was a small part. Would you please, please stop being so humble. Okay. A medium sized part. And so were you, thank you again for hitting that file from Sloan. I know you felt like you were betraying her. If that’s all it took to garnish a date with you, I’d do it all over again. I’m sorry.

And I take that back. I’m not gonna be that guy. What guy? The guy that just comes on too strong and pushes way too hard. Calling this a date would be, um, presumptuous maybe. But what if it is a date?

So you still think I’m bluffing fine, but don’t come crying to me whenever all hell breaks loose. Which should be any moment now, by the way.

Okay, so you have the fire. What’s your number?

You wanna buy the file back? Name me a price. You’ll have it tonight. I guess I can’t blame you for thinking that Paulina can buy her way out of this one, but you humiliated me. You used someone that I cared about to get what you wanted,

so you forced me to up the stakes. What are you talking about? It means that Paul is about to get what’s coming. And she will have no one to blame, but you and Stephanie?

Yes. This is Amir Carver. I want you to get security to escort the reporters away from Ms. Price’s door. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. And why did you drag me in here when you know Chanel needs me? Those reporters out there are the reason you are going to be swamped. We’re just lucky your office is right off the square.

I’m so lucky. Look, I’m worried about unless you are, but this isn’t about her. She was arrested for murder. But this story isn’t about her. This is about you, the governor elect. Those reporters out there, they are going to ask you questions. You don’t have the answers for ’em, or maybe you do.

You’re arresting Chanel. For what? No. That warrant your husband is currently serving. I don’t think I’ve ever had an easier time having a judge sign off on fell. Oh, nice work Detective. How’d it go? You know exactly how it went. I’ve got uniforms out front trying to keep the reporters at bay. Oh, I’m sure they have so many questions and I hope all those photographers got you.

Good side. Mr. Pree, uh, you know why you’re here, right? Actually, Chanel, you don’t have to say anything. Let’s get her down to booking so I can start questioning her. Yeah. Sean, what is going on? I, I don’t know. I don’t know all the details, but I’ll fill you in later. Okay. Come on.

Okay, look, can we start over? Leo, why don’t we just get the check on the, the check for what? We haven’t ordered anything, but we got the drinks and actually waiter, sunny. Stop. Stop. The last thing I wanted to do tonight is.

Looking back, I’m sure there are things that we both regret. That we both regret. No, I don’t regret a damn thing. Okay, fine. Well, there are things that I regret, but we also have had our fun, right? No. No, we did not. Well, it’s never been boring. Can you at least say that?

Okay. I’ll give you that one. I just want us to get along. Thank God. What? It’s not that I don’t think you want to get along Leo, but you always have some ulterior motive, an angle, and if by chance you are looking for another sugar daddy, I wanna make it very, very clear that this ring I’m wearing, it means a lot to me.

You think I asked you out to try and seduce you and take your money? I’m not not thinking it Well, I am beyond hurt and insulted, which is something I’m very used. Besides, I don’t need a sugar daddy. I have a great job. Now then what do you want? Friendship. Seriously? You say that like it’s some insane fantasy.

Like, who does Leo Stark think he is trying to have friends? Okay. No, that’s, that’s not what I meant. Yes it is. Yes it is. It’s fine.

The truth is I don’t have very many friends. It’s distressing. Yes, there’s Gwenny whom I adore, but I don’t have a single gay male friend in Salem. Not one. And you want me to be the one? Well, Sonny, you’re successful, you’re popular, you’re funny, which is very important to me because I’m hilarious and have been told many times that I should do standup.

My point is maybe you have no idea what it’s like to be lonely, but I’ll give you a window. It sucks.

What are you not telling me? Paulina Abraham. I heard Schnell say something. I know what you’re thinking, that you, your wife is keeping yet another secret from you that thought had entered my mind. I really believed I had this under control. And what? Under control? Oh, look, Paulina Paul, I want to help you, but I can’t help you if I don’t know what this is.

And there’s no time to waste if Chanel is going to be charged with murder. So, Please for the sake of your daughter.

I was being blackmailed for something Chanel did when she was younger and the blackmailer said I had to pay up or the police would find out the truth. I hired Stephanie Johnson to handle it. That how she was your campaign manager? Yes, yes, but it was more than that. The proof was in a file and Stephanie, she, she got it back for me and, you know, the, the blackmail was over.

She know it was safe. At least I thought she was. So what did you do with this file? Well, I put it somewhere where no one could get to it. I just, I don’t even understand how this all got out of control. Who is it? Who was blackmailing you? Sloan Peterson. That witch. What did you do? Only would I had been threatening to do from the very beginning if I didn’t get what I was asking for.

You went to the cops even better, I’m sure you won’t be surprised to hear that Da Trask was very, very interested in the contents of that file.

Come on. Come on. Answer.

For real, you’d be willing to to date, because up until now, everything you’ve said has been pretty much the opposite. I know, and I had my reasons, but maybe it’s time to rethink those reasons. That is the best news that I’ve. All year long.

uh, it’s Chad,

do you need to take that? I’ll, I’ll give you some privacy. Um, no, no. I’m here with you. Notifications are silenced. Look at you. Look at me. Election’s over. Hmm. I deserve a night without alerts. Work is done for the day. Are you sure? Yeah. Whatever it is, it can wait. And right now I have something more important to focus on.

Cheers to that

Allie, I was just trying to call you. Have you seen Chanel? Yeah, Sean just brought her through. I tried to follow, but I fight through all these reporters. Is she, is she locked up already? Oh no, she’s still here in the station. They just took her down to booking. Gosh, she must be so scared and there’s nothing I can do to help.

Do you know what this is about? No, no. Paul had just finished her victory speech. Everything was great, and then all of a sudden Sean showed up with a warrant, said the charges were murder. Wait, what Murder. H, how can that be?

Okay, now turn to the right.

Sounds like you’re getting a lot of alerts. Something in the news. Damn it, Stefan, why aren’t you picking up? No, I guess she’s. I’ll know where she is. Good luck. You’ll need it.

This girl, I don’t know how she did it, but somehow Sloan got into my safe and she stole back the evidence. How’d she get her hands on that evidence in the first place? Well, she’s representing some mystery client. She wouldn’t tell me. And, and, and, uh, the evidence was just sitting in the safe. I plan to shred everything, but I haven’t had a moment alone since I got my hands on it.

So if the DA was able to secure a warrant yes. For Chanel’s arrest, that means Melinda Trask has that file right now. Oh. And she hates me. Says I strong armed her into given Lonnie that plea deal. So you think she’s still get it out on Chanel? Oh, I know she is. Oh my poor baby. I need to go see my daughter.

No, no, no, no, no, no. Until we have a. Until we have a plan, we have to keep our distance from those reporters. What? We can’t just sit here, we need to do something. Look, I know that one step at a time, we cannot help Chanel until we have a plan and until you tell me what she did,

Stephanie. Chad, why are you doing here? Why are you ignoring my calls? Hey, we’re in the middle of something here, bud. Right? Um, sorry, I’m, I’m sorry to interrupt. I, I, I really am. But you need to check your phone. Why? What’s going on?

You serious? Aren’t you about wanting a. Why would I joke about that? Because literally everything is a joke to you, Leo. You enjoy nothing more than making someone look like a total idiot. That’s how you see me. Is there any other way? So I like to keep people laughing because, like I said, being funny. It’s my greatest talent.

And yes, I enjoy scandalizing people by being outrageous because it keeps them at a distance. But you know where that gets you right here with somebody thinking that you’re playing a prank when you’re trying to reveal a piece of your heart to,

oh, I’m sorry. It’s fine. It’s my own fault. I act like a clown. I don’t expect people to look beneath the surface level. I just didn’t expect you to be like everybody else.

When did this happen? Right after Paulina gave her victory speech. How did this happen? I’m still trying to sort all of that out, but I just ran into, uh, to Sloan and she was all too happy to let me know what she did. She got the documents back and she used them. Wait, but that’s impossible. But how did she get him outta PUIs safe?

Sloan said he.

So bitch. Oh, Alex, what are you doing? Hey, get up. Huh? Get up. What? What did you do? You little rat.

I wanna help Chanel so bad, but I don’t even know who to call. I’ve never felt this helpless. It’s gonna be okay. Yeah. Help. Anyway, I, I’ll help any way I can.

Where Stella is she? Okay. Transcos are in interrogation. She wants to be the one to do the initial. Chanel’s by herself. That can’t be good. Well, this is what trash does. Make the arrest publicly, catch the suspect off guard, rush them through booking. She wants Chanel to be scared and desperate, so she’ll say whatever she needs to say to get outta that room.

Sean, you have to help her please.

It’s just you and me right now. Miss D. And, and I need you to understand that the truth is your only way through this, the truth. All right, let’s stop this right now. Excuse me, but you’re not allowed to be in here Chanel. Do you want representation? Huh? Do you want my help? Do you want me to be your lawyer?

Yes. Good. This interrogation at, so.

You might wanna think twice about that. Chanel Mrs. Brady’s been hanging around the station tonight. Do you really wanna trust your fate in the hands of an ambulance chaser? Chanel has stated her preference for counsel, so anything you wanna say to her, you say through me, it’s not too late to change your mind.

She’s my lawyer. There you go, Ms. Trask. I’d like a few minutes to confer with my client, so if you wouldn’t mind, or even if you do mind,

Allie was really afraid that you were gonna be in here alone. But listen, you are not alone anymore.

Detective, don’t you have an arrest report to write up? I’ll get to it. Why are you doing this? I’m just doing my job, Allie. But if you know something, then you can help your friend by making a statement. Leave over. Okay. I’m just trying to be helpful by arresting Chanel in front of half the town. Chanel’s not doing herself any favors in there.

Okay. You might think that letting Bell take over is a good idea, but I’m just trying to get to the truth. Well, I don’t know anything, and even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you my girlfriend is not a murderer and you know this because? Because I would. Like, I’m sorry, Allie, but that’s what we call misplaced loyalty.

Right? She’s been keeping a very big secret from you, from everyone. That’s all gonna come out now.

Well, Alex, take it easy. Just tell me what you did, Leo. Tell me what you did. Just tell me who you’re working for. Don’t lie. I don’t lie. Call Lena Price. Get off me. Admit it. Just admit it. What did you do? Wait, wait. How am I supposed to admit anything? I don’t know what you’re talking about. Let him go, Alice.

Yeah, please. It’s.

Glad I wasn’t being paranoid before. Hey, what’s, can we just, what’s going on? Okay. Leo, did Sloan Peterson go to Paulina’s office today? What? Answer the question. What? I, yeah. I, I, I owe Sloan some money, but what does my business with Sloan have Anything to do with you? It doesn’t, except when your business is stabbing.

Our friends in the back.

I just can’t believe that Chanel’s been carrying this burden around for so long. You too. Oh, babe, I, I’m so sorry for keeping this from you, and please don’t, don’t hate me for lying to you yet again.

I can never hate you. And I get, oh, you kept this hidden. This wasn’t your secret to tell. You understand. I’ll do anything I can to help you and your daughter. Thank you. Thank you, Abraham. Thank you.

Kicking the DA out of here doesn’t mean that she’s going away for good. She’s gonna wanna sit with you and she’s gonna have a lot of tough questions, but the good news is I’ll be here to make sure you don’t say anything that’s gonna hurt yourself. Okay. Thank you. Now, Allie said that your arrest came as a surprise to.

was it a surprise to you, or did you see it coming? No, I, I thought it was all over and Mama was helping, helping make it go away? Well, that she had this file, the one that Ms. Trask has now. What’s in the file? I am supposed to tell you everything. Actually, you know, it’s probably better if you don’t give me the details.

The police still have to show me what they have, and it’s probably better that I see that without any preconceptions. If they have that file, then they have everything they need. So you’ve seen what’s in that file. Mama, show me a copy. Okay. Chanel, I want you to understand that in a court of law, it’s not always about the.

It’s about what they can prove is true. Okay.

What documents I, I don’t understand, and what does this have to do with Paulina’s daughter? Just tell us what happened when Sloane was in the office. Why is this important? Tell them everything. Leo, I already told you she showed up because she wanted money. Did you give it to her? Well, it wasn’t that simple.

I didn’t have any cash. Paul had promised me in advance and I wanted to get rid of Sloan, so, so you opened Paulina Safe, the combination was just sitting there. You opened it in front of Sloan. Well, how else was I supposed to get the money out? I took what I needed and I closed it right back up. Obviously not.

She said you helped her. What? No, no, I didn’t help her do anything. Did you turn your back for even a second? No.

Oh geez. Answer the question, Leo,

maybe. Okay. You’re gonna have to do better than that. Well, I, I had to count the money. Right. And we know that staying focused is in my strong suit, neither’s Math. Well, congratulations, Leo, you just destroyed your boss’s career and her daughter’s life.

Uh huh. Well, thank you for the update.

They’ve cleared out most of the reporters. Just a few stragglers left, hoping to catch a sound bite from you. Hmm. Which they’ll twist and use against my Chanel. Well, don’t say anything for now. I need to get down to the station. I look. Why don’t we, why don’t we call down there and check. It it We’ll see if Ali knows what’s going on, huh?

Yes. Good idea. Good idea. Oh,

Helena El, are you at the station? I’m here. Where are you? Um, in my office. Trying to avoid the press. How’s my baby? Have you seen her? No. She’s in the interrogation. Oh my God. She’s all alone in there. No, she’s not alone. Um, my Aunt Bell’s in there. I think she’s taking on the case. Oh, thank God. Thank God.

Well, if you see her, you tell her to hold on. Okay. Tell her mama is coming.

So for now, you just stay quiet and you let me do all the talking. Okay. Oh, it’s Allie. She’s out in the station and she said she just spoke to your mom and she’s on her way soon. I can’t believe this happened on our election night. Well, they obviously planned it that way.

I trust that you and your shiny new client are getting to know each other, but I still have questions that need to be. Well, they’ll have to wait. It’s been a long night and I still need to see your evidence . Okay, you wanna stall? Fine, but since it’s too late for an arraignment, it’s also too late for a bail hearing, meaning your client is gonna be our guest for the night downstairs in the lockup.

Detective, please escort our newest guest down to reporters for the evening. Uh, Chanel. Everything is gonna be okay, Sean. We’ll keep you safe and I’ll have you out in the morning. Okay, here we go.

Best Cuffer before you walk her down there as befits a murder suspect.

I really got Paulina, his daughter in trouble, huh? Yeah. Looks pretty bad. We’re kid. Well, Alex seems to think whatever happened that I did it on purpose. Did you? What? I would never do anything to Paulina or Chanel. If Sloan stole something from Paulina Safe, she did it while I wasn’t looking. You believe me, right.

God help me. But yeah. Yeah, I do.

I can’t stay here any longer. I need to be with my daughter. Look, I know that. And I will do my best to shield you from those reporters. So are you ready for this? Oh, I have to be. We’ll get through it together.

All right, let’s go.

Well, now we. Sloan used Leo to get that file. Are we sure he wasn’t working for her? I don’t know, but we should probably get started on this right away. Yeah. I’m sorry, Alex, but I have to go. My phone is going to explode if I don’t at least release a statement and I need to go find Paulina. Yeah, of course.

But we’ll do this again another time. I’d like that. It’s a lot

you. Yeah, let’s go.

Congratulations, madam Governor Elect, Mr. Mayor, you both won hard fought elections. But I wonder at what price? What are you doing here? Are you here to glute something like that? Paulina, you know, it would’ve been so much cheaper for you just to pay me when I asked, but now the whole world is gonna know what Chanel did and how you covered it up.

Well, here’s what I know that you are a miserable, heartless cow. Now get outta. I’ve gotta go see my daughter. Oh,

Chanel. Oh my God. I’m so sorry. Don’t touch the prisoner. Oh, she’s not a prisoner detective. This contact is inappropriate. Whatever you need, I’m here for you. Okay. I love you. She, I love you too, Chelsea. Take her away.

It means I’m finally an A-list. Gay. Wow. Does that mean we’ll actually get a, a good table tonight? It damn will better. She’s coming.

Hi.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Relax. She’s fine. Susan is being well taken care of. For the moment, don’t you do that? Okay. Let me get one thing clear here I am calling the shots. Now I have your mother, and if you do exactly what I tell you to maybe just, maybe I will return her to. In one piece.

We have had a productive morning. My love. Indeed. We have. We have performed our civic duty and celebrated with a lovely little shopping spree. Well, actually the shopping spree was your, My reward is a leisurely lunch. And what’s on the menu for today? She’ll see Sean Douglas. Happy Election Day. Yeah, you too, grandpa.

Have you voted yet? You should go right now while the lines are still short, darling. I’ll do it later, grandma. I will. But, um, I’m actually, I’m, I’m here to see you. Me? Yeah. Uh, this is, uh, this is really awkward. Um, and I’m really sorry, but. I need to look in your shopping bag, . Why? I’m afraid you’ve been accused of shoplifting shop.

Timmons? I don’t think so.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Were you just about to cover up Tim’s poster with ours? Were you? Were you? It was an impulse. A bad one. I know, but after almost torpedoing Paulina’s entire campaign, I just wanted to do everything possible to make sure she wins. How is my future governor? Oh, I don’t know how you do this.

I’ve had butterflies all morning. I am a nervous wreck. Oh, what’s them? And you ran an excellent campaign, Paulina. You know, you did it without any major missteps or scandals and consider. The intense scrutiny that you get when you run a campaign. Well, you were pretty lucky. You have no idea. Breathe sunny, boy.

Keep that gaze forward. Not up. Alright. Oh, your palm should be directly underneath your shoulders. That’s where they are. No, they’re not. Just they are. You need to hug your elbows a little closer to your hips, bud. Keep ’em straight. There you go. And try not to be such a grump. Okay. You know why I’m a, a grmp?

It’s cuz I hate yoga. It’s never been my thing. Well, that’s because you never gave it a chance. Okay. Now we are going to transition into a downward facing dog. Hips. Raise up back, straight legs straight. Great. I’m gonna push your heels into the ground. Yep. I hate this. I hate. Oh dude, this really isn’t that hard.

You just gotta stop being so negative. Oh, oh my God. I can literally feel the tension releasing from my body. I can stay in this position all day long, baby. That’s because being a dog comes so naturally to you. You sneaky son of a bitch.

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

based on the early returns I’ve. , we’ve got a pretty good lead on my opponent. . Hey. And that is wonderful. Yeah. So any updates on your ratio? Oh, let me check. Mary. Get in here. Uh, it’s still Leo, Ms. Price. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I’m sorry. It’s gonna take me a while to get used to that. You know, Mary’s been my only assistant for so long.

Well, since I am so grateful to be gainfully employed and find you to be, although a bit diva ish, also funny as hell and smart as a whip. You can call me whatever you want. . Yeah, a bit diva ish. In a good way. Anyway, I assume you called me in here for some election updates, so mail-in ballots and early exit polling.

Have you slightly ahead of Tim ends? Yes. All right. , . You see, I told you. You did. You did. But. I don’t want to count my chickens too soon, you know? I also have some phone messages for you. There is one from your sister Tammy, one from Governor Mitch. End three. From that bch Sloan Peterson

Sloan, what’s going on babe? , don’t you play dumb with me? You duplicitous little creep. I know you took, it took what? A file. I, I, I still don’t know what you’re talking about, baby. Hold on. It had to be you because nobody else has been in my apartment. Why Alex? Why, why? I thought we were friends. Why would you betray me like this?

I wouldn’t worry about Paulina. Everybody at Canvas this morning intends to vote for her. Hey, I’m telling you she’s got this in the bag. Mm. I hope you’re right. I know I am. And after she’s declared Governor, you and I we’re gonna go out to dinner and we’re gonna celebrate on me. Really sweet Chad. Um, but I already have plans tonight.

Plans, well, I’m, um, I’m going out with Alex.

Someone accused me of shoplifting. I know, I know. It’s completely crazy. But the clerk Saxons claims that. You left without pain. So listen, if I can just look in the bag, we can clear this whole entire thing up and we can come on, we can prove that she’s wrong. Of course. Waste of time. Tad insulting. I know, but I know you’re just doing your job, darling.

So go ahead. Have a look.

It is a mink stole full. Of course. But doesn’t it look lovely and real? I assume you, you have a receipt of this right? Show him the receipt. Why would I have a receipt? Because you are the one who paid for it. No, ma’am. I did not pay for it. I thought you paid for it.

Oh.

Oh, I see you and hen did some major building. We built the Brady Pub, actually, where W Woman Works, . Yeah. Let me help you with that. How was the bakery today? Great. Um, our employees are really excited about having the rest of the day off to vote. Henry’s napping, I assume? Yep. I put him down about 15 minutes ago.

Oh, yep. Oh, oh, it’s this, this, oh. Some media outlet. They won’t interview me. So Stephanie got the questions in advance so that I could go over them. You know, it just occurred to me. You’ll be a public figure. My girlfriend’s gonna be famous. Mama has to get elected first. Didn’t Sloan Peterson come to see you once before?

Why does she keep pestering here? She tried to hit me up for a job as my in-house council. I turned her down flat, but she just can’t take hell no for an answer. uh, you know, I’ve gotta, I gotta check in with my campaign manager. So I will meet you at the square. Mm-hmm. and we’ll go vote together. Alright?

Absolutely. . Uh, so what’s next on the agenda? Mary? I mean, Leo, uh, let’s see. You have an interview in about 10 minutes. K D J Y, and in the meantime, would you like me to set up calls for those messages? I’ll get to them later, except for the ones from that witch Sloan. She can go kick rocks. Sloane, you gotta calm down.

Okay. I will not calm down when I have been lied to and betrayed and it’s so stupid of me when, because it was obviously whenever you blindfolded me and handcuffed me to the bed, oh, don’t wanna hear this. Mm-hmm. And you, you were so slick telling me that story about how your cousin, or that she put some guy in the same position or whatever so she could steal from.

Why you were doing the exact same thing to me. All right, babe, I think you’re giving a little bit too much focus and attention to this little anecdote. Okay. You saw me leave your apartment. What? What did I do? H hide the file somewhere. You think I, it was hidden. You know, I had wondered that too. And then I remembered that it was Halloween and your aunt had just so happened to come to the house with that stupid trick-or-treating little brat.

And then I thought, whoa, that must have been, whenever he gave her the file, that’s when he passed the file off. You got Aunt Maggie involved in this? Of course. I didn’t get her involved. Sloane, you got things mixed up here. You got it all wrong. No, Alex, I have it exactly right and I just hope that it was worth it because you can say goodbye to the best sex you ever.

So Al Alex asked you out to dinner. Actually, I asked him, oh,

as a plot twist. Um,

Why the, why, the change of heart? Well, because after he took that file from Sloan and he saved Pauline’s campaign as well as my job and yours, so I just, um, I wanted to, you know, show my gratitude. Do you disapprove?

I mean, I think you could probably could have just sent them a thank you card. Going out to dinner is gonna, uh, make ’em think that you’re interested in them now that you’re willing to give ’em a shot. Well, maybe I am.

Um, wow. Some of these questions are very personal. Oh yeah. Like. , your girlfriend Allie, has a young son. What is your role in his life? Let see. Ooh. Um, any plans to get married? Children of your own? Like do they really think I would give this information a perfect strangers? Well, what about giving that information to me?

So Sloane is still harass. Threatening to send in her enforcers if I don’t pay her exorbitant legal fees. That woman is trash. Ah, the worst. And look, Ms. Price. I know you said you wouldn’t give me an outright loan, but now that I’m on salary, is there any way I could get in advance just to get her off my back?

Normally I would say no, but no one deserves to be in that conniving woman’s clutches, so yes. I will give you an advance. Oh, thank God. Thank you. So just how soon can I get that advance As it happens, I have some extra cash in my safe. Uh, speaking of which, there’s something else in there that I need to dispose of.

Discreetly. Do we happen to have a shredder? We certainly do. Is this something you want me to take care of and shred for you? No, no, no. I’ll handle it myself. Now, where is that combination? Oh, what, oh, it’s time for my interviews. We’ll have to do this later. I promise you won’t forget. You have my word. No one deserves to ever have to be tethered to that vicious snake.

Okay. So was Sloan telling the truth? I mean, I wouldn’t say it was the best sex I ever had, but No, you definitely top 10. You idiot. Not about that. About you stealing from her. Oh, I wouldn’t exactly call that stealing. But yeah, I took the file. Well, what was in it? Having a clue what? You stole something without even knowing what was in it.

That doesn’t even make any sense. Alex.

Look, if I tell you something, what? You keep Ines. Okay. Stephanie asked me to. What, why? Unless you know the better sunny boy plausible deniability. The important thing is your cousin seemed very, very grateful. So you committed a crime just to score some points. Uh, no. No. She was scared and she was upset, and I hated to see her like that.

So. Besides the side benefit for this is that she does seem a little bit warmer towards me. She asked me about the dinner tonight, like on a date. Mm. Actually, I’m not so sure about that. This dinner with Alex is gonna be a date then. Well, I guess I’ve come to realize that he isn’t the jerk. I thought he was, I mean, he tanked his relationship with Sloan just to help me out.

No, that doesn’t answer my question. Right. Uh, I. I was just explaining that I’ve changed my opinion of Alex, at least somewhat, but to actually answer your question, I’m, I’m not saying that going out to dinner with him is a date. Just that I, I have an open mind. must be thrilled about your newly open mind then.

I bet. Well, if he is, he has you to thank for it. Me. What did, what did? After my ex ghosted me, which I told you about, I shut down emotionally. There was no way I was gonna let anyone else hurt me like that again. But then getting to know you, that connection we shared made me wanna open myself up again and get back out there.

And since you’re not interested, what? Who said I wasn’t?

Well, I’m glad we got that all sorted out. I am just so mortified that that clerk actually believed I meant to shoplift. Wouldn’t have been the first time though, would it? Doug. Sorry. Shouldn’t have said that. Well, the cat’s out of the bag now. The incident your grandfather is referring to happened at Bartlett’s Department Store hundreds of years ago when I was just a teenager.

Grandma, I’m not, I’m not judging you. Okay. Oh, I’m judging myself, sweetie. I’m still embarrassed about it, and the, the item that I had my hands on was very expensive. As a matter of fact, it was also a mink. Real fur in those days. Sad to say. Anyway, they hustled me down to the police station and, and threatened to book me when Grandpa Tom and Uncle Mickey came to my rescue.

What do you mean you’re holding my daughter, Julie? We’re shoplifting Dr. Horton. See you and two other girls were picked up in Bartlett’s department. Shoplifting, Julie. Right? I’d suggest you get down here just as soon as you can. Alright? I’ll be down there in 20 minutes. Will the hospital need you? Dad?

I’ll make close the door. What’s you ready? Julie’s in some kind of trouble with the police. The police, she and two other girls are being held for shoplifting. What? I’ve gotta get down there right away. Mickey, I want you to come with me. How about Ben and Addie? Have the, have the police notified them apparently.

Why not? They’re Julie’s parents. They should be the first ones to know. Julie said her name was Julie Horton, not Olsen, Horton Police think she’s my daughter. Why that crazy kid? Julie’s not crazy Mickey, but she’s in some kind of serious trouble. Now, the sooner we get down there, the quicker we can straighten it out.

Are you gonna tell mom? No. I don’t want to worry, Eric. I’ll tell her it’s a, an emergency at the hospital. You try to reach Ben and Addie while I talk to your.

Now you will call that photographer first thing in the morning. Oh, yes. All right. Now about for music. Oh, Tom, do you think that we should have an accordion player at the wedding reception or a piano? I’m holding up the Beatles or a jazz combo, but no folks, singers. I draw the line at that. Uh, shoe fly baby daddies in the corn.

I’m not at my wedding now. Tom, what do you think? Well, anything Tony and Marie want is okay with me. Look, I, I’ve gotta go downtown. Oh. Oh, that call was an emergency then. Yes. In a way, Kelly. That must have been over 50 years ago. Oh, I think more, yeah, it was 57 years ago. To this very day.

Um, let’s start with the marriage question. Oh, well, considering what happened between Johnny and me, I am in no rush to tie the knot anytime soon. That doesn’t mean I can’t see us getting married someday. Yeah, same here. You know, obviously I love being with you and I’m really happy with how things are going right now, but they’ve only been dating for like three months.

Yeah, exactly. . So I am very cool with taking things slowly. Well look at us all in sync. Yeah. . Okay, so question number two. Mm-hmm. children. Well, I do love helping you raise Henry. Does this mean that you want more children? You know, as bad as things got between Johnny and me growing up, the good times, a hundred percent made up for it.

I don’t know. I think, I think that having a sibling can be really good for a kid. Yeah. It was lonely being an only child, and I can only imagine what it would’ve been like if Lonnie had been around when I was growing up. Mm-hmm.

I guess, yeah, I, I am open and more kids, you know, a couple years ago we were partying our way through London, not a care in the world, and now here we are talking about our future, like actual full-blown adults. It is so weird. Very weird, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

When did I say I wasn’t in. You made it pretty clear to Alex yesterday when you said that there was nothing between us and there never would be. I can’t believe he told you that. He didn’t I happen to walk in when you said it? Uh, I didn’t realize that. I’m sorry. No, you don’t need to apologize. I actually like knowing where things stand.

Well, let me explain. You don’t have to. No, I really, I really do need to. I, I need to. Um, Alex accused me of having feelings for you and, and, and I just, I didn’t, the question made me uncomfortable and I didn’t know how to respond, so I just blurted that out. So are you saying you didn’t mean what you said?

Stephanie said that she wanted to thank me for helping her out, but who knows if nothing else, at least now she doesn’t think I’m complete. Maybe she’ll give us a chance. Well, I would not push it if I were you. I know, I know. I know. I gotta play cool. I know. And as much as I hate to admit it, you were right before, I shouldn’t have been hounding her like that.

I should have just backed off a little. Maybe now as a reward, the universe intervened and is bringing us closer together. Okay. Well, uh, I think the universe has bigger fish to. But that being said, I’m glad that Stephanie’s finally given you a chance. Thank you. And I’m sure as hell not going to blow at this time.

Hello, Leo, Ms. Peterson, how may I help you? I’m here to see your boss since she isn. Returning my call, so I decided to pay her a visit. Well, she’s not here, as you can clearly see. Next time I would recommend making an appointment. Oh, really? Well, next time you hire an attorney, I would recommend you expect to pay.

I’ll have your money soon. Soon. Is as bad as never in my book. No, this is legit. I swear I can have your money tomorrow. Well, tomorrow doesn’t work for me, so I guess I am just gonna have to send my associates on the job. They can be here in 10 minutes. Whoa. No, no, no. Wait. Whoa, wait, wait, wait. I, I can get your money now.

Okay.

This price was going to give me the money before she was called away. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind my taking care of this myself. She’s a big fan of initiative.

Sean Douglas, I’m so happy you decided to join us for lunch. Yeah, I think actually he was, Trying to make sure that we didn’t dine and . No. Hey, near is everybody. How are your Hey. Hello. Yourself there, Mr. Mayer? Yes, sir. , we presume that you are well on your way to, uh, happy reelection today. Well, it’s looking pretty good, , but you know, it is, it’s, it’s not over yet.

And, um, well I may not have the job for very. Uh, look between us, if Paulina wins her election, I’ll be stepping down this mayor moving to the capitol with her man. That’ll be quite a gesture, eh, Paulina, we just heard that, uh, you may be taking away our precious Abe. Maybe not. I just received some very troubling news.

Hey Alex, am I doing this right? Looks good to me. We are doggy style suits. You, Jackson. It’s called Downward Dog. You ass. And what are you doing here? Ah, I can’t believe I’m gonna say this, but I need you to get dressed. I’m here to take you out to dinner to celebrate my new job. Wow. What’s with the look? I didn’t think you were serious about that.

Oh, I never joke about dinner dates. Sunny. This isn’t just about celebrating me and my success. It’s also about celebrating you. Me. Why me? Well, thanks to your very impressive olfactory senses, you were able to identify Clyde Weston as your attacker, thereby keeping my finally toned fanny out of prison. So let a grateful gal take you out for a night on the.

I promise you won’t regret it.

Okay. Obviously there’s an attraction between us

and part of me thinks that it would be really nice to pursue that and, and to see where that. And the other part, the part you’re obviously listening to, still grieving Abigail. I’m, I’m not ready to start seeing anyone. Not in any serious way,

and I don’t. Wonder if I ever will be. So I, while I, I may have overstated things to Alex. I don’t want you to have to sit around and, and, and wait and hope that

I, I, I sound like an egomaniac right now, and I, I, I, I can’t even finish the sentence. No, no, not at all. I, I appreciate your honesty.

I am really glad. You wanna start dating again though? Even if it’s Alex, wouldn’t be my first choice. No. But if that’s who you want to date, no. Then I support you. That’s what friends do, right? Friends?

Well, alright. Uh, now that, that incredibly awkward conversation is, should we get to work? Yeah. Yeah. We should get to work. Okay.

Hmm. Troubling news, Alina, well, maybe I’m overreacting, but I just ran into Phillips who owns the of men. She told me she didn’t vote for me and that a lot of the other local business owners didn’t vote for me. Apparently they’re still angry about that whole price town business. They’re claiming I’m just a shill for big business.

Well, that’s not true. Well, true or not, this really could hurt my chances. Ms. Price, we need to talk. Well, is it about these small business owners? I’m sure Timmons is behind it, but don’t worry. I was already anticipating something like this, so I’ve got a rebuttal all set to go. I just need your approval.

Stephanie, you’re a godsend. Is there anything else we can do to help? Yes. Go and vote. Oh, well, Gary, the lady, let’s get to it. Oh.

Yeah. And I love you too, Lonnie, darling. Yeah. I said thank you. Thank you for calling and thank you for your support throughout the campaign. Yeah, you, I’m gonna hand you off to your father now, okay? Mm-hmm. . All right. Hey, hey, sweetheart. Oh yeah. This is a big day here. So how are we doing on damage control?

I think we were able to turn the narrative around in time to reach the voters. Think he was just congratulating me on avoiding any missteps over, uh, Ms. Price compared to, uh, some of the other political bombshells, the state of scene price town ranks pretty well. Hmm. Okay. Everybody, they just called my race and.

I won. Yeah.

Wow. Where are you going Out? Just out, out to dinner by yourself? No, not by. With Leo Stark. Seriously. Why? I know. Because I have been cooped up in this house ever since I got out of the hospital and I decided that I needed a night out. Okay. Even if it is with Leo Stark. Huh? And how does will feel about you going to dinner with another man?

This is not another man. Okay. Let me just say again, it’s Leo Stark. It’s your ex-husband. Oh God. You’re right. Just hearing that makes my skin crawl. Thank you for reminding me, and not that it’s any of your business, but he just wants to thank me for clearing his name for the murder. All right. Celebrate his new job.

Oh see, celebrate equals festive equals more than a friendly dinner in my book. Oh, none in mine. It’s just a meal. Hmm. And a change of scenery. I am in desperate need of, I am not. Looking for romance. Okay. Well that makes one of us. Yes it does. Because you are single and I am not. So don’t compare you going out with Stephanie.

To me, going out with Leo, because it’s not only annoying and ridiculous, it is disrespectful to me and to Will. All right, you got it. I got it. I get it. No comparison. But I will tell you this, I am hoping, and by the end of the night, I have sweated Stephanie right off her feet, okay? They’re neck and neck with only a few counties left to report.

We might not have a definitive answer tonight, I swear to the Lord above. I’ll flip my wig if I have to wait till tomorrow morning. wait. They’re calling it. You did it.

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you all. So, Very much, and I am honored that the good people of Salem have continued to support me and have found me worthy of serving another term as their mayor.

But I regret to inform you as grateful as I am that. , I intend to step down and hand the reins to my very, very capable deputy mayor. Now, I, I, I do not make this decision lightly, but as you know, my, uh, wife Paul, the price. It has just been elected our new governor.

Thank you. So I believe that it is my duty to support her with the best of my abilities, and so I will be. with her to the state Capitol. . Now that being said, it will be my pleasure to turn this microphone over to the woman of the hour. My incredible wife, Paulina Price.

Thank you. Thank you for this warm welcome and I, I can’t tell you how blessed I feel to be taking on such, such an important. , but I wouldn’t have been here without my support team, starting with my incredible campaign staff,

and of course my amazing husband, mayor Abe Carver.

Oh, as well as my two wonderful, wonderful daughters. Lonnie Price Grant and Chanel Dupree, come here baby,

who truly, truly are the wind beneath my wings. There really is nothing, nothing more important. Then

Julie.

What’s all this? It would be anniversary to you. My darling. Anniversary of what? Your life of crime. . Oh my.

By now, if you know me, you know when I commit myself to something, I fight heart and soul for it. So I look forward. To dedicating my heart and soul to the good people of this state.

Congratulations. I, uh, just heard the news. Can you believe it? I am now the executive director for the governor of the state. Do you know what this means? Getting a raise? No, it means I’m finally an A-list. Gay. Wow. Does that mean we’ll actually get a a good table tonight? It damn will better. She’s coming.
