Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Stephanie is at home on the phone, saying that Paulina has no comment and talks about believing in a person being innocent until proven guilty. She says that’s all for now and hangs up. Chad then shows up at her door and asks if she’s read The Intruder as he shows her the article titled “Another Price Daughter Arrested for Murder”. Stephanie complains that they are all sharks and they smell blood in the water.

Gwen goes to the Bakery but finds it is closed and wonders what to do now. Gwen looks at her phone and complains about trying to reach out for comment but the bakery is closed. Gwen questions how she is supposed to do a cover story on this if she can’t get in contact. Sonny then walks through the town square so Gwen approaches and introduces herself. Sonny responds that he knows who she is. Gwen brings up that his sister in law’s girlfriend was arrested for murder and unidentified sources say there is some sort of cover up going on. Gwen questions Sonny as to what Allie knows.

Allie calls Rafe and leaves a message, saying she needs to see Chanel but they say Melinda is not allowing visitors. Allie says to call her back if there’s anything he can do. Allie hangs up and then Alex shows up at her door. Alex says he heard about Chanel and thought she could use a friend. Allie hugs him.

Paulina is in her office on the phone with Belle. Paulina argues that she doesn’t care what Melinda says, she’s coming to see her daughter and remarks that she’s the Governor-elect, questioning if Melinda is going to arrest her. Belle understands where she’s coming from, but asks her to stay away as Chanel’s attorney since she and Abe need to avoid the press.

Melinda enters the interrogation room and asks Chanel if she’s ready to chat after a long night in lockup. Melinda questions if Chanel is ready to confess to murder.

Alex asks if Allie is okay. Allie says she not and complains about not being able to see Chanel after watching her get taken in to a cell last night. Allie talks about her son Henry asking about Chanel and knowing something was wrong. Allie adds that she didn’t get any sleep last night. Alex says he’s sorry. Allie doesn’t even know what this is about and questions where they could have got evidence from. Alex reveals that he knows where they got it from.

Sonny questions when Gwen became a reporter for the Spectator. Gwen responds that she’s asking the questions and asks Sonny when Will found out that his sister is dating a murderer. Sonny says no comment, especially after everything Gwen did to Chad and Abigail. Sonny remarks that she has no right to accuse anyone of anything and walks away. Gwen shouts that she’s still going to write about this. Sloan then approaches and says that maybe Sonny won’t answer Gwen’s questions, but she will.

Stephanie tells Chad that she tried to squash the story but The Intruder aren’t big on facts, integrity, or the truth. Chad says he’s well aware. Stephanie worries that their readers will believe this trash and lies. Chad acknowledges that he was a target before as The Intruder went after his one night stand with Gwen and then his alleged affair with Leo Stark, who he calls a lying rat.

Leo goes to Paulina’s office with her schedule and coffee. Paulina informs Leo that he’s fired. Leo argues that he’s the only one standing between her and the reporters outside. Paulina responds that she’ll take her chances with the press but declares that Leo is the vulture she needs to get rid of, because he’s the reason that her daughter was arrested for murder.

Melinda warns Chanel that it’s just a matter of time, so it will be better if she just confesses. Belle enters and questions what the hell is going on. Belle reminds Melinda that she can’t question her client without her present. Melinda says she was just greeting her, but says she is ready to question Chanel since Belle finally showed up. Melinda assumes Belle looked over the file of evidence they have. Belle confirms that she has and that’s why she is here to insist that she drop all the charges.

Gwen questions why she would believe a single word from Sloan. Sloan suggests she might have some insights that could be valuable to her. Gwen says no chance and brings up Sloan coaxing Leo in to lying to the police and how that obstruction of justice led to her being arrested. Sloan responds that there is no proof that she had any knowledge of her client’s true intentions and that she acted in his best interests with what she knew. Sloan adds that she is currently available for counsel. Gwen tells her to go to Hell. Sloan then reveals to Gwen that she is the one who gave the police the dirt on Chanel.

Alex informs Allie that Sloan is the one who had the evidence on Chanel and says he doesn’t know where she got it. Alex adds that Sloan is no longer his friend or anything else. Alex talks about Sloan blackmailing Paulina for some mystery client. Alex mentions having no clue about that when he stole the file from Sloan’s apartment. Allie thanks him but Alex says that Sloan somehow got the file back and gave it to Melinda.

Melinda questions why she would drop the charges when she has everything she needs to arrest Chanel in the file. Belle argues that they are in Salem and the incident in question happened when Chanel was living abroad in the UK, so Melinda doesn’t have jurisdiction here. Belle declares that she will find someone to uncuff Chanel and get her out of here. Chanel thanks her but Melinda warns that Chanel isn’t going anywhere. Melinda reveals that she received permission from Scotland Yard to question Chanel on their behalf. Belle laughs off the idea of a judge buying that but Melinda says she’s sure. Belle says they’ll see at the arraignment but until there’s a ruling, Chanel is not answering any more of her questions. Melinda says that’s fine and then asks if Belle saw Shawn at the station since they will need someone to haul in Paulina for questioning. Melinda declares that if Chanel won’t talk, maybe her Governor-elect mother will.

Leo asks Paulina to let him explain but she questions what the hell there is to explain. Paulina informs him that Stephanie told her everything, so now she knows that Leo is the one who let Sloan in to her safe. Leo argues that she left out that it was an accident and that he only opened the safe to execute her executive orders since she said he could have an advance on his salary to pay back Sloan. Leo adds that he didn’t want to interrupt her, so he opened the safe and took his advance from petty cash but he had no idea those documents were in there or that Sloan would snatch them from behind his back. Leo knows she probably wants to kill him right now. Paulina warns him not to give her any ideas.

Stephanie and Chad complain about The Intruder article. Stephanie suggests they stop focusing on the little details and focus on taking care of Paulina and her family. Stephanie declares that the question is how do they spin this.

Chanel asks what Melinda wants with her mom. Melinda responds that this file has evidence that Paulina was an accomplice after the fact and covered up the crime to cover Chanel’s ass which is illegal. Melinda thinks the people of the state should know who they elected as Governor. Melinda threatens to find someone on staff to make the arrest. Chanel then stops her and agrees to answer her questions. Belle tells her not to do this but Chanel declares that she will not let her mother pay for something that she did.

Stephanie tells Chad her idea to spin this as Melinda making it personal and being upset that she couldn’t get Lani, so she went after Paulina’s other daughter. Chad agrees that could work and calls her brilliant. Stephanie asks how to get this story to a media outlet that doesn’t do hatchet jobs. Chad mentions having an in with the only reputable newspaper in town in the Spectator. Chad adds that the Spectator hired a new reporter who is eager to make her mark in Gwen. Stephanie asks if he thinks Gwen will do him a favor. Chad admits he doesn’t know but says he’ll make it happen.

Gwen questions Sloan being the one who gave evidence against Chanel to Melinda which she admits. Gwen goes over how Sloan first tried to railroad her and now she’s going after the Governor’s daughter. Gwen accuses her of fabricating evidence and says she’ll never take her word for it. Sloan says she can just send her the file. Gwen questions her angle. Sloan says she’s just doing her duty as a good citizen and thinks the people deserve to know the truth that they just elected a mother of two murderers as Governor. Sloan tells Gwen to keep an eye out for her e-mail and walks away.

Alex assures Allie that he had no idea that what was in the file had anything against Chanel and if he did, he would’ve burned it right then. Allie understands he was just trying to help. Alex feels he ended up causing a colossal mess. Alex says he’s here for Allie to help her in any way he can. Allie thanks him and then gets a text from Rafe, saying he pulled some strings so she can see Chanel right now. Allie stops and questions what to do about Henry. Alex offers to babysit and reminds her that he’ll do whatever he can to help.

Melinda points out that Chanel said she doesn’t want her mother going down for something she did and questions if that’s an admission to guilt. Belle instructs Chanel not to answer that. Melinda says they’ll start with an easy one then. Melinda shows Chanel a photo and asks if she recognizes the woman and what her name is. Chanel identifies her as Martha Bedford and another photo of herself in college. Melinda then shows Chanel the copy of the incident report and asks if it is Chanel’s signature indicating that this is her sworn statement. Chanel confirms that it is, so Melinda asks if she is admitting to the murder of Martha Bedford. Belle stops her and says they are going to end this there. Melinda threatens to bring in Paulina if she needs to. Belle argues that Melinda can bring in anyone but this interview is over.

Paulina argues that she did not give Leo the OK to open her safe and since he took it upon himself, her daughter was arrested for murder. Leo asks if Chanel is innocent. Leo says he understands what she’s going through since he was falsely accused and he still has nightmares about it. Sloan then arrives and declares that Chanel is guilty as sin.

Gwen goes home to the Horton House and gets Sloan’s e-mail. Gwen calls it more lies and worries about getting a virus from opening it. Gwen then reads the e-mail which surprises her. Chad arrives and greets Gwen. Chad knows she just started at the Spectator and says he has a big story for her. Gwen responds that it’s not as big as the fish she just landed.

Leo complains that Sloan tricked him by plucking the file from Paulina’s safe while he was counting the money to pay her back. Leo accuses her of theft and tells Paulina to call the police so he can testify against her. Sloan points out that Leo just said his back was turned so he can’t testify. Leo retracts that statement and will testify against her. Sloan says she kept asking herself why Paulina would hire him but now it’s so clear. Paulina tells Leo to go because he’s done here. Leo says he’s just trying to help but Paulina says he’s just making things worse and tells him to get out. Leo warns Sloan that she has not seen the last of him and that she will regret messing with him in such a deceitful way. Leo then storms out of the office. Sloan remarks that another daughter made a mess and Paulina swooped in to clean it up, but all her power and money couldn’t stop it from blowing up in her face.

Alex plays with Henry until Stephanie shows up at the door.

Chanel cries that she doesn’t want her mother involved. Belle orders Chanel not to say another word. Melinda suggests she and Belle have a chat outside, so they exit the room. Melinda warns Belle not to test her as she will haul in Paulina. Belle argues that if she was going to, she would have done that already. Allie then arrives and declares that she’s there to see her girlfriend and no one is going to stop her.

Stephanie is surprised to see Alex. He explains that Allie went to see Chanel, so he offered to stay with Henry. Stephanie calls that nice of him and explains that she came to check on Allie as well and to make sure she knows what to say in case the press approaches her. Alex says it sounds like she’s on a PR mission for the Governor. Stephanie comments that she was only elected yesterday and already has a crisis, so she’s doing whatever she can to help. Alex relates to coming with that same plan and he ended up becoming the backup babysitter. Stephanie says it looks like he has everything under control on that front. Henry then starts crying so Alex goes back to him and assures that his mom will be back soon. Stephanie decides maybe she’s needed here after all and comes inside.

Melinda argues that the prisoner isn’t allowed any visitors but Allie reveals that Rafe says otherwise and presents her with his written authorization. Melinda decides she’ll have to have a word with Rafe. Belle points out that Rafe reports to the mayor, not her, so she sends Allie in to the interrogation room. Melinda calls the mayor Mr. Paulina Price and remarks that if Abe thinks he can sweep all of this under the rug too, then he’s in for a rude awakening.

Allie rushes in to the interrogation room and hugs Chanel.

Leo sits outside the Brady Pub as Sonny walks by and asks if he’s okay. Leo responds that he’s far from it and utterly miserable. Leo asks Sonny to console him. Sonny says he was just doing some early Christmas shopping for Arianna so he should probably get back. Leo calls him a great daddy and remarks that he wishes he had an adorable daddy buying him gifts, but this is going to be a scrooge year for him. Leo asks Sonny to sit for a few and promises he won’t keep him since unlike him, Sonny has a life, a job, a husband, a child, family, and friends. Leo questions why he would want to squander time trying to cheer him up. Sonny sits down and asks Leo what’s going on. Leo asks where to begin. Leo says he hates himself for being the most annoying person on the planet by all accounts and reveals his new career is over before it even began.

Paulina is not sure what Sloan is referring to. Sloan says to skip this part and mentions her assistant going to perjure himself. Paulina clarifies that Leo is no longer her assistant. Sloan declares that Paulina lied about the murder of T.R. Coates to protect Lani and now Melinda knows what Chanel did and how Paulina covered it up. Sloan states that’s two daughters, two crimes, and two cover ups, so now it’s only a matter of time before Paulina is arrested and led away in disgrace.

Chad tells Gwen that he will give her an SJ PR exclusive and asks if she’s ready for this. Chad notes that she’s distracted by her phone and questions if she’s listening to him. Chad argues that if she’s going to be a reporter, she’s going to have to pull herself off of her phone and focus on the news in front of her. Gwen reveals that she’s doing research on her new article. Gwen asks how the headline sounds “Damning evidence surfaces in Governor-elect’s criminal cover up. Chad questions her as Gwen reveals that she happens to have a copy of the evidence against Chanel and her mother. Chad asks how she got that. Gwen says a reporter never reveals her sources but since Chad seems so invested, she tells him that it came from Sloan. Chad questions Sloan giving her that. Gwen confirms that Sloan gave a copy to Melinda and a copy to her. Gwen notes that while Melinda is taking hers to the court, she will take it to the presses. Chad stops Gwen and says she can’t publish that. Gwen tells him to watch her.

Allie tells Chanel that she was so worried about her. Chanel says she’s good now that she’s here. Chanel cries that she’s sorry for what Allie must be going through. Allie says to forget about her when Chanel is the one in here and being falsely accused. Allie tells her that she and Henry miss her so much. Chanel asks about Henry, so Allie informs her that he’s home with Alex.

Alex and Stephanie put on a puppet show for Henry where their puppets end up kissing.

Sonny points out that it’s not like Leo gave Sloan the file. Leo assures that it was an accident and he would never be in cahoots with Sloan, but Paulina wouldn’t hear it and kicked him out the door like a common criminal. Leo remarks that he’ll never have his happy ending. Sonny encourages that maybe it’s not the end of the story. Leo says even though it was an accident, it was still his fault for opening the safe without Paulina’s permission. Sonny agrees that wasn’t cool. Leo says he was really turning a corner with a decent job, eating well, cutting back on drinking, and trying to be a good person but then he blew it. Sonny points out that Leo didn’t mean to hurt anyone this time. Leo guesses that he’s so used to crossing lines that he doesn’t even see them when they are right in front of him.

Chad tells Gwen that the allegations haven’t been proven yet and that Abigail would tell her that she needs multiple reliable sources so she can’t print it until she can verify it. Gwen appreciates the crash course in journalism 101 but says she’s good and thinks the documents that Sloan sent seem legitimate if they are good enough for Melinda. Chad says he would go to Jack, but he’s focused on Jennifer right now. Chad begs Gwen not to publish this. Gwen asks for a reason why not to. Chad reminds her that Jack trusted her and gave her this chance. Chad says Gwen helping get Jennifer the help she needed shows that she’s trying to be a better person. Chad urges her to keep that going instead of doing Melinda’s dirty work. Chad adds that Gwen knows from experience that Sloan can’t be trusted, so she has to decide which side she wants to be on.

Paulina asks why Sloan is doing this. Sloan argues that she broke their deal. Paulina says she stole the file and Sloan stole it back so all is fair in love and politics, but since they were back at square one, she would’ve paid her what she wanted and now she got nothing. Paulina argues that by giving the file to Melinda, Sloan lost all her leverage. Paulina remarks that her client must be thrilled that Sloan cost them a ton of money. Sloan guesses that since everything is out in the open now, she’ll let her in on a secret that this was never about the money.

Leo complains that he had an amazing opportunity and he blew it which is what he’s best at. Leo notes that he had a job with a decent salary and access to power. Sonny tells Leo that he’s really sorry and invites Leo to join him for breakfast at the Brady Pub. Leo says he’d love to but he’s poor. Sonny points out that Leo bought him dinner last time, so he owes him one. Leo questions if Sonny really wants to be seen with the disgraced former assistant to the Governor. Sonny doesn’t care what people think and notes that Leo looks like he could use a friend. Leo questions if they are friends now. Sonny says they’ll just start with breakfast.

Alex puts Henry to sleep and tells Stephanie that their puppet show must have knocked him out. Stephanie brings up that their date the other night didn’t end the way a date is supposed to. Alex asks how that is and says they make such a good team. Alex asks what else they should possibly do. Stephanie suggests maybe they should kiss.

Gwen agrees to go with Chad’s story and not publish the file, until she can verify it’s true. Gwen adds that she hopes it’s not true, so that she can write the story she’d prefer to write, trashing Sloan and Melinda.

Sloan tells Paulina that this wasn’t about a payout and has always been about payback. Paulina questions her mystery client never wanting a check. Paulina declares no more games and questions who her client was. Paulina demands Sloan tell her now or else one of them is going to leave the room in a world of hurt. Sloan then reveals that there was no client and the one who wanted payback was her.

Belle questions why Melinda is so hellbent on punishing Chanel and why she lets her personal feelings and need to be vindicated get her like this. Melinda argues that it’s her professional obligation as she has evidence that Chanel committed murder and got away with it. Belle disagrees with the evidence. Melinda warns that Belle is just prolonging the inevitable because Chanel is going down and so is Paulina.

Allie tells Chanel that this is all so crazy as they are saying she killed someone. Allie says she knows her better than anyone and there is no way that she could do anything like that. Chanel tells Allie that she’s so sorry but she’s wrong because she did kill someone.

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.

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 Update

Update written by Joseph

At the DiMera Mansion, Tony paces in the living room and questions EJ deciding not to pay the ransom for Susan. EJ tells him to calm down and assures that he’s handling it. Tony complains that EJ is handling it by committing a major felony of his own.

Ava hugs Steve as he promises her that he’s going to bring Tripp home safe and sound. Kayla then comes home and sees Ava hugging Steve.

Xander walks past the Brady Pub and calls Ava, leaving a message questioning why she’s not picking up. Xander says he tried to be patient but she obviously didn’t have a plan B when EJ didn’t pay up to get his mother back. Xander adds that he’s had some complications on his end so she needs to wrap this up right now before his wife finds out what he’s done for Ava.

At the hospital, Jada announces that she is pregnant. Eric asks if she’s sure. Sarah confirms that is what the test indicates. Jada argues that it’s not possible since they used birth control. Sarah points out that it’s not 100% effective. Sarah assumes this is a complication.

In a hospital waiting room, Rafe questions Nicole saying she wants to be with Eric when a few hours ago, she adamantly denied it. Nicole tells him that she’s so sorry. Rafe asks why she married him. Nicole responds that she loved him and admits she still has feelings for him. Rafe cuts her off and tells her to stop humoring him and tell him the damn truth. Rafe asks if Nicole regretted getting involved with him when she realized she could get Eric back. Rafe declares that he was just a substitute for her real love. Nicole tells him that she feels terrible because he doesn’t deserve this since he was so good to her. Rafe stops her and doesn’t want to hear her try to absolve her feelings of guilt. Rafe shouts that he doesn’t give a damn anymore and just wants the truth. Nicole cries that she understands. Rafe repeats that Nicole told him just a few hours ago that she didn’t have feelings for Eric and swore to it. Nicole claims she meant it at the time but things changed. Rafe questions her expecting him to believe that she just now had these feelings since a couple hours ago. Rafe declares that these feelings for Eric aren’t new which she admits. Rafe brings up that they got married in June and asks if Nicole wanted to be with Eric then. Rafe then guesses it was before they even said their vows as it was the moment that Eric came back to town. Nicole admits she was confused when Eric came back to town and she was affected in ways she didn’t expect, but she insists she wanted to be with Rafe forever when they said their vows. Nicole asks him not to erase that. Rafe asks why not since she just did. Rafe declares that he wasn’t the one and she knew it. Rafe wishes he had known it.

Sarah tells Jada and Eric to forget that she said it was a complication as it’s none of her business. Sarah decides to let them talk. Jada asks if the test could be wrong. Sarah confirms the tests are very accurate but offers to run it again if she wants. Sarah then exits the room to let them talk. Eric tells Jada that he doesn’t know where to start or even what to say. Jada says she doesn’t either and says if only this was a happy surprise, but those are rare these days unlike unhappy surprises.

Steve greets Kayla and thought she was working late. Ava clarifies that he was just comforting her. Kayla assures that she’s not threatened but she does wonder why Ava is here since Tripp told them that she was moving to Seattle because of some problem she was having with EJ. Ava declares that EJ doesn’t get to tell her where to go or what to do.

EJ tells Tony that kidnapping Tripp was a solid defensive maneuver and asks what else he was supposed to do when Ava kidnapped his mother. Tony suggests paying the ransom and warns EJ not to play games with Ava because she’s dangerous. Tony wants EJ to swallow his pride and just wire the funds, but EJ tells him to trust him on this as he has no doubt that Susan is safer because of what he’s done.

Xander has a drink at the Brady Pub. Gwen appears at the table next to him and asks if he’s having a bad day. Xander admits he didn’t see her there. Gwen says it was obvious by the way he barged in that he needed that drink. Xander responds that he’s just unwinding and asks what she’s doing here. Gwen informs him that she’s working as it’s her first day at the Spectator and it’s a hell of a day to start since Paulina got elected and Chanel got arrested for murder which shocks Xander. Gwen questions him not knowing since the whole town is buzzing over it. Xander tells her that he’s been busy as it’s his first day at work too. Gwen asks if he’s finally gainfully employed. Xander claims that he is. Gwen tells him to tell her everything.

Kayla tells Ava that it sounds like a big problem with EJ. Ava doesn’t want to talk about EJ and says to forget him. Steve tells Ava that he said he would help her, but he’s not going to keep his wife in the dark which Kayla questions. Ava decides Steve is going to have to explain it because she has to take care of something. Ava reminds Steve that she’s counting on him. Steve says he will keep her posted as she exits. Kayla questions Steve as to what is going on. Steve reveals that Tripp has been kidnapped and shows Kayla the photo.

EJ tells Tony that he has Ava’s son and that’s checkmate. EJ declares that Ava will soon realize that and it will all be over. Tony notes that he seems awfully confident and asks how negotiations have been since kidnapping Tripp. Tony points out that Ava has gone radio silent. EJ tells him to just give her time. Tony warns that a mother desperate to save her son doesn’t need time. EJ argues that Ava is just trying to prove that she’s tough. Tony suggests Ava cares more about the money than the welfare of her son. Tony notes that he knows EJ thinks he has the winning hand but warns that it’s possible that what he’s done has brought him that much closer to losing his mother.

Xander tells Gwen that the company is called Rednax. Gwen calls it exciting. Xander says a job is a job and he needed the money since he was buried under debt at the Salem Inn and Sarah is still on probation with reduced salary. Xander finishes his drink and orders another. Gwen calls it funny as she never remembers Xander being interested in pharmaceuticals and companies like that usually hire people experienced in the field. Xander says he has tons of potential and is a hard worker. Gwen points out that he is an experienced con artist. Gwen then reveals that she searched the internet for this company and can’t find a thing, as if it doesn’t exist. Xander argues that it’s a brand new start up. Gwen says there should be some mention of it either way but there isn’t. Gwen questions why Xander is lying about his job.

Nicole cries that she wants to be honest with Rafe, but it’s complicated. Rafe tells her to give it her best shot. Nicole explains that when she accepted Rafe’s proposal, she wanted more than anything to be his wife but that was before she knew Eric left the priesthood. Rafe guesses he was right that she regretted getting engaged from the moment he put the ring on her finger. Rafe calls their marriage a farce from the beginning.

Eric questions Jada getting another unhappy surprise today. Jada responds that finding out she’s pregnant is the last thing she expected, but the timing is really hitting her which Eric questions. Jada asks Eric not to pretend and reveals that she saw him an hour ago, kissing his ex-wife. Jada explains that she went to Basic Black to look for him and there he was in a very passionate kiss with Nicole. Jada guesses shooting that magazine cover stirred up old feelings for them. Jada asks if he was planning to tell her. Eric says he was going to but then Rafe called to tell him that she fainted. Jada says now they know why. Jada adds that it’s been very obvious to her for awhile that Nicole has very strong feelings for him, but it wasn’t until she saw them kissing today and she can see the look in his eyes now, that his feelings for Nicole are just as strong. Jada tells Eric to just admit that he wants to be with Nicole, despite them and Nicole’s marriage.

Rafe holds back tears as Nicole tells him that she won’t call their marriage a farce. Nicole says she loved him on their wedding day and still loves him now. Rafe says it’s just not enough. Rafe reminds Nicole of when they had a fight a few weeks ago and he asked her if she rushed in to marrying him because she was afraid of her feelings for Eric, but she said no. Rafe guesses that wasn’t true. Nicole states that her and Eric were over for a long time as she felt neglected by him and he felt guilty for not putting her first, so they were never in sync. Rafe argues that they were in love and that’s the point he’s trying to make. Rafe accuses Nicole of using him as a convenient way to get over Eric like an escape. Rafe tells her to just admit it, so she does. Nicole cries that she’s so sorry.

Xander questions Gwen being convinced that he’s lying. Gwen insists that she knows him and guesses it’s why he’s drinking. Xander calls it a stressful day. Gwen believes Xander needs a job, but there isn’t really a job out there for a man of his talents and the pressure is on for him to provide for his new wife. Gwen guesses Xander is trying to make it look like he’s putting in 8 hours of work until he goes home. Xander argues that she thinks she’s so clever, but he is working. Xander then admits that the job he took is a bit illegal.

Kayla is shocked to learn that Tripp has been kidnapped. Steve explains that Ava came over to tell him and all they have to go on is the photo, so he guesses that Tripp is not far from his apartment in Seattle. Kayla tells him that she’s so sorry and questions who would want to do this or what they could want from Tripp. Steve says he doesn’t know but reveals that it looks like EJ is behind it. Kayla calls him a son of a bitch and declares that she’ll kill him herself.

EJ calls Ava and leaves a message, saying he’s concerned that he hasn’t heard back from her on his latest negotiation. EJ says surely they can get things going since they each have something the other wants. EJ warns that it’s not in her best interest to ignore him. Ava then arrives at the DiMera Mansion and declares that EJ is going to wish he just paid up as she calls him a miserable son of a bitch. EJ questions where his mother is. Ava asks where her son is. Ava argues that EJ lost his advantage when he kidnapped Tripp as she has as much on him as he has on her. Ava says she makes him nervous and asks if he’s not used to squaring off with someone when the odds aren’t in his favor. Ava declares that EJ has met his match and it scares the hell out of him.

Steve stops Kayla and says his first instinct was also to confront EJ but that’s not the safe move when Tripp’s safety is their priority. Kayla doesn’t understand why EJ would do this. Steve explains that EJ threatened Ava to get her to leave Salem, but she came back, so he guesses this is EJ’s way of making good on the threat. Kayla asks about Joey. Steve confirms he’s fine as they talked and apparently they covered their bases by telling Joey that Tripp was going camping, but he thinks they should let him keep thinking that for now. Kayla still doesn’t get why EJ would involve Tripp in this if his problem is with Ava. Kayla thinks there is something that Ava isn’t telling him.

Gwen is shocked to learn that Xander is working for Ava as he warns her to keep her voice down. Gwen remarks that at least now she knows where Ava went after she turned her down. Gwen explains that Ava showed up when she was in the hospital, asking her to get revenge on EJ. Sarah then arrives at the Pub and says she didn’t expect to see them there. Gwen tells her that they just bumped in to each other. Xander explains that after Sarah got called in to work, Victor and Maggie’s dinner fell apart and he didn’t feel like calling it a night yet so he came here for a drink. Gwen comments that Xander has been filling her in on his new job and calls it fascinating as she remarks that she’s sure there’s things he hasn’t even told Sarah about yet.

Eric admits to Jada that he’s been in denial about his feelings for Nicole for awhile. Jada asks if he means the entire time they were together. Eric insists that he believed he and Nicole were done regardless of his feelings since she was married, so he needed to accept it and move on with his life. Jada guesses that’s when he got involved with her. Eric calls her an incredible woman. Jada complains that she’s not incredible enough to make him forget about Nicole. Eric thought he could go in to a new relationship and give the best of himself no matter what he felt for Nicole, but he couldn’t and he’s sorry. Jada orders Eric to get out.

Nicole tells Rafe that she knows it has to hurt. Rafe stops her and tells her to just walk away. Nicole refuses to go until he understands that she loved him. Nicole swears that she thought committing to him would be the end of her feelings for Eric once and for all and the beginning of a lifetime of loving Rafe. Rafe tells her nice try. Nicole doesn’t blame him for hating her or if he wants to cut her out of his life forever, but she wants him to know that she meant every word of her vows and she wanted them to be the last vows she ever said. Rafe doesn’t buy it and asks when wedding vows ever meant anything to her. Nicole calls that unfair while Rafe argues that marriage is just a game to her. Nicole calls that untrue but Rafe brings up that Victor, Lucas, and EJ would disagree. Nicole asks him not to do this. Rafe says he’s just telling it like it is, since Nicole is who she is. Rafe points out that Nicole even cheated on Eric, the love of her life, with Xander of all people. Nicole tells him to stop but Rafe refuses and asks how long she’s been cheating on him with Eric. Nicole argues that she hasn’t been cheating. Nicole then admits that she and Eric kissed today but it just happened and wasn’t planned. Nicole says that she and Rafe had a fight and they were just in the moment. Rafe concludes that she just did what she wanted to do for months. Rafe asks what happened next and if it led to the conference table. Nicole assures they stopped right away and talked. Rafe asks if they talked about how much they wanted each other even though Eric’s got a girlfriend and Nicole has a husband. Nicole confirms they acknowledged their feelings for each other and what they have been suppressing for months now. Rafe asks if they came up with a plan on how to break up with him and Jada as quick as possible so they can get back to their feelings. Rafe declares that Nicole got what she wanted and clearly in the end, that’s all that matters to her.

Gwen tells Sarah that she was quite shocked to hear about the work Xander is doing. Sarah asks why. Gwen responds that pharmaceuticals is not something she thought Xander was interested in and she didn’t know he was qualified to work in that field but they know what a hard worker he is and his work ethic, so they are very lucky to have him. Sarah states that she’s very proud of him. Sarah then gets a call from the hospital and steps away to answer. Xander tells Gwen that he thought she was going to tell Sarah everything and asks why she didn’t. Gwen supposes it’s honor amongst thieves. Gwen adds that despite everything that’s happened, she still cares about him. Gwen says as much as she’d love to bust up he and Sarah, she doesn’t have it in her to hurt him like that. Xander thanks her. Gwen tells Xander that he’s free to go about with Ava’s bidding, but as someone who dodged that bullet, all she can say is best of luck to him.

Steve tells Kayla that he’s sure Ava is holding something back but she didn’t admit it. Kayla decides they can deal with that later as Tripp comes first. Steve says he’s getting on the first flight to Seattle but Kayla declares that he better make sure there’s two seats, because she’s coming with him. Steve says no but Kayla argues that he’s not going up against EJ alone.

EJ tells Ava to wake up and give him back his mother, because she doesn’t want to see what happens if she says no. Ava tells him to give her Tripp first and then they will discuss what it will cost him to get Susan back. EJ remarks that he won’t be strong-armed by a piece of trash. Ava questions EJ threatening her and bullying her. EJ accuses her of committing fraud and using his son, pointing out that she would be in prison right now if not for his compassion. Ava warns EJ not to piss her off or she will call her associate and have him put a bullet in Susan’s head. EJ then grabs Ava and starts choking her until Tony separates them. EJ shouts that she’s lucky that Tony was there, or else she would’ve ended up in the Crypt next to her fake husband.

Steve tells Kayla that EJ being behind this is not a reason to come with him but why she should stay home. Kayla says there’s no chance. Steve says he’ll call John so he won’t do it alone. Kayla argues that he can’t put John on the spot like that since he needs to be there for Marlena after she got out of the hospital. Steve doesn’t know what he’s walking in to and refuses to put her at risk. Kayla reminds him that she came to the rescue in Hong Kong when he was brainwashed. Steve argues that Kayla just got out of the hospital too. Kayla insists that she’s perfectly fine now and is not going to stay behind while her stepson is in grave danger. Kayla says she loves Tripp and if Steve is going to walk in to danger to save his life, then she’s going to be there to have his back. Steve guesses there’s no arguing. Kayla agrees and says to go pack.

Jada tells Eric to go find Nicole and says she’ll be fine. Eric points out that they haven’t talked. Jada responds that she doesn’t know what she’s going to do about the pregnancy but it’s not his problem. Eric argues that he cares about her and this pregnancy, so they need to figure this out. Jada asks what there is to figure out since he told her who he wants to be with and questions what else there is to say. Eric says if she’s trying to give him an easy way out, he doesn’t want it. Eric declares that they need to make decisions together about this baby together and he wants to be there for her as he’s not just going to walk away. Jada says fine but they aren’t going to come up with any answers tonight. Jada adds that she’s exhausted so she needs to close her eyes and regroup. Jada tells Eric again to just go, so he exits.

Nicole removes her wedding ring and gives back to Rafe, admitting that she shouldn’t have accepted his ring or his love because she didn’t deserve it or him. Nicole cries that Rafe deserves someone who is worthy of him and it’s not her. Nicole adds that she did everything wrong in this marriage while he did everything right. Rafe says except that he wasn’t Eric. Nicole then leaves the room in tears. Rafe cries while holding the ring. Rafe then leaves the ring behind on the table as he exits the room.

Jada lays in her hospital room while holding back tears.

Eric comes out of Jada’s room and finds Nicole. Nicole hugs him as he asks if she’s okay. Nicole informs him that she was just with Rafe and she told him everything. Nicole says it was awful but it’s done. Nicole then asks how Jada is.Eric reveals that Jada is pregnant, shocking Nicole.

Steve and Kayla pack their bags as Steve notes that if they make the flight, they’ll be in Seattle in 5 hours. Kayla asks about Stephanie and how she’s going to wonder why they just disappeared. Steve says with everything going on with Paulina, this is the last thing Stephanie needs to worry about. Kayla says she’ll call Stephanie and tell her they went out of town for a few days. Steve agrees that they will tell Joey and Stephanie everything after they rescue Tripp.

EJ orders Ava to leave and go assess her options until she realizes she has none. EJ screams at Ava to get out. Ava warns EJ to get his money together because she’s running out of patience. Ava remarks that if worse comes to worst, she can always send him a lock of Susan’s hair so that he has something to remember her by. Ava then exits and Tony holds EJ back as he throws a glass, smashing it against the door. EJ screams that she has no idea who she is dealing with. Tony says this has to end now and argues that he’s trying to help EJ face reality. Tony warns that Ava is unbalanced. Tony tells EJ to pay Ava off before something happens that he can’t control.

Sarah finishes her call and goes back to Xander while Gwen sits at the bar. Sarah tells Xander that everything is fine at the hospital so Xander offers to buy her a drink. Sarah instead suggests they go to Julie’s Place for a late dinner where he can tell her all about his first day. Xander agrees so they get up to leave when Gwen says to call her if he wants to talk which Sarah questions. Gwen explains that she’s working at the Spectator now so she told Xander she could write an article about his new company since start ups need all the publicity they can get. Gwen calls it her way of making amends of things. Xander thanks her but says that won’t be necessary as he then exits with Sarah.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

After Maggie tells Xander and Sarah that Bonnie went to the gardening shed, Xander gets worried and questions what the hell she’s doing down there.

Bonnie goes to the gardening shed and finds Susan tied up and gagged. Bonnie questions who did this to her.

Ava reveals that she was sent a photo of Tripp tied up and gagged while held at gunpoint with a message from EJ that says “You took my mother, I took your son.”

Steve is on the phone with Kayla at the Brady Pub. Steve talks about Kayla working late. Steve mentions Roman telling him all about his new fishing rod. Steve tells Kayla that he’s just going to have a beer and head home as they hang up. Steve then sees Rafe at a table and greets him, noting he hasn’t seen him in a long time. Steve offers to join Rafe but Rafe doesn’t think he’d be very good company. Steve asks what’s going on. Rafe says nothing good.

Eric and Nicole kiss in the Basic Black office as Jada shows up in the doorway and sees them.

Bonnie works on untying Susan, who at first thinks she is Adrienne before realizing that she’s Justin’s new wife, Bonnie. Bonnie says she just found her on coincidence while Susan insists the Lord sent her as he works in mysterious ways. Bonnie asks Susan who did this to her. Susan tells her it was a bad clown.

Ava tries calling Tripp but it goes to voicemail. Her vision of Charlie guesses EJ wasn’t kidding. Ava declares that EJ’s going to find out that he messed with the wrong Vitali. Ava calls EJ and leaves a message, warning that if he lays a finger on her son, she will kill him. Charlie remarks that it’s nice to see Ava cares about one of her sons. Ava questions Charlie complaining when EJ could kill Tripp. Charlie responds that he thinks EJ definitely bested her and she had it coming.

Steve asks Rafe if he’s not jumping the gun since Eric took pictures of Nicole for work and that doesn’t mean something is going on. Rafe insists that there is. Rafe says it’s not just the photoshoots and that ever since Eric came back to town, there’s been this pull between he and Nicole. Steve asks if he’s sure he’s not just being possessive. Rafe talks about how he keeps finding them in each others’ arms and there’s always an excuse. Steve understands why it’s not ideal for his wife to be working with her ex but that doesn’t mean the explanations aren’t true since they are good friends. Rafe believes that Eric and Nicole are and will always continue to be more than friends. Rafe talks about Eric and Nicole’s messy divorce and how Eric took off then came back and Nicole hired him so they could work together and be together because they never stopped loving each other.

Jada walks away in tears after seeing Eric and Nicole kissing before they see her. Eric stops and asks what they are doing. Nicole responds that it’s what they’ve been wanting to do for months.

Charlie remarks that it looks like Tripp isn’t getting out of this anytime soon as Ava gets a text from EJ, telling her to release Susan and he will release Tripp. Charlie points out that EJ doesn’t waste any time. Ava says she has to call Xander but Charlie tells her that she doesn’t want to do that.

Maggie offers drinks while they wait for Bonnie. Xander gets a text and says it’s an emergency at work so he has to go call in and rushes out. Maggie questions an emergency at this time of night while Sarah says who knows what it could be but calls it a good sign that they need him.

Susan tells Bonnie about the clown being in disguise so she couldn’t tell who the kidnapper was. Bonnie asks why someone would want to kidnap her. Susan says she doesn’t know but the man has a boss. Susan questions where they are. Bonnie tells her that they are at the Kiriakis garden shed. Susan questions why she’s down here at this time of night. Bonnie explains that she came to get lanterns for Maggie and Victor’s anniversary. Bonnie struggles with trying to untie Susan as Xander then returns in the clown mask and startles them.

Steve asks Rafe if he’s spoken to Nicole about this pull between her and Eric. Rafe confirms that he did tonight and she denied it but she just doesn’t want to admit it. Rafe states that Nicole doesn’t want to feel this way, but she just does. Steve knows it’s hard but suggests Rafe just trust her. Rafe calls that great advice and admits it’s exactly what he said to Jada. Steve asks if Jada thinks Eric and Nicole are pulled. Rafe responds that she certainly gives every indication that she believes that, because every time she sees Eric and Nicole together, she finds a way to tell him all about it. Steve asks if he thinks Jada is serious about Eric. Rafe responds that he doesn’t know. Rafe doesn’t know her that well but he thinks Jada thinks it’s serious since she always talks about Eric being God’s gift to the world. Rafe remarks that he’s pretty sure Eric feels that way. Steve notes that Jada has a tough exterior but she is young with a new job in a new town. Steve and Rafe hope this thing doesn’t end in tears.

Eric tells Nicole that they haven’t been fighting this for months and they just lost their heads for a moment. Nicole argues that she didn’t and she kissed him because she wanted to and she’s wanted to for awhile now, every time she’s seen him and every time she fights it, it gets stronger. Nicole tells Eric that she wants him and she thinks he wants her too. Eric reminds her that they were married so they will always be attracted to one another. Nicole calls this more than an attraction and says she feels the same about him now as she did when they were married. Nicole questions if Eric can honestly say there’s not a lot more to it. Eric brings up the day that Nicole and Rafe got married and Eric was at her doorstep when they got home. Eric reveals that he was there because he wanted to tell her how he felt about her. Eric says after Abe and Paulina’s wedding, it seemed like they should just talk but then he found out Nicole and Rafe got married, so he felt his feelings didn’t matter anymore. Nicole says that’s not true. Eric calls it fine that she’s with Rafe and he’s with Jada. Nicole argues that Eric and Jada is not what they have and insists that Jada knows that. Eric questions if she’s saying that he should break up with Jada and she should break up with Rafe to just let the chips fall where they may. Eric points out that he and Jada haven’t made any promises and are just getting to know each other, but Nicole is married and that really matters.

Steve tells Rafe that he’s not saying he’s right or wrong, but he thinks he needs to tell Nicole how he’s feeling. Rafe says he did. Steve argues that Rafe asked Nicole how she’s feeling but he needs to tell her what he just told him. Rafe admits that’s not the advice he expected from him. Steve talks about the ups and downs that he and Kayla have had over the years. Steve knows you can’t solve a problem by ignoring it. Rafe says point taken so Steve suggest changing the subject by talking abuot the Cubs. Jada then enters the Pub so they greet her. Steve asks if she’s okay. Jada says she has some work things to go over with Rafe, so Steve decides to leave them to it. Steve tells Rafe to hang in there and says goodnight to Jada as he then exits the Pub. Jada sits down, so Rafe asks her what’s going on.

Charlie questions if Ava is going to let EJ get away with this and give up $20 million. Ava responds that she doesn’t care about the money, she only cares about Tripp. Charlie argues that EJ is bluffing and isn’t going to hurt Tripp. Charlie warns that if Ava gives Susan up, she gives up any leverage she has. Ava asks what she is supposed to do then. Charlie instructs her to do nothing. Ava asks what if he’s wrong and EJ does hurt Tripp. Charlie argues that this is how EJ wants her to react. Ava argues that this is her son they are talking about. Charlie talks about how Ava kidnapped EJ’s mother but he didn’t fall apart, he regrouped and went for the juggular because he’s ruthless. Charlie tells Ava that is how she needs to be now and they both know she’s up for that. Charlie asks if Ava is going to beat EJ at his own game or cave like a house of cards.

Xander in the clown mask orders Bonnie to get away from Susan. Bonnie refuses and grabs a rake to fend him off. Xander warns that she doesn’t want him to lose his temper.

Victor joins Maggie and Sarah in the living room. Maggie tells Victor that Xander has a brand new job. Sarah explains to Victor how Xander got a job as an executive with a pharmaceutical start up company “Rednax” and how he’s in charge of upper management. Victor questions why he’s never heard of it.

Xander ties up Bonnie, who complains that this isn’t going to work. Xander then puts a gag on Bonnie and orders her to shut up.

Ava decides she’s going to call someone who can make this all go away. Ava calls Steve and says she needs to see him as it’s an emergency. Charlie remarks that now she’s playing the game.

Rafe asks Jada if something is going on at the station. Jada says not exactly. Rafe notes that something is bothering her. Jada responds that she just saw Eric and Nicole at Basic Black. Rafe mentions being there when Eric showed up. Rafe explains that he went to talk to Nicole about the pictures that Jada told him about and it turned in to another big fight. Jada says she’s sorry. Rafe says it turns out that he was all ticked off about Nicole modeling for Eric but it only got better from there as it turns out Nicole was going to be in pictures with Eric on the cover of Bella Magazine which shocks Jada. Jada says no wonder they got in a big fight. Jada says that she’s tired. Rafe comments that she obviously feels the same way he does about this whole thing. They get up from the table but then Jada faints in to Rafe’s arms.

Nicole tells Eric that she and Rafe have been fighting so much lately and she hates it because she knows the kind of man Rafe is and he just wants to know the truth. Nicole says part of Rafe knows that she’s keeping something from him. Nicole cries that the last thing she wants to do is hurt Rafe since she does love him and it should be a good marriage, but it’s not. Nicole complains that Rafe was so right that she married him so that she could forget about Eric and calls that a horrible thing to do to him. Nicole admits that Rafe deserves so much better. Eric brings up the way he treated her when they were married and questions what kind of man would marry her and then run for the hills. Eric says he lives with regret and he’s sorry. Nicole remarks that they really screwed things up but after all that, she still loves him and thinks she always will. Nicole says she had to say this to him, but if he doesn’t want to be with her, it will hurt but she’ll accept it. Nicole declares that no matter what, she needs to end things with Rafe because it’s not fair to treat him as a consolation prize. Nicole cries that every time she looks at Rafe, all she can think about is being with Eric. Eric responds by kissing Nicole and hugs her as she cries.

Bonnie manages to get the gag off and starts screaming for help. Susan argues that no one can hear her. Bonnie brings up that Maggie knew she was coming down here so sooner or later, someone’s going to find them.

Victor remarks that Rednax sounds made up to him. Sarah questions him never hearing of it. Xander walks in and asks how he could have when it’s a start up. Victor comments that 90% of start-ups fail. Maggie tells him to stop that now. Victor then adds that most of those failures didn’t have Xander Cook in key management. Xander remarks that it’s his faith in him that keeps him going. Xander wishes Maggie a Happy Anniversary. Sarah asks Xander about the emergency. Xander says it’s all taken care of. Sarah then gets a message from the hospital and says now it’s her turn. Xander argues that it’s her day off. Sarah points out that the hospital is really understaffed. Sarah wishes Maggie and Victor a Happy Anniversary and apologizes as she exits. Maggie decides it will just be the four of them for dinner then. Xander suggests just calling the whole thing off but Maggie insists that Victor and Xander are going to have dinner and work out their differences. Victor declares let the healing begin. Maggie wonders what’s keeping Bonnie and says she should’ve been back by now. Victor jokes that maybe she’s been abducted by aliens. Maggie decides she’s going to go look for Bonnie.

Ava goes to see Steve at his home and thanks him for seeing her. Steve questions what’s going on. Steve mentions that Tripp told him that EJ forced her to leave town. Ava responds that he did but she came back because she doesn’t like being pushed around. Ava adds that EJ found out that she broke the deal. Steve asks if he threatened to send her to prison. Ava reveals that it’s much worse than that as she shows Steve the photo of Tripp tied up at gunpoint.

Nicole asks Eric if she should go. Eric says no. Nicole tells him that he knows what that means if she stays. Eric thinks they both know what it means. Nicole asks about Jada. Eric says it’s like her and Rafe, he has to do the right thing as he can’t stay with Jada when his heart belongs to someone else. Nicole says as angry as she was with him, she never stopped loving him. Eric kisses her. They promise this time they are not going to screw it up. They kiss until Eric gets a call from Rafe. Eric answers and asks what’s going on. Rafe tells Eric that he’s at the hospital and he has to get down there because it’s Jada.

Steve talks to Joey on the phone and claims everything is fine and he just wanted to check in with him. Steve hangs up and informs Ava that Tripp told Joey that he was going camping. Steve notes that it looks like the picture is in Tripp’s apartment in Seattle, so he doesn’t think EJ would take him much further than that. Steve argues that it doesn’t make sense if EJ is just mad at her for coming back to town and says kidnapping Tripp is overkill and way too risky. Steve questions what Ava did. Ava says nothing. Steve says he doesn’t believe her but he doesn’t have time to drag it out of her. Steve declares that he’s going to get EJ to release Tripp and then he’s going to shove his teeth down his throat. Ava stops Steve and says he cannot go talk to EJ. Steve questions why the hell not.

Bonnie screams for help and then remembers she had her phone, but guesses it fell out of her pocket.

Maggie wonders if Bonnie fell and decides she’s going to check on her but Victor says no because it’s dark out and suggests Xander go instead. Xander then points out that Maggie’s phone just went off so Maggie checks her phone and sees a text from Bonnie’s phone, claiming something came up with Mimi so she’s on her way to Chicago. Maggie says at least they know she’s alright. Maggie declares that it looks like it will just be the three of them. Xander says absolutely not since it’s their anniversary and he’d just be a third wheel. Maggie disagrees and Victor asks him to stay but Xander tells them to have a nice, romantic dinner. Xander says he and Sarah will be in touch soon to set something up. Maggie stops Xander and suggests Victor congratulate Xander on his new job, so he does. Xander thanks Victor and tells him to have a lovely dinner. Maggie decides to walk Xander out. Maggie comments that at least he broke the ice. Xander thanks her for trying. Maggie assures that Victor will come around and says even if the night didn’t turn out as planned, things are starting to look up for he and Sarah.

Eric arrives at the hospital and asks Rafe about Jada. Rafe informs him that Sarah is examining her now and explains that they were at the Pub talking and she just fainted. Sarah comes out and tells them that Jada is much better as she’s alert and talking. Eric questions why Jada fainted. Sarah guesses it’s low blood sugar since Jada said she hadn’t eaten today but they took samples and should have answers soon. Eric asks if he can see her so Sarah agrees to take Eric to Jada’s hospital room. Nicole then arrives and sees Rafe.

Maggie and Victor sit together. Victor admits he’s not disappointed since he wants her all to himself on their anniversary. Victor calls marrying her the best thing to ever happen to him. Victor declares that they are lucky which Maggie agrees with.

Xander puts his clown mask back on and returns to the gardening shed to check on Susan and Bonnie. Bonnie reminds Xander that people know she’s there. Xander informs her that it turns out that she sent Maggie a text that she’s been called away on a family emergency as he shows her the text he sent from her phone. Bonnie asks if he’s going to keep them there forever. Xander responds that as soon as Susan’s son pays up, they’ll both be out of here and hopefully that will be any moment now. Bonnie shouts that he’s not going to get away with this and warns that it’s so stupid of him to mess with the DiMeras and now the Kiriakis family will come after him so his life is going to suck in more ways than he can imagine. Bonnie then questions how he knows about Mimi and realizes he knows her. Xander puts the gag back over her mouth and tells her to shut up.

Steve questions why Ava doesn’t want him to talk to EJ. Ava says that EJ is furious with her and vindictive, so if he finds out that she told him, who knows what he will do to Tripp. Steve questions what she’s not telling him and calls her a liar. Ava asks what it matters why or how this happened. Ava pleads with Steve to just go find Tripp. Ava calls Tripp a good guy just like him and says he doesn’t deserve this. Steve says of course he’s going to find their son and bring him back safe. Ava hugs Steve and thanks him.

Nicole tells Rafe that she was still with Eric in the office when he called and she just wanted to see if Jada was doing alright. Rafe says that Sarah said it was just low blood sugar and Eric is in with her now.

Eric sits with Jada and asks if he can get her anything but she says she’s fine. Eric mentions that it’s a good thing Rafe was there when Jada fainted. Eric then asks if something is wrong.

Rafe takes Nicole to a waiting room at the hospital. Nicole asks him what’s going on. Rafe says he wanted some privacy to say he’s sorry about before as he was making a big deal out of nothing since the cover shoot is just work. Nicole then admits that Rafe was right that it’s more than that. Rafe tells her to just say it. Nicole cries that she wants to be with Eric.

Jada tells Eric that before she went to see Rafe, she went somewhere else. Sarah comes back in to the room and interrupts them. Sarah notes that the lab hasn’t finished the full blood work yet but she got some preliminary reports and thinks she knows why she fainted. Jada asks what it is. Sarah tells Eric that she thinks she should talk to Jada in private but Jada says it’s okay as she wants him here. Sarah then hands Jada a folder. Jada opens it up and is shocked as she then announces she is pregnant.

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.

You just thought I’d check on you too,

just as well, even though no one can hear you. Like I told you, people know I’m here.

You sent Maggie a text. You’ve been called away. Family emergency. So thinking up and made me, I’m on my way to Chicago. Happy anniversary. What? Are you gonna keep us in here forever? Look. 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.

I was still with Eric in the office when you called. Uh, I just wanted to see if Jada was doing all right. Yeah, well, uh, Sarah said it was just low blood sugar. Oh. Eric’s in there with her.

Can I get you anything? I mean, do you want some water? I’m fine.

It’s a good thing that re was there when he fainted. Yeah, he was there. There. Jada, is there something wrong?

What’s, uh, what’s going on? Well, I wanted some privacy. Yeah. Um, to say I was sorry about.

I was making a big deal outta nothing. Mean the cover shoot. Like it’s just work, right?

No, Rafe, um, you are right.

It’s, it’s more than that. I, uh,

Just say it.

I, uh,

I wanna be with Eric.

Okay. So, Before I went to go see Rafe, I went somewhere else.

Hi. Oh, that was fast. Um, the lab hasn’t finished your full blood work panel yet, but I did get some preliminary results and I think I know why you painted. Really? Um, what is it? Eric, um, I think I should speak to Jada in private. Oh, um, sorry. No, it’s, it’s okay. I, I want him here.

Are you sure? Okay.

Oh my.

I’m pregnant.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Nicole is on her computer as Basic Black and gets an e-mail from Alex, containing her and Eric’s modeling photos together.

Eric is at the Brady Pub, looking at he and Nicole’s modeling photos on his phone when Sarah walks in and asks if he’s playing a game on his cell phone. Eric says it was nothing important and just a work e-mail. Eric asks if Xander will be joining her for dinner but Sarah says no as he is working late at his new job..

Xander puts on the clown mask and enters the shed where Susan remains tied up and gagged.

At the DiMera Mansion, EJ calls Ava and yells for her to answer the phone.

Ava remains in the DiMera Crypt and laughs that EJ won’t stop calling so he must be terrified for his mother. Ava’s vision of Charlie appears and says that’s good because he wants EJ to suffer the same pain that he made Ava feel. Ava ignores the call as Charlie says he’s so proud of her.

Tony enters the living room and informs EJ that he was able to get in touch with the designer of the crystal heart that Susan accidentally broke and they are having a new one made, so it’s safe for Susan to come out of hiding. EJ then reveals that Susan isn’t hiding, she’s been kidnapped.

Xander offers Susan a sandwich for dinner but she says she doesn’t want it and wants to be let go. Xander says he’s sorry but he can’t do that. Susan argues that EJ will give anything he wants. Xander responds that he wants Susan back with her son just as much but she has to be patient. Susan complains that he’s not the one tied up and sitting with gardening tools and horse manure. Xander apologizes for the setting. Susan questions why he’s doing this to her and argues that clowns are supposed to bring happiness and joy, not fear and sorrow. Susan says he should be ashamed of himself and asks what kind of miserable person does such a thing.

Eric brings Sarah a drink and asks her about Xander’s new job. Sarah claims he was hired by a pharmaceutical company called “Rednax” full time and she’s very proud of him because he worked really hard to get the job. Sarah admits they really need the money. Eric didn’t realize things were tight. Sarah explains that Xander racked up quite the bill at the Salem Inn while she’s still just working part time at the hospital until they can confirm she’s no longer suffering from what Kristen did to her. Eric tells her that he’s sorry that things have been tough. Sarah says it’s okay and that she and Xander will land on their feet. Sarah adds that there are perks of working part time since she gets to do house calls. Sarah mentions just getting back from one at Brady’s as Rachel had a stomachache from Halloween candy. Eric asks how it was for her seeing Rachel. Sarah admits that she doesn’t think she’ll ever recover from losing her. Eric admits it’s hard for him too. Sarah knows he’s thinking that they have Xander to blame for it which Eric confirms.

Nicole continues looking through the modeling photos until Rafe arrives with sushi for dinner. Nicole shuts her laptop and kisses him as she asks about his night. Rafe says it’s been crazy since the election. Nicole asks why as she hasn’t heard since she’s been swamped and dealing with marketing. Rafe says it’s that and also her new role which she questions. Rafe reveals that he heard she’s moonlighting as Eric’s top model.

Bonnie rushes in to the Kiriakis Mansion and asks Maggie if she heard about Paulina Price. Maggie says she heard Paulina got elected Governor but Bonnie says that’s old news and she means what happened after the election. Bonnie then informs Maggie that Chanel was arrested for murder which Maggie calls awful. Maggie worries that Paulina must be beside herself. Bonnie calls it a mother’s worst nightmare.

Eric apologizes to Sarah since Xander is her husband now and mentions that he’s the one who encouraged her to forgive Xander. Sarah understands Eric still being angry with him. Sarah acknowledges that what Xander did hurt them both very deeply and she didn’t think she’d ever get past it. Eric is glad she did for her sake. Sarah credits Eric for her being able to let go of the pain and anger since he helped her see the kind of man that Xander is capable of and now she’s very proud to call him her husband…

Susan asks if the clown is proud of his actions and questions what’s in this for him and why he’s doing this to her. Xander then storms out of the shed and removes the mask in frustration. Xander then calls Ava. Charlie tells Ava not to answer his call either and remarks that all these men keep trying to tell her what to do. Ava says that includes Charlie and she makes her own decisions, so she answers the call. Xander questions what took her so long to answer. Ava tells him to relax. Xander asks how much longer he has to hold on to Susan. Ava says just a little while longer. Xander complains that Susan is scared and hungry. Ava says that’s not her problem. Xander argues that Ava said this would be quick and easy. Ava tells him to just calm down and stay the course. Xander says he has a life and a future. Xander warns that if Ava doesn’t finish this, he will. Xander orders Ava to get him his money or he will let Susan go and then hangs up.

EJ tells Tony that Susan tried to warn him that someone was after him and he thought it was just Johnny being angry that he sent Ava away. EJ complains that Ava has been lying in wait to get her revenge ever since he proved that she wasn’t married to Jake. EJ adds that he should’ve locked Ava up in prison when he had the chance and now Susan is the one paying the price.

Nicole guesses Rafe is upset that she got pulled in to the Bella photoshoot. Rafe explains that he just would have liked to have heard about it from her instead of one of his detectives. Nicole argues that Jada has an agenda because she’s dating Eric. Rafe says that Jada did nothing wrong and this is just another example of a lack of communication between them. Nicole says she was going to tell him so Rafe asks why she didn’t. Nicole says it just happened as something happened to one of their models and Alex asked her to step in but she agrees she should’ve told him first and now there is something that he wants her to hear from her. Nicole decides there is something she wants to show him. Nicole then opens her laptop and reveals the modeling photos of her and Eric. Rafe questions what the hell this is and why he’s looking at a picture of his wife draped all over her ex-husband. Nicole explains that this was Alex’s idea and that at first it was going to be with Brady but Alex thought it would be better with Eric. Rafe questions why it would be better. Nicole says that according to Alex, she didn’t have any chemistry with Brady. Rafe argues that Alex saw chemistry between her and Eric just like everyone in this damn town. Rafe tells Nicole to just stop trying to hide the fact that she and Eric still have feelings for each other.

Eric calls Sarah an inspiration and an example of forgiveness and perseverance. Eric says that Sarah never stopped loving Xander after all she’s been through. Sarah asks Eric how it’s going with Jada. Eric states that it’s early but he likes being around her and thinks she would say the same. Sarah says enjoying your partner’s company is important and jokes that it could come in handy if you’re ever sharing a roach infested motel room. Eric admits he still has a little anger towards Xander but he’s working very hard to find forgiveness for him. Eric talks about spending a lifetime preaching forgiveness. Sarah promises that Xander has truly changed and is not the same man that let them believe another couple’s baby belonged to them. Sarah declares that she knows Xander will never do something that terrible again..

Xander puts the clown mask back on and enters the shed to tell Susan that she should be going home soon. Susan is excited and asks if he got in touch with EJ. Xander tells her not to worry about the details. Susan asks how he lives with himself and remarks that his mother must be so disappointed in him. Xander responds that his mother is a drunken trainwreck so he doesn’t give a damn what she thinks. Susan asks if he has a wife and how she would feel about her man being a dirty low down kidnapper..

Bonnie tells Maggie that she can’t believe Xander made Sarah move to a flea bag motel because Victor called him a loser. Maggie says that Xander is a proud man. Bonnie argues that she puts up with Victor being mean to her all the time because of the mansion. Maggie jokes about how stubborn Kiriakis men can be. Bonnie apologizes for ragging on her husband. Maggie knows she puts up with a lot from Victor. Maggie then mentions it’s her anniversary today as she married Victor 11 years ago today. Bonnie congratulates her and asks what they are doing to celebrate. Maggie responds that they are just going to be together. Bonnie questions not doing anything with family. Maggie points out that she can’t see Sarah and Xander because of Xander’s ridiculous quarrel with Victor. Bonnie argues that’s not right and that they need to make up and move on. Maggie says they can’t because they won’t even talk to each other. Bonnie suggests letting her handle this. Maggie calls that sweet of her to care. Maggie questions if she really thinks she can fix this. Bonnie says she knows she can and declares that she will get this family back on track.

Tony asks EJ if Ava made a ransom demand. EJ says not yet as she told him to wait for further instruction. Tony suggests getting the police involved but EJ doesn’t think that’s a good idea. Tony thinks they could use the police’s resources and adds that Rafe would be more than willing to help after what Ava did to him. EJ agrees that maybe he should bring Rafe in to this. EJ then gets a call from Ava, who tells him that Susan is fine for now. Ava asks if EJ is ready to hear her demands. EJ questions her taking so long to get back to him. Ava advises him to watch his tone if he ever wants his kids to see their grandmother again. EJ warns that if she does anything to harm Susan, there will be no safe place for her to hide from him. Tony suggests EJ not antagonize Ava. Ava reminds EJ that he’s in no position to make any threats as she’s the one calling the shots. EJ asks what Ava wants. Ava says in exchange for the safe return of his mother, he’s going to give her 20 million dollars.

Susan guesses that Xander does have a wife since he turned away. Xander brings up being warned that she’s psychic but he doesn’t believe in all that. Susan insists that the universe blessed her with the gift of second sight. Xander asks if that’s how she knew he was married. Susan then points out that he’s wearing his wedding ring.

Sarah gets a call from Bonnie and asks if everything is okay with Maggie and Victor. Bonnie says not exactly so Sarah asks what’s wrong. Bonnie tells Sarah that Maggie isn’t in a right state which she questions. Bonnie brings up today being Maggie and Victor’s wedding anniversary. Sarah admits she totally forgot. Bonnie figured it could’ve slipped her mind with all the fighting between Xander and Victor. Sarah is surprised Maggie told her about that. Bonnie says they live in the same house so it’s kind of hard to miss. Bonnie declares that tonight they are all going to put that behind them and invites Sarah and Xander over for dinner. Sarah points out that she was just about to order dinner at the Pub and Xander is working late. Bonnie argues that she can eat at the Pub any day and declares that tonight, they are eating with family. Bonnie states that it’s time the Kiriakis family gather under one roof and Maggie and Victor’s anniversary is the perfect time to do it. Bonnie says she’ll see her later and hangs up. Eric comes over and asks if Sarah decided what she wants. Sarah responds that there’s been a change of plans and it looks like she’s going to be playing referee all night.

Nicole tells Rafe that it was just a photoshoot. Rafe responds that he knows what it was. Nicole is not sure he does since he’s assuming that she and Eric wanted to be on the cover and they did not. Nicole repeats that this was Alex’s idea and he insisted. Rafe wishes Nicole would respect him enough to not try to gaslight him. Rafe complains that she’s acting like he’s not seeing what’s right in front of him. Nicole asks him to just listen to her as she tells him that she and Eric were told to act like they were attracted to each other and that’s what they did. Nicole calls modeling like acting and says she was playing a role while these are just pictures. Rafe argues that it’s pictures of his wife looking like she wants to tear the clothes off her ex-husband. Nicole knew doing the photoshoot was a bad idea and says she should’ve trusted her instinct. Rafe asks why she didn’t then. Nicole responds that Alex wouldn’t take no for an answer and admits she got caught up in the excitement of modeling again. Rafe says this isn’t even about the pictures, it’s about them and their marriage. Rafe states that the stupid photoshoot just forces them to face the real issue. Nicole argues that there is no issue. Rafe needs Nicole to be honest with him and herself. Rafe asks if the thing between her and Eric ever really went away. Nicole asks how many times she has to tell him that Eric is in her past and Rafe is her present and future. Nicole states that she has a husband and Eric has a girlfriend while there is nothing romantic between them anymore. Nicole says they are friends that work together but that’s it. Rafe responds that he hears her but it sounds to him like she’s not just trying to convince him, but trying to convince herself.

Bonnie asks Maggie about dinner. Maggie questions what this is all about. Bonnie announces she’s throwing a dinner party for her anniversary and Sarah and Xander will be attending which excites Maggie. Bonnie says she told her that she could pull it off. Maggie calls it wonderful and says Bonnie really is a miracle worker. Maggie asks how she did it. Bonnie explains that she told Sarah how much the occasion meant to her and Sarah agreed to convince Xander. Maggie says she’s so impressed. Maggie asks if Justin will be attending. Bonnie says no because he’s in Arizona visiting his sons, but when Xander and Victor are reunited, it will give the family that much more to celebrate when they are all back together. Maggie just hopes they behave themselves. Bonnie hugs her and tells her not to worry about a thing. Bonnie declares that she’s going to get the Kiriakis family back on track.

Xander admits to Susan that he is married but tells her to leave his wife out of this. Susan says she can’t do that and threatens to send her a psychic message that she needs her. Xander says that’s enough but then his phone rings so Susan declares that it worked.

EJ asks Ava if she really thinks he’s going to let her steal more money from his family than she already has. Ava questions if he values money more than his mother’s life. EJ responds that his mother is priceless to him. Ava tells him to prove it then. Ava says if EJ pays the 20 million, he’ll get his mom back and they can all move on with their lives. Ava adds that he should be grateful that she’s not asking for more. EJ agrees to give her the money and asks how they do this and where they meet for the exchange. Ava refuses to risk having his hired goons take her out. Ava orders EJ to wire the funds to an offshore account and once she sees the money has been transferred, she will tell him where he can find Susan. Ava then hangs up. Ava’s vision of Charlie tells her that he’s never been more proud of her and he’s never loved her more.

Xander puts the gag back on Susan and steps out of the shed to remove the clown mask and answers the phone. Sarah comments on him finally answering and jokes that she was about to have to send out a search party. Xander claims that he’s still stuck at the office and that they really wanted him to hit the ground running. Sarah informs Xander that Bonnie wants them to come to the Kiriakis Mansion for dinner for Victor and Maggie’s anniversary. Sarah adds that she knows Xander is still upset with Victor but Bonnie said that Maggie is really bummed about the rift in the family so it would really mean a lot to them. Sarah pleads with Xander to come. Xander agrees to come since it’s for Maggie. Sarah asks how far he is from the Kiriakis Mansion. Xander admits he’s not far at all so Sarah says she will see him there and hangs up.

Maggie tells Bonnie that she will go upstairs and change and check on Victor. Maggie thanks Bonnie and says it means a lot. Bonnie says it’s her pleasure. Bonnie then brings up when she and Justin were first dating and Maggie had her over for dinner. Bonnie recalls seeing two charming stainless steel lanterns and felt that they would make the perfect centerpiece for an 11th anniversary. Maggie calls that a lovely idea and says she keeps the lanterns in the back in the gardening shed. Bonnie decides she will go check there now…

Ava tells Charlie that it’s done and there’s no turning back now. Charlie remarks that he kind of wishes she made EJ sweat a little longer, but he’s happy for her as pretty soon, she’ll be swimming in cash and she can go back to being the power player she was always meant to be. Charlie asks if Ava is happy she listened to her good son as they hug.

Tony asks how fast EJ needs to come up with the money and offers to help by moving investments around if he’d like. EJ thanks Tony for the offer but says that won’t be necessary. Tony asks if EJ is going to pay Ava. EJ responds that he’s going to do whatever it takes to bring his mother home.

Nicole understands why Rafe is upset and why he reacted the way he did to the pictures. Nicole suggests they go home and talk about it. Rafe thinks they just did and questions what more there is to say. Eric then walks in asking if Nicole saw the photos but then stops and says he didn’t mean to interrupt. Rafe stops him and says he was just leaving. Nicole says they both were about to head home but Rafe declares he’s going to get a beer alone. Rafe adds that he’s sure Nicole and Eric have a lot of catching up to do over their incredible photoshoot. Eric tries to explain but Rafe says he’s not interested in what he has to say and storms out. Nicole calls out to Rafe, leaving her frustrated. Eric offers to go talk to Rafe but Nicole says that will only make things worse. Eric asks if she told Rafe it’s not what he thinks. Nicole says of course she did, but he’s not stupid. Eric asks what she means. Nicole tells him that Rafe sees what’s going on and everyone does.

Sarah joins Xander at the Kiriakis Mansion and asks about his first day at work. Xander calls it interesting and says they’ll talk about it when they get home as they kiss. Maggie then comes in and says she is so pleased they are both there. Sarah and Xander hug her and wish her a happy anniversary. Sarah asks where everyone else is. Maggie responds that Justin is in Arizona and Victor hasn’t come down yet. Xander asks about Bonnie. Maggie informs him that Bonnie was heading out to the gardening shed, giving Xander a look of worry.

Bonnie goes to the gardening shed and finds Susan tied up and gagged.

EJ makes a call, saying to let him know when it’s taken care of. Tony asks if he wired the money to Ava’s account. EJ says not exactly, so Tony questions what that means.

Ava’s phone goes off, so she assumes that’s EJ letting her know that he made the transfer. Charlie notes that didn’t take long and says that’s the respect she commands when she listens to him. Ava then picks up her phone and begins to panic. Charlie asks what’s wrong. Ava then reveals that she was sent a photo of Tripp tied up and gagged while held at gunpoint.

Eric asks what Nicole is saying. Nicole brings up Alex, Chloe, and Rafe, and says everyone sees the connection between them and that they can’t deny the chemistry is still there both in the photos and when they are in the same room together. Eric tells her they don’t have to do this right now while emotions are high. Eric suggests not saying anything they wished they wouldn’t have said. Nicole asks if he means like something honest. Nicole asks if Eric is tired of fighting it because she is. Nicole admits she’s been fighting it since the day Eric came back to town, lying to herself, and pretending that she’s over him and not jealous of he and Jada. Eric argues that he was trying to do the right thing, give her space, and respect her marriage. Eric says he started seeing somebody but no matter what, he always finds himself where he started in the same place with her. Eric and Nicole then start kissing.

Candy Crush. What? What? Zander only looks at his phone like that when he’s playing a video game. Oh, it’s, uh, nothing important, just birth, email. Uh, Zander gonna be joining you for dinner. Nope. I only need one menu. Zander is working late at his new job.

Dam it, Eva, answer the phone.

Ah, youj won’t stop calling. He must be terrified for his mother’s. Good. Let him suffer. I want that son of a bitch to experience the same type of pain he made my mother feel.

I’m so proud of you, mom.

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

Oh, aj, there you are. I have good news. Anna was able to get in touch with the designer of her sacred Crystal Heart. Crystal Heart, yes. The one that Susan accidentally broke. Annas commissioned a new one, so Susan can be the sigh of relief. You can also tell your mother that it’s safe to come out behind in.

Mother isn’t hiding from Hannah tummy. She’s been kidnapped.

I brought you some dinner. Oh, sorry. It’s nothing fancy. Oof.

You know, I don’t want your next sandwich. Ronald McDonald. I got a whole plate full of catfish, nooks. Just wait for me at my son Elvis’s house. So why don’t you just let me go. Sorry, I can’t do that. Oh, but of course you can. My Elvis, he’s loaded. He’ll give you anything you want. Trust me.

I want you back with your son just as much as you want to be there. Cause you have to be patient. . 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.

Mr. Clown, what kind of a miserable person does such a thing?

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.

I have no doubt. Thank you. And there are perks to working part. I get to do house calls. came back from one at Brady’s. Whoa. Is he sick? Nope. No. It, um, it was for Rachel. How was she? She’s okay. She had a major tummy ache, which I diagnosed as an over indulgence of Halloween candy. . . Yeah. I’ve suffered from that more than one time in my life.

Me too. . I’m poor.

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.

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.

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.

Update written by Joseph

Leo and Sonny go out to dinner. Sonny admits he’s having second thoughts but Leo promises it will be a fun and memorable night. Sonny jokes that he wants to make sure Leo actually brought his wallet for when the check comes. Leo tells Sonny to prepare to have his shallow misconceptions about him shattered because he got an advance on his pay check. Alex arrives which scares Leo, who questions if Sonny brought Alex as some sort of threat since Alex has had it in for him since the night Sonny was stabbed. Alex tells Leo to relax as he didn’t come for him, but for Stephanie.

Chad goes to the Brady Pub and finds Sloan, who asks where his partner in crime is. Chad asks if she means his partner in crime fighting. Chad tells Sloan that despite her best efforts, their client won and is out celebrating while Sloan is drowning her sorrows with a martini. Sloan informs Chad that she is the one celebrating. Chad points out that she lost, but Sloan responds that he is way behind the times.

Melinda Trask is at the police station, happily looking over the file on Paulina that Sloan had. Belle arrives looking for Shawn. Melinda informs her that he should be back soon as she just sent him out with an arrest warrant which he should be serving right about now.

Shawn then reveals that Chanel is under arrest for suspicion of murder and handcuffs her, shocking Paulina, Allie, and Abe. Allie argues that there must be some kind of mistake but Shawn assures there is not. Paulina encourages Chanel that it will be okay while Abe questions what this is all about. Shawn admits he doesn’t know as it was Melinda’s idea and she put her up to this. Shawn reads Chanel her rights as members of the media come over to question Paulina about if this is true and if she has any comments.

Chad tells Sloan that she can’t spin this defeat since she has nothing left to blackmail Paulina without the original file. Sloan comments on what Alex did with it and says she didn’t realize Alex was moonlighting for SJ PR. Chad responds that they are friends. Sloan states that Alex stole her file, so she stole it right back from him which Chad questions. Sloan reveals that thanks to Leo, she got access to Paulina’s safe and the information that rightly belonged to her.

Leo claims to Alex that he knows he’s not mad at him anymore. Alex responds that he doesn’t think about him at all, especially when he has much more pleasant things to dwell on as Stephanie joins him. Leo jokes that he would invite them to join them but he and Sonny have lots to talk about which Sonny disagrees with. Leo and Sonny then go to their table. Leo complains that Alex could show more respect since he’s a key member of their new Governor’s team and believes he’s made himself invaluable to her.

Melinda suggests Belle record the news tonight because Shawn is bound to be all over the coverage. Belle questions who Shawn went to arrest. Melinda is glad she asked because camera crews are going to be there documenting Paulina’s election win, but they are also going to witness her very first scandal. Belle questions this being about Paulina. Melinda guesses Paulina won’t make it to inauguration day before having to resign. Belle questions what she sent Shawn to arrest Paulina for. Melinda responds that Paulina is not the suspect, but she’s gone to great lengths to cover up the heinous crimes of her daughter…

Paulina demands the handcuffs be removed from Chanel and calls this an outrage. Chanel questions what is happening. Paulina tells her not to worry. Abe tells Paulina not to interfere. Allie argues that there’s no way. Paulina gets questions from the media about Chanel’s arrest. Paulina calls this a mistake and a travesty. Paulina promises Chanel that it will all be okay. Shawn escorts Chanel to the police station. Allie goes with them as media follows behind while Abe holds Paulina back.

Sonny toasts to Paulina winning the election and then questions Leo’s sudden lousy mood. Leo responds that Alex’s snarky comment hurt his feelings. Sonny jokingly questions Leo having feelings. Leo knows he screwed up in the past but says he’s doing his damndest to make it up to the people he’s hurt and become a productive citizen of Salem while Alex treats him like the gum on the bottom of his shoe. Sonny argues that he can’t blame Alex for being curious as to why Leo invited him out. Leo reminds Sonny that if he hadn’t identified Clyde as his attacker, he’d be in prison right now. Sonny is glad the right person was punished but says Leo didn’t have to take him out to dinner. Leo says he wanted to and brings up their history, pointing out that they used to be married and that’s a big deal. Sonny reminds him that he blackmailed him so saying they were married makes him queasy. Leo complains that he only blackmailed him after he and Will thought they killed him and rolled his body up in a rug to dispose of him. Sonny shouts that none of that would have happened if he wouldn’t have gone after he and Will in the first place. Stephanie asks Alex if things are getting intense over there. Alex says he’s not sure Sonny even knows why he’s here. Stephanie asks if it’s not a date. Alex assures it’s not and that Sonny and Will are solid. Alex suggests they ignore them and focus on their big night. Stephanie says hearing the election results felt even better than she thought it would. Alex encourages that she made that happen. Stephanie thanks Alex again for getting that file from Sloan as she knows he felt like he was betraying her. Alex responds that if that’s all it took to get a date with Stephanie, he’d do it all over again. Alex then apologizes and takes that back, saying he won’t come on too strong or push way too hard, noting that calling this a date would be presumptuous. Stephanie says maybe but asks what if it is a date.

Sloan asks if Chad still thinks she’s bluffing. Sloan tells Chad not to come crying to her when all hell breaks loose which should be any moment now. Chad sits with her and offers to buy the file back from her and tells her to name her price. Sloan can’t blame him for thinking Paulina could buy her way out of this but says they used someone she cared about to humiliate her, so she was forced to up the stakes. Chad questions what she is talking about. Sloan declares that Paulina is about to get what’s coming to her and she will have no one to blame but Chad and Stephanie.

Abe and Paulina go back to her office as Abe calls security to escort the media away from Paulina’s door. Paulina questions him dragging her in here when he knows Chanel needs her. Abe says he had to get her away from the reporters and says he’s as worried about Chanel as she is, but this story is about her as the new Governor and those reporters are going to ask questions that she doesn’t have the answers for or maybe she does.

Belle questions what Melinda is arresting Chanel for. Melinda doesn’t think she’s ever had an easier time getting a judge to sign off on a warrant. Shawn arrives with Chanel in handcuffs. Melinda tells him nice work and asks how it went. Shawn responds that she knows exactly how it went. Shawn adds that he has officers out front trying to keep the reporters at bay. Melinda jokes about hoping the cameras caught his good side and asks if Chanel knows why she is here. Belle advises Chanel that she doesn’t have to say anything. Melinda suggests taking Chanel to booking so they can start questioning her. Belle asks Shawn what’s going on. Shawn responds that he doesn’t know all the details but he will fill her in later as he then escorts Chanel away.

Leo asks Sonny if they can start over. Sonny suggests they just call for the check and leave. Leo stops him and says he didn’t want to fight. Leo is sure there are things they both regret but they also have had fun which Sonny disagrees with. Leo remarks that it’s never been boring which Sonny reluctantly agrees with. Leo just wants them to get along. Sonny argues that Leo always has an ulterior motive and an angle. Sonny adds that if Leo’s looking for another sugar daddy, his wedding ring means a lot to him. Leo questions Sonny thinking that he asked him out to seduce him and take his money. Sonny clarifies that he’s not thinking that. Leo says he’s beyond hurt and insulted. Leo adds that he doesn’t need a sugar daddy since he has a great job now and he just wants friendship which Sonny questions. Leo admits that he doesn’t have very many friends, specifically not one gay male friend. Sonny questions him wanting him to be the one. Leo calls him funny and popular, so he may not have any idea of what it’s like to be lonely but it sucks.

Abe questions what Paulina is not telling him. Paulina knows he’s thinking that she’s keeping yet another secret from him but she really believed that she had this under control. Abe wants to help her but he can’t unless he knows what this is and they have no time to waste if Chanel is going to be charged with murder. Paulina explains that she was being blackmailed for something Chanel did when she was younger and she had to pay up or the police would find out the truth, so she hired Stephanie to handle it. Paulina adds that the proof was in a file and Stephanie got it back for her so the blackmail was over and she thought Chanel was safe. Paulina notes that she put the file somewhere where no one could get it so she doesn’t understand how this got out of control. Abe questions who was blackmailing her. Paulina responds that it was Sloan Peterson.

Chad questions what Sloan did. Sloan says it was what she was threatening to do from the very beginning if she didn’t get what she asked for. Chad asks if she went to the cops. Sloan responds that she did even better as Melinda Trask was very interested in the contents of that file. Chad pulls out his phone and calls Stephanie.

Alex asks if Stephanie would be willing to date since up until now, everything she said has been pretty much the opposite. Stephanie says she had her reasons, but maybe it’s time to rethink those reasons. Alex calls that the best news he’s heard all year long. Stephanie then gets a call from Chad. Alex asks if she needs to take it and offers to give her some privacy but Stephanie decides no since she is here with him and silences her notifications. Stephanie declares that the election is over, so she deserves a night without alerts as work is done and right now, she has something more important to focus on when Alex toasts to.

Allie goes to the police station and asks Belle if she saw Chanel. Belle confirms that Shawn just brought her in. Allie says she tried to follow but had to fight through the reporters. Allie asks if Chanel is locked up already. Belle says she’s still in the station and just got taken down for booking. Allie worries that Chanel must be so scared and there’s nothing she can do to help. Belle asks if Allie knows what this is about. Allie says no as Paulina had just finished her victory speech and everything was great but then Shawn showed up and said Chanel was under arrest on charges of murder. Belle is shocked and asks how that can be.

Chanel has her mugshot taken.

Chad’s phone goes off as Sloan remarks that it sounds like he’s getting a lot of notifications and sarcastically asks if there’s something in the news. Chad tries calling Stephanie and wonders why she isn’t picking up. Sloan guesses Stephanie is busy. Chad remembers that he knows where she is and exits the Pub as Sloan wishes him luck because he’s going to need it.

Paulina checks her safe and finds out the file is gone. Paulina doesn’t know how Sloan did it but she somehow got in to her safe and stole back the evidence. Abe questions how Sloan got the evidence in the first place. Paulina explains that she was representing some mystery client but wouldn’t tell her who it was. Abe questions having the evidence just sitting in the safe. Paulina explains that she planned to shred everything but she hasn’t had a moment alone since getting her hands on it. Paulina realizes that Melinda Trask has the file now and she hates her ever since she strong-armed her in to giving Lani a plea deal. Paulina cries that Melinda is taking it out on Chanel and she needs to go see her daughter. Abe stops her and says until they have a plan, they need to keep their distance from the reporters. Paulina complains that they can’t just sit here and do nothing. Abe reminds her that they can’t do anything to help Chanel until they have a plan and until Paulina tells him what Chanel did.

Chad finds Stephanie and questions her ignoring his calls. Alex points out that they are in the middle of something here. Chad apologizes for interrupting but tells Stephanie that she needs to check her phone. Stephanie questions what’s going on and is then shocked when she looks at her phone. On the other side of the room, Sonny questions Leo being serious about wanting a friend. Leo asks why he would joke about that. Sonny responds that everything is a joke to him and that he enjoys nothing more than making someone look like an idiot. Leo asks if that’s how he sees him. Leo says being funny is his greatest talent and admits he scandalizes people by being outrageous because it keeps them at a distance but all it gets him is somebody thinking he’s pulling a prank when trying to reveal a piece of his heart. Sonny apologizes. Leo acknowledges that it’s his own fault for acting like a clown but he didn’t expect Sonny to be like everybody else. Stephanie asks Chad when this happened. Chad says it was right after Paulina gave her victory speech. Stephanie questions how it happened. Chad says he’s still trying to sort that out but he just ran in to Sloan, who was happy to tell him what she did as she got the documents back and used them. Alex questions how Sloan got the documents out of Paulina’s safe. Chad looks up and sees Leo across the room. Chad points at Leo and reveals that Sloan said he helped. Alex then gets up and goes over to grab Leo, questioning what he did.

Allie tells Belle that she wants to help Chanel so bad but she doesn’t know who to call and has never felt so helpless. Belle encourages that it will be okay and she’ll help in any way she can. Shawn returns and informs them that Melinda has Chanel in the interrogation room because she wants to do the initial questioning. Allie worries about Chanel being by herself. Belle says this is what Melinda does as she wants Chanel to be scared and desperate so that she will say whatever to get out. Allie pleads with Shawn to help Chanel.

Melinda sits in the interrogation room with Chanel and tells her that the truth is her only way through this. Belle interrupts. Melinda tells Belle that she’s not allowed to be in here. Belle asks Chanel if she wants her to be her lawyer. Chanel says yes, so Belle declares that this interrogation is over. Melinda warns Chanel to think twice about that and questions putting her fate in Belle’s hands. Melinda adds that it’s not too late to change her mind. Chanel confirms that Belle is her lawyer now. Belle asks for a few minutes to confer with her client, so Melinda angrily exits the room. Belle sits with Chanel and tells her that Allie was afraid of Chanel being in here alone, but assures that she’s not alone anymore.

Melinda tells Shawn to get to writing up the arrest report. Allie questions why Melinda is doing this. Melinda respond that she’s just doing her job and tells Allie that if she knows anything, she can help by giving a statement. Melinda claims she’s just trying to be helpful. Melinda adds that Chanel isn’t doing herself any favors by having Belle take over and claims that she’s just trying to get to the truth. Allie argues that she doesn’t know anything and even if she did, she wouldn’t tell her. Allie declares that her girlfriend is not a murderer. Melinda calls that misplaced loyalty and argues that Chanel has been keeping a very big secret from her and everyone, but that’s all going to come out now.

Sonny tries to tell Alex to take it easy but Alex demands Leo tell him what he did and who he is working for. Alex tells him to admit what he did but Leo says he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Chad comes over and tells Alex to let him go as Stephanie adds that it’s okay, so Alex lets him go. Leo tells Sonny that he wasn’t being paranoid before. Stephanie asks Leo if Sloan came to Paulina’s office today. Leo admits that she did because he owes her some money but questions what his business with Sloan has to do with them. Chad responds that it doesn’t except when his business is stabbing their friends in the back.

Abe can’t believe Chanel has been carrying this burden around for so long and Paulina has too. Paulina apologizes for keeping this from him and asks him not to hate her for lying to him yet again. Abe assures that he could never hate her and he gets why she kept this hidden as it wasn’t her secret to tell. Paulina is surprised that he understands. Abe tells her that he will do everything he can to help her and Chanel. Paulina thanks him and hugs him.

Belle tells Chanel that Melinda is going to want to sit with her and ask a lot of tough questions, but she’ll be there with her to make sure she doesn’t say anything to hurt herself. Chanel thanks her. Belle brings up that Allie was surprised by her arrest and asks if it was a surprise to Chanel or if she saw it coming. Chanel responds that she thought it was all over and that Paulina was helping make it go away. Chanel explains that she had the file that Melinda now has. Belle questions what’s in the file. Chanel asks if she is supposed to tell her everything but Belle decides it’s probably better if she doesn’t give her the details since the police still have to show her what they have, so it’s probably better if she sees it without any preconceived notions. Chanel cries that if they have that file, then they have everything they need. Belle asks if Chanel has seen what’s in the file. Chanel confirms that Paulina showed her a copy. Belle reminds Chanel that in a court of law, it’s not always about the truth but about what they can prove is true.

Leo questions what documents and what it has to do with Chanel. Stephanie asks him to just tell them what happened when Sloan was in the office. Leo questions why this is important. Sonny tells Leo to just tell them everything. Leo argues that he already told them that Sloan showed up because she wanted money. Chad asks if he gave it to her. Leo says it wasn’t that simple and explains that he didn’t have any cash while Paulina promised him an advance and he wanted to get rid of Sloan. Stephanie and Alex question Leo opening Paulina’s safe in front of Sloan. Leo asks how else he was supposed to get the money out and notes that the combination was there, insisting that he closed it right back up but Alex says obviously not. Chad reveals that Sloan says Leo helped her which Leo denies. Chad asks if he turned his back for even a second but Leo says no. Leo then stops and comes to a realization, so Sonny tells him to answer the question. Leo then he admits he may have turned his back. Stephanie tells him to do better than that. Leo explains that he had to count the money and admits staying focused isn’t his strong suit. Alex then declares that Leo just destroyed his boss’s career and her daughter’s life.

Abe finishes a call and informs Paulina that most of the reporters have cleared out and advises her not to say anything for now. Paulina feels she needs to get to the police station. Abe suggests they call there and check in to see if Allie knows what’s going on. Paulina agrees that’s a good idea and calls Allie. Allie tells her that she’s at the police station and asks where she is. Paulina responds that she’s in her office, trying to avoid the press. Paulina asks how Chanel is and if she’s seen her. Allie says she hasn’t as she is in the interrogation room. Paulina worries about Chanel being all alone in there but Allie informs her that Belle is with her and taking the case which Paulina is thankful for. Paulina tells Allie to tell Chanel to hold on if she sees her, because she’s coming as she then hangs up.

Belle tells Chanel that for now, she just stays quiet and let her do all the talking. Belle gets a text from Allie, saying she’s outside the room and that Paulina is on her way. Chanel can’t believe this happened on her election night. Belle says they obviously planned it that way. Melinda returns to the room and reminds that she still has questions that need to be answered. Belle says that will have to wait as she still has to see the evidence. Melinda says if she wants to stall, that’s fine, but notes that it’s too late for arraignment and also too late for a bail hearing which means Chanel will be staying in lock up for the night. Shawn enters the room, so Melinda asks him to escort Chanel down to her quarters for the evening. Belle encourages that it will be okay as Shawn will keep her safe and she’ll have her out in the morning. Melinda reminds Shawn to handcuff Chanel before taking her out, since she is a murder suspect.

Leo questions that he really got Chanel in trouble. Sonny confirms that it looks bad. Leo complains that Alex seems to think he did it on purpose. Sonny asks if he did. Leo assures that he would never do anything to Paulina or Chanel and if Sloan stole something from the safe, she did it while he wasn’t looking. Leo asks if Sonny believes him. Sonny says God help him, but he does.

Paulina complains that she can’t stay here any longer and needs to be with her daughter. Abe agrees to do his best to shield her from the reporters and asks if she’s ready for this. Paulina responds that she has to be and they will get through this together. Abe opens the door to leave right as Sloan arrives.

Stephanie says now they know that Sloan used Leo to get the file. Alex questions if they are sure Leo isn’t working for Sloan. Chad admits they don’t know but should probably get started on this right away. Stephanie agrees and apologizes to Alex for having to go since her phone is going to explode if she doesn’t at least put out a statement and she needs to find Paulina. Alex understands. Stephanie assures they will do this again. Alex says he would like that a lot. Chad and Stephanie then exit.

Sloan congratulates Paulina and Abe on winning hard fought elections, but she wonders at what price. Paulina questions what she’s doing here. Abe asks if she came to gloat. Sloan tells Paulina that it would’ve been so much cheaper if Paulina just paid her what she asked, but now the whole world is going to know what Chanel did and how Paulina covered it up. Paulina calls Sloan a miserable, heartless cow and declares that she has to go see her daughter. Paulina and Abe then exit together.

Shawn brings Chanel out of the interrogation room followed by Belle and Melinda. Allie hugs Chanel and tells her she’s so sorry while Melinda orders Allie not to touch the prisoner. Belle argues that she’s not a prisoner. Melinda calls their contact inappropriate. Allie tells Chanel that she’s here for whatever she needs and she loves her. Melinda then orders Shawn to take her away. Allie hugs Belle as she cries.

Update written by Joseph

Doug and Julie sit together in the town square, talking about their productive day. Doug announces they have performed their civic duty and voted while Julie mentions they celebrated with a shopping spree. Doug says now they are here for lunch. Shawn approaches. Julie encourages him to vote now. Shawn responds that he will later but he’s actually here to see Julie. Shawn says this is awkward but he needs to look in her bag because she’s been accused of shoplifting.

Stephanie walks past the Brady Pub and sees a “Timmons For Governor” sign. Stephanie then grabs a nearby Vote for Paulina sign and goes to cover up the Timmons sign when Chad walks by and questions what she’s doing. Stephanie admits it was a bad impulse but explains that after she almost torpedoed Paulina’s whole campaign, she wants to do everything she can to make sure that she wins.

Abe joins Paulina in her office. Paulina admits she’s had butterflies all morning and is a nervous wreck. Abe encourages that she ran an excellent campaign and did it without any major missteps or scandals which he notes is pretty lucky. Paulina responds that he has no idea..

Alex teaches Sonny yoga at the Kiriakis Mansion. Sonny complains that he hates it while Alex urges him to stop being so negative. Sloan then walks in and remarks that being a dog comes natural to Alex as she kicks him over and calls him a sneaky son of a bitch.

Abe sees that has a pretty good lead on his opponent in the early results and asks about Paulina’s race. Paulina calls in Leo for an update, who reveals that current polls have her slightly ahead. Leo adds that he also checked her phone messages and there’s messages from her sister Tammy, Governor Mitchell, and three messages from Sloan Peterson.

Alex asks Sloan what’s going on. She tells him not to play dumb as she knows he took the file. Alex claims to not know what she’s talking about. Sloan argues that it had to be him since no one else has been in her apartment. Sloan screams at him, questioning why he would betray her like this when she thought they were friends.

Chad tells Stephanie not to worry about Paulina and encourages that she has this in the bag. Chad invites Stephanie to dinner to celebrate after Paulina wins. Stephanie says that’s really sweet but reveals that she already has plans to go out with Alex tonight.

Julie questions Shawn about someone accusing her of shoplifting. Shawn knows it’s crazy but says the cashier claims she left without paying and says he’ll just look in the bag to prove them wrong. Julie understands he’s just doing his job and tells him to go ahead. Shawn looks inside her bag at a fur coat as Julie instructs Doug to show the receipt but Doug reveals that he thought Julie paid for it.

Allie comes home to find Chanel cleaning up Henry’s toys. Allie tells Chanel about things at the Bakery going great and everyone having the rest of the day off to vote. Chanel mentions putting Henry to sleep a few minutes ago. Chanel tells Allie that Stephanie got upcoming questions in advance for media that she will have to do as Paulina’s daughter. Allie points out that she just realized Chanel is going to be a public figure, joking that her girlfriend is going to be famous. Chanel responds that her mom has to get elected first.

Abe questions Paulina as to why Sloan keeps pestering her. Paulina claims that Sloan asked her for a job and won’t take no for an answer. Abe says he has to check in with his campaign manager, so he will meet Paulina at the Pub after and they can go vote together. Abe exits as Paulina asks Leo what’s next on the agenda. Leo asks if she wants him to set up calls for those messages but Paulina says she will get to those later, except for the ones from Sloan as she can kick rocks.

Alex tells Sloan to calm down but she screams that she will not calm down when she has been lied to and betrayed. Sloan complains that she was so stupid as it was obviously when he blindfolded her and handcuffed her to the bed. Alex argues that she saw him leave her apartment. Sloan remembers his aunt happening to come to her house and guesses he passed the file off to her. Sonny questions Alex getting Maggie involved in this. Alex denies it and claims Sloan has it all wrong. Sloan insists that she’s right and tells Alex that she hopes it was worth it because he can say goodbye to the best sex he ever had as she storms out of the mansion.

Chad questions if Alex asked Stephanie out but she clarifies that she asked him which Chad calls a plot twist. Chad asks why she had a change of heart. Stephanie responds that Alex saved Paulina’s campaign and their jobs by taking that file from Sloan, so she wanted to show her gratitude. Stephanie asks if Chad disapproves. Chad thinks she could’ve just sent him a thank you card since taking him out to dinner will make Alex think that she’s interested in him and that he might have a shot. Stephanie then admits that maybe she is.

Allie looks over the questions Chanel has from the media and notes that some of them are very personal like asking about her role in Henry’s life or if she has plans to get married and have children of her own. Chanel blows it off that she wouldn’t give those answers to strangers. Allie then asks about giving the answers to her.

Leo complains to Paulina that Sloan is still harassing him and threatening to send in her enforcers if he doesn’t pay her legal fees. Paulina calls Sloan trash. Leo asks if there’s any way he could get an advance in pay to get Sloan off his back. Paulina says that no one deserves to be in Sloan’s clutches so she agrees to give him an advance. Leo thanks her and asks how soon he can get it. Paulina responds that she happens to have some extra cash in her safe and adds that there’s also something else in there that she needs to dispose of discretely. Leo offers to shred it for her but Paulina says she will handle it herself. Paulina opens her drawer to look for her safe combination but gets an alert that it’s time for her interview, so she tells Leo they will have to do this later. Paulina gives him her word that she will not forget because no one deserves to ever have to be tethered to Sloan.

Sonny asks Alex if Sloan was telling the truth about him stealing from her. Alex says he wouldn’t call it stealing but admits he took the file. Sonny asks what was in it. Alex admits he has no clue. Sonny argues that it makes no sense that he stole something without even knowing what was in it. Alex asks Sonny to keep this between them as he reveals that Stephanie asked him to see the file. Sonny asks why but Alex says the less he knows, the better. Alex adds that Stephanie seemed very grateful. Sonny questions Alex committing a crime just to score points. Alex explains that Stephanie was scared and upset and he hated seeing her like that but admits the side benefit is that she does seem a bit warmer towards him and that she asked him out to dinner tonight. Sonny asks if this is a date then but Alex is not so sure about that.

Chad questions Stephanie about if this is a date then. Stephanie clarifies that she has come to realize that Alex isn’t the jerk that she thought he was since he tainted his relationship with Sloan just to help her out. Chad points out that doesn’t answer his question. Stephanie states that she has changed her opinion of Alex but clarifies that she isn’t considering this a date but just that she has an open mind. Chad bets Alex is thrilled. Stephanie points out that Alex would have Chad to thank for it. Chad questions what he did. Stephanie explains that after her ex, she shut down emotionally and wasn’t going to let anyone hurt her like that again but after spending time with Chad and getting to know him better, she decided to put herself out there again. Stephanie adds that it’s because Chad isn’t interested. Chad stops her and questions who said he wasn’t interested. Stephanie responds that he did.

Shawn walks Julie back through the town square after fixing things at the shop. Julie is mortified that the shopkeeper thought she shoplifted intentionally. Doug jokes that it wouldn’t be the first time. Julie brings up an incident that Doug was referring to back when she was a teenager. Shawn assures he’s not judging her. Julie talks about how it was a similar item back then and they threatened to book her when Tom and Mickey came to her rescue as she flashes back to that time. Doug points out that it was over 50 years ago. Julie confirms that was 57 years ago to this very day.

Allie tells Chanel to start with the marriage question. Chanel says considering what happened with Johnny and her, she’s in no rush to tie the knot anytime soon but that doesn’t mean she can’t see them getting married eventually. Allie agrees and says she loves being with her while they both acknowledge they’ve only been dating for three months so they are cool with taking things slowly. Allie then asks Chanel about children. Chanel says she loves helping her raise Henry but asks if Allie wants more children. Allie says as bad as things got between her and Johnny growing up, the good times made up for it, so she thinks having a sibling can be really good for a kid. Chanel admits it can be lonely as an only child and she can only imagine what it would’ve been like to grow up with Lani, so she is open to the idea of more kids. Allie jokes how a couple years ago they were partying their way through London without a care in the world and now they are talking about their future like adults. Chanel responds that she wouldn’t have it any other way as they kiss.

Chad asks Stephanie when he said he wasn’t interested. Stephanie reveals that she happened to walk in when he made it pretty clear to Alex that there would never be anything between them. Chad says he didn’t realize and apologizes. Stephanie tells him that she likes knowing where things stand. Chad argues that he needs to explain that Alex accused him of having feelings for her and it made him feel uncomfortable and he didn’t know how to respond, so he just blurted that out. Stephanie asks if he’s saying he didn’t mean what he said.

Alex explains to Sonny that Stephanie said she wanted to thank him for helping her out but says if nothing else, at least now she doesn’t think he’s complete scum and maybe she’ll give them a chance. Sonny reminds him not to push it. Alex knows he has to play it cool and admits he shouldn’t have hounded her before and should’ve backed off. Alex says maybe now, the universe has intervened to bring them closer together. Sonny is glad that Stephanie is finally giving him a chance. Alex thanks him and assures he’s not going to blow it this time.

Sloan goes to Paulina’s office and tells Leo that she’s here to see Paulina since she’s not returning her calls. Leo informs her that Paulina is not there and assures her that he’ll have her money soon. Leo swears he’ll have it tomorrow but Sloan says that doesn’t work for her. Sloan guesses she’ll just have to send her associates and warns that they can be there in ten minutes. Leo then decides he can get her money now and finds Paulina’s safe combination in her drawer. Leo then opens the safe and removes a briefcase, noting that he’s sure Paulina wouldn’t mind him taking care of it himself. Sloan then looks over in to the safe and sees the file that Alex stole from her and smiles…

Shawn joins Doug and Julie for lunch. Abe arrives and greets them. Julie presumes he’s on his way to being re-elected as mayor. Abe admits it’s looking pretty good but it’s not over yet and adds that he may not have the job for very long. Abe announces that if Paulina wins her election, he will be stepping down as Mayor and moving to the capitol with her. Doug calls that quite a gesture. Paulina then joins them. Julie mentions that they just heard the news that Paulina may be taking Abe away. Paulina says maybe not as she just heard some very troubling news.

Sonny goes back to doing yoga until Leo walks in and startles him. Sonny questions what he’s doing here. Leo tells him to get dressed because he’s here to take him to dinner to celebrate his new job. Sonny didn’t think he was serious about that. Leo adds that they can also celebrate Sonny for keeping him out of prison and tells Sonny to let him take him out for a night on the town. Leo promises that he won’t regret it.

Chad tells Stephanie that there’s obviously an attraction between them and part of him thinks it would be really nice to pursue that and to see where it goes. Stephanie asks about the other part that he’s obviously listening to. Chad admits he’s still grieving Abigail, so he’s not ready to start seeing anyone in a serious way and he doesn’t know when or if he ever will be. Chad says he may have overstated things to Alex, he doesn’t want her to sit around, waiting and hoping. Stephanie appreciates his honesty. Chad is really glad that she wants to start dating again though, even if Alex wouldn’t be his first choice, but he supports her because that’s what friends do. They then decide to get to work.

Julie asks Paulina about the troubling news. Paulina responds that she may be overreacting but the owner of the Salem Inn said she didn’t vote for her and that a lot of the other local business owners didn’t either because apparently they are still angry about the whole Price Town business and are claiming that she’s just a shill for big business. Paulina worries that it could really hurt her chances. Stephanie and Chad approach. Stephanie tells Paulina that she anticipated something like this, so she already has a rebuttal and just needs her approval. Shawn asks if there’s anything else they can do to help. Stephanie encourages them to go vote.

Later that night….

Paulina, Abe, Stephanie, Chad, Allie, Chanel, and Leo are all at Paulina’s office. Paulina finishes a call with Lani and hands the phone over to Abe, who talks about it being a big day. Paulina asks Stephanie about the damage control. Stephanie thinks they were able to turn things around for the voters. Paulina remarks that Abe was just congratulating her on avoiding any missteps. Chad thinks Price Town ranks pretty low compared to some of the other things in Salem. Abe announces that they just called the race and he won as everyone cheers.

Alex gets dressed at the Kiriakis Mansion when Sonny comes in also dressed up. Alex questions where he’s going. Sonny admits that he’s going out to dinner with Leo Stark. Alex is shocked and questions why. Sonny complains that he’s been cooped up in the house ever since getting out of the hospital and decided he needed a night out, even if it is with Leo. Alex asks how Will feels about him going to dinner with another man. Sonny argues that it’s not another man, it’s Leo Stark. Alex reminds him that Leo is his ex-husband. Sonny argues that Leo just wants to thank him for clearing him of the murder and to celebrate his new job. Alex points out that celebrating is festive which is more than just a friendly dinner to him. Sonny disagrees and insists that it’s just a meal and a much needed change of scenery for him and he’s not looking for romance. Sonny tells Alex not to compare him going out with Stephanie to he and Leo. Alex hopes that by the end of the night, he will have swept Stephanie off her feet.

Stephanie watches the polls and worries that they might not have a definitive answer tonight. Stephanie then stops and says they are calling it. Stephanie announces that Paulina won and they all celebrate.

Abe and Paulina head to the town square for their speech. Abe says he is honored that the people of Salem have continued to support him and find him worthy of serving another term as mayor. Abe then announces he regrets to inform them that he intends to step down and hand the reigns to his very capable deputy mayor. Abe clarifies that he does not make this decision lightly but his wife Paulina Price has just been elected their new Governor. Chad, Stephanie, Leo, Allie, and Chanel all applaud with the audience. Abe believes it’s his duty to support Paulina to the best of his abilities, so he will be moving with her to the state capitol. Abe adds that it will be his pleasure to turn the microphone over to Paulina. Paulina thanks them for the warm welcome and talks about how blessed she feels to be taking on such an important role. Paulina adds that she wouldn’t have been here without her support team, starting with her incredible campaign staff and her amazing husband, Abe and her wonderful daughters, Lani and Chanel. Paulina brings Chanel up to the podium with her and declares that there is nothing more important than family.

Julie goes home and looks at her family photos along the fireplace mantle. Doug calls her over to the couch with a cake to jokingly wish a happy 57th anniversary to her life of crime as they kiss.

Paulina talks about fighting heart and soul when she commits to something, so she looks forward to dedicating her heart and soul to the good people of this state. Sonny arrives and congratulates Leo. Leo can’t believe he is now the executive director to the Governor of the State, joking that it makes him an A list gay and that means they can book a table as Leo takes Sonny and they walk away. Alex arrives to take Stephanie out. Stephanie goes over to Chad and tells him that Paulina just gave her the rest of the night off so that means Chad is free. Chad says he’s glad he could help. Alex tells Stephanie that they are just in time for their reservation at the Bistro. Stephanie thanks Chad again for his help, noting that she couldn’t even have done it without him. Stephanie then walks off with Alex.

Sloan sits in the Brady Pub, having a drink as she reads an article about Paulina winning the election. Sloan remarks that Paulina can enjoy her victory while she can.

Paulina calls this one of the best days of her life. Abe feels the same. Chanel says they are about to have a great celebration with champagne. Shawn then comes over. Paulina asks if something is wrong. Shawn reveals that he needs Chanel to come to the police station with him because he has a warrant for her arrest. Allie asks if this is some kind of joke but Shawn confirms it is not. Shawn then reveals that Chanel is under arrest for suspicion of murder and handcuffs her, shocking Paulina, Allie, and Abe.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

A good table tonight. It down will Better. Please go.

Hi

Chad. Paulina just gave me the rest of the night off, so you’re a free man. Great. I’m glad I could have you ready? Yes, just in time for our reservation bistro. Thanks again for your help, Chad. Couldn’t have done it.

Hmm. Enjoy your victory while you can Ms. Price.

Well, I have to say this has got to rate as one of the best days in my life. . I feel the same way and that is why we are about to have a great celebration. Yes, champagne included my treat. . Hi Sean. Oh well. Oh, almost my, so serious detective with something wrong. Yeah. As a matter of fact, there is, I need Chanel to come down the station.

Well, why, what forward? I have a warrant for her arrest? Uh, is this some kind of joke? Afraid it’s not. She now the pre, you’re under arrest and suspicion of murder.

Aren’t you thirsty? I am having second thoughts actually. What? It is Too late for that. Oh, come on Jackson. It’s gonna be a fun night. I promise. Not just fun but memorable. We’ll laugh. We’ll cry. Happy tears. Of course. We’ll take goofy selfies and post them to our socials. No we won’t. Fine, then we will laugh and cry and eat the Chile sea bass here to die for.

It’s very expensive, by the way. $46. But the sky’s the limit. Again with that look. What, what? Just wanna make sure you actually brought your wallet. Of course. I brought my wallet. Why would you even ask that? Just in case we having, uh, an oopsy moment when the check comes. Oh, ye of little faith. Prepare to have your shallow preconceptions of me shattered Jackson Kakkis.

See, I got an advance in my salary. It’s bringing a hole 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 efforts, 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

murder. What? No. There there must be some kind of mistake. No. No. Afraid there isn’t a mistake. It’s gonna be okay, baby. Well, what is this all about, John? Honestly, I don’t know. It’s the DA’s idea. So Trask 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. You cannot afford one for you. No Ms. Price. Madam 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 are you talking about? I owe it on prize’s new system, Leo Stark one, and only thanks to him I got access into Paulina’s Safe and the information that rightfully belonged to me.

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.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Aren’t you thirsty? I am having second thoughts actually. What? It is Too late for that. Oh, come on Jackson. It’s gonna be a fun night. I promise. Not just fun but memorable. We’ll laugh. We’ll cry. Happy tears. Of course. We’ll take goofy selfies and post them to our socials. No, we. Fine. Then we will laugh and cry and eat the Chilean sea bass here to die for.

It’s very expensive, by the way. $46. But this sky’s the limit baby. Again with that. Look what? Look, just wanna make sure you actually brought your wallet. Of course. I brought my wallet. Why would you even ask that? Just in case we having, uh, an Oopsy moment when the check. Oh ye of little faith prepared to have your shallow preconceptions of me shattered Jackson Kakkis.

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

murder? What? No. There there must be some kind of mistake. No. No. Afraid there isn’t a mistake. It’s gonna be okay, baby. Well, what is this all about, John? Honestly, I don’t know. 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.

Update written by Joseph

At DiMera Enterprises, Stefan kisses Chloe until she pulls away and says maybe they shouldn’t do this, bringing up that she knows she’s not over Brady so she feels it’s unfair to Stefan. Stefan asks what about being fair to herself. Stefan reminds Chloe that Brady has already moved on with his life and is back together with Kristen. Chloe argues that he’s not back with Kristen. Stefan points out that Brady chose to move Kristen back in to his home and declares that Brady isn’t wasting any time going after what he wants, so he questions why Chloe should.

Wendy tells Johnny that she still can’t wrap her head around how Dr. Rolf could brainwash Stefan in to being in love with Chloe and just forgetting about Gabi. Johnny says it’s what Dr. Rolf does as a mad scientist. Wendy says she’s big on science and guesses she’s also a hopeless romantic so she finds it crazy that someone could manipulate someone’s feelings like that. Johnny calls it no more crazy than Stefan rising from the dead after four years. Wendy declares that if they can find Ned Granger, maybe he can lead them to Dr. Rolf. Johnny adds that then Dr. Rolf can tell them if EJ and Li messed with Stefan’s head. Wendy responds that if they did, Johnny would have his payback for what EJ did to Ava.

In the DiMera Crypt Ava’s vision of Charlie encourages her to keep her eye on the prize and that she’s going to get revenge on EJ DiMera. Ava agrees that EJ deserves to pay for thinking he could banish her from Salem. Ava declares that if all goes according to plan, Xander should be grabbing EJ’s mother right now.

Anna and Tony return home to the DiMera Mansion from Zurick. Anna complains about the flight and orders Tony to fire the pilot. They decide they need a drink and head in to the living room where Anna is shocked to find the crystal heart trinket that Tony got her for her birthday is smashed on the floor. Tony says he will replace it but Anna calls it a one of a kind item so there can never be another.

Xander drags Susan out of the DiMera Mansion.

Ava and her vision of Charlie joke in the Crypt about how EJ is going to be freaking out when he can’t find his mom. Charlie remarks that he can’t wait until EJ finds out that Ava was behind the kidnapping. Ava then immediately stops laughing and questions what the hell he’s talking about. Ava states that EJ can never find out it was her. Charlie asks why the hell not.

Stefan apologizes to Chloe and says he doesn’t mean to push. Chloe says it’s okay as he asked a valid question. Chloe asks what she is doing since she and Brady are over and he’s clearly moved on. Chloe declares that she thinks she is ready to move on as well. Chloe then reminds Stefan that they worked together and she just got a promotion. Stefan points out that he didn’t promote her and he’s not her boss so they are two employees of equal stature and if they start dating, they just have to let HR know first. Stefan declares that he’s ready to go public with how he feels and asks if Chloe is.

Wendy asks Johnny how they can find Ned Granger. Johnny brings up that Tony used to fly with him all the time, so he thinks Tony could point them in the right direction. Wendy questions calling Tony and worries that he could tell EJ what they are up to. Johnny admits that Tony did vote for EJ to become CEO again and that if EJ did something to Stefan, Tony could already know about it or even be in on it. Wendy asks if Tony flew with Ned alone. Johnny brings up Anna being with him, so Wendy points out that Anna would definitely know Ned too. Johnny acknowledges that Anna also has a soft spot for him.

Anna cries to Tony that the gift meant so much to her. Tony offers to call the artist to see if he can do anything about it. EJ walks in and announces that dinner will be ready shortly. Anna informs him that she lost her appetite after the horrible flight and then coming home to find her crystal heart shattered. Tony encourages that they will find a way to get it fixed. Tony asks what is for dinner. EJ informs him that Susan asked cook to prepare catfish nuggets. Tony asks if Susan is joining them. EJ says he thought so but she seems to have disappeared. EJ asks if Anna or Tony know where Susan has gone.

Ava gets a text from Xander that it’s done. Charlie tells Ava that now she can call EJ to make him beg to get his mother back. Ava repeats that EJ can never find out that she’s behind this because if he does, she will be on the run for the rest of her life and she will never see Tripp again. Charlie gets upset and asks so what. Ava asks what he means because she needs Tripp in her life. Ava calls Tripp her son who is alive and he needs her close to him which is why he asked her to move to Seattle. Charlie argues that Tripp did that out of pity and that the Johnsons are Tripp’s family now. Charlie declares that Ava has nothing and no one, except him. Ava asks what about her grandson, Henry. Ava doesn’t think she could handle never seeing Henry again. Charlie tells her that she won’t have to then because they’ll take his son with them.

Sarah goes to the Kiriakis Mansion and returns Maggie’s check to her, saying that she and Xander can not accept her money. Maggie didn’t think Sarah was going to tell Xander about it. Sarah explains that it fell out of her planner when Xander used it to kill a roach. Maggie offers cash instead but Sarah says she can’t because Xander was really hurt when he found out she accepted the money because he thought it meant she didn’t believe in him. Sarah insists they will be fine. Maggie argues that Xander is struggling and there is no shame in accepting help. Maggie asks Sarah to let her take some of the weight off Xander’s shoulders…

Xander brings Susan’s unconscious body in to the Kiriakis summer shed and confirms that she’s still alive.

EJ mentions going to check on dinner and he can’t imagine where Susan went off to. Tony praises the catfish nuggets. Anna then gets a call from Johnny, who says he needs her help with something but Tony and EJ can’t know about it. Anna questions why. Johnny informs her that he’s at Allie’s place and asks her to come now because he really needs her and he knows his favorite aunt will come through for him. Anna says she’ll be there as soon as she can and hangs up. Tony asks who was on the phone. Anna claims it was the artist who made the sculpture as she texted him and he called her right away. Tony asks if he can fix it. Anna says he doesn’t know as he’ll have to see it and told her to come over. Anna asks if he minds. Tony says not at all since he knows how important it is to her. EJ asks if he should put a hold on dinner then. Anna tells them to just eat without her as she’s still a little queasy from the flight so she will wait to eat. Anna adds that she hopes EJ’s mother shows up soon as she exits.

Xander talks about bad memories of working as Victor’s gardener in the shed and now he’s ended up back here to try to change his fortunes. Xander says he’s sorry Susan had to get mixed up in this and when she wakes up, it will all seem like a bad dream. Susan then begins to wake up.

Sarah informs Maggie that Xander is at a second interview for a job that he says could be very lucrative. Maggie says that’s wonderful and asks what the job is. Sarah admits that he didn’t say. Maggie says she adores Xander but given his history, she asks if Sarah is concerned that he left her in the dark.

Xander ties Susan up to a chair as she wakes up. Xander then puts a sack over her head. Susan wakes up and begins to panic about being blind and paralyzed as she can’t see or move. Susan complains that she can’t breathe and needs the sack off of her head.

EJ calls Susan but it goes to voicemail. Tony encourages EJ not to worry since Susan hasn’t been gone that long and maybe she just went for a walk. EJ supposes it’s possible and suggests they take the time to talk to get his mind off Susan. EJ adds that there is something important he wants to talk to him about regarding their brother, Stefan.

Ava questions Charlie wanting her to take Henry and rip him away from his mother. Charlie reminds her that he is Henry’s father and he would be safe, loved, and cherished. He urges Ava not to lose her edge and reminds her how good it feels to be bad. Charlie asks when the world has been fair to Ava. Charlie states that everyone is always getting what they want while Ava is always left in the dust. Charlie brings up EJ threatening to throw her in prison if she didn’t disappear and questions her wanting to show mercy by giving him Susan back right away or letting someone anonymous take credit. Charlie insists that Ava needs to show EJ the hurt that happens when she is messed with. Ava then decides Charlie is right and declares that EJ needs to pay and he will know that she was behind it. Charlie urges her to unleash the hate so that EJ gets what he deserves and in the end, she will get revenge and enough money that they can take Henry and disappear where they will never find them. Charlie tells Ava that he and Henry are the only family she needs.

Anna goes to see Johnny, who introduces her to Wendy. Anna asks what the big secret that he is keeping from Tony and EJ. Johnny explains that they think that EJ and Li may have ordered Dr. Rolf to brainwash Stefan to make him think he hates Gabi and loves Chloe which Anna questions.

Chloe tells Stefan that she’s not afraid to go public and isn’t afraid of being judged as she doesn’t care what people think. Chloe questions if this is how Stefan really feels as she’s been wondering if these feelings for her are genuine or if someone else put them there. Stefan questions her hearing the rumors. Chloe responds that she knows that Gabi thought Dr. Rolf brainwashed her and that what he’s feeling now is something Rolf programmed in to his head. Stefan admits the possibility crossed his mind but Gabi went to ask Dr. Rolf if he did anything to his brain and he said no. Stefan adds that Gabi believes that Dr. Rolf’s hands are clean and so does he.

Tony questions EJ having Dr. Rolf brainwash Stefan. EJ clarifies that Li Shin did it and Kristen went along for the ride. Tony notes that EJ apparently did too and questions him expecting him to support him in this. Tony understands he has to be ruthless and calculating to get ahead in business. EJ argues that they both know Stefan is better off without Gabi. Tony argues that it’s not his call to make. EJ notes Tony’s disapproval but declares that what’s done is done. EJ stops Tony and tells him that he can’t tell anyone about this including Anna.

Anna questions Johnny thinking EJ did this to take back control of the family business. Wendy adds that Li would also benefit from Stefan not having feelings for Gabi. Johnny notes that it’s possibly Tony is involved too since he’s tight with EJ but Anna assures that Tony could never keep a secret from her. Anna asks why she’s here since Johnny said he needed something. Wendy explains that Dr. Rolf is missing and they think Li used a former DiMera pilot to fly him to an undisclosed location. Johnny adds that if they can find the pilot, they can find Dr. Rolf to confront him and they think it might be Ned Granger. Anna remembers Ned being the lowlife that helped Gwen and Ava kidnap Abigail. Johnny says that’s why it makes sense that he’d be involved and they just need help finding him. Anna brings up Stefano going to great lengths to keep her and Tony apart, so if his sons are doing the same, it needs to be stopped. Anna then agrees to reach out to Ned. Wendy wonders if Ned will talk. Anna assures that she can count on it.

Sarah tells Maggie not to insinuate that Xander’s job must be something shady because he didn’t give her the specifics. Maggie brings up that Sarah said herself that Xander brought up diamond smuggling as a possibility. Sarah admits that she thought it was strange that Xander wouldn’t give her the details so she asked if she should be worried, but he said he’s a changed man. Maggie relates it to Victor and responds that old ways are really tough to shake. Sarah says that’s where they come in and remind their men of everything they’d have to lose. Maggie says she loves Xander and believes he wants to stay on the right path but proving he can provide for them and getting them out of the motel is a lot of pressure. Sarah asks Maggie not to worry and promises that Xander is only interested in honest work. Maggie suggests Sarah call Xander then and ask him how his second interview went.

Xander removes the sack from Susan’s head and she says she feels much better. She then looks up to see Xander is wearing her clown mask from Halloween and declares that she’s been abducted by an evil clown.

Anna calls Ned and says she understands his clients rely on his discretion but this is a matter of utmost urgency as she needs to locate Dr. Rolf right away. Ned asks why it’s so urgent. Anna claims that it’s for Tony as he was sick and now he’s dead, so if anyone can bring him back, she knows it’s Dr. Rolf but they are running out of time. Anna mentions still being upset with Ned over what he did to Abigail but she understands that he eventually did the right thing by telling Tony and Chad where she was, so now she needs him to do the right thing by telling her where he flew Dr. Rolf. Anna thanks him and says she’s so grateful as she hangs up. Anna then reveals to Johnny and Wendy that Dr. Rolf is in Jakarta.

Stefan asks if Chloe is still worried that Dr. Rolf put these feelings in his head. Chloe knows it’s a buzzkill but says she just doesn’t know what to think right now. Stefan acknowledges being confused about a lot of things since coming back but one thing he hasn’t been confused about is her. Stefan knows he hurt her when he cheated on her with Gabi and he’s sorry, but he’s over her and they just filed for divorce. Stefan says that Gabi is moving ahead with Li while he has a second chance at life and love, so he wants Chloe to take that chance with him. Stefan wants to make Chloe forget about Brady and suggests they leave town tonight and go anywhere she wants to go. Chloe admits that sounds exciting but reminds him that she just started a new job and can’t just take off. Stefan argues that they can make it a business trip since they have offices all over the world. Stefan assures they won’t put anybody’s job at risk. Stefan pleads with Chloe to follow her heart and say yes. Chloe then says yes which excites Stefan. Stefan tells her to pack her bags and he will prepare the DiMera Jet then they will be on their way.

EJ encourages Tony that it’s possible Stefan already had doubts about Gabi and feelings for Chloe and that Dr. Rolf just intensified them. Tony argues that it doesn’t give anyone the right to decide who should love whom. EJ argues that it’s not just about love but about legacy. EJ says that Gabi was destroying Stefano’s company when they have an obligation to protect it and if a few peoples’ feelings get hurt along the way, so be it. EJ asks if he’s right or wrong. Tony responds that he’s conflicted which EJ calls progress.

Susan thought she loved clowns but decides they are scary. Xander explains that he’s not a real clown and he found the mask in her bag. Susan calls him a thief and says she doesn’t want it back because as soon as she put it on, she had a premonition that someone was out to get EJ. Susan asks if that’s what this is about. Susan’s phone rings so she tells him that he can answer it if he wants but Xander ignores the call. She questions why he didn’t answer. Xander responds that he’s busy. Susan threatens to scream if he touches her. Xander responds that no one will hear her because she’s in a very special soundproof room. Xander says he’s going to step out for a moment and warns her to behave herself. After Xander exits, Susan remarks that it looks like a regular old summer garden shed.

Ava talks to Jake’s plaque in the DiMera Crypt about opening her heart to him and how maybe things would be different if he were here, but he’s gone. Ava declares that now she has to do what she has to do. Ava then gets a call from Xander and asks if he has Susan. Xander confirms that he does and asks when they get the ransom money. Ava responds that they will get it when she decides. Xander declares that he’s done babysitting Susan and demands that Ava call EJ and get their money now.

After Anna leaves, Johnny tells Wendy that it looks like they are headed to Jakarta and finds out that the first flight out isn’t until tomorrow at noon. Wendy looks on her laptop and points out that the DiMera Jet is available. Johnny worries that if someone tries to use it while they’re gone, then they will know where they are. Wendy reveals that she just switched the plane’s status to unavailable so Johnny declares they are heading to Jakarta.

Stefan makes a call and is told that the DiMera Jet is being serviced so he decides he can just book them two first class plane tickets but Chloe takes it as a sign they should slow things down. Chloe knows she said she wanted to go and she feels bad for suddenly changing her mind but she couldn’t help but feel ambivalent about moving so quickly. Chloe apologizes and hopes he understands. Stefan assures that they will go as fast or as slow as she wants.

Xander puts the clown mask back on and returns to the shed. Susan demands to be let go but Xander says he can’t do that. Susan questions what he wants and who he is. Xander responds that he’s just an evil clown doing his job.

Sarah tries calling Xander but he doesn’t answer which she takes as a good sign. Maggie invites Sarah to stay for dinner and if Xander gets the job, they can celebrate. Sarah points out that Xander won’t be breaking bread with Victor anytime soon but soon they will be able to show everyone that they are doing great back on their feet as Xander will get this job and be making the big bucks soon..

Susan calls Xander a sad clown instead of an evil clown because she can read people and she can just tell that he doesn’t want to be doing this. Xander responds that all that matters is that her son cooperates. Xander declares that as long as EJ does what he’s told, nobody is going to get hurt.

EJ searches the DiMera Mansion for Susan, wondering where she could have gone. EJ then gets a call from Ava, who asks if he’s wondering where his mother is. EJ questions what she did to her. Ava tells him to relax as she’s fine and being well taken care of for the moment. EJ warns Ava not to hurt Susan. Ava responds that she is calling the shots now because she has his mother and if he does exactly what she tells him, then maybe she will return her to him in one piece.

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.

Hi

He reminded her that she already hired Xander to do the job. Brady confronted Kristen about Chloe getting a promotion. She told him that she didn’t do it, but she thought it would be good for them.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Ha Ha ha. Gotcha. You. No, no, don’t be out. I’m gonna get you one way or another. Bacteria invested. Little bastard guitar, whatever. I’m sorry.

Oh, good. You’re here. You’re glad to see me. Oh, sweet. Chloe quit her job at Basic Black to go to Damara headquarters. And you did that, didn’t you? I didn’t hear you come in. Well, I heard you talking about me. What? You said my name. Oh, so that must mean your Stephan Dam. Excellent deduction. Who are you? I’m Wendy Sh Lisa.

Nice to meet you. You still haven’t told me who you were talking to about me and why,

boy, what happened Was John here, he told me something that he didn’t want you to tell you. And you know me. I, Anthony, most honest person since Colonel Tom Parker, his own self. Well, I mean now they’re saying that old Tom. He’s not so honest, but I am. And you know, I don’t like to keep secrets between you and I show him, I’m gonna tell you what he said.

Come on grandma, get it over with Elish. You boy is just sick at heart from everything that’s been going on this past few weeks. Is he? Yes. He is just missing his ex. Something fierce. His acts the lovely.

Are you wishing it here, honey, you’re No, no, no. I was talking about Ava

Like sand through the oas. So are the days of.

Don’t even think.

You know, usually the stray is more effective than the can itself. He was empty. Huh? You got him. So fair play to you. Ah, I’ll get some more ro spray when I go out. Only like it will be the last can we need. Does that mean that the job interview went well? Yeah, I did connect with, um, one prospect that seems promising.

This is so exciting. Can’t wait all about it.

I don’t keep up with Chloe’s comings and goings anymore. So you had no idea that Lee Shin had offered her a job at Damari? Nope. Lee said that you didn’t put him up to it, but, but what You think he’s lying to you? I think I have good reason to believe that whenever Chloe has a big sudden change in her life that you orchestrated, I barely know Le.

My relationship was with his father. I mean, so why would he take orders from me? He reports to ej. EJ fired me. You really expect me to believe that you’ve just stopped pulling all the strings because you’re living here now, Chloe, quitting basic black only benefits one person, and that would be you.

Kristin, maybe Chloe does benefit. She could have, uh, decided that a job at Damara was to step up for her. And if you cared about her, like you say you do, you might try being supportive. Frankly, I’m surprised at least she would offer her any kind of position at Damara given her personnel file. It’s only full of bad performance reviews from you.

Okay. You know what? Maybe he doesn’t care about my. Or he thought that she would do a better job if she wasn’t so distracted by you. He probably found out that you had broken off with her and moved on with me. I moved you in here, but I haven’t moved on. I love Chloe more than I ever have. Well, you’ll get some perspective now.

I didn’t get Chloe that job, but uh, I do think it’s a very positive change for all three of us.

You’re not saying very much because I’m embarrassed. I was talking to myself. Do it a lot. Why did you say my name? Well, I was working on updating our electronic records and your file jumped out at me as problematic. Not that according to our HR records, you’re dead. Yeah, I’ve been running into a lot of that lately.

Hey, while you’re at it, you mind fixing my voter registration? That’s a tricky one. That’s what they said. What does it feel like to be you? I mean, it must be weird. Just wake up and suddenly realize you’ve missed four years of your life. It’s good to be alive. But if I’m honest, it hasn’t been easy. I can imagine your wife has your job and she’s engaged.

My brother, you’re behind on the times. See, Gabby doesn’t have that job anymore, and as far as I’m concerned, Lee can have her. You know, she’s interesting. And it is pretty impressive, right? The fact that she has a prison record that she became CEO of Damara Gabby is interesting on paper. Well, she must be really smart.

She’s also beautiful, huh? You know, she used to impress me too, but not anymore. In fact, I kind of hate to think about our time.

Well, I would hate to see my brother get hurt. Could you maybe tell me what happened to make you change how you feel about her? You must have loved her once. Are you sure you’ll never love her again?

You told your grandmother that you still have feelings forever. Uh, well, I, uh, I, I didn’t realize it, you know, until I was talking to her about it. She’s, you know, she’s got a way of knowing things that you, you don’t wanna admit. Mm-hmm. even to yourself. Yep. That’s right. I You should it by and dad, I know, but I know I told you I was over it and Yes, her lie about being married to Jake was low.

It was also. Johnny Ava’s a master manipulator. She played up to your uncle Jake after he broke up with Gabby. Then she and Gabby cooked up this phony marriage after he died, and she made you an ally with her sad story about her deep love for her dead husband. I know that. Now, look, son, I hope you’re not being hard on.

Being taken in by a woman doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human.

You gonna get over by

mother’s, right? And fortunately, Ava will never set foot in this time again. Again.

Charlie, what are you doing here?

So the good brother, he still wants you to move in with him, doesn’t he? Wants you to bake him cookies. Scrub his floors. Is that the life you want? Well, no. Didn’t think so. I miss my son. On your son too. You have a son right here. Hi name’s Charlie. Nice to meet you. You know, I, I hear that it’s cold and rainy in Seattle, but things seem to be heating up nicely in Salem.

Don’t. Don’t you want your revenge against EJ Damara? Don’t you need that revenge? I thought so. So put the gun in the bag and stop thinking about wimping out. Yeah. Well, here’s the problem. I’m not sure I can, ah, well, you know, I’d hate to jinx the jar by talking about it before. It’s a sure thing, so you can’t tell me.

Well, let’s just say it makes good use of some of my skills and it could pay really well. Mm, and I shouldn’t be like worried that you won’t tell me any of the details. You know, I’m a changed man, don’t you? Yes, I do, and I’m very, very proud of you, but I rubs you, big boy. Oh.

Maggie wrote you a check. Yes. Why?

I don’t even know you yet. Here you are asking me to talk about something. So, Well, I was hoping you could put my mind at ease about, I told. I’m afraid my brother will get hurt, right, because now I’m back and I used to be married to Gabby and you were very much in love from what I hear. Could you maybe tell me what made you change your mind about her?

I don’t remember.

Oh, okay.

I assume that, uh, you’ve heard all the rumors as to why and Well, how I’m back. That Dr. Wolf guy. Yeah. See, people don’t seem to die in my family. More like they get deactivated and put into cold storage till they’re useful again. Oh yeah. So Gabby seems convinced that when Wolf brought me back, he did something to erase my feelings for her.

Well, do you think that could be true? Wolf swears up and down. He did no such thing. Gabby bought it Marks for me. Guess I stopped loving around my own. I see. You don’t seem reassured. I guess I’m not. Hmm.

Gabby is my past and I’m very much looking forward to my future. Is there someone else

might say that?

Well, There she is.

I broke it off with Chloe and I let you move into this house because if I hadn’t, you would’ve let Marlena, Kate and Caleb die. That’s the kind of woman you are. That’s the kind of woman you’re always gonna be so you can fix it. So Chloe changes job. I didn’t get finish. You can fix it. So Chloe changes jobs, but you’re not gonna change the way I.

I love her. I always will. He used to say those same words to me and you know you meant them.

And Victor hadn’t made me believe that our little baby was dead, was a lifetime ago. The lifetime of our little girl. Listen, keep your voice. Don’t you want her to hear everything that we’re talking just.

I am just trying to remind you, Vanessa, feel hook up. Remind you that whatever, whatever woman I loved before, she doesn’t exist. I don’t even know if she ever existed. Kristen did. Okay? Oh. No matter who I am, I have the means to keep Marlene and the others alive, and that is the only reason why you are in.

This is not the only. Rachel likes us being a family, and I want us to be a happy one. I’m not gonna, that’s never gonna happen. I understand that. I, I don’t know. I don’t know. You know what? , Chloe, Chloe will be better off. You’ll see. I mean, she’s accepted reality, even though you haven’t, that’s why she took this job.

So now you can just focus on us, you, me and Rachel. You blackmailed your way into this house and I’m never gonna change the way. Why am fighting again

the things we do for our children? Isn’t that Ra? Yes, mother. Oh, excuse me. I’ve been waiting for this cold all day. Thank you for getting back to me so quick. Hey, uh, thanks for not actually telling him what we were talking about. You what? I don’t like my only son, but, um, I mean, if you did do something terrible to his own brother, then yeah, I think the truth should come out.

So do you, uh, Have any of your, you know, vibes about me being on the right track or Johnny. Okay. You know what, my guess they, they, they, they only tell me what they want me to know. And, you know, I en crushed my fingers. That, that, that, uh, Elvis had nothing to do with the scrambling of your Uncle Stephan’s brain.

Me too. But look, if he did, then you, you know. You’re gonna have to prove it. Prove it in front of God and everyone else.

Mom came to see me this morning and offered us a little bit of money to tide us over. Took one look at this place. Huh? I told you I’d get us out of here. You don’t have any face in me. No, of course I do. But honey, if it embarrasses you to accept the money, then I will go and tell her, no,

Sarah, don’t go yet.

What’s with the doubts? Mom? Jake hated e. I’m sure that he wouldn’t mind me going after him, but it not like this. You know, Susan was his aunt or something. Do I have to say this again? Nothing is going to happen to Susan. We are holding her for a big ransom to hit EJ where he lives. His wallet. Come on, mom.

Be your authentic self. An evil bitch. Great. Well, I’m so glad to know my son thinks so highly of me. I’m in it as a compliment. Look, you already hired Xander. You told him the whole plan. You promised him his cut. There’s no turning back now.

Chloe, this is Wendy Shin Lee’s sister, Wendy. This is Chloe Lane. Hi. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. Wendy, could you give us a minute please? I need to speak with Chloe in private. No problem.

So I stopped by the end this morning. See you. And you had already. What are you doing here? Well, actually, Wendy’s brother offered me a job here and I accepted it. That’s great. Congratulations. Yeah. Thank you. I, I really hope this works out. I’m a little surprised and I thought you loved your job at Basic Black.

I do, but I can’t spend that much time with Brady anymore. I had to get outta that office. Mommy and daddy weren’t fighting honey.

It sounded like you were honey. Sometimes adults have to raise their voices when they’re talking about important things. I don’t like it. It makes my tummy hurt. Well, I didn’t know your tummy hurt. Shit. It was kind of hurting all day. Sweetie. Why don’t you tell me about that? I thought it’d go away, but it just got worse.

Oh, sweetheart, she’s feeling a little feverish. Show mommy where it hurts on your tummy right here. That could be her appendix. I mean, we should get her to the emergency room.

I’m sorry, love. I was an ass then. Oh, you were? Yes I was. But you know, I love Maggie. I just, I hate the idea that she thinks I can’t take care of you. No, she loves you too. She was just trying to help. I’m not gonna live off of you or her, but that’s my problem. I, I dunno. I’m just jumpy. I’m stressed that this job’s gonna fall through like all the others.

No way. I have a good feeling about it. It’s not anything illegal though, right? Bloody,

what? What is it? Nothing. It’s um, it’s actually a good thing they want me back for a second interview. See? See, I told you I had a good feeling and just to prove that I have complete.

And I’m all that charm. You both know you have. I’ll do best. You know that you can’t prove anything. That didn’t have been, no. But if my dad did do something to ste I’m gonna find out what it was.

Oh, hey, what does I say? Uh, you know what? I might be onto something. Fuck you. You be careful. Janna Damara, I mean, made you think this soldiers fun and game for I I have sensing some danger in this house. Well, then it’s a good thing I’m leav. Charles Ragona where she, which Grandma . And thank you again for covering for me.

Which grandma? That boy’s too nervous for his own good.

What’s. Oh, uh, he had to go someplace.

Mother, is there something wrong? Wait, so bumped over somebody else’s grave

land As long as we’re. Trust me, you’re doing the right thing.

I’m sorry. These premonitions of yours have been worrying you. Sometimes my gifts just feel like this heavy load, but I also know when you are not being honest with me. I thank you. Pardon? I walked in on you and Johnny with your heads together. Are you really talking about Ava?

Oh good. It’s you. Look, before you tell me what you found out. There’s something I have to tell you. My grandma knows what we’re doing, which grandma? My dad’s mom. No, don’t worry. Okay. She, she doesn’t know anything about you and, and she also promised that she wouldn’t say a word. So you sure you can trust her?

Yeah. She might be a little weird, but she doesn’t break a promise. So what do you got? I talked to Ste a day. How’d that happen? Well, I was working in the conference room and he just walked. I got him talking about him and Gabby good work. I said he has no idea why he stopped loving her. So Ralph did something to him.

Well, he said Gabby thought the same thing, but I swore he did it. Yeah, of course he’s gonna say that. Now. I bet that’s why they got rid of him because Gabby started sniffing around. That’s the other thing I wanted to talk to you about. I figure if Lee smuggled Dr. Ralph Outta town, he didn’t have a fly commercial, so he seems logical that he would use a Damer yet, but it turns out he hasn’t booked one for months.

Did I come all the way over here just for you to tell me we hit a dead end? No. I also found. That he requested a list of former damara pilots. Oh yeah. Yeah. Seems pretty suspicious to me. Get a copy of the list. Uh, do I look like an amateur?

It’s pretty long. Damara doesn’t seem like a very stable place to work, but I can start running background checks and see what we find. You know what? I don’t think you’re gonna have to do that.

She runs a little warm. I don’t think she has a fever. Hey, um, you feel like you have to throw up a little bit? Mm-hmm. , how much Halloween candy did you have since last night? Just one or two pieces. One or two pieces. You sure that’s what you said about your Easter basket and you were sick all day from that?

Remember honey, I have sweet tooth too. Look, Hey, I don’t, I don’t think we gotta go to the emergency room, but I do want you to lie down on the couch for a little bit. Okay? Okay.

Emma, mom, patient, I think you’re gonna feel a little icky for a while, but she’s gonna be okay. Yeah. I mean, you sure? It’s, she had too much Halloween candy. Oh, I don’t know. Let’s see.

Uh, I know, I know radio. She had a bone marrow transplant. I mean, don’t you think we should just get her checked out? Are you questioning my parenting? No, I’m not. I just don’t know what it would do if anything happened to her. Listen, she also gets motion sickness, right? I don’t wanna put her in a car while she’s nauseous.

Oh God. I just, I wish doctors would make house calls. I know one that might, okay, we’ll call them her. Sarah h.

Yeah, well, please tell her if she is willing to come, that I would be forever in her debt.

Interesting meeting place you picked at. Oh, where’d you wanna meet? Orton Town Square. Uh, I enjoy making deals like they’re surrounded by dead people. Okay, well you’re on the Dememer property. Aren. You didn’t have to go through the front gate, and Susan happens to be in the main house right now. You aren’t asking me to grab her tonight, are you?

Oh, I’m asking you to grab her right now.

You don’t seem too happy about your new job.

Actually I’m, I’m kind of miserable about it. Yeah, it must hurt, but, uh, you’re doing the right thing. For what it’s worth. I know that Brady cares about me, and maybe he still even loves me, but moving Kristin in with him after everything that she had. And him swearing to me that he would never be with her again.

I just, I don’t understand it and I never will. I’m so sorry. I just, I look at him and I, I think about all the plans that we made for our future, and now knowing that none of those plans are gonna happen. I decided that not seeing him is better than seeing him under these circumstances. You’re taking care of yourself.

I’m trying to.

I just wish it didn’t hurt so much.

Hey, things are gonna get better. Come here. You’ll see.

So how is she. I hear a lot of rumbling, which I think is your tummy’s way of saying that it wants more fruits and vegetables and less candy. But I like candy. Who is candy is. So good, but maybe only a couple pieces a day and after a meal and in turn you won’t feel like you have to vomit all the time. Is that a good deal, I guess?

Uh, yes. She’s also been under a lot of stress the last couple months. Well, um, a stress can lead to it 28th, um, but the situation has been taken care of. Brady and I mm-hmm. have handled it. Yeah. So, um, there’s. No emergency here, right? No. Her abdomen isnt tender, which means it’s not your appendix. Thank goodness.

Well, thank you. Thank you for coming over, Seth. Mm-hmm. . I’m always happy to, Rachel, I brought something for you and I only do this from my most. Some special variations.

What do you think? I love you. Love them. They’re yours,

Here we go. There you go. You always like sunglasses. Even when you were a baby , I think you’re gonna be feeling better soon. Okay. Try her with, uh, some sips of water and if she can keep that down, then you can move on to the tea or a carbonated drink. Yes, another drill. Good

Thank you.

Please. Um, let me pay you for your time and trouble. I was happy to do it for Brady and Rachel. I know it couldn’t be easy. I liked taking care of her again. I’m always gonna care about her. Please send me a bill. It’s the least I can do after kidnapping me and nearly ruining my life. I don’t want your money.

Xander’s not working. Xander has a job interview right now. We’re fine.

There’s one name on this list I’ve heard before. Ned Granger. He’s done a lot onto the table. Work for my family. In the past, my Aunt Kristen used him to kidnap two women and I thought my family was. I should have thought of his name before. Why is he not in prison? Well, uh, one of the women that my aunt Kristen kidnapped was my uncle Chad’s wife.

Her name was, uh, Abigail. Um, anyway, Chad figured out what was going on and Granger told him where Abigail was in exchange for a deal. My dad and your brother would still know that Granger’s breathable. So if they wanted to get rid of Ralph, odds are they would’ve hired him to do it.

Don’t like my only baby boy calling me liar. That’s not what I was doing. Johnny’s quite good at convincing people to do what he wants. I wonder where gets that from. I suspect he’s. Angry at me regardless of what he says. At the contrary,

if he asked you to choose size between him and me, I did no. Look, if he did, I wouldn’t do it. I wouldn’t do it because I love you both and I won’t watch fish for the two of you.

You can’t ask me to grab Susan right now. Haven’t made a plan of egg noses in the house. I’ve made the plan. I know exactly who’s in the house and how it operates. This has to happen now, or somebody’s gonna get cold feet. It must be an easier way to get money out of VJ than trying to kidnap his mother from under his nose, find out when she leaves the house.

Okay? For one thing, I don’t know how long she plans to stay here for another. We could both use that ransom money sooner than later. So, So everything you need. Floro. Formm the old school, isn’t it? Yeah, it still works. You know how to use it. Just don’t get caught. Oh, really? Hadn’t thought of that. Be kind of the old gal.

Don’t hurt her. She’s someone’s mother. She’s someone’s grandmother. Yeah. I’ll treat you with kid gloves, latex. Anyway, hopefully soon this little be over.

So you think if we track down this greener guy, he lead us to wolf? I sure hope so, because if we can find Wolf, we’ll be able to prove that. My dad and your brother did brainwash my Uncle Stephan.

I’m sorry, I’m, I’m probably getting Musk out on your jacket. No, no, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to just . No, it. It’s okay. That felt better being pulled into someone’s arms and being pushed away. I just can’t stop thinking about Brady. I wish I could forget about him for just a few minutes. Maybe I can help with that.

You look like a movie star. I do not. Yes you do, but I lie to you. Okay. Here sweetie. Here’s some club soda. I’m sort of hungry. I mean, that’s good. That’s good. That means you’re feeling better. You’ve jettison the waste basket. Ah,

I’m glad you’re not finding anymore. Yeah. Well, there’s one thing that your dad and I can agree on is that we love you very, very much. Hey, you don’t ever have to worry about us. Okay? Come

I don’t worry Animals. Hm.

Calm down, mom. If anybody knows how to pull off a kidnapping, it’s you.

I know I never made you proud, but right now you are my pride and joy.

Ooh, I’ll go to Chuck on dinner. Oh, you know what? I already did that. You know your cook. She’s gonna make us those catfish nuggets that I love so much. We’re having fried catfish, . Sure. And she’s gonna add a lot of side pepper spicy when she pound in them out. Oh good. I look forward to that. Coming out in the morning,

Huh? I’m just.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Sarah searches her motel room for more roaches and ends up tossing the can of bug spray across the room right as Xander comes home.

Kristen puts a photo of her and Brady on the mantle at John and Marlena’s. Brady walks in and accuses her of being behind Chloe quitting her job at Basic Black to go to DiMera Headquarters.

Stefan walks in to the DiMera office as Wendy finishes her phone call with Johnny. Wendy says she didn’t hear him come in. Stefan responds that he heard her say his name and questions who she is. Wendy introduces herself as Li’s sister and says it’s nice to meet him. Stefan questions who she was talking to about him and why.

At the DiMera Mansion, Susan tells EJ that Johnny told her something that he didn’t want her to tell him and claims she is the most honest person and she doesn’t like to keep secrets between them so she’s going to tell EJ what Johnny said. Johnny tells her to go ahead and get it over with. Susan claims that Johnny is just sick from everything that has been going on the past week. Susan blames it on Johnny missing Ava.

Ava hides out in the DiMera Crypt with a bag, rope, a gun, chloroform and a rag. Ava puts the rope in to the bag and then gets a text from Tripp, asking if she’s sure she doesn’t want to come to Seattle. Tripp then sends another text saying he’s worried about her and asks where she’s staying and if she has enough money. Ava ignores it and puts the towel and bottle in the bag, then gets a third text from Tripp, pointing out that she said there was nothing left for her in Salem, so he doesn’t get why she’s still there. Ava then picks up the gun when she gets another text from Tripp, saying he hopes that she’s not doing something she’s going to regret. Ava holds the gun in one hand and her phone in the other as Tripp sends another text, offering to buy her a plane ticket to Seattle. Ava then puts the gun down and starts to respond to Tripp, but her dead son Charlie reappears and tells her to not even think about it.

Xander tells Sarah that he’ll get some more roach spray when he goes out and hopes it will be the last can they need. Sarah asks if that means the job interview went well. Xander responds that he did connect with one prospect that seems promising which excites Sarah, who says she can’t wait to hear all about it.

Kristen claims to Brady that she doesn’t keep up with Chloe anymore. Brady questions her having no idea that Li offered Chloe a job at DiMera. Kristen claims she doesn’t and questions if he thinks Li is lying to him. Brady says he feels when Chloe has a sudden change, that Kristen orchestrated it. Kristen claims to barely know Li Shin and questions why he would take orders from her. Kristen says that Li reports to EJ and EJ fired her. Brady questions her expecting him to believe that she just stopped pulling the strings because she’s living here now. Brady argues that Kristen is the only one that benefits from Chloe quitting Basic Black. Kristen suggests that Chloe could have decided a job at DiMera was a step up and suggests Brady could be supportive. Brady remarks that he’s surprised Li would offer Chloe any sort of position since her personnel file would be full of bad reviews from Kristen. Kristen says maybe Li doesn’t care about her opinion or he thought that Chloe would do a better job if she wasn’t so distracted by Brady. Brady remarks that he moved Kristen in but he hasn’t moved on because he loves Chloe more than he ever has. Kristen comments that he’ll get some perspective now. Kristen claims she didn’t get Chloe the job, but she does think it’s a very positive change for all three of them.

Stefan questions Wendy again as to why she said his name. Wendy claims that she was updating their electronic records and his file jumped out at her as problematic because according to their HR records, he is dead. Stefan says he’s been running in to that a lot lately. Wendy asks what it feels like to be him and says it must be weird to wake up and suddenly realized you missed four years of your life. Stefan responds that it’s good to be alive but admits that it hasn’t been easy. Wendy says she can imagine since his wife has his job and is engaged to her brother. Stefan responds that Gabi doesn’t have that job anymore and as far as he’s concerned, Li can have her. Wendy calls Gabi interesting to her and says it’s impressive that she has a prison record but became CEO of DiMera. Wendy guesses Gabi must be really smart and notes that she’s also beautiful. Stefan admits that Gabi used to impress him too, but not anymore. Stefan adds that he kind of hates to think about their time together. Wendy states that she would hate to see her brother get hurt. Wendy asks if Stefan would mind telling her what happened to make him hate her. Wendy points out that he must have loved Gabi once and asks if he’s sure he will never love her again.

EJ questions Johnny telling Susan that he still has feelings for Ava. Johnny claims he didn’t realize it until he was talking to Susan about it as she has a way of knowing things you don’t want to admit. Susan tells EJ that he should know by now that not much gets past her. Johnny knows he told EJ that he was over it and that Ava lying about her marriage to Jake was low. EJ points out that it was also illegal. EJ calls Ava a master manipulator and talks about how Ava and Gabi cooked up this phony marriage after Jake died. EJ adds that Ava made Johnny an ally with her sad story about her dead husband. EJ encourages Johnny that being taken in by a woman doesn’t make him weak, it makes him human. Susan adds that Johnny will get over it. EJ agrees and declares that Ava will never step foot in this town again.

Ava questions what her vision of Charlie is doing here. Charlie questions her about Tripp still wanting her to move in with him and says that’s not the life she wants. Ava responds that she misses her son. Charlie argues that he’s her son too and he’s right here. Charlie asks if Ava wants her revenge against EJ. Charlie orders Ava to put the gun in the bag and stop thinking about wimping out. Ava responds that she’s not sure she can.

Xander tells Sarah that he would hate to jinx the job by talking about it before it’s a sure thing. Sarah asks if he can’t tell her anything about it. Xander responds that it makes good use of some of his skills and it could pay really well. Sarah asks if she shouldn’t be worried about him not telling her the details. Xander insists he’s a changed man. They then get interrupted by another roach. Xander grabs Sarah’s planner book to smash it and when he does, it pops open, revealing the check that Maggie gave Sarah. Xander questions why Maggie wrote her a check.

Stefan tells Wendy that he doesn’t even know her but she’s asking him to talk about something so personal. Wendy hoped he could put her mind at ease about her brother getting hurt. Wendy mentions hearing that Stefan and Gabi were really in love, so she questions what made him change his mind about her. Stefan admits that he doesn’t remember. They sit together as Stefan assumes that she’s heard all the rumors about how and why he’s back. Wendy mentions Dr. Rolf. Stefan jokes that people don’t seem to die in his family and it’s more like they get deactivated and put in cold storage until they’re useful again. Stefan adds that Gabi was convinced that Dr. Rolf did something to erase his feelings for her, but Rolf swears that he did no such thing and Gabi bought it, so that works for him and he guesses he stopped loving her on his own. Wendy admits she’s not reassured. Stefan tells Wendy that Gabi is his past and he’s very much looking forward to his future. Wendy asks if there’s someone else. Stefan says he might say that. Chloe then walks in and Stefan declares there she is.

Brady states that he broke up with Chloe and let Kristen move in because if he hadn’t, she would’ve let Marlena, Kate, and Kayla die. Brady says that’s the kind of woman she’s always going to be. Brady adds that Kristen can fix it so that Chloe changes jobs, but she’s not going to change the way he feels because he loves Chloe and always will. Kristen points out that he used to say those same words to her. Kristen blames Victor letting her believe that her little girl was dead. Brady reminds Kristen that whatever woman he loved before, he doesn’t know if she ever existed. Kristen warns Brady that she has the means to keep Marlena, Kate, and Kayla alive. Brady responds that it’s the only reason she’s living in this house. Kristen argues that Rachel likes them being a family and she wants them to be a happy one. Brady argues that’s never going to happen and questions her not understanding that. Kristen tells him that Chloe will be better off as she’s accepted reality even though he hasn’t. Kristen adds that now Brady can focus on them. Brady complains that Kristen blackmailed her way in to the house and he’s never going to change how he feels. Rachel then walks in and questions why they are fighting again.

EJ gets a call and steps out to answer it. Johnny then thanks Susan for not telling EJ what they were really talking about. Susan complains that she doesn’t like lying to her only son, but if he did do something terrible to his brother then she thinks the truth should come out. Johnny asks if Susan has any vibes about him being on the right track. Susan says the spirits only tell her what they want her to know. Susan hopes that EJ had nothing to do with the scrambling of Stefan’s brain. Susan reminds Johnny that he’s going to have to prove it in front of God and everyone else if he did.

Sarah informs Xander that Maggie came to see her this morning and offered a little money to hold them over. Xander reminds her that he told her he would get them out of this and asks if she has any faith in him. Sarah assures that she does and offers to tell Maggie no if he doesn’t want to take the money but Xander stops her.

Charlie questions Ava’s doubts. Ava brings up that Jake hated EJ so she’s sure he wouldn’t mind her going after him, but not like this. Ava notes that Susan was Jake’s aunt. Charlie insists nothing will happen to Susan and they will just hold her for a big ransom to hit EJ’s wallet. Charlie urges Ava to be her authentic self; an evil bitch. Charlie reminds Ava that she already hired Xander, so there’s no turning back now.

Stefan introduces Chloe to Wendy. Stefan asks Wendy to give them a minute so he can speak to Chloe in private, so Wendy exits. Stefan tells Chloe that he stopped by the Salem Inn to see her but she already left, so he asks what she’s doing here. Chloe reveals that Li offered her a job here and she accepted it which Stefan says is great and congratulates her. Chloe hopes it works out. Stefan admits he’s surprised since he thought she loved her job at Basic Black. Chloe responds that she does, but she can’t spend that much time with Brady anymore so she had to get out of that office.

Kristen claims to Rachel that she and Brady weren’t fighting. Rachel says it sounded like they were. Brady explains that sometimes adults just have to raise their voices when talking about important things. Rachel responds that she doesn’t like it and that it makes her tummy hurt. Rachel says it’s been hurting all day which Brady questions. Kristen checks her and notes she’s feeling kind of feverish. Kristen worries that it could be her appendix and says they should get her to the emergency room.

Xander apologizes to Sarah for being an ass. Xander says he loves Maggie but hates that she thinks he can’t take care of her. Sarah assures that Maggie was just trying to help. Xander declares that he won’t live off Maggie or Sarah but he’s just stressed about the job falling through like all the others. Sarah says she has a good feeling about it but asks if it’s anything illegal. Xander then gets a text from Ava, ordering him to meet her in the DiMera crypt now. Xander claims to Sarah that they want him back for a second interview. Sarah is excited for him and then rips up Maggie’s check to prove her faith in him. Sarah kisses Xander and tells him to go turn on the charm. Xander agrees to do his best.

Susan argues that Johnny can’t prove anything that didn’t happen. Johnny declares that if EJ did do something to Stefan, he’s going to find out what it was. Johnny then gets a text from Wendy, saying she has new info and tells him to meet her at Allie’s apartment. Johnny tells Susan that he might be onto something. Susan warns him to be careful as she is sensing some danger in the house. Johnny thanks Susan again for covering for him as he exits the mansion. EJ comes back in and asks where Johnny is. Susan responds that he had to go some place. EJ asks her if something is wrong. Susan states that somebody just knocked over someone else’s grave.

Ava tells her vision of Charlie that Xander is on his way. Charlie encourages that she’s doing the right thing.

EJ tells Susan that he’s sorry her premonitions have been worrying her. Susan says sometimes her gifts just feel like a heavy load. EJ adds that he knows when she’s not being honest with him. EJ questions if she and Johnny were really talking about Ava when he walked in on them with their heads together.

Johnny goes to see Wendy at Allie’s. Johnny tells her that first he has to tell her that Susan knows what they are doing. Johnny tells her not to worry since Susan doesn’t know anything about her and promised not to tell EJ anything. Wendy asks if he’s sure he can trust her. Johnny responds that Susan might be a little weird, but she doesn’t break a promise. Johnny asks Wendy what she got. Wendy responds that she talked to Stefan after he just walked in to the conference room and she got him talking about he and Gabi. Wendy informs Johnny that Stefan said he has no idea why he stopped loving Gabi. Johnny guesses Dr. Rolf did something to him. Wendy notes that Stefan said Gabi thought the same thing but that Dr. Rolf swore he didn’t. Johnny bets that they got rid of Rolf because Gabi started sniffing around. Wendy brings up that if Li flew Dr. Rolf out of town, he wouldn’t fly him commercial so it seemed logical that he would use the DiMera jet, but she found out that Li hasn’t booked the jet in months. Johnny asks if he came over just for her to tell him that they hit a dead end. Wendy says no and reveals that she also found out that Li requested a list of former DiMera pilots which seemed suspicious to her. Wendy then presents the list of pilots to Johnny and offers to start running background checks to see what they can find. Johnny takes a look and tells Wendy that he doesn’t think she’ll have to do that.

Brady feels Rachel is a little warm but doesn’t think she has a fever. Brady asks if she needs to throw up from too much Halloween candy. Brady suggests Rachel lie down on the couch for a bit and assures that she’ll be okay. Kristen brings up Rachel having a bone marrow transplant so she thinks she should get checked out. Brady asks if she’s questioning his parenting skills. Kristen insists that she’s not but doesn’t know what she would do if anything happened to Rachel. Brady notes that Rachel also gets motion sickness so he doesn’t want to put her in a car while she’s nauseous. Kristen wishes doctors made house calls. Brady brings up that Sarah Horton might. Kristen declares that if Sarah is willing to come, she would be forever in her debt.

Xander meets Ava in the DiMera crypt and comments on that being an interesting place to meet. Ava points out that Xander is on the DiMera property and Susan happens to be in the mansion right now. Xander questions if Ava is asking him to grab her tonight. Ava confirms that she’s asking him to grab Susan right now.

Stefan comments that Chloe doesn’t seem too happy about her new job. Chloe admits she’s kind of miserable about it. Stefan knows it must hurt but encourages that she’s doing the right thing. Chloe knows Brady cares about her and maybe even still loves her, but she doesn’t understand moving Kristen in and she never will. Stefan tells her that he’s so sorry. Chloe brings up all the plans that they made for their future and now she knows those plans will not happen, so she decided not seeing Brady was better than seeing him under these circumstances. Stefan is glad she’s taking care of herself. Chloe cries that she just wishes it didn’t hurt so much. Stefan encourages that things are going to get better as he hugs her.

Sarah goes to check on Rachel and encourages that she just needs more fruit and vegetables and less candy. Rachel complains that she likes candy but agrees to have less. Brady notes that Rachel’s also been under a lot of stress the last couple of months which Sarah notes can also cause a stomachache. Kristen states that situation has been taken care of and handled. Brady asks if there’s no emergency. Sarah confirms it’s not her appendix. Brady thanks Sarah for coming over. Sarah says she’s always happy to see Rachel. Sarah brings Rachel a pair of sunglasses with flashing lights which she says she loves. Sarah thinks she’ll be feeling better soon. Sarah encourages trying water and then moving on to tea and other drinks. Brady thanks Sarah. Sarah exits and Kristen steps out with her, offering to pay her for her time and trouble. Sarah responds that she was happy to do it for Brady and Rachel. Kristen knows it couldn’t have been easy. Sarah admits she likes taking care of Rachel and always will. Kristen asks Sarah to send her a bill, saying it’s the least she can do. Sarah asks if she means after kidnapping her and nearly ruining her life. Sarah responds that she doesn’t want her money. Kristen points out that Xander isn’t working. Sarah tells her that Xander has a job interview right now, so they are fine, as she then walks away.

Johnny points out the name Ned Granger as one he recognizes on the list of pilots as he did a lot of under the table work for his family and Kristen used him to kidnap two women. Wendy jokes that she thought her family was weird. Johnny feels he should’ve thought of Ned before. Wendy questions why he’s not in prison. Johnny explains that Chad made a deal with him to keep him out of prison in exchange for the information on where Abigail was. Johnny feels that Li and EJ would know they could bribe Ned so they would hire him to do it.

Susan doesn’t like EJ calling her a liar. EJ says that’s not what he’s doing but Johnny is quite good at convincing people to do what he wants. EJ suspects that Johnny is still angry at him regardless of what he says. EJ questions if Johnny asked Susan to choose sides between them. Susan insists that he didn’t and if he did, she wouldn’t do it because she loves them both and wants what’s best for them.

Xander complains that Ava can’t ask him to grab Susan right now as he doesn’t have a plan or know who is in the house. Ava responds that she made the plan and she knows who is in the house and how it operates. Ava declares that this has to happen now or someone is going to get cold feet. Xander argues that there has to be an easier way to get money out of EJ than kidnapping his mother under his nose. Xander asks her to find out when Susan leaves the house. Ava doesn’t know how long Susan plans to stay and points out that they could both use that ransom money sooner than later. Ava shows Xander the bag with everything he needs. Xander questions the chloroform. Ava tells him that he knows how to use it and tells him to just not get caught. Ava then instructs Xander to be kind and not hurt Susan since she is someone’s mother and grandmother. Xander hopes soon this will all be over.

Wendy asks Johnny if he thinks Ned Granger will lead them to Dr. Rolf. Johnny hopes so because if they can find Dr. Rolf, they’ll be able to prove that EJ and Li did brainwash Stefan.

Chloe tells Stefan that she can’t stop thinking about Brady and wishes she could forget about him for just a few minutes. Stefan suggests he can help with that as he then kisses Chloe.

Rachel mentions being sort of hungry which Brady and Kristen encourage is a good thing. Rachel comments that she’s glad they aren’t fighting anymore. Kristen assures her that they both love her very much. Brady tells Rachel that she’ll never have to worry about them. Kristen then puts her hand on Brady’s as they hug Rachel.

Ava’s vision of Charlie reappears and tells her to calm down, encouraging that if anyone knows how to pull off a kidnapping, it’s her. Charlie knows he never made Ava proud but says right now, she is his pride and joy.

Xander sneaks outside while Susan and EJ talk in the living room about having dinner. EJ heads to the kitchen while Xander sneaks in as Susan talks about danger. Xander then grabs Susan with the chloroformed rag over her face. Susan grabs a glass trinket off the table but drops it and it smashes on the floor as she passes out and Xander drags her away.
