Update written by Joseph

Chanel goes to see Paulina in her office and questions what’s wrong as she looks really serious. Paulina suggests she sit down.

Alex goes to see Stephanie at her home and calls her the biggest hypocrite he’s ever met because he has to follow all the rules while she can do whatever the hell she wants. Stephanie questions what he’s talking about. Alex argues that she said she would only continue working at Titan if he stopped asking her out, so he’s been trying to keep it professional and business. Chad questions him showing up at her house with wild accusations not crossing any lines. Alex then asks if Stephanie sleeping with the new guy she just hired is not a violation of her rules or if she just makes an exception for Chad DiMera.

Johnny goes to leave the DiMera Mansion right as Wendy Shin arrives and says she’s looking for Stefan DiMera as she walks in.

At the DiMera Office, Gabi tells Stefan to look in to her eyes and questions where all of his love for her has gone. Stefan then has a flashback to admitting his feelings for Gabi. EJ asks Stefan what’s wrong.

Johnny tells Wendy that he didn’t invite her in but she says it’s too late. Johnny asks who the hell she is and what she wants. Wendy repeats that she needs to see Stefan but Johnny tells her that he’s not home. Wendy asks if he knows where she can find him. Johnny threatens to call security unless she tells him who the hell she is. Wendy then introduces herself and asks who the hell he is.

Stefan responds that what’s wrong is Gabi stole his job and he wants it back. Li argues that even if the shareholders vote their way, Stefan’s insane if he thinks EJ is going to let him run the company. Stefan tells him that he and EJ are going to run it together as co-CEOs. EJ notes that didn’t work out for he and Chad but he knows Chad will be overjoyed that they are back in charge at DiMera. Stefan says his first order will be to clean up and take out the trash. Li warns that this is a mistake while EJ declares that all traitors must go. Li tells Gabi not to worry and he will do everything in his power to help her. EJ points out that Li can’t help her because they will be getting rid of him too.

Stephanie questions how Alex came to the conclusion that she and Chad are sleeping together. Alex responds that he’s not an idiot and reveals that he saw them last night at Julie’s Place with a bottle of champagne. Alex complains about Stephanie lecturing him all this time about sexual harassment in the workplace. Alex tells Stephanie to just be honest because it’s clear what happened between her and her new employee last night and now here they are on the morning after. Chad jokes that he thought he said he wasn’t an idiot.

Chanel sits down and asks Paulina why she is here. Paulina responds that it’s about her campaign. Chanel says they can’t make more cookies but Paulina says it’s not about that. Paulina then reveals the file folder to her.

Li argues that his father is chairman of the board so they can’t oust him. EJ responds that he can and says he’ll be back shortly with Stefan’s voting proxy. EJ suggests they contact the shareholders to let them know they will be calling a meeting even though they already know the outcome. EJ laughs and then exits. Stefan advises Gabi to take anything she needs from the desk. Gabi argues that she knows it’s still there. Stefan can’t wait until she’s gone so he doesn’t have to listen to this anymore. Stefan then orders Gabi to clean out her desk. Li tells her not to do anything and declares that he’s going to find EJ and put a stop to this. Stefan warns that there’s nothing he can do to stop it. Li says they will see about that and goes after EJ.

Wendy informs Johnny that Li Shin is her older brother. Johnny remembers hearing that she kicked ass at the DiMera Gala in Hong Kong and calls it impressive. Johnny asks what she needs to see Stefan about. Wendy says that’s none of his business. Johnny introduces himself. Wendy asks if he knows when Stefan will be home. Johnny says he just left so it will probably be awhile. Wendy responds that she doesn’t have time to stick around but she’ll be back as she then exits the mansion.

Alex questions what Chad is laughing at. Stephanie states that Alex obviously knows she hired Chad and she’s been using her home as an office. Chad explains that with Kayla in the hospital and Steve staying with her, Stephanie has been here at home, working. Alex remarks that except when she’s out getting wasted with Chad. Stephanie informs Alex that Chad went home last night and came back this morning, pointing out that they are wearing different clothes than they were at Julie’s Place. Chad informs Alex that they didn’t sleep together. Stephanie suggests Alex go now because they have a lot of work to do. Chad adds that Stephanie is not a hypocrite but Alex has been a complete jackass.

Chanel is shocked by the folder and questions where it came from. Paulina responds that a sleazy lawyer Sloan Peterson brought it to her last night on behalf of a mystery client. Chanel questions Paulina being blackmailed and asks how they even know about this. Paulina doesn’t know as it happened so long ago that she was sure it would never come out. Chanel cries that it’s all her fault and that Paulina’s campaign could be ruined because of some stupid mistake she made in college. Paulina tells her to forget the campaign as that’s the last thing on her mind right now and she only cares about protecting her. Chanel worries about this getting out but Paulina assures that it won’t and that everything is under control. Sloan then enters and questions what makes her say that. Sloan introduces herself to Chanel and says she feel like they already met since she knows so much about her. Paulina warns Sloan not to talk to Chanel or even look at her. Sloan asks if they’ve come to any decision yet. Paulina argues that it hasn’t been 24 hours yet. Sloan informs her that her clients are getting antsy so she needs to know how they plan to proceed with the settlement offer. Paulina calls it blackmail. Chanel questions Sloan doing this for a living for people too afraid to show their faces. Chanel argues that she can’t do this. Sloan says there is a very simple solution but the clock is ticking. Paulina talks about dealing with people like her over the years and they all failed, so she doesn’t scare her. Sloan remarks that Chanel seems pretty scared. Paulina assures that her PR firm is handling the situation. Sloan calls it a lawsuit waiting to happen with a very unpleasant discovery process. Chanel calls her disgusting. Sloan suggests Chanel tell Paulina to deal with her directly. Paulina argues that Stephanie is trained to deal with delicate situations like this. Paulina then threatens to deal with her directly but says she has to get back to her campaign because she has more important things to deal with. Sloan argues that she is by far the most important thing she has to deal with. Sloan warns that if Paulina hasn’t discovered that by now, she soon will.

Alex admits maybe he jumped to conclusions and that he was surprised to come over and see Chad. Chad questions why he’s coming over at all. Alex says the point is that Stephanie has all these workplace rules that he’s trying to abide by but it’s impossible which she disagrees with. Alex asks how her date with Chad was then. Stephanie clarifies that it wasn’t a date and that they were celebrating his first day on the job. Alex questions how celebrating her new employee’s first day on the job is okay but if he wants to ask out his employee, it’s highly offensive and inappropriate. Chad explains that what happened between he and Stephanie was consensual. Alex thanks him for admitting there’s something between them.

Wendy sits in the town square with her laptop and tries hacking in to Li’s work e-mail but she can’t succeed. She complains and wonders what Li is hiding as Johnny jogs by and comments on her having a rough day at the virtual office.

Li follows EJ to the board room and says he needs to speak to him privately. EJ says there is nothing to discuss as they are going to vote Gabi out and once they are back in charge, Li will be fired and removed from the board. Li says he won’t be and warns that if EJ tries to get rid of him, he’ll make Stefan flip on him so fast that his head will spin.

Gabi reminds Stefan of something he got for her and argues that she triggered a memory. Stefan tells her to stop. Gabi argues that everyone in the room saw he got rattled because his feelings for her were trying to rise from the surface. Gabi points out that it’s just them now. Gabi tells him to look in to her eyes and tell her the truth. Stefan then admits he was thinking about them.

Sloan threatens to go straight to the press with this information. Paulina argues that she won’t do that because if she does, this is over and her clients will never get what they want from her. Chanel argues that this isn’t Paulina’s problem but hers. Sloan is pretty sure it’s Paulina’s problem too. Paulina warns her to keep her daughter’s name out of her mouth. Paulina orders Sloan to take it up with Stephanie. Sloan warns that if she doesn’t get the results she wants, she’ll be back. Paulina tells her to get the hell out of her office. Sloan then exits. Chanel cries to Paulina that she’s so sorry. Paulina hugs her and assures that it’s okay.

Alex argues that even if Chad and Stephanie didn’t have sex, there is something going on between them and asks her if he’s right. Chad responds that she doesn’t owe him an explanation. Alex agrees and says Stephanie can date whoever she wants but asks her not to paint him out to be a jackass when she is doing exactly what she told him that he couldn’t do. Alex tells Stephanie to just be honest with him that she’s not attracted to him. Chad points out that she has repeatedly. Alex says she can speak for herself. Stephanie would prefer to just end this conversation. Alex admits that he didn’t believe Stephanie wasn’t in to him and he thought maybe they would get to a point where she would feel comfortable. Alex adds that he would’ve quit his job because he thought they could have had something special. Alex states that he came over to tell Stephanie that he’s sorry about her mom being in the hospital and how he acted like a jerk at the hospital when he didn’t know. Stephanie says she insisted that she was fine but Alex says he still felt terrible. Alex talks about wanting to send flowers or text her but he decided to just come over. Alex hopes that her mom gets better soon. Stephanie thanks him. Alex then says he understands now that she’s not in to him and she never was and she’s found somebody else that she is in to. Alex declares that he will accept that and let them get back to what they were doing. Alex then exits the house.

Johnny questions Wendy trying to hack in to the DiMera e-mail server and says he used to work there so he recognizes the interface. Wendy responds that she works at DiMera too and is head of I.T. in Fairbanks. Johnny questions what she did to get banished there. Wendy talks about getting better grades than Li but the Shins couldn’t have the baby sister showing up the first born son. Wendy declares that she’s not going to take it anymore. Johnny asks if that’s what this is all about. Wendy doesn’t want to ruin Li’s life and is just looking for something to use to get what she wants which is being transferred to DiMera Headquarters in Salem. Wendy says her family is all about transactions. Johnny gets it but warns that the DiMera Office here is a snake pit and everyone who works there is a two faced liar with a new CEO every week. Wendy wants a chance to show what she can do. Wendy admits she has issues with Li but she still loves him and she’s actually a little worried about him. Johnny mentions overhearing her saying that she thought Li was hiding something. Wendy asks if he’s close with Stefan. Johnny admits that he just met him this morning because he’d been dead for four years. Wendy brings up Li being engaged to Stefan’s ex-wife. Wendy asks if it’s true that Stefan lost all interest in Gabi. Johnny confirms that Stefan told him that he didn’t love Gabi anymore. Wendy calls that a serious 180 and asks if he knows what happened there. Johnny says he has some ideas. Wendy says she does too and suggests they share them.

EJ argues that Li has no control over Stefan. Li asks who he thinks had him kept on ice for the past four years. EJ says it was Kristen but Li reveals that he’s wrong and that Kristen only stumbled upon Stefan when Jake died. Li explains that Kristen and Dr. Rolf brought Jake to Dr. Rolf’s lab to try to revive him and it didn’t work, but Stefan did get a new heart out of it. Li reveals that it was him, not Kristen, who continued to fund Dr. Rolf’s research until he was out of prison. Li then announces that Stefan came back to life on his orders, but only after he got Dr. Rolf to turn him against Gabi. EJ realizes that Dr. Rolf did brainwash Stefan then. Li confirms that he had it done and warns that he can have it undone.

Stefan tells Gabi that he was thinking about the time she had his heart ripped from his chest and gave it to Julie, claiming he felt flustered by a wave of a nausea as he realized what a snake she is. Stefan says he begins to feel ill every time he’s near her. Gabi wants him to admit his feelings for her. Gabi argues that their love is stronger than whatever Dr. Rolf did to him. Stefan shouts that Dr. Rolf brought him back to life. Gabi complains that they had amazing memories but now he has no emotional connection to them. Gabi questions why he doesn’t want to feel that love. Gabi asks Stefan to tell her where Dr. Rolf is and then she will make this right and make him whole again.

Paulina tells Chanel that she’s so sorry as she worked so hard to put this behind her. Paulina says it never occurred to her that running for Governor would lead to this being dug up but she should’ve known. Chanel insists it’s not her fault. Chanel feels terrible that this could ruin Paulina’s campaign. Paulina assures that Chanel means more to her and that is why she is going to drop out of the race.

Stephanie thanks Chad for the assist with Alex. Chad asks if Alex is always angry and irrational like that at work. Stephanie agrees he was angry but not irrational. Chad complains about Alex just assuming they almost slept together. Stephanie points out that they almost did. Chad feels that doesn’t give Alex the right to come over and start demanding answers about her personal life. Stephanie notes that Alex acknowledged that. Chad thinks Alex should just accept that Stephanie doesn’t have feelings for him. Stephanie feels guilty about Alex not knowing the whole truth. Chad tells her not to feel guilty unless she does have feelings for Alex.

Johnny tells Wendy his theory that Dr. Rolf may have brainwashed Stefan in to hating Gabi. Johnny says if anyone could do it, it’s him, but asks why. Wendy notes that Li could have put him up to it as he has a major motive. Johnny brings up that EJ has motive too since his chances of becoming CEO of DiMera would be over if Stefan got back with Gabi.

EJ points out that if Li unbrainwashes Stefan, he would lose Gabi. Li responds that Gabi wasn’t part of the plan and that he only kept Stefan around because he thought he could use him to gain power at DiMera, but he didn’t plan on falling for his widow along the way. Li says he’ll cut Gabi loose and end it. EJ points out that they are engaged. Li calls the company his life and admits he is willing to dump the woman he loves to retain his position. EJ doesn’t believe him. Li dares him to try him.

Stefan asks Gabi why he would tell her where Dr. Rolf is and says this has nothing to do with her. Gabi argues that it does and insists Dr. Rolf did something to him. Gabi says she is refusing to let him go because she knows he still loves her and that he can’t deny that feeling. Gabi says it will just get stronger until he cannot deny it any longer. Stefan reminds her that she is engaged to another man. Gabi accuses him of changing the subject because he’s afraid and she’s right that she’s still in his heart. Gabi points out that his heart is pounding and he can’t deny that.

Chanel tells Paulina that she can’t quit the race because it won’t help since they already have the information. Paulina refuses to pay the people off. Chanel offers to do it since the Bakery had a record quarter. Paulina won’t let her use her hard earned income to pay these people off, warning that they will just come back asking for more. Paulina declares that what Sloan is doing to them is illegal so they are going to shut her down before anyone finds out Chanel’s secret. Chanel questions how. Paulina informs her that Stephanie is on it as they speak. Paulina calls Stephanie smart and talented and she understands that confidentiality is of the utmost importance. Paulina adds that Chad signed an NDA because Stephanie hired him and he knows about neutralizing a threat. Paulina assures that Stephanie and Chad are all over this as they speak.

Stephanie tells Chad that they need to figure out this Paulina Price situation. Chad points out that she dodged him asking her about Alex. Stephanie doesn’t want to waste any more time on him. Stephanie worries that Sloan is going to call any minute and they need to have a strategy in place before she does. Sloan then shows up at the door. Stephanie thought they would schedule a meeting. Sloan shows their settlement offer and argues that her client deserves retribution and they’d like this go away as quickly and painlessly as possible without destroying Paulina’s campaign. Stephanie tells her that she will need some time to get the funds together and will call her when she’s ready. Sloan says that she’s making the right call and they will talk soon as she then walks away.

Wendy asks Johnny if he thinks EJ and Li could be working together. Johnny calls it possible since they both want the same thing. Johnny assures that he won’t say anything to EJ. Wendy asks if they don’t get along. Johnny calls EJ a condescending jerk who treats him like dirt, so if he’s trying to screw over Stefan, he wants to do something about it but he doesn’t know what yet as he has to figure out what’s going on first. Johnny then asks Wendy how she’d feel about teaming up together to find out the truth.

EJ and Li return the office with Stefan’s vote proxies. EJ says they will be back for the big vote. Li says they will be ready. Gabi asks if they came to an understanding. Li responds that they did.

Chad questions why Stephanie told Sloan that they would get the money together. Stephanie says she was just stalling for time since they didn’t have a plan. Stephanie worries that this is Paulina’s child and her future, so they can’t screw this up. Chad assures that they won’t. Stephanie wishes she was so sure.

Chanel cries that this did not have to happen if she had been more careful and made sure it stayed buried. Paulina assures that it was buried but someone dug it up to get rich and she will deal with that someone. Chanel feels she shouldn’t have to. Paulina feels she failed Lani but she won’t fail her. Paulina declares that she will never let down her children again as she hugs her.

Gabi asks Li what happened with EJ. Li responds that they came to a compromise of sorts but unfortunately, he still has the votes and there’s nothing they can do about that. Gabi asks if they are both out then. Li says no as he spoke to his father and he won’t allow his son to be fired. Gabi guesses he won’t protect her. Li says if there was any other way, he would never have agreed, but this way he can still be on the inside, fighting for her. Li calls it just a temporary setback and before they know it, they will both be back on top. Li hopes she understands that. Gabi is disappointed and devastated, feeling like she lost everything. Gabi cries that she just has Li’s love and loyalty. Gabi hugs Li and says she doesn’t know what she would do without him.

EJ and Stefan return home to the DiMera Mansion. Stefan pours bourbon and toasts to them as the two new CEOs of DiMera Enterprises and declares they did it. EJ responds that he’s afraid there’s been a slight change of plan because Li went running to his dad, who refused to go along with the plan to oust his son. EJ adds that Wei Shin also has some concerns about Stefan’s ability to run a company after being comatose for four years. EJ says they both know that he’s not impaired and that he just needs to see his abilities are in tact before putting him in charge. EJ states that Gabi will still be gone, he will be elected CEO, and Li will be remain on as his number two. Stefan questions if he’s left out in the cold then. EJ assures he will be given a high level executive position. Stefan questions EJ and Li running things. EJ responds that it’s the only deal that the board would approve but assures that it’s only temporary as he will find a way to get rid of Li and then he and Stefan will be on top together. EJ toasts to Stefan as his future co-CEO.

Wendy questions Johnny wanting her to team up with him when she doesn’t even know him. Johnny says he doesn’t know her either but he knows she’s smart and highly motivated. Wendy asks what if Johnny and EJ work things out and decide to stab her in the back. Johnny assures that won’t happen and that he could say the same about her but they both want the same thing. Johnny says two smart and highly motivated heads are better than one. Wendy then agrees to team up with Johnny.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Mama, what is going on? You look super serious.

I think you need to have a seat.

Did you just call me a hypocrite? I called you the biggest hypocrite I’ve ever met because I have to follow all the rules or else, and yet you can do whatever the hell you want. Ask. Chill out for a second. Seriously. Alex, what are you talking about? You said you would only continue working for Titan if I respected all of your boundaries.

You called it sexual harassment. If I were to do as much to ask you out for aroyo. So I had been trying to keep it strictly professional and only business, and showing up to your employees house on invited fire, enough crazy accusations that doesn’t cross any boundaries, and sleeping with the new guy who just hired is.

Or is that not a violation of your precious rules? Or do you just make an exception for somebody named Chad Damara?

Can I help you? I was just about to knock. I must be psychic. Look, if you’re here to, uh, sell a cable package, we’re not really, I’m not selling. I’m looking for stuff in Damara.

Look into my eyes. Okay. Sometimes after we, we were just looking to each other’s eyes please. Where is it gone? Where? Where is that gone?

I should have admitted it before now, but my pride, my ego wouldn’t let me do it. And I’m done with all that now. Now, if we never get outta here, I’m not leaving anything unfinished. That’s why I’m laying it all out on the line. I care for you. Get me Hernandez and S and I’m done and pretending I don’t,

what’s wrong,

like Sands through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

Um, Hello. I didn’t invite you into my house. Sue late. Who the hell are you and what do you want? I told you I need to see Stephan. Amira, My uncle’s not here. Do you know where I can find him? I know where I can find our head of security, and I’m gonna call him unless you answer my question. Who the hell are you?

I’m Wendy Shin. Who the hell are you?

What’s wrong is this conniving little bitch stole my job and I want it back. Even if the shareholders vote your way, you’re insane. If you think your brother will let you run this company, my brother and I are gonna run the company together as co CEOs. Although that arrangement didn’t work out for me and Chad, I know he’ll be overjoyed that the family is back in control of Damir at long miles.

And our first order of business will be two. Clean house. Take out the trash, if you will. You’re making a big mistake. Holy, you should know why now the Amirs of horror, nothing more than disloyalty all trades. Masco

Demy. Don’t worry, I’ll do everything in my power to help you. Unfortunately, Lee, you can’t help her since we’ll be getting rid of you.

So how did you come to the conclusion that Chad and I are sleeping together? Because I’m not an idiot, because I was at Julie’s place last night and I saw you two canoodling over a bottle of champagne. Oh, that’s an Olympic sport. Me thinking of canoeing from the moment to Titan hired you. You have been lecturing me, Stephanie.

You’ve been having my brother lecturing me about understanding what constitutes sexual harassment in the workplace and that there is a, a, a, a line that just cannot be crossed. Meanwhile, meanwhile, what? Meanwhile you. Stephanie, get down off of your fake moral high horse and just be honest with me. It is clear what happened between you and your new employee last night, and now here you are, the morning after I said you weren’t an idiot.

Okay, I’m sitting down now. Will you please tell me why I’m here? It’s about my campaign. Oh no mama. If you need more vote for Paulina cookies. We can’t right now. The bakery is swapped. It’s not about the cookies. Chanel. It’s about this.

My father’s chairman of the board. You can’t o. Oh, but I can, I’ll be back shortly with Stephan’s voting proxy. I’d suggest you contact the shareholders and let them know we’ll be calling a meeting Posthaste. Of course. It’s really a formality since we already know the outcome.

If there’s anything you need in that desk, now would be the time to take it. It’s still there. I know it is. I cannot wait until you are gone so I don’t have to listen to this God perak and travel anymore.

Now, clean out your desk, Gabby. Don’t do anything. I’m gonna go find EJ and put a stop to this like ej. There’s nothing you can do to stop it. We’ll see about that.

Wendy Shin, as in Leashing, he’s my older brother. Hey, wait a second. I, I think I heard about you yet. I heard you kick some serious ass at the, uh, Damara. Go in Hong Kong. That was you, right? Yeah. It was impressive. So what do you need to see Ste about? Well, that would be none of your business. Johnny Damara.

Do you know when your uncle might be home? Johnny Damara. Well, he just left, so it’ll probably be a while. Well, I don’t have time to stick around, but uh, I’ll be back.

Can’t wait.

What the hell are you laughing? You obviously know I hired Chad. I’ve been using this place as an office. Kayla’s in the hospital. Steve’s been with her 24 7 when Stephanie’s not with her parents. She’s been here working except when she’s out getting wasted with you. Okay. For your information, Chad went home last night and then he showed up here for work this morning.

Since you’re spying on us, maybe you realized that we’re wearing different clothes than we were at Julie’s place,

so you didn’t. Sleep together. No, we didn’t. Maybe you can go now. We have a lot of work to do. Right. Okay. For the record, Stephanie’s not a hypocrite, but you and my friend had been a complete jackass gas.

Where did this come from? Some sleazy lawyer named Sloan Peterson brought it to me last night on behalf of her mystery client. Well, what did they want? Hush money. They’re blackmailing you. How is that possible? How do they even know about this? I don’t know what happened so long ago. I, I was sure that it would never come out.

This was all my fault. Your campaign could be ruined because its stupid mistake I made in college. Chanel, Please forget the campaign. That is the last thing that is on my mind right now. Oh, I care about is protecting you. What?

It won’t. I’ll make sure of that. Trust me, she know everything is under control. And what makes you say that?

Hmm? You must be Chanel SLU Peterson. That’s okay. , I feel like we already met after all. I know so much about you. Don’t you talk to my daughter? Don’t you even look at her? I presume you brought her up to speed. Oh, on What a sleazy, bottom feeder you want. Yes, she knows. So have we come to any decisions here?

Well, you gave me 24 hours. It hasn’t been that long. My clients are getting antsy. Okay. I need to know how you plan to proceed with the settlement. Settlement of you, right? That’s what we’re calling blackmail these days. Apparently this is what you do for a living. You represent clients who wanna make bank by extorting people.

They, and they’re too afraid to show their faces. You really are scum. Chanel, no mama, she can’t do this. Your mother knows is a very simple solution here, but the clock is ticking. I’m in real estate and you know, over the years I have dealt with countless people, waste slimier than you trying to shake me.

They failed every day on one of them, so get this straight. Ms. Peterson, you don’t scare me. Your daughter seems pretty scared. Chanel has nothing to fear. My public relations firm is handling the situation. This is a PR matter. No, this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. One with a very unpleasant discovery process and oh, what there is to discover.

You’re disgusted. You’re just saying it like it is. Sweetheart, if I were you, I would tell my mother to deal with me directly. Ms. Johnson is trained in how to handle delicate situations such as this one. Hey, but if you prefer, you know, I can handle you myself. Roughly. Is that a threat? Oh, honey, that’s a promise.

Now, excuse me, I need to get back to my campaign. Lord knows I have more important things to deal with in the likes of you. I am by far the most important thing that you have to deal with. And if you haven’t discovered that by. You soon will, Honey,

maybe I jumped to conclusions. You think I’m surprised, dude? Okay. I didn’t plan on coming over here and expect to see you. Why are you coming over here at all? Anyway, the point is that she has all these workplace rules that I am sincerely trying to abide by, but. It is impossible. It’s really not. Okay.

Then tell me how your date with Chad went. It wasn’t a date we were celebrating his first day on the job. Fine. Then tell me how celebrating your new employee’s first day on the job is no problem at all. But if I want to ask out my employee to a lunch to discuss business, it is completely offensive and highly inappropriate.

All right. Let me mansplain this for you then. See what happened between Stephanie and me was consensual. There you go. There it is. Thank you, Chad. He admits it. There is something between you.

Okay. Big brother. Hacking into your personal laptop didn’t get me anywhere, so I’ll just access your work email from the damara server. Just type your password and two step verification. No way locked out. Dude, I’ve been lecturing you forever about having another layer of security and you do it now. Oh, damnit late.

What are you trying so hard to hide? Rough day at the virtual office. Huh? You again?

What are you doing? I need to speak with you privately. There’s nothing to discuss. Once Stephan gets you shares back, we’re gonna vote Gabby out, and once we’re back in charge, you’ll be fired and removed from the board. Now I won’t be, Excuse me, if you try to get rid of me, I’ll make your brother flip on you so fast.

Your head will spin.

I’ll take this. I like this one. I know you got it for me. Remember?

What, what just happened? No, I I saw it the same thing that happened earlier when I told you to look into my eyes when I said triggered a memory. My God, will you please stop? No, no, no, no, no, no step. I am not the only one. Everybody in this room saw it. You. You got rattled. And it’s because the feelings that you had for me that you still have for me, were trying to rise at the surface.

Okay. Look, it’s just us. It’s just the two of us. Do it again. Look into my eyes and this time just tell me the truth. You were thinking about us, weren’t you?

Yes.

Yes, I was.

You do realize that I could go straight to the press with this information. You good? But you won’t. Why? Because you know damn well if you do, it’s over. Your clients will never get what they want from me. Mama, this isn’t your problem. It’s mine. Oh no. I’m pretty sure it’s her problem too. Chanel, you keep my daughter’s name out your freaking mouth.

What are you gonna do? Slap me, mama. Let me handle this. Let me handle this, baby. I thought you wanted Stephanie Johnson to handle this. That’s right. I do. It’s called delegating Now. You want results? Take it up with her. Fine. But if I don’t get the results that I. I’ll be back. We’ll see about that now. You know what?

You just need to get the hell outta my office.

Oh, mama, I’m so sorry. No, no, it’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. Sweet, babe. This be so sweet, baby. Bigger. Come here. I got you. God, you, I got you. So you two didn’t have, There is something going on between you consensual. Yeah, I’m sure it is. Am I right? Yeah. She doesn’t owe you an explanation. No, she doesn’t owe me an explanation shed, Stephanie.

You can date whoever you want to be with, but please do not paint me into being a jackass because you’re doing exactly what you told me I couldn’t do. So instead of hiding behind this sexual harassment handbook, why don’t you just be honest with me? Tell me, you’re not attracted to me. She has repeatedly, and I believe that she can speak for herself.

I would prefer to just end this conversation.

Look Chad’s, right? You said you weren’t into me. I didn’t believe it. I thought you were hanging onto these rules. I also thought that maybe we would get to a point where you felt comfortable, whether that meant riding up the contract that Titan. Or me quitting my job cuz I would do that cuz I really think we could have had something special.

Anyways, I came over here to tell you that I am sorry about your mom, Stephanie Sonny told me she was sick and unfortunately it was too late for me because I already ran into you at the hospital and you were really upset and I acted like a jerk. No, I, I insisted I was fine. And not in a nice way. I still felt terrible and I was gonna send you flowers, but then son told me that was gonna be too romantic that I was gonna text you.

But I figured that was a little impersonal. So here I am and I really do hope that your mom gets better soon. Thanks. And honestly, I do understand you’re not into me. You never were, and you have found somebody else that you are. And I need to accept that, but I’m a big boy and I will let you two get back to whatever you were doing,

acting into the Damara email server. Course not. You know, I used to work there, so I recognize the interface. Well, I work at Damara too. Really? Never saw you around. Gonna keep me hidden. I’m head of it in Fairbank, , Alaska. What’d you do to get banished there? Got better test scores than Lee my whole life.

Better grades. So much. It was magna and all that, which should have put me in first position, but, The shins can’t have the baby sister showing up the first fourth son. So it was off to the tundra for me. That sucks. Fifth grade, I’m not gonna take it anymore. We rock on. So is that what, uh, is that what this is all about?

Hacking your email, unleash some digital revenge. I don’t wanna, bro, to his life, I’m just looking for something I can use to get what I want, which is, A transfer to Damara headquarters here in Salem. Okay. I know it sounds sketchy. This is how my family roles were all about transactions. No, I get it.

Believe me, it’s just the, uh, the damara office here is a snake pit. Really? Totally. I mean, everyone that works there is a two face liar. There’s a new CEO every other week. Trust me. It’s toxic. Yeah. Well, I want a chance to show what I can. Well, I do have issues with my brother. I still love him and I’m actually a little bit worried about him.

I might have overheard you saying you thought he was hiding something. Are you close with your Uncle Stephan? I actually just met him this morning. He’s kind of been dead for the last four years, so I’ve. I assume you know Lee’s engaged to his ex-wife. Yeah. Gabby Hernandez, the CEO of Damara Enterprises.

Yeah. Well my brother told me that Stephan lost all interest and Gabby is not true apparently. Yeah, when I talked to him this morning, um, told me he didn’t love her anymore. Sounds a pretty serious 180. Do you know what happened there? I have some ideas. So do I. So how about let we share?

What are you talking about? You have no control over Ste. Who do you think had kept on ice for the past four years? My sister wrong. Kristen only stumbled upon him after Jake died. Jake? She and Ralph brought Jake’s body to Ralph’s lab to try to revive him. It didn’t work. However, his twin brother did get a new heart out of him.

I see. But it was me, not Kristen, who continued to find Ralph’s research until he was released from prison. Stefan came back to life on my orders, but only after I got Ro. To turn him against Gabby. So Ralph did Brainwash. I had it done and I can have it undone.

You’re right. I was thinking about you. I was thinking about the time that you had my heart ripped from my chest and you gave it to Julie Williams. You’re liar. So if you’re wondering why I was feeling flustered, it’s because I felt this wave of nausea wash over me as I realized what a conniving snake you are.

Fact, every time I’m near you, I begin to feel physically ill, and every time you’re near me, you start to. Admit it. Why? Why won’t you just admit it? You know what? Soon you won’t even have a choice, because whatever RO did to you to make you hate me, the truth is stronger. Our love is stronger. Oh, please, Why can’t, Why do you even know?

Let Wolf do this to you? It’s taken so much from you. Ro brought me back to life. But that’s your life. What does that even mean? We have shared some amazing, wonderful memories together, and since you have been back, you have no emotional connection to them. Why? Why don’t you wanna feel that? The love, you know where Ralph is, please.

You know where he is. Just tell me where he is and I will fix it. I will, I will make this right and I, I’ll figure out how to make you hold again.

I’m so sorry baby. It worked so hard to put this behind you. What are you sorry for? It never occurred to me. Running for a governor can mean they dug this up. My past, my scholarships, yes, but yours ooh, politics and nasty business. I should have known. This isn’t your fault. I told Stephanie, she knew all my secrets.

This isn’t your secret, mama. It’s mine. I feel so terrible that this could ruin in your campaign. I know how much this means to you. Sweet child. You mean infinitely more? You mean everything. And that is why I am going to drop out of this.

Thanks for the assist with Alex. You need my help. Is he always like that at work? Like what? Angry, irrational. He was definitely angry, but I don’t think it’s fair to say that he was being irrational. But he saw us together last night and then again this morning he just assumes we slept together. We almost did.

because Sure. But that doesn’t give him the right to come over here and start demanding answers to by a, about your personal life. And he acknowledged that. Okay. Look, I just think that if you don’t have feelings for him, he should accept that. So hopefully he does, and that’s the end of it. I just feel guilty for him not knowing the whole truth.

Don’t feel guilty, but unless you do have feelings for him.

So you think this Dr. Roth guy might have brainwashed Stephan into hating Gabby. If anyone can do it, it’s him. But the question is why my brother could have put him up. He does have a pretty major motive to keep s Stephan and Gabby apart. So does my dad. Why would he care if Stephan gets back together with Gabby?

My dad’s chances of becoming CEO at the mirror are over. If you un brainwashed Stephan, you’ll lose cash. Abby was not part of the plan. I only kept your brother around because I thought I could use him to gain power at d. But you didn’t plan on falling for his widow along the way. Kar loose. I’m sorry, Gabby, I’ll end it.

She’s your fiance and this company is my life. So you are willing to dump the woman you love to retain your position here, correct?

I don’t believe you. Try me

really. You think I’m going to tell you where Ralph is? Why would I do that? So we can get answers? No, no, no. Gabby, there is no we, This has nothing to do with you. This has everything to do with me and what you feel when we’re together. I have already told you how. No, I know. I’m disgusted. We’re Pauls. Yes, We get it.

I. But that’s because Wolf did something to you. I don’t know. Maybe he put a micro chip in your head and maybe he shot you off. It’s a magic potion. But you know what? I am not letting this go. I’m not letting you go because I know the truth. The truth is that you still love me. And no matter how much time goes by, you can’t deny that feeling and it’s just gonna get stronger and stronger until you cannot deny any longer.

Gabby, have you forgotten that you are engaged to another man? You changed the subject because you’re afraid I’m right.

I’m

It’s you deny that.

Mama, you can’t quit the race. Why not? Well, first off, I won’t let you. Besides it won’t help. They already have the information. What they want now is the cash. I’m not giving them a damn does. Okay, well then let me Sweet bits had a record quarter. Absolutely not. You are not going to use your hard earned income to pay some creep.

And if we paid this once, they’ll just keep coming back asking for more. Chanel. What this lawyer is doing to us is illegal now we just going to shut her down before anyone ever finds out your secret. S J P R is on a comprehensive strategy as we speak. And you trust her. This Stephanie? Mm-hmm. . I do. She’s smart, she’s talented, and she understands that confidentiality is of the utmost importance and.

Chad Damara signed an nda. Chad Damara. Mm-hmm. . Stephanie hired him. , my man. He knows a thing or two about neutralizing a threat. Don’t worry, baby. I’m sure the two of them, they’re all over this. As we speak, we need to figure out this p a price situ. It’s a nice dodge. What do you mean? I just asked you about Alex.

Okay. Can we not waste any more time on him? Sloan Peterson’s gonna call any minute and we need to have a strategy in place before she does, if that’s Alex again.

Ms. Johnson, SLU Peterson. I was expecting a call on a home visit. I’m a fan of the personal touch. And you are Chad Jamira. I am. Chad’s my new associate. Yes. I know we spoke on the phone, so should we get into it? We were supposed to schedule a meeting. I thought I’d expedite the process. So this is our settlement offer.

I’m sure you’ll agree that the figure is more than reasonable. My client deserves retribution, of course, but we’d like to make this go away as quickly and quietly as possible without destroying this prices campaign. We’re big fans, right? We’ll need some time to get the funds together. I will reach out once I have everything in order.

You’re making the right call talks in.

Do you think my brother and your father could be working together? I don’t know. It’s possible, right? They both want the same thing. Johnny, please don’t say anything about us. So my dad, No, don’t worry. I won. What do you do not get along? Uh, let’s just say he’s a condescending control freak who treats me and everyone I care about.

Like they’re, so, if he’s trying to screw over my Uncle Stephan, I wanna do something about it. Like what? I don’t know yet. First I gotta figure out what’s going on. Yeah, I’d like to know that myself. So, Wendy Shin, how would you feel about teaming up together to find out the truth?

Good news, brother. I have your process. We’ll be back for the big vote. We’ll be ready. Did you two come to an understanding? Yes, we did.

Why’d you tell Sloan that we’d get the money together? I thought Pauline had no intention of caving. She doesn’t, and she. I was just stalling for time because we still don’t have a plan. We, we’ll come up with one. This is Pauline’s child, her future, her freedom. We can’t mess this up. We won’t. I wish I was so sure.

This did not have to happen if I had been more careful. Made sure this stayed buried. Oh no, it was. It was buried. But after all these years, someone dug it up to get rich and. I’m gonna deal with that summer. Yeah. But I wish you didn’t have to. No. Your poor sister, she, she paid the price for my mistakes. I won’t fail you.

But you didn’t. Uhuh Never again. Never again. Chanel. Never will I ever let down my children again.

What happened with ej? We came to a compromise of sorts. Unfortunately, he still has the votes. Nothing we can do about that. So we’re both out. No, I spoke with my father. He won’t allow his son to be fired.

Right? But he won’t protect me. C, if there were any other way, I’d never have agreed. This way, I’m still on the inside where I can keep fighting for you. For us,

this is just a temporary setback. Before you know it, we’ll both be back on top. I hope you understand it. Disappointed. I devastated, actually. I feel like I’ve lost everything.

I have, I, I have you, I have your love, your loyalty. What I would do without you, Lee,

uh, it’s a bit early for Bourn. It’s a big day. To the two new CEOs at Damara Enterprises. You did it, Brother Stephan. I’m afraid there’s been a Slack changer plan. No thought it was all ironed out, as did I, but Lee went running to his daddy. Who refused to go along with the plan to ask his son, I’m afraid.

Way also has some concerns about you, specifically your ability to run a company after you’ve been Como for years. Damn him. Of course, you and I are both know that you are not impaired. He just needs to see that your cognitive abilities are hack before he put you in charge. Mm. So what’s the bottom line here?

Gabby is still gone. Thank God. I will be elected CEO and Lee will stay on as my number two and I’ll be left on the court. No, not at all. You’ll be given a high level executive position, but you and Lee will be running things. The only deal the board would approve, but I assure you it is only temporary. I will find another way to get rid of Lee, and soon enough, you and I will be on top together

to my future co ceo.

You want me to team up with? I don’t even know you. No, I don’t know you either. But I know that you are a smart, highly motivated individual like myself. Don’t wanna look like a guy you can trust. Not really. Come on. Look, maybe you and your dad are getting along right now. What if you two work things out and then decide to stab me in the bag?

That is not gonna happen. And I can say the same thing about you and your brother. Look Wendy, we both want the same. And two smarts. Highly motivated heads are better than one.

Okay. Okay. Let’s do this. Right.

Update written by Joseph

Alex has a dream about being in bed with Stephanie and then Chad appearing in the bed as well. Alex then wakes up in bed with Allie and Chanel.

Stephanie is at home on the phone with Steve, telling him that she got an emergency message from Paulina, so she’s heading to see her now and will be at the hospital after. Stephanie takes two pills from her purse and then checks the mirror, noting that she doesn’t look too hungover. Stephanie then goes to leave as Chad arrives at the door.

Li calls Dr. Rolf, leaving a message questioning where he is and why he’s not answering his calls. Li warns that Gabi is looking for him and is already suspicious that he did something to Stefan to make him hate her. Li adds that Dr. Rolf better be in his lab when he gets there and declares that he’s not about to lose Gabi to that bastard. Li hangs up and goes to leave his room but opens the door and is surprised to see his sister,  Jing-Wen aka Wendy Shin, has arrived.

Johnny storms in to the living room of the DiMera Mansion to confront EJ but finds Stefan instead. Stefan says EJ told him that Johnny moved back in last night. Johnny responds that they’ll see how long that lasts. Johnny adds that he was glad to hear Stefan’s not dead. Johnny asks if EJ is around as he really needs to talk to him. Stefan informs Johnny that EJ left about 20 minutes ago.

Gabi finishes a phone call outside of her office, threatening to find a new head of security if he doesn’t find Dr. Rolf by noon. Gabi then heads in to the office to find EJ sitting at the desk.

Allie and Chanel wake up in bed with Alex. Allie notes that it was quite a night. Alex says part of him feels like he’s still dreaming and jokes with them that his dream came true.

Stefan tells Johnny that EJ told him what Ava did. Johnny calls it a mistake and says EJ is making a federal case about it. Stefan is not surprised that EJ is furious. Johnny argues that EJ is delighted because he found a way to get even more money and that EJ would’ve done exactly what Ava did. Stefan argues that EJ is trying to get back something that was stolen from this family. Stefan declares that this isn’t about money but about making sure Gabi gets kicked to the curb. Johnny reminds Stefan that Gabi is his wife. Stefan says not for long. Johnny brings up how everybody said how happy they were together and how crazy he was about her. Stefan responds that he’s not crazy about her now and that Gabi is about to get exactly what’s coming to her. Johnny calls that intense and asks what exactly Dr. Rolf did to him.

Gabi tells EJ to get out as she has work to do. Gabi threatens to call security as he has no right to be there. EJ remarks that one of them doesn’t have the right and they both know who that is.

Li questions Wendy showing up at his door with no heads up and asks what it’s about this time. Wendy reminds him that it’s about the promise that was made to her about her dream job, so she questions where it is.

Chad apologizes to Stephanie for not calling before showing up. Stephanie says it’s okay and he just surprised her. Chad says he just wanted to come over before work to talk so she invites him in. Chad says he would like to apologize for last night. Stephanie assures there is no need as they both had a lot to drink and are paying the price this morning. Stephanie says last night, reality had beaten them both up so the second bottle of champagne was a mistake and so was the nightcap. Stephanie adds that before they did something stupid, Chad did the thinking for both of them and she thanks him for that. Chad tells her that he really enjoyed working with her and talking to her, so he really doesn’t want to screw that up. Stephanie suggests they forget what happened after leaving Julie’s Place. Stephanie brings up the message that she got from Paulina, sounding like an asteroid is going to hit Salem. Chad offers to come with her. Stephanie agrees, noting that she could use all the help she can get as they then exit together.

Chanel and Allie relate to Alex dreaming about a threesome. Alex then gets out of bed and goes to take a shower. Allie feels there is something going on with him. Chanel responds that Alex is in love with them. Allie doesn’t believe that but Chanel thinks last night freaked him out because they are so hot that he fell in love with them. Allie argues that Alex doesn’t even know them that well and hasn’t known them long enough to be in love with them. Chanel feels he knows them enough and says she saw it in his eyes, so she knows she’s right and that there is love in the air.

Stefan tells Johnny that Dr. Rolf didn’t do anything to him and that you can’t make someone hate someone. Stefan can’t wrap his head around why he ever loved Gabi. Johnny is sure he’s not the only one that finds that weird. Stefan confirms plenty of people have chimed in and it’s getting old. Johnny says that everyone is saying one thing while Stefan is saying the opposite. Stefan doesn’t get why people are surprised since he and Gabi started out hating each other, so maybe he just convinced himself there was more to it than there was. Johnny brings up Dr. Rolf again but Stefan insists this has nothing to do with Dr. Rolf. Stefan questions what Dr. Rolf would have to gain by making him hate Gabi. Johnny calls that an interesting question but notes that it wouldn’t be the first time a DiMera has hired Dr. Rolf to do something that can’t be done. Stefan points out that Stefano is dead. Johnny argues that EJ inherited Stefano’s playbook. Johnny goes over how if Stefan was with Gabi, she’d have an iron grip on DiMera but if he sides with EJ then she doesn’t stand a chance.

Gabi reminds EJ that he doesn’t have the votes and they are at a tie which means she remains in place. EJ asks Gabi if she’s happened to notice that Ava hasn’t shown up for work. EJ says that Ava and Jake’s marriage was a fraud. Gabi disagrees, saying they loved each other. EJ calls that irrelevant because the marriage was a legal fraud, the kind that puts people behind bars.

Stephanie and Chad meet Paulina in her office. Paulina questions what Chad is doing there. Stephanie says her voicemail sounded serious so she thought she’d want the whole team on whatever this is. Paulina confirms it’s serious and sensitive. Chad reminds Paulina that she recommended Stephanie hire him and he thought that was because she trusted him. Chad agrees that they should’ve called and offers to wait outside. Stephanie suggests Chad sign a non-disclosure agreement because she could use his help. Paulina apologizes for not being at her best this morning and says that she does trust Chad as she needs to trust someone. Stephanie asks Paulina to tell them what the problem is. Paulina says not until Chad signs.

Li tells Wendy this is not a great time and asks if it can wait. Wendy points out that it only took her 10 hours to get there so she can wait a little longer for what’s coming to her. Li complains that she wants things handed to her on a silver platter. Wendy argues that their dad promised she’d be out of the grunt I.T. job in Fairbanks. Li argues that he promoted her but Wendy complains about it being in Fairbanks. Li says that their dad is the one who wants her there while Wendy argues that Li is the one who could do something about it and get their dad to listen. Li reminds her that this isn’t a good time. Wendy asks if she’s driving him crazy and declares that she’s going to keep doing so until he gets her the dream job in Salem, the center of all things DiMera. Li argues that it isn’t that simple while Wendy points out that he’s engaged to the CEO. Wendy then asks if he screwed that up too.

Gabi tells EJ that Ava has a valid marriage license, signed, sealed, and delivered. EJ tells her to keep digging that hole for herself. EJ informs Gabi that knowingly filing a forged marriage license is fraud which means that every subsequent business transaction predicated on that license would be fraudulent. EJ adds that if Ava knew that Jake’s signature was forged, her taking a seat on the DiMera Board as Mrs. Jake DiMera would be a fraud as would voting his shares and if anyone else knew the license was fraudulent, that person would be a partner in that fraud and equally culpable. EJ declares that all of that would be criminal which means that every business meeting, corporate filing, and pay check cashed since August 13 would be fraudulent and that would all be public record of criminal activity. EJ jokes that it was fun to say all that. Gabi responds that it will be fun to watch him get thrown out. EJ says she can go ahead and make that call but informs her that he has the marriage license and the forensics reports that say Jake’s signature had been forged. EJ reveals that Ava caved and sold Gabi down the river and then said it was all Gabi’s idea. Gabi mocks Ava accusing her and says she would pin something she did on someone else. EJ says the trial would be interesting but his first priority is getting Gabi the hell out of his office. EJ tells Gabi that now that Ava is no longer entitled to Jake’s shares, they default to his closest relative which is Vivian Alamain. Gabi argues that Vivian can’t vote because she’s incarcerated. EJ confirms that means Vivian has a right to assign a proxy for her vote and he has someone at the prison getting that signed, sealed, and delivered. EJ asks Gabi if she can guess which of her ex-lovers will get the nod. EJ adds that the change of ownership of Jake’s shares is being prepared. EJ tells Gabi that she’s out of moves and this is checkmate. EJ asks if she has any idea how much Stefan is going to enjoy being the deciding factor that gives her the boot. EJ then tells Gabi to have a great day as he exits the office.

Li tells Wendy that he and Gabi are fine and questions what she is talking about. Wendy responds that the walls here are thin and reveals that before he answered the door, she heard him on the phone having a meltdown about Stefan DiMera, Gabi’s not so late husband. Li argues that Stefan is totally uninterested in Gabi. Wendy asks why he was panicking then. Li shouts back that he wasn’t panicking so she asks if she hit a nerve as Li then gets a phone call from Gabi, who says she needs him. Li asks what’s wrong. Gabi says she can’t tell him over the phone and she just needs him to get there. Li says he’s on his way and hangs up. Wendy tells Li that she will come with him and they can talk about the job in the car. Li argues that he kept his promise and he’s sorry that she’s not satisfied, but she never is. Li then storms out. Wendy wonders why he’s so freaked out about Stefan DiMera. Wendy opens up Li’s laptop and decides to see what she can do.

Stefan questions Johnny thinking that EJ paid Dr. Rolf to brainwash him about Gabi. Stefan tells him that there’s a hole in his scenario because EJ would have had to have been working with Dr. Rolf long before he was alive, but EJ didn’t know he was alive until Gabi told him. Johnny argues that EJ is the most accomplished liar on two continents and Stefan bought it. Stefan doesn’t know what went on between Johnny and Ava but it sounds like he’s having a hard time accepting what she did, so now he’s taking whatever he can find to see what sticks. Stefan adds that if he loved Gabi, he would know.

Alex comes out of the shower. Chanel asks if he’s still in a mad rush to get out of here since he got out of the bed like it was on fire. Alex admits it was a bit awkward. Chanel thinks Alex seemed a bit overwhelmed as if he was under the grip of a powerful emotion. Allie adds that Alex seems in a rush to get out of here. Alex apologizes if that’s the way it seemed and assures them that he had an amazing time and they are both awesome. Chanel says they know why he feels like he needs to get out. Chanel reminds Alex that what happened last night was just about sex, nothing more, and a one time thing. Alex questions where this is coming from. Allie explains that Chanel thinks there might be something more. Alex assures that he’s in to them both but that’s not something any of them need to worry about. Alex then decides it’s time to come clean and explains that he didn’t try to rush out because he couldn’t deal with some feelings, but because he had a dream. Alex then reveals that the dream wasn’t about them, but about Chad DiMera which surprises and confuses them.

Chad signs the non-disclosure agreement for Paulina. Stephanie then asks Paulina what they are dealing with. Paulina calls it something that can undo her entire campaign, but that’s not what has her upset which is why she had to have Chad sign the NDA. Paulina reveals it’s about her daughter, Chanel. Stephanie questions what Chanel has to do with her campaign. Paulina explains that last night, she got a visit from the lawyer, Sloan Peterson. Chad recognizes that she represented Leo Stark when he was accused of murdering Abigail, so there’s nothing she wouldn’t stoop to. Paulina informs them that Sloan has another client and delivered an ultimatum from whoever it is as they know something about Chanel. Stephanie asks what it is, so Paulina hands her the file folder.

Alex explains to Allie and Chanel that the dream was actually about Stephanie and her being with Chad. Chanel jokingly asks if he dreamed about having a threesome with them. Alex clarifies that he dreamed that Chad had the capability of taking Stephanie away from him. Chanel points out that he doesn’t have Stephanie while Allie adds that he doesn’t know that Chad has her either. Alex assures this was a dream and why he’s all mixed up. Chanel and Allie joke about him dreaming about Chad while in bed with them. Alex tells them that he had an amazing time with them and he cares about them both a lot. Alex calls them amazing. Chanel doesn’t think anything could change that. Alex says he has to get going, but he doesn’t know which one of them to kiss goodbye first, so they both kiss him on the cheek.

Li goes to the DiMera Office where Gabi complains to him about what happened with EJ. Gabi admits that she doesn’t know of any more moves. Li asks if she’s sure he’s not bluffing. Gabi doesn’t think so since Ava didn’t come in and her phone must be off and EJ says he has the marriage license with proof that it’s forged. Gabi talks about EJ laughing at the idea of Stefan casting the deciding vote against her. Gabi cries that Li is the only one in her corner and the only one she can trust as she hugs him.

Johnny advises Stefan to think about it and tells him that he can’t just believe everything EJ says. EJ then comes home and says he sees they have finally met. Stefan responds that they were just getting to know each other. Johnny says he was telling Stefan to watch his back when EJ is around. EJ understands he’s still angry about Ava but they can talk about that another time since he and Gabi are at an end game right now. EJ tells Johnny that soon, his financial future will be brighter so he could show some gratitude which he questions. EJ knows Johnny is upset about Ava’s duplicity. Johnny argues that he’s upset that EJ treated Ava like dirt. EJ says that in time, he will see he did what was the best for everyone. EJ calls Ava bad news and suggests that Johnny turn the page and find someone more age appropriate. EJ tells Stefan that his mother’s power of attorney is being transferred as they speak, so it should be waiting for them at company headquarters. EJ asks if Stefan would like to give Gabi a peek at her dismal future. Stefan responds that he’d love nothing more. EJ declares that it’s so great that Stefan is not dead anymore as they exit the mansion together.

Stephanie tells Paulina that she can see why she is concerned. Paulina complains that Sloan is just going between her and her blackmailer, going after her daughter. Chad adds that there’s no guarantee they wouldn’t keep asking for more. Paulina worries that they could still go public with this shortly before the election. Paulina questions what they do about this now that they know the situation.

Allie tells Chanel that they are good with Alex and asks if they are good. Chanel asks why she asked that. Allie points out that they just did something really crazy and it was basically her idea, so she’s asking if she asked too much. Chanel still can’t believe they did that. Chanel brings up Allie saying she thought it might make them closer and she thinks it worked. Chanel calls last night really hot but says just the two of them is hotter. Allie agrees as they kiss while Chanel’s phone rings nearby with a call from Paulina.

Alex returns home to the Kiriakis Mansion and sits down with his tablet, where he sees an article about Chad joining Stephanie’s PR firm.

Wendy hacks in to Li’s personal laptop but finds nothing of interest. She declares that she needs to find out why he’s so freaked out about Stefan DiMera. Wendy decides to get that information straight from the horse’s mouth.

Li tells Gabi that they need to slow down and think of a way to get EJ back in his cage. Gabi complains that EJ thinks he’s already won and is so enjoying using Stefan as his hatchet man. EJ then arrives with Stefan and tells Gabi that he brought her a surprise.

Chad goes back home with Stephanie. Chad talks about meeting with Sloan. Chad suggests letting him take care of this while she goes to visit her mother. Alex then shows up at the door. Stephanie questions what he’s doing there. Alex responds that he’s here to tell her that she is the biggest hypocrite he’s ever met.

Chanel goes to see Paulina and says she got her message and she sounded terrible, so she asks if everything is okay.

Johnny complains that EJ is full of himself and comments on EJ telling him to find someone more age appropriate. Johnny then goes to leave the mansion right as Wendy Shin arrives.

Li warns EJ to watch it. EJ says he told Gabi that he would come back with ammunition .EJ presents Vivian’s power of attorney that will grant her proxy shares to Stefan. EJ advises Gabi not to wait for the vote to start looking for another job. EJ jokes that Stefan could give her a recommendation since he knows her better than anyone else. Stefan remarks that he wishes he didn’t and wishes he never laid eyes on her. Gabi questions why he’s being so mean to her. Gabi argues that they were in love so there must be some part of him that remembers that. Gabi asks Stefan to look in to her eyes, insisting there must be something in there. Stefan then has a flashback to admitting his feelings for Gabi.

Good morning. Yes it is. I just sleep. Let’s just say I earned my rest. Mm-hmm. Can I just tell you how glad I am that you changed your mind about me? That we no longer just keep it business between us and what can I say? You’re irresistible. Irresistible. I do have to tell you something. I, um, I saw you with Chad last night.

Really? Yeah. And I don’t know, I just thought that maybe somehow. You are into him. He says, I’m not.

That was some night, huh?

Yeah, I go to 9 1 1 Message from Pauline Price. I’m heading over to her office right now. Tell mom I’ll be there by 10. I will tell her I love her.

My.

At least I don’t look too hungover.

Dammit, Ro, why are you not returning my calls? Gabby has the mayor of security looking for you. She’s already suspicious that you did something to Stephanie to make him hate her. You better be in your lab when I get there. Not about to lose her to that bastar.

Okay, Dad, I’ve been thinking about this and first of all, uncle Step

Johnny, your dad told me you moved in last night. We’ll see how long it lasts. Uh, I was glad to hear the sheriff not dead, you know? Huh? Me too. So, so my dad around, I really need to talk to him. No, I’m sorry. You missed him left about 20 minutes ago. Okay. What? What do you think? You don’t know what? Okay, look, let me put it to you this way.

If you don’t find roll by noon, I’m gonna find a new head of security. Okay?

Good morning, sunshine

like sands through the hour glass. So are the days of our lives.

Sleeping in our bed. Ah, I wonder if he thinks it’s just right. Well, good morning. You two are cold. Yeah, well it was quiet a night, right? And we didn’t get much sleep. Oh. You know, Part of me feels like I’m still dreaming. What’d you dream about Teresa? And lucky for me, my dream came true.

So your dad told me what Ava Vitality. . She made a mistake and he’s making a federal case out of it. Come on. Yeah. She faked a marriage so she could steal her dead boyfriend’s stock shares. I wonder. He is furious . He’s not furious. He’s delighted. He found a way to get his myths on even more money that he doesn’t need.

He doesn’t give a rats ass about right or wrong. He would’ve done exactly what a. In a heartbeat. He’s not trying to get his myths on more money. What he’s trying to do is get back something that was stolen from this family. This isn’t about money. This is about making sure that scheming swine, Gabby Hernandez gets kicked to the curb.

What? But you think Gabby Hernandez is a scheming. She’s your wife. Not for long, thank God. But everybody, the two of you, everybody said how happy you were together. How crazy you were about her. Well, I’m not crazy about her now. And you know what? She’s about to get exactly what’s coming to her. Okay. That’s intense.

What exactly did Dr. Roth do to you? Anyway?

All right. Get out of here. Okay. Unlike you, I have work to do. I’m just trying it on for size, squeeze a little needs to be replaced, like a lot of things around here. Okay. I’m calling security. You have no right to. Well, one of us doesn’t, and we both know who that is, don’t we?

Okay, so showing up on my doorstep without giving a heads up. What’s it about this time? Oh, it’s about a promise that was made to me about my dream job. So where is it?

I’m sorry. I should have called before I just coming over here. No, it’s okay. You just surprised me. That’s all. I’m sorry. I just, I wanted to, um, come over before work to, to. Sure. Come on in.

And, and by, by talk. I, uh, actually, I mean, I’d like to apologize for last night. There’s no need. We both had a lot to drink and I’m paying the price for that this morning. Yeah, me too. Um, but I, I, I wanted to talk about No, no, Chad, I know what you were talking about. Look, last. Reality, which I hate had beaten us both up real good.

We were trying to blot it out. So that second bottle of champagne, that was a mistake. Coming here for a nightcap. That was the second one. And then before we did something really stupid, you did the thinking for both of us, and I thank you for that yesterday. I really enjoyed working with you, and I really enjoyed talking to you and.

I really don’t wanna screw that up. Let’s agree that we simply can’t remember a thing that happened since we left Julie’s place. Very good. Uh, spin. You should do pr, , speaking of which, I was just on my way out. I got a message from Paulina last night. She didn’t go into details, but judging from the sound of her voice, it sounds like an asteroid is about to hit.

Salem Pauling of the dramatic, Hard to imagine. You want me to come with you? Yes. I think I could use all the help I could get

So tell us by your dream. Sounds a lot like the one I had. Yeah, me too. You look at the time, I had no idea it was getting that late. Excuse me. Oh God. Hey, would you go’s mind if I use your shower? I promise you I will not use all the hot water. No problem.

You know when he said, Look, at the time he was not wearing a watch, there’s something going on. You’re right. And I know what it is. He’s in love with us. What? What, ? No, No way. Okay. First of all, love is a human emotion, and I don’t think our p Alex has any of those. He didn’t until last night, and that’s what’s freaking him out.

We were so hot that he like totaled, fell in love with that car. Oh my God, Chan. No, what? Wait, we, we were not that hot. And also, you can’t just be hot to have somebody fall in love with you. Like he doesn’t even know us that well. He hasn’t even known us that long to be in love with us. Okay? First of all, we are that hot.

And second of all, he knows us enough. I saw it in his eyes last. And I saw it in his eyes just now, so I know that I’m right that there is love in the air.

Dr. Wolf didn’t do anything. You can’t make a person hate someone, so you hate Gabby. I certainly don’t love her, quite frankly. Can’t begin to wrap my head around why I did if I did.

Surely I’m, I’m not the only one who thinks that’s a pretty weird about face. Oh, no, no, no, no. Plenty of folks have chimed in about it, including Gabby. You know what kid? It’s getting old. Okay, so let me get this straight. Everybody’s saying one thing and you’re saying the opposite. Does, doesn’t that make you wonder why that is?

I don’t understand why everybody’s so surprised. You see, Gabby and I started out hating each other. Okay, so maybe I sat there and I convinced myself that there was more to this relationship than there actually. That sounds like a rationalization to me. You can’t rationalize feelings, but you can’t control them.

You ever seen the man cheer in candidate? Not that that’s one of Ralph’s favorite movies. This has nothing to do with Ralph.

For one thing,

what would Ralph have to gain by making me hate Gabby? Hmm. Hmm. Interesting question.

Wouldn’t be the first time a Damara has hired him to do something that can’t be done.

Mild man’s dead. Mild man inherited his playbook. Look, think about it. Okay? If you and Gabby are still together, she’s got an iron. Damara, but if you side with my dad against her, she doesn’t stand a chance.

Do I need to remind you that you don’t have the votes? We can only sit at a tie, which means I remain in place. Gabby, have you happened to notice that Jake’s widow hasn’t shown up for work this morning? Sorry, sorry, sorry. I. Entirely hasn’t shown up. Jake doesn’t have a widow. That marriage was a fraud.

That not true. They loved each other. That’s totally irrelevant. The marriage is a legal contract, is a fraud. The kind of fraud that puts people behind bars.

Oh, come in.

Good morning, Paulina. What’s he doing here? Hello to you too, Paulina. Your voicemail sounded pretty serious. I thought we’d want the whole team in on. Whatever it is, whatever this is, is serious and sensitive. Okay. Paul, Amy, you. You were the one that recommended Stephanie hire me. I thought that was because you trusted me, but you were right.

We should have called. So if you’d like, I’ll, I will wait outside unless maybe he signs a nondisclosure agreement. If it’s as serious as you say it is, I could use his help. I’m sorry. Sorry. Uh, you know, I’m not, I’m not at my best this morning. I do. I trust you. God knows I need to trust someone. Paulina, can you just tell us what the problem is?

Not until he signs on the dotted line.

This isn’t a great time, can’t it? Wait, sure. Yeah. Uh, from Fairbanks to your doorstep only took me 10 hours. Go to door. Six hours and last row, coach between two biker dudes with boundary issues. So yeah, I’d be more than happy to wait a little longer for what’s coming to me. What’s coming to you? You mean what you want handed to you on a silver platter?

Damningly Dad promised I get taken out of that Grunt it job in Fairbank. I gave you a promotion. You’re in charge of it. In Fair Banks? Yeah. There’s only so much moose a girl can eat. Take it up with dad. He’s the one who wants you there, but you’re the one who can do something. Okay. You have the equipment it takes to get that sexist, patriarchal dinosaur to listen.

I’m just the girl exiled to Fairbanks until I start producing male grandchildren. Look, I told you, this isn’t a good time. Oh, I’m sorry I’m driving. You crazy, aren’t I? In a word? Yes. Guess what? I’m going to keep driving you crazy until you get me my dream. In Salem, the center of all things Damara. It isn’t that simple.

Actually. It is. You’re engaged to the CEO for God’s sake.

If you screwed that up too,

I don’t mean to ring on your delusional parade, but Ava has a valid marriage license, signed, sealed, and delivered . Keep digging that whole for. About six feet deep would do it. You’re whistling in the dark. I’m sharpening my knives. Quick legal lesson. Knowingly filing a forged marriage license is fraud, which means that every subsequent business transaction predicated on that license would be, I think you know where I’m going with this.

Fraudulent to tell so. If the groom signature had been forged, and if Ms. Fatali knew that her taking a seat on the Deir board as Mrs. Jake Deir would be fraudulent, voting his shares would be fraudulent, and if anyone else knew that license was fraudulent. And proceeded to aid in Ms. Tali in her enterprise.

That person would be a partner. And that fraud and equally culpable and all of that would be criminal, which means the minutes of every business meeting since August 31, every corporate filing since August 31, every paycheck cashed and re dividend check cashed , hell, even a $2. Expense account submission would be fraudulent, and all of that would be a public record of criminal activity.

Ooh. It was fun to say all that. Oh, it’s gonna be fun to watch you get thrown out on your ass. Mm. Well go ahead and make that call. You’ll just be kicking the can down the road. Gabby. I have the marriage license and the forensic reports that state that Jake’s signature had been forged, and when I show them both to Ava last night, she caved and then.

Just like that. She sold you down the river and then she said it was all your idea.

Well, now I’m quaking. Ava Fatali is accusing me. Oh, who would question her veracity? Who would ever think she’d try to pin something she did on someone else? Maybe I should call my brother the police commissioner to the stand. He can testify to a sterling character . Well, the trial will be interesting, but that’s not my first priority.

No. Job number one is getting you the hell outta my office. A little earlier you were crowing about folks. Well, now since Ava Ty is no longer, longer entitled to Jake shares, they default to his closest living relative. Vivian ae. Oh, she can’t vote. She’s incarcerated. Good. You know your bylaws, which means you also must know that she has the right to assign a proxy for ho vote even as we speak.

I have an emissary. It states for getting that. Um, how did you put it before sign, sealed and delivered. I want to refu guess which one of your ex. Is going to get the, In the meantime, Ava’s shares now rest with corporate compliance, where the change of ownership is being prepared

rather moves Gabby. It’s check mate, I wonder if you have any idea how much Dhan is going to enjoy being the deciding back that gives you the.

Well, you said you were busy. I wanna keep You have a great day.

Gabby and I are fine. What are you talking about? Oh, for such awan place. Doorsy are pretty thick. Right before I knocked I heard you having a meltdown about Stephan Damara. Isn’t he Gabby’s late husband, or, Uh, It’s not so late anymore. Back from the dead and totally uninterested in Gabby. Oh, then why were you panicking?

I wasn’t panicking, and I didn’t just hit a nerve.

What? Hey, where are you? I need you. What’s wrong? Look, I can’t tell you over the phone. Just get down here. I’ll be right there. I’ve gotta go. Great. I’ll go with you and we can talk in the car about a job. Gene win. I kept my promise. I’m sorry that you’re not satisfied, but then again, you never are.

So why are you so freaked out about Stefan Damara?

Let’s see what the it crowd. Do.

So you think EJ paid Ralph to brainwash me about Gabby. You see there’s a hole in your scenario. EJ would’ve had to have been working with Ralph Long before I was revived, but EJ didn’t know I was. Until Gabby told him.

So the most accomplished liar on two continents acted surprised to see you when you bought it. Okay kid. Look, I don’t know what went on between you and Ava Vitality, but it sounds to me you’re having a hard time accepting, which she did. And so now you’re taking whatever you can find, throwing it against the wall, seeing what sticks.

If I loved Gabby, even if it was buried deep in my subconscious, believe me, I’d know

you still in a mad rush to get outta here. Oh, I’m sorry. Uh, just now you hopped out of the bed like it was on fire.

That was a bit awkward, wasn’t it? Uh, you just seemed a bit overwhelmed as if in the grips of a powerful emotion, and you just seem a little anxious to get outta here. Mm-hmm. . Well, ladies, I am truly sorry if that’s the way it seemed because I can assure you I had an amazing time and you’re both awesome, Alex.

It’s fine. Look, we know why you feel like you have to get out of. I mean, we don’t, Well, I do. Look, Alex, we said this last night, but maybe we should say it again. What happened last night? It was just about sex. It was nothing more than that one time thing. That’s it. And where is this coming from? We were talking and one of us, an emphasis on one of us, Oh.

Thinks that there might be something more. Something more. More as in what? Like, trust me, I’m into you both truly. But that’s not something any of us need to worry about. Told you.

All right. Time to come clean.

I didn’t try to rush outta here because I couldn’t find a way to deal with some feelings. I try to rush outta here because I had a dream, a dream about us. I was covering there a bit.

The dream wasn’t about you guys. I had a dream about Chad Damara.

All right, your, uh, standard nda. Welcome to Look it over. I’m sure it’s fine. And uh, sorry to be so hardnosed to No, no, no. Please don’t apologize. You being hard nose is one of the reasons I decided to vote for you before I signed on with Stephanie. Thank you. So what are we dealing with? Paulina? Something that can undo my entire campaign, but you may not believe this, but that’s not what has me upset.

That’s why I had to ask you to sign that nda. See, it’s about my daughter Chanel.

I’m sorry. I’m not sure I understand. What does Chanel have to do with your campaign? So, um, last night I had a visit from a lawyer named Sloan Peter. She makes EJ look like Atticus Finch. She represented Leo when he was accused to killing my wife. There is nothing she wouldn’t s do to that would be her.

Well, she has another client. She won’t tell me who it is, but she delivered an ultimatum from him, her, but whoever it is, they know something about Chanel like what?

This.

So the dream was actually about Stephanie? Yeah. Last night I had a dream that she was with Chad Damara. So you dreamt that you had a freeway with them? No. No, not at all. I had a dream that this guy had the capability of taking her away from me. But you don’t have her. Yeah. And you don’t know that Chad has her either, Unless of course it’s not that you’re jealous of him being with her, but of her being with him.

No, no, no, no, no. This was a dream. This was a dream. It was. Mixed up. I’m all mixed up. Yeah, it sure sounds like it. Dreaming about Chad when you’re in bed with us. . Yeah. No wonder you were overwhelmed, . Kidding. Uh mm-hmm. . Anyways, moving forward, I had an amazing time with you guys. I’m sorry if it seemed a little weird right there, but I care about you both a lot and an awesome time hanging out.

You’re amazing. Well, I don’t think anything can change that. Good. I do need to get going, but,

But what, for what? I don’t know which one of you guys to kiss goodbye first. Okay. Well let us handle that.

I,

He said, Check me. Check me. Okay. I, I don’t wanna believe it, but I don’t see any moves left. Are you sure he is not bluffing? I don’t think so. I mean, Ava didn’t come in her phone must be for something because I tried to leave her a voicemail and he says he has the marriage license and then proof that it’s for, and.

And what, No, he was laughing. He was laughing about the idea of, of Stephan casting, the deciding vote against me. Just, you know, you’re the only one in my corner. You’re the only one I could trust.

Uncle Stephan, you at least need to think about it. And trust me, you can’t just believe everything my dad says. Well, I see the two of you have finally met. Yeah, we were. Getting to know each other. I was telling him he should watch his back when you’re around, especially if there are any knives in the room.

You’re still angry about Ava, but we’ll have to talk about that later. Gabby and I are now in endgame. Good. Hmm. And as a result, very soon, your financial future is going to be considerably brighter, so perhaps a little gratitude, maybe an order Gratitude. Sadly, I expected that reaction. Look, I know you’re upset about Ava’s, um, duplicity.

I, I am upset that she treated her like dirt dad. But in time, you’ll see I did what was best for all, including you, but mostly you, Johnny, that Batali woman was bad news from the very beginning. Turn the page and next time, perhaps find someone more age appropriate. Ste, your mother’s power of attorney is being transferred as we speak.

If you leave now, it should be waiting for us, a company headquarters. What do you say? Do you feel like giving Gabby Hernandez is a peak of her dismal future? I’d love nothing more.

It’s just so great that you are not dead anymore. Me thinking the same thing.

Well, I can see why you’re concerned and why I had to ask for confidentiality. This Sloan person is just a go between for me and my black mailer piece of dirt going after my kid and I pay it. I would, even if you did, there’s no guarantee they wouldn’t keep asking for more and still release. What, two, three days before election?

Your basic November surprise. So now that we’ve established how this situation is, so God awful, what do we do about it? So we are all good with Alex at Are we good? Less? Uh, why do you ask that? No, we just did something like really crazy. Yeah. and. I don’t know. It was, it was basically my idea. So I guess what I’m asking is did I ask too much?

Uh, I still can’t believe we did that. Well, that doesn’t answer my question. Well, you said last night that you thought that it might make us closer. I think it worked. I think so too. And you know, last night was really hot, but you know what’s hotter? Just the two of us. Sometimes three is a crowd.

And I’m in

gun. I wonder you such a crap password. This is all personal junk. Leave it to lead. I used two separate laptops. Well, this one’s good for us. Just a bunch of pictures of him and Gabby. Don’t superhero cosplay.

What I need to figure out is why you so freaked out about Stephan Amira. I think I need to get that information straight from the horse’s mouth.

Okay. What we need to do is slow down and think we need to find a way to get EJ back in this cage. I keep telling you, he’s absolutely sure he’s. And he’s so enjoying using Stephan as his hatchet man. Look, Gabby, I brought you a surprise.

All right. Sloan’s gonna get back to me at one time to meet. Okay? In the meantime, you and I can start grasping at straws being such. Why don’t you let me take this one, Jen. This is not a minor issue. No, no, no, no, no. Just temporarily. I, I, You should go see your mother. I’ll get all the preliminaries in place.

I won’t make any decisions. You think that’s Sloan? I wouldn’t surprise me. She tries to take us by surprise. Keeps off balance. Well, screw her. She’s gonna find out who she’s dealing.

What are you doing here? I’m here to tell you that you are the biggest hypocrite I have ever met.

Mama I, I got your message. You sounded terrible. Is everything okay?

God, he’s full of himself. This is for the best. Which means it’s the best for him because he is the only person in the universe,

and then slipping into kindly father mode. Find yourself someone more age appropriate.

Oh. So this is what fear smells like. Just wash it. . I told you I would come back with ammunition. I just met the man I sent to see Vivian in the lobby as we arrived. This is her power of attorney and once I handed over to the fine folks at corporate compliance, her proxy shares that defaulted to her. Upon Jake’s death will be granted to staffer.

My advice. Don’t wait for the vote to start looking for another job. I hear buddies, burger bonds hiring. Oh, maybe you could give her a reference. You know her better than any of us. Wish I didn’t . Wish I never laid eyes on. Why? Why? I don’t understand. Why are you being so mean to me? I mean, do we, Were in love.

We, we loved each other. We did you, There must be some part of you that still remembers that. No. Okay. Just look. Look at my, please. Look in my eyes. Okay. Just look at me. Because right after we, we look at each other, we. There must be something in there. Where is it? Where is it gone? Where is it?

I should have admitted it before now, but my pride, my ego wouldn’t even do it to do it. But I’m done with all that now. Now, if we never get outta here, I here anything unfinished. That’s why I’m laying it all out on the line. Line. I care for you. You get me Hernandez, and I’m done pretending. Pretending I don’t.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You’re here about a scandal involving my daughter. That’s right. As a courtesy. Okay. . Look, Ms. Peterson. You and I both know you’re not here out of any kind of courtesy. You’re trying to stir up trouble. Well, that’s not going to work because it’s a matter of public record that Mylan killed Ray Coates. And not only do I not come back away from that, I am committed to exposing and dealing with the pandemic of domestic abuse in this country.

You can spare me the campaign rhetoric. It’s not rhetoric, and don’t try to twist my words. I don’t and never will condone vigilante justice. Yes, Christ. Look, Lonnie, she was wrong, but she owned up to it and now she’s serving time. Justice was served and that’s not our scandal. It’s, it’s a tragedy. Yeah.

Well, that’s all well and good, but I wasn’t talking about Bonnie. I’m talking about your other daughter, Chanel.

I think we should have that threesome with Alex c I hope we’re not keeping you from anything important. No, no. I was just having a cheeseburger with my brother just Will told me that Sunny is out of the hospital. Yep. He got discharged a couple hours ago. Great. So he’s He’s all good. Yeah, he’s good. He’s great.

Yeah. Well, now that we’ve established that, it’s great. That Sunny’s great. You wanna tell me why you guys called me over here? Yes. Yes. We would love to tell you why we called you over here, Chanel. How? How would you put it? Hmm. I thought you put it beautifully when you came up with the idea in the first place.

Right? Well, Right. All right. I again, um, am mind telling me what the idea is or No? Of course. Um, Chanel and I, we were wondering if maybe, um, if you were still up for it,

And I would like to take you up on your offer,

Chad. Yes, Stephanie. I have to, I have to ask you something serious. Okay. You can proceed. Um, I know you said you were trying to move on from Abigail the ass, but is this the kissing just now? Is that too soon? I think we should get outta here. We could have a nightcap at my place. That sounds perfect. The only thing is I don’t think I can drive

We either, I think I’m over. I, I,

I think this calls for a ride. I couldn’t agree with you more.

You were never married to Jake, were you? This marriage certificate is a total fraud and And we have your word for that, right? Oh, a hell of a lot more than my word. As I told you, I had a team of handwriting experts go over this document and they all conclude that Ms. Fatty signature was. But Jake’s has been forged.

You inherited that guy’s contact list. You, You could have hired a team of experts to conclude that the earth is flat. Hmm. I could, but I didn’t. Monia Renee Droy of the Cty is prepared to testify. Oh, and how’d you get him to sign on? You got his grandkids locked away in a Dara dungeon, Some. You need to be very careful.

You know, I should have known, I should have seen this coming. It’s always a warning sign when you started acting like an actual human being. You did all these supposedly nice things for just to what? Pulled a rug out from under her over some stupid signature. Oh, I assure you, Johnny, my boy, It’s over a hell of a lot more than that.

Like through the hour class. So are

all right. All right. So what’s the rest of it? You see you have more than a signature? Sadly, yes. My team of detectives were finally able to track down the person at City Hall who entered Jake and Ava’s marriage license into their system. And it was long after Jake was already dead. Ava already explained all that.

Oh, you mean the inordinately? Long time it supposedly took to process. You see, the funny thing is, All the documentation for the marriage was generated after Jake was already dead, including the application for the license. So believe me, son Jake was already lying dead in the morgue at the moment. It was so called Blessed Union with Ava.

Is this true? And were, were you married to Jake or not?

No. No, I wasn’t.

Are you sure This is. My dad stays with my mom at the hospital, so we’ve got place all know ourselves. Um, how about that? ICAP Scotch? Yeah. Okay, great. Well then sit down, make yourself at home. Take your shoes off

my offer. What was my offer? You know the thing that we talked about a time before, I mean, we talked about a lot of things before. Yeah. But the thing that you said the three of us could do together, you wanna take the drive to the Wisconsin Dells together? I mean, it’s a little bit after the season, but I heard they had indoor water slides.

Oh, really? Yeah. I did not know that. Well, they have this like climate control system. It’s supposed to feel just like. Right. But you know, I do wonder what that does to the environment. Really. I really, This is the offer that you wanted to talk about that we invited him over for a glass of wine to, to discuss and plan a trip to the Dells.

Well, maybe we should all do a duck tour. Wait, maybe they’re not ecologically sound. Yeah, I don’t think we’re talking about the Dells. It seems to me that if you can’t bring yourself to use the word threesome, then maybe you’re not quite ready for one

good offer.

Jake and I weren’t married. That is not his signature on the certificate. Mm. Think about it, Johnny let it sink in. Your uncle wasn’t even cold before. She’s brun into action. She mourned his passing by, devising away to claim his family inherit. Was it a simple ceremony, a just you, the dead groom and his stock portfolio,

So it was all just a lie? No, no. I loved Jake and he did ask me to marry him a day. As a matter of fact, on the day that he died, he, he said we could have a long engagement that he wasn’t going to pressure me. And I was just, I was insecure about Gabby, you know, I was wondering if he really was over her and he knew that, he knew I was worried about that, which is why he wanted to make the commitment.

He wanted to prove that what we had was real, so, So when I finally said yes, he just ran, He ran over to the jeweler and he got me this beautiful ring. The jeweler went ahead and threw in the wedding bands for free

So when you saw him lying that, that you just slipped it onto his finger? No, it wasn’t like that.

What was it like?

It was Gabby’s idea. And I just did what you told me to.

Okay. Look, if this is about her being bisexual, the days when that was a scandal are, thank God, long over. So I stand with my daughter as I stand with the entire LGBTQ community. So maybe, yeah, perhaps. Little scandal is that she’s now with the twin sister of the man. She’s just divorced. If you would, let me explain Ms.

Price. This has nothing to do with Chanel’s relationship with Allie Horton or her marriage to Johnny Damira. I’m not here because of who your daughter associates with. I’m here because of something she did. I have to say I’m a little taken aback why it was your idea. Hmm. No, I remember. And that it was my idea.

I’m taking it back that you remember too. It’s you plural, right? We are all on the same page here. All three of us talking about the same thing. Yes. Yes. Unless you are no longer interesting. No, no. I never said anything about me not being interested. I just remember saying that maybe we could explore other things together.

But I also remember you telling me that hell would freeze over before you took me up on it. So what made you change your mind?

Cheers. Well, what are we gonna drink to that we haven’t been drinking to all day . Um, how about. To where the night takes us. I like that. It is very to the point. Sucks in sucks ink. That’s what I said. Sucks in tined. . Succinct with a T. It means to the point. I know I’m kind of auc reductive. Red redundant.

Okay, wait, so what was our toast again? I don’t know. I forgot. Um, wait. Coming back to. To where the night takes. Yes. Cheers.

Sorry. Don’t be.

So Gabby put you up to a, Why am I not surprised? I don’t understand.

I was at the hospital. And Kayla had just told me that Jake had just died. And I asked if I could see him, if I could go into his room. And I was in there and I was trying to say goodbye. And that’s when Kathy came in two comfort, bereaved, right. Did you two good Catholic girls say the Rosary watch.

Come on,

Gabby. You told me that your father was coming and that he was, he was gonna get his hands on. Jake shares two vultures circling the caucus. I was in shock and I was grieving. Gabby wasn’t, She was calculating. No, you’re right. She was. She was calculating. She was cold hearted and she was just trying to get his money.

Remind you of anyone. AJ

Touche.

So Debbie, um, she convinced me that now that Jake was dead, that I put nothing. You’d have your memories. Would you just let her talk,

Johnny? I was scared. and I was alone and

shape wanted to marry me. It’s what he wanted. And so his , those rings were still in his pocket and I.

I slipped one on his finger and I slipped the other one on mine, and then Gabby said she’d take care of the rest. And as always, she was as good as her words.

Okay. I’m talking about an incident that happened while she was at college. Perhaps this will refresh your memory.

I think that’s a valid question, Allie. Well, Us inviting you over. It was kind of my idea. And you’re on board with that? Mm-hmm. ? Mm-hmm. , totally. It’s just Chanel and I recently, we’ve been, I don’t know, we’ve just been going through a rough patch and we feel like we’re being bombarded by all of this outside stuff, and it’s leaving us feeling less close, less connected than we wanna be.

And you. , maybe bringing somebody else into the mix might fix things. I think that we thought of it more as an, an adventure, something exciting that we could share. Right. Yeah. Really it’s, it’s not so much about the other person, really. Not at all, but more so about the two of us sharing something together.

not about the other person at all. Noted. And that is flattering. Okay. Not about the other person emotionally. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And look, when you first brought this up, which was what the, like first time we met you, hey, Aw, we just thought that you were in it for a good time. Mm. Yeah. And we, we wouldn’t wanna try it with anyone who might think of it as something more.

Yeah. So that’s why we thought of, Ooh, because I’m so shallow. Well, how would that be? The save of the moment? Oh, that’s better. Thank you. And hey, you’re single, so there’s no one that would get jealous unless there’s something going on between you and Stephanie.

I’m sorry.

Let’s cut on my bracelet. Sorry. Okay. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. I can’t do this.

I’m sorry.

What do you want, Ms. Peterson? It’s not what I want. As I said, I’m here on behalf of my client. This is obviously about what they want, and that is, I’m sure you’ve realized that if the contents in this file were to become public, your campaign would be over and you would’ve absolutely no chance of becoming governor.

So $24,000 question. Who’s your client? That’s not something you need to know. I’m here to act as a facilitator. Perhaps some kind of arrangement could be made. What kind of an arrangement? I believe a financial one would work. So financial arrangement turns out to be a euphemism for black male. Tomato.

Tomato. Tell me Ms. Peterson. What’s that? I like down there at the bottom of the barrel. Me and Stephanie. We know she told you you didn’t have a chance with her. What if that’s changed? No, nothing’s changed, especially after what I just saw. I went by Julie’s place. Mm-hmm. . And I saw the Ice Princess Stephanie pretty much sitting on Chad Dara’s lap.

So since it looks like she and Chad are gonna make a night of it,

if you too want to take me up on my offer, I say hell yeah. To do it.

I’m sorry. Uh, I, I don’t, I wanted to come here and now, uh, now I can’t go through there. No, it’s okay. Uh, no it’s not. I’m. I’m sorry. I hope you, I hope you understand that it has absolutely nothing to do with you. In fact, I really enjoy hanging out with you. I was really great. I just can’t do it. It’s okay.

We, we both are in really bad places right now. You’re missing your wife and I’m worried about my mom and Chad. Spending time with you was great for me too, but I, I don’t wanna just have sex with you to forget that I’m scared outta my mind about my mom. Okay, so then we just filing under a very bad idea.

Agreed.

Well, Gabby certainly did take care of everything, didn’t she? To both your mutual benefits. Look, I can’t defend what I did, but if I was going to have any second thoughts, EJ shut them down. As soon as he showed up at the hospital, he went full ceo. He wasn’t there to say goodbye to his brother. He was there to proclaim that he, EJ Jamara was, was in charge, right?

He he was. He was next of kin. He was head of the family executor of the will. He was in charge. But you were there ahead of me, weren’t you? And even then, you had to know that you couldn’t keep up this scam forever, that the truth would finally catch up with you. And today is that day.

Yeah, you’re right aj. It is time I paid the piper.

I am sorry that I lied.

I don’t care. It doesn’t matter to me. Doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter that she used your uncle’s death to steal what didn’t belong to her. Oh, you shut up. She hasn’t done anything close to the crap you’ve pulled and says, So what? Well, why shouldn’t she get some Jake’s money? The Deras have more money than they know what to do with the damir is due.

Not you, . Oh, well thank you. Thank you father for reminding me.

Look, I could see how upset you were about my uncle Jake. I could see how much you loved him. So, so you let me believe that you married him. You never lied me about anything else. And that in this house is a very rare thing, but as we all know, all good things must come to an end. What are you doing? If you think I’m doing?

I’m calling the cost. I have to know where to start, Why a fraud, identity fraud, corporate fraud. Oh, I will also need to check out if you filed on, uh, Jake’s Life Insurance. Anywhere you look at is if you’ll be going away for a very long. So I’m gonna get the ball rolling on this show. No. Okay. No,

I don’t like being threatened. Ms. Peterson, I’m not threatening you. I’m simply explaining to you your options. You can just check your options and just shove them where the sun don’t shine. If the voters can’t understand that my daughter’s actions don’t reflect on my own, then hey, you know, perhaps I am not the right candidate for the office.

Well, I did enjoy your profiles and courage moment, but this just isn’t about you think what could happen to Chanel and her freedom should this information become public?

To one of the best nights of our lives, Jeff. Cheers. Hm. Whoa,

one of the best nights of our lives. Trust me, I think this is going to be incredible, which means it’s gonna have to be repeated. Mm-hmm. , Oh, you are pretty sure of yourself, aren’t you? I didn’t necessarily mean repeated with me, but once you do this once, you don’t wanna do it again. Oh, so you’ve done this before?

Millions of times. All right. Twice. Twice. But it was amazing both times and I got a feeling this time is going to be even better.

So how do we start?

Is that okay? It was definitely okay.

Dad, don’t do this. Look, Ava went. She made a mistake. She was grieving and she did something stupid. Son do. You can’t get emotional about things like this. Look, I know that you care about now you like to call me son? Yeah, you like to call me son. You like to tell me how much you love me? Well, if you love me as much as you say you do, you will put that phone it.

Five. I won’t send her to prison. Thank you. As long as she leaves Salem immediately and never returns,

you can’t be serious. I’m deadly serious. Your bags are in the foyer. I told Harold not to unpack and knew you wouldn’t be.

This is, this is ridiculous. Like you don’t have the right to just, just send her away. It’s okay, Johnny. I’ll go.

Well, I’ll leave the boat with you to say goodbye and I mean, goodbye. Ava. Not a rivere.

Need to keep this in a spot.

Chanel’s Freedom. That doesn’t exactly look legal, does it? You might wanna take a closer look at. Don’t worry. I’ve made copies of it all, so I’m happy to leave this here with you. Why don’t you take the night to think about it and then get back to me. Okay.

I should call a. Jack’s watching the kids. I should probably make sure my kids haven’t torn the house apart. Good idea,

Chad. I I was just thinking that it’s probably best that we didn’t sleep together on the very first day I hired you. Yeah. Are we okay? Are you kidding? We got all the awkwardness outta the way tonight. There’s nowhere to go but up. Okay.

We’ll see how work tomorrow. See you tomorrow.

Kiss me.

It’s love, love, love.

It’s love, love, love. It’s love, love, love.

Is that all you have to say?

That was hot. Yeah, it was. And I’m dehydrated. I need a drink. You need a drink?

Round two. Oh,

you okay? Oh, I am better than, Okay. How?

I love,

I love.

Tell mom I love her and dad try to get some sleep.

Stephanie Polina Price. Call me as soon as you get this. I need to see you as soon as possible. We’ve got a big problem.

Paper. No. Hey, this is crazy. My dad can’t just drive you out of town. He’s not the sheriff of Salem. No, but he won’t have any problem talking to the police commissioner. It’s not exactly my biggest fan look. Besides there’s, there’s nothing left from me here.

Almost. That’s, Look, I’m so sorry that we’ll never know what could have been. Maybe I should come with you.

It’s sweet of you though. But it’s best that we part ways here.

I love nothing but like memories.

Well, I see the vis sled off to find a new Nest . I bet you’re pretty pleased with yourself, but I will make you pay for this if it’s the last thing I.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Sloan informs Paulina that she has information about a scandal involving her daughter which Paulina questions. Paulina argues that they both know she’s only here to stir up trouble and says it’s not going to work because it’s a matter of public record that Lani killed Ray Coates and she doesn’t back away from that. Paulina adds that she’s committed to exposing domestic abuse while she will never condone vigilante justice. Paulina argues that Lani owned up to it and is now serving her time so justice was served and it’s not a scandal but a tragedy. Sloan then reveals that she wasn’t talking about Lani, but about Paulina’s other daughter, Chanel.

Alex is at Allie and Chanel’s apartment having wine. Allie thinks back to suggesting the threesome to Chanel. Chanel says she hopes they aren’t keeping Alex from anything important. They talk about Sonny being out of the hospital. Alex then asks why they called him over. Allie says they’d love to tell him but then calls on Chanel. Chanel reminds Allie that she came up with the idea in the first place. Alex asks again what the idea is. Allie then informs him that they would like to take Alex up on his offer.

Chad and Stephanie kiss outside of Julie’s Place until Stephanie stops and says she knows he said he was trying to move on from Abigail, but questions if this is too soon. Chad thinks they should get out of here. Stephanie invites him to his place. Chad says that sounds perfect but notes that he drank too much to drive. Stephanie relates to being over the limit so they decide to call a ride as they then continue kissing.

EJ accuses Ava of never being married to Jake and says the marriage certificate is a total fraud. Johnny questions taking EJ’s word for that. EJ reveals they have a hell of a lot more than his word since his handwriting experts all concluded that Ava’s signature was real but Jake’s was forged. Johnny argues that EJ could’ve hired a team to conclude that. EJ notes that he has one prepared to testify which Johnny mocks. EJ warns him to be careful. Johnny says he should’ve known because it’s always a warning sign when EJ starts acting like a human being. Johnny asks if EJ did all this just to pull the rug out from under Ava over a stupid signature. EJ responds that it’s over a hell of a lot more than that. Johnny asks what the rest of it is then. EJ informs him that his team of detectives finally tracked down the person at City Hall who entered the marriage in to the system and it was long after Jake’s passing. Johnny argues that Ava already explained that. EJ says the funny thing is all the documents were generated after Jake was already dead, including the application for the license. EJ assures Johnny that Jake was already dead at the moment of his so called blessed union with Ava. Johnny then turns to Ava and asks if this is true as he questions if she was married to Jake or not. Ava then admits that she was not married to Jake.

Chad and Stephanie go back to Steve and Kayla’s. Chad questions if she’s sure this is okay. Stephanie tells him that Steve is staying with Kayla at the hospital so they have the place all to themselves. Stephanie calls for a nightcap and tells Chad to get comfortable.

Alex asks Allie and Chanel what his offer was again. Allie reminds him what they talked about before that he said the three of them could do together. Alex thinks she’s talking about taking a drive to Wisconsin. Chanel questions Allie going along with that being the idea and mocks it. Alex realizes they aren’t talking about that. Chanel asks if Allie isn’t quite ready for a threesome. Alex then gets excited upon realizing that’s the offer.

Ava confirms that she and Jake were not married and that’s not his signature on the certificate. EJ tells Johnny to think about it and let it sink in that Jake wasn’t even cold before she sprung in to action. EJ adds that Ava mourned Jake’s passing by devising a way to steal his family inheritance. Johnny questions it all being a lie. Ava assures that she loved Jake and he did ask her to marry him on the day that he died. Ava says Jake wanted to prove what they had was real so when she finally said yes, he got her the beautiful ring and the wedding bands. EJ asks if Ava set this up while seeing Jake lying there dead. Johnny asks Ava what it was like then. Ava then reveals that it was Gabi’s idea and she just did what Gabi told her to do.

Paulina asks Sloan if this is about Chanel being bisexual and says the days of that being a scandal are long over. Sloan assures it has nothing to do with Chanel’s relationship with Allie or her marriage to Johnny and she’s not here because of who Chanel associates with, but because of something she did.

Alex admits he’s a little taken aback. Chanel asks why since it was his idea. Alex asks if they are all on the same page. Allie assures unless he’s no longer interested. Alex remembers saying they could explore other things together but they told him that Hell would freeze over before they took him up on it, so he questions what made them change their mind.

Stephanie and Chad have another drink together and toast to where the night takes them. Chad says he’s sorry but Stephanie tells him not to be as they continue kissing.

EJ remarks that he’s not surprised that Gabi put Ava up to it. Johnny doesn’t understand. Ava explains that she was at the hospital and Kayla had just told her that Jake had died, so she went to try and say goodbye which is when Gabi came in. Johnny tells her to go on. Ava says that Gabi told her that EJ was coming to get his hands on Jake’s shares. EJ calls them vultures. Ava argues that she was in shock and grieving while EJ points out that Gabi wasn’t as she was calculating. Ava agrees that Gabi was cold-hearted and just trying to get Jake’s money, remarking that it reminds her of EJ. Ava adds that Gabi convinced her as she was scared and alone. Ava says that Jake wanted to marry her and the rings were in his pocket so she put them on their fingers, then Gabi said she would take care of the rest.

Sloan reveals to Paulina that she’s talking about an incident that happened while Chanel was in college. Sloan presents a folder to refresh her memory.

Chanel asks Allie what changed her mind. Allie admits it was kind of her idea and Chanel confirms that she’s totally on board with it. Allie says they have recently been going through a rough patch and have been bombarded by outside stuff that has left them feeling less close. Alex questions bringing someone else in to the mix being what might fix things. Chanel calls it an adventure or something exciting that they could share. Allie says it’s not about the other person but about them sharing something together. Alex jokes that’s not as flattering. Allie brings up that Alex first brought that up when they first met and she thought he was just wanted a good time. Chanel adds that they wouldn’t want to try it with someone who might want something more. Allie says that’s why they decided on him. Alex questions it being because he’s so shallow. Allie points out that Alex is also single so there’s no one to get jealous. Chanel adds that is unless he has something going on with Stephanie.

Chad and Stephanie kiss and begin to undress until Chad stops and says he’s sorry but he can’t do this.

Paulina asks what Sloan wants. Sloan says it’s not what she wants but about what her client was. Sloan adds that if the contents of this file become public, Paulina’s campaign would be over and she’d have absolutely no chance of becoming Governor. Paulina asks who her client is. Sloan says she doesn’t need to know that and offers to make a financial arrangement. Paulina accuses her of blackmail and questions what it’s like at the bottom of the barrel.

Chanel and Allie ask if anything has changed with Alex and Stephanie. Alex assures that nothing has changed, especially after he just went to Julie’s Place and saw Stephanie practically on Chad’s lap. Alex says it looks like Chad and Stephanie are going to make a night of it, so if they want to take him up on his offer, he says hell yeah to doing it.

Chad apologizes to Stephanie and says he wanted to come but now he can’t go through with it. Stephanie says it’s okay. Chad hopes she understands it has absolutely nothing to do with her as he really enjoyed hanging out with her but he just can’t do it. Stephanie understands they are both in bad places as Chad is missing Abigail and she’s worried about Kayla. Stephanie says being with Chad is great but she also doesn’t want to have sex just to forget being scared about her mom. They agree that it was a very bad idea.

EJ remarks that Gabi sure did take care of everything to her and Ava’s benefit. Ava says she can’t defend what she did but if she was going to have second thoughts, that went away when EJ showed up at the hospital ready to be CEO and proclaim that he was in charge. EJ points out that Ava was there ahead of him but she had to know that she couldn’t keep up this scam forever and that the truth would finally catch up to her. EJ declares that today is that day. Ava agrees that it’s time she pays the piper. Ava apologizes to Johnny for lying to him. Johnny responds that he doesn’t care as it doesn’t matter to him. EJ questions that as Johnny tells him to shut up and argues that Ava hasn’t done anything close to what EJ has pulled. Johnny asks why Ava shouldn’t get some of Jake’s money since the DiMeras have so much. Johnny says he could see how upset Ava was about Jake and how much she loved him. Johnny adds that Ava let him believe that she was married to Jake but never lied about anything else which is a rare thing in this house. EJ remarks that all good things must come to an end. EJ then announces he is calling the cops about Ava’s identity fraud and corporate fraud, so she will be going away for a very long time. Johnny stops EJ and tells him no.

Paulina tells Sloan that she doesn’t like being threatened. Sloan claims she isn’t threatening her and is just explaining her options. Paulina tells her to take her options and shove them where the sun don’t shine. Paulina declares that if the voters can’t understand that her daughter’s actions don’t reflect her then maybe she is not the right candidate for the job. Sloan adds that this isn’t just about her and warns her about what could happen to Chanel and her freedom if this information becomes public.

Alex, Chanel, and Allie drink shots and toast to one of the best nights of their lives. Alex thinks this will be incredible which means it will have to be repeated.

EJ then agrees not to send Ava to prison but only if she leaves Salem immediately and never returns. EJ adds that Ava’s bags are in the foyer because he told Harold not to unpack them since he knew she wouldn’t be staying. Johnny calls this ridiculous and says EJ doesn’t have the right to just send her away. Ava says it’s okay and agrees to go. EJ decides to let them say goodbye as he then exits the room.

Paulina questions Sloan bringing up Chanel’s freedom. Sloan points out that it’s not exactly legal and advises her to take a closer look at the folder and leaves the copy with her. Sloan suggests she take the night to think about it and then get back to her as she then exits.

Chad decides to call another ride since Jack is watching the kids and he should check on them. Stephanie decides it’s probably best that they didn’t sleep together on the day she hired him.

Chad says he’ll see her at work tomorrow then and they shake hands as Chad then exits.

Chanel says she’s better than okay. Allie tells Chanel that she loves her and Chanel says she loves her too.

Chad returns home to the Horton House and sees the photo of Abigail on the mantle.

Stephanie talks to Steve on the phone and says to tell Kayla she loves her and advises him to try to sleep as she hangs up. Stephanie then puts her phone down and misses a call from Paulina.

Paulina leaves a message for Stephanie to call her because she needs to see her as soon as possible since they have a big problem.

Johnny tells Ava that this is crazy and that EJ can’t just drive her out of town. Ava worries that EJ won’t have any problem talking to the police commissioner, who isn’t her biggest fan. Ava states that there’s almost nothing left for her here anyways. Ava is sorry they’ll never find out what could’ve been. Johnny suggests he go with her. Ava says that’s sweet of him but it’s best that they part ways here with nothing but good memories. Ava kisses Johnny on the cheek and then exits the DiMera Mansion with her bags packed. EJ comes downstairs and remarks that Ava has slithered off to find a new nest. Johnny bets he’s pretty pleased but vows to make EJ pay for this if it’s the last thing he does.

Update written by Joseph

Ava joins Johnny at the door of the DiMera Mansion which EJ calls a surprise. Johnny asks why since he invited them both to move back in. Ava asks if EJ is excited to welcome his son and his sister in law back.

Sonny lays on the couch in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion, talking to Will on the phone. Sonny says he just wanted to make sure he made his flight and tells him that as soon as Sarah gives him the green light, he will come visit and they can video chat tonight. Alex walks in and pours himself a drink. Sonny tells Will that he misses him already and he loves him as he hangs up. Alex asks about Will heading back to LA. Sonny sarcastically tells him that he’s off to Minnesota instead. Alex jokes about him making fun of him and says that means Sonny is on the fast track to recovery and that their truce is over.

Chad and Stephanie continue working outside of Julie’s Place. Stephanie asks how Chad is liking his first day on the job. Chad jokes that watching her work is exhausting. Stephanie puts over everything they accomplished and says she couldn’t have done it without his help as they shake hands.

Chanel questions if Allie really just said she thinks they should have a threesome with Alex Kiriakis. Allie confirms that she did. Chanel asks where this is coming from and how long she’s been thinking about this. Allie says it’s just been a while. Chanel says she had to know she would have questions about her springing this on her. Allie doesn’t think she’s springing it on her since they talked about it. Chanel said it was a joke because Alex wouldn’t stop trying to get in their drawers but Allie asks if it would really be so bad if he did.

Sonny apologizes to Alex for snapping and talks about almost dying, losing everything he cares about, and then Will has to leave so quickly. Sonny admits the separation makes it harder even though it’s temporary. Alex says he’s sorry. Alex tells Sonny that he and Will are lucky to have each other and are obviously really good at relationships which is why he hoped maybe Sonny could give him some advice about his love life.

Stephanie thinks DiMera Enterprises will rue the day they forced Chad out since their loss is her gain. Chad calls her a great teacher. Stephanie praises him as having great ideas. Stephanie knows they agreed he’d only work through the election but she might try to change his mind. Stephanie suggests they celebrate his first day with a bottle of champagne on the company. Chad agrees and jokes if that’s a perk then he might be in.

EJ tells Johnny and Ava that he’s delighted to have them both back where they belong and he’s only surprised because he didn’t hear from either of them about the offer. EJ says he’s glad they accepted and invites them in. EJ suggests they go have a drink while Harold gets the room ready. Ava clarifies that they will need two rooms because she and Johnny won’t be sharing.

Abe joins Paulina in her office which is filled with Vote for Paulina posters. Paulina says she thinks that lighting a fire under Stephanie worked after her progress report. Paulina hopes that Stephanie will take her advice about bringing Chad DiMera on board.

Chad and Stephanie finish their first bottle of champagne. Chad says he’ll have to get another bottle and asks what his official job title is. Stephanie admits they haven’t figured that out. Stephanie gets a text from Tripp and tells Chad that Tripp and Joey are texting every hour asking about Kayla. Stephanie wishes Kayla would let her tell them how sick she is. Chad guesses she figures it would be too hard on them, being too far away. Stephanie remarks that it’s no picnic being close by either. Chad says he’s sorry.

Alex tells Sonny that after Victor had he and Stephanie start working together, he thought they might be getting somewhere but then nothing ever happened and as soon as the meetings are done, she’s gone. Sonny argues that Alex is obsessed with Stephanie which is a turn off for her and not healthy for him. Alex complains that he doesn’t need a shrink, he needs him to help get through to her. Sonny advises Alex to stop trying and get over his obsession. Sonny tells Alex to accept that Stephanie is not interested in him, dislikes him, and wants him to leave her alone. Alex argues that he has to fix this and do something because he was a jerk to her at the hospital. Sonny asks what the big deal is since she already thought he was a jerk anyway. Alex says he didn’t know Stephanie’s mom was sick and he was on his high horse, so now he has to make up for it.

Chanel sits with Allie and questions her suddenly being fine with a threesome and asks if this has anything to do with Johnny. Allie says no and questions what her brother has to do with this. Chanel says they have been fighting about him and then she mentioned running in to him and now all of a sudden, she mentions a threesome. Chanel asks if Allie is still worried about her past with Johnny and if she thinks a threesome will solve that.

EJ acknowledges having a bad reaction when he found out about Ava and Johnny’s relationship but he got used to the idea, so he questions the pretense of separate rooms. Johnny says it’s not a pretense. EJ says it’s alright as the family has a history of unusual couples. EJ goes over how Gabi has worked herself through most of the men in the family other than himself and Tony, Kate was married to both Stefano and Andre, and Andre once married Kristen while pretending to be Tony. Johnny takes it as him making fun of them but EJ says he’s not and that their incestuous relationship is par for the course. Johnny then informs EJ that he and Ava are not sleeping together. EJ asks if that’s right. Ava confirms that they are friends and that’s it.

Alex asks Sonny what if he sends Stephanie flowers. Sonny tells him that it wouldn’t work, reminding him that Stephanie doesn’t date men that she works with. Alex insists it’s more saying I’m sorry than saying he wants to sleep with her. Alex decides flowers are out then and then says he’s got it. Alex declares that Stephanie’s issue is not wanting to date someone she works with. Sonny points out that she hated him before they started working together and she’s not in to him. Alex insists that he has the perfect solution. Alex repeats that Stephanie doesn’t want to date him because they work together, so he will fire her.

Stephanie apologizes to Chad for stopping their celebration. Chad understands she’s worried about her mom around the clock, so she shouldn’t be sorry for taking time for her own life. Stephanie worries about Kayla not getting better. Chad encourages that so many people at the hospital will be fighting for her and will pull her through this. Stephanie wishes she had his faith. Stephanie recalls when she was a little girl and she was told her dad was dead and believed it for years. Chad guesses it must have felt like a miracle when he came home. Stephanie confirms it did but all those years before that, her mom was her rock and her world was okay because she had her. Stephanie cries that she just can’t lose her.

Paulina makes Abe a drink. Abe says he could definitely use it as he’s had better days. Abe informs Paulina that he spoke to John this morning and Marlena is seriously sick, so John is really worried about her. Paulina recalls Chad telling her that Kayla is so sick, so she asks if there’s a bad bug going around. Abe wishes it was that simple but John said Marlena, Kayla, and Kate can all blame Orpheus for what ails them.

EJ doesn’t understand. Ava repeats that she and Johnny are friends and that’s it. EJ questions finding them in bed together. Johnny insists that nothing happened. EJ thought that was only because he interrupted them. Ava tells EJ that sometimes things happen that don’t revolve around him and reveals she’s the one who put the brakes on it. Ava reminds EJ that she recently lost her husband, so she’s not ready to move on with anyone just yet. Ava tells EJ to forget about adding her and Johnny to the twisted DiMera family history.

Allie questions Chanel really thinking she would suggest they hook up with Alex because she’s still scared of her being interested in Johnny. Chanel says that isn’t what she said but she’s really confused. Allie just thought this was something they could try together. Allie talks about Chanel being very open about being sexually fluid while she is bi. Allie states that they are both attracted to men. Chanel questions if Allie is saying that she misses having sex with men. Allie assures that she doesn’t and it’s not about missing anything. Allie just thinks it could be fun. Chanel says she’s learned with her that she can be happy in a loving relationship and she thought Allie was too. Allie says she is. Chanel asks if she’s sure. Allie says she is sure and she doesn’t want to cheapen what they have, she just thinks this is something they could share as a couple. Chanel questions bringing a guy like Alex in to their relationship. Allie says not in to their relationship, just in to their bed. Allie clarifies that this is just about sex with no feelings which is why Alex would be perfect because there is no way either of them would ever fall for him.

Sonny tells Alex that he can’t terminate Stephanie’s contract just because he wants to date her. Alex asks why not. Sonny complains that it’s textbook sexual harassment and calls him a dumbass. Sonny knows this is new to him to have someone not be attracted to him. Alex responds that it happened before in third grade and still hurts. Sonny says he gives up as this is pointless. Sonny suggests they treat this like a growing experience and accept the fact that a hard no does not mean maybe. Alex says he does hear where he’s coming from and maybe he’s right that firing Stephanie would be wrong on many levels, so he will quit. Sonny tells him that another CEO change would make Titan look as unstable as DiMera while Victor is very happy with the job he’s doing so he can’t quit. Alex asks what about his feelings for Stephanie then. Sonny grabs him and questions what part of this he did not hear. Sonny orders Alex to get over this obsession and back off. Alex says he gets that he needs to find a way to get it under control. Sonny encourages that he will as he’s just feeling rejected right now. Sonny notes that he’s feeling lonely and suggests they soothe their aching hearts by getting something to eat. Alex decides he will go get them chili dogs from Julie’s Place and exits the mansion.

EJ admits it was wrong of him to jump to the conclusion that Ava and Johnny were having an affair. Johnny agrees but he can’t believe EJ is apologizing. EJ adds that he mistook Johnny’s kindness to Ava. Ava calls that what EJ does, being nice to a grieving woman to get what he wants. EJ admits he also misunderstood Johnny’s intentions when he said he would move out if he forced Ava out when he should’ve known Johnny would never take advantage of a woman in Ava’s situation. Ava asks what he means. EJ says they both know how much Ava treasured her marriage to Jake.

Paulina asks Abe if trying to blow up Marlena, Kate, and Kayla wasn’t enough for Orpheus that he made them sick. Abe confirms that he infected them with a toxin. Abe talks about how Orpheus seems determined to kill the partners of his three greatest enemies. Paulina says they must be losing their minds. Abe knows he would be if she was sick. Paulina wants to go to the hospital to check on them. Abe says that the hospital is only allowing close family to visit while Kate checked herself out. Paulina jokes about Roman having to live with a woman so stubborn. Abe suggests they go see if they can do anything for them, but Sloan Peterson enters the office. Abe asks what she wants. Sloan responds that she’s here to see Paulina.

Chad tells Stephanie that he does have some idea what she’s going through. Chad talks about Kate always being there for him since his mom died and how she’s closer to him than EJ or Tony, so he’s scared for her now. Stephanie knows he’s still grieving Abigail too. Chad tells Stephanie that this job came around at just the righ time. Stephanie says it did for her too. She puts her hand on Chad’s right as Alex arrives and sees them together. Stephanie asks Chad how he’s been coping. Chad says he told himself that he’d feel better when they caught the killer, like it would bring closure, but it didn’t work out that way. Chad says that gave him a job and purpose but now he just feels lost until Stephanie threw him a lifeline, so he thanks her.

EJ tells Johnny and Ava that he will go down to the wine cellar and get a special bottle for this occasion. Ava jokes with him not to get locked in the secret room she’s heard about. EJ tells her not to believe everything she hears and heads down to the cellar. Ava asks Johnny if he’s buying the friendliness from EJ. Johnny responds that he knows EJ doesn’t do anything unless there’s something in it for him. Ava says that’s what she’s worried about but Johnny assures that he has her back.

Chanel tells Allie that she’s still a little thrown by this whole thing. Allie thinks she’s worrying too much. Chanel worries that Allie isn’t giving this much thought. Allie calls it just sex. Allie then admits that the thought of Chanel and Johnny still bothers her, but Johnny is not the reason that she thinks they should be with Alex. Allie recalls how much she enjoyed being with Tripp. Allie says she and Chanel have always been in to each other but also had amazing chemistry with the men in their lives, so she didn’t want them to miss that while ruining what they have. Chanel questions her thinking Alex is the one to do it with. Allie says it might be fun to figure out.

Paulina questions Sloan and Abe knowing each other. Abe responds that Sloan is thriving as a defense attorney but calls her an ambulance chaser and asks what she wants with his wife. Sloan brings up Paulina running for Governor and says she wants to speak to her privately. Paulina tells Abe to go ahead to the Pub without her and she will handle this. Paulina sends her love to Roman and Kate. Abe warns Sloan to be careful because Paulina has friends in high places. Abe then exits. Paulina asks Sloan what this is about. Sloan says she’ll get right to the point. Sloan reveals that she represents a client who is in possession of certain information that could end Paulina’s political career before it begins.

Stephanie tells Chad that she is the one who needed rescuing as if Chad didn’t walk in when he did, Paulina would have canned her and tried to ruin her career. Chad thinks she’s giving him too much credit as he was just following her lead. Chad admits this was just a distraction as he had just come from Abigail’s grave. Chad talks about imagining seeing Abigail there. Stephanie calls it so sad. Chad mentions his vision of Abigail telling him to move on with his life if only it were that easy.

Chanel tells Allie that before they take this any further, she has to make it clear that being fluid doesn’t mean that she’s always missing men. Chanel assures that she’s in a happy relationship with the woman she loves. Allie responds that she feels exactly the same way about her. Chanel asks what they do next if she says yes and how they will make it happen.

Alex returns to the Kiriakis Mansion with food from the Brady Pub for Sonny. Sonny thought he was going to Julie’s Place. Alex claims they were out of chili dogs so he just went by the Pub and got burgers and fries. Sonny says that sounds great but notes Alex’s mood and asks if he’s okay. Alex claims he is and that he’ll go get beers from the kitchen. Alex then gets stopped by a text from Allie and Chanel, asking him to come over.

Johnny tells Ava that he totally gets why she put the brakes on their relationship but he still thinks they’d be great together. Johnny tells her to take all the time she needs to grieve Jake, but if and when she’s ready, he’s here. Ava calls that good to know. EJ returns with wine and a present for Ava. EJ gives Johnny the wine to go get it opened. Ava opens her present from EJ and it’s her marriage license. EJ says he had it framed for her and decided to present it to her now that she moved in. EJ adds that the one problem is that is not Jake’s signature.

Paulina tells Sloan that Abe was right that she’s a damn ambulance chaser. Paulina tells her to think again if she’s expecting a hush money payoff because all of her dirty laundry has been aired out. Paulina tells Sloan that she can see herself out. Sloan then reveals that she wasn’t talking about Paulina, but about her daughter.

Chanel tells Allie that she can’t believe they are really doing this. Allie points out that they won’t be doing much of anything until Alex shows up. Chanel asks if it would be that terrible if he didn’t show up. Allie thought Chanel was up for this. Chanel assures that she is as Alex then arrives. They answer the door and thank him for coming as he asks what’s up.

Stephanie encourages Chad to give himself time. Chad says time hasn’t been working out for him which she questions. Chad says he put his recovery on fast forward. Chad thinks Abigail was telling him to be with somebody else, somebody he already likes a lot. Chad and Stephanie then start kissing.

Ava questions EJ starting this nonsense again with trying to prove her marriage to Jake wasn’t real. Johnny questions what EJ is trying to pull and insists it has to be Jake’s signature. EJ reveals he hired a team of handwriting experts to compare Jake’s signatures and they confirmed it had been forged. Johnny asks if EJ is lying. EJ responds that it’s his friend Ava who has been lying and said she had been married to get her hands on Jake’s shares of DiMera Enterprises. EJ declares that Ava may be a grifter and a con artist, but she is not a DiMera.

And send. How are you liking your first day at SJ P? Watching you work is exhausting. Come on. You did a lot. We sent out email blasts to everyone on the distribution list. We came up with a strategy for undecided voters confirmed that those freaking mailers were finally sent out, and we set up a major press conference for Paulina.

Yep, you’re right. Very impressive. And I couldn’t have done it without your help. Put her there. Partner

Are you leaving? No, I’m just, I’m just checking to make sure I didn’t walk into the wrong apartment by a mistake. Okay. Shut the door. No.

Did you really just say that you think we should have a threesome with Alexus? Yeah, I did

like Sands through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

So, where is this coming from? How long have you been thinking about us sleeping with Alex? Um, a while, I guess. Okay. How long is a while? A week. A month. Ever since he first asked us at the bar. I don’t know. It’s not like I wrote it in my calendar. Okay. Don’t get mad. You had to know I was gonna have some questions.

You just sprung this on me outta nowhere. I don’t feel like I’m spraying this on you. We talked about this, Uh, yeah, as a joke, because Alex wouldn’t stop trying to get in our drawers. Okay. I know, I know. But would it really be so bad if he did?

Look, I’m sorry. Okay. You’re right. I shouldn’t have snapped like that. It’s.

It’s a little bit frustrating, you know, almost, almost dying, losing everything that I care about and then Will has to just leave so quickly. I know, it’s just, it’s making it harder, this separation, even though I know it’s temporary. Hmm. Well I really am sorry that you couldn’t beat that with him. Yeah, me too.

You got lucky guy, son, you and Will. You got each other. You got Ari. You’re obviously really good at relationships, which is actually why I was kind of hoping. Hoping what? Maybe you could give me a little Sage Jackson CCU advice caught about. I love life. I think Tamara Enterprises is going to ruin the day they forced you out.

Their lost is definitely my game. Oh, you’re a good teacher. Don’t be so modest. Have great ideas and um, I know our deal was that you were only gonna work here until the election, but I might be trying to change your mind about that. Okay. We’ll see about that. Fair. Why don’t we celebrate your first day with a bottle of champagne on the company?

Okay? If that’s a per for for us J then I might be in.

Oh, I’m delighted to have the both of you here where you belong. If I seem surprised it was only because I didn’t hear from either of you about, uh, my offer. Yeah. I just decided why not? Well, I’m glad you said. Please come in. Please.

We’ll leave your bags there. We’ll, uh, go have a drink and we’ll have Harold over see, uh, getting the room ready. Okay. Wait that up so fast. Um, please ask Harold to get two rooms ready because Johnny and I won’t be sharing.

Now this is more like it. Wow, someone sounds very happy. . Oh, I’m always happy to see you. Find black Behind. Walking Through My Door.

Oh, uh, you. I don’t know what has made you so happy, but whatever it is, they should bottle it and sell it. I know I was a little down at breakfast. Yeah. Well, you know you shouldn’t give all those morning polls. You, You just announced that you were running when you got here. I was reading over the Progress reporter and our campaigns outreach.

Boy, that’s too Mickey, please. . That is an understatement. I had to light a fire under Stephanie Johnson, but I think it worked. This progress report is so my money . It’s like she read my mind. Well, I’m glad to hear that. Mm-hmm. So it, my, so I, I would’ve hated kicking Steven Kill’s daughter to the curb.

I’m hoping, I’m hoping that Stephanie will take my advice about bringing Chad Jamira on board. That man, he seems to have a lot on the ball.

Oh. Looks like you could use the top off. Mm. Thank you kindly. Oh, you’re welcome, kindly. Uh oh. Oh no. Okay. I gotta go grab another bottle. . Fair boy. Can’t let the boss ladies glass get empty. Will you cut that out? You are much more than an errand boy. Okay. Yeah. Then what is my, uh, official title here at SJ p r?

Well, SJ hasn’t figured that out yet.

No, don’t tell me. Pollina is sending notes about the stuff you just said there. What? It’s my brother trip. He and Joey are texting me every hour on the hour about mom. I wish she would just let me tell them how sick she is. Wow. Maybe, um, maybe she figures that it would be too hard on them. Since they’re so far away.

It’s no, no picnic being close by either. Yeah. I’m sorry. Thanks. After old Uncle Vic had, Stephanie and I start working together. I thought maybe we’d be getting somewhere. You know, we joked around, caught her checking me out a couple times, stuff like that. But then nothing ever happened. Soon as the meeting is done, she was gone.

But this is what I’m talking about, man. You’re totally obsessed with her, which is not only a turnoff for her, it’s not very healthy for you. Oh yeah, good thing. I don’t need a shrink. I need you to help me get through to her. Then have you ever just tried doing nothing? Have you ever just tried? Stop trying.

That’s your sage advice. Yes. Yes it is. Look, you need to get over this obsession and accept the fact that this woman is just not interested in you. Not only she not interested in you, but from what you tell me, she actively dislikes you and wants you to leave her the hell alone. And Uncle Vic thinks that you’re the smart one son.

I just told you I have to fix this. I have to do something. I told you that I was a jerk to her when I saw her at the hospital. Tina, with what’s the big deal? She already thought you were a jerk. Anyway, the big deal is that her mother was sick and I had no idea. There I was acting on my high horse like an ass, and now I have to do something to make up for it.

Okay? I have to ask you something. All right, So if you’re suddenly fine with this, , Does this have anything to do with Johnny? Ew. What? No. What? Okay. No. What does my brother have to do with this? Well, it’s because we’ve been fighting about him, and then I’d mentioned that I’d run into him, and then all of a sudden you’re talking about a threesome.

Is that what this is about? Because you’re still worried about my pass with Johnny, and you think that a threesome will solve that.

I know I had a bad reaction when I became aware of your relationship. Oh, you might say that, but I got used to the idea, so it seems a bit sophomore to keep up the pretense of separate rules. Yeah. It’s not a pretest. It’s all right. John. This family has a history of unusual couples. Gabby has diligently worked her way through most of the men in this family.

I think Tony and I are the only ones left standing. Kate was married to both father and Andre and Andre once married Kristen while pretending to be Tony. Okay. Okay. Yes. You’re making fun of us. It’s very funny. I’m not, I’m telling you that your May, December quasi incestuous involvement is part for the court shade of that, that Ava and I are not sleeping together and that’s not gonna change.

Is that right? Johnny and I are friends. That’s it.

What if I just played old school, Send her flowers wouldn’t work. Why not? A woman doesn’t love flowers. Oh, a woman who sold you over and over again. She doesn’t date men who she works with. Come on. It’s not like I’m sending her that. I want you to go to bed with me. Bouquet. It’s like I’m talking to a brick wall.

It’s more like I’m sending her the, I’m sorry for being a complete jackass while your mother is viciously sick arrangement. Ooh, Alex. That’s a great idea. And what does that arrangement look like again? Is it like a, a bunch of lilies with a black ribbon around it? It, it’s a funeral joke. Okay. Flowers are out.

I got it terrified that you’re this. No, no, no. This is genius. Sunny, I, Stephanie’s whole issue is that she doesn’t wanna date somebody that she works with. Right. Those were your own words. Right. But that’s not her only issue. From what I recall, she kind of hated you before you guys started. Oh, this Sony boy, I’m gonna roll here.

Okay. She’s not, she’s not to you got it. I got. I got it. Okay. Then again, petrified to hear this, honestly, it’s the perfect solution and I don’t know why hell just spit it out. It’s fine. Okay, so Stephanie’s whole problem is that she doesn’t wanna date somebody like me because we work together. So I’ll fire her.

I seem to have put the kbo on our little celebration. I’m sorry. No, I know your mom is on your mind around the clock. You shouldn’t feel guilty. About taking time for your own life. She just, she doesn’t get any better. She’s beloved at that hospital. There’s gonna be so many people fighting for her.

They’re gonna pull her through this. I wish I had your faith.

I, maybe you don’t know this, but when I was a little girl, we were told my dad was dead. Yeah, I, I know. Sorry. We went on believing it for years. I accepted the fact that he was lost to me forever. Must have felt like a miracle when he came home. It did, but during all those years before the miracle, my mom was my rock.

My world was still okay because I knew I had.

I can’t lose her. I just can’t.

Ah, thank you. I can definitely use a drink. Oh, rough day. I have had better ones. Trouble at City Hall. Yeah, he know. It’s not that I spoke to John this afternoon. Marlene is sick. Oh no. How. Serious. He’s really worried about her. You know what? When I was lecturing Stephanie today, Chad told me to cut her some slack because her mother was so sick.

Now she and Marla, they both work at the hospital. Maybe there’s some bad bug running around. Well, I wish we were that simple. John said that Marlena, Kayla, and Kate can all blame the same man for what? A. Well, do you know who he was talking about? Yep. Murphy is,

I have to say, I don’t understand what is there to understand. Johnny and I are friends. That’s it. F why did I catch the two of you and back together? Dad, nothing happened because I interrupted you. . Okay, So this may surprise you, but every once in a while things happen that don’t have anything to do with.

I’m the one who put the brakes on it. You may have forgotten, but, um, I recently lost my husband, so I’m not ready to move on with anyone just yet. I see. So you can, uh, forget about adding me and Johnny to the Twisted Damara family. His. Okay. How about that drink?

Wow. Uh, you really think that I would suggest us hooking up with Alex, because I am still scared of you being into Johnny. Like, do you really think I’m that twisted? No, that isn’t what I said. Well, then what are you saying? I, I don’t know. I’m, I’m really confused. Look, I just, I thought that this was something we could try together from the get go.

You have been very open about being sexually fluid. Okay. And you’re bi so what does that have to do with anything? Well, I, I think that it just shows that we are both attracted to men, right? Sure. So are you. Saying that you miss having sex with them?

No, I do not miss having sex with men. This is not about missing anything. I just, I just think it could be fun. Sure. It could. Fun. But I’ve learned with you that I can be happy and a loving, monogamous relationship. And I thought that you were happy too. I am. Are you sure? Yes. Yes, I am sure. Look, the last thing that I wanna do, the last thing I’d ever wanna do is cheapen what we have.

I just think that this is something that we could. You know, as a couple, bringing a guy like Alex into our relationship, right? Not into our relationship, just into our bed, okay? This is just about sex. There’s no feelings. And that is why. That is why Alex is the perfect guy to choose for this, because there’s no way that either one of us would ever fall for that dufu.

Alex, You’re kidding. Right? You know you can’t terminate Stephanie’s contract. Just because you want to date her, why not? Because that is literally textbook sexual harassment. Alex, you’ve dumb ass okay with the insults though really I know this is new for you to be attracted to someone and not have them attracted to you too.

This is not new for me, Sunny. It’s happened to me before and it’s still hurts. Say fair. How long ago was this? Third grade. Oh my god. I give, I give up. This is, it’s pointless. Okay. Why don’t we treat this like, uh, like a growing experience Except in the fact that a hard no does not mean maybe

I do hear where you’re coming from. Maybe you’re right, Sonny. You know, firing Stephanie would be wrong on many levels. Yes it would. So I’m gonna quit. Oh my God. I can’t. What are you, what are you doing? What do you mean you can’t, You’re on the road to recovery. Big boy. So part of, I literally got stabbed in my back.

Do not understand. You gotta be ing to get the CEO chair if you’re not what I heard. Xander, you looking for the job bra or what about dad wins? Alex, what about that? That chick what is off the boat? Stop. Stop. Another CEO change will make Titan look as unstable as Damara. Uncle Vick is very happy with the job you’re doing.

Okay, so. You’re gonna have to stay put until I’m well enough to come back. And what about my feelings for Stephanie? Did we not just talk about this, but since it obviously did not register? Okay. This woman alone, Okay. You’re gonna get over this obsession that you have and back off. All right. Okay. It registered.

I get it. I’m a little obsessed. It’s not healthy for me. I have to find a way to get it under control. I get it. Yeah, you do. Okay. And you will, You’re just feeling a little rejected right now and I’m feeling a little lonely. So how about we, uh, we soothe our aching hearts by feeling our empty stomachs. You might be on.

Does Julie’s place still have those, um, chilly dogs like Adrian used to make? I doubt they’re as good as hers, but anything we’ll do right now, how many you want? I know two, two, really two, two is gonna fill that t and ease that. Breaking hard. Make it six. You got it.

It was wrong of me to jump to the conclusion that the two of you were adding affair . You’re right. But I sort of can’t believe you’re saying it and I mistook your plans for Ava Forum for doing what you. Being nice to a grieving woman just to get what you want. And when you told me that you would move out, if I insisted that Ava move out to, I misunderstood your intentions there as well.

I should have known that a principled young man like yourself would never take advantage of a woman in Avis. Situation is what you were talking about before. What do you mean? Oh, come now. We both know how much you treasured your marriage to Jake, don’t we?

Hmm. So, trying to blow up Kate, Marlene and Kayla wasn’t enough of his. Off his ba, he’s making him sick. Math too. Poison in the month of biotoxin, if a fortune tiller have predicted. One day my husband would say a thing like that to me. I’d have called a liar and walked out without paying. Yeah. Well it was hard for me to believe too, But Oria seems to be going for Brooke.

He seems determined to kill the partners of his three greatest enemies, John and Steve Roman. My God, they must be losing their minds. I know. I wouldn’t be if it was you. Oh, that’s sweet. But let’s don’t go there. I’m gonna go over to the hospital to see how everyone’s doing. Well, the hospital is only allowing close family to visit.

Kate, Kate checked herself out the hospital. Let her do that. . When Kate wants something, it is hard to change her mind. Mm. Poor woman. Living with a woman that’s stubborn. Mm. That was a joke. Hey, uh, why don’t we go over there and see if there’s anything we can do for them. Now you talk . Oh, come in.

Sloan Peterson. Mayor car. It’s so nice to see you again. What do you want? Nothing from you. I’m here to see your wife.

Yeah, I do have some idea what you’ve been going.

Since my mom died, Kate has been, has been the, she’s always been there for me. You know, she’s, She’s closer to me than bj, even Tony, most of the time. I’m scared for her now. And you’re still grieving Abigail? Yeah. This job came around at just the right. For me too.

How have you been coping?

Well, I told myself I would, um, I’d, I’d feel better once, uh, once they caught whoever the killer was, like it would bring me closure. However, now that means didn’t work out that way. No, kind of the opposite. I mean, it filled my days. I, I had a job to do a purpose, but.

No, I just, I felt lost, so you threw me a lifeline. So thank you. Hmm. I think I’ll just nip down to the wine cellar and get a special bottle for this case. You a Melo drinker if I recall. Hm. Be careful down there. Don’t let yourself get locked in that secret room. I’ve heard so much about , don’t believe everything you hear

you, uh, buying all this friendliness from him. All I know is that EJ Damara doesn’t. Anything unless there’s something in it for him. Yeah. And that’s what I’m worried about. Let’s try not to, I’ve got your back. He goes both.

Thanks. Of course. So what are you thinking? Oh, . Well, I am not gonna lie. I am still a little thrown by this whole thing, baby. I think you’re worrying too much. And what I’m worried about is that you’re not giving this a whole lot of thought. You let Henry go with Nicole, and now you’re off to the races.

It’s just sex. Yeah. That sounds like the famous last words from a love triangle thriller. And then the next thing you know, somebody’s bunny’s getting boiled. Okay. Okay, Fine. . I will admit that the thought of you and Johnny still bothers me, but I know that’s what this was about, but Johnny is not the reason that I think we should be with Alex.

Okay. Look, I, I still remember what I had with Trip and I remember how much I enjoyed it and how hot it was. Mm-hmm. so much Shell that you cheated on him with me. Okay. Yes. You and I were always into each other. But we also had amazing chemistry with the men in our lives, and I just, I don’t want either one of us to miss that and then mess up what we have.

And you think that Alex C is the answer to that? It might be fun to figure out,

you two know each. Ms. Peterson has a thriving practice as a defense attorney. . You too kind. Mayor Carver. Oh, it’s, it’s a nice way of calling you an ambulance chaser. So what do you want with my wife? I hear you just announced that you’re running for governor. That’s right. Answer Ape’s question. I’d like to speak with you privately.

Um, why don’t you go ahead to the pub without. Are you sure? Mm-hmm. Not gonna handle whatever this is right here. Give my my love to Roman and Katie. Mm. All right. Be careful. My wife has friends in high places.

Okay, Ms. Peterson. Now what is this about

you? A busy woman, so I’ll get right to the point you do that. I know you didn’t mention my running for governor for nothing. I represent a client who’s in possession of certain inform. Should that information become public, your nascent political prayer would be over before it begins.

Okay. One Who needed rescuing? Here? It was me. No. Come on. Hmm. If you hadn’t walked in one you did this morning, I’m telling you Paul would’ve canned. No. Yeah, and just firing me wouldn’t have been enough. She would’ve tried to ruin my career. , you’re giving me too much credit. I was just following your lead, me saying, Yes, Paulina.

No, Paulina. That was the lead. No, it was just a, a distraction. Now I just come from Abby’s grave. Oh, Chad, almost. I imagined seeing her. I’m not losing it. No, I didn’t think that. It’s just so sad.

She told me that I, she moved on with my life. If only were that easy.

Okay. Before we take this any further, I have to make something clear. Being fluid doesn’t mean that I’m always missing men. I am in a happy, committed relationship with the woman I love. I feel. Exactly the same way about you.

So, uh, if I were to say yes to this, what will we do next? How will we make it happen?

Hey, Hey. I thought you were getting Julie’s. Yeah, they were all outta Julie Dogs, so it’s running by the pub and grab some burgers and fries. I hope that’s. I see. That sounds great.

Are you okay? Yeah.

I’m gonna run the kitchen. Grab some beers,

huh? What’s up? It’s all and chan. You want me to come over?

Listen, uh, before my dad gets back, I, I just wanted to say that I, I totally get why you put the breaks on us. I still think we’d be great together. Oh, Johnny Ash, Let me finish. You take all the time you need, Okay. To grieve for Jake. But if and when you’re ready, I’m here. Oops. It’s good to know. Oh, look who is back.

Who, Who’s that present for? Why you? Of course. There you go. If good Latin open this would you. Sure thing. Good.

Oh, it isn’t ticking. So that’s encouraging , how I enjoy that. Nimble weight of yours. Mm. Oh good. What is it?

It’s my marriage license. Mm. I took the liberty of having it framed for you. I was gonna have it delivered to you, but since you decided to move in, I thought I’d present it to you now. What a thoughtful gesture. Thank you. There’s just, One problem with it. And what’s that? Dad? That’s not your Uncle Jake’s signature.

Abraham was right about you. You are a damn ambulance Chas. Now, if you or your client is expecting some sort of hush money payday, then think again. All of Paul price’s, dirty laundry has been aired out for the world to see. Just let yourself out. Oh, I wasn’t talking about you Ms. Price. I was talking about your daughter.

I cannot believe we are really doing this well. We won’t be doing much of anything until Alex shows up. Well, would it be terrible if he didn’t? I thought you were up for. I am, but I,

Do you wanna get it or should I, Uh, let’s get it together. Okay.

Hey, hey, Alex. Thanks for coming. Sure. What’s up

Jen? You have to give yourself some time. Yeah, Time hasn’t exactly been working out for me. What do you mean? Um, maybe I. Should put the recovery thing on. Fast forward. I just don’t understand. I may have, maybe what Abby was trying to say was that I should, I should try being someone else

that, that I already like a lot.

Are you starting with that nonsense? You’re still trying to prove that my marriage to Jake wasn’t real. What are you trying to pull? Okay. Ava married Jake. That has to be his signature. Yeah, of course it is. I took the liberty of hiring a team of handwriting experts. I asked them to compare the signature on that license to documents that Ava and Jake signed for the mirror.

They said that Ava’s signature was a total match, but Jake’s had been forged a very almost flawless forgery, but a forgering nonetheless. He’s lying, right? He’s lying. It’s your good friend Ava. Who’s been lying? She said that she was married so she could get her grubby, grasping hands on your uncle’s share of Damira Enterprises.

Ava may be the consummate grifter and con artist, but I have it Uncle Authority that she is not a damira.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, my God, Johnny, you’re homeless.

Wow. What restraint? My phone goes off. It’s in my hand and in my face before the ding’s over. Yeah. Well, I know who it is. Don’t wanna deal. Oh, come on now you have to tell me. EJ made me an offer, Uhoh, and you’re gonna refuse you. You want a horse head in your bed? Okay. What’s the offer? He wants me to move back into his house.

Like through the hour class, so are.

Quitting time. Detective. I’m just trying to catch up. Won’t be long Jada. The whistle has blown time to go. Besides you have plans tonight? I do. You do with me. Hope that’s not gonna make your boyfriend jealous.

I understand yet.

Thanks. Thanks for

praying.

Eric.

What is it? What’s, What’s wrong?

I knew Allie shouldn’t have jumped the gun and kicked you out of the apartment when you had no place to go. Chanel sleeping on the street, Johnny, No, this is not okay. And Allie wouldn’t be okay with it either. I’m gonna talk to her. Trust me this, we’re gonna fix it, okay? I Chanel No, no. Chanel. Will you let me speak, please?

I’m not homeless. Okay. That woman just ruin a perfectly good cup of coffee. I’m fine. Really. In fact, I have two offers on places to live. I’m just, uh, Undecided. I, I can’t believe you’re even considering moving back into that nuthouse easier, tried to take away your shares. He tried to make you out as some mentally unstable ghost whisper.

Yeah, he, he actually apologized for that. He conceded that I wasn’t actually hallucinating, but I was seeing Stephan, not Jake. And you accepted his apology. He seemed very sincere. Oh, no one faked sincerity like he did Amara. He I, You cannot trust that psychopath. You are smarter than that. And if you’re still undecided, you know what I’m gonna answer for you?

Oh, hey, great to see you too. Sorry. Um, come in. I just, I, I thought you were Chanel and she forgot her key. Oh. Um, well, I hope you’re even more disappointed when you hear my news. Why, what’s going on? Um, I’m leaving going back to LA for work. What? You’re leaving? Mm-hmm. with, with both Grandma Kate and Grandma Marla.

Sick in the hospital. Yeah. And Sunny’s just getting out too. I, I know the timing’s the worst, but I, I don’t have really many options. I have meetings to go to. I have to be there in person I writing and, um, we’re going in pre-production on this project on direct, so, Mr. Big Shot. All right, we get it. But son can’t go with you to la I mean, he can recover there.

Um, I wish, but no, uh, he’s staying and I’m not thrilled about the long distance thing, but we talked about it and our relationship can withstand it. Wish I had that kind of confidence.

Ah, what’s your deal? Walked in here half expecting you to be brimming with confidence. Seeing as we’re so close to achieving our goals for the company, not close enough. Getting your shares back from Gabby was a coup, but we’re still a crucial vote. Short they was, Voting rights have been restored, so we need Ava or Johnny, or ideally both on our side, which is why I went outta my way to deliver such sincere apologies and invite them both to move back here.

So what’s the problem where? They’re thinking about it and I haven’t responded yet to my texts. Not a good sign, brother. Well, they haven’t said no, so I remain optimistic, and even if they do refuse my offer, I’ll just come up with more incentives for them to move in and tell ’em to reconsider. Whatever it takes.

They need to remain close in proximity so I can massage their votes and then we can finally kick Gabby’s ass out of the CEO’s chair. Very perfect and sexy.

I will make my own decisions. Thank you. Ava, you just got your voting rights back. Do you know how hard it was for Lee and I to to convince his father that your hallucinations of Jake were just a case of mistaken identity? Don’t throw that away. Okay? If you move back into that creepy, depressing place, you’re gonna be under constant pressure to vote e j’s way i e against me.

And once I’m. You’ll be fooling yourself if you don’t think that you’re next on that list. Oh, you think that I’m gonna be that easily manipulated that I’m just gonna crack under pressure. I know. I know you’re savvy. I know you’re strong, But EJ Savier and stronger . Okay, so now I wanna move back in. Just to prove you wrong, you know, even if you were to convince me to stay away, your job is still at risk.

What does that mean? What it means is you’re forgetting that other voting board member that e j’s presently court. He invited Johnny to move back into, Oh, well why? Why didn’t you tell me that in the first place? Grab your phone and tell either you’re moving back in. Now

you’re joking, right? I mean, you have to know that Eric would not be jealous if you and I grabbed a tea or whatever. Yes, I was joking. I do know that. Right, right. Uh, so what are these plans referring to? Well, you know what, why don’t we call it a reward? Right. Because now there are two dangerous perps that are off the streets and behind bars because of you, your hard work and incredible detective skills.

I was just doing my job. I mean, I was just one of many people who’ve helped, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay. Look, the press isn’t here. All right. Just take the compliment. . Okay. Okay. Thank you, boss. Okay, good. So what do you say? You wanna break bread with me or what I’m buying? Of course. No, unless you have plans with Eric tonight.

Uh, nope. We don’t. He’s burning the midnight oil as new go, right? Yeah. Really? Hell’s that going? Nicole hasn’t brought it up to you. Well, she just said that, uh, she’s thankful to be able to give him the opportunity, uh, that he can be back doing something he loves. And by that I mean photography. Yeah. Yeah.

He’s he’s very talented. Yeah. Yeah, he is. You know what, Ashley, I have an idea. Why don’t we go over there, Right? We can go over there. We’ll bring him some food. We can surprise him. Huh? What do you say? Sure. Sounds good. Okay. Yeah, let’s do it. Come on. So this mysterious disease that your mom and Kate and Kayla have, it’s similar to the one that your dad suffered from.

Yeah. Which was years ago, and it’s all tied to Orff fees. Oh my God. Eric, I am so sorry. But your dad was cured, obviously. Yeah, I mean it’s, it’s just for a rare orchid, which apparently is extinct. Oh no. So what else can be done this point? No one knows re came in last night to see if he could be some help, and he and John, they went to go visit Dr.

Roth as the last resort. I mean, he was involved in RUS care the first time around, so, But he just told him at this time, there’s nothing he can do to

Eric. Are, are you saying that Mar and, and Kate and Kayla, they, they might not make it.

What are you doing here? You need to go be with your mom and I should go with you. You shouldn’t be alone.

Nicole, believe me, that’s where I want to be. I want to be with my mom and dad and all of them, but John, he’s just said it’s best that everyone just stay home tonight. My mom hasn’t been sleeping. Mom. She needs rest. I can’t imagine what she must be going through, but all of them. Are going through. But you know, I, I think this problem with the extinct Ford, I, I’m, I’m sure they can solve it.

I mean, they, they must be able to synthesize it or something. I, I’m sure there’s just a, a cure around the corner

here. That’s what I’m praying for. Hey, thank you for telling me what I needed to hear.

Well, there’s one thing I know for sure you being there for your mom and for the others, it’s, it’s a really big help. And I, I know that I’ve said this to you money many times before, but Damnit bears repeating.

You have a gift, Eric, Her comforting people. For giving them strength and giving them hope just by being you and because of your, your big, generous heart.

Ready for some takeout.

Allie, something going on with you and Chanel. ? Well, yes. I don’t know. We’ve had a couple of fights, and the last fight that we had was about Johnny, because he planted himself on our couch for two full days. I don’t know. Supposedly right now he’s house challenged and I don’t know. He’s gone now, but the fight kind of continues.

Why? Why is that? Well, it’s because she and Johnny, they have this connection, you know? Yeah. But she rejected him to be with. Yeah. Right. She chose you. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Maybe I overreacted. Okay. . All right. Well, I mean, just, just tell Chanel that and make up We did. Okay. Then I’m, I’m, Then I can, I’m kinda lost.

What is the, what’s the problem?

Allie’s, This says she’s glad that you made up. Yeah. As of. It’s like an afterthought. It’s like, see ya. Oh, and by the way, I’m glad we made up. Okay, cool. Bye. I, I, I have to say, um, Allie, how do I say that? Oh my God. You’re taking her side. No, I’m not. I’m no, I’m, I’m no sides. I’m just, I’m just saying that you’re coming off as little insecure.

That’s all. Okay. Well, maybe I am a little. I’m obviously very new to this bisexual thing and I know that I’m still attracted to men. So I know Chanel is definitely still attracted to men and I don’t know, admit it worries me. I feel like maybe Chanel wants something that I can’t give her. So Eva asked you to room with her at the Salem in Yes, but she said that it would be strictly platonic anyway.

Before I even had a chance to answer, my dad came crashing in and invited us both to live back in the mansion. And yet you’re sitting here on a park bench with coins in your coffee cup, . Well, like I said, I am undecided, so I was able Why? You’re gonna turn down, going back to live in a mansion with a servant and a chef and a whole movie theater.

Like, how would you do that? I, I mean, I, I can’t speak for Ava, but I, I don’t, I don’t want to go back. Unless she does,

You think I’m a fool?

No, I, I get it. You wanna keep your options open, but you’re not giving up on Ava. That’s right. I’m not giving up on her.

Now you’re saying that I should move back in with that. I believe psychopath is the word that you used. Johnny has a huge crush on you. If he takes his dad’s offer and moves in and you don’t, he’s gonna feel rejected. I already rejected him. We are wrong for each other, for all the reasons I’ve already explained to you.

All right. Why are you having such a hard time deciding if you’re gonna move in with. I’m not moving in with him. I’m moving in at the same time as him. And you know what? Why wouldn’t I be tempted? You lived in that castle, right? I mean, not only is it enormous, it has every amenity under the sun. Like you said, what cooks, servants a movie theater.

Don’t forget that. Why am I debating this? Not a clue. I mean, it really does have everything including ej, Meaning what? Well, you know, maybe. Interested in the sun because you’d prefer the sins of the father.

Oh, Ra j um, I didn’t know that you were, Hey, let me explain please. No, she’s very sick. And so is is Kate and Kayla and, and Nicole. She was trying to call me down because I can’t be with my mom tonight and. Thanks to you. I’m, I’m feeling better. Oh, well I am so sorry. Wrong with your mom. Listen, and I, I get into it right now.

I just kind of got control of my, my emotions thanks to Nicole. So, Yeah, of course. We understand. We, uh, no, we should have called. We just wanna surprise you. Oh, we appreciate it. Yeah. And look, if you don’t mind, I kinda lost my appetite, so I’m just, I’m gonna get outta here. I’ll go with you. Um, unless you’d rather be alone.

No, yeah, sure. Please. I’d like that. Thank you. Yeah, no problem. Goodnight later. You too, detective.

Oh, you look so, uh, depressed. It’s a good thing you were here for. Yeah. And he is lucky to have Jah and she’s right. He shouldn’t be alone tonight. Yeah.

So, Okay. Is this like Chanel missing guys in general, or one guy specifically? Because like I told you, she chose you. No, I know, I know, I know, I know. It took her long enough, didn’t it? And her and Johnny were married, like literally married, remember like three seconds. Yeah. Right. Uh, I, I don’t know. Look, I know that I’m all over the place right now.

I’m just really confused. Okay. All am maybe are, are like, Are you missing guys too?

Maybe. I don’t know. I mean, I think about trips sometimes and how great that was for a while anyway, but I love Chanel and Chanel’s who I wanna be with, and I just, I wanna make her happy and satisfied, which, Is why I’ve been thinking more and more about something that Alex Cki mentioned. What? Okay. What was that?

Well, he and Chanel and myself were hanging out at small bar and he just kind of threw it out there that we should, um, have a threesome,

threesome. You’re shocked. No, I mean, yeah. I mean, I’m, I’m, I’m surprised. Yeah, certainly. But I’m sorry. Sorry. Go on. Okay. How did, how did Chanel react? How did you react actually to that suggestion? Yeah. Well, um, honestly, I was kind of appalled. Mm-hmm. , but I could tell Chan was interested. She didn’t say that she was interested, but she didn’t need to.

I could tell, and I don’t know will, I don’t want her feel like she’s missing out on anything. Okay. Missing out because she’s still interested in guys, Is that what you mean? Yeah, that’s exactly what I mean. And so maybe what Alex suggested, maybe that’s exactly what she needs, you know, it’d be something that we would be still doing together as a couple.

Mm-hmm. , but she’d be able to be with a guy. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. I mean, there, there’s, there’s logic in there somewhere. Uh, well, if you don’t mind me asking, have you and Sonny ever had a threesome?

First, you’re pushing me to be with Johnny, and now you are asking me about ej. Honestly, this is starting to sound like some bad late night cable movie. Sins of the father. Sorry. I have a damara. The son’s a hot, but the father’s so naughty. . My God. Would you stop? Come on. I mean, we’ve talked about EJ and you before.

No, you’ve talked about us before. Well, that’s because I have an amazing sexual tension meter. It’s kind of like a superpower. Yeah. Or maybe you’re just projecting out of frustration. What is that supposed to mean? Oh, come on. It can’t be easy getting engaged to a guy and then all of a sudden out of nowhere, the real love of your life comes back and says to you that he cannot stay on the side of you.

Gotta say, I’m a little surprised by your comment about Gabby, about wanting her out of the company. How can you be surprised by that? No, it was more so. Your comment about her physical appearance? Oh, her perfect sexy, you mean that’s the one was more so the look on your face when you said it almost as if you were challenging me to agree with you,

How could you not look? Some things just aren’t up for debate. You never took philosophy. Not aware of the concept of the platonic ideal. Look, I may despise the woman, but even Plato sword, thousands of years before Gabby was even born. Oh, come on, Ste. You can’t tell me that you don’t think Gabby is a stunningly beautiful woman with eight killer ball.

Is Gavi a beautiful woman? Yes. That’s hard to miss. Am I attracted to her? Absolutely not. Quite frankly, when I think about being with her now, I’m physically repulsed, almost nauseous, strange, not to me. See, to me, what’s strange is the fact that I ever could have been in love with her, let alone married to her.

Let me ask you this.

If you are so disgusted by. Why are you still wearing your ring?

Actually, I don’t know.

After I spent, well, four years on ice, I woke up and there it was, and here it still is. You know, it’s quite an adjustment being resurrected after four years. So I haven’t given much thought as to why the ring is there, let alone whether I’m gonna keep it on or.

Right. Well, I, I wasn’t trying to put you on the spot. I’m only curious, but if I may, perhaps there are some subconscious, unresolved feelings at play there. I mean, you say you are over completely over Gabby. But the general consensus was before you died, the two of you were madly in love soul lands. In fact, I would say that my personal vote owns a hell of a lot more weight than the general consensus.

Fine. Five, believe you. But do you believe you? How’s that supposed to mean? You don’t need to convince me Step. But why not? If you’re so completely over Gabby or disgusted by her, In fact, why not take off that ring?

Was that really necessary? Throwing Stephan in my face like. Well, you’re the one who’s throwing my personal life around, like it’s a volleyball already to spike in e j’s face. Also, you can keep your top spot here at Damara. It’s not the same and you know it. How is it not the same? You’re talking about the person I thought I was gonna spend the rest of my life with my husband, my soulmate, and now he’s back and he tells me that I discussed him, You and John.

I don’t know what you and Johnny have going on, but it, it does not compare. Not even close. Okay. All right. You’re right. Okay. I’m sorry. It must be very painful for you for stuff in the B cycle. No, it’s not just painful. It’s does not make any sense unless the Dr. Wolf, Dr. Wolf, must have done something to his brain, to his heart, and I can’t find that bastar to beat the truth outta him.

Why’s the truth so important to you? Hmm. You are engaged to another man. Yeah. No. Yes, yes, you’re right. I, and I really love Lee. I really do.

But now that Stephen’s back, it just feels unresolved. It feels incomplete. I don’t know how to move on without. Want closure? Yes. Okay. I hate that word, but Yes. Right. And, and in moving back to the matter at hand, I, I need to focus on my future, my future here at Damara. You know, after everything I have done for you, I think I deserve at least an answer to what we really have to ask.

Are you gonna move into the mansion or not?

Uh, I couldn’t, but notice that things got a little weird when the topic turned to a. Well, probably because it’s none of my business. . None of your business. Chanel, I think we both know everything under the sun is your business. Okay. True. But come on, Chanel, I’m a big boy. Give it to me straight. Whatever you’re holding back, just say it.

Well it’s, it seems like, well, the universe put you and Ava in a room together, right? Yeah. And there was already spark there. Yes. And. , the two of you could have lept at the chance and let hormones and nature take its course, but, but well, she didn’t. And sometimes when the universe gives you that shot and you don’t take it well, Johnny, I think you already have your answer.

I just. Maybe it’s not the one you want.

It’s a simple question. Will have you and Sunny ever had a threesome? You, you know what, I’m, I’m sorry. I’m not comfortable, um, discussing that without, without Sunny present it cuz it would not, it just wouldn’t feel right. Well, I’m talking about it without Chanel present. Okay. But that, that is your choice.

Maybe, maybe I’m just more private than you are. Okay. Yeah, I think you are. Well, if you’re not gonna answer my question, can you at least tell me if you think it’s wrong, like immoral or whatever? Oh, yeah. No, of course not. I mean, as long as everyone’s consenting, you know, and fine with it. But I mean, the, the, the important thing though is that if you do this, you’re not just doing it for Chanel, Right?

It has to be something that, that you want. Yeah. Yeah. Right. I think just right now, I don’t know what I. Okay. Well, I mean, just give yourself some time and figure it out. Yeah. And I gotta go. Sorry, I’m gonna, otherwise I’m gonna miss my flights. You gonna be okay? Yeah. Honestly talking, you really helped a lot.

I, um, I’m gonna keep you updated on Grandma Marlena and grandma. She, I’m gonna try and see them tomorrow and I’ll check in on Sunny. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. I love you. I love you too. Have a safe flight. Thanks. Bye.

You are so sweet bringing this food over. Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . Yeah. Well, it turns out it wasn’t a great night for a party though, was it? Yeah. Whatever. I prefer to be alone with you anyway. Mm mm.

And you know what? Here we are. My back, where it all started. That is true. No, I think this might in fact be the very same table.

Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm.

What you saw when you walked in, Eric, it’s, it’s okay. Really. I’m just glad that Nicole could be there for you when you needed someone to, to comfort you. Calm me down.

But, um, I will admit that I like to be that person. I want you to be able to confide in me. Count on me.

I’m here for,

I know that.

I do know that.

Here we go.

Head home.

You waiting for me to take you up on your offer? No, I do have another option. So do you, ah, so has your father been texting you all day? Like He has me. My phone’s been blown up a bit. Yeah. And, and I was just about to call my dad, let him know I made a decision. I’m gonna move back in to the mans. No more, uh, sleeping on the floor, getting thrown out, hopefully.

And had you make this decision? Yeah, I was talking to a friend of mine. She gave me some good advice about sizing up my options and I decided to take that advice. Well that’s funny cuz I was talking to, well, someone too and I didn’t get advice as much as I got Hared. , but, uh, I guess she helped me decide too, and

I am tired of excuses. Where are you on finding Dr. Willem Wolf? What? No. Well, I need to know his whereabouts asap. You hear me? This is top priority. Bastar did something to seven. I’m gonna figure out what.

I was just thinking about you. Why are you here?

Well,

Stephen, what, um, what are you doing?

I was reminded again tonight that I’m still wearing this, the ring you gave me. I can see.

Should have it back. I don’t want any more reminders of our marriage or of you.

Hey babe. You get my notes? Yeah. That’s why I thought you were coming right back. Oh, yeah. I ran into Johnny at the square. Oh, so you two hung out? We just talked for a bit. At first I thought he had no place to go, but it turns out that he has options. He’s just trying to figure out how to play. I dunno if that means that boy is all about Ava can’t get her off the brain.

He asked, so I told him that I think that he can do better, but um, I mean, she’s an ex mafia princess for one thing and then there’s a whole age difference. I mean, it just doesn’t make sense. You agree, don’t you? That doesn’t make sense. Well, Tell me what you think, Gordon.

I think we should have a threesome without.

And you are 100% positive

I was starting to wonder if you’d ever come through, but I am very grateful. This is exactly what I needed. I have to go,

Hey Pops. Wow. Yeah. I thought about your, uh, your apology. And your offer and, uh, yeah, I decided this is where I belong. Well, I couldn’t be happiest, son. Please come in. We’ll get you sorted back in, straight away. Oh. Um, okay. I’m curious. Have you, have you heard from, uh, from Ava? I was just about to tell you it was coming too.

Ava, this is a surprise why you invited us both to move back in. Yeah. This is the problem, aj, aren’t you excited to welcome your son and your sister-in-law back?

Hi. I just wanted to make sure you made your flight on time. Okay, good. And just so you know, okay. As soon as Sarah gives me the green light, I’m gonna come visit you. Okay? And you and me and a we can video chat tonight. Come miss you already

We came up with a strategy for undecided voters confirmed that those freaking mailers were finally sent out, and we set up a major press conference for Paulina.

Yep, you right. Very impressive. And I couldn’t have done it without your help. Put her there. Partner

Are you leaving? No, I’m just, I’m just checking to make sure I didn’t walk into the wrong apartment by a mistake. Okay. Shut the door. No.

Update written by Joseph

Johnny sits in the town square holding a coffee cup. Someone walks by with the wrong idea and drops some change in to his cup right as Chanel walks by, causing her to question if Johnny is now homeless.

EJ has a drink at home while sending Ava text messages, asking if she has thought any more about his offer to move back in.

Ava and Gabi work at the DiMera Enterprises office. Ava’s phone goes off but she ignores it. Gabi comments on how quickly she checks when her phone goes off. Ava responds that she knows who it is and she doesn’t want to deal with it. Gabi says now she has to tell her. Ava then informs Gabi that EJ made her an offer. Gabi tells Ava to refuse and asks what the offer is.. Ava then reveals that EJ wants her to move back in.

Jada works at the police station until Rafe interrupts and tells her it’s time to go home because she has plans tonight with him. Rafe jokes that he hopes that’s not going to make her boyfriend jealous.

Eric is at Basic Black, finishing a phone call with Roman and says he’ll be praying for them as he hangs up. Nicole comes over and asks Eric what’s wrong. Eric responds that it’s his mom.

Chanel complains about Allie kicking Johnny out before he had a place and questions him sleeping on the street. Chanel says she’s not okay with this and Allie wouldn’t be either, so she’s going to talk to her about it and they will fix this. Johnny stops her and assures that he’s not homeless and that the woman just mistakenly ruined his coffee. Johnny informs Chanel that he has two offers on places to live but he’s just undecided.

Gabi can’t believe Ava would even consider moving back in to the DiMera Mansion. Gabi talks about how EJ tried to steal Ava’s shares and make her out to be a mentally unstable ghost whisperer. Ava informs her that EJ actually apologized for that and acknowledged that she wasn’t hallucinating, but just seeing Stefan instead of Jake. Gabi questions Ava accepting EJ’s apology. Ava says he seemed very sincere. Gabi argues that no one can fake sincerity like EJ and calls him a psychopath. Gabi decides that if Ava is still undecided then she’s going to answer for her as she then grabs Ava’s phone.

Will goes to see Allie. Will notes Allie’s disappointment so she says she just thought he was Chanel. Will says she’s about to be even more disappointed as he informs her that he’s leaving town and going back to LA. Allie questions him leaving with Marlena and Kate both sick in the hospital. Will adds that Sonny is just getting out too and he knows the timing is the worst but he doesn’t have many options as he has to go to meetings and a project is going in to pre production. Allie questions Sonny not going with him. Will wishes but says Sonny is staying and he’s not thrilled about being long distance but they know their relationship can withstand it. Allie wishes she had that kind of confidence.

Stefan enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion and questions him not brimming with confidence when they are so close to achieving their goals with the company. EJ complains that they are not close enough as they are still a crucial vote short. EJ says they need either Ava or Johnny or ideally both on their side, so he went out of his way to offer them sincere apologies and invite them back to the mansion. Stefan asks where they are then. EJ says they are thinking about it but they haven’t responded to his texts. Stefan worries that’s not a good sign. EJ points out that they haven’t said no, so he’s remaining optimistic. EJ adds that if they refuse his offer, he’ll come up with more incentives for them to move back in. EJ declares that he will do whatever it takes as he needs their votes and then they can finally kick Gabi’s ass out of the CEO’s chair. EJ then remarks that it would be kicking Gabi’s perfect, sexy ass.

Ava takes her phone back and tells Gabi that she will make her own decisions. Gabi argues about how hard it was to get Ava her voting rights back. Gabi says if Ava moves back in to the DiMera Mansion, she’ll be under constant pressure to vote EJ’s way. Gabi adds that if she gets voted out, Ava will be next. Ava questions Gabi thinking that she’s that easily manipulated and that she’ll just crack under pressure. Gabi knows she’s savvy and strong but not as much as EJ. Ava declares that now she wants to move back in just to prove Gabi wrong. Ava warns that Gabi’s job is still at risk since EJ is also courting Johnny and invited him to move back in too. Gabi questions why she didn’t tell her that in the first place and orders Ava to tell EJ that she’s moving back in now.

Jada asks Rafe if he’s joking since he has to know that Eric wouldn’t be jealous of them grabbing a bite to eat or whatever. Rafe confirms that he was joking. Jada asks what their plans are. Rafe calls it a reward because now they have two dangerous perps off the streets and behind bars thanks to Jada’s hard work and incredible detective skills. Rafe invites her to eat with him unless she has plans with Eric. Jada says she does not as Eric is burning the midnight oil at his new job. Rafe asks how that’s going. Jada questions if Nicole hasn’t brought it up to him at all. Rafe says that Nicole just said she was thankful to be able to give Eric the opportunity and that he can be back doing something he loves. Jada calls Eric a very talented photographer. Rafe then suggests they surprise Eric and Nicole by bringing food over to Basic Black which Jada agrees to.

Eric tells Nicole about the mysterious disease that Marlena, Kate, and Kayla have being similar to what Roman had 25 years ago and it’s all tied to Orpheus. Nicole says she’s so sorry but points out that Roman was cured. Eric explains that there was a serum from a rare orchid that is apparently extinct now. Nicole asks what else can be done. Eric says at this point, no one knows. Eric informs her that Rex came in to town, so he and John went to see Dr. Rolf as a last resort but he told them that there’s nothing he can do. Nicole questions if Eric is saying that Marlena, Kate, and Kayla might not make it. Eric admits they don’t know. Nicole questions what Eric is doing here then and tells him that he should be with his mom. Nicole adds that she should be with him because he shouldn’t be alone. Eric assures that’s where he wants to be but John said it’s best that everyone stay home tonight since Marlena needs her rest. Nicole can’t imagine what they must be going through. Nicole encourages that they can solve the problem with the orchid and have a cure around the corner. Eric says that’s what he’s praying for. Eric thanks her for telling him what he needed to hear. Nicole says one thing she knows for sure is that Eric being there for them is a big help. Nicole tells Eric that he has a gift for comforting people and giving them strength and hope just by being himself. Eric then hugs Nicole as Rafe and Jada walk in with food.

Will asks Allie if something is going on with her and Chanel. Allie says she doesn’t know but they had a couple of fights and the last one was about Johnny sleeping on their couch for two days. Allie notes that Johnny is gone now but the fight kind of continues. Allie talks about Chanel and Johnny having this connection. Will points out that Chanel rejected Johnny and chose Allie. Allie admits maybe she overreacted. Will encourages Allie to tell Chanel that and make up. Allie says they did so Will questions what the problem is. Allie shows Will the note that Chanel left and complains about how she only wrote that she’s glad they made up as a “PS”. Will worries that Allie is just a little insecure. Allie admits maybe she is as she’s very new to being bisexual. Allie knows she’s still attracted to men, so she knows Chanel definitely is, so she worries that Chanel wants something that she can’t give her.

Johnny tells Chanel that Ava invited him to live with her platonically at the Salem Inn but before he could answer, EJ barged in and invited them both to live back at the DiMera Mansion. Chanel questions what Johnny is doing here on the bench. Johnny repeats that he’s undecided and so is Ava. Chanel questions turning down going back to a mansion. Johnny says he can’t speak for Ava but he doesn’t want to go back unless she does. Chanel gets that he wants to keep his options open but he’s not giving up on Ava which Johnny confirms.

Ava questions Gabi telling her that she should move back in with EJ now. Gabi points out that Johnny has a huge crush on Ava so if he moves back in without her, he will feel rejected. Ava points out that she already rejected him as they are wrong for each other for all the reasons she already explained. Gabi questions why she’s having such a hard time deciding whether to move in with him then. Ava talks about all the positives of the DiMera Mansion and then wonders why she’s debating this. Gabi then wonders if Ava isn’t interested in Johnny because she’d prefer EJ.

Nicole says she didn’t know Rafe and Jada were coming. Eric and Nicole explain that Marlena, Kate, and Kayla are very sick. Eric adds that Nicole was trying to calm him down because he can’t be with his mom tonight and now he’s feeling better. Rafe says he’s sorry. Jada asks Eric what’s wrong with his mom. Eric doesn’t want to get in to it and says he’s gotten control of his emotions thanks to Nicole. Rafe assures that they understand and should’ve called, but they wanted to surprise them. Nicole says they appreciate it. Eric says he’s lost his appetite so he’s going to get out of here. Jada offers to go with him. Eric thanks her and accepts as they then exit together. Rafe comments that Eric looked so depressed and that it’s a good thing Nicole was there for him. Nicole responds that Eric is lucky to have Jada as he shouldn’t be alone tonight.

Will asks Allie if this is about Chanel missing guys in general or just one guy in specific, reminding her that she chose her. Allie complains that it took Chanel long enough and she used to be married to Johnny. Allie knows she’s all over the place but she’s really confused. Will then asks if Allie is missing being with guys too. Allie says maybe and she doesn’t know. Allie admits she thinks about Tripp sometimes and how great that was for awhile. Allie assures that she loves Chanel and that’s who she wants to be with, so she wants to make her happy and satisfied. Allie says that’s why she has been thinking more and more about something Alex Kiriakis mentioned which Will questions. Allie informs Will that they were hanging out and Alex threw it out there that they should have a threesome. Will is surprised but asks how they reacted to the suggestion. Allie talks about how she could tell that Chanel was interested, so she doesn’t want her to feel like she’s missing out on something. Allie wonders if the threesome is exactly what Chanel needs since they’d still be doing it together as a couple but Chanel could be with a guy. Will admits there’s logic in there somewhere. Allie then asks Will if he and Sonny ever had a threesome.

Ava questions Gabi pushing her to be with Johnny and then asking her about EJ. Gabi says they have talked about her and EJ before. Gabi talks about having an amazing sexual tension meter. Ava suggests she’s just projecting out of frustration which Gabi questions. Ava talks about Gabi getting engaged to a guy and then suddenly the real love of her life comes back and says he can’t stand the sight of her.

Stefan tells EJ that he’s a little surprised by his comment about Gabi’s physical appearance. Stefan feels the look on EJ’s face was as if he was challenging him to agree with him. EJ asks how he couldn’t and says some things are not up for debate even if he despises Gabi. EJ argues that Stefan can’t tell him that he doesn’t think Gabi is a stunning woman with a killer body. Stefan acknowledges that Gabi is a beautiful woman but says he is absolutely not attracted to her and he’s physically repulsed by the idea of being with her. EJ calls that strange. Stefan says not to him and he finds it strange that he ever could have been in love with Gabi or married to her. EJ then questions why Stefan is still wearing his wedding ring if he’s so disgusted by her. Stefan admits he doesn’t know. Stefan says after spending four years on ice, he woke up and it was there so it still is. Stefan calls it quite an adjustment to being resurrected after four years, so he hadn’t given much thought to the ring. EJ says he wasn’t trying to put him on the spot and was just curious. EJ questions if there’s some subconscious, unresolved feelings there. EJ notes that Stefan says he’s completely over Gabi, but before he died, the general consensus was they were soulmates madly in love. EJ questions if Stefan believes himself. EJ then suggests Stefan take off his ring if he’s so disgusted by Gabi.

Gabi asks Ava if it was really necessary to throw Stefan in her face like that. Ava complains that Gabi is throwing her personal life around just to keep her top spot at DiMera. Gabi argues that Stefan was the person she thought she would spend her life with and now he’s back and she disgusts him. Gabi complains that whatever Ava and Johnny have does not compare to what she and Stefan had. Ava agrees and apologizes. Gabi states that it doesn’t make sense and then suggests that Dr. Rolf must have done something to Stefan’s brain and heart, but she can’t find Dr. Rolf to beat the truth out of him. Ava questions why the truth is so important to her since she’s engaged to another man now. Gabi says she really does love Li, but now that Stefan’s back, it just feels unresolved and incomplete. Gabi doesn’t know how to move on without closure. Gabi says she needs to focus on her future at DiMera. Gabi thinks she deserves an answer after everything she’s done for Ava, so she asks if Ava is going to move in to the DiMera Mansion or not.

Johnny tells Chanel that he couldn’t help but notice that things got weird when the topic turned to Ava. Chanel calls it none of her business. Johnny tells her to say whatever she’s holding back. Chanel says it seems like the universe put he and Ava in a room together and they could’ve leapt at the chance and hormones, but she didn’t. Chanel thinks Johnny already has his answer but it’s not the one he wants.

Allie asks Will again if he and Sonny ever had a threesome. Will says he’s not comfortable discussing that without Sonny present because it wouldn’t feel right. Allie asks if he can at least tell her if he thinks threesomes are wrong. Will says no as long as everyone is consenting. Will adds that he doesn’t think she should do it just for Chanel and it has to be something she wants too. Allie admits she doesn’t know what she wants. Will encourages her to give herself some time to figure it out. Will says he has to go or else he’ll miss his flight. Allie says talking to him helped a lot. Allie adds that she’ll keep him updated on Marlena, Kate, and Sonny. They say I love you to each other as Will then exits.

Rafe and Nicole eat together at Basic Black. Nicole thanks him for bringing the food. Rafe says it turned out not to be a great night for a party but he prefers to be alone with her anyway as he then kisses her. Rafe points out that they are back at the Basic Black table where it all started.

Jada sits with Eric in his room. Eric brings up what she saw when she walked in. Jada assures that it’s okay and she’s glad that Nicole could be there to comfort him and calm him down. Jada admits that she’d like to be that person and she wants Eric to be able to confide in her and count on her. Jada assures that she’s here for him. Eric thanks her and insists that he knows that as they kiss.

Ava goes to the Salem Inn where Johnny greets her outside. Ava asks if EJ has been texting Johnny all day like he has with her. Johnny confirms that and announces he’s decided to move back in to the DiMera Mansion. Ava asks how he made that decision. Johnny says a friend gave him some good advice. Ava responds that she did the same and a friend helped her decide too.

Gabi talks on the phone about trying to find Dr. Rolf, complaining that she needs to find him ASAP. Gabi hangs up and declares that Dr. Rolf did something to Stefan so she’s going to figure out what. Stefan then walks in to the office. Gabi tells him that she was just thinking about him and asks why he’s here. Stefan informs her that he was reminded again that he’s still wearing his wedding ring and he decided that she should have it back because he doesn’t want any more reminders of their marriage or her. Stefan leaves the ring on her desk and walks out.

Chanel goes home and tells Allie that she ran in to Johnny at the town square. Allie questions if they hung out. Chanel says they talked a bit and says Johnny is all about Ava. Chanel adds that she told Johnny that she thinks he can do better. Allie looks on annoyed as Chanel continues on. Chanel then asks Allie if she agrees and asks what she thinks. Allie responds by announcing that she thinks they should have a threesome with Alex Kiriakis which catches Chanel by surprise.

EJ finishes a phone call, saying he’s very grateful as this is exactly what he needed. EJ hangs up as the doorbell rings and Johnny arrives. Johnny tells EJ that he thought about his apology and his offer, so he’s decided this is where he belongs. EJ says he couldn’t be happier and invites him in. EJ asks if Johnny has heard from Ava. Ava then walks up with Johnny so Johnny confirms to him that Ava is moving in too.

Update written by Joseph

Nancy is surprised and excited to run in to Mike Horton in the town square. Mike is less enthused as Nancy says it’s nice to see him again. Mike then questions if she wants to pretend that she didn’t do the things that she did. Mike tells Nancy that he’s here for Jennifer and doesn’t have time for old enemies.

Jack and Jennifer sit at home waiting for Mike. Jennifer talks about wanting to get to rehab and start over again. Jack understands and says he’s packed all of their things for her. Jack tells Jennifer that he’s going with her but she says she doesn’t want him to.

Leo tells Gwen on the phone that he gets now that Jack is nobody’s sugar daddy. Leo complains about having nobody to pay for his pesky legal bills as Craig then approaches. Leo hangs up and tells Craig that he’s glad he ran in to him because he owes him an apology.

Brady brings Rachel in to Chloe’s room at the Salem Inn where Chloe has set up a tea party for her. Chloe says she made her favorites but Rachel says she hates it and throws a piece of food at Chloe.

Rex and John talk at the hospital. John talks about Marlena losing her appetite. Rex talks about how there hasn’t been one case of the disease that Roman had 25 years ago since then. They talk about how the only cure was from the orchid in the amazon jungle. John then announces that he and Steve are flying down there this afternoon but Rex tells him to cancel that flight.

Kristen visits Marlena in the hospital.

Leo apologizes to Craig for accusing him of murder. Leo offers to buy him a beer. Craig recalls Leo always ordering champagne when he was paying the bill. Leo insists on Craig having a beer with him which he agrees to.

Nancy apologizes to Mike if he still thinks of her as his enemy. Mike responds that he hasn’t thought of her in years, but she did pop in his head about 30 minutes ago because he was looking at Abigail’s grave and thinking about the man that put her there which led to thinking of Nancy. Mike brings up how Nancy was Craig’s partner in crime. Mike asks if Nancy and Clyde were in on this together.

Brady tells Rachel that she was way out of line. Rachel doesn’t care and doesn’t want to have a tea party with Chloe. Rachel complains that she hates Chloe because she’s the reason she can’t see her mom.

Marlena questions what Kristen is doing here. Kristen responds that she came to see how she was doing since John blurted out in court that she might be dying. Kristen claims she was concerned. Marlena says it was thoughtful of her to come by but she’s fine and alive. Kristen says it boggles her mind that Orpheus did this to her with the illness that Roman had 25 years ago. Marlena questions how she knew about that.

John asks Rex why they would cancel their flight and insists he and Steve are going to get the orchid in person. Rex is afraid he has some bad news. John argues that it cured Roman. Rex then reveals that the orchid no longer exists.

Jack questions Jennifer not wanting him to go with her. Jennifer doesn’t think he should come now since she’ll be in the early stages of treatment and they won’t get to see each other much. Jennifer says she wants him to come eventually, depending on how long she has to be there. Jennifer reminds Jack that he has Gwen and she needs him. Jack tells Jennifer that he loves her and hugs her. Jack says even if he won’t be on the plane with her today, he will always be in her heart.

Brady tells Rachel that the judge said Kristen needs some time away before taking care of her again. Rachel complains that she can’t even see her and she knows why. Rachel then reveals a note that was in her lunchbox that says “It’s Chloe’s fault, your mommy can’t see you.”

Marlena tells Kristen that no one knows the details of this illness and the doctors are still trying to figure it out. Marlena questions how Kristen found out. Kristen thinks back to Dr. Rolf telling her but then claims that she just overheard doctors at the nurse’s station. Kristen doesn’t understand why it’s such a secret. Kristen remarks that it must be a relief to know what’s wrong so now they can cure her. Marlena responds that’s as long as they can find the orchid.

John tells Rex that if the orchid is gone, he knows Dr. Rolf doesn’t throw anything away especially a life saving cure. John believes if they find Dr. Rolf, they can get the cure from him. Rex mentions that Dr. Rolf was pardoned but they have no idea where he could be. John responds that he can think of someone who does.

Jennifer wonders what’s keeping Mike. Jack encourages that there is still time. Jennifer thinks that she should’ve gone to rehab the first time she started taking pills. Jack points out that she did get off of them. Jennifer said she was going to meetings then and she had her mom, who was her rock and always there for her, but now she’s gone. Jennifer cries that she doesn’t want to let Abigail down. Jack feels too much has been asked of her. Jack says that Gwen put Jennifer and Abigail through Hell and then when they thought it was over and things would be normal, they lost Abigail. Jack doesn’t think Jennifer should judge herself for things she did when her world fell apart. Jack declares that now they are going to put that world back together because that’s what they always do. Jack hugs her as she cries.

Kristen tells Marlena that it’s too bad John and Steve have to go all the way to South America to find another orchid. Kristen then thinks back to Dr. Rolf showing her that he has the cure. Marlena says she has faith in John and Steve finding the flower to make the medicine that cures them all. Kristen calls it good that she sounds confident. Marlena tells her that she’s tired. Kristen claims she just wanted to come by to wish her well. Marlena calls that new. Kristen knows they’ve had their differences. Marlena says that would be a colossal understatement. Marlena reminds Kristen that she was leaving. Kristen hoped that Marlena could do her a favor before she leaves.

Rex and John talk about Kristen getting Dr. Rolf pardoned so she must know where he is. John notes that Kristen won’t tell him anything but someone else might. John brings up that Stefan DiMera has been going around town telling everyone that Dr. Rolf brought him back from the dead which Rex questions. John explains that Dr. Rolf apparently kept Stefan on ice in one of his labs, so he bet he could tell them where to find him.

Dr. Rolf comments on John seeming so stressed and brings up Marlena, Kayla, and Kate being on death’s door. Dr. Rolf wonders how Orpheus got access to those rare pathogens. Rex says they are only interested in finding a cure. Dr. Rolf recalls something about an orchid. Rex tells him that orchid is now extinct which makes Dr. Rolf their only hope. Dr. Rolf laughs at that and calls it a miserable position to find themselves in. Rex asks if he has access to the orchid and offers to pay for it. Dr. Rolf thinks back to having it but then claims to them that he doesn’t think he can help them.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh my God. Mike. Mike Carton. Yeah. Yeah, it’s me. All right. Oh, you’re back in Salem. Always did have a keen grasp, the obvious, Nancy. Oh, um, well, um, I’m nice to see you again. Really? Do you have amnesia or. No, I, I just meant that you just meant that you want me to pretend that you didn’t do the things you did.

Is that it? Well, don’t you worry, I’m here for Jennifer. I really don’t have time for old enemies.

You’re drumming your fingers again. Oh, sorry. I just wish Mike would get here. Now that I’ve decided to go to rehab, I just wanna get there and just wanna go start all over again. I understand. I do like, I I, I packed up all of our, our books and tablets and everything and maybe you want to just check everything that I packed for you, make sure that I, I got it all.

You, you packed up our books. Well, yes, cuz we’re. Start all over again together. I’m going with you. No, Jack, I I don’t want you to. I get it now. Okay. Jack Dev is nobody’s sugar daddy. Now I’m left with all these pesky legal bills. I’ve got nobody to pay them.

I’ve gotta go. Go.

Yeah, Craig. Glad I ran into you. Really drives that. I guess I sort of owe you an apology.

Oh my look. Oh my gosh. It looks like sage is here for a high tea. He wants pocket right there. A lady. Go ahead. This is nice.

Wow. And look, we have some nice hot crumpets. Oh, crumpets are my favorite. And I remember your favorite flavor is strawberry. Mm-hmm. no one isn’t. I hate it and I don’t want that one either.

Hey, I’m, uh, I’m glad you went out. Got some fresh air docs losing her appetite. I thought maybe I could try to tempt her with a shake from buddies. Have you come up with anything yet? I thought there might be some medical advances made in the past 25 years. Has my dad had this, but, Talk about a rare disease.

There hasn’t been one single case since then and the only known treatment is the one that saved my dad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The serum that Dr. Roth made from the very rare organ in the Amazon jungle. That’s why Steve and I are flying down there this afternoon. Yeah. I um, I’m sorry to tell you this, but I would cancel your flight.

Hello, Marlena.

Like sand through the hour. So are the days of

I look for an appropriate greeting card, but there were none for, Sorry, I accused you of murder. It’s funny. I thought they were right next to the, Sorry. I’m a gold Digging big in MIS card. I had that coming. Mm. Did least summing buy you a beer? What I, I just remembered when I was footing the bill, you’d always order champagne.

Lots and lots of champagne. Well, I’ve embraced the beer and ramen lifestyle. It’s very freeing. Come have a beer with me. What’s the. Sure. I’m about to find out.

Um, I am sorry, Mike, that you still think of me as, as your enemy. Actually, I haven’t thought anything about you in years. Thank God. You know, it’s funny just now, maybe 30 minutes ago you kind of popped into my head and now here we are face to face. Freaky, Huh? You thought about me? Yeah. I was looking at Abigail’s grave, thinking about the man who put her there, which led of course, to thinking about you.

And then I was reminded about something from the past, how you were Craig Wesley’s partner in Crown, his lady Mcbe. This. What about it, Nancy, you and Clyde West and on this together,

Rachel, that was way out of line and you know it. I don’t care. I don’t wanna have a tea party. Not with her, her sweetie. Her name is Chloe. Okay. You will apologize to her right now. No, I won’t. She’s the mommy.

What are you doing here? Well, I came to see how you were doing. John said you might be dying. With, He didn’t tell me directly. He blurted it out in court and I was concerned, obviously thoughtful of you to come by, but I’m, I’m fine. I’m alive anyway. You’re looking as lovely as ever. Ah, you know, it boggles my mind that Oria did this to.

Gave you this terrible illness Roman suffered from 25 years ago. How did you know about that?

Why the hell would we want to cancel our flight? Steve and I are going down to the Amazon to find that. Or we could. Im Percy. I, I’m afraid I have some bad news. What could be bad news? You said yourself to serum cured your dad. He had the same disease that Doc has now. Yes, the orchid can produce secure, however, That orchid no longer exists.

You don’t want me to go with you? No, I mean, I just, I I’m just saying that you shouldn’t come now because I’ll be in the early stages of, of treatment and, you know, we wouldn’t really get to see much of each other. And of course I want you to come eventually, depending on how, how long I have to be there.

And if you have, when. You have Quinn and she needs you.

I love you. I love you. I know, I know. Do know. I mean, I, I couldn’t, I couldn’t do this if I didn’t know that,

even though I won’t be on that plane with you today. And we’ll be with you

right to here. Always.

Honey, we’ve talked about this. The judge said that your mommy needs to take some time away before she takes care of you again, but I can’t even see her and I know. This was my lunch box.

It’s Chloe’s fault. Your mommy can’t see you.

No one knows details of this illness except the doctors and our family. How did you find out? You’re saying that these women have the same illness that Roman did 25 years ago? That is precisely what I am saying, and if anything happens to them, I could be blamed. Since obvious stores are toxin from me.

Well, I overheard some of the doctors talking at the nurses station. I really don’t understand why it’s such a state secret. Must be a relief to know what’s wrong with you. Hmm. At least now they can cure you. Right? As long as they can still find the achi.

Okay. Maybe that orchid is gone is 16, but I know for a fact that Dr. Roth is not the kind of person that ever throws anything away, let alone a life saving Kiel. If we can find him, it’s possible that we could get the cure from him. Right. Okay. Well, Dr. Ralph was pardoned, but we have no idea where he could be.

No, no, no. But I could think of someone who does.

I wonder what’s giving Mike. There’s still plenty of time. You know what I think? I think I should have gone to rehab the first time I started taking these damn. You did get off them. Yeah, but I was going to meetings then and, and I had my mom, she was a rock, you know, She was always there for me.

Now she’s gone and

I don’t wanna let Akale Town. Damn Jennifer sweetheart. Too much has been asked of you.

Maybe I shouldn’t say this, but Gwen put you and Abigail through hell and then when we thought it was over, finally, finally everything was gonna be normal. We,

we lost our precious score.

I don’t think you should judge yourself for things you did when your world fell apart

and now we’re gonna put that world back together together.

Because that’s what we always do.

Well, it’s too bad John and Steve have to go all the way to South America to find another orchid.

What is that? It is the key to bringing three women from the Bri of death, Kate Roberts, Kayla Johnson, and Elena Evans. This can save their lives. I have faith in them. I know they’ll, I find the flower and grapes will be able to, to make the medicine that will carry us all. You sound confident. That’s good.

Kristen, I’m tired. Oh, yes, of course. I just wanted to come by. I wish she will. Wow, that’s new. Okay. I know we had our differences. , just to say that’s an understatement. Would. Would be a colossal understate. I, I know, I know. Kristen, where you leaving? Yes, but I was hoping, hoping, hoping what I always ing You could give me a favorite before I.

Kristen. Kristen got Ralph. Pardon? She knows where he is. Yeah, I’m sure she does. She’s not gonna tell me anything, but I’m thinking of someone else who may though Stephan Damir has been going around town telling everybody that Dr has brought him back from the dead. Come again. Apparently Dr. Roth kept Stephan on ice in one of his labs and I’ll betcha.

He’s got information that we can go on. Okay? Okay. Take Marlena, her shake. I’m gonna track down step and see what he can tell us.

Mike, I, um, can expect to have you change how you feel about me, but I swear I had no idea that Clyde did the things that he did when I, um, first met him. I wasn’t in great shape. I only saw what I wanted to see and I didn’t listen to the chorus of voices who were telling me exactly who he was and, um, I was, and not for the first time in my life.

Fool, thanks for sharing. Look, if you want me to pay for the things that I’ve. Rest assured I have paid and I am paying it. It’s not every day that you wake up and get punched in the face with the fact that your entire life has, has been nothing but life. So this apology, Hmm. Well, in the first place, I really did believe you were the one who framed me.

And at the same time, I was so desperate to pin the crime on someone else. So, um, this justifies you actually accusing me of a murder I didn’t commit. Well, you actually thought I did it. Well, sometimes I think outside the box and in retrospect I see that I may have indulged. Yes. I gotta hear. I convinced myself you were so devastated, shattered, really over losing me that you had a psychotic break.

Losing you. Leo, I dumped you. Well, don’t nitpick over everything I’m saying. I’m trying to apologize. Yes. Well, I see you are not familiar with the concept, but an apology for the record usually contains the words. I’m sorry. Okay.

I’m sorry. That I doubted the man I loved love. I’m sorry, I thought you were capable of doing this.

Did you hear what I said? I still love you, and I don’t think you would’ve come in here and talked to me if you didn’t. I still have feelings for me too.

You.

Yeah, he was the first man I ever fell in love with and what we had together will always be special to me in its way. The thing is, oh, I always hate what comes after. The thing is, I was outside and heard you on the phone with Gwen. I know what you said to her.

Wow.

I had no idea. That’s why you and Craig split because he is gay. You can say the word Mike. I, I know. I can fact, when I was a teenager, there was a time when I thought maybe I was gay, but I’m not that, uh, Fact, then I was terrified of the thought of it. I think God times have changed. Amen. Did that you two were together a long time.

Must have been a pretty rough breakup. Huh? How you doing? Well, at first, um, it was pretty angry. I was only just looking for a way to make Craig pay for what he had done to me. . But, um, you know, now our whole relationship has, uh, has changed. I just want him to be happy and I know that he wants the same for me.

That’s good. It’s what we all serve. Yes, we do.

Well, uh, I better be getting over to Jennifer’s. Oh. How long are you staying? I’m not, um, heading back to New York this afternoon. I thought you lived in Boston. New job, New City. I’m still. What a feel my way out there. Oh, well I’m going back to New York too, so, Um, Well, if you need to find a bookstore or good coffee place, uh, dry cleaners.

Oh, and Bulgogi. I love Bo Gogi. Oh, well, Mike, do I have a place for use? Well, let’s do it then. Huh?

Let’s now. That’s a contraction for let us, isn’t it? Yes, it is. Yeah. Staff put your number in. We’ll make a date.

I look forward to it like.

Was good talking to you, Nancy. It was good talking to you too, Mike.

Okay. Uh, who put this in your lunchbox, honey? I don’t know, but I know it’s true. No, listen, listen to me. Clo Chloe here. It’s nothing to Rachel. Come here.

Wow. . Kristen is not gonna stop. Is she, That, that note’s just a shot over the bow. She has no regard for, for, for what she’s doing to her own daughter, what she’s putting her through. No, she doesn’t. And you’re right in the middle of it. I am. So She should not have talked to you. I’m sorry she spoke to you that way.

It’s okay. Listen, I understand there was a long time where I talked to everyone like that because I was young. Was angry and lost, but I think we just, we have to face the fact that Rachel hates me and there’s nothing we can do about it.

I didn’t think that anything or anyone could make me laugh. Right. Well, but you were thinking that maybe I could do you a favor. I’m glad I could cheer you up. My Lena. You know, to say that you were self-absorbed would be like, I don’t know, saying the Titanic had taken on a little bit of water. Okay. I am not self-absorbed.

I’m just thinking of Rachel. And I don’t think it’s good idea for her to be totally cut off from her own mother. That is exactly what Brady is doing, and he would listen to you. So if you please tell him Brady has full custody, and Brady will decide what is best for that child. So you won’t help me help you.

I thought this was about Rachel.

Hmm. Well, I will leave you be good luck with the orchid hunting. It would be a shame to the people you love if you were to die.

You heard what I said to Gwen? Yeah. Something about needing to pay your legal fees and Jack Deo being a sure. Daddy, I, I can explain. No, no, no, no. I don’t wanna hear it. I don’t wanna tell it, but I will. I’m drowning in legal fees and I tried to blackmail Jack Male. Mm-hmm. over. Why? Uh, it’s a personal matter all sort of blew up in my face.

Oh my God, you, so you still need to pay off your bills. And you, I’m looking for your sugar. Daddy, you, you want me to be your sugar daddy now? Is that it?

You didn’t have to come all this way. Hey, you’re my sister. Of course I did. Hey Mike. Thanks for everything. Oh, it’s fine. Jen. I checked out this place. Everybody I talked to says they do really didn work. Oh, that’s good. The works really though up to me, isn’t it? Yeah. And I have all the faith in the world in you.

Lucky, you’ve admitted you need help. That’s the hardest part. It’s all that help from here,

Chloe. Rachel. I hate you. She’s just going through a hard time and she’s ticking it out on you. I know. I’m not, I’m not worried about me. It’s, listen us the both of us, We have to do what Kristen’s not doing, which is thinking about what Rachel’s going through from her point of view. I al, I know that I said that I wasn’t gonna let Kristen use Rachel as a wedge between us.

I know, but you cannot stop her from trying and it’s only gonna be difficult for Rachel. I think I should take her to Nora James. Yeah, I think that might be a good idea. Yeah. Are you sure you’re okay? Yes, of course. Yes. I’m okay. I, I love that you’re such an amazing dad, so please don’t worry about me. Go take care of your little girl again.

We’re gonna get through this. I know.

Stephen, thank you for taking my call. Look, I’m wondering if you could help me. I’m trying to track down Dr. It’s a matter of life and death.

Oh. Oh. I must have do off. I’m sorry. No, no, no, no. That’s a good thing, sweetheart. How you doing honey? I’m better now that you’re here. Hey. Hey.

Does a coffee milkshake sound good to you right now?

Maybe a little later. Okay. So I had a visitor, Kristen Damara, she. Why she, um, wanted a favor. She wanted me to talk to Brady about Rachel’s custody. Oh, what a bitch. I don’t think that was the only, the only reason she was here. I think she wanted to make sure that I was a death store. Knowing your doc. In fact, Steve and I were, we’re working on a cure right now, and nothing’s gonna stop us.

In fact, I was just, I was just talking to Rex outside of,

Hmm. This is just so disheartening. You think I wanna get back together with you because I’m broke? Yes. That’s exactly what I think. You know. Oh my. You use my wealth to pay your bills off so you don’t have to, Oh, I don’t know. Get a job. It work. Save money. Stop taking Cosmos in the middle of the morning.

Oh, you hate me. No. Oh, please. That. It might be so much easier. You own personal Pied Piper. I just wanna follow you everywhere you go and clean up your messes and pay your bills because you can be more fun than anyone I’ve ever met.

That’s not enough. No, I mean, Nancy was my safety. You, you’re like this. I just dance the edge of a.

But I need more and I need someone who’s right in the middle.

I can’t expect you to understand that.

Actually, I kind of do.

Oh, hi. Is this a bad time? Uh, not if you’re in the mood for tea. Oh. Oh, What’s that? Oh, it’s your birthday present. I’m so sorry. With everything going on, it sort of got away from me. Don’t worry about it. Come in. Oh, this is a, a tea party for three. Uh, should I, uh, go? Yeah, I should have called first. No, uh, it’s okay.

The, the tea party’s over. Oh, well, what happened? Well, let’s just say that, um, Kristen doesn’t even have to be in the same room to just blow everything up. What’d she do now? She freaked out that Brady got full of custody of Rachel and she started a full on gorilla warfare. Well, that decides it then.

Besides what? Well, obviously I was going back to New York, but I can’t go now. I mean, you need me here?

I brought you a sc. Hmm. Oh darling. Yeah. Maybe later. Where’s that? He and Steve are trying to track down the cure.

Should I leave? I mean, I You must be tired. No, not, I don’t wanna honey up. I wanna tell you something.

Kristen came to see me. What? What she wanted to talk to me about. Well, outrageous custody.

Talk to Mylan. I, I know that it would probably be best if I tried to work something out with her, but right now, I, I, I told her no. Good, good. Because more than ever right now, I feel like I need to keep Rachel away from our, What has she done now?

So, hello, Dr. Roth, Mr. Black and Dr. Brady, my former protege. What can I do for you, gentlemen? We need your help.

Craig. Hmm. Would it be okay if I look you up? If I ever make it back to New York? Sure. Why not? And if I un unfollow you on social media, it is the best way to keep in touch. Mm-hmm. , I, um, yeah, sure. Find him. I’d like to see what you’re up to and who knows, Maybe someday when I’m rich and famous in my own.

I’ll sweep you off your feet, but in the meantime,

get your wallet.

I’ll get you next time, I promise. Oh, I’m sure you will. All right, Leo.

Take care. Mm.

Okay. That was really hard. Julie was trying. So hard not to cry, and Doug was squeezing her hand, Oh sweetheart, I’ll take good care of them while you’re gone. As hard as it as it was to say goodbye to them, check, Hey, hey,

this isn’t goodbye. We both know that

this is, See you.

Okay. Okay. Ready? Mike? Okay. Okay.

Oh mom, I love this. Thank you. You’re welcome. I found it at this little boutique. I’ll have to take you. They have the cutest things that are what? You have to go back to New York. No, sweetheart, I can’t do that. Not with Kristen out to get you, Mom. There’s nothing you can do to help me with Kristen. The only thing you’ll do here is worry about me, and I hate that.

So you gotta go back to New York, to your city, to your life with me and the world to me. If all the bad things that have happened recently won’t stop you, because my mother’s always been an unstoppable force of nature. And I want that mom back. Are you sure? I’m sure. Okay. Mike darling, girl, I’ll go then, but I want you to come see me real soon, okay?

Of course I will. I love, But you know what? You better call first. Just might have plans.

honey, just to be on the safe side. I want you to document everything that Kristen does. I mean, keep a journal just in case she tries to take you back to bed. I don’t want you worrying about me right now. I don’t want you worrying about Rachel. I want you worrying about one thing and. That’s, that’s you. I want you to take care of yourself, and I know dad is gonna get you whatever the heck it is that you need.

There’s not a doubt in my mind, Navon, you seemed so stressed when you came in, talked to Evans, Dr. Johnson and Ms. Roberts all at this store, and you save us Orpheus, who gave him the toxin? That’s a. I wonder guy who could have gotten access to those rare pathogens. I know what a mystery. Look, we’re not interested in how he got them.

We’re just interested in finding a cure. I seem to report something about an oil kid. That’s right. That’s what you used last time. Unfortunately, that species of orchid is now extinct, which makes you our only hope. I am your only hope

but a miserable position to find yourself in. No. You think this? Okay. Look, do you have access to the orchid or the drug you developed will pay handsomely for it. I know your research isn’t cheap.

No, I’m sorry. As much as I’d like to, I don’t think I can help you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Chloe honey, I’m telling you, you feel much better this morning. Yes.

A decent night sleeps made me realize how lucky I am to, um, to be done with Clyde honey. Yes. I love you too. Yes. Okay. I’ll talk to you soon. Okay.

Oh, thank God. No one can see your mother now. How ridiculous to I look. Let’s just.

You, Laura, Wonderful, wise woman. We miss you

so much.

Thank you darling. For suggesting we stop by here after we left the flowers on Abigail’s last resting place. That’s still so hard to say, isn’t it? The Horton family has had so much loss in such a short time. Two beautiful women still so much to live for. I suppose there is some comfort in knowing that Clive Weston is going to rot in prison for what he did to have a gal,

but I’m guessing I’m going to have to wait until the roll is called up yonder to see Gwen Rez check fee forbidden entry through the pearl gates for what she did. Laura.

Jennifer, what brings you by come to finish me off.

Ooh, you look a bit like a deer caught in headlights. Is that how I looked? Just before you pressed the gas pedal down to the floor?

That’s right. I remember who was behind the wheel of the car, who hit me, person who tore into me and left me there for dead. That was you.

I don’t know where you get your information from. I think you newspaper boys like to call it a primary source. See, Gwenny told me that Jenny was behind the wheel of the car that ran her down. Gwen told me she didn’t see the driver. Well, I just came from her hospital room and while she was telling me this horrific story about what happened to her, her memory of everything that happened last night came rushing back to her and it wasn’t hard to make Gwen realize that Jennifer did this on purpose.

And I bet you gave it a really hard sell. Jennifer needs to make, what’s the word? Oh, I know. Restitution. And that’s going to come in the form of a check from you, that lot of zeros attached. If you wanna make this all go away, that is

like Sands through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

Look great. Please stay away from me. I, I, I didn’t come here to hurt you. I came here to tell you how very, very sorry I am for what I did to you,

okay? You really made this. Yeah, well, I’ve only read about 10,000 corporate announcements in that time. I really appreciate having you as a sounding board. I’ve been so worried about my mom that I’m finding it really hard to concentrate, and if I don’t get a handle on all of this work I have to do, I’m gonna start losing clients.

And the first one that’s going to be me.

Do you own a calendar? If you did, you’d see that the election is one month away. I know that. And do you know that my polling numbers, they’re going down? Yes. But, And that mailer that you promised would get into the hands of the voters by last weekend. Did that happen? I’m sorry. They got held up at the printers.

I was going to follow up, but, but the only butt that I want to hear about is mine and what, how you’re doing what it takes to get me behind that big old desk at the State House. Do I make myself. Crystal,

I, I’m wearing this thing on my head because I’m getting highlights. I’m Bonnie thought that a new would perk me up and Bonnie doesn’t take no for an answer. Well, I’m sure your hairs can look just beautiful. And that’s off flowers. Mm-hmm. , who are they for? Who like STAs and pink roses. I

you. You brought me flowers. Yes. Craig. Why would you bring flowers and what are you even doing here? See, I’m here because I wanting to see how you are.

Having second thoughts about trying to kill me. Oh, Quinn, No, no. It, it wasn’t deliberate. I swear I didn’t even see you, but until it was too late, you didn’t see me. You knew you hit me with your car and you still didn’t stop to help me. I don’t, I, I wish I could tell you. I left. I just don’t, I just, I just can’t, But I didn’t even remember Okay.

Until like an hour ago. And as soon as I remembered, I, I, I knew I had to see you. You’re telling me you have no memory of fleeting someone with your. No, because when I did it, when I hit you, I wasn’t in my right mind. I was, Hi,

is Gwen on board with his blackmail scheme of yours? Blackmail is such a cold, hard word. I like to think of this as a settle. You didn’t answer my question. Did Gwen authorize your being here and acting on her behalf? We had begun to discuss that possibility and we were interrupted by one of the many people providing her with very expensive medical care.

She doesn’t know you’re here. I took it upon myself to see gay resolution that benefits all parties involved. I find it very hard to believe that Gwen would prove this when she and I talked last night. Well, that was probably before your wife tried to turn her into a hood ornament. That is not what happened.

It was a hideous act with malicious intent. It was an accident,

but darling remember, That Gwen told us Laura’s death was an accident. Gwen is a liar. Darling, when I think of what Jennifer is going through, when I think of what, what the hell her mother could have been to her, I just swear I could throw things.

Laura meant so much to those people who loved her through her words were never spoken.

So, um, how did you even know that I was here? Bonnie called me. and she told me you were here. I’m glad she did. I’m, I’m relieved. And then she also asked me drop by. So that’s why you’re here, Nancy. I am here because Bonnie thought you needed another friend to talk to besides her.

I still am your friend, aren’t I?

Honestly, I’m not sure.

I want you to get those mailers out by today and I want you to set up a press conference, the kind that makes me national news. And if this doesn’t happen by the end of business today, then I’m going to have to, Okay. Stephanie’s not gonna say anything, so I will. Her mother’s in the hospital right now, so maybe you could cut her a break.

Oh. I’m very sorry to to hear that, but Oh, if you, you can’t do the job, Stephanie, then why are you not delegating someone else in your firm? And you could have at least informed me that you are dealing with a family emergency. Mr. Price, if you could just look, if you will just kindly stay out of this young man.

This is between me and Ms. Johnson, Chad. It’s okay. Really, you’re absolutely right. Ms. Price. I should have delegated and I should have told you about my. I’m sorry I dropped the ball on those mailers. I will have those out today and then I will start working on the press conference. That’s just what I wanted to hear.

And look, um, I’m sorry for laying into you like that.

I’m truly, I’m, I’m truly sorry to hear that your mom’s in the hospital. I’m praying four. I appreciate that. I will call you later to let you know when those mailers have. Thank you. Thank you. The, oh, you know, speaking of delegating, why don’t you let your assistant here pick up some slack. He’s not my assistant.

This is my friend Chad Damara. Chad Damara. Oh, good Lord. I came with a head of steam and didn’t take the time to find out who you were. Uh, Mr. Damara, uh, you, you have my sympathies. You know about what happened, Their poor wife. Such a terrible tragedy.

My wife and I buried our daughter a few weeks ago. We’re doing our best to help take care of her two young children. I know you’ve been through a lot and I’m sure you’re worried sick about Gwen, which is why it would be awful for you to lose your wife. What the hell is that supposed to be? Well, you called what happened to Gwen in accident by which you’re admitting your wife’s liability.

Did she confess? No. I was speaking hypothetically. If Jennifer had done something like that to another person, it would not have been intentional. The point is that it happened and now you know about it. What’s your cut of this settlement that you’re pushing?

You. You know, you’re not the only one who’s had a rough couple of months. I was wrongfully accused of killing poor Abigail. I had to hire a lawyer who’s now threatening to take me to court. Why don’t we just keep it easy? You can write a check for say a million books. I can’t do that. Oh dear. And I guess I’ll have to alert the police folks at the intruder and tell them about Jennifer.

Accident. What I mean is I don’t have a million dollars in my personal checking account. I’ll have to go to the bank for that after a transfer’s been made. I’ll arrange to meet you somewhere. I’ll wait right here to complete our transaction.

You’re doing the right thing, Jack, for your wife, for your family.

Michael Forten. Oh, you’re a sight for fries. We have missed you so much, Michael. Oh, I missed you too, so much. Nah, now I know. I’ll see you later at the house, but I. To come here and pay my respects to Mom and Abigail and, uh, so we’re all doing here, I assume. Of course, of course. Does your sister know you’re here or is this a surprise?

No, no surprise. In fact, I’m here because she needs me. Jennifer asked for my help.

Those pills I caught you.

You got high and then you got in your car. Why? I don’t know. I wasn’t in my right mind. I was, I was hallucinating that Abigail was in the car with me. I, it, it was an accident, I swear. And I am. So, so sorry. You didn’t come here to say you’re sorry you came here to save your ass. No, no. Yes. You say that you sped up, you know that you hit me, but it doesn’t matter though.

Right? So you didn’t know it was me. I didn’t know I, I hit the gas pedal. I thought I hit the brake, you know. The last conversation we had before the, um, accident, as you like to call it, wasn’t a very friendly one, was it? If I recall, you told me that if I went to Jack and told him that you were using that, I would be very sorry.

That sounded like a threat to me. But, but, but when I hit you, I, I didn’t know that you told Jack, but, but, but now that he knows, and, and I’m no longer in denial. I’m, I am. I’m glad that you told him because I need help and now I’m going, I’m gonna get it. Yeah. I know, I’ve heard this all before from my dear old mom.

I was stoned, so you have to forgive me. But now I’ve, I’ve seen the light and I’m gonna stop this. I’m gonna quit. I’m gonna come clean. You’ll see, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know what I’ve learned about addicts, though They are very, very, very cunning. And they lie.

You’re right, you’re right. I’m, I’m, I’ve said those same things to the people that I love.

I mean, there’s no reason in the world that you should believe. A word I say,

You, you, you did the right thing telling Jack about me. Now I’m gonna do the right thing too. What was that? I’ve just decided I’m going to the police station and I’m gonna turn myself in.

Jennifer called me, told me she started abusing painkillers again. She said, You knew about it. We do now. We didn’t for quite a while. I decided a phone conversation wasn’t enough. She’s my kid’s sister. Her life’s a mess. So here I am, Jen asked me to arrange to get her into rehab. Well bless you for that.

Oh, I am so relieved that she’ll be getting help. She also told me how much your love and support meant to her. Oh man. You’d know, you know we’d do anything for you. And Jennifer Rose Laura’s two wonderful kids. She was always so proud of you both as are we. Well, gentlemen, why don’t we all go home and I’ll fix this A nice lunch.

Okay. Actually, I’ll meet you. It’s, uh, it’s been a while since, since I spent some time with mom.

Look, I have to go to the police now, or I might lose my nerve. I’m, I’m so terribly, terribly sorry for everything.

What about your addiction? Don’t you want to get clean? I’m sure they have programs in prison. Yeah, I’ve been to prison. You wouldn’t last a week there. I’m stronger than you think. Don’t turn yourself in.

Isn’t that what you want? I thought it.

But I look at you now, I, I can see how much you’ve suffered. You’ve done your penance. Your mother died suddenly, and your daughter was brutally murdered. It’s no wonder why you turned to something to stop the pain. Because I did that. I almost killed you. If he didn’t, I’m here now. What are you saying,

Jennifer?

I mean, that’s just as much a surprise to me as I’m sure it is to.

I wish someone would’ve told my mom they cared about her. Someone like Jack. It was just she and I when we were growing up and I was so needy. I wasn’t up for the job. Well, I’m up front now.

Don’t go to the police. I’m, I’m gonna tell them that I have no idea who hit me.

Jennifer and Jack are old friends of AVEs. We had ’em over for dinner. I could see how much they’re suffering. I can only imagine what it’s been like for you and your children. Oh, thank goodness. The police finally got the best. Who. That’s a relief. I couldn’t believe that our current governor turned that gang of violent criminals loose.

You have my word. That won’t happen on my watch.

I just had an idea. Uh, maybe you could convince Chad to join my election committee. He’s run a major corporation. His experience could be a big. If we need extra help for the big push to the election, I will hire enough staff to get the job done. Well, okay, your call, well, I’ll leave you two to your business and you tell your mama get well soon so she can get to the poll and place and vote for price.

welcome to my world.

Why would you cover for me?

Well, I have two reasons. First one is my mom,

I want to see you do what she never managed to do.

And the other reason,

Well, after everything that I’ve done to your family, you still allowed me to be part of Jack’s life. I know you didn’t do that for me. You did that because you love him and you want him to be happy. I feel the same way about him and I can see that his heart is. Completely broken after he lost Abigail.

I can’t take you away from him too. He would absolutely destroy him. I won’t let that happen. You won’t love what happened,

darling. You go on up. I’ll fix you a cup of tea and some of grams donuts.

Jennifer are, are the kids in here?

You? Yep. Me. You take your feet off that table and turn off that television set. Yummy donuts.

Well, and see, I am, I’m sorry that you don’t think we can still be friends.

Uh, let me stop. No, wait,

I’m, I’m sorry. What I meant was, Craig, I don’t think a good friend would’ve rated her fiance a around and waved her engagement ring under the nose of a friend who had just had his heart broken. I know why you did that. Nancy, I hurt you. I, I lied to you. I cheated on you as Leo and I made you feel like nobody wanted you, and well, you wanted me to know that somebody did

like, said that he did love me. He said that I was good for him. The only problem was I wasn’t good enough to keep him from doing all the terrible things that he did it. Nancy , I know from experience you can’t love a man and change his nature no matter how much I know that now too. Anyway, um, Thank you for coming by to check on me and see how I am.

And thank you for the flowers.

You were one of the first people who came by and held my hand when Leo broke my heart. I, I just wanted to return the favor.

I, I just had the craziest thought.

Yeah. See that can read your mind. You’re thinking, what if we get back together? What if we did?

I, um, I know that it wouldn’t be a romantic relationship, but there’s more about being together than just sex, right? We know each other better than anybody else. We’ve seen each other at our best and our worst. You will. Never be anything but beautiful and Nancy. We care for each other and we know how to take care of each other.

When, um, it would be so much safer than being with somebody new

and we wouldn’t have to risk putting our hearts back out there and having them broken again. It just wouldn’t be the. A romantic ending that we’ve both dreamed about now,

but it would be pretty damn nice.

Hey, what are you doing in this house? I smelled donuts when I couldn’t resist. I made these donuts for my husband. And Zippy. The clown wants his shows back. Are you saying I have big feet? Are you commenting on my choice of footwear? You still haven’t told me what you’re doing in the house. It’s cool. Jack knows I’m here.

Oh fine. It’s not cool with me. I know who you are. I know who you are too. You Abigail’s second grandmother Once. Oh wait. Or are you her second cousin twice removed the family trees in this town? Get a little inbred. But if you know who I am, it’s probably because you saw me on the news. And then you also know that I didn’t kill Abigail.

No, no. You’re just the guy that broke into her bedroom and cried. Open her jewelry case to get what was inside and left behind the knife that killed our, Okay. Well what? Enough about me. Let’s talk about what Jennifer did.

Leo came to see you. He didn’t tell me he was going to do that.

He said You’d remembered the accident and he’s demanding a million dollars in exchange for your silence. He didn’t. He did. So you know what I did? Yeah. Leo made sure. I blacked out last night. I wasn’t trying to keep it from you. I blacked out and I, I just remembered it this morning and, and, and once I did, I came straight here.

I believe Jennifer, it was an accident. I’m gonna tell the police that I, I don’t remember what happened to me. Then Leo will go to the police and tell them his version. Like he wasn’t there and without me. He’s got nothing. Don’t you give him a penny?

Why are you doing this?

Because she’s your daughter and she loves you.

I have your word. Those mailers will be at campaign headquarters in an hour. Okay, good. I will let the staff know to expect. Now I just have to set up a press conference that will put Paulina on the map. You should take a break and call the hospital. See if there’s any news on your mom. I will do that, but I have to get Paulina calmed down first.

She’s unbelievable, huh? She’s a force of nature, but I do like her. I’m sorry if I shot my mouth off when she was here. I’m sorry. She thought you were my assistant. Well, I am unemployed, so she’s got a point. Don’t tell me you’re hurting from. No, but I, uh, I do need to keep busy and you need to hire more people.

So why not hire me?

What’s that smile for? Are you, uh, reading my mind again? You think that that thing on your head is gonna keep me out? That. I guess you know that I’m thinking as nice as it sounds right now, the thought of giving up on romances something we both don’t wanna do. No, we don’t. We both deserve a chance at real love again.

Mm.

Nancy, Nancy Miller, you have always been by friend. I want you to have that happy ever after, and I want that for you. So I tell you what we’re gonna say goodbye. We’re gonna see each other. We’re gonna hang out now and then, and have a good time. Maybe even go seeing some needle diamond karaoke, anything.

But you don’t bring me flowers. Cause that would never be you.

Is your husband enjoying his donuts? Was that nutmeg I tasted in there? It is my grandmother’s secret recipe. And none of your business, what was the meaning of that crack about Jennifer? I’ve decided I can’t divulge that attorney client privilege. Oh, you’re a lawyer. Like I’m a nuclear physicist. No, no.

You tell me about that cracker. I’m gonna take my rolling pin and hit you up the side of the head. Uh, Jack, this twit friend of yours said he got in the house with your permission. He did, but he’ll be leaving soon. Well fine. You deal with them.

I assume you meant I will be leaving with a big fat check. I’m afraid not. I just came from Gwen’s hospital room. You lied about going to the bank. No need Gwen, and I manage to settle this whole matter without you. What does that mean? That the only person who’s a eyewitness to the accident is Gwen, and she is not gonna say a word about who hit her when it happened, so get the hell outta here.

Now can I at least get the old ladies’ donut recipe first? Alright,

so you really wanna help me, huh? Put Paulina behind the big old desk in a state. Well, I need to focus on something outside of myself, and this is only for about month, so I won’t be shortchanging my kids. And honestly, I believe that probably enter price is the best choice for governor. So yeah, it’s really going to be hectic.

Well, if I suck at it, which you won’t, I’m giving you my permission to fire me. What do you say? I say welcome to S J P R.

Good. I was afraid Leo would still be here. No, I made sure work event, so now I’m free. To focus on you. Check. It was incredibly gracious of Gwen to cover for me and let this go. I am so, so, so sorry for lying to you about the pills for, for getting behind the wheel. The car when I knew I was wasting, you already lost one daughter and I could have, I could have killed your other.

Can you ever forgive me? Don’t Please don’t. Don’t even, don’t talk like that.

How many times have you forgiven me?

I am so sorry. You were suffering with all of this alone and I never.

I guess I’m just guess this is what they call hitting bottom

check. What do I do now?

Whatever it is, you won’t be doing it alone.

I’m sorry. Go. I assumed you’d want me to make the most out of this opportunity. Well, you assumed wrong. You bloody little tosser. I thought I was doing this for both of us. You know how I feel about Jack. He was furious when he came into my room. You could scotch my relationship with him for good. I get it now.

Okay. Jack de is nobody’s sugar daddy. Now I’m left with all these pesky legal bills. I’ve got nobody to pay for them.

I’m gonna be staying with Doug and Julie. Looking forward to seeing some of the people I haven’t seen in so long.

I’ll be back.

Oh my God. Mike. Mike H. Yeah. Yeah, it’s me. All right. Oh, you’re back in Salem. Always did have a keen grasp, the obvious Nancy. Oh, um, well, um, I’m nice to see you again. Really? Do you have amnesia or something?

At the Kiriakis Mansion, Nancy is on the phone with Chloe. Nancy assures that she’s fine and that a good night’s sleep helped her realize how lucky she is to be done with Clyde. Nancy says she loves her and hangs up. Nancy then looks in the mirror and complains that she looks ridiculous but is surprised when she turns around to see Craig arrive with flowers.

Doug and Julie visit Laura Horton’s grave. Julie leaves flowers and says they miss her so much. Julie thanks Doug for suggesting they stop by. Julie says the Horton family has had so much loss in such a short time. Julie supposes there is comfort in knowing that Clyde will rot in prison for what he did to Abigail but guesses she will have to wait on Gwen for what she did to Laura.

Jennifer goes to visit Gwen at the hospital. Gwen asks what brings her by and if she came to finish her off. Gwen has flashbacks to the accident and remarks that Jennifer looks like a deer in headlights. Gwen asks if that’s how she looked just before Jennifer pressed the gas pedal. Gwen informs Jennifer that she remembers it was her that ran her down and left her for dead.

Jack questions where Leo gets his information from. Leo informs him that Gwen told him that it was Jennifer. Jack notes that Gwen said she didn’t see the driver but Leo reveals that he just came from her hospital room and her memory came rushing back to her. Leo adds that it wasn’t hard to make Gwen realize that Jennifer did this on purpose. Leo declares that Jennifer needs to make restitution and that will come in the form of a check from Jack if he wants to make this all go away.

Gwen tells Jennifer to stay away from her. Jennifer says she didn’t come to hurt her, but to tell her how very sorry she is for what she did to her.

Chad helps Stephanie work outside of Julie’s Place. Stephanie acknowledges that Chad really made the press release better and says she really appreciates him as she’s been so worried about Kayla that she’s finding it hard to concentrate. Stephanie worries that if she doesn’t get a handle on all this work then she’s going to start losing clients. Paulina then appears and announces that the first one is going to be her. Chad stands and offers his seat. Paulina asks if Stephanie owns a calendar and complains that the election is a month away while her polling numbers are going down. Stephanie apologizes and tries to explain. Paulina just wants to do how she’s doing what it takes to get her behind the Governor’s desk.

Nancy tells Craig that Bonnie is helping her put highlights in her hair. Nancy questions him bringing her flowers and asks what he’s even doing here. Craig responds that he wanted to see how she is.

Gwen asks if Jennifer’s having second thoughts about trying to kill her. Jennifer swears that it wasn’t deliberate and didn’t see her until it was too late. Gwen argues that she knew she hit her and she left. Jennifer wishes she could tell her why she left but she can’t. Jennifer explains that she didn’t remember until an hour ago and as soon as she remembered, she knew she had to see her. Gwen questions Jennifer having no memory of hitting someone with her car. Jennifer confirms that she doesn’t because when she hit her, she wasn’t in her right mind as she was high.

Jack questions if Gwen is on board with Leo’s blackmail scheme. Leo calls it a settlement. Jack points out that he didn’t answer if Gwen authorized him acting on her behalf. Leo says they had begun talking about the possibility until they were interrupted by a nurse. Jack realizes Gwen doesn’t know he’s here.

Nancy asks how Craig even knew she was at the Kiriakis Mansion. Craig reveals that Bonnie called him and asked him to drop by and he’s relieved that she did. Craig explains that Bonnie thought she would need another friend to talk to. Craig asks if he is still her friend, but Nancy responds that she’s honestly not sure.

Paulina orders Stephanie to set up a press conference to make her national news by the end of the day. Chad interrupts and says Stephanie isn’t going to say anything, so he will, and that her mother is in the hospital so maybe Paulina could cut her a break. Paulina is surprised and says she’s sorry to hear that. Paulina complains that if Stephanie can’t do the job then she should be delegating the work to someone in her firm and she could have at least told her that she was dealing with a family emergency. Chad tries to explain but Paulina asks him to stay out of it. Stephanie tells Chad that it’s okay and tells Paulina that she’s right that she should’ve delegated and told her about her mom. Stephanie apologizes for dropping the ball and says she will start working on the press conference which Paulina notes is just what she wanted to hear. Paulina apologizes for laying in to her and says she’s truly sorry to hear her mother is in the hospital, so she will pray for her. Stephanie says she will call her later. Paulina suggests Stephanie delegate to her assistant but Stephanie clarifies that Chad is not her assistant and introduces him to her. Paulina then realizes who he is and apologizes as she sends her sympathy for what happened to Abigail which she calls a terrible tragedy.

Jack tells Leo that he and his wife buried their daughter a few weeks ago and are doing their best to take care of her two young children. Leo knows he’s been through a lot and that he’s worried about Gwen, so he would hate for him to lose his wife too which Jack questions. Leo points out that Jack called what Jennifer did an accident which confirms her liability, so Leo asks if Jennifer confessed. Jack responds that he was speaking hypothetically because if Jennifer did something like that, it would not be intentional. Leo says the point is that it happened and Jack knows about it. Jack questions what his part of the settlement is. Leo explains that Jack’s not the only one who has had a rough couple months as he got falsely accused of killing Abigail and had to hire a lawyer, who is now threatening to take him to court.

Leo guesses he will have to alert the police and The Intruder about Jennifer’s accident then. Jack clarifies that he does not have a million dollars in his personal checking account, so he will have to go to the bank for that, and after the transfer is made, he’ll meet him somewhere. Leo decides he will wait right here to complete their transaction. Leo tells Jack that he’s doing the right thing for his wife and his family.

Julie calls Mike a sight for sore eyes. Doug says they have missed him so much. Mike knew he would see them later at the house but he wanted to come pay his respects to Laura and Abigail.

Gwen realizes Jennifer got high on those pills that she caught her with and questions why she decided to drive. Jennifer doesn’t know and says she was hallucinating seeing Abigail in the car. Jennifer swears it was an accident and she’s so sorry. Gwen argues that she didn’t come to apologize but to save her ass. Gwen complains that Jennifer knows she sped up and hit her but it didn’t matter. Jennifer claims she didn’t know she hit the gas pedal and thought she hit the brake. Gwen brings up their last conversation before the accident where Jennifer told her that she would be very sorry if she told Jack about her pills and that sounded like a threat to her. Jennifer points out that when she hit her, she didn’t know that Gwen had told Jack. Jennifer says she’s now glad that she told Jack because she needs help and is going to get it. Gwen talks about hearing all the same things from her mother growing up. Gwen says she’s learned that addicts are very cunning and they lie. Jennifer agrees and admits she’s said those same things to people she loves, so there’s no reason that Gwen should believe a word she says. Jennifer repeats that Gwen did the right thing by telling Jack about her, so she’s going to do the right thing too. Jennifer declares that she has just decided to go to the police station to turn herself in.

Mike explains that Jennifer called him and told him that she started abusing painkillers again. Doug mentions that they didn’t know for quite awhile. Mike decided a phone call wasn’t enough so here he is. Mike adds that Jennifer asked him to arrange getting her in to rehab. Julie is relieved that Jennifer will be getting help. Mike notes that Jennifer also told him how much their love and support meant to her. Doug assures they’d do anything for Mike and Jennifer, Laura’s two wonderful kids. Julie talks about how proud Laura was of them and how they are too. Julie suggests they go home for lunch. Mike decides he will meet them there since it’s been awhile so he needs to spend some time at his mom’s grave.

Jennifer tells Gwen that she has to go to the police now or she might lose her nerve. Jennifer repeats that she’s so sorry for everything. Gwen asks what about her addicition and if she wants to get clean. Jennifer is sure they have programs in prison. Gwen remarks that Jennifer wouldn’t last a week in prison. Jennifer responds that she’s stronger than she thinks. Gwen then stops her and tells her not to turn herself in. Jennifer questions that not being what she wants. Gwen thought it was, but she looks at her now and can see how much she’s suffered. Gwen talks about Jennifer’s mother dying suddenly and her daughter being brutally murdered, so it’s no wonder she turned to something to stop the pain. Jennifer points out that because of that, she almost killed Gwen. Gwen notes that she didn’t and she’s still here. Jennifer questions what she’s saying. Gwen responds that she cares about her and admits that’s a surprise to her as well. Gwen wishes someone told her mom that she cared about her. Gwen says it was just them growing up and she wasn’t up for it but she is now. Gwen tells Jennifer not to turn herself in and that she will go to the police and say she has no idea who hit her which shocks Jennifer.

Paulina talks about Jack and Jennifer being old friends of Abe and how she could see how much they were suffering. Paulina is thankful they finally caught the bastard who killed Abigail, which Chad calls a relief. Paulina couldn’t believe their governor turned that gang of violent criminals loose. Paulina gives her word that it won’t happen on her watch. Paulina then gets an idea and suggests Stephanie convince Chad join her campaign party since he has experience running a major corporation and could be a big help. Stephanie assures that if they need more help, she will hire enough staff to get the job done. Paulina says it’s her call and decides to leave them to their business. Paulina then exits. Stephanie jokingly tells Chad welcome to her world.

Jennifer questions why Gwen would cover for her. Gwen responds that she has two reasons, first is that she wants to see Jennifer do what her mother never managed to do and the other reason is because after everything she’s done to her family, she still allowed her to be part of Jack’s life. Gwen loves Jack and wants him to be happy and she can see his heart is completely broken from losing Abigail, so she can’t take Jennifer away from him too as that would absolutely destroy him and she won’t let that happen. Jack then walks in and questions what Gwen won’t let happen.

Doug and Julie go home. Doug heads upstairs while Julie goes in to the living room where she is shocked to find Leo eating donuts and watching cartoons.

Craig tells Nancy that he is sorry that she doesn’t think they can still be friends. Craig goes to leave but Nancy stops him and apologizes, saying she meant that she doesn’t think she was a friend to him since she paraded her engagement in front of him after he just had his heart broken. Craig responds that he knows Nancy did that because he hurt her, lied to her, and cheated on her with Leo which made her feel like nobody wanted her and she wanted him to know that somebody did. Nancy brings up that Clyde said he did love her and that she was good for him, but she wasn’t good enough to stop him from doing the terrible things he did. Craig acknowledges that no amount of love can change a man’s nature. Nancy says she knows that now too. Nancy thanks Craig for coming to check on her and for the flowers. Craig brings up that she was one of the first to come by when Leo broke his heart, so he just wanted to return the favor. Nancy says she just had the craziest thought and asks what if they got back together. Nancy knows it wouldn’t be a romantic relationship but there’s more about being together than just sex. Craig admits they know each other better than anyone else. Nancy jokes that they have seen each other at their best and their worst. Craig acknowledges that they care for each other and know how to take care of each other. Nancy says it would be so much safer than being with somebody new. Craig agrees that they wouldn’t have to risk having their hearts broken again. Nancy says it just wouldn’t be the romantic ending they both dreamed about. Craig agrees but says it would be pretty damn nice.

Julie questions what Leo is doing in their house. Leo says he smelled donuts and couldn’t resist. Julie complains that she made those for Doug and points out that he still didn’t answer what he’s doing here. Leo responds that it’s cool because Jack knows he’s there. Julie complains that it’s not cool with her as she knows who he is. Leo says she probably saw him on the news and that he didn’t kill Abigail. Julie points out that Leo still broke in to her bedroom, stole her jewelry and left behind the knife that killed her. Leo declares that’s enough about him and suggests they talk about what Jennifer did.

Jack tells Gwen that Leo came to see him which surprises her as he didn’t tell her he was going to do that. Jack explains that Leo said Gwen remembered the accident and demanded a million dollars in exchange for Gwen’s silence which shocks them. Jennifer realizes Jack knows what she did then. Jack confirms that Leo made sure of that. Jennifer assures that she blacked out and wasn’t trying to keep it from him as she just remembered it this morning and came straight here. Gwen tells Jack that she believes Jennifer that it was an accident, so she’s going to tell the police that she doesn’t remember what happened to her. Jack points out that Leo will then go to the police and tell them his version. Gwen argues that Leo wasn’t there, so without her, he has nothing. Gwen instructs Jack not to give Leo a penny. Jack is surprisd and questions why she’s doing this. Jennifer responds that it’s because Gwen is his daughter and she loves him.

Stephanie finishes a work call and tells Chad that now she just has to set up a press conference to put Paulina on the map. Chad suggests Stephanie take a break and call the hospital to check on Kayla. Stephanie says she will do that, but she has to get Paulina calmed down first. Chad calls Paulina unbelievable. Stephanie calls her a force of nature but says she does like her. Chad apologizes for shooting his mouth off while she was there. Stephanie apologizes for Paulina thinking he was her assistant. Chad points out that he is unemployed, so she has a point. Stephanie notes that he’s not hurting for money. Chad responds that he’s not but he does need to keep busy and she needs to hire more people, so he asks why not hire him?

Nancy and Craig agree that as nice as it sounds, they don’t want to give up on romance as they both deserve a chance at real love again. Craig tells Nancy that she has always been his friend and he wants her to have her happily ever after. Nancy says she wants that for him too. Nancy decides they will say goodbye, see each other around, and hang out some time. Nancy kisses him on the cheek as Craig then exits.

Julie questions the meaning of Leo’s crack about Jennifer. Leo decides he can’t divulge that. Julie demands he tell her or else she will hit him with her rolling pin. Jack then comes home. Julie informs Jack that Leo said he got in to the house with his permission. Jack responds that he did, but he’ll be leaving soon. Julie tells Jack to deal with him then and storms out. Leo assumes Jack meant he will be leaving with a big fat check but Jack says no because he just came from Gwen’s hospital room. Leo questions him lying about going to the bank. Jack responds that there was no need as they managed to settle the whole matter without him. Leo questions what that means. Jack informs him that the only eye witness to the accident is Gwen and she is not going to say a word about what happened. Jack yells at Leo to get the hell out, so he exits.

Stephanie asks if Chad really wants to help her make Paulina the Governor. Chad responds that he needs to focus on something other than himself and he honestly believes Paulina is the right choice for Governor. Stephanie notes that it will be very hectic. Chad gives her his permission to fire him if he sucks, so Stephanie welcomes him to SJ PR and they shake hands.

Jennifer comes home and tells Jack that she was afraid Leo would still be there. Jack assures that he made short work of him, so now he’s free to focus on her. Jennifer tells Jack that it was incredibly gracious of Gwen to cover for her and let this go. Jennifer says she’s so sorry for lying to Jack about the pills and for getting behind the wheel while she was wasted. Jennifer acknowledges that Jack already lost one daughter and she could have killed his other one. Jennifer asks if Jack can ever forgive her. Jack tells her not to talk like that and brings up how many times she has forgiven him. Jack says he’s so sorry that she was suffering with all of this alone and he never saw it. Jennifer guesses it’s what they call hitting bottom. Jennifer asks what she does now. Jack declares that whatever it is, she won’t be doing it alone as he hugs her.

Leo walks past the Brady Pub while on the phone with Gwen, saying he’s sorry as he assumed she wanted him to make the most of this opportunity. Gwen tells him that he assumed wrong. Leo thought he was doing this for both of them. Gwen tells him that he knows how she feels about Jack and he was furious when he came in, so Leo could’ve scorched her relationship with Jack for good. Leo gets now that Jack is nobody’s sugar daddy. Leo complains about now having nobody to pay for his pesky legal bills as Craig then approaches.

Mike stands in the town square at the plaque of Tom and Alice. Mike mentions staying with Doug and Julie and says he’s looking forward to seeing the people he hasn’t seen in so long. Mike says he’ll be back and turns around where he runs in to Nancy.

Jennifer finishes a call at home about making travel arrangements as Chad arrives and says he couldn’t help but overhear, so he asks if she’s going somewhere. Jennifer reveals that she is going to rehab.

Gwen wakes up in her hospital bed as Sarah asks if she’s alright. Gwen tells her that she was having a nightmare about the accident. Sarah asks if she remembered something else, what kind of car it was, or the driver.

Leo asks if Will and Sonny are going to congratulate him on getting released from prison. They question what he’s doing here. Leo says that he came to say thanks and bring him a fruit basket. Leo declares that Sonny saved his life, so he’s eternally grateful.

Jack sits at the Brady Pub when Xander arrives and startles him. Xander says he looks like he could use some company. Jack responds that he’s just picking up takeout for Gwen. Xander asks how she’s doing. Jack says she’s still shaken up but is on the mend. Xander asks if the cops have any leads on the driver.

Gwen tells Sarah that she can see the car and the headlights. Gwen says there was a figure behind the wheel and she almost saw their face, but then she lost it. Sarah hopes it comes in to focus soon. Sarah is glad Gwen is awake. Gwen asks if she’s going to poke and prod her like every other doctor. Sarah says no but notes that Gwen is scheduled for more tests today. Gwen asks why Sarah is here then. Sarah thought it was time they talk about how Gwen tried to have her committed.

At the hospital, Stephanie is on the phone with Joey, assuring that Kayla is okay and promises to tell him if anything changes. Stephanie hangs up as Alex arrives and asks what she’s doing there and what’s wrong.

Sonny is not sure how to interpret Leo’s gratitude. Leo tells him to just accept it and let it lift his spirits. Leo explains that if Sonny hadn’t remembered smelling Clyde’s cologne, then he’d still be rotting in prison. Sonny tells him not to take it personally as he just wanted to see the right person punished. Leo says they are all on the same side now, so he hoped he could get his job back at Titan. Sonny asks if he’s joking. Leo points out that he did used to work there and claims not to remember accusing Sonny of sexual harassment. Sonny tells Leo that it’s not up to him because his brother Alex is in charge now. Leo complains that he should’ve known as he can’t count on anyone these days. Leo tells Sonny to take it easy and get well soon. Leo calls Sonny and Will an adorable couple as he exits the room.

Chad questions Jennifer going to rehab. Jennifer admits that she relapsed. Chad tells her that he’s so sorry. Jennifer explains that her brother Mike works with a facility in New York, so they are saving a room for her and she leaves later today. Chad brings up everything he’s put on her since Abigail died like asking her to watch the kids and worries that he leaned on her too much when he didn’t know that she needed help. Jennifer understands he couldn’t have known after losing his wife, so he was already suffering so much. Chad declares that at least they know who did it now. Jennifer says that means Abigail has justice and it will never be enough, but it’s something. Chad knows now that he needs to start moving on. Chad adds that it’s more about finding peace. Chad tells Jennifer that he saw Abigail and it made him realize that he needs to be strong for himself, the children, and Abigail.

Jack tells Xander that the police don’t seem to know who hit Gwen so far. Xander calls that odd since it happened right outside the police station. Jack says the cameras weren’t working that night and he heard they are having budget problems which Xander relates to. Xander worries that his luck is finally running out at the Salem Inn. Jack asks how he can help. Xander asks him to give him a job.

Sarah wants to talk to Gwen about the time that she broke out of prison to get back at her and Abigail by attacking Abigail while wearing the Sarah mask, so Abigail would suffer and Sarah would disappear from Salem. Gwen asks what she wants from her. Sarah wants to know if it was all just revenge. Sarah points out that Gwen was in prison so she couldn’t get Xander back which means all that mattered was ruining her life. Sarah questions what she ever did to Gwen. Gwen asks what she wants her to say. Gwen admits she did everything in her power to keep Xander away from her, but Sarah got everything she wanted in the end while she’s here alone, lucky to be alive. Gwen tells Sarah that all she can say is congratulations and that she is sorry. Sarah argues that Gwen is not sorry. Gwen repeats that she said she was. Sarah says she heard the words but only sees bitterness in her eyes. Gwen questions what more she wants from her since she won. Gwen assures Sarah that she will stay away from her and Xander until the end of time. Sarah warns that she damn well better. Sarah tells Gwen that a nurse will be by later to take her for tests as she then exits the room.

Stephanie tells Alex that she’s fine. Alex asks if she’s sure since she seems really upset. Stephanie insists that she’s fine. Alex apologizes for not following their rules and says she made it very clear when she turned down a simple lunch. Alex complains that they can’t talk personal, only business, and they are not friends, only colleagues, because she could never be friends with someone like him. Alex gives Stephanie the numbers for the quarterly returns and they aren’t great, so he tells her to spin that and walks away.

Will talks on the phone, asking why he can’t do the meeting remotely over Zoom. Will says to tell him what he needs to do and hangs up. Will informs Sonny that the star of his project won’t sign unless his dogs give him their stamp of approval which Sonny laughs at. Will says apparently to do that, he needs to be in the same room. Sonny tells Will that he should go. Will asks what he’s talking about as he doesn’t want to leave while Sonny, Kate, and Marlena are all in the hospital. Sonny assures that the doctors are doing a great job and they wouldn’t want him to put his life on hold. Sonny tells Will that he will be okay and that his project won’t write and direct itself. Will notes that he’s working on a couple of projects, so if he goes back, he might be gone for awhile. Will questions what that means for them if Sonny stays in Salem. Will then asks if they are going to be a long distance relationship.

Chad tells Jennifer that maybe he’s losing his mind, but it felt so real to him as he communicated with Abigail at the cemetery. Chad says he’s sorry if this is upsetting but Jennifer responds that she saw Abigail too. Jennifer thought maybe it was the pills but insists that she was in this room and then she came with her in the car when she went to the police station. Jennifer flashes back to driving to the police station while imagining Abigail.

Xander tells Jack that he actually came to the Brady Pub to beg them for a job but he’s much more suited to an executive position at the Spectator. Xander knows he doesn’t have experience with newspapers but he did once run Titan. Xander says if not an executive, maybe he could be an assistant editor or something. Xander asks what he says. Jack then reveals that he thinks Jennifer is the one who hit Gwen.

Leo visits Gwen in the hospital. Gwen is surprised that he’s out of jail. Leo says he came by to thank Sonny for his freedom and then he overheard nurses talking about what happened to Gwen. Leo asks if it’s true that someone ran Gwen down outside of the police station. Gwen confirms that’s exactly what happened, right after she came to see him. Leo asks if she’s okay. Gwen says she’s just bruised, traumatized, alone, and miserable but she will live. Leo encourages her and gives her a chocolate covered strawberry. Leo asks who the hell did this to her. Gwen says she doesn’t know as she was leaving the police station and next thing she knows, she’s staring down these headlights. Gwen then has another flashback and remembers that it was Jennifer driving the car.

Sonny tells Will that it’s not like he’s shipping off to war. Sonny says they will visit him in LA and he can come visit them here. Sonny notes that the whole reason he stayed in Salem was so he could follow his dreams of becoming CEO of Titan, so now Will has to follow his. Sonny points out that it won’t be forever. Sonny acknowledges that Will waited a long time for something like this, so he thinks he should make the most out of it. Sonny says when it’s all done, he and Arianna will be right here waiting for him. Will thanks him and says he loves him as they kiss. Will wishes Sonny was out of the hospital bed and back in their bed. Will encourages that he will be on his feet again soon. Sonny says then he can get his company back from his snake of a brother, Alex. Alex then enters the room and asks if somebody said his name.

Chad asks if Jennifer is alright. Jennifer says she’s fine and is just thinking about seeing Abigail in the car. Jennifer laments that she just made so many mistakes and can’t believe she allowed herself to get addicted again and lied to Jack. Jennifer feels she let down so many people that she loves. Chad encourages that’s not true and if anything they let her down. Chad knows he’s been struggling but feels he should’ve been there for her and he wasn’t, but he is now. Chad states that Jennifer is Abigail’s mother and always felt like a mother to him. Chad thinks Abigail would want them to be close. Jennifer confirms that she did and they are. Chad assures that won’t change while she’s away because they are family and he loves her, so he would do anything for her as they hug. Chad then exits as Jennifer holds back tears.

Xander questions Jack thinking Jennifer drove the car in to Gwen. Jack doesn’t know for sure but he thinks it’s possible. Xander asks why. Jack reveals that he just found out that Jennifer has been abusing drugs again. Jack says he’s been so overwhelmed with his own grief that he didn’t pick up on it. Jack questions not seeing it. Xander is sure she covered it well but Jack figured it out eventually. Jack explains that he didn’t as it was Gwen who told him since she caught Jennifer with the pills and told him. Xander says that doesn’t explain why Jack thinks Jennifer was driving the car. Jack tells him that Jennifer told him that she was high last night and that she drove to the police station which was exactly at the moment of the accident. Jack states that Gwen is the reason he knows anything was happening with Jennifer. Jack worries about Jennifer’s condition and that she wouldn’t even remember if she did it.

Gwen can’t believe that Jennifer was the one who did this to her. Gwen assures that she can see her face behind the wheel. Gwen asks Leo if he thinks Jennifer did this on purpose. Leo says of course she did because she’d have every reason to want to get back at her. Gwen asks why now. Leo reminds Gwen that Jennifer threatened her when she caught her with the pills and so she mowed her down before she could talk. Gwen questions if she would really do that. Leo says she’s a junkie, so of course she would. Leo doesn’t care that Jennifer is a Horton and that everyone worships her. Leo declares that he and Gwen are now going to expose Jennifer for the vehicular homicidal pill popper that she is.

Stephanietits outside of Julie’s Place while working on her tablet. Chad arrives and comments that it looks like she has a full day ahead of her and he can figure how that’s going. Stephanie mentions hearing that they found the person responsible for Abigail’s death and that it must be such a relief. Stephanie gets a call from Joey and tells him again that she will let him know if she hears anything so he doesn’t have to keep checking in. Stephanie says they’ll talk later and hangs up. Chad asks if everything is okay. Stephanie informs him that Kayla is in the hospital. Chad asks what happened. Stephanie says they don’t know as it’s a mysterious illness and that Marlena and Kate have it too. Chad can’t believe it as he didn’t know and asks if they are okay. Stephanie states that Kayla keeps saying there is nothing to worry about. Chad encourages her to go be with her. Stephanie says she was just there and Kayla is sleeping while Alex just gave her all this work for Titan and she’s completely behind on Paulina’s campaign, so she thought sitting out in the sun might make the work go by faster. Chad offers to help to make it go faster.

Sonny calls Alex a snake. Alex repeats that he didn’t steal his job. Sonny asks if he came back to make more excuses. Alex explains that Justin said he should try to settle things with him, which he was going to do until he walked in on him calling him names. Sonny asks what he expects and if he should just forget he tried to screw him over and move on. Alex responds that he didn’t do anything. Sonny complains that this is like when they were kids and Alex broke his toys. Sonny argues that Alex hasn’t changed. Alex asks Will to try to talk some sense in to Sonny. Will points out that one of them almost died and they are arguing about business. Will asks who cares since they are brothers and life is short. Will tells them to get over themselves and call a truce.

Gwen questions Leo saying they are going to expose Jennifer. Leo calls her his best friend and says he’s going to see to it that Jennifer pays for what she did. Gwen asks if they should call the police. Leo clarifies that he means make her pay as in money because he has legal bills, she has medical bills, and they don’t have a job. Gwen is unsure. Leo argues that she deserves a win after the hell she’s been through or she can just lie here and think about everything she lost. Leo asks what she says. The nurse then comes in to take Gwen to radiology for a follow up CT scan. Leo points out that it sounds very expensive and tells Gwen they will talk later as he then exits.

Jennifer has another flashback to driving to the police station, swearing to Abigail that everyone who ever hurt her her would pay, and then running over Gwen. Jennifer then realizes what she had done.

Will tells Alex and Sonny to stop being so stubborn and make up already. Alex admits he shouldn’t have gotten so defensive while Sonny admits he probably shouldn’t have called him a snake. Will tells them to keep going. Alex doesn’t want to fight with Sonny. Sonny says the same. Will encourages them to move on to the apologies. Alex apologizes and then Sonny does as well as they shake hands. Will calls that much better. Alex adds that he really did come to make things better but he was pissed off after running in to Stephanie and she bit his head off for asking how she’s doing. Sonny doesn’t think it was about him. Will explains that Stephanie’s mom is in the hospital and is pretty sick.

Jack tells Xander that if Jennifer drove her car in to Gwen, he has to talk to her and find out exactly what she remembers. Jack says they will figure out how to deal with it. Xander promises not to say anything. Jack thanks him for understanding and says they will talk about his job another time. Jack says he has to talk to Jennifer right now as it can’t wait. Jack remembers he was picking up takeout for Gwen, so Xander offers to take it to her and asks what are friends for.

Jennifer realizes that she was the one driving the car that hit Gwen and begins to panic.

Alex questions what’s wrong with Stephanie’s mother. Sonny says they aren’t sure but both of Will’s grandmothers are sick with it too. Alex wishes he knew before acting like a jerk as he would have at least offered her a shoulder to cry on.

Stephanie questions Chad wanting to help her. Chad points out that if they split the work, they’ll get it done in half the time. Stephanie asks how he would even know what to do. Chad responds that he’s done some PR at DiMera so he’s sure he could figure it out. Stephanie questions him wanting to pitch in for Titan. Chad says he’s unemployed and his kids are at school so he has time and it’s up to her. Stephanie accepts his help and gives him a press release to start with.

Xander goes to the hospital with takeout from the Pub. Sarah sees him and calls it a nice surprise, asking if he brought her lunch. Xander clarifies that it’s for Gwen from Jack as he ran in to him at the Pub. Xander asks if Gwen is in her room but Sarah says she’s taking tests so she will have a nurse bring it to her when she gets out. Xander thanks her. Sarah questions why Jack sent him. Xander says he would’ve brought it himself but he’s going through something.

Jack goes home looking for Jennifer but instead finds Leo, who says Jennifer isn’t home but the door was open so he let himself in. Leo says he needed to see Jack which he questions. Leo suggests Jack bring out his check book because his addict wife got behind the wheel and plowed in to his best friend, so if he wants him to keep his mouth shut, he’s going to write him a very large check.

Jennifer goes to visit Gwen at the hospital. Gwen asks what brings her by and if she came to finish her off.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hi. Hey, it’s a veritable art gallery in here. Oh, apparently Ari thought my room. Could you some, uh, what did she say? Brightening? Yeah, she was right. She did a great job, although, Unfortunately, you’re gonna have to take ’em all down soon. Why? Why? Yeah. I just saw Sarah and she told me that you are healing so well.

You’re gonna get outta here today or tomorrow. . That’s so great. Oh, I guess I have been complaining a lot. I told her that I have cabin fever, so she, maybe she took pity on me. Mm-hmm. . Well, either way I will take it. You know, now that Clyde is being transferred back to prison, we can finally put this whole nightmare behind us.

Fruit. Anyone?

Thanks Mike. I’ll, I’ll, I’ll make the travel arrangements. Yeah. Okay. Love you. Let’s see you soon. Sorry, I should have knocked. Oh, no, no, no. Come on in. It’s okay. You know you’re always welcome here. Uh, I could happen over here. Are you going somewhere?

Yeah, I’m going to

you.

I was having a nightmare about the accident.

Did you remember something else, what kind of car it was? I doubt you saw the driver,

or did you?

Like sand through the hour glass. So are the days of lives.

Well, aren’t you gonna congratulate me for what? Being released from jail. Look at me Friberg. I know, I know. It isn’t really a surprise with Clyde being arrested. They couldn’t exactly hold me for his crimes. What are you doing here, Leo? Yeah. Shouldn’t you be out spreading your own special brand of joy?

I’m sure the world has seemed much bloomer without me in it. Is that supposed to be a uniform? Why are you here? Oh, well, I came to say, I came to say thank you and to bring you this delicious arrangement. Look, the point is, and you saved my life. I’m eternally grateful.

Jack I everything right? Uh, yeah. Yeah. He’s, he startled me. This all Well, didn’t mean to sneak up on you. Just be like you do some company. I’m just waiting for some take up for Gwen. How’s she doing? She’s, uh, she’s still a little shackling up, but she’s on the mend. I’m glad to hear it. Well, the cops are still investigating the accident.

Do they have any leaves on the driver?

I can see the car and the headlights and

there was a, a figure behind the wheel and I almost saw their face, but,

but then I lost it.

Well, hopefully that comes into focus soon. I’m glad you’re awake. Why? So you can poke and prod me like every other doctor? No. Although if you are scheduled for some more tests today. Brilliant.

And why are you. I thought it was time you and I talked about how you tried to have me committed

Joey, you just heard mom tell you she’s okay.

I promise. I will tell you if anything changes, I will talk to you.

Stephanie, what are you doing here?

What is it? What’s wrong?

You know, I’m, I’m really not sure how to interpret all this for gratitude. Just accept it and let it lift your spirits that your preternaturally excellent powers of well factory retention are being acknowledged. Okay, in English, please. Oh, don’t be so modest if you hadn’t remembered Smelling Clyde Sad and Girly drugstore co.

Vanilla. Really? I’d still be rotting in prison for a murder. I didn’t come in. Okay. Well, don’t take it personally, believe me. I just wanted to see the right person punished. Mission accomplished sunny kay, and since we’re all on the same side now, would not say that I was hoping I could get my job back at tight.

But you’re joking, right? I did used to work there. Yeah. Before you falsely accuse me of sexual harassment. Did I? So long ago? I have no memory of that. Really? I remember it vividly. Yeah. And even if we did have amnesia and forget what a conniving little creep you are. It’s not up to me. If you want a job at Titan, you’re gonna have to ask my brother Alex.

He’s in charge now. Your brother. You mean the super sexy, very handsome, vaguely familiar. Looks like someone, but I can’t quite put my finger on a guy who hates my guts, tried to beat me up and threatened to kill me. Yeah, that’s the one. Ugh, I should have known. Can’t counter on anyone these days. Well take it easy.

Get well soon. By the way, you two really are an adorable couple. You know that, Especially Sunny. But I have always been partial to brunettes. Especially once with big salt, brown eyes. Bye.

You’re going to rehab? Yeah, I, uh, I relapsed.

Jen, I’m so sorry.

My brother Mike is affiliated with a facility in New York. Um, they’re receiving a room for me. When do you leave later today. I, I can’t help but think of, of everything I’ve put on you since Abby’s death, I mean, all the times I’ve asked you to watch the kids. I leaned on you maybe too much and, and I was selfish and I didn’t even know you needed help.

No. No. How, how, how could you possibly know that I, that I needed it? You lost your wife. You lost the mother of your children. You were already suffering so much.

At least we know who didn’t. Now. Yes. And that, and that means that Abigail has justice.

Wasn’t not enough. It’ll never be enough. But it’s, it’s something, right? Yeah. It’s something.

But I know now that, um, ready to start moving on

actually what.

That’s more than, more than that really. It’s more than, um, helping her find peace.

I saw her,

You saw her,

didn’t even realize that I.

Be strong for myself and for our children. For her.

The police don’t seem to know who hit Gwen so far. That seems odd. Why do you say. Well, didn’t it happen right outside their station? They told me that the cameras on that side of the building weren’t working that night. leave it a Salem PD to foul up a crime on their own doorstep. I heard that they’re having some budget problems.

Them and me both really. Sorry to hear that. Looks like my luck is finally running out the Salem Moon and there’s only so long I can charm Phyllis at the front desk into rolling my bill into the next month. Wow. Past due are. Oh, how can I help by giving me a job?

I wanna talk about that time you broke outta prison. You wanted to get back at Abigail and me. So you attacked her while wearing that. Of my face that way, Abigail would suffer and I would disappear from Salem.

What do you want from me? I want to know, was it all just revenge? I mean, you were in prison, you couldn’t have possibly been delusional enough to think that you would get Sandra back. So all that mattered was ruining my life. And for what? What, What did I ever do to you? What do you want me to say? Yes. I did everything in my power to keep Xander away from you.

But you got everything you wanted in the end, didn’t you? You got the ring on your finger. You got the happily ever after. While I am sat here alone in this bed, Lucky to be alive. So really all I can say is congratulations.

And I am sorry

you’re not sorry. I said I was, didn’t I? Oh, I heard the words, but all I see is bitterness in your. What more do you want from me? Sarah? You won. Okay. And if you need more assurance, I, I assure you, I will stay away from you and Xander until the end of time. Right? You’re damn well better

a nurse will be by later to take you for those.

I’m fine. Are you sure? I seem really upset. I said I’m fine. Right. I forgot I wasn’t following our rules. Alex, Now you don’t have to tell me again, Stephanie. Honestly, you made yourself very clear when you turned me down for a simple lunch. We talk business, nothing personal, right? We’re colleagues, not friends, because you could never be friends with somebody like me, Alex.

But it’s okay. Cuz guess what? You’re in luck. I happen to have the numbers for the quarterly returns here and they’re not great. So you wanna spin something? Spin this.

Why can’t I do the meeting remotely? Did you, Did you say his dogs can’t read my energy over Zoom. Oh. Oh, okay. Yeah. Just tell me what I need to do. Okay. Bye. Okay, so that sounded weird. Yeah, that was infuriating. The star of our project won’t sign unless his golden doodles give me their stamp of approval.

Yeah. You’re joking, right? No, I’m, I’m dead serious and apparently I to do that, I need to be in the, in the same room. You should go. Okay. Not just for the meeting. Wait, wait. What? Maybe you talking about. I’m not, I’m not leaving. While, while you and, and my grandmothers are in the hospital, the doctors are doing a great job of taking care of Kate Marlin.

Okay. And they wouldn’t want you to put your life on hold for them. Okay. Well, what about you? I’ll be okay. All right. And this movie’s not gonna write and direct itself.

Yeah. Have. That’s funny. I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m working on like a couple projects, you know, so if I, if I go out there, I might have to be out there for a while and, and if you’re in sale, I’m like, what, what does that mean for us? Like, are, are we gonna have, are we gonna gonna meet a long distance relationship?

I know that it sounds like I’m losing my mind and I. I don’t know. Maybe, maybe, maybe I am, but I just, it felt so real to me. So you communicated with her? I, yeah. I went to the cemetery and I, I wanted to tell her that, that we’d finally caught her killer and she could, you know, whole, uh, rest in peace and then, Oh, so she was, she was just standing there right in front of me.

I’m sorry if this is as upsetting, Jen. I saw her, I saw her too. I’m swear, like yesterday I thought maybe it, it was the pills, but. She was here. She was right here in this room, and then she came with me. She came with me in the car when I left for the police station.

Not what they done to you.

Yeah, I actually came here to the pop today to beg them for a job pouring beers or flipping burgers, whatever they’ll give me. But you have to agree, I’m much more suited to an executive position, the spectator, right? I mean, you know, I, I know I don’t have any experience working in newspapers, but I did once run a multinational con.

You can’t be that different, can they? It’s all about steering the ship and managing egos no bigger than my own. Of course. Right. That was a joke. I know. I mean, Jack and I, I’m being a bit cheeky, assuming I’m come in as an executive, but maybe you could use me as an assistant editor or somewhere on the I’D sales side of it.

What’d you say? I think Jennifer’s the one who hit G.

Oh, Lady Gwe here. Matt, you’re out to jail. Finally, I came by to thank son for giving me my freedom, and then I overheard these gossipy nurses talking about what happened to you. Is it true? Is what true that someone ran you down like a fluffy squirrel outside the police station? That’s exactly what happened.

It was right after I came to see you. Oh, how terrible and frightening I are you okay? Any broken bones? Torn whatevers, No. You know, broken bones, but I am quite bruised and quite traumatized. Not to mention alone and miserable, but to our live. Of course you will. You are into fatigable. I don’t know what that mean, but it sounds good right here.

I brought you some chocolate covered strawberries. What one earth happened to the other one? I ate it. I had just found out about your accident. I was distraught and you know how I stress eat. So who the hell did this to you? I don’t know. I was leaving the police station, and the next thing I know, I’m staring down at these headlights and, and then I looked up and I, I saw,

Oh my God. What?

Oh my gosh. I remember Now, do you mean you remember who was driving the car? Yeah. Yes. That’s what I mean. It was Jennifer. Jennifer’s the one who was behind the wheel.

It’s not like you’re shipping off the war , right? Ari and I will visit you in la. You can come visit us here.

The whole reason I stayed here in Salem was so that I could follow my dreams of becoming the CEO of Titan. And now you have to follow yours. Okay? And no matter how long these projects do take, it’s not gonna be forever. So I should just wish for a speedy cancellation then. Is this, No, No.

You waited a long time for something like this, and now that it’s here, I think you should make the most out. And when it’s all and done, R and I will be right here waiting for you. Okay, so how does that sound? What do you say? I say thank you. I love you

coffee.

And I wish you were out of this bed and back into ours. Yeah, me too. But, uh, You’re gonna be on your feet again soon. Yeah. And then I can get my company back from my snake of a brother, Alex.

Did somebody say my name?

Oh, Jeffrey, you all right? No, I’m, I’m fine. I’m, I’m fine. I’m just, just, uh, Just like seeing Abi in the car and yeah. I’ve just made so many mistakes. I can’t believe I allowed myself to get addicted again. I, I can’t believe I lied to Jack. I, I, I just feel like I’ve, I’ve lied down so many people that I lost No, no, no, no.

Stop. We haven’t let anyone down. If anything, we’ve let you down. Oh, Jen. No. No. And this is, I, I know that I’ve been struggl. To keep my head above water, but that doesn’t change the fact that I should have been here for you and I wasn’t. But I am now. Abby’s mother, you’ve always felt like a mother to me, and I think Abby would want that for us to be close.

Yeah, she.

And then we were, we are. That’s not gonna change way you’re away or family. I love you and I don’t do anything for you.

You think Jennifer is the one who drove a carent? I, I don’t know for sure. Of course, but I think, I think it’s possible why? I just found out that Jennifer’s been abusing drugs again. Oh, I, I’ve just been. Well, I’m just my own grief. I, I just, I didn’t, I didn’t pick up on it that all. But Jack, I’m so sorry. I, I mean I, I, I didn’t see it.

I just, Why I didn’t see it. I’m sure she covered it well, I mean, and obviously you figured out eventually. No, I didn’t. It was Gwen Gwen’s the one who told me about it. Gwen, Yes. Swe got Jennifer with pills and confronted her. Oh, I see. But wait. That doesn’t explain why you think Jennifer was the one behind the wheel the night when was hit.

Jennifer told me that when she was high last night, she got into the car and she drove to the police station. I think it was exactly at the moment of the accident, but what’s the reason I even know anything happened to Jennifer? For her to be the one who got. Have you asked Janice I that night? No. I, I don’t know how to brush the subject and, and the condition that she was in, I, if she did do it, I don’t, I don’t think that she’d even remember.

I don’t believe this. Jennifer is, is the one who did this to me. I, I, I couldn’t remember before, but now I do. I can see it was her face behind the wheel.

Oh my God. Leo, do you think that she did this on purpose? Of course she did this on purpose. After all the misery you caused her and her family, she had ever reason to wanna get back at you. Why now? Well, didn’t you just tell me in jail that you caught her with pills and she warned you that if you didn’t keep your mouth shut, you’d be sorry that she threatened you?

She did do that. Mm-hmm. ? Yeah. Yeah. So she wasn’t taking any chances, so she mowed you down before you could talk. She really think she would do that though, Honey, She’s a junkie. Of course, she. And now that she has done this to you, I don’t care that she’s a Horton and that everybody worships her angelic little ass.

Now that she has run you over, Gny, you and I are going to expose that woman and it’s gonna be hard to say, but bear with me for the vehicular homicidal pill puffer that she is.

Like you got a full day out of you, Chad. Hey, I’d ask how it’s going, but I think I can figure that out.

Um, I heard they found the person responsible for Abigail’s death, that it was Clyde Weston. Yeah. That must be such a relief. Sorry, I have to No, go ahead.

Joey. I told you, I’d let you know if I heard anything. You don’t have to keep checking in every five minutes I will. Talk to you later. Bye. Everything. Okay?

My mom’s in the hospital. What happened? We don’t know. It’s this mysterious illness. Marlena and Kate have it too. Oh my God, I, I didn’t even know. Are they okay? They seem to be stable. And of course my mom keeps saying that there’s nothing to worry about. Well, it looks like you’re doing plenty of worrying.

You should go and be with her. I was just there and she’s sleeping now, and Alex just handed me all of this work for Titan. Not to mention that I’m completely behind on Paul Prices campaign. Thought sitting out here in the sun might make the work go by a little faster. Well, but I might know a way we could make it go faster.

I could help.

Oh, well speak of the devil. Or should I say snake? Oh, I told you, Sonny. I didn’t steal your job. Is that why you came back? No. To make more excuses, No, I came back here because dad said that I should try and subtle things with you, which I was ready to do until I just walked in on you calling me names.

What do you expect me to do? Give you a. Forget that you tried to screw me over and just move on. I didn’t do anything wrong, Sonny. This is what I was talking about right here. It’s like when we were kids, he would take one of my toys, he would break it, and then, oh, I gave it to him. I was the one who gave it to him.

Oh my God, man. You always do this. You always does this, this. What do I do? Do what? This. You should relate everything that happens to you It to some like childhood trauma that you supposedly suffered when we were kids, because you haven’t changed. Will, could you maybe please try and talk some sense into your thick head please?

Okay. How about I, How about I talk some sense into both of you because look where we are right now. One of you almost died and you’re arguing about business, about meaningless bull. Who cares, right? Your brother’s life is short, so get over yourselves and call a tru.

We are going to expose this woman, aka Jennifer Horton. Uh, who’s we? Who’s we? Who do you think us too? Gwe. You are my best friend and I’m gonna see too, that Jennifer pays for what she did. You think we should find the police? I went, No. I mean, pay ISN in money. What? I have legal bills, you have medical bills.

Neither one of us have a job. You ask me, we’re killing three birds with one black male. I dunno what? What is there to know? What is there to know after the hell you’ve been through this past year? You deserve a win one with dollar signs attached. Or you could just lie here thinking about everything that you’ve lost.

What do you say,

Mrs. Jack, I need to take you to radiology. Okay, we’ll talk later. When do you feel better? Radiology. Dr. Horton ordered a follow up CT scan. Ooh, that sounds very expensive.

Done to you.

It was Clyde. I swear. I’m trying to make him pay anyone who ever hurt you. Anyone who ever even thought about hurting you. I swear,

I promise. I promise you, just as a sweet girl,

they will be sorry they ever hurt my baby.

Stop being so stubborn and make up already, or do I have to take away your TV privileges?

I probably shouldn’t have gotten so offensive. Yeah. And I, I probably shouldn’t have called you up. It’s a nice think. Yeah. Repeatedly. Okay. Keep going.

If I don’t wanna fight with you, somebody, I don’t, I don’t wanna fight either. Nice. Now, onto the apologies.

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry, Tim.

There we go. Yeah, much better. And just so you know, I really did come over here to try and make things better. I was just in a. Pissed off mood. I, I ran into Stephanie and what she just pretty much bit my head off when I asked her how she was doing. God forbid I care about her as a human. If it makes you feel any better.

I don’t think it was about you. What do you mean? Says moms in the hospital. She’s pretty sick.

If Jennifer drove her car into Gwe, As hard as it is, I have to talk to her. I have to, I have to find out exactly what she remembers about last night, and if she didn’t eat

we’ll find a way to deal with it. But until I know for sure Sandra, you, you cannot, Oh, I’m not gonna say anything. I promise.

Thank you for understanding it. Listen, we will. We, we’ll talk about the job thing at another time. I, I gotta get home. Are gonna talk to Jennifer right now? Yeah. I, I can’t wait. I, I, quinn’s chatter, I, I gotta bring it to her, but I take it to her. One Mind. What a friend’s phone.

My God. I was the one driving the car. I, I, it was me.

Wow.

Wait, what’s wrong with Stephanie’s mother? They’re not sure, but both Will’s, grandmothers were sick with it too. Whatever it is. Oh my God. I wish I would’ve known that before I acted like such a jerk. I mean, I would’ve, I would’ve at least offered her a shoulder to cry on. So you wanna help me? Well, if we split the work, then we get it done half the time.

H how would you even know what to do? Well, I have done some PR in my day at Damara. I’m sure I can figure it out. You sure you wanna pitch in for Titan? But I’m unemployed. Kids are in school. I have a lot of time in my hands. I could use a distraction. What’s up to you? Are you kidding? That’s like asking a drowning woman if she’s interested in a life preserver.

Here, you can start with this press release,

baby. What a nice surprise. Did you bring me? Ledge? Oh, actually this is for Gwen. Oh, I, Jack, I ran into him at the pub. Is she in a room? No, she’s getting some tests done at the moment, so I will, uh, I will have a nurse bring it to her when she gets out. Okay, thanks. Can I ask why Jack sent you? Oh, he would’ve brought it himself, but um, he’s just going through something.

Jennifer, I don’t think she’s home. She go stark. What the hell? Well, the door was open. I hope you don’t mind. I let myself in. I, I very much What do you want? I needed to see you. Why? Well, before we go any further, maybe you should get outta your checkbook. It’ll save us some time. Why would I do that? Oh.

Because your addict white got behind the wheel and plowed into my best friend. And if you want me to keep my big mouth shut, you’re going to write me a very large check,

Jennifer.

What brings you by come to finish me off.

Update written by Joseph

Roman checks on Kate in bed. She complains that she’s wide awake and thought coming here instead of the hospital would help. Roman says he has something that might help as he then brings in her son Rex, who greets her with a hug.

Stephanie goes to the hospital as Steve is finishing a call. Stephanie confronts Steve over not updating her on Kayla. Stephanie questions not hearing from him that Kayla got so sick that she was in the hospital. Steve says he didn’t want to worry her. Stephanie argues that she’s not a child and complains that she had to hear it from Eric, who thought she already knew that not only is Kayla sick but so are Marlena and Kate. Stephanie asks if they are going to make it. Steve responds that right now, they just don’t know.

John prays in the chapel and talks about whipping the Devil again, but now they are up against another force of darkness in Orpheus. John prays for God to give Kayla, Kate, and Marlena the strength to fight this. Brady enters and tells him that Eric and Belle are in with Marlena now as she sleeps. John mentions sitting up with her all night. John says he wants to help the woman he loves from suffering but there’s not a damn thing he can do except pray as Brady hugs him.

Stefan goes to Chloe’s room with flowers and gift bags. Chloe questions what he’s doing here and reminds him that she’s with Brady now so he stopped by for no reason. Stefan responds that he came to wish her a happy birthday.

Kristen doesn’t know the technical term but tells Dr. Rolf that she needs him to fry Chloe’s brain.

Steve apologizes to Stephanie for not telling her but he wanted to wait until they had a better idea as to what they are dealing with. Steve mentions waiting on more test results. Stephanie argues that it’s just like when Marlena and Kayla were kidnapped and asks what his excuse is this time. Stephanie points out that he clearly still doesn’t have the information. Steve informs her that what they do now is that Orpheus is behind this too.

John tells Brady that he just talked to Roman, who said Kate and Kayla are failing just like Marlena and their fevers are getting worse. John adds that the medication isn’t doing anything and they can’t find a cure unless they find out exactly what Orpheus did to them. John mentions that even the ISA are totally stumped. John complains about having to just sit here and wait.

Rex tells Kate that he came as soon as he heard. Rex feels Kate should be in the hospital. Kate asks what the point is since there is nothing they can do for her, so she wishes Rex hadn’t come. Rex says it’s too bad because he’s here to watch her get better. Rex encourages that they will figure out what’s making her sick and find a cure and he will be by her side until they do.

Stefan praises Chloe and gives her flowers for her birthday. Stefan asks if she has any special plans or if anyone is throwing her a party. Chloe says no. Stefan questions if no one else remembered her birthday. Chloe admits that no one did. Stefan points out that only he did.

Dr. Rolf tells Kristen that he does not fry brains. Kristen complains that Chloe’s is so small that it won’t be too challenging. Dr. Rolf asks Kristen to go because he’s busy. Kristen argues that she can’t let Chloe get away with what happened. Dr. Rolf responds that she doesn’t need him, she needs a lawyer. Kristen tells him about how she represented herself and she was so close to victory, but then suddenly the judge ruled against her. Kristen blames Chloe since she saw Chloe skulking around the court house right before the decision. Kristen doesn’t know what Chloe did but says she definitely pulled something and now she’s lost her daughter. Dr. Rolf wishes he could help her. Kristen tells him that he is going to help her and together, they are going to stop that homewrecking whore once and for all.

Stefan questions all of the people that Chloe loves forgetting her birthday. Chloe wants to drop the subject and says it’s totally understandable that it was forgotten. Stefan calls her awfully forgiving. Chloe feels there’s nothing to forgive since her father just went through a horrible divorce and breakup while her mother almost married a murderer, so she’s obviously a mess. Stefan says he’s sorry about that. Chloe is glad Nancy found out about Clyde before their wedding, but she can’t believe what he did to Abigail and Sonny and that he tried to kill Chad too. Stefan is glad EJ shot him and saved Chad’s life. Chloe mentions that Clyde survived. Chloe says the point is that her parents have so much going on that they probably don’t know what day it is. Chloe jokes that her little sister has never remembered her birthday so that’s no surprise. Stefan says all of that makes sense and is understandable, but questions what Brady’s excuse is.

John tells Brady that he’s been so wrapped up with Marlena that he didn’t even ask him about the custody hearing or apologize for losing it on the stand. Brady tells him not to worry about it as the case is closed and he won, so he still has custody of Rachel. John calls that great news and says he’s so glad it went his way. Brady notes that he has Chloe to thank since she went to bat for him with the judge and it made all the difference. John tells him that he and Marlena are so happy that Brady and Chloe are back together again.

Roman assures that they are going to find a cure and he knows Kate believed that when she checked herself out of the hospital. Kate wishes she still felt that way, but it’s hard to be optimistic when she keeps feeling worse. Kate doesn’t see how they can find a cure when they don’t know what’s wrong. Rex encourages that they will and they are on it. Rex says Roman gave him all the information so he’s gone over all of it. Rex adds that he will confer with other doctors but he’s pretty sure it’s not a natural pathogen. Roman asks if he’s saying this could be man made by Orpheus. Rex says he could be proven wrong, but right now he thinks Orpheus created this in a lab.

Kristen tells Dr. Rolf that all he has to do is kidnap Chloe, bring her here, and then zap her love for Brady out of her brain and strengthen her love and feelings for Stefan. Dr. Rolf says it’s out of the question. Kristen argues that he did it with Stefan and that she’s simply asking him to make he and Chloe’s feelings reciprocal. Kristen yells at him to get on it and get started now. Dr. Rolf repeats that it’s out of the question.

Steve and Stephanie go to Kayla’s hospital room. Stephanie hugs Kayla and apologizes for not being there sooner. Kayla says it’s okay as she didn’t want Steve to worry her. Kayla says she wants to go check on Marlena but they tell her that she has to take care of herself too. Steve assures her that Marlena is getting top notch care. Steve decides he will go check with Marlena to make Kayla feel better while Stephanie stays with Kayla.

Chloe tells Stefan that Brady forgot her birthday because he has so much going on right now too as he’s at the hospital with John because Marlena is very sick. Stefan apologizes as he didn’t know. Chloe adds that Brady also just went through a brutal custody battle with Stefan’s sister that was very stressful for him. Stefan asks if Kristen won. Chloe says she didn’t but the whole fight took a toll on Brady and now Marlena has a horrible disease. Stefan says he will definitely pray for Marlena as she was always kind to him even though he was not kind to her. Stefan admits he regrets locking Marlena up in the DiMera tunnels secret room. Stefan decides that Chloe has made it abundantly clear that she is in love with Brady, so he’s not going to push it and won’t pop in anymore. Stefan apologizes if he made her feel uncomfortable. Chloe is sure it’s not easy coming back after four years. Stefan assures he will get over it eventually. Stefan hopes they can still be friends.

Dr. Rolf asks Kristen if she forgot they were recently pardoned. Kristen argues that she is the one who got him the pardon. Dr. Rolf says he’s grateful but he does not want to return to prison and he already put his freedom at risk by conditioning Stefan. Kristen argues that no one knows about that and they only know he kept Stefan alive for four years and brought him back with a new heart so he’s in the DiMeras good graces. Dr. Rolf wants to stay that way and play by the rules, so he strongly advises she do the same. Kristen questions sitting back and letting Chloe steal her life. Dr. Rolf worries that if Kristen kidnaps Chloe, they will send her back to prison. Kristen argues that the cops in town are too stupid to catch her. Dr. Rolf points out that she would end up on the run again and would never see Rachel again. Kristen complains that Brady won’t let her see Rachel now and blames Chloe for convincing him to cut her out of the picture. Kristen declares that she won’t stand for that and she will have her family back. Dr. Rolf knows how determined she is but he is equally determined to hold on to his freedom. Dr. Rolf declares that if Kristen wants to kidnap and brainwash Chloe, she’ll have to do it without him.

Rex asks if Kate thinks Orpheus has access to a lab. Kate doesn’t know why not since he has resources all over the world. Rex feels this would have to be local. Roman points out that Orpheus and Dr. Rolf were pardoned on the same day. Rex questions if he thinks that crazy bastard is involved in this. Roman points out that they teamed up before. Rex says Dr. Rolf is known to engineer things. Rex recalls when Roman was sick in South America. Roman notes that was 25 years ago. Rex says it would be a bizarre coincidence but he wonders if Kate, Marlena, and Kayla could have the exact same illness.

Kristen pleads with Dr. Rolf to be reasonable. Dr. Rolf feels he’s done enough for her already and begs her to leave him to his work. Kristen comments on everything he does being expensive. Kristen offers an infusion of cash to fuel his grand ambitions. Kristen says if Dr. Rolf helps her with Chloe, she’ll make it worth his while. Dr. Rolf says she’s wasting their time. Kristen tells him to think about what he can do with all that money. Dr. Rolf refuses to make Chloe a subject. Kristen then argues that he’s dishonoring Stefano’s memory by refusing to help her. Dr. Rolf thinks Stefano would respect that he has far more important things to deal with than her love life. Kristen asks like what. Dr. Rolf then informs her that Orpheus broke in and stole a deadly toxin. Kristen argues that Orpheus is back behind bars so it’s not like he can do anything with it. Dr. Rolf responds that she’s wrong because he already has.

Stephanie can’t believe Orpheus did this to Kayla. Stephanie brings up Steve warning her that he was a serious threat and she just thought he was being overprotective. Kayla starts coughing so Stephanie asks if she should get a nurse. Kayla says a nurse can’t help her but having her there is lifting her spirits, so she is all she needs. Stephanie thinks they need to call Joey and Tripp to let them know what’s going on. Kayla doesn’t want them jumping on a plane. Stephanie says they will as soon as they find out she’s in the hospital and she can’t stop them. Kayla asks Stephanie to put a positive PR spin on this.

Brady and John come out from the chapel and run in to Steve at the hospital. Steve says he just talked with Dr. Patel, who said there has been no change and all they can do now is treat the symptoms. Steve says they just have to hope the ISA will come through with answers. John wants to go confront Orpheus at the police station but Steve reveals he tried that yesterday and almost killed him. Brady questions what happened. Steve says Orpheus pushed his buttons until he lost it, so if John goes now, the same thing will happen and it won’t help. John complains that they need something to go on. Steve feels someone is going to crack this open soon.

Roman questions Rex thinking that Kate, Kayla, and Marlena could have the same illness that he had 25 years ago. Rex calls it a hunch but thinks it’s worth looking in to. Roman points out that the circumstances couldn’t be more different since he was undercover with the ISA on another continent. Rex points out that he was exposed to a deadly toxin and he thinks it could be the same. Kate agrees that it makes a strange sort of sense since Orpheus’ vendetta begins with Roman as he targets him for his wife’s death. Roman admits that Orpheus did seem to single him out in the Pub. Rex says this would be poetic justice for Orpheus. Rex wants to compare Roman’s medical records from back then to Kate, Kayla, and Marlena’s. Roman gives Rex his permission. Rex tells Kate that they will figure this out and she will be cured of whatever this is. Rex says goodbye to them and exits for the hospital.

Stephanie calls Joey and tells him about Kayla. Stephanie assures that if she thought he needed to come, she would have booked his ticket already. Stephanie tells Kayla that Joey wants to talk to her but Kayla says no. Stephanie then claims that one of Kayla’s doctors just walked in and promises to call Joey back, then hangs up. Stephanie tells Kayla that she can’t put them off forever. Kayla knows she hates lying to them. Stephanie questions why Kayla didn’t want to talk to Joey. Kayla says she doesn’t feel well and he would hear it in her voice while she feels she needs to be strong. Stephanie hugs her as they cry.

Rex goes to the hospital and greets John and Steve. Rex informs them that he has a hunch about what’s going on with Kate, Kayla, and Marlena but he needs to get on a computer to look up old records. Steve is sure Kayla wouldn’t mind him using her office. Rex says he won’t be long because he knows what he’s looking for. John asks if there is anything they can do. Rex tells them to stick around because if he’s correct, he might need their help.

Dr. Rolf informs Kristen that Orpheus stole this toxin and then used it to make Marlena, Kate, and Kayla very sick. Kristen realizes that’s what John meant when he said Marlena could be dying. Kristen asks if it’s really that bad. Dr. Rolf responds that she should not be surprised since she’s seen this illness before when it almost killed Roman. Kristen questions him saying that the women have the same illness that Roman had 25 years ago. Dr. Rolf confirms that and if anything happens to them, he could be blamed since Orpheus stole the toxin from him. Dr. Rolf declares that now she can understand why he doesn’t have time for her ridiculous obsession with Chloe.

Stefan asks Chloe if he can still give her his birthday gifts as a friend. Stefan gives her a bottle of champagne and suggests they have a toast. Chloe thinks it’s a little early, so Stefan offers her a mimosa which Chloe admits does sound good. Stefan pours their glasses and toasts to the most extraordinary woman he’s ever met. Brady then walks in to see them having drinks together. Brady questions what the hell is going on here. Stefan says he’d expect Brady to comment on it being amazing that he’s alive. Brady says he’s glad to see that but he’s not glad to see him with his girl having drinks. Chloe clarifies that it’s okay as Stefan knows she and Brady are in a relationship and that they were just establishing that they are just friends. Stefan adds that he just came by to wish his friend a happy birthday. Brady realizes he forgot her birthday. Chloe tells him it’s okay as she doesn’t like making it a big deal. Brady apologizes and promises they will do something fun tonight. Stefan comments that he’d ask Brady to join them in a toast but he’s still not drinking. Brady wants some alone time with his girl so Stefan agrees to get out of his hair. Stefan tells Chloe happy birthday and that he’ll see her sometime soon. Stefan finishes his drink and then exits the room.

Dr. Rolf tells Kristen that so far, no one knows he was in possession of that toxin, but if it were ever traced back to him then he’d be in a world of trouble. Kristen questions what the hell he was doing with it anyways. Dr. Rolf says he was preserving it for research purposes and never meant to hurt anyone. Kristen points out that he did and if anything happens to Marlena, Rachel would be devastated. Kristen adds that Dr. Rolf saved Roman once when Stefano instructed him to come up with a cure. Dr. Rolf recalls Stefano offering to trade the cure from his freedom from prison. Kristen remembers them bringing John and Hope to his lab. Dr. Rolf says only Stefano’s brilliant mind could conceive the projects he had him working on. Kristen reminds him of how he perfected the cure for Roman and says he cured this disease once before, so she asks if he can do it again.

Rex shows John and Steve the lab results of Roman’s from 25 years ago which are very similar to Marlena, Kate, and Kayla. Rex admits the symptoms are slightly different but Orpheus infected them with a very serious toxin so he thinks the best way to treat this illness is the same way they treated Roman’s and to pray that it cures them.

Stefan returns to the DiMera Mansion and tells the portrait of Stefano that he’s making progress and taking it one step at a time. Stefan declares that he will win because whenever he wants something, he goes after it with a vengeance and he wants Chloe Lane, so he will not stop until she’s his.

Brady questions Stefan just showing up and not even calling. Chloe confirms that he did. Brady is sure Stefan was happy that he wasn’t there and that he forgot her birthday. Chloe assures it’s okay as he has so much going on. Chloe asks how Marlena is doing. Brady says it’s not good as her symptoms are getting worse just like Kate and Kayla. Brady worries about if they don’t find a cure as Chloe hugs him.

Stephanie talks to Kayla about how she used to take care of her when she was sick, so now she wants to take care of her. Stephanie calls it a rare opportunity to take care of her and says she loves her so much.

Roman tells Kate that he just got a text from Rex and he’s in to the hospital system. Roman encourages Kate that he has total confidence that Rex can help her. Kate hopes so as she doesn’t know how much longer she can hold on. Roman tells her not to give up as she has to hang on for him and her kids. Roman says he loves her way too much to let her give up.

Kristen comments on Dr. Rolf looking exhausted. Dr. Rolf responds that he’s been working around the clock. Kristen asks him to tell her what he’s been working on. Dr. Rolf decides that he will instead show her.

John tells Rex that curing Roman was a bit more complicated than just getting a prescription because he and Hope had to go through the jungle to find the rare orchid that Dr. Rolf used for the serum. Steve declares that they need to get their hands on one of those orchids then.

Dr. Rolf presents the orchid to Kristen as the key to bringing Marlena, Kate, and Kayla from the brink of death. Dr. Rolf declares that this can save their lives.
