Update written by Joseph

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

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

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

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

Xander drags Susan out of the DiMera Mansion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

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

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

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

Timmons? I don’t think so.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So go ahead. Have a look.

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

Oh.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

as a plot twist. Um,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That doesn’t even make any sense. Alex.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Okay.

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

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

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

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

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

I promise you won’t regret it.

Okay. Obviously there’s an attraction between us

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I won. Yeah.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and of course my amazing husband, mayor Abe Carver.

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

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

Julie.

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

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

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

Hi

Chad. Paulina just gave me the rest of the night off, so you’re a free man. Great. I’m glad I could help. You ready? Yes, just in time for our reservation to bistro. Thanks again for your help. Chad. Couldn’t have done it without you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Don’t even think.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You gonna get over by

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

Charlie, what are you doing here?

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

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

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

Maggie wrote you a check. Yes. Why?

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

I don’t remember.

Oh, okay.

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

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

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

might say that?

Well, There she is.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sarah, don’t go yet.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I’m trying to.

I just wish it didn’t hurt so much.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I don’t worry Animals. Hm.

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

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

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

Huh? I’m just.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

, you want me to be the model? I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before. I mean, the energy in the photos you took of Nicole, that’s one thing, but seeing this live and in person, camera’s gonna eat this up. Okay. I, I’m not so sure about this. Oh, well I am. Look, Brady was fine, but the chemistry, Luke warm, you two are gonna be blazing hot together.

He, you said you still care about me. I do. And then I said that, you know, moving Kristen into your home two seconds after we break up. That’s a real funny way of showing it. And you said if there was any other way, what were you talking about, Brady? Any other way to do what? Chloe? Hey, glad I found you guys, Lee.

Um, hi. Um, what’s going on? Is there a problem at Corporator? More like an opportunity. Oh, okay. What can I do? Actually, I came to speak to Ms. Lane.

Ms. Hernandez Ali set me out with these wedding cake samples for you to try. Oh, thank you. Yes, they, they look great. Did you wanna wait for your fiance? That’s okay. Um, you could just leave them with me. He’ll be here soon. . Oh, I think I see him right there.

So let me get this straight. You heard your brother say that he shipped Ralph outta the country? Well, that’s what he told you, aunt Kristen. She didn’t sound too happy about it. Did he say why he did it? Kristin accused Lee of working with your dad. She assumed it was all part of e j’s. But Lee didn’t admit it.

Not exactly, but she thought I’m pretty convinced. So it’s gotta be more on the right track. Yeah, I guess, um, I guess looks like we just need to figure out where your brother sent, Ralph Lee left a bunch of papers he was working on here. Maybe I can find something.

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

No, this isn’t my fiance. It’s my ex-husband. Oh, I’m sorry. I just assumed. No worries. Yeah, we were married briefly. Didn’t work out so well, Lee. The groom should be here any minute, so thank you for these samples. They look great.

I mean, you’re looking for Candy Halloweens over. I’m aware. I’m looking for Chloe hoping to take her to lunch. Oh, how nice of you. Yeah. Stop by her room at the end. She wasn’t there, so I’m assuming she’s in the office today. Okay. So why are you telling me this? Because I was hoping that she would share her candy stash with me.

But I might as well have a piece of what’s all this

corporate has been very impressed with the work you’ve been doing here at Basic Bluff. Oh wow. Well, that’s nice to hear. You know, it’s true. Ever since you took over management of domestic sales profits have taken off. Well, she’s the best. I could have told you that Indeed, which is why I’m here. We’d like you to use that talent and expertise in, in a broader way.

So I’ve come to offer you a job at damara. Really? At Damara. Oh, hold on. You want, you want Chloe to go work with you at the corporate office? Don’t worry, Brady. We already have a large pool of qualified applicants to fill Ms. Lane’s position here at basic. Assuming she accepts my offer. Oh, wow, Lee. Um, I wasn’t expecting this.

I’m sorry. I don’t know what to say. . I do. Kristen put you up to this, didn’t she?

I don’t believe we’ve met. I’m EJ d. Yes, of course. I know who you are. Mr. Damara. Wendy. Wendy. Is that my dad? Is he there with you? Yes, this is my new boss. Better go, please soon. I’m so sorry about that. I’m Wendy Shin. Nice to meet you, Langley. I’ve heard so much about you. I hope I wasn’t interrupting your conversation.

Not at all. Oh, good. So tell me, who are you talking to?

First of all, Mr. Black. Chris and Damara doesn’t. Order me to do anything. Ah, come on. Kristin’s been dying to get Chloe and me away from one another. And although Chloe does deserve promotion, this says Chris had written all over it. It’s her style. You even where about the case? Miss Damara no longer has a position at this company.

Wait, she doesn’t work at Damara anymore. Ej um, relieved her of her duties, so I can assure you it. We’re offering you this job entirely on your own merit.

So what do we say? Do I have my models? Are we shooting a cover or what? Okay, Alex, I, I don’t think this is such a good idea. Why not? Nicole? You saw the photos there took of you. I mean, I already told you you were born for this, obviously, but when you two are together, you create. Magic. Yeah. When I was shooting the photos, maybe.

But who’s gonna shoot the cover? If I’m in front of the camera, I’ll do it. You are you enough photographer? I have a ridiculous, a good eye. Well, it doesn’t matter about your eye. What? Okay, look. Do you even have experience doing a photo shoot like this? I interned at the photo department at Bella directly outta college.

That was more than a few years ago. Looks like riding a bike. Listen, I know this is your magazine, but I’m guessing you don’t want to spend money on a reshoot. If this doesn’t work, it’s all good. This may not be the finished product anyway. What? Yeah, I wanna take some test shots, see if my theory stands correct and if it comes out.

Great as I think it will. Who knows? We might have a whole campaign on our hands. So this is just proof of concepts exactly, but a hell of a concept. First things first, we gotta get you into wardrobe. I have just the right thing for you, pal.

What exactly is this job that you’re offering me? My man? I need you, Alex. Listen, I, I’ve been rethinking this whole photo shoot thing. I really don’t want to be on the cover. Good. Because I’m replacing you just gotta get you outta that suit. What? Come on. Come on. I’ll explain On the.

Since you are so curious, these are my samples for my cake, for my wedding. Oh, your cake, your wedding. Uh, sorry, but I, I thought that the couples were supposed to make these decisions together or does your fiance not get to have an opinion? Lee had something to take care of this morning, but he’ll be here any minute.

Ah, sure. He. What was that? What was what? No, you just said, sure. He will like you. Don’t believe me. Why do you care? Because it’s annoying and insulting. You know what? Just say what you need to say. Just curious what Lee’s priorities are. That’s all. You don’t need to be curious because Lee understands we need to do this right away.

Why right away? Because we wanna get married as soon as possible. Why the rush all of a sudden, oh, well there is no rush. But there’s also no reason to wait now that your feelings for me are dead and buried.

It was just work, friend, not on the phone. Just now. I’m just friend from back home. I hope you don’t mind that I was making a personal. Company time, it’s fine. Well, I may secretly wish I could keep my staff chained to their desk during working hours. I understand that employees have their own lives. Oh, we appreciate that

And, uh, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it the middle of the night in Hong Kong right now it is. But my friend lives in Fairbanks or used to be stationed. Uh, yes. I’d forgotten that your father and brother had exiled you to the frozen north. They hadn’t. But I’m very happy to be here at Damara HQ in the room where it happens, so to speak.

I guess Fairbank isn’t exactly the center of the action. You could say that. I can understand why you’d be so eager to move on. From everything I’ve heard, you’re quite the go-getter. I like to think I’m a hard worker. And ambitious too. I gather. I couldn’t help overhearing that. You seem quite curious about your brother’s papers.

Was there something specific you were looking for?

Guess? You probably heard me on the phone before, huh? No, no. I gotta admit, I’m a little worried now that my dad walked in on Wendy while we were talking. I don’t think she can handle herself, but uh, I think you can agree. It can be a little intimidating. I know you probably wouldn’t approve of what I’m doing right now, but look, if, if my dad and Shin did do something, Stephan, then they shouldn’t get away with it.

Right? And I know my dad is your son, but so is Stephan and he, he even carries your name. That has to mean something. And you always said nothing’s more important than family. And family should never turn on. Hey, sure. Oh, I couldn’t agree with you more.

I guess you, uh, heard me talking to Nono just now? No. No. Nope. Nope. Oh, I mean, yeah. Is, I mean, you know, there’s be ashamed of, I mean, I talked to plenty of my relations that are passed down to the other side. You do? Oh, yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, We, I tell ’em my problems. We talk about current events and you know, I even, um, I share my recipes and beauty tips.

Okay. Hey, you know what? There’s no reason that you shouldn’t, you know, talk to your granddaddy. Um, uh, I mean, if it helps, it’s just, I wanna warn you, I wouldn’t listen to a word he says, cause that man that is just million, million mind, well, you, you don’t have to worry about that grandma. He doesn’t actually, you know, talk back, so, oh, he does.

You, oh, I mean, my elders, they talk back to me. Oh, the time. I mean, she’s like, yep, yep, yep, yep. I mean, even when I’m trying to sleep, they keep talking to me. Well, I’m. I’m sorry to hear that, but hey, I’m, it’s, it’s, it’s nice to have you back here in Salem. I’ve, uh, I’ve missed you. Oh, my grandma. Something wrong.

You know what? I just think my connection just got clear. Bad connection. Yes. Whew. Spirits that just sent me a message that include me. Oh. Great baby. You really are out to get your daddy, aren’t you?

I wasn’t looking for anything specific in my brother’s papers. Just try to drag him into the 21st century. Where was he before? Who knows? I mean, look at all. As much as I’ve tried to convince Lee to join us in the digital age, he’s much too loyal to our father to fully take that leap. Hmm. I have heard that way.

Like’s the older way of doing things. I’ve given up on changing my father. Well, let’s not get started about his opinions on women in power, but the man doesn’t believe anything is real unless it’s written on a piece of paper. He can hold in his hand and he feels the same way. Well, he’s his father’s son in many.

Of course then he can never find anything when he needs. It Sounds like you’re trying to help him get organized. Well, I decided one of my first acts in Salem would be to finally force my brother to save some trees and embrace the cloud, you know, to preserve his sanity. If nothing else, I, no BOGO besides, must be a huge security risk to have all this confidential information just lying around.

Sounds like your brother was very lucky to have. As far as the company’s security is concerned, you need not worry. Why is that? Because your brother’s papers are all in this building and only people with clearance have access to the executive floor, and we have no reason to suspect anyone working with Lee, including his very own sister.

I’m not trying to pressure you, Chloe. I know this offer must seem. I just didn’t realize I was even on your radar. Well, since the change of leadership, EJ and I have been trying to reevaluate our entire leadership structure, we’re going to rebuild the team of superstars. Oh, wow. Well, I am, I’m flattered. Uh, but don’t you have enough people in house who are just as qualified?

Maybe, but I believe in fresh voices, and I believe you could bring a new energy and creativity to the entire Dara Enterprise Executive Suites. You really think so? Well, I, I wouldn’t have made the offer if I didn’t, and this is coming from you and EJ alone. I told you Kristen has nothing to do with the company anymore.

That’s not who I was talking about. Mm. You’re asking about Stephan. I’m well aware of his romantic interest in you, and if I’m being honest, it’s one I’m happy to encourage. Excuse me. I believe in honesty, Chloe, and I would be lying if I said I wouldn’t like to see Stephan involved with someone. Someone who isn’t Gabby, your fiance,

Well, I’m not proud of the impulse, but when your bride to BE’S husband comes back from the dead, let’s just say one, can’t help but be a little, um, insecure. Yeah, I get that. But if you think that I’m gonna. Suddenly start working at Damara, and then Stephan and I are gonna, oh, it’s none of my business one way or the other.

Stephan, and your proximity is a fringe benefit, but I assure you this offer is about business. Stephan does nothing about it. So does this mean that you can finally accept I don’t love you anymore. Finally, yeah, I got tired of banging my head against them while hoping you’d remember. Remember my feelings.

Yes. Well, that was before I tracked Dr. Wolf down. You found him? Yeah. Charged into his lab and demanded he Tell me what he did to you to make you stop loving me.

What’d he say? Well, he said he saved your life, but that he’d done nothing to mess with your head or make you hate me. I see. And you believed him.

Why wouldn’t I believe Ralph? I mean, he has no reason to lie to me. Right. None that I can think of. You know, I’m glad you found Ralph because now you know that he did nothing to influence my feelings. And maybe you can move on from the past and we can go our separate ways. Yeah, we can, honestly, we don’t ever have to see each other’s faces again.

Right.

Hey, what? What the hell are you doing? I’m hungry and I figured maybe you could use an outside opinion. Well, I don’t care about your opinion on my cake or anything else. This is for me and my groom. Right? Your groom. You know I was your groom once and the way I see it, you denied me my rightful cake. What are you talking about?

When we were married, we didn’t even have a wedding reception. You kicked me out the way I. As soon as we set our I dos, so obviously our wedding was nothing but a sham. A way for you to get revenge on me. You like to pretend that we had this grand love story, but there was no love involved. No, no, no, no.

Our wedding day was completely meaningless. That is not true.

Listen, I know this is, I don’t know how we got it. Into this mess. You go first. No, you please. I was just gonna say, it seems that Alex pretty determined for us to take these pictures. Yeah. You even went to go get your wardrobe. Yeah. Are you okay with this? No. No. Not, not at all. I haven’t even told Reef that you took photos of me before and now we’re gonna be together on the cover of Bella.

Maybe. I mean, it’s just proof concept, right? Yeah, that’s what they all say. You know, we don’t have to do anything we don’t want to do. And the last thing I want to do is cause any trouble for you and ra. Just say the word and I will tell Alex to find another way to recreate his magic. Grandma, we already went over this.

I told you I was not dressed up as some crazy clown last night. Okay? All right. And I, I still believe you. I mean, I’m not getting any bojo vibes, right. Thank you. I, I think, well, honey, I, I know you’re up to something. I just, I wish you’d stop Fus footing around and tell grandma what its, I don’t know what you’re talking about, sweetheart.

I love you more than the king loves Lisa Marie, but I love my son just as much and he’s my baby boy. And I don’t want you to hurt him. I’m not doing, I’m not doing anything to him. Okay? He’s the one who did something wrong.

Of course, you’re right. My brother’s papers are completely secure in this office. Why do I get a sense there’s a box? Well, I guess I’m just a detailed oriented person. And as long as Lee’s beholden to his paper mistress, he won’t be able to work as efficiently as he could, his paper mistress. I’m just trying to help and I appreciate that.

I can see that the reports about your work ethic were correct. Thank you. No, thank you. I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of each other. I hope so. Lovely meeting you Miss Shin. Welcome aboard and if there’s anything you need, please don’t hesitate. Uh, now that you mention it, I was actually wondering if I could access the records for the Demer jet.

The Jet were full. Well, I promised I would put all of my brother’s expense reports on the accounting server, assume he is authorized to use the jet. Of course, all upper level executives are, I figured unfortunately, Lee’s expense reports are a little less than detailed, so if I could cross reference them against Dara’s internal records, I could reconcile exactly when used the jet.

And this is something that accounting. Well, apparently they’ve been wanting to ping me about this for a while, but considering his position, they’re more than happy to let his sister be the bad guy, something like that. Plus, since most of Lee’s travels or at regular intervals, I can install a new algorithm to prompting when to input any new data, so, okay.

Okay. I don’t need to hear any more details, but I will be more than happy to get you into the system.

You’re trying to tell me that your father, but dear Sweet Elvis sprain washed his own brother. I’m not a hundred percent sure, but all the evidence seems to point in that direction. Okay. But what I mean, why would he do something like that to his own Flushy blood? He barely even knows Stephan. Right. And as important as family is to my dad, his legacy.

Mean, he did everything he possibly could to push Gabby out so he could take Damara back. If Stephan comes back and sides with Gabby, they have more than enough shares to stay on top. Mm. But that still leaves the Elvis on the o place that he does not like to be. She’s saying that, um, my baby had, uh, Dr.

Roth, that nasty Dr. Ralph tinker with Stephan’s brain, so he would stop loving. And if it’s true, Stephan has a right to know. And soda’s Gabby, I thought she was, uh, gonna marry that Lee Feller. Yeah, because she thinks Stephan despises her. Oh, that’s just terrible. Oh my goodness. I mean, I mean, if she really does still love him and, and deep down, Stephan still loves.

I mean, we can’t let her marry the wrong kind. No, I mean, because love is God’s greatest gift of mankind, and we can’t let anyone stand in the way of true love. That’s exactly right. So you agree with me? I need to take down my dad to make things right for Stephanie and Gabby. Hold on, hold on, hold on. What?

Hmm? What is it are trying to tell me that. Feel so strongly you’re doing all this stuff because you feel so strong about Gabby and Stephan’s love. Yeah. Why else would I do it? Oh, honey, , you doing it for revenge because your daddy kicked a out on the I know, I know that you said that you, you’re gonna make them pay.

So you admit that marrying me was only an act of revenge? Yeah. And you framed me for Andre’s murder. Yet you want me to believe that our wedding meant something to you? It did. How am I supposed to believe that? Why? Why? Why are we doing this? What does it matter? Just want to. Okay, fine. Yes. I, I wanted revenge for what you’d done to me, other than thinking about coming home to my daughter.

It’s the only thing I thought about in prison, and then when I got out, duping you into marriage was, you know, a good way to ruin your life. Yeah, wonderful. But I was the one that ended up being duped myself. Why are, why are we doing this right now? Well, I don’t know. Closure. Look, nobody’s forcing you to answer.

Okay. For the sake of closure. Well, I was plotting against you. Yes. I started to have feelings for you and I didn’t wanna admit it. You fell in love with me. Yes. But I mean, I still hated you. I mean, what you did to me was unforgivable. Because of your obsession with AKA’s. Altered Gabby. I went to prison. I was viciously beaten because of that.

I can’t have any more children.

I’m sorry. So yes, I wanted to get back at you, which believe me, you deserved I was fighting back real feelings. I, I was. This wedding, it was just pure conflict. I mean, I had Harold put silk sheets on the bed. I ordered a cake that we were never gonna eat. It was fantasizing about spending the night with you.

It was dreaming about having this marriage with you for real. And that stupid cake, cutting the stupid cake on our wedding night. So there was a cake? Yes, but it was in the kitchen the entire time. Okay. That night I did cut a sliver of it. I was trying to celebrate my success. Right. How was it? It was delicious.

It was chocolate hazelnut ganache with blood orange jam failing. You know, it was the perfect combination of sweet and just a little bit of bitter exactly the way I like it. Hmm. So, uh, I like this one.

Yeah. I kind of like that one

Hmmhmm.

That is good. Hmm.

Here. You want to try?

What do you think?

Even better than I remember it.

So what do you say, Chloe? You ready to turn the page and start the next chapter?

Susan touches Johnny but then jumps back and says her bad connection just got cleared as the spirits just sent her a message loud and clear. Susan then questions if Johnny really is out to get EJ.

Wendy tells EJ that she wasn’t looking for anything specific in Li’s papers and says she’s just trying to drag him in to the 21st century. Wendy jokes about trying to get Li in to the digital age but he’s too loyal to their father to make that leap. EJ mentions hearing that Wei Shin likes the older way of doing things. Wendy says she’s given up on trying to change his ways and talks about how Li is his father’s son in many ways. EJ guesses Wendy is trying to help Li get more organized. Wendy jokes that it’s one of her first missions in Salem. Wendy adds that it must be a huge security risk to have all this confidential information just lying around. EJ says it sounds like Li is lucky to have her here. EJ adds that she has no need to worry about the company’s security because Li’s papers are all in the building and only people with clearance have access to the executive floor. EJ remarks that they have no reason to suspect anyone including Li’s very own sister.

Li tells Chloe that he’s not trying to pressure her and he knows the offer must seem sudden. Chloe didn’t realize she was even on his radar. Li explains that since the change in leadership, he and EJ have been trying to re-evaluate their entire structure and rebuild a team of superstars. Chloe says she’s flattered but feels there’s enough people just as qualified. Li believes in fresh voices and thinks Chloe could bring a new energy to the entire DiMera team, noting that he wouldn’t have made the offer if he didn’t think so. Chloe questions this coming from Li and EJ alone. Li insists that Kristen has nothing to do with the company anymore. Chloe clarifies that wasn’t who she was talking about. Li realizes she’s asking about Stefan. Li states that he’s aware of Stefan’s romantic interest in her and admits that it’s one he is happy to encourage which Chloe questions. Li explains that he believes in honesty and he would be lying if he said he wouldn’t want to see Stefan involved with someone who isn’t Gabi. Li adds that he’s not proud of the impulse but when his fiancée’s husband comes back from the dead, he can get insecure. Chloe points out that she isn’t going to work at DiMera and then suddenly be with Stefan. Li says it’s none of his business either way and calls it just a fringe benefit. Li assures her that this offer is about business and Stefan knows nothing about it.

Stefan asks if this means Gabi can finally accept that he doesn’t love her anymore. Gabi confirms that she got tired of banging her head against the wall, hoping that he would remember his feelings for her. Gabi informs him that she charged in to Dr. Rolf’s lab and demanded he tell her what he did to make Stefan stop loving her. Stefan questions what he said. Gabi responds that Dr. Rolf said that he saved Stefan’s life but did nothing to make him hate her. Stefan questions Gabi believing Dr. Rolf. Gabi asks why she wouldn’t since he has no reason to lie to her. Stefan says there’s none that he can think of. Stefan is glad she found Dr. Rolf since now she knows that he did nothing to influence his feelings and maybe she can move on from the past and go their separate ways. Gabi agrees and says they don’t ever have to see each other again. Stefan tries to take a cake sample but Gabi questions what the hell he is doing. Stefan argues that he’s hungry and thought she could use an outside opinion. Gabi responds that she doesn’t care about his opinion on anything as this is for her and her groom. Stefan remarks that he was her groom once and she denied him his rightful cake. Stefan recalls that they didn’t even have a wedding reception and that she kicked him out as soon as they were married like it was just a way for her to get revenge on him. Stefan argues that Gabi likes to pretend that they had this grand love story but there was no love involved. Stefan declares that their wedding day was completely meaningless. Gabi says that’s not true.

Eric tells Nicole that Alex seems pretty determined for them to take these pictures and asks if she’s okay with this. Nicole admits she’s not at all and notes that she hasn’t even told Rafe that Eric took pictures of her before and now they’re going to be on the cover of Bella together. Eric points out that they don’t have to do anything they don’t want to do. Eric adds that the last thing he wants is to cause trouble for her and Rafe. Eric tells Nicole to just say the word and he will tell Alex to find another way to recreate his magic.

Johnny tells Susan that he already told her that he wasn’t the clown outside that EJ saw. Susan says she believes him but she knows he’s up to something and wishes he would tell her what it is. Johnny claims not to know what she’s talking about. Susan tells Johnny that she loves him but she loves EJ just as much and she doesn’t want Johnny to hurt EJ. Johnny argues that he’s not doing anything to him while EJ is the one who did something wrong.

Wendy agrees with EJ that Li’s papers are completely secure in this office but she is a detail oriented person and thinks Li won’t work as efficiently if he’s stuck to all the papers. EJ compliments her work ethic and says he’s sure they will be seeing a lot more of each other. Wendy says she hopes so. EJ says it was lovely meeting her and welcomes aboard. EJ tells her to ask if she needs anything. Wendy stops him and asks if she could access the records for the DiMera Jet. EJ asks what for. Wendy explains that she promised to put all of Li’s expense reports on the accounting server. Wendy says Li’s expense reports are less than detailed so she wanted to cross reference with the DiMera jet reports. EJ asks if this is something that accounting is asking for. Wendy claims they’ve apparently been wanting to for awhile but haven’t considering Li’s position. Wendy adds that she could install a new algorithm for future data. EJ says he would be more than happy to get her in to the system.

Susan questions Johnny telling her that EJ brainwashed his own brother. Johnny clarifies that he’s not 100% sure but all the evidence points in that direction. Susan questions why he would do that to his own flesh and blood. Johnny points out that EJ barely knows Stefan and as important as family is to him, his legacy means more. Johnny brings up that EJ did everything he could to push Gabi out and take DiMera back, but if Stefan came back on Gabi’s side, they would have more than enough shares and EJ would be left out. Susan questions EJ having Dr. Rolf tinker with Stefan’s brain so that he would stop loving Gabi. Johnny declares that if it’s true, Stefan and Gabi have a right to know. Susan thought Gabi was marrying Li. Johnny says that’s because Gabi thinks Stefan despises her. Susan says that’s terrible if Gabi and Stefan still love each other. Susan declares that they can’t let Gabi marry the wrong guy because love is God’s greatest gift so they can’t let anyone stand in the way of that. Johnny asks if Susan agrees then that he needs to take down EJ for Stefan and Gabi. Susan stops him and asks if he’s telling her that he is doing all of this because he feels so strongly about Gabi and Stefan’s love. Johnny asks why else he would do it. Susan guesses he’s doing it for revenge because EJ kicked Ava out on the street. Susan adds that she knows Johnny said he was going to make EJ pay for it.

Stefan asks if Gabi is admitting that marrying him was an act of revenge. Gabi goes along with it and brings up that he framed her for Andre’s murder. Stefan questions her wanting him to believe that their wedding meant something to her. Gabi says it did. Stefan asks how he’s supposed to believe that. Gabi asks why they are doing this and why it matters. Stefan says he just wants to know. Gabi talks about wanting revenge for what he did to her while she was in prison and says that duping him in to marriage was a good way to ruin his life, but she is the one who ended up duped. Stefan asks how so. Gabi questions again why they are doing this. Stefan calls it closure but points out that nobody is forcing her to answer. Gabi admits that she started to have feelings for him while plotting against him and she didn’t want to admit it. Gabi says she fell in love with him but still hated him for what he did because of his obsession with Abigail’s alter “Gabby”. Gabi brings up how she got viciously beaten in prison and now can’t have any more children. Stefan tells her that he’s sorry. Gabi repeats that she wanted to get back at him which he deserved but she was fighting back real feelings. Gabi talks about the wedding planning and fantasizing it being real. Gabi tells him about the wedding cake she had. Stefan points out it being like one on her sample platter and takes a bite. Stefan says it’s good and then asks if Gabi wants to try. Gabi takes a bite and he asks what she thinks. Gabi calls it even better than she remembers it.

Li asks Chloe if she’s ready to turn the page and start the next chapter of her life by joining them at DiMera Corporate. Brady returns so Li jokes about not having a meeting like this in the hallway. Alex thanks Brady again for the suit and promises he won’t regret it as he declares that this is exactly what Bella and Basic Black need.

Eric tells Nicole that this is her last chance if she wants to tell Alex that they want to bail on the photoshoot. Alex comes back in and asks if they are ready. Alex then guesses they don’t want to do it. Eric admits they have concerns. Alex insists the cover will be killer and says they both have inspirational stories which is exactly what they need to revitalize Bella and Basic Black. Alex asks if they want to make history or what. Nicole then agrees to do shoot the cover.

Chloe tells Li that she’s loved working at Basic Black and she’s really proud of what she’s accomplished and with Brady. Brady notes that they make a good team. Chloe states that they did, but she thinks she’s ready for something new. Chloe appreciates the offer and tells Li that she’s going to take it. Chloe doesn’t know exactly what the job is but she’ll take it. Li calls that wonderful news and says they are happy to have her. Li says he’s running late but his office will be in touch to start the process. Li congratulates Chloe and then walks away. Brady then asks if Chloe is sure about this.

Wendy goes over the DiMera Jet reports and sees the last time Li used it was months ago, before Dr. Rolf left town, unless she’s missing something. Wendy then finds an inquiry where Li had requested the names of all the pilots who have left the company in the last five years and wonders why he would do that. Wendy then goes to the phone and calls the travel department. Wendy explains that she’s going over travel records for Li and is cross referencing other documents, so she asks them to send over the list of former pilots that Li requested. Wendy thanks them and hangs up.

Li arrives in the town square and finds Gabi with Stefan. Li asks if he’s interrupting. Stefan remarks that it’s about time he got there. Li questions what is going on. Stefan responds that Li’s bride has been patiently waiting for him to try all these delicious looking cakes. Li apologizes for being late as his meeting took longer than he thought. Gabi says it’s okay as she was just getting started. Stefan advises not going for the hazelnut because it might start out great, but the after taste is bitter, as he then walks away.

Alex takes photos of Nicole and Eric. Alex praises that they look incredible and make his job easy. Alex then instructs Nicole to look in to Eric’s eyes as he continues taking photos. Alex calls it hot and says it’s magic.

Brady questions Chloe really leaving Basic Black. Chloe guesses she is and admits this isn’t how she saw her day going. Chloe points out that they’ll both still be apart of the DiMera Universe. Brady says she won’t be here. Chloe says it’s probably better considering the current situation. Chloe adds that Li assured her that Stefan had nothing to do with this. Chloe decides she should pack up her things. Brady tells her that he never wanted it to be like this. Chloe starts to cry and questions what he’s talking about since he’s the one who broke up with her and then moved Kristen in to his home. Chloe questions him saying he cares about her and acting like he wants her to stay. Chloe asks what Brady is trying to say or not say to her. Brady says it’s nothing and congratulates her on her new job because she absolutely deserves it. Chloe then walks away, leaving Brady frustrated.

Gabi and Li taste their wedding cake samples. Li likes one of the vanilla and Gabi agrees, saying extra sweet is just what she wants.

Wendy gets the pilot list from travel. Wendy calls Johnny and leaves a message to call her back when he gets this because she got the list of former DiMera pilots so if she can identify which one Li used, then she can track down exactly where Li sent Dr. Rolf. Wendy declares that they will then be one step closer to finding out if EJ and Li did something to Stefan. Wendy hangs up right as Stefan walks in and asks if someone said his name.

Johnny tells Susan that EJ might have done something really wrong and ruined peoples’ lives so it’s a good thing that he’s trying to figure out if that’s true or not. Susan argues that it’s a big if and that Johnny just admitted that EJ might not be guilty. Johnny insists that he’s getting closer to proving it. Johnny adds that Susan can’t say anything about this. Susan questions him asking her to lie to her own son. Johnny says it’s really important and asks Susan to promise she will keep her mouth shut. EJ then walks in and questions keeping her mouth shut about what.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Uh, you know what? We had better get you over to Dara Enterprises if we’re gonna find out what we need to, right? If, uh, my dad and your brother brainwashed my uncle Oh, Johnny. Let you say that to all the girls. Come on. Don’t you think if they screwed with the man’s mind, they deserve to pay for it? Right?

We don’t know what they did. That’s what we’re trying to find out. What, what, what, what’s bothering you? You know, I started all this. Because I wanted to get leverage over my brother to force him to gimme a job, but know that I have the job. You wanna back out? No. I still wanna know what he’s capable of.

Well, I don’t need to find out what my father is capable of. I already know what he’s capable of. What I need is to prove what he did to Stephan so I can bring him down. You see, that’s where you and I are different. You hate your father for what he did to trip’s father. Yeah. Yeah. And, and Stephen. Aunt Chad and whoever else gets in his way.

But I still love my brother. We’re still family.

Yep. Yes, father, uh, I know you had your concerns about it, but I think she deserved the promotion. Yes, I understand. Any mistakes Jing Wynn makes are on my shoulders.

Guess father, and as always, thank you for your.

Is there anything more fun than family business? What are you doing here? Well, aren’t we in a good manner? Yeah. I couldn’t help it over here at the end of your conversation and. It struck me since you’re handing out promotions, maybe you wouldn’t mind giving one to Chloe Lane.

No, mom. I mean it. I understand why Brady felt like he had to break up with me, but I’ll never understand why he would move Kristen into John and Marlena’s house. I just don’t get why he lets that bitch walk all over.

And guess who’ve just walked in?

You say that again? Chloe was trick or treating with Stephan? Yes. Okay. I ran into them at the Wharton Town’s care. Whoa. That must have been awkward. No, it was fine. Always it was awkward. Yeah. Stephan reminded me again that he wants nothing to do with me, which is fine because as far as I’m concerned, he’s yesterday’s mashed potatoes.

Mm-hmm. , you know, I’m with Lee and you know, we’re very happy and we’re gonna get married and we’ll be blissfully happy. Well that’s great cuz marriages always solve everything. So you’re having problems with Nicole. Uh, it’s just, uh, I wish Nicole always as determined to stay away from Eric as you are to move on from Stephan.

Thanks, B. I’ve reached base tags. This must be a monumental occasion. Yes. And we should find a way to market it somehow. What do you say? We call in sick. Mm. I can’t come on. Well, Sean’s away and Ray and I are working on a big investigation right now. And since this is only your second day back at Basic Black since.

I says, Nicole can me. Right, exactly. And you can’t let you know, but regret bringing you back.

Seriously. I’ll get that. You need some clues on.

Hmm.

Nicole speak of the double

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

I need to speak to Eric. Something’s come up. Cool. What? Why didn’t you call? Uh, I tried calling three times, but you didn’t pick up because I had my phone on silent. So what is it? What’s wrong? I don’t know. All I know is we’ve been summoned by the editorial team at Ella, who about the photos that I took of you.

Apparently there’s a problem. But they said they loved the first set. Look, I don’t know what it. They just want us to tighten asap okayed.

Sorry to I. No, you’re not.

Ah, you and Nicole are still fighting about Eric. I thought you were trying to work things out. No, you’re right. You know, I should not have said that because I did tell her it was okay. I told her she should work with Eric and now I just have to put my money where my mouth is. Okay. So maybe this fight was a good thing.

Maybe it cleared the air. Yeah. Oh, Don, you look at that. Wait, what? Well, that’s Lee’s little sister biggest sees with Johnny Damara. I didn’t even know they knew each other. Sure. You’re okay with this? Am I okay with lying on my brother and your dad while trying to make a good first impression at Damara headquarters?

What could go wrong? Look, I, I just, I don’t want you to do anything you don’t wanna do. No, I wanna do this. Okay. Just be careful. All right. Suspicious is my dad’s default mode, and I don’t want him or anyone else finding Apple. We’re up to, hi Wendy. Oh, Kathy, hi. What are you two up to?

Hello is doing a great job at Basic Black, but. I don’t see why I should give her a promotion because the promotion will get her out of basic black, and I want her here as far away from Brady as possible.

Uh, mom. Yeah. I’m gonna have to call you back. I love you. Bye. So how much of that did you hear? Enough to know that you don’t really think that highly of me. Then again, why would you?

I think highly of you as my boss and I shouldn’t have been making personal calls at the office. I’m sorry. That’s a lot of compartmentalizing and a lot of talking when I have so much to do. Um, the Bella, she was almost ready to hit the internet and I’ve gotta get exclusive previews to about 17 different fashion influencers.

Oh yeah, that’s, you love that. Look, Chloe. Um,

this is not how I wanted this to happen. Brady, you, you’ve told me all the reasons before and I don’t need to hear them, especially not at work. Chloe, what you need to know is that this is not, this is not what I wanted. Yeah, it’s what Kristen wanted. Whatever Kristen wants, Kristen gets. I know it seems that way.

It seems that way because it is that way. Oh my God. At the Horton town Square, you were like a little puppet on a string and wheres you and Stephan were. What about. I keep thinking about what he did to Abigail. Okay. And, and you, you are vulnerable. Chloe, you know what? Stop, stop. Rhetorical question. But where the hell do you get off saying any of this to me?

I’m sorry, Kristen, I can’t help you. I don’t have a single position available. Huh. So your sister just happened to snag the last opening in this entire organization. Nepotism much. Uh, what was your last name again? Careful. And it so happens Jing Wen is. Brilliant IT expert, and we need that. We don’t need a fashion consultant, which is what Chloe is.

Right? But why ask me to promote her? Why don’t you just do it yourself? EJ fired me. He can’t forget that I’m back to Gabby instead of him. Then you’re out of luck. Yeah. When my father told me never to rely on luck when threats work so much. You see you’re gonna offer that promotion to Chloe, or I’m gonna tell my old pal Gabby, that you aversion therapy, the love of her life into loathing her.

We’re not up to anything . And how do you even know, Wendy? She just got here. Uh, hi Gabby. Any details on my personal life, just feel free to ask. Oh, right. Yeah. Sorry. You know, you knowing Johnny is just a huge coincidence. Hey, John. A Ray’s going, man. How are you? Good, good, good. See you. Good. Um, Ray, this is Wendy.

She’s Lee’s little sister. This is Ray Hernandez. My favorite ex step. There you go. Nice to meet you. That looks like you and I are gonna be ly related soon. Hey, race, the, uh, police commissioner, so could come in, Andy. Oh, really? How do the two of you know each. Uh, my cousin Joey met her in Seattle. Oh yes, that’s right.

And then you took Joey and Trip as your two dates in Hong Kong, two dates. It’s a long story. Uh, anyway. Yeah. So when Joey told me Wendy was coming to Salem, I offered a show around and he even found me a place to stay. Wow. That is so nice of you. Oh, I was just glad to help. Mm. I just bet you were well.

Alrighty. Uh, I better get going down to the police station. Good to see you. Likewise. Be a stranger. Wendy, nice to meet you. Welcome to say hello.

Uh, I should get going too. I don’t wanna be late on my first day at work. Right. Thank you again for pushing me to get me the job. I really appreciate. Hi Johnny. See you. Uh, well it was good to see you, Gabby. Oh, not so fast. I’m not done with.

Knock, knock. Thanks for coming in on such short notice. Well, your email made it sound like we didn’t have a choice. Were you unhappy with the photos? Uh, listen, I, I’m sorry. For the last minute switch this, something came up with the model and I had to stand in. I think there’s been some miscommunication here.

I love the photos. I think they’re exactly what Bella needs so much. In fact, I wanna put Nicole on the cover.

Hey, I thought I find you here. That’s why I like to prep for my interrogations. No, woke up the atmosphere. You don’t look a bit nervous. I would, would I? Um, you’re going to be questioning the kingpin of one of the midwest’s biggest meth labs, and sitting next to him will be two of the highest paid lawyers that drug money can buy.

This is a summary of the applicable RICO statutes. Oh, seems like someone didn’t get her. Well, Eric brought me a cup, but I didn’t get around to drinking it. Oh, why is that? Uh, just then Nicole dropped by

You want me to be in the cover of Bella? Absolutely. I mean, I was blown away when Bell’s creative director showed me the photos that Eric took of you. These are a game changer. I mean, not that it’s a big surprise. You were obviously one of the biggest models around years ago, but my modeling days are behind me.

Yeah. Not if this is any indication.

I mean, look, this, this just great lighting luck and a, an amazing photographer. She’s being modest. Yeah. That’s an underst. It’s like she’s making love to the camera . Okay. I I, I’m not so sure about that. Oh, okay. Well, I am, I can literally feel the tension in the photos. It’s like electric. I don’t know what the hell it is, but whatever you guys got.

Hey, Eric brings out something very special to you and vice versa.

To state the obvious, you have nothing. And I mean, nothing to say about my personal life, Chloe. I’m just, I’m just worried. Okay. That worried. Worried about what? That the loss of you has rendered me in competent to lead my own life. And you know, I think you should think twice about warning me about Stephan, when you just moved a kidnapping, murdering mask, wearing sociopath into your home.

God, calando, it seems that way. All right. But you, but for what? Brady? Are you finally gonna tell me what the hell is going on?

Don’t get all moral with me. You were part and parcel of brainwashing Stephan from the beginning. It went against my better judgment and you prayed on my devotion to Grady. You can’t pray on a Cobra luck. I did it to protect my family. You did it to get. Like your father before you, you were trying to get control of my family’s company.

You can rewrite history all you want, but the fact remains, we both wanted Stefan with Chloe

Yeah. But you still do. Now that I have ready back in my life, Chloe is no longer a threat to me. And how do you think Brady will take it when he finds out what. Well, he knows I’ll do anything to keep my family intact, so it wouldn’t change anything between us. But that’s not true for you and Gabby, is it?

How do you think she’s gonna take it that you used her husband? The love of her life as a lab animal? I made him hate her in the process.

Is there a. , you tell me because I am not buying what you and Wendy are selling. So what are you two really up to? So you have me up against the ropes? Hmm? Yeah. Well you get there eventually.

Let me see if I have this right. You managed to break up Brady and Chloe. Now the two of you are living together with your. Well, my domestic arrangements are not the issue, right? And you are tightening the thumb screws to make me move Chloe out of basic black. And in here. You know, I have to say, Kristin, You don’t sound like you really believe Chloe’s no longer a threat.

As a matter of fact, you sound like you’re pretty desperate to get her away from Brady. Is your hold over him? Not quite as strong as you hoped it would be. I would tell you something, rebuilding a relationship, it takes time and it’s in the early days for Man Brady, and I just don’t want him to get distracted at work.

I feel the need to remind you that Dara Enterprises is a business, not couples therapy. . You are such hypocrite. Oh my God. So let me just ask you something. How would you feel if, uh, Kathy just found herself working side by side with Stephan?

Look, if you don’t wanna help me, that’s fine. See, I’ll go straight to Wolf and order him to undo Stephan’s programming.

I’m afraid that won’t be. Doctor Rolf has long gone. I made sure of that.

I’m waiting. Brady, if you have something to say, just say it. You have to understand if there had been any other way. What is that? Do great. You’re both here. Yeah. What, uh, what are you doing here? Well, I’m here to put your rag tag business and my magazine back on the map.

Look, Wendy is new in town. I’m just showing our around. Right? Well, it looks like a highly personalized tour Look, I saw the two of you. Okay. It didn’t look like you were talking about where to get your dry cleaning done. Okay. All right. You. There’s more to it than that. What have you done with Ralph?

That’s none of your.

Not that I owe you any explanation, but a member of your family has been apprised of why I needed to get Ralph outta the country so quickly. Oh, and which member of the family is it, ej? Yeah, of course. So now the two of you are in cahoots. How to record this? What was that?

What you doing?

Yeah. I hope I didn’t come across this petty telling you about Nicole coming by this morning. It was business. Something about the shots that Eric took over for the Bella Magazine shots. Really? That’s, uh, well, that’s weird because Nicole gave up modeling years ago. Well, apparently the model they hired didn’t show up and they were on a deadline.

So Nicole stepped in. Eric said the shots were great, so maybe your wife is headed back to the runway. What are you talking about? We have an incredible opportunity to revitalize Bella Magazine for the digital age, all while generating a nice bit of buzz for basic Black’s next collection. All right. That sounds good.

How do we do. By putting Nicole on the cover of Be and Basic Black Couture. That’s a great idea. Don’t encourage him. Chloe, have you talked to granddad about this? Because I’m just saying, no disrespect to Nicole, he kind of hates her. Uh, I don’t think it’s kind of besides, I asked Alex the same question and I will tell you as I told.

I’m in charge of Titan, not Uncle Victor, at least until Sonny gets better. So if I want to put the old man’s gorgeous ex-wife on the cover, there ain’t a damn thing he can say about it.

I knew it. What’s going on between you and Wendy? I am hitting on her in a subtle and charming way. Hmm. I don’t know. You two seemed very intense and Wendy doesn’t seem like your type, aren’t she smart, gorgeous. Seems like my type. It’s true. You went for Chanel, then you went for me, and when I was possessed by the devil.

Okay, then you went for Ava. So yeah, I guess you really don’t have a type. Huh? What can I say? I like what I like. And now you’re pursuing the sister . I wouldn’t say pursuing, but yeah, I’m exploring possibilities. I just, I don’t wanna see either of you get hurt. I don’t wanna see you get hurt either. What is that supposed to mean?

How could I get hurt? Man? Amaya Klutz. I was, uh, I’m trying to take a selfie on my first day of work and I just dropped my phone isn’t, don’t drop the phone like a basic it Principle J one. This is Kristin Damara. So nice to meet you, Mr. Damara. Please just call me Kristin and you could call me Wendy.

People do. Okay. Well, welcome to Damara Enterprises. Wendy. Thank you. I look forward to working for you. Oh, you won’t be working for me. My brother EJ can to me. I’m sorry to hear that. No, don’t be. I still have my shares. Just be thankful that your brother is more loyal than mine. Thing I admire most about Lee is, uh, he’s always mindful of where his loyalties lie, right?

Rightly.

Print magazines have been struggling to remain relevant for years. Guys, it’s not enough to just sell out. News stands anymore. This ain’t the eighties. We gotta break the internet, which is why resurrecting one of Bella’s biggest models from its heyday could do just that. Resurrecting, I wasn’t dead, I just stopped modeling, which was a mistake.

And that last photo shoot, prove. Because whatever’s going on here, I don’t know what the hell it is, but Eric’s photos bring out something special on you, and I want the rest of the world to see it. Okay? If we’re gonna do a photo shoot, I need to start setting up. Oh, I’ll get, uh, makeup and hair and wardrobe for the resurrection.

You’re not gonna let me live that down, are you? Not Anytime soon. You’re not. And you, that is a sharp suit you got there. Oh, thanks. It’s, uh, it’s from Basic Blacks upcoming collection. Actually, the designer called me up and said, uh, wear it around the office, get some feedback. Oh, well here’s my feedback.

That suit is killer. We’re gonna use it in the shoot. Well, I don’t think it’s really my color. Oh no, he’s wearing it. He’s definitely wearing, you think about it, it’ll be like Vogue. You know, back when they used to put couples on the cover. Richard Gears, Cindy Crawford, Kim and Kanye. Cheryl, TEGs and Kermit the Frog.

Yeah. . I’m not a model, Alex know you are. If you want your collection on the cover, Brady, let’s let Eric take a couple of test shots. I mean, what could it hurt? Alex is right. This could give basic lack of boost. I’ve. All right, Mr. Dmi, I’m ready for my close up.

Well, I better get over to my office and start settling in. Nice to meet you Kristin. And you too. Uh, good luck with your new job. Thanks.

Where the hell were we? You can save your, I’m not telling you where Ralph is. Okay, fine. Fine. You know what, then I am just gonna go to Gabby and Stephen and tell them all, all that I know. And, uh, they’re already suspicious. Chloe, too. Oh, by the way, uh, Marlena has reversed Ralph’s, uh, programming on more than one occasion.

Sure she’ll be happy to help recover Stephan’s passion for your fiance, and then the two of them will have control of Damara and you will have Bud Kiss.

What did you mean about not wanting to see me get hurt? I don’t know. I guess I just, I feel kind of responsible for everything. It happened with you and Jake, but devil put me through that. I mean, besides I, I, I did care for Jake, but we are never right for each other. But you and Stephen were right. Yeah. I thought so.

And so did he, but apparently he’s changed his mind and that that doesn’t seem weird to you that such a drastic change. Yeah, of course. It was weird. It, it was so weird. I thought that Ralph had done something to. You know, I was wrong about that. Really? Cause I, I gotta tell you, I, I kind of thought the same thing.

I was so sure I was right. I went off to roll. He told me he did nothing to Stephan other than, you know, bringing him back from the dead and you just took his word for it. I’ve never done that before, but for some reason I felt like he was telling me the truth. And you know what? It doesn’t matter because if Stephen wants to be with Chloe, then he can.

I am with Lee and we’re in love, and we’re gonna be married, and now nothing is gonna stand in the way of my happiness.

All right, I’ll offer Chloe the damn promotion happiness. I’m over the moon and you are going to be too. It won’t be long before that cow Chloe is outta Brady’s life and wants Stephan corrals her. You and Gabby can live happily ever after.

Hey, it’s almost time to, uh, audition the Wedding Cakes at Sweet Bits. Just wanted to make sure you were on your way. I’m sorry. Something came up at work. A personal matter I need to take care of. I’ll be there as soon as I can. Okay? Yeah. Just keep me posted. I said

we don’t just stand. Go over to Basic Black and offer Chloe her dream job,

but I’ll walk you out.

Ah,

hey, how’s it going? Did you find anything else? Yes. You. Johnny, I think we were right.

Arif, I’m sorry. I can tell it’s bothering you that Nicole is modeling again for Eric. I mean, I’m not thrilled about it either. Eric told me that that’s how they got together all those years ago. Yeah, it’s, it’s not so much that she’s model. I says, you didn’t tell me about it. I get that, but maybe she didn’t tell me about it cuz she thought I would act like a jerk because I did act like a jerk when she told me that she had hired Eric.

So you had a fight. Married people, fight. Yeah. You know what the the upside is, is that I learned that I have to trust her and I have to trust. Yeah, so, right. This is great. You know, we, we just, uh, figured this all out. So can we get back to work now?

Hey, Brady, can you do me a favor? Can you look at Nicole, not me, Nicole and I? Yeah. Thank you. There you go. No, smolder. What? Smolder uh, men don’t smolder. Well, they do if they wanna be on magazine covers. I don’t wanna be on a magazine cover . They’re not helping you now? Well, I’m not here to help. I’m in charge.

Okay. I, I gotta take a break. Whoa. Way over now. Where is he? Away.

All right. Nicole Brady, I’m getting outta here. Okay, fine. But what were you trying to tell me before Alex Barton?

Oh, that’s it. You. You’re the one who needs to be in the suit.

You know how to smolder.

I I’ll.

Wait, you want me to be the model? I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before. I mean, the energy in the photos you took of Nicole, that’s one thing, but seeing this live and in person, camera’s gonna eat this up. Okay. I’m not so sure about this. Oh, well I am. Look, Brady was fine, but the chemistry, Luke warm, you two are gonna be blazing hot together.

You said you still care about me. I do. And then I said that, you know, moving Kristen into your home two seconds after we break up. That’s a real funny way of showing it. And you said if there was any other way, what were you talking about, Brady? Any other way to do what? Chloe? Hey, glad I found you guys Lee.

Um, hi. Um, what’s going on? Is there a problem at Corporator? More like an opportu. Oh, okay. What can I do for her? Actually, I came to speak to Ms. Lane.

This Hernandez Ali set me out with these wedding cake samples for you to try. Oh, thank you. Yes, they, they look great. Did you wanna wait for your fiance? That’s okay. Um, you could just leave him with me. He’ll be here soon. . Oh, I think I see him right there.

So lemme get this straight. You heard your brother say that he shipped Ralph out the country. Well, that’s what he told your aunt Kristen. She didn’t sound too happy about it. Did he say why he. Kristen accused Lee of working with your dad. She assumed it was all part of e J’s plan, but Lee didn’t admit it.

Not exactly, but she thought I’m pretty convinced. So it’s gotta be more on the right track. Yeah, I guess, um, I guess looks like we just need to figure out where your brother sent, Ralph Lee left a bunch of papers he was working on here. Maybe I could find something.

Peace

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

No, this isn’t my fiance, it’s my ex-husband. Oh, I’m sorry. I just assumed. No worries. Yeah, we were married briefly. Didn’t work out so well, Lee. The groom should be here any minute, so thank you for the examples. They look great.

I mean, you’re looking for candy Halloween’s over. I’m aware. I’m looking for. I was hoping to take her to lunch. Oh, how nice of you. Yeah. Stop by her room at the end. She wasn’t there, so I’m assuming she’s in the office today. Okay, so why are you telling me this? Because I was hoping that she would share her candy stash with me, but I might as well have a piece of, it’s all this

cool corporate has been very impressed with the work you’ve been doing here at Basic Bluff. Oh, wow. Well, that’s nice to hear. You know it’s true. Ever since you took over, management of domestic sales profits have taken off. Well, she’s the best. I could have told you that indeed, which is why I’m here. We’d like you to use that talent and expertise in, in a broader way, so, I’ve come to offer you a job at Damara.

Really? At Damara Ho. Hold on. You want, you want Chloe to go work with you at the corporate office? Don’t worry, Brady. We already have a large pool of qualified applicants to fill Ms. Lane’s position here at Basic Black, assuming she accepts my offer. Oh wow. Lee. Um, I wasn’t expecting this. I’m sorry. I don’t know what to say.

I do. Kristen put you up to this, didn’t she?

I don’t believe we’ve met. I’m EJ Dara. Yes, of course. I know who you are. Mr. Dara. Wendy. Wendy. Is that my dad? Is he there with you?

Update written by Joseph

Johnny and Wendy get close, then Johnny decides they should get her to work at DiMera Enterprises if they are going to find out if Li and EJ brainwashed Stefan. Johnny feels they deserve to be punished. Wendy points out that they don’t know what they did. Johnny reminds her that’s what they are trying to figure out. Johnny asks her what’s bothering her. Wendy brings up that she started all this to get leverage over Li to force him to give her a job, but now she has the job. Johnny asks if she wants to back out but Wendy says no as she still wants to know what Li is capable of. Johnny points out that he doesn’t need to find out about EJ because he already knows what he’s capable of, but he needs to prove what he did to Stefan so that he can bring him down. Wendy says that’s where they differ since Johnny hates EJ for what he did, but she still loves her brother Li as they are still family.

Li is at DiMera Enterprises, on the phone with his father, talking about giving Wendy a promotion. Li understands any mistakes Wendy makes is on him. Li thanks him for his input and hangs up as Kristen arrives. Kristen says she heard the end of his conversation and says if he’s handing out promotions, maybe he wouldn’t mind giving one to Chloe.

Chloe is at Basic Black, on the phone with her mom and says she understands why Brady felt he had to break up with her but she’ll never understand him moving Kristen in to John and Marlena’s house. Chloe remarks that Brady lets that bitch walk all over him, right as Brady arrives at the office.

Rafe and Gabi have coffee in the town square. Gabi tells him about Stefan trick or treating with Chloe in the town square which Rafe notes must have been awkward. Gabi adds that Stefan reminded her again that he wants nothing to do with her and says that’s fine because as far as she’s concerned, she’s with Li and they are very happy and going to get married. Rafe jokes about that being great like marriages solve everything. Gabi asks if he’s having problems with Nicole. Rafe wishes Nicole was as determined to stay away from Eric as Gabi is to move on from Stefan.

Eric and Jada have coffee in bed together. Eric suggests they call in sick but Jada says she can’t since Shawn is away and she and Rafe are working on a big investigation. Jada adds that it’s only Eric’s second day back at Basic Black so he can’t let Nicole regret bringing him back. Nicole then arrives at the door and is greeted by Jada while Eric goes to put some clothes on. Nicole says she needs to speak to Eric as something has come up. Eric comes out in his robe and questions why Nicole didn’t call. Nicole responds that she tried three times but he didn’t pick up. Eric notes that he had his phone on silent and asks what’s wrong. Nicole says she doesn’t know but they have been summoned by the editorial team at Bella as apparently there’s a problem, but she doesn’t know what it is and they want them at Titan ASAP. Eric goes back to get dressed. Nicole tells Jada that she’s sorry to interrupt but Jada says she’s not.

Gabi questions Rafe about he and Nicole still fighting about Eric since she thought they worked things out. Rafe says they did and he told her that she should work with Eric so now he has to put his money where his mouth is. Gabi encourages that the fight could’ve been a good thing. Gabi then points out Wendy and Johnny walking by and comments that she didn’t even know they knew each other.

Johnny asks Wendy if she’s sure she’s okay with spying on EJ and Li while trying to make a good impression at DiMera. Johnny clarifies that he doesn’t want her to do anything she doesn’t want to do. Wendy assures that she wants to do this. Johnny advises her to be careful since EJ is always suspicious and he doesn’t want anyone finding out what they are up to. Gabi approaches and greets Wendy as she questions what they are up to.

Li tells Kristen that Chloe is doing a great job at Basic Black but he doesn’t see why he should give her a promotion. Kristen points out that the promotion would get her out of Basic Black and she wants Chloe here at DiMera, as far away from Brady as possible.

Chloe tells her mom that she will call her back and hangs up. Chloe asks Brady how much of that he heard. Brady says enough to know that she doesn’t think that highly of him but asks why she would. Chloe says she thinks highly of him as her boss and shouldn’t have been making personal calls at the office, so she’s sorry. Chloe says she has so much to do and mentions that the Bella issue is almost ready to hit the internet so she has to get exclusive previews to fashion influencers. Brady tells Chloe that this is not how he wanted this to happen. Chloe says he told her the reasons before and she doesn’t need to hear them at work. Brady repeats that it’s not what he wanted. Chloe declares that it’s what Kristen wanted and what Kristen wants, she gets. Chloe brings up how Brady was like a puppet on a string in the town square. Brady brings up Chloe being with Stefan and says he keeps thinking about what Stefan did to Abigail and points out that Chloe is vulnerable. Chloe cuts him off and questions where he gets off saying this to her.

Li apologizes to Kristen but says he can’t help her as he doesn’t have a single position available. Kristen asks if Wendy just happened to get the last opening in the entire organization. Li says she is a brilliant IT expert and they need that, not a fashion consultant. Li then questions why Kristen is asking him to promote her instead of just doing it herself. Kristen informs him that EJ fired her because she backed Gabi over him. Li tells her that she’s out of luck then. Kristen brings up that Stefano told her never to rely on luck when threats work so much better. Kristen warns Li to give Chloe that promotion or else she’s going to tell Gabi that he brainwashed Stefan in to loathing her.

Johnny tells Gabi that he and Wendy aren’t up to anything. Gabi questions how Johnny even knows Wendy since she just got here. Wendy tells Gabi that she can ask her about her personal life. Gabi guesses it’s just a coincidence that they know each other. Rafe comes over and greets Johnny. Johnny introduces Rafe to Wendy and calls Rafe his favorite ex-stepdad. Rafe points out that it looks like he and Wendy will be related soon. Johnny points out that Rafe is the police commissioner so that could come in handy. Gabi questions again how Johnny and Wendy know each other. Johnny says that his cousin Joey met her in Seattle. Gabi recalls Wendy taking Joey and Tripp as her two dates in Hong Kong. Johnny questions that but Wendy says it’s a long story. Johnny adds that when Joey told him that Wendy was coming to town, he offered to show her around. Wendy points out that Johnny even got her a place to stay which Gabi says is so nice of him. Johnny says he was just glad to help. Rafe says he has to get going down to the police station and says it was good to see them. Rafe welcomes Wendy to Salem and walks away. Wendy adds that she should get going too so she’s not late for her first day at work. Wendy thanks Gabi again for pushing Li to get her the job as she then walks away. Johnny tells Gabi that it was good to see her but Gabi stops him and says she’s not done with him.

Nicole and Eric go to see Alex at the Titan office. Alex thanks them for coming on short notice. Nicole remarks that his e-mail made it sound like they had no choice. Eric questions if he was unhappy with the photos. Nicole explains that something came up with the model, so she had to stand in. Alex thinks there’s been a miscommunication here because he loves the photos and thinks they are exactly what Bella needs, so much that he wants to put Nicole on the cover.

Jada joins Rafe in the interrogation room at the police station. Rafe talks about preparing for his interrogations. Jada notes that he doesn’t look a bit nervous. Rafe asks why he would be. Jada points out that he’s going to be questioning one of the kingpins of the drug business and he’ll have two of the highest paid lawyers that drug money can buy. Jada gives him a summary file in a folder and then yawns, so Rafe questions if she didn’t get her coffee this morning. Jada informs him that Eric brought her a cup but she didn’t get to drink it because Nicole dropped by.

Nicole questions Alex wanting her to be on the cover of Bella. Alex says he was blown away by the photos that Eric took of her and calls it a game changer. Alex mentions Nicole being one of the biggest models but Nicole says that was years ago. Alex says not if this is any indication as he shows them his tablet. Nicole blows it off as great lighting, luck, and an amazing photographer. Eric states that Nicole is being modest. Alex remarks that it’s like she’s making love to the camera which she laughs off. Alex says he can feel the tension in the photos and it’s electric. Alex comments that whatever they have, they bring out something special in each other.

Chloe tells Brady that he has nothing to say about her personal life. Brady says he’s just worried. Chloe asks if he’s worried that losing him as rendered her incompetent to live her own life. Chloe tells Brady to think twice about warning her about Stefan when he just moved a kidnapping, murdering sociopath in to his home. Brady knows it seems that way. Chloe asks if he’s finally going to tell her what the hell is going on.

Li tells Kristen not to get all moral with him since she was part of brainwashing Stefan from the beginning. Kristen argues that it was against her better judgment and that Li preyed on her devotion to Brady. Kristen says she did it to protect her family while Li did it to get power and control of her family’s company. Li says the fact remains that they both wanted Stefan to be with Chloe. Kristen laughs off that he still does while now that she has Brady back in her life, Chloe is no longer a threat to her. Li asks how she thinks Brady will take it when he finds out what she did. Kristen responds that Brady knows she’d do anything to keep her family in tact so it wouldn’t change anything between them, but that’s not true for him and Gabi. Kristen asks how Li thinks Gabi will take it that he used her husband as a lab animal and made him hate her in the process.

Johnny asks Gabi if there’s a problem. Gabi is not buying what Johnny and Wendy are selling, so she questions what they are really up to.

Li goes over Kristen managing to break up Brady and Chloe while now they are living together with their daughter and she wants him to move Chloe out of Basic Black in to DiMera. Li says she doesn’t sound like she believes that Chloe is no longer a threat, since she’s pretty desperate to get her away from Brady. Li questions if Kristen’s hold over Brady is not quite as strong as she hoped it would be. Kristen argues that it takes time to rebuild a relationship and they are just getting started, so she doesn’t want him to get distracted at work. Li feels the need to remind her that DiMera Enterprises is a business, not couples therapy. Kristen laughs at that and calls him a hypocrite. Kristen asks how he would feel if Gabi just found herself working side by side with Stefan. Kristen declares that if Li doesn’t want to help her, she’ll go straight to Dr. Rolf and order him to undo Stefan’s programming. Wendy arrives but stops at the door and listens in as Li tells Kristen that won’t be possible because he made sure that Dr. Rolf is long gone.

Chloe tells Brady that she’s waiting for him to say what he has to say. Brady tells Chloe to understand if there was any other way but they are interrupted as Alex arrives with Eric and Nicole. Alex says he’s glad they are both here. Brady questions what he’s doing there. Alex announces that he’s here to put their rag tag business and his magazine back on the map.

Johnny tells Gabi that Wendy is new in town so he’s just showing her around. Gabi argues that it must be a highly personal tour and remarks that she saw them and it didn’t look like they were talking about dry cleaning. Johnny then admits that Gabi got him and there’s more to it.

Kristen questions what Li has done with Dr. Rolf. Li tells her that’s none of her concern. Kristen pushes him and disagrees. Li tells her that a member of her family has been apprised as to why he had to get Dr. Rolf out of the country so soon and that’s EJ. Kristen guesses Li and EJ are in cahoots now. Wendy decides she needs to record this and reaches in to her purse to grab her phone, but she drops her phone. Kristen hears it and questions what that was. As Wendy gets down to pick up her phone, Li and Kristen come out from the room. Li questions what Wendy is doing.

Jada hopes she didn’t come across petty by telling him that Nicole came by this morning since it was business and something about the shots that Eric took of Nicole for the Bella magazine. Rafe comments that Nicole gave up modeling years ago. Jada explains that the model they hired didn’t show up so Nicole filled in. Jada adds that Eric said the shots were great, so maybe Nicole is heading back to the runway.

Brady questions what Alex is talking about. Alex responds that they have an incredible opportunity to launch Bella Magazine in to the next generation while also creating buzz for Basic Black’s next collection. Brady says it sounds good and asks how to do that. Eric says by putting Nicole on the cover of Bella in Basic Black contour. Chloe calls it a great idea while Nicole says not to encourage him. Brady asks if Alex has talked to Victor about this because he kind of hates Nicole. Nicole says she asked Alex the same question. Alex reminds them that he’s in charge of Titan, not Victor, at least until Sonny recovers. Alex declares that if he wants to put Nicole on the cover, there’s not a damn thing Victor can say about it.

Gabi says she knew it and asks what’s going on between Johnny and Wendy. Johnny claims that he’s just hitting on her in a charming and subtle way. Gabi is unsure since they seemed intense and remarks that Wendy is not his type. Johnny argues that she’s smart and gorgeous which seems like his type. Gabi acknowledges that he went from Chanel to her to Ava, so she guesses he doesn’t really have a type. Johnny responds that he likes what he likes. Gabi questions him pursuing Li’s sister now. Johnny says he’s exploring possibilities. Gabi responds that she just doesn’t want to see either of them get hurt. Johnny says he doesn’t want to see Gabi get hurt either. Gabi questions what that’s supposed to mean and how she could get hurt.

Wendy tells Li and Kristen that she was trying to take a selfie on her first day of work and dropped her phone. Li introduces Wendy to Kristen. Kristen welcomes her to DiMera Enterprises. Wendy says she looks forward to working for her but Kristen clarifies that it won’t be for her because EJ canned her. Wendy says she’s sorry to hear that. Kristen tells her that she still has her shares and remarks that Wendy’s brother is more loyal than her brother. Kristen adds that what she admires most about Li is that he’s always mindful of where he’s loyal.

Alex talks about how magazines have been struggling to remain relevant for years so they have to break the internet, which is why resurrecting one of Bella’s biggest models from it’s heyday could do just that. Nicole comments that she wasn’t dead, she just stopped modeling. Alex says that was a mistake and the latest photoshoot proves it. Alex adds that he doesn’t know what is going on but Eric’s photos bring out the best in her and he wants the rest of the world to see it. Eric decides if they are going to do another photoshoot, he needs to start setting up. Chloe goes to get makeup, hair, and wardrobe. Alex compliments Brady’s suit, which Brady explains is part of Basic Black’s upcoming line and that the designer suggested he wear it around the office to get feedback. Alex calls it killer and decides they are going to use it in the shoot with Brady. Alex compares it to Vogue having couples on the cover. Brady responds that he’s not a model. Alex says he is if he wants his collection on the cover. Nicole suggests letting Eric take a couple of test shots and agrees that this could give Basic Black a boost. Brady then gives in and agrees to do it.

Wendy decides to get to her office and start settling in. Wendy tells Kristen again that it was nice to meet her. Kristen wishes her luck with her new job as Wendy exits. Kristen asks Li where they were. Li tells Kristen that he’s not telling her where Dr. Rolf is. Kristen threatens to go tell Gabi and Stefan everything she knows, noting that they are already suspicious and so is Chloe. Kristen brings up that Marlena has reversed Dr. Rolf’s programming on more than one occasion, so she’s sure that she’ll be happy to help Stefan recover his passion for Gabi and then the two of them will run DiMera instead of him.

Gabi and Johnny sit together in the town square as she questions Johnny not wanting to see her get hurt. Johnny says he just feels kind of responsible for everything that happened with her and Jake. Gabi blames the Devil. Gabi adds that she did care for Jake, but they were never right for each other. Johnny points out that she and Stefan were though. Gabi says they thought so but he changed his mind. Johnny asks if that doesn’t seem weird to her to have such a drastic change. Gabi agrees that it was so weird that she thought Dr. Rolf did something to him but he didn’t. Johnny informs her that he thought the same thing. Gabi says she was so sure so she confronted Dr. Rolf, but he told her that he did nothing to Stefan other than bring him back from the dead. Johnny questions her just taking Dr. Rolf’s word for it. Gabi admits she’s never done that before but for some reason, she felt he was telling her the truth. Gabi declares that it doesn’t matter because if Stefan wants to be with Chloe, he can have her since she is with Li and they are in love and going to be married. Gabi adds that now nothing is going to stand in the way of her happiness.

Li tells Kristen that he will offer Chloe the promotion and asks if she’s happy now. Kristen responds that she’s over the moon and he will be too. Kristen declares that it won’t be long before Chloe is out of Brady’s life and once she is with Stefan, Li and Gabi can live happily ever after. Gabi calls Li and tells him that it’s almost time to audition the wedding cakes at the Bakery, so she wanted to make sure he was on his way. Li responds that he’s sorry but a personal matter came up at work that he has to take care of but he’ll be there as soon as he can. Gabi tells him to keep her posted as they hang up. Kristen then orders Li to go to Basic Black and offer Chloe her dream job. Kristen and Li then exit the room. After they walk away, Wendy sneaks back up to the door and calls Johnny. Johnny asks if she found anything out. Wendy responds that she sure did and she thinks they were right.

Jada apologizes to Rafe as she can tell that it’s bothering him that Nicole is modeling again for Eric. Jada admits she’s not thrilled about it either since Eric told her that’s how they got together all those years ago. Rafe says it’s not so much that she’s modeling, but that she didn’t tell him about it. Rafe wonders if she thought he would act like a jerk since he did when she told him that she hired Eric. Jada says that married people fight. Rafe says he learned that he has to trust Nicole. Jada adds that she has to trust Eric. Rafe calls it great that they figured this all out, so they can get back to work now.

Eric takes photos of Brady and Nicole for Bella Magazine. Alex gives instruction and reminds them that he’s in charge. Brady gets irritated by having to model and steps out of the room. Alex questions where he’s going as Chloe goes out after him. Brady tells Chloe that he’s going to get out of here. Chloe says that’s fine but questions what he was trying to tell her before Alex barged in.

Eric and Nicole exchange looks from across the office. Alex looks at them both and declares that’s it. Alex decides that Eric is the one that needs to be in the suit and model with Nicole.

In fact, I can’t believe I actually have to say this, but knowing our family, I would like to go on record and say that I do not want to murder you, dad.

I’m not a homicidal maniac. Can you hear that? You hear that, honey? Our sweet boys innocent. But last night you touched his picture and said that you couldn’t get a read on his true intentions. Well, honey, I told you, oh my God. I, I was just getting a, like a bad connection. You know, sometimes when you reach out into the beyond, you, you, you, you sometimes get static and sometimes you get the, Jen, I am your kid.

I love you. I’m not plotting against you. I really hope that’s true. I hate to think that my own son would betray.

I have to get to the office. We’ll see you both tonight. I’m really glad you were him, even if it is under unpleasant circumstances. See you tonight.

Hey, thanks for sticking up for me, grandma. Oh, of course, sweetie, . Oh, anytime. Anytime. Especially since you telling me the truth. Right. And you are telling me the truth, right?

Hey, new Romance brought you so. Oh, that is so sweet of you. Pun attendance. Uh, you gonna share with me or do you have to head back to the bakery? Uh, actually, um, yeah, I’d love to. Allie’s holding down the for, for now. Awesome. Let’s again, I’m starving. You know what? Um, I’m glad we have a moment. Uhoh. What did I do?

Nothing. Nothing. It’s just that, um, there’s something that Allie and I have been wanting to discuss with. But, um, I thought maybe you’d be more comfortable if it was just you and I. Wait, you can ask me.

Alice, I’m glad you’re here and, uh, I need your help. What’s going on? Pulling a fire. Stephanie yesterday and threatened to have Victor do the same. I. Talk to your uncle and convince him not to. Dude, you don’t even need to waste your time. Come on man. Listen, it’s the least that you could do after you refuse to help Stephanie with Sloan.

Always a little bit behind on the times, aren’t you? What are you talking about? I gave her the file last night. I got it.

Are these the originals? Yes. Well, how did you get your hands on this? Do I want to know? Let’s just say an associate of mine was able to relieve Ms. Peterson of the file. Chad did this. No, it wasn’t Chad. Oh, so your unnamed associate broke into Sloan’s apartment. I think it’s better if we don’t use words like break and enter, but safe to say that they were able to get in and lift the file.

Well, whoever our saving angel is, you should thank them twice because not only did they save my bid for governor and my daughter’s future, they kept you from losing a very important client.

I know that you’re desperate for a job, but you can’t be. About going back to a life of crime. Of course not. I mean, not really. Hello? Maybe Xander, you have to admit things are pretty dire right now. I mean, all it would take is me smuggling a few diamonds and they whisk you away. No, you’re not that guy anymore.

Xander. Yeah, that guy had money. Yeah, they didn’t have me True. It must be possible to have you and money. Yes, it is very simple. You just have to get a job, an honest one. You know what? You’re right. I’m gonna find a respectable, high paying, and above all honest job and move my darling wife into the kind of place she deserves.

Found. Can start right now. Wish me up. Good luck onward.

I, I don’t understand. I thought you didn’t feel comfortable deceiving Sloane. I didn’t. I don’t, but then I decided that helping Stephanie was the right thing to do.

Did she tell Paula any of the good news? I don’t know. I was about to check in with her before you busted in here. Demanding that I make good.

I just didn’t think that Stephanie should lose her job because of one mistake. Well, you certainly came in here swinging like you did. How was that? Because you. Loyal friend or loyal employee,

or do you actually have feelings for Stephanie?

So that means you’re taking me back. The election is a week away. I’m going to need your PR expertise to get me into the governance mansion. Are you sure? Stephanie? I was hard on you because, well, I’m worried for my daughter’s future. It wasn’t personal. You’ve seen us in this file, it could have ruined Chino’s life.

I had to take it seriously. No, I totally understand. I never should have mislead you. I just, I didn’t wanna let you down, but rest assured that will never happen again. Well, in the end you came through. That’s all that matters. Now we can just, Squash Sloan Peterson, like the cockroach. She is most effective way to get rid of cockroaches.

Hi. You scared me. Sorry. Why is your door open? There’s a, oh, yeah, there’s a bit of a smell. Oh my goodness. Yes. More than a bit. Mm. He’s, uh, pretty bad. Um, I brought you some lemon squares. Oh my gosh. God, I am so hungry. That was really an excuse just to, to see how you and Xander were doing. Mm-hmm. in person.

where is he? You wanted to go find a job?

Clerk for the Office of Historic Preservation. Sorry, I’m not a nerd. Male model

patriotic donkey. Hell is that. Forget the one A I got just the opportunity you need. Excuse me? You are you talking to me? And turn back around. Be a screech of a film. Are you a tell? What did I just say? Monster. With the ghetto, I can’t be seen in public. Thanks to EJ Dara, he tried to run me outta town.

Well, I see it didn’t take, what did you do to him? What did I do to him?

Look, it’s a long story, but all you need to know is that I’m not gonna let him get away with what he did to me. And if you help me get revenge, I will make it with your while. What kind of revenge are we talking about? I want you to help me kidnap his mommy.

Stephanie and I both have already explained to you that there’s nothing happening between us. Actually, you and Stephanie let it slip that a little something did happen between you two, but if you wanna avoid my question, that’s fine. Regardless of of whatever did or did not happen between us, it’s really none of your business, and I’m not even sure why we’re having this discussion.

Haven’t you moved on with Sloan already? I have zero feelings for still. Ah, oh, you’re still stuck on Stephan. This might be, might be hard for, for someone like you to, uh, comprehend. But she’s just not that into you.

I can’t wait to see Sloane smug face when she realizes she and her mystery quiet aren’t getting one red sent outta me. She will be on the war path for sure. That woman does not like to lose, but you’ll know how to handle it. Right? Definitely. I already have some ideas percolating. Hm. Well, I’m glad to hear that.

I’m come to think of it. Well, what can she do? I mean, we have all the power now, right here in my hot little hands. So she and her client, they can go bla to the press all they want. They no longer have any proof. Wait, what’s with that? Look? You’re not still worried, are you? No, I’m not. I’m, I’m just going to be on high alert.

That’s all because as I’m sure you know, sometimes even an unfounded rumor has a way of snowballing into big trouble . Well, if that woman did to snowball, I will slap her with a slander suit so fast her head will spin, hopefully pop right off. Uh, no. Now that we have this, she can’t hurt us. My baby girl is in the clear.

Wendy, look, I, I’m totally flattered. You and Natalie are super cute and super nice, but I’m not early into woman. Well, actually there was that one time that I had a crush on Salmon Moon when I was a kid. Chill. Chill. I wasn’t gonna ask you for a threesome. You were,

oh my God. I was so embarrassed. I, where did you even get an idea like that? I’m so sorry. Okay. Well, yesterday Ali said something about you two hooking up with some guy and I just, well, yes, and that was a one time thing and we tried it and we liked it, but that doesn’t mean that we’re constantly on the pro for a third.

I see. Wait, so if, if you weren’t, talk to me about that, then. What did you wanna talk to me about Johnny Damara and you? What’s going on with you guys?

Look, believe me, grandma, if I wanted to get back at my dad, I wouldn’t dress up in a silly costume just to scare him. I will. I’m, I’m glad Hear that. You know, I, I, I, the just thought of you two, not getting along just makes me unhappy. Look, I, I will admit, I was, um, I was pretty upset with the way that he treated Ava.

Mm. I mean, you really cared about her, huh? Yeah. Yeah. When she moved in here, she and I got, uh, pretty close.

Don’t tell me you did a little hanky crap. No, no, no, no. I’m just, I’m just, I’m just saying No, no. It’s just that Ava is, uh, old enough Yeah. To be my mother. I know. I’ve I’ve, I’ve heard it before. No, no, no. That’s not what I mean. Age difference. I don’t care about that stuff. You know, Elvis, he was a decade older than he’s beloved for Sheila, and I mean, they still had their problems.

Yeah. Uh, suspicious minds think a lot. Yes, exactly. Exactly. No, honey. What I’m concerned of, Jon, is that, um, paper pat a, she is a mafia princess and I do not want her leading you into a life of crime.

You want me to kidnap Susan Banks? Yeah, it probably goes without saying, but EJ has a soft spot for his loony mother. Yeah, I mean, I hate ej, but I can’t just snatch up his mum. I’m sure you can and you will be rewarded handsomely for doing so. I know you’re hurting right now. Says who? Says you and a little miss.

Unless you like living in that Ro, you might dad fine on me and my wife. I, I wouldn’t exactly call it spying. I did happen to hear the two of you talking though, not 20 minutes ago, and you were just about to go back to smuggling diamonds, I guarantee you, than my little errand is much easier and much more lucrative.

Well, Since you were eavesdropping on us earlier, you would’ve also heard that my wife doesn’t want me going back to my old ways. So sorry, but respectfully, my answer has to be go to hell, Zando. Who are you talking to?

I mean, it really isn’t that bad. You just, you gotta add some, um, some personal touches and, and it really starts to feel like home. See? Huh? What is it? Oh, uh, somebody carved something. What is nothing? Well, what I should say. Oh, I’d, uh, I’d rather not say. Okay. Ah. It says, I hope you die. Okay. That’s enough.

You’re gonna pack your bags and you’re gonna come home with me. No, we already tried that, mom. It was less than a day before Victor and Xander declared war on each other. I can handle Victor. I appreciate that. But there is absolutely no way that Xander will go back there. Now he wants to prove that he can provide for us, and I hope he can do it without breaking the law, breaking the law.

Sarah? Oh, it was a joke. He just like made this offhand comment about, um, maybe diamond smuggling. What? I, I handled him. Mom, it’s gonna be fine. I’m sure as we speak. Xander is hot on the heels of an honest living, I was. I’m talking to myself. Isn’t that one of the first signs of insanity? Studies show EJ that positive affirmations can greatly improve one’s day.

Ah, even worse. The only thing I despise more than uttering competence is blind over confidence. Somehow you have both in space. Come on, Sean. So anyway. Treat your former caregiver. You’re a glorified babysitter. My little niece could have done your job probably better. You won’t admit it, but we had some great times.

The two of us. Nice to bring you stones, and we’d watch downtown ABB together. Downton Abby, downtown abb. See you remember? And now I clearly appreciate it. If you return the favor. I know I’m going to regret this, but what kind of favor? So glad you asked. E See, I am a bit, uh, temporarily occupationally challenged.

I’ve been looking for jobs all morning, but nothing really. It’s optimized standards. So maybe you could hook me up with a nice exec Gigo tomorrow. What could you possibly bring to the table? Well, I happen to have some information that you might find rather interesting,

as you know. I mean, my brother Thomas, he got pulled into the tall grass of the CD underworld. I just don’t want that to happen to my freshest, freshest grandbaby. You don’t have to worry about that with me besides even where possible. Ava is long gone. Thanks to my dad. Well, hey, you know what, Emily, what about your ex-wife?

Yeah, I remember. Is there any possible chance that you and Chanel can get back together? She’s with my sister now. All right. Right, right. She swings both ways. She’s swing. Right. You sisters are grandma. Grandma, please. What after? Okay. Okay. You know what? I’m, I’m, I’m not gonna middle anymore. No. Mm. Um, but you don’t, don’t, um, ever give up on finding love.

You hear me? Oh sweetheart, you are such, such a big heart. Yeah. And I know eventually that you’re gonna find someone to share it with and, um,

And

what? Oh no, I’m gonna do it. Nope. Nope. I just, I told you I’m not gonna butt into your life. Nope. And I respect your wishes, sweetheart. Grandma. Grandma. Hmm. On.

Oh, . Okay. I chanson. I have in oh dang cart, right? Boys are at it again. Grandma. Oh no, just hold on, hold on, hold on. I’m just not bad. Wires got crossed here. Oh, oh, yes, yes, yes. Okay. Yes, I was sensing that. Um, oh, sweetheart, you are gonna find love and it’s just right around the corner.

Nothing’s going on between me and Johnny. We’re not in a relat. I mean, not romantically. Okay. But you must be pretty close. He’s even calling in favors to find you a place to stay. What are friends for? Right. And that was very nice of him. I just, you just, what

I just, I wanna make sure that you’re not using. Because I will tolerate, no, of course I’m not using him. Look, I know we just met, but I think you’ll learn that I’m a good person. Okay. If Johnny and I are just working towards a common goal to uncover whatever secrets his dad and my brother are keeping, it’s totally platonic between him and me.

I mean, he’s not even interested in me like that. Anyway, okay. I. I’m sorry that I misread the situation. Allie and I are just protective over Johnny. She’s his twin sister and I’m his ex-wife. He told me. Right. And like you said, we just met, but you’ll get to know me pretty quickly too. And, um, what happened between Johnny and me, it’s.

It’s not, um, it’s not really how I, Hey, look, I’m not judging you. Yeah. But I, I still feel really bad about hurting him and now he’s just lost Ava and, well, Allie and I are just concerned, you know, we don’t, we don’t wanna see him get hurt again. I get it. But the original Johnny and I are just, Like I said, so hearts will be broken.

I know you did Stephanie a favor and I’m sure she’s very grateful, but I hope you realize it’s because you came to a rescue. It won’t change your feelings for you. Well, for the record, I was happy to do her the favor. Chad, I wasn’t expecting anything in return, but are you sure she’s cool with you speaking on her behalf?

Like. I’m just looking out for a friend. Seems more like you’re trying to market your territory. Alex, for the last time, I’m not competing with you for Stephanie’s affection. If she shared your feelings, I would’ve absolutely no problem with him. Yes, see, I somehow doubt that too. My wife just died.

Understand the mother of my children, the love of my life. I don’t want to move on with anybody right now, let alone Stephanie, but eventually Alex, leave it alone. There’s nothing going on between Stephanie and I. There never will be. You understand?

Hello, gentlemen. Am I interrupting something? No, not at all. What brings you here this morning, Chad, I, uh, came to see Victor about saving your job, but it appears you don’t need saving anymore. Oh, it’s true. I, uh, just dropped the file with Paulina and she was very pleased. Hired me back on the spot. So, since we only have a week left to go in our campaign, then you and I are gonna be really busy.

That’s great. Should we get to work? Yes. But um, first. I actually stopped by to speak with Alex. Would you give us a moment alone?

Oh, all right. Well, I am going to head out. I have to make another stop before heading back to Bakery. Well, thanks again for the pastries. My pleasure. And again, sorry for the whole. Free some confusion. Ah, don’t sweat it. And I’m sorry for accusing you of using Johnny. It’s just, I, I know he comes off as a bit too ho for school, but Oh, in other words, arrogant , right.

But deep down, he’s really just so, he’s like a puppy dog. Let’s do that. You know, sometimes he gets this eager look on his face, you know, all wide eyed and curious. So cute. You just wanna pet him. I know, right? What’s up guys? What what? What’s so funny?

Please, uh, don’t tell me you think that Xander is gonna start smuggling diamonds again. Oh, no, of course not. But I do hope that he finds a job soon, not for the money, but for his self-esteem. Okay, well you let me do this. I wanna give you some money and I want you to take it. I just, uh, I need a pen. No, mom, no.

Xander will absolutely kill me. What Xander doesn’t know won’t kill him or you. I’m just gonna give you a little something to tide you over and, and, okay, hold on. Hold on here. Hello. Is it a roach? The size of a cock span?

I’m gonna get you a pen, okay? Yeah. So in exchange for a cushy job, I’ll give you some major intel on one of your enemies. Oh, I see. So you are willing to sell out your Uncle Victor anti off your own personal gain. What an appealing quality and a new hire. No, that wasn’t what I’m saying. You really have no loyalty whatsoever.

You see, that’s the difference between you and me. I may be devious on occasion ruthless if the situation calls for it, but I also have loyalty you your pond scar. No wonder Victor kicked you out of his company for your information. I wasn’t kicked out. I chose to leave time because Victor decided with his son.

You went up against Philip and lost, you’re a loser. Excuse me. You’re a loser. Xander. A bum scouring the want ads in the back of the paper. See, face it old ch You just know the mirror material. I mean, Being Outwitted by Philip Kerrys, how stupid can you be? Listen to me, you ho. And now you’re haring insults.

You’re quite the interviewee, aren’t you? Mr. Cook.

But hey, I consider myself a charitable now, not completely heartless. So if you really need a job,

I will provide one for you. Stop by the house tomorrow, the hedges could use a trim.

You still want me to go to Hal’s, Andy, or might you reconsider my offer?

I’ll go home and get my laptop and just gimme a call when I get to work. Thanks Chad. Thanks Chad.

What’d you wanna talk to me about? I, um, I just wanted to say thank you for helping me out with Sloane. You really came through for me. You already did that last night. I know, but I also wanted to repay you by taking you out to dinner. Is that not crossing a line? Well, I’ve decided to make an exception.

I can’t believe it. This nightmare is truly over . That’s right, baby. What happened in the past? It is staying right there forever. In the past, it’s never going to come out. I feel so relieved for you . Oh, me as well. But you know, I’m even more relieved for you, baby. Oh, now come here.

Hey, so, uh, I thought we could, you know, do a little strategizing, figure out how to best use your new job to find out what your brother and my dad are up to. Don’t worry, man, I got this core Protect is my expertise, but I could use your opinion on something else. Okay. Okay. Do I look right? Is this a good first day at Tamara outfit?

You know what, actually, your, your, your collar’s sticking up a

there now. You look perfect.

Look, no.

No. No. What sh I mean, all this money, and this is the candy selection they have. Sh Oh, wish I thought you were going to work. I was. But I saw this chocolate croissant in the window of sweet bits. I just couldn’t resist. But I know that they’re your favorites,

Thank you mom and I promise we will pay you back as soon as possible. And if this isn’t enough, no. Cause there’s no rush. She I know, I know. No, we will be fine. I know Xander will come through. I know. It

is such a tool. IIes. It’s kind of a big deal. Like you haven’t done much worse. That was before. All you have to do is babysit Susan for a little while. Like, like it just did with EJ not too long ago. Right? Scones downtown Abby, e z pc. And once EJ pays the ransom, we let Susan go. No one needs to get hurt.

How much money are we talking here? Oh. Oh. You will be Bill EJ out of millions of dollars. Oh, I do like the sound of that, but how am I gonna keep this winful secret for my lovely wife? Oh, come on. I don’t know. Tell her that you won the lottery or something. I’m sure you will come up with a good cover story.

You know, you’re not as stupid as EJ says you are. No, I’m not. And for the record, I know it’s down to Nabby. I’d just like to annoy that stuff. Well, you know what? We’ll annoy the hell outta him. Snatching mommy dearest. See you in,

oh, Avish. This is just what I’m craving. Emotionally hard. You are the best. Sh. Ever.

Come on Xander. You can pull off a kidnapping in your sleep. And this one, talk about satisfying, freak out EJ and make a boatload of money. There’s not, you’ve never done something like this before. Alright. Let’s do it. Let’s bleed that master. Try.

Uh, you know what? We had better get you over to DER Enterprises if we’re gonna.

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Sarah is in her new motel room on the phone with Maggie, assuring her that she and Xander will be fine while she is searching the motel room. Maggie complains about them living in a dive motel. Sarah tells her that Victor made it clear that the mansion is not their home. Maggie says she can handle Victor. Sarah tells Maggie that it’s okay as they will only be here until Xander gets out of debt and then will find a new home. Maggie hopes she’s right. Sarah tells her not to worry and that she loves her as she hangs up. Sarah remains searching the room and then looks underneath the bed and screams.

Alex enters the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion and greets Maggie, who asks how his mission went with the file that he stole out of Sloan’s apartment. Alex won’t go in to detail but tells Maggie that the file could’ve destroyed many lives but now it won’t thanks to them.

Paulina is in her office, on the phone with Sloan, assuring that the money is ready to go. Paulina says she’ll see her in an hour and hangs up. Paulina complains about wishing she could strangle her. Stephanie arrives. Paulina tells her that she has some nerve showing up here again after she failed to neutralize Sloan Peterson. Paulina complains that she has to go pay Sloan off with even more money than before thanks to her. Stephanie tells her that she doesn’t have to do that. Paulina continues that she doesn’t have a choice thanks to Stephanie and brings up Sloan having a file full of evidence that could destroy her daughter’s life. Stephanie says not anymore as she then reveals the file folder.

Xander rushes in to the motel room and says he heard Sarah scream from down the hall. Sarah has him look underneath the bed and he tells her that it’s just a cockroach. Xander says she almost gave him a heart attack as he thought she was in real danger. Outside their room, Ava lurks in a disguise wearing sunglasses and a blonde wig.

Johnny sits at the DiMera Mansion on the phone with Wendy and asks about her first night at Allie’s. Wendy responds that Allie and Chanel are great hosts and thanks him for hooking her up with a place to stay. Johnny says now they can focus on getting the goods on Li and EJ. Johnny then tells her that he has to go and will call her back as EJ walks in. EJ tells Johnny to save it because he knows he’s plotting against him so he can just admit it. Johnny thinks he misunderstood. EJ says this is about Johnny coming to DiMera and pretending he wanted to make peace. Johnny claims he wasn’t pretending. EJ wishes that were true and suspects that this is about Ava. Johnny claims not to know what he’s talking about. EJ tells him to be honest with him as he asks if he is seeking revenge on Ava’s behalf.

Ava hides outside the motel as Sarah thanks Xander for getting rid of the cockroach. Sarah complains that they are literally staying in a roach motel. Xander goes to shut the door but Sarah says to leave it open because there’s a smell. Xander apologizes to Sarah for all this since she deserves so much more. Sarah says it’s okay. Xander wishes they could’ve stayed at Jack’s but Sarah says she’d rather take her chances with the roaches than stay with Gwen. Sarah says they will just tough it out here for a little bit longer and then soon her probation at the hospital will be over and she’ll be back to full time with her salary. Xander says until then, he’ll keep looking for a job even if his prospects are pretty bleak at the moment. Sarah encourages that something will come along soon. Xander jokes that if not, he can always return to a life of crime. Ava smiles when she hears that from outside the door.

EJ tells Johnny to admit that he’s been plotting against him but Susan interrupts and tells EJ to leave Johnny alone becasue he doesn’t have any proof against him. Johnny didn’t know Susan was in town. Susan explains that she got in last night after having a vision that someone was out to get EJ. EJ mentions seeing someone outside in a clown mask wielding a knife. Johnny questions if EJ thought that was him. EJ brings up Johnny’s love of horror movies. Johnny declares that he does not want to murder EJ. Susan encourages that Johnny is innocent. EJ brings up that Susan said last night that she couldn’t get a read on Johnny’s true intentions. Susan blames that on a bad connection. Johnny tells EJ that he is his kid and he loves him, he is not plotting against him. EJ really hopes that’s true because he would hate to think his own son would betray him. EJ says he has to get the office and will see them tonight. EJ tells Susan that he’s really glad she’s there even if it is under unpleasant circumstances. EJ then exits the mansion. Johnny thanks Susan for sticking up for him. Susan says any time and asks if he is telling her the truth.

Chanel comes home and brings Wendy a coffee. Chanel tells Wendy that she’s glad they have a moment because there is something they have been wanting to discuss with her, but she thought maybe Wendy would be more comfortable if it was just them. Wendy stops her and asks if she’s going to ask her to have a threesome.

Alex looks at Stephanie’s number on his phone when Chad walks in and tells Alex that he needs his help. Alex asks what’s going on. Chad explains that Paulina fired Stephanie yesterday and threatened to have Victor do the same, so he needs Alex to convince Victor not to. Alex tells Chad that he doesn’t need to waste his time. Chad argues that it’s the least he could do after refusing to help Stephanie with Sloan. Alex jokes that Chad is always a little behind the times. Chad questions what he’s talking about. Alex reveals that he gave Stephanie the file last night.

Stephanie hands Paulina the file. Paulina questions how she got her hands on this and if she wants to know. Stephanie responds that an associate of hers was able to relieve Sloan of the file and it wasn’t Chad. Paulina questions if they broke in to Sloan’s apartment. Stephanie just confirms that they were able to life the file. Paulina responds that whoever their saving angel is, Stephanie should thank them twice because they saved her bid for Governor and Chanel’s future, but also kept Stephanie from losing a very important client.

Sarah argues that Xander can’t be serious about going back to a life of crime. Xander says of course not but then says maybe, pointing out that things are pretty dire right now. Xander argues that he’d only have to smuggle a few diamonds. Sarah argues that he’s not that guy anymore. Sarah encourages him to get an honest job. Xander assures that he will do that and move her in to a place she deserves. Xander decides he’s going to do that right now and exits. Ava then comes around the corner and follows Xander.

Chad doesn’t understand as he thought Alex didn’t feel comfortable deceiving Sloan. Alex says he doesn’t but he decided that helping Stephanie was the right thing to do. Chad asks if she told Paulina the good news. Alex says he doesn’t know as he was just about to check in with Stephanie when Chad busted in. Chad explains that he just didn’t think Stephanie should lose her job over one mistake. Alex responds that Chad came in swinging like he did. Alex asks if that was because he’s a loyal friend and employee or if he actually has feelings for Stephanie?

Stephanie asks if this means Paulina is taking her back. Paulina says the election is a week away so she will need her PR expertise to get her in to the Governor’s mansion. Stephanie asks if she’s sure. Paulina explains that she was only hard on her because she was worried for her daughter’s future. Paulina notes that Stephanie saw what’s in the file and it could ruin Chanel’s life, so she had to take it seriously. Stephanie understands and apologizes for misleading her as she didn’t want to let her down. Stephanie promises it will never happen again. Paulina responds that in the end, she came through and that’s all that matters. Paulina declares that now they can squash Sloan like the cockroach she is.

Sarah uses her phone to search for most effective way to get rid of cockroaches. Maggie comes in and startles her. Maggie questions why the door was open. Sarah tells her there’s a bit of a smell. Maggie brought Sarah lemon squares and admits it was an excuse to see how they were doing in person. Maggie asks where Xander is. Sarah responds that he went to go find a job.

Xander sits in the town square, looking through job listings in the newspaper. Ava appears at the table behind him, and tells him to forget the want ads as she has just the opportunity he needs. Xander turns and questions if she’s talking to him. Ava confirms that she is and tells him to turn back around and be discreet. Xander realizes it’s Ava and questions her disguise. Ava explains that she can’t be seen in public thanks to EJ trying to run her out of town. Xander asks what she did to him. Ava calls it a long story and says all he needs to know is that she won’t let him get away with what he did to her. Ava adds that if Xander helps her get revenge, she will make it worth his while. Xander questions what kind of revenge they are talking about. Ava reveals that she wants Xander to help her kidnap EJ’s mother.

Chad tells Alex that he and Stephanie already explained to him that there’s nothing going on between them. Alex points out that they actually let it slip that something did happen and accuses Chad of avoiding his question. Chad argues that it’s really none of his business and he’s not even sure why they are having this discussion as he thought Alex moved on with Sloan already. Alex clarifies that he has no feelings for Sloan so Chad realizes he’s still stuck on Stephanie. Chad says this might be hard for someone like Alex to comprehend, but she’s just not that in to him.

Paulina can’t wait to see Sloan’s face when she realizes that she and her mystery client are going to get a cent out of her. Stephanie acknowledges that Sloan will be on the warpath because she does not like to lose. Paulina asks if she’ll know how to handle her. Stephanie assures that she already has some ideas. Paulina asks what Sloan can do now that they have all the power in her hands. Paulina says Sloan and her client can talk to the press all they want as they don’t have any proof. Stephanie says she’s just going to be on high alert because sometimes even an unfounded rumor has a way of snowballing in to big trouble. Paulina threatens to slap Sloan with a slander lawsuit if so. Paulina declares that now that they have the file, Sloan can’t hurt them and Chanel is in the clear.

Wendy starts telling Chanel about how she’s not in to women but Chanel clarifies that she wasn’t going to ask her for a threesome. Chanel questions where she even got the idea. Wendy explains how Allie said something yesterday about how they had a threesome with a guy. Chanel insists that was a one time thing as they tried it, they liked it, but they aren’t constantly on the prowl for a third. Wendy asks what Chanel wanted to talk to her about then. Chanel questions what is going on with Wendy and Johnny.

Johnny tells Susan that if he wanted to get back at EJ, he wouldn’t dress up in a costume just to scare him. Susan is glad because the thought of them not getting along makes her unhappy. Johnny admits that he was pretty upset with the way EJ treated Ava. Johnny talks about how he and Ava got pretty close when she moved in. Susan is concerned about Ava being a mafia princess so she doesn’t want Ava leading Johnny in to a life of crime.

Xander questions Ava wanting him to kidnap Susan Banks. Ava brings up EJ having a soft spot for his mother. Xander feels he can’t just snatch up EJ’s mom. Ava assures he will be rewarded and she knows he’s hurting, unless he likes living in the roach motel. Xander questions if she’s been spying on him and his wife. Ava says she wouldn’t call it spying but she happened to hear them talking and he was about to go back to smuggling diamonds. Ava guarantees that her errand is much easier and more lucrative. Xander informs Ava that his wife doesn’t want him going back to his old ways, so his response is going to have to be go to Hell. EJ then approaches and questions who Xander is talking to.

Sarah tells Maggie that the motel isn’t that bad as they will just add some personal touches and it will start to feel like home. Sarah then finds that someone carved “I hope you die” in to one of the end tables. Maggie decides that’s enough and tells Sarah to pack her bags and come home with her. Sarah reminds her that they already tried that and it was less than a day before Victor and Xander declared war on each other. Maggie repeats that she can handle Victor. Sarah says she appreciates that but there’s no way that Xander will go back there now because he wants to prove that he can provide for them and without breaking the law. Sarah mentions Xander joking about diamond smuggling but she assures that she handled him and it’s going to be fine. Sarah is sure that Xander is hot on the heels of an honest living as they speak.

Xander tells EJ that he was talking to himself which EJ calls the first sign of insanity. Xander argues that positive affirmations can improve one’s day. EJ mocks Xander and calls him a glorified babysitter. Xander argues that they had great times together while he was his caretaker, so now he’d appreciate it if EJ returned the favor. EJ questions what kind of favor. Xander explains that he’s temporarily without a job and he’s been looking all morning but nothing is up to his standards, so maybe EJ could hook him up with an executive job at DiMera. EJ questions what he could possibly bring to the table. Xander responds that he happens to have some information that he might find rather interesting.

Susan tells Johnny about her brother Thomas getting pulled in to the seedy world of the underground and she doesn’t want that to happen to Johnny. Johnny assures that she doesn’t have to worry about that with him. Johnny adds that Ava is long gone now anyways thanks to EJ. Susan asks if there’s any chance of Johnny and Chanel getting back together. Johnny reminds her that she’s with Allie now. Susan decides she won’t meddle anymore. Susan encourages Johnny to never give up on finding love because he has such a big heart, so she knows eventually he will find someone to share it with. Susan then puts her hand on Johnny and says she’s sensing that he’s going to find love and it’s just right around the corner…

Wendy tells Chanel that nothing is going on between her and Johnny as they are not in a relationship. Chanel argues that they must be pretty close if he’s calling in favors to find her a place to stay. Wendy asks what are friends for. Chanel admits that was very nice of him, but she just wants to make sure Wendy is not using Johnny. Wendy assures that she’s not. Wendy knows they just met but thinks she will see that she’s a good person. Wendy adds that she and Johnny are just working towards a common goal to uncover whatever secrets his dad and her brother are keeping. Wendy insists that it’s totally platonic between them and that Johnny isn’t even interested in her like that anyway. Chanel apologizes for misreading the situation. Chanel says that she and Allie are just protective over Johnny since Allie is his twin sister and she’s his ex-wife. Chanel notes that Wendy will get to know her pretty quickly too and what happened between her and Johnny. Wendy assures that she’s not judging her. Chanel still feels really bad about hurting Johnny and now he’s just lost Ava, so she and Allie are concerned and don’t want to see him get hurt again. Wendy gets it and repeats that they are just friends so no hearts will be broken.

Chad knows Alex did Stephanie a favor but hopes he knows that won’t change her feelings. Alex responds that he was happy to do it and wasn’t expecting anything in return. Alex questions if he’s sure that she’s cool with Chad speaking on her behalf. Chad says he’s just looking out for a friend while Alex feels he’s marking his territory. Chad argues that he’s not competing with him for Stephanie’s affections. Stephanie arrives at the Kiriakis Mansion and listens from outside the room as Chad tells Alex that if Stephanie shared Alex’s feelings, he’d be cool with that which Alex says he doubts. Chad brings up that his wife just died, so he doesn’t want to move on with anyone right now. Chad tells Alex to leave it alone as he declares that there is nothing going on between himself and Stephanie and there never will be which Stephanie overhears and looks sad. Stephanie then walks in to the room and asks if she’s interrupting something. Chad says not at all. Stephanie asks what brought Chad here this morning. Chad explains that he came to see Victor about saving her job but it turns out she doesn’t need saving anymore. Stephanie confirms that she just dropped the file off with Paulina and she was very pleased, then hired her back on the spot. Stephanie tells Chad that there’s only a week left in the campaign so they are going to be really busy. Chad suggests they get to work. Stephanie mentions that first she actually stopped by to speak to Alex, so she asks Chad to give them a moment alone which makes Alex smile.

Chanel tells Wendy that she’s going back to work. Wendy apologizes again for the whole threesome confusion. Chanel apologizes for accusing her of using Johnny. Chanel and Wendy joke about how Johnny can come off arrogant, but deep down is like a puppy. Johnny then shows up at the door and greets them. Chanel and Wendy both start laughing so Johnny asks what is so funny.

Maggie questions if Sarah thinks Xander is going to smart smuggling diamonds again. Sarah says of course not but she hopes he finds a job soon for his self esteem. Maggie insists on writing a check to give Sarah some money to hold her over. Sarah initially refuses but then Maggie gets up and kills another cockroach, so Sarah goes to get her a pen.

Xander tells EJ that in exchange for a cushy job, he’ll give him some major intel on one of his enemies. EJ questions Xander being willing to sell out Victor and Titan and mocks that being an appealing quality in a new hire. Xander tries to explain but EJ remarks that he’s really not loyal. EJ declares that the difference between them is that he can be devious and ruthless but he also is loyal while Xander is pond scum. EJ says it’s no wonder Victor kicked Xander out of Titan. Xander argues that he chose to leave Titan. EJ mocks Xander going up against Philip and losing. EJ calls Xander a loser and a bum. EJ mocks him going through the want ads in the paper and declares that he’s just not DiMera material. EJ laughs at him losing to Philip and asks how stupid he can be. Xander calls him a pompous ass. EJ comments on him now hurling insults and says he’s quite the interviewee. EJ tells Xander that he considers himself a charitable man, so if he really needs a job, he will provide one for him. EJ jokes that Xander can stop by the house tomorrow because the hedges could use a trim. EJ then laughs and walks away. Ava turns around and asks if Xander still wants her to go to Hell or if he might reconsider her offer.

Chad tells Stephanie that he will go home and get his laptop, then she can call him when she’s ready to work. Stephanie and Alex thank Chad as he exits. Alex then asks Stephanie what she wanted to talk to him about. Stephanie says she just wanted to thank him for helping her out with Sloan as he really came through for her. Alex points out that she already thanked him last night. Stephanie adds that she also wanted to repay him by taking him out to dinner. Alex questions if that’s not crossing a line. Stephanie reveals that she’s decided to make an exception.

Chanel joins Paulina in her office and says she can’t believe the nightmare is truly over. Paulina declares that what happened in the past is going to stay in the past and will never come out. Chanel feels relieved for Paulina. Paulina feels the same for her as they hug.

Johnny tells Wendy that he thought they could do some strategizing on how to best use her new job to figure out what EJ and Li are up to. Wendy assures that she’s got this but she could use his opinion. Wendy asks if she looks okay and if her outfit is alright for her first day at DiMera. Johnny adjusts her collar and tells her she looks perfect.

Susan complains about the candy at the DiMera Mansion. EJ returns home with a chocolate croissant for Susan since he knows they are her favorite.

Sarah thanks Maggie and promises to pay her back as soon as possible. Maggie assures there’s no rush. Sarah insists they will be fine and she knows Xander will come through.

Xander tells Ava that EJ is such a tool but kidnapping is a big deal. Ava argues that he’s done much worse. Xander says that was before. Ava tells Xander that all he has to do is babysit Susan for a little while, like he did with EJ years ago and once EJ pays the ransom, they let Susan go and no one gets hurt. Xander asks how much money they are talking about. Ava says they will take millions from EJ which Xander admits he likes the sound of, but questions how he would keep it secret from his wife. Ava suggests telling her that he won the lottery or something. Ava is sure that Xander will come up with a good cover story as he’s not as stupid as EJ says. Ava asks if Xander is in.

Susan hugs EJ and calls him the best son ever.

Ava argues that Xander could pull off a kidnapping in his sleep and this one will be extra satisfying since he’ll freak out EJ and make a boatload of money. Xander then agrees to do it and declares they will bleed that bastard dry.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

really think you’re gonna have that many more trick or treaters? That’s not the trick or treaters I’m worried about. I’ll decide if I prefer these with nuts or with that, feel like a better try another one. These are for the kids. Now these are for you. Me. How does anyone even know I’m here? No.

Collection agencies have a way of keeping track of you. These are often dough collectors. You can’t pay a single one of ’em, can you? Cause you haven’t got a job.

After Sloan gave Paulina an earful about our less than successful scam, how the spinning in the world wasn’t going to change her mind about me being able to handle it. I can’t believe she fired you. Not only did she fire me, she threatened to ruin me and my business. I’m sorry. Now I should be the one apologizing.

I hired you to consult at sjr. Now I have no work for you to consult on. Jumped on board a sinking ship. Well, it is interesting timing why just a few hours ago, my brother EJ offered me a job working at Damara and I turned him down. Oh no. Can you, can you call him back and tell me changed your mind? I don’t want to call him.

So I don’t want the job at the mirror. Why not? Because sinking chip or not? I like working with you.

Well, are you gonna see who it is? It’s not like I can answer it. Don’t worry, he’ll go away

or not. All right, fine. I’ll get rid of him. Alex, wait, what? You can’t answer the door. You’re naked. Right. Of course. I’ll just throw on some pants. Okay.

Can’t get you your,

oh. Mother. Mother, what are you doing? What? I’m trying to keep you safe. That’s what I’m doing. I’m fine. Oh my goodness. You are not listening. Did you just hear me? You are in terrible danger. But you never explained why. What are you talking about? I’m talking about I had a premonition, a horrible premonition, and it shook me to my car.

Oh, son Elvis, someone is out to get you.

How, how is, how is this possible? Are you really so surprised you saw me last Halloween when the devil brought me back from the dead? That was a fun night, wasn’t it? Yeah. The devil is gone, isn’t he? Sadly. Yeah. But lucky for you. I’m still here. Why? How, who knows, maybe I’m all in your head or maybe not.

Either way, I can see that I got here just in time,

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

So for sure I paid this one. Huh? What? Look, I’m cool. Vague. Actually, Xander already has a job. Oh, what? Lawn care. Well, as a matter of fact, Jack offered him a job at Spectator. Really? Mm-hmm. . They must, the assignment. God columnist, obituaries? No, it’s an executive job because unlike you, Jack sees what Sandra brings to the table.

So maybe we could discuss this properly. How, but you don’t care about that, do you? All you care about is belittling your nephew so that you can feel all powerful and big. What do you wanna go ahead and belittle me to? Because I was stranded on that island for over a year. I have no savings. Not to mention I’m still on probation at the hospital, so I’m not getting my full salary.

So you explained to her that? No, I’m explaining it so that Victor will realize that you’re not the only. Who can’t pull your weight financially. But you know what, Victor? Pretty soon all of that’s gonna go away. You won’t be able to hold Xander’s financial situation over his head because his salary at the Spectator is going to be more than enough to pay off his debts.

It won’t what? Why? I was trying to tell you earlier, but. I didn’t get the job,

Alex, on. Maggie, this is a surprise. I was just visiting a friend, . I see. Um, Holly asked me to take her for a second round of trick or treating. What took you so long to answer? Uh, well, like I said, this isn’t my apartment. We were just having a little Halloween party. Who’s that lady on the blindfolded?

Oh, son, what were you thinking? You, you didn’t have any of the doors locked? I mean, come on. What kinda security system do you have here? Huh? Do you have cameras? You have dogs, you have sharpshooters on the roof. Mother, calm down. There’s no danger. What are you talking about? That there’s no danger. Just don’t see it.

And why are you in that? Get up anyway. Get up. The clown costume, the mask. What are you? Oh, kidding. Oh my God. Isn’t it do or off? No, you. From a horrifying way. Yes. What are you kidding me? Who doesn’t know clown? Uh, pretty much everyone. Mother. Okay. Oh, you’re the point. You’re missing the point. See, that’s the thing I put on this costume and I was struck by that horrible premonition that someone was after my precious son.

Yeah.

We got here just in time for what mother do. I really have to explain. I just watched you tell your dead boyfriend that you’re not gonna get revenge on EJ Damara. Yeah. So why? Why, what good is it gonna do me? Huh? I need to move on with my life. So one trip goes back to Seattle. I am going with him. Sure.

Yeah. Go back to Seattle with your tail between your. You can wear plaid. You can drink lattes with your golden, oh, don’t even talk about him like that. He’ll be fine. Not only does Dr. Hansen get to live out the rest of his days in peace while I molder in my grave, but now he gets his mommy to pack his lunches for him in the morning.

Do I look like the lunch packing type? No. You look like the don’t stop until vengeance is yours type. But I guess you’re making a different decision this time. What is so wrong with going to Seattle? For starters, aren’t you afraid Joey Johnson’s gonna smother you in your sleep?

You’re saying you had this vision. I was in danger when you put on the clown costume. You know what, I, I’m you. It’s, it’s true. I was right about Satan, wasn’t I? Yes, you are right. If Y watched, darn, I wasn’t by far the fuck, the first I know. I mean, they don’t scratch, I mean, he’s booted back into the underworld for good.

But that doesn’t mean that you, you from,

you think I’m around the,

maybe not really. Why not? Why not? Because I, I, I know I haven’t, but why do you believe me? Earlier tonight, I saw someone in this same costume outside the French doors. They were holding onto a knife. I was looking straight at them when Chad came in and stopped me. Well, that was your very brother live here.

Well, he didn’t mean it, although he did happen to be wearing the same Dan costume. Okay. Wait, wait, wait. There was three of us in this little delight for costume. Apparently Chad bought his in town too. Great mind, huh? Alicia. Who was the third clown? I don’t know. When Chad arrived, I looked back at the door and the first clown was gone.

I just chalked it up to a Halloween prank. Oh, oh, no, no, no. I promise you son, this is, it’s not Halloween, Frank. It’s cuz that was not what I saw in my premonition. No, this was for real. Look,

is the Pine Foot part of her costume? And why she handcuffed to the bed out the mouth of Babes Holly, we really should keep moving. We don’t wanna miss out on that candy and Alex can, uh, get back to his, um, Halloween party. Well, he didn’t gimme any candy. Oh, oh, of course. I mean, obviously Right. And it’s not like we were expecting anybody else.

Let’s see it. These are for you. Oh my goodness. You know what? Oh, there you go. Wow, grandma. We hit the jackpot. Both size bars. That’s right. Whoa. That’s right. Why do I walk you guys out? Huh? Are you coming trick or treating? Oh, you know, I would love to do that, but I can’t. But I do have a treat for grandma.

Oh, for me? What is it? Do how Open it. Hold onto it now. I’ll explain later. Okay. Thank you. Okay. All right. Hey, great costume. Huh? Happy Halloween. Let’s see you guys. Straight between.

Are they gone? They are gone. That was my aunt Maggie and her grand. It’s kinda weird them showing up at my apartment here like that. Wow. It is Halloween. Well, it was a mood killer. Almost. Almost. So where were we?

It’s my own fault for thinking that I could scam Sloane Peterson into giving up her blackmail. Well, it would’ve worked if Leo hadn’t show. So much of PR is about controlling the situation, twisting it to your advantage. I’ve been in tight spots with clients before, but I’ve always been really good at dancing my way out of them, but this time I completely botched it.

How Not completely Carbon marsh, how

Don’t know. Off the top of my head. Of fire maybe. Maybe an office building could have started on fire. Oh my god.

You have these little red licorice bites. I thought you said there’s no candy that could make you feel better. Well, I don’t know that they’ll actually do that, but when I was a kid I used to eat a million of these and then it would turn my tongue red. Ah, ah. Is they red yet? No. I don’t know. It was pretty normal to me

how I,

oh, how low. Want you wanna, my favorite match of the year. I did not of mis. Oh right, mother. So someone was outside the door with a clown costume. But who? Well, that is the question of our gonna wanna hurt my beautiful baby boy . I’m afraid that’s quite a long list. Mother. What much for showing that’s really mad at you?

Or someone that really doesn’t like you very much? Well, there is someone who springs to mind who, who, who’s. Huh? Cause your mama was not gonna let them touch one hair on your little head. I’m thinking maybe it’s Johnny. Johnny. My short little grand baby. You think he’s one that sha you? It’s possible. O Why?

Why? Oh, why do you think that is? Shas own daddy? Because I came between him and Eva.

Joey Johnson isn’t going to murder. Are you sure about that? I’d put a double lock on your bedroom door. We’ve moved past our difficulties. Mm. I’m glad you think so. But tell me, mom, what are your big plans for when you get to Seattle? You gonna join a grunge band, gonna get a job as a barista? The Space Needle?

Uh, what’s so wrong with those ideas? We both know that that’s not who you really are. Oh, okay. So who am I? You’re the coldhearted bitch that wouldn’t even save her own son. You sabotaged a plane that killed poor kindly, grandpa Sean. Oh, that was not me. I was drugged. Were you drugged when you framed Rafe when you tried to send your own boyfriend to prison?

He betrayed me with Nicole. Yeah. Mm-hmm. , there’s always an excuse. But the thing is, you don’t have to lie. You don’t have to make excuses for me, okay? You and I are more alike than you care to admit, and that is why I say you want blood? Go for it.

You didn’t get the job, Jack didn’t think it’d be a good idea for me to work there. What? Why? He’s supposed to be your best friend. What does he think? You’re not good enough to work at a stupid paper. He’d be lucky to have you. I’m gonna call him. Tell him what I think about his journalistic integrity.

Because of Gwen, what? Gwen needs a job too. So Jack hid at the Spectator. He didn’t think it was a very good idea for us to be working that together. Why is that? Because she still has feelings for, she still has feelings for. Sorry I didn’t tell you soon.

Jeff always did have very good instincts. So did I. That’s why I wouldn’t hire you either.

You guys are supposed to be sleeping. Charlotte had a nightmare. A nightmare. Well, you know, sometimes candy before bed will do that. What was your nightmare about? It was about clowns, but not the funny kind. That was really silly. That was about clowns. Uhoh, that might have been daddy’s fault. I wore a scary outfit, didn’t I?

Can I tell you a secret? I’m afraid of clowns two. Who are you? Uh, Thomas and Charlotte. This is, uh, mommy’s cousin Stephanie. Yeah, mommy’s cousin. Him. That’s right. What are you doing here in. Why have we not seen you before?

Well, I guess we haven’t met before because I haven’t lived most of my life in Salem. I. In California and your mom used to visit me all the time. You know, I was just thinking about this one time when we were kids. We watched this scary movie about a weird dog named Chucky, and I had such a bad nightmare, so scared.

I didn’t wanna go back to sleep. What did you do? Honestly, I asked your mom to stay up all night with me. She was the bravest girl I ever. And she said we should listen to our favorite song, one that made me happy. So we did, and then all this curiousness went away. Do you have a favorite song? Five Littles, Olivia rgo.

Perfect. Do you want me to play it on my phone? The stuff you take me back to bed? I, I’d be happy to. Let’s go. You can show me your room. I will. And I’ll also show you my new little dog named Audrey. Oh, I can’t wait to meet him. Oh, he’s not real. He’s, but I love him like,

Okay. Can we lose the blindfold already? I mean, it was exciting in the beginning, but I’m going crazy that I can’t see you in all your glory. All right, one second. Hold your horses.

Ah,

there you go. How’s that better? But you’re not naked. I told you I had to answer the door. Remember? Yeah. Well, the trick or treaters are gone. So what are you doing? Ditch the clothes. I can’t. Well then this is gonna be very difficult because I’m sort of tied up at the moment. I mean, I can’t stay.

How are you? Isn’t it obvious

to the outside world you might seem like violent monsters. Deep down we’re just two people desperate for love, never getting, forgetting it. I’ve had love in my life. Sure, I know.

But Jake said, and let’s look at the rest of your history. RA didn’t want you, Steve didn’t want you. The only one that’s ever truly loved you is me. No. Yes, mom. Mm-hmm. . There is no love, like the love between a mother and a. And I’m not talking about your golden boy that lives in Seattle. Oh, chip and I are very close, but his love is conditional.

You have to be good. You have to do the right thing. I love you for who you really are, and that is why I came back to help you destroy EJ Damara. So you saying that Lady Boss and our little Johnny were. Loving each other tan and then you busted them up. It was for Johnny’s own good. Ava was out to hurt our family and using my son in the process.

Well, I sometimes you gotta make kids take their medicine. Although my mama, she used to put mine on a shoe. Cute. Well, I prefer to give it to them straight. Oh, Shena didn’t, uh, like taking his medicine so much? No. He said something about making me pay if it was the last thing he does. Hmm. So you’re saying that he wanted you to pay.

By, um, showing up and scaring you with a clown costume and a car born knife, what do you think? Well, I think

spirit.

Chocolate Mond is my personal favorite. You have one diet. Sure. I can’t believe we’re gonna get stuck with so much candy. I told you we had too much. Well, there’s worse things than leftover candy. Mm-hmm. . Well, perhaps you should spend less time pouring candy down your gut and more time figuring out how you’re gonna pay those bills.

Don’t worry about a victim, it’s all gonna sell cell. Oh, easy. I’m gonna pay it off. No, no, I can’t let you do that. You just got your job back at the hospital and like you said, you’re only working part-time. You have no savings. I mean, well, yeah. I won’t be able to pay it all off at once, but I’ll make payments.

Trust me, those agencies are happy to take whatever they can get. It’s okay, baby. I’m my husband. We do this for each other. I told you I’m glad I am that we got married. Uh, they’re romance of a joint checking account. I’d love Sarah if we were both dead broke. Oh, you feel good about yourselves? Ander, huh?

Letting your wife clean up your mistakes. That’s enough. But it never is, is it? You always need more. Not even bad enough to put a roof over your wife’s head. Shut your mouth or manner. I’ll shut it.

You have to leave now. Why? Because my aunt Maggie was at the door, so. What I, I don’t understand. You care about what your aunt thinks about your sex life? No, actually I don’t care about that at all. But as I was walking around, she told me that my Uncle Victor is on a warpath right now over some Titan business, so I need to go deal with it and that can’t wait.

You know how these things can be time sensitive. What about my surprise? You’re surprise. That’s right. Of course, you’re surpris.

Well,

you’re gonna have to wait, baby. You know what they say? Anticipation can be a good thing, right? Um,

Alex, next time, I promise you, Sloan, next time you have my word, I will be there. I’m gonna text you later. Aren’t you forgetting something,

right? Of course. Oh my God, I am so sorry. Um, but I will tell you, it has been a whole lot of fun. Well, it would be a lot more fun you staying. Yeah, it’d be more fun with me too, baby. But you know what they say duty calls. You know where that goes. Hmm. I suppose

I’ll see you soon. Mm-hmm.

no. How good is sister? Cute. No, mother. What are you doing? What this y doing? Do what? What are you doing? What’s gonna help me? Help me? Uh, how’d you see your father? Johnny means you some harm. Oh, okay. Um, oh, uh, Berry. Is is my bitty, bitty little Johnny Grand baby? Is, is he the one out to get my, my, my, my son?

I mean, he’s the evil clown we’re searching for.

Are the spirits keeping you any,

I dunno, lazy haz.

Hey, are you still there? Hello, spirits? Can you hear me now what? I just, I, I could tell you this. The spirits are really, really wasteless tonight. I mean, there is something wicked in the air. Oh, Sean, whoever’s out to get you, they don’t wanna just scare you.

They wanna make you.

You know what you want, mother? You want to grind EJ under your heel and make him wish he never met you. That’s why you reached out to Gwen and she turned me down. I’m glad she did. No, you’re not. Isn’t that why you were so interested in Xander? I don’t know what you mean. Um, on the guy is hard up for cash, not to mention he has an incredibly corrupted soul.

Who better to do your bidding? I don’t need anyone to do my bidding. Well, you obviously can’t go after directly. The guy’s been itching to send you to prison, right? That’s why you need to recruit a desperate goon Alexander to do the dirty work. Right. Okay. Even if I wanted to get out right, even if I wanted to make EJ pay, go on,

I dunno.

I, I don’t even know what to do. I, I mean, what would I tell Xander to do? Funny you should ask. That seems I’ve touched a nerve. I’m sick. You are disrespect What gives you the right to talk to me like that? Xander. What gives me the right, I built an empire. My name is on deed to this house. I’m the one that keeps you from being on the street.

You owe me everything the hell I do. I just had the best time trick or treating. What’s going on here? We’re moving out. What? Come on, Sarah. What? What happened? I talked to Sarah.

What did you say to your nephew? I have no idea.

Very black licorice in there. Who likes black licorice? Well just gimme the bulb. Really? What? Listen, I had no mold for any lectures, my blood sugar or anything else. Tell me what you said to Xander and Sarahs. Hey Auntie Mag. Hi, uh, Henderson says you were back. Do you have that file that I gave you? Oh, yeah.

It’s right here, but, oh. Hey, uncle Vic. Sorry, I just needed to grab something. Here you go. Thank you. You are the best. Oh, what is all about? Oh, just doing a favor for a friend. Cool. Blackish Thie, huh? This family.

I am pleased to report that both Thomas and Charlotte are tucked back in bed with no residual effects of the nightmare. How many times did you have to listen to driver’s license? Hmm, only three. Maybe four. What? You got off easy.

Thank you for what you said to Charlotte. Hearing stories about her mother. I’m, I know. Makes her feel better. Anytime she wants to hear one, I’d be happy to stop by. That means a lot.

Well, I should go, I, um, I wanted to see my mom. My brothers are visiting her before she gets back to Seattle. Hi. How is, uh, how’s she doing? Uh, great. She’s getting released tomorrow. I’m glad to hear that. Thanks. I just, I wish I had some better news of my own to share. Instead, I have to tell her that her daughter just got fired by our most important client.

No, are you kidding me? After everything she just went through having you guys together and happy and healthy. I’m sure is enough. Shouldn’t take that for granted. I know. And besides, you know, you’re gonna land some new big client before you know us, so don’t waste any time beating yourself up. Talented.

And you’re dedicated and anyone would be lucky to have you doing their pr. Thank you for saying that. That’s true and, and I’m happy to help try to belt water. Get this sinking ship floating again, . I’m really glad I hired you. Me too. Goodnight, Stephanie.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I mean, what else do I have to do around here? So all these demaris that are alive, they want to present an image of strength, like nothing can hurt them, but everyone’s got a weakness. Even ej. I’ll get it go. Sure you do. But I have faith in you, mommy. I have faith that you will find e j’s Achilles heel and you will slice it open with a scalpel.

Trip is expecting me send a message to Goldie that you changed your mind, that you’re staying here in Salem. I can’t. Of course you can, because if you don’t, you’ll be sitting in rainy Seattle regretting it, thinking every day about how EJ bested you, how he was gloating on the phone, how easy it was to kick you out of town.

He was laughing with that smug grin on his. Think of how fun it would be to wipe that grin off his face. I know who you really are. I know what you really want, so why not be honest with yourself and admit that I’m right after all that boy’s best friend is his.

Stephanie. Hi Alex. What are you doing at the hospital? But you had a hot date with Sloan. I did. I cut it short. Figured I might find you here. You left your date to come see. Kim to give you this. Oh my God, you, you got it. Wait, I thought you didn’t wanna get involved. I didn’t, but then I realized that if Uncle Victor decided to fire you, he’d put me to work on the task of hiring a whole new PR firm.

You know, interviews a vetting who’s got all that time? Right. I mean, we’ve got people to see, beds to get handcuffed to. Exactly. Alex, this is a huge help. Thank you. My pleasure.

You came to say goodbye, Maggie. You’re really leaving right now. We have no choice. Can’t we talk about this? I mean, you know how Victor is. He just can’t help himself. There’s a mistake to come here in the first place, but where are you gonna go at this hour at the night? Mom does have a point. I mean, you every right to be upset.

Do we really have to rush out? Right? If Victor wants to apologize, I’m ready to listen. Apologize for giving you a free place to live. If you wanna move out, you can move into a van by the lake. See, Maggie, it’s useless. P, but where will we go? I don’t think Here’s something.

Okay.

Call me when you get settled.

I hope you’re happy. I can’t believe you got cooked to wait for ship peanut butter and banana and bacon sandwiches at this hour. When I told him you’d stop by for an unexpected visit, he was more than happy to. Well, he knows just how to make ’em, and he’s just like, I question . He also asked if he should pick up some more supplies.

Do you have to go back to Roger right away or do you intend on staying? I’m not sure. Not sure. Um, but I, I really do wanna get a clear vision of who’s after you. I mean, I swear Johnny, he’s thing in the thing in the world when he was possessed Byers Pub. Don’t worry about it. I’ll speak to him when he comes back home.

Now, in the meantime, Eat up your sandwiches before your, uh, bacon gets cold. . You don’t have to tell which one. Yeah.

There is no love, like the love between a mother and a son.

Don’t worry about us, mom. Xander and I are gonna be fine. Fine. Sarah, you are living in a dive motel. You need to come back home. That is not our home mom. Victor made that very clear look, honey, I can handle Victor. Oh honey, it’s really okay. We’re not even gonna be here for that.

Update written by Joseph

At the Kiriakis Mansion, Sarah has to keep Xander away from the Halloween candy. Victor informs Xander that he has mail. Xander questions how they even know he’s there and if it’s all bill collectors. Victor remarks that Xander can’t pay a single one of them because he doesn’t have a job.

Stephanie tells Chad about how Paulina reacted after Sloan told her about their failed plan. Chad can’t believe Paulina fired her. Stephanie says not only did Paulina fire her, she threatened to ruin her and her business. Chad says he’s sorry. Stephanie responds that she should be apologizing since she hired Chad to work and now there’s nothing to work on like he jumped on board a sinking ship. Chad calls it interesting timing since a few hours ago, EJ offered him a job at DiMera and he turned him down. Stephanie asks if he can call him back to tell him that he changed his mind. Chad responds that he doesn’t want the job at DiMera because he likes working with Stephanie.

Sloan’s doorbell rings as she is handcuffed to her bed and blindfolded while Alex has stolen her file on Paulina and begins going through it. Sloan asks if he’s going to answer the door since she can’t. Alex tells her not to worry and they’ll go away but the doorbell continues ringing. Alex gives in and says he’ll get rid of them but Sloan reminds him that he can’t because she was under the belief that he had taken his clothes off for her. Alex then pretends to put his pants back on and answers the door to see Maggie has brought Holly trick or treating.

At the DiMera Mansion, Susan locks the doors and tells EJ that she’s keeping him safe. EJ insists that he’s fine while Susan complains that he’s not listening. Susan reminds EJ that she said he’s in terrible danger. EJ questions what she is talking about. Susan exclaims that she had a horrible premonition that shook her to her core because someone is out to get him.

Ava sees her dead son Charlie in the DiMera Crypt and questions how this is possible. Charlie asks if she’s really that surprised, reminding her that she saw him last Halloween when the Devil brought him back to life. Ava points out that the Devil is gone. Charlie responds that lucky for her, he’s still here. Ava asks why and how. Charlie then says maybe he’s all in her head or maybe not but he sees he got here just in time.

Xander goes through his bills and says he thought for sure he paid one off. Sarah interrupts to inform Victor that Xander already has a job which Victor questions. Sarah reveals that Jack offered Xander a job at the Spectator. Victor questions the assignment. Sarah informs Victor that it’s an executive job because unlike him, Jack sees what Xander brings to the table. Xander tells Sarah that they can discuss this privately but Sarah continues going off on Victor. Sarah talks about her situation since being stuck on the island and still being on probation at the hospital so Xander isn’t the only one that can’t pull his weight financially. Sarah tells Victor that soon, all of that is going to go away and Xander’s salary at the Spectator will pay off his debts. Xander cuts her off and tells her that it won’t because he didn’t get the job.

Alex tells Maggie that this is a surprise and that he was just visiting a friend. Maggie explains that Holly wanted her to take her for a second round of trick or treating. Holly questions what took Alex so long to answer. Alex says this isn’t his apartment and they were just having a Halloween party. Holly looks inside and questions who the lady on the bed is and why she’s blindfolded.

Susan questions what EJ was thinking by not having the doors locked and asks what kind of security system he has. EJ insists there is no danger. Susan argues that he just doesn’t see it. EJ questions Susan wearing the clown costume which she calls adorable. Susan tells EJ that she put on the costume when she got struck by the horrible premonition that someone was after him.

Ava questions what Charlie got there just in time for. Charlie says he just watched her tell her dead boyfriend that she’s not going to get revenge on EJ DiMera and questions why. Ava asks what good it would do her and says she needs to move on with her life. Ava declares that is why when Tripp goes back to Seattle, she is going with him. Charlie mocks her going back to Seattle with her tail between her legs. Charlie complains about Tripp living in peace while he’s in his grave and now he’ll have his mommy with him. Charlie remarks that Ava seems like the not stop until she gets her vengeance time but guesses she’s making a different decision this time. Ava questions what is so wrong with going to Seattle. Charlie asks if Ava’s not afraid that Joey will smother her in her sleep again.

Susan knows EJ thinks she made all this up but she insists it’s true. Susan reminds him that she was right about Satan and even with the Devil gone, that doesn’t mean EJ is safe from harm. EJ acknowledges that she might not be wrong. Susan asks why he suddenly believes her. EJ admits that earlier in the night, he saw someone outside in the same clown costume and they were holding a knife. EJ says he was looking right at them when Chad came in and startled him. EJ notes that Chad happened to be wearing the same costume. Susan jokes that great minds think alike and wonders who the third clown was. EJ says he just chalked it up to a Halloween prank but Susan promises that it’s not and that this is for real.

Holly asks Alex if the blindfold is part of the lady’s costume and why she’s handcuffed to the bed. Maggie tells Holly that they should get going so they don’t miss out on more candy and Alex can get back to his Halloween party. Holly complains that Alex didn’t give her any candy so he reaches back inside and gives her the whole bowl of candy. Holly exclaims that they hit the jackpot with full size candy bars. Alex offers to walk them out, so Holly asks if he’s coming trick or treating with them. Alex says he would love to, but he can’t. Alex adds that he does have a treat for Maggie as he then sticks the Paulina file folder in to Maggie’s purse, instructing her not to open it and to just hang on to it then he will explain later. Alex thanks her and wishes them a Happy Halloween as they walk away. Alex then heads back inside and tells Sloan that they are gone as he explains it was his Aunt Maggie and her granddaughter. Sloan calls it kind of weird for them to show up at her apartment like that. Alex reminds her that it is Halloween while Sloan comments that it was almost a mood killer. Sloan then asks where they were.

Stephanie tells Chad that it’s her own fault for thinking that she could scam Sloan. Chad points out that it would’ve worked if Leo hadn’t shown up. Stephanie complains that so much about PR is controlling the situation and twisting it to your advantage. Stephanie talks about getting out of situations like this before but this time, she completely botched it. Chad argues that it could’ve been worse. Stephanie questions how. Chad jokes that there could’ve been an office fire. Stephanie eats some of their candy until Chad’s kids, Thomas and Charlotte run in to the room and Charlotte hugs Chad.

Susan tells EJ that All Hallows Eve is one of her favorite nights of the year. EJ questions who was outside in the clown costume. Susan says the question of the hour is who wanted to hurt EJ. EJ jokes that it’d be a long list. Susan points out that it must be someone who is really mad at him or doesn’t like him much. EJ admits that someone does spring to mind. Susan declares that she won’t let them touch a hair on his head. EJ reveals that he’s thinking maybe it’s Johnny which Susan questions. EJ calls it possible. Susan asks why he would think that. EJ explains that he came between Johnny and Ava Vitali.

Ava tells Charlie that Joey is not going to murder her. Charlie asks if she’s sure about that and suggests double locking her door. Ava responds that they’ve moved past their difficulties. Charlie is glad she thinks so but questions what her big plan is in Seattle, mocking what she’ll do for a job. Charlie calls Ava the cold-hearted bitch that wouldn’t even save her own son. Charlie brings up Ava sabotaging the plane that killed Shawn Brady and Colleen which Ava blames on her being drugged. Charlie then brings up Ava framing Rafe and trying to send him to prison. Ava argues that he betrayed her with Nicole. Charlie says there’s always an excuse but she doesn’t have to make excuses for him. Charlie adds that they are more alike than she cares to admit. Charlie tells Ava that if she wants blood, she should go for it.

Sarah questions Xander not getting the job. Xander explains that Jack didn’t think it was a good idea. Sarah argues that Jack is supposed to be his best friend and that he’d be lucky to have him. Sarah starts to call Jack but Xander clarifies that Gwen needed a job too, so Jack hired her at the Spectator and didn’t think it was a good idea for them to work together. Victor questions why that is. Xander admits that Gwen still has feelings for him and apologizes to Sarah for not telling her sooner. Sarah then acknowledges that Jack always had very good instincts. Victor chimes in that he does too which is why he wouldn’t hire Xander either.

Chad reminds his kids that they are supposed to be sleeping. Thomas informs him that Charlotte had a nightmare. Charlotte tells him that it was about a clown. Chad blames himself for his costume. Stephanie adds in that she’s afraid of clowns too. Thomas questions who she is. Chad introduces Thomas and Charlotte to Abigail’s cousin, Stephanie. Thomas questions what she’s doing here and why they haven’t seen her before. Stephanie explains that she hasn’t always lived in Salem and grew up in California. Stephanie talks about Abigail visiting her there and how they watched Child’s Play which gave her nightmares. Charlotte asks what she did. Stephanie says she had Abigail stay up all night with her and calls her the bravest girl she ever met. Stephanie adds that they listened to her favorite song which helped and asks if Charlotte has a favorite song. Charlotte tells her that it’s “Driver’s License” by Olivia Rodrigo, so Chad offers to play it on his phone. Charlotte then asks Stephanie to take her back to bed. Stephanie says she’d be happy to and then takes the kids upstairs.

Sloan asks Alex if she can lose the blindfold now, noting that it was exciting at first but she’s losing her mind not seeing him. Alex undoes his shirt and agrees to then remove the blindfold. Sloan complains that he’s not naked. Alex reminds her that he had to answer the door. Sloan points out that they are gone so she tells him to ditch the clothes. Alex responds that he can’t because he can’t stay.

Ava questions how she and Charlie are alike. Charlie calls it obvious as to the outside world, they don’t seem like violent monsters and are just two people desperate for love but never getting it. Ava argues that she’s had love in her life. Charlie acknowledges that but points out that Jake is dead. Charlie brings up the rest of her history, noting Rafe and Steve didn’t want her and the only one that ever truly loved her is him. Ava disagrees. Charlie declares that there’s no love like the love between a mother and her son. Charlie calls Tripp’s love conditional while he loves Ava for who she really is and that is why he came back to help her destroy EJ DiMera.

Susan questions EJ saying that Johnny and Ava were loving each other until he busted it up. EJ argues that it was for their own good as Ava was trying to hurt their family and using his son in the process. Susan says sometimes you have to make kids take their medicine. EJ prefers giving it straight. Susan guesses Johnny didn’t like taking his medicine. EJ brings up that Johnny said something about making him pay even if it’s the last thing he does. Susan questions thinking he meant making him pay by showing up in a clown costume to scare him. EJ asks what she thinks. Susan responds that she needs to ask the spirits.

Xander and Sarah talk about being stuck with so much candy. Victor remarks that he knew it was too much and suggests Xander spend more time figuring out how to pay his bills. Xander tells Victor not to worry as it will all sort itself out. Victor asks how. Sarah announces that she’s going to take care of it but Xander says he can’t let her do that, noting that she’s only working part time and hasn’t been able to save up. Sarah admits she won’t be able to pay it all off at once but she’ll make payments. Sarah tells Xander that it’s okay as he’s her husband and they do things for each other. Xander tells her how happy he is that they got married as they kiss. Victor mocks them and questions Xander letting his wife clean up his mess. Xander says that’s enough. Victor remarks that Xander never has enough and isn’t even man enough to put a roof over his wife’s head. Xander then threatens Victor to shut his mouth or he’ll shut it for him.

Sloan questions Alex having to leave now. Alex reminds her that his Aunt Maggie was at the door. Sloan doesn’t understand and questions if he cares what she thinks about his sex life. Alex claims that as he walked her out, Maggie told him that Victor was on the warpath about Titan business so he has to go take care of it. Sloan questions if that can’t wait. Alex says these things can be time sensitive. Sloan asks what about her surprise. Alex says they are going to have to wait and notes that anticipation can be a good thing. Alex promises next time he’ll be there and he will text her later. Alex goes to leave but Sloan reminds him to uncuff her. Alex tells her it’s been a whole lot of fun. Sloan complains that it’d be more fun if he was staying. Alex tells her that duty calls. Alex says this was nice and he’ll see her soon. Alex kisses her and then exits the apartment.

Susan finds a photo of EJ and Johnny and declares that this will help her find out if Johnny means him harm. Susan holds the photo and calls out to the spirits to ask if Johnny is the one out to get EJ and if he’s the evil clown they are searching for. EJ asks if the spirits are giving her any indication. Susan says the vision is hazy and asks if the spirits can hear her. Susan tells EJ that the spirits are really restless tonight as there is something wicked in the air. Susan warns that whatever is out to get EJ doesn’t want to just scare him, they want to make him suffer.

Charlie tells Ava that she knows she wants to grind EJ under her heel and make him wish he never met her. Charlie brings up Ava reaching out to Gwen but Ava says she’s glad Gwen turned her down. Charlie disagrees and then brings up Xander being strapped for cash and having a corrupted soul, so he asks who better to do her bidding. Ava responds that she doesn’t need anyone to do her bidding. Charlie argues that she can’t go after EJ herself since he’s been itching to send her to prison and that’s why she needs to recruit a desperate goon like Xander to do the dirty work. Ava responds that even if she wanted help making EJ pay, she doesn’t even know what she would tell Xander to do. Charlie says it’s funny she should ask.

Victor asks Xander if he touched a nerve. Xander says he’s sick of it and asks what gives Victor the right to talk to him like that. Victor argues that he built an empire and this is his house so he’s the one who keeps him from being out on the streets so he owes him everything. Maggie then walks in, declaring that she just had the best time trick or treating but then stops and questions what is going on here. Xander announces they are moving out which Maggie questions. Maggie asks what happened as Sarah says she’ll talk to him and follows Xander out. Maggie then turns to Victor and questions what he said to his nephew. Victor claims he has no idea and that he’s not in the mood for lectures. Victor asks for black licorice from the candy bowl but Maggie asks who eats that. Maggie asks him again what he said to Xander and Sarah. Alex then comes in and asks Maggie for the file that he gave her. Maggie gives it to him and asks what this is all about. Alex responds that he’s just doing a favor for a friend and exits, taking some black licorice on the way out so Victor calls him a thief.

Stephanie returns to Chad in the living room and informs him that Thomas and Charlotte are both tucked back in to bed with no nightmares. Chad asks how many times she had to listen to “Driver’s License” by Olivia Rodrigo. Stephanie says only 3 or 4 times so Chad jokes that she got off easy. Chad then thanks Stephanie for what she said to Charlotte because he knows hearing stories about her mother makes her feel better. Stephanie says she’d be happy to stop by anytime. Chad says that means a lot. Stephanie decides she should go see Kayla since her brothers were visiting her before going back to Seattle. Chad asks how Kayla is doing. Stephanie says she’s great and getting released from the hospital tomorrow. Chad is glad to hear and she thanks him. Stephanie wishes she had better news to tell Kayla instead of having to tell her she got fired by her most important client. Chad says after everything Kayla just went through, having them together, happy, and healthy is enough and she won’t take that for granted. Chad adds that Stephanie will land another big client before she knows it because she’s talented and dedicated so anyone would be lucky to have her doing their PR. Chad adds that he’s happy to help get this sinking ship floating again. Stephanie says she’s really glad she hired him. They say goodnight as Stephanie then exits.

Charlie tells Ava that he’s been thinking about this a lot and talks about how the DiMeras like to present that nothing can hurt them but everyone has a weakness, even EJ. Ava says she has to go. Charlie tells her that he has faith that she will find EJ’s achilles heel and slice it open. Ava reminds him that Tripp is expecting her. Charlie suggests she message Tripp that she changed her mind and is staying in Salem. Ava says she can’t. Charlie argues that if she doesn’t, she’ll be sitting in Seattle regretting it and thinking every day how EJ bested her. Charlie tells Ava to think of how fun it would be to wipe the grin off EJ’s face. Charlie repeats that he knows who Ava really is and what she really wants, so he suggests she be honest with herself and admit that he’s right. Charlie remarks that a boy’s best friend is his mother. Ava’s vision of Charlie then disappears.

Chad eats a piece of the Halloween candy that he and Stephanie were having before.

Alex runs in to Stephanie at the hospital. She questions what he’s doing here as she thought he had a hot date with Sloan. Alex confirms that he did, but he cut it short and figured he might find her here. Stephanie questions him leaving his date to come see her. Alex reveals the file which shocks Stephanie, who says she thought Alex didn’t want to get involved. Alex explains that he didn’t but he started thinking that if Victor fired her, he’d put him to task to hire a whole new PR firm. Stephanie tells Alex that this is a huge help and thanks him.

Xander and Sarah return to the living room with their bags packed. Xander tells Maggie that they came to say goodbye. Maggie questions them really leaving right now. Xander responds that they have no choice. Maggie asks if they can talk about this and says Victor just can’t help himself. Xander calls it a mistake to come here in the first place. Maggie questions where they will go at this time of night. Sarah acknowledges that Maggie has a point and that Xander has every right to be upset, but questions if they have to rush out right now. Xander responds that he’s willing to listen if Victor wants to apologize. Victor questions why he should apologize for giving him a free place to live and says if he wants to move out, he can move in to a van by the lake. Xander tells Maggie that it’s useless. Sarah asks Xander where they will go. Xander assures that he’ll figure something out. Maggie tells them to call her when they get settled as they then exit the mansion. Maggie tells Victor that she hopes he’s happy.

EJ and Susan eat together. EJ asks if Susan has to go back right away or if she intends on staying. Susan is not sure and really wants to get a clear vision of who is after him. Susan calls Johnny the sweetest other than when he was possessed by the Devil. EJ tells her not to worry about it and that he’ll speak to Johnny when he comes home. Ava then sneaks up to the side door and looks in at them through the window. Ava thinks back to Charlie’s words that there’s no love like the love between a mother and son as she watches EJ with Susan. Ava then pulls out her phone and texts Tripp that she’s changed her mind about going to Seattle as there is something else she has to do.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Alex works at the Titan office when he gets a text from Sloan, asking if he’s up for more tricks & treats with a photo of her handcuffs. Alex starts to respond but Stephanie walks in.

Paulina leaves another message for Stephanie that as soon as she gets the file from Sloan, she wants it delivered to her immediately. Paulina thanks Stephanie for all she has done and says that she and Chanel are forever in her debt. Sloan then arrives at Paulina’s office and hopes it isn’t a bad time. Paulina responds that it always is and their business is concluded. Sloan questions who gave her that idea.

Tripp goes to the hospital and finds Steve dressed as a pirate for Halloween. Tripp realizes he missed the kids’ Halloween party. Tripp mentions being on the hospital staff but says it’s an old habit. Steve tells Tripp that he ran in to a kid earlier who was asking about Tripp. Steve suggests Tripp stick around town a little longer. Steve admits he hopes Tripp stays in Salem because he loves having him here. Tripp responds that he loves being here but his life is in Seattle now, so he got a return ticket tonight and he just came to say goodbye.

EJ is at home on the phone with Belle. EJ thanks her and says he’s thrilled to be back running DiMera Enterprises. EJ comments that he doesn’t plan to go public with Ava Vitali’s crimes as long as she abides by their agreement. EJ remarks that he’s sure he’s not the only one celebrating Ava being banished from Salem, never to be seen or heard from ever again. Behind him, Ava then appears outside the back door and looks in through window of the DiMera Mansion.

Sloan warns Paulina that her client is growing very impatient with her games. Paulina argues that she doesn’t play games. Sloan threatens that if Paulina doesn’t pay up, the whole world will know her and Chanel’s dirty little secrets. Paulina questions what she is talking about since Stephanie assured her that everything was resolved. Sloan responds that Stephanie spun a bunch of lies to both of them.

Alex tells Stephanie about closing a deal so he will need her to put together a press release. Stephanie says she will get right on that, but first she hoped she could ask him to do something for her.

Steve questions Tripp already booking his return flight. Tripp says now that Kayla is doing well, it’s time to get back. Steve says it makes sense but notes that Ava won’t be happy if he leaves town without seeing her. Tripp guesses he hasn’t heard. Steve admits he’s been at the hospital 24/7 until now so he asks what he didn’t hear. Tripp reveals to Steve that EJ ran Ava out of town and he has no idea where she is.

EJ tells Belle that he knows Gabi and Ava are out for his blood, but if they come for him, they will live to regret it or maybe they won’t live at all which he calls a little Halloween humor. Ava remains outside the mansion and puts on a clown mask costume with a knife in hand. EJ then turns around and is shocked by what he sees.

Tripp tells Steve that he knows Ava made some bad choices but she was going to marry Jake so that wasn’t a lie. Steve questions if that excuses her from faking a marriage and helping herself to Jake’s DiMera shares. Tripp admits it doesn’t but feels the punishment doesn’t fit the crime since she was grieving while EJ took away her job and home. Steve points out that EJ could have had Ava arrested and sent to prison so he’d say he treated her pretty well considering the circumstances. Tripp argues that EJ had his own ulterior motives but he’d rather not get in to it. Steve questions Tripp having no idea where Ava is which he confirms. Tripp says all he got was a text from her saying she’s fine and would see him soon. Steve says it doesn’t make sense because it’s not like Ava to just give in and leave.

EJ goes to investigate outside when Chad enters the DiMera Mansion in the same clown costume, scaring EJ, who complains that there is someone lurking outside in the same costume. Chad points out that he doesn’t see anybody while EJ insists they were just there.

Sloan tells Paulina that Stephanie crashed and burned and didn’t have the nerve to tell her that she sent Chad to pay her off with counterfeit money. Sloan says she only found out by chance, otherwise she’d be out her retainer and her client could have been arrested for passing fake bills. Paulina doesn’t believe a word of her story. Sloan says she has no reason to lie and questions if Stephanie has called her today. Paulina admits she hasn’t. Sloan wonders why she could be avoiding her. Sloan points out that Paulina is five points ahead in the polls and the election is next week so it would be a terrible time for her daughter’s exploits to be splattered on every news paper in the state.

Alex questions Stephanie asking him for another favor. Stephanie knows she already owes him big time for covering her with Sloan last night. Alex tells Stephanie that he won’t tell Sloan that she broke in to her apartment, but she can’t do it again. Stephanie agrees that she can’t try her luck but she told Paulina that she would present her with Sloan’s incriminating files today and she doesn’t know how she will do that without Alex’s help.

Joey visits with Kayla in the hospital. Kayla mentions that Stephanie told her it’s far more interesting in Salem than Seattle. Kayla talks about there never being a dull moment in Salem and his family is here. Kayla then informs Joey that she was wondering about Wendy Shin because she heard he and Tripp talking about her while they thought she was sleeping and it sounded like they are both kind of in to her. Joey complains about her eavesdropping. Kayla points out that they were in her room and talking very loudly. Joey admits they were and jokes that he’ll let it go this time. Joey tells Kayla that he and Tripp might be kind of in to Wendy but unless she wants Salem to be even more interesting, she definitely wouldn’t want them in an intense competition for the same woman so that won’t work to keep him or Tripp in Salem. Joey tells Kayla that he loves her and assures they will be video chatting all the time and they will visit. Kayla wants Joey to be happy wherever he is. Joey thanks her and asks if she’s still on track to get out tomorrow. Kayla promises she will sign her out herself if she has to. Joey asks if she’s sure it’s not worth to stay a couple more days to make sure she’s okay. Joey comments on all the cards Kayla has been sent. Kayla says she’s been so exhausted that she hasn’t had time to look at them all yet so Joey offers to help her with that. Kayla then opens a card that came with a box of candy, assuming it’s from Julie, but it turns out to be from Orpheus.

Chad thinks EJ probably just saw a trick or treater. EJ argues that they would come to the front door. Chad suggests they got lost or were playing a prank. EJ repeats that they were wearing the exact same costume as Chad. Chad says a hundred other people are too and mentions that it was on sale when he took Thomas and Charlotte to the town square. Chad insists that EJ probably just saw a kid. EJ supposes he’s right. Chad asks why he wanted to see him as he has to get home to the kids. EJ declares that he would like Chad to come back to work at DiMera.

Stephanie informs Alex that she still thinks the file is in the locked cabinet in Sloan’s apartment. Alex calls that total speculation. Stephanie points out that it wouldn’t be if she had a chance to pick the lock. Alex reminds her that they just agreed she can’t do that again. Stephanie agrees but suggests maybe someone who is a welcome visitor to Sloan’s bedroom could somehow find the opportunity. Alex questions if she’s asking him to pick a lock and legit commit a crime. Stephanie remarks that he probably doesn’t have the skills. Alex says that’s not the point. Stephanie suggests he could look around and find the key. Alex thinks he knows where the key is but he also thinks stealing from Sloan is crossing a major line. Stephanie tells him to think about the lines Sloan has crossed and that she never should’ve had these materials in the first place. Stephanie admits she thought helping Paulina get elected would be simple but she’s never dealt with blackmail before and thought she could just do her usual spin out of it. Alex talks about how she always thinks she can get out of things until she can’t and now she’s asking him to fix things for her. Stephanie argues that this isn’t just about her but about Paulina and her family. Stephanie adds that it’s about so much more than that, the future of their community and state. Alex says she’s laying it on thick. Stephanie states that Paulina’s campaign is more than just a job to her as she believe she will do great things for the state. Stephanie declares that she would work for Paulina for free. Alex uses that to joke about the ridiculous rate she is charging Titan. Stephanie asks if he will help her or not. Alex wants to be clear on what exactly she is asking from him. Alex questions if she’s asking him to go have sex with Sloan. Stephanie argues that he can go look for a key without having sex with her. Alex says there are no real feelings between he and Sloan but he doesn’t feel comfortable going to her apartment with a secret agenda of stealing from her. Stephanie decides she shouldn’t have asked him to do this as it’s her problem and she should handle it herself. Stephanie then exits to go deal with the press release.

Paulina complains of Sloan blackmailing her. Sloan calls it business. Paulina threatens to report her to the state BAR for unethical practices when she becomes Governor. Sloan warns that she will never be Governor if she doesn’t make this deal. Sloan adds that her stalling isn’t winning points with her client. Sloan then declares that the price just went up dramatically. Paulina decides she wants to deal with the client directly but Sloan says she gets paid to protect the client’s anonymity so she will deal with her and only her. Sloan hands Paulina the new price and the number for the offshore account. Sloan then declares that if the money isn’t in there by the morning, Paulina’s political career is over and so is her daughter’s life as she knows it. Sloan then exits the office.

Tripp agrees with Steve that it’s not like Ava to let go of anything without a fight, but he thinks that falling in love with Jake and then losing him so suddenly took all the fight out of her. Steve hopes that’s true for his sake because he knows he’s devoted to his mom and doesn’t want him to worry all the time. Steve mentions Joey being in with Kayla, so he invited Tripp to come join them to say goodbye. Tripp says he’ll be there in a minute as he’s going to text Ava that he’s heading out tonight since he’s still hoping to see her before he leaves. Steve says he hopes so too and heads to Kayla’s room. Ava then arrives in her clown costume and reveals herself to Tripp.

Joey complains about Orpheus sending Kayla a get well card and asks what it says. Steve then enters the room and asks what’s wrong. Joey informs him that Orpheus sent her a gift. Steve reads the card which says “Congratulations, you lived to tell the tale. I don’t know how you managed to get your hands on the serum but I’m man enough to admit I’ve been bested.” Orpheus goes on to acknowledge that he’s heading back to prison after screwing up his pardon but that the ladies will never be far from his thoughts.

Tripp brings Ava to a waiting room at the hospital and questions what she is doing here. Ava says she knew he was leaving town so she figured he’d be here with his family. Tripp tells her that he’s been worried about her and hates what EJ did to her. Tripp adds that he really got in to it with EJ and punched him in the face. Tripp asks what Ava’s plan is, where she is staying and if she has any money. Ava says she’s making due. Tripp asks if she needs anything and argues that she shouldn’t have to sneak around. Ava says she won’t have to sneak around much longer and says Tripp is the last person left that she cares about other than her grandson who barely knows her. Tripp then invites Ava to come back to Seattle with him.

Chad asks EJ what exactly he would be doing at DiMera. EJ says it’s whatever he wants and that Chad can name his terms since he knows the company inside and out, so he needs him on his team. EJ adds that his stock shares will be returned to him. Chad calls that unexpected. EJ explains that having the company back in the family’s hands means everything to him but having everyone getting along and working together means even more. Chad tells EJ that it means a lot and he’s very grateful that they were able to make amends. Chad says he’s flattered but he has to say no to the offer.

Alex goes to Sloan’s apartment dressed as a cop. Sloan jokes about playing dress up. Sloan tells him that she could really use a de-stress because she had a hell of a day. Alex asks what happened. Sloan responds that she can’t disclose details about her cases but brings up Alex hiring Stephanie at Titan and suggests that he get rid of her. Alex asks why but Sloan repeats that she can’t go in to detail. Sloan calls Stephanie an incompetent lying bitch. Alex says he’s sorry to hear that but he didn’t come to talk about business, but to handle it. Alex decides this time he will handcuff Sloan.

Stephanie goes to Paulina’s office and tells her that she got her messages. Paulina asks if she has the materials from Sloan. Stephanie says she doesn’t have them right this minute but she’s working on it as she speaks. Paulina complains that she’s furious because Sloan was just here a few minutes ago. Stephanie guesses she is fired.

Tripp swears that cost of living in Seattle won’t be a problem for Ava as she can stay with he and Joey in Stephanie’s old room. Ava points out that Joey wouldn’t be too happy about that. Tripp asks what the alternative is and if she’s going to go back to her old life in Philadelphia. Ava responds that she couldn’t even if she wanted to because cousin Angelo made it clear there’s no room. Tripp insists on Ava coming to stay with him and says Joey is his brother so he will understand. Tripp argues that Ava has worked too hard to turn her life around and doesn’t deserve to be treated like this. Tripp pleads with Ava to come with him and let him help her out for a change. Ava then agrees to go but adds that there’s one thing she needs to take care of first.

EJ jokes with Chad that it’s hard to take rejection from a clown seriously. Chad gets that EJ is not used to hearing no. EJ admits he’s painfully aware that he treated him abysmally last time they worked together but promises that this time will be different. Chad tells EJ that means a lot to him and he appreciates it. Chad says he probably would say yes to the offer but he’s already taken another job. EJ says he knows about that as he read the press release that he’s consulting at SJ PR. EJ argues that the company can’t be much of a future for him, pointing out that they are going to lose a major client a week after the election and he’d have a lot more responsibility at DiMera. Chad responds that he doesn’t want more responsibility as he’s just dipping his toes back in and can choose how much he handle there which he appreciates. EJ tells him that he can come back to DiMera at his own pace then. Chad states that PR is different and he kind of likes it and he really likes working with Stephanie. EJ thought he detected something when he said Stephanie’s name but Chad assures that he’s not ready to date yet and probably won’t be for a very long time. EJ understands and says if Chad’s happy at his job then he’s happy for him, but if he ever changes his mind, the door to DiMera will always be open. Chad thanks him and says he really appreciates that. EJ hugs Chad and sends his love to his kids. EJ tells Chad that he’ll still get his shares back. Chad asks if Kate will get her shares back but EJ says never.

Steve finishes a call with John and informs Kayla and Joey that Marlena and Kate got the same card from Orpheus. Steve argues that Orpheus knows he failed in his mission, so he’s doing everything he can to make them think he’s still a threat, but he thinks Orpheus knows that he can’t beat them. Steve assures Kayla that Orpheus is never going to beat them. Tripp enters the room and says it looks like he’s late for the party. Tripp then asks what’s going on. Steve says it’s nothing he needs to worry about. Kayla brings up hearing that Tripp and Joey are determined to go back to Seattle tonight. Tripp informs Joey that they might have a little company staying with them for a little while.

Stephanie tells Paulina that she can explain but Paulina doesn’t want to hear it. Paulina complains that Stephanie lied to her over and over again and assured that she had the situation under control when all she’s done is make it even worse. Paulina questions what Stephanie was thinking by trying to pay off a blackmailer with fake money. Paulina complains about Stephanie not letting her know what was going on or giving her a chance to decide how to handle it. Paulina declares that now because of Stephanie’s foolishness, Sloan’s client is demanding even more money and she has no choice but to pay it. Stephanie responds that she knows where the documents are and asks for a chance to get her hands on them so she can make this right. Paulina asks how many times she’s heard that. Stephanie insists that she’s been working 24/7 to fix this but Paulina says she hasn’t accomplished anything. Stephanie reminds Paulina that she said if she pays Sloan, the demands will never stop. Paulina argues that thanks to Stephanie, she has no other choice.

Alex handcuffs Sloan to her bed and then blindfolds her. Sloan says now she can’t see him. Alex says the point is for her not to see what’s coming as he kisses her. Alex then reaches in to Sloan’s purse and says he has a surprise for her as he steals her keys. Sloan questions what he’s doing. Alex claims he’s getting undressed as he goes to unlock her filing cabinet. Sloan asks what that noise is. Alex repeats that it’s a surprise. Alex talks about a story he heard about his cousin handcuffing someone at a sex party and then not even having sex with them. Alex then retrieves the folder titled “Price” from the cabinet.

Stephanie apologizes to Paulina. Paulina doesn’t want to hear another word from her and says she can’t risk this secret coming out and ruining her chances of becoming Governor and more importantly, Chanel’s life. Stephanie repeats that she’s so sorry. Paulina warns that Stephanie will be even more sorry when she calls Victor and all of her other high profile clients to tell them that they need to cut ties with her ASAP. Paulina declares that by the time she’s done with her, SJ PR willl be DOA.

Joey questions Tripp inviting his mother to live with them without even asking him. Steve questions Ava agreeing. Tripp points out that Ava didn’t have much choice as she has nowhere else to go. Tripp adds that Ava is sad, lost, and alone but she is his mom. Joey questions wanting her to be their roommate. Kayla asks if she can’t talk Joey in to staying in Salem now.

EJ goes back to working at home and looks behind him, then tells himself to get a grip as there’s no knife wielding killer out there. The door then opens and EJ sees the person in the clown costume once again.

Stephanie goes to see Chad. Chad asks if she wants him to come in to work but Stephanie says not tonight and maybe not ever because she just got fired.

Sloan’s doorbell rings which startles Alex as Sloan remarks about the lousy timing.

EJ grabs a knife and demands to know who the clown is and what they want. She unmasks to reveal EJ’s mother, Susan Banks. EJ questions what she is doing here. Susan exclaims that she has to tell him something very important. Susan then tells EJ that he is in terrible danger.

Ava goes to the DiMera Crypt and tells Jake’s plaque that this is goodbye as she is leaving town. Ava says other than her grandson Henry, the only thing she’s sad to leave is Jake. Ava talks about what a big decision this was for her as she was determined to get revenge on EJ for what he did to them but she talked to her son Tripp and decided to just let it go. The door then opens and Ava’s dead son Charlie appears and declares that was her first mistake, listening to the wrong son.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Henry, the only thing I’m sad to leave is.

Stephanie, what up?

Sorry to keep leaving messages, but I’m pretty wound up as you can imagine. So I’m telling you again that as soon as you get that file from Sloan Peterson, I wanted deliver it to me immediately. Stephanie, I wanna thank you again for all you’ve done to neutralize that Viper. Me and my Chanel, we are forever your dead.

Oh,

what the hell? Hope this isn’t a bad time. It always is for you, Ms. Peterson. Not to mention our business is concluded. And who gave you that idea?

Ten two on the nose. Right? Oh, I missed the kids Halloween party, didn’t I? Yeah. You want a leftover circus peanut? Oh no. I hate circus peanuts. Yeah. Kids didn’t like ’em either. That’s why there’s nothing left in the bag. But those, well, the staff lead ’em. Don’t worry. We’re all about free food around here.

You just said we. Yeah, I did. Force of habit, right? Well, apropo of force of habit and the fact that you used to work here. I just ran into a little kid upstairs named Malachi. He was asking after you and he showed me the most impressive fake barf trick I’ve ever seen. He said you taught it to him. Oh man.

Yeah. I’m really sad I missed that, Malachi. Oh yeah, he’s a, he’s really cool kid. Yeah, he thinks you’re pretty cool too. In fact, he said, you’re best buds. So if you stick around a little longer, maybe you could teach him another trick. Mm. And if you stick around even longer, there we go. What? What? I was just about to say.

No, I was just about to say, if you stick around even longer, you could become his doc and his good butt again. Right. That I guess it actually, what I was gonna say was, I hope you stay in Salem because I really love having you here. I love being here, but my life is in Seattle now. I just got a return to get there tonight, so I just came to say goodbye.

Thank you Bell. I am indeed thrilled to be back running Damira. No, no. I don’t intend to go public about a Batali’s crimes. Not as long as she abides by our agreement. I’m sure I’m not the only one celebrating her banishment from Salem never to be seen or her from again.

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

My client is growing very impatient of your games. Well, if you knew anything about me at all, you know I don’t play games and neither do I. If you don’t pay up, this whole world will know you and your daughter’s dirty little secret. What are you talking about? Stephanie Johnson assured me that everything was resolved.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but your spin doctors spun a bunch of lies to the both of us.

Glad to see you’re still in the office. I’m glad you’re here too. So, aside from my main objective, which is revitalizing Bella Magazine, I am happy to report that I closed the McGowen deal. So I’m gonna need you to put out a press release for that asap. You know, the same standard self congratulatory bs. I will get right on that.

Thank you. But first I was hoping that I could ask you to do something for me.

So how Book your return flight, huh? Yeah, yeah. You know, now that Kayla’s doing well, I get back. That makes sense. But you know, your mom’s not gonna be too happy if you leave without seeing her. Wow. Really pulling out all the stops, aren’t you? I’m trying. Yeah. Well, as far as my mom goes, because you haven’t heard, well, I’ve been at the hospital 24 7 up until now.

What didn’t I hear? EJ Damara ran her outta town. I have no idea where she is.

Yes, I’m well aware that A and Gabby are likely are for my blood, but if they come for me, they’ll live to regret it or maybe not live at all. A little Halloween humor.

My mom made some bad choices. I know, but she was going to marry Jake. That part wasn’t a lie. Well, yeah, but does that excuse her from faking a marriage and helping herself to his demari shares? No, but I’m just saying that the punishment doesn’t fit the. She was grieving and ej what he took away Her job, her home?

Yeah. You know, he could have had her arrested and sent to Statesville. I’d say he treated her pretty well considering the circumstances. Well, not out of any sense of compassion. I mean, he had his own ulterior motives. What do you mean? I’d rather I get into it. Okay. So you have no idea where your mother is?

No, no. I just have a text from her saying that she’s okay and that she would see me soon,

but, well, it just doesn’t make sense. It’s not like Eva to give in and just leave.

That was. Damn a charge. You scared the hell outta me. There’s someone sneaking around outside. It’s the same damn costume. Ask anybody. Damn. They were, they were just right here. The way your PR meisters plan crashed and burned. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised she didn’t have the nerve to tell you. Tell me what that she sent her lackey, Chad Damira, to pay me off with Who’s money?

It wasn’t money. It was counterfeit. The only reason I found out was pure chance. If I hadn’t realized I was being scammed, I’d be out my retainer and my client could be arrested for passing big bills. You’re a fine Wanna be talking about fakes. I don’t believe a word of this ridiculous story. You have seen the evidence and you’ve heard my terms.

I’ve got no reason to lie. Has Stephanie called you today? No, but I’m sure. Gee, I wonder why she might be avoiding you. You are five points ahead in the polls and the election is next week. This is a terrible time to have your daughter’s exploits lashed across every newspaper cover in the state. Wouldn’t she agree?

Are you asking me for a favor? I know, I know. I already owe you big time for covering for me with Sloan last night. You think? Well, it’s not like I meant to find you handcuffed to her bed practically naked. Well, that was a surprise for the both of us, trust me. But you know, Stephanie, I do not think that the words naked and handcuffs in the same sentence is appropriate office conversation.

Probably not. Hmm. Look, I’m not going to tell Slum that you broke into her apartment, but you can’t do it again. You’re right about that. I can’t push my luck, but I told Paul Price that I would deliver the compromising materials This. Sloan’s been threatening her with today, and I don’t know how I’m gonna do that without your help.

So Stephanie told me that it’s far more interesting to be in Salem than to live in Seattle. Oh yeah. Did she tell you why she feels that? Oh, come on. You know, there is never a dull moment here. We have our own super villains, we have paranormal activities. There’s Dr. Ralph raising people from the dead. And of course you have your wildly fascinating family who lives here.

Gee, you wouldn’t be sending me on a guilt trip now, would you, mom? Mm-hmm. Be totally outta. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Enough about family. I was wondering about Wendy Shin. Wendy Shin. That’s a pretty random wonder. No, not really. I heard you and trip talking about her when you both thought I was sleepy.

What? You’re kidding. No. And it sounded like you were both kind of into her. Well, disregarding the fact that you were eavesdropping on trip and i’s conversation ? Um, I was not eavesdropping. You both were in my room talking very loudly as I recall. Mm, yeah, I guess we probably were. And you know, because you’re still in such a weakened state and I’ll let it go this time.

That was very kind. And uh, yeah, back to Wendy. Trip and I might be kind of into her, but unless you want Salem to get even more interesting, you definitely don’t wanna see the two of us in intense competition for the attention of the very same woman. So that won’t work for a reason, uh, to keep me or trip here.

Sorry. Okay. You’re right. But you can’t blame a girl for trying. No, I can’t. And I love you for it. Just remember, we’ll be video chatting all the time and you’ll come visit. We’ll come back here, you know? Right. But seriously, I do want you to be happy wherever you are. Thanks, mom.

So are you still on, on Track to get outta here? Absolutely. And if anybody tries to stand in my way, I promise you that I will sign me out myself. I bet you well, um, you sure it isn’t worth staying a couple extra days just to make sure you’re okay. Especially after scaring us all half to death with that, you know, flat lining stunt you pulled, tell the truth.

You did it for attention, didn’t you? Huh? Cause it worked. I mean, look at all these. Yeah. Honestly, I’ve been so exhausted. I haven a chance to look at them. Oh, I can help you out with that. What’s more fun than open in presence? Go for it. Okay. Judging by the size of this box, I’m guessing it is candy. Hm, let me see.

Well, if it is candy, it probably is from Julie. She really loves her salt water tap, and she always tapes the cards. Yeah, well see for yourself.

Wow. What’s wrong? Uh, this isn’t from Julie, it’s from Morpheus.

I’m sure you probably just saw a trick or treater

trick or treaters tend to come to the front door. Well, they probably got lost, or they’re playing a prank on you. They’re wearing the exact same outfit you have. Yeah, so we’re a hundred other people. I just took Thomas and Charlotte, the HARTON score. It’s a better song. These things were 1999.

Look what you saw out there was probably just. I suppose you right. Ah, why do you wanna see me? I gotta get home the talk of the kids very well. Um, I’ll make this short and sweet. Chad, I would like you to come back and look at the mirror.

I still think that file is in that locked filing cabinet in Sloan’s apartment, which is total speculation on your. Well, it wouldn’t be if I’d had the chance to pick the lock, but you didn’t and we just agreed that you can’t do that again. Okay. You’re right about that. Um, but maybe someone who’s a welcome visitor to slums bedroom could somehow find the opportunity.

Hold up. Are you asking me to pick a lock? Like. Legit commit a crime. Nevermind. You probably don’t have the skills. Oh, that’s not the point. Or maybe you can look around and find the key. Oh, I think I know where the key is, but I also think that stealing from Sloan is crossing a major line. Oh, come on.

Think about the line she’s crossed. Sloane should have never had these materials in the first place. Look, When I first took this job with Paulina, I thought that helping her get elected was gonna be simple, you know, the usual fundraisers and campaign speeches. I’ve never dealt with anything like this before.

It was blackmail and I guess it just threw me. I mean, the stakes have never been higher. I just, I thought I could do my usual clever spin until I managed to fix the situation. I’ve always been able to do it. Why not the ceiling? When you’re fast on your feet, you trust that you’ll always find a way to be able to run yourself outta trouble, so you can’t.

But now you’re asking me to fix things for you. This is not just about me. Well, no, this is about Paulina and her. Now you know what this is about so much more than that. This is about the future of our community and state. We are laying it on thick now, aren’t we? No, I’m not. Paulina’s campaign is way more than a job for me.

I believe in her. I think she can do great things for this state. I’d work for her for. Wow. So then I suppose that would be a bad time to ask you to maybe reconsider the ridiculous rate that you’re charging. Titan, are you gonna help me or not? Well, Stephanie, why don’t we get clear on what this help is that you are asking of me?

You are asking me to go have sex with Sloane. Yeah, you can go over to Sloan’s apartment and look for a key without having sex with her again, for sure. But

look, there are no real feelings between me and Sloan, but sex or no sex, I don’t feel comfortable going over to her apartment with a secret agenda of stealing from her.

You know what? I shouldn’t have asked you to do this. This is my problem. I will solve it myself. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go deal with this press release.

This is pure, unadulterated black male. It’s business shady as hell business. And when I’m governor, the first thing I’m going to do is report you to the state bar for unethical practices. You’ll never be governor if you don’t make this deal. And might I add these stalling techniques aren’t exactly earning points with my client.

In fact, the price just went up dramatically. Oh. Well, you can tell your mystery client, I am done dealing with underlings. I demand to speak with him directly. And what makes you think it’s a him? I’m paid to protect my client’s anonymity. So you’re gonna deal with me and only me here is the new dollar figure.

And the number to the escrow will count offshore. If the money’s not in their first thing tomorrow morning, your political career is over, and so is your daughter’s life as you know it.

I know it’s not like my mom to just let go of anything without a fight. I think that falling in love with Jake Damara and then losing him so suddenly just took all the fight out of her. Well, I hope that’s true for your’s sake, because I know how devoted you are to your mom, and I don’t want to have to see you worrying about her all the time.

Okay. It’s probably wondering where I am about now. I think your brother’s in there saying, You wanna come and join us? Yeah. I’ll be there in a minute. I’m gonna text my mom, let her know I’m heading out tonight. I’m still hoping I might find a way to be able to see her before I leave.

I hope so too.

Uh, the holiday party’s upstairs. You got off on the front floor.

What’s your mother,

son of a bitch? Has the goal to send you a get well card? What does it say? Hey, Joe. Hey dad.

Oh man, some candy,

sweetness. What’s wrong? Orpheus sent her a.

Congratulations. You’ve lived to tell the tale. I don’t know how you managed to get your hands on that serum, but I am man enough to admit when I’ve been vested, I guess it’s back to Statesville for me. I may have squandered my pardon. A few ladies will never be far from my thought. Sincerely.

Hey, what are you doing here? I, you’re leaving town, right? So I figured you’d be here hanging with the Johnson Klan. I, I’ve been so worried about you. I’m really sorry that EJ threatened you and it makes you feel any better. I really got into it with him and I punched him in the face, in fact. Okay. Well that’s my boy

So, so tell me what your plan is. Like where, where are you staying? Do you have any money? No, I’m making due. Right? Well, if you need anything, mommy shouldn’t have to be sneaking around to see the people you care about. Okay. Well, I’m not gonna have to sneak around much longer. Okay. You’re the only person left that I care about am mean other than my grandson who barely knows me.

What if you go someplace you wouldn’t sneak around at all? Come back to Seattle with me.

So what exactly would I be doing at Damara? Whatever you want. You can name me on times, you know the company inside and out, and I need you on my. And of course your stock shares will be returned to you.

That’s unexpected. Having the company back in the family’s hands means everything to me. But having everyone get along, dare I say, working together means even more.

That means. And I am very grateful that we were able to make amends. I’m flattered ej, but uh, as far as the offer, I have to say no.

Oh my, I did not know we were playing dress up tonight. So should I go put on my orange jumpsuit? You know, I think we’re both wearing too many twelves. Strip search it is then. Mm-hmm.

Oh, I could really use a dish nest. I had one hell of a day. Really? What happened? You know, I can’t disclose the details of my cases with you, but, um, you hired Stephanie Johnson for Titan pr? No. Yeah. Why?

You should really get rid of her. Like I said, I can’t go into details. Suffice to say she is an incompetent lying bitch.

Whoa. I’m sorry to hear that. It’s too bad, but I didn’t come here to talk about business. I can’t even to handle it this time. Mm-hmm. , I’ll do the honors.

Paulina. Hi. Listen, I got your messages. May I presume you have the materials you promise to get from Sloan about that. Do you have them or don’t you? I don’t have them in my hands right this minute, but don’t worry, I’m working on it as we speak. Oh, I’m not worried. I’m furious. Ms. Peterson was just here a few minutes ago.

Oh yes. Oh, I’m fired, aren’t I? With extreme prejudice.

I don’t know, trip. You know the cost of living in Seattle won’t be a problem for you, I swear. Right? You can stay with me and Joey in Stephanie’s old, old room. Yeah. Joey’s not gonna be too happy about that. What’s the alternative? Mom gonna go back to Philly. It’s the life you look behind. Okay. You know what?

You will be very glad to know that I couldn’t go back to that life, even if I wanted. Cousin Angelo’s taking a new bride, and he made it crystal clear that there is no room in the tri-state area for two mafia princesses. Okay, then come and stay with me. Joey’s my brother, he’ll understand. Mom, you’ve worked too hard to turn your life around and you don’t deserve to be treated like this.

So just come with me please. Let me help you out for a change.

Okay. Really . Yeah, there’s, um, there’s just one thing I need to take care of first.

It’s hard to take rejection from a clown all that seriously, and I realize you’re not used to hearing the word. Look, Chad, I am painfully aware that I treated you abysmally last time you worked together, but I promise you this time things will be different. Look, ej, that means a lot to me. Really. I appreciate it.

And, and, and honestly, I, I probably would say yes to the offer, but I’ve already taken another job. I know about that. I, I read the press release. You’re consulting at S J P R, but surely there can’t be much of a future in that for. The company is going to lose a major client in one week after the election for one thing, and you’d have a lot more responsibility at the mirror.

But see, that’s the thing. I don’t want more responsibility. I’m just dipping my toe back in and, and you know, I get to choose how much I can handle there. And, and I, I appreciate that. Fine. You can come back to DIR at your own. Look pr it’s different. And honestly, I kind of like it and I really like working with Stephanie.

What? Nothing. I, I, I just, I just thought I detected a little something when you mentioned to her name. Stop. Why? Because I said that I like working with, with her. No, I’m not ready to date yet. And, and honestly, I probably won’t be for a very long.

I can certainly understand that. Look, if you are happy in your current job, then I’m happy for you. But if you ever change your mind, the door to DIR will always be open. Thank you. I really, I really appreciate it. Now I know you have to get out of here. I will give my love to your kids. Okay. Okay. Hey, so I still get my shares back.

Of course. What about Kate? She get hers back. Never. Okay buddy. Thanks

Marla. And Kate got the same card, but you ladies will never be far from my thoughts. God, that’s so creepy. Yeah. It’s pretty simple. Orpheus knows he failed in his mission, so he’s doing whatever he can to make us think he’s still a threat, but I think he sees it riding on the wall and he knows he can’t beat us.

You know that baby, don’t you? Orpheus is never gonna beat us. Right? You welcome. Hey, let’s get a little late for the party.

What’s going on? Nothing you need to worry about.

Um, so I hear that uh, you boys are determined to go back to Seattle tonight. Yeah. And uh, Joey looks like we might have a little company stay with us for a little while.

I can explain. I don’t want to hear it. You lied to me over and over again. You assured me that you had control of the situation when all you’ve done is make it even worse. Now, what hell were you thinking? Trying to pay a black male with funny money. Okay. I thought, no, you didn’t. If you’d given it the least bit of fault, you would’ve let me know the truth of what was going on and given me the chance to decide how to handle this situation.

No, you took that chance away from me. Now because of your foolishness, miss Peterson’s client is the man even more money, and I had no choice what to pay it. I know where the documents are. Just give me a chance to get my hands on them and I can make this right. Oh, how many tons have I heard? Ms. Price. I have been working 24 7 to fix this.

I’d rather you’d work nine and a five and actually accomplish something. You said it yourself. If you pay her, the demands will never stop. It will, thanks to you. I really have no other options. Now, do I?

Let’s make things a little bit more exciting. What do you have in mind? Officer? I’ve been a very bad girl. Lucky for you. I know exactly how to handle bad girls. Hmm? What are you doing? Don’t worry, baby. You just lay there. All beautiful. And relax. Well, now I can’t see your handsome and face and hot body.

And what’s the point in that? Well, the point that no peeking is for you. Mm-hmm. not to see what’s coming.

Okay. Okay. A B,

do I have a surprise for you?

What are you doing? I told you, baby, I’m getting undressed. How many buttons does that outfit have? What’s that noise? I told you, babe. It’s a surprise. You know, I, um, heard this story about my cousin going to this sex. Where she handcuffed the guy to bed while she was searching for this rare amethyst, and you know what?

She didn’t even end up sleeping with the guy.

What a.

I’m so sorry, Paulina. I really wanted to her for you. I want to hear another word coming outta your lying mouth. I can’t risk the secret coming out and ruining not only my chances of becoming governor, but more importantly my daughter’s life. I’m so sorry. You’re going to be even sorry. You know, I call Victor CUAs and all your other high profile.

And tells them they need to cut ties with you asap. By the time I’m done with U S J R will be DOA with a dnr.

Wait a minute, you invited your mother to live with us without even asking me. And she actually agreed. I mean, she didn’t have much choice. She doesn’t have anywhere else to go, but she’s sad. She’s lost and. Well, she is my mom, so now you want her to be our roommate. Sure. I can’t talk you into staying in Salem

at a grip. There is no knife wielding killer out there.

You don’t look like a trick or treater. Can I just do a sour gummy? No. Thank you. Okay, well you want me to come into work? I just have to finish up with the kids. No, not tonight, and maybe not ever. I just got fired.

Talk about lousy timing. They’re telling me,

don’t take another step. Who are you and what do you want?

Yes, mother. You startled me. What are you doing here? Oh my goodness. I wish. Oh my God. I have to tell you, something’s very, very, very, very important. Oh my God. It’s me talking. Your mama talking. Okay. I the clown over there. I mean, I don’t think clowns here said like, you having bad news. What, baby? What do you need to tell me?

I want to tell you something sweet. Her el. You are in terrible. Daddy, you.

This is goodbye Jake. I am leaving town other than my grandson Henry. The only thing I am sad to leave is.

I want you to know what a big decision this was for me. I was determined to get revenge and you’re bastard of brother for he did me and what he did to both of us.

Can I talk to my son?

And I decided to just let it. Ah, well that was your first mistake.

You’ve been listening to the wrong son.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

are divorced. You just signed the papers. Oh yeah. I’m sorry. No, no, no. It’s

Don’t pee. I won’t, I, I won’t minute. Something smells really good. Okay. You can listen now. I can. Oh my goodness. Look at you. I’m a princess. You are a princess. Oh my goodness. Yes. Well, these look spectacular little princess. They’re pumpkin. I made them from scratch. Oh, did. Hello everyone. Mommy, you look great.

She’s a. Yes, I know. And daddy’s gonna be a king, which makes us the royal family. Can grandma be a part of the royal family? Oh, well that’s up to her, isn’t it?

Lady,

so tell me, what are you doing going through Kristin’s things?

Oh my goodness. What a surprise. , you look terrific. This for you.

I dunno. Come on, come on in. I’ll get you some coffee. Honestly, Stephan, I was just gonna drop this off with Harold and keep going. Well then it’s a good thing I open the. But you’re working? Nah, it’s nothing important. I’m just getting caught up on stuff to mirror, that’s all.

So, which one of you wants to sign first?

I do.

I cannot wait to be rid of you once and for all. Stephen. Hey, what is it? What’s wrong? Nothing. Nothing at all.

Dr. Ralph Lee Shin everything okay in Ja. I’m sorry to hear that, but the reason I’m calling is Gabby told me about going to the lab.

Yes. It was very wrong of her to hold a scalpel to your throat, but I wanted to know how you managed to convince her that you hadn’t brainwashed Stephan, because we need to keep our stories straight Now. What exactly did you tell her that got her to back down?

What? What kind of. But why in God’s name did you have to erase her memory? You told her the truth. Do you understand? You wouldn’t have had to erase her memory if you hadn’t told her what she was never supposed to know. I know Gabby was in attack mode, but still you spineless little.

I think you, who are you talking to?

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

Thanks for the update. Catch you later, Don. You look provocative. Hmm. Uh, I asked you who you were talking to. Well, curiosity killed the cat. Yeah. I am curious, I mean, you said I was in a attack mode and, well, that doesn’t sound particularly complimentary, so I’d like to know who you said it to. To a venture capitalist and they think attack mode.

Is the sexiest thing going Venture capitalist. We have to raise a lot of money in a very short amount of time. That is, if we’re going to take over me, really think we can do it. All you have to do is trust me.

So I was just thinking about you. Well, if I’m honest, I’ve been thinking about you kind of nonstop since our fake trip to our fake beach. Uh, that’s, that’s why I stopped by. I wanted to return the sunglasses and the shirts. No need. It’s a gift, yo. Okay. Thank you. Well, I, I, I should go, but, uh, you haven’t had your coffee yet.

Oh right. Yeah. Thank you.

You know, I was, uh, thinking it is very kind of you to stop by and drop that stuff off so quickly, but if I’m honest, I was hoping you were just stopping by to see me.

Well, I think, uh, Marlene is enjoying the pancakes, Rachel, and I’m quite pleased at how they turned out. Well. They’re very good. Rachel. Oh, oh, oh, I’m sorry. I mean, princess Rachel, thank you so much. You know what, Rachel? Sweetheart, you know it’s gonna make those even better. Jelly. Do you mind going to the kitchen and grabbing some?

Sure. Be right back.

Well, I can see you’re having a wonderful Halloween. You’re just including joy and excitement. I think Rachel’s pretty excited, , but you treat her mother like a intruder, you know? Don’t you think your granddaughter can see you searing at me. This is Brady’s home. He’s invited you here. Without notice, I might.

We weren’t warned about it, but I feel kind of sad for Chloe because I think she and Brady have been very happy together. If you’re so upset at how Chloe was treated, you can take that up with Brady. It was his idea to dump her

that, come on. I wasn’t going through Kristen’s things. I was, I was looking for this guy. Here he is. It’s Rachel’s favorite dog. Had to find him. She was worried about it and. Found him, right? Oh, that explains everything. Yeah. So mission accomplished, I guess. So how about you and I just cut the crap now, I’m sorry.

Out of the blue, you break up with Chloe. I bring Myla to home from the hospital, and now we have Kristen Dira as our star border. And when I ask you. Repeatedly what’s happening here? You just go into your, I’m doing this for Rachel Mantra. I am. But what about the fact that it’s not good for Rachel and now in the name of God, could you even move that woman into this house here without talking to Mar later?

You know how long she was on death store? She comes in here and finds out Christ and Demira is living in her house. No. Have you even forgotten what that woman has done to Mar Lane? And not to mention everybody else she loves including No. No. I haven. I’m sorry, things with Kristen moved really fast and I, um, I meant to tell you before you headed out, and I’m really sorry about what this is doing to Marlena, but I, um, how you calling me?

Hanging here kid? Come on. But what that, what will you just believe? But believe me when I say that I’m doing what I think is best for the people that I love, I never doubted that poor moment. Thank you, but kid, I am your dad and you can trust me. So whatever the hell is going on here, you can tell me.

What kind of car are you driving these days? You know I can’t drive. Yeah, well you still have the greatest smile in the world. And you’re still goofy. Yeah. Sadly. Yes, I am. I missed you so much.

So come with us to H Town Square. Oh, Eric’s working, honey. Yeah, but it does sound like fun. It is. They give out like a thousand pounds of candy every year. A thousand p what? Hey, aren’t she supposed to be in a costume? It’s in the, it’s a surprise. Mm-hmm. . Okay. I got. Why don’t you come by in your costume here afterwards and we’ll take some photos and then I can still tell your candy

Hey, uh, are these the photos from the dude? Oh yes. But you are not working today and you are on your way to the warden town Square.

Oh, actually, uh, I do have to work today too. Then who’s gonna take my trick or treating? I have to tell you. I like your outfit a lot. Well, it’s not for you. I’m taking art. The Horton Town scare. What is that? Well, they, they decorate the square. The shops all give out candy. The kids get dressed up. So you’re a kid now.

Very funny. Now Ari, Ari wanted us to be cats and I’ve just missed so many Halloweens with her, and either I was working or she was in Phoenix, but not that I’m outta work, I just feel like I’m making up for lost time. Hmm, that’s nice. Yeah, she’s almost a teenager now. Pretty soon she’ll want nothing to do with me.

I can’t imagine anyone wanting nothing to do with you. Well, what about Stephan? The truth is I did wanna see you, but it just didn’t seem fair. Why not? Well, I’m not the greatest company these days. I’ll be the judge of that.

Okay. It’s, it’s also cuz you said that you were, you know, madly in love with you.

I think what you want is a girlfriend, and what I want is pretend trips to pretend beaches, and it just didn’t seem fair to let you think it was something else. Well, don’t worry about being fair. I enjoy spending time with you

and I know you’re not gonna get over Brady in a day. Especially after the way he dumbed me. Yeah. That was not cool. Yeah, but I even, I understand that, you know, Rachel hates me and he’s really worried about her. That still doesn’t excuse the way he treated you. I still get that. You know, he’s under pressure.

You know what I don’t understand is letting that evil woman move to John and Marlena’s. I, I just don’t get it and I keep forgetting. I’m talking about your sister. I’m sorry. That’s okay. I am well aware that Kristin is not about to win any popularity contests. It just doesn’t make any sense moving her into the house.

Well, maybe it’s because they have a shrink on call 24 7. Sorry, that wasn’t funny. No, but it’s just so absurd. I’m sorry I didn’t, I didn’t come here to unload all my problems onto you. No, no, no. Come on. That’s what I’m here for.

Have you had breakfast? They put out a hell of a spread. It sounds great, but I’m late for work. 30 minutes tops, huh? Tell you what,

we will pretend that we are at the breakfast buffet at the Villa Costa Costa Arena, Miami Beach. Hmm. And we will also pretend that neither of us has ever heard of sale. Heard of what

I’ve always been impressed and a bit mystified at, uh, Chloe’s talent for soliciting sympathy. Maybe because sympathy. A completely foreign concept to you. Take go. Mommy . Thank you darling.

Were you still having a fight? ? No, honey, we were just waiting for Daddy. Oh. Or should I say King Brady? Yeah. Come to think about where. Brady and I, grandpa John, dad, I trust you more than anyone on the planet, and I know it’s gotta be hard for you to understand why I’m doing what I’m doing, because you won’t tell me what you’re doing.

You’re just handing me a cover story, don’t you think? I know. I know, I know. This is, let me tell you this. I am doing what I think is best for my family, and I’m doing it the way that you would do it. I’m asking you to trust me on this one. I do, I do. Are you sure? There’s nothing that I can do to help you

there. You boys are in my room going through my things and, uh, apparently talking about me. Well, you know what, Kristen? It’s my house. This is my. And I can talk to him when I want to, where I want to, and about any damn thing that I wanna,

this is only day one. I hope he doesn’t crack under pressure. He won’t, neither will Marlena. Well, don’t expect me to. I can take whatever they dish out. What about Rachel? Have you given one ounce of thought about the, the loving, stable environment you’ve created here? You know, there is a petulant streak in your family That I find very annoying.

Okay, then just move out. But is she right now? This invasion of my privacy forces me to, to state the obvious. Brady. I may be many things but stupid. Stupid is not one of them. My hold over you is that I alone have the serum so that I can help your beloved. Beloved stepmother says that she doesn’t well crook.

Now, if you had a hold of that serum, then I would not have hold of you

So no Brady. It is not in my underwear drawer. And. Under the floorboard, it is someplace where you will never find it, and you are under my thumb.

I know this doesn’t hurt you, but any man who doesn’t want to be with you is a damn fool. It’s. It’s just why, I mean, it’s the way that Stefan hates me. It’s like when we first met and we were at each other’s throats, but it’s not, it’s different. I mean, we used to fight, but there was this underlying connection and now he looks at me like, like I make him sick.

That’s why I knew that Ralph had to have done something except I talked to Ralph and I know that’s not true. I wanna remind you of something you said because I think it is true. Stephan’s attitude towards you makes moving on easier. The Stephan you knew and loved is gone, but I’m here and I swear the way I feel about you will never change.

I, I feel the same way about you, and I’m gonna concentrate on you. Okay? And I’m gonna forget about stuff, and I swear

I’ve forgotten how good these croons are, right? They’re out here every morning. Hey, we could have a standing breakfast date. I know I’m nothing if not relentless. Hold on. Oh, it’s Nicole. She’s probably what I am. Nicole. Hey, I’m on my way, Chloe. I, I’m sorry. I need a big favor. Sure. Can you take Holly to the Horton Town Scare?

I promise we’d go and something came up. Yeah, sure. I’d love to. Do you need to swing by the office to pick her up? Yes, of course. I’ll be right there. Hi. Must be my lucky day. First I get to have breakfast with you and now I get to take Holly. Trick or treating. Huh? That’s great. How about I go with you?

Look what iPhone.

Those pancakes look great. Those are better than great . Mommy and me made them together. Mm. You look thirsty. Would you like some orange juice? I would love some orange juice. Princess, Rachel, thank you very much.

Is everything okay? Well, I don’t think so Do you,

Brady, I want you to know that I am not angry with. Whatever leave. I expect you to go searching for the serum. You are take action kind of man, but you’re not gonna find it. So right now, for all our sakes and more, even for Rachel’s sake, I’m asking you to accept what you cannot change. Like you always.

Except what you cannot change. That’s a serenity prayer, isn’t it? I mean, don’t you think that the three of us need a little Serenity Brady? Come on. Right now. Right now. I mean, what we wanted, it’s, it’s, it’s within our grass, so just please just stop fighting it. It wasn’t long ago that you, you wanted us all to be a family and now we are.

No, we’re not. You will always be Rachel’s mother, but what we had is gone. You resent by taking the res, they’re shaking the re no on. What I resent is you using three human beings to blackmail me in a submission. That’s not a family. Kristen. That’s tyranny. Do you want power over me? Do you wanna bring me to my knee?

You know, grad, this could be the time and place to do just.

No, Kristen? Not here. Not now, not anywhere. Not ever. I wouldn’t count on it. You see, there’s a, a cliche now it goes, there’s a thin line between love and hate. And, uh, we both remember that you used to love me, but you are not the woman that I used to love. See, the Kristin that I loved would never humiliate herself by trying to blackmail someone into sleeping room.

Kristin, I can see that you have all the power at present. I’ll concede that you have me under your thumb at present. You can make me do whatever you want me to do. Do you know what you can’t do? You can’t change how I feel and what I feel for you is contempt.

Hm.

You are not gonna win this one Brady. Come on. Holly and I are old friends. We used to hang out all the time when you guys lived here. Remember she was the Sant person in this house, albeit a very low bar. She always liked you. Yeah. Then it settled. The three of us will go together. Um, well, we don’t have any costumes, Uhha.

Oh, but we do.

I’m sorry. I keep talking about Stephan. Gabby, I’ve said it before, your husband who you really love very much came back from the dead, or is she going to talk about it? Just having a hard time accepting that he hates me, and that’s why I was sure that Ralph had done something to him, but I know that’s not true.

It feels like when Stephan died, so did his love. But I, I know it’s over. We’ve signed the divorce papers and thank God I have you and you always will love you, right? I have to get going cause I gotta go pick up Ariana Sons. How come with you? It’s, it’s a who in town scare. It’s corny. Kids running around.

Not a drop of champagne anywhere. You’d hate it. I think it sounds like a really good way for RA and me to get to know each other a little better. Don’t you have to go into the office? Nah, I can take the morning off. I just, uh, I don’t have a costume. Ears. Ears. I’m going to the town. Square dresses, ears. No.

Ariana and I are both cats, but she doesn’t wanna wear her ears because, well, she says it messes up her hair. So here you go. How do I look like the cats me?

You look so beautiful, sweetheart. Say to you, mommy. Oh, thank you. And what’s taking your daddy so long? Got me to go get him? Oh, no, no, no, honey. Um, we’ll give him another five minutes. Um, Yeah, you should come with us. Yes, please. . Well, thank you. I’m afraid we don’t have any costumes. Oh, well what about that old, uh, devil’s costume from last year and, uh, John, I’m sure you can find a Roman collar around here someplace.

What? Too soon we’ll pass. Oh, well, maybe next year. Oh,

You look great, daddy. Right? Thank you so much. Is this Princess Rachel J. King Brady? Yes, I am. You may call me Your Majesty. Okay. Your Majesty . All right. Shall we go? Huh? Princess Rachel, king Brady. Sure. Queen Kristin. All right. Time to go.

Thank you.

This is a nightmare. Rachels having a good time. Yeah. Yeah. And that helps.

Him and Dog Brady refuses to tell me what’s going on here. I’m baffled. I can’t figure out why he brought that awful woman here to,

they didn’t like the proofs. They didn’t like the proofs. They loved them . Really? That’s great. Yeah. What? Well, um, the problem is they want more photos and they want them yesterday. It’s for the Black Friday marketing blitz. So they’re pulling more clothes and they’re sending them over. Okay. That, that’s, that’s good news.

Yeah. Yeah. I guess, I guess. Um, but there’s, I talk to them, um, I try to actually talk them out of it really, but they want me to do this shoot too. I’m not saying why this is bad news. I wanted to spend time with Holly. She, you know, she did seem pretty happy about going with Lou and Stephan. Yeah. How would you sit through it and we’ll get you there in time so you can catch up with him?

No. Eric, I, I don’t want you to rush through the photo shoot. I’m telling you they were crazy about your work. I mean, this, this could get your photography career started again. Listen, when you’re the model, everything just works better and faster. I mean, you said it. We work really well together.

You know, it’s like we planned this. Chloe and I are dressed for the beach and. Or a shark, which means we are very, very scared of you. Good. You’re supposed to be scared on Halloween, right? I mean like that’s the point, isn’t it? Absolutely. Yeah. I’m going to Sweet. It’s before all the brownies are gone. Okay.

Go. Go. Hurry, hurry. I like that kid. Yeah, she likes you too. Yeah. She seems to remember all the stuff that you guys did together. Well, you know it’s because I exposed her to the finer things in life. Oh, really? Classical music, foreign films. I’m pretty sure Metallica is not classical music and the past and the furious movies are not foreign.

Well, you gotta start somewhere. I know why you guys get along. You’re probably the same age emotionally. Okay. That’s only when I’m with you. Okay. When I’m with you, it’s, it’s like I’m not this money driven corporate warrior. I’m, you know, laid back surfer dude. Oh wow. Okay. Well, I’m gonna start calling you surfer dude.

Then call me anything you want.

Well, stuff it really didn’t expect to see you here.

Hey Nicole. I am ready whenever you are. Okay. So where do you want me,

Stephan? Chloe, do you know Gabby’s daughter, Ari? Yeah, of course I do. Happy L Honey. Uh, do you know Holly Nicole’s. Hi. Hi. You are smart to ditch the hair. Yeah, they look dumb. Did you just get here? Yeah, I’ll pick you to the high though. They’ve got popcorn balls. Is that okay? Yeah, sure. Have fun. Sorry, it’s my dad.

I have to take this. Oh, Holly looks like she’s having problems with that door. So fin, I’ll be right back.

So who are you pocket or tubs? Neither. And, uh, trust me, Gabby, you don’t need to make small talk. Yeah, no. Yeah, you’re right. We have absolutely nothing to say to each other.

Kristen wasn’t kidding. That kitchen does look like a tornado. Hit it,

John. They’re gone. You can talk to me now. Excuse me, you haven’t said a word in 20 minutes. Well, I, I, I’m sorry, sweetheart. I’m just, I’m just mulling over something that, uh, that Brady said. You know, I was pounding him pretty hard about leaving Chloe, Kristen moving in here, and then he finally said something he said,

I’m doing what I think is best for the people that I love. He didn’t, he didn’t say for Rachel, he said For the people that I love, doc. I think I know why Brady was in Kristen’s room going through her things. What are you thinking? He was looking for that serum.

Okay. Don’t go too far. Okay. I can see you. I really nice doing these things together. We’re standing here together. We’re not doing this together. Would you mind just meeting me halfway? For Rachel’s sake, you need to stop saying for Rachel. None of what you’re doing is for Rachel’s sake, okay? You’re wrong.

You’re wrong. I’ve never seen her so happy. Everybody living under the same roof, everyone she loves. I mean, think about how I must feel living in the same house with John and Marlina. I am making a huge sacrifice for her. Hmm. Oh my God. Look at that little creep. He’s just cut in front of her. Oh, he’s gonna regret this big time.

As much as I regret the day I laid eyes on you.

We know that Ralph has always been on the Demira payroll, so what, what if, what if Kristin got the serum from Ralph and has been using yet the blackmail Brady doesn’t make any sense if Kristin. Had had Blackmailed Brady with a serum. And the moment he knew that we’d all recovered, he would’ve left her, he would’ve gone back to Chloe.

But instead he moved Kristin in with us. So what was he looking for in her room and why the hell won’t he tell me what’s going on here? I, I, I swear to God, I don’t know how or why, but Kristen is calling all of the shots here, Brady. He’s doing everything he can to try to change. Brady. Hey, I’m assuming that you’re King Brady.

King Brady. I still don’t believe adults should wear Halloween costumes, at least past the age of 10, but yeah. But you’re doing it for Rachel’s sake, right? Yeah. I know Chloe, I saw that you came with my, uh, brother Stephan. I know how much he adore. I hope Rachel has a fun Halloween. Oh, she will. With her mom and her dad.

She’s very happy that we’re a family again,

Chloe, actually, I was, uh, meaning to ask you, I noticed your way with Holly. Is Nicole okay?

What about. Oh, no. That’s awful. No, no, no. You’re beautiful.

Well, um, that’s, that’s the one you’re gonna go with. I’m gonna go change and meet Holly of this square. Yeah. Okay. Go have fun.

Nicole asked me to bring Holly here, and then I volunteered to tag along. How does Brady feel about that? Brady and I aren’t together anymore. Oh, that’s why he’s here with. And Rachel, he’s here mainly for Rachel, right? Yeah. Stephan, looks like you didn’t waste any time making your move. Stephen and Holly are my friends.

Yeah, of course. Stephan came to hang out with Holly. Well, it was great bumping into you. Happy surfing. Hey, hey, hey. You okay? Yeah, I’m fine. I, um, I just, I’m surprised to see that Chloe and, and Brady broke up because I saw them like two minutes ago and it looked like there was still a connection. I’m gonna go check up on Ari,

just like there’s still a connection between you and Stephan. Uh, I’m, I’m sorry for whatever that was with Gabby. Are you two? No, no, no. You two are divorce. I just signed the papers. Oh yeah. I’m sorry. No, no, no. It’s exactly what I wanted. It still doesn’t make it easy. Trust me. I, I have experience.

Well, it looks like we’ve both got what we.

Stephanie, what up?

Sorry to keep leaving messages, but I’m pretty wound up as you can imagine. So I’m telling you again that as soon as you get that file from Sloan Peterson, I wanted live it to me immediately. Stephanie, I wanna thank you again for all you’ve done to neutralize that Viper. Me and my Chanel, we forever your dead.

Oh,

what the hell? Hope this isn’t a bad time. It always is for you, Ms. Peterson. Not to mention our business is concluded. And who gave you that idea?
